Good to se the buzz on Jeff Glor. He certainly has the look, sound and intelligence needed to be a major network anchor. I'd predict sooner rather than later....probably before he's 40.

Jeff Glor is all well and good, but I am a fan of Michele Greppi, who was my boss years ago at the Orlando Sentinel. Hi, Michele.

He did a fantastic job over the holidays on the Early Weekend Show and the CBS evening news. Very impressive guy.

He looks good and he talks good--ok talks well. But on his first assignment as anchor of the CBS Weekend Evening News was it really necessary for the network to make him freeze his ass off? I like my anchors to appear comfortable, no matter how bad the news. Anchors=indoors and stationary; everyone else=remotes=whatever the news will bear.

Very impressive news delivery with a warm and friendly touch. I went to Syracuse, too, and am glad to see a fellow Orangeman go all the way. If it was still open I'd buy Jeff a beer in the Orange bar on the SU campus.

Jeff was the only reason I would tune into channel 5 (I'm a #3 girl). I'm glad he made it to the big leagues before the merger of 3&5, but if not, I'm sure I'd still be able to enjoy watching Jeff on 3!
