“Leading Off” Returns… In Our Fifth Podcast

We got the band back together for this podcast

We got the band back together... similar to Dr. Funke's 100% Natural Good-Time Family Band Solution

For those of you clammering for a return of “Leading Off” heard at 8am in spring of 2006 on Marquette Radio you are in great luck.

Chris and Joe joined me for our 5th podcast, the first time we are all on-the-air together since then.

This week’s podcast that consisted of the following topics…

1. Chris Henry tragically dies.

2. If season ended now, who is your NFL MVP?

3. Bears’ Hester Tweets that there are/should be changes coming? Should Lovie go? Who replaces him?

4. Phillies get Halladay, M’s get Lee.

5. Pierre ends up on the South Side. Are we ok with this?

This time around, the Blue Jays put outfielder Alex Rios on waivers. It was announced yesterday that Rios was claimed by an unnamed team.
