There is absolutely no stopping Kenny McReynolds. He will not quit. The Chicago sportscasting legend has had 45 operations, numerous bouts with cancer, and even died (according to Kenny) and was brought back to life in 2017. He shares with Jeanne what drives him to never give up, the song he plays each morning to celebrate the day ahead; why he’s always giving back; why he will never forgive former President Jimmy Carter for boycotting the Olympic Games in 1980; and the words of wisdom he learned from Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton.
