The Shemon and Sheppard Show loves watching football.  We watch a lot of football, in fact.  So, today we will match NFL play-by-play announcers with color analysts for trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia.

In case you are not fortunate enough to be lucky caller number nine at 239-337-ESPN, then you are in luck!  Play at home and dazzle your family!  Stump your co-workers with useless knowledge!  Amaze your friends with your newfound intelligence!  Below are the actual questions AND ANSWERS heard during Wiki-Pete-ia on our show.

Fun fact about me; I never got into the radio business to be a talk show host.  It just kind of happened.  Earlier in my career, I was all about becoming the next great play-by-play announcer.  I cut my teeth doing high school football and basketball.  Next, I moved to Charleston, South Carolina to become the radio voice of The Citadel Military College for football, basketball and baseball.  Later, I did NFL Europe play-by-play on the NFL Network.  That led to a short stint doing TV play-by-play for the NFL on FOX.  I also did some basketball announcing for the Big Ten Network.  I love doing play-by-play and I love and appreciate those who do it on the big stage.  So today, we will match play-by-play announcers with their color analysts on Wiki-Pete-ia.  Good luck to you!
