And you kind of get used to those kinds of things emerging during the week of preparation.

You're a Jayhawk fan and a Packer fan, correct?

Well, I went to Kansas, University of Kansas, and then grew up as a ball boy for the Packers.

And when I was a ball boy, when I was 10, 11, 12 years old, I used to sneak up into the press box at Lambeau Field and recreate imaginary games during the lunch hour to an empty stadium and an empty field.

And so every time I get in that press box, I think of how lucky, like if you'd have told me at that age,

that my career would have had this kind of grouping of games and employers and time in the business, I would have said, you've got to be kidding me.

So that is a special place for me, for sure.

We're actually about 100 miles north of Green Bay, where we spend some time every year, and that's where we are right now.

So I'll drive to the game on Sunday and drive back afterwards.

No, it's singular for sure, and one I never take lightly every time I go in there to do a game.

My dad was the president and CEO of the Packers for 21 years, and he was the one who initiated the rebuild of Lambeau.

and to what it is kind of today.

And then it was carried on with the people that have followed him and done such a magnificent job.

But there's a sense of pride when I walk in that stadium and see what he had accomplished in his two decades running the organization.

The only other time, I guess, Dan, I feel that is the Super Bowl.

When we broadcast the Super Bowl, it's thinking of the people that have been in that seat

Jack Buck, Lindsay Nelson, Don Crickey, Jim Simpson, Marv.

To sit in that seat and wear that headset and call that game is about as special a moment as you can have.

I never take that lightly.

I'm full of appreciation and gratitude when I sit there and get a chance to do that big game.
