Jeff Weinberger, a fixture in the market for five decades, was a sports radio talk show host and the best. Jeff
was known for his passion detailing local high school recruiting, a topic he frequently discussed on his shows.
A White Station High and then-Memphis State University graduate, Jeff served as a host on multiple stations through the years, including WHBQ-AM 560 and recently 730 Yahoo! Sports Radio, where he co-hosted with Big Jack Eaton, also with Bill Moore.
Before joining Moore for the show on 730 Yahoo! Sports Radio, Weinberger co-hosted 'The Press Box' on WHBQ-AM 560 with Will Askew. Askew called Weinberger "a Memphis treasure."
While at Memphis State in the early 1970s, Weinberger was a member of the college newspaper's staff and chronicled the rise of the men's basketball program under coach Gene Bartow. The Tigers played in the 1973 NCAA championship game against UCLA.
For the last 35 to 40 years, Jeff has been a fixture around Tiger athletics and our events. During Jeff's free time he enjoyed going to Destin, FL., and would often be reconize on the pier fishing, it was his favorite thing to do besides his talk show. He had so many fishing memories, it was difficult for him to chose his favorite. Jeff always had a love for fishing, it started when he was very young and most were centered around his grandfather taking him. As he became adult he continue that love and I would often go with him. Making sweet memories! We fished in freshwater, saltwater, and the briny mixture of the two: brackish water. We fished in canals, lakes, channels, shallow flats, the emerald-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the gator-filled swamps of The Florida Everglades, and the midnight-blue depths of the Atlantic Ocean. We fished at the crack of dawn, in the broiling heat of the noon sun, at twilight when the smell of dinner was in the air, and in the inky blackness of night. We didn't care we would still fish.
We caught bass, bluegill, snook, mahi-mahi (dolphinfish), trout, tarpon, sailfish, grouper, mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, red snapper, bonefish, shark, kingfish, blackfin tuna, bonito, amberjack, wahoo, cobia, pompano, barracuda, catfish, and more. I am so grateful for the memories I made with him. Jeff was also a dovoted cat lover, he had two cats Susu and Tabitha that he adored. Both had already passed away, I'm sure they are with him. He was also a voracious reader, lover of music, he loved life. Jeff was a wonderful man, he was kind, compassionate and a true gentleman, he was so loved! Jeff, I never got to say, goodbye to you, and I will always hate that. So I hold on to the day when I will get to say hello again in heaven. Thank you for all the memories you gave to me throughout my life. I will be forever changed because of who you are to me. I love you always, janet
