Pete Franklin didn't sound like this. This recording is wayyyy too slow.

Aside to fawyu3...Pete Franklin was never fired by any Cleveland radio station. Kindly observe the "dead man rule" and refrain from rumors about someone no longer able to defend himself. Pete left WERE-AM because they refused to let him do Sportsline. He left WWWE-AM for WFAN in New York. He is easily the greatest sports talker ever, and pretty much invented the genre.

On the "Public Square" segment which followed the newscast, the host presented a plug for a book called "The Dream Makers," the authors of which were being interviewed. I'm going to borrow it from the library--it looks as though it might be interesting.

"Pigskin Pete" was simply the best sportscaster ever in Cleveland. His Sportsline radio show on WWWE was ahead of its time. I can still see Pete doing his show at the Richfield Coliseum after a Cavaliers NBA game. He loved Austin Carr and Bobby "Bingo" Smith!

Pete Franklin was a worthless blabbermouth who was once fired for giving Sudden Sam McDowell a blowjob in the Indians clubhouse before an Indians game.

They broke the mold with Pete Franklin. Best ever in Cleveland...shit, I've never heard ANYONE as good as him.EVER!

I wish you would have had some Tribe talk. I never cared for basketball and this talk is almost all hoops talk.

When I was still a little kid, I used to laugh my head off at this man. WFAN fired him beacause they didn't like unknown loose cannons with questionable ratings for the advertisers taking over their station.
OUR LOSER OF THE DAY today is WFAN owners and producers.
OUR WINNER OF THE DAY today is MANSHOTS!
Peter J. Franklin - the Best sports Broadcaster ever on WFAN in New York City. Better than Mike and The Mad Dog, Joe Viningo, Richard Kneer Chris Carlin etc. WFAN dumped him because they didn't like his criticism of Don Imus their cash cow whom he never thought was a racist but a sports dumbbell which he proved several months ago with "nappy headed hoes" comment.
