I'm going to lean on you.

Yeah.

Yeah, take it.

Take it.

You tell me, because that's your job.

Also, like, tell me what I'm seeing, because I can't see it.

I'm a viewer.

I'm a fan in that regard.

Swimming and diving, softball, all these other college offshoots.

I got asked to do lacrosse one time.

Well, I got asked to do the NCAA hockey postseason.

And what I tell kids all the time who look for advice, don't ever say no to a job.

However, there are times where you can be honest about it.

And the guy who called me, I was in a fairly decent position at ESPN, but still climbing my way up.

I said, listen, I'm happy to do hockey if you'd like.

Not only have I never called hockey, I've been to two games in my life, and they're both St.

Louis Blues games.

I don't know a thing about hockey except what I see on TV.

Now, I've got time to prepare, and I'll get the nuts and bolts down, and I'll get the names right, and I'll have the rules in front of me.

But I don't think it's fair to the players, coaches, and fans, the biggest time of the year, the NCAA tournament, to have me calling hockey.
