And one guy took the buyout.

And evidently, that wasn't enough.

So then they have to make a decision.

And I was the decision.

So again,

The Sun Sentinel, when I went there, and Dan, at the start of your career, and Greg, and you were in the prime, it was, we had 29 people, you know, in the sports department.

Right now there's eight.

So that tells you what's happened to newspapers.

Well, there were a lot of events that moved me.

The great thing about this job is you get to meet excellence.

You meet the Pat Riley at the top of his career.

You meet Jimmy Johnson and get to know him or a Don Shula or

I did a book with Dan Marino, too.

So you get to meet and ask questions that other people just don't get to ask and get to know these guys in a way.

And to me, it was always how's excellence work, you know, and experience.

you know, attention to detail of the Pat Riley's or the thinking big of Riley's or Jimmy Johnson, just thinking completely different.

And that was the best part of it to me, other than...

um the people you meet in the press box you know and that and that's that was always part of the fun but you know i was thinking before i came on here i finally got on the levitard show i finally did it and that was that's a career achievement it just took me fire yes usually it's hello then goodbye this time it was goodbye then hello

And vice versa to you guys.

You know, I started at the Herald, and Greg's desk was right next to mine, and I would watch him.
