It's great to see this energy.It is uplifting to a person like me. It is too bad we do not have the chief also participating.You guys at the News Gazette/ WDWS radio station really bring a great positive/exciting perspective to area sports. Do not sell yourselves short. You guys are the best!!!!!!!!

Loren knows more about IL sports than pretty much the sum of everyone else. Give the guy a break. If he is healthy, and he wants to, let him do what he does quite well.

I hope Loren never retires! He is the man!

While I enjoy most of the work that WDWS and the News-Gazette do, is it really the job of news organization to bring a positive perspective? Their job is to provide information and opinion and if it's positive, great. But if there's news of a negative nature, don't try and purposely spin it.
