Now the game begins.
It's like the first time you become an all-star, right?
Well, the pressure now is the second time you become an All-Star, not the first time.
And just that first time where you get recognized and it's like, okay, it's on.
I watched every single SportsCenter I did right after I did SportsCenter.
And I was looking for the things I didn't do well or didn't do right.
I was looking for subtle nuance.
How did I look?
How did I sound?
Timing, timing of, you know, with a home run, not getting in the way of a high line, you know, all this stuff, all this stuff.
So, no, I did not appreciate it because I was maniacal and I didn't want somebody to take my job.
And Keith had the great line one time, I mean, I'm really grinding after every, right after the show, I walk right into the control room, I get the big tape, I go upstairs and I go through the entire show.
And Keith walks by at one point and he says, you got the fucking job.
And then he kept walking.
And it helped me relax.
I would time it out.
If Greg Maddux threw a pitch and Bonds was going to hit a home run, I wanted that ball to get to the bat.
It had to get to the bat.
And then I'd go, gone.
I wanted to have the timing of it.
