Evident Tiki on the fan.

Got a lot to get to. The Yankees now stink.

The Mets have been stinking for a while.

We'll get to the football.

Obviously, today is 9-11, very somber day.

You know, I think every year we all remember where we were personally.

We think of the heroes.

We think of the victims of the horrible attack that we all suffered 24 years ago.

But I'll tell you, every year that goes by, I tell you another group of people we need to think

about, the 10,000 first responders who were heroes that day, and they're still being affected

to this moment because of the health issues that they suffered from going down to ground zero

in the hours after the attack, in the days after the attack. And who could have thought that at the time, right? No one was thinking that. No. But there are thousands of people, some listening to us right now, who are heroes that day. They're alive, but they're suffering from some of the ill effects of that day. So there's a lot of people to remember on a somber day like September 11th. Obviously the thousands of lies that were lost, but you're right about the first responders. And I don't forget wearing the hats, NYPD, FD, FD, and Y hats on the sidelines. Jim Fossil had all them made with Giants logos on them. We went down to ground zero and saw all those workers tirelessly

never leaving. They were constantly in pursuit of finding life and survivors and it was a

surreal experience to have stuck in my memory unfortunately. But thoughts and prayers to everyone

out there who is never forgetting, hopefully. You know what you guys did so well for us as an active athlete after 9-11 so in the week and a half that followed where there was no sports and no one cared about sports we were just looking for it as a distraction i did wonder and i was living in dc at the time i was 17 years old but man or 18 years old i still cared deeply about the mats i still care deeply about the jets and I was living in D.C. at the time, I was 17 years old, or 18 years old, I still care deeply about the Mets. I still care deeply about the Jets. And I was wondering, like, am I going to care this season? Or am I going to realize like none of this stuff matters? And there was actually a sense of joy that I had when I was pissed off at Armando Benitez for blowing a game against the Braves because I said, oh, wow, I can be angry again, but I also realize that it doesn't mean anything.

Right.

Like I was angry, but it was like, all right, there's good perspective now because it really doesn't mean a damn thing.

And sports, I thought, did a really good job of healing us, distracting us, but also reminding us, as seriously as we take it, even to this day,

because we'll complain about the Mets and Yankees today, it was a reminder that it just doesn't

mean anything. So thank you for that.

No, you're very welcome.

That was the first time the game afterwards, back in the days when, you know, we could
