This is what you missed on the Tuesday edition of the Bloomdaddy Experience:

     Tiger Woods does it again.  Just as Gene from Martins Ferry was ready to pop the cork on a Tiger collapse…The Great One pulls out another win in a major….proving once again he is the greatest closer in golf history.  In other sports news, I commented on the firing of the Mets Willie Randolph (unjustified) and the Yankees Hank Steinbrenner ranting about the National League getting in the 21^st century by adopting a DH.  This after his pitcher is injured running the bases.  Hey, if a grown man who is a professional athlete can’t run around the bases without getting hurt…then he shouldn’t be playing and making 20 million a year doing it.  Injuries happen…but we cant baby pitchers to the point where we carry them off the mound between innings for fear their going to pull a groin.  Give me a break.

     We also talked about he anniversaries of the white Bronco chase involving O.J. and the Watergate Scandal.  Gay marriage (who cares) and crop devastation in Iowa (food prices going up again….over 10 percent already..biggest rise in 82 years) and Tim Russert passing away.

     The two big topics was an Oregon school teacher who banned the Pledge of Allegiance out of respect for different religions….(she should be fired…the Pledge is un-offensive and honors those of all races and religious backrounds who helped build this great nation) and a press release by a local attorney chastising Belmont County Sheriff Fred Thompson for his handling of the Lenae Coyne lawsuit against him.

This is what you missed on the Tuesday edition of the Bloomdaddy Experience:

     Belmont County Sheriff Fred Thompson is getting sued again.  He along with Belmont County Jail Administrator Alan Porter are named in a suit filed June 6^th at 2:08 pm in Columbus.  The plaintiff is a former deputy named Lenae Coyne, who says she was not given proper time off, proper support to run the jail properly and was fired shortly after complaining about these allegations.  It is a sexual discrimination lawsuit.

     We talked about “travel teams” in the Ohio Valley and are they good or bad.  I say they shouldn’t be allowed to compete in local tournaments because they have a huge advantage.  These teams collect the best players from all over the valley and start practicing together in January.  They play in these local tournaments against teams comprised of all-stars from just that community who are thrown together and only get to practice maybe 3 or 4 times.  If you have a travel team…go play in tournaments with other travel teams and quit playing against teams you should beat.  What fun is that.

     I also announced our prize package for the 2^nd Annual Bloomdaddy Experience Redneck Games scheduled for July 16^th, 7am in front of the main gate at Jambo.  The event will be broadcast “live” on 1170 WWVA.  Starting next week, I’ll start registering listeners…4 men and 4 women….and then we will allow 2 “walk-ups” the day of the event.  2^nd and 3^rd place finishers get amusement park ticktets….while 1^st place will receive two four day passes to the 2009 Jamboree in the Hills. 

This is what you missed on the Thursday edition of the Bloomdaddy Experience:

     We had an interview with Michael Lvensohn of the Times Herald Record of  New York about a potential water park coming into Belmont County.  The park is not coming because the two people heading up GOOcean Water Park and Resort are Liliana Trafficante, a manhattan woman called a scam artist by some…and Belmont County native Mike Riley, a two time felon according to the Times Herald.  Riley tried to get Trafficante to buy property in Belmont County for $8 million dollars, property that’s only worth between $100,000 and $1 million.  Either way…the park is a pipe dream.

     We talked about bio fuels and ethanol and why the cultivation and use of these fuels is more damaging to the environment than emission from oil.   Also, how in the world do we build a space station a gazillion miles about the earths surface and only put in one toilet, Robert Kennedy was assassinated on this day and AIDS was discovered on this day by the CDC in Atlanta. 

     Prominent alumni are calling for WVU President Mike Garrisons resignation, what are the top 10 childhood milestones and a 16 year old is going to sail around the world.   I wouldn’t even let my 16 year old stay out past 11pm….let alone sail around the world.  See ya.

On the Wednesday edition of the Bloomdaddy Experience:

     Mayor elect Andy McKenzie was in the studio answering questions about an article in the Wheeling Intelligencer that pretty much insinuated that once he becomes mayor, heads are going to roll.  Andy didn’t deny making the comments, but says they were somewhat taken out of context to make it seem much worse than it really was.  I asked him directly if he was happy with City Manager Bob Herron’s abilities…and Andy said he is 100 percent behind Bob….right now.  You read between the lines.  I also spoke with John McCabe, managing editor of the newspaper..and he stated to me he backs Casey Junkins article 100 percent.

     We talked about a day that will live in infamy…a day that happened on this date back in 1974.  It was 10 cent beer night at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.  In the ninth inning, drunk fans attacked players…and both teams took to the field wielding bats in defense of themselves.  Lets just say this wasn’t the best idea in sports history.   Also on the show, how far would you go for free gas (would you French kiss your mom), political papparrazzi and we gave away another Sunday ticket to jamboree in the hills.
