Bobby V Has A New Gig

An article by Craig Lerner

According to the Huffington Post, former Mets and Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine will work as a commentator for NBC Sports Radio.

He will be the part-time co-host of a weekday talk show that debuts in April. Starting this month, he will also periodically provide analysis to NBC Sports Radio shows and affiliated stations.

Valentine was fired in October after just one season in Boston, when the Red Sox went 69-93.

His colorful no holds barred style should play well on radio.

Good luck, Bobby.

  Me and my ex once had mutual interest, but unfortunately things didn’t work out.

    Ha! That is one story I have heard quite often. You should have a chat with a gentleman that goes by the name of Gategem over at RDM. He has quite the stories when it comes to this area.

I would watch Bobby V. and Harold Reynolds when they were on Baseball Tonight. He is the . A great baseball guy. When he was still managing the Mets I went to Atlanta to see a game. Bobby Cox was intimidating the umps like he always did and as soon as the Mets came to bat he jumped out of the dugout and gave the umps a mouthful. He didn’t get tossed but he stood up for his players and got respect. I miss him on the field. Best baseball analyst in the business today.
