So bad to get fired because you might lose your pets. Yeah. Greg, how is it, Chris, and you help me with this because we have not done enough of a job today promoting your father's exactos and your father's mock draft and your father's podcast, the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody.

But you have seen, Chris, you've been front row seat witness to today's show through Stan and Samson, careened live out of control for a long time, and your dad spun out. And then he spun out and tried to leave the studio, didn't know how the penalty box worked anymore, and tried to leave through a door as if he didn't understand how doors work.

Okay, very good. I'm glad we finally closed the loop on that. One thing that I wanted to do here today before we got out of here is to remember and celebrate because the sports machine, can move very fast, and it seems, I don't think I have this wrong, more often than not, we're talking around here about somebody who died. I don't know if it's more often than not.

During a time in football when it was growing in this country, when ESPN had the kind of signature voice for 18 straight years on Sunday Night Football because ESPN was getting into the football game, making it bigger and bigger in America, one of the signature voices was Mike Patrick. And quietly... a great broadcaster for 20 years on Sunday Night Football.

Somehow, I would say, escaped much of the withering criticism that will come down on the head of every broadcaster today, including Al Michaels, because, oh, your tone's not good there. Your energy's not good. You sound like an old man. Get out of the way, old man. Mike Patrick, universal praise, dies at the age of 80.

And Mike, I don't know what you associate with him, but what I associate with him is talking to him, hearing his dulcet voice, and then being surprised when he said what a rigorous smoker he was. That just being taken aback, just assuming that he would be somebody who would always protect those blessed pipes.

Do you know how rare it is these days when criticism is the main sport to be a broadcaster that can live your lifespan and then die? And you will not hear very much of a bad word as any of that was happening. Like even Joe Buck, like a child prodigy, is viewed as someone that, oh, he doesn't root for my team or he's partial.

If you're always broadcasting the games, I just, I don't think that people understand how difficult it is to be someone who is quietly professional in the broadcast space, never to look at me. So it never becomes Gus Johnson or whatever it is has personality that, evolves the game, but doesn't stay totally out of the way of the game.

Because Mike Patrick was sort of like Vern Lundquist in this space where you're like, oh my God, his voice reminds me of a Saturday afternoon or a Sunday night. Raspy, it seems like he's got a drink in his hand. It sounds like he might be wearing a colorful broadcaster coat, and I might hear the tinkle of a glass of ice.
