| 0:00.0 | So if I asked you the most successful New York years, I'm going to give you 1969, |
| 0:10.1 | 1986, 1994. Is that fair to say that those are the most successful? Yes, yes, because you |
| 0:16.3 | had multiple championships and multiple sports. |
| 0:21.3 | Okay. |
| 0:21.9 | So out of those three, you now... |
| 0:23.8 | For me, it would be 94. |
| 0:26.1 | But also 86 was great, too. |
| 0:28.3 | I mean, I have to say, I was playing in the NFL at the time, and, you know, |
| 0:31.6 | Phil had that great Super Bowl, and, you know, you had the wide right thing. |
| 0:36.4 | And, I mean, so that was the wide right. Well, that was 1990. That was 1990. That was 90 was the Broncos. 90 was the bills. Right. So, yeah, that's right. So it was Phil's game.

| 1:41.3 | That was just, I mean, being that age and going through what I was |
