So happy for Steve and know that he’ll do great work with 1819! I’m sad to announce that Steve will no longer be able to do the podcast but more to come soon…stay tuned.

Unfortunate...

He will not be able to do color commentary on UAB football radio broadcasts any more, but promises that his replacement will be very good.

Good thing, Steve isn't going to be away from UAB. At heart he is a fan. If anything, UAB might have a beat writer now if not in title

Gross to see a great journalist being absorbed into a "news" arm of a political organization but...I guess I'm happy for him to have consistent work in a space he wants to be in.

From what little I’ve seen, 1819 is for people who think Yellowhammer News is too liberal. Ray Melick works there as well.

He doesn't just work there, he's the Editor-in-Chief

Super excited for Steve and so happy for him! Will definitely miss him on our podcast (stay tuned for an announcement in the coming weeks) but also will miss hearing him on the radio.

Congrats to Steve. But now this is the perfect opportunity to get a color analyst with actual football experience, someone that can give you more details about schemes and why certain plays work and don't work.

Steve did a great job for us and I thoroughly enjoyed his commentary and honesty. He will be missed.
