Tony Kornheiser said this to me once, and I'll clean it up for this family podcast. He said, how come you talk to those effing people And, of course, he did it with the Long Island accent. And you can't explain it. I mean, Tony, you don't have to talk to them. You pontificate. You used to have a show in Washington where you got James Carville and all these muckety-mucks around the table.
And then you used to sit around with Wilbon and O'Pine for 30 minutes and— And don't laugh. I saw you co-hosting that show yesterday. Guilty.
I love it. And I feel like whenever they take me away, I hear the barbarians at the gate right this moment. That will be my legacy. It won't be yelling at Stephen A. Smith or Greenberg or anyone else.
I... I thought that was the line of the year, and I was not surprised at all that the next morning on ESPN, they edited that out, knowing that Whoopi was probably watching, and I think she's employed by the family too.
I think the view should have both of us on after this is published, and let the group hear that call.
Well, I knew there was a story behind Legend. Legend was part of a group called Sons of Sabin. Sounds like one of those groups in New York that go around and keep the law.
So we had lunch, and I said, Legend, what's the deal? I know you've alluded to your past. And he looked at me, he said, there's nothing to run away from. He said, I've been to prison. I said, okay. Couldn't really counter that by saying, well, so have I. I said, what were you in for? He said, murder.
That day at lunch, when he was telling me the story, I said, so what exactly do you do, legend? He said, I'm an electrician. He said, and by the way, if you or your wife ever need any, and I started thinking, maybe I got to get to know this guy a little bit better. But today, I would give him the keys to my house.
Not only that, Pablo, I mean, he's... He's a genuinely good person. He helps a lot of people. And I think a lot of people hear him on the show. Plenty of people have had problems, as you well know. And they go, I can, I'll try to say this with a straight face. I can be legend. I mean, he is. He's a personification of what our show is all about.
A guy that probably should be dead, but now he's a famous Feinbaum caller.
Oh, he gave an impassioned speech that day on our program, Pablo.
Somebody called in off the air and said that they were thinking about killing someone that day. It was a guy, I think it was in Philadelphia, that he'd had some run-in with a guy down the street, and he'd gone back to get his gun, and somehow he thought of what legend had said.
Yeah, well, I mean, let's forget saving mankind. Let's get to the important things right now. Kalen DeBoer, I'll have to keep reminding the audience, is the man who replaced Nick Saban.
To me, it's the part of the job that probably is the most interesting and challenging. And by the way, I mean, we just went through 17 years with Nick Saban. And a week ago, I don't know if you saw, he was on the McAfee Show and he was defending DeBoer. And he talked about how he never paid attention to the media. And he proceeded to identify me.
I always like it when a guy mentions your name in terms of, I never listened to him. But the point was, of course he listened. But we never really had, we may have had six Mondays in 17 years where there was real, I mean, we would criticize Saban for losing the national championship. That's how difficult it was to find something to say about it.
DeBoer took care of it by the first weekend in October.
Yeah, if you're an Alabama fan, it's Scrooge City. I mean, there's nothing to be happy about. Alabama is going to the ReliaQuest Bowl.
If you go back to 2009, I mean, Alabama has practically either played for the national championship or been in the playoffs all but two or three years. And this year, it feels very empty.
Something tells me that you will not be there on New Year's Eve.
I tell you what, I just thought of this, and I don't know, I think legend is currently... unattached. I can't do any better than legend in my career, which is starting to creep toward... It's late autumn, okay? It's wintertime.
