AND THEY BRING OUT THE NEW HALL OF FAMERS. AND YOU KNOW, THE 4 GUYS WHO WERE INDUCTED THIS YEAR, HAD SUCH GREAT STORIES. UH, WHEN THEY CAME OUT, I’LL START WITH STERLING SHARPE. HE WAS THE ONLY 1 OF THE 4, BY THE WAY, WHO WAS A FIRST ROUND DRAFT CHOICE. OKAY, BY THE GREEN BAY PACKERS. AND THEN IT WAS SO HEARTWARMING WHEN, WHEN HE AND SHANNON HUGGED EACH OTHER UP ON THE STAGE SHANA JACKET. FIRST BROTHERS TO MAKE THE PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME AND AND I COULDN’T RESIST, I GOT OVER TO STERLING. I WHISPERED IN HIS EAR ELI MANNING WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, YOU KNOW, HEY, THEY, THEY BEAT ELI TO THE PUNCH THERE OF GOING INTO THE HOLE. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

AND A LOT OF THIS, JUST LIKE WITH JOHN FACENDA, HE WAS THE VOICE OF THE NFL AND I, I JUST SAID, DON’T FORGET ABOUT WHO HELPED US GET HERE TO A MULTI, MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR ORGANIZATION COMPANY, AND I’M GLAD YOU GOT TO EXPERIENCE THAT. I, YOU KNOW, I WISH THAT IRV CROSS HAD BEEN AROUND, UH, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, JIMMY, THE GREAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DID THE FIRST PREGAME SHOW. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA IF THAT WAS HOW SUCCESSFUL THAT WAS GOING TO BE WHEN YOU STARTED?

THEY TAPED IT ON FRIDAY NIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT, OKAY? AND IT WAS BOB WESLERS IDEA. LET’S DO THIS LIVE AND THEN THE HALFTIMES I THE POSTGAME, THERE WAS IMMEDIATE IMPACT, ESPECIALLY WHEN MIKE WALLACE STROLLED IN ABOUT WEEK NUMBER 4 AND YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT.

WELL YOU KNOW, LET ME GO TO THE NIGHT THAT JIMMY, THE GREEK AND I HAD OUT A LITTLE FISTICUFFS AND IN A NEW YORK SALOON. OKAY, LET ME TELL EVERYBODY. JIMMY OBJECTED TO THE FACT THAT HE THOUGHT I CUT HIM SHORT. EVERYBODY’S GOT TO REMEMBER. WE ONLY HAD ABOUT 28 MINUTES OF AIR TIME, SO I HAD TO DISH IT OUT TO EVERYBODY. OKAY. SO I WAS LIVING IN LOS ANGELES AT THE TIME. I THOUGHT I WAS WORKING WITH KANYE CHEUNG ON FLYING FOR THE NFL TODAY. SO I GOT A CALL THE MORNING AFTER I RETURNED TO LA. WE GOT A FIRE OF THE GREEK, WE’RE GOING TO GET RID OF IT AND I SAID, HEY, HOLD ON, LET ME GET BACK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT AND I 1 THING, I TALKED TO MY WIFE KNOW, ARLENE. I I DON’T WANT THE GREEKS BLOOD ON MY HANDS BECAUSE WE HAD AN INCIDENT. I MEAN WE’RE VERY CLOSE. I LIKE BROTHERS. SO I THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING BACK AND I SAID, PLEASE DON’T FIRE THE GREEK, WE’LL FIND A WAY, OKAY? SO, WE KNEW BOB ARUM, THE BOXING GUY REALLY WELL, AND HE GOT US A BILL AND A COUPLE PAIR OF BOXING GLOVES, AND WE OPENED UP THE NEXT WEEK AND THE LIGHT OF IT. AND AND MADE THE LIGHT OF IT. FROM THERE. SO, YOU KNOW, IT’S IT’S THE PEOPLE DAN. I JUST LOVED WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE, UH, THAT WE HAD PHYLLIS. LEFT US FOR A WHILE. UH, BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO BECOME A OSCAR WINNING MOVIE STAR AND JANE, KENNEDY WAS BROUGHT IN AFTER THAT. AND IT WAS SUCH A DELIGHT. UH, JANE WAS LOVED BY THE PLAYERS WHEN SHE WOULD GO OUT FOR THE INTERVIEWS. AND THEN, AND THEN PHYLLIS CAME BACK A LITTLE BIT LATER. THINGS DIDN’T QUITE WORK OUT IN HOLLYWOOD, BUT IT WAS THE PEOPLE THAT I DEALT WITH THAT, I LOVE WHO GOT THE BETTER OF THE FIGHT? WELL, THE GREEK HIT ME AND DECIDE, YOU KNOW, IT WASN’T A VERY TOUGH BLOW. MY BROTHER MIGHT HAVE GOT THE BEST OF IT, BUT THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE BAR WAS THE BARTENDER AND HE TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF. OKAY. AND SO NOBODY COULD SEE ANYBODY, OKAY? SO WHAT KIND OF CALM DOWN, OKAY NOW, BUT WHAT HAPPENED WAS SAID I WAS AT THE TABLE WHEN THE GREEK CAME IN, BUT SITTING AT THE BAR, WAS A GUY WHO WORKED ON THE CITY DESK OF THE NEW YORK POST AND HE RAN BACK AND OF COURSE, BOUGHT A BAG. YOU KNOW, THERE’S THE PICTURE OF THE GREEK CAN FILL THIS. BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, OFF WE GO, IF HE HADN’T BEEN IN THERE HAVING A COLD 1. OKAY BETWEEN SHIFTS, I DON’T THINK ANYBODY WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH. BUT YEAH, IT WAS, IT WAS LONG IN AN INSTANT, AND OVER IN AN INSTANT WELL, I’M HAPPY FOR YOU. I’M PROUD OF YOU. UM, YOU HELPED PUT IT IN MY HEAD THAT I COULD DO THIS, OR THEY HAD JOBS LIKE THIS WHEN I WAS GROWING UP.
