Green Bay Packers radio play-by-play announcer Wayne Larrivee and his 1987 Chevy Blazer put on some miles together, including a particularly memorable trip to Green Bay in December of 1996.
He was working as the voice of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Bears at the time. He had been in San Antonio, Texas, doing a Bulls-Spurs game, flew home that night with the team and then had to make the drive to Green Bay the next morning for the Bears broadcast from Lambeau Field.
His dad was in town for a visit, so he rode along, as did Larrivee’s oldest son, Scott.
