| 0:06.0 | Privacy. That's nothing personal word of the day for February 4, 2020. Privacy is exactly |
| 0:12.5 | what the writer who did not vote for Derek Jeter wanted with his Hall of Fame ballot. |
| 0:17.9 | As you recall, Derek Jeter made the Hall of Fame, except he was going to be unanimous |
| 0:21.6 | like his teammate, Mariana Rivera. And one guy or girl voted no. Didn't vote for him. |
| 0:29.6 | Didn't check his name in a box. Was it a hanging chad? Was it a mistakenly placed |
| 0:34.7 | ballot? Did he think he was signing Derek Jeter clicking his name and ended up clicking? |
| 0:40.2 | I don't know. JJ Puts his name. We'll never know because the baseball writers association |
| 0:45.3 | voted to make every ballot public. And the Hall of Fame said, no, we will not allow that. |

| 1:17.8 | to move in another direction. The nice way is I really am so sorry about this. Never apologize |
| 1:23.9 | when you're firing someone, but you could just say, hey, I'm really sorry, but you know, |
| 1:27.7 | we're just not performing the way I want us to perform. We're going to move on. I think |
| 1:32.3 | this was something a little more acute that would have caused the fire in Steve Mills today. |
| 1:37.0 | Even Jim Dolan, who as we know, has had a record as an owner that makes our ownership |
| 1:45.1 | group in Miami look much more successful than maybe it was on the field. We got a world |
| 1:50.4 | championship, at least. Steve Mills is the president of a team that has not been in the |
| 1:56.4 | final since 1999. This is the New York Knicks, arguably to me the most important franchise |
