San Diego sports broadcasting icon Cookie “Chainsaw” Randolph has agreed to join 619 Sports as a minority owner, columnist and contributor. Randolph, the widely self-proclaimed “Dean of American Sportscasters”, will begin by writing a weekly column for 619Sports.Net.
“We couldn’t be happier to welcome Chainsaw to 619 Sports,” said company co-founder and president Craig Elsten, “Cookie’s wit and wisdom will be a tremendous addition to our website. We look at the addition of Chainsaw to our team as another step toward 619 Sports becoming the premier online destination for San Diego sports talk and sports writing.”
Randolph spent 20 years as part of the “Dave, Shelley and Chainsaw” program on 101.5 KGB-FM, the top-rated and wildly popular morning radio show. While the DSC is currently in between radio gigs, Randolph has been itching to continue to contribute to the San Diego sports scene.
“Thank you, President Obama!” said Chainsaw, “Thanks to an obscure clause in ‘Cash for Clunkers’, Craig and Chris get a tax credit for donating a portion of their website to the unemployed. I’m happy to take advantage of this sports welfare.”
“Chainsaw is one of the funniest, most entertaining sports personalities I’ve ever listened to in San Diego,” said company co-founder and vice president Chris Ello, “It’s going to be a lot of fun to work with him and I can’t wait!”
Cookie “Chainsaw” Randolph will be officially introduced as a member of the 619 Sports team on Tuesday night, April 13th, at the Tilted Kilt downtown in San Diego. 619 Sports will be hosting a “tweetup” from 6:30-8:30pm, open to the public.
We will be announcing multiple ways to get free VIP tickets for this exciting tweetup, within hours on 619 Sports, so check back!
