May 10th, marked the fifth annual WFUV Gala. The event took place in New York City at Gotham Hall.
Al Michaels, this year's winner of the Vin Scully Lifetime Achievement Award in Sports Broadcasting, was unable to attend and asked Bob Costas to accept the award on his behalf.
Bob was kind enough to sit down with me and discuss Al, WFUV, and what becoming a broadcaster today is all about.
Last Thursday night WFUV’s annual Gala honored one of the greats in the sports broadcasting industry as Al Michaels received the Vin Scully Lifetime Achievement Award. Michaels joins Scully, Dick Enberg, Ernie Harwell, and Pat Summerall in the exclusive club.

CBSSports.com Senior NFL Writer Clark Judge joined Alex and Kyle on One on One to talk about Tebow-mania in New York, Peyton Manning in Denver, and bounty-gate in New Orleans. Click below to listen.
After a brief contractual impasse, there is a new quarterback in New York.
The Jets officially acquired Tim Tebow late Wednesday night. The highly polarizing player sometimes draws criticism for his unorthodox style, and other times admiration for his off the field persona and unlikely victories in the clutch. But with sports retail stores like Modells already stocking up on Tebow merchandise, his trade could mean more than just another new face on the Jets’ sideline.

It was déjà vu all over again at Lucas Oil Stadium after the New York football Giants defeated the New England Patriots for the second time in the past four championship games. Eli Manning played a nearly flawless game going 30-40 for 296 yards and a touchdown en route to his second super bowl MVP. Naturally, Manning orchestrated yet another fourth quarter comeback drive for the ages; this time with Mario Manningham as the hero after making a 38 yard David Tyree-esq catch to begin the drive. John DeMarzo was on location, and you can hear his comments in his Super Bowl XLVI piece.
Ricky Cibrano, Mike Giandomenico and Colin Henderson review the New York Giant's victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. The guys also talk to Chris Hilk and Stephen Gray about the Giant's celebration parade. They also talk to John DeMarzo about his experience covering the Super Bowl in Indianapolis.

Even for those who do not breathlessly follow every happening in Hollywood, the quartet of ceremonies --- Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, and Tonys --- always attracts casual fans, just to see what movies, songs, television programs and Broadway shows that they’ve seen or heard over the past year take home honors. I must confess that I am one of these casual fans, except when it comes to the Grammys; being a lover of music, I usually know all of the songs or albums nominated for the prestigious award.
With NFL Friday and the season coming to a close, there was no shortage of star power in the Super Bowl Edition of the show.
Ricky and I had a cavalcade of guests, starting off with Steve Gray’s weekly Giants report. Steve broke down the matchups as he has been doing all season long, including the Giants keys to victory, as well as his prediction.
