Send us a text
Who was Bob Delaney as a child? Learn about Bob as an athlete. Why he decided to take the NJ Trooper exam in 1972 and how he was chosen to go undercover? What sports taught him that he could use undercover and how he earned the trust of the mafia guys? We speak about the times his cover was almost blown and the wires that were placed. The stress of being undercover and having a threat made on his life after the undercover was over.
How Bob was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the number of the times he denied it and how he came to grips with it? Can PTSD affect someone indirectly along with symptoms to know? Being a NBA referee in large arenas with a threat on your life, his road to becoming a NBA referee and if wearing uniform #26 had any significance.
The demands of being a NBA referee, a story about how the NBA and Bob made an impact on firefighters and policeman during 9/11 and finally how long it took for him to get back to normal.
