It's the old adage.

If something if I'm going down, I'm going to go down doing it the way that I think is best, not the way some suit in some office in L.A.

But at the end of the day, we're the guys and gals behind the microphone and it's our reputations, you know, and people sometimes overlook that part of it, that you got to be you be the best version of you and the rest will take care of itself, I think.

Well, the paycheck isn't too shabby.

I agree.

There's no heavy lifting.

But, you know, I love what I do.

You know, there's the old saying, you know, pick something you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

And that's really true.

I'm not a great musical impresario, so I'm not going to make money as a rock guitarist.

I'm not good at math, so I'm not going to work at NASA.

uh i can barely balance a checkbook um and so this is the skill set that i was given you know whatever the good lord did when he tapped me on the shoulder when i was born this is what i can do i can say ground ball a second and make it fun and entertaining for people for three hours a day uh i never lose sight of that um but you know i i uh i say to my partners all the time um

Once a month at least, when things are going bad or even when they're going good too, obviously, can you believe they pay us to do this?

David Hill, with whom I worked with Fox Sports, he was the guy that ran Fox Sports when they got baseball back in the early 90s, came into a conference room one day and said something I've never forgotten.

And he said, don't ever forget this.

We live and work in life's sandbox.
