We used to turn the volume down on the tv and use the radio as the audio for the game if Sonny was broadcasting Always funny and informative and passionate RIP

Knoxville was like that when John Ward did the radio play-by-play for the University of Tennessee football games - it just didn't seem real unless you heard him describe it... :)

That’s what my father did and I would be so mad I’d go daddy. Can we watch something else? I wanna watch something else I don’t wanna watch baseball. You hear it on the radio but no, we had to go outside and play.😂
