Resurrecting The Champ Page #2
Look. Don't get like a chick on me,
all right? Be a man.
Recognize your weaknesses and fix 'em.
Slow down a bit, you know?
Think quality.
I got it. Got an appointment.
We write it like this.
What the lawsuit is calling for
is an order to force the E.P. A...
to reassign its approval
over the water standards...
for the rivers
affected by the development.
Mm-hmm. Wyoming and Montana
are going to join as interveners.
Okay.
- Hey, was that you calling last night?
- Yeah, yeah, it was.
Sorry about that.
Hey, did you read the article-
Jermaine fight?
Yeah. It was good.
- It was, wasn't it?
- Very solid.
Yeah, solid. Exactly.
Metz hated it. Of course.
What didn't he like?
What does Metz-
What does Metz ever like?
I don't know. He wasn't specific.
You know,
he's never going to let me write...
on the Broncos or the Nuggets.
Well, maybe Metz will come around.
It doesn't really matter because,
um, I'm having lunch with Whitley.
Today.
I might have a shot at the magazine.
- That's great.
- Yeah, it is.
- That is great.
- Nothing certain yet, but it seems pretty positive.
- That's fantastic.
- Yep.
Does Metz know?
Are you serious?
What are you on?
No, Metz doesn't know.
Hey, I was wondering if I could shoot
some hoops with Teddy this afternoon.
You know,
Teddy's only gonna get used to this...
if we stick on the schedule
that we agreed on.
We're separated, okay?
It's easy for you to say. You haven't
had your son cleaved from you.
All right, all right.
A little overdramatic. Sorry.
Sorry, I'm just-
Ball's in the play box in the garage.
Thank you. Thank you.
- Talk to Metz.
- Sure.
So, um, listen, I was, uh- I was sorry
to hear about your old man.
Mmm. Thank you.
It was cancer, right?
Yeah. Uh, here.
Hmm. Of all places.
- Ironic, right?
- Yeah. We got the iced teas coming?
- Mm-hmm, sure.
- Thank you.
Look, we've read your stuff,
Fred Roselle and I.
And I'm sorry to say,
it's just not there.
Not yet anyway.
The consensus
was that it lacked personality.
Exactly.
I mean, Bing, last year, under Kirby,
I had 192 bylines.
That's the most of any reporter
in the history of the newspaper.
You say my stuff is thin?
Of course it is.
A lot of typing, no writing.
I don't have time.
And this year, I have a new editor.
So I keep an open mind.
And guess what? He's working me
I mean, he thinks I'm a machine.
Anytime I bring in a story with just
an ounce of heart, Metz spikes it.
I mean, this is stuff that I think that the magazine should have
- magazine deserves.
- Okay, give me an example.
- Well-
- Is that the mango?
- Yeah.
- It's not the peach?
