Linked And Loaded Thursday 7/9
What a story Lance Armstrong could write. He is peddling his way up the standings in this years Tour de France bike race and has already won there in the past. He beat cancer and got to date Sheryl Crow for awhile. He is truly living the dream.
Couple of updates for you readers… Kelly Pavlik is throwing out the first pitch at the Scrappers game tonight, I will have something posted here tomorrow of his appearance at the game.
I am interviewing Jason Smit before the game. Smit was drafted at age 16 and is from Australia. He is working hard to climb the ladder and get to the next level. I have had brief conversations with him before and he is an enjoyable person.
I am close to gaining credentials for Youngstown State Football and couldn’t be more excited about the potential of Coach Heacock and this years team.
I spoke with Mike Pavlik yesterday and am very close to securing an interview with Kelly Pavlik in the next couple of weeks, stay tuned for that.
