Introducing Nick Murdocco Let's get to know each other, shall we? My name is Nick Murdocco and have been the class clown and supreme know-it-all since elementary school. In kindergarten, the teacher asked if anyone knew any songs and let's just say that the whole class was saved by the bell, cuz I could have kept on going... I have always been a sports fan from an early age. I have been a diehard Habs fan since I'm 5 and even though my family moved to Vancouver (back in the day when the Canucks had the hockey stick logo and were constantly pummeled 9-1 by the visiting Habs) I still cheered for the bleu blanc rouge! My Italian heritage forcefully obliged me to follow and play soccer as well as jump on the bandwagon every time Ferrari won an F1 race. Growing up, I have also played football (noseguard) , Rugby (tighthead prop), Baseball (1st base and cleanup hitter thank you very much!) as well as having dabbled with TaeKwon-Do. This passion for sports has always given me, so I thought, the divine right to express my opinion and insight on whatever sports story (or any story for that matter) happened to be the topic of the day. I never thought the day would come when I would actually get a microphone and be able to voice my opinion to more than just a few friends who tolerated me because I would eventually by the next round....until now ! I am very excited about contributing to this venture called THE Franchise on CJLO.com, as a new guest-host and a contributing writer to the site or whatever Leigh and Gary have in mind...easy boys, I'm a married man ! Anyways, enough on me, I look forward to writing and talking about a whole array of different topics from the Habs and the NHL to Baseball to even some of the "Franchise Featured Artist" if I so choose ! Time will tell ! In the meantime, enjoy the site, enjoy the show on CJLO.com on Sunday mornings from 7-9 AM and pretty soon on an AM radio dial near you and hope to be interacting with y'all soon !! |
