• Any good broadcast, not just an Olympic broadcast, should have texture to it. It should have information, should have some history, should have something that's offbeat, quirky, humorous, and where called for it, should have journalism, and judiciously it should also have commentary. That's my ideal.

• Si Vin Scully relatando un partido es tan bueno en 2013 como lo era en 1963, así es como debe sonar un partido. Si Jack Buck estuviera por aquí hoy, no creo que nadie le pidiera que cambiara su estilo. Mi estilo siempre ha sido un poco una combinación de lo viejo y lo nuevo, aunque sólo sea porque mi marco de referencia, personalmente, era diferente al de Ernie Harwell o Jack Buck o Harry Caray. Yo era un tipo más joven. Al igual que el marco de referencia de Joe Buck es algo diferente al mío. Pero las tuercas y los pernos de cómo llamar a un juego de pelota bien, creo que siguen siendo los mismos.

• Our current gun culture simply ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy, and that more convenience-store confrontations over loud music coming from a car will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead... What I believe is, if he [Belcher] didn’t possess/own a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today... Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it.
