re: 680 has laid off John Kincade, Steak Shapiro, and Mark Zinno

I concur on John’s character. I met him in Knoxville about 15 years ago at at Calhouns. A guy I went to was their show producer at the time. We hung out together for a few hours before the game and we met them again after the game, again at Calhouns. John shared his cancer experiences with me during part of the chit chat. Flash forward 5 years later and I was diagnosed with Stage IV Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. I sent John an email and said that I doubt that he would remember me but we hung out at Calhouns a few years back with so and so. I told him that I had just got diagnosed with Lymphoma and that I hope that my outcome was as good as his. This was on a Saturday evening. He emailed me back within an hour and said for me to email him my number because he wanted to talk to me early the next morning when he was done prepping for his Sunday national show. He called at 7:30am and we talked for 30 minutes. He kept calling me back over the next few months until I told him I was in the clear. Never talked to him again after that but that dude didn’t owe me anything to begin with. But I knew the quality of his character from how he invested encouragement to a guy he had met once in his life.
