New Day with SSJ

You can look at it as a stiff cup of coffee, or a good ol' wedgie. Any way you see it, New Day with SSJ starts the morning with a lighter side of the sports world. Sure, host Steven St. John will dive into the X's and O's, and engineer Jake Gutierrez will bring local and national guests onto the show daily. But they also will spike your drink and go from Norm Stewart to Stewie on the "Family Guy" in 4.2 seconds. Don't miss the insight - and antics - on New Day with SSJ, weekdays from 6 to 10 am.
