Need to know something about Brad Daugherty? Here it is

CavsNews.com, a Web site devoted to news about the Cleveland Cavaliers pro basketball team, has what appears to be a complete biography of Brad Daugherty, the UNC Tar Heel big man from Black Mountain who went on to play for Cleveland. These days, he’s doing some color commentary for NASCARS and maintains a home in Buncombe County.

The exhaustive history of Brad’s life, which includes a ton of newspaper articles and books as sources, even quotes our own John Doyle. Yes, John Doyle, Citizen-Times columnist:

Brad walked out of our lives and into the business world. According to a recent interview conducted by John Doyle, Citizen-Times (Asheville) reporter, Brad:

[… is] part-owner of five car dealerships outside Cleveland, owns part of a racing team, works every week as a NASCAR analyst for ESPN, speaks to corporations and groups around the country — and, oh yeah, he’s also in the garbage business.

“I don’t think anyone can outwork us,” Daugherty said with a smile, referring to Swannanoa-based Daugherty Waste & Trucking. “We’ll come get your garbage at midnight, if that’s what it takes. In fact, we’ve got some accounts, some restaurants, where we do pick up their recycling late at night.”
