Thanks, Pat. Yeah, I remember doing a piece in Florida for ESPN 2 in its infancy back in 1995. Their sartorial standards were not so strict. Then I got a call from the mothership, ESPN, and they wanted a piece for SportsCenter while I was down there. I had to run to a nearby J.C. Penney's to buy a blazer, shirt, and tie. How things have changed.
Nice piece and you gotta love the trench coat. Reporters today are seen in shorts, jeans, no tie….
