I would love to read or hear a conversation between Bryant Gumbel and Joe Morgan.

What would seem at first as a contract with ESPN has turned into a more lucrative deal with the NFL Network, and it would appear that I would be the play by play announcer. One thing in my contract so it seems is that when you address me you will not call me by my first name, nor Mr. Gumbel or even “sir” but rather Your Excellency or perhaps Capitan, because you would be in the presence of royalty.

Well what you have to realize is, that if you were a hall of fame second baseman, such as myself, the contract talks of which you speak most likely could have landed you a job at ESPN, but you who have not played the game, and do not know what it feels like to steal a base or assist in a perfect double play, do not understand the routine that ESPN demands. Therefore as a play by play announcer, unlike me who fills in color commentary which is far more important and what we call ‘urgency broadcasting’ in the industry—it’s something you wouldn’t understand.

But in a position of yours, in a position of your stature, rather, you it would appear do not know what it’s like to host a primetime television show or event such as I, so it would seem.

Well what you have to understand is that it doesn’t matter what you do on your cable show because in the presence of the Hall of Fame, such as I have been or have voted for, it’s something in the business of winning we call ‘unnatural wins’ or ‘fixedness’, something you’re probably familiar with as you have been called out before.

It would seem that it would appear you have no knowledge of excellence as I have the awards and the brass shows more than the talk, and speaking of talk, I was on the Today Show, which is something Tiki Barber has aspired for and something you will never understand it would seem, rather, that you would never get the chance to, it would appear.

The point is you’re all wrong, insecure, stupid, and like WR, you have to reconcile with yourself and your family and friends before you can even begin to argue with me.
