Smith, Barney, LLC, member SIPIC. E-Trade is a business of Morgan Stanley. Welcome back to man coverage. I'm your host, Mike Payton.

Today we've got a very special guest, somebody that,

somebody that I've taken some cues from over the course of my writing career, somebody that's

I've got Pro Football Network's Mike Tenier. Mike, welcome on to the show. It's great to be honest. It's great to hear that I

inspired you. I feel old though. I hear these people, oh, I read you growing up or I read you in

college and it's like, I'm not that old. Well, you can see me. The listeners can't. My beard is getting

longer and more Gandalfe like. So I really am getting old. Well, I mean, you couldn't be more than 32, 33 years old, I'm sure.
