The Gameplan: Recent Episodes
Anthony Herron aka “Big Ant”
The Gameplan will be a show geared towards increasing your intricate sports knowledge. My background as a player in both major college and professional football gives me the perspective of what life is like between the lines for athletes. My immediate success as a coach and broadcaster has been because of a detailed understanding of the game and an ability to communicate this understanding to those around me while engaging them.
The show will contain facts, opinions, and stories from my deeply entrenched experiences in life, sports, and entertainment. We’ll mainly cover football but will veer towards other sports when significant stories take place. Talk of pop culture events will also be infused as stories from tv, movies, and music often relate to the top sports news of the day.
Your participation is STRONGLY encouraged by phone and email. There will be weekly segments and even occasional skits to look forward to.
The program will start with a description of me as the host and my background in sports and broadcasting. This will be the most detailed time that I’ll get into a self description because it’s the first time the audience will get to meet me on the air. Once I’ve talked about myself for a little while I’ll get into my thoughts on where things stand at that point in the NFL season.
Later in the show I’ll be joined by Matt Bowen. He’s a former college teammate of mine that played in the NFL and is now a writer for the Chicago Sun-Times and a website called the National Football Post. Matt will be a regular part of the show as a guest commentator with expert knowledge and experience about football in general and especially in the NFC.
I’ll finish the show with some closing thoughts and storylines. I’ll also make some predictions on the upcoming action that weekend.
