On Friday, I was notified by the producer of Thursday Night Lights that my first priority of being a statistician for TNL was to provide down, distance, and yard line to the truck graphics operator. I am a statistician and my first priority is to provide statistics to the talent and the truck. Oh, the tone of his emails were harsh and made me feel like I wasn’t respected.
So, to make a long story short and not so sweet for me, I decided to end my 7 years as the statistician for TNL. Yes, I am disappointed by the way it ended as I have been a statistician since 1995.
Hey, I had an awesome 7 years and will never forget it. I want to thank Ernie Zuniga, Dean Radla, Don Harris, Chuck Miketinak, Chris Kotfas, and David Ostmo from News 4 WOAI and KABB Fox 29.
With Thursday games out of the picture, I turned back to the great folks at St. Anthony and they welcomed me back with open arms. I knew I wouldn’t have to take the season off (I actually considered that)!!!
