Elliot.
We'll open up the podcast today.
On a sad note, the passing of Darren attitian from TSN is one that has hit everybody in the industry hard.
He passed away Wednesday at the age of 57, as I mentioned to you on radio on Thursday.
I don't know that I've seen anyone do highlight shows with more energy and enthusiasm for longer than Darren the Titian.
That job, specifically during highlight shows, deep, deep, deep into the morning, is a real grind.
And you always got a sense that he really loved what he was doing, and we loved watching him, Elliot, no question about it.
As I said to you, the most important thing that anyone on air can have is passion.
Because if you are not passionate about the subject that you are talking about, why on earth would the viewer be interested?
That's very important.
Detision was one of the best at it.
He always had such enormous passion, and that's what brought people in.
I didn't know him that well.
Not as well, obviously, as the TSN coworkers did.
57 is way too young.
Way too young.
It's not right, and it's not fair.
I would like to tell one story about detision that actually wasn't an encounter with him, per se, but it was an encounter about him.
And I can't believe I forgot to mention it when I was on your radio show on Thursday, years ago, when I was still dating Steph, I was driving to her house, and we picked up one of her brothers, David, and we were en route, and Jeff, I got pulled over for speeding, which I know is hard to believe if anyone's driven.
Bravo.
