| 0:00.0 | A guy whose opinion, I've been wanting to hear since the big news broke up. |
| 0:04.3 | Mr. Mike Gorman, good morning, sir. Good morning, guys. That's one of the highlights of my radio career we just said. Sorry, you didn't win. I thought it was great. And have you informed Tommy that, unfortunately, have you broke the bad news to him, that he did not win 9-8-8-9-8-9-8-9. He's away. I think he's up there fishing with salmon with scowl. |
| 0:22.2 | Yeah, that was a fantastic exchange. news to him that he did not win 9-8-minute. He's away. I think he's up there fishing with salmon with scowl. |
| 0:22.2 | Yeah, that was a fantastic exchange. All right. So, Mike, what's your opinion of all this? |
| 0:28.6 | I mean, this is, we, I said a second ago, just stepping back from all of it and thinking about how |
| 0:34.0 | crazy everything has become in the past two months, and who would have ever |

| 0:59.7 | If he didn't, he would trade them and get guys who would be. |

| 1:05.3 | I hate to see Jay Crow to go. |
| 1:07.2 | I think his kids can be a nice player in time, although Franfichella, who's a good friend of mine, |
| 1:12.6 | who knows European players very well, has this great line where he says he's a year away from being a year away. |
| 1:18.4 | So we'll see whether or not that holds out to be the truth with him. |
| 1:21.7 | And the draft pick, of course, you know, can turn into a very good player. |
| 1:24.7 | But one of the things that always impressed me the most about this Celtic management |
