But football was Bob's great love and as fate would have it, he entered the radio booth at WPAG in 1945 and began a colorful career that spanned 5 decades. He soon initiated a new style of broadcasting: partisan hysterics. The booth was filled with screams, sighs, rage, cheerleading and horn honking.
