Rick Stoakley
Rick Stoakley, a true Salisbury native and proud alum of Wicomico High School (Class of ’96), has been a sports fanatic since day one. Whether it was tearing up the field in varsity football, sinking three-pointers on the basketball court, or showing off his skills in soccer, baseball, and golf, Rick was always in the game and in it to win.
After graduating from Salisbury State University in 2000 with a degree in Business Management and a focus on Marketing, Rick brought his passion for sports and savvy business sense to Draper Media in 2008, where he’s been making waves ever since.
But when it comes to fandom, Rick’s heart beats for the Baltimore Ravens and Orioles. A die-hard Ravens fan, he never misses a home game at M&T Bank Stadium—he’s the guy who knows every chant, every stat, and can probably predict the next play.
Rick now calls Delmar, DE home, where he lives with his wife Brittany and their four lovable dogs, Tater, Daphne, Eloise, and Hazel. Whether he’s cheering on the Ravens or Orioles, or just enjoying life on the Eastern Shore, Rick’s enthusiasm for sports and his community is contagious.

With over 25 years of TV & radio experience, Jon Joines is no stranger to the world of sports broadcasting. As a former co-host of the Original Endzone on WTGM, Jon has been delivering hot takes and play-by-play excitement long before it was cool.
Born into a New England Patriots dynasty (or at least he likes to think so), Jon’s love for the Pats started when his grandparents moved to Delaware from Massachusetts in the early 70s. He’s been bleeding red, white, and blue ever since.
But Jon's passion for sports doesn’t stop there—he was a two-time All-American baseball player in college and continues to be an avid sports fan. Whether it's football, baseball, or the annual Thanksgiving backyard game, Jon's competitive spirit is always on display.
And let’s be real: Jon's most controversial (but absolutely correct) take? The Monday after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday. Because who doesn’t need a day off to recover from all that adrenaline and nachos?
