Steve Hartman: For more than a decade, Hartman has put his stamp on the sports world as a writer, team executive, and broadcaster. With the elaborate photographic memory he possesses and his knowledge of sports, both past and present, is second to none. In fact, he is widely recognized as the "King of Sports Trivia." Hartman has become one of the most recognizable and sought-after national sports personalities during his ten-year run on Xtra Sports. He has become a fixture at all-top sporting events, having covered eight Super Bowls and eight Final Fours. His Loose Cannons Show has been featured nationally on NBC's World News Tonight with Tom Brokaw. Larry Stewart, sports radio/ TV columnist for the Los Angeles Times, called Hartman "a rising star."
