George Offman joins us right now on the Circus Sports Illinois hotline.

Join us, George, if you will.

It is wonderful to see you and have you.

And George, you were the update guy.

You were the paragon of professionalism.

You stood for the stuffiness in the sports universe.

Whether you wanted to or not, that was part of your role at the very

beginning, wasn't it?

It was, and do you think I was surprised that that wasn't going to be my open?

Of course, you know, that was 32 years ago in May, believe it or not, and people still,

still on social media, referred to the towering line drive.

So one of my calling cards, and you know, you knew that Terry was going to step in.

And it was a great time back then.

And you've explained and stood by.

You continue to stand by the absurdity.

Absolutely.

Not today.

But it's yours.

And Terry gave that to you.

Whether you wanted it or not that's part of

your your id in this town it's amazing um when did you first encounter terry it like before the score

began surely oh of course no i was i started here professionally in 1978 so terry came here
