Seth, my guy, it is absolutely awesome to see you and always spend some time with you.
Listen, without giving it up completely, can you give us an idea, for those who have not yet bought the book, what is this book about?
And, you know, so it's kind of a greatest hits, which is kind of a mind warp of a thing to put together.
I'm sure in your own way, you've kind of been through it where first you have to think about, do I have any greatest hits? And then maybe once you have some stories that you think kind of hold up better than others, you try to put something together.
And I'm trying to give people a glimpse of my best work, but also tell a bigger story about sports over the 25 years that I've covered it and try to get to the essentials of some of the... you know, the biggest names in sports that I've written about.
All right, so it's a great book, and I'm going to follow you on what you just said in terms of greatest hits because it's really interesting because normally you're somebody, and I'll get to this in a minute, you look forward, you're thinking about the next thing.
At the end of it, you know, he says, I'll be on that hill with everything I've got.
