Sean Brace Interviews Kacie McDonnell, She's Still in Kansas City

Former 97.5 The Fanatic host Sean Brace interviews Kacie McDonnell. She of course was the one time morning traffic reporter (and much more) for FOX 29's Good Day. Kacie bolted to Kansas City at the height of her popularity in Philly to follow her then boyfriend (Georgia Bulldog quarterback) Aaron Murray who was drafted into the NFL by the Kansas City Chiefs. Well following their breakup, Kacie remained in Kansas City and gives her fans a career update. By the way Kacie is now dating Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer.

Keith Olbermann Sums Up the Arrogance of New Yorkers

I am not generally a fan of Mr. Olbermann because he comes off as arrogant himself. But he nails it and sums up my general feeling of our neighbors to the north in New York City. The insulting way New Yorkers think and their belief that they are better, smarter, or more important than anyone outside of New York makes me ill. It's one reason I don't trust the owner of our basketball team the Philadelphia 76ers, one Joshua Harris. One day it could be the Newark New Jersey Sixers. He does own the New Jersey Devils hockey team too. But that's a story for another day. The bottom line is this: Soccer will never be a popular sport among Americans no matter what the New York Times says. Any sport that ends with a tie and everyone is OK with it, is a sport that's not for me. My apologies to the Sons of Ben and fans of the Philadelphia Union. Your stadium in Chester is awesome.

By the way Tony Bruno of 97.5 The Fanatic makes a regular Friday appearance on the Keith Olbermann show. So all in all Mr. Olbermann can't be all bad. Tony's take on the DeSean Jackson situation with the Philadelphia Eagles from a few weeks ago is spot on. See both videos below.

Sheinelle Jones Says Goodbye to ‘Good Day Philadelphia’

Sheinelle Jones tearfully bids farewell to FOX 29 and her co-anchor, Mike Jerrick, on “Good Day Philadelphia.” Sheinelle is signing off to spend more time with her family. I am a big fan of Sheinelle, Mike, Sue Serio, and Kacie McDonnell. They simply had great chemistry.

Steve Keeley Survival of Snow Plow Attack on Good Day Goes Viral

Fox 29 reporter Steve Keeley has became a viral sensation following the snow plow train  "attack" along a route in Woodstown, N.J. Keeley was unexpectedly hit with an avalanche of snow, but was no worse for wear and continued with the report as if nothing happened at all. Keeley also became a part of David Letterman's Top 10 List. That list featured in the third video of this post was disappointingly not funny. Good pub for Steve and the station anyway.

Mike Missanelli Returns to 97.5 The Fanatic, Will @Deadspin Retract the Story?

Mike Missanelli gave a statement today on the air on his suspension after being off the air for a week. He addresses why he was absent and apologizes for anyone who may have been offended. He also gave a history of the listener (troll) that has been harassing him with thousands of emails for four of the five years that he has been part of 97.5 The Fanatic. He categorically denied that he is homophobic.

Missanelli went on to say that the listener communicated with him that it would be impossible for authorities to find out the emailer's identity; who refers to himself  as "The Rock" (because he resembles the actor and wrestler). He regrets the perception that the emails that were sent to the Deadspin website implied that he was homophobic. He also stated that he would no longer communicate with listener's through email following this experience.
