I guess it's time we dust off our perch as Oklahoma City's go-to source for local sports radio news – a beat we used to cover with the vigor and gusto of Al Eschbach enjoying beer and radishes at a Thai brothel, but now mail-in like Regular Jim Traber waiting for a fresh pepperoni pizza at the Mazzio's buffet.
Last week, Dusty Dvoracek – an articulate, sweaty and incredibly sensitive former resident of the Phoenix area – announced on Twitter that he's leaving WWLS The Sports Animal. The move came as a surprise to people over the age of 40 who still regularly tune into local sports radio.
Here's his tweet about the news:
Dusty apparently spent the next few days on the radio vaguely talking about his decision with his listeners. I would tell you what he said, but that would have involved listening to The Sports Animal with my two-year-old daughter during my Christmas week vacation. Sorry, but no thank you. We really need Mel Bracht to return to the OKC media sports media beat to do all the dirty work for us.
