I respect your opinion and I'm very pumped about the start of Derby Season.

One thing I'm sure we can all agree upon is the call was SUPERB!

Here's a very VERY SCARY thought.

You and I were VERY close to being co-workers and dare I say colleagues!

After Tom left I applied for the NYRA announcers job.

I was sure I had it. At least it certainly seemed that way after excellent conversations with both Dan Silver and Marty Panza.

I "think" not positive, I was their guy.

Then I didn't get it.

I was told by a reliable source that Chris Kay had never heard of me. It was not long after Larry had done the Housewife's call and he wanted a bigger name. He got the gig. Heard that Bobby Flay had something to do with the decision as well.

But that's racetrack rumor so who knows for sure?

The part about Martin and Dan isn't rumor.

Imagine how great it would have been to work together? The #1 handicapping opinion in the country and you there to keep me sharp.

That would have been a blast.

Best part is I'm sure that we'd have become fast friends and all this vitriol would never have happened.

You'd have found out that everything JP told you about me was nonsense. You would have been able to draw your own conclusions about whether I was a good guy or not.

Who knows maybe someday?

We did start out strongly. I'll always remember how classy and gracious you were when I asked you to help me with a harness racing shift I had to do on TVG.

Where did it all go wrong?

Wow

Right down to some delusion of me being helpful to him about something related to harness racing. That's 100% made up.

It's pretty sad that he just can't stop. Nobody cares.

You don't remember when I called you?

I introduced myself and told you that I was doing a shift that night on TVG.

I asked if you knew anything about harness racing or somebody that did.

I had to cover the Meadowlands or Yonkers can't remember which.

You said you knew a little and sent me several cliff notes about the races that were on during my shift. They were extremely helpful.

I thanked you by name on the air more than a couple of times and again the following morning when I had an early shift.

If you truly can't remember that. It's kinda scary.

If you're lying about remembering, it's par for the course.

IT HAPPENED.

I have a buddy who has an archive for EVERY second that TVG has been on the air.

I'm going to figure out when exactly that happened.

Get the tape and post it right here on DT!

I bet no one thought they'd watch a guy throw his career away on the board today but here we are.

Vic, step away from the computer. For your sake. Save whatever shred of dignity you have left. It's not too late.

I believe you.

Little known fact, he used to send me his greyhound racing cliff notes years ago.

We cleaned up!

I think it all happened when I was helping Santa make his naughty or nice list.

Why would you deny doing something really nice and classy for a fellow race tracker?

I remember thinking what a cool thing that was.

[blackthroatedwind]

Not that you deserve it, but I will be nice....it never happened. I guessed maybe you unintentionally confused talking to Anthony Stabile about harness racing, as we work together and, unlike me, he knows a ton about harness, but I asked him, and he said it wasn't him either, but guessed maybe it was his Dad, as apparently you have confused the two of them in the past.

Here's hoping I don't regret trying to be nice.

Talk about rapture.

I can see that DA-NOBODY is posting at a frenetic pace.

But I have ZERO idea what he's saying.

Man does that feel nice.

For others who have been verbally abused for years I highly recommend blocking and ignoring.

About to take my Monday afternoon nap.

Got a feeling I'm to have some very sweet dreams.

Literally smiling as I'm writing this.

Trust me, no one is smiling more than I am today.

Watching you self destruct has been my greatest contribution to the board. I should step away at this point. I'll never do anything better than what I've done in this thread.

*takes bow*

I laughed out loud. Hopefully there are more Stern fans here who get that
