Some great names here. Joe ‘Butterball’ Tamburro was not only a PD but also a legendary on air personality like no other in Philly radio. Smooth voice, great lines that rhymed, always looked forward to being welcomed into “The wide wonderful world of Butterball!” And the great Marty Glickman doing Jets games. He could make a 2 or 3 yard gain by Freeman McNeil sound like a 95 yard TD run.
Some great names here and well deserved.
