It's Friday. I just played Bach the six minutes. That is why I'm taking time off to attend tonight's festivities. What happens in six minutes. This athlete that is a part of the same breed that I represent as I sit here by a lonely butt on this couch watching that I'm married. of the same human species can raise up 70,000 people cheering at the top of their lungs. Yeah, I'll take time off to watch this.

It's why we're fans. It's why to watch the best in us be better than we can ever imagine. That's what sports is. When the movies capture them, and I think the attempt is for the movies to capture them, that there are those moments, iconic moments. I mean, we build heroes. I mean, Kelly Leak is an iconic character.

I mean, he's 12 years old. But he's iconic. Betty the Jet. He's iconic. He's iconic. Buttermaker. We all know a Buttermaker. We all know Coach Butterbaker.

We all know Walter Mathau. We know somebody who was just quite frankly. You know, he's just trying to make it work. He's trying to make it work. We need the Walter Stratton stories. We need the Brian Piccolo story. We need the Brian Piccolo story. Because Piccolo was exceptional.

and the people you have to break through to get what's coming to you or what you think is due. the champ. It told, I mean, John Voight's story in that, and again, Ricky Schroeder could have, he may have

got a nomination mainly from the power of the final line. Shout out to Fay Dunaway. Faye Dunaway, who played the X, Y, and the mother. But that's what sports movies are for. It captures the stuff that in sports,

just why we love sports. Because it really is. It's the greatest moment. It leads, it always led me back to the thing that opened the wide world of sports. And every Saturday and Sunday, we would hear Jim McKay's voice. And they would show highlights. Pele was one of them. John Claude Keylee, the skier. And it would say, we show up here.

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. And the fact that we're promised neither is why we want. That's why we do the sports thing. That's why we do it. It's a full Friday. Adam Kerker up next, Bock of the Blackshirt. And then we'll take you down to the Nebraska Husker, Russelloff, courtesy Mark Manning and the game.
