And Joe said, well, I make a comment and then I couch it a bit.
And John said, I say what I say and I walk away.
And I'm thinking to myself,
And we have great NBC people who are guiding me, said, don't couch it, be yourself, be yourself, be the person you were when you competed.
And when I competed, I may have come off as kind and nice, I may have been affable publicly, but I was ruthless behind the scenes, especially with myself.
And there was no there was it was binary.
It was zero or one.
I either did it correctly or I did it incorrectly.
And so for me publicly to be able to speak to an error or a misplay or perhaps even a lack of effort, I have to be myself and speak.
Hey, that came up short.
I just have to do it in such a way that I don't burn a bridge.
as i've taken a couple years off i think is it's the best thing that happened to me to realize first of all how lucky the athlete is you know that we get the opportunity to compete on a stage make fantastic money and it's a complete disconnect from reality and the average fan does not they don't they don't they want that for us they don't hate us for that but
They want accountability.
And I think that with distance, I realized we are here to serve the fans.
And the best way I can possibly serve the fans in this role is by making sure that I'm speaking the truth that I see and not being apologetic.
And I think I'm going to be good at that.
Yeah, I can't say who was or was not cheating because I have an attorney, but I'm going to keep my fees at a minimum, right?
But I will say there are clearly some guys, and it's a subjective vote.
Of course, the Hall of Fame is gatekept by the writers, and they have every right to allow or disallow whoever they want.
But there's clearly two athletes and then the tier below that aren't allowed in.
