boomer69 - Robb Hartley

resident DBS Sports Pundit

Born 10/12/1951 here in Indianapolis...moved to Cincinnati in 1966 and after attending my first Reds game that year, have been a fan ever since!!!
Graduated from Sycamore HS in 1969. Went to Bowling Green State University for a year before getting drafted in 1971 Spent 3 years in the Army, one year in Korea working for American Forces Radio. After Korea lived in Springfield, MO from 1974 to 1979 working at 2 different TV stations, doing the weather and sports news for a couple of years, but main job is engineer. Only child was born in Springfield in 1977. Moved back to Indianapolis in 1979, and worked at Channel 4 here in town before coming to WRTV in 1990. Have worked many remote sports broadcast over the years.

Got married in Las Vegas last year after being divorced for 5 years. (First marriage was 32 years and ended rather ugly...long painful story I won't get into here.)

Occupation: Broadcast Engineer

Favorite Teams:
NFL - Indianapolis Colts (season ticket holder since they came to town in 1984)
MLB - the afforementiond Cincinnati Reds (have been to every Opening Day since 1980, and had a pretty good string going on before that, going back to my high school days)
NBA - Indiana Pacers
NHL - N/A Do not care for hockey...
NCAA Football - Notre Dame
NCAA Basketball - Indiana

Likes: Sports, music, boating, HDTV, steak, beer, sex (not neccesairily in that order)

Dislikes: some of the dumb remarks seen on this and other boards over the years...and bad broadcasting of any kind...

Plane rides are boring

You're not the only one who thinks so.

I'm asleep 80% of the time I'm on a plane if the flight is over an hour.

I fly out to the United Arab Emirates for Christmas this year with my family. I'll be gone for about a week, and the times are very confusing overseas, but I'll do the best I can to post on here.

Doesn't seem like a place to go for Christmas. Why Dubai Sabres? Won't you miss out on the snow and all the hub-bub around the holidays here in the States?

My mother originally came from the Middle East- Iran- and her sister- my aunt- lives there, with her husband- my uncle- and two sons.

My mom has tons of relatives overseas.

BTW, I'm only going to be gone from mid-December until the 27th. That means I will be back for the big bowl games and the end of the NFL season.

I'm just a poster on this site.

I live in Southeastern Conn.

My Birthday is 5/8/82

I'm single and right now in between jobs

Favorite Teams:

MLB: Obviously the Mets since 86
NFL : The Giants since 86
NBA: The Lakers. When I say I'm a Lakers fan, I mean a casual fan. I don't even know all the members of the team. I couldn't tell you who there playing. That's why I'm a casual fan. If that means I'm not a fan-so be it.
NHL: I don't have a fav. team as I don't follow hockey that much.
NCAA: I've been paying attention and trying to follow the Uconn Huskies in both Basketball and Football.

Likes: Sports obviously, Wrestling, Archives (Vintage stuff, see this forum), The Super Bowl, Fish, Pasta, Subway, McDonald's, Videotapes

Dislikes: Annoying pop-up ads on television(I'll explain if you want), Slow drivers, The Yankees, fake people, People that think they know what's best for everyone else, Those damn annoying Geico Cavemen commericals (I mean we get, your cavemen-Enough, already!!! Am I right people!!!)
