Here here 16 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: was the schedule, just so your listeners. No, Thursday afternoon, 17 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: I had to meet with the Falcons, uh and it 18 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: was a loaded schedule. It was Kyle Shanahan, Dan Quinn, 19 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, Vic Beasley, Julio Jones, Mohammedsonnu Freeman. We met 20 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: with all of them. So to do that, I have 21 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: to be in Atlanta Friday though. We met with the 22 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: Seahawks at their team hotel in airport Hotel. I was 23 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: shocked they stayed there. I don't even think Pete Carroll 24 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,639 Speaker 1: was thrilled to be there either, but I think everything 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: was booked. So they were staying at an airport hotel 26 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: and it was Pete Carroll, Christo Roshard, Thomas Rawls, who, guys, 27 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: is incredible. Okay, I used to get into this. Why 28 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: do you are like enamored by him a little bit 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: right or disarmed by him in some way? This kid 30 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: comes in and he is wears it on his sleeve. 31 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: He's like, I was undrafted. I'm filling in from Marshawn Lynch, 32 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: and I am so grateful for the opportunity. He is 33 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: from Flint, Michigan, and he sets it straight up and Nate, 34 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: I don't know Flint like you know. I don't remember 35 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: the Flint Stones with Mopete and mateinekays. He says, I 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: am not supposed to get out of there. We don't 37 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: get out of Flint you don't leave Flint. He's like, 38 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: so it's house money my life. The rest of the way, 39 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: my life is house money. Everything here is not supposed 40 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: to happen because no one's supposed to make it out 41 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: of Flint. You lived in Michigan, What is that about. Well, listen, 42 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: Flint is probably one of the most I would say 43 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: intense places I've been. And by the word intense, I 44 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: mean kind of all encompassing of the definition where everybody 45 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: is on edge from the time you wake up to 46 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: going and fighting for a dollar, feeding your family, whether 47 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: you're doing it the legal way, a legal way, trying 48 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: to get respect for yourself as an athlete, as a community, 49 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: and as a city. That's what I mean by intense. 50 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: So people are always on, the light is always on. 51 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: You know how you meet individuals and there's something damn 52 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: about their spirit. And you're describing Thomas Rawsen, he's always on, 53 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: right because you say he's playing with house money. It's 54 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: like already seeing the movie and he's seen this movie 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: book and he said the book has been written for 56 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: the book has been written, said that, and that's why 57 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: that's crazy. You just said that without the movie. Because 58 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: he's like the book's written. He's like, I just gotta 59 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm living it out now. So for him, the book 60 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: is the book is written, and the way I like 61 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: to look at it, the movie it's already been played. 62 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 1: Now it's just bonus footage. You know, how you watch 63 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: a movie, it's like, oh, I didn't know these extra 64 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: scenes were coming, these deleted scenes, and you're sitting there 65 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: so giddy because you already saw the movie. Now I 66 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: saw bonus director's cut, and that is him. He's living 67 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: the director's cut of his life. And it's all bonus footage, 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: which is why I cheer for him, and I'm in 69 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: his corner. So when I watch him on the field, 70 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: I just hope he stays healthy and he gets everything 71 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: he deserves plus more. However, you saying that he was 72 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: like a focen you met him in the broadcasting team 73 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: for Fox mentioned it too. In the game Lynch and 74 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: Burkhardt were in also, so that it was the most 75 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: unique production meeting. So in these production meetings, guys, it's 76 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: you have twenty minutes with the guy and you could 77 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: ask him anything. And I visually they each come in 78 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: one at a time, one at a time like a carousel, 79 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: So you know, Pete will sit with us, and it's 80 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: twenty minutes with Pete Carroll and it's every question from 81 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, how's his team's locker room? You know, after 82 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman has an everything, and they're candidate, and there's 83 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: a bit of trust in there that don't tweet anything, 84 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: don't talk about it. But when we get in the broadcast, 85 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: you can sprinkle what we're talking about into it. So, 86 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: for example, Thomas Rawls tells us, you know, everyone in 87 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: his family, his brother, him, his grandfather's dad or all 88 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: named Thomas Rawls. It was like the George Foreman deal. 89 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: And it was a great story, and we would have 90 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: never had that if we didn't sit with him directly 91 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: and talk with him. And then they went into what 92 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: that means that named Thomas Rawls, what that means to him. 93 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: So we do that Thursday and Friday, Saturday's the game, 94 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: so it all comes together. I'm working the sidelines and 95 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: then Saturday night I was supposed to have a flight 96 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: out to Kansas City. It was canceled because of that 97 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: horrible weather. The game was subsequently postponed. I flew out, postponed, postponed, 98 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: early in the morning Sunday, get there do the Kansas 99 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: City game, and then I got stuck in Kansas City 100 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: all day yesterday, so I didn't get into late yesterday. 101 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: So it's been a lot of travel. And I've been 102 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: blessed by the show producers and you guys who have 103 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: been patient with me because this is my first priority 104 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: at least Monday through Friday. And I've been on satellite 105 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: feeds and in different places and you guys and have 106 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: been cooler about to ask you a question, Peter I 107 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: you know, I know you did the pregame interview Pete Carroll, 108 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: like the one where the crowd is going crazy is 109 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: about the games about to start. I've never known a 110 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: sideline reporter, and I have a new appreciation for me. 111 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: I know. I'm sure a lot of people listening have 112 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: watched them their whole life. Jack of Roods, it's un 113 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: dockery who all those people. And you know, sometimes they 114 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: take unfair criticism for the interviews being perfunctory, or that 115 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: sometimes the questions being vapid. I understand the signs completely different. 116 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: It's very sophisticated. Because you have a very small one, 117 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: you have to nail it. So for something like Pete Carroll. 118 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: When you know the atmosphere is going to be tight 119 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be tight, how do you prepare those questions? 120 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: How do you do that? That's interesting? So for Fox, 121 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: we don't do on air camera interviews with the coaches 122 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: ever except for playoffs. And it's quickly they come out 123 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: of the tunnel. It's quick, and he's so high energy. 124 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: He talks over to it and you have to hope 125 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: that they wrap it quick and there who knows he's 126 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: coming to you. It's arranged. The PR guy will run 127 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: him out and pep. But the question isn't arranged. He 128 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: has no idea he has I could have dropped anything. 129 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: He agreed that there's two questions and you have thirty 130 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: seconds and you don't want to ask anything stupid, Right, Well, 131 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: there's two things stupid One. Don't ask anything. It's gonna 132 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: that's gonna get a bland response to you know' you know. 133 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: The Twitter mob actually does help because I see a 134 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: lot of these side o reporters and I'm not naming 135 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: names or anything. I think it's in general and I've 136 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: done itself. If you say, you know, what what was 137 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: it like in that moment or the most vapid general like, 138 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: you know what what what? What's about the confidence of 139 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: this team? Yes, and it's like you told me the defense. Yeah, 140 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: and it's not specific to the team. It's just a 141 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: general question. How big this? Yes? So my question was this, 142 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: you're going up against the number one offense in the NFL, 143 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: but you guys have the collective experience they do not 144 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: more specific, what in the locker room was the message 145 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: before you came out here? And he answered it great? 146 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: It was, you know, it was perfect, It was what 147 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: we what I wanted. It was high energy. I followed 148 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: up one with quick and then I had to do 149 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: this other thing, which is like a little element to it. 150 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: I had to toss it to Pam Oliver, who's on 151 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: the other side with dan Quinn. So I got this 152 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: clock in my head thirty seconds, ten seconds to get 153 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: it to and the producer like, get it to Pama. 154 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: Thanks coach, all right, and now with dan Quinn, Pam Oliver. 155 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: And in that moment and then that well, in that moment, 156 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: you're thinking, is it Gus Bradley, Like whose the head coach? 157 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: Is it Dan Reeves? I'm blanking? And who is on 158 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: the sideline, is it, Pam all in bloom boom boom boom. 159 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: So it is a skill And I get offended because 160 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: I think Aaron Andrews is one of the best postgame interviewers. 161 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: You'll see. She gets a side of these guys that 162 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: no one else does. And I check Twitter and they're 163 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: critical Aaron, like, oh, that Aaron Rodgers interview. And it's 164 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: even like the sports media types like, oh, he's like, 165 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: you know, high brow, Like what's the point of a 166 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: sideline reporter. We see Aaron Rodgers his personality through those interviews. 167 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: You don't see Aaron Rodgers personality through his play. We 168 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: kind of have a feeling for Aaron because of the 169 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: way he is with Aaron, the way is with Pam, 170 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: the way he is with Tracy Wolfson. So I take 171 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: a lot of pride in getting the most out of 172 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: these coaches and the most out of these players. And 173 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: you're right, Kyle, there is a lot of pressure because 174 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: it's the playoffs, is the only game on the television. 175 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: You guys are pros. Yes, it was fun, man, it 176 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: was so cool. It felt like a rush. It felt 177 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: there was an adrenaline shot. Knowing you I was like Okay, 178 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: where was the better energy comp The dome was rocking. 179 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: The Georgia Dome felt like it was a college basketball 180 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: game and I'm walking into Cameron Indoor and the fans 181 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: are jumping. That goes against type because Kansas City of 182 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: the loud fans Atlanta, you know, you know, but like 183 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: that's the interesting answers now different. You're dealing with the elements. 184 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: You're dealing with a nighttime game. The people are drunk day, 185 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: been out there all day. The Atlanta thing was like 186 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: the second you walked in, you felt like you were 187 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: in you know, Paul Pavilion. It was so enclosed and 188 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: there were so many celebrities on the sidelines, like you 189 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: guys mentioned Future was there from the show. I don't 190 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: know Future from you know, from mc hammer, but he 191 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: was there, and there was this feeling of like Atlanta 192 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: being like Nate's laughing Hammer, come on, give yourself some credits? 193 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: Would why we pray I would, But my point being, 194 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, Roger Godell is on the field, Arthur Blank 195 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: is on the field, Pete Carrol's Roman the sideline. Arthur 196 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: Blank dancing was the cutest thing I've seen all year. Unbelievable, 197 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: and it just felt like this is Atlanta's moment as 198 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: a city, as everything and um to be their firstand 199 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,359 Speaker 1: to be one. I saw Michael Robinson, I saw Mike Aarafolo. 200 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: It's like the NFL playoffs are something very special where 201 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: there's sixteen games during every week, but when these playoffs come, 202 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: the NFL world gets real small and every last same places. Yeah. 203 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: I love the fact that we all learn different platforms, 204 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: different networks, and we're all representing different teams. I'm talking 205 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: about as media. But when the playoffs get a little 206 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: bit more tight and these teams start to shake out 207 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: now in the final four or the previous weekend to 208 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: throw down around, you see this extended family for guys 209 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, or maybe people you haven't met, women that 210 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: you've seen on TV guard in Kansas City. And it's 211 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: a simple no, it's a simple hey, how you doing. 212 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: But we are family, you know, even though we're all 213 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: competitive and we're all working for different networks. But it's cool. 214 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: It's cool to see everybody that are in the game, 215 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: players remove from the game and we're all basically waiting 216 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: for one thing to see the best game of the weekend. 217 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: Did you shake any gmfber's hands. Did you kiss any babies? Okay, 218 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: so that transition to sign any body parts anything like that. 219 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: There was some really cool moments of fans. You know, yes, 220 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: there was a lot of that. But the craziest thing 221 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: was and well, maybe we'll get into it. I don't know. 222 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: I don't like it when sports writers tweet about their travels. 223 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: I feel like it's really like low. You're being paid 224 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: to go watch sports. If you've got to be delayed 225 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: for a flight from American Airlines, how dare you? It's 226 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: maybe the worst look on Twitter. Possibly and I would 227 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: never go public on Twitter, but I was in that moment. 228 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: You show it delayed eight hours in Kansas City and 229 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: a river in Kansas City airport. There's it's desolate. It's 230 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: not much. We're talking about this. I've never been. It's 231 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: very it's it's the best if you're if everything's going 232 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: right and you get there and you get on your flight, 233 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: it's easy. There's never a line. It was also nothing. 234 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: It was a hellish scene. I don't know that there's 235 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: there's probably not a Hudson News there there was there's one. 236 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: You kidding? I wish really, are you kidding? You pulling up, 237 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: can see through the glass and see the plane timing. 238 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: There's like one free Cities, not Topeka. There's one coffee 239 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: place before I'm saying I don't want to have sports 240 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: writers to complain, and I hear I am there, there's 241 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: a there's like a coffee place before you go through TSA. 242 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: And then it's just you know, it might as well 243 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: be the desert. Might you know Arabia. You know, it's 244 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: like it's just a sand, it's not there. So so 245 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: my point being, my flight's delayed three different times. I 246 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: know it's not taken off. They're saying there's engine issues. 247 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's reassuring, great, get me on the 248 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: next flight. So I'm sitting there, I'm not on the 249 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: stand by those everything's awful. And some guy comes up 250 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: to me and you know, it's in like a low 251 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: moment and I'm not losing my cool. I'm being fine. 252 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of people lose cool. It's not 253 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: a good look. And I don't consider myself a public 254 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: figure and it's not even going through my head is 255 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: my natural thing. I don't I don't yell at people 256 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: like that. Right in that situation, Kyle and Cara laughing. Yeah, 257 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: so his camel. This guy comes up to me on 258 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: his camel and who sidles up right next to me 259 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: and he says, we get a selfie. And I didn't 260 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: say hi, I'd introduce himself, and I'm like, excuse me, 261 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: and he's like, he's like, we get a selfie. I'm 262 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: gonna get and he goes. I watched the show every 263 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: morning and you guys were rock and you're funny whatever, 264 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: so it was a good and then yeah, we did 265 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: the selfie. It was great. And I hadn't shaved and 266 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: and I was wearing the same underwear thing for the 267 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: night before, so it was horrible. But Okay, the point being, 268 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: I guess the show is resonating enough, and I've just 269 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: gotta always be aware that, you know, if you're gonna 270 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: have a meltdown in an airport or if you're gonna 271 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: people are watching right. One last question for your trip 272 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: to Atlanta, because you got an all access tour to 273 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: that new stadium. Now that is unlike any other stage. 274 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: I can't believe that that their building next to Georgia 275 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: Dome is like from Cybertron. It is a decepticon that 276 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: opens up like circularly through the top. When the plans 277 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: out came out for that first rendition, you're like, that's 278 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: not going to be a stadium. There's no way that's real. 279 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: Now they show up, right, and it's in Atlanta. So Peter, 280 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: take us inside that place. Take our listeners inside that. Okay, 281 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: here's the connection, here's the whole story. Rich McKay is 282 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: the president of the Falcons who was the old general 283 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: manager of the Tamil Bay Buccaneers. He drafted John Lynch, 284 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: who was doing our game in and he's an oil sultan, right. Yeah. 285 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: So Rich McKay, who works under Arthur Blank, has been 286 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: the point person for this new stadium. It's the Mercedes 287 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: ben Studium. No one gets private tours of this thing, 288 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: like no one, And he invites John Inch, myself, Kevin Burkhart, 289 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: Mike Perera expert, Pete Matcheska, our producer, and Jacob Allman 290 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: who's our executive, to come on this too. They hand 291 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: us the hard hat and the vest. They tell us 292 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: to our hard shoes. We all show up in sneakers 293 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: and we go on this thing and it's it's a 294 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,359 Speaker 1: massive construction site. We walk in this thing is incredible. 295 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: It's not there yet. It's gonna be opening July thirtieth 296 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: for a soccer game I think is the first major event. 297 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: But we got a full access to the scoreboard. Guys. 298 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: Is unlike any scoreboard. It's not a free standing scoreboard. 299 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: It is a circular oculus. Oh my god, around the 300 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: top and it's six stories big. Imagine the high rise. 301 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: Imagine a high rise six stories Okay, so new d 302 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be. Remember when you got a forty two 303 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: inch plasma you're like yeah, and then your buddy gets 304 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: a fifty in dr Yes, she's got to re up. 305 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: So here's the story that that, like hold Away, it 306 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: wraps over, wraps around. Visually, it's not in the middle. 307 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 1: Players are going to love that it's on the side, 308 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: and then we love seeing ourselves. And they've got all 309 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: sorts of virtual reality HD cameras for the in stadium experience. 310 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna have crazy views of everything on it's not 311 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: gonna be all right. So it's this oculus, right, and 312 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: it's six stories big. That's the on field thing. It 313 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: also has an open air piece to it where it's 314 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: a retractable roof and Atlanta doesn't have that. Usually it's 315 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: just this desolate Georgia Dome where you feel like you're 316 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: playing in a spaceship. This thing's opened up. Here's the 317 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: coolest thing. And I'm not doing a commercial for the stadium. 318 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: But here's why it was sick that money's on issue. Okay, 319 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to be like Arthur Blank. Money is 320 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: not any more like Arthur Blank. Check right, No. Serious. 321 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: So he saw the Santa Clara Stadium, he saw the 322 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: Levi Stadium. It was great, Dad, Joe, mister McIntosh. Um, 323 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: so you've got you've got this amazing deal with Arthur 324 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: Blank where you know, he's seen the stadium out in 325 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco, that Jed York's, you know, built, He's seen 326 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: the Jerry World. He's seen all that, and he's like, 327 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: I want the best one. He's competitive, kay, he wants 328 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: the best one. And what they're doing is because because 329 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: they want to incorporate as many fans possible, they realized 330 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: that ticket prices aren't the issue. It's not why people 331 00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: aren't going to games. It's when you show up to 332 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: the game, you've got to spend fifteen bucks on a 333 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: coke forty dollars on a hot dog, so all hot 334 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: dogs are two dollars. Who all popcorn three dollars, all 335 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: soda three dollars. It's fillable. They're not going to try 336 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: to the circus and the fifties, and they're not trying 337 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: to make money on concessions. They're already giving that up 338 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: saying we don't care, we're gonna we're gonna make it 339 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: the best experience you can have. Genius. Just pay for 340 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: your ticket financially and you have it. And you know parking, 341 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: you pay for your parking more you pay for your ticket. 342 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: But once you're in here, we're not gonna break the 343 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: bank on you know, concession sales aramark, you know, fourteen 344 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: dollars for nachos. This may. You have a good time 345 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: to be long for concessions, they're everywhere. Oh they are good. 346 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: And the last little thing was either thing called the 347 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: Tech Lounge, which was cool. It's like in the middle 348 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: of the second floor and there's no like club access anything. 349 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: It's all over. Everyone has access to it and it's 350 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: all the TVs with the red zones and lounge chairs 351 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: and Wi Fi and as. It's awesome and it opens 352 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: next season, which is hard to conceive considering it. I 353 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: walked in there and look, I was not ready yet. 354 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: It's a construction site. They're still building where and I 355 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: mean there's a lot of work to be done, but 356 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: I thought it was it was really cool. Falcons kick 357 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: off there twenty. There's nothing better, yeah, to especially for 358 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: wide receivers, skill players, maybe even quarterbacks when they scramble. 359 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: But I mean, there's no better feeling to like break 360 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: a dude off, catch the ball and you know you 361 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: got space and you're looking up and you're seeing yourself run. 362 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: You're like pointing to the screen and then you're looking 363 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: back at the crowd and then you get to the 364 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: sideline and it's not over. Like we love us from US. 365 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, straight TiO, I'm sitting down after 366 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: we go over the notes with the coach, I'm looking 367 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: up at the screen. That's why we love Jerry's world. 368 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: When that stadium was built, because it was like the 369 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: sixty yards worth of high definition TV, and everybody's next 370 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: hurt after the game because even though we could watch 371 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: the field, I mean they have the field in real 372 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: time like real players, we wanted to watch that big 373 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: ass screen like, oh man, look at us. Look how 374 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: huge we And we kept saying like throughout the game, 375 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: as we're playing in a football game, imagine if we 376 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: were playing Madden on that, Like, you know, we're big 377 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: kids out there playing football. So yeah, I'm excited for 378 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: this Atlanta one because who that sounds like I haven't 379 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: even been to the Minnesota one. Have any nay I 380 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: want you to go and blow that big horn thing flags. Yeah, 381 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: they gotta get you blow the horn. I would love 382 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: to What was your favorite stadium to play? And as 383 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: a player, like were more into like the high tech 384 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: cool new ones are the elements of like that as 385 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: I as I got older because I'm a tech geek guy, 386 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: I wanted to experience all the high tech, you know, 387 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: cool stadiums in Jerry's world was by far the most 388 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: impressive because they had the suits that were sitting inside 389 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: the ground. They had the cheerleaders on one, Florida Go 390 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: Go dancers on another, and then a dance team separates 391 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: that you see like a little food market, and then 392 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: there's there's all these different restaurants. You walk through the 393 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: bar where people are like sitting behind the glass. So 394 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of you that feels kind of 395 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: like an animal. But then again you're like, no, no no, no, 396 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: I might be the animal. I'm the line you came 397 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: to see, so well compensation, Yeah, let's go get this 398 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: show on the road. So I did feel I felt 399 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: like it was the biggest stage, because you know, that's 400 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: what it is. It's like a big talent show to me, 401 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: and it was a big stage you can play. Aside 402 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: from all that, it was lamba, the nostalgia in the 403 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: field pulling up into the city that felt like a town, 404 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: and the people, the houses sitting just literally like yards 405 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: outside of the stadiums. One of my favorites. You can 406 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: park on the grass and I love it. Kids they're like, 407 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: come on, you need the kidneed like what? I love it. Yeah. 408 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: So those are my two favorites right there. And then 409 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: the home teams I'll play for, but that's a different field. 410 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,959 Speaker 1: But you say you love high tech stuff, you were 411 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: attached to some high tech stuff this week, and we 412 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: will get to that in a bit. But let's get 413 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: into some of these games because they are just phenomenals, 414 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: some outstanding matchups. It all sort of worked out to 415 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: give us some great football championship weekends. So let's talk 416 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: is gonna start with Packers Falcons or Stoodars Patriots. Let's 417 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: go Packers Falcons to it, all right, we're talking about 418 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: the Falcons new stadium for next year. Why not that's 419 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: the game on Fox three or five Sunday. Uh shoot out. Listen, 420 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: we keep saying shoot out, and you know, come on, no, 421 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: and it will be. It will be, but sometimes it opah. 422 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: But this this one ain't gonna it ain't gonna go opposite. 423 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: But I'll say this though. One thing I am looking 424 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: forward to it, and this is speaking to the defensive back, safeties, 425 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: even linebackers of these two teams, is that because we're 426 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: talking shoot shoot out, shootout, offensive office offense, and just 427 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: like every other network, we'll be talking about that all 428 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: week up until game day. If you're a defensive guy 429 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: and you make a play, you're gonna stand the hell out, 430 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: you know, because there's gonna be so much offensive firepower. Right. 431 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: Imagine a pick six or a strip sack fumbled for 432 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: the Packers. He stood out. He made that. Even the 433 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 1: heath who had the safety had one pick and then 434 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: he had second one. I was like, holy small, the 435 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: player of the game. Right, it stood out. So when 436 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: you see these teams that are so strong offensively, Like, 437 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: if I'm a defensive guy, it's kind of like, all right, 438 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: I might not get that many opportunities, but if I 439 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: have a chance to get my hands on the ball, 440 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: I could be the man, the man of the moment, 441 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: and you'll stand out in a big weekend, big football. 442 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like the name of the game's 443 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: gonna be keepaway, right, Keep these quarterbacks off the field. 444 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: Use that running game you talked about it, you know, 445 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: using Devanta Coleman as Bill likes to call its true 446 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: time Montgomer and give him the ball more than eleven times. 447 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: That to me is the key, because get the ball 448 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: into either of these quarterbacks the hands and they're scoring. 449 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: That was interesting. Atlanta scored on their opening drive in 450 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: seven consecutive games executive games. So if they get the 451 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: ball first and they get the ball ask, they could 452 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: easily win this. I think it's whoever has it at 453 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: the end. I mean it was last week in dast 454 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: for sure. It's interesting because we talked with us in 455 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: the show today. This is a credit to how good 456 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: these offenses are. Because Kay was saying, give the ball 457 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: the time, Monko any Moore run it, and I'm saying 458 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: I want Rogers to throw it fifty five times, like 459 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: I just try as hard as you can to score 460 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,239 Speaker 1: forty points. I don't know if they can run it, 461 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: but you're right, I don't know if it's the idea 462 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: of run, run, run, and maybe the Falcons won't get 463 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: on the field, or they're getting on and they're scoring 464 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: that offense. Is that good? Just chuck it because you 465 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: got to get the first to forty. I don't know. 466 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: Let me assue this though, Let me issue this KB. 467 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 1: You say you want Rogers to throw fifty five times, 468 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: or maybe youve Matt Ryan throw fifty five times. Would 469 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: you rather have these guys let's say go thirty seven 470 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: for fifty five or twenty for thirty. You know, like, 471 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: would you would you rather? I want him to go 472 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: forty six for fifty five? Yeah? You know, to do right? 473 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: That's fact. The Steph Curry numbers like the most ideal thing. 474 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: I think we all will want that. But the only 475 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: problem I have with throwing so many times is that 476 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,239 Speaker 1: in accuracy starts to creep in and arm fatigue. Like 477 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: I like it when these guys are crazy efficient and 478 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: the big plays offensively from the wide receiver. Stand out Ryan, 479 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: because Peter Schrager nailed it on the show. They're going 480 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: to score thirty point. And I think Matt Ryan's the 481 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: most interesting character of this weekend because we know Rogers's legacy, 482 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: we know Roethlisberger, we know Brady Surprising when Joe Flacco 483 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: is trying to like bang on that door and beat 484 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: Peyton and beat Brady and he did that one year, 485 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: Like you got to do it. You've got to take 486 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: him on head on. He's beating Russell Wilson in the playoffs. 487 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: Now he's got to get through this guy. And Rogers 488 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: is one heck of this guy, right, I mean, this 489 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: is this is not any task. And we met with 490 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: Ryan on Thursday and he said, you know, I took 491 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: a trip to Miami too, and we all started laughing 492 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: ha ha, and he's like, no, but it was me, 493 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: it was Julio, it was uh s New. We all 494 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: spent a week together in the off season in Miami 495 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: and just kind of got it down and like got 496 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: chemistry going, and it made me think, like all right 497 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: on a boat joking and it was We're like, ay, sure, 498 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: he's no. My shirt was on um. But this team, 499 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: they knew like they were gonna be good this year. 500 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: And they lost Week one to the Buccaneers at home. 501 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: I think everyone jumped ship and was like, yeah, this 502 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: team sucks. Same old Falcons. They are very confident team, 503 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: and people were hanging off the boat even when they 504 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: were hot because they were thinking same old Falcons. And 505 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: nobody was really sold up until I would say about 506 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: week how about this, how about the Seahawks. Uh, the 507 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: Falcons win the toss and decided to defer to get 508 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, the Seahawks get the ball first, 509 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: and you've that offense. Usually you'd say, all right, let's 510 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: get out here. I'll just score. The Seahawks went on 511 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: a fourteen play, eighty eight minute drive to open the game, 512 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: and just the blood and the air of everything, and 513 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: I thought that might have been I was about to 514 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: jump ship there and be like, oh my god. There 515 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: were freezing cold takes on Twitter at that point. Oh God, 516 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: like what do you do? And they just they went 517 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: right back and they answered every time. They scored almost 518 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: every possession. They were so good on Saturday. But I 519 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: don't know how the Packers can keep up. We've seen 520 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: Mattie Ice like catch Fire before we've seen we've seen 521 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan played well before, but there's something different about 522 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: his comfort level within this system that Kyle Shannan's running. 523 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: When you look at him, and I think we showed 524 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: a piece last week with him and Kyl Shannon's sitting together, 525 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: he looks comfortable, like he looks really you are really 526 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: taken by that. I remember sitting next to you watching 527 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: you watched them too together. It was a Mike Silver 528 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: piece where they were just watching film, Kyle and matt 529 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: and going over film together, right and Nature said, look 530 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: at them, look at them. Matt Ryan doesn't want him 531 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: to go anywhere. I remember that, And that's that's a 532 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: big deal because having comfort within your you know your system, 533 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: but having comfort with your coordinator, it's like the last 534 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: thing you have to worry about. We've seen inconsistencies at 535 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: the quarterback position because some of these qbs, to be honest, 536 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: they just don't quite have the package down. They don't 537 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: quite have the play in so that they either don't 538 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: buy in or it just time hasn't set in enough 539 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: to where they know it like the back of their hand. 540 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: To Peter's point, the life sucked out of the stadium. 541 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: Long drive. Looks like Seattle's going to run away with 542 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 1: this thing. Matt Ryan says, not like, I know my system. 543 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: I know my guys. Hey guys, let's get back on 544 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: the field. Let's just do what we do. There's no panic, 545 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: like they're running that offense like you know, fluid. So 546 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm excited because Aaron Rodgers has been in that zone 547 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: for and full of years. So this is this is 548 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: where the heads meet. One question for Peters. You've you've 549 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: spent time with this team a lot this season. Kyle 550 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: brings up a great point on the show. But I 551 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: want to see like aggressive, like some attitude out of that. 552 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: That's what do they I want to see a little 553 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes with my Atlanta Falcons. You know what I'm saying, 554 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: A little Dan, I understand what you're saying, but like 555 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: Rams won a Super Bowl in ninety nine, and I 556 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: don't know if you remember their defensive Dray Bligh and 557 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: you know Grant Winstrom. Like this is an offensive team, 558 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: and an offensive team is going to pound you with 559 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: the run, which they do, and they've got a guy 560 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: number twenty two, Keyan O'Neill, who is an absolute assassin 561 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: at safety. I don't know. Somebody YouTube Keyan O'Neil and 562 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: Mike Evans hit. It's insane. I mean it's a great, 563 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: great hit. Go find his Willie Sneed hit week seventeen. 564 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: I don't think Willie sneeds walking. Okay, by the way, 565 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 1: he had Derreck Henry in college. Find that one too, 566 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: because the twenty two and twenty four right, twenty two 567 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: on defense and then he runs so angry KB talk 568 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: about all the time, and we see him run and 569 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: as we read, we get so excited. Yeah, there's there's 570 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: like there's really strong runners and good runners, and then 571 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: there's like a very unique class of running backs that 572 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: they're the angry runner. Well, my favorite ever of this 573 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: era at least has been Ahmad Bradshaw, who was very 574 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: little and very angry, and when he got to the 575 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: end zone he was almost like pissed off and he 576 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: jump in, he jump in spike between his legs like 577 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't categorize Lady on Bell as good as he 578 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: is is not an angry runner's not. But Marshawn tor 579 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: Freeman is a furious runner. Furious. Yeah, you're like, dude, 580 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: come down, and then he's like no, like he gets 581 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: gets the endzone and it's not hugs and dancing. It's 582 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: almost like he's coming down from this rage. It's my 583 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: favorite type of running back. So I love DeVante because 584 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman is not angry. He's talented, he looks like 585 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: a track star. But then you give it to that 586 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: little ball of hate where in number twenty four and 587 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: it's like he's gonna hurt somebody. I love This team 588 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: runs the dan quinn Off defense, which is the same 589 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: thing that Legion of booms around forever, and I was 590 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: in their facility at eight am. I was on our 591 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: show on Thursday telling you they're blasting rage against machine 592 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: killing in the name of on loop at eight am, 593 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: shaking the lockers, going now, there's a lot of edge there. 594 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,239 Speaker 1: There is something to the phrase that's been mentioned at 595 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: this table is the same old Falcons, and we've been 596 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: talking about that all season. Especially in me, there's something 597 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: institutional that I look at them as it's hard for me. 598 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: Growing up, Diana was my idol. My whole room was Falcons. 599 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: I used to draw the Falcon's logo on my notebook 600 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: and class. I love the Falcons. But as a fan, 601 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: if you're listening now, they have a reputation and it's 602 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: almost like they're the NFC chiefs, like they're gonna be 603 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: there and then they're gonna do something asked, whether it's 604 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: miss a field goal or what have you. They're gonna 605 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: not gonna make that last step. Now I've started to 606 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: come around. I was gonna say they disapproved all of them. 607 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: I've come around because because that that game showed me 608 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: a lot. They were that girlfriend, Kyle, they were that girlfriend, 609 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: and we've talked about that. They showed up to meet 610 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: the parents and they did everything right. They brought the present, 611 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: they did the dishes, they had pleasant conversation, complimented your mom. 612 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: And my favorite part about that Ka is they can 613 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: also get a little nasty. Everyone went to bed, They 614 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: creeped down the hallway into your room. You know, they 615 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: did that type of thing. I'm looking for more about 616 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying it there, of course, but that's 617 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: what you know, We're gonna do. The show before seems 618 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: like a badass. He's a man, the man. Nice guy. Yeah, 619 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: nice guy, the man. But like I think the Falcons 620 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: have the edge of this game. I honestly do too. 621 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: But he's so good number twelve, and that's why I'm 622 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: so excited. Okay, because so great. But if Adams is 623 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: being up, if they don't have Nelson, hasn't stopped to me, 624 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: their run game isn't there. What would you can he 625 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 1: compete with the firepower of the Falcon? Those shots on 626 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: a little bad, I know, I agree. I listen as 627 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: good as Rogers is like. We don't do a lot 628 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: of predictions around here. I like the Falcons in this guy. 629 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: I think the Falcons are going to the Super Bowls 630 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: gonna be close. The only thing is if we go 631 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: to super Bowl, this sounds so silly, and the Falcons 632 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: fans here in might burn arc pocket. It's the pocket. 633 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: The super Bowl is a different feel. The super Bowl 634 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: might might have a different feel. If it's the Packers 635 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: with Rogers versus Brady's the Ultimate, then then the Falcons. Yea, 636 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: it shouldn't matter, but I remember when the Ravens are 637 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: playing the Patriots. Yes it matters. You want Rogers and Brady, 638 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: you want who's the best quarterback? Who is the best 639 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: this one or that one? And Matt Ryan can make 640 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: the argument, but it's just not. He's not in the 641 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: same conversation that Connor to be. No, come on, you 642 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: want the best two teams no matter what. But we 643 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: in the media can get cut up in that. If 644 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: you're sitting at home, you ask, screw Brady. We've seen 645 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: him enough times never around Rogers. Is there a new 646 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: England fatigue? Maybe a little bit. No, I want Brady 647 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: against Rogers. If it's Brady against Matt Ryan, I won't 648 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: be nearly as excited. You don't think so. No, take 649 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: that the way Cage just said, right the Falcon, But 650 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: it's not It's not about It's not about Brady versus 651 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. It's about explosion in a super Bowl. You 652 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: want to see You want to playmaker Julio Jones and 653 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: super Bowl is pretty cool. Jordy's out, Like Jordy is 654 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: the best receiver, and DeVante's banked up. You want to 655 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: see the Packers go in with a few other weapons 656 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: could be, but he's broken ribs. You take one of 657 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: hit them broken ribs. Jordy's gonna sit his ass back 658 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: back on the sideline. That means I'd rather have five days. Okay, 659 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about Jordy Jordy Nelson's ribs. Yeah, 660 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: I'd rather have an about is Rogers a better quarterback 661 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: than Tom Brady? What? What would a win I think 662 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl in Houston over Tom brady legacy. 663 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: That's fine, But I don't think I think I don't think. 664 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: I don't think they would bring up that. I think 665 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: I think that everybody already agrees that Tom Brady is 666 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: the best quarterback. Not at all. What we've had this 667 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: argument nat. So he's saying Rogers beats Brady of the 668 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:07,719 Speaker 1: game if he gets a second sup. This is bargument. 669 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: So after Lebron won two rings, was he in the 670 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: conversation of Jordan? Not Lebron had to win Fordham? Thanks 671 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: for he'd even consider him to be as good as 672 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: Jordan's magic. Rogers has a long way to go. The 673 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: for me, the most entertaining thing isn't the quarterback conversation. 674 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: It is explosion on offense. That's what al makes a 675 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: fun SUP both from him. Sorry, did you see the 676 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: pass to Jared Cook? Did you see it? Do you 677 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: need me to? But you're talking about Richie Rodgers, Cook, 678 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: Cobb and maybe Adams Jerna Willison versus Mohammedan Knew, Julio Jones, 679 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel, DeVonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman. Like it's a different group. Now, 680 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'd rather see one over the other. 681 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you can't knock Atlanta because that could 682 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: beat I'm not equally equally ability or loaded offense. I'm 683 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: knocking it because it's Matt Ryan Rogers. Sound like that 684 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: from a storyline perspective. As a player, I want to 685 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: see highlights Ryan beats Tom Brady, it's a great underdog 686 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: story way to go. But if Rogers beats him, it's man, 687 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: is he better than Brady? There's a cool astimation. Yeah, 688 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: there's a cool aspect of this. Of either way, you 689 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: can do it, but you do all the matchups. I 690 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: remember always I used to do an article for Fox 691 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: where I would rank the best Super Bowl matchups starting 692 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: at the conference championship. So you've got so many different permutations, right, 693 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: I think Steelers Falcons does not as much interest as Steelers. 694 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: Maybe Packers, and then you go Packers versus Patriots is awesome? 695 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: Is Patriots vers Falcons awesome? Yeah? I think it is. 696 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: It would be a great game. All of them would 697 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: be great games. And then there's you know this this 698 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: wildcard possibility of just Rogers and Brady, and you're like, 699 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: that's amazing. Let's move on to that Brady game, a 700 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: Brady Roethlisberger. This isn't gonna be a great one. And 701 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm most excited to see Levan Bill because he's just 702 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: ridiculous and he's so fun to watch and I could 703 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: watch highlights of him for three It's like he stops 704 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: and he like takes out his iPhone and downloads ways 705 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, which ways ways? Telling me to 706 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: go Should I go through this lane on my left 707 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: or should I go to the right. There's a traffic 708 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: jam in the game. Maybe I should check map quest first, 709 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: and then he goes It's unbelievable and as a running back, 710 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: the best, Kyle, it is the best. Well, here's what 711 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: we talked about him is lebian Bell shows some huge 712 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: balls and comes out and says, I am changing the game, 713 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: which is like, Curry, right, I won one playoff, I'm 714 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: gonna come out I changed the game. And the funny 715 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: thing is I think he might be changing in the game. 716 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean, and the other thing I like about that 717 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: is he says that, And if you're gonna say you're 718 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: changing the sport, you better come out and have a 719 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: massive game. And he did again, back to back, back 720 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: to back, And we talked about this in the show. 721 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: If you're listening, you played some high school football or 722 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, you know that after they teach 723 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: you how to put on your pads, like where your 724 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: knee pads go and your hit pads, they teach you 725 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: hit the hole. That's all you need. Don't hit the 726 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: hole never hes all right? And then it changed again. 727 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: Then the zone blocking thing came around, and what did 728 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: you always here? One cut and go one cut and 729 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: go that Terrell Davis, one cut and go Lebians twelve 730 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: cuts and wait and then go to the map quest 731 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: and the Thomas Guide and then go he should be 732 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: tackled for a loss every single time. That's not the 733 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: way you play the sport. So I think he is changing, 734 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: but they keep saying that they're gonna even start teaching 735 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: this in high school. Can you teach something individuals? Mike 736 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: Tomlin was up at Michigan State scouting Kirk Cousins, and 737 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: he was watching a practice and saw Bell not even 738 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: knowing him, it was like, holy way. Yeah, so that 739 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: goes back a long time. You know, you think, like 740 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: Arian Foster, that's good. This is totally different. Yeah, And 741 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: it's your question, kay, if if you're a younger football player, 742 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: don't try to do what he does, don't shoot forty 743 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: footers like Steph Curry, and don't wait around on the 744 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: backfield like your line is not good enough and you're 745 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: not good enough. I agree with you. I don't believe 746 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: he's changing the game in that sense, but I do 747 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: feel like he's changing the way coaches will teach individual 748 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: players because kV. You know, like I was always a strider, 749 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: Like I wasn't the four two guy, Like I had 750 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: decent speed, so I had to be very efficient in 751 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: my route running. I couldn't be the blazer that can 752 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: just run past you. But when it comes to running backs, 753 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: it's the same thing. You got. The guy has good 754 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: vision and he could hit the hole and he can 755 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: stride away from a guy. But then you have the speedster. 756 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: If he gets a little bit daylight, he can go, 757 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: but he has to get in that hole first. I 758 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: feel like now coaches are going to like coach guys differently. 759 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: You might have a guy that's downhill and say, you 760 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: know what, when you get the ball to cross the street, yeah, yeah, 761 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: go to yeah, go exactly where we're supposed to tell 762 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: you to go. But then there's other guys's like, you 763 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,760 Speaker 1: know what, you have enough speed and explosion. You can hesitate, 764 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: let it develop in front of you. Watch some Leavy 765 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: on Bill film. Now, if you can master the art 766 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: of figuring out when that hole opens up, then you'll 767 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: be really good. But I think coaches will coach different 768 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: I don't know if players are gonna be able to 769 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: do it because you need that toolbox. Yeah, the patience thing. 770 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: We laugh about how often they say patience with him. 771 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: It's a bingo board on JAMFB. But I will say, 772 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: when you get the ball, there's a clock in your head, 773 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: just like a quarter. For sure, you're like, I gotta go, 774 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: I gotta go. The hole doesn't care about the closing 775 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: and guy streak out. They just run into a pot. 776 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: Can't imagine doing it any other one. Did you watch 777 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley this year? He just runs into the back 778 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: of his office exactly exactly right. He doesn't wait, Okay, 779 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: the bell thing is awesome. We can talk about it, 780 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: but let's go to the Antonio Brown video, because I 781 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: want to hear everyone's thoughts unfiltered, not on television, not 782 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: on the league now at work at the moment. But 783 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: there's so many ways to unwrap this than that. What 784 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: is he thinking that's my whole thing? He's harder than that. 785 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I thought because I saw him 786 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: in the pregame. He's doing all this stuff, to dancing, 787 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: all this stuff, and I look at it and I 788 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: was like, he had this scripted before. He was like, 789 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it's gonna be about me. I'm gonna 790 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: brand myself. I'm gonna be it's it's my night. And 791 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: the postgame lock room he is making funny faces. But 792 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: meanwhile Tom's getting a very very candid, unfiltered speech, not 793 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: for the cameras, right, and he's and he's posting it 794 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: and people are tweeting Nate. I guess we went through 795 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: this with Odell and all those guys. But like, I 796 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: think we're gonna go through this a lot. It's just 797 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: it's just the norm now, Like, and he's good enough, 798 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: where what are you gonna do about it? Right? I 799 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: think that's why also they're gonna hit him hard. I 800 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: think it's it's hard to dissuade people from doing it 801 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 1: because they can't have it. Yea, he is the league 802 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: is gonna come down on Antono because when I finished 803 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 1: in thirteen, that's when they brought the social media rules 804 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: into place. Is saying listen, you gotta you gotta wait 805 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: at least an hour after the game. You can't tweet 806 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: up to two hours before, none during the game. So 807 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: we were very clear that we weren't supposed to the 808 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: team the league. In certain teams you couldn't even use 809 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: your phone inside the facility. I don't know how it 810 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: was with New England, but from what I heard, there's 811 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: on worktime you couldn't tweet or use social media. So 812 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,760 Speaker 1: I feel like with the new era athlete, these guys 813 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: coming in with five hundred thousand followers, I mean, they're 814 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: absolute stars by the ton they leave high school and 815 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 1: then they come to the league and you're a million 816 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: followers and people wanting and waiting and theming for every 817 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: single moment of your life. You almost have to give 818 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,959 Speaker 1: it to him because you're addicted. You're addicted to the field, 819 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: you're addicted to the stage. You're addicted to the praise. 820 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: The league is gonna have to come down hard and 821 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 1: really kind of detert these guys from doing that because 822 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: it's not something that they can help. And I know 823 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: it sounds like I'm I'm, you know, making an excuse 824 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: for him, but no, no, you gotta understand. Like, just 825 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: imagine when you're walking down the street and somebody says, hey, 826 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: you look nice today. That's a nice hair cut. Wow, 827 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: that's a nice suit. Look at those heels. You're gorgeous. 828 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: Now imagine twenty people saying that to you when you 829 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: Facebook live or Instagram live, or you do a story 830 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,919 Speaker 1: on your on your social media. That's that's hard. Hard 831 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: for me to relate because I'm a very private person, 832 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: but I am of their generation. I can compare it 833 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: to this. I got a cell phone when I was 834 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: really young, and we couldn't bring them to school, We 835 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: couldn't have him at school, but I would bring mine 836 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: to school or sneak it in or do whatever. And 837 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 1: it was if you have it, keep it in your backpack. 838 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: I had mine in my desk, of course, and I 839 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: had mine on Vibrate and I had mine or whatever, 840 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: and I will no no no. I would extend my 841 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: stupid text but it's not even no no no that 842 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: makes me want to do But I would push the 843 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: envelope and try to not cross the line and until 844 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 1: my phone rang out loud in the middle of class 845 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: and I got detention, And then I just had always 846 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: had it on me because it is addictive. Texting was 847 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: so addictive back then. I think that's what social media 848 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,959 Speaker 1: is to them. So I think they'll do it until 849 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,359 Speaker 1: somebody does sort of drop the hammer on them, and 850 00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,919 Speaker 1: then we're going to be dealing with this. I think 851 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: a lot moving forward. It was the first time I 852 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: think this the Odell thing. I didn't really I got it, 853 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: but I didn't get it. But with Antonio Brown and 854 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: just this happening over and over again, I'm like, am 855 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: I so removed from from? Like I don't really brand myself. 856 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: I guess, but it's like, I don't know. I feel like, 857 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: how can they be that thirsty for this all the time, 858 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: where you can't wait an hour to get on the bus, 859 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: wait till you get on the bus right or being 860 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: on a spot. Yeah, I had a thought. It is 861 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: I don't get it. It's it felt sort of watershed 862 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: for me, like a moment when this is the social 863 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: that we're gonna take in the next jump. And I 864 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: don't know what the numbers are for Antonio, that's a 865 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: great way to articulation. Yeah, Like, I don't know how 866 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: many followers he got from this stunt. He's gonna get 867 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: fined or whatever. But let's let's go forward. Where could 868 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: this go? All right? I had a thought, So, Nate, 869 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: you're talking about wide receivers, how much they like looking 870 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: at songs on the JumboTron, and you're celebrating everything. All right, 871 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 1: member TiO took the sharpie out of the sock. What 872 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: if you had a player who had a lot of 873 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: money and said, whatever, I just take the fine. What 874 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: if someone took a phone out of their sock in 875 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: the end zone and live streamed it. What if they 876 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: did it at the end of a play. Could be 877 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 1: the biggest thing of all time, of all time, over kettle, 878 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: if you right? If somebody like an Tonio Brown, someone 879 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: who has the balls, was little nuts Kelsey maybe Joe hornstyle, 880 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: Joe hornstyle, except it was actually a smartphone and as 881 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: they're crossing the ten five yard line, took the phone 882 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: out and started streaming, and they went live stream. It 883 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: would be the biggest they ever seen in NFL the media, 884 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: and by the way, I'm like, we're that far from that. 885 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 1: And whether it doesn't matter if they get fine, if 886 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: they get in trouble for it, someone's gonna do it 887 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 1: because the juice will be working. Just gave somebody the 888 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowls celebration. I did what if they did in 889 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. That's what I'm talking about. If it's 890 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: Eli Rogers or Marcus Wheaton, or if it's uh was 891 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: name Kobe Hamilt. They asked some other guy, what if 892 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: one of those receivers did this? Are they cut like 893 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: or is it just because well, what does Mike Tomlin do? 894 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: So Ike Taylor aunt, I think it was total you 895 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: know Steeler right right? So he said that, you know, 896 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: Tom's probably gonna ban them from having phones in the 897 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: facility or in meetings or wherever they are. Can you 898 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: do I mean, can you last night? Yeah? He said 899 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: the same thing. You know, I feel like this. You know, 900 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: I'll give you the player's perspective, and this is what 901 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: players are going to say. I know how they think, 902 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: and I know how they argue. They'll say this, Well, 903 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: I mean, NFL they stream everything on all these different 904 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: platforms anyway, So how how can they do it? Why 905 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: do they Why do they get to promote the game 906 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: and promote me and my brand and make money off 907 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 1: of me when I can't go in the locker room. 908 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: But but they're streaming the games live on Twitter and 909 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: they're they're all these different platforms. But you're telling me 910 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: that I can't be my own TV, I can't be 911 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: my own platform, I can't be my own brand. I'm 912 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,879 Speaker 1: the one that's on the field. Pay you a lot 913 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,319 Speaker 1: of money to play football, Nate. That's I know. I'm 914 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: just telling you how. It's a life response and forget 915 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,399 Speaker 1: forget that. Just say this. The rules say, keep your 916 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,280 Speaker 1: phone in your bag unless you're talking to family or friends. 917 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: Don't live stream or tweet. It's hard because your phone 918 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 1: is Imagine, they just want a playoff game. His phone 919 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: is I say, body's talking to his phone? Is like, 920 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 1: you can't get back to the locker room and you 921 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: turn your phone. So fun to track your phone in 922 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: a drug Listen if you've been on a plane when 923 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: you're sitting there on the tarmac and they're like, don't 924 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,959 Speaker 1: use your phone. You're using your phone. I remember, like, 925 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: like I said, I had a cell phone, I bring 926 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: it into school. Whatever. Now, now, what are the rules 927 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: at schools? You can have your cell phone, right, you 928 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: can have it on. I don't know from Okay, but 929 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: but I'm sure the rules have changed. So does the 930 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: NFL maybe have to adjust to the fact that this 931 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: is the new reality. I think in that case it 932 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: kind of spilled over into Thomas saying something that maybe 933 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: he didn't want the Patriots to hear. But then there's 934 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 1: another situation where the Oakland Raiders made the playoffs for 935 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: the first time, and I just so happened to be 936 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: on Instagram and Michael Crabtrees live stream came up. They 937 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: said crab Trees going live, so I clicked on it 938 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: and I'm watching him celebrate immediately after the game. So 939 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: cool TV to the phone. I was so excited. Yeah, 940 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: and I don't get excited a lot, but I wanted 941 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: to be in the locker room and I just sat 942 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: there quietly and I'm looking at his numbers rising. It 943 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: goes from like five hundred to a thousand and two 944 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: thousan three thousand and four thousand, and just people just 945 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: sitting on enjoying the Imagine Steeler fans watching Antonio Brown. 946 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: They must have been so obsessive. They got to find 947 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,439 Speaker 1: a balance because you can't pull it away from the player, 948 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: because the moment you pull away from the player, you're 949 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: also stripping something from the fans. Tomlin, if Tomlin didn't 950 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 1: say all that stuff on the Facebook lives this even 951 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: the story, not at all. Even then he said that 952 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: who cares? What is this bulletin board to hear that? 953 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:24,720 Speaker 1: Who cares? Well? The Patriots care, Like, no, they don't listen. 954 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: If I'm if I'm going if if I'm playing KB 955 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: one on one, if I'm playing Coyle one on one 956 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: in basketball, and I know he's going to be ultra competitive, 957 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: Like I see it in his eyes. He's an athlete. 958 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: I'm an athlete. But I hear him talking to his 959 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: friend behind a closed door in his office and he 960 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 1: doesn't know him outside, and he's like, I can't wait 961 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: to get nail on the court. I'm gonna kick his ass. 962 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: He don't know he's messing with. I got something for him. 963 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: I got something for him, I got something him. I'm 964 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 1: ready for him on Monday instead of me going into 965 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: game like, all right, I already know I wanted to win, 966 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: But damn, that's how he looks at me. It's a 967 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: different added motivation. Knows what Snapchat, Instagram mark, He knows 968 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: that Tomon's telling him players don't want to hear other 969 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: coaches or player it's all you know, guys played tough. 970 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: Keep my name out of your mouth. That's what it is. Yeah, Like, 971 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: come on, man, don't I already know you want to win? 972 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: I get it, But now you're talking about you. What's 973 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: you got, Tomlin? What I think you got? Just as 974 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 1: big of a Dealmon is saying, guys, we're gonna go 975 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: play the Patriots. I guarantee a great game. It's the 976 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: same thing because Antonio Brown's a breaking the rules, right, 977 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: being not really tuned into what his coach is saying. Right, 978 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,319 Speaker 1: I'll I'll tell you how much what Tomlins wasn't gonna 979 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: matter in bullets and boar material. If the Steelers win, 980 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna reference it. I say, well, our coach says 981 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: something we had his back. If the Patriots win, somebody's 982 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: gonna reference it. And the Patriots do it in more 983 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: of a subtle way, but they'll say, hey, well, you know, 984 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 1: coach said they have something for him, something for us. 985 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: I guess we had something for them, I guarantee. I 986 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: think the more interesting thing was that Tomlin was kind 987 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: of saying in the NFL, why is this game being postponed? 988 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,399 Speaker 1: Like he said, this team has a Saturday night game, 989 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots, we had our game postponed and the weather 990 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 1: was not worthy of necessarily in the hindsight. And that 991 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 1: was more of my thing. He was coming out against 992 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: the NFL saying, look, the NFL is kind of stacking 993 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: the chips here, and we have it up against us 994 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 1: that they postpone this game and they had us on 995 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: a Sunday night getting home at four in the morning. Meanwhile, 996 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,879 Speaker 1: the Patris have been in their own bed since eight 997 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,399 Speaker 1: pm on Saturday night. That to me, what was what 998 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 1: makes a little too He's questioned the league and he 999 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: has a valid point. He has a valid point. His 1000 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: guys have a little bit over tougher role. But guess 1001 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: what Steelers are built for that. Look at James Harrison 1002 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: is he's so mad at Antonio Brown. Tom that's his boy, 1003 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 1: that's his guy. I just think moving forward, every time 1004 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: he speaks now is everybody's phone off, You put on 1005 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: the table like you gotta be worried. Now the big brothers, 1006 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 1: don't you have to be worried. I'll pop up on 1007 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: Instagram live now in the middle of a commercial break. 1008 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: You do the same thing, like we we warn each other. 1009 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: I guess, But what a world, guys? Um anything else 1010 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: on this game? Steelers Pats? Who can run the ball? 1011 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 1: Who can run the ball? And we know we know 1012 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: that the Steelers can run steel Steers are gonna run 1013 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 1: it with Levion. The question is what are the Patris 1014 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: going to do? How are they going to find that balance? 1015 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: They take out I don't think they take out anybody. 1016 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,720 Speaker 1: I think they utilize on both. No, who did the Patriots? 1017 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 1: You know, Belichick's famous for taking away your test happen. 1018 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: So you're taking out Antonio Brown. You trying to slow downs. 1019 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: It's a pick your poison. And I don't feel like 1020 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 1: I don't I don't. I feel like you don't focus 1021 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 1: on taking out both and Kansas City tried to do that. 1022 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 1: Even though Ladon had a crazy game, they took him 1023 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 1: out of the end zone. Ab and Lavion didn't get in. 1024 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: So you just try to slow them down. You don't 1025 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: go in and saying I have to stop one guy, 1026 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 1: because that's when the other guy torches you. We've seen 1027 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: that this year. We're watching up Steelers and we're like, oh, 1028 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 1: looks like ABS not really getting going. Here's Ladion having 1029 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 1: a video game like game. And then you see another 1030 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: game it's like Labion's having a slow start. Oh, I 1031 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: didn't even realize AB has two touchdowns in the first quarter. 1032 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 1: So just focus on trying to slow them down, versus 1033 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: shifting all your attention on one guy, which is tough. 1034 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,439 Speaker 1: The guy I'm looking at, Big Ben on the road, 1035 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: steps up on the show today. He doesn't. He doesn't 1036 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: play well outside of home. It was nine to nine, right, 1037 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: it's ugly. Interception sounds at arrowhead. How does that happen? 1038 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 1: You know he has more pieces now, so we'll see 1039 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: how happy. I mean, I don't want to stay happy. 1040 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 1: But there was a chance that CBS had Texans Versus 1041 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 1: Chief Safety Championship and said, you get Ben Roethlisberger and 1042 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. It worked out pretty good for those guys. 1043 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 1: Sunday night under the lights in Foxborough. I mean, guys, 1044 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 1: I don't get geeked often that I am so geeked 1045 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,799 Speaker 1: up for Sunday afternoon and into Sunday night. I think 1046 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,720 Speaker 1: they're too amazing. You know, it's crazy about we should 1047 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 1: go we should go crazy. You could buy a Delta 1048 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,839 Speaker 1: shuttle flight for ninety bucks and get there. I only 1049 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: played in one NFC Championship game, and I had anxiety. 1050 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: Was playing it up against the Philadelphia Eagles and they 1051 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 1: had t O and McNab curses. It's like these guys 1052 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: are beasts, right, Jeremiah Trotter Yep, yep, and they beat 1053 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 1: us and I never got back to that point. So 1054 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: leading up until that game, I'm a super fan. I 1055 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 1: get giddy, like you get real giddy. I get excited. 1056 00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 1: Oh it's gonna be a good one's gonna be going 1057 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,800 Speaker 1: with When I get to the NFC Championship game. In 1058 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: ANFC Championship game, they're really nervous, really nervous, almost like 1059 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm playing again because the teams are so good. It's 1060 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 1: so close. This is like it's so close, and I 1061 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 1: feel I feel for these guys because the teams are 1062 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 1: so good and it can go either way. So I'm 1063 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,280 Speaker 1: not as a fan, I'm like, oh, I'm in different 1064 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 1: whoever it goes, they all they all desert. No no no, no, no. 1065 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,439 Speaker 1: Now the next two teams will find themselves in Super 1066 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,239 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty one, and I can't even find the heart 1067 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: to like choose and have a favorite. So I'm nervous 1068 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 1: watching these games, like I'm that guy standing in the 1069 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 1: kitchen looking sidide because I don't want to send directly 1070 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 1: in front of team all of them. Yeah, they're all 1071 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: playing hot. One of the crazy things about the NFL 1072 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 1: is that they there's an operations team for each team, 1073 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: so like you've got like five people who work on 1074 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 1: logistics hotels, and the NFL does this thing where this 1075 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,359 Speaker 1: week before the championship game, they'll send out both the 1076 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 1: Atlanta operations team and the Green Bay one and they'll 1077 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: do site visits of the Super Bowl and they've got 1078 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: to see where their team hotel is going to be 1079 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 1: in the best route. And it's like, can you imagine 1080 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: going on that visit, dagger, And then you don't get 1081 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: to go like you taste it, like you taste it. 1082 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,240 Speaker 1: But the NFL has to do that because all logistics 1083 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: and so like ten people will go and they'll walk 1084 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: the paces of doing advance work for a Super Bowl 1085 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,319 Speaker 1: week or covering the team. Like I was looking at 1086 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,080 Speaker 1: like Jane Slater, what a sad tweet? Right, like, but 1087 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 1: she crushed it for us, and I thought about it 1088 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 1: when they lost, because she's doing the pregame. You know, 1089 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,959 Speaker 1: she was on a noth the network all day crushing it, 1090 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: and she was on our shot quite a bit, and 1091 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: I was like, this is a rookie year. There. It's 1092 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: the first year she walked into a great team with 1093 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 1: a great story, with a great locker room. And it's over. 1094 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 1: She had a great rookie year. It's just like Dack 1095 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 1: and Zeke. She's a third and she I felt like 1096 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,240 Speaker 1: she got eliminated, and you know, we kissed off everyone 1097 00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 1: and said oh goodbye, like the by tech we should 1098 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: have change. And then I was gonna say I was 1099 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 1: in Kansas City and I see a DD and I'm 1100 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: like watching her and I'm telling her how great she is. 1101 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: A DD goes on, all right, let's wrap it up 1102 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 1: with the Gatorade chronicles. Yeah, So I went out to Tampa. 1103 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:02,279 Speaker 1: I flew into me with the Gatorade people in their 1104 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: headquarters at IMG, which is like this huge compound in 1105 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,799 Speaker 1: Sara Soda, Florida, and they strapped me up to a 1106 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,320 Speaker 1: breathing apparatus at the treadmill. They took my oxygen levels 1107 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,920 Speaker 1: and carbon dioxide levels, and they try to figure out 1108 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,720 Speaker 1: how many carbo hydrates and fat I burned during the workout. 1109 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 1: That is my nightmn, my god. Then they went out 1110 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 1: on the field and I had this custom Burlison New 1111 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 1: GX Gatorade bottle system where it lit up little lights 1112 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: basically telling me how much I drank or if I'm 1113 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 1: not drinking enough so when I got thirsty or run over, 1114 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,839 Speaker 1: and it would show me where I was at. So 1115 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: basically the testing showed what I needed to drink and 1116 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 1: how much exactly I need to drink to maintain the 1117 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 1: perfect level of hydration, which is absolutely crazy. The bandmasks, well, 1118 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,240 Speaker 1: I've learned that, like, I burned a blend of both 1119 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: during my workout, carbo hydrates and fats, and that I'm 1120 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,440 Speaker 1: still shape a milkshake right now. So it seems like 1121 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 1: everything worked out like an actual actual practice and it 1122 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 1: felt good because I haven't ran and caught balls in 1123 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 1: a while, so they threw me like thirty balls. I 1124 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 1: caught thirty balls, and you know that they clapped afterwards 1125 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,319 Speaker 1: you're gonna be some content now you caught thirty thirty. Yeah, 1126 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 1: they think I had a nice one hander, which is 1127 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: crazy because after I caught it, you know, I'm feeling 1128 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 1: good and like a typical receiver, I'm waiting to see 1129 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 1: if anybody really really noticed. There's like twenty people out there, 1130 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 1: and then you hear one guy say that's it. That's 1131 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: the one we're gonna show. It was good stuff, man. 1132 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it so great, great weekend.
