Welcome to TimersSports
The TimersSports Lounge is open today and Tony Session joins myself (Michelle Rizzo) , and talk about little a bit of everything! Tony is a 15 year fantasy sports veteran from Spain who currently lives in Houston , Texas. Enjoy please!
Q&A Asker: Michelle Rizzo
Q&A Responder: Tony Session
Q: Why did you move from Spain? And long ago?
A: I moved in 1999 from Spain to America. Mainly for the opportunity. Back in Spain , I was a well respected young sports broadcaster. My good friend Eric Swizzles had connects down in Houston and want to come try out. 15 years later here I am with my own radio show. Funny because my intentions were never to stay , but glad I did.
2. Q: You recently became a fan of Nascar! What your thoughts?
A: Ironically for a long time I thought Nascar was stupid. Last year attended a race at Texas. I was instantly hooked! I absolutely love it.
3. Q: Tony , You have your own show. What's your least favorite part about it?
A: Receiving upset calls and angry messages. Even after a decade and a half. Sometimes I forget my opinions are considered important. Kinda like with you guys. I cannot remember who , but one your colleagues compared RFR (an Nascar team) to women. He forgot his opinion mattered from a professional stand point. Just like I do. Logically people get upset by using examples/comparisons as such.
4. Q: How do you manage life , family and your job? How do you keep it balance? Any advice for young teens out there trying enter the field of broadcasting?
A: I didn't think you will ever successful be balanced every aspect of your life. But I try to split my amount of time equally. Yeah definitely! Don't ever keep quiet about something , you think relatively important to the specific matter at hand. I didn't and got my big break..And remember just have fun doing it.
5. Q: Final Question Tony , Any sneaky fantasy football plays in week 9? Thanks for stopping by the lounge.
A: Yeah there quite a few. But Carson Palmer is someone who I really like. Palmer have scored 16 or points in every start this season. How he still under the radar is ridiculous to me. Thanks for having me. Hope to come back sometime.
Next week , TimersSports Owner Garry Briggs (host this time) return to the lounge. As he sits down with long time rival Jeff Nathans. As they chat and share some great stories and memories of a decade of playing against each other.
