John:

Some call him "J-Money." John has been covering local, national and international sports for for nearly 20 years. John has won a stack of local, state and national awards for his work, including three national APSE first-place awards and four APSE top-ten awards, including in column writing. John has won two Texas Headliners and three Texas APME awards, including being named Texas' best sports columnist for 2005. On the air, John has made television appearances on The Today Show, Fox Sports, SportsCenter, Dateline NBC, CNN, CBS This Morning and regular appearances on Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith. It wasn't John's fault it got cancelled. John's always been involved in sports, starring in football and basketball through high school and also boxing for the S.A. Boys Club. He's an avid fisherman and has coached elite summer-league basketball for the past 11 years, winning the Houston-area AAU Championship three consecutive years and advancing to the AAU National Championship Final Four once. Among the players John has coached are Nic Wise (Arizona), Jerrod Johnson (Texas A&M), Robert Joseph (Texas), Pierre Beasley (Rice), Gary Johnson (Texas), Mike Singletary (Texas Tech), Darris Santee (UNLV) and Jason Ebie (TCU).

Ted:

You'll also hear Ted anchoring The Sports Animal's morning Texas Ticker updates on the "Men's Room" and in morning sportscasts on NewsRadio 740 KTRH. A native of the Boston area, Ted arrived in Houston just before the 2002 Astros season to host the "Astros On Deck" and "10th Inning" pre- and post-game shows on KTRH (receiving the nickname "Teddy Bear" from Astros Hall-of-Fame broadcaster Milo Hamilton along the way), eventually becoming the station's sports director in the Fall of 2004. He also served as a co-host of the legendary "Sportsbeat" show before switching to morning-drive duties on KTRH and 790. Earlier in his 16-year broadcasting career, Ted handled play-by-play duties for the AAA Syracuse SkyChiefs (Toronto Blue Jays' top minor league affiliate) from 1997 through 2000, calling the '98-2000 Las Vegas AAA World Series between the International League and Pacific Coast League champions on ESPN2. He also spent the mid-1990s through early 2002 as the local TV play-by-play voice of Syracuse University football, men's and women's basketball, lacrosse, and other non-revenue sports, and also anchored TV sportscasts on Syracuse's NBC affiliate. During the first Internet boom, Ted commuted to New York City weekly to contribute sports programming for a startup Web company. Among the many sporting events he's covered over the years, he lists the World Series, Final Four, Super Bowl, and U.S. Open as his favorites, and he's received a number of broadcasting awards for his radio work in New York and in Texas during his career. When he isn't catching a game in person at the ballpark, arena, or stadium, you could find Ted checking out a ballgame at one of Houston's many fine eating/drinking establishments or cigar bars. He'd much rather be out and about in Houston and beyond, than home on the couch — which has led to a number of personal anecdotes that can't be shared on this Web site. An accomplished athlete in his younger days (primarily baseball and football, with some pick-up hoops mixed in), "TD" stays in shape by working out and hitting the links — when his jam-packed social schedule allows, that is.
