80 or 86
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 at 9:12 pm ET

During our C block tonight at 6:30 you saw Felgy and me discuss the retirement of the numbers of Roger Clemens, Drew Bledsoe and Troy Brown. The topic was driven by the Red Sox retirement of Johnny Pesky’s number six.

Now, I am not supposed to tell you this but we taped this segment at 6:10p. The reason we did this was because of camera angles and set logistics. The commercials breaks were too short for our studio crew of…one to move the cameras, slide the cable and move the set.

So, we are chatting right along when Felger says, "How can you retire Troy Brown’s number 80 when it belonged to Stanely Morgan first?" Ahhh Felgy? Stanley Morgan was 86 and Irving Fryar was number 80. I corrected him and then asked our producer on the rise, Nate Long (drinking buddy of Kenny Chesney on the island of St. John) if we could re-tape. Nate yelled at me," No, don’t stop. You should have nailed Felger-he would have done it to you. I am just a bigger man I guess
