Goodbye Fred McLeod

[Glenn]

I'm streaming WDFN and I only heard part of the story, but I think they just said Fred McLeod is leaving Detroit to go work for the Cavs.

Did anyone esle hear the whole story?

[Hermy]

yeah, its official...Cavs. He worked for them in the 80s. His uber-homer style wouldn't have fit here much longer anyway.

[Glenn]

Wow, I feel like I've just hit...the bottom.

(sorry, that was bad)

I wonder who they'll replace him with?

Laimbeer is color, not PBP, so I think I'm safe there.

Could Blaha do both (WB 20 & FSN)? Probably not with his MSU commitments.

EDIT: My early guess is Matt Sheppard, assuming he's not bound by his UM Basketball contract.

[Hermy]

Matt Millen?

i went to HS with mcleod's son. too bad to see him go, i thought he was great.

'the bottom' was great. sometimes he'd say 'too easy!' in the same voice and real fast, i liked that too.

i hope matt shepperd doesnt get the job. his voice is too nasaly, though he does know his stuff.

[Matt]

oh man, that does sting.

"the BOTTOM!"
