Please continue your tirade...but not before you clean up the mess in aisle five.
No worries Pants, you certainly didnt offend me. And i have thought about legally changing my last name to Balls, but i think i'll stick with the name my parents gave me.

I did leave River after Derby Day for some health and personal reasons. I'm doing much better and will be returning to racecalling very soon.

That being said, I phoned Peter Aiello the day i left and got him in touch with the people at River. I think he started right around the first of June and he's been doing a very good job. Just like any new announcer he has made some small mistakes once in a while, but we all do. The important thing is he's having fun and improving each time i've heard him. I think Peter has a bright future!!
