Cabral 'Cabbie' Richards hosts CABBIE PRESENTS, a weekly segment airing Fridays on SportsCentre and appearing with special bonus video here at tsn.ca/cabbiepresents.
Known for his unique take on sports broadcasting and interviewing, Cabbie pokes fun at sports headlines and high-profile athletes and sports personalities.
Cabbie is best known for his popular interviews with L.A. Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant. During their odd-couple four-year relationship, he went from trying to get an invite to the "Casa de Bryant" – prompting answers from Bryant such as, "Sure, it's 8 Out of Your Mind Avenue" to scoring an invitation on Bryant's private helicopter.
Throughout his sports broadcasting career, Cabbie has also interviewed a slate of big-name athletes including Michael Jordan, Alexander Ovechkin, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Shaun White and Tony Hawk.
You can follow Cabral on his official Twitter page @TheRealCabbie. Also, follow Cabbie Presents Producer David Krikst on his official Twitter page at @MyManDK.
And keep coming back to this page in the coming weeks for Cabbie's SportsCentre features, exclusive video and photo galleries from his reports.
