It’s been a rough day for makers of styling mousse, SmartOnes™, and Flomax.
Yesterday afternoon, legendary Oklahoma athlete, coed chaser, and on-air urinator Dean “The Stream” Blevins announced that after 42 years of handsomely reading a teleprompter, he will be retiring as News 9’s sports director later this year, ending a nearly half-century reign atop the OKC metro sports broadcasting scene.
Yep, that’s correct. Lower the flags at Interurban and grab an intern’s ass—Dean Blevins is hanging up the penny loafers!
If that bums you out, don’t despair. If you’re a fan of Dean and/or commercials for car dealerships, casinos, and men's health clinics, he’s keeping his daily sport with Jim and Al on The Sports Animal.
News 9 also announced that Dean will be replaced by his former backup sports anchor Toby Rowland.
