McGovern's one of the best hosts on the channel and I was wondering why he hasn't been on the air.

Heard him call into the Sat. End Zone show he used to host to give his game picks, and his co-host Pat Kirwan and the substitute host were talking about his recovery. Anyone know what happened to him?

No. I do not know what happened to him, but I also heared about it a few week ago. I like him , he sound like a realy nice guy. I hope he recovers and comes back soon.

Heard from a Sirius employee on another board where I asked about this and learned the following, so I thought I'd pass it along.

Quote:

Many months ago [McGovern] was stricken with this disease (not sure what its called) .. that basically rendered his body completely paralyzed. He couldnt move.. Couldnt talk, walk.. anything except lay in bed and get treatment at a hospital. This happened back in like May or so.. over last few months, August - Sept and now.. he's able to move around, getting his voice back, and is recovering. The process is really slow because he has been inactive for so long.

Nice to hear BMac sounding better on his weekly appearances.
