1 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: This is the otpepresented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. You 2 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: can plan on Farm Bureau Health Plans for better coverage, 3 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: better rates, and better customer service. They've been providing Tennessee 4 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: In's with the home field advantage for almost seventy five 5 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: years with Andy Wells. I'm Mike Keith. At the end 6 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: of I guess an uneventful week. Yeah, yeah, I mean 7 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: you're kind of in that point right now. There is 8 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: a bit of a lull before the Combine. I feel 9 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: because the Super Bowl ended, Super Bowls over, everybody's kind 10 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: of getting their bearings in terms of the Senior Bowl 11 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: is over, the Pro Bowls over, the super Bowl is over. 12 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: The initial wave of events have all passed, and now 13 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: we're waiting for the next big event, the Combine. And yeah, 14 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: it's kind of nice to have a couple of down days. 15 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: The Combine is March one through March seven, and then 16 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: teams can start talking to potential free agents on March 17 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: the fourteenth, can begin signing them on March the sixteenth 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: at three pm Central, And that's also when the top 19 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: fifty one rule takes effect. The top fifty one rule, 20 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: of course, being you have to be below the salary 21 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: cap for twenty twenty two based on your top fifty 22 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: one salaries, and that stays in effect until the week 23 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: of the regular season, when everybody then counts against your 24 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: salary cap. Did you on purpose not say legal tampering 25 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: period because you think it's silly. No, I have it 26 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: on my sheet, legal tampering period. But you know, and 27 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: that's when most of the deals are agreed to. Correct. 28 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: You know, everybody kind of goes crazy because some teams 29 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: go crazy during that period. They are deep end to it. 30 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: You know, they'll be like, it's Cleveland has agreed to 31 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: terms with nine guys. And of course your fans freak 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: out if you don't agree with anyone, right, And I 33 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: would say, and of course Titans fans have had some 34 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: freakouts over the last two or three years because John 35 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: Robinson does not go heavy in the first period of 36 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: free agency. That's just not what he does. And if 37 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, and if you look at 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: what John has to do, you know, trying to get 39 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: Harold Landry back, trying to figure out who else comes back, 40 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: knowing some guys will be gone. I don't think the 41 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: Titans are going to do much of anything. In the 42 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: first wave of free agency, their concentration is going to 43 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: be on their own guys. John Robinson is not the 44 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: cannonball in the pool kind of guy. He's not the 45 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: one that jumps in, makes the big splash and gets 46 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: all the attention. He's the long game player. I mean, 47 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: he's got the bigger picture in mind at all times. 48 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: And I think that I feel like we say this 49 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: every free agency period. It's gonna be okay, We're not 50 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: asleep at the wheel. There's so much to do. But 51 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: people don't believe that. No, people think we're lying because 52 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: they think it's like Major League Baseball. Whoever goes out 53 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: and signs the most guys is going to be who 54 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: goes and wins Super Bowl fifty seven in Phoenix. Yeah, 55 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: and that's not always the case, my friends, never the case. 56 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: You don't want to be the guy that wins the 57 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: super Bowl in the offseason because you never win the 58 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: actual Super Bowl, right yep. Well, and again, I mean, 59 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: I'll just say it right now. If you look at 60 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: the math, if you look at what the Titans have 61 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: to do, for example, they have to sign a J. 62 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: Brown at some point in the not too distant future. Yeah, 63 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: they have Jeffrey Simmons on the horizon. They have guys 64 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: Amonti Hooker is a guy who's played really well for 65 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: the Titans last year. And these are the guys that 66 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna want to keep with your bowl club because 67 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: history says keeping your own players who you have developed 68 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: is the best path to success. Now here's the other 69 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: part of it. If you've looked at the numbers and 70 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: they're probably not one hundred percent correct, because everybody, all 71 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: of the services that do the estimates of the salary 72 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: cap or are not one hundred percent precise. They can't be, 73 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: but they do a pretty good job. There are some 74 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: teams that are going to have to break it all down. Yeah, 75 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: there are a couple teams that are going to have 76 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: to completely blow it up and start over. Okay, guess what. 77 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: Those guys have to go somewhere. Yep, they need a 78 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: place to fall. And so those things will probably happen 79 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: over a period of time. When you say blow it 80 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: up and start all over, they probably won't let go 81 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: of all of them at once. No oh no, no, no, 82 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: it'll be Okay, we're down below the top fifty one level, 83 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: and now we need to sign our draft picks, and 84 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: now we're going to release a couple more guys. I 85 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: think the second wave of free agency is always where 86 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: John Robinson gets active. But in that third wave, you're 87 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: gonna have some opportunities for some players who come at 88 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: a really good value, and I think that's where he's 89 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: gonna be. So I think it's gonna be for John 90 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: a five month process. I think it's going to be 91 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: the middle of March until probably the middle of August 92 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: even Yeah, yeah, because there will be some things that 93 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: continue to happen. It probably puts more emphasis on the draft. 94 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: What does Yeah, but I mean that's what the draft 95 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: is for. It's right for filling those positions of needs. Right, So, 96 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: I you know, I think it's gonna be an interesting 97 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: next three to four weeks, undoubtedly, But again, don't lose 98 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: it March fourteen through sixteen. Well, and here's the thing. 99 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I like that John Robinson takes advantage 100 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: of every wave of free agency, right, you know, you know, 101 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: he's always churning, always working, and there's a level of 102 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: excitement with every phase. I love, love, love that he 103 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: takes advantage of the whole off season in working with 104 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: this team and working with this roster, and that it 105 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: goes into training camp because you know that there's so 106 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: many pieces and good finds that John has made over 107 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: the years as he just kind of keeps things churning. Well, 108 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: let me ask you this, If the Titans are able 109 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: to keep Harold Landry, what better free agent signing would 110 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: there be than Harold Landry? I can't think of for him, right, 111 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: I mean, That's what I'm saying is, so that's not 112 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: sexy and crazy in terms of the first weekend, and 113 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: you know they're going to work to do that if 114 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: they can find a way to keep everything together with 115 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: say Zach Cunningham who came over via waivers, would there 116 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: be a better free agent than Zach Cunningham. I don't 117 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: think so, right. I mean, so there are impact guys 118 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: that you've got to figure out some and listen, he's 119 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: gonna do some stuff. Oh yeah. I mean it's not 120 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: like he's not going to do anything. But I just 121 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: think as I was reviewing the numbers this week and 122 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: looking internally and externally at things, it just became more 123 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: and more obvious to me. It's like, Yeah, they're not 124 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: going to be playing in this end of the pool, 125 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: at this part of March. They're just not gonna happen. 126 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: There's no need. There are areas of need, yeah, I mean, 127 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: but I don't I think to your point about if 128 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: Harold Landry's your big free agent, that's fantastic. Well, and listen, 129 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen with it. I do 130 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: think they want him back, though, you know, they were 131 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: at a point this time last year where we had 132 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: a pretty good idea that John nu Smith and Corey 133 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: Davis were walking because they had such a need on 134 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: defense and they took that money and spent it on defense. Well, 135 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: in this case, I mean, I never thought Corey was 136 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: coming back, and I never thought Johnny was coming back. 137 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: For that reason, Harold certainly appears more likely from everybody's standpoint, right, 138 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: But you got to get a deal done, yes, yeah, 139 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: and that's a big I mean, that's the whole part 140 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: of it. I get that deal done, especially because he 141 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: was a second round pick and a pro bowler and 142 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: a pro bowler, so we'll see. The big story of 143 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: the week was about the stadium news. Yes, that it 144 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: was a huge story, and that if you weren't familiar 145 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: with kind of everything that went down with that. The 146 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: reporting was to summarize in twenty five words or less, 147 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: fixing up Nissan Stadium is going to cost about double 148 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: what they initially thought, and so the Titans are going 149 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: to look at all options, including looking at a new stadium. 150 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: Ashley Farrell counted your words. I think he actually did 151 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: pretty good. Okay, I was impressive. Yes, that's the gist 152 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: of it. The gist of it is when they started 153 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: to delve into the Nissan Stadium reno with what has 154 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: to be done, with the increasing costs that have happened 155 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: everywhere in construction and with everything else that's kind of 156 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: going on in the world right now, it's like, whoe, 157 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: these are the things that we'll have to do to 158 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: even have a chance to do these other things we 159 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: want to do. You know, it's it's a lot more 160 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: so would it make more sense for the long term 161 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: for Nashville, for the Titans, for everybody to build a 162 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: new venue? Yeah, And so that's where the discussion is 163 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: now is everybody has admitted new stadium is on the table. Well, 164 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: and I think that the conversation is an interesting one 165 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: to have because think about all the opportunities that a 166 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: building like that could bring not only to the Tennessee Titans, 167 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: but to the city of Nashville. That's right. So it's interesting, 168 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: but there's a lot to consider, and people are like, well, 169 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: how does this all happen? Why are people surprised at 170 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: what they looked at at Nissan Stadium and it ended 171 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: up Moore? Well, so let me ask you a question, 172 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: Mike Keith, because you were part of the very beginning 173 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: of all of this, you know better than most the 174 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: stadium was designed with intention, correct, The intention of the 175 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: stadium to get it built was to get a stadium, 176 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: was to get a stadium. Because the number one question 177 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: that Bud Adams had for then mayor later Governor Phil 178 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: Bretteson was will you build me a stadium? Nashville did 179 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: not have a stadium, right, There was no stadium in Nashville. 180 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: The only stadium Dudley Field at Vanderbilt, Vanderbilt Stadium, and 181 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: that's Vanderbilt's, that's not Nashville's. So Nashville did not have 182 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: an arena per se, and Nashville did not have a 183 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: stadium per se. So there was rationale not just for 184 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: the football team but also to have this be a 185 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: building block of the sort of reformation of downtown. Bretteson 186 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: saw that there could be a lot of use out 187 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: of having a stadium. Strangely, and this always dumbfounds people, 188 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: the big concerts didn't come to Nashville really. They went 189 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: to the Murphy Center in Murfreesborough. Interesting, and there was 190 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: no outdoor venue outside of Starwood Amphitheater, which was in 191 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: Antioch and which was a place that we went, but 192 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: it was not particularly large in terms of a massive scale. 193 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: When the Jacksons did their tour things called the Victory Tour, 194 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: they went to Neeland Stadium in Knoxville. They did stadiums 195 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: in various places. Nashville didn't get that stop, even though 196 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: Nashville is much larger than Knoxville. They didn't get that 197 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: stop because there was no stadium. They didn't have the venue. 198 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: So you get Country Music USA. The Country Music City, USA, 199 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: is how I should better say it. You're not getting 200 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: the big show shows because there was no venue. So 201 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: he was like, okay, this makes a lot of sense. 202 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about it before. Brought us and 203 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: not a football fan, but he saw bringing the NFL. 204 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: He saw a natural sort of synergy with what he 205 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: was trying to do downtown. He did the same thing 206 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: with the arena because Nashville had municipal Auditorium, which was 207 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: not a building that could hold that type of show, 208 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: and so you know, they that was part of the structure. 209 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: Not everybody was for this, And to people who have 210 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: just moved here now, or people, i would say the 211 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: ot people who are listening to this around the world 212 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: who aren't as familiar with Nashville history, there were people 213 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: who had rationale. They weren't haters, they had rationale for 214 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: not wanting this to happen. There was a referendum. Forty 215 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: one percent of the people voted no to building the stadium. Wow. 216 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: There were politics who were against it. There were community 217 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: activists who were against it. There were active members of 218 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: the media, and there were media outlets who certainly did 219 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: not seem pro building the stadium, and so there was 220 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: a headwind. The majority of people, fifty nine percent voted 221 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,599 Speaker 1: for it, but forty one percent is still pretty significant, 222 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: and so there were people eyeing the cost, eyeing how 223 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: it was going to be done, and that's why the 224 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: deal got done in the way that it did, and 225 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: that was they built a stadium for just under three 226 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars, with roughly forty percent of that in 227 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: land acquisition, So the stadium itself was built for less 228 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: than two hundred million dollars. It was an HK facility. 229 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: They built several of them during that time around the NFL, 230 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: and they weren't cheap, but they also weren't opulent. They 231 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 1: did not have bells and whistles. They were built structurally 232 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: in a sound way, but they were not built with 233 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: the idea that in twenty five years you're going to 234 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: be able to take in and do something very different 235 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: with it. And so with that being the case, and 236 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: with how fast it had to go, and what the 237 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: cost was and what the design was, I don't think 238 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: there's a big surprise when they delve into these things 239 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: now twenty five years later and they say we need 240 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: steel support instead of concrete support. The wiring now has 241 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: to be different, how the windows are made or different. 242 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: All of the things that you saw in the articles 243 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: that were written and the things that were confirmed that 244 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: are issues that are more expensive. I don't think it's 245 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: a big surprise. But no one looked at this the 246 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: wrong way in nineteen ninety seven, eight ninety nine. No 247 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: one cut corners in a poor way. No one was foolish, 248 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: no one was intentionally cheap. This is just what it was, right. Well, 249 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: think about different the world is twenty five years later, 250 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: I think, I mean ten years ago. There are things 251 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: that we couldn't have anticipated that we're able to do. 252 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: And there's so many things that are just standard practice 253 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: in major facilities that the Titans have done a good 254 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: job of incorporating, getting the Wi Fi to where it 255 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: needs to be, being able to have the big in 256 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: game production with the massive JumboTron and all of those 257 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: different things. But there are things you can't anticipate twenty 258 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: five years in advance, just advancements in technology and other 259 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: kind of bells and whistles that people have come to 260 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: expect out of some of these opulent stadiums. The allegiance 261 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: the Jerry worlds so far exactly. I mean, it's just 262 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: two different things. So yeah, I mean it makes a 263 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: lot of sense. Well, it does make a lot of sense. 264 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: I think the context of how it was built in 265 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: the late nineties provides some more insight into why these 266 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: issues have come up at this moment in time. And 267 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, that's one part of the discussion that I 268 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: think has been lacking so far as people are like, well, 269 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: why was this done like this? It's like, because that's 270 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: what had to happen. There was no way it was 271 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: going to be a five or six hundred million dollars 272 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: stadium in nineteen ninety nine. There was no chance. And 273 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: if they didn't keep moving on the thing, then they 274 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: were afraid that they would that they would lose support. 275 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: And you know, the team had to find a place 276 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: to play for two years after they left Houston, right, 277 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: and they had the debacle of nineteen ninety six in Houston, 278 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: when you know, it was the team was leaving and 279 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: Houston went crazy and it you know, it was just 280 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: a really rough situation for the entire organization. And then 281 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: they had to find a place to play, and so 282 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: all of this had to come together. They finished that 283 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: stadium amy just days before we played at in the preseason. Really. 284 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they were battling up until the end. The 285 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: first break that the Tennessee Titans organization got, and I 286 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: would say the Tennessee Oilers organization got because they had 287 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: a lot of bad breaks when they moved here. A 288 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: lot of things went wrong. But when the tornado of 289 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: April ninety eight ripped through downtown, there was a tremendous 290 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 1: amount of concern that it would destroy the construction that 291 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: had taken place and would set this back to the 292 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: point that it would not be ready for nineteen ninety nine. Wow. Instead, 293 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: and it was a big tornado. All it did was 294 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: take down scaffoling. They lost two weeks. Wow, that was 295 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: the only thing. And it was very minor because, I mean, 296 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: let's say it had gutted half the stadium the tornado 297 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: had hit, and again, it's just a construction zone at 298 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: that point. Then I don't know what happens. I mean, 299 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: I think the team eventually gets here and whatever. But 300 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: where do they play in ninety nine? How does the 301 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: ninety nine season unfold? Because part of the myth of 302 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: the ninety nine season, as you talk about it now, 303 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: wasn't just thirteen and three in Music City, miracle and 304 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It was being inside what was then Adelphia Coliseum. 305 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 1: And to the people here, people were very proud of 306 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: the stadium. Yeah, there was a great pride that Nashville 307 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: had a stadium and it was shiny and new and 308 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: fun and again, it didn't have every bell and whistle, 309 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: but it was a good place to go watch a 310 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: ball game, especially because the team won its first thirteen 311 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: games there well. And it's still a good place to 312 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: watch a ball game. I mean it. Nissan Stadium is 313 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: one of the great venues in my mind when it 314 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: comes to I mean, every seat in the house is 315 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: a good seat. You can see the press box, which 316 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: we love so much, and the radio booth is one 317 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: of the best in the National Football League in terms 318 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: of location and sightline and all of that. It's a 319 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: very easy to maneuver stadium for both fans and for 320 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: people who are working. It's very easy to get around. 321 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: There's so many things about Nissan Stadium that are great. Well, 322 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: just the location, I mean, yeah, unbelievable. How many stadiums 323 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: in the National Football League are in the middle of 324 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 1: just nowhere several Yeah, and there's not a lot around there. 325 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean the fact that you can walk across a 326 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: bridge and be from Nissan Stadium to Broadway. I mean, 327 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: holy smokes, we walk out of the stadium after a 328 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: big Titans win and you can hear Broadway just sure bumping. 329 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: I mean, it's an awesome place, and you get so 330 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: much of that Nashville vibe and that's only going to 331 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: continue as these projects go on, these talks continue. I mean, 332 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: the whole East Bank development conversation is just so exciting. Well, 333 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: we'll see what comes next, yes, and what the discussions 334 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 1: are and what the costs are, you know, because there 335 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: are things still to be determined. But again, the headline 336 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: from the stories that came out on Thursday and from 337 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: the quotes from the Mayor's office and from the Titans, 338 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: a new stadium is discussed is a possibility. And so 339 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, it's exciting, it's exciting, it's very exciting, 340 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: and you could see where it makes sense and you 341 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: could see where it can be long term cost effective 342 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: for where this franchise goes, you know, going forward over 343 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: the next quarter century, twenty five to thirty five years. 344 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: If there's anything that we have learned in the last 345 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: couple of years, Amy Adam Strunk is going to do 346 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: what's best for Nashville, what's best for the Tennessee Titans, 347 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: and she's going to do it all the way. I mean, 348 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: from the facility the Titans are into all the renovations 349 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: that have been made to all of the upgrades that 350 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: eminniece on stadium. So far, Amy Adam Strunk doesn't play 351 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: around with comes to any sort of glow up with 352 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: her facilities. They are all dynamite. So whatever ends up happening, 353 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean I would let Amy Adam Strunk renovate my house. Wow, 354 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: she's good at what she does. She knows what she likes, 355 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: m and I like what she likes. So somebody ask 356 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: me what's the best road trip for the Titans in 357 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two? Have you studied this? I was looking 358 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: at it the other night, Mike Keith, completely from a 359 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: weather perspective. Okay, so selfishly, no thinking of the team. 360 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: It's hard to play in the elements. Okay. So here 361 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: are the away game trips for twenty twenty two Kansas City, 362 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: which I think is a really good trip. The food 363 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: is good. The stadium is out and a way, but 364 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: it's out in a way in a good way. Yeah. 365 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: It's a fifty year old facility that was thought of 366 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 1: ahead of its time. In the Royals Stadium are right together, 367 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: massive parking lot, easy to get in and out of, 368 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: great venue. They have redone the stadium over a period 369 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: of time, Kansas City did a three hundred and seventy 370 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: five million dollar renovation in two thousand and ten. It's 371 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: Geha Field at Arrowhead now Los Angeles Chargers at SOFI. 372 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: That's a good trip. Recommend it, Yeah, highly recommend. Philadelphia, Chile, Washington, Washington. 373 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: I kind of am interested. We don't play there very often. 374 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: Have you ever done a game there? The last time 375 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: I did a game there, there was a mouse in 376 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: the press box. Yeah. I sat on my knees for 377 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: an entire game. But you've never done sidelines. I've never 378 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: done sidelines back. Okay, No, Buffalo Cricket Houston. Houston can 379 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: be fun. Indianapolis, Indianapolis can be fun. Jacksonville the only 380 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 1: warm one in the whole gamut except for so far, 381 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: and then Game seventeen is Green Bay. I low key 382 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: really like going to Green Bay. Well everybody does. Yeah, 383 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,959 Speaker 1: I think that's a great trip. But I like the 384 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: whole experience. I love the Wisconsin of it all. I 385 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: like where we stay. I like being you've never stayed 386 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: in Appleton, I've never stayed in Apple. Okay, quick story 387 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: for those listing the paper valley in in Appleton, is 388 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: this fantastic place to stay. It's not a fancy hotel. 389 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: It's not a place that you'll see from the outside 390 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: or you'll go into the room and go this is 391 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: the greatest place in the world. The service is phenomenal. 392 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: There's Lobarti steakhouses in there. You're within walking distance to 393 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: a great German restaurant, a great Italian restaurant, several great 394 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: places to have an adult beverage. Appleton is fantastic. And 395 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: then you're a very short drive, maybe forty to forty 396 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: five minutes from Green Bay. Okay. Now, we've stayed in 397 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: Green Bay and I've enjoyed it. Yes, the couple times 398 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: that we've been there, even in the snow, even to 399 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: get a butterburger. Yes, we went and got a butterburger 400 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: and it was delicious. We've walked to places to grab 401 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: a beverage or two before then, no, the day before, Okay, 402 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: but I've always really enjoyed, even in the snow. I've 403 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: always really enjoyed Green Bay. Well, they're They're fantastic. There 404 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: are two places on this list that I always say 405 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: are among the five You have to see a game. 406 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: You have to see a game in Kansas City if 407 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: you're an NFL fan. Yeah, you have to see a 408 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: game in Kansas City. You have to see a game 409 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: in Green Bay. If you go to Kansas City, if 410 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: you make the trip, don't go to Kansas. Don't go 411 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: to Kansas. Don't. We don't even talk about the state. 412 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: You've got to rent a car and like go tailgate, 413 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: like even get a subway sandwich on the way, rent 414 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: a car, pay the parking, and get the tailgating at 415 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: a Chief's game experience. It's totally worth it. In my mind, 416 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: sec worthy a very similar vibe, very similar. Okay, and 417 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: everybody's great. You can just walk around. People hand your food, 418 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: they hand your beer. Just go to the grocery store 419 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: and get something to eat, get you twelve pack of beer, 420 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: and just go park in the parking lot and walk around. 421 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: Rent a car. It's worth it as long as you're 422 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: older than twenty one. As long as you're older than 423 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: twenty one. If you're not, then don't get a twelve 424 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: pack of beer. Yeah, drive the car, still, get the food, 425 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: still walk around. Yeah, skip the beer. Skip the beer. 426 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: You know it'd be interesting too to see if the 427 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: Titans draw one of the International games. Yes, yes, it 428 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: will because it's been four years. Yeah, I can't believe. 429 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: Can you guys believe it's been that long? Rabels first year? 430 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: It feels like equal parts yesterday. Don't you want to 431 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: send Derrick Henry somewhere? I'm sending Derrick Henry to Germany 432 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: and putting him in Lederhosen, like this is the thing 433 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm doing. But I mean, it would make a lot 434 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: of cents to send the Titans somewhere overseas with Derek, 435 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: because Derrick Henry will be in year seven and and 436 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: so you want I mean, I think you he's one 437 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: of the faces of the National Football League's He's like 438 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: a ma Homes, He's like a Rogers, He's like a 439 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: Brady Was like Burrow I think is becoming. I think 440 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: you you want to get him out on that international 441 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: stage as you try to expand that market. And the 442 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: last time the Titans went overseas, I don't remember was 443 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: that a home game or an away game for the Titans. 444 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: It was an away games. So would they be the 445 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: home team? I mean maybe, I don't know. I'm not 446 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: entire no, no, no, because I don't think they're going 447 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: to give away one of their home games because they 448 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: have the extra away game, correct, But because next year 449 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: is the year that the AFC teams played eight home 450 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: games and the NFC teams played nine home games, I 451 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 1: wasn't sure if it was continuing, unless unless they want 452 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: to give a home game away, and that's something that 453 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: they decide to do, you know, I don't know that. 454 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there could be some good matchup well there too. 455 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: I mean the Chargers the last time, right, so maybe 456 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: we don't go to LA and maybe we go to 457 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: Germany Frankfurt. They're both long flights, so at that point, 458 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: just point the plane in a direction. There you go 459 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: with the home games, though, the home schedule is great, awesome, Denver, yep, 460 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Yes, Josh McDaniels, who Dallas. Every person that 461 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: I know who's ever rooted for Dallas has already hit 462 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: me up seriously already. The Giants, Cincinnati, Crazy, Houston, Indianapolis, 463 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. It's a really good home schedule. Strong strong, 464 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: I mean it's a tough schedule period. Yeah, and we'll 465 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: I think we'll learn the exact mid May is when 466 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: we'll learn the exact schedules. That's what we think. And 467 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: of course then three preseason games. The Titans will have 468 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: two preseason home games this year and one preseason road game. 469 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 1: I know it's only February, but I'm I'm kind of 470 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: getting You're ready. I'm kind of ready. You know. I've 471 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: had my couple weeks to decompress to you know, take 472 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: a nap on a Sunday and think, man, this feels good, 473 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: and now I'm kind of over it. I'm ready to 474 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: play football again, which is I know, well, we're getting 475 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: ready to go to Combine. Yes, that'll scratch the edge. 476 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: That is restorative. Oh, it cherous. It brings me life. 477 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: The Combine. Your football soul is refilling well, and you 478 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: feel like you're watching people do football things because they're running, 479 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: they're they're catching balls. Yeah, yeah, I mean you feel 480 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: like it kind of it fills that void and there's 481 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: just kind of a buzz and an excitement. I mean, 482 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: I go too far with it, and I know this 483 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: about myself, but I get very emotional about like new 484 00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: beginnings and excitement for this next generation. And I understand 485 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: that that's you also get emotional about Indianapolis. Well, like 486 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: the city of Indianapolis and the fact the Combine is 487 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: leaving it's not the city of Indianapolis. It's the consistency. Well, 488 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: let least stop myself. It's only scheduled there for one 489 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: more year. It's not necessarily leaving. They may get it 490 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: back somehow, but yeah, they could sense. Yes, is that 491 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: the league wants to move it around like the draft? Yes, 492 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: which I bet your quarter that's what's going to happen. 493 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: And I understand the Yes, I understand. It breaks my 494 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: heart because the consistency of that and just it feels 495 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: like home. There's predictability. You know what's going to happen 496 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: for a combine week when you go. You know that's 497 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: because that's all you've ever known. And it's great. But 498 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And for the league, 499 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: every right, Amy, we have sent you to draft after 500 00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: draft after draft, and somehow, whether it's Philadelphia or Chicago 501 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: or Dallas or wherever you've been, somehow you've adapted. Miraculously, 502 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: you have adapted. I have adapted. Some people around me 503 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: don't adapt as well as I. Well that's not true. 504 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: It makes it very difficult. But the thing is, you 505 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: will adapt to a new combine location. I think our 506 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: football coach is going to adapt. But that's not they're 507 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: going to adapt. They're not an adaptable people. Do you 508 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: think the owners are going to take a poll? No, No, 509 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: I don't because guess what, ching ching, ching ching, And 510 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: I don't think they're sad that I'm sad the owners 511 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: that that my restaurant that I've gone to every year 512 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: for the past three hundred years, I now won't be 513 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: going to. They closed it. They closed it during the pandemic. 514 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: It's not there anymore, you know them. Mike has no 515 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: sympathy for my morning. You're not a little bit sad 516 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: about Indianapolis that the era is that the fact that 517 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: we may get to have the combine in Nashville, Like, 518 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: you don't think it sound like I don't want to 519 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: hang out in my own city. You're not the case. 520 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: You are a Nashville hater. I'm not a Naville I know. 521 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: But but the point is, you don't think we can 522 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: do that in Nashville. I think we could do it. 523 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: You don't think we could do it just as well, 524 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: if not better, in Nashville. I like that I know 525 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: exactly where the route that I will walk to get 526 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: to my table to sit and take you a vacation 527 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, go up there for a week. I don't 528 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: want to go there on vacation. I want to have one. 529 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: You're part of the Indianapolis tourism. Who I'm not. I 530 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: want to have one NFL event where I know what 531 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: to expect and I can just wake up in the 532 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: morning and do what I have to do. There's not 533 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: a lot of that's called day, that's home games to 534 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: get over a change. I hate it. I hate change. 535 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: I hate change. Indianapolis does a nice job. The people 536 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: who put on the combine do it a nice job. 537 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: Indianapolis has one of the more underrated downtowns in America 538 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: in my opinion. Very easy to navigate if you don't 539 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: want to go outside in the cold, just like Minneapolis. 540 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: There are places that you can walk underground and tunnels 541 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: over the street, whatever you want to call it. And 542 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's really nice. They have nice restaurants. Saint 543 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: Elmo's delicious. It's it's tremendous. Get yourself a shrimp cocktail 544 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: and you know, have your brain blow up because of 545 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: the horseradish. Fine, it's outstanding. But guess what we got 546 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: great restaurants here. Yes, we have doctors, nurses and other 547 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: medical professionals who can administer tasks and all sorts of things. 548 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: We can check people out here. You know, we have 549 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: world class medical people here. I'm not saying that Indie 550 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: is better than Nashville, but that's but we're not talking 551 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: about like it's the only place held. No, but the 552 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: difference between holding the combine something that requires so many 553 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: moving pieces and parts to all kind of happen at 554 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: the same pieces. In part, the players are moving all 555 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: over the place. They have stations, and it's so hard 556 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: to get them from station to station, and you don't 557 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: all in one location. Imagine taking these people to Los 558 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: Angeles where there's traffic and streams, like, you can't. You 559 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: don't think they can do it. It's so fine. No, 560 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: you don't think the same way, peop. No, it won't 561 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: look the same. But how so you can't bring doctors 562 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: and X ray machines because if Squirrel McGee shows up 563 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: and he's got a torn shoulder and we've got to 564 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: take him to a hospital, it's gonna take an hour 565 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: and a half to get him to that hospital. Like, 566 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: you can't bring an mr. They won't. They're gonna have 567 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: to take him to the hospital, and it's gonna throw 568 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: him completely off of his whole routine for the rest 569 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: of the day. It's a domino effect. You run for 570 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: mayor of Indianapolis, I don't want to be the mayor 571 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: of Indianapolis. I mean, I'm just saying that. It is 572 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: such a delicate dance. No, it's mine. It is No, 573 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: it's not. Guys have a very it's not iterary. So 574 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: if these people at the NFL can put on a 575 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, they can't put on a combine at different locations. Mike, 576 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: there are some things Amy, just because don't understand. I understand. 577 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: This is about your comfort, This is about your convenience. 578 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: I understand. I understand. This is about Amy. This isn't 579 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: it is totally about all. This is not This is 580 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: not about the combine. This is about you, and I 581 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 1: think it's time you tell the OT people the truth. 582 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: This isn't about me. This is the fact that I 583 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: am anticipating disaster from a scheduling stands. There is going 584 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: to be mayhem. They nearly arrested you in Indianapolis two 585 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: years ago, so there wasn't mayhem. Then there was backstory. 586 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: Amy goes to do an interview somewhere. Ashley Farrell nearly 587 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: went to the chair because this guy claimed they didn't 588 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: have the right badge. So you're taken up for people 589 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: who I mean, finally somebody came over with, hey, calm 590 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: down there. He would have been an interview. I'm not 591 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: saying that Captain America, who tried to take me to jail, 592 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: was like the best law enforcement agent I've ever dealt with. 593 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: But I am saying that when it comes to players 594 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: getting through the circuit, that is the combine. Oh wait, 595 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: and we can't set up a bench press in LA. 596 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: We can't do the vertical jump in LA. We can't. 597 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: I mean, and players and coaches and everyone all being 598 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: in one place, it is dramatic. It is. So they're 599 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: all in one location. Everyone is within three blocks of 600 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 1: each other. In Indianapolis. If you want to run into 601 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: a scout, a coach, a general manager, the guy you 602 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: worked with thirty eight years ago, they're all in one place, 603 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: like they're all right there, but you've accessed everybody. But 604 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: like that can't happen anywhere else. No, in LA, everyone 605 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: is going to be spread to every part of California. 606 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: Never see anybody around so far, so far is as 607 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: big as all of downtown Indianapolis so far doesn't even 608 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: have walls. I'm just telling you, just the limb stadium. 609 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: I think you see what we're going to have for 610 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: the whole not doing it outside Amy, not doing that. 611 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: Amy may cry cry right now. We don't cry right 612 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: now because that would make me look so bad just 613 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: because we have this constant disagreement. Amy believes the only 614 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 1: place the combine can be held as Indianapolis. I am 615 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,359 Speaker 1: going to get emotional on our last day there. This 616 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: is a guess what. We'll be going back for a 617 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: game at some point. But it's not the city, it's 618 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: the event in the city. I'll take you out to eat. 619 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: I'll get you. I'll take it a steak and shake. 620 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 1: I too love steak. I know I love the sea. 621 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 1: And seeing that you can't get that in La. Uh, 622 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: steak and shake in La. Got to go to in 623 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: and out. Fries aren't the same. Oh, the fries and 624 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: in and out are so much better. No, we can't 625 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: even have this discussion right now. And I love steak 626 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: and ship. I've been housing steak and shake fries lately. 627 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: There is nothing that's a different show in this world 628 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: than a steak and shake French fry. I just like 629 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: to get out with a wind. I know, this is 630 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: a row. We've gotten out of there with the wind 631 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: and it feels so good every single time. It's different 632 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 1: during the By the way, speaking of that, you read 633 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: all the stuff about them getting rid of Carson Wentz 634 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: after one years. Yeah, it doesn't feel like a great 635 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: time to be all Carson up there. But you know 636 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: what's really weird is what do they do? I don't know. 637 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, they don't have a they 638 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: don't have a first round pick. So it's like if 639 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: they if they want to make a deal for Deshaun 640 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: Watson or for somebody else. Again, I'm just throwing it 641 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: out there, what do they have to deal with? Well, 642 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: they don't have a one to deal this year? So 643 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: do you deal your next three ones for somebody? Yeah? 644 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: How do you do? It's this seems like like the 645 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: plan is there is no plan, Like, I can't one 646 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: for him. I can't. It turns out they gave they 647 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: gave up a one for him, and they'll take a 648 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: fifteen million dollar dead cap hit. I mean, and they've 649 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: got money. They'll be okay. But I mean that's the 650 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: double whammy that you you you paid for him for 651 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: a year and he's gonna cost you fifteen million next year, 652 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: and you gave up a one and you're talking that 653 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 1: he might not be with your team. Feels a little 654 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: hasty to me. It feels like, did it feel like 655 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: you better get out while the getting's good. We don't 656 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: want to waste him. We know we know this isn't 657 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: the right fit. We have to move on. But when 658 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: Chris Mortenson put that report out, yeah, I was like, 659 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean, because that's Chris Mortenson, who knows that's not 660 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: Zippy Zipster. That's Chris Mortenson who says, yeah, that they're 661 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: getting rid of him. Bob Kravitz wrote a piece and uh, 662 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: the athletic Bob Kravitz is great, by the way, he 663 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: is great. It's a good guy. He is a good guy. 664 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: He's a very good guy. He's a great writer. I 665 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: nearly spoke to him once up there, just to tell 666 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: him I enjoyed his work well, but I thought he 667 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: would yell at me about the well like like like 668 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: you just yelled at me about the comp No, you 669 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: started it. I brought up the fact he started it. 670 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 1: I did not start it. I just brought up the 671 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: fact that this could be the last year of the Combine. 672 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 1: But no, Bob Kravitz is a very nice man. Maybe 673 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: when we're up there for the Combine for the last 674 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: time ever. He's a great writer too. You should tell 675 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: him that he's a really good writer. I love his work. 676 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: And he wrote today that he thinks Carson Wentz has 677 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,439 Speaker 1: gone to Yeah, he said, any he put it, he goes, 678 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 1: this is not Bob Kravitz reporting. This is just Bob 679 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: Kravitz opinion. Yeah, you know he's making he's making the 680 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: points about a very educated guess. I mean it really, 681 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: it really gets interesting because you think Davis Mills is 682 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: the quarterback in Houston, You think, what does Levy Smith think? Right? 683 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: Sounds like he thinks that he's the guy. You know, 684 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,879 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence's quarterback in Jacksonville. And I still think Trevor 685 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: Lawrence is going to be really good. Yeah, Ryan Tannehill's 686 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 1: quarterback in Tennessee. But who's quarterback in Indianapolis? Which is 687 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: the wild cards? You never saw coming? Never of all 688 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,919 Speaker 1: the curveballs three weeks ago, Never would I have ever 689 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: thought I mean three years ago, you thought Andrew Luck 690 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,760 Speaker 1: would still be there. Yeah, Indies had some weird times 691 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 1: these last couple of years. Wells had a time after 692 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: they had I would say, I would say after they 693 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: had two quarterbacks who were once in a lifetime back 694 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: to back. Yeah. See how the other half lives there. 695 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's welcome to the real world. Welcome yeah, 696 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: welcome home. Yeah, because I mean you so you get 697 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,399 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, You almost picked Ryan Leaf. You thought long 698 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: and hard about picking Ryan Leaf. You picked Peyton Manning 699 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: and that worked out great. And then just at the 700 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,760 Speaker 1: point where Peyton Manning had a bit of an issue, 701 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: then you ended up with Andrew Luck. Incredible, yeah, I 702 00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: mean phenomenal yep. And so then he quit. Now he 703 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: didn't take great care of him, No, he didn't. You 704 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: kind of broke him. But I mean that's not our problem. Sorry, guys, 705 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: what do they do now? If the Carson wentz, things 706 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 1: off the table. Maybe you can discuss that while we're 707 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: at the combine. Well, yeah, I mean there's some people 708 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,280 Speaker 1: up there. We can ask some questions of, get some answers, 709 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: do some sleuthing. And that's one of the good things 710 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: about the combine. You can just find out so much 711 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: information from around the football, which you could find out 712 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City if they held the combine there. 713 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: I mean, will you even run into anybody you've ever 714 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: met there? Probably not Salt Lake City. No, it'd be 715 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: so spread out. Yeah, I mean, that's what you say. 716 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 1: You don't know that. I do, I know, I know it. Wow. 717 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: I mean the draft has not been the same since 718 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: it was in New York City. There's the draft is 719 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: better now that it's better, but it's different. It's not 720 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 1: the same. It's so much better. We had the draft here, 721 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: did you remember. Yeah, it was nine years ago. Thousand 722 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 1: people came. It transformed the image of our city into 723 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: big time world because we did it better than anybody, 724 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: Which is what we'll do with the combine when we 725 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 1: get it here. Oh, it's very nice. We will get 726 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: the combined, but it will be better. I don't know. 727 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: I know. Bigger is not always be Bigger is always better, baby, 728 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: It's always better. God, I love consistency so much. Just really, yeah, 729 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,240 Speaker 1: could have fooled me. I just want to know what's coming. 730 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,359 Speaker 1: I just want to know what's happening.
