Cianciola back on the radio
That's right, Phil Cianciola was back on the radio for the first time since being fired back in September, making an appearance on the WSSP Sportstalk 1250 airwaves at the station's annual toy drive for Childrens Hospital. You can hear some of that along with an interview with Doug Russell, Phil's former producer who now does the morning show there. Also on today's showgrum, Phil has a rather unique observation about Tiger Woods after playing the infamous voicemail Tiger left for his girlfriend. Then flash back to 1987 and the Brewers' 13-game win streak. Phil plays a clip from TV back then featuring Johnny Brandmeier, one of his radio idols, now also on the sidelines after being fired this week.
