I have always been a Whit fan. He came off damn good for a rookie. Being a sportscaster looks like a very tough job, as you have to be thinking, speaking and listening to your producer in the headphones and your interviewee live on the mic.
I hope Mike Dunn, being a bicycle buddy of Whit's, gives him a few tips and some mentoring. Not that Whit is bad or nothing, but it always helps to have some one more experienced helping out when you get started in a new job.
The other guys on TV are also experienced, and I hope they are also supporting Whit in this new venture.
Whit has very strong feelings about all safety issues. I hope he can throttle his some time outspokenness enough to keep this gig! Stir the pot enough to get some good TV coverage but not enough to bite the hand that feeds Whit.
One thing I hate is starting a new job. Whit pulled off his first day on the job quite well, in my opinion. And how many of us in the workplace have to deal with the stress of knowing there's an audience of almost millions listening to your every word?
