Chuck "The King" Oliver

Chuck Oliver is one of the toughest things to find in this city — a born-and-raised, true Atlanta native. After graduating from Central Gwinnett in 1986, Chuck then attended Auburn University, where he earned his degree in English and began teaching and coaching football.

In 1992 Chuck was hired at South Gwinnett as defensive line coach. During his five-year tenure at South nine different linemen received scholarships, playing everywhere from Auburn to Georgia Southern, from Georgia Tech to Eastern Kentucky. At the age of 29, he “retired” to become a full-time writer and author, penning three books and literally hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles and feature pieces.

In August 2000, AM 790 in Atlanta set about to find the city’s most knowledgeable college football authority and out of hundreds of applicants . . . they selected Chuck. It wasn’t long before the Saturday college football show became Saturdays and Sundays, then a Monday through Friday show during mid-days and finally afternoon drive talking college football in the nation’s 7th largest market.

After anchoring that show, Chuck was offered the chance in 2008 to join 680 The Fan and didn’t hesitate. He and Matt Chernoff now have the most fact-filled, most fun and definitely most quirky four hours on Atlanta sports radio every Monday through Friday from 3pm – 7pm.

Additionally, Chuck was Comcast Sport Southeast’s ACC football expert for 10 seasons, as well as providing color commentary for seven years for the Conference USA “Game of the Week” televised across 11 states each Saturday during football season. He also spent four years as the SEC expert on the post-game show for CBS’ national game of the week, while also providing color analysis on the official radio broadcast for eight Chick-fil-A Peach Bowls. Additionally, Chuck logged 13 years on the selection committee for the bowl game and is also a voting member for the College Football Hall of Fame. Not forgetting his high school coaching roots, Chuck spent five years co-hosting the CSS production “In the Huddle,” a weekly high school football show seen from Louisiana to Mobile and Miami up to North Carolina. He has been nominated for four Emmys.

Chuck currently lives in Sandy Springs with his wife Kristen and, occasionally, Tiger the neighborhood cat who visits just to get fed.

Tom Glavine: Mondays @ 3:30pm

Glavine attended Billerica Memorial High School and was two-sport, All-Star athlete in hockey and baseball. Upon graduation, Glavine was drafted by both the Atlanta Braves (Second round) and Los Angeles Kings (Fourth round).

Good thing for the fans in Atlanta that Tom chose to stick with baseball!

Glavine made stops in Bradenton, Sumter, Greenville and Richmond before he got the call to the bigs on August 17, 1987. One start later, Glavine recorded his first win at the expense of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The rest, as they say is history.

Tom Glavine Baseball cardFrom 1997 through 2002, Glavine was one of the Braves most successful pitchers of all time racking up two Cy Young Awards, 5 seasons of 20 or more wins and four Silver Slugger Awards (Proving he is a pitcher that CAN hit too!). The crowning achievement of his career was being named World Series MVP for his 8-inning, one-ruin performance against the Cleveland Indians in Game 6 of the 1995 World Series.

In 2002, Glavine signed as a free agent with the New York Mets where he spent the next 5 seasons. While a Met, Glavine recorded his 300th career victory and became just the 23rd pitcher to achieve that feat!

Glavine returned to the Braves in November of 2007 where he finished his baseball career as a pitcher.

After five seasons with the Mets, Glavine became a free agent in November 2007 and returned to the Braves, signing a one-year deal. For the next two years, Glavine spent time on and off the disabled list until he announced his retirement on February 11th, 2010. He then accepted a position with the Braves as a special assistant to team president John Schuerholz.

Glavine appears in both the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame (Inducted 2010) and the MLB Hall of Fame (Inducted 2014). He was a first-ballot inductee receiving 91.9% of the votes!

Currently, Tom Glavine can be heard every Friday on 680 The Fan’s “Cellini & Dimino.”. Tom gives listeners his all-star take on the news and happenings in the Major Leagues.
