Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in
The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.

"I'm tellin you right now, this guy can flat out coach. Give him a couple PTPers & a diaper dandy or 5 and I'm tellin you now, the O's are for real baby". "Hey, and I'll tell you another thing, if Adam Jones wasn't playing baseball & pulling all those home runs back, he'd be in the NBA cleanin glass baby". "I'm tellin you now, next year when the Red Sox & Yankees are watching games from their rocking chairs at the old folks home, the Baltimore Orioles are gonna schock MLB baby". "And, one more thing, this Markaikis kid...are you kidding me? He's got more power than the Duke Administration on selection Sunday". "Trembley's the man baby, Trembley's the man!" "And, one more thing...

They're both Notre Dame fans, and they're obviously as happy as the rest of us that Charlie Weiss is back in the NFL.

Hey Dave, isn’t it amazing that the media hasn’t placed a moratorium on reporting Orioles news being that the team perennially stinks and there’s no hope in sight?
