Lagerias Sneed won two Super 25 00:01:28,788 --> 00:01:31,548 Speaker 3: Bowls with the Chiefs, but the NFL is a businessman, 26 00:01:31,748 --> 00:01:34,228 Speaker 3: and Kansas City traded the cornerback to the Titans in 27 00:01:34,268 --> 00:01:37,428 Speaker 3: the off season.

They train him. 46 00:02:21,068 --> 00:02:24,228 Speaker 2: Apparently the conversations were never had about retaining his services. 47 00:02:24,548 --> 00:02:28,188 Speaker 3: Very honest reaction to Sneed's divorce from Kansas City. Now 48 00:02:28,228 --> 00:02:30,668 Speaker 3: with the Tennessee Titans, what was your reaction to hearing that. 49 00:02:30,868 --> 00:02:31,668 Speaker 5: I just love that. 50 00:02:32,588 --> 00:02:35,668 Speaker 4: I love the perspective that he gives all of us, 51 00:02:35,708 --> 00:02:38,508 Speaker 4: you know, and the reminder that he gave me. I 52 00:02:38,548 --> 00:02:40,588 Speaker 4: was often told while I was playing, it's not the 53 00:02:40,628 --> 00:02:43,468 Speaker 4: tackles that you're going to remember, the catches, the touchdowns. 54 00:02:43,668 --> 00:02:45,788 Speaker 4: It's the memories that you build with your teammates. It's 55 00:02:45,788 --> 00:02:48,428 Speaker 4: the airplane ride after a win, you know. It's the 56 00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:51,948 Speaker 4: London trip we had in twenty seventeen when when we went. 57 00:02:51,868 --> 00:02:52,988 Speaker 5: To go play the Dolphins. 58 00:02:52,988 --> 00:02:56,228 Speaker 4: It's the Christmas party, is the Thursday night defensive dinners. 59 00:02:56,228 --> 00:02:58,868 Speaker 4: It's all of those moments playing Morio Kart in the 60 00:02:58,908 --> 00:03:02,308 Speaker 4: locker room. It's all of those moments that create memories 61 00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:04,988 Speaker 4: with your teammates that you really take take away from 62 00:03:05,028 --> 00:03:06,548 Speaker 4: me and you'll remember for the rest of your life. I 63 00:03:06,548 --> 00:03:09,588 Speaker 4: think here at JMFB, I think everybody can can agree. Yeah, 64 00:03:09,588 --> 00:03:12,388 Speaker 4: we have great takes and we have great conversations at 65 00:03:12,428 --> 00:03:14,948 Speaker 4: the table, but it's also the conversations outside of this 66 00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:17,308 Speaker 4: table that we're going to really remember in Chaish for 67 00:03:17,308 --> 00:03:19,188 Speaker 4: the rest of our life. So I'm so grateful that 68 00:03:19,268 --> 00:03:22,788 Speaker 4: sneed you know, gave that perspective because it reminded me 69 00:03:23,108 --> 00:03:25,748 Speaker 4: about what truly matters is the relationships that we make 70 00:03:25,788 --> 00:03:27,028 Speaker 4: with the ones we love. 71 00:03:27,268 --> 00:03:30,028 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean, relationship is always big. 72 00:03:30,068 --> 00:03:33,468 Speaker 7: You can hear that from every player. And what touched 73 00:03:33,548 --> 00:03:35,628 Speaker 7: me about this is, you know, after he signed nearly 74 00:03:35,748 --> 00:03:38,628 Speaker 7: eighty million dollars, it's like he was still kind of 75 00:03:38,668 --> 00:03:40,908 Speaker 7: hurt by that, and it's kind of what you were saying, 76 00:03:40,988 --> 00:03:43,308 Speaker 7: is that, like the emotions the relationship. I think people 77 00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:47,108 Speaker 7: look at players and they forget how relational we are. 78 00:03:47,148 --> 00:03:50,508 Speaker 7: This is a guy that started off as a fourth rounder, 79 00:03:50,868 --> 00:03:53,828 Speaker 7: you know, starters backup, worked his way up, became a 80 00:03:53,908 --> 00:03:57,548 Speaker 7: dominant force for the Kansas City Chiefs and that secondary group, 81 00:03:57,828 --> 00:04:00,468 Speaker 7: and he grew there and so you're not just removing 82 00:04:00,548 --> 00:04:02,868 Speaker 7: him and he's just going off like he's leaving his brothers, 83 00:04:02,908 --> 00:04:05,988 Speaker 7: he's leaving his family, and it's like, why couldn't they 84 00:04:05,988 --> 00:04:08,708 Speaker 7: make that work? And I think fans forget like players 85 00:04:08,708 --> 00:04:10,948 Speaker 7: are tied into the teams as well, and they're tied 86 00:04:10,948 --> 00:04:13,148 Speaker 7: into teams because they're tied into the relationship, and so 87 00:04:13,228 --> 00:04:15,628 Speaker 7: the relationship matters. So when a player just goes off 88 00:04:15,668 --> 00:04:17,508 Speaker 7: like that. People like, well, you got paid, you got 89 00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:20,828 Speaker 7: all that money. It's deeper than the money, right, you 90 00:04:20,868 --> 00:04:22,908 Speaker 7: get paid for your services and what you do, but 91 00:04:22,948 --> 00:04:25,828 Speaker 7: the relationships is what kind of keeps you there. So yeah, 92 00:04:25,868 --> 00:04:27,348 Speaker 7: watching that just made me. I was like, oh man, 93 00:04:27,388 --> 00:04:29,668 Speaker 7: I could totally feel made me sad, Like, oh man, 94 00:04:29,708 --> 00:04:30,828 Speaker 7: he left his guys behind it. 95 00:04:31,388 --> 00:04:31,988 Speaker 5: If you know me. 96 00:04:32,228 --> 00:04:34,548 Speaker 4: Remember, I don't know if anybody remembers this, but when 97 00:04:34,588 --> 00:04:37,988 Speaker 4: Brian Dawkins they didn't return to the Eagles and he 98 00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:41,188 Speaker 4: had to go to the Broncos and they had him 99 00:04:41,348 --> 00:04:44,788 Speaker 4: on the news, they had him on the phone or something, 100 00:04:44,828 --> 00:04:47,188 Speaker 4: and he had to end the interview because he just 101 00:04:47,348 --> 00:04:49,868 Speaker 4: kept crying. And that's Brian Dawkins. I just mentioned, one 102 00:04:49,908 --> 00:04:52,388 Speaker 4: of the most ferocious safeties in our time. Like, that's 103 00:04:52,468 --> 00:04:55,548 Speaker 4: just how much it means to a player to put 104 00:04:55,588 --> 00:04:57,548 Speaker 4: so much into a team, to put so much into 105 00:04:57,588 --> 00:04:58,268 Speaker 4: his teammates. 106 00:04:58,468 --> 00:05:00,748 Speaker 7: And not only that, it's the suffering. It's the suffering 107 00:05:00,788 --> 00:05:03,148 Speaker 7: that you do together. Yeah, like those training camps, all 108 00:05:03,188 --> 00:05:05,068 Speaker 7: of those things that you're doing to get they're from 109 00:05:05,108 --> 00:05:08,108 Speaker 7: eating together, flying together. But the suffering that you do, 110 00:05:08,268 --> 00:05:10,988 Speaker 7: there's nothing more like being a married guy, Like, there's 111 00:05:11,028 --> 00:05:13,668 Speaker 7: nothing more that when you go through the tough times 112 00:05:13,668 --> 00:05:15,908 Speaker 7: that bonds you more. They even more so than the 113 00:05:15,908 --> 00:05:16,268 Speaker 7: good time. 114 00:05:16,428 --> 00:05:16,708 Speaker 5: Amen. 115 00:05:17,068 --> 00:05:19,228 Speaker 8: But got you know this is the price of success. 116 00:05:19,388 --> 00:05:21,748 Speaker 8: This is the bloodshed of dynasty. You know you got 117 00:05:21,828 --> 00:05:23,948 Speaker 8: you got a half billion dollar quarterback for the Chiefs, 118 00:05:24,108 --> 00:05:26,988 Speaker 8: you got Kelsey, you paid Chris Jones, like pieces have 119 00:05:27,068 --> 00:05:27,388 Speaker 8: to go. 120 00:05:27,668 --> 00:05:28,748 Speaker 2: This is how it happens. 121 00:05:28,908 --> 00:05:31,548 Speaker 9: How many times somebody on the Patriots who won rings 122 00:05:31,548 --> 00:05:33,028 Speaker 9: with them, it's just like, we just. 123 00:05:32,988 --> 00:05:34,668 Speaker 2: Gotta go, we gotta get beyond this. 124 00:05:35,308 --> 00:05:38,348 Speaker 9: And listen, Lagarius Sneid is a great dude, a great player, 125 00:05:38,468 --> 00:05:41,068 Speaker 9: a massive part of what they did. He got a 126 00:05:41,068 --> 00:05:42,908 Speaker 9: ton of money, He's got a couple of Super Bowl rings. 127 00:05:42,908 --> 00:05:45,028 Speaker 9: He's gonna make some new friends in Tennessee really fast. 128 00:05:45,028 --> 00:05:47,108 Speaker 2: It's I know he's mad right now. It's not as 129 00:05:47,188 --> 00:05:48,108 Speaker 2: bad as it seems. 130 00:05:48,268 --> 00:05:51,028 Speaker 9: But I do think it's interesting because you guys know this, 131 00:05:51,308 --> 00:05:52,388 Speaker 9: I to test. 132 00:05:52,148 --> 00:05:53,188 Speaker 2: The term revenge game. 133 00:05:53,188 --> 00:05:55,508 Speaker 9: I think it's mostly a manufactured term, and I think 134 00:05:55,828 --> 00:05:58,988 Speaker 9: most of the time when players leave teams, they understand 135 00:05:58,988 --> 00:06:02,708 Speaker 9: it's a business, it's transactional, there's really nothing personal involved. 136 00:06:02,988 --> 00:06:05,068 Speaker 9: I think, so this is it's one of those where 137 00:06:05,068 --> 00:06:08,948 Speaker 9: he's genuinely hurt, genuinely angry and ready to set up 138 00:06:08,948 --> 00:06:11,348 Speaker 9: shop on a podcast and air it out before the 139 00:06:11,428 --> 00:06:12,268 Speaker 9: season starts. 140 00:06:12,548 --> 00:06:13,788 Speaker 2: So I would keep an eye on that. 141 00:06:13,828 --> 00:06:15,388 Speaker 9: This just needs to be one of the true times 142 00:06:15,388 --> 00:06:18,228 Speaker 9: that someone's actually really no, it's not a business. This 143 00:06:18,348 --> 00:06:20,948 Speaker 9: does feel personal and he's a great player. But I 144 00:06:20,948 --> 00:06:23,028 Speaker 9: know this feels like a sad moment. There is nothing 145 00:06:23,108 --> 00:06:24,948 Speaker 9: sad about where Lagarius need is right now. I know 146 00:06:24,948 --> 00:06:26,868 Speaker 9: he left the Chiefs, he did work there, he went 147 00:06:27,028 --> 00:06:29,148 Speaker 9: rings there, he's got money, he's got a great career 148 00:06:29,148 --> 00:06:29,708 Speaker 9: in front of him. 149 00:06:29,788 --> 00:06:31,348 Speaker 2: This is not some tragedy. It'll be all right. 150 00:06:31,468 --> 00:06:33,028 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I will say one thing. You just 151 00:06:33,068 --> 00:06:36,148 Speaker 7: said something, Kyle that made me think of a relationship 152 00:06:36,148 --> 00:06:38,508 Speaker 7: conversation I had so when I was with the Raiders, 153 00:06:39,028 --> 00:06:41,588 Speaker 7: the quarterback then was Rich Gannon, and we used to 154 00:06:41,628 --> 00:06:43,428 Speaker 7: have a nickname for him, and I shared this with 155 00:06:43,508 --> 00:06:45,308 Speaker 7: him before, but we used to have a nickname behind 156 00:06:45,308 --> 00:06:47,028 Speaker 7: his back, you know, the young guys. We used to 157 00:06:47,108 --> 00:06:49,628 Speaker 7: call him Dick Gannon, like Dick is short for rich. 158 00:06:49,788 --> 00:06:51,708 Speaker 7: This was his nickname. This was I mean, but as 159 00:06:51,748 --> 00:06:53,468 Speaker 7: in you know, it was a kind of a double. 160 00:06:53,388 --> 00:06:55,028 Speaker 2: Entendre and you said this to him. 161 00:06:55,188 --> 00:06:56,668 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I've said this to him. I called him 162 00:06:56,748 --> 00:06:59,468 Speaker 7: years later after after we were done, you know, I 163 00:06:59,508 --> 00:07:02,348 Speaker 7: reached out to him and he says, Ockbar. The reason 164 00:07:02,428 --> 00:07:05,588 Speaker 7: why I was kind of short that way because the 165 00:07:05,628 --> 00:07:09,228 Speaker 7: relationships that I've had over the years in my career, 166 00:07:09,268 --> 00:07:11,108 Speaker 7: and at this time he was like sixteen seventeen years 167 00:07:11,108 --> 00:07:14,148 Speaker 7: in his career. He says, I've seen guys come and go, 168 00:07:14,268 --> 00:07:16,148 Speaker 7: you get attached, and then they remove them and you 169 00:07:16,348 --> 00:07:18,388 Speaker 7: go through this period where you go, you know what, 170 00:07:18,588 --> 00:07:21,108 Speaker 7: I'm just not going to develop those type of relationships anymore. 171 00:07:21,148 --> 00:07:23,188 Speaker 7: I'm going to be about business and that's it. And 172 00:07:23,228 --> 00:07:26,068 Speaker 7: so for Lagerious, he may walk into this locker room 173 00:07:26,068 --> 00:07:28,388 Speaker 7: where other guys that've seen people come and go, he 174 00:07:28,508 --> 00:07:31,028 Speaker 7: just got snatched. He may not want to attach. 175 00:07:30,668 --> 00:07:31,308 Speaker 2: To another team. 176 00:07:31,348 --> 00:07:33,548 Speaker 7: So that's a real thing that people go through, where 177 00:07:33,588 --> 00:07:35,908 Speaker 7: players go through where they may not want to attach 178 00:07:36,348 --> 00:07:38,588 Speaker 7: to the next teammates. So that's a real thing. 179 00:07:38,668 --> 00:07:41,228 Speaker 3: Lagerias seems like a lover though, so he might he 180 00:07:41,308 --> 00:07:43,788 Speaker 3: might walk into that Titans locker room, you know, just 181 00:07:43,868 --> 00:07:46,268 Speaker 3: be like, I want to hug everybody. Bring it in. 182 00:07:47,428 --> 00:07:49,308 Speaker 3: There's a lot of emotion behind that young man. He 183 00:07:49,428 --> 00:07:52,908 Speaker 3: was part of the secondary, though that only allowed nineteen 184 00:07:53,028 --> 00:07:56,188 Speaker 3: touchdowns in the league, passing touchdowns in the league last season, 185 00:07:56,228 --> 00:08:00,188 Speaker 3: which was second best. The secondary might suffer without Lageriu's need. Kyle, 186 00:08:00,548 --> 00:08:02,588 Speaker 3: we all know the Chiefs are going for the three peats. 187 00:08:02,868 --> 00:08:06,188 Speaker 3: Does this weakness now for the Chiefs or do they 188 00:08:06,268 --> 00:08:09,348 Speaker 3: just kind of bolster from underneath and they will be 189 00:08:09,348 --> 00:08:09,988 Speaker 3: better than ever? 190 00:08:10,148 --> 00:08:10,628 Speaker 2: What I like. 191 00:08:10,588 --> 00:08:13,148 Speaker 9: About that, rich Gannon nickname is the Subtleteam. You're not 192 00:08:13,188 --> 00:08:16,188 Speaker 9: really sure what it means. It's so mysterious. So I 193 00:08:16,268 --> 00:08:21,148 Speaker 9: like a subtle nickname. Wow, listen, the Chief's weakness. We'll 194 00:08:21,148 --> 00:08:22,468 Speaker 9: do this. We did it last year with it the 195 00:08:22,548 --> 00:08:25,068 Speaker 9: year before. We'll do it next year. Sure, the secondary 196 00:08:25,148 --> 00:08:27,908 Speaker 9: might be exposed. The wide receivers always seem to be 197 00:08:28,028 --> 00:08:32,668 Speaker 9: this mystery post Tyreek fifteen and three in the playoffs, 198 00:08:33,068 --> 00:08:35,148 Speaker 9: fifteen and three in the playoff. They find a way, 199 00:08:35,428 --> 00:08:37,508 Speaker 9: they find out. I've said this again. Last year was 200 00:08:37,548 --> 00:08:40,348 Speaker 9: the bad Chiefs team. That was not a great Chiefs 201 00:08:40,348 --> 00:08:41,828 Speaker 9: team in the context of this run. 202 00:08:41,868 --> 00:08:42,188 Speaker 2: It wasn't. 203 00:08:42,348 --> 00:08:45,028 Speaker 9: They got destroyed on Christmas by the Raiders. They had 204 00:08:45,028 --> 00:08:47,268 Speaker 9: some other losses that were not great and in their 205 00:08:47,308 --> 00:08:50,308 Speaker 9: bad year, they're like reload year they won the Super Bowl. 206 00:08:50,428 --> 00:08:52,948 Speaker 2: So the only thing that is their weakness. And when 207 00:08:52,948 --> 00:08:54,788 Speaker 2: this is all said and done, look, you hate to 208 00:08:54,828 --> 00:08:56,388 Speaker 2: say it a cataclysmic. 209 00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:57,788 Speaker 9: Injury, but we already had Mahomes get injured in the 210 00:08:57,788 --> 00:08:59,628 Speaker 9: playoffs against Jacksonville a couple of years ago when he 211 00:08:59,628 --> 00:09:00,188 Speaker 9: fought through it. 212 00:09:00,468 --> 00:09:01,748 Speaker 2: Weird officiating call, but. 213 00:09:01,748 --> 00:09:03,308 Speaker 9: If you listen to fans, they don't have any of 214 00:09:03,308 --> 00:09:05,508 Speaker 9: those on the Chiefs. It's going to take some sort 215 00:09:05,508 --> 00:09:08,548 Speaker 9: of weird act of God, a bad injury or a 216 00:09:08,588 --> 00:09:10,748 Speaker 9: Brady in retirement because he's the only guy who seems 217 00:09:10,788 --> 00:09:12,788 Speaker 9: to be able to be Mahomes other than burrough That's 218 00:09:12,788 --> 00:09:13,428 Speaker 9: my recipe. 219 00:09:13,588 --> 00:09:17,068 Speaker 3: I know we have to it's an obligation, but still 220 00:09:17,108 --> 00:09:19,788 Speaker 3: hard to identify a potential weakness for the Chiefs. Never 221 00:09:19,828 --> 00:09:22,508 Speaker 3: a weakness in our TV show is Mike Garrofolo, Good 222 00:09:22,548 --> 00:09:25,268 Speaker 3: morning to you, Mike g What are we checking in 223 00:09:25,308 --> 00:09:27,788 Speaker 3: on in terms of contracts that as we get to 224 00:09:27,828 --> 00:09:30,508 Speaker 3: the end of August, A lot of teams hoping some 225 00:09:30,588 --> 00:09:31,468 Speaker 3: things pan out. 226 00:09:31,748 --> 00:09:33,908 Speaker 10: We talked about Ceedee Lamb getting done that We're watching 227 00:09:33,988 --> 00:09:36,668 Speaker 10: Jamar Chase. We're also watching Brandon Ayuk and Jamie hurt All. 228 00:09:36,748 --> 00:09:38,708 Speaker 10: I can't tell you how many times I thought this 229 00:09:38,788 --> 00:09:41,148 Speaker 10: Iyuk thing was going to be resolved one way or another, 230 00:09:41,188 --> 00:09:43,428 Speaker 10: whether it was a trade or a contract extension, and 231 00:09:43,468 --> 00:09:46,508 Speaker 10: we are still stuck in the mud here. On Brandon Ayuk, 232 00:09:46,548 --> 00:09:49,428 Speaker 10: who is on the roster because he reported to training camp. 233 00:09:49,428 --> 00:09:50,908 Speaker 10: Trent Williams, so I'll get to you in a second, 234 00:09:51,028 --> 00:09:54,308 Speaker 10: is not counting against the roster. So at this point, 235 00:09:54,508 --> 00:09:56,988 Speaker 10: they get into the practice schedule this week and they're 236 00:09:56,988 --> 00:09:59,708 Speaker 10: going to practice this afternoon, and sort of the understanding 237 00:09:59,788 --> 00:10:01,628 Speaker 10: was that at this point he would practice, So we're 238 00:10:01,628 --> 00:10:03,308 Speaker 10: going to have to see if he's on the field 239 00:10:03,348 --> 00:10:06,348 Speaker 10: this afternoon with the San Francisco forty nine ers. But again, 240 00:10:06,468 --> 00:10:10,748 Speaker 10: no closer to an extension or a trade there than 241 00:10:10,748 --> 00:10:13,508 Speaker 10: we were the last couple of weeks. On to Trent Williams, 242 00:10:13,548 --> 00:10:16,188 Speaker 10: who seems like he is intent on proving his point 243 00:10:16,428 --> 00:10:19,148 Speaker 10: that he deserves more guaranteed money and a raise on 244 00:10:19,188 --> 00:10:22,028 Speaker 10: that contract that expected to make around twenty million dollars 245 00:10:22,028 --> 00:10:24,148 Speaker 10: this upcoming season. Perhaps you will carry that into the 246 00:10:24,188 --> 00:10:27,708 Speaker 10: regular season. Then there's Hassan Reddick, whom Robert Sala the 247 00:10:27,788 --> 00:10:30,308 Speaker 10: Jets coach still held out a little bit of hope 248 00:10:30,308 --> 00:10:32,468 Speaker 10: that something could be resolved before the start of the 249 00:10:32,508 --> 00:10:35,868 Speaker 10: regular season, but Reddick and the Jets both seem to 250 00:10:35,868 --> 00:10:38,028 Speaker 10: be dug in. The Jets don't want to negotiate with 251 00:10:38,108 --> 00:10:40,468 Speaker 10: Reddick until he shows back up, and Reddick doesn't seem 252 00:10:40,468 --> 00:10:43,108 Speaker 10: like he wants to show up until he gets an adjustment, 253 00:10:43,148 --> 00:10:45,588 Speaker 10: so there is a standoff there. Sala asked if he 254 00:10:45,588 --> 00:10:48,428 Speaker 10: will reach out to Reddick yesterday by the media, he said. 255 00:10:48,228 --> 00:10:51,148 Speaker 2: No, He's focused on the players who are there. 256 00:10:51,348 --> 00:10:56,028 Speaker 10: So no resolution in the near future scene for Hassan 257 00:10:56,108 --> 00:10:56,748 Speaker 10: Reddick gammage. 258 00:10:57,348 --> 00:11:01,188 Speaker 3: That is mind boggling to me, really, like I was hoping, 259 00:11:01,228 --> 00:11:02,588 Speaker 3: actually at the very end of that you were going 260 00:11:02,628 --> 00:11:04,908 Speaker 3: to say and I just heard that there has been 261 00:11:04,948 --> 00:11:07,228 Speaker 3: a development. He's in it, But no, we just still 262 00:11:07,268 --> 00:11:10,708 Speaker 3: sit here. And the fact that this massive piece potentially 263 00:11:10,788 --> 00:11:13,988 Speaker 3: of an already really good Jets defense continues to not 264 00:11:14,028 --> 00:11:15,628 Speaker 3: want to be a part of it is shocking to me. 265 00:11:15,628 --> 00:11:17,548 Speaker 3: If I'm a son Reddick, I want to show up 266 00:11:17,548 --> 00:11:19,148 Speaker 3: and be a part of what the Jets are building. 267 00:11:19,148 --> 00:11:22,348 Speaker 3: Mike Garafalo, thank you very much. Very curious to see 268 00:11:22,388 --> 00:11:24,948 Speaker 3: how this unfolds, but We are not very far away 269 00:11:24,988 --> 00:11:27,268 Speaker 3: from week one, but before you get to the new season, 270 00:11:27,388 --> 00:11:29,988 Speaker 3: perhaps you want to finish up your summer reading list. 271 00:11:30,228 --> 00:11:32,348 Speaker 3: There was a book that came out by Ian O'Connor 272 00:11:32,508 --> 00:11:34,908 Speaker 3: about that man right there. He didn't write it with him, 273 00:11:34,948 --> 00:11:37,068 Speaker 3: he didn't ask Ian O'Connor to write it, but it's 274 00:11:37,108 --> 00:11:39,268 Speaker 3: out there. Rogers sat down with the author, and our 275 00:11:39,388 --> 00:11:41,868 Speaker 3: very own Kyle Brand has done a book report on it. 276 00:11:43,068 --> 00:11:45,228 Speaker 9: Renumber when you had to read nineteen eighty four over 277 00:11:45,268 --> 00:11:47,428 Speaker 9: the summer or Scarlet Letter or something like that and 278 00:11:47,508 --> 00:11:49,468 Speaker 9: come back and I don't want to read the Scarletlet 279 00:11:49,508 --> 00:11:50,148 Speaker 9: over the summer. 280 00:11:50,428 --> 00:11:52,748 Speaker 2: I want to play techno bulls. Well, I did the reading. 281 00:11:52,868 --> 00:11:54,788 Speaker 2: I put in the work book report. 282 00:11:54,908 --> 00:11:56,988 Speaker 9: Next the Aaron Rodgers book goes there. 283 00:11:57,028 --> 00:11:57,948 Speaker 2: We've got it all for. 284 00:11:57,948 --> 00:12:11,268 Speaker 11: You on Good Morning Football, Good Morning. 285 00:12:11,068 --> 00:12:13,348 Speaker 5: Football, Welcome back to Good Morning Football. 286 00:12:13,388 --> 00:12:16,388 Speaker 9: We are I think twelve days away maybe less from 287 00:12:16,428 --> 00:12:19,948 Speaker 9: the Jets going to San Francisco on the opening weekend 288 00:12:19,988 --> 00:12:23,228 Speaker 9: of NFL football on Monday Night Football, and just in time. 289 00:12:23,268 --> 00:12:25,388 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've seen this book drop. 290 00:12:25,748 --> 00:12:28,548 Speaker 9: This is Into the Darkness, The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers, 291 00:12:28,628 --> 00:12:32,468 Speaker 9: by the great Ian O'Connor, catalogs, riders, entire life, things 292 00:12:32,508 --> 00:12:35,668 Speaker 9: you know, things you don't know. His grandfather was a 293 00:12:35,988 --> 00:12:40,388 Speaker 9: World War Two hero who was captured in the unbelievable book. 294 00:12:40,548 --> 00:12:43,108 Speaker 9: All this stuff, the draft, the far of all, on 295 00:12:42,988 --> 00:12:45,188 Speaker 9: and on and on.

I'm proud of how you were able 402 00:18:06,988 --> 00:18:10,628 Speaker 3: to weave the words pros themes, and you had several 403 00:18:10,748 --> 00:18:13,348 Speaker 3: similes in your book report which I had to look 404 00:18:13,388 --> 00:18:15,508 Speaker 3: up the definition of, but I believe you had several 405 00:18:15,548 --> 00:18:17,508 Speaker 3: of those. A few too many times, did you lead 406 00:18:17,548 --> 00:18:19,908 Speaker 3: your paragraph with the word or I think you could 407 00:18:19,948 --> 00:18:22,748 Speaker 3: work on that next time. Lastly, I'm glad that you 408 00:18:22,828 --> 00:18:25,988 Speaker 3: wove your opinion into your book report. I think that's 409 00:18:26,348 --> 00:18:29,708 Speaker 3: a strong way to finish up your conclusion. And what 410 00:18:29,748 --> 00:18:33,068 Speaker 3: could make the diorama even better is if those football 411 00:18:33,108 --> 00:18:34,988 Speaker 3: figurines could move on a popsicle stick. 412 00:18:35,948 --> 00:18:38,588 Speaker 2: I know, I know, wow, you know I actually thought 413 00:18:38,588 --> 00:18:39,228 Speaker 2: of last night. 414 00:18:39,548 --> 00:18:42,668 Speaker 9: We didn't have popsicle sticks, but we had popsicles, and like, guys, 415 00:18:42,668 --> 00:18:44,508 Speaker 9: can we just take down some popsicles so I can 416 00:18:44,548 --> 00:18:45,348 Speaker 9: make this thing work? 417 00:18:45,388 --> 00:18:47,228 Speaker 2: And it was late at night. It was too late 418 00:18:47,268 --> 00:18:47,788 Speaker 2: for popsicles. 419 00:18:47,788 --> 00:18:49,788 Speaker 9: I would have done it myself, but it was it 420 00:18:49,828 --> 00:18:52,308 Speaker 9: got away from me. So I went into our children's 421 00:18:52,548 --> 00:18:54,548 Speaker 9: game closet, you know where they had the board games, 422 00:18:54,588 --> 00:18:56,748 Speaker 9: and I took these little stand up suckers that make 423 00:18:56,788 --> 00:18:59,428 Speaker 9: the figures in the game stand see these things. I 424 00:18:59,468 --> 00:19:01,268 Speaker 9: grabbed a couple of those out of like their their 425 00:19:01,308 --> 00:19:02,948 Speaker 9: game of Life or whatever the heck it was. 426 00:19:02,988 --> 00:19:04,308 Speaker 2: And so I had to make do.

It's 429 00:19:07,668 --> 00:19:09,468 Speaker 4: you know, we're kind of like a little classroom. You know, 430 00:19:09,508 --> 00:19:12,388 Speaker 4: it seems like Kyle, obviously you're you're, you're you're presenting, 431 00:19:12,708 --> 00:19:15,228 Speaker 4: Jamie's taking the teacher role. I'm I'm going to be 432 00:19:15,268 --> 00:19:18,468 Speaker 4: that that classmate that you had, Kyle that there are 433 00:19:18,508 --> 00:19:21,828 Speaker 4: a lot of big words that you had in your 434 00:19:21,868 --> 00:19:22,508 Speaker 4: book report. 435 00:19:22,548 --> 00:19:26,268 Speaker 5: I put schism on there.

Hey. 464 00:20:32,668 --> 00:20:35,228 Speaker 7: But my real question to you, my real question is 465 00:20:35,268 --> 00:20:37,748 Speaker 7: to you, what did you find out about the relationship 466 00:20:37,788 --> 00:20:40,268 Speaker 7: the family. Did you take anything away as far as 467 00:20:40,388 --> 00:20:42,948 Speaker 7: you know, his relationship with his family just. 468 00:20:43,028 --> 00:20:47,628 Speaker 9: Listen, complicated, super private. What I mentioned is I didn't 469 00:20:47,668 --> 00:20:50,188 Speaker 9: know that his parents still go to games and they 470 00:20:50,228 --> 00:20:52,548 Speaker 9: have for years.
