Yesterday, News 9 sent bulldog reporter Steve Shaw to Lake El Reno for a live report on concerns that blue algae may shut down this weekend's "Smoke On The Water" drag boat races. They sent Steve because:
A) He's a cold-blooded, All-American everyman who likes his news hot and his Fireball hotter. Seriously, is there a more perfect reporter to cover Oklahoma lakes, algae and drag boats races than Steve Shaw? If you were allowed to pick one non-female media personality to take to Lake Tenkiller for a rowdy party weekend, Steve would be the top choice. Not only does he probably own a 1997 Kawsaki jet ski and giant titanium ice chest that can hold 48 Coronas, six limes and even a pint of mustard potato salad from the Buy For Less deli, but he'd also entertain you with stories about the single ladies he met the weekend before at Russell's.
