I like how he ripped into the format of local news.

As a soundbyte for his radio show, Leahey, in response to a television station’s promotion of having two weather reports, quipped, “Now, I’m in special class.”

I hope he comes out of semi-retirement and joins Jackson Wheeler and Jeff Portnoy on “Hoops Talk”.

Anyone got a favorite “Jim Leahey one-liner”? One of my favorites is a funny one-liner he had about a UH center fielder: “He owns center field so much he could build a high-rise out there”…LOL….

I used to sit with him at the Honolulu Quarterback Club luncheon back when it was at the old Flamingo Chuckwagon on Kapiolani Blvd. Mr. Leahey would regale us with funny sports stories. They guy should write a book. Have a terrific retirement Mr. Leahey!

yes, jim leahey was, is and will always be he best. like his father chuck, he had a knack for embellishing the broadcasts with “localism” and made it interesting for his audience. yes, he was a homer but we loved it. after all, the home team is the best. really enjoyed the years and will miss your broadcasts tremendously. have a great retirement and god bless you.
