Guests & Co-Hosts

KEVIN O’NEILL

Kevin O’Neill is our Wednesday and Friday morning sports guy. His segment emphasizes what happens off the field as much as what happens on the field. All businesses have their intrigue, but the inner workings of sports organizations find their way into the public domain frequently. Unless a rant from the Chief spills into Kevin’s segment (not an unusual occurrence), he will highlight some of those sports related business issues; but be advised that those highlights usually come with an opinion.

MICHAEL MURPHY

Michael Murphy is a long time friend of The Chief and our local Soccer aficionado.
