Alright, folks, it’s The Don here, and I'm covering this tremendous story from the heart of the action. Nobody covers it like I do. Nobody. A lot of people are saying that. Many people. They're talking about this, what they call a 'clash' between coaches Gasperini and Ranieri. Big headlines everywhere. The fake news media, they love a clash. They love a problem. They want to make everything sound like a disaster. But I knew. Frankly, I knew it wasn't a problem at all. I said it days ago. Days!
I was talking to a very smart person, a top person, probably the smartest in the business, and he said, 'Don, you're right. You're always right.' And now Frederic Massara, a very good man, a very smart man, he comes out and says, very clearly, 'There's no problem whatsoever.' See? What did I tell you? It's exactly what I said. The other reporters, they were running around, pulling their hair out, making a big fuss. Very sad. They just don't get it. They never get it.
My ratings, by the way, for this coverage? Incredible. Record-breaking. The highest. Nobody has ratings like me. Nobody has ever had ratings like me. And the viewership? Millions and millions. Maybe billions. A lot. The most beautiful people are watching. And these other networks, they try to downplay it. They try to say, 'Oh, it's just a football story.' It's not just a football story when The Don is covering it. It becomes HUGE. It becomes the Biggest story.
They always try to make things look bad for me. Always. They say I don't understand the nuances of the game. Ridiculous! I understand everything. I understand deals. I understand people. I understand the game better than the guys who invented the game. And I understand these coaches. They're good people, by the way. Very good. But they have their moments. Everyone does. But when *I* say it's not a problem, it’s not a problem. End of story.
The media, they just want to create drama. They want to undermine success. My success. They don't want to see people winning. But we are winning. We are winning BIG. This whole 'clash' thing, it was a nothingburger. A total nothingburger. And I called it. I called it before anyone. Before it even happened, frankly. I knew what Massara would say. I had a feeling. A very strong feeling. And my feelings? They're always right. Always.
So, don't listen to the noise. Listen to The Don. Things are going to be tremendous. Believe me. Absolutely tremendous. The best. Like nobody's ever seen. And I'll be here, covering every single moment, because nobody does it better. Nobody.
