Look who made his first television appearance of the Spring yesterday evening –
CHRIS WHEELER, EVERYBODY!
Looking pretty dang sharp in his kick-ass leather jacket (surely for his motorcycle), readjusted hairpiece, Penn State sweatshirt (DYK his cat’s name is Nittany? Of course you did), and invisible eyebrows, Muffin showed up on Daily News Live to drop some knowledge on the viewing audience and look good doing it.
I’ll bet you Chris has to beat those vixens from the local retirement community off with a stick!

Lookin’ SHARP.
Also, and I can’t say it enough: fuck Penn State.
He should grow a beard.
Ah geez everybody, you caught me after a loooong night with the wacky crew at Frenchy’s in leftfield. Boy, were those knuckleheads goofy last night, lemme tell ya.
if by SHARP you mean hungover, then yes
Also, and I can’t say it enough: fuck Penn State.
Heart you, Tug.
/Pitt ’04
I thought it was fuck the state pen, fuck hoes from Penn State?
Is that Shaft?
Dramatic Chipmunk tag FTW.
*snaps fingers* *points* “Eyyyyyyyyyy”
Just working round the COCK for the man!
AHAHAHAHAHA
I give him some credit for trying to be cool. I mean his head is half cocked like he just caught a glimpse of some sweet poon, or Manbearwolf Werth.
thank you, tug. thank you very much.
I’ve always suspected Wheels and Chase have a “Michael Scott/Jim Halpert” dynamic going on.
how do u go on tv with confidence like that, its so obvious his hair is fake lol
p.s. anyone know where i can find some opening day standing room tickets online? having some trouble n really wanna go even tho its prolly gonna be impossible to find them
that bigmyc sure is a character
Wheels road his motorcycle down to clearwater from pa… BO$$
@y000oo0oo000
Google D.C. Metro Eagles and send the guy an e-mail. He has extra opening day tickets. You can also try and get tickets from Brian Micheal over at Philliesnation.com That’s the group I am going with this year.
Is it me, or has Wheels aged 10 years in the last 2?
You guys do know that that IS Tyler Walker, right?
I thought Nittany was a dog, not a cat.
D Whit, don’t worry – they say imitation is the biggest form of flattery. Anyway most of the things bigmyc says are just copy and pasted or regurgitated from WIP
@y000oo0oo000 did you try Stubhub? I’m sure there are still some relatively cheap ones there, nobody really gives a fuck about the Nationals.
Heeeeyyyyy TMAC, Sit On It!!!
Where’s Pinky Tuscadero????
hahah people talkin shit on penn state is hilarious. suck it bitches! don’t be jealous cause you went to a lame school
Pitt is weak sauce. Most depressing city in the country.
I just can’t stand seeing those stupid paw prints on cars all the time. You don’t see me putting Owl shit on my car for Temple, do you?
Wheels outside is dangerous…his hair could fly off in the wind and harm someone.
Are you kidding me? I have to announce the Phils-Florida State game?????
Wheels still blows balls, but i’d probably hate him slightly less if he grew out a beard.
Wheels just got back from his audition for Wild Hogs II – the Highway to Boca
Yes, but David, does that also mean that I HAVE character?
Why Jdoggie, that is a helluva thing to say to me. (Mimicks Doc’s shock and digust at Wyatt Earp’s suggestion that Holliday need’nt be involved in the OK Corral disarmament).

Why stop at the leather jacket? Why not put on paperboy cap and big giant medallion?
For Godsakes Muffin, you’re 60 years old. You’ve won the war. Whitey and Harry are gone. You don’t need to impress anybody anymore.
It’s your gig until you die.
@James_Fayleez
You’re really gonna compare the great Harry Kalas and Whitey to Wheels?… wow.
I don’t think James_Fayleez was comparing him to Whitey and Harry, but rather comparing him to a cockroach surviving a nuclear apocalypse.
You can only kill Wheels with fire.
Where the FUCK is D.Whitmore?
@ Clare
I wouldn’t tell people I went to Pitt. Kind of embarassing don’t you think??
I personally think that Chris is looking good these days. I’m actually stunned they made no changes to their broadcasts- I’d like to Franske get a sniff on TV.
PS- K-Rod has pink eye. Go Mets! You can see him in action over at the site.
F Wheels!
I want Scott Graham back.. he is the only person who could possibly have the chance of filling Harry Kalas’s shoes.
Get Franske on television
Wheels is o.k. but I’ll always have respect for the guy who shut his mouth while Harry made the call of my life.
He has a very punchable face.
I quite like Scott Graham too, but Scott Franzke is awesome…and I would LOVE to see him and L.A on television together calling games.
And I would honestly be surprised if anyone likes or even ever liked Wheels. At best maybe some people tolerate him, but he’s so freaking unlikable.
Are you serious, gang? Scott Graham was so plasticy-phoney. Scott Franske is the shit, and he belongs on tv w/ LA.
Case closed.
@JoePa: well said. That moment may have been the only time I’ve ever respected Wheels. The dance may have been hilariously dorky, but the sentiment behind it was awesome.
@4daysrest.com Over at what site?
@THE_REAL_WHEELS seems awfully fond of you, Meech.
@dlhunter, exactly. Scott Graham seemed like a nice guy (unlike Chris Wheeler) but his calls were very awkward. I love Scott Franzke! I really hope him and LA get on TV soon.
I was listening to 610 today, with some guy who wrote a book about Harry. He was saying that basically Wheels helped Harry cheat on his first wife, and helped him quietly on tv, whispering to him when Harry was wrong. But, he also kind of made it seem that Wheels may have had something to do with Whitey moving only to the radio, and Harry always kind of felt that Wheels was trying to do that to him.

I’m really excited to read it. Comes out March 9th.
Great, yet another book that I ABSOLUTELY need to buy along with the new Mitch Williams book, and like 4 other books!
Why must so many good books come out around the same time, particulary when I am broke as heck?
If Franzke goes to t.v. I will set every one of you motherfuckers on fire. It’s my only salvation in not having cable. Franzke is not allowed to leave radio. Period.
P.S. – MaxL – I knew it was Tyler Walker.
