Yesterday, Peter Gammons was interviewed on Boston's Sports Station WEEI-AM. Gammons was talking baseball and promoting his new CD.

He told a story about how he ran into Eddie at Fenway Park before the recent Boston shows. They were talking about the differences of playing live vs. recording in a studio. Both agreed recording in the studio was harder.

So Peter asks Eddie, How do you do it: When you are all alone in front of that mic. And Eddie goes, "I just pretend I'm Michael Jordan at the free throw line."

Because I'm a Boston fan, I typically think about what Tom Brady would do in a difficult, stressful situation.

He should pretend he's JJ Redick -- much better freethrow shooter.
