DAVE'S PICK OF THE DAY: My daily free plays can now be found at: cokin.wordpress.com
Join Dave Cokin weekdays from Noon-3pm on ESPN Radio 1100!
Congrats to the 2004 and 2006 Nevada Sportscaster of the Year, as voted by the National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association! Dave has been a radio/TV fixture in Las Vegas as well as nationally since the mid 1980's. Dave has co-hosted sports shows with such luminaries as Pete Rose, Bill Raftery, Matt Guokas and Dick Versace, just to name a few. Cokin is a featured columnist in several national publications and is regularly in demand as a gaming insider on numerous sports talk shows throughout the land.
No wonder Dave Cokin was tagged by noted author Martin Mendelsohn as the "Ted Williams of the sports service industry." Perhaps the only difference is that Dave occasionally tips his cap.
When he's not in the studio, you can catch him in front of the tube or at Cafe Mastrioni.
