OK, thanks for the info. His sportscasting style was "unusual" or maybe just different. That's why he got canned. He never did anything radical, just unusual.
When a Houston Astro would get a home run, for example, on the replay during the sportscast and right when the bat would make contact with the ball he would shout, "BOOM!" and there would be a big "BOOM" graphic that would show up on the screen a la the Batman TV series or like a comic book if you aren't familiar with the TV series. He did other things like that.
The other thing he did is call a spade a spade with the Houston sports teams, coaches, owners, players, etc.....kinda like he does now with politicians.
Dan started in Houston as a sportscaster on TV. In those days I regarded him as just another silly TV personality. During the 1980's he opened a sports bar that failed. Down on his luck like a lot of other people in those troubled times, he did some soul-searching and became a Christian. I'll say that he matured a lot over the years. Dan had a talk program on KPRC in Houston for years, but was laid off, probably for political differences with the management. He found a little AM station in Tomball, north of Houston, called KSEV and has done very well since. It is the main radio station that I turn to.
