Scott Kaplan has a very popular radio show at the Mighty1090. The sports radio star in San Diego now has Kaplan joining the podcast world. Kaplan and former Charger Billy Ray Smith has been on the airwaves in San Diego since the early 2000's. Scott been doing his show his way since 2001 in San Diego when he was at XtraSports690. The former place kicker from the University of Pittsburgh now controls the airwaves on any time he is on. It is a locker room man show with their very own unique conversations.
Scott loyal fan base has risen to attend his Charger rallies on the Fridays before a Charger Playoff games at 6am to a packed house full of fans at the House of Blues. BoltPride has been in his studio several times and he's been out to their tailgates.He started the "Charger Hater Club". A group of ex Charger fans who felt their city was disrespected and lied too by a greedy owner who picked his team royalties over 56 years of fan loyalty.
You might not always agree with Scott. You may not like what he says and does sometimes. But to be fair, you damn well will respect his accomplishments. He doesn't powder puff his interviews nor does he with his thoughts and opinions. He is..well.. in a word outspoken! But at least you know and you will know what his opinions are on a certain subject or issue.subject. (Might have even gotten Scott fired a time or two.)
On February 13th, he recorded one of the best podcast I've heard done anywhere.
The podcast is a discussion with Jim Steeg and his wife Jill Lieber Steeg. Jim is a former NFL Executive and single handily almost changed the Super Bowl from a championship game to a sports holiday event lasting a week long. Jim worked for the NFL Special Events Department for over 20 years and now is a member of the Hall of Fame for Special Events. From 2004 to 2010 he worked as COO to Dean Spanos with the Chargers. He was also a member of the mayor advisory group CSAG in 2015.
Jim and Jill to me are one of the most educated and experienced people you will ever find in both the NFL and with firsthand insight in san diego politics. I am honored to have had Jill and Jim advise me and guide me while I was a communicating the messages for the fan group..Save Our Bolts.
Even with all of Jim accolades Jill an award winning senior writer who has written for the USA Today and Sports Illustrated and is an accomplished author as well. Jill is a communication specialist and with Jim founded Steeg Sports Management and Media Consulting. Every time I speak to them their knowledge is such a educational experience and amazing insight for me. I literally adore these two people for who they are as a person and their past resumes speak for themselves.
On the Feb 13th podcast they will discuss..How much Nick Hardwick has damaged his reputation in San Diego recently on Twitter, If Dean Spanos can ever make amends to the city of SD, How Mark Fabiani showed no respect and who's tactics which some get revealed are as shocking and unknown to most even for the man referred by many as Darth Vader, If the Mayor is to blame as the much team for the move, A lack of reporters "reporting" during the whole relocation saga between mostly 2015 and 2017 and Why neither SoccerCity nor SDSUWest will pass this November for the 166 acre site in Mission Valley.
Clear your mind of any prejudice and turn your listening caps on. This will be worth every second of your time. Enjoy and thank you for reading.
