Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone…
Well, the word’s officially out. Our little China Doll, Sara Walsh is officially leaving for greener pastures. In the 3 years I’ve worked with Sara, she’s become like a little sister to me. If anyone has seen the movie “Anchorman”, Sara’s life the past 3 years has mirrored Veronica Corningstone…with me playing the role of Brian Fontana, Dwyer as Ron Bergandy, and Cory as Brick Tamland. The only thing missing would be a bottle of “Sex Panther” - it’s made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good.”
Losing Sara is tough, but it’s a great move for her and I know she’s going to be a star in DC. It wouldn’t surprise me to see her on Monday Night Football in a few years.
As for me…I’m also moving on. It’s been a great 8 year run here at the duece. I’ll be around until the end of July, so you’ll still see me on Sports Extra occasionally. It was a tough decision, but I’m at the stage of my life where if I don’t accomplish the goals that I’ve set for myself, they probably will never be accomplished. The one thing I’ve learned in my 34 years on this planet is, anything worth doing is complicated. I’m a little nervous about taking this jump, but I honestly think I’ll look back on it and have no regrets. It’s been an honor to work with John Dwyer, John Boruk, Mike Hill, Steve McDonald, Tom Oates, Cal Baxter, Cory Curtis, Sara Walsh, and the guy that hired me here back in 1998 Matthew Zelkind. I don’t want to turn this into an obit, because I’m still on board for a least a month…So we’ll save the final farewells for then.

Sports Televison in Nashville will greatly miss the contributions from Sara, John and especially Tim. You all will be missed but I know I will be seeing a lot of Tim. John, sorry I don’t get up that early. Finally, Sara, is there something to the DC thing… like Cal? The secert is out. You all have set the bar for sports journalism.

Timmy… it’s far from an obit for either you or Sara. In fact, this is just the beginning of great things. We all have to get together soon… and I know there will be at least one big party coming up. I feel lucky to have been a frequent visitor on “the farewell tour”.

Oh man… sucks to hear you’re leaving. Oh well, that ends the ‘reign’ of the 3 greatest Sports Extra control room guys ever. Officially, the director guy is gone… the TD/Chyron guy is gone… now, the producer guy is gone! That show will never be as much fun as it was for us in the booth!
Good luck, Timmy.
