 “No, to me, means maybe or later. There is no such thing as no!” – Ian Fitzimmons

Ian Fitzsimmons was the one kid on the farm that told his family that he wanted to do radio growing up. And Mom told him to do it.

Since then, Fitzsimmons’ steady climb has included shows in his home state of Louisiana, Alabama and Texas. And now, he’s a regular for ESPN Radio.

From stories of working sidelines for big college football games to the sports talk topic tree, and more, Fitzsimmons hits on all of it in this episode of the PASR.
