Don't Let the Door Hit You
Radio sports talk host Kevin Wheeler set new standards for entertainment, style, content and civility. What did he get from his employers at Christmas bonus time? They beat him like a red-headed stepson. Now that he has been shown the door at Sporting News Radio, let's hope he'll be noticed by XM Radio's MLB morning show and replace Larry Bowa, who leaves to become the new third base coach for the Yankees. Hopefully, someone will notice the 5-foot-7 sports prognosticator before spring so he won't have to accept work as a garden gnome.
