I mean, that's why I got into the business, because I love calling the game, and I love broadcasting, but I want to have fun.

I want to have a good time.

And I think Stacey, when he got into this industry, he replaced a legend in Johnny Red Kerr.

And I mean, and Stacey understood that and revered Johnny Red Kerr, as we all did.

And Neil, I think, made Stacey a better broadcaster because they gelled.

Well, number one, he loved his family, his boys, loved his boys, and talked about them quite a bit because of the heart he had for family.

And he loved talking about the city of Chicago.

He loved the Bulls.

And he loved talking music.

He loved talking about current events.
