.... Is me!  ;D

Probably none of you heard me or will ever, but I am the newest Celtics correspondent on SPC Noticias on 1600AM, the first spanish language news show in Boston.  I go on for about 4 minutes at 7 AM after every Celtics game and talk a little bit about the game and provide some analysis.  I did my first show today and will be doing it on weekday mornings throughout the playoffs.  It's nothing major but still a cool thing nonetheless.  Who hasn't wanted to play analyst on radio or TV, especially when it comes to your favorite team, the Celtics.

Just thought I would let CB know and share in my giddiness  ;D.  If any of you speak spanish, check it out in boston at 1600AM or online at spcnoticias.com.  They do a live stream there.  I'm open to any suggestions or commentaries as well!

Unfortunately I don't speak Spanish and I don't live in the USA but it sounds cool, and it's great for you, I hope you'll continue to enjoy this radio appearance! :)

Sweet gig, congrats!  How about running us a spanish language thread every once and a while?

Thanks a lot guys.  I appreciate the TP's.  It was really cool being on air today.  Never done that before.  I don't know if you all realize but Latinos aren't only in to soccer and baseball.  The community has really gotten behind the team. Guess you don't have to be Irish to like the Celts, huh?  ;D

But one question... Does this now make part of the hated media?  ???

I would definitely run a spanish language thread if enough of us on here were able to read and write in Spanish.  I know Edgar does... Anybody else?

Congratulations!  That's great stuff, and I'll try to check out the stream when I get a chance.

As for the question above, while once upon a time I might have been able to contribute a bit to such a thread (not such how well I could do that now without it taking hours to write a post), but I feel pretty confident in my ability to read and comprehend if that adds to your impetus to start the thread... :)

Congratulations! Unfortunately I never kept up with speaking Spanish (which I used to be able to do)...otherwise I'd tune in for sure.

I was thinking PierceMVP08 might motivate us to rebuild our chops with the language.  How about running a quick class in Spanish basketball terms?
