My segment on Fantasy Football

[Matt]

I know it isn't USF related but we just aired the first episode of The Plank last night.  it is a live streaming show about the Bucs on ABC Action News app/online.  The show is hosted by our two sports anchors (Tom Korun and John Sable) but some how I ended up doing a quick segment on fantasy football.  

 

Everyone's favorite reporter, Greg Auman, did a great job calling into the show and I think Greg will be a regular part of the show...as will my segment.

 

This was my first time ever being on camera and had to do this without a teleprompter or script so please be kind.  

 

I think it is a cool show idea that we put together though.  The majority of the show, which is what Tom and John do, is kinda like a Mike and Mike type format.  Fans call in and ask questions or voice opinions.  Because it is streaming over the web, it can be a little more raw than what you would see broadcast.  This was the first episode and there were some kinks but it could end up being really cool.

haha...the producer of the show took one look at my twitter name and said the same thing.  i never even thought about it.  it is my first initial and first 4 letters of my last name.  ive had the twitter name for years and never really used it for much.  i should probably think of something better.

and no that wasn't live (my segment is taped because the show is live from 7pm-8pm every Thursday and I have 3 young children that I can't bail my wife on during dinner, homework, bath, and bed time) but it was done straight through without any pauses since it was just a camera in my face the whole time.
