Sid Hartman (born March 15, 1920) is a longtime sports journalist for the Minneapolis "Star Tribune" and the WCCO 830 AM radio station. He is known for his wide range of insider contacts in the sports world, and also for his coarse and, to some, abrasive personality, and a reputation for name dropping. These attributes have led him to be loved by some, but often criticized by other Minnesota sports fans. Wikipedia
