Roger has far worse issues than just a stutter. He does make the Sports Animal harder to listen to, as if it wasn't hard enough just listening to DJ&H cackle or Vinny Ferarra say "Also, too, as well" in just about every freaking sentence. I feel for Roger. I had a conversation with Will West about him one day at a remote. Calling those shows is the highlight of his day.

Roger is a bonafied local celebrity at this point.

From TOS, was sent to me in a text message.

I have no actual evidence that this is true or if it's already been posted, but it sounds cool.

A deal is on the table, agreed upon in principle by both parties, an 8 year contract worth $ 54 million.

The Haslam family has also chipped in an ownership
share of the Cleveland Browns for Gruden, the Browns of course, being the newest Haslam family business venture.

Gruden is waiting out his Tampa Bay buyout payments, which conclude in early December.

Gruden is assembling a top shelf staff, including Raheem Morris. His staff will firm him up on NCAA rules, recruiting, and the like.

Gruden and Dooley are close. Gruden has made it clear he wanted some "buffer" between his announcement and Dooley's firing, to avoid further embarrassment to Dooley.

The big money (and I mean big money) donors and boosters have instructed Dave Hart to back up the Wells Fargo truck to Gruden's house and make this happen.

The issue of "control" is being used as a smokescreen. Gruden will have football program say-so over any and every thing he wishes, short of any academic regulations or NCAA rules violations. Carte Blanche.

Yes, Gruden has it made at ESPN, but is itching to get back on the sidelines. The only college job he is even considering is Tennessee. He quickly thanks but no thanksed Arkansas (notice he has not done this to Tennessee).

Johnny Majors and Peyton Manning have aggressively lobbied Gruden to take the job.

There is a University of Dayton (Gruden's alma mater) annual alumni event this Saturday. Gruden has spoken at this event every year for the last 9 years. He has cancelled this year with a vague "scheduling conflict" excuse. His replacement speaker, Chuck Noll, let slip that "I guess Jon will be in Knoxville
next weekend..."

Not at all. I just happen to know him personally and take offense for someone to dis people with handicaps when they know nothing about them.

People like Roger had no choice in being the way they are, and I might add, is incapable of defending himself.

I saw the mod had to remind posters that kids were off limits. I would think handicapped people would be also.

And it is pretty apparent that Roger is a VFL

Yeah, an I'm not piling up on you for making a joke about him, either. I rarely listen to WNML anymore thanks to TSR, but when did I would have to turn my radio off during Roger calls. Nothing against him, there are worse callers for sure.
