Today is my last day at WDBJ7. My position is being eliminated.
Impossible to describe what these 6+ years have meant to me. Just a kid who got to live his dream, and for that I’m so grateful.
SWVA will always have a place in my heart. Thank you to all who helped make it home.

Think about the gamble CBS took on Tony Romo. Remember, when he was first hired, people thought there was a chance he would still go back to play.
To boot Simms and put Tony on the A team took guts, but it’s resulted in the best announce team in the sport.
