So at the top of my boards, like I've got the Packers and Bengals this week, my scoring sheet, I'll put my points of emphasis on trying to improve on what I missed on the week before.
That doesn't sound very joyful.
I know it's not.
It's not.
I'm sure when you were writing columns, it took a lot of look and maybe stepping away and getting back and jotting notes or waking up and thinking of an idea to insert in there.
And that's kind of how it is with the broadcast.
I think that because it happens, then you've got some time to reflect on it.
It becomes more an exercise of evolving, improving, meeting the challenge.
How can it be better?
And I try to listen in different ways.
I listen as I'm marking off on a sheet that I've got where I try to keep track of what I say or don't say and then just listen as a fan might listen neutrally.
And and.
And it becomes, you know, the more I listen, the more frustrated I get.
So sometimes I got to step away and try to figure out how I'm going to get better.
But I like if you love something, I think you're constantly trying to improve and evolve and get better.
And I know in this business, which is incredibly competitive, that if you don't,
you'll find there are a slew of young, incredibly talented broadcasters right there chasing you.
So you want to be ahead of the posse a little bit, I think, the older you get and trying to stay current and on top of your game.
Who's the young one you hate the most?
