Show Notes

Bagging groceries at Kroger to a Hall of Fame sportwriting career? Mike explains why there aren’t any steps in between
and takes a deep dive into why he has survives and thrives in an endangered profession. A Middle Tennessee native,
Mike has interviewed a Who’s Who including Muhammed Ali, Arnold Palmer, Walter Payton and Bo Jackson revealing
which basketball legend tops his list. Admitting to burn out, listen to why a world record deer helped rekindle his love
for reporting. Nobody in Nashville-area sports journalism has covered more games and met more deadlines than this
son of a guitar player. AMONG THE TOPICS: GOLF IS NOT AN OPTION, PLAYING SEMI-TOUGH FOOTBALL, A BEATLES
REUNION, ON THE VANDY BEAT (DOWN), AND NEWSPAPER’S EVOLVING BUSINESS MODEL.
