That's awesome Bert! I had a similar experience (although mine was not in person) when I heard Marvin Gaye's rendition before the 1983 nba all-star game. It rocked my world and remains my favorite rendition, along with Jose's

I loved Marvin. His voice made you feel like you knew him, like you were on a first name basis with him, and it’s tragic how he died. It makes me sad.

Isn't it a bit strange that Benetti and NBC is a story already? We've always had speculation in the press and an online about potential free agent signings. Trades. Manager firings and hirings. Even rumours about broadcast rights deals. But speculation of who might get a PBP gig? Is Benetti's PR man working overtime or get paid by each X/Twitter mention?

No. It wouldn't affect his Tigers gig, and it makes perfect sense that NBC would be trying to lock up its announcers for the new deal.

I wonder what else Benetti would do under this potential NBC deal. Would he end up in a Tirico-light gig, working the Sunday night games and occasional other NBC-related broadcasts? They have NBA now. I assume this would mean the end of his NFL and college football duties that he did for Fox. 
 

Seems like the NBC stuff might fit better and have less overlap than what he currently has via FOX.

Jack White's halftime show with Eminem on Thanksgiving was great

I wonder what Kendrick Lamar thought of it. 😏

Gotta give credit to this gentleman. Soprano sax is not easy to play especially if you're 104

Watching Jason announce Arizona v Kansas State in Big 12 play on FS1. Basketball is a pretty fast-paced game and there’s not much time for Jason‘s witticisms to take flight. He can do it all.

I love his voice and after listening to him on Tigers broadcasts, whenever I hear him anywhere it feels like I’m home.

It’s the Wildcats versus the Wildcats. I’m really happy for this man’s success. He’s a joy to listen to.

“Bear Down“ Arizona, as we Tucsonans say. And even though I haven’t lived there in 38 years that’s where my formative development took place. A part of me still considers it home.
