Am I right or what Paul?

 

[Paul Wozniak]

I'm sorry, I must have pressed the wrong key earlier. You and Charper win. As soon as i find a job, I'll take you guys to a Lion's game. OK, I know you're protected by the Constitution from "cruel and unusual" punishement, so you guys don't HAVE to go.

Who was the first anchor on air that you saw on ESPN?(This question can have a lot of answers)


--My cable company didn't have ESPN when it first came out so the first person I saw was Tom Mees. I really liked him, he was the best Hockey announcer I ever heard.

Mees was very good at both anchor and hockey play-by-play. It was tragic how he died.

I believe the first anchor I ever saw on ESPN (1982) was George Grande or Greg Gumbel.

We subbed to cable in 1979. Right before or after ESPN went live. The first guy I saw on ESPN was George Grande.

I was born in 1981, so I would have to say my first memories of ESPN included anchors of the following: Chris Berman, Linda Cohn, Bob Ley, Chris Fowler, Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann. Not sure of the first, but I seem to recall all of the above scattered throughout my childhood of growing up with ESPN.
