Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I’ve got a million things to be thankful for, and working for ESPN Cleveland is definitely near the top of the list. I get to do things I’d never even dreamed of everyday. In the spirit of being thankful, I’ve decided to write about the things I’m thankful for:
I’m thankful for Tony Rizzo and Aaron Goldhammer taking care of me like I’m family.
I’m thankful for Casey Kulas taking me out for a nice spaghetti day and basically teaching me how to get a job at ESPN Cleveland.
I’m thankful that Jason Gibbs lets me get away with joking about things like doing blow with Ron Washington and tying up a hot chick in studio on the air. You know me, keeping it classy.
I’m thankful that Chris Fedor isn’t as negative in life as he is about Cleveland sports. I still maintain he hates Cleveland though.
I’m thankful for Betsy’s Gametime: Hustler promos.
I’m thankful for Munch just being Munch.
I’m thankful for Emily always helping me and putting up with me yelling dirty things in the office.
Like Emily, I’m thankful for Betty letting me get away with my dirty sense of humor.
I’m thankful for Roda’s casting couch. Except for when Intern Chris is on it.
I’m thankful that Keith Williams hasn’t fired me, although I’ve probably given him cause a few times.
I'm thankful for my meetings every morning with TJ Zuppe about meetings.
I’m thankful that Pat escapes the everyday.
I’m thankful for my trips to Columbus with Will Burge. We now have enough dirt on each other that we’re forced to be friends, for better or worse (probably worse).
I’m thankful for Greg Brinda being cranky.
I’m thankful that Sabrina Parr continually says things that get her in trouble. It’s just hilarious to me.
I’m thankful that I’ve never crossed LeCharles Bentley and Je’Rod Cherry.
I’m thankful for Sam’s accessorizing. I don’t think I’ve ever walked by his office where he wasn’t wearing an Indians helmet or a Cavs foam finger.
I’m thankful for Bobby for giving me a job that is giving me gray hair at the age of 24.
I’m thankful for Nathan good-gaming me every time he passes by.
I’m thankful for Dave Denatale just being awesome.
I’m thankful that Steve doesn’t explode at me even though I interrupt his work about 100 times a day.
I’m thankful that Chris brings to light the fact that Nightmare on Elm Street is more realistic than Pretty Woman.
I’m thankful for Michael Reghi putting trick bag punks in check.
Like the rest of you, I’ve got plenty more to be thankful for, but there’s nothing quite like working at ESPN Cleveland. Enjoy your turkey!
