Remembering @Stacey21King... His @CHSN_Bulls teammate and fellow former @chicagobulls player @KendallG13 reflects on the tremendous and tragic loss of Stacey King. @cbschicago
I was not personally close to @Stacey21King but every time we connected he made feel like his best friend. That warm & welcoming spirit is part of what made Stacey an incomparable analyst. He entertained & educated with comedy & class. Thanks for the Hot Sauce Brother! Rest well!
Caught up with @IlliniFootball Head Coach @BretBielema ahead of #Illini Night at Wrigley. He’s singing the 7th Inning Stretch (with Matthew Bailey) for the 6th time. @cbschicago
I'm absolutely crushed. Spencer Leak Jr. did so much for so many with an absoulute pure heart of gold. I'm so glad I had the chance to talk and thank him for his selfless and sincere service. My condolences and love to the entire Leak family.
