Bob Gretz and I share our loving admiration and feelings to our one-of-a-kind friend,  Danny Israel. For over 30 years Danny was the executive producer of the Kansas City Chiefs Radio network in addition to being on the air and the technological wizard that made the broadcast the best of the NFL. He could fix anything and was proficient in both the left and right parts of the brain. Very few people on planet Earth have that ability. You are about to understand why Bob Gretz coined the phrase, “Danny Israel was a “Super Star.” Because he was in every sense of the word.
