Around fifty people scattered from a 89 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: home on Atkins Street Sunday night when police responded to 90 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: a neighbor's tip about an underage party at an airbnb. 91 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: Neighbor Peter Holt said he tried contacting the owner, but 92 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: it's impossible to find them because while the airbnb has 93 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 3: been a nuisance for years, the property is assigned to 94 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 3: an LLC in Arizona. On Sunday night, Pittsburgh Police responded 95 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 3: to a call from a neighbor about a party involving 96 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: underage kids. From holtz property, you can see red solo 97 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: cups empty alcohol bottles trash that cover the house, but 98 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 3: on Sunday night's bus police found people hiding behind the windows. 99 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: After getting a search warrant, they found several underage kids 100 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 3: inside and others ran from the scene. But Holt said 101 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 3: this isn't the first party. He and his wife have 102 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 3: made dozens of calls to the city over the last 103 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: three years about the home, but little can be done 104 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: about it. 105 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 6: It's such bs. 106 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 7: There has to be an ordinance created so that you 107 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 7: just don't allow short term rentals. That's it, because it's 108 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 7: not fair to the homeowners there. It's also driving their 109 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 7: home values down exactly. So for many reasons, you just 110 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 7: outlaw short term rentals in those kinds of places. I mean, 111 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 7: we saw that tragic, you know, series of events unfold 112 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 7: at the Airbnb party in the North Side was it 113 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 7: two years ago? 114 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 6: In New Orleans? 115 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 7: This has been a big deal because that is a 116 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 7: town that people just want to go to and party 117 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 7: and leave. So all of these homes were being bought 118 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 7: up by these kinds of companies that were just throwing 119 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 7: them up. They were like fixing them up enough so 120 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 7: that they look nice enough. 121 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 6: They're bear on the inside. 122 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 7: They you know, you employ a cleaning service, you have 123 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 7: a house manager, and you just rented out two nights, fine, 124 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 7: no problem. It can easily be avoided by having like 125 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 7: even short term rental stipulations like five nights will keep 126 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 7: kids from doing that kind of stuff. 127 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 4: You mean, just so when. 128 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 3: You're talking about short term rental, like it clearly sounds 129 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: like this was some kind of super Bowl party. Yeah too, right, 130 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 3: because it's a Sunday night. So if you're doing oh, 131 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 3: one night, right whatever, somebody's got there a credit card 132 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: because again this is underage kids. Yes, yikes, So somebody 133 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 3: had daddy's credit card right ready to go. 134 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 7: So the way you you know, guard against that kind 135 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 7: of thing is, oh, you want to rent the house, well, 136 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 7: it's a minimum of seven nights and there they can't afford. 137 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: To do that. 138 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 3: Even if you were staying in an airbnb, are you 139 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: more likely to feel comfortable if you see it's a 140 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: property where the person who owns it either lives close. 141 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 6: By or uh. 142 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 7: I think that it's weird because a lot of times 143 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 7: when somebody rents you an Airbnb or v I usually 144 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 7: use VRBO. 145 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 6: I don't use if I'm going to do anything. 146 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 7: But now the fees and everything have made it so 147 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 7: that it's not even it's cost prohibitive. I mean it's 148 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 7: easier to go to a hotel. You have way less 149 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 7: headaches in a hotel. And if you're not trying to 150 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 7: actually just have a party somewhere because you're a bunch 151 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 7: of underage kids and you're trying to go to a 152 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 7: town for an event.

Everything is rickety, cupboards break easy, and 176 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 7: the beds are like just barely good enough. 177 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 3: Has to be a SuperHost who's kind of rich and 178 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: has an extra property. 179 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 6: You pay for that, though, that's what I mean. 180 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 7: It starts to become cost prohibitive, so it has to 181 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 7: be that you're willing to pay a premium to do it. 182 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 6: It used to be, oh, this is cheaper in the hotel. 183 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 7: If we get six of us and we get an airbnb, 184 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 7: well this is way cheaper than a hotel room. But 185 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 7: that's just not the case most of the time. That anymore. 186 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 7: If you want a place worth renting so at any rate, 187 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 7: they need to create an ordinance. So where was that again? 188 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 4: Was it up in Atkins Street. So in Oakland, all right. 189 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 5: You gotta have short term rental stipulations. That's all. 190 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 7: Get rid of this stuff because it's just not fair 191 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 7: to the people who live in those neighborhoods. That's my 192 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 7: soapbox dance this morning. 193 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,599 Speaker 6: Three day minimum.

And if you don't like people, that's okay, 247 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 5: because New Orleans is incredible every other day of the year. 248 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 6: I know, like you never have to go that day. 249 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 7: I know, I thought about going down this weekend because 250 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 7: we have Monday off for President's Day.

While when I was there, like Doctor 276 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 7: John was playing, the Neville Brothers were playing, and these 277 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 7: huge floats are coming in and so this year, I 278 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 7: think last year it was Trombone Shorty and there was 279 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 7: some controversy, like Lauren Hill I think was supposed to 280 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 7: play and she didn't come out, of course, But they 281 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 7: usually have like the biggest names and that's that is 282 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 7: the biggest one on Saturday night, but it's every single 283 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 7: night Thursday. They I mean, they have them every night 284 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 7: right now, Like they're smaller, but like the shut Canal 285 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 7: Street down, shut the town down parades, they're just going 286 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 7: on non stop, so it's not easy to get around. 287 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 8: M M. 288 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 6: It's a lot of fun though. 289 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 5: That's why I think that the Pittsburgh, say Patty's Day 290 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 5: Parade needs to take a queue from what they do 291 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 5: down there and let themselves have a little bit more 292 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 5: fun with the parade. We already get a lot of 293 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 5: people that show up, but they don't let you throw 294 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 5: beads or anything off of the trucks, Like it has 295 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 5: to just be a parade where everyone waves.

The Raiders 398 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 12: actually made the playoffs in twenty twenty one. They're combined 399 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 12: twenty one and forty seven, since they'll be picking first 400 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 12: overall in April, their third top ten selection in. 401 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: The last four NFL drafts. 402 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 12: Still think losing is a perceived, guaranteed path to winning 403 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 12: is a good idea. Meanwhile, in Cleveland, the Browns hire 404 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 12: of Todd Monkin as head coach has facilitated the departure 405 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 12: of Jim Schwartz as the defensive coordinator. Monkin is the 406 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 12: browns thirteenth head coach, interim or otherwise.

Pirates 418 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 12: fans were begging for another bat last season. The Bucks 419 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 12: have responded by adding three this offseason in the wake 420 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 12: of Marcel Ozuna, following. 421 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: Ryan O'Hearn and Brandon Loud of Pittsburgh. 422 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 12: Ozuna's arriving with baggage beyond a precipitous dip in home 423 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 12: runs a RBI last season. That baggage includes a twenty 424 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 12: game suspension issued in twenty twenty one for violating Major 425 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 12: League Baseballs Joint Domestic Violence, sexual Assault, and Child Abuse 426 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 12: Policy and a subsequent dui charge.

Azuna is an upgrade in the middle of 431 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 12: the lineup. He just might not be a candidate to 432 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 12: become the Bucks nominee for this Season's where Berto. 433 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 7: I'm down on that man once again.

I love sports too, but the whole 477 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 7: country should come together and agree that no, we're not 478 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 7: doing that. 479 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 6: No city's going to do that. 480 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 2: That'll be easily achieved, and the whole country to come together. 481 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 6: I think I can do it. 482 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 7: I think this is the one subject I mean that 483 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 7: would unify everybody the owner. 484 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 6: Once we get that up, won't take very long. 485 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 12: Like, I don't know, Hey, Dick Lebou went on the 486 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 12: air WMBS radio with George Vombenko. The interview was transcribed 487 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 12: by Steller Nation dot Com and Lebau had this to 488 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 12: say about the Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy. Quote, I think 489 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 12: he's an excellent coach. He's had a lot of good success, 490 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 12: a lot of good experience. That first or second year 491 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 12: on the job, you're probably not going to be as 492 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 12: good as if you've been on it for twenty years. 493 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 12: And I think that McCarthy certainly has the experience and 494 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 12: the track. 495 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 2: Record to know what to do. 496 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 12: It's not a nurse shattering statement, but Dick Lebowe, Hall 497 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 12: of Famer, one of the most beloved figures in Steelers history, 498 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 12: and he likes Mike Lebau also is not down on 499 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 12: what the Steelers have to work with as the McCarthy 500 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 12: eraic commences. 501 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 8: Quote. 502 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 12: I also think that the Steelers roster is pretty strong. 503 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 12: Like most NFL teams, a couple of players in the 504 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 12: right area can make a whole lot of difference. And 505 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 12: that is a profound statement. It seems simple on the surface, 506 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 12: but they're all right. 507 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 7: Give me three places where they need to have new 508 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 7: players to make the profound difference. 509 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: Wide receiver, D back and O line. 510 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 6: Inside linebacker. Are you okay with everything? 511 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 2: Simming?

They did a great job. 605 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 8: I thought Sean Smith did a really good job. And 606 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 8: you know, they got the things they needed to get 607 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 8: and that's a celebration for the strikes always. 608 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 12: Do you know, procedural question for you This might be obvious, 609 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 12: maybe I just don't get it. 610 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 2: But the Cooper Cup. 611 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 12: Play early in the game where it looked like he 612 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 12: was out didn't catch the ball, but they called it 613 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 12: a catch and then the Hawks are running running up 614 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 12: to the line to try to get the playoff. What 615 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 12: is the juxtaposition of replay assist versus coaches challenge, Like 616 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 12: does replay assist look at that and should they have 617 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 12: buzzed in and say, guys, that wasn't a catch or 618 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 12: do you leave that up to the other teams coaching 619 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 12: staff to challenge it? 620 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 8: You know, like those are great questions, and as we 621 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 8: continue to add more you know, replay assist and when 622 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 8: are they buzzing down or are they buzzing down? Or dude, 623 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 8: that looks obvious, right, or all of those things. I 624 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 8: think that's some of the off season discussion. As I 625 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 8: it appears after listening to the commissioner, they'll be adding 626 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 8: some more tech in some pet places or at least 627 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 8: discussing it. I think that's the dance right now. Look 628 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 8: like the boundaries or the procedure for replay assists compared 629 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 8: to coach challenges. If we look at the first kind 630 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 8: of replay or see the first play, is there a 631 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 8: little smoke? Yeah, But in order for me to get 632 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 8: down that rabbit hole to say I can assist, it 633 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 8: almost has to show up on that first replay, like, look, 634 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 8: this is pretty obvious. Let's shut it down and fix it. 635 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: And therein lies another. 636 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 8: Level of subjectivity to all of us that are looking going, 637 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 8: he's not possessing that football as he's toetopping are they. 638 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: Going to assist or not? 639 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 8: And then really to think about it from the team's end, 640 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 8: it's that pause moment, right the offense is smart enough 641 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 8: that they didn't sub they're running no huddle, so there's 642 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 8: no matching, there's no shut down in between letting the 643 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 8: defense matchup, and now you have these three four five 644 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 8: seconds possibly to make a decision from a coach, first, 645 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 8: first I guess would be are they going to assist 646 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 8: within these seconds? Doesn't appear, so it's not as imminent 647 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 8: Do I pull the trigger? 648 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: Right? 649 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 8: And Uh, at that point in the game, early timeouts 650 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 8: are still really precious. Uh do you do? 651 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: You risk it? 652 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 8: Right? I mean, so there's a there's there's a lot 653 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 8: of little tentacles to those types of things, and and 654 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 8: I think as we continue to help from above, uh 655 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 8: interject kind of like the college game does. I think 656 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 8: those are the things that teams are gonna have to 657 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 8: continue tously work out and and also the NFL. You know, 658 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 8: but I thought it was incomplete, as you guys said, right, 659 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 8: But I don't know that it was a layup in 660 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 8: complete paths right. 661 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: It was one that like we got to. 662 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 8: Look at this three times four times? That becomes coach 663 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 8: team challenge. 664 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 5: Hey, Geen, the catch definitely there's a gray area there, 665 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 5: but the off sides, isn't that what reflaces is supposed 666 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 5: to catch that punt. The punt and you're talking about, yes, 667 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 5: that would given. 668 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, Joey. 669 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 8: I listen to me the play of kind of the game, 670 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 8: at least up to that point, especially understanding like the 671 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 8: first half was. You know, some people say, look, it's 672 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 8: just ugly footballer. You know, even I kind of said. 673 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: Kind of vanilla. 674 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 8: But you felt in that game like no team was 675 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 8: really in a position that they were going to start 676 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 8: taking chances, yet their defenses were dominating, So we're going 677 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 8: to just play the field position chess matches. We continue 678 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 8: to roll through this New England was really happy that, 679 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 8: even in the situations that weren't working to their advantage, 680 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 8: they were only giving up three. But now you start 681 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 8: the second half, as you said, and it was fourth 682 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 8: and four. I think they might have been on their 683 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 8: own forty ish right yard line. A guy kind of 684 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 8: dies in there, he's in the neutral zone. They snapped 685 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 8: the football replay can't get involved in that play. It's 686 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 8: not a reviewable aspect or a rule that they can 687 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 8: review right now. But I thought, personally again hindsight, a 688 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 8: first down right there, just extending a drive almost for 689 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 8: two minutes or three minutes, maybe you chunk one more 690 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 8: first down you're in field goal range. I thought that 691 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 8: would have been a really big shift in the game. 692 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 8: And I really thought that was a play that you 693 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 8: kind of you got to get that play right. And 694 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 8: really from an officiating end, look, when you're punting a 695 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 8: football between the forties, the chances of any team setting 696 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 8: up a returner nil right, because we're coughing corner in 697 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 8: this thing. So as an official on the line of 698 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 8: scrimmage or antenna should be much higher that the neutral zone, 699 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 8: and the potential of a rush to the punter a 700 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 8: block is much higher. So I think I'd be screwed 701 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,239 Speaker 8: in or should be screwed in more as a lot 702 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 8: of scrimmage official in that play, maybe as opposed to 703 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 8: us kicking from our own ten fifteen right where we're 704 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 8: setting the return up. But I thought that was a 705 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 8: big miss. 706 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 7: I really did the altercation on the Patriot sideline that 707 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 7: occurred also and the resulted in no call. Did you 708 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 7: interpret that as an official not wanting to make that 709 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 7: big of a call in a Super Bowl or did 710 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 7: he just miss what was obvious to everybody else? 711 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 8: You know, I think that what they needed to do 712 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 8: was get that first hit, which was the second player, 713 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 8: I don't think it was job was the second player 714 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 8: that blasted the Patriot player out of bounds after the play. 715 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: Kind of ended. 716 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 8: And then that followed with what now became kind of 717 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 8: two guys, one grabbing the face mask and motion him, 718 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 8: the other one hitting him in the head, and then 719 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 8: that official karda that was in the midst of that. 720 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 8: You do lose your sense in a second there from 721 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 8: the human standpoint, like, now I've got two players that 722 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 8: are tied up doing both of them doing things that 723 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 8: would offer set Let's just break this thing up and 724 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 8: please fellows, like get out of here, like we don't 725 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 8: want to do this right now. But I thought they 726 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 8: could have should have gotten the first hit out of bounds. 727 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 8: Now let's break up the scrum that ensued because of 728 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 8: that hit, and then you could penalize a team, which 729 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 8: is always a deter and the NFL philosophy always has 730 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 8: been I think rightly, so get the instigator, get the 731 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 8: first one. What happens after unless it's extended or delayed 732 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 8: and has to create another foul. But I think he 733 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 8: missed the second piece of it more than likely because 734 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 8: he was in between bodies, you know, trying to break 735 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 8: up what was going to be a UFC fight real quick, 736 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 8: you know, right after that. But I thought they should 737 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 8: have got that first hit out of Bounce for sure. 738 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 2: Gene. 739 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 5: Do you think with all of the controversy this year, 740 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 5: which I think social media amplified it quite a bit, obviously, 741 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 5: but that's just going to continue to increase. Well, the NFL, ever, 742 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 5: for as much money as they generate, finally go to 743 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 5: full time officiating and paying these guys year round something 744 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 5: that will make it worth them losing whatever high compensation 745 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 5: they get from other jobs. It would be worth them 746 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 5: leaving that to become full. 747 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 7: Time officials because it seems to me that so much 748 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 7: of what is happening could be alleviated by guys doing 749 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 7: year round reps of these plays and having an understanding. 750 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 7: As borings and monotonous as that could be, I would 751 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 7: imagine it would pay big dividends in terms of the 752 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 7: product that would be put out on the fields. 753 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 5: The expedients what expensive and better? Yeah, well I know, 754 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 5: but well. 755 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 8: And like you got it when you think about the 756 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 8: process of that too, right, Like you've got to have 757 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 8: live action plays you just can't sit in a film 758 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 8: room and say, look, when this happens. I know when 759 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 8: that happens, and it looks great on film, it looks 760 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 8: rather easy. Even on my couch, it looks easy. But 761 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 8: when you're down, it's impossible to replicate that live speed, 762 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 8: reactionary fraction of a second where I have to make 763 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 8: that decision. There's not enough football, quite honestly, like twelve 764 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 8: months out of the year to continuously get that in game, 765 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 8: live action rep right now. Look, NFL Europe was a godsend, 766 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 8: I believe. I know in my career it was because 767 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 8: it allowed me to start transitioning from college football. We 768 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 8: were playing in the spring, we were getting that activity. 769 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 8: The NFL had a great platform to be able to 770 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 8: be scrubbing the next candidates. But I'm going to tell you, guys, 771 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 8: and this is not you know, I'm not exaggerating. When 772 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 8: the NFL season started, it was twenty to thirty hours 773 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 8: for me a week during the season of looking at 774 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 8: the teams I was going to have within the next 775 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 8: week and then possibly getting some time to look at 776 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 8: the future game two weeks from then. You're scrubbing playlists, 777 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 8: you're looking at team tendencies, individual matchups that are going 778 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 8: to come every Sunday. There's a lot of zoom work 779 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 8: that's taken place Monday through Friday. It's one of the 780 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 8: best kept secrets in the league of how much the 781 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 8: officials really do do in their you know, five o'clock 782 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,879 Speaker 8: in the evening to nine thirty at night, an hour 783 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 8: and a half together on the crew zoom on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 784 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 8: prepping you know, three hour meetings on Saturday. So I 785 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 8: know I've put a lot of time, and quite frankly, 786 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 8: I felt for me from a repetition see play thing. 787 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 8: I thought, that's why me working four or five basketball 788 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 8: games during the week of a regular season in the 789 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 8: NFL was given me an opportunity from a human element 790 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 8: to be dissecting athletes and plays that are happening in 791 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 8: quick repetition and making decisions on is that enough for 792 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 8: a fowl in basketball? 793 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: Right? 794 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 8: I mean, I know it's a different sport, but players 795 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 8: going up, you know, driving to the hoop. Is that 796 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 8: is he walling up? Is he displacing him? Is he 797 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 8: restricting him? I was getting full reps to make those decisions. 798 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 8: In my mind, a different sport, but still the same 799 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 8: kind of process. So I thought that helped me. And 800 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 8: then if you really think about full time, when are 801 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 8: you going to declare? What age do you want to declare? 802 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 8: I want to be an NFL ref. You know, what 803 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 8: am I going to do at twenty six years old? 804 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 8: Tell my you know, new wife and one year old 805 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 8: that this is my aspiration? And then I get a 806 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,439 Speaker 8: shot at thirty three and I blow my knee out 807 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 8: and now I'm middle aged with really no background here, like, 808 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 8: what am I going to do for the next thirty 809 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 8: five years of my productive life? So it's a it's 810 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 8: a tough element to do it. 811 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: I know when we. 812 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 8: Negotiated and as a union, throughout that process, the OTAs 813 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 8: are stretching. Now there are so much isolation things you 814 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 8: can work on in the off season, and as a union, 815 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 8: you know, I know that the negotiations will look. If 816 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 8: you want to use our people during that period of time, 817 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 8: then quite frankly, you have access to them. Just pay 818 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 8: them for the days that you know, kind of an 819 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 8: a la carte thing, right like, hey them, if you 820 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 8: need them to go to an OTA for four days 821 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 8: and work with five other officials and the trainer and 822 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 8: they do do that, you know, So it's a dance 823 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 8: and I get it. And I always hear like, we 824 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 8: need younger people, these older guys running on the field. 825 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: You need experience is what you need. 826 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 8: You need to see these plays going from the small 827 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 8: college levels to the major college level to build a 828 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 8: decade twelve thirteen, fourteen years of football officiating, to have 829 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 8: at least a bite of a chance to be able 830 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 8: to make it when they crank this thing up on Sunday. 831 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 8: It's really no different than the players. It just kind 832 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 8: of starts your youth. Football starts when you're twenty three 833 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 8: or four if you decide you want to be a 834 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 8: rough and then by the time you're in your mid 835 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 8: to late thirties, if you were fortunate enough to move 836 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 8: up that ladder. Now you have this opportunity to go 837 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 8: to the next level. And quite frankly, no different than 838 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 8: the players. Again, probably five percent of you can handle 839 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 8: this up here. The other ninety five go back down 840 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 8: and work. There's good college games. You're a great college official, 841 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,479 Speaker 8: but this is a different sport at a different level. 842 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 8: So there's a lot to that. It's you know, and 843 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 8: that's kind of where I'm at. Not a proponent of it, 844 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 8: and youth is not the answers.
