Hardly Workin' with Greg Burton

What a day! The return of Holiday Cheer & Gear was a success thanks to my friends at Henrico Sports & Entertainment Authority
Love supporting The Salvation Army Central Virginia and their Christmas Assistance program.
It was great to be back on the air with Bob and Matt.
Even more special, Trevor came on the air with me, 8 years to the day he made his first ever radio appearance as a 3 year old. My heart is full!

The day we launched the radio show in Richmond, I was convinced no one would call in. We were on the air 2 mins and the first line lights up. The producer writes down the caller's name and holds it up: Jerry Stone. He knew I was worried no one would call and made sure I got at least one. Having a well-known and respected Richmonder like Jerry call in added instant credibility to the show. He listened every day. Critiqued me often but was always supportive. I'll miss our breakfasts at Westbury Pharmacy, standing with him at VCU basketball games and his calls and texts about all things RVA sports.
Jerry didn't have kids but there's a lot of us that consider ourselves his sons.
Thanks for everything Podge!

Mr. Stone worked more than 45 years as a teacher, coach, administrator and official in the Richmond area. In April, he was a member of the 34th class of inductees

Thank you to everyone who has listened and supported our show for the last 15 years.
While we are sad it won’t continue, we know there are so many people who have had their lives and families tragically affected by this pandemic. Let’s please help those who need it most.
I am going to hang out with my wife and son and keep working with the great people at students at Center for Sport Leadership
Matt is now available to handicap your backyard sporting events and set over/under for your walks around the neighborhood.
Thank you Richmond

Super interesting and revealing piece on Justin Verlander.
https://t.co/1LQ1DkN6vI

He arrives at the ballpark driving a gray muscle car. A replica, modeled after a famous car from a movie. There’s some 700 horsepower under the hood, and it is one fun, badass ride...
