LONNIE TEPER History Lesson

[G_Thang]

What's the story on his IFBB career?  He doesn't own a supplement company or anything, and out of the Blue he has his own Show.  Did he just hang around long enough to get hand-me-downs from the Weiders and Manion.

I've never known Lonnie to have ever competed or do anything outside of being a good commentator. I've only seen him talked about as a commentator, so I take it he's similar to Al Micheal's or Skip Buck for football/baseball, never played but tries to relay stats or the like, and leave the color commentary to John Madden, Tim McCarver or someone else that played. In our "profession" (I use that word reluctantly) there isn't much going on, so you only need one announcer, really.
