Back in the ESPN Broadcast Booth after 5 broken ribs, separated shoulder and a concussion with Kirk McCarley
from Good to be Alive! Show · host Tim Long
Our ESPN friend Kirk McCarley is back on the Show to spin some more sports yarn after getting run over by a truck. Okay, hit by a truck, but what's the difference when it's a truck vs. bike. As a result, Kirk is recovering from 5 broken ribs, a separated shoulder and a concussion. Today we'll hear a story of forgiveness and healing with a positive attitude. You often times hear Kirk say he's blessed. You'll hear that today. We're blessed to have Kirk on the Show so soon after the wreck talking Bum Phillips, burning albums on a baseball field and parachuting into a scoreboard. Phillips was fired on New Year's Eve 1980 by Oilers owner Bud Adams. The 1980 Oilers, at times, had trouble scoring and Phillips refused to hire an offensive coordinator. "I didn't feel like we needed it", he said. At the time his 11 wins that season were the most wins in a season of a coach who would then be fired.Video of interview --> https://rumble.com/v79bc12-back-in-the-espn-broadcast-booth-after-5-broken-ribs-separated-shoulder-and.htmlSend the Show a text...we'd love to connect with you!
