The day before I was in Seattle.

doing the Buccaneers and the Seahawks, and that was a circus.

So back-to-back nights, I never take for granted the NFL seat that I sit in every Sunday and Monday, but to have games like that back-to-back was really an honor.

It was a treat, and I enjoyed both so much.

No, never.

I go back and listen and watch and grade each radio and TV.

And I get more frustrated the more I watch my work.

Of all, I'm the least impressed with my work of anybody.

But I like what I do like is the challenge of getting better.

And even at my age and stage in my career, you know, when I was younger, everything was so new and you sometimes didn't know what road to take and how to fix it.

Now I think I've been around a long time that I can figure out, okay, I know how I messed up on that.

I need to improve this, polish off this area over here.

But I don't know that I've ever walked away and said, yeah.

I usually come back incredibly frustrated the week after the game as I've watched daily what I've done or listened to what I've done on the radio.

And I'm pretty frustrated.

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.
