Episode 220 - On this episode, Ned Reynolds and Art Hains joined me for a special show as we paid tribute to local sports figure, and my dad, Dr. Tommy Burnett. We started during Sports Talk with Art and crossed over to A Coach's Perspective, thank you to Art for the additional airtime. We listened to stories, in his own voice, about his time in Smackover, Arkansas, playing football for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, winning a national championship and his time with the Super Bowl III Champion New York Jets. I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Logan Weber, my producer, and to my co-hosts Ned Reynolds and Art Hains. These gentlemen filled my heart with joy and gratitude as we reminisced and celebrated the life of Dr. Tommy Burnett. The impact that this multi-Hall-of-Famer had on lives is incredible, but to be honest, this show was about a daughter who loves her daddy and wanted to shout it from the airwaves. He was my champion and his legacy and love live on in our hearts. His Celebration of Life is Saturday, September 18, 2021 at the Oasis Convention Center at 5:00 pm.

With every profession we need resources and support as we grow and develop. To achieve longevity, it takes support from mentors and colleagues. The Missouri Basketball Coaches Association has launched a new support initiative for female coaches called 28.5 and tonight we explore how coaches, male and female, can support each other and encourage professional endurance. We speak with founder of 28.5 Cori Elms (current MBCA Class 2 State Champion and Coach of the Year) from East Buchanan and discuss the mission and logistics of this new program. We were then joined by a coaches panel to talk about the initiative and how they support one another, all coaches and professions can relate.

In this episode we posed another challenge for our Hall of Fame broadcast duo, Ned Reynolds and Art Hains. This is their fourth, and I am confident to say, their most difficult challenge to date! Our first challenge was play by play of a sushi chef at Nakato Steakhouse (Springfield's First and Finest Japanese Steakhouse). They did a great job with this, so we then challenged them to play “Play by Play Charades” as they described a sport to a panel without naming the sport. That was hard, but they stepped up and fought through like champs! Our third challenge was miniature golf as we tracked a group playing at Fun Acre in Springfield, Missouri. This current challenge, well….let me just say was scary to accept. They never know where we are going and when we pulled up to Hotel of Terror…both were apprehensive about this task. I challenged them to follow a group of young women through a haunted house and perform play by play of the scene and their reactions. After they recovered from the shocking proposal, they both accepted, and we were whisked away in a hearse to Dungeons of Doom for our adventure. This was a hard one! Please know that there is a lot of background noise, focus on their voices, but what do you expect? It's a haunted house! My thanks to Sterling Mathis, owner and operator of Hotel of Terror and Dungeons of Doom for allowing this half-baked idea to actually come to fruition. Also, thank you to Hailey Jo Hopkins, Mary Beth and Mia Payne for being brave enough to be our subjects of the play by play. Thank you to Kim Payne for allowing her daughters to join mine in this quest. Listen and enjoy! Next week – recap of some high school sports and semi-pro football!

It's challenge time again! We, again, challenged Ned Reynolds and Art Hains, to a Play by Play/Color Analyst escapade. Our first challenge was to have them perform play by play and color analyst work on a Hibachi chef at Nakato Japanese Steakhouse. They passed that endeavor. We then challenged them to “Play by Play” charades with a panel of judges (Don Louzader, Jeff Burnett, and Misty Ramsey). Again, they passed with flying colors. Our latest challenge for these two Hall of Famers, consisted of broadcasting the 1st Annual ACP Championship Event of miniature golf! My thanks to our host course, Fun Acre in Springfield, Missouri! Our finalists were Don Louzader (Two-time Open Champion at Fun Acre, ACP's baseball correspondent), C.J. Ball (Drury Women's Golf Coach), and Jeff Burnett (our Kansas City Chiefs Superfan). It was a tight race and our broadcasters filled our listeners with action-packed intensity as we moved from hole to hole. In the end, however, the bronze medal was awarded to Coach C.J. Ball, the Silver to Jeff Burnett, and the Gold….no surprise…to course champion Don Louzader! My thanks to all that made this challenge an enjoyable event. If you missed it, listen at acoachsperspective.com or on Apple iTunes Podcast. Next week we will host Josh Scott and Marty Marsh, Athletic Directors for Springfield Public Schools about some well-deserved accolades for their department and what is coming up with SPS Athletics.

Tonight, we graciously hosted the Men's Basketball Coach at Missouri State University (MSU), Dana Ford along with the Springfield Police Department's Chief Paul Williams. We discussed the initiative and partnership they have formed to start the program Bears, Badges, and Kids. This program will have players from the MSU Basketball team, members of the Springfield Police Department and kids from our community, on their home courts, coming together on Saturday mornings to play pick up and talk with each other in hopes of educating and forming positive relationships. Chief Williams and Coach Ford should be commended for their efforts on taking action with their platforms and being positively engaged in our community. My thanks for their compassion, caring and efforts with this much needed intervention in our society. I feel it will have a tremendous impact and will hopefully ripple through the city. Thank you, also, to Community Partnership of the Ozarks and all that are involved in making this happen. Next week, it's challenge time again! We will once again challenge Ned Reynolds and Art Hains, if they are brave enough to accept! Our first challenge was to have them perform play by play and color analyst work on a Hibachi chef at Nakato Japanese Steakhouse. We then played “Play by Play” charades.

In tonight's episode, we profiled Human Champion Tom Mast, and celebrated his broadcasting career and impressive community involvement. Through his broadcasting, he has brought so many stories to the community and does so with professionalism, class and humor. His community events propel our citizens to be engaged in several areas, and for that, we give gratitude for his efforts and contributions. This Hall of Famer has been a mentor to many and continues to be lifelong friends with many of his broadcast partners. My thanks to Jerry Jacob, Ned Reynolds, Art Hains, Corey Riggs, and Don West for calling in and giving messages and expressions of gratitude to Tom Mast. He is a “Tom-of-all-trades” and truly cares about his community. Thank you, Tom!
Happy New Year! Wow! 2020! What an exciting time! We ring in the New Year with another challenge for our legendary duo, Art Hains and Ned Reynolds. These two broadcast gurus decided to accept another test from Coach Hopkins. We met at Ebbett's Field (thank you – such a great place to eat and catch up on the latest sports scene) and, this time, had a panel of judges/studio audience. We hosted our St. Louis Cardinals correspondent, Don Louzader who did a terrific job and is always a welcome guest on the show. We also had one of my former assistants and current school principal Misty Ramsey join us for the first-and after her performance definitely not her last-appearance! We also hosted my younger brother, and Kansas City Chiefs Superfan, Jeff Burnett-one of my favorites to have on the airwaves. The challenge was to play, what I now like to call, Play by Play Charades. I showed a one-minute video clip to Ned and Art of a lesser known sport – but still nationally or globally recognized –and, without saying what sport it is, they painted the picture so that the panel could guess. The panel had dry erase boards and after one minute, they wrote down what sport they felt like Ned and Art described. We went through 14 sports! It was fun, some they knew and some, well, I had to have some that “stumped the chumps”. Jeff was the winner with seven correct and we had a great time playing (cue dramatic music in your mind)…Play by Play Charades! Listen to the show and give it a try, see how many you get! My thanks, again, to Ebbett's Field for their hospitality. Also, thank you to Greg Burnett for compiling and selecting the sports and videos, he did an excellent job! We hit sports from all around the world. Kudos to Ned Reynolds and Art Hains for, again, proving how they are the sports broadcast legends of this area and to my stellar panel Don Louzader, Misty Ramsey, and Jeff Burnett – you all were wonderful sports and we appreciated your valued participation!
In this episode, we enjoy a “Thanksgiving dinner with Ned Reynolds and Art Hains” at Springfield's first and finest Japanese Steakhouse, Nakato. We reflect on the gratitude, professionally and personally, that Ned and Art have and how sports broadcasting has changed and evolved over the years. We also gave these two legends a challenge – they performed play by play and color analyst work of our Hibachi Chef at Nakato! They did an excellent job and give a whole new meaning to, “And he goes for the butter AGAIN!” My thanks to these two gentlemen, they have been wonderful mentors and friends.
On this show, we previewed our new book, Raising Razorbacks: A Collection of Burnett Stories with an interview with Tommy Burnett, Billy Burnett, and Lacy Newman Humphreys who hosted the book launch party. Order online on our product page! We also previewed the upcoming Step Up to the Plate event with Coach Keith Guttin with Missouri State University Baseball. We also caught up with talented local broadcaster Ray Meyer. Take a listen! Next week we have “Thanksgiving Dinner with Ned Reynolds and Art Hains.” We sat down at Nakato Japanese Steakhouse with these two talents and had some wonderful conversation. Plus, wait until you hear the challenge, I gave them and how they responded. Yeah, teaser. Wednesday's from 6:00-7:00 on JOCK 98.7FM!
In this episode, we celebrated the Springfield Area Sports Hall of Fame season and had a plethora of sports figures. We were very grateful for Ebbett's Field in hosting the show and for all of the participants that were willing to join us and play some games on air.
