Here’s the transcript from show 68 of weekly Outside the Lines — Parental Guidance Suggested Announcer — July 15, 2001 Bob Ley, host — Anger and conflict, part of sports at the highest level, and at your neighborhood park where adults are supposed to set the tone.
Ley — On the long list of difficult things to achieve in sports, near the top is this- remaining objective or at least calm when your child is at the plate, or dribbling the ball or making the play.
They’ve got to learn that life isn’t fair, that there’s a hard edge, you’ve got to go out there and win; and they need to be encouraged to do their best at all, and that some of these education programs kind of round off the rough edges of sports.

 Sports Commentary
Ley himself is American, but he's obviously very proud of the fact that he knows the words British people use when they talk about soccer.
He's got a generous, self-effacing style that makes the game seem as simple as it is. To hear Ley chuffing and huffing as he builds up enough speed to get his explanation of the offside trap off the ground is to understand the difference between him and Malin.
Listen for the unappetizing mixture of honey and cheese that Ley employs when he says, "Venturini's got three mates in the box" and try to keep your dinner down as you lunge for the remote.

I mean, I drank probably as much as maybe some of these guys smoked grass, and most of it was because number one, to get my mind around the arm pain that I went through for most of my career.

Walsh's method was to "hire good talent, treat the first segment of the show like the front page of the paper," hire a battery of reporter types for more emphasis on reporting and storytelling, make highlights more creative and emphasize journalism.
Yet there can be no denying the ESPN tsunami has been a rising tide that, if not floating all boats, has certainly put the wind in the sails of many sports, especially on the college level.
