Happy New Year

It's very late, but Happy New Year. The New Year is a time for us to reflect on the old and move on to a fresh new beginning.



Here's a quick look at how I started http://thejersymikejrshow.wordpress.com/2009/08/26/hello-world/



It would be a short while later that I would team with Chad Potier and James King III whom I meant via twitter to form ThaSPORTSKRIB on blogtalkradio.com. The three of us would learn from each other and of course through trial and error. We built relationships with pretty important people and with aspiring up and comers like ourselves.



So what's in store for us now at ThaSPORTSKRIB? A new website, some sponsors and we have new partners. Joining us now are the guys from UrbanSportsScene. They have their own podcast http://waleo.podbean.com/ and can be found on twitter http://twitter.com/UrbanSportsScene. These focus on all things sports related pertaining to the DC/Maryland/VA area.



When I first partnered with James (WCSteelerfan) to begin ThaSPORTSKRIB we both had a vision of being different from mainstream sports talk radio shows. We wanted to talk about sports that didn't really get much time in the spotlight. Boxing was one of those sports. My "Thru The Ropes" segment was installed as soon as we became a 2 hour show. The guys at ATG Radio http://atgradio.com/ have also partnered with ThaSPORTSKRIB. Andrew Hartley and Frank Stea will be jumping off and on, but they will have a hand in obtaining most of the guests appearing on the segment.



The readers of this blog I thank you. The week in and week out listeners of the show I'd like to thank you as well. This wouldn't be possible without you.



Mainly the fellows that distill my favorite drink firefly vodka (http://fireflyvodka.com/). Jump on that website to get cocktail ideas, drinks of the week, prizes and other fun stuff.
