Great job by great official and great guy...one of the NBA's best
Got the chance of a lifetime working a summer league here in Duluth with him.
a year late but this is a great podcast concept
Absolutely the worst at sports play by play Announcer. One, could not keep up with the action. Confused down and distance. He had no inflection, no energy, no excitement.He got the Gopher job because WCCO had no one after Ray Christensen retired. They gave him the job and he butchered the broadcast.
So proud! My nephew!!!
Associate AD? Sounds like he should be THE Athletic Director.
The man damn near almost played a decade with us and in this 27 minute vidoe is the most any of us heard him talk. I love it
Nice content💝💖💘💥
There are excellent women reporters but it is not okay for them to do interviews in the locker rooms while the players change clothes or walk around naked, it is invasive, it is abusive and it is indecent. The NFL's open locker room policy must change, it is anachronistic and does not respect the athletes' right to privacy.
Marcus sherales one of the best Viking ever
Great interview. Tom is the best and will miss him when he retires someday.
Tom is a class act and a great story teller!
Nice your video❤
Promo-SM 😎
Fantastic gentlemen to work fo.! Congratulations on you retirement!
The black life
It is not pronounced LaCroy it's lakrwa. I'm only here because I have the same name as this guy and everyone in America says it wrong. Including the people who have this name. It's French be proud of your heritage and culture.
How r u?.Like,awesome traveler.godspeed.
Excellent interview. Brooks is a class act!
Nice job by all!! Really enjoyed your style and thoughtfulness to each question. Wish you all continued success.
Really great interview!
Caleb Truax is a solid dude. 🥊👍👏 #BRAVO
He kinda looks like Liberace.
Hearing him mention Bruce Springsteen brought back memories of seeing The High Flyers in Milwaukee at either the Auditorium or Arena in the late 70s and early 80s and Jim Brunzell always wore a Bruce Springsteen tour jacket to the ring, one of those great satin jackets popular during those years.
Great show.
What a great interview! Loved the High Flyers. Saw them in person a number of times. Miss AWA type wrestling compared to what they are doing today.
Patrick Klinger is not wearing any socks!
Hi
Cool interview. Still the best dropkick in history, in my opinion.
When I they started talking all I heard was "Daa Bearsss"!
Best drop kick in the business
Brunzell was and is always a class act
A class act. Jim didn't even say who the two guys were that were tough to wrestle with. I followed his career right from the beginning.
Awesome interview
Jim-uh Bruzella, da great hi flya from uh da Minnesoda.
He looks like one of the Bill Brasky characters from SNL. You know, back when SNL was somewhat watchable.
Great to see Jimmy B met him about 35 years ago when I started wrestling. He asked me what I'd been doing for a living I told him he said stick with it your to nice for this business. He was probably right but stuck with it for 25 years. I said the way I look at it the cream always rises to the top... he said is that what you think? I said yes ... he said well so does the SCUM! He was so right!! Wrestling draws the lowest form of life in the food chain ... told me the same story about 85k being his biggest year asked Verne for a raise he said no and it was of to WWF and the Killer Bees .... I believe he said he got 250k! Glad your doing good Jimmy GOD BLESS!
Love hearing Jim talk.
Great interview with an outstanding representative of pro-wrestling!
Thank you!
Was he the gay ump? Oh wait that was Dale Scott.
What difference does it make whether an umpire is gay or not?
That’s what you fantasize about?
Good interview, but with pretty much anybody who spent decades working with complete flakes and characters, 29 minutes isn't enough time to get to much. Still, thanks much for posting. :D
