Maybe just I've got this

catalog in my mind where these words will come up when they when they come up, but

I don't know where they come from.

I don't know how it comes out.

And I'm probably best not knowing that because if I looked at it too intricately, I'd probably begin to overthink it and it wouldn't come out because in play-by-play, that stuff has got to come out.

You cannot think about how that all transpires.

But I do appreciate someone like you, a writer,

at heart has come out, and I'm glad that, because I've not had a lot of people that have said it, and because no one's ever said it, I've never really thought about it, but I do, going back watching my games, I'll think, that word worked there, that word may, I don't know, I mean, there's some words that do and some that don't, and you use them and you move on, because there's so many words that are used, of course, in a broadcast.

I've got it pegged.

I have not read it yet, but I've got it pegged.

I didn't bat an eye.

I went right into it.

I grabbed the pan.

I had the spork.

You know, the thing, and again, it's got to be one of those plays, and the best plays sometimes for that kind of description are ones that unfold.

Like I was saying, I was talking to a journalism class the other day, and I said, you know, it's interesting, you always hear ballplayers talk about

when the pitch comes in, you're in such a zone and you're in such a sweet spot of your focus and concentration that you can literally see the rotation of the ball and the seams on the ball

And George Brett would say that all the time when he was at the height of his powers.

And you hear Brady talk about when he would drop back and quarterback, the great ones always say things were in slow motion.

Manning would say, I could see the cross before the guy made the cut.
