He's probably a Rangers fan.

From Drew's Bio
quote:

Drew Shirley is the evening sports anchor at KPLC. He is, without a doubt, the greatest sportscaster in the history of the world. Also, he's quite humble. Drew joined KPLC in July 2012 after spending some time out of the TV business paying life insurance bills, making dental appointments, and arguing for a living. That didn't take, so Drew is back to doing what he loves: talking about himself in the third person.

Historically we have had terrible sportscasters at KPLC.... But I became a fan of Drew when he on air explained why he is a sports fan just before the Olympics started and began to tear up & get emotional. Mad props and welcome


Thanks a lot. I'm normally kind of a cynical bastard but Derek Redmond gets to me.

Unfortunately, our video encoder thing wasn't working that night so there's no video of it.

You must have elephantiasis thick skin to not have killed yourself after the O-T experience. You obviously already know this, but if you hang around here long enough, people will warm up to you. BTW, I find your sense of humor entertaining.

Hey Drew, have you been over to the McNeese forum?

I'll give Drew a little credit.

He's probably the more interesting sportscaster KPLC has had in a long time.

Guilbeau had the rogue assistant AD before he got shipped off to the gulag. That was funny. But yeah, he shouldn't stir the pot the way he does.

Kleinpeter is generally well-respected and I do not believe he would say that Miles confirmed the meeting if Miles didn't. So who knows.

I'm getting to the point where I don't want to say anything unless I see TM with my own eyes.


You may rock here.

Here's what I know as of 4pm Central Wednesday:

TM is not at McNeese practice.

TM is not registered at McNeese as a student.

Late registration ends tomorrow, although that is not an absolute deadline.

Nicholls has permission to speak with TM.

Also, I feel fairly confident that:

AP says 20 schools have requested permission to talk to TM, permission granted to McNeese and Nicholls, unsure if any others.

AP says Nicholls has not spoken with TM.

Coming up next:

At 5pm we will ask McNeese coach if he has had any further discussions with TM and if he offered TM a spot on team. Most likely a lot of no comments, but who knows.

Giant cluster, start to finish.

I promise if TM7 were to get registered at McNeese the second he went on to a moodle roster, everybody at the damn school is going to know about it.

Wish I could have some classes with the guy, but I don't think he can get into any of mine.

Drew, you gained my respect when you addressed viewers after week one to let them know if they don't like your fun, non-traditional approach to sports reporting, feel to exercise your right to change the channel. That was ballsy.


Thanks!
