And look like. 177 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 5: I mean a lot of the things that we did 178 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 5: under the g row, where's a lot of straight downhill 179 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 5: kind of a power game, and now you're able to 180 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 5: kind of do some of the things where you can 181 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 5: make people miss because it's not just straight downhill all 182 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 5: the time. I mean, we still have that variation where 183 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 5: we run down here, because you got to do that sometimes, 184 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 5: but we have some mored things where we just spread 185 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 5: out and we're able to zone it out and you 186 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 5: just have more ability to make some guys miss. 187 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 6: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I mean that 188 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 6: fits your game. I mean you're like some from the 189 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 6: time the Monk and God here, something he's talked about 190 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 6: is getting guys in space, and I'm like, you on 191 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 6: this offense are a prime example of that, like get 192 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 6: you the ball in space. And as we saw, you 193 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 6: know Sunday's game, like the spin. 194 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: Move and that stuff like you can make people miss. 195 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 6: How much did you like catching the ball out of 196 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 6: the backfield too. 197 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 5: I've been enjoying it, man, Because we didn't really do 198 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 5: a much Oakham State. It wasn't be really part of 199 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 5: our thing. But being here, man, progressing, just progressing every 200 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 5: year has been fun. And so even when you get 201 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 5: in the game and do that stuff too. It's like, day, 202 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 5: I want to do that a. 203 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 4: Little bit more. Man. 204 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 5: They're like it's fine, Like you don't got to go 205 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 5: run through some two hundred and fifty pounds linebackers all 206 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 5: the time over there in space. So I definitely enjoy it. Man, 207 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 5: is fun, and I want to continue to do that 208 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 5: and be great at that. 209 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 7: How did you handle JK going down? I mean, obviously 210 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 7: it's a brother and you don't want to see the injury, 211 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 7: but you know, you're a guy who's been here for 212 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 7: a while and not had a huge offensive role previous 213 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 7: this obviously because of the injury in part, but you know, 214 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 7: you were making your impact on special teams and that 215 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 7: was a big reason I think why they brought you back. 216 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 7: And while you re signed and now it's like all right, 217 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 7: you know I have my offensive chance. I picked you 218 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 7: up in fantasy football. 219 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: I was justice. So I mean, what was how. 220 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: Did you kind of handle that? 221 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 7: Yeah? 222 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 5: I mean it's definitely tough because you never want to 223 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 5: see a boy go down, and it was really tough 224 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 5: because I know all the hard work that he puts 225 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 5: in to get to the point where you can play 226 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 5: in these games, because I mean, he had series injury 227 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 5: to coming back from that now I had that. 228 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 4: You just hurt for him. 229 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 5: But it's just like anything else in life, man, you 230 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 5: kind of life still goes, you know, and the game 231 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 5: still goes and is the next man up. And I 232 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 5: just wanted to make sure when I'm out there, I'm 233 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 5: doing the right things and making sure there's no drop off, 234 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 5: you know. So that was the biggest thing for me 235 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 5: and Gus too, you know, I feel like we're all 236 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 5: capable of doing great things on the field, and so 237 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 5: when we out there, we just got to show it. 238 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 7: Now, I know. Once real game had to be the 239 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 7: Bengals game beating your brother, and we saw a little 240 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 7: bit and Wired.

I just 374 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 5: need to get mentally like locked in on like let's 375 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 5: just work it to death and it's not gonna hurt you, 376 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 5: you know, like even though it's gonna be sore all 377 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 5: something like, I'm just gonna keep working through it. So 378 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 5: I was doing a thousand jump rope every day, like 379 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,719 Speaker 5: for the whole the entire break that we had after 380 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 5: mini camp, every day, and so when I came back 381 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 5: to training camp, I was good and it was in 382 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 5: good shape, springy, all that stuff. 383 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: So that's awesome. 384 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 6: The last question about that I have is is you 385 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 6: had it was? Was it a mental thing LinkedIn the 386 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 6: mental thing of kind of convincing yourself that it's not 387 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 6: gonna stap on you? 388 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, because once once we got cleared, I got cleared, 389 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 5: and it still didn't feel like one hundred percent at 390 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 5: the time, but it was like, hey, it's not going to. 391 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 4: Stap on you. 392 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 5: It's good, it's strong, it's healthy. And so at that point, 393 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 5: I'm like, well, I just need to work it hard 394 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 5: so it can get back in shape. And uh, get that, 395 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 5: just spring back to it because you just so used 396 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 5: to not really pushing off of it that much. And 397 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 5: then once I just started jump rope every day, it 398 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 5: just became normal. 399 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 4: So I didn't have to think about it after a while. 400 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 7: Interesting last one for me is just what do you 401 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 7: think it's going to feel like playing in an international game? 402 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: Like, is this something. 403 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 7: That that players are like?

I mean, there were 461 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 8: quite a few fans in twenty seventeen. You know, we 462 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 8: were involved with the UK Ravens back then and we 463 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 8: had a pretty big group.

The wire is kind of a common one. 470 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 8: Some people, just like Purple uniforms. I mean, it's always 471 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 8: fascinating to hear the stories of why people become fans. 472 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 473 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 7: Now when you say it's grown massively, can you give 474 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 7: us some perspective on like how many members were in 475 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 7: UK Ravens in twenty seventeen, how many approximately are there now? 476 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 9: Oh, it's exponential from twenty seventeen to now. So last 477 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 9: time you were over, we had the downstairs at the 478 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 9: Admiraltle the pub.

We've 487 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 9: got ten twelve WhatsApp groups that are just full of 488 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 9: people that talk constantly nothing else about Ravens. And the 489 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 9: great thing is that a lot of these people have 490 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 9: never met in real life but talk daily to each other. 491 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 6: Right, so well is this I'm curious, like, do you 492 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 6: over the course of a season, are you hosting lots 493 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 6: of watch parties? Like you said, a lot of times 494 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 6: these people haven't necessarily a bit, So I think that's 495 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 6: one of the cool things about this game. This could 496 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 6: almost be like homecoming and a meet and greet. You know, 497 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 6: it's like a family reunion in certain ways. But how 498 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 6: does what do these watch parties look like? And how 499 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 6: do you keep this group and the momentum going every 500 00:18:59,080 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 6: single week? 501 00:18:59,560 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 3: Yeah? 502 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 8: I mean, and the big difference from you guys is 503 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 8: that you know, walking around Baltimore, you can be sure 504 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 8: that pretty much anybody knows what's going on with the 505 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 8: Ravens and who the star players are. 506 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 3: And all of that kind of stuff. Here. 507 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 8: If you're a fan of the Ravens, you almost certainly 508 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 8: won't know a fan of the Ravens who lives near you. 509 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 8: You probably won't know anyone else who's into American football. 510 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 8: So being able to connect these people through social media, 511 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 8: through WhatsApp groups and so on, and through the meetups 512 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 8: is a really big thing. This year, we've had meetups 513 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 8: every single week of the season. It's the first time 514 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 8: we've done that We've had meetups in London, Bristol, Glasgow, Newcastle, Warrington. 515 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 8: Your listeners won't know where any of these places are, 516 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 8: but they are. 517 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 3: One of them was fake, can you guess? 518 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 7: No? 519 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 3: It wasn't. They were all playing this game. When I 520 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 3: get the real. 521 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 8: Places at So we've had meetups every single week. We 522 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 8: get a pub that has access to it's called game 523 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 8: pass over here, but it's slightly different to your game pass. 524 00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 3: We find a pub that can show game. 525 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 8: We get so twenty or thirty people for those meetups, 526 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 8: and people get together talk about the team watch a 527 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 8: game together. But because these are scattered around the country, 528 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 8: that's about as big as they get generally, whereas for 529 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 8: these London ones, they are going to be, you know, 530 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 8: ten times that size. 531 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 3: So it is, as he says, people who've never met 532 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 3: in real. 533 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 8: Life will get the chance to have a beer together 534 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 8: for the first time, which is great. 535 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. 536 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 7: It kind of get it. So it's like a family 537 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 7: reunion almost in a way. Does this feel like carry 538 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 7: we're at the Mecca right, the Ravens are in London, Like, 539 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 7: let's all come together. Like what is the feeling of it? 540 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 5: Yeah? 541 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 9: I think so. One thing we took away from from 542 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 9: the last time the Ravens were over, which we don't 543 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 9: talk about the game at all. 544 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. I just don't remember anything. 545 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 9: The game didn't happen, but the weekend was fantastic and 546 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 9: everyone took that away. I think everyone had a great 547 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 9: time and it's that, but so much bigger this time, 548 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 9: and the Ravens are doing everything bigger as well. You 549 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 9: guys have come over earlier, doing the whole week here. 550 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 9: I just think everyone's really excited to have the team back. 551 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 9: I think some people thought it might never happen again, 552 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 9: listening to come to the result, the result in coaches 553 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 9: comments last time, we've waited six years for it, so 554 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 9: I think we're just about ready. 555 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 556 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 6: The last question that I have for you guys, I'm 557 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 6: just curious your perspective on the growth of the NFL 558 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 6: in the UK. You know, we see it. Roger Goodell's 559 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 6: talked about it. You know, the Jags played back to 560 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 6: back games here this year. The international series has grown. 561 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 6: We're talking about other countries getting the mix, you know, 562 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 6: across Europe. How has the game grown broadly? How do 563 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 6: you see that and what does that interest look like 564 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 6: here in the UK. 565 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 3: So I'm ancient. 566 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 8: I was an NFL fan in the mid eighties, which 567 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 8: is when the sports started to become big here. We 568 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 8: had an amazing four TV channels in this country in 569 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 8: the nineteen eighties, and on a Sunday night, one of 570 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 8: them would show NFL football, which for like a ten 571 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 8: year old kid like me, was much more exciting than 572 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 8: anything else was on offer. The NFL started bringing exhibition 573 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 8: games over once a year and people would go and 574 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 8: watch those, and for a while in the eighties it 575 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 8: was quite a big thing, quite a growing thing, and 576 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 8: then it sort of died off a bit in the nineties. 577 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 8: The regular season game started up in two thousand and seven, 578 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 8: and it seemed to it sort of brought my generation 579 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 8: back in. It's like, oh great, we can come and 580 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 8: see these. You know, as a kid in the eighties 581 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 8: watching NFL, I never imagined there would be a regular season. 582 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 3: Game happening in the UK. 583 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 8: I certainly never imagined we'd have services where I could 584 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 8: watch any game and wanted to watch live. I mean, 585 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 8: it's like, you know, I had to wait until Tuesday 586 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 8: morning to find out the results of Sunday Nights games 587 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 8: because they were in the newspaper. That was the only 588 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 8: way to find out. So my generation kind of got 589 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 8: back in, but a whole younger generation suddenly found the 590 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 8: sport as well. And there are people like, you know, 591 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 8: Jermaine Lumino, who played for the Ravens in twenty seventeen, 592 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 8: got into American football because he watched one of those 593 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 8: Wembley games on TV. And so it has really sparked 594 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 8: the imagine of this imagination of a whole generation and 595 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 8: it's kind of you know, it's still not there with 596 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 8: soccer and rugby and cricket, and you know, those are 597 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 8: still much bigger sports, but it has a profile that 598 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 8: it certainly never had when I was younger. 599 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 7: Do you think that a lot of UK fans think 600 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 7: and really strongly believe that eventually a franchise will come 601 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 7: here permanently. 602 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 9: I think there's a split, I honestly do. I think 603 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 9: there's there's a lot of UK fans that don't want 604 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 9: to see a franchise over here. 605 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: Interesting because they've all got the tick. 606 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 9: The Ravens of my team. 607 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: Like, if another team came here, you'd be like, oh no, 608 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: I have what happens now? 609 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 9: For Shane who lives in London. It would be quite 610 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 9: cool he could, he could get a season ticket, he 611 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 9: could go to. 612 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: Every game, but you would still stay evening correct, Yeah. 613 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: Come on, you're not flipping on us. 614 00:23:54,359 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 9: Okay, But but then there are some the so for it. 615 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 2: So it's interesting. It's been talked about it for a 616 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: long time. 617 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 7: Yeah. 618 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 8: The big issue I think that I've never seen a 619 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 8: satisfactory answer to is a London franchise couldn't play primetime games. Yeah, right, 620 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 8: because you can't have sixty thousand people at Tannham Stadium 621 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 8: leaving at three am. 622 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 3: How do you get them all home? 623 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 4: Right? 624 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 8: So, but Roger Goodell has mentioned the idea of having 625 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 8: a Super Bowl here and again, like you know, the 626 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 8: Super Bowls played at eight pm your time, whatever it is, 627 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 8: And that aspect of having a team here is a 628 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 8: big challenge for a team I think. 629 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, and Leslie for me, can you each explain how 630 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 7: you became Ravens fans? 631 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 9: So yeah, so our listeners on the UK Ravens podcast 632 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 9: would have heard these stories before. Shane's got a much 633 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 9: better one than me. He's got a better reason. I 634 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 9: was a video game nerd and I picked up a 635 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 9: copy of mad and I can't even remember which one 636 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 9: it was. 637 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: It was really cheap. 638 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 9: It was in a sort of bargain. I can't even 639 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 9: remember who was on the front of it. And I 640 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 9: picked the Ravens because they weren't the best team on 641 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 9: the game. They were sort of middle in team I had. 642 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 9: They had decent stats, and they had a purple uniform, 643 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,719 Speaker 9: which I liked. And that's how I got into NFL. 644 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 9: That's how I learned the rules of the game was 645 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 9: through Madden, and I think UK fans, once you're in, 646 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 9: you're in, and that's it everything. I just got so 647 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 9: into it, learned everything I could about the history and 648 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 9: went from there here. 649 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 8: So for me, like I said, like a lot of 650 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 8: British fans, in the nineties, NFL kind of dropped away 651 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 8: a little bit. But at the end of the nineties 652 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 8: I started dating the woman who's now my wife, whose 653 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 8: family are from Maryland, and so I got invited out 654 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 8: for the first Thanksgiving and the family said to me, 655 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 8: what do you want to do while you're over here. 656 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 8: I was like, well, I kind of like to go 657 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 8: to an NFL game. Can we get to an NFL game? 658 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 8: And they said, well, they were all fans of the 659 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 8: Washington team, and it was a big NFC East game 660 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 8: that week. 661 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 3: So they said, well, nobody's getting rid of their tickets. 662 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 3: We can't get you in to that one. 663 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 8: And I said, how far was Baltimore because that's near 664 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 8: and they said, I we can give you to Baltimore. 665 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 3: They're lousy, we can get you. 666 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 8: What year was this, fine, this was two thousand oh 667 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 8: what Yeah, So they were like, they haven't scored a 668 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 8: touchdown in like three weeks. I was like, okay, fine, 669 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 8: I'll take whatever NFL game i can get. And I 670 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 8: went to watch and Brian, you and I spoke about 671 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 8: this in twenty seventeen. You might remember this was the 672 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 8: game against the Cleveland Browns where the Browns scored a 673 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 8: touchdown on the first drive. They went sort of seventy 674 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 8: five yards or something, and then they did not The 675 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 8: Ravens defense did not concede that many yards in. 676 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 3: The whole of the rest of the rest of the 677 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 3: And I had grown up as a fan of defensive football. 678 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 3: I love defensive football. 679 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 8: And I was just saying, they're going, this is the 680 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 8: best thing I've ever seen. I have never seen a defense. 681 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 8: And you know, my first Super Bowl was Super Bowl 682 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 8: twenty nineteen eighty five Chicago Bears. I have never seen 683 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 8: a defense like this, and so I stayed with them 684 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 8: the whole of the rest of the season, and obviously 685 00:26:58,760 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 8: they never lost again. 686 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 3: They won the Super Bowl. And so going to see 687 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 3: the in laws in. 688 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 8: Maryland sort of you know every year and now every 689 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 8: other year of every other Christmas. I would sort of 690 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 8: slowly start going to games, and then you know, I 691 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 8: ended up becoming an obsessive. 692 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 7: So it's cool. 693 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: Did you convert the rest of the family as the question? 694 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 8: They sort of, they sort of moved away, so a 695 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 8: couple of. 696 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 3: Them, yes, Ravens fans. 697 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 8: The rest of them are sort of less interested in 698 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 8: Washington because they went off the owner. 699 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 3: They were sort of. 700 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 8: So I feel like I prized them all away and 701 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 8: at least turned most of them into neutrals. 702 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 6: Nice good fight, a lie.
