Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm having a blast. You get to work

18
00:00:56,468 --> 00:00:58,748
Speaker 2: without Iron Eagle whenever you get that opportunity. It's just,

19
00:00:58,788 --> 00:01:01,228
Speaker 2: I mean, guys, a legend. What a loser Iron Eagle is?

20
00:01:01,388 --> 00:01:02,028
Speaker 4: What a loser?

21
00:01:02,108 --> 00:01:03,548
Speaker 5: What a loser? Iron Eagles?

22
00:01:03,548 --> 00:01:05,348
Speaker 1: His son gets to do an NFL playoff getting on

23
00:01:05,388 --> 00:01:08,388
Speaker 1: TV and he's got to do radio with Jason McCarty.

24
00:01:08,708 --> 00:01:12,548
Speaker 5: Iron Eagles star was soaring. I don't know if he

25
00:01:12,588 --> 00:01:13,308
Speaker 5: needs new agents.

26
00:01:13,308 --> 00:01:14,068
Speaker 2: I don't know if he needs.

27
00:01:14,348 --> 00:01:16,908
Speaker 1: Iron Eagle doing radio with Jason McCarty while your son

28
00:01:17,068 --> 00:01:18,268
Speaker 1: is on the biggest game of the week.

29
00:01:18,308 --> 00:01:20,548
Speaker 2: I don't know him and Noah same agent. Just Noah's

30
00:01:20,588 --> 00:01:22,348
Speaker 2: more is more, wanted, more.

31
00:01:22,188 --> 00:01:25,268
Speaker 1: Desired every time to discuss that that your Yeah, we'll

32
00:01:25,268 --> 00:01:27,308
Speaker 1: figure it out.

33
00:01:27,348 --> 00:01:28,788
Speaker 2: I wish I was working with Noah.

34
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:31,628
Speaker 3: This weekend, right Maybe like the Packers, NBC is just

35
00:01:31,628 --> 00:01:34,828
Speaker 3: following that youthful energy instead of Noah.

36
00:01:34,668 --> 00:01:41,188
Speaker 4: Said, I shut love what a loser to Ian? Good

37
00:01:41,188 --> 00:01:43,468
Speaker 4: morning to the bird and the beard. What's the latest

38
00:01:43,588 --> 00:01:46,948
Speaker 4: snooze this morning? Still laughing at the injuries coaches.

39
00:01:46,908 --> 00:01:47,668
Speaker 5: No, it's just funny.

40
00:01:47,748 --> 00:01:48,748
Speaker 2: The whole thing is las.

41
00:01:48,748 --> 00:01:50,228
Speaker 5: Anyway, Let's start with t J.

42
00:01:50,468 --> 00:01:54,828
Speaker 6: Watty, Steelers star pass rusher nineteen sacks this year, defensive

43
00:01:54,828 --> 00:01:57,548
Speaker 6: Player of the Year candidate, one of the few really

44
00:01:57,588 --> 00:01:58,188
Speaker 6: good ones.

45
00:01:58,348 --> 00:02:00,268
Speaker 5: Isn't that going to be out for this game?

46
00:02:00,308 --> 00:02:03,308
Speaker 6: He's doing with the MCO spring Grade two MCO sprain

47
00:02:03,428 --> 00:02:05,548
Speaker 6: is the MRI I revealed early in the week. Mike

48
00:02:05,548 --> 00:02:08,628
Speaker 6: Tomlin confirmed yesterday that Watt not gonna play in this game.

49
00:02:08,708 --> 00:02:10,788
Speaker 6: My understanding is for this injury, it considered to be

50
00:02:10,788 --> 00:02:14,268
Speaker 6: a multi week injury. Absolute best case scenario is two

51
00:02:14,308 --> 00:02:16,268
Speaker 6: weeks and then put a brace on it until you

52
00:02:16,268 --> 00:02:19,588
Speaker 6: figure the Steelers need to win probably two games to

53
00:02:19,668 --> 00:02:21,948
Speaker 6: get Watt back out there, which if that happens, I

54
00:02:21,948 --> 00:02:24,508
Speaker 6: would say that's a good outcome whether or not Watt plays,

55
00:02:24,508 --> 00:02:27,348
Speaker 6: considering the kind of year that these Steelers have had. Meanwhile,

56
00:02:27,388 --> 00:02:31,548
Speaker 6: we did have another coaching change yesterday. Mike Rabel out

57
00:02:31,588 --> 00:02:34,628
Speaker 6: in Tennessee. Former Coach of the Year. Had six pretty

58
00:02:34,628 --> 00:02:37,908
Speaker 6: successful seasons last two though not up to the standard

59
00:02:37,948 --> 00:02:40,428
Speaker 6: that the organization is set. And I know there's some

60
00:02:40,708 --> 00:02:43,988
Speaker 6: you know, consternation about rabel status and some rumors, and

61
00:02:44,228 --> 00:02:45,748
Speaker 6: so you're gonna go back to New England and then

62
00:02:45,748 --> 00:02:48,028
Speaker 6: he's up there in New England getting the Hall of

63
00:02:48,068 --> 00:02:50,628
Speaker 6: Fame induction, say next to the Crafts, and I'm not

64
00:02:50,668 --> 00:02:51,908
Speaker 6: sure that's said great.

65
00:02:51,668 --> 00:02:55,028
Speaker 5: With his organization. Never came back, never addressed anything, just

66
00:02:55,068 --> 00:02:56,228
Speaker 5: went business as usual.

67
00:02:56,588 --> 00:02:59,068
Speaker 6: Amy Adams Strunk has final say here, and it was

68
00:02:59,388 --> 00:03:01,348
Speaker 6: her who made the decision in a one to one

69
00:03:01,468 --> 00:03:05,308
Speaker 6: meeting with Mike Rabel to eventually remove him as the.

70
00:03:05,228 --> 00:03:06,068
Speaker 5: Titans head coach.

71
00:03:06,348 --> 00:03:08,988
Speaker 6: Rin Carthon med with the media yesterday talked about how

72
00:03:09,028 --> 00:03:10,308
Speaker 6: the relationship was positive.

73
00:03:10,348 --> 00:03:11,828
Speaker 5: That sounds like that was true.

74
00:03:12,068 --> 00:03:14,788
Speaker 6: He now will lead the search for a new head

75
00:03:14,828 --> 00:03:17,268
Speaker 6: coach as the Titans for the first time in seven

76
00:03:17,348 --> 00:03:18,468
Speaker 6: years paid one.

77
00:03:18,868 --> 00:03:20,788
Speaker 4: All right, good to know, raps Sheet, thank you very much.

78
00:03:20,828 --> 00:03:23,148
Speaker 3: We know you'll be all over it in case anything changes,

79
00:03:23,308 --> 00:03:25,708
Speaker 3: because we are still in that week after the regular season,

80
00:03:26,028 --> 00:03:28,268
Speaker 3: both good, bad and ugly to talk about. Let's play

81
00:03:28,268 --> 00:03:30,828
Speaker 3: a round of three and outs. We're gonna put three

82
00:03:30,828 --> 00:03:33,348
Speaker 3: minutes on the clock and we're going to start right

83
00:03:33,428 --> 00:03:35,388
Speaker 3: where rap Sheet just left off.

84
00:03:35,468 --> 00:03:36,028
Speaker 4: Mike Rabel.

85
00:03:36,588 --> 00:03:41,588
Speaker 3: Will Mike Rabel be a highly coveted head coaching candidate,

86
00:03:41,668 --> 00:03:44,668
Speaker 3: Peter knowing that we are at five spots because we

87
00:03:44,668 --> 00:03:46,148
Speaker 3: don't count Tennessee just of six.

88
00:03:46,348 --> 00:03:49,188
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Rabel's going to interview with every team,

89
00:03:49,228 --> 00:03:51,388
Speaker 1: but I think there are certain teams that he becomes

90
00:03:51,588 --> 00:03:52,548
Speaker 1: candidate number one.

91
00:03:52,748 --> 00:03:55,428
Speaker 5: Raybel wins games, his players love him. You saw the

92
00:03:55,428 --> 00:03:56,508
Speaker 5: out four of response.

93
00:03:57,188 --> 00:04:00,428
Speaker 1: Rabel's also an old school coach and that he is

94
00:04:00,468 --> 00:04:02,508
Speaker 1: the head coach and there is no debate as to

95
00:04:02,548 --> 00:04:06,548
Speaker 1: who runs the building. I think franchises are looking for that.

96
00:04:06,628 --> 00:04:09,468
Speaker 1: Certain franchises want to be shipped into shape. Certain franchises

97
00:04:09,948 --> 00:04:11,268
Speaker 1: might want it to be a little bit more.

98
00:04:11,508 --> 00:04:11,908
Speaker 5: I don't know.

99
00:04:12,748 --> 00:04:15,788
Speaker 1: Everybody's got a voice from from Joe and accounting to

100
00:04:16,508 --> 00:04:19,068
Speaker 1: Bill and marketing to Susie and payroll.

101
00:04:19,108 --> 00:04:20,988
Speaker 5: Everyone's an equal. Like, that's not how.

102
00:04:20,988 --> 00:04:23,188
Speaker 1: Verbel coach teams are. If Verybel comes in, he's like,

103
00:04:23,428 --> 00:04:24,908
Speaker 1: this is the identity of our team.

104
00:04:25,028 --> 00:04:27,228
Speaker 5: It's me. It's how we're gonna play. It's gonna be tough.

105
00:04:27,348 --> 00:04:29,028
Speaker 1: They're gonna be disciplined, they're not gonna have a ton

106
00:04:29,028 --> 00:04:30,708
Speaker 1: of penalties, and they're gonna fight to.

107
00:04:30,668 --> 00:04:31,428
Speaker 5: The end of the day.

108
00:04:31,428 --> 00:04:33,668
Speaker 1: But they're also it's not gonna always be warm and

109
00:04:33,708 --> 00:04:36,268
Speaker 1: fuzzy inside the building. So to me, you heard it,

110
00:04:36,348 --> 00:04:38,788
Speaker 1: Ian said, I don't think it was viewed so warmly

111
00:04:38,828 --> 00:04:40,508
Speaker 1: when he spent his bye week or the team was

112
00:04:40,548 --> 00:04:42,388
Speaker 1: off and he was in a red jacket, you know,

113
00:04:42,588 --> 00:04:45,068
Speaker 1: arm in arm with Robert Kraft. Well, maybe that could

114
00:04:45,108 --> 00:04:47,228
Speaker 1: be the future, Jamie, you hit on it earlier. If

115
00:04:47,228 --> 00:04:49,268
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick moves on, there could be something that's no

116
00:04:49,348 --> 00:04:52,708
Speaker 1: more seamless, you know, perfectly timed than Verbel sliding right

117
00:04:52,748 --> 00:04:55,468
Speaker 1: in there. I don't think Verbel will be threatened by

118
00:04:55,588 --> 00:04:57,348
Speaker 1: you know the shadow of Belichick. I think he'll be

119
00:04:57,388 --> 00:04:59,308
Speaker 1: a nice honor to the Belichick to have one of

120
00:04:59,348 --> 00:05:01,948
Speaker 1: his guys be the new coach. And also I think

121
00:05:01,988 --> 00:05:05,828
Speaker 1: that the Patriots have a real connection to so to me, yeah,

122
00:05:05,908 --> 00:05:07,308
Speaker 1: certain teams, but not every team.

123
00:05:07,388 --> 00:05:09,348
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that conversation. When you start talking about

124
00:05:09,388 --> 00:05:11,468
Speaker 2: verbel and New England, there's Gira Mayo that's there that

125
00:05:11,708 --> 00:05:13,228
Speaker 2: a lot of talk had been he was going to

126
00:05:13,308 --> 00:05:15,748
Speaker 2: be the guy to come after Bill Belichick. I look

127
00:05:15,788 --> 00:05:18,788
Speaker 2: at rabel and when he got to Tennessee, Malarkey was there.

128
00:05:18,828 --> 00:05:21,108
Speaker 2: They had made the players that had gotten better, and

129
00:05:21,148 --> 00:05:23,148
Speaker 2: then he took this team over the top. So you say,

130
00:05:23,228 --> 00:05:24,588
Speaker 2: is he going to be a hot candy? I don't

131
00:05:24,588 --> 00:05:27,108
Speaker 2: see how he is not, because in six seasons he's

132
00:05:27,108 --> 00:05:29,908
Speaker 2: been there to make four playoff appearances with a franchise

133
00:05:29,948 --> 00:05:32,628
Speaker 2: that wasn't going to the playoffs back to back years

134
00:05:32,668 --> 00:05:35,388
Speaker 2: and hasn't had a ton of success in that area

135
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:37,748
Speaker 2: to get there and kind of change what the Tennessee

136
00:05:37,748 --> 00:05:40,468
Speaker 2: Titans were looked at in the NFL as a team.

137
00:05:40,508 --> 00:05:43,188
Speaker 2: And you said earlier under Ryan Tannehill as the quarterback

138
00:05:43,388 --> 00:05:45,748
Speaker 2: taking over, I think he made leaps and bounds there.

139
00:05:45,868 --> 00:05:48,228
Speaker 2: So I do think he will be somebody that's highly

140
00:05:48,268 --> 00:05:50,828
Speaker 2: covenant and people want him in the building because they're

141
00:05:50,908 --> 00:05:53,068
Speaker 2: franchise where you're trying to find a way to become

142
00:05:53,148 --> 00:05:55,868
Speaker 2: relevant again, and I think Vrabel did that in Tennessee

143
00:05:56,148 --> 00:05:58,628
Speaker 2: and has proven that he can figure out ways to win.

144
00:05:58,908 --> 00:06:01,188
Speaker 2: I think more importantly is the way he's talked about

145
00:06:01,388 --> 00:06:04,108
Speaker 2: by opponents from a strategy standpoint, because you look at

146
00:06:04,148 --> 00:06:06,068
Speaker 2: verybel and you're like, oh, it's this tough guy, but

147
00:06:06,148 --> 00:06:08,388
Speaker 2: you look at all the nuances within the game and

148
00:06:08,428 --> 00:06:10,908
Speaker 2: how they're able to win, how every box is checked

149
00:06:10,908 --> 00:06:12,788
Speaker 2: when he prepares for a game. I do think there

150
00:06:12,788 --> 00:06:14,348
Speaker 2: will be teams that are looking for to bring him

151
00:06:14,348 --> 00:06:14,948
Speaker 2: in as a head coach.

152
00:06:14,948 --> 00:06:15,668
Speaker 5: A couple examples.

153
00:06:15,668 --> 00:06:18,108
Speaker 1: He ran that play where they stole a time out

154
00:06:18,108 --> 00:06:19,588
Speaker 1: at the end. They did it against who was it against?

155
00:06:19,588 --> 00:06:21,348
Speaker 1: It was against New England or was it against.

156
00:06:21,148 --> 00:06:23,388
Speaker 2: Believe so because it was the everybody was talking about it.

157
00:06:23,468 --> 00:06:25,188
Speaker 1: Bit Hey, he took that from us, and I think

158
00:06:25,188 --> 00:06:26,788
Speaker 1: he liked little nuances of game management.

159
00:06:26,788 --> 00:06:28,428
Speaker 5: And Rabel's among the very best coach of the year

160
00:06:28,428 --> 00:06:28,828
Speaker 5: tw years ago.

161
00:06:28,868 --> 00:06:30,308
Speaker 7: Yeah, you look at all of his teams, they're all

162
00:06:30,308 --> 00:06:33,388
Speaker 7: well prepared. They're all tough physically and mentally. I think

163
00:06:33,428 --> 00:06:35,748
Speaker 7: the thing with Mike Rabel, if you're a franchise right

164
00:06:35,748 --> 00:06:37,908
Speaker 7: now looking for a head coach, you want a leader.

165
00:06:38,148 --> 00:06:39,708
Speaker 2: That's what he does, That's what he is.

166
00:06:40,268 --> 00:06:42,988
Speaker 7: People flock to Mike Rabel on the field because they

167
00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:45,828
Speaker 7: know they know he's a former player and his career

168
00:06:45,908 --> 00:06:48,148
Speaker 7: was all about being smart, being tough, and he instills

169
00:06:48,188 --> 00:06:50,308
Speaker 7: that in these players. I think if you're looking for

170
00:06:50,348 --> 00:06:53,148
Speaker 7: a head coach, you need somebody that can galvanize the team.

171
00:06:53,268 --> 00:06:56,908
Speaker 7: Bring fifty three guys from all different backgrounds together and

172
00:06:56,988 --> 00:06:58,948
Speaker 7: focus on the team. Look at what they just did.

173
00:06:58,988 --> 00:07:00,268
Speaker 2: Look at what he just did. Week EIGHTEAM.

174
00:07:00,348 --> 00:07:02,308
Speaker 7: The Tennessee Titans, with nothing to play for, went down

175
00:07:02,348 --> 00:07:04,628
Speaker 7: and be knocked off the Jacksonville Jaggars that had everything

176
00:07:04,668 --> 00:07:06,708
Speaker 7: to play for. That's the kind of leader that you want.

177
00:07:06,708 --> 00:07:09,028
Speaker 7: And I think Rabel the one thing that he's looking

178
00:07:09,068 --> 00:07:11,668
Speaker 7: at though. I think he feels like in Tennessee they

179
00:07:11,668 --> 00:07:13,948
Speaker 7: were trading away some of my best players, Like, I

180
00:07:13,988 --> 00:07:16,108
Speaker 7: think I need to have a little stock in how

181
00:07:16,108 --> 00:07:17,028
Speaker 7: we're building this roster.

182
00:07:17,748 --> 00:07:19,228
Speaker 4: A park Grab your PARKA.

183
00:07:19,708 --> 00:07:22,628
Speaker 3: The forecast at Arrowhead is set to be in the

184
00:07:22,788 --> 00:07:26,268
Speaker 3: single digits without windshill. And now you are a true

185
00:07:26,268 --> 00:07:28,548
Speaker 3: mid Westerner if you're like, yeah, yeah, whatever the number.

186
00:07:28,348 --> 00:07:30,228
Speaker 4: Is, tell me about the wind shill. How much of

187
00:07:30,268 --> 00:07:31,548
Speaker 4: a factor do you think.

188
00:07:31,388 --> 00:07:34,508
Speaker 3: Cold temperatures will be for this warm weather Dolphins team

189
00:07:34,508 --> 00:07:36,388
Speaker 3: that up until a couple of weeks ago, we were thinking,

190
00:07:36,548 --> 00:07:38,708
Speaker 3: don't go to Miami and have to play in the postseason.

191
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:40,628
Speaker 4: It's not there. Now they have to go to zero.

192
00:07:40,788 --> 00:07:42,748
Speaker 2: It's so crazy when you say that, because we were

193
00:07:42,788 --> 00:07:45,668
Speaker 2: talking about them in contention with Baltimore for that number

194
00:07:45,668 --> 00:07:47,908
Speaker 2: one scene, it would have ran through Miami. I think

195
00:07:47,988 --> 00:07:50,868
Speaker 2: it's a huge factor. I think throughout to his career

196
00:07:50,868 --> 00:07:53,268
Speaker 2: they've talked about him playing in cold weather games and

197
00:07:53,308 --> 00:07:56,028
Speaker 2: what the stats are, and Sean mentioned it earlier, even

198
00:07:56,068 --> 00:07:58,028
Speaker 2: snapping the balls. I think you said it's like throwing

199
00:07:58,028 --> 00:08:00,708
Speaker 2: a bowling ball back there for them. So I do

200
00:08:00,788 --> 00:08:03,988
Speaker 2: think it plays a major role. Because the Miami Dolphins,

201
00:08:03,988 --> 00:08:05,548
Speaker 2: you look at them, you're like, all right, their team

202
00:08:05,548 --> 00:08:07,988
Speaker 2: that's built on speed. They run around Tyreek Hill, this, that,

203
00:08:08,028 --> 00:08:10,108
Speaker 2: and the third. But I do think the other side

204
00:08:10,108 --> 00:08:12,068
Speaker 2: of it is Miami is a team that's not afraid

205
00:08:12,108 --> 00:08:14,108
Speaker 2: to hand the ball off and run with Raheem Moster

206
00:08:14,268 --> 00:08:16,748
Speaker 2: and Devon h and depend upon with most of its

207
00:08:16,788 --> 00:08:19,788
Speaker 2: availability as of missing the last two games. But it

208
00:08:19,828 --> 00:08:21,908
Speaker 2: plays a factor. I've been out there in games. I

209
00:08:21,988 --> 00:08:24,828
Speaker 2: played in an AFC Championship game in Kansas City at

210
00:08:24,908 --> 00:08:28,028
Speaker 2: Arrowheadfield where we're all on the sideline and we're stuffed

211
00:08:28,028 --> 00:08:31,788
Speaker 2: together with those big jackets on because you're absolutely freezing.

212
00:08:31,828 --> 00:08:34,228
Speaker 2: And this isn't a team, you know, this isn't a

213
00:08:34,268 --> 00:08:36,668
Speaker 2: team that gets to prepare for it all week long

214
00:08:36,828 --> 00:08:39,868
Speaker 2: when you're in those cold games. Those practices help of

215
00:08:40,268 --> 00:08:42,388
Speaker 2: being able to get used to the elements and being

216
00:08:42,428 --> 00:08:44,268
Speaker 2: out there and figuring out throughout the course of the

217
00:08:44,268 --> 00:08:46,228
Speaker 2: week what I'm going to wear, how am I gonna

218
00:08:46,268 --> 00:08:48,668
Speaker 2: find comfort in it? For Miami, there's no way you

219
00:08:48,748 --> 00:08:50,868
Speaker 2: can replicate it. When I was in New England, we

220
00:08:50,908 --> 00:08:52,588
Speaker 2: had to go to Miami. Bill will put us in

221
00:08:52,628 --> 00:08:54,548
Speaker 2: the bubble and crank the heat up as hot as

222
00:08:54,548 --> 00:08:56,908
Speaker 2: possible and make people wear sweatshirts to try to get

223
00:08:56,948 --> 00:08:58,908
Speaker 2: used to it. It was nothing compared to when that

224
00:08:58,988 --> 00:09:00,828
Speaker 2: sun was beating down on you. So I do think

225
00:09:00,828 --> 00:09:02,188
Speaker 2: whether plays a role in this game.

226
00:09:02,308 --> 00:09:04,308
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because this is an angel debate

227
00:09:04,468 --> 00:09:07,588
Speaker 1: of like, warm weather team goes to cold Weather City,

228
00:09:07,628 --> 00:09:09,308
Speaker 1: and then you always get the guy saying, well, this

229
00:09:09,348 --> 00:09:11,228
Speaker 1: guy played in the Big Ten for three years, and

230
00:09:11,228 --> 00:09:13,668
Speaker 1: well this guy was a former Chicago Bear for seven years.

231
00:09:13,708 --> 00:09:15,428
Speaker 5: What do you mean, like you know it matters? I

232
00:09:15,468 --> 00:09:16,308
Speaker 5: really think it matters.

233
00:09:16,308 --> 00:09:17,788
Speaker 1: And I think when you're a team that comes in

234
00:09:17,828 --> 00:09:20,588
Speaker 1: as injured as the Dolphins are and so many new faces,

235
00:09:20,628 --> 00:09:22,468
Speaker 1: like they just signed justin Houston, just Do hasn't play

236
00:09:22,508 --> 00:09:24,148
Speaker 1: for them, yet he's gonna play like you're.

237
00:09:23,988 --> 00:09:25,268
Speaker 5: Also dealing with that factor.

238
00:09:25,308 --> 00:09:28,428
Speaker 1: So the combination of the injuries, the exhaustion of an

239
00:09:28,428 --> 00:09:32,028
Speaker 1: eighteen week season, and the letdown of having a potential

240
00:09:32,148 --> 00:09:34,468
Speaker 1: number two seed where you're going to host two playoff

241
00:09:34,468 --> 00:09:37,188
Speaker 1: games to now going to the defending champions buildings in

242
00:09:37,268 --> 00:09:40,748
Speaker 1: negative weather. I think it's massive specifically for this Dolphins team.

243
00:09:40,748 --> 00:09:43,188
Speaker 1: Now other teams you get say yeah, But this Dolphins

244
00:09:43,228 --> 00:09:44,908
Speaker 1: team and the way their story is gone, I think

245
00:09:44,948 --> 00:09:46,628
Speaker 1: going into the cold weather is going to be very

246
00:09:46,628 --> 00:09:48,468
Speaker 1: bitter and very tough to play in for them, The.

247
00:09:48,428 --> 00:09:50,348
Speaker 7: Cold weather is a real factor. I could still hear

248
00:09:50,388 --> 00:09:54,268
Speaker 7: Tom Coughlin saying it's mind over matter. If you don't mind.

249
00:09:54,508 --> 00:09:58,148
Speaker 7: It won't matter, and it's cold for them too. Listen,

250
00:09:58,388 --> 00:10:00,468
Speaker 7: you cannot prepare for it. You touched on at j

251
00:10:00,628 --> 00:10:02,508
Speaker 7: Mac like you're down in Miami. How do you replicate

252
00:10:02,548 --> 00:10:04,348
Speaker 7: the cold weather? How do you get your receivers to

253
00:10:04,468 --> 00:10:06,588
Speaker 7: practice catching that hard ball?

254
00:10:06,668 --> 00:10:06,908
Speaker 1: Right?

255
00:10:07,308 --> 00:10:10,588
Speaker 2: The ball gets firm, it gets slick. You can't replicate that.

256
00:10:10,868 --> 00:10:13,028
Speaker 2: You can crank up the heat, but you can't.

257
00:10:12,788 --> 00:10:15,108
Speaker 7: Turn down the weather, and you can't make a cold

258
00:10:15,668 --> 00:10:18,468
Speaker 7: I think, look, everybody's trying to channel their inner elsa right.

259
00:10:18,468 --> 00:10:21,388
Speaker 7: The cold never bothered me anyway. But for the Miami Dolphins,

260
00:10:21,428 --> 00:10:24,268
Speaker 7: they're heading into the unknown, and Tua in his first

261
00:10:24,268 --> 00:10:26,188
Speaker 7: playoff game, we really need him to show himself.

262
00:10:26,228 --> 00:10:27,028
Speaker 4: You can't replicate this.

263
00:10:28,148 --> 00:10:28,588
Speaker 2: I like it.

264
00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:30,548
Speaker 3: I have a distinct memory from a game I did

265
00:10:30,628 --> 00:10:34,708
Speaker 3: want to Kansas City, December eighteenth, twenty sixteen. I actually

266
00:10:34,748 --> 00:10:36,988
Speaker 3: had this great video that I took of Alex Smith

267
00:10:37,068 --> 00:10:39,708
Speaker 3: walking onto the field during the pregame. My phone batteries

268
00:10:39,748 --> 00:10:42,508
Speaker 3: at ninety eight percent. It is minus six degrees at

269
00:10:42,508 --> 00:10:45,228
Speaker 3: the time. My phone died immediately three seconds later. The

270
00:10:45,268 --> 00:10:47,108
Speaker 3: video does not exist. I cannot show it. During the

271
00:10:47,108 --> 00:10:49,428
Speaker 3: segment the game gets played, the Kansasity Chiefs are actually

272
00:10:49,468 --> 00:10:52,268
Speaker 3: hosting the Titans that day, and this cornerback that started

273
00:10:52,308 --> 00:10:54,908
Speaker 3: for the Titans got hurt on like his first defensive snap.

274
00:10:54,948 --> 00:10:56,588
Speaker 3: How hard is it to take a hit in the chest,

275
00:10:56,668 --> 00:10:59,868
Speaker 3: Jason Quinny, because I know you left that game with.

276
00:10:59,868 --> 00:11:00,988
Speaker 4: An injury to your chest.

277
00:11:01,068 --> 00:11:01,708
Speaker 5: It was so cold.

278
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:04,068
Speaker 2: So the third play in the game, offensive lineman just

279
00:11:04,108 --> 00:11:07,508
Speaker 2: sou plexes me enter the ground AC screen. All types

280
00:11:07,548 --> 00:11:09,668
Speaker 2: of stuff didn't play the week after that, So, yeah,

281
00:11:09,708 --> 00:11:11,028
Speaker 2: that was a That was a fun one. I think

282
00:11:11,068 --> 00:11:12,588
Speaker 2: I stayed in. No, I actually did go back out

283
00:11:12,588 --> 00:11:13,108
Speaker 2: there in the field.

284
00:11:13,188 --> 00:11:14,788
Speaker 4: You did, I was there? Who knew?

285
00:11:15,068 --> 00:11:16,948
Speaker 2: It was your bad mojo? I got hurt? How bad?

286
00:11:17,028 --> 00:11:18,548
Speaker 4: I had no idea. I'm looking up this game.

287
00:11:18,588 --> 00:11:18,988
Speaker 2: How close?

288
00:11:19,268 --> 00:11:21,268
Speaker 3: Minus six was the low that day?

289
00:11:21,628 --> 00:11:22,348
Speaker 4: High of nine?

290
00:11:22,388 --> 00:11:25,228
Speaker 3: We lost, Ty scored a long touchdown, twenty won nineteen

291
00:11:25,228 --> 00:11:25,748
Speaker 3: to seventeen.

292
00:11:25,948 --> 00:11:30,228
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I guess I wouln't play on third down.

293
00:11:30,628 --> 00:11:33,548
Speaker 3: Matt Stafford returns to Detroit on Sunday night to take

294
00:11:33,548 --> 00:11:36,308
Speaker 3: on his former team, and one Lions fan site called

295
00:11:36,428 --> 00:11:40,508
Speaker 3: for a ban of Lions era Stafford jerseys during wild

296
00:11:40,628 --> 00:11:41,228
Speaker 3: Card weekend.

297
00:11:41,228 --> 00:11:42,868
Speaker 4: If you're a Lions fan heading to the game before

298
00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:43,508
Speaker 4: a field.

299
00:11:43,228 --> 00:11:45,868
Speaker 3: Do you wear your Stafford jersey or Jason, would you

300
00:11:45,988 --> 00:11:46,668
Speaker 3: leave it at home?

301
00:11:46,788 --> 00:11:48,948
Speaker 2: Come on, is this serious of the mom There's no

302
00:11:49,108 --> 00:11:51,868
Speaker 2: way you wear your Stafford jersey to this game unless

303
00:11:51,908 --> 00:11:53,788
Speaker 2: you're wearing it and you're taping and you're putting a

304
00:11:53,788 --> 00:11:56,548
Speaker 2: big X over it or something of that nature. Yes,

305
00:11:56,828 --> 00:12:00,148
Speaker 2: you absolutely love Matthew Stafford. When he was hoisting that

306
00:12:00,148 --> 00:12:02,948
Speaker 2: Super Bowl trophy. If you're a Detroit Lions fan, you

307
00:12:02,988 --> 00:12:05,628
Speaker 2: were celebrating. You were so happy. You're like, all right,

308
00:12:05,748 --> 00:12:08,428
Speaker 2: the good guy got one. I was a few years ago.

309
00:12:08,548 --> 00:12:10,908
Speaker 2: We're over that. We're happy for Stafford. We rooted it form,

310
00:12:10,908 --> 00:12:13,068
Speaker 2: We're happy for his family, the whole nine. He found

311
00:12:13,148 --> 00:12:15,908
Speaker 2: beauty in La that's an amazing story. But when he

312
00:12:15,948 --> 00:12:18,788
Speaker 2: walks back into Ford Field, there are no hugs. There

313
00:12:18,788 --> 00:12:21,628
Speaker 2: are no oh Matthew's back, no jerseys in the stand.

314
00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:25,068
Speaker 2: It is all about Jared Goff, Dan Campbell in these

315
00:12:25,108 --> 00:12:29,068
Speaker 2: Detroit lines. They've waited so long to host a playoff game.

316
00:12:29,308 --> 00:12:32,028
Speaker 2: It is all about getting the victory. We may cheer

317
00:12:32,068 --> 00:12:34,228
Speaker 2: when he comes out for warm ups in pregame and

318
00:12:34,268 --> 00:12:36,348
Speaker 2: all of that, as soon as the game starts and

319
00:12:36,388 --> 00:12:38,388
Speaker 2: it kicks off. When the ball hits his hand. It's

320
00:12:38,428 --> 00:12:41,788
Speaker 2: all about booing make him as uncomfortable as possible for

321
00:12:41,948 --> 00:12:44,508
Speaker 2: any Lions fans. They're trying to do anything to become

322
00:12:44,588 --> 00:12:47,428
Speaker 2: victorious and get that first playoff win, and so long.

323
00:12:47,508 --> 00:12:48,148
Speaker 2: There's a lot of.

324
00:12:48,108 --> 00:12:50,908
Speaker 1: Talk online of like this warm reception pregame and that

325
00:12:51,068 --> 00:12:52,148
Speaker 1: maybe you do a video.

326
00:12:53,028 --> 00:12:57,628
Speaker 5: Screw that. What are we talking about? Boo him, boo him.

327
00:12:57,468 --> 00:13:01,028
Speaker 1: To the man, boo him so much that he's startled,

328
00:13:01,308 --> 00:13:03,668
Speaker 1: that he's uncomfortable, and that he throws an interception to

329
00:13:03,708 --> 00:13:06,908
Speaker 1: Kirby Joseph on the front, Like, what are we talking

330
00:13:06,948 --> 00:13:07,428
Speaker 1: about here?

331
00:13:07,548 --> 00:13:11,108
Speaker 5: Do not wear a Stafford. Save your video tributes for

332
00:13:11,508 --> 00:13:14,348
Speaker 5: social media years from now. We'll do it when he

333
00:13:14,428 --> 00:13:15,148
Speaker 5: won the super Bowl.

334
00:13:15,148 --> 00:13:17,428
Speaker 1: You're talking about your first playoff home game in thirty years.

335
00:13:17,548 --> 00:13:21,188
Speaker 1: Do not cheer on Matthew's If you see Matthew Stafford

336
00:13:21,188 --> 00:13:23,988
Speaker 1: in the supermarket in Detroit and you say hello, that's fine.

337
00:13:24,228 --> 00:13:26,548
Speaker 1: For those three hours, it's okay to not cheer him

338
00:13:26,588 --> 00:13:28,068
Speaker 1: and to not give him a video tribute. It to

339
00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:29,988
Speaker 1: be all warm and fuzzy. We love what Stafford did

340
00:13:29,988 --> 00:13:30,268
Speaker 1: for us.

341
00:13:30,308 --> 00:13:31,988
Speaker 5: Great. He is the enemy right now.

342
00:13:32,428 --> 00:13:34,308

343
00:13:34,508 --> 00:13:36,428
Speaker 1: like beautiful tribute in this red carpet.

344
00:13:36,668 --> 00:13:38,628
Speaker 5: Guess what. He also asked to leave. What are we

345
00:13:38,748 --> 00:13:39,548
Speaker 5: talking about here?

346
00:13:39,668 --> 00:13:41,788
Speaker 1: He asked to leave so we can go win somewhere else,

347
00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:44,628
Speaker 1: which he did. Stop this No, no Stafford Jersey's no

350
00:13:46,948 --> 00:13:49,468
Speaker 7: Come on, I love what Listen if you're a line

351
00:13:49,508 --> 00:13:52,988
Speaker 7: fan right now, this is the playoffs, like like you, yes,

352
00:13:53,268 --> 00:13:55,868
Speaker 7: I think it's awesome what Stafford's done. And to your point,

353
00:13:55,908 --> 00:13:57,948
Speaker 7: you're spot on. If this was a regular season game,

354
00:13:57,988 --> 00:14:00,708
Speaker 7: maybe you have the tribute, maybe you have a little moment.

355
00:14:00,828 --> 00:14:02,908
Speaker 2: This is the playoffs. This is win or go home.

356
00:14:03,068 --> 00:14:05,148
Speaker 7: And let's just talk a little bit about the other quarterback,

357
00:14:05,148 --> 00:14:07,468
Speaker 7: your quarterback, Jared Golf on the side. You mean to

358
00:14:07,508 --> 00:14:09,828
Speaker 7: tell me you're gonna wear a Stafford jersey to the game,

359
00:14:09,868 --> 00:14:11,628
Speaker 7: all right, and you're gonna be cheering for your team,

360
00:14:11,668 --> 00:14:14,628
Speaker 7: but you're wearing the other team's quarterbacks jersey. That's gonna

361
00:14:14,668 --> 00:14:16,428
Speaker 7: like if you storm the field after Jared Golf throws

362
00:14:16,468 --> 00:14:17,948
Speaker 7: it a game when he touched down, you're gonna take

363
00:14:17,948 --> 00:14:19,708
Speaker 7: a picture next to Jared Golf with a Stafford jersey

364
00:14:19,748 --> 00:14:21,708
Speaker 7: on like that shouldn't happen. Let's just also keep in

365
00:14:21,748 --> 00:14:23,628
Speaker 7: mind big picture here, like I've compared this before, like

366
00:14:23,668 --> 00:14:25,988
Speaker 7: Sean McVay like broke up with Jared Golf right and

367
00:14:26,028 --> 00:14:29,348
Speaker 7: immediately started dating Matthew Stafford or Matthey Stafford. No, no,

368
00:14:29,548 --> 00:14:33,308
Speaker 7: it was even more streman that this is a wife swap, right,

369
00:14:33,468 --> 00:14:35,268
Speaker 7: this was this was not like dating right now.

370
00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:39,028
Speaker 2: He literally traded wives right here. And it's all culminated

371
00:14:39,028 --> 00:14:41,588

399
00:16:00,348 --> 00:16:03,748
Speaker 2: to be participating in Super Wildcard Weekend in just a

400
00:16:03,788 --> 00:16:06,388
Speaker 2: few days. But I want to ask you about Joe Flackel. Now,

401
00:16:06,428 --> 00:16:08,028
Speaker 2: you sent to the Super Bowl with him back in

402
00:16:08,068 --> 00:16:11,308
Speaker 2: twenty twelve, had an incredible run, made a ton of plays.

403
00:16:11,588 --> 00:16:13,508
Speaker 2: What do you make of this resurgence of his career

404
00:16:13,548 --> 00:16:14,828
Speaker 2: and everything he's doing in Cleveland.

405
00:16:15,228 --> 00:16:18,348
Speaker 9: I'm loving it, man, seeing Joe out there. Joe is

406
00:16:18,468 --> 00:16:22,508
Speaker 9: Joe Man. He's so cool, he's so collected come and

407
00:16:22,548 --> 00:16:24,788
Speaker 9: I think, you know, he's added a spark to the

408
00:16:24,828 --> 00:16:28,308
Speaker 9: Cleveland Browns. Many people thought they were done after Deshaun

409
00:16:28,348 --> 00:16:30,628
Speaker 9: went down, but you know, you see Joe come in

410
00:16:31,228 --> 00:16:34,468
Speaker 9: and provide that the quarterback play that they needed. And

411
00:16:34,788 --> 00:16:37,428
Speaker 9: I mean, he's been a burst of energy for them,

412
00:16:38,188 --> 00:16:41,708
Speaker 9: and I think everybody is shocked by it. I'd be honest,

413
00:16:41,868 --> 00:16:44,068
Speaker 9: I'm shocked to see him playing. I mean, I think

414
00:16:44,068 --> 00:16:46,628
Speaker 9: about it. When we played in the super Bowl together,

415
00:16:46,628 --> 00:16:50,188
Speaker 9: it was twenty twelve, and it's what eleven twelve years later,

416
00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:52,788
Speaker 9: and he's still out there throwing it around like like

417
00:16:52,828 --> 00:16:55,788
Speaker 9: it was just yesterday. So I'm glad to see Joe playing.

418
00:16:55,788 --> 00:16:56,068
Speaker 5: Well.

419
00:16:56,588 --> 00:16:59,388
Speaker 3: We love your insight and expertise on quarterbacks that you

420
00:16:59,468 --> 00:17:00,228
Speaker 3: used to play with.

421
00:17:00,348 --> 00:17:01,708
Speaker 4: Let's pick your brain on another one.

422
00:17:01,708 --> 00:17:04,148
Speaker 3: In your final NFL season, you were in Detroit and

423
00:17:04,148 --> 00:17:07,188
Speaker 3: you alongside Matt Stafford. Now he makes a return to

424
00:17:07,228 --> 00:17:10,348
Speaker 3: Detroit to take on his former team. Your experience with him,

425
00:17:10,468 --> 00:17:13,428
Speaker 3: how much does Stafford mean to that city? What do

426
00:17:13,468 --> 00:17:16,188
Speaker 3: you remember of his connection to Detroit and what's an

427
00:17:16,188 --> 00:17:18,508
Speaker 3: emotion like that going up against a former team.

428
00:17:18,508 --> 00:17:22,828
Speaker 9: Do you think, Yeah, man, this weekend presents a lot

429
00:17:22,868 --> 00:17:25,988
Speaker 9: of great storylines and Matt going back to Detroit as

430
00:17:26,068 --> 00:17:28,628
Speaker 9: one of those. In Detroit, they love Matt. I mean

431
00:17:28,628 --> 00:17:31,548
Speaker 9: he's a guy that gave his all to that city

432
00:17:31,948 --> 00:17:34,628
Speaker 9: on that field. I mean, he played when he was

433
00:17:34,668 --> 00:17:36,668
Speaker 9: hurt and they love him there for it. But I

434
00:17:36,748 --> 00:17:39,548
Speaker 9: think this weekend would definitely be an emotional weekend for him.

435
00:17:39,948 --> 00:17:43,348
Speaker 9: Anytime you go back to the place that you once played,

436
00:17:43,668 --> 00:17:46,348
Speaker 9: I mean, you want to show everybody that you still

437
00:17:46,388 --> 00:17:49,068
Speaker 9: have it and that they wish you were still on

438
00:17:49,148 --> 00:17:51,348
Speaker 9: the team. So I'm gonna expecting Mac to come out

439
00:17:51,348 --> 00:17:54,068
Speaker 9: ready to play. It's going to be a great environment,

440
00:17:54,588 --> 00:17:58,828
Speaker 9: Detroit hosting a home home playoff game. It's going to

441
00:17:58,868 --> 00:18:01,428
Speaker 9: be a great time in Detroit. But I'm looking forward

442
00:18:01,508 --> 00:18:04,828
Speaker 9: to that, to that game itself, because although they Matt,

443
00:18:04,868 --> 00:18:06,508
Speaker 9: I don't know what, they're going to be too welcome

444
00:18:06,828 --> 00:18:08,108
Speaker 9: of Matt come Sunday.

445
00:18:08,548 --> 00:18:10,908
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're actually a part of that story. McVeigh always

446
00:18:10,908 --> 00:18:13,388
Speaker 1: tells the story of when he traded for Stafford. The

447
00:18:13,428 --> 00:18:15,148
Speaker 1: first thing he did was He's like, when I was

448
00:18:15,188 --> 00:18:18,348
Speaker 1: in Washington, you hit ankwon Bolden on a game winning

449
00:18:18,348 --> 00:18:20,388
Speaker 1: touchdown and you ripped our hearts out and he mentions

450
00:18:20,428 --> 00:18:22,708
Speaker 1: it all the time with his first memory of Stafford

451
00:18:22,988 --> 00:18:25,348
Speaker 1: was him ripping his heart out while you guys were

452
00:18:25,388 --> 00:18:28,788
Speaker 1: in Detroit together two thousand and three. Your rookie season

453
00:18:28,868 --> 00:18:32,508
Speaker 1: one hundred and one catches, thirteen hundred yards, eight touchdowns,

454
00:18:32,588 --> 00:18:36,908
Speaker 1: unanimous AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, Amazing debut. And

455
00:18:36,948 --> 00:18:40,348
Speaker 1: now we got this guy, Pooka Nkua coming out of nowhere,

456
00:18:40,748 --> 00:18:43,948
Speaker 1: who walks into to the world and breaks not only

457
00:18:44,148 --> 00:18:46,748
Speaker 1: your record that was then since broken by Waddle, but

458
00:18:46,908 --> 00:18:48,268
Speaker 1: also the yards thing.

459
00:18:48,388 --> 00:18:50,868
Speaker 5: He's a candidate, and yet I said yesterday, I still

460
00:18:50,908 --> 00:18:51,708
Speaker 5: got to give it to c J.

461
00:18:51,868 --> 00:18:52,268
Speaker 2: Stroud.

462
00:18:52,308 --> 00:18:54,868
Speaker 5: Do you have a loyalty to the wide receiver position?

463
00:18:54,988 --> 00:18:57,788
Speaker 1: And do you think it should be Pooka Nkua Offensive

464
00:18:57,868 --> 00:18:58,588
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year?

465
00:18:59,068 --> 00:19:01,628
Speaker 9: Man, that's a tough one there, because he's had a great,

466
00:19:02,188 --> 00:19:05,788
Speaker 9: a great year. He's been unbelievable all year. I'm playing

467
00:19:05,868 --> 00:19:09,828
Speaker 9: in that offense with Matt, with Sean calling the plays.

468
00:19:09,828 --> 00:19:12,028
Speaker 9: I mean, you see the numbers that he's put up.

469
00:19:12,428 --> 00:19:15,308
Speaker 9: But man, CJ has done an outstanding job. I don't

470
00:19:15,348 --> 00:19:17,428
Speaker 9: know too many rookies who can step in right away

471
00:19:17,468 --> 00:19:20,308
Speaker 9: at the quarterback position and lead their team in that way,

472
00:19:20,628 --> 00:19:23,148
Speaker 9: not only lead them, but also lead them to a

473
00:19:23,188 --> 00:19:24,948
Speaker 9: playoff birth. I mean, you think about some of the

474
00:19:24,948 --> 00:19:29,188
Speaker 9: greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game, the Peyton Mannings,

475
00:19:29,228 --> 00:19:33,348
Speaker 9: the John l Ways, and how they struggle initially as

476
00:19:33,428 --> 00:19:36,028
Speaker 9: quarterbacks in the NFL. And to see him come in

477
00:19:36,068 --> 00:19:37,708
Speaker 9: and step in right away and be a leader and

478
00:19:37,748 --> 00:19:40,108
Speaker 9: lead his team to the playoffs a young team at that,

479
00:19:40,388 --> 00:19:41,988
Speaker 9: I mean, that's hard to look over.

480
00:19:43,788 --> 00:19:46,588
Speaker 7: There's a handful of head coaching vacancies out there already,

481
00:19:46,748 --> 00:19:49,268
Speaker 7: but one name just kind of keeps popping up as

482
00:19:49,268 --> 00:19:51,548
Speaker 7: a top candidate. And he's not an NFL coach. He's

483
00:19:51,588 --> 00:19:55,468
Speaker 7: college coach. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh. He was your

484
00:19:55,468 --> 00:19:57,668
Speaker 7: coach in San Francisco for a couple of years. I'm

485
00:19:57,668 --> 00:19:59,828
Speaker 7: just want to ask you, as a guy who played

486
00:19:59,828 --> 00:20:02,428
Speaker 7: for him, can he make a return to the NFL

487
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:05,388
Speaker 7: and can he still coach in the NFL? And when

488
00:20:05,428 --> 00:20:06,428
Speaker 7: players listen.

489
00:20:06,188 --> 00:20:09,388
Speaker 9: To him, Oh, without a doubt. I mean, Jim is

490
00:20:10,028 --> 00:20:13,268
Speaker 9: he's a great coach on any level. I mean, obviously

491
00:20:13,348 --> 00:20:15,548
Speaker 9: we've we've been able to see what he's done at Michigan,

492
00:20:15,588 --> 00:20:19,268
Speaker 9: how he's turned that program around winning the National Championship

493
00:20:19,268 --> 00:20:22,788
Speaker 9: this year, dominating Higher State over the last couple of

494
00:20:22,788 --> 00:20:25,948
Speaker 9: the years. But as an NFL coach, Man, he's been

495
00:20:26,108 --> 00:20:29,868
Speaker 9: just as successful. Hasn't won the Super Bowl, but it's

496
00:20:29,908 --> 00:20:34,148
Speaker 9: been in many championship games. Actually had an appearance in

497
00:20:34,188 --> 00:20:37,228
Speaker 9: the Super Bowl against US. But Man, he's a great coach,

498
00:20:37,268 --> 00:20:39,788
Speaker 9: and I think you know if he did make the

499
00:20:39,828 --> 00:20:41,868
Speaker 9: journey back to the NFL that he would he would

500
00:20:41,868 --> 00:20:42,588
Speaker 9: do a great job.

501
00:20:43,228 --> 00:20:44,988
Speaker 2: That's going to be the talk of the town for

502
00:20:45,028 --> 00:20:46,988
Speaker 2: so long. And A Kwan getting a chance to play

503
00:20:46,988 --> 00:20:49,828
Speaker 2: against you was so strong, the way you played, the passion,

504
00:20:49,908 --> 00:20:52,948
Speaker 2: so tough to cover boat always of love and respected.

505
00:20:52,948 --> 00:20:55,308
Speaker 2: About you was the work that you did off the field,

506
00:20:55,428 --> 00:20:58,748
Speaker 2: whether it's players coalition or your own foundation. You're always

507
00:20:58,748 --> 00:21:00,548
Speaker 2: doing things in the community. And I want to ask

508
00:21:00,588 --> 00:21:03,268
Speaker 2: you about a nonprofit work that you've been doing around then,

509
00:21:03,308 --> 00:21:05,948
Speaker 2: organization called Sport for Impact. Can you just tell us

510
00:21:05,948 --> 00:21:07,868
Speaker 2: a little bit about more a little bit more about

511
00:21:07,908 --> 00:21:08,588
Speaker 2: it and what you're doing.

512
00:21:09,028 --> 00:21:12,308
Speaker 9: Definitely, Man, and I appreciate that. Yes, Sport for Impact

513
00:21:12,428 --> 00:21:15,228
Speaker 9: was created because I saw a need that was there,

514
00:21:15,308 --> 00:21:17,748
Speaker 9: a need that I wish that I had when I

515
00:21:17,788 --> 00:21:20,508
Speaker 9: first came into the NFL. Like you said, I did

516
00:21:20,548 --> 00:21:23,508
Speaker 9: a lot of work in the communities that I played,

517
00:21:23,548 --> 00:21:26,348
Speaker 9: in community that I came from, but I wish I

518
00:21:26,348 --> 00:21:28,148
Speaker 9: had a little more guidance. I wish I had a

519
00:21:28,148 --> 00:21:32,188
Speaker 9: little more collaboration with other players, because I think when

520
00:21:32,268 --> 00:21:35,588
Speaker 9: you do that, the impact is that much greater. So

521
00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:39,268
Speaker 9: we created Sport for Impact for that reason, to maximize

522
00:21:39,268 --> 00:21:41,348
Speaker 9: the impact that guys can have in their communities and

523
00:21:41,388 --> 00:21:43,468
Speaker 9: serving their communities. A lot of guys who come into

524
00:21:43,468 --> 00:21:46,428
Speaker 9: the league they want to make an impact outside of football,

525
00:21:46,748 --> 00:21:50,508
Speaker 9: and with Sport for Impact, connecting players with players, players

526
00:21:50,548 --> 00:21:53,068
Speaker 9: with brands and organizations that have the same part as

527
00:21:53,108 --> 00:21:55,948
Speaker 9: they do, I think it'll help those guys maximize the

528
00:21:55,988 --> 00:21:58,668
Speaker 9: potential that they have when it comes to making an

529
00:21:58,708 --> 00:21:59,828
Speaker 9: impact in their communities.

530
00:22:00,548 --> 00:22:03,668
Speaker 3: And it's so important specifically what you've done as it

531
00:22:03,708 --> 00:22:06,268
Speaker 3: pertains to one of the line items on your resume,

532
00:22:06,388 --> 00:22:09,028
Speaker 3: which is to be an NFL Walter Payton Man of

533
00:22:09,068 --> 00:22:11,988
Speaker 3: the Year. You were named that a prestigious honor back

534
00:22:11,988 --> 00:22:16,188
Speaker 3: in twenty fifteen. It's an incredible thing to receive as

535
00:22:16,188 --> 00:22:18,868
Speaker 3: an NFL player. Talk to us about the importance of

536
00:22:19,028 --> 00:22:20,188
Speaker 3: community work.

537
00:22:19,948 --> 00:22:20,988
Speaker 4: In the NFL.

538
00:22:21,228 --> 00:22:23,948
Speaker 3: And while you're playing, how much it can support you

539
00:22:24,028 --> 00:22:25,948
Speaker 3: and your connection to the city that you're living in,

540
00:22:25,988 --> 00:22:28,548
Speaker 3: and how it shaped your life after football.

541
00:22:28,748 --> 00:22:31,668
Speaker 9: Yeah, definitely. You know, for me, receiving the Walter Payton

542
00:22:31,708 --> 00:22:34,148
Speaker 9: Man of the Year was one of the greatest honors

543
00:22:34,148 --> 00:22:36,428
Speaker 9: that I've ever received. And I know, you know, we're

544
00:22:36,468 --> 00:22:39,828
Speaker 9: all NFL players and we're judged by what we do

545
00:22:39,908 --> 00:22:42,788
Speaker 9: on the field, but I think for me, it was

546
00:22:42,828 --> 00:22:45,908
Speaker 9: more important to be judged by what I've done off

547
00:22:45,908 --> 00:22:50,188
Speaker 9: the field because that's a legacy that will outlive even myself,

548
00:22:50,468 --> 00:22:52,748
Speaker 9: and that has always been my heart, you know, to

549
00:22:52,828 --> 00:22:55,148
Speaker 9: give back to help those that are in need, because

550
00:22:55,628 --> 00:22:58,108
Speaker 9: I've been in that position. I've been one who who

551
00:22:58,268 --> 00:23:01,508
Speaker 9: needed help. And I think for us as NFL players,

552
00:23:02,028 --> 00:23:04,948
Speaker 9: the platform that we have, I think it's I look

553
00:23:04,948 --> 00:23:06,628
Speaker 9: at it as a privilege, but I also look at

554
00:23:06,628 --> 00:23:09,508
Speaker 9: it as an obligation to pour back into the communities

555
00:23:09,508 --> 00:23:12,108
Speaker 9: where you come from and the communities that you played

556
00:23:12,108 --> 00:23:13,588
Speaker 9: in legacy.

557
00:23:13,588 --> 00:23:16,548
Speaker 2: I absolutely love an kwan a beast on the field,

558
00:23:16,548 --> 00:23:19,068
Speaker 2: but also building so much ALTI Fiel in your community.

559
00:23:19,068 --> 00:23:21,228
Speaker 2: Appreciate you coming through and blessing us with your prisence

560
00:23:21,268 --> 00:23:21,708
Speaker 2: this morning.

561
00:23:22,348 --> 00:23:26,388
Speaker 9: No problem man. Thank you guys for having me on.

562
00:23:25,468 --> 00:23:28,388
Speaker 3: What great historical connection he has to Super Wildcard weekend.

563
00:23:28,508 --> 00:23:29,628
Speaker 5: So many teams, so.

564
00:23:29,508 --> 00:23:40,148
Speaker 8: Many teams, so many quarterbacks, so much insight.

565
00:23:43,108 --> 00:23:47,268
Speaker 3: Good morning, Yeah, it's that time of the week.

566
00:23:47,348 --> 00:23:47,948
Speaker 4: It's time for.

567
00:23:47,988 --> 00:23:51,508
Speaker 3: What's your beef? Presented by old Trapper beef jerking jerky.

568
00:23:51,508 --> 00:23:54,148
Speaker 3: Normally I'm one of the people snagging one of these

569
00:23:54,148 --> 00:23:56,308
Speaker 3: bags and snagging I can't. I have business I have

570
00:23:56,348 --> 00:23:58,468
Speaker 3: to attend to, so I have beef this week. The

571
00:23:58,508 --> 00:24:02,508
Speaker 3: audacity this table has to produce nine hours of television

572
00:24:02,548 --> 00:24:06,068
Speaker 3: so far this week, four on Monday, three yesterday, and

573
00:24:06,068 --> 00:24:09,308
Speaker 3: two already today. Almost nearly nine hours of TV without

574
00:24:09,308 --> 00:24:12,468
Speaker 3: getting ahead of what could become the next great defensive

575
00:24:12,548 --> 00:24:16,348
Speaker 3: special teams play. To me, is unfathomable. I cannot believe

576
00:24:16,388 --> 00:24:18,788
Speaker 3: we have reached Wednesday at this time, alas it has

577
00:24:18,828 --> 00:24:23,148
Speaker 3: become my beef. On Sunday during Eagles Giants, with Philadelphia's

578
00:24:23,188 --> 00:24:25,708
Speaker 3: punter braiden Man backed up into his own end zone,

579
00:24:26,028 --> 00:24:28,668
Speaker 3: braiden Man rips off a punt, not without New York's

580
00:24:28,708 --> 00:24:31,428
Speaker 3: Cam Brown, Though firing off the line head full esteem

581
00:24:31,468 --> 00:24:33,988
Speaker 3: for the ball, Man gets the punt off no problem,

582
00:24:34,068 --> 00:24:34,468
Speaker 3: ball is.

583
00:24:34,468 --> 00:24:36,628
Speaker 4: In the air. Brown doesn't get to the ball.

584
00:24:36,468 --> 00:24:40,468
Speaker 3: Fine, but he does get a hold of something.

585
00:24:40,588 --> 00:24:41,828
Speaker 4: He gets a hold of the punter.

586
00:24:41,948 --> 00:24:43,908
Speaker 3: Braiden Man, this is not a beef with a flag

587
00:24:43,908 --> 00:24:44,988
Speaker 3: that was thrown or not thrown.

588
00:24:45,068 --> 00:24:46,068
Speaker 4: No, now I get it.

589
00:24:46,188 --> 00:24:49,428
Speaker 3: Kickers, punters, you're vulnerable in that position. You're up on

590
00:24:49,468 --> 00:24:53,068
Speaker 3: a pirouette for several seconds with your most precious kicking lamb,

591
00:24:53,148 --> 00:24:55,908
Speaker 3: all of your money hanging in the balance. You don't

592
00:24:55,908 --> 00:24:59,588
Speaker 3: deserve to be smashed into with reckless abandon alas though,

593
00:24:59,628 --> 00:25:03,668
Speaker 3: apparently we and Cam Brown have found a solution from

594
00:25:03,708 --> 00:25:06,668
Speaker 3: Sunday's game against Eagles and the Giants.

595
00:25:06,868 --> 00:25:08,508
Speaker 4: It's a hug, it's a wrap up.

596
00:25:08,988 --> 00:25:13,068
Speaker 3: Man is trying his best to deliver an NBA style

597
00:25:13,188 --> 00:25:16,468
Speaker 3: flop job that would have sent the yellow laundry flying.

598
00:25:16,828 --> 00:25:20,148
Speaker 3: Cam Brown says, absolutely not, absolutely not. You will not

599
00:25:20,308 --> 00:25:22,988
Speaker 3: lay down and this is a mere six inches from

600
00:25:23,028 --> 00:25:27,348
Speaker 3: a referee. My beef is in the vast expertise of

601
00:25:27,508 --> 00:25:32,588
Speaker 3: defensive special teams coaching. How has this technique not been perfected?

602
00:25:33,348 --> 00:25:37,148
Speaker 3: Bones Fossil, Danny Smith, Mike Westoff, I call to you,

603
00:25:37,268 --> 00:25:41,308
Speaker 3: let's move to innovate Cam Brown's ability to pull up

604
00:25:41,508 --> 00:25:46,068
Speaker 3: from full speed, collide, hug, embrace, sutter step, all within

605
00:25:46,268 --> 00:25:49,668
Speaker 3: three feet of the backfield official whose sole job it

606
00:25:49,748 --> 00:25:53,268
Speaker 3: is to protect the punter and not have a flag thrown.

607
00:25:53,668 --> 00:25:55,468
Speaker 4: It is a work of art, It is a thing

608
00:25:55,468 --> 00:25:57,908
Speaker 4: of beauty. Names of this play, I would like the

609
00:25:57,948 --> 00:25:59,388
Speaker 4: tablecare aw looker.

610
00:26:00,308 --> 00:26:02,948
Speaker 3: Could it be the punt pillow hug you gently lay

611
00:26:02,948 --> 00:26:05,228
Speaker 3: a pillow beneath the punter as you hug him and

612
00:26:05,268 --> 00:26:08,508
Speaker 3: say not today, my friend, or slow your role or

613
00:26:08,548 --> 00:26:12,068
Speaker 3: the Barbenheimer only because it's dark and twisted yet loving

614
00:26:12,148 --> 00:26:14,268
Speaker 3: and you learn a lesson at the same time. To

615
00:26:14,388 --> 00:26:17,228
Speaker 3: quote one of the most infamous song lyrics in the

616
00:26:17,268 --> 00:26:20,628
Speaker 3: last five years from Taylor Swift, It's me, Hi, I'm

617
00:26:20,668 --> 00:26:21,108
Speaker 3: the problem.

618
00:26:21,108 --> 00:26:21,428
Speaker 4: It's me.

619
00:26:21,548 --> 00:26:24,508
Speaker 3: Cam Brown instead said it's not me. This is not

620
00:26:24,708 --> 00:26:27,988
Speaker 3: going to be a problem. Definitely, don't flag me. So

621
00:26:28,028 --> 00:26:32,108
Speaker 3: my beef is how like the shove play by Philadelphia?

622
00:26:32,148 --> 00:26:34,708
Speaker 3: How have we not already given a name for this?

623
00:26:34,908 --> 00:26:37,668
Speaker 3: We know it's coming, we know this might be the

624
00:26:37,708 --> 00:26:40,708
Speaker 3: next great defensive special teams action that we see and

625
00:26:40,828 --> 00:26:43,148
Speaker 3: GMFB I call for us to be ahead of it.

626
00:26:43,548 --> 00:26:46,148
Speaker 4: Peter Schrigger, I am am in awe.

627
00:26:45,868 --> 00:26:46,548
Speaker 5: Of that play.

628
00:26:46,868 --> 00:26:49,468
Speaker 1: In awe of that, of that dissertation you just gave.

629
00:26:49,508 --> 00:26:52,068
Speaker 1: How we have never seen that before. It just goes

630
00:26:52,108 --> 00:26:54,308
Speaker 1: to show you the NFL is one hundred and four

631
00:26:54,388 --> 00:26:57,188
Speaker 1: years old. We have seen hundreds and hundreds and hundreds

632
00:26:57,228 --> 00:26:59,548
Speaker 1: of thousands of plays and ways.

633
00:26:59,268 --> 00:27:00,548
Speaker 5: To be done. This is the first.

634
00:27:00,548 --> 00:27:02,508
Speaker 1: The smartest thing all of these punters want to do

635
00:27:02,588 --> 00:27:04,308
Speaker 1: is flop and be hysterical.

636
00:27:04,668 --> 00:27:05,788
Speaker 5: Camberan wouldn't allow it.

637
00:27:06,108 --> 00:27:09,828
Speaker 1: Cam Bern, you were noble, You are wonderful, and unfortunately

638
00:27:09,868 --> 00:27:10,908
Speaker 1: his special team's coach.

639
00:27:10,788 --> 00:27:12,308
Speaker 5: Was literally fired hours after the game.

640
00:27:12,348 --> 00:27:15,548
Speaker 1: But besides that, I think that play itself, by the

641
00:27:15,588 --> 00:27:18,188
Speaker 1: individual deserves some kudos. I don't know about a name

642
00:27:18,268 --> 00:27:20,148
Speaker 1: or a moniker. I wasn't prepped for that, but I

643
00:27:20,188 --> 00:27:21,908
Speaker 1: do think this is the how you should do it.

644
00:27:21,948 --> 00:27:23,268
Speaker 1: Just hold him up and I'm not trying to hurt

645
00:27:23,268 --> 00:27:24,068
Speaker 1: the guy.

646
00:27:24,508 --> 00:27:27,228
Speaker 2: What I loved about displays. As a parent, you've been

647
00:27:27,268 --> 00:27:30,748
Speaker 2: in this situation, Brandon Man. That is a kid tantrum

648
00:27:30,788 --> 00:27:33,308
Speaker 2: if you've ever seen one. The flop of the head,

649
00:27:33,348 --> 00:27:34,908
Speaker 2: the flailing, the throw in the backs.

650
00:27:34,988 --> 00:27:37,468
Speaker 1: Usually in a supermarket or a target right like or

651
00:27:37,548 --> 00:27:38,828
Speaker 1: security line at the airport.

652
00:27:39,148 --> 00:27:41,428
Speaker 2: That's when they have the full belt now and you're

653
00:27:41,508 --> 00:27:43,428
Speaker 2: just holding them up and you're just pulling back because

654
00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:44,988
Speaker 2: you have to say face. You're in public. You can't

655
00:27:44,988 --> 00:27:46,868
Speaker 2: really do what you want to do. That's what's all

656
00:27:46,908 --> 00:27:49,068
Speaker 2: about cam Bern is just holding them there and just

657
00:27:49,148 --> 00:27:51,428
Speaker 2: the head flailing. To your point, how have we not

658
00:27:51,548 --> 00:27:52,948
Speaker 2: discussed that on Good Morning Football?

659
00:27:52,988 --> 00:27:53,468
Speaker 4: I can't believe.

660
00:27:53,508 --> 00:27:56,188
Speaker 2: I believe Well, I think the Firings had something to

661
00:27:56,228 --> 00:27:59,908
Speaker 2: do with that. And hen Busy, I think you're looking for.

662
00:27:59,908 --> 00:28:00,508
Speaker 5: A nickname here.

663
00:28:00,708 --> 00:28:03,868
Speaker 7: You mentioned the brotherly shove. This is like the brotherly hull.

664
00:28:03,988 --> 00:28:07,588
Speaker 7: Right to your point, this looks like kids. They did

665
00:28:07,588 --> 00:28:11,228
Speaker 7: you knock your sister down? No, I'm like they're fighting

666
00:28:11,588 --> 00:28:12,948
Speaker 7: the brother la hug I save it.

667
00:28:12,988 --> 00:28:13,908
Speaker 2: Look mom, I didn't hurt him.

668
00:28:14,388 --> 00:28:16,628
Speaker 4: My beef is. Let's not get this get away from us.

669
00:28:16,668 --> 00:28:20,708
Speaker 3: GMFB take ownership today. How can we not in the

670
00:28:20,748 --> 00:28:23,108
Speaker 3: show and not talking about them? Oh? Sorry, So this

671
00:28:23,188 --> 00:28:24,468
Speaker 3: is the back of the post. So it's with a

672
00:28:24,508 --> 00:28:27,028
Speaker 3: great stort with the great headlights. Split has hit the

673
00:28:27,068 --> 00:28:29,308
Speaker 3: fan with the New York Giants. We thought we had

674
00:28:29,388 --> 00:28:31,708
Speaker 3: escaped Monday without the Giants beaking any changes. They made

675
00:28:31,748 --> 00:28:34,948
Speaker 3: a huge one with Wigwartondale, not their decordinator anymore. And

676
00:28:35,028 --> 00:28:38,748
Speaker 3: on the inside pressure package, the story behind Wink's door slamming,

677
00:28:38,868 --> 00:28:42,828
Speaker 3: expletive filled exit from the Giants. We have a giant

678
00:28:42,828 --> 00:28:45,468
Speaker 3: great here, and we have a Peter Schrigger giant unpack.

679
00:28:46,028 --> 00:28:46,908
Speaker 5: He's still the defensive.

680
00:28:46,948 --> 00:28:49,028
Speaker 2: Yes, I was about to say still defensive.

681
00:28:48,668 --> 00:28:51,548
Speaker 7: Cleaning nothing officially yet, still the defense, corny, my mistake.

682
00:28:51,668 --> 00:28:53,388
Speaker 5: Wink walked out of the building, cursed off.

683
00:28:53,388 --> 00:28:56,948
Speaker 1: Brian Dabele said, how dare you fire my two assistants

684
00:28:56,948 --> 00:29:00,148
Speaker 1: without my consent? So the Wilkins brothers, Drew Kevin, those

685
00:29:00,148 --> 00:29:02,628
Speaker 1: are two guys that were with him in Baltimore. They're

686
00:29:02,708 --> 00:29:05,508
Speaker 1: let go Wink not happy with that decision. I think

687
00:29:05,508 --> 00:29:08,948
Speaker 1: he and Dabo was a toxic situation at the end

688
00:29:08,988 --> 00:29:11,908
Speaker 1: here anyway, so he leaves Wink from what I'm told,

689
00:29:11,988 --> 00:29:13,868
Speaker 1: And Mike Garrettfolo has been on this on Twitter, and

690
00:29:13,868 --> 00:29:15,788
Speaker 1: of course Paul Schwartz and Art Stapleton and all the.

691
00:29:15,748 --> 00:29:18,828
Speaker 2: Beat writers are on this week. Is in Florida right now.

692
00:29:18,908 --> 00:29:22,828
Speaker 1: However, he has not officially signed any papers resigning and

693
00:29:22,868 --> 00:29:25,868
Speaker 1: the Giants have not fired him. There are financial things

694
00:29:25,908 --> 00:29:27,988
Speaker 1: at play here, and as you see here from Mike.

695
00:29:28,028 --> 00:29:29,668
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, the Giants are not starting to look for a

696
00:29:29,708 --> 00:29:32,268
Speaker 5: new defensive coordinator, don't plan to because they want Wink

697
00:29:32,308 --> 00:29:33,188
Speaker 5: to be their DC.

698
00:29:33,668 --> 00:29:34,548
Speaker 2: Until he resigned.

699
00:29:34,548 --> 00:29:36,308
Speaker 5: So stay continue. So now it's a money thing.

700
00:29:36,588 --> 00:29:39,588
Speaker 1: Wink is do a certain amount of dollars and there's

701
00:29:39,628 --> 00:29:42,068
Speaker 1: some contractual things about what his next job could be.

702
00:29:42,108 --> 00:29:44,708
Speaker 1: All that stuff is in this article that Paul Schwartz

703
00:29:44,748 --> 00:29:45,548
Speaker 1: wrote in the New York Post.

704
00:29:45,628 --> 00:29:46,548
Speaker 5: But truth of the.

705
00:29:46,508 --> 00:29:49,108
Speaker 1: Matter is this, right now he is still employed by

706
00:29:49,108 --> 00:29:51,588
Speaker 1: the Giants, and right now the Giants have not heard

707
00:29:51,628 --> 00:29:53,748
Speaker 1: from Wink. And yet there are many photos of him

708
00:29:53,788 --> 00:29:56,428
Speaker 1: in Florida at the airport and him out enjoying the

709
00:29:56,468 --> 00:29:58,388
Speaker 1: life in the Florida as he is no longer with

710
00:29:58,468 --> 00:29:58,788
Speaker 1: the team.

711
00:29:58,948 --> 00:30:01,948
Speaker 3: Peter, when a coach is a contract like this, similar

712
00:30:01,988 --> 00:30:03,948
Speaker 3: to like if we hit a certain date in March

713
00:30:03,948 --> 00:30:04,388
Speaker 3: in a place?

714
00:30:04,668 --> 00:30:06,228
Speaker 4: Do money? Do coaches have things like that?

715
00:30:06,308 --> 00:30:08,188
Speaker 3: Is he waiting for a certain date to pass or

716
00:30:08,428 --> 00:30:09,508
Speaker 3: is under contract?

717
00:30:09,508 --> 00:30:11,548
Speaker 5: Good question. He's under contract for all of next year.

718
00:30:11,668 --> 00:30:12,388
Speaker 5: And if you're.

719
00:30:12,268 --> 00:30:15,828
Speaker 1: Fired, fired, you get paid out. If you resign, you

720
00:30:15,908 --> 00:30:18,188
Speaker 1: typically do not get paid out. So let's figure out

721
00:30:18,228 --> 00:30:19,308
Speaker 1: how it can come to something.

722
00:30:19,388 --> 00:30:21,948
Speaker 7: And yeah, well, coaches contracts are guaranteed, and that's kind

723
00:30:21,948 --> 00:30:23,348
Speaker 7: of one of always the things is like, yeah, so

724
00:30:23,428 --> 00:30:25,068
Speaker 7: you always feel bad when the coach gets fired, but

725
00:30:25,108 --> 00:30:27,068
Speaker 7: a lot of these coaches, they are like, they're getting

726
00:30:27,068 --> 00:30:29,188
Speaker 7: paid for the next four years even if they do nothing,

727
00:30:29,228 --> 00:30:30,188
Speaker 7: if they don't get off the couch.

728
00:30:30,428 --> 00:30:31,228
Speaker 2: This one, I.

729
00:30:31,148 --> 00:30:34,148
Speaker 7: Feel like it's just very rogue ish if that's only

730
00:30:34,188 --> 00:30:36,788
Speaker 7: word that I can think of with Wink, because players

731
00:30:36,828 --> 00:30:39,148
Speaker 7: love Wink, like I had interactions with Wink, like I

732
00:30:39,228 --> 00:30:41,988
Speaker 7: respect the guy, like he's he's a football guru. I

733
00:30:41,988 --> 00:30:43,628
Speaker 7: feel like this is a bad look, not just for

734
00:30:43,708 --> 00:30:45,988
Speaker 7: him right now, but also for the future, Like you

735
00:30:46,028 --> 00:30:48,988
Speaker 7: basically walked out on the team and the players like,

736
00:30:49,028 --> 00:30:51,708
Speaker 7: So we go in on Monday after the season aning loss.

737
00:30:51,868 --> 00:30:53,828
Speaker 7: I want to have my exit interview with my coach.

738
00:30:53,908 --> 00:30:55,908
Speaker 7: I want to like, I want to debrief. I want

739
00:30:55,908 --> 00:30:58,668
Speaker 7: to let's talk about all this stuff, let's hash it out. So, yeah,

740
00:30:58,708 --> 00:31:01,108
Speaker 7: this is the drama that I don't think anybody saw

741
00:31:01,148 --> 00:31:03,188
Speaker 7: coming because of the press commerce with Joe Shane. They

742
00:31:03,228 --> 00:31:05,188
Speaker 7: said we expect to have Wink in half and back

743
00:31:05,348 --> 00:31:05,908
Speaker 7: and then all.

744
00:31:05,868 --> 00:31:09,188
Speaker 5: Hell breaks the Wilkins bros.

745
00:31:09,708 --> 00:31:12,428
Speaker 2: Guys, It's funny. I saw Dory Jackson said, throughout the

746
00:31:12,508 --> 00:31:15,668
Speaker 2: course of the season, never saw anything between Dable and

747
00:31:15,708 --> 00:31:17,988
Speaker 2: Wing Martindale, so they kept it together. And I think

748
00:31:17,988 --> 00:31:20,748
Speaker 2: it's like a reminder of this thing is a business.

749
00:31:20,908 --> 00:31:22,828
Speaker 2: You've seen players hold out and they're like, oh, but

750
00:31:22,908 --> 00:31:24,708
Speaker 2: your guys like, no, I got to take care of

751
00:31:24,748 --> 00:31:26,788
Speaker 2: my business before I show up. So now what Wing

752
00:31:26,908 --> 00:31:29,388
Speaker 2: Martindale will Dable whatever's going on, It's like, well, we

753
00:31:29,468 --> 00:31:31,828
Speaker 2: got to take care of business before we can move forward,

754
00:31:31,828 --> 00:31:34,068
Speaker 2: before I can meet with the players and do everything

755
00:31:34,108 --> 00:31:36,708
Speaker 2: of that nature. As a former player, I always find

756
00:31:36,748 --> 00:31:40,188
Speaker 2: it really fascinating the relationships that go on behind closed

757
00:31:40,228 --> 00:31:42,748
Speaker 2: doors that you don't always get to see. Saying that,

758
00:31:42,788 --> 00:31:44,508
Speaker 2: all right, Wink and Dab will curse each other out

759
00:31:44,548 --> 00:31:46,348
Speaker 2: and then he left, Well, that's your boss. So if

760
00:31:46,388 --> 00:31:49,028
Speaker 2: you guys aren't getting along, it's almost impossible, how they say,

761
00:31:49,068 --> 00:31:50,908
Speaker 2: within a marriage, it's better for the kids if one

762
00:31:50,908 --> 00:31:52,748
Speaker 2: of us just leaves for Wink. It might be a

763
00:31:52,788 --> 00:31:55,108
Speaker 2: matter of, well, it's better for the defensive guys if

764
00:31:55,108 --> 00:31:56,708
Speaker 2: I'm not here, because me and Dabel are just going

765
00:31:56,788 --> 00:31:58,028
Speaker 2: to continue to He'll clash.

766
00:31:58,068 --> 00:32:00,548
Speaker 1: Say what we'll see now in the social media world,

767
00:32:00,548 --> 00:32:03,668
Speaker 1: the players will start chiming in. It seems like the

768
00:32:03,668 --> 00:32:05,628
Speaker 1: players have been chiming in here and there, and like

769
00:32:05,628 --> 00:32:06,708
Speaker 1: you said, at Dorry Jacks said he.

770
00:32:06,708 --> 00:32:09,188
Speaker 5: Hadn't seen it. And you also see the dynamics between

771
00:32:09,388 --> 00:32:12,908
Speaker 5: offense defense. Wink is a defensive coach. Let's see if

772
00:32:12,948 --> 00:32:15,108
Speaker 5: his guy's come in was an offensive coach. Let's see

773
00:32:15,108 --> 00:32:15,748
Speaker 5: who comes out where.

774
00:32:15,748 --> 00:32:18,748
Speaker 1: But John Marra and and Steve Titsch and the families,

775
00:32:18,788 --> 00:32:21,588
Speaker 1: those are proud people. I don't think this is what

776
00:32:21,628 --> 00:32:23,468
Speaker 1: they want to see on the page of the Yeah,

777
00:32:23,468 --> 00:32:25,988
Speaker 1: I would imagine this is settled somehow rather quickly.

778
00:32:26,068 --> 00:32:29,068
Speaker 7: What's crazy is that like Dables, Dable's awesome, Like everybody

779
00:32:29,108 --> 00:32:30,748
Speaker 7: loves them in the building, so like you would, you

780
00:32:30,788 --> 00:32:32,668
Speaker 7: would understand it if this was like, hey man, this

781
00:32:32,708 --> 00:32:35,468
