As many people know, "The Maino and Nick Show" took the week between Christmas and New Year's Day (save the Monday after the Packers destroyed the Giants) off. I say, "as many people know" because nearly every radio show takes that week off every year. In fact, I can't name a single radio host that hosted a show that week.

Can you? Can anyone? I bet even Jeff Knox got the week off!

No, not the former Pitt Panther DB that was accused of beating his pregnant girlfriend in September. Eventual Hall of Fame broadcasters Jeff Knox - the guy working in Pensacola, Florida.

By the way, Props to the anger-managed Jeff Knox. I bet when you google your name you're going to be surprised it ended up here!

Anyway, back to the show. It's back and better than ever!

Yesterday, Kroll's West stopped by with Bacon Double Cheeseburgers and Diet Mt. Dew. Somewhere Colt Murray is jealous. These burgers are melt in your mouth delicious and they have enough grease to coat the inner linings of ALL of your arteries and even more saturated fat.

That's why they bring Diet Mt. Dew. We're all trying to watch out figures.

And if the show is back, that means I'm back. And I'm starting my two week stretch where I do real, actual, journalism. That's right! Over the next two weeks I'll be out at the home games for the UW-GB basketball team and scouring the streets for former Northeast Wisconsin high school athletes.

This week's WATN features three former Southwest High School football players that just finished up the first season of their NCAA careers.
