I'm asking something of you. I don't come to the table proud of what I'm asking. I don't come to the table with any level of arrogance about it.

I am going to ask you for permission, okay? And you guys can determine it. But what I'm asking for is this. Can I opt out? Can I just hit the portal as it relates to the Detroit Tigers?

No, I don't care who does and does not watch at this station. I have faithfully continued to try to do my job.

And I will tell you there's nothing right now that I hate more in my life

than watching the Detroit Tigers and I don't want to do it anymore.

Now that's inconvenient for what we do but here's the thing.

The team's ten games out of first.

They are no fun to watch. I can't just keep beating a dead horse because I don't even

know if the horse cared about living, aka Scott Harris, Chris Illich, and whatever

they're attempting to do with this team.

And a vast majority of my audience locally here in Detroit can't even watch the team.

So I know what?

And added to that? Yes. I think it's gotten to the point not only can they not watch the team. I don't think that they really care to try to watch. Which is why I'm asking for Grace. I am asking the people, am I allowed to

opt out? Will you still respect me in the morning? Can I just be done? Because watching this team makes me angry at everything.

I hate them.

I can't take anymore.

They're atrocious.

And honestly, if management seemingly feels like

sort of like isn't trying to accomplish anything right now and you're ten games

out before the ribs hit the

the smoker on Memorial Day can I just not do this anymore and if and when they

get within four games of first I'll rejoin the party or does is that wholly unacceptable now
