Page vii Introduction by Tom McEachin Six hours before Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals tipped off, I was speaking about sportswriting to a journalism class at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. The Utah Jazz were the hot topic of conversation that day, but there also was a great deal of interest both in this book and in Hot Rod Hundley. When asked to share my favorite story about the Jazz broadcaster, it was hard to come up with just one. There was the prank on Howard Cosell to consider, anecdotes about colorful characters like "Baby Ray" Felix, and the yarns about working for Jack Kent Cooke. (Former employees would say, "I refuse to work for a man who talks to me that way." What did he say? "You're fired.") You can't narrow it to just one story.
