Congratulations @ClarksonsFarm1 and @JeremyClarkson on another wonderful season. My mom grew up on a farm and she had a great sense of humor and I’m thankful I was able to introduce her to your show before she passed. Thanks for the gift you’ve given all of us.

@DriXander @IsabelMMiller I appreciate your kind thoughts. Thanks. Somebody said she will live on in the best of me. I would say the same for all my family.

Again, I ask why no radio or television outlet in Chicago who brings on Marc Ganis has noted that he's worked hand-in-hand with the NFL for years, to the point where you can easily find multiple articles on him being nicknamed "The 33rd Owner." He's not some independent expert!
