| 0:00.0 | I was reminded of something. We were all reminded of something. |
| 0:02.6 | Anytime politicians or lawyers or attorneys are discussing something related to sports, |
| 0:12.4 | they got their puns ready. |
| 0:13.9 | Like, it's almost as if they write it on a wall. |
| 0:16.6 | And as soon as there's some kind of sports scandal they're going to be involved in, |
| 0:19.7 | oh my God, we got to whip out the puns. |
| 0:22.1 | I'll never forget when Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa and all those guys are in the halls of United States Congress. Oh, my God.
