00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 6: many things happened this game.

47
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 11: There unexplainable, and it all landed up to a Brown swim.

48
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 6: This one's for you, Jim Donovan.

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,600

00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,200

00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 12: All right, let's do Alive on a Monday edition. Bo

55
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 12: Z Gibbe. Cavalcade of folks through the next couple of hours.

56
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 12: That was unlike anything I've ever seen. That was unlike

57
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 12: anything I think any of us could have ever seen.

58
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 12: If you did not believe in divine intervention before, I

59
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 12: don't know how to explain it to you because there

60
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 12: were so many impossible, improbable things that happened in that

61
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 12: game and they are unexplainable. And I thought you were brilliant.

62
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 12: I thought Andrew was brilliant. I thought, Gibbie, the way

63
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 12: you guys, your whole group doing it with Jim's picture

64
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 12: there you get in. I'll turn it over to you.

65
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 12: And I know that I can't imagine where you emotionally,

66
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 12: what the last seven two hours have been like. And

67
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 12: and then to go to that booth and call a

68
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 12: game and then for it all to happen in such

69
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 12: a storybook way, it honestly defied logic.

70
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 13: It.

71
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm like, I thought I was completely drained

72
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: and spent of emotion, but apparently I still have some

73
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 3: emotions in me right now.

74
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 11: It was magical. It's something I'll never forget as long

75
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 11: as I live.

76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: Andrew and I and then even Yak when he came in,

77
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 3: we were all kind of like, pregame.

78
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 12: They're gonna win, like they have to win, they have

79
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 12: to win.

80
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: And you know, you think about all the things that

81
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: happened in that game that were definitely improbable, and I'll

82
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: just go to two that happened towards the end when

83
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: you when you really needed it was you know, Dustin

84
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 3: Hopkins field goal goes in off of the upright, okay,

85
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 3: which I don't believe I have seen in that stadium sense.

86
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: Our good friend Ted's wife passed yea, And in that

87
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 3: game we won off of kiss off of the uprights,

88
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: and so he and I actually texted, he's walking by

89
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: right now. We texted like immediately when that happened in

90
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 3: the game, and I was like, that's the first thing

91
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 3: that I thought of. And then you go to the

92
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 3: Kyle Hamilton. You know, he has it. It's basically a

93
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: perfect pass to Kyle Hamilton, hits him right and stride.

94
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 11: It's feathery.

95
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 12: It was.

96
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: It was not like it was a rock, just a

97
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 3: it was a beautiful ball to Kyle Hamilton and he

98
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: drops it and then catches it, and then drops it

99
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: and then catches it. And I think on the car,

100
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: I think I just kept saying like I'm telling you,

101
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: like I'm telling you this, none of this makes sense,

102
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: except it makes perfect sense. It just had to be

103
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: that way for Jim and when they when they won.

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 3: And I appreciate everybody who has sent their support to

105
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: Megan and Cheryl and everybody who's had you know, the

106
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: kind of words about you know, Andrew and my call

107
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: at the end.

108
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 11: It meant something. It meant a great deal.

109
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: To their to his family yesterday, all of it. And

110
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: it culminates with and I'm sure you've seen this now.

111
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 3: I went down to the locker room after the game

112
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: and I was, you know, just kind of I don't

113
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: even know what I was. Gibbet did a great job,

114
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: caught us all back in and we took a picture

115
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: holding the picture which I know you don't follow me,

116
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: but people who do have seen me on social And

117
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: then we walked out and I went down did my

118
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 3: post game with Tequila Fela and we had a nice embrace,

119
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 3: and you know, I was thinking, just how special again

120
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 3: the Greenbrier time was for somebody like Tequila or like

121
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: Jordan who didn't know really Jim, but they got to

122
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 3: be around him for nine straight days. And yeah, you know,

123
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: none of us will ever look at Colin Joss the same,

124
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: you know, as a result of our time with Jim

125
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: Donovan at the Greenbrier. So and then I went in

126
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: the locker room and talked to various players and the

127
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 3: person I really wanted to bak to was Coach, and

128
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: so I waited for him to come out and we

129
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: embraced and he had the game ball in his hand.

130
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: He goes, I'm going to Hinckley right now to give

131
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: this to the Donovan family. And I said, that's awesome,

132
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: like awesome, and I mean for him and Ab to

133
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: go out there. And then Megan texted me the picture

134
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: and I was like, that's.

135
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 11: Those are people who get it.

136
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: It has not been the season we've wanted thus far

137
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: at all, but like when you think about from a

138
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: big picture and what's actually important.

139
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 11: This was this game.

140
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: You know, it's like if it take like the Buckeyes

141
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: in Michigan, if either one. Not that the buck Eyes

142
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: ever had bad seasons anymore, but let's say that they did.

143
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: The season feels okay because you won that game, you beat.

144
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 12: Michigan at the end of the year, or vice versa.

145
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: Yes, this to me was that game for the Browns

146
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 3: because of the enormity of the the emotion around it,

147
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: and it was for a grieving community. You know, they

148
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 3: play the video before the game and it was like

149
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: it just wiped out the stadium. You could tell everybody,

150
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 3: a lot of people crying, people turning up looking us

151
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: in the booth. And then to have that it was

152
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: it was cathartic, it was released, it was a celebration.

153
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 11: It was and it was what it had to be.

154
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it had this game had to end with

155
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: the Browns winning, with that game ball being delivered to

156
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: the Diamonds with.

157
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 11: Magic.

158
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: I mean, there was it was. It was magic is

159
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: how they won that game. And obviously good football and

160
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: all of that, but there were things never convinced me

161
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: otherwise that Jim did not have a hand in it,

162
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: and it was just incredibly special and I was I was,

163
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: I don't know who I was talking to, if it

164
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: was Ken or Cranes this morning, and I was like,

165
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: you know, I'm kind of glad they put that video

166
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: out because I watched because I don't I did not

167
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: remember in the moment, but I said I had because

168
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: I us you're blacked out, you're so locked in the moment,

169
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: you're speaking so from you know, the depths of your soul,

170
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: and that was just pure raw everything, and it was

171
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: just such a powerful moment. I watched it back and

172
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, you only get one shot

173
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: at something like that's live, and I was just very happy.

174
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: I thought Andrew uh did such a great job and

175
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: you know the message he received. Again, I always say

176
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 3: I always do my broadcast for an audience of one,

177
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: which was Jim.

178
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 12: Jim thought I did a good job. I did a

179
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 12: good job.

180
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: Like period yesterday, it was for you know, Jim and

181
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: for Megan and for Cheryl, and they were I know

182
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: how pleased they were and how much it meant to them.

183
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 12: So that made me feel really really good.

184
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 3: I I, uh, yeah, I just emotionally, it's been. It's

185
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: been a like, yes, it was a long, long day

186
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 3: and it it Obviously I said, I feel drained, and

187
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: we play that and I'm like, start crying again, and

188
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: but it was just it's something I'll never forget. I

189
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: wore the same outfit except for obviously I put on

190
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: I had the Jim shirt on yesterday that I wore

191
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: for that Thursday night in in Cleveland against the Jets

192
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: when we clinched the playoffs. And I am superstitious about

193
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: stuff like that. I have a picture in my house

194
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: of that of me and him, from that photo that

195
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: I that I tweeted out upon the news of his

196
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: passing in my house, and I actually made one for

197
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 3: Jim and wrote a nice note to him on it

198
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: a year ago and gave it to him after that game.

199
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 11: And I know that it was just it was there

200
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 11: was just so much that it was. It was just special.

201
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 11: It's indescribable.

202
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: And you know, we talk about in the time of

203
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: you know, division and a time and in fact even

204
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 3: in our own football universe, right with the Browns, it

205
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: was that going in this game was a time of division.

206
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: There were yeah, players unhappy with fans, fans unhappy with players,

207
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: and we always talk about sports is a great unifier,

208
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: and like I said yesterday, you know, Jim Donovan was

209
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: the great unifier here today and you could feel it.

210
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 3: It was palpable, and it was incredibly special to be

211
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: to be a part of that and to be able

212
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 3: to help, you know, honor a man that I truly

213
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: admired and respected and loved.

214
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 12: I thought, I cannot imagine how proud he was of

215
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 12: you looking down. So much of what made Jim so

216
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 12: great was his preparedness. His he was He was really

217
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 12: perfect when it came to preparing. He was a walking encyclopedia.

218
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 12: He could remember anything that had ever happened. He could

219
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 12: remember time, place, distance, down game. A lot of these

220
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 12: games were forgettable. Quite honestly, you know, the majority of

221
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 12: his time, this organization didn't win a lot. And he

222
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 12: was the one thing that we did well. Him and

223
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 12: Joe Thomas. We could We could play left tackle and

224
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 12: you get a damn good call on the radio. Those

225
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 12: are the two things that you were guaranteed as a

226
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 12: Browns fan for many, many falls. And his preparedness is

227
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 12: perfection all of those things. But also, and this is

228
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 12: the part that I think was so special that and

229
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 12: I think that's very interesting you said what you said

230
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 12: about I'm glad that that video is out there because

231
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 12: you don't remember, because when you're in those moments, you

232
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 12: don't you're just speaking from the heart, and is what

233
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 12: comes from the heart is true emotion. And what what

234
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 12: spilled out was all of that. It was the true emotion.

235
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 12: And guess who else had pure emotion? Jim All these

236
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 12: videos that are going around of all these iconic calls

237
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 12: that he made, and you see him, and you see

238
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 12: how he's reacting to things that are happening, and he's

239
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 12: looking in the booth. You look at Gabe loves him,

240
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 12: always looks at given to like do you see like,

241
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 12: come on, like, what's happening?

242
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 13: Right?

243
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 12: I mean, it's it was all there. I'm gonna tell

244
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 12: you what that is as must win a game as

245
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 12: the Cleveland Browns have ever played.

246
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 11: I agree, it had to be.

247
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 12: There's no other way that that could end. There couldn't.

248
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 12: And it wasn't just the doink in from Hop. It

249
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 12: wasn't just the drop on on what is the easiest

250
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 12: interception Kyle Hamilton has probably had since he's in the

251
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 12: third grade. I mean, that was a third grade floater,

252
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 12: just go grab it, and he did it. The bateman

253
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 12: drop into the sun. When is the last time you

254
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 12: saw a receiver lose the ball in the sun? At

255
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 12: our stadium in.

256
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 11: October, I get a hit in the face.

257
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 12: They doinked out a kick.

258
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it was.

259
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 12: There was so much. It was like, man, it was,

260
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 12: it was. It had it all And also like it

261
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 12: had to end that way too, I think because if if,

262
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 12: if you kneel it out, it had to be. And

263
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 12: Andrew did such a great job describing that final play.

264
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: Which went on forever, forever, forever. I'm like, well, somebody

265
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: please tackle Lamar Jackson.

266
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 12: About halfway through the fourth quarter, I made the decision.

267
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 12: I'm like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna sink you guys up

268
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 12: to TV. So I'm gonna I'm gonna get this to

269
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 12: where it works because I'm like this, I need to

270
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 12: hear it. I wanted to hear it. And I couldn't

271
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 12: imagine being someone if you weren't watching and listening, because

272
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 12: without the ability to see the play, you're like, what

273
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 12: is where? Why are we not tackling him? What is

274
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 12: he doing?

275
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: Is like Chase By scenarios, scenarius missus him, it gets

276
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: away from scenarios.

277
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 12: My gosh, just go down, Lamar for crying out loud,

278
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 12: go down.

279
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: There was when I walked out afterwards and I walked

280
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: through the players area, Uh, I gotta tell you something.

281
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 3: I've always I've long been a big fan of Dewan

282
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 3: Jones's and the first he came in he saw me,

283
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: he just tugged me. He goes, I'm so sorry about

284
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: your friend Jim, and I was like, man, and I

285
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: think I talked to his mom, and I'm like, he

286
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: raised an incredible young man. I could not be a

287
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 3: bigger fan. And by the way, looked great at left tackle,

288
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: which was great see. But then I was he was

289
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: standing there also with Mike Call and Mike Hall. Not

290
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: the last play, but I think it was either the

291
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: second to last play or third to last where he flushes.

292
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 12: Him out left and Lamar ends up throwing it away.

293
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: Mike Hall rushed off the edge, got right around to

294
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: tackle like it was nothing, and he was like, I

295
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 3: cannot believe how fast Lamar jacks.

296
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 11: He's like I had him.

297
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: I thought I had him for sure, and he's like,

298
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: now he didn't not have him. He's like, I didn't

299
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: ever got close enough to put a finger on him,

300
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: and I thought I had him done. Yeah, he was

301
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: like that guy's a crowd and at the end you're

302
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: just watching him run around and we all know you

303
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: can't cover forever.

304
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 11: Now you knew it had to go into the end zone,

305
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 11: which is helpful.

306
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: And I'll also I want to thank all of our

307
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: defensive backs for not pre maturely celebrating to the to

308
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: the crowd, as we saw perhaps another venues in the

309
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: National Football League.

310
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 12: But you're just like, let this play end, Like make

311
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 12: it end.

312
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 11: Three seconds.

313
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: It was the longest three seconds and then when it

314
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: just hit the ground and it was, oh man, it

315
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:18,359
Speaker 3: was incredible.

316
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 11: It was incredible. It the Jets game was.

317
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: An incredible night for this city and was just pure

318
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 3: celebration because of a life and obviously the juxtaposition of

319
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 3: this win and the happiness that comes with it in

320
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: the celebration, but also with the loss of a beloved

321
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: figure and friend.

322
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 12: But this one, it was, it was. It was special.

323
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 3: It was almost surreal in a sense. You kind of

324
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: walked out and you just felt it from everybody, like

325
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: people just everywhere, just we should all be something to

326
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: strive for, right like we're all Unfortunately that's just in

327
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: the way of the world. Unless they come up with

328
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: some new technology, we are all going to pass at

329
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: some point. Yeah, and all you could hope, I think

330
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: to be is universally loved as Jim Donovan was. And

331
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 3: you know, we work in a business and you know this,

332
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 3: and Andrew knows this. Where because people hear you all

333
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: the time and your voice becomes so familiar to them,

334
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: even if they've never met you, they feel like they

335
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: know you. And to be universally loved with an order

336
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: as Jim Donovan's is is just speaks to what an

337
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: incredible human being he was and the fact that he

338
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: is so genuine you can't you can't fake that passion,

339
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: you cannot fake that emotion. And I think, you know,

340
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: one of the reasons I think that we had such

341
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: a great time working together is we both are very

342
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: kind of passionate and emotional and energetic people. And it was,

343
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: you know, just thinking about him, like hopping up and

344
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: down when a big run would happen, as he's calling

345
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: it just he's it's amazing.

346
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 11: But just I think the point I was trying to

347
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 11: make was the.

348
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 3: Universal love and admiration and respect for him, and then

349
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 3: what that meant in terms of the emotional outpouring and

350
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 3: just the feeling, like the feeling in that stadium was

351
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 3: hard to describe.

352
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 12: I was sitting on the countdown set and.

353
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: Talking about Jim at the beginning, and you know, as

354
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: soon as the play people were able to come in

355
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: at eleven, the first thing I see as a guy

356
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 3: like we love you.

357
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 12: Jim Donald with a sign right there, comes right down and.

358
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: I'm just like, yeah, yeah, just an incredible thing to

359
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: be a part of. And it just had to be

360
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: this way like it would we'd be sitting here.

361
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 11: It would be so.

362
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: Different at Kyle Hamilton caught that pass, it would be like,

363
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 3: oh yeah, it's unfathomable how different it would be.

364
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 11: And he didn't. And again you said it.

365
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 3: I know, you said on social I do follow you.

366
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: You cannot convince me that, no, that he did not

367
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 3: have a hand of that you can. I will not

368
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 3: be convinced, and I don't want to be.

369
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 12: No, there were too many there were too many things

370
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 12: that started to stack. And look the window that he

371
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 12: gave us on he became such an integral part of

372
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 12: this show through the years. Some of my memories were

373
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 12: being him and him and Deep. Remember years ago, him

374
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 12: and Deep would come in and we'd run the four

375
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 12: man weave and we would we would do that, and

376
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 12: then we would call him and we'd ask about the horses,

377
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 12: and and how the ponies, the spot, how's the ponderosa,

378
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 12: and we'd have fun with that, and you got a

379
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 12: little window into him, and he really appreciated those things.

380
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 12: I did a show with him, uh this spring where

381
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 12: it was was he and I and we we finished

382
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 12: up and and we we'd done two hours, and there

383
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 12: wasn't a time that we didn't talk. And I'm talking

384
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 12: about even in the breaks, much like how you and

385
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 12: I do, Like we go to break, but you and

386
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 12: I don't. We keep talking and that just becomes a

387
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 12: two hour comments And that's what it was like with Jim.

388
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 12: And I've told the story before. I'll tell it briefly

389
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 12: again because I know people have heard it before. But

390
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 12: I married a Cleveland girl and when her dad found

391
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 12: out what I did, he said, well, you got to

392
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 12: be like Jim Donovan. And I didn't know who Jim was.

393
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 12: I was from Montana and then Florida, I didn't know

394
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 12: who he was, and I started looking into who Jim

395
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 12: was and I said, well, this is pretty pretty ridiculous standard,

396
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 12: but I'll do the best I can. And he came

397
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 12: up to me once at Ohio State and it was

398
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 12: before I met him, and he said, I really like

399
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 12: what you do on the Ohio State stuff with the

400
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 12: Buckeye Blitz, and that that was as if God told

401
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 12: me I'd done it. Okay, it was like, that was good.

402
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 12: So get to know him the way that I did.

403
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 12: And I certainly didn't know him the way you did,

404
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 12: but get to know him the way that I did

405
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 12: was truly one of the more meaningful things that I've

406
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 12: ever ever happened in my career. And he's just he's

407
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 12: such a titan of this town. And I just thought

408
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 12: everybody crushed it yesterday, and you're right, if it doesn't win,

409
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 12: it's different. As the night ended, I went outside, I

410
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 12: was walking the dog and it was the most unbelievable

411
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 12: sunset for this time of year. I mean it was

412
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 12: it had every color in it, and the leaves were

413
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 12: changing in autumn and all of it. I thought, well,

414
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 12: I don't know how you do better than that. Cleveland

415
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 12: I don't that when that night, that day, all of

Speaker 1: Cleveand he.

433
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 14: Was just the sweetest, kindest person. And I think Jim

434
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 14: and him and the storytelling that he would get into

435
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 14: in a broadcast, it was just like anything I've.

436
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 12: Ever heard before.

437
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 14: I mean, I've worked in television and worked with some

438
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 14: great people, you know, hall of fame announcers, and I

439
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 14: would say Jim is definitely in that class as far

440
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 14: as a Hall of Fame announcer. And the way you

441
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 14: felt like you were just talking to your your best

442
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 14: friend or your grandfather and you know, walking through the

443
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 14: game or giving you advice, that that's who he was.

444
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 14: I mean, he was a fighter, a huge heart, and

445
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 14: you know he I think if you put into family

446
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 14: faith in football, but I don't know Jim. Jim might

447
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 14: have put football up there first with the Browns. So yeah,

448
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 14: I mean it's truly gonna gonna be missed and unreplaceable.

449

461
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 5: news of the weekend, with the passing of Jim Donovan

462
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 5: and what he meant to pretty much every Browns fan

463
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 5: that walked into that stadium, you felt there was a

464
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 5: special energy, there's a special moment that was happening. And

465
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 5: as the game went on and it was back and

466
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 5: forth and close, I don't know what you guys felt like,

467
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 5: and maybe it was different up in the booth, but

468
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 5: I just had this calm confidence. I'm like, we're gonna win.

469
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 5: There's gonna be we have to something that happens, and

470
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 5: we're gonna find a way to win down the stretch.

471
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 5: And that was just a feeling that I had. I

472
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 5: don't know if you felt it on the sideline, but

473
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 5: it was the feeling that even I felt the crowd

474
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 5: had around me, Like there was never a point where

475
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 5: people were frust traded or in doubt or like, oh,

476
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 5: here we go again. It was like, no, here we go,

477
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 5: find a way to win. And that was something that

478
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 5: I haven't felt certainly this season as a Browns fan.

479
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 11: Yeah, in that regard, it was awesome. Yeah, I mean

480
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 11: that's how we found the booth.

481
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: We just we had to win, Like there just wasn't

482
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 3: another outcome that seemed honestly feasible, even though we were

483
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 3: tremendous underdogs and nobody in the world thought we were

484
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 3: going to win that game.

485
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 11: We just had to win.

486
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 12: We had to win. I wonder what my score was.

487
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 12: It had to be close to.

488
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 11: Because I think I was like maybe twenty seven to

489
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 11: twenty four or twenty. I was the city.

490
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, but in a season, we we're gonna win when

491
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 12: everything that could go wrong has everything that had to

492
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 12: go right did? Yes?

493
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean half when Kyle Hamilton, when Jim knocked

494
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 3: the ball out of Kyle Hamilton's hands, it was just

495
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 3: like like, we're definitely winning now.

496
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 11: I mean, that was it.

497
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 12: That was game. That was good night, Irene. That's done done. Ski.

498
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 5: We had some friends that were up in the suite

499
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 5: with us, and I was sitting next to my buddy Patrick,

500
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 5: and he saw from our angle Kyle Hamilton making that

501
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 5: catch because he had caught it and then he bobbled it,

502
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 5: caught it and then bobbled it and dropped it and

503
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 5: I was just holding his arm, staring, and as soon

504
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 5: as my buddy Patrick saw what he thought was an interception,

505
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 5: he turned around, stood up and was about to throw

506
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 5: his hat, and I go.

507
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 12: Wait, wait, got that.

508
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 5: And it was one of those where like you could

509
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 5: just see the emotions going through his head of oh

510
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 5: my gosh, we lost to Holy Cow, we have a chance,

511
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 5: We're still going to.

512
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 12: Win this thing.

513
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 5: And I think that was the feeling of the day

514
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 5: from a lot of people. It was just that up

515
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 5: and down and that emotional roller coaster, but always knowing

516
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 5: where the roller coaster was going to end. At least

517
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 5: it felt like that. And and then the field goal,

518
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 5: and then Justin Tucker missing a field goal. I know

519
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 5: he's had a little bit of the yips lately, but

520
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 5: just the things that we needed to have bounce in

521
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 5: our favor kept happening.

522
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 11: Drops a wide open ball because of the sun.

523
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 13: Hilarious.

524
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 12: I was like, what happened there? Ye?

525
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 11: Late October?

526
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 12: Late October, come on, no, it was it was. It

527
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 12: was unbelievable. And the football was really good too. And

528
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 12: you saw Jamis Winston and you saw this offense, I

529
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 12: mean Cedric Tillman nine, Elijah Moore eight, Jerry Judy seven.

530
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 12: It's like, oh, okay, let's go. This was the type

531
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 12: of offense. This looked a lot like when they brought

532
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 12: in Flacco last year.

533
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 5: Honestly, Yeah, seeing the ball come out on time, throwing

534
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 5: some of those timing routes where Elijah Moore is at

535
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 5: the top of his break, ball's coming out, so he's

536
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 5: able to create just enough separation, balls on time. It's

537
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 5: on the money, making the catch, moving the sticks, converting

538
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 5: third down, you know, just doing the things that good

539
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 5: NFL offenses do that we haven't been able to do.

540
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 5: And even the times where you shoot yourself in the foot.

541
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 5: I think about, you know, we get down to the

542
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 5: red zone. Don't remember the exact moment, but Dwan has a.

543
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 12: False start and you're like, oh.

544
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 5: Come on, man, now we're in a really tough situation.

545
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 5: We were able to overcome those things, and it felt

546
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 5: like the leaders and the team and the energy of

547
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 5: the team was like, not gonna let any stub toe

548
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 5: stop a drive stop them from being able to go

549
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 5: and get what they need on that drop. Not kill

550
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 5: your spirit, so that when the other side of the

551
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 5: ball has to go out, they're ready to come out

552
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 5: and play their best football and not be discouraged about

553
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 5: what they saw on the other side of the field.

554
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 12: Yeah.

555
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 3: I mean you mentioned at third downs eight of fifteen,

556
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 3: it's better than fifty percent conversion four hundred and onety yards.

557
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: And I'm curious to get your thought. You were up

558
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: in a swite, so you do have a good vantage point.

559
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 3: I've watched back the first half on the All twenty two.

560
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: I haven't gotten through the whole thing, but with the

561
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: exception of I thought Elijah Moore was used a little

562
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 3: bit better in this game in terms of letting him

563
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 3: run routes like a receiver like we saw against the

564
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: Jets on that Thursday night where he was so so good.

565
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 11: It was a lot of the same concepts. It was

566
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 11: a lot of the same stuff.

567
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: It looked very much like Kevin's offense from the time

568
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 3: where you had Joe Flacco, where you had you know,

569
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 3: the good mix of the run game. You did some

570
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 3: pin pull, you did some you know, just traditional outside zone.

571
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 3: You did a play action from under center off of it,

572
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 3: took shots. I just thought it was Jamis's willingness to

573
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 3: throw the football into tight windows and to throw with anticipation.

574
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 11: That was the difference.

575
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 3: I think that he was playing like somebody who had

576
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: nothing to lose and was supremely confident. His abilities to

577
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: get the ball in. His ball placement allowed for yards

578
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 3: after the catch as well.

579
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 11: He was sensational. Yes, we got lucky.

580
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 3: He threw at least three that should have been picked,

581
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: but they weren't great wonderful. But he was making plays

582
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: with his arms two for three and thirty four yards

583
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 3: three touchdowns, rating of one point fifteen. I mean, I

584
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 3: think we've got a little bit of a sample sized

585
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 3: quarterback before three hundred yards. Basically every time quarterback after

586
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: three hundred yards, this offense can function with somebody who

587
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 3: was willing and also accurates down the field.

588
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 11: And we saw that with Flacco. Now we've seen that

589
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 11: with Jamis Winston.

590
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 3: And I think that you know, that's what this thing

591
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 3: can be, and we saw it by the way Sattery

592
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 3: tell me, looks great, physical, strong, uses his body well

593
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: as a shield, and then the ability to break tackles

594
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 3: and go get behind a defense was great.

595
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 12: See.

596
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 3: I mean he was a vertical guy at Tennessee. Some

597
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 3: time yards catch in the SEC and torched Georgia torched.

598
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 3: Alabama torched the best teams in that conference. There's something

599
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 3: about confidence when hey, when I run this route and

600
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 3: I get open, I'm.

601
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 11: Going to get the ball.

602
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, give me a shot.

603
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: And that was just unfortunately not the case through the

604
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 3: beginning of this season. And you see what this can

605
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: look like when that is the case.

606
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 11: Line.

607
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 3: By the way, incredible in pass pro cleave ta at

608
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 3: the stat he had four point three seconds I think

609
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 3: to throw on average, which was the best in years

610
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 3: in the NFL, and you could see it. I mean,

611
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: you get late, clean pockets, that's great, but you have

612
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: to make teams pay. And that's exactly what Jamis did.

613
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 15: Uh.

614
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 12: You mentioned that the ball to Kyle Hamilton and we

615
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 12: are all convinced. I like how you said that Jim

616
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 12: knocked that ball out. For some perspective on the late

617
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 12: great Jim Donovan, NBC Sports Mike Erico joining us on

618
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 12: the Twisted Tea, Hard Iced Tea Hotline. Mike, thank you

619
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 12: so much for joining us. Thank you even more so

620
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 12: for what you and Chris and the team did last

621
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 12: night of mentioning Jim. I cannot longtime NBC employee. Obviously

622
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,040

Speaker 8: our producer Rob Highland, you know Jim's Jim. Jim is

635
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 8: one of family because he called the games at NBC

636
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 8: for you know better part of a decade on and

637
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 8: off and the natural tie in addition to that of

638
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 8: being Chris's first partner in the booth, and our team

639
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 8: got the right shots and got the right pictures, And

Speaker 8: Northeast Ohio and people around football think of Jim and

643
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 8: the impact that he had and I'm so glad that

644
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 8: Chris was able to just kind of put that personal

645
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 8: touch on it, being that first guy to do a

646
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 8: game next to Chris, and Chris has done hundreds and

647
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 8: hundreds of games, and that first partner is always so

648
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 8: special because he could walk away and have a terrible

649
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 8: experience and go, I don't need to do this. But

650
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 8: Jim was the right guy for so many people to

651
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 8: do that with. And I'm so glad we're able to

652
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 8: spend a brief second to remember Jim at this at this.

653

Speaker 3: Time, Mike Nathan Sigura here, thank you so much for

654
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,680

655
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 3: as somebody who's done NFL, you've done Olympics, you've done

656
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 3: all the major sports, You've done all these huge things.

657
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 3: And Jim, you know, some people in this area only

658
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: know him as you know, he was a brown Side.

659
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: He's done all those things too, World Cups, all of it.

660
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 3: You know, how do you bring in and what did

661
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 3: you see from Jim in all those various roles that

662
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 3: kind of that natural passion for so many things in

663
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: terms of just telling the story of these great games,

664
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 3: regardless of what sport it is.

665
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, there's there's a couple of different categories here.

666
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 8: When you get to cover sports, you get to either

667
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 8: work at the national level, and we're blessed to do that,

668
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 8: and then sometimes you get to call a team and

669
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 8: be the voice of a team, and there's a different

670
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 8: is the same job theoretically, and it's not just do

671
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 8: you go crazy get wild when a touchdown scored for

672
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 8: your team, but you got to feel the franchise and

673
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 8: you got to feel their heartbreak, their disappointment and very often,

674
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 8: you know this is talking about the presidents of the

675
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 8: United States, very often like sometimes you become the comforter

676
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 8: in chief, like for a lot of fans and Browns

677
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 8: fans have needed that for many years. Here. You need

678
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 8: that person who understands, who gets it, who gets you.

679
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 8: And Jim did that, and not only did they have

680
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 8: the ability to do that, but also on a national

681
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 8: level when he was doing the national stuff back earlier

682
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 8: in his career, you know, it was the guy who

683
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 8: showed up on TV and just had that very trusted voice,

684
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 8: face and approach to the game with an energy and

685
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 8: kind of a juice and a lilt in his voice

686
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 8: that make you feel like the guy who's talking about

687
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 8: the game was thrilled to be there. It didn't matter

688
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 8: the hotel, the travel, the seven day work week, whatever

689
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 8: it was. Jim was just always happy to be there,

690
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 8: describing sports and sharing what he saw and observed with

691
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,719
Speaker 8: you home. That's not a quality that you can go

692
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 8: to school and learn. That's an innate personality trait that

693
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 8: you're born with, that you have that you practice on

694
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 8: a daily basis. You guys lived it far more than

695
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 8: I did. My time's around Jim too brief for me,

696
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 8: but over the years, you know, whether it's the Browns

697
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 8: doing a Monday night game or coming to Cleveland for

698
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 8: something else, see Jim when the Calves had their role

699
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 8: and I was living, you know, in the arena downtown

700
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 8: in Cleveland, whatever its name was at that point. There

701
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 8: was just a warmth and love of sports that Jim

702
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 8: had that was genuine that you got. And I think

703
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 8: anybody who listened to Jim, you're a Browns fan or not,

704
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 8: you're like, this guy loves what he does. And I

705
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 8: think that came through when he did the national stuff,

706
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 8: and of course in spades with his work not just

707
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 8: with the Browns but in the local TV market.

708
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 11: As well, when.

709
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 3: You said you found out in the production meeting Saturday,

710
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,239
Speaker 3: you're getting ready for your game Sunday night, and by

711
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 3: the way, you guys end up having a pretty entertaining

712
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 3: game by the end of it.

713
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 13: There.

714
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you saw the results were you were you

715
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 3: kind of follow when you saw that the Browns beat

716
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 3: the Ravens, which was incredibly improbable. I would imagine everybody

717
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 3: outside of us who knew Jim and were just like,

718
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: they have to win.

719
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 11: There's just no other way.

720
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 3: Always kind of your reaction too, to the Browns actually

721
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,959
Speaker 3: getting that win, knowing the emotion and what he meant

722
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 3: to everybody.

723
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 8: I'll tell you two stupid things here that are just

724
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 8: really unique to me. And this is not a time

725
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 8: or day about me, But when I heard the new

726
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 8: Saturday Saturday Afternoon, the first thing I you know, we

727
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 8: kind of mentioned it and just talked about and just

728
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 8: took our moment to just share a little thought about

729
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 8: Jim and seeing Jim a couple of years ago when

730
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 8: we did the Hall of Fame game and the Browns

731
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 8: were playing there and talked about that for a moment,

732
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 8: which was really the last time I got to see

733
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 8: Jim and talk to him for a little bit, and

734
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 8: then and then I opened up the computersay, who did

735
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 8: the Browns play again tomorrow? Because you know you're doing

736
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 8: your game and you look at the schedule during the

737
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 8: week and you got it, who's playing? You go oh, okay, okay.

738
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 8: And then, honestly, and this is just being super candid,

739
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 8: because Andrew is one of my friends. He's part of

740
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 8: our Syracuse mafia. He's one of my favorite people in

741
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 8: this business. I was like, man, Andrew's gonna have and

742
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 8: you two Nates, but especially thinking Andrew, because our friendship

743
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 8: is gonna have like one of those days that you

744
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 8: just hope that you hit the right note in the

745
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 8: right tone and you do the job the right way,

746
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 8: and you guys did. I popped in and listened to

747
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 8: a little of y'all on the NFL app during my

748
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 8: day and then couldn't wait to hear the call at

749
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 8: the end of the game when I watched that last

750
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 8: play play out for all of us, this is our business,

751
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 8: our industry, our little world, and anybody's in that little world,

752
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 8: you kind of care about them in a different way.

753
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 8: And I was so glad to so glad to hear

754
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 8: how you all handled the excitement of the play, beating

755
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 8: the big team on the block in the division here

756
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 8: in Baltimore along Pittsburgh, of course, but also just to

757
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 8: hear the emotion of it and to see it. Then

758
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 8: as I saw the video this morning, it was like

759
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 8: all those thoughts I had on Saturday, and just watching

760
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 8: them play out on Sunday, I'm like, you know, that's

761
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 8: that Every once in a while, and no matter what your

762
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 8: depths of your religious beliefs are from non existent, well

763
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 8: sometimes you go, well, that just doesn't happen by accident,

764
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 8: and that just kind of felt like one of those

765
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 8: one of those days. And you guys handled it with

766
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 8: extraordinary class, care, passion and connected, which is what Jim

767
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 8: always did in his broadcast every time I got to

768
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 8: listen to him.

769
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, Mike, that's the thing, the word connected that you

770
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 12: use there, And you know you're a Troy guy. And

771
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 12: in this part of the country, the winters sometimes start early,

772
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 12: the winds maybe aren't as plentiful as we would like,

773
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 12: but the warm blanket is the voice sometimes of the

774
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 12: man who's the voice of your team. And there's a

775
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 12: relationship in this part of the country with our sports

776
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 12: teams that I think is a little different than everywhere

777
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 12: else because needed and I think when you think of

778
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 12: the importance of it, that it just is a little

779
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 12: bit different. And for a guy who's a Boston native

780
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 12: to so be so specifically Cleveland and represent this fan

781
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 12: base in this team, that part of it hits a

782
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 12: little different too, does it not.

783
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 8: Yes, it's a great observation, and it's well said. Hey,

784
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 8: I'm a New York guy. I grew up in New York.

785
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 8: I grew up a Mets and Jets fan as a kid.

786
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 8: I've outgrown that, thankfully. I grew up a Jets fan.

787
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 8: What lived in Michigan half my life, and I'm associated

788
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 8: with Michigan far more, far more than I am New York.

789
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 8: And I didn't even do local sports or a local

790
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 8: team here.

791
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 12: I just live here.

792
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 13: You know.

793
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 8: I think all of us who live in the Midwest,

794
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 8: live in Flyover Country like to talk about the Jets

795
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 8: and the Cowboys one more time on Get Up or

796
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 8: the other shows or Steven A. Smith Show, and you know,

797
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 8: and look, it's a ratings deal. The Fox shows in

798
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 8: the morning do it too. I mean, I'm done. Like,

799
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 8: there are teams and there are other cities league. How

800
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 8: many people talked about what the Guardians were doing this

801
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 8: year during the year, very few? And then they get

802
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 8: in the playoff series with the Yankees. Oh my gosh,

803
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 8: this team, this team is really good. They that way

804
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 8: from the start of the year just because of all

805
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 8: of us living here and in flyover country. You don't

806
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 8: get the publicity, but the people who are here get

807
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 8: the people who care. And that brings us back to

808
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 8: gym and that connective point and it goes beyond the

809
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 8: Browns games. For me, you know, a travel around the

810
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 8: country and having a lot of people who do this

811
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 8: for a living, local sports on the television news past

812
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 8: becomes a little bit of an accessory in the bigger markets,

813
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 8: not in cities like Cleveland, cities like Detroit and the

814
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 8: market that I live in, not in Chicago. People want

815
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 8: that as part of their news and we see it

816
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 8: on Sunday night football you go to for a prime

817
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 8: time game, it's the top story in the newscaster for

818
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 8: two or three days. Right. People are excited about the game.

819
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 8: The sports department has two or three people covering the

820
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 8: Browns and the Guardians is a must. And the Calves

821
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 8: when they're playing well, right, there's that connection that's different.

822
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 8: I think that cemented Jim's connection because not only was

823
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 8: he with you with Doug for so many years in

824
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 8: the booth for those sixteen Sundays, so many of them

825
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 8: disappointing with the Browns, but he was also with you

826
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 8: every night dinner eleven o'clock news, that presence, doing some

827
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 8: news as well during his time. Like that local connection,

828
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 8: you become somebody who's connected with everybody in the city

829
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 8: and they know you because they see you around, they

830
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 8: see you at the community events, they see what your

831
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 8: connection is, and you can't fake that. That's not a

832
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 8: guy who's comeing off a tomato truck from some other

833
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 8: city and is doing his three years and moving on.

834
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 8: He put down roots because he left a part of

835
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 8: him here along the way, and that, to me just

836
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 8: really galvanized Jim's connection to Cleveland because he wasn't just

837
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 8: the voice of the Browns. He was the dean of

838
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 8: the TV sports departments in town and you know, a

839
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 8: big sports Tayle. I'm gonna see what Jim has to

840
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 8: say about this tonight, right, Just that doesn't happen in

841
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 8: a lot of cities, and so to me. That cemented

842
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 8: the connection even more and the right guy to do

843
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 8: it too, to be through and through Cleveland, even though

844
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 8: your birth certificate may say some other part of the country.

845
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 12: Mike, we thank you so much for your time and

846

Speaker 12: and giving us some of your time today. Thanks pal,

849
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:35,719

Speaker 8: and many more wins to come hopefully for Cleveland. That

853
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 8: was fun to watch. We are dying to get back

854
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 8: there for a Sunday night game. I no, we're on

855
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 8: the schedule at the end of the year. Doesn't That

856
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 8: doesn't look like a game that was gonna hold up,

857
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 8: But who knows. Strange things happen, So keep it rolling.

858
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 8: And I appreciate you reaching out to me to come

859
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 8: on today. It's an honor to share the thoughts of

860
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 8: one of the truly, truly great people to do this,

861
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 8: So you all take care and are thank you.

862
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 12: Mike.

863
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 8: Thoughts with y'all.

864
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 12: Thanks Mike, that was beautiful. You got Mike Rico NBC

865
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 12: Sports joining us on the Twisted T Hard Iced Tea hotline.

866
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 12: Incredible stuff there. Hof When what was your introduction to Jim.

867
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 5: I think the day that I got here to do

868
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 5: my press conference after being drafted. I remember meeting him

869
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 5: and Doug Deacon that were in that press conference, and

870
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 5: then they were standing as I walked out, you know,

871
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 5: kind of be fuddled after meeting the local media for

872
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 5: the first time being drafted I think twenty four hours before,

873
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 5: and he became a warm, friendly face immediately, and you

874
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 5: realized that this was a person that you could connect

875
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 5: with that was as much a fan as he was

876
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 5: a broadcaster. And I think the connection that he made

877
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 5: within the locker room with a lot of players. You saw,

878
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 5: first of all after the game, how many players were

879
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 5: tweeting and putting on social media this one's for you, Jim,

880
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 5: and things of that nature that immediately when you meet

881
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 5: a guy like that, you know, hey, we got somebody

882
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 5: special that's on our side that's trying to tell our

883
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 5: story to the fans.

884
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 11: Both said earlier.

885
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 3: I mean, for at least a decade that you were here,

886
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 3: there were two things you could count on that you

887
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 3: would be elite at left tackle and that Jim would

888
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 3: be elite in the booth. And that's what that's what

889
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 3: we had. That was Cleveland football, you know. So yeah,

890
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 3: and he does he part. It's because I mean players,

891
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 3: you know, I've been fortunate in my role right to

892
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 3: be able to have really good relationships with a lot

893
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 3: of players. You and I certainly have gotten closer now

894
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 3: post your career, but from the time that I was here,

895
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 3: when somebody was drafted, I was the first person they

896
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 3: talked to. And you know, you, like anything, you have

897
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 3: your guys and your favorites or whatever. But I think

898
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: that's such an important thing. And when you guys players

899
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 3: know if somebody's a phony or whatever, if they genuinely

900
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 3: are supporting you, and you guys always knew. Jim was

901
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 3: absolutely genuine in his support and that was as straight

902
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 3: a shooter as they came. That that matters right in

903
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 3: the locker.

904
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 5: Room, absolutely, and I think he was on your side.

905
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 5: But he also didn't sugarcoated if things were there, And

906
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 5: I think that's why he connected so well to the fans,

907
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 5: because they didn't feel like he was just some homer

908
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 5: paid by the team, but also from a player standpoint,

909
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 5: it was like your coach being up there, Like, if

910
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 5: your coach tells you did something wrong, you should probably

911
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 5: pay attention. If Jim is sounding the alarm or being

912
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 5: honest in the booth the way he always was, like,

913
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 5: you can't get mad at him, right, He's not criticizing

914
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 5: you as a person. He's criticizing the performance and being

915
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 5: real about what he's seeing to paint a beautiful canvas

916
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 5: for all the fans that are sitting at home listening

917
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 5: to his broadcast.

918
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 12: I'm so glad you brought that up, because I think

919
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 12: that is that's that's it, because when you do that job,

920
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 12: you are the conduit between team and fan. And yes,

921
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 12: he was compensated by the Cleveland Browns to be the

922
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 12: voice of Cleveland Browns, but you have to have the

923
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 12: credibility with the fans, and to have that credibility, you

924
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 12: have to be able to explain and speak what you see.

925
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 12: And you can do that. And I know this because

926
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 12: he and I have talked about this before and we

927
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 12: were talking once about you know, especially now with as

928
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 12: as I was getting older and Jim was getting older

929
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 12: and going down and talking to guys in the locker

930
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 12: room and and I do radio down in Columbus and

931
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 12: and this show that we do. I've always felt like

932
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 12: I could say anything that I said on the airwaves

933
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 12: to a player, and if I couldn't do it, then

934
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 12: I'm not saying it. And that's how that that he

935
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 12: and I we connected on that exactly. He said. He

936
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 12: goes critical, yes, fair always, and it can't be personal.

937
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 12: That's the key.

938
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 11: And I give I'll tell you what.

939
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 3: I give this organization a great deal of credit because

940
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people were probably even concerned

941
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 3: for me when I went into that role, like could

942
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 3: I be fair and be honest about what I was seeing?

943
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 12: And they give me.

944
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 3: You know, there's Cleveland Browns Daily and then there's the games.

945
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 3: And in the game, it's you call it like you

946
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 3: see it, you know, as long as you're fair. And

947
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 3: boy did I get my second game ever in the

948
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 3: booth was where we blew and we lost an unlosable

949
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 3: game to the New York Jets and had to be critical.

950
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 3: They were like, well, okay, all right, you're gonna tell

951
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 3: it like it is. Yeah, this is bad, this is unfathomable.

952
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, he did such a great job with that.

953
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 3: It is And the thing is, when Jim was critical

954
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 3: or you knew it wasn't good enough, it was coming

955
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 3: from a place like I just want this to be

956
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 3: good because we need to win. This is about we're

957
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 3: all in this together. You're saying what the fans are feeling, like,

958
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 3: come on, we got it, Hey, come on, hey, hey,

959
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 3: we got to be better than that.

960
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 9: You know.

961
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 5: I think it's cool hearing a lot of people talk

962
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 5: about how great of a broadcaster Jim was, which anybody

963
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 5: that heard his broadcast understands how talented he was. But

964
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 5: you hear so many people talking about the type of

965
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 5: person he was and the human he was off the field.

966
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 5: And what you just said reminded me. This weekend, I

967
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 5: walked down the stairs and my son and my eldest

968
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 5: daughter were talking about their sister and not very nice terms,

969
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 5: and I said, don't say anything about your sister that

970
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 5: you wouldn't say if she was standing in the room

971
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 5: with you, right, And I think that's such a measurement

972
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 5: of like the quality of human being that you're around,

973
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 5: if they're the same person, whether the people were talking

974
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 5: about or the things we're talking about, you'd be willing

975
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 5: to say if they were right there, because they're honest,

976
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 5: they're from the heart right, they're truthful. But that just

977
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 5: speaks to the type of person he was and why

978
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 5: he was such a great conduit between players and fans,

979
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 5: because he was going to say the same thing no

980
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 5: matter what. He was calling balls and strikes in a

981
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,919
Speaker 5: beautiful manner with only an artist's brushstroke would be able

982
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 5: to do. But he was very fair about it and

983
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 5: very entertaining with it. And that's exactly the type of

984
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 5: person he was off the field.

985
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 12: Yeah, old school, you know. That's the other thing, a

986
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 12: very old school. Like you think of the people that

987
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 12: he admired, those Boston sports Johnny Mosse, those Boston sports

988
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,959
Speaker 12: legends that he would like listen to, and he would

989
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 12: bring the recorder. And we just talked this summer about

990
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 12: right before you guys took off to the Green Brier

991
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 12: and he was on and we were talking about I

992
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 12: saw the Bobby or statue that's outside of the garden

993
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 12: and he was at the retold that story. I'd loved

994
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 12: to hear him tell that story about he was at

995
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 12: that game. He would bring his tape recorder. He would

996
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,240
Speaker 12: video or not video, there's no video. He would record

997
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 12: himself into his recorder into into a cassette and then

998
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 12: play it back like he was practicing as he was

999
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 12: at the Old Boston Garden for that game.

1000
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 11: He would send it to the announcers.

1001
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 3: Well, that'd be the Celtics announcer, the Bruins announcer, and

1002
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 3: then there was Actually Jason Lloyd and Zach Jackson have

1003
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 3: done a great job with some of their pieces on

1004
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 3: the Athletic and one of them, they were telling the

1005
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 3: story that he went I think he was twelve at

1006
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 3: the time and went to Bobby Orr's hockey camp and

1007
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 3: brought the tapes and was like, hey, would you listen

1008
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 3: to him? And Bobby Orr was like, you're pretty good

1009
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 3: at this. You might you might want you might want

1010
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 3: to do this. And so I thought that was a

1011
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 3: cool story that I got from their article. But that's

1012
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 3: why I say people all the time, like, you don't understand.

1013
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 3: This is all he's ever wanted to do. Yes, he

1014
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 3: knew he wanted to do it from the time that

1015
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 3: he was a very young man. He was as as

1016
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 3: in awe of and had the utmost respect for the

1017
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 3: play by play guys, maybe sometimes as much as even

1018
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 3: the players or the teams. That was what he was,

1019
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 3: that was what he was into. So to think about

1020
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 3: somebody whose life's work or their childhood dream was to

1021
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 3: do this started by recording themselves in arenas. Could you

1022
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 3: imagine me an arena guy sitting next to you as

1023
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 3: a kid and doing play by player like what was

1024
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 3: going on here? And then he ends up becoming the

1025
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 3: voice of a franchise that will echo in eternity forever

1026
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 3: that there you will always be linked to the Cleveland

1027
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 3: Browns and be the voice of the Cleveland Browns. It's

1028
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 3: just it's amazing, And I think that's part of it,

1029
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 3: Like when you talk about he is so genuine because

1030
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 3: this is genuinely it's just him and this is what

1031
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 3: he's wanted to be. He didn't say, oh I have

1032
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 3: a cool voice, or oh you know, I'm gonna broadcasting

1033
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 3: seems like a good thing for me. No, this is

1034
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 3: was in his blood, is all he wanted to do.

1035
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 3: And I feel like that resonates also with Cleveland. This

1036
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 3: is a hard working town where people have dreams and

1037
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 3: they go and they work for them. They say this

1038
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 3: is who I want to be or this is what

1039
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 3: I want to and nothing's going to be given to me.

1040
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna work every step of the way to do it.

1041
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 11: And he did that. I think that's it's incredible.

1042
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 3: That's why he's in many ways a broadcast hero and

1043
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 3: an icon to so many.

1044
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 11: And I do think you're right.

1045
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 3: His style is he's, you know, was a rare breed

1046
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 3: at this point, so classic, and it's so good.

1047
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 12: He's incredible. Yeah, I don't there won't. You're already see

1048
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 12: fewer and fewer fewer people do it that way, and

1049
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 12: I hope not. I hope that not, because there's something

1050
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 12: comforting to me to hear someone describe a game the way. Now,

1051
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 12: you're not gonna have the gifts Jim had, but to

1052
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 12: go about it that way with.

1053
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 11: Just the detail.

1054
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 3: As my friend Beatbocks would say, he paints a or

1055
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 3: he weaves a rich tapestry with his words, and he

1056
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 3: must certainly did that absolutely.

1057
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 12: Second hour of the program coming up next to listen

1058
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,080

Speaker 1: Now Live in Ohio on eight fifty ESPN Cleveland.

1063
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 13: I first met him when he was with NBC and

1064
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,280
Speaker 13: I was doing the Chiefs radio games in Kansas City,

1065
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 13: and that was in the late eighties early nineties, as

1066
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 13: I recall us Bet and I had heard his highlights

1067
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 13: before and heard his voice before, but was always mesmerized

1068
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 13: by his terrific voice and delivery. And then when you

1069
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 13: meet him with a big smile, you Jimmy always came

1070
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 13: up with a handshake, and he was always so kind

1071
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 13: and gave such great warmth that you always he always

1072
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 13: stuck in your mind, is one of the guys you'd

1073
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 13: kind of like to be like, kind of like to

1074
00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 13: follow in his footsteps. And I can see why Cleveland

1075
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 13: embraced him so much because of his energetic style and

1076
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 13: the way he was on the air, but off the

1077
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 13: air with his wife and daughter Meghan. You do that

1078
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 13: he was a great husband and terrific father, and he

1079
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 13: really had the complete life.

1080
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,120

00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 12: really appreciate everybody in that impact for doing so. The

1086
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 12: Hoff is here, Z is here, and I am here

1087
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 12: as well. Here and we have Chris Rose, I believe

1088
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 12: on the Twisted Tea Hard Iced Tea hotline. Chris, thank

1089
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 12: you so much for your time, Bud, your reaction to yesterday,

1090
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 12: and it was storybook palette really was.

1091
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 15: It was guys, sciate you having me on today. It

1092
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 15: was a it was to real like watching the games

1093
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 15: with my NFL Network duties. I'm watching with a bunch

1094
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 15: of guys and have been for a dozen years. They

1095
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 15: know where my passions lie. As far as the game went,

1096
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 15: it was great to see them resemble the team that

1097
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 15: we thought that they could be in the preseason Nathan

1098
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 15: when we were doing the games, so when we were

1099
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 15: talking about it, that part was special. The rest of it, obviously,

1100
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 15: I thought a lot about you guys, and and you

1101
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 15: Nathan and Andrew up there in the booth, and and

1102
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 15: obviously about Jim and his family. You know, these jobs

1103
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 15: that we get are they're more than just jobs. We

1104
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 15: are connective tissue to communities, to fan bases. There's nothing

1105
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 15: that gets people excited, riled up, frustrated, passionate, loving, energized,

1106
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 15: deflated more so than the sports world. We go by

1107
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 15: jerseys of our favorite players. We don't do that for

1108
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 15: our favorite actors or our favorite musicians or politicians. We

1109
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,720
Speaker 15: don't do that. We do it for our athletes because

1110
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 15: we love the way this makes us feel. And so

1111
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 15: when you get people who are have the responsibility of

1112
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 15: telling the story and connecting the organizations and the players

1113
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 15: and the athletes and the coaches to the fans, that's

1114
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 15: a huge duty. And the way that Jim did it

1115
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 15: was incredible, It really will. It combined the perfect tone

1116
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 15: of seriousness when he needed that, he would sprinkle in

1117
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 15: great humor, and a guy who needed it. Over twenty

1118
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,479
Speaker 15: five years, when we saw as many losses as we did,

1119
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 15: it would have been very easy for him to be

1120
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 15: a caustic binner and that is so not who he was.

1121
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 15: And I just think we're all thankful as Brown fans

1122
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 15: that we had him in our lives for twenty five

1123
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 15: years calling games and for almost forty years in this community.

1124
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 3: Did you watching that game We've talked about it. I

1125
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 3: kind of felt this way. Hoff said he felt this way.

1126
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 3: Did you just know they were going to win that game?

1127
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 3: Like did you just feel like it just had to

1128
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 3: be that way?

1129
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 15: Well, when when Bateman and Hamilton both had footballs in

1130
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 15: their myths and didn't catch them, like those are usually

1131
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 15: places that are made against the Browns, and so when

1132
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 15: they didn't, I was like, what's going on here? Like

1133
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,760
Speaker 15: it just you're like, okay, this is it. And even

1134
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 15: as I'm watching the game, my oldest son Josh is

1135
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 15: texting me. He's like, we're gonna do it, aren't we.

1136
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 15: I was like, I think so. He's like, come on, Dad,

1137
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 15: this is like different And I was like, you know what,

1138
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 15: but you're right. So yeah, it was. It was excruciating

1139
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 15: watching that last drive, but it meanted the ball sailed

1140
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 15: out of the en zone at the end. It was great.

1141
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 15: It was great.

1142
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 12: Yes, it was Rosie.

1143
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:25,479
Speaker 13: It's Joe.

1144
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 5: Good to speak with you. It's been so long since

1145
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 5: I saw you in London a few days ago.

1146
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 11: Across the state side conversation.

1147
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 5: I hope your trip to Paris was well and you

1148
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 5: finally got to sleep a little bit.

1149
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 12: I know when we were doing the game in London.

1150
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 5: Not a lot of shut eye for you with the

1151
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,879
Speaker 5: time change and everything. But I'm just curious with your

1152
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 5: experience with Jim Donovan if you have any good anecdotes

1153
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 5: of times that you've spent with him or things that

1154
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 5: you've possibly learned from him over the years and as

1155
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 5: you have gotten to know him in his role with

1156
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 5: the Cleveland Browns.

1157
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 8: So it's interesting.

1158
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 15: You know, I haven't lived in Cleveland for basically since

1159
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 15: I was a kid in college.

1160
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 12: That was a long time ago.

1161
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 15: But I you know, once I became a professional in

1162
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 15: the same business that Jim Donovan did, and once I

1163
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 15: started kind of covering the Browns and coming around practices,

1164
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 15: that's kind of where our relationship started to grow. And

1165
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 15: then obviously in twenty twenty three, myself and Andrew split

1166
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 15: split duties while Jim was taking care of his health,

1167
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 15: and all I can tell you is that he was

1168
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 15: great during that time. It was a job that even

1169
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 15: though I dreamt of doing it as a kid, I

1170
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 15: didn't want to do it in that situation. And the

1171
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 15: first night I had a game was that Monday night

1172
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 15: or week two in Pittsburgh, and about an hour before

1173
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 15: kick Jim sends me a text he goes, have the

1174
00:56:55,600 --> 00:57:00,040
Speaker 15: time of your life. You're going to crush it, and

1175
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 15: that just it kind of put me at ease, and

1176
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 15: I appreciated it so much that a guy who he

1177
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 15: didn't have to do that, he didn't have to send

1178
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 15: me a note. We weren't close friends, for instance, but

1179
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 15: he reached out and he thought enough of me and

1180
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 15: and the respect for the position of calling the Browns

1181
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 15: games on radio, to just say, hey, listen, go enjoy yourself,

1182
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 15: go relax. And then, of course the first place, the

1183
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 15: timp Big six, I was like, Jim, where are you help?

1184
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 12: Oh?

1185
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 11: I remember that one.

1186
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 12: I remember that one.

1187
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 11: Look at you man, Welcome, Welcome to the both brother.

1188
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 12: No worry DA.

1189
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 15: I won't repeat what was said during the commercial break

1190
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 15: right after that.

1191
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 3: You know you're talking about Jim and just you know,

1192
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 3: to see the outpouring of support. You're in this industry

1193
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 3: where you know people know you through your voice and

1194
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 3: they know you because they've listened to you. And the

1195
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 3: thing that I just keep going back to that is

1196
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 3: so powerful to me is just what a big orbit

1197
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 3: he had, right and how universally beloved that he was.

1198
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 11: And I think that, you know, to see.

1199
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 3: The world at large react this. We just had Mike

1200
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 3: Urico on who shared great words. We heard from Kevin

1201
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 3: Harlan right before that. We had collins Worth last night

1202
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 3: on the broadcast. But there aren't many like that, not

1203
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 3: only in his style, it's what he wanted to do

1204
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 3: his whole life, but to be that genuine and to

1205
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 3: be that beloved is an incredibly powerful connection that he had,

1206
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, connective tissue for Browns fans worldwide.

1207
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, we've I got to be honest with you.

1208
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 15: In Cleveland, we have had the good fortune of having

1209
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 15: some amazing, amazing voices call our games. And for me

1210
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 15: as a kid, I wanted to be Nev Chandler, who

1211
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 15: you know, was the voice of the Browns in the

1212
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 15: eighties and that that was really kind of during the

1213
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 15: glory years of when I was growing up, winning five

1214
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 15: division titles and making the AFC Championship in three or

1215
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 15: four seasons and stuff like that. You know, Joe Tate,

1216
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 15: the legendary voice of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tom Hamilton who's

1217
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 15: done it for three decades for the Guardians now and

1218
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 15: Jim and it's just it is so special when you

1219
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 15: have those people that are here that want to immerse

1220
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 15: themselves in a community, that don't want to use Cleveland

1221
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 15: as a stepping stone, that want to be something to

1222
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 15: everybody in this town. And I imagine that his family

1223
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 15: does take sols in the fact that this is a

1224
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 15: business where people are constantly taking shots at you. I

1225
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 15: can't stand the way this person calls a game or

1226
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 15: what this person says on TV. When you're universally loved.

1227
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 15: That is a rarity, man is a rarity. It's and

1228
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 15: not once did I ever hear yeah, Jim's okay, he's

1229
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 15: a good way. What you always heard was he is great.

1230
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 15: He is energetic, He tells a tremendous story, He paints

1231
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 15: an incredible picture, and he has an aura of positivity

1232
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 15: that is not found in a franchise that doesn't have

1233
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 15: a ton of great moments in the last two and

1234
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 15: a half decades. It really is. It's something special, and

1235
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 15: I think we could probably all learn something from Jim.

1236
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 12: That's why bakes Rookie Year. Once he came in and

1237
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 12: the change happened twenty twenty in COVID where you guys

1238
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 12: were the entire conduit. I mean, it was all that's

1239
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 12: missing is all of you and all of that. And

1240
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 12: and also last season when he was able to return.

1241
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 12: I mean, that's that's why those all meant so much,

1242
01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 12: because what you just described with with Nev Chris, Jim

1243
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 12: didn't have that. It was kind of the only thing missing.

1244
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 12: He did not have that consistent success season in and

1245
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 12: season out, being with calling playoff games and being able

1246
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 12: to do those things, and to go to Pittsburgh and

1247
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 12: call a playoff win, to go to Kansas City and

1248
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 12: on the precipice of getting a victory in that one,

1249
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 12: and he didn't even get to go to Pittsburgh. I

1250
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 12: don't think that's true.

1251
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 3: He did call a playoff game in person, a victory

1252
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 3: in a playoff game in person.

1253
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 12: That's right, because he was you were the only one

1254
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 12: there was there. You were there, that's right. In an

1255
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 12: empty stadium. Yeah, oh my god, that's right. But he

1256
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 12: got to call that game, got to call that game, yes,

1257
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 12: And so that's right, of course. But that and and

1258
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 12: the Jets game. You think about all of them, the

1259
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 12: Jets game with Bake, the rookie year too, like all

1260
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 12: of those things. The winning. He deserved that winning, damnit.

1261
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 3: He did yea, yes, he most certainly, most certainly did.

1262
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 3: And I mean you think about the Jets game last year,

1263
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 3: you think about the Steelers game where it comes back

1264
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 3: and smashes the guitar and you win on dtr leads

1265
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 3: and improbable game winning drive against the Steelers defense and

1266
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 3: d Hot puts it through. Yeah, it was that's the

1267
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 3: That's the only thing that he didn't have was winning

1268
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 3: and getting to an AFC championship game, a home playoff game,

1269
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 3: all the things that in other cities. You know, if

1270
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 3: you're the voice of the Kansas City Chiefs, you would

1271
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 3: probably take that for granted. That's like automatic, but it

1272
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 3: didn't matter. And his greatness was still unparalleled. His passion

1273
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 3: was unparalleled, and it is kind of remarkable. And obviously,

1274
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 3: you know, I think so many people obviously one of

1275
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 3: the Browns when they came. But that's what I wish

1276
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 3: we'd won a Super Bowl so Jim could have called,

1277
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 3: you know, for Jim then you know, obviously hopefully that

1278
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 3: still comes to be in the in the future. But yeah,

1279
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 3: that's that's what makes it even more remarkable to be

1280
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 3: It's one thing to be beloved, and you think about

1281
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 3: even we talked about sometimes uniforms, all those uniforms are

1282
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 3: associated with them winning, and so people like him though

1283
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 3: maybe they're not the best or whatever.

1284
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 11: Could I'm sure it happens.

1285
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 3: With you know, voices of a team that just doesn't

1286
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 3: as because they're the voices of winning, or Jim to

1287
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 3: be this be loved and quite frankly, was not the

1288
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 3: voice of winning or you know, super bowls or greatness.

1289
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 11: Or all of those things, and it didn't matter.

1290
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 12: No, that's remarkable, No, I guess it's incredible, right, guys.

1291
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 15: He might he might have the worst record of any

1292
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 15: play by play guy ever. If you think about it

1293
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 15: like that isn't that's incredible? But he walked in like

1294
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 15: like like the team won eighty percent of the games

1295
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 15: when he called it like that's that's think of how

1296
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:37,919
Speaker 15: upset we all in our teams don't win. It's it's heartbreaking,

1297
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 15: it's frustrating, it's all that sort of stuff. And I'm

1298
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 15: telling you, for people that aren't in this industry, the

1299
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 15: number of people you'll meet who are just you know,

1300
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 15: after decades of working, they're like, ah, got to travel

1301
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 15: to another game, I've got to cover this, I've got

1302
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 15: to get on this flight. It is a wonderful business

1303
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 15: to be in. Are there parts of it that are fresh?

1304
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 15: Of course there are, But when you would talk to Jim,

1305
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 15: there wasn't anything but the excitement, the electricity of being

1306
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 15: at a ballgame, of wanting to tell a great story

1307
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 15: and paint a pick. And he loved every minute of it.

1308
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,959
Speaker 15: And one of the many things I always appreciated about

1309
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 15: his style was that yet he works for the Browns,

1310
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 15: but he's honest. We as fent honesty. We don't always

1311
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 15: want to hear that everything's that. Everything is the ebbs

1312
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 15: and flows from year to year are they'll take you

1313
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 15: on an emotional roller coaster that you have to double

1314
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 15: tuck your seat belt to make sure you're ready for it.

1315
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 15: And when things weren't going great, he would tell us that,

1316
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 15: and even if he didn't want to hear it, I

1317
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 15: thought it was really really important, and it's something that

1318
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 15: I think that a lot of us that are in

1319
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 15: this business can take to heart.

1320
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 5: One of the things Chris, that I get to tell

1321
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 5: people about you, I our few times we've got to

1322
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 5: work together, that makes it so enjoyable for me is

1323
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 5: that you bring that energy and that excitement that enthusiasm

1324
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 5: to every game. You know, that was the theme for

1325
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 5: our production meetings going into the one in five New

1326
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:25,919
Speaker 5: England Patriots versus the one in five Jacksonville Jaguars. It's like, hey, guys,

1327
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 5: this is the only game on TV show that energy,

1328
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 5: and I'm like, I'm with Chris Rose, this is gonna

1329
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 5: be fun. I don't care if this is the one

1330
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 5: in five super Bowl. And I think that's one of

1331
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 5: the things that you do the best. And I'll, you know,

1332
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 5: maybe say that it's partly because he grew up in Cleveland,

1333
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 5: and so.

1334
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 12: That's part of the fabric.

1335
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 5: Of who you are and it comes across when you

1336
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 5: are on the air. But give us a little context,

1337
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 5: because I think that's maybe the thing that we should

1338
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 5: highlight the most about Jim is that he was so

1339
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 5: good and so beloved. Even though when I was there,

1340
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 5: we want one in thirty one my last two seasons,

1341
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 5: and Jim was the same energetic guy going into every

1342
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 5: single one of those games, and he brought joy with

1343
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 5: everything he did, and even in the good and the bad,

1344
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 5: there was joy behind it and an optimism that I

1345
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 5: think seeped through the fan base. And that's why he

1346
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 5: was such a perfect conduit between the players and the

1347
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 5: fans because he was able to give you the emotions

1348
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 5: of both sides and sometimes situations that were really hard

1349
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 5: where probably most people in that business would be just

1350
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 5: mailing it in or just super grumpy. And nobody wants

1351
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 5: to hear that, right know, they want to hear that

1352
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 5: energy and excitement because as fans, you think about the

1353
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 5: players on the field, what a blessed opportunity they have

1354
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 5: to go be able to play a kid's game for

1355
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 5: a king's ransom. And it's the same thing when you're

1356
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 5: in the booth. And so maybe just give us a

1357
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 5: little context about how you were able to do that

1358
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 5: and then how somebody like Jim could do it over

1359
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 5: and over again for a team that hadn't had the success,

1360
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 5: hadn't had the Super Bowls.

1361
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 11: Real quick, Chris, Le'll be just hop in here. Gibbe

1362
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 11: will know this.

1363
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 3: Jim did a very good job of when he was

1364
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 3: feeling down or wanted to voice a frustration that it

1365
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 3: during a commercial break, that part.

1366
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 8: Of it.

1367
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 3: Sometimes commercial break a little bit of yes, come on.

1368
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 15: They said, the secrets is keep the secrets secret. Come on,

1369
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 15: But it is important from this standpoint, and I think

1370
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 15: that you know, without having talked to Jim about this,

1371
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:29,919
Speaker 15: I am sure based on listening to his body of work,

1372
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 15: that he felt the same way that someone always cares. Okay,

1373
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 15: it doesn't matter if at the end of the season,

1374
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 15: your team heading into Week eighteen, somebody out there cares, right,

1375
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 15: And that's the thing is that you owe it when

1376
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 15: you're doing a broadcast, you owe it that it should

1377
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 15: be your super Bowl every week. I mean, just think

1378
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 15: about what it is we get to do. I don't

1379
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 15: know how good an athlete Jim was. I know how

1380
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 15: poor an athlete I was.

1381
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 8: So the only way.

1382
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 15: I could be involved in professional sports was to do this.

1383
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 15: And so it's why we all work as hard as

1384
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 15: we do. It's why we're passionate about what you know,

1385
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 15: what lies ahead. It's why when somebody says, oh, you

Speaker 15: got a crappy game, You've got the Jags and the Patriots,

Speaker 15: you're a local news or sports anchor. Every story has

1395
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 15: got to mean something to somebody, and if you're going

1396

Speaker 6: Calling the beer guy and calling heine kent heine kin o.

1503
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 16: You know, back in the days when I was trying

1504
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 16: to audition to become a Bianna choir boy, I could

1505
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 16: hit that note. But when she just hit that note,

1506
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 16: that was painful. I'll tell you what great job. Shotgun snap,

1507
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:51,719
Speaker 16: a calm back, hop in the pocket, comes.

1508
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 6: Over to the right. You gonna throw the ball into

1509
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 6: the Rams sideline incomplete.

1510
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 16: One of the Rams team doctors drops it at the

1511
01:14:57,840 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 16: twenty eight yard line out of house.

1512
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 5: Well, you got flush to his right side and there

1513
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 5: was only one receiver down the field on his right side,

1514
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:04,839
Speaker 5: and he was well covered.

1515
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 16: I hope that Doc is not a hand specialist, because

1516
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 16: he doesn't have any shotgun. Weeding back to pass, looking right,

1517
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 16: throws to the middle, it's picked off, and it's gonna

1518
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:14,719
Speaker 16: go for a touchdown.

1519
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 6: William Gaze got it.

1520
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 16: He jumped in front of Jordan Cameron and the Steelers

1521
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 16: are in again.

1522
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 5: Those are some of the chances you can take when

1523
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 5: you got a lead of seventeen points.

1524
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 6: Twenty six to three. You know, Doug, isn't it nice?

1525
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 6: Even in the pain of this loss.

1526
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 16: Today some of the fans as they leave just waved

Speaker 16: up and said, Jim, have a nice Thanksgiving.

1528
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:44,120

01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 16: Hutley's got it, back to pass, looks through that Davian

01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 6: Because that was bad.

1539
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:16,440
Speaker 12: That's beautiful.

1540
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 11: Oh that's good.

1541
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:18,440
Speaker 12: That's beautiful.

1542
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 11: I was what I was trying to say to you

1543
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 11: was in the preseason.

1544
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 3: Obviously, at times the preseason games can be difficult and

1545
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:28,639
Speaker 3: you have to really dabble into your bag of entertainment

1546
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 3: tricks to keep the masses entertained. But for the last

1547
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 3: couple of years, John Kelly was basically the star of

1548
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 3: the preseason. We could not find it him singing Kelly Kelly.

1549
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 11: He used to crack me up every single time where

1550
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 11: it goes.

1551
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 12: Kelly k E L L y yeah, k E double

1552
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:54,280
Speaker 12: l y k E double l y Yeah. You know

1553
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 12: what it's I think it's the same. I could be wrong,

1554
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 12: don't hold me to it. I think it's the same.

1555
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 12: In the the DiCaprio movie Catch Me if you can,

1556
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 12: when he goes to New Orleans and he's, you know,

1557
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 12: he's like trying to become he's a doctor and he's

1558
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:10,679
Speaker 12: been a lawyer and all that, and he's sitting down.

1559
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 12: I think that family is singing along to that. That's

1560
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 12: so I think I think I have that right. He

1561
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:20,680
Speaker 12: used to sing it for I would sing it for

1562
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 12: John Kelly. Yeah.

1563
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 11: John Kelly had his own song in the preseason.

1564
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 12: So there you go. That's beautiful if a car truckers

1565
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 12: Causu Adric called the one eight hundred alcohoil for a

1566
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 12: free case review. Elkan Elk is a proud partner of

1567
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 12: your Cleveland Browns. Yeah, that's that's it. It's it's been, uh,

1568
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:40,640
Speaker 12: it's been a heck of a celebration, and it's uh,

1569
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 12: it's I when we were talking about guys who those

1570
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 12: type of guys, I think of Marty Brenneman down in

1571
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:49,560
Speaker 12: Cincinnati and how he was at with the Reds for

1572
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 12: so long, and you almost become bigger than the operation.

1573
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 12: It's something that's at the Dodgers, those guys that do

1574
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 12: it for so long and you become's voice of it.

1575
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 12: How about my Friday and I, Buddy, did you see

1576
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 12: that mashup? I don't know if you did or not.

1577
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 12: I just was caided. Yeah I did it.

1578
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 3: They both happened at eight thirty seven Pacific time.

1579
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,800
Speaker 12: I've been out on baseball, but was off as a

1580
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 12: young man.

1581
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 3: Just give you a quick background. As young man, BO

1582
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,600
Speaker 3: was a Dodgers fan. I was an A's fan. We

1583
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 3: had season tickets and went all the time. And Kirk

1584
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,640
Speaker 3: Gibson hitting that home run off of Dennis Eckerslee and

1585
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 3: doing all this nonsense is one of probably top three

1586
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 3: least entire life moments. It's one of his favorites that

1587
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 3: he has no problem reminding me about it. And obviously

1588
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman's walk off grand slam to right field and

1589
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 3: then the call the guy they he said she's gone

1590
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 3: in a nod of which was incredible. Yes, get that's

1591
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 3: one of those things that you could go in aos

1592
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:44,439
Speaker 3: a broadcaster and think, Okay, I want to say that

1593
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 3: in this moment if it were to somehow happened that

1594
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 3: they're going to hit a walk off homer to right

1595
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 3: field off, you know, but then to actually do it

1596
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 3: is incredible.

1597
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 12: Crazy. Yeah, Joe did that a couple of years ago

1598
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 12: to an homage to his dad too, which was which

1599
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 12: was very cool.

1600
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:01,720
Speaker 18: Yeah, So let's take a quick break. The Parade of

1612
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: now live in Ohio on eight fifty ESPN Cleveland.

1613
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:39,640
Speaker 15: I grew up at a.

1614
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 17: Time where the NFL on NBC was a big part

1615
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 17: of my youth growing up and dreaming of being a sportscaster,

1616
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 17: and Jim was a part of that crew. So I

1617
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 17: knew Jim as one of the voices of the NFL

1618
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 17: on NBC. So when I met him, although now I'm

1619
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 17: in the business, no idea what you're walking into. You

1620
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 17: imagine what these broadcasters are like. If you don't know them,

1621
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:09,760
Speaker 17: you think you know them. And how fortunate was I

1622
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 17: to meet someone that I looked up to growing up

1623
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 17: and realize, oh, this is a great guy. This is

1624
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 17: just not someone that was doing play by play for

1625
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:23,799
Speaker 17: the NFL on NBC. This is a person with passion,

1626
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 17: and a person with empathy, and a person that wanted

1627
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 17: to know about you know, not just passing by.

1628
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 8: In the hallway with a head nod.

1629
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 17: So that leaves a real impression on you, all right.

1630
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 12: The words of the Great Eye Eagle on that, and

1631
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 12: we thank him for that. Here on Cleveland Brown's Daily,

1632
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 12: z is here, the Hoff is here, Bo here, and

1633
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 12: let me allow me to tell you about my friends

1634
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 12: at Jim Beam. What do sports and Jim Beam have

1635
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 12: in common? Both are better when enjoyed with others. So

1636
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 12: grab a bottle, gather your friends, enjoy the game. Because

1637
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 12: if Jim Beam becomes fans and you leave his family.

1641
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 12: I got to tell you the when you and Jim

1642
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 12: were honored earlier this season and everything that went around

1643
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 12: that was I can't even imagine what that meant to

1644
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:23,880
Speaker 12: Jim to his family. We thank you for your time today.

1645
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 12: What did you make of the game and everything that

1646
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:27,599
Speaker 12: happened down on the stadium.

1647
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 19: Well, it was you could fill Jim's presence. I mean,

1648
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 19: I wish you could have been there to call that one,

1649
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 19: because that was a good one. The Browns played like

1650
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:41,560
Speaker 19: the Browns we've been waiting for, and I know the

1651
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 19: city enjoyed it, and what.

1652
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:46,639
Speaker 12: A tribute it was. Phil.

1653
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 3: I was down there with you on the field on

1654
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 3: that legend's day, and it's it's kind of unfable to

1655
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 3: think of where we are now, given kind of the

1656
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 3: emotion and the support from the crowd that day, but

1657
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 3: as you kind of were able to soak in that

1658
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 3: and then take that carry it forward to just the

1659
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 3: emotion of this crowd for Jim and this win. You know,

1660
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 3: kind of what were you thinking in your mind, given

1661
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 3: that you were the one who got to call him

1662
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 3: and have that special moment, which I'm sure is something

1663
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 3: that you will cherish forever, to call him and let

1664
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 3: him know he'd be inducked in the Legens club. Kind

1665
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 3: of from there to what ended up unfolding yesterday.

1666
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, I think I said at the time,

1667
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 19: just when you think an honor can't get any better,

1668
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 19: you find out you're going to get to call Jim

1669
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 19: Donovan and tell him. He's going into the legends. I mean,

1670
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,879
Speaker 19: when you think about highlights of a career and special moments,

1671
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 19: I mean, that's got to be at the top. And

1672
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:36,960
Speaker 19: it's all because of the love I had for Jim

1673
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:43,719
Speaker 19: and Man. What an incredible human. And NFL life doesn't

1674
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:47,679
Speaker 19: often allow you time to build relationships and meaningful ones

1675
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:49,560
Speaker 19: at that. You know, so many people come and go,

1676
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 19: and most players are just trying to survive. And I

1677
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 19: was afforded the opportunity of be in Cleveland a long

1678
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 19: time and got to know Gym and man. Just the

1679
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,919
Speaker 19: impact he had not only on the city of Cleveland

1680
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 19: and Browns fans, but players in the locker room. I

1681
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 19: don't know how he pulled it off. Most places, when

1682
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 19: the media comes into the locker room, you know, players

1683
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 19: kind of get up tight and oh boy, here comes

1684
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:19,160
Speaker 19: to the media, that kind of thing. But when Jim

1685
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:21,720
Speaker 19: would come in there, there was a we love seeing him.

1686
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 19: I mean, we just we knew he had our bag,

1687
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 19: but we knew he'd keep it real and somehow he

1688
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 19: always knew how to find that balance. And to think

1689
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 19: of the countless Brown fans that was the only voice

1690
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 19: they knew, and the impact he had in that way.

1691
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 19: I mean, just a man full of integrity, professionalism, class.

1692
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 19: I mean, it's truly truly an honor just to have

1693
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,600
Speaker 19: known him. But then when you add on top of

1694
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 19: that the opportunity to go into the legends with him,

1695
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 19: I mean, I really don't have words.

1696
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 12: Phil. He supplied then for your greatest moments here, and

1697
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 12: there were a great many, and so then for you

1698
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 12: to pay it full circle to supply at News, I

1699
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 12: cannot imagine what that meant to you and certainly to him.

1700
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 12: And I know you two had a relationship even beyond

1701
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 12: that as well.

1702
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 19: And that's what makes Cleveland so special. I mean, any

1703
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:24,559
Speaker 19: any NFL town you get, you know, ring of honor

1704
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 19: or legends, whatever that organization calls it, it's incredible. But

1705
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 19: the relationships that you know, I had with people around

1706
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 19: the city and inside the organization and out, and you know,

1707
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 19: it just happens in Cleveland. I don't know who to

1708
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 19: give credit to on that. It really doesn't matter. It

1709
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 19: just happens. And I remember when I first got to

1710
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,600
Speaker 19: Cleveland talking to Doug Deacon and guys like that, and

1711
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 19: you know, they try to communicate to you what a

1712
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 19: special place it is. But you kind of got to

1713
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 19: live it for a little while and those fourteen years

1714
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 19: there and thinking about Jim a lot over the w

1715
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 19: we can just I can't believe, just kick her out

1716
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 19: of Texas, undrapped a kid who's just fighting and scratching

1717
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:08,680
Speaker 19: to make it. Got to get to know a guy

1718
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 19: like Jim Donovan and call him a friend, and you're

1719
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 19: right for it to all come full circle so many

1720
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 19: years his special moment as I've had in the Orange Helement, Phil, thank.

1721
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 12: You so much for hoping on with us and sharing

1722
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 12: your recollections and your thoughts, and it means so much

1723
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 12: to all of us and certainly the Donovan family as well.

1724
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:32,680
Speaker 12: Thanks buddy, Thank you. All right, that's philed awesome joining us.

1725
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:35,599
Speaker 12: A couple of notes on the football side of things,

1726
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 12: and obviously we've we've been talking about Jim and Sunday

1727
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 12: and all of those things. Coach Tafanski did have a

1728
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 12: press conference within the last hour and Jameis Winston going forward,

1729
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 12: Jameis Winston as your starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns,

1730
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:53,600
Speaker 12: so that not unexpected. Jamis played great, but that's the

1731
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 12: way that this operation will be this week and against

1732
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 12: the Chargers off Yeah, it's gotta be.

1733
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:02,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, no surprise there. I think the question moving forward

1734
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 5: the rest of the season is you know where does

1735
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,000
Speaker 5: DTR fit in? And I think a lot of those

1736
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 5: questions will be answered by how things go in the

1737
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 5: next few games, right, you know, can you put yourself

1738
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:14,719
Speaker 5: into a situation where you are still vying for something

1739
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 5: meaningful in the division or after the season, how's Jamis playing?

1740
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 5: You know, what are you looking for to learn about

1741
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 5: your team for next season? Obviously Jamis is not under

1742
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 5: contract next season, but at this point, he's given you

1743
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 5: the best chance to win. He's bringing excitement and energy

1744
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:33,600
Speaker 5: and unlocking the potential of those other guys on the

1745
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:36,720
Speaker 5: offense to really get a good look at what you have.

1746
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 5: If you're down the stretch, if you're trying to find out,

1747
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 5: hey about some of these young guys, if you're trying

1748
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 5: to figure out you know, who's going to be in

1749
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:44,559
Speaker 5: our plans moving forward?

1750
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 12: You know that you've got a guy quarterback who's going.

1751
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 5: To give him a chance to at least show who

1752
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 5: they can be for the Cleveland Browns.

1753
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:51,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, think that's spot on, And I think you know

1754
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 3: Jamis keeps winning, He's going to keep playing I think

1755
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 3: at some point, if losing starts, then you're going to

1756
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 3: want to try to get at least a multi week

1757
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 3: extended look a fair look at at DTR because he is,

1758
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 3: to your point, under contract with you, and he's the

1759
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:07,080
Speaker 3: you know, the one quarterback under contract for next year

1760
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 3: that will be available to you in the offseason and

1761
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:10,840
Speaker 3: even at the start of the next season.

1762
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 11: So yeah, I think that look keep playing like that.

1763
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:17,639
Speaker 11: Let's go, let's go, because it's.

1764
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 12: It's fun again. Brother, it's fun. It was fun.

1765
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 3: You're two and six, but you can you don't have

1766
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:26,280
Speaker 3: to lose again. There's something that says you have to

1767
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,760
Speaker 3: lose again. So go on a crazy run and see

1768
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 3: what happens, and then if you don't, then you'll address

1769
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:34,719
Speaker 3: that and fully put you know, right now you probably

1770
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 3: have a foot in both and maybe what happened beating

1771
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 3: the Ravens that maybe like slide a little bit of

1772
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 3: the weight on the side that's in twenty twenty four.

1773
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 3: But once you get to that point, you'll just jump

1774
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 3: two feet into twenty twenty five and go on and

1775
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:45,639
Speaker 3: hopefully we don't get to that point.

1776
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 12: Hopefully we just keep winning. It'd be great. Yeah, let's

1777
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 12: do that. Yeah, fig me up, Booch your game day

01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1831
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,200

1832
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,760
Speaker 3: are the best nachos he's ever had. Nacho by the way,

1833
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 3: it's just chips out of a bag and like some

1834
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:20,599
Speaker 3: gross like velveta melted volta, like nothing, the greatest. Well,

1835
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 3: I would love to hear him defend himself because I've

1836
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 3: never heard anybody argue, give okay nachos. They're either nachos

1837
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:28,640
Speaker 3: are they're not?

1838
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 11: Go ahead, very binary, excellent nachos in Washington?
