I caught the first few minutes of the final Mike O’Meara Show broadcast on WJFK on Friday. You can listen to it here on WJFK’s Web site (for now at least). Funny clips to start it off, who knew he was a venerable old Jedi?

According to DCRTV, there will be a pre-recorded Mike O’Meara Show farewell message aired at 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. today. “Best of” repeats the rest of the time apparently. Hopefully, WJFK will archive the podcast into next week. I’ll link to it if I can.

WJFK adopts sports talk – The Wash.

The Caps head are in Philly for tonight’s game 3 against the Flyers. After coming off of a loss on Sunday, I expect Bruce Boudreau to have the Caps focused and playing as a team again. This team hasn’t gotten down for long and I don’t expect them change anything about that now. I [...]

Don Geronimo makes his return to the Don & Mike Show for one final show today at 3 p.m. on WJFK and dozens of radio stations nationwide. He is retiring (early) after over 20 years on the show with Mike O’Meara. I expect him to name names and overall be very, very bitter and selfish, [...]
