    He was thinking you have a face for radio.

    EDIT: Sly beat me to it. It must be true!

    He should be, but he's really getting up there in years. I would perhaps expect him to call home games with Rice, since they used to work together, and put Tone on the TV broadcasts with Barrett.

    Methinks you forgot about Pete Pranica.

    Pranica didn't do radio, did he? If he did, I TOTALLY blacked out on that.

    Eddie did radio before moving to TV... it was nutty because of Eddies overuse of metaphor and similies ("the old Ross Perot, in and out and back in again."). My dad once said, "I wasn't listening to a basketball game because there were circus bears and politicians and cowboys and aliens and all sorts of crap on the court instead!"

    Didn't they bring in Doucette when Shonz moved to TV? And then, when Shonz retired, didn't they move Eddie to TV? It's been a while, so I really don't remember.

    Schonz left radio, and Eddie Doucette took over for a season on radio but then Schonz returned and Doucette went to TV with Steve Jones.

    I LOVED Eddie Doucette. "Rod Strickland steals the ball! HE'S GONNA LAY IT IN! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

    Wheels, I remember that time you and I strolled through pioneer square. You kept talking about my sheer awesomeness. I will never forget that day.

    Anyway, get well brother

    Wow, it will be very strange to listen to a Radio broadcast of TV announcers. They don't call play by play on TV... it seems like that would be very weird.

    Heard a clip of Wheels on the radio this morning saying his illness is nothing life threatening more something that is just annoying.
