still thinking about Stacey. for fans who grew up listening to him, he was a massive influence on our love for the game. he wasn’t biased, he gave respect to opponents, but his raw emotions came out when the Bulls had huge plays. we absorbed that.
he added context from his era, too. we knew if Stacey was hype, it was for good reason. we see basketball differently because of him. it’s in our subconscious. we were so spoiled.
I want to reiterate how lucky as a fanbase we were to have him. We’ve all listened to other local broadcast crews. We all know how a boring presentation can alter your enjoyment of the game.
Stacey only ever elevated the experience. He made it look easy. And if you’re someone like me, who talks about sports a lot, he influenced the way we do it.
I credit him as an inspiration for what I do today. The way he always just went for it. Niche references, inside jokes, taking risks just because it was fun. Doing it for nothing else if to make his broadcast partners laugh.
He was a special human being. We could all learn a lot from his legacy.
So weird that the state of Illinois refuses to let the #Bears build a stadium in Illinois.
The #Bears new stadium will only help Illinois…
Local businesses will flourish, million dollar events like concerts, drafts, final fours, & super bowls all in Illinois, more jobs created, transportation and roads improved. Just don’t get why it can’t be done. Frustrating as hell and Indiana is capitalizing on Illinois mistakes.
