(With all due respect to @Wargarbl 's take on the life of Chuck Gerber, I think they're not exactly right by my recollection, which is; ) He was credited with popularizing the skins game in golf, basically the sport's answer to the complaint it's fun to play but boring as fuck to watch. He also was lucky to be involved in that right around the time the era's most marketable star was running roughshod over the rest of the sport's contenders and drawing in a new set of fans to expand the games popularity in the modern era of broadcasting it. Then he set up the classic sports network that was acquired by ESPN to become the channel ESPNClassic, aka, replays of great moments in sports history for oldfags. Cord cutting and streaming gaining popularity a decade earlier would have made that "invention" just as useless then as it has as of now, but yet again, timing is everything in business sometimes and pops Gerber was always just ahead of the posse coming to ruin his plans. Until the harpy dug her claws into his cuck-son at least showing he had lost a step.
His dad has been dead for like two years now.
Winnekta, in that area, costs the same as your average replacement location in Los Angeles county. It will cost less than living in say Beverly Hills on average but it's not a place to cut costs at compared to the rest of the 65% or so other places they could be located at right now.
I could quote some articles about his involvement in ESPNU and college football, but the likelihood here is that Chuck had a long, storied career in sports media and both of our attributions are correct.
Basically, Chuck was a big swinging dick at ESPN, and Jackson is his harpy wife's least favorite husband and pretty much nothing else.
