Speaker 1: On a very very sad note. Those of us in
Speaker 1: the industry got hit pretty hard the other day because
Speaker 1: we've learned of the passing of mister Greg Gumble. Greg Gumble,
Speaker 1: the brother of Bryant Gumble, one of the greatest sports
Speaker 1: broadcasters this industry has ever known. Greg in his own right,
Speaker 1: was phenomenal. He did it all doing games for various networks,
Speaker 1: most notably CBS as of late NFL games, Colleges, Final four,
Speaker 1: Final Fours, the list goes on and on. He lost
Speaker 1: his battle to cancer. For me personally, it's something that
Speaker 1: always hits home. Obviously, anytime I hear about somebody losing
Speaker 1: their battle concert to cancer, I automatically think about my mom,
Speaker 1: and there's a level of sadness that it's just there
Speaker 1: that just won't go anywhere. There are times that I
Speaker 1: ask myself, considering all the money that has been generated
Speaker 1: for cancer research, considering the existence of radiation, chemotherapy and
Speaker 1: things of that nature, just wondering when we're gonna find
Speaker 1: a cure, when we're gonna beat this. So many people fight,
Speaker 1: and they fight valiantly, doing all that they can to
Speaker 1: extend their lives to eradicate this disease from their body,
Speaker 1: and time after time after time we come up short,
Speaker 1: and all we can do, all we're left doing is
Speaker 1: the mourn the losses of loved ones, people who were pioneers,
Speaker 1: who had a profound impact on industries, who affected the
Speaker 1: lives of millions in such a positive and a profound way.
Speaker 1: All you can do is reflect on their contribution to
Speaker 1: society and say thank God for them. And because they
Speaker 1: were here and they did so much, you know in
Speaker 1: your heart, you feel in your soul that they're in
Speaker 1: a better place. It's the only solace that exist, at
Speaker 1: least for me personally, when it comes to hearing such
Speaker 1: news like this. I'm really sorry. My condolences go out
Speaker 1: to the Gumble family, to Brian Gumble, who I know personally,
Speaker 1: and their old family as all. What can you say,
Speaker 1: Great Gumble gone but not forgotten and never will be
Speaker 1: dead at the age of seventy eight,
