It is with great sadness I share that I will be leaving the burner community, the time has simply come to just move on. Thank you to all of the Barstools and Burners who let me shit on them. #cockout #goatburner #goodbye

Nearly 25 years ago I walked into WQAD as an eager, wide eyed, and probably unprepared intern. I knew very little. The ONE thing I did know was that this is something I always wanted to do.

I grew up right here in the Quad Cities flipping channels as fast as I could as a kid. I'd go from Thom Cornelius/Dan Pearson to Don Sharp to Dan Burich as fast as I could to get as much local sports as I could. I couldn't get enough. And for a quarter century I lived and breathed local sports. I've been beyond blessed.

But here's the thing - that 20 year old intern has turned into a 45 year old happily married father of 4 extremely busy boys. Seems like it happened overnight.

My time at WQAD is coming to an end. I've got 3 weeks left. My final show will be November 10th.

There's several reasons why it's time. But there's no 4 better reasons than those aforementioned boys of mine. Being a dad is hands down my most important job in life. My wife is an absolute rockstar. She's gladly allowed me to do what I love. But it's time to get off work before 11pm every night and work a few less Saturdays.

It's also time for some new challenges. I try to teach my boys that the best things you'll do in life are outside your comfort zone. Well - after 25 years - I've gotten pretty comfy at WQAD.

I'm super excited about the future and opportunities ahead. I won't be a stranger to QC sports. More on that soon.

There are SO many thank you's to give and memories to share. That's what these next 3 weeks are all about. Let's have some fun along the way. It's been one heck of a ride!

[Barry Longcock @LongcockBarry]

@BenWilson040702 @spranger53 @shaybo32 yeah you’re right I didn’t look you up on tffrs because I actually don’t care that much bro.

[Barry Longcock @LongcockBarry]

@BenWilson040702 @spranger53 @shaybo32 all i had to do was click your profile bro, trust me I didn’t look up your name😭😭

it’s funnier with a burner, just butt out.

[Barry Longcock @LongcockBarry]

@BenWilson040702 @spranger53 @shaybo32 I’m just wondering why you’re commenting on this? Mind your business bro.

fyi, might wanna work on that 400 hurdle time, not even breaking 57 in college is embarrassing.

@spranger53 - valiant effort to get the athletes an auxiliary facility
- a good rearrangement of the weight room to give the athletes more effective agility training
- BHS was deemed a program of excellence under seabold
- much more to list but i’m limited

but he was just ‘padding a resume’

[Barry Longcock @LongcockBarry]

@spranger53 Had to come out of retirement for this one. This is so embarrassing for a no name like you to come out here and disrespect someone who has gone through great lengths to better the program, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up spranger! #bozo #sitdownandshutup #whysomad
