Mike Breen

And there's a gentleman, I'm going to say he's about 35, dressed in a suit, probably came from Wall Street by the looks of it.

And he comes up.

He says, hey, Mike, can I ask you a question?

I said, sure.

He goes, why do you hate the Knicks?

And I said to him, hate the Knicks.

I said, what are you talking about?

He says, listen, I listen.

I come to some games, but I listen all the time.

And you're just killing them.

I said, well, they're like 17 and 50.

Do you want me to say they're playing well?

And he goes, no, no, no, I don't mean that.

He said, but you don't have to hit me over the head with it every possession.

He goes, I'm still watching.

I know they're bad, but I want to watch the rookie and hear, all right, does this rookie have any chance to be any good?

Or is this guy, could he be a piece when we eventually get to be good?

And it was a great lesson from just some guy who's a huge fan, who was a listener that, okay, I'm broadcasting games of a bad team to an audience who's still watching.

And they're watching for a reason, again, because they care so much about the team.

And it showed me, okay, yeah, you have to be critical.
