Once he gets warmed up, he's still as sharp as ever. I loved --
-- the reference to the fact that we know more about -- and do more for -- conditioning of players today than ever before, and yet we have more injuries than ever.
-- the raised eyebrows when none of the sportswriters seemed to pick up on his Paige/Azzi analogies to Mantle/Maris and especially Blanchard/Davis.
-- his reference to how every once in a while you get a performer (like Secretariat) that thrives on full workouts.
There is no greater student (and teacher) of the game. And that's why the most talented players all flock to him.
