No conversation with Pete Weber is long enough. And that’s for many reasons. The man is a literal encyclopedia of stories from every sport imaginable; has talked to players you probably dreamed of meeting as a child; and has been everywhere, seen every sporting event you’ve wanted to attend, and probably covered it as well.
He’s a legend in his own right, but when I had the chance to talk to him yesterday, he was focused on another legend, his longtime broadcast partner, Terry Crisp. The occasion? After 23 seasons behind the microphone and in front of the camera, Crisp is retiring from covering the Nashville Predators at the end of this season.
