Welcome to Extra Points.

Now here's your host, Cousin Sal, and his pal, Dave Damasek.

All right, welcome to the Extra Points podcast.

Cousin Sal coming to you with his dear, dear pal, Dave Damashik,

what's happening, check. Action-packed weekend, right? It really was personally and I guess

professionally, if this is what our profession is, is watching other people do stuff. It was,

it was really loaded with the, I know you participated family style in some sports stuff. You blended your

personal and professional lives. Yeah, I said it was action packed. I'm like, let me get a piece

of the action. It was Saturday morning and I'm like, ah, Mets Padres. That's a two hour,
