Before my Salah and Dable point, I want to tell you guys about a traumatizing experience I had back as a kid growing up at the Valley Stream Pool in the early 80s.

You guys were talking about guys and their hammers before.

When I was a little kid, my mom and dad would drop me off, maybe like 81, 82.

I was probably 10 years old.

We didn't have money for summer camp, so they dropped us off at the pool, and the only direction was don't be an idiot and make sure you shower before you come home.

And the showers were these big open areas, and there would always be two or three old men with their swinging hammers like it was two bocce balls stuffed into a long tube sock.

My friends and I, we didn't want to shower because we didn't want to see this.

Yeah, so this was multiple guys with their swinging hammers.

But anyway, this is what I really wanted to talk about.

Now, these were two guys that weren't just fired.

They were fired in the middle of seasons to the highest level of suck you could achieve as a football coach.

Well, that was an umpire thing, right?

The Jim Joyce thing.

We've got a really tough division.

We've got...

We've got some really good teams and some teams that are getting better.

And he knows they have not been good enough.

And so we win a division.

We can't claim we're at the top.

So we've got to keep going.
