FDH Lounge Show #20: November 11, 2007

By Rick Morris

The Great American Radio Show on Internet television has turned 20! 20 episodes, that is. The program where nothing is off-topic will bring you another sampling of various intriguing content across the board this Sunday night from 8-11 PM EDT on SportsTalkNetwork.com.

For the first time in our history, we will have a segment airing ahead of the Opening Statements of The FDH Lounge Dignitaries. At 8 PM EDT we will feature a roundtable commemorating the 10th anniversary of the WWE's "Montreal Screwjob" with Russ Cohen of the Wrestleology website and wrestling historians Stephen Laroche and SLAM! Wrestling editor Jon Waldman. After that, we will move on to the Opening Statements and then another presidential race roundtable with the Dignitaries. The contest has taken on many wrinkles since we last convened on the subject (Hillary's debate debacle and the pouncing of her rivals, Romney's growing endorsement list, Brownback's McCain endorsement, Rudy's Robertson endorsement, the Bernie Kerik legal problems, the legal problems of one of Fred Thompson's advisers, etc.).

This segment will proceed into Hour Two for an update on the young hockey season with NHL.com editor John Kreiser. Among other topics, we'll delve into the huge January 1 outdoor game to be contested between Pittsburgh and Buffalo on NBC. After that, we give way to another wonderful FDH Lounge News Nuggets feature. Dog The Bounty Hunter and the Joe Torre migration to L.A. are fair game for the Dignitaries.

In Hour Three, we examine the trend in the niche sports world of recent years involving the addition of playoffs to compete with the NFL and World Series for attention in autumn. NASCAR has held its Chase since 2004 and this year the PGA and NHRA followed suit. What are the pluses and minuses of these developments? We will scrutinize this with new FDH NHRA correspondent Jeff Weber. Then our FDH Lounge Pigskin Report recaps another weekend of college and NFL action.

Join us for all the fun of our 20th show Sunday night! If you want to weigh in and mingle with The Dignitaries, you can call in at 216-881-9600 or toll free nationally and internationally at 866-453-4782 or you can email us at studio@sportstalkcleveland.com .
