As you know we’re putting together a major competition in an “American Idol-style” search for Baltimore next sports media star. I’ve never been a viewer of American Idol until this season and they’re not getting down to the nitty gritty on the show and it’s absolutely uncanny how much one of the contestants looks like Brian Roberts.
