As a Chicago fan, I thought John was a show off and mean person, I was very very wrong. John Sterling is a magnificent kind and honest gentleman. He loves life, all people and God. After viewing some interviews I was greatly moved and was saddened when he retired. I hope John has several more years to broadcast this magnificent program. Thank you John for continuing to educate entertain and share your thoughts and prayers with us. God Bless you and thank you for leaving a rich legacy.
What a wonderful gentleman. A true national treasure
