Not Really Goodbye: I Bid Farewell To Sports And Finally Get That 1994 Postgame Interview 온라인카지노

For the beyond 27 years, I've covered sports for the Times-News, and beginning Monday, my games days will be over as I progress to my new job as news manager.

It's been an extraordinary ride, and everything began for me as a games stringer for sports editorial manager Bob Dalton back in the fall of 1994 at a secondary school football match-up where I neglected to do a postgame interview with the greatest star of the evening. Being the low man on the chain of command, Bob sent me to cover a football match-up that on paper didn't appear to be significant. It was winless North Henderson, 0-8, facilitating Chase (4-5) in a game late in the season that seemed as though it wouldn't be that enormous of an arrangement.

In any case, kid was it.

My lead was: "North Henderson's Brian Lyda wouldn't acknowledge a loss in the last home round of his secondary school profession." I had thought of that on the drive back to the paper after Lyda had scrambled for a vocation best 339 yards and had three scores to lift North, which opened in the fall of 1994, to its very first football win. After I hammered out a fast 11-inch story with quotes from mentor Mac Cumbo, I hollered over to Bob that it was prepared.

"Hello Ron, come investigate Dean's lead," he said, conversing with then prep sports author Ron Wagner.

"Nailed it," Ron said.

Weave continued to peruse, as I sat at his work area pausing. Then, at that point, he halted and glared over at me.

"You mean to let me know a person runs for north of 300 yards and gets the school's first success and you simply conversed with the mentor?" Bob said.

It was a major new kid on the block misstep and one I wouldn't make once more.

On Thursday, as I was dealing with this segment, I tracked down Brian Lyda on Facebook. I figured it merited a shot, and I connected with him. We reconnected, and, surprisingly, however it's almost thirty years late, I at long last got that postgame interview I ignored in 1994.

"It was an insane evening. I was broken down," Lyda said. "I recall James Short, who is my cousin, coming dependent upon me at halftime and saying, 'hello man, you're similar to 30 yards from breaking 200 yards for the game.'"
