Gary welcomes in SEC Network studio anchor and ESPN Radio host Peter Burns (on twitter @peterburnsespn) on today’s show. Topics include:

– how Peter got started in radio and how he ended up with the SEC Network gig

– Is it overwhelming needing to be in the loop on so many sports?

– Coming from Denver, how much attention did Peter pay to SEC sports before working at the network?

– Is there a favorite sport to cover?

– Was Peter surprised at the names and schools mentioned in the FBI College Basketball story on Yahoo?

– Gary believes this FBI talk will actually help the NCAA tournament. Does Peter agree?

– Is there a solution to the College Basketball mess other than “paying the players?”

– Is this the most exciting, unpredictable SEC basketball season since the SEC Network began?

– What can we expect from the conference leading into the NCAA Tournament? Are there a lot of good teams, or is everyone just average and beating up each other?

Gary Segars

Gary began his first website in 1998 as a sophomore in high school, writing reviews of cds and live shows in the Memphis area. He became editor of his college newspaper, then moved towards a career in music.He started the infamous MemphisTider.com blog during the 2006 football season, and was lucky enough to get into blogging just before the coaching search that landed Nick Saban at Alabama. The month and a half long coaching search netted his site, which was known for tracking airplanes, over 1 million hits in less than 90 days. The website introduced Gary to tons of new friends, including Nico and Todd, who had just started the site RollBamaRoll.com.After diving into more than just Alabama news, Gary started up his first installment of WinningCuresEverything.com in 2012. After keeping the site quiet for a while, it was started back up in April 2016. Gary then joined forces with high school friend Chris Giannini and began a podcast during the 2016 football season that runs at least 2 times a week, focusing on college football, NFL football, and sports wagering, and diving into other sports and pop-culture topics.E-mail: gary@winningcureseverything.com Twitter: @GaryWCE
