Buzzer beaters are great, clearly.

You can set them up and the shot speaks for itself.

But all of it is a challenge, and I'm just grateful I'm in a... I'm grateful that I have found a profession that gives me so much impetus to continually improve, regardless of what stage I'm at in my career.

Just, I think sometimes...

Whether it's creatively or with me, it's probably more cadence and pace and just how they may call a big, like if I didn't like a touchdown call or whatever, or a last second made shot, I say, you know what, that just didn't really work.

So, like, I'll pay particular attention to what Joe or Sean or Mike, you know, these are all my contemporaries.

These are all friends.

But like how they may handle it, I think we're all kind of learning from each other, perhaps.

Maybe.

I don't know.

But I do from them because I think they're all so gifted and talented and have such a feel for the moment.

I love the way they broadcast and talk.

And just how they may handle a moment.

And if I get, say, you know what, I don't feel like my touchdown call early in a game, middle of the game, late in the game, whatever it might be, it has the right tone to it or feel, whatever.

And so then I'll say, you know, next time I listen to Joe or Mike or Sean, that moment may come up in their broadcast and how they'll handle it.

I don't copy.

I don't tell kids to copy unless they're really young and trying to develop their voice as I did when I was like 10, 11, 12 years old.

But those guys always seem to have a pretty good answer.

And I just respect them so much.

And sometimes I might even dig in the tape in Summerall and Stockton
