Skon\u010dila mi hostova\u010dka ve Sportu, tak se vrac\u00edm zp\u00e1tky na dom\u00e1c\u00ed hri\u0161t\u011b. A\u010dkoliv to bude znovu o sportu a taky o Sportu. P\u00ed\u0161u v aut\u011b, val\u00edme na Calgary, pak Banff, pak Lake Louis. Do divo\u010diny. Zase. Mraz\u00ed mi radost\u00ed. A kamar\u00e1di: mysl\u00edm na v\u00e1s. Po\u0159\u00e1d.<\/p>\n

U\u017e kdysi ve druh\u00e1ku na gymn\u00e1ziu m\u011b mamka \u201cdonutila\u201d nahr\u00e1t \u00faryvek koment\u00e1\u0159e hokejov\u00e9ho z\u00e1pasu a poslat ho do \u010cesk\u00e9ho rozhlasu, kde zrovna hledali posily do t\u00fdmu legend\u00e1rn\u00edho po\u0159adu \u201cS mikrofonem za hokejem\u201d. \u0158\u00edkala: \u201cSpoj z\u00e1bavu s n\u011b\u010d\u00edm u\u017eite\u010dn\u00fdm.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mysl\u00edm, \u017ee byly letn\u00ed pr\u00e1zdniny, tak jsem slo\u017eit\u011b p\u0159id\u011blal ke stoln\u00edmu po\u010d\u00edta\u010di extern\u00ed mikrofon a namluvil asi t\u0159i minuty utk\u00e1n\u00ed Sparty (v\u00ed b\u016fh proti komu). T\u011b\u017eko \u0159\u00edct, kdo tehdy v m\u00e9 fantasii sk\u00f3roval. Ale poslal jsem to. S nad\u011bj\u00ed, \u017ee t\u00edm cel\u00e1 anab\u00e1ze taky skon\u010d\u00ed.<\/p>\n
Jen\u017ee. Co \u010dert necht\u011bl, pozvali m\u011b k osobn\u00edmu pohovoru. Netu\u0161\u00edm, pro\u010d jsem to tehdy nezaml\u010del. Tak\u017ee jsem si to v n\u011bjak\u00fdch \u0161estn\u00e1cti nakr\u00e1\u010del do redakce na Vinohradsk\u00e9 ulici a zaklepal na dve\u0159e. Kdy\u017e m\u011b vid\u011bli, tak mi asi cht\u011bli nab\u00eddnout lentilky.<\/p>\n
Dopadlo to, jak to dopadnout muselo. \u201cZ\u016fstaneme v kontaktu, te\u010f hled\u00e1me n\u011bkoho p\u0159eci jen trochu star\u0161\u00edho.\u201d \u00daleva. I tak pr\u00e1v\u011b tohle asi byl za\u010d\u00e1tek v\u0161eho. Chodit zadarmo na hokej a br\u00e1t za to pen\u00edze. Nic v\u00edc neexistovalo.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
Stoj\u00edme na chodb\u011b ar\u00e9ny v Pittsburghu a proti n\u00e1m jde Sidney Crosby. P\u0159ed t\u00fddnem proti n\u00e1m \u0161el medv\u011bdl grizzly. \u017divot je zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00ed. Ale j\u00e1 se vrac\u00edm do toho, kter\u00fd zn\u00e1m p\u0159eci jen o trochu v\u00edc. Dva t\u00fddny Sv\u011btov\u00e9ho poh\u00e1ru, dva t\u00fddny psan\u00ed do novin.<\/p>\n
U\u017eil jsem si to. Proto\u017ee Kanada uk\u00e1zala, jak si m\u016f\u017ee sport v sou\u010dasn\u00e9 spole\u010dnosti naj\u00edt m\u00edsto. Jak m\u016f\u017ee b\u00fdt show. Jak mohou dostat fanou\u0161ci nejen samotn\u00fd z\u00e1pas ale i doprovodn\u00fd servis v podob\u011b rozhovor\u016f, rozbor\u016f\u2026 A jak za to n\u00e1sledn\u011b r\u00e1di zaplat\u00ed.<\/p>\n
Nejv\u011bt\u0161\u00ed hv\u011bzdy t\u00e9hle hry byly den co den k dispozici a trp\u011bliv\u011b odpov\u00eddaly na ot\u00e1zky. Dv\u011b hodiny p\u0159ed z\u00e1pasem. Proto\u017ee si uv\u011bdomuj\u00ed, \u017ee div\u00e1ci je cht\u011bj\u00ed sly\u0161et. \u017de div\u00e1ci umo\u017e\u0148uj\u00ed fungov\u00e1n\u00ed kolosu jm\u00e9nem NHL. (a t\u00edm p\u00e1dem existenci jejich v\u00fdplatn\u00edch p\u00e1sek)<\/p>\n
P\u0159i vzpom\u00ednce na nekone\u010dn\u00e1 \u010dek\u00e1n\u00ed na chodb\u00e1ch \u010desk\u00fdch stadion\u016f, abychom mohli po\u0159\u00eddit t\u0159i minuty pov\u00edd\u00e1n\u00ed s chlapcem ze t\u0159et\u00ed p\u011btky\u2026 Inu, jin\u00fd sv\u011bt. T\u0159eba se mu jednou p\u0159ibl\u00ed\u017e\u00edme. T\u0159eba pochop\u00edme, \u017ee jin\u00e1 cesta nen\u00ed.<\/p>\n

\u017d\u00edt v Torontu bych si up\u0159\u00edmn\u011b taky p\u0159edstavit dovedl. Na jednu stranu mrakodrapy, na druhou stranu \u010d\u00ednsk\u00e1 (a jin\u00e9) \u010dtvr\u0165. Ka\u017ed\u00fd den n\u011bjak\u00fd z\u00e1pas. Baseball, fotbal, hokej, basketball. I p\u011bkn\u00fd bar jsme si tam na\u0161li.<\/p>\n
Prvn\u00ed t\u00fdden jsme bydleli s kolegou a legendou \u010desk\u00e9 hokejov\u00e9 \u017eurnalistiky v \u201capartm\u00e1nu\u201d. Pronajal n\u00e1m ho Ind a byla tam jedna postel. Ani ne velikosti man\u017eelsk\u00e9. Nakonec mo\u017en\u00e1 lep\u0161\u00ed ne\u017e hotel s p\u011bti hv\u011bzdami, byla to sranda.<\/p>\n
Druh\u00fd t\u00fdden u\u017e to bylo zase zp\u00e1tky z dod\u00e1vky. C\u00edtil jsem se mezi borci z TSN a dal\u0161\u00edch top m\u00e9di\u00ed trochu zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u011b, jejich obleky dost mo\u017en\u00e1 m\u011bly v\u011bt\u0161\u00ed hodnotu ne\u017e moje bydlen\u00ed\u2026 Ale\u2026 Zase to zapadalo do p\u0159edstav o tomhle roku. Tro\u0161ku punk. Tro\u0161ku dost.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
Kdy\u017e se rozjede takov\u00e1 akce, chci \u017e\u00edt skoro jenom j\u00ed. Vn\u00edmat v\u0161echno kolem, zkusit to prom\u00edtnout do psan\u00ed. Tak\u017ee jsem byl dost \u010dasto od r\u00e1na do noci v ar\u00e9n\u011b, v m\u00edstnosti pro m\u00e9dia. Ale b\u00fdt U TOHO, to je to, \u010d\u00edm je takhle pr\u00e1ce po\u0159\u00e1d v\u00fdjime\u010dn\u00e1.<\/p>\n
Nech\u00e1pu, \u017ee n\u011bkdo m\u016f\u017ee sledovat ukt\u00e1n\u00ed od televize, kdy\u017e m\u00e1 m\u00edsto na tribun\u011b. V\u017edy\u0165 tam nikdy neuvid\u00edte, jak se chov\u00e1 st\u0159\u00edda\u010dka, jak reaguj\u00ed fanou\u0161ci. Prost\u011b to nen\u00ed ono. Tak jsem chodil na v\u0161echno. Ka\u017ed\u00fd z\u00e1pas. Pecka.<\/p>\n
Sponzorem turnaje byla Pepsi. Co\u017e je za trest. Miluju Coca Colu. Ne, nen\u00ed to stejn\u00fd. Taky jsem pil litry, litry a litry kafe. B\u011b\u017en\u011b si ho ned\u00e1v\u00e1m v\u016fbec, ale tady mus\u00edte n\u011bjak vyplnit plonkov\u00e9 chvilky. Tak val\u00edte \u010dernou bre\u010dku se smetanou a cpete se um\u011bl\u00fdm kol\u00e1\u010dem.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
Te\u010f u\u017e sed\u00edm zp\u00e1tky v aut\u011b, za p\u00e1r dn\u00ed se budu hl\u00e1sit u d\u00e1my se dvan\u00e1cti psy husky. Budu j\u00ed za j\u00eddlo a bydlen\u00ed pom\u00e1hat starat se o tu sme\u010dku, ud\u011blat n\u011bjak\u00e9 d\u0159evo. Je to samota, kde nen\u00ed moc elekt\u0159ina, tak se top\u00ed d\u0159evem. T\u011b\u0161\u00edm se.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
Ale po\u0159\u00e1d je tu ot\u00e1zka, kter\u00e1 se vrac\u00ed \u2013 \u201cChce\u0161 j\u00edt zp\u00e1tky do Sportu? Stoj\u00edme o tebe, kdykoliv\u2026\u201d \u010casu na odpov\u011b\u010f je dost. P\u0159esto o tom mus\u00edm p\u0159em\u00fd\u0161let.<\/p>\n
Pro m\u011b ta zna\u010dka hodn\u011b znamen\u00e1. Nejsou to jenom \u201cnoviny\u201d. Maj\u00ed to b\u00fdt nejlep\u0161\u00ed NOVINY. A pokud tomu m\u016f\u017eu trochu pomoct, cht\u011bl bych to ud\u011blat.<\/p>\n
V\u00edm, \u017ee pokud to tady v\u0161echno p\u0159e\u017eiju, tak se vr\u00e1t\u00edm daleko lep\u0161\u00ed, odpo\u010dinut\u011bj\u0161\u00ed a siln\u011bj\u0161\u00ed, ne\u017e jsem v kv\u011btnu odj\u00ed\u017ed\u011bl. Tak\u017ee bych zase n\u011bjakou dobu m\u011bl energii bojovat proti \u201csyst\u00e9mu\u201d \u010desk\u00e9ho prost\u0159ed\u00ed. Zkusit tu kulturu kolem sportu i t\u00edm pouh\u00fdm psan\u00edm zlep\u0161it.<\/p>\n
Nav\u00edc bych mohl znovu pracovat s \u010dlov\u011bkem, kter\u00fd m\u011b v\u0161echno nau\u010dil a m\u00e1me k sob\u011b hodn\u011b bl\u00edzko i lidsky. Pokud o m\u011b n\u011bkdo takov\u00fd stoj\u00ed, tak t\u011b\u017eko m\u016f\u017eu \u0159\u00edct ne. Je to skoro jako \u0159\u00edct ne svoj\u00ed rodin\u011b.<\/p>\n
Na druhou stranu. Jsem ready str\u00e1vit \u201czbytek \u017eivota\u201d v newsroomu v Hole\u0161ovic\u00edch? Po tom v\u0161em, co jsem tady ochutnal? Sp\u00ed\u0161 ne. Cht\u011bl bych se jet starat o kon\u011b na farmu ve \u0160v\u00e9dsku, \u010dasem si d\u00e1t dal\u0161\u00ed rok na Nov\u00e9m Z\u00e9landu. Je\u0161t\u011b chv\u00edli prost\u011b neb\u00fdt sou\u010d\u00e1st\u00ed syst\u00e9mu.<\/p>\n
Po\u0159\u00e1d pot\u0159ebuji i osobn\u00ed v\u00fdzvy (ne \u017ee by j\u00ed ta pr\u00e1ce \u010d\u00e1ste\u010dn\u011b nebyla), ne\u017e\u00edt si ve stereotypu pofid\u00e9rn\u00edch jistot, kter\u00e9 v\u00e1m stejn\u011b jeden moment nepozornosti na D1 p\u0159i no\u010dn\u00edm n\u00e1vratu z play off ve Zl\u00edn\u011b vezme\u2026<\/p>\n
