His schtick always rubbed me the wrong way, but 25 years at KARE 11 is a heck of a run:


Go Gophers!!
 

Meh.

He was no Randy.


What kind of "growth" is he looking for? Assume this can only mean he wants to follow like Randy did, out of sports and onto a main desk, somewhere.
 

I always got the impression the only sports he wanted to cover were hackey sack and frolf.
 

Corporate flack for some Fortune 500 or pro sports team in town?
 

Yeah, he appeared strung out at times when you would bump into him irl.
 


When he started with his "Perk at Play" segments, I found it an entertaining bit.

He often looked strung out on air. He would sometimes have dark circles under his eyes and more aloof than normal. The live on-site pieces for the olympics always made him look pretty rough. I was always waiting to see the headline “Eric Perkins from KARE 11 checks into rehab”. But it never happened.
