Tuesday on Newsmakers Week: David Rousseau, Bryan Sperber, Lon Babby and Ray Anderson
Every day of Newsmakers Week, the major decision makers of our community answer our questions. It takes an incredible time commitment from our teams and events to come to our studios but it makes the interviews much more conversational. I think conversations give you, the listener, more content and, hopefully, more entertainment. The questions don’t […]9 years ago

Why is there a trade deadline in the NFL?
It’s hard to be an NFL quarterback. It’s even harder to be a third-string quarterback and start against the Seattle Seahawks.
