0:15.0 | Book of Mormon, Josh Gad, Frozen coming out November 22nd, Frozen 2. That's not the word of the day. It's off like Turn it off. |
0:24.0 | Like Mitch Trubisky, Sandy wants every TV turned off and Hallis Hall all around his ballpark and stadium. So all the negativity can go away. |
0:35.0 | Well, Mitch, what do you think happens when players go home or they turn on their cell phone or maybe their iPad or iPod or Google Chrome? |
0:42.0 | I think they get the negativity maybe from even their children. So I think just turning it off. That little special trick is not going to work. |
0:50.0 | Here's an idea. Be better. Don't be ranked 29th in offense. Just be a better team. |
0:57.0 | The word of the day today was off as you heard, but here's another word for everyone. It's called collusion. Yes, that is the word when you work in professional sports. |
1:09.0 | Specifically, Major League Baseball, you are taught that the word collusion, that's the third rail. You don't ever want to be involved in any activities that could be involved in the world. |
