" you're right you know. Adamant that your mind reader and art after you know you wasn't McCauley had to go at that. And make the most of it you're absolutely right it. Landscape dramatically changed and it's just what what can I say it -- It was a gift and -- and -- and this is also get sort of look at it that way in. Geez I start thinking about stopped in -- desk bachelorette or do you remember -- You know I just -- even want to start out around yeah."

" article to a hundred different than a thousand different. You know just little."

" What are what are what are one what's number one on the list wouldn't -- that Ted."

" You know -- Do you Callahan not to go to Sports Illustrated as number one unless."

" As usually didn't listen but hey I came back. I I you're gonna get credit forever for the Ted Williams Bobby your Larry Bird interview I was there it was electric."

" Element but I remember right here right. First -- to screw that up with me I've probably worried -- that more than anything else that old -- that was that was pretty special. I don't even didn't start out all came together -- At the nowadays start that's an amazing thing it."

" Barbara days you know in in recent years where you command you know in the afternoon and say just -- jury was talking about we're ritual on the air and we got to the -- check on because that's sort of news but it's it's old now there's very little likened due to tell the audience at large out their something they don't know."

" Absolutely at all and I know I won't deny that the apparent that mailed this course that -- and it just can't do it for all that time day in day out cherish our. And not -- did any got to get stopped by a back and back at -- protection to what you -- last night ballot check. You know here's a deal about about check that has its punish erection that. I was gladly -- I content but just struggled way. He was brought checked by -- Jane -- just didn't go to charter school but he just state ballot check what is it would have pretty itself the like the media really was the message that would set."

" A you know the song video killed the radio star. I what killed or killed the TV stuff would you say it's the Internet would you say it's talk radio what was the these. The death knell for the 6 o'clock TV sports star."

" You know it. And about a -- that clearly shrinkage time clearly. Instead of as John said you know whether it's Reggie Jared yourselfers. They'll caller whoever -- leave Webber are grateful and right analysts. You know we all had like ten minutes -- eight minutes at 6530 I'll Martin saint. And then they put in a final option out of it at 530 show it and it would -- shows so everything else got fractional lives you know at. If for whatever reason there all of the reasons were clearly -- sales -- And I think those -- that things as I said the Pulitzer prize winning speak up with the best said that doubt. In college mistreat outsmart the sportscast as smaller and now we inability to -- a cramp stopped they would. You know. The other personalities -- and I could -- this stuff. The sport's -- kind of being yourself in on have a good. Yeah -- that Italian didn't have started to I'm the guy next few weather as accurately as their basic leader Matt Murton. You know joke about just was all taken away I don't know how they don't have purposeful thing I think it was just -- force."

" Bob the the other person who you know we we find out that -- one of the other people we find out today and was walking up the door is somebody who should be very very proud of herself I would suggest to you that Joyce called they would end of her run is a little bit different the viewers -- and -- is somebody in my estimation that should be very proud of herself and boy I don't mean this asylum as condescending -- might sound. I'm very proud of her and here's the reason why I guarantee you without ever set foot in that building for many many years all the consultants and all the news directors and all the button pushers and suits. Where were dance and on her head to -- we need more Paris Hilton updates we need more help me Lindsay Lohan Heath Ledger -- ledger rehab stories and my guess is the Joyce resist the the mall and what did take the high road and that it make it in this day and age."

" That I congratulation that their starters I. Gnashing had a great relationship I'd call particular they -- on this stroller what -- paper -- She just so good on camera so good look at automatic camera. And she even might very commercial break she would do. Opens and closes for the next morning pieces and she would just mail every act she saw. And good. Like she did people you know that. That note in the business now I've talked that is -- just -- about and she was always always -- set. They'll hide it well you know high standards and and her passion was what she did she didn't -- contest. You know Anna Nicole Smith --"

" You're throwing us exactly you're going to pine forest that you are we that they -- absolutely exhausted just out of that which the -- did you confirm that -- they were jump Bonner had to do different things."

" I don't know I can't because that you know I can beltway not kind of weird we opt out at our own little world rock. And the contractors in the way but you know thought supposed to come together one at. Well into the age -- I don't know. I don't know what depression as a writer pitcher but I do you know they based upsetting to carry out there's two years ago and you know that there's you know. You -- little you know clues along always say oh. This is the way it's gone."

" This eight bowl where it was and rained Aaron those -- thing."

" We're Clinton did however -- right so glad I."

" We often say or feel like you can tell when people list and just feel it. If people listening a lot of people listening on the certain day I think it says that when you write a column to you you know the people are going to read it did you feel.

And you really were actually talking of some people who are very excited or at least as excited about what you are about to say. But those times -- have -- And Wendell. Clearly simply because of you know the stories were already out there you know -- most -- to hit it went out of business look like -- secret. He got -- target these secrets I can't -- lady's secret but I know. But you know that that kind of evaporated and it was a -- prices revolution that you -- that you -- always got to tell you -- I'll. I think that then and surely -- chairs Jarrett say you do when people will watch it but people were side."

" Yeah out of all the to be true but my guess. Yeah okay I'll pretend it's awkward as -- my guess is that your department people once you're out the door would be skating a man down for the foreseeable future. Replacing direct. I don't know I don't know no don't know the Perot is he's yeah it would probably aren't."

" I don't know I don't know that they don't consult his matter. Yeah you might be in my case for awhile I just can't imagine him. I just can't imagine the ornament that everything Ottawa -- You know patriots stiff quarter which like it's more and it or whether it you know are the Celtics you know on the final -- they -- maybe somebody's front -- Last former sports in terms of market in his apartment on the year I don't know if I finished -- and that's the question but."

" Answer -- you know I don't know about it is about you know what I would suggest that you might even do this for free they bring you back each patriots day you can be the marathon man Americans do you like -- that."

" What I would do this one yup so. Actually went all bets -- off."

" somewhere else normal watch the."

They also have felt it can't figure out about that particularly today drivers are crazy like the Sports Illustrated -- the right thing came back. That would happen that's been really active status -- the best that I could have been you know I could have failed miserably because as you know is deep almost you know. -- You're not going to make it on the network you gotta be or not I'm not there at the negative thing I've -- bit about is that is that get on the networks -- and and everything kind of worked out they got the best guys naked yet and I that it has some I don't think that was the best static that add to that. At too many opinions about stuck in a great thing about stating your -- had a chance to get paid and and I guess that was the kind of important."

" And by about the that's part of what sets you apart because even at the local level that all things all. People mentality reigns supreme in the news directors office I mean they don't want -- in any way shape or form saying everything slightly controversial that would offend the -- little old lady in Cambridge or the -- in the south and or the you know -- the whatever anywhere they want you to appeal to everybody and not offend a single soul."

" Well you know -- I don't know it was. I don't know what it says it's says you really slower overly stupid."
