Part 11

From what I heard about Dennis was that he came from a family that consisted of All American & Olympic Wrestlers, Pro Football Players and outright tough guys. It took me a bit but I remembered the family name from watching LSU & Pittsburgh games in the early 80's..

Dennis played with all the greats from Pitt, guys like Bill Fralic, Bill Maas, Dan Marino, The Goose & Iron Head just to name a few...

 I still remember the ride to go meet Dennis like it was yesterday, a ride I took with a guy named Joey who was very good friends with Dennis who I met through Mickey at the gym. When we pulled up to this large warehouse located in the slums of Allentown I was thinking to myself... WTF!

 We walked up several flights of stairs through a dark and dingy entrance that lead me to the office were Dennis was working with 2 other guys named Keith and Mark. Dennis was on the phone when I walk in so Joey introduced me to the guys as I waited and we had some small talk before all 3 left me behind sitting in a small room with this huge man who was wearing workout gear and had his back turned to me still talking business to someone about opening an account in Aruba..

 The phone rang while Dennis was still talking and he turned to me and said answer the phone and take a message please so I did, but I did not take a message I made a sale instead. Me making a sale shocked Dennis in a good way especially since I had no idea what I was doing or saying, I just went with the flow of the conversation using a brochure that was located by the phone to help me explain how someone can open up a Sports Betting account with ESB.. (English Sports Betting)

In my next blog I talk about my love/hate relationship with Dennis and how I later became the voice thousands heard daily for scores & odds...
