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.

Actually Pete,
I'll be tuning in to see if the camera's catch him giving a cheap shot to one of the other contestants.
Let's just say - the odds are this dude has his own version of 'Dirty Dancing'.....

It's not a show I watch -- even as a courtesy to a family member -- but it's hard to avoid the latest "news" of who is signed on, who remains in the competition, and so forth. Sometimes the "star" is somebody I never heard of. This, of course, is preferable to a semi-controversial offspring of a semi-controverial losing vice presidential candidate (no, not Geraldine Ferraro) or someone who used to be cool as a Go Go.
When I read Hines Ward and a 90-pounder above, my first thought was I guess #86 won't be twirling Kirstie Alley. I might have tuned into Dancing With The Has-Beens for that episode.

Pro Wrestler Chris Jericho will be on the show....wonder if we could get Eck to call him and have him deliver a stiff Codebreaker (his finishing move) to Ward????
