And I've always thought of that.
And I guess I just feel like
I think the days in our business of trying to be the Edward R. Murrow of a game, that probably doesn't resonate anymore.
People need to find some electricity, I think, and warranted, not just manufactured, but when it really matters.
And I guess I'm such a fan.
I love the game.
I love college and pro and certainly love pro football.
But the NBA is full of such circus like unbelievable.
Did you just see what happened type of moments that I don't know how.
If you're a fan of the game, you can't have some just real emotion like pour out of you.
And again, I've been kind of guided by that principle.
I mean, if I see a pass to like maybe the average fan that doesn't realize how hard it was with what was surrounding the ball handler and where we got that ball at the split second it had to be there,
for that play to develop and happen, I just find that like art.
I just love coaches when they make a move that you can see and our analysts will explain.
I love a great defensive play.
I love these things that happen in the game.
And I think sometimes you've got to make them aware.
People will say, how could you get so excited in the first quarter for a game that goes four quarters and may have another two hours left?
And my answer is an incredible play needs to be appreciated at any time.
Clearly, it has more effect late in the game because it has more of an impact on the outcome of the game.
