Giff Nielsen's ear hair plus Babe Laufenberg's speech impediment

Two interesting stories concerning CBS 11 sports anchors who were former NFL quarterbacks.  The twist is one works in Houston at Channel 11, the other in Dallas.

In a round about way, The Houston Chronicle's David Barron found out that KHOU sports anchor Giff Nielsen trims his ear hairs while reporting a story about KPRC Channel 2 now airing newscasts in high definition.  I hope that makes sense, I put in a long day at work before writing this.

Next Ray Buck at the Fort Worth Star Telegram revealed that KTVT sports anchor Babe Laufenberg had a speech impediment before going into television news and how he overcame it. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
