“I’m still going to be here tomorrow, the next day, the next day and get paid a fortune to sit here and do this”

Then right afterwards he calls Cutler a baby….this guy is a joke…and a baby….

Sure, he makes some mistakes. Heck, he’s on the radio 6 hours every day, dealing in every major sport. But his memory recall can go back 30 years in some instances. I watch a few hours every day and he’s always able to recall some truly amazing things. Hell give you the stats of every player on the 62 yanks, for instance. I’ve seen him recall the outcomes of all the offensive drives of an obscure football game played 10 years ago. There’s a reason he’s the top sports radio guy in the country.

He’s got a freakishly amazing mind. I’d say photographic memory. Maybe a savant.

Yeah, a photographic memory. Like when the Tigers were playing the Yanks, and this phone call happens:

If you are being sarcastic, I apologize.

He does things like this regularly, without looking at notes, screens or books. That’s why video exists of him sleeping on air, lol.

He really needs a co-host….

He’s got an amazing mind for sports. Yesterday he was asked about the football giants losing their first game during the1990 Super Bowl season. He knew who they played, that they lost and the score. In fact, he knew all the games. He’s got a freakishly amazing mind. I’d say photographic memory. Maybe a savant.

I’m more feeling the pain of days gone by. That snoring was pretty bad I’m told.

I also love watching convection currents through the glass when you pour nonfat half-and-half into iced coffee – and, of course, I love watching an ice cube dissolve in a cup of hot liquid. Another thing I love is inserting one of those long telescoping surgical tubes into the ground so I can watch earthworms tunneling along. I love watching Harvey Keitel flip slowly through his photo albums in Smoke – slow down or you’ll never get it, he advises, and who’s going to argue with Harvey, eh? And best of all, I enjoy watching mountains erode in the rain. People just don’t know how to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of life anymore.

Crack open a brew, kick back and enjoy it. You conscience needn’t get involved.

Admittedly…you have a great point. But I would add that watching paint dry isn’t nearly as pointless.
After all…at least you know when it is safe to touch.

I love the fact that SO many people take this shit SO fucking seriously and all it really is is a bunch of dopes sitting around pontificating about what MIGHT happen.

And yeah, I get sucked in because I like conversation, but wow. This was absolutely classic and I’m very happy that it happened on the Yankees flagship.

Hey writers – on TV YOU ARE BORING! Get a clue!

I can picture them waking up now – “Who? The Orioles? Did What? Oh @#*^&%#*(!.”
