Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome. On this It's Not Coming Home Thursday, July 16, 2026, this program begins now. are happening and last night was a celebration of sport and we were very lucky to be there in New York City as wards were given out and obviously an event that collected so many greats from so many different communities that we got a chance to experience and I'll tell you what, we enjoyed the hell out of that evening. Now, were there some parts of the show that made us cry? Yeah.
You bet.
Yeah, Mr. Abbott, hell yeah, dude. That was awesome. Hell yeah, dude. I grew up in Pittsburgh, obviously was not a massive baseball fan, and we have gotten into the baseball world, but watching a man tell his story about his little hand, basically, and becoming a baseball player who throws a no-hitter for the New York Yankees, and then reliving that entire story, and him just in the middle of his speech talking about like, There was my third grade teacher taught me how to tie my shoes. Like, you don't even think about that. Like, oh, I couldn't even figure out how to do that one hand. And his third grade teacher figuring out how to do it. He said, button this shirt, do this entire thing. And then his kid asking him the question that he was probably conflicted about his whole life about the little hand that actually drove him, but also changed him, but also made him probably get picked on a lot in a different way while still inspiring so many others.
When Shaquem Griffin came on and then the U.S., the professional soccer player lady. Oh, I'm so sorry. I was never going to be able to remember that name. I should not have even started that one. That is 100% on me, but I want to let her know. Awesome to learn her story last night. And we will certainly remember your name the next time we chat about it. We just learned of it all last night and we're on a plane this morning. But when I talk about moments that make you feel something, I think now that I have kids, it's obviously... through a vastly different lens, but I was sobbing my eyes out. I mean, I was absolutely crying out there. And then the Pat Tillman Award, which I got to be a part of, which I am so honored to be a part of.
Anytime I get asked to do that, I would obviously say yes, because Pat Tillman is, I mean, our football's best. I mean, that is the NFL represented in a way that I think everybody that's ever played in the NFL would want it to be represented. A man who was obviously a stud on the football field, but then 9-11 happens and he feels obligated Well, I don't think he thought I'm gay. I think he was just doing what he thought he was supposed to do. But looking back on it, just an absolutely relentless display of being a stud. And he passes away, obviously friendly fire, I believe. And it's obviously a huge story. And every war is obviously very politically divisive. And I've always said as a person who's been very lucky to have
very close family friends who have been in military, like my brother's best friend went into the army and got to do it. And then whenever I get to the Colts, I start working with wish for our heroes and I meet a lot of military folks. It's like you don't have to be pro war to be pro warrior. You know, like the people that sign up to do these things, the Coast Guard, Scott Ruskin last night, like the people that sign up to be the ones who serve our community or serve for us. You're allowed to be pro those folks, even though you're not pro what's going on. Because there's a lot of them that are very confused about why or what, but they are doing what they will do for our country. So that is awesome to be a part of.
Eli Heidenreich, the Navy quarterback, running back, everything. You name it. Now, Pittsburgh Steeler, him being there. Second Lieutenant Marine. Love that. And it was just really cool. I was crying during that. So it was that's two times now in the last couple of days I've been crying with a microphone about a minute away from my mouth.
