| I can remember back as a kid listening to a football game between Notre Dame and SMU. He played up the idea of the Catholics playing the non-Catholics. A great voice and he could really tell a tale as I am sure the new shows will display. He also coined 'the rest of the story' before Paul Harvey. I will be listening to these shows and thanks for providing them. |

I can remember many happy times spent with my Dad, on the way to the hardware store, listening to "The Rest Of The Story". It was something we both enjoyed.

I really wouldn't put too much faith in Bill Stern's startling anecdotes about sports, but he has such a great radio voice that I love to listen to him.
Try him and I think you'll feel the same way. _________________ tuned in from down under |

| Mike Hobart: I agree about placing too much stock in some of the stories Bill Stern gave. But, you have to admit, he made them interesting (a little exaggerated for sure). |
