Yesterday

a film package discussing his tennis life (I never knew he was one of the "Handsome Eight" Aussie players when he was younger.....or honestly that he played professionally at all), his broadcasting career, and kind words about him as a broadcasting colleague, friend, and mentor from A listers like McEnroe, Evert, Navratilova, Cahill, etc., and then they spoke to him live to discuss how influential and kind he was during his years at ESPN.
