Onion News Network

 
"As a news anchor for all those years, Brad, what highlights stand out?"  

     I'm often asked this question, and there are many highlights that instantly come to mind.  

    ✔ Having the just-elected governor of New Hampshire throw up on me on live election coverage.  

     ✔ Not eating for ten days in China (my choice).
  
     ✔ Playing goalie for Tulsa's professional indoor soccer team in an exhibition game and blocking three shots with my face (not my choice).

     ✔ Watching the TV station I'd just been hired to work for burn to the ground upon my arrival in Reno, Nevada.

      ✔ Meeting my fellow reporters for beers and sausages at Esker's Tavern when we were supposed to be out looking for tornadoes in Illinois.      

      ✔ Interviewing Kevin Costner on live national television and quickly discovering that he had nothing to say.  For four long minutes.

      ✔ Being stopped in a NYC guitar store by the late Lou Reed who said "I don't remember your name, but I dig your work on channel 11."

      ✔ Surviving several attempts on my professional life by a variety of wacky co-workers.

      ✔ The smell of the greasepaint, the roar of the...well, before robotic cameras...camera people.

     But late in my broadcasting career I've been blessed to work with a truly warped bunch at The Onion News Network and the highlights happen every episode.  A full day's supply of these videos, suitable for binge viewing, is available here.  

Below, an appetizer.  Goes well with a hearty Bordeaux.
