The Fan

After posting my first blog I was informed it was not quite what was expected. I have decided to change my topic to KFAN. KFAN is a radio station based out of Minneapolis M.N. This is my favorite radio station and I listed to it about six hours daily. KFAN is AM 740 around these parts but in the twin cities it is AM 1130. The Fan is heard in ten different places, starting with the twin cities and branching out to Bemidji M.N., Duluth M.N., Baxter M.N., Fargo N.D. (the station we receive the FAN from), Grand Forks N.D., Mankato M.N., Rochester M.N., St. Cloud M.N., and Ely, M.N. The FAN is owned by Clear Channel Inc. like I said it is a sports talk radio station. The station would be enjoyed by any sports fan, obviously it is a Minnesota sports radio station so it is bias to Minnesota sports, and that is ok because most people around there are some type of Minnesota sports fan. The personalities on each so are so unique, as the weeks go on I will show you what I mean.

NFL pick em

The NFL football season hasn't even came to an end yet, and the college season wrapped up last week. Yet already football fans are looking ahead to April 25th and 26th for the NFL draft, one of the most watched and analyzed events in sports. Fans tune in to see what players their favorite team will pick. They watch to see where players they watched in college and even high school end up and begin their professional careers.

Thursday this last week was the deadline for college underclassman to declare their NFL draft eligibility. This meaning that college players at least 3 years graduated from high school can opt to leave school early and be drafted by a team. It was interesting this year to see how players based their decision to stay or go on how other players in the same position made their decisions. For instance Jr quarterback from Texas Colt McCoy decided to come back for his senior season, as did Florida Jr Tim Tebow and Oklahoma red shirt SO Sam Bradford. So after hearing the news on all these quarterback stars USC Jr. Mark Sanchez decided to declare for the draft, even during criticism for being only a one year starter, without the competition from these other players his decision was easy. It promises to be an interesting run, stay tuned.
