| 0:00.0 | All right, three o'clock, beautiful Friday afternoon. I want to turn our attention to the Tigers. Now, wait a minute. |
| 0:07.0 | Before you reach for that button on your steering wheel, hear me out. Nothing sad, nothing negative. I want to explain something and then |
| 0:18.0 | I'm going to offer what we are calling the pathway to positivity. Now this is simple. If they win tonight I already |
| 0:26.7 | know what's going to happen. You're going to have a pre-canned column in one of |
