"Where is it written in the Constitution that because a guy played football, he has the automatic right to sit in that booth? How hard is football? If I've spent thirty-five years as a sportswriter, you think I don't know you get six for a touchdown? You think I don't know that? You think I don't know you get three for a field goal? C'mon, c'mon. And I can actually speak English okay, so that would be a difference between me and a guy who spent his whole life playing football. Now, not all of them are like that, but it's that thinking that says, "We have divine right of booth." No, you don't. No you don't."

"أين كُتب في الدستور أن مجرد لعب أحدهم كرة القدم يمنحه الحق التلقائي في الجلوس في ذلك الكشك؟ ما مدى صعوبة كرة القدم؟ إذا قضيتُ خمسة وثلاثين عامًا ككاتب رياضي، هل تظن أنني لا أعرف أنكم تحصلون على ست نقاط للهبوط؟ هل تظن أنني لا أعرف ذلك؟ هل تظن أنني لا أعرف أنكم تحصلون على ثلاث نقاط للهدف الميداني؟ هيا، هيا. وأنا في الواقع أستطيع التحدث بالإنجليزية بشكل جيد، وهذا سيكون فرقًا بيني وبين رجل قضى حياته كلها يلعب كرة القدم. الآن، ليسوا جميعًا كذلك، لكن هذا هو التفكير الذي يقول: "لدينا حق إلهي في الكشك." لا، ليس لديكم. لا، ليس لديكم."
