00:07:02 The Indian gaming laws
00:07:05 And while we're on the subject, Ralph,
00:07:08 I was thinking that maybe we could,
00:07:11 to do something about the NFL draft,

00:08:00 - Why?
00:08:03 Well, that's what high school wrestling

00:08:25 And I don't want you to stop.
00:08:27 Hey, Ralph? Sorry for interrupting.
00:08:30 Yeah, yeah, right.
00:08:35 A lot of typing, not much writing.
00:08:37 - Well, Sam Kirby liked-
00:08:43 The truth is... I forget your pieces
00:08:49 Now, if this is the best you can do,
00:08:52 But I know you can do a lot better.
00:08:56 - Why is that, Ralph?
00:08:59 - Thanks for the talk.
00:09:01 Look. Don't get like a chick on me,
00:09:06 Recognize your weaknesses and fix 'em.
00:09:09 Slow down a bit, you know?
00:09:14 I got it. Got an appointment.
00:09:18 We write it like this.
00:09:20 What the lawsuit is calling for
00:09:22 to reassign its approval
00:09:24 for the rivers
00:09:27 Mm-hmm. Wyoming and Montana
00:09:31 Okay.

00:09:36 Sorry about that.
00:09:38 Hey, did you read the article-
00:09:41 Yeah. It was good.
00:09:43 - It was, wasn't it?
00:09:45 Yeah, solid. Exactly.
00:09:48 What didn't he like?
00:09:51 What does Metz-
00:09:53 [Quieter] What does Metz ever like?
00:09:57 [Sighs] You know,
00:10:00 on the Broncos or the Nuggets.
00:10:02 Well, maybe Metz will come around.
00:10:04 It doesn't really matter because,
00:10:10 Today.
00:10:12 I might have a shot at the magazine.
00:10:14 - [Chuckles] That's great.
00:10:16 - That is great.
00:10:19 - That's fantastic.
00:10:21 Does Metz know?
00:10:23 Are you serious?
00:10:26 No, Metz doesn't know.
00:10:32 Hey, I was wondering if I could shoot
00:10:36 You know,
00:10:38 if we stick on the schedule
00:10:40 We're separated, okay?
00:10:42 It's easy for you to say. You haven't
00:10:48 All right, all right.
00:10:51 [Clears Throat]
00:10:53 Ball's in the play box in the garage.
00:10:56 Thank you. Thank you.
00:10:59 - Talk to Metz.
00:11:03 So, um, listen, I was, uh- I was sorry
00:11:07 Mmm. Thank you.
00:11:09 It was cancer, right?
00:11:12 Yeah. Uh, here.
00:11:15 Hmm. Of all places.
00:11:17 - Ironic, right?
00:11:21 - Mm-hmm, sure.
00:11:23 Look, we've read your stuff,
00:11:26 And I'm sorry to say,
00:11:28 Not yet anyway.
00:11:30 The consensus
00:11:34 [Sighs]
00:11:36 I mean, Bing, last year, under Kirby,
00:11:42 That's the most of any reporter
00:11:45 You say my stuff is thin?
00:11:47 A lot of typing, no writing.
00:11:50 And this year, I have a new editor.
00:11:54 And guess what? He's working me
00:11:57 - I mean, he thinks I'm a machine.
00:12:01 Anytime I bring in a story with just
00:12:06 I mean, this is stuff that I think that
00:12:11 - Okay, give me an example.
00:12:13 - Is that the mango?
00:12:16 - It's not the peach?
00:12:18 Sorry. I'm sorry.
00:12:21 I mean, there's- I have so many.
00:12:23 - I'm not very good at this.
00:12:27 Um, crossroads. Uh, Elway.
00:12:31 You know, what does he do now
00:12:34 - Maybe he runs for governor.
00:12:37 People don't want to hear
00:12:39 Okay, okay.
00:12:41 - The worst place to pitch-
00:12:44 [Chuckles]
00:12:48 Um-
00:12:51 Well, there's this boxer.
00:12:56 He's, uh, living on the streets of Denver.
00:12:59 - He's living in the trash.
00:13:02 Yeah. And, you know, he kind of patrols
00:13:05 He's a- He's a lovely guy.
00:13:08 And the story, it's beautiful.
00:13:14 But I tell Metz about it,
00:13:16 It's a dry hole.
00:13:18 What's his name, the, uh- the boxer?
00:13:21 Satterfield.
00:13:26 Bob Satterfield?
00:13:28 - Yeah. Bob.
00:13:31 Are you sure? My dad used to idolize that guy.
00:13:35 - He- No, he's dead.
00:13:38 And that's why I think that this story
00:13:42 I want to call it
00:13:45 - And he's here in Denver?
00:13:48 - Bob Satterfield?
00:13:52 What are your plans for this?
00:13:54 Well, I thought maybe
00:13:57 You know, really work well on it,
00:14:01 And see if I can get Metz
00:14:03 Well, if, uh-
00:14:08 If you can't bring him around,
00:14:11 Well, that'd be great.
00:14:16 [Woman] When he won in California,
00:14:18 Mondale had already
00:14:20 Um, no, I think so.
00:14:22 Uh, November 30-
00:14:25 - Hey.
00:14:27 No, I'll get it for you and I'll-
00:14:30 - Hey.
00:14:32 - Great.
00:14:35 - Can you?
00:14:36 - Can you?
00:14:38 My name's not Molly.
00:14:42 Yes, that's true.
00:14:44 - Polly.
00:14:46 Close. Yeah.
00:14:49 [Chuckles] Uh, well, I'm doing
00:14:54 from the 1950s named Bob Satterfield.
00:14:56 But, um, nobody can know about it.
00:14:59 You're moonlighting.
00:15:01 - You got it.
00:15:04 What do you need?
00:15:07 Well, um, there wasn't much on him
00:15:10 So I guess you're gonna have to
00:15:14 I kind of need everything
00:15:17 From our library, New York Times,
00:15:21 If you can find out if there's
00:15:24 Anybody he may have fought.
00:15:29 Shouldn't you write this down
00:15:31 - Plausible deniability.
00:15:33 I've got to take that.
00:15:35 - I will get the information
00:15:38 Let's go. Drive it in.
00:15:40 I'm a big ol' slow guy. You can't take it
00:15:44 - Foul!
00:15:46 Okay. Take some free throws then.
00:15:48 Aim for my hand, all right?
00:15:52 - Get it up there.
00:15:54 You gotta roll it off
00:15:57 - I suck.
00:16:00 You think Shaq was hittin' baskets
00:16:02 - Yeah.
00:16:04 He told me so himself.
00:16:07 He said that he was a big ol' spaz
00:16:10 - Really?
00:16:13 But he told me that in confidence, buddy.
00:16:16 - Dad?
00:16:18 Have you called up John Elway yet
00:16:23 You know, we keep missing
00:16:25 I hope he comes back.
00:16:28 You know, I told him that you said that.
00:16:33 - Really?
00:16:35 So if he comes back,
00:16:38 Are you gonna stay for dinner tonight?
00:16:42 - [Car Door Closes]
00:16:45 Hi, sweetie. Hey, Erik.
00:16:48 So, Teddy was just inviting me to stay
00:16:52 What do you think?
00:16:54 - How'd it go with Whitley today?
00:16:56 Are you gonna make more money
00:16:59 Mmm, no. But that's not
00:17:03 It's about the prestige.
00:17:05 And I'd probably have to write
00:17:10 - That's a lot of stories.
00:17:13 It's only about one
00:17:15 That means I can really concentrate on them,
00:17:18 Then maybe I can become
00:17:21 It could be like a ticket
00:17:25 Los Angeles Times, New York Times.
00:17:27 Like the story on the boxer
00:17:30 Exactly.
00:17:32 In fact, I better get back to the alley,
00:17:36 There's a man sleeping in the alley?
00:17:39 Yeah, buddy. Some people do that.
00:17:42 Or friends or family.
00:17:47 This sounds like
00:17:50 No, buddy. It's gonna be a hopeful story.
00:17:55 Who's coming to Career Day, you or Mom?

00:25:05 he cocked his head to the left
00:25:08 He had that figured-out look
00:25:10 - You saw that?
00:25:12 I done seen it in my opponents' eyes
00:25:14 [Both Chuckle]
00:25:16 Ah, don't nobody want to read
00:25:21 Sure, they do. Most fight fans
00:25:25 I mean, wait till they hear
00:25:27 And that you're still around to tell about it?
00:25:31 You'll be a celebrity again.
00:25:46 [Sighs]
00:25:51 I'm in real trouble where I work.
00:25:55 I'm just about down and out myself.
00:25:59 [Sighs]
00:26:03 They're talkin' about firin' me.
00:26:08 Newspapers are being forced to cut bulk
00:26:17 Champ...
00:26:20 this article is my title shot.
00:26:34 All right, son. All right.
00:26:39 You ask the questions. I answer.
00:26:43 [Sighs]
00:26:48 [Champ On Tape]
00:26:51 he's gettin'ready
00:26:54 And Rocky, well, he hired
00:26:58 And they paid us at that time,
00:27:01 Oh, yeah, $50 apiece, I think.
00:27:02 - [Man] Come on, Rock!
00:27:06 We put on an exhibition
00:27:08 [Man]
00:27:10 You're gonna take Jersey Joe down
00:27:12 Oh, he was strong,
00:27:16 Hit me on the glove,
00:27:18 But not out. See? I got up.
00:27:23 And I kept hittin'him on the nose
00:27:26 till his nose started bleeding.
00:27:28 [Crowd Groaning]
00:27:30 And every time he come to hit
00:27:33 I'd get back
00:27:36 - And-And then his nose wouldn't stop.
00:27:39 Everybody was all concerned and stuff,
00:27:43 He came back.!
00:27:45 [Man]
00:27:47 Whoo!
00:27:50 That's just the way it happened too.
00:27:53 Now, now, I broke not the big bone in his nose,
00:27:57 Now, I-I-I'm not one
00:28:01 But every time Rocky fought after that,
00:28:05 Defended the title six times,
00:28:10 I'm thinkin' that's why he quit.
00:28:14 [Laughs, Sighs]
00:28:19 [Erik On Tape] What about your father?
00:28:22 [Champ On Tape]
00:28:25 - Seriously?
00:28:27 Look-Look here, see?
00:28:32 - When did he do that?
00:28:41 What? Your daddy never whoop you?
00:28:44 - No.
00:29:20 [Kernan On Tape] Merry Christmas
00:29:24 This is Erik "The Wow Man"Kernan
00:29:28 where tonight, wow...
00:29:31 the art of the sport was reduced
00:29:34 when one Thomas Kincaid entered the ring
00:29:38 As I sat watching the battle from my humble perch
00:29:43 Mr. Kincaid is no longer worthy
00:29:47 in a world once inhabited
00:29:50 by the Dempseys,
00:29:54 This is Erik "The Wow Man"Kernan.
00:29:57 And we'll be right back
00:30:04 [Chattering]
00:30:07 Nice article.
00:30:09 - Yep. Thanks.
00:30:14 [Phone Rings]
00:30:16 Erik Kernan, Denver Times.
00:30:19 Hey, Ken, what's up?
00:30:22 Uh, I gotta call you back, all right?
00:30:26 - Hey, Ralph.
00:30:31 Yeah? Thanks.
00:30:33 Normally, I'd cut the whole
00:30:35 But I don't know.
00:30:37 I'm glad you liked it.
00:30:39 - Aren't you glad you didn't go
00:30:44 ¢Ü¢Ü[Rock]
00:30:46 [Bottles Clinking]
00:31:03 - Champ.
00:31:06 - Weren't we supposed to meet?
00:31:09 Last night. We said we were gonna meet
00:31:15 W-Well, here we are.
00:31:21 That's our piece. Page one.
00:31:23 How about that?
00:31:26 How 'bout that?
00:31:28 Hey, uh-uh-uh-
00:31:33 Yeah.
00:31:37 - Always this many people here, Champ?
00:31:39 - Food always this good?
00:31:42 They do make a fish soup some days,
00:31:46 Aren't you afraid someone's
00:31:49 No. We got this kind of homeless
00:31:54 It's all right.
00:31:56 You know what would be good
00:31:58 If I could look at some of the stuff in your cart,
00:32:02 I think it'd be really interesting
00:32:05 All right, we can do that...
00:32:07 as soon as you take me to your house
00:32:14 Oh, you know, I listened to my father's tape.
00:32:17 - Mmm.
00:32:19 He didn't talk about you
00:32:22 Well, maybe I got Christmas
00:32:26 Is your daddy still alive?
00:32:28 No, he-Throat cancer.
00:32:31 Throat cancer.
00:32:35 Ironic.
00:32:37 Irony is when something seems like
00:32:43 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know-
00:32:45 You know, I-I've had a lot
00:32:49 Sorry.
00:32:53 So, you have much formal education?
00:32:55 No, no. Didn't have much schooling.
00:33:01 I never dreamed, though,
00:33:03 But I always thought that if I got that shot,
00:33:07 that if I got that shot,
00:33:10 Get that respect.
00:33:14 But you didn't get the chance.
00:33:17 No. No, no. Never did.
00:33:21 I had this fight with Ezzard Charles.
00:33:24 If-If I beat him, then I could go
00:33:29 Then I could get that title.
00:33:33 [Cheering]
00:33:36 But he caught me and somehow
00:33:41 Out cold.
00:33:43 That was a- How you say?
00:33:47 That was a big humiliation for me.
00:33:51 I had a couple more fights after that.
00:33:54 Wasn't no need in me carryin' on.
00:33:57 I moved to Sioux City, see?
00:34:02 [Erik]
00:34:04 [Champ]
00:34:07 I worked in the horse stables, uh-
00:34:09 One of the owners, he-he-he found out
00:34:13 I told you before.
00:34:16 You can't fight his fight!
00:34:19 [Champ] He boxed me in the West
00:34:22 where nobody knew nothin'
00:34:24 Wasn't no real competition.
00:34:26 These were, how you say,
00:34:29 But, hell, I could be a winner.
00:34:31 [Bell Rings]
00:34:33 [Crowd Cheering]
00:34:46 [Grunting]
00:34:50 [Champ] So, I fought and fought.
00:35:03 Knocked all of'em out.
00:35:08 [Bell Rings]
00:35:10 And in this corner,
00:35:15 from Chicago, Illinois,
00:35:21 [Champ]
00:35:24 Boxed-Boxed too much.
00:35:26 One day I was just plain exhausted
00:35:30 [Bell Rings]
00:35:33 [Grunts]
00:35:36 Some huge boy
00:35:43 - [Flash Bulb Clicks]
00:35:45 And messed up my vision real bad.
00:35:50 Then I-I-I-I-I just- I just couldn't
00:35:55 And that-That son of a bitch owner,
00:35:59 He said, uh, I had messed up
00:36:07 So, then I hitched my way down here.
00:36:14 I remember fighting out here once.
00:36:19 Air was clean.
00:36:22 [Champ] Been out here
00:36:26 Jesus Christ.
00:36:29 This is all I could find on your guy.
00:36:31 [Sighs]
00:36:33 I'll keep looking,
00:36:35 - Thank you.
00:36:37 Did you find the contact information
00:36:40 There are no listings in Ohio,
00:36:42 But I'll try New York, and then Pennsylvania.
00:36:45 - Thanks.
00:36:50 What's that?
00:36:52 [Woman] Did you get that press release
00:36:55 [Chattering]
00:36:58 [Jo Chattering]
00:37:00 I'll call you back. Come right on in.
00:37:05 - What's this?
00:37:07 That... is Battlin' Bob Satterfield.
00:37:13 Joe Blow.
00:37:15 - I'm questioning those investigative skills there.
00:37:19 We got this off a collector.
00:37:24 Beautiful.
00:37:27 To be a reporter back then.
00:37:31 You really are only as good
00:37:36 Which one's Satterfield?
00:37:38 He's, uh, this one here.
00:37:41 - See the scar on his back?
00:37:43 His dad gave him that when he was
00:37:53 Perfect. Perfect.
00:37:57 Champ, how's it goin', man?
00:38:00 Champ. What's up?
00:38:04 Jesus Christ, man,
00:38:11 Those kids do that?
00:38:15 - You probably need a drink, huh?
00:38:19 These guys are gonna give you a drink
00:38:22 Yeah. But they said the wind
00:38:25 But sometime they change their mind.
00:38:29 Champ, I'm gonna get you a drink.
00:38:32 It's gonna blow your mind.
00:38:34 - ¢Ü¢Ü[Oldies]
00:38:38 I really appreciate it.
00:38:40 - So it's just two minutes long?
00:38:48 Hey, Champ. Champ.
00:39:10 Who's that you're fightin' there,
00:39:13 Satterfield versus Kincaid.
00:39:17 Never had it in him to hurt a man.
00:39:22 He had skills though.
00:39:32 Where'd you get this?
00:39:34 Well, Champ, I'm a world-class
00:39:38 This is what I do.
00:39:56 - [Chuckles]
00:39:59 - [Woman] Who? The guy on the tape?
00:40:01 - [Woman] I can't tell.
00:40:04 ¢Ü¢Ü[Oldies Resume]
00:40:12 Hey, can I get that back?
00:40:15 - Could I- Quickly, actually.
00:40:16 Hey, Champ. Champ!
00:40:21 Hey, you all right?
00:40:24 I thought- I'm sorry.
00:40:30 You got kids?

00:40:40 your son does for you

00:41:29 We went to Columbia together.
00:41:33 She was a grad student,
00:41:37 She got pregnant.

00:41:43 - Oh, she done kicked your ass out, huh?

00:42:46 So, that was what, like,
00:42:49 I mean, come on, Junior, get over it.

00:06:45 See, Erik, this is the kind of piece that can

00:07:39 Because it made me proud,
00:07:44 So, you gonna be
00:07:48 Well, they've been calling,

00:08:59 So, um, let me ask you a question.
00:09:02 Yep.
00:09:03 Why didn't they use
00:09:06 I don't know.
00:09:08 Photo editor makes those calls. I-
00:09:11 I tell you what.

00:09:40 Yeah? Hello?
00:09:43 [Man]
00:09:45 [Sighs]
00:09:49 My name's Ike Epstein.
00:09:52 You write that article about Satterfield?
00:09:55 - Yeah.
00:09:58 Mm-Thank you.
00:10:00 But Satterfield's dead. Twenty years.
00:10:04 Bob Satterfield died in, uh...
00:10:07 '82, '83.
00:10:10 I just saw him last night.
00:10:12 [Chuckles]
00:10:15 Yeah, Satterfield. I-I-
00:10:17 I spoke with his son... on the phone.
00:10:21 His son told you he was alive?
00:10:23 - No, but they don't get along-
00:10:26 Okay.
00:10:31 Did you talk to, uh...
00:10:34 Satterfield's trainers?
00:10:38 His ringmen? Anybody like that?
00:10:41 Most of them-
00:10:45 Ernie...
00:10:47 Ike Epstein.
00:10:49 [Chuckles]
00:10:51 I'm good. Ernie,
00:10:55 Chicago boy?
00:10:57 Mm-hmm.
00:11:00 Well, you think he's dead
00:11:03 Ah, that's-that's what I think.
00:11:06 Okay.
00:11:07 Thanks. Take care of yourself.
00:11:11 He thinks he's dead.
00:11:13 - It's impossible.
00:11:15 [Scoffs]
00:11:19 [Dialing Continues]
00:11:23 [Groans]
00:11:27 Freddy? Ike.
00:11:30 Listen.
00:11:36 Yeah.
00:11:43 Okay. Thanks.
00:11:45 No, they're good.
00:11:50 He thinks he's dead,
00:11:53 - [Man] Who was that?
00:11:56 Impossible.
00:12:03 I just talked to him on the telephone.
00:12:05 It was Freddy Benjamin you talked to.
00:12:07 [Ike]
00:12:09 - Two years ago.
00:12:12 Freddy Benjamin is a putz.
00:12:15 Plus, he's dead.
00:12:18 Like Satterfield.
00:12:29 [Horn Honks]
00:12:33 - Hey, Champ.
00:12:36 Uh, nah. How you doin'?
00:12:39 Oh, about 80%. Oh, maybe 90% today.
00:12:43 Yeah. Movin' up in the world, huh?
00:12:45 Fella stopped by, gave me a hundred dollars.
00:12:49 Champ, I got a question for you.
00:12:52 It's important. Um-
00:12:54 Do you have a... I.D.?
00:12:57 Anything with your-
00:13:00 What do you need that for?
00:13:02 So that I can prove that you are
00:13:05 I mean, this guy- this ex-boxing guy-
00:13:09 - Some mornings I wake up, I think I'm dead too.
00:13:13 Yeah.
00:13:15 No, seriously though.
00:13:20 that I can prove
00:13:26 What did you say your name is again?
00:13:29 Erik Kernan.
00:13:31 - Can you prove that?
00:13:34 - Well, who took that picture?
00:13:36 And how did they know
00:13:40 Well, from my last driver's license
00:13:43 Oh! And who took that picture?
00:13:47 You see where I'm going with this?
00:13:49 No, Champ.
00:13:51 I don't- I just-
00:13:54 I need- How about a passport?
00:13:56 Do you have a passport?
00:14:00 I don't know.
00:14:03 - [Gasps]
00:14:06 Denver Times.!
00:14:10 - That's what I got.
00:14:13 Except for
00:14:21 [Ike]
00:14:23 I have a great research assistant.
00:14:25 Satterfield/Kincaid. I was there.
00:14:29 No shit? You were there?
00:14:31 - Really?
00:14:33 I went to all the Satterfield fights.
00:14:40 I knew-
00:14:42 His father did it to him when he
00:14:45 That's the man you interviewed?
00:14:47 - Yeah.
00:14:49 Yeah. Battlin' Bob Satterfield.
00:14:53 That's Kincaid.
00:14:57 - No-
00:15:02 You've been had, son.
00:15:06 Who would it hurt?
00:15:08 You, for one.
00:15:11 It wouldn't hurt me
00:15:13 Oh, is that an option,
00:15:15 Joyce, let me ask you a question, okay?
00:15:17 How many newspapers print articles with
00:15:21 - [Chuckles]
00:15:24 It's printed. It's out there.
00:15:26 Then print a retraction.
00:15:31 I can't just do that.
00:15:35 - Then give it back.
00:15:38 I don't know
00:15:43 It's not just the money.
00:15:46 The Showtime job?
00:15:50 Joyce, the point of the article
00:15:54 Okay, Erik. It's a lie.
00:15:57 I mean, if you profit by a lie,
00:16:01 If you write a great story
00:16:03 then you're just a liar
00:16:05 which is worse than an ordinary liar...
00:16:07 because people who can write
00:16:10 So, you're a liar, and you let me down,
00:16:14 who works on this paper down
00:16:17 Is that simple enough?
00:16:20 - No, Joyce, that's not simple enough.
00:16:23 You need to behave
00:16:45 [Man Announcing]
00:16:48 one minute, six seconds
00:16:53 [Cheering]
00:17:01 - Hey, Leo! Leo!
00:17:04 Hey. So-
00:17:06 Leo McCracken-
00:17:08 Hey, Leo- Leo McCracken,
00:17:12 - Oh, look, look, look, look, look!
00:17:15 - It's your Daddy?
00:17:17 Say something to your fans.
00:17:19 First- First I want to say
00:17:21 I want to say thank you
00:17:23 and my brother and father 'cause they
00:17:26 And, Erik- Man, you always
00:17:29 - Hard not to believe in 22-0.
00:17:33 - I get my mike back.
00:17:34 - Thank you.
00:17:36 - Looks like about all we're
00:17:39 It's gonna be a long night for Leo McCracken-
00:17:43 - I love you, Teddy.
00:17:49 [Child]
00:17:51 ¢Ü¢Ü[Man Singing Rock]
00:18:02 [Andrea]
00:18:05 Boy Wonder.
00:18:09 - You were terrific.
00:18:11 Sit.
00:18:14 Thanks, Miss Flak. I, uh-
00:18:16 That was fun.
00:18:19 - Do you mind?
00:18:21 What a city. The only place
00:18:24 and others
00:18:26 - [Chuckles]
00:18:30 - Fun is what it's all about.
00:18:34 - You want a drink?
00:18:38 - I'll take a scotch on the rocks, please. Thank you.
00:18:41 They're all watered down.
00:18:45 - Mmm. So-
00:18:47 Do you think we can turn this one-night
00:18:53 I'd like that.
00:18:57 Where's the smile, Erik?
00:19:01 Well, I guess it's just that, uh...
00:19:04 I'm not sure what I... actually did.
00:19:08 You were great. Photogenic.
00:19:11 Well, thank you.
00:19:14 That's the beauty of television.
00:19:20 So they tell me your old man was
00:19:24 Yeah, yeah. He was, um-
00:19:27 - [Woman] One scotch.
00:19:30 So, if we're gonna do this,
00:19:36 um-
00:19:38 Of course I need to continue
00:19:40 Um- So I can only work part-time
00:19:45 Well, this is a full-time gig, Erik,
00:19:55 Take a good look at me.
00:19:57 Yeah.
00:19:59 Does it look like I know
00:20:02 Does it look like I know the difference
00:20:05 or what a standing eight count is
00:20:09 See, I don't have to know
00:20:12 because Showtime
00:20:15 We spend a fortune being the best
00:20:19 But I am the head of casting, Erik...
00:20:21 and I am here to help Showtime
00:20:24 and that is entertain the shit
00:20:28 Because in the end, absolutely everything
00:20:36 There is no journalism anymore.
00:20:39 The people who cling to the hopes
00:20:42 are only slightly less naive
00:20:44 they can pray their way
00:20:46 And do you know
00:20:51 Is the truth.
00:20:54 This guy who won-
00:20:57 McCracken.
00:20:59 Do you think anybody really wants to know
00:21:03 How badly his manager
00:21:06 or how bad his life's
00:21:09 Maybe end up on the street
00:21:11 The answer is "no."
00:21:15 It's "no."
00:21:17 Men want to see triumph,
00:21:20 Here you are,
00:21:23 to make their husbands not resent you.
00:21:28 Oh. That's-
00:21:32 That doesn't sound
00:21:34 Well, it never does
00:21:41 Who's Teddy, by the way?
00:21:43 - He's my son. He's six.
00:21:45 - I bet he's a cutie-pie.
00:21:48 And proud as hell of you tonight.
00:21:51 [Chuckles]
00:21:54 So...
00:21:56 would you like to come
00:22:01 No. You know what?
00:22:04 I'm gonna catch the last flight out,
00:22:08 Mm.
00:22:11 Monday we'll talk.
00:22:26 [Door Closes]
00:22:29 Hey.
00:22:31 [Sighs]
00:22:35 I took the last flight out.
00:22:38 [Clicks Tongue]
00:22:42 Well, not unusual at 1:00
00:22:48 - Did you let him watch it?
00:22:51 Night of his life,
00:22:58 What'd you think? How'd I do?
00:23:00 You did exactly
00:23:09 Joyce, I can't get it off my brain.
00:23:14 That's because you're decent.
00:23:22 I'm gonna speak to Whitley tomorrow.
00:23:25 I'm gonna drop the bomb on him.
00:23:28 Good.
00:23:33 I'm so fired.
00:23:36 It's cold.
00:23:39 [Sighs]
00:23:47 You know,
00:23:49 everybody I meet knows
00:23:56 The only image I have of him...
00:23:59 is a bus poster and some audiotapes.
00:24:04 I don't want that to happen
00:24:07 I want to move back home, Joyce.
00:24:10 I'll do whatever you want me to do.
00:24:12 I'll... just do-
00:24:17 I just want Teddy to know me.
00:24:19 And you think because you're here,
00:24:25 You don't know whether to run away
00:24:28 and the minute that you figure that out,
00:24:33 [Exhales]
00:24:36 Seeing Whitley...
00:24:39 it's the right thing.
00:24:46 Erik, you kicked ass on Showtime.
00:24:49 - Thanks.
00:24:54 Erik.
00:24:58 - Mr. Whitley, I wanted to-
00:25:02 [Man]... talk about my family.
00:25:04 - that everything I've ever done with my life-
00:25:08 [Man #2 Chattering]
00:25:10 - I just want you to let me
00:25:14 It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:25:16 I was a great fan of your dad's.
00:25:19 I'd like you to meet my client,
00:25:25 I traveled all this way, Mr. Kernan...
00:25:28 to look into the eyes of the man
00:25:32 that I was ashamed of my father.
00:25:35 The man you've been interviewing-
00:25:38 has been impersonating
00:25:41 fraudulently fought under his name
00:25:43 There was even an injunction
00:25:49 We've come to sue your ass
00:25:52 you and this newspaper.
00:25:58 The author of the piece
00:26:01 the son of the legendary radio
00:26:05 Kernan, who recently began a broadcasting
00:26:11 Reporters must be held
00:26:15 Apologies don't-
00:26:17 - You can't go around saying things
00:26:20 - Great. Great.
00:26:23 - There's a cliche for you.
00:26:26 - Right, Ralph?
00:26:29 A little humility.
00:26:31 - Hey, you know what?
00:26:34 Just change it to, like,
00:26:37 So, Showtime, huh?
00:26:41 I saw you. You were good.
00:26:48 You know what bothers me the most?
00:26:50 What's that, Ralph?
00:26:53 I only found out about this piece
00:26:56 You deceived me.
00:27:02 That hurts my feelings.
00:27:04 Ah, come on, Ralph.
00:27:16 The magazine is gonna
00:27:19 How big, I don't know.
00:27:22 And Satterfield Jr.
00:27:24 - Could I get another one? Thanks.
00:27:26 - And S-Are you listening to me?
00:27:28 - I'm over here. Look at me.
00:27:32 There's gonna be a settlement meeting...
00:27:34 at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon.
00:27:36 You're expected to be there.
00:27:39 Okay.
00:27:44 You know,
00:27:46 on account of this-
00:27:48 And there's gonna be an internal review.
00:27:50 We're gonna wanna talk to your wife.
00:27:53 What are you talking about?
00:27:55 We want to make sure Joyce didn't
00:27:57 You know Joyce didn't have anything
00:27:59 Joyce is a brilliant journalist.
00:28:02 It'd be a damn shame if you somehow
00:28:07 Tell me.
00:28:09 Was it just sloppy journalism,
00:28:13 - What?
00:28:17 Here's- Here. Look.
00:28:21 That's Satterfield's obituary.
00:28:26 A black paper.
00:28:30 You ought to resign.
00:28:32 That's for the bum.
00:28:36 People have been
00:28:39 Ralph, he's not a bum.
00:28:41 He's homeless.
00:28:43 Nah, he's a bum.
00:28:50 [Car Alarm Wailing In Distance]
00:29:02 - Champ.
00:29:04 - This is for you.
00:29:06 Open it.
00:29:09 - People who read your article
00:29:13 It's for poor Bob Satterfield.
00:29:15 [Chuckles]
00:29:20 You're not Bob Satterfield.
00:29:22 Who says?
00:29:24 His son, for one.
00:29:26 Yeah, well, he always
00:29:28 The Chicago Defender.
00:29:31 - Sure, I know Ike! How he doin'?
00:29:35 You're Tommy Kincaid.
00:29:39 Bob Satterfield knocked you out
00:29:45 - [Horn Honks In Distance]
00:29:47 I didn't make no fool out of you.
00:29:50 Why, because I believed you?
00:29:53 I didn't know you had one.
00:29:55 Yeah, well,
00:29:58 - I'm Battlin' Bob Satterfield.
00:30:00 I've been Satterfield longer than
00:30:05 Now just go on.
00:30:09 I can't believe I let
00:30:11 I ain't no loser.
00:30:14 I-I-I fought Harold Johnson
00:30:18 Went the distance with Floyd Patterson.
00:30:21 - You're nothing. You're nobody.
00:30:25 - Just go home, okay?
00:30:27 [Both Grunting]
00:30:31 [Woman] Um, um, hi.
00:30:34 400 block of Curtis-
00:30:36 Yeah. Yeah, there's- He got knocked out,
00:30:41 It's a homeless guy.
00:30:44 Uh, yeah, this guy with a cart-

00:30:50 [Sirens Wailing]
00:30:57 [Erik] Because I work
00:30:59 He-He was a- He was a homeless man,
00:31:02 and, I don't know,
00:31:04 - Oh, yeah, you're that, uh- that writer guy.
00:31:08 - And I want to press charges,
00:31:11 - I'm sorry. My-
00:31:14 - My husband is heavily medicated.
00:31:16 He can't be expected to make
00:31:19 - We'll let you know
00:31:24 Okay. Uh, top one's from Showtime.
00:31:39 What?
00:31:43 Nothing.
00:31:44 Joyce, I don't need this right now, okay?
00:31:48 I don't need a lecture. All right?
00:31:53 I know I screwed up.
00:31:57 I'll take care of it myself.
00:31:59 Oh, well, you certainly demonstrated
00:32:02 I mean, I get drunk and pick fights...
00:32:04 - with professional boxers when I'm upset too.
00:32:07 Yeah.
00:32:09 What do you want? What?
00:32:11 I mean- Okay.
00:32:15 I'm a monumental screw-up.
00:32:18 There. Alert the media.
00:32:21 Oh, that's long done.
00:32:24 - Kernan, the great name in journalism, sullied.
00:32:28 The Rocky Mountain News
00:32:30 on your quote-unquote "colossal blunder"
00:32:35 Great.
00:32:38 I went to see him.
00:32:41 At the jailhouse.
00:32:43 He wouldn't talk to me.
00:32:47 He wouldn't talk to the other reporters
00:32:50 See, he's protecting your byline.
00:32:52 He still thinks he's helping his friend.
00:32:54 He humiliated me.
00:32:57 He lied to you. That's his fault.
00:32:59 You're a journalist.
00:33:03 Not to mention the fact that you're a boxing
00:33:07 and until a few weeks ago,
00:33:13 Look, Erik. You have a chance
00:33:18 Take it.
00:33:21 Okay, I'll take it.
00:33:38 You owe me. Remember that.
00:33:41 I'll remember.
00:33:53 Nice suit.
00:33:54 Yeah, the Salvation Army gives them
00:33:58 But I think they're knockoffs,
00:34:00 Armani starts with a "A," right?
00:34:02 You have anywhere in particular

00:34:36 [Door Closes]
00:34:41 [Clears Throat]
00:34:53 This, uh-This don't belong to me.
00:34:55 It belongs to Bob Satterfield.
00:34:58 Satterfield's dead.
00:35:00 Well, do what you want to with it.
00:35:10 Might as well keep it.
00:35:12 - I ain't Satterfield now.
00:35:15 All right. As long as you know.
00:35:27 [Groans]
00:35:33 - [Shoe Scraping Ground]
00:35:37 He come to me
00:35:39 - Hey, Tommy.
00:35:42 The boys tell me you used to box
00:35:45 - [Champ] 'Cause he had a name.
00:35:49 Battling Bob Satterfield!
00:35:52 [Crowd Cheering]
00:35:54 [Champ]
00:35:56 Don't nobody know no better.
00:36:00 And-And I was a winner
00:36:04 I wasn't me no more.
00:36:07 I was- I was Satterfield, see?
00:36:11 I was somebody better.
00:36:13 Better than my own self.
00:36:16 - [Crowd Cheering]
00:36:18 [Champ]
00:36:21 When I got done fighting,
00:36:26 met Betty, had a son by her.
00:36:31 But you never see where
00:36:34 [Groans]
00:36:36 What do you mean?
00:36:38 Well, my son, he found out.
00:36:43 Found an old Ring magazine.
00:36:45 "You ain't Satterfield!"
00:36:49 He didn't want nothin'
00:36:52 Joined a gang, got hisself killed.
00:36:59 I couldn't go back to Betty behind that.
00:37:10 Well, Tommy, I wish you would've
00:37:14 Yeah.
00:37:19 You-You said you wanted your shot.
00:37:22 That's what you said to me,
00:37:34 My father left me when I was a little kid.
00:37:37 - Not that I recall, no.
00:37:41 He left me and my mom.
00:37:46 They were never really right
00:37:50 He was a lot older than she was,
00:37:56 He left.
00:37:58 The only thing I really remember is...
00:38:01 it made my mom cry.
00:38:04 He never called. He never wrote.
00:38:12 And I hate him for it.
00:38:16 And I didn't run wild like your boy.
00:38:24 I just...
00:38:26 thought I would try and be
00:38:29 Try and be a hero to him.
00:38:32 [Sighs]
00:38:35 'Cause every kid wants to think
00:38:37 Yeah, that's right.
00:38:42 So, what you gonna do now?
00:38:47 Uh-
00:38:50 In about an hour I gotta go over
00:38:54 Career Day.
00:38:56 Career Day? What's that?
00:38:58 Well, I'm gonna tell a bunch of six-year-olds
00:39:02 - Oh, irony! [Chuckles]
00:39:10 You, uh, think
00:39:16 I don't know, Champ,
00:39:19 I gotta think on what to say.
00:39:23 I don't think you have to
00:39:31 Just for the record,
00:39:34 That's the truth.
00:39:37 Busted his nose.
00:39:39 - Not the big bone, but the little one.
00:39:45 [Engine Starts]
00:40:09 [Sighs]
00:40:11 [Teddy]
00:40:14 He writes for newspapers.
00:40:17 My dad's been up for the Pu-
00:40:19 - Pulitzer.
00:40:21 Meaning that he's one
00:40:25 My dad writes about boxing
00:40:29 'cause he's, like,
00:40:33 and, uh, Coach Shanahan.
00:40:35 He even plays golf with Muhammad Ali.
00:40:37 And he turned down, like,
00:40:41 - And also-
00:40:44 Okay. Dad?
00:40:56 - [Erik] Hi, kids.
00:41:00 Um, I g-
00:41:04 ask you if you have any questions.
00:41:11 - Okay. Yeah?
00:41:15 Um-
00:41:18 Uh, well, why don't we, uh-
00:41:21 Maybe we'd be better served
00:41:24 what it means to be a journalist.
00:41:26 How about that?
00:41:29 - Are you gonna change your last name?
00:41:32 My dad said you should change your last name
00:41:36 He says your dad was really great
00:41:39 On the TV, they said you made up
00:41:42 [Teacher]
00:41:44 maybe Mr. Kernan can explain to us...
00:41:46 how fast he has to turn in a story
00:41:53 That's a very good question.
00:41:56 Usually I'll turn in a story about two hours
00:42:03 I wish I were dead.
00:42:06 He's six. He'll bounce back.
00:42:12 Look, this boy, he loves you.
00:42:16 He knows that you're not a liar.
00:42:20 He'll be home in an hour.
00:42:30 I can't.
00:42:33 I gotta go
00:42:36 Round out a perfect day.
00:42:41 But I'll be fine.
00:42:44 I'll be fantastic.
00:42:47 They really broke the mold with me, huh?
00:42:53 Bob Satterfield
00:42:55 He was an icon-
00:42:57 And to have his name
00:42:59 Okay, but that's not the issue.
00:43:03 Riley, we're embarrassed by what happened.
00:43:06 Nobody reads retractions.
00:43:08 They read the lie, the lie sticks.
00:43:10 Look. Mr. Kernan is here
00:43:13 to you and your family,
00:43:19 Erik.
00:43:23 I'm responsible, Mr. Satterfield.
00:43:28 I was careless.
00:43:32 And worse than that...
00:43:34 after the story ran,
00:43:37 that it was wrong,
00:43:41 I know that I can't undo the damage...
00:43:45 but I'd like to try.
00:43:46 Try in what way?
00:43:49 The only way that I know how.
00:43:51 And say what?
00:43:53 I'd say that I made a mistake.
00:43:55 That-
00:43:58 I'd talk about your father.
00:44:01 Let's talk about damages,
00:44:04 Bob Satterfield was a great figure
00:44:07 Nah, he wasn't none of that.
00:44:13 He a pretty good boxer
00:44:18 But he was a very good man.
00:44:22 And a good father, and I'd-
00:44:25 Would you put that in your story?
00:44:27 I would. I would.
00:44:30 [Satterfield Jr.]
00:44:33 You said you was Erik Kernan.
00:44:38 Your old man hit my dad
00:44:45 I'd like to read your story.
00:44:47 I think it'd go a long way
00:45:14 Jesus Christ, I get it already!
00:45:22 [Exhales]
00:45:27 [Doorbell Rings]
00:45:31 Hey. I've been trying to reach you.
00:45:34 I know. I, uh-
00:45:38 Did you hear about the deal?
00:45:41 Yeah, I-I heard.
00:45:44 Is Teddy awake?
00:45:47 He says he's not feeling well...
00:45:49 and, uh, he doesn't want
00:45:53 Can I speak with him? Could I come in?
00:45:59 Yeah.
00:46:11 [Whispering]
00:46:15 Daddy?
00:46:17 Hey.
00:46:24 Are the kids in your class
00:46:29 Yeah.
00:46:32 Everybody says
00:46:38 I made some mistakes, Teddy.
00:46:43 I made a lot of mistakes.
00:46:46 But did you make it up?
00:46:51 The truth is...
00:46:55 I wrote what Champ told me.
00:46:58 I believed him.
00:47:01 But I shouldn't have. I-
00:47:03 [Sighs] I was more interested
00:47:06 than what it actually was.
00:47:08 You know? The truth.
00:47:12 I burned you, buddy. I'm sorry.
00:47:15 It's okay.
00:47:21 Not about all this...
00:47:24 but, in general...
00:47:28 are you pretty proud of me?
00:47:30 Real proud.
00:47:34 And would you be proud of me...
00:47:36 even if I didn't have, like,
00:47:39 Like, if I wasn't a big shot?
00:47:41 Well, not as much, but pretty close.
00:47:52 Teddy, I told you a lot of things
00:47:55 Like being friends
00:48:00 Yeah.
00:48:02 What about playing golf
00:48:09 I covered a celebrity golf tournament,
00:48:12 But, Dad, I told everybody
00:48:16 Does that mean I'm a liar too?
00:48:20 No, it doesn't.
00:48:22 It means that you trusted me...
00:48:25 and you told everybody
00:48:29 And you should be able
00:48:40 So I'm sorry.
00:48:42 I think I should go to sleep now.
00:48:46 Hey.
00:48:49 Come here. Give me a hug.
00:48:56 You're such a good kid.

00:49:27 I'm lookin' for you.
00:49:31 - Lookin' for me?
00:49:33 - What for?
00:49:36 - You're still strong.
00:49:40 Ah.! Champ, you don't look old.
00:49:43 I'm makin' a comeback.
00:49:45 Rocky Marciano, back in the ring.
00:49:48 I'm lookin' for somebody to spar with.
00:49:51 Be an honor for me
00:49:54 Good. Let's get started then.
00:49:56 - Let's see if you got some of the old moves.
00:49:59 - Come on, Champ.
00:50:02 I still got a few.
00:50:04 Well, let's see 'em then.

00:50:43 Okay. All right, all right.

00:52:29 Having your words published,
00:52:32 puts your talent on display.
00:52:35 And there's nowhere to hide.
00:52:40 I never intended to write a story
00:52:44 - Or the lies that can sometimes come from love.
00:52:48 [Erik Narrating] I will tell you this
00:52:51 whom everybody called Champ.
00:52:54 He was, against all reason, my friend.
00:53:00 And he was also a liar.
00:53:01 [Minister, Indistinct]
00:53:03 But was that because
00:53:06 better than who he was?
00:53:08 Or was it because
00:53:10 than a son wanting
00:53:13 is the father wanting
00:53:18 Sometimes we need the help
