On July 1, Islanders Announcer, Brendan Burke, will fill in for John Sterling on the Yankees radio. Burke will do the Yankees games on the radio from July 1 through July 6.
I am THRILLED to hear this because Brendan is a true professional and a great person. I know he will do great in this assignment.
You can rest assured that I will be listening in.
I love when a person's hard work pays off. Brendan has worked extremely hard to get this opportunity.
I am especially thrilled for Brendan because once, a long time ago, for a short time, I was his eighth grade history teacher. He's a great person from a great family.
Congratulations to Brendan and the whole Burke family.
I couldn't be happier for you all!
That's awesome! My first job offer out of college was to be a play-by-play radio announcer at the AHL level. Brendan Burke is actually my favorite current hockey announcer on the radio, so I think he's a great fit for this role.
So cool to know that you taught him way back when, Paul!
happy F-day, Paul
