It could very well be the first time anything has ever been broadcast live from Delight, period. However, I'm fairly certain it's the first time anyone has called and been live on-air on ESPN from Delight.
On the first day of our visit, Dave got to call into one of ESPN2's morning shows and talk about the Vikings and playoffs. Dave went to high school with a producer there, and the two connected months ago over Facebook.
While Dave answered questions and gave his two cents on the phone, I snapped a few pictures of his name on the TV screen. Dave and I are generally pretty tough critics of one another, and I think he did a pretty good job.
The fam definitely did. As soon as he hung up, the phones started buzzing as cousins and friends started calling. Not bad, Schwartzy. Who knew his ESPN "debut" would come from rural Arkansas?
