Jim Donovan

Number one, Texas.

We all, Jim Donovan said it earlier, right? Everybody knows who the most popular player on a football team is.

It's your number two quarterback at your backup.

And a lot of us have been wanting to see Whit Neubauer, number 16, big, tall, lanky youngster that started his career at Mercer in Macon, Georgia.

Monday, yeah.

And I used to call Jimmy Donovan, Doug Deacon, and you know who I liked on there? He's probably one of the better beat writers of the Plain Dealer, Tony Grozy.

And I liked Deacon.

He was from Illinois.

And away we went.

Jim Donovan said, all right, let's see what you got, kid.

He did.

It was great.

Go ahead.

And the Jim Donovan tie.

I wore my tie from Jim.

Of course, the Jim Donovan tie as well.

So you have all of these things.

I think a lot of people did, by the way, which is cool to see.

He was awesome.

And the thing that I'll share is, you know, We all miss Jim Donovan so much.

Jim Donovan is smiling down right now about this.

Jim Donovan absolutely loved Nick Chubb.

He was his favorite player on the Browns without question.

You know, think of all the iconic calls running into the river, you know, Chubba Wubba Hub.

He loved Nick Chubb.

And so to me, I'll be able to kind of tie that together and get some joy knowing that, you know, Jim Donovan is going to be smiling down knowing that his guy, Nick Chubb, is going to get to retire as a Brown.

I've made mention of the fact that it's no secret.

Anybody who's listened to the broadcast, Nick Chubb was Jim Donovan's favorite player ever, and he's certainly smiling down with this happening here today, appropriately so.

it's just a it was very cool and guy still looks like it's great ready to go he's a he's now an avid golfer

that's awesome

Cincinnati, yeah.

Yeah.

So one of the things that is obviously special and very personal to me is getting to be in the booth with Jim Donovan.

And Jim Donovan loved you,
