1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Um, we have a loaded pod on tap today from 2 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: Radio Road. Judy Batista from NFL Network is gonna join 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: us time or Naldy from Fox Sports, but we're gonna 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: start with you Ian Rap Report from NFL Network. Rap. 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: What's up? Man? What's going on? I'm great, I'm great, 6 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm loving it. What do you think you're a New 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: York guy. What do you think about the Jets this offseason? Um, 8 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really fascinating. I mean so many interesting 9 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: different things. First of all, Um, I like the hire 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: of Nathaniel Hackett. And you know, it's the one thing 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: to me that people don't understand and maybe we'll never 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: understand because I seem to go through it all the time. 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: Is being a head coach and being an offensive coordinator 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: are different jobs. Being a great o c or a 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: great play caller has literally no bearing on whether or 16 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: not you can be a good, good head coach. Nathaniel 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: hacker was not a good head coach. He also had 18 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: terrible play from his quarterback, but he was not a 19 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: good head coach. That is what it is. He has 20 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: been in his career a very good coordinator. Like there's 21 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: a reason that he was in that position. To me, 22 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: you look around the league and you try to figure out, 23 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: like who are these slam dunk chemists coordinators? And I 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: don't know who they are, But the Jets gotta really 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 1: experienced good one in Hackett. And I know everybody talks 26 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers and whatever, but like that's not why 27 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: they hired him. They hired him because he's very good, 28 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: and I think that'll be really big. And then it's like, 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, who's going to be their quarterback? Obviously a 30 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,919 Speaker 1: big question as well. How important was that for Robert 31 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: Solid to get somebody would actually call plays in the 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: National Football League priority coming here? Yeah, I thought it 33 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: was really good. And again, like you look around and 34 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: like who else is better? You know, I mean it 35 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: was the whole situation was interesting, Like you know, the 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: Jets basically said like, oh, you know, we allowed allowed 37 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: Michael Ford to seek other opportunities, and I'm sure everybody 38 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: rolled their eyes, but he got a great one, Like 39 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: that was a good move for you know, I think 40 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: someone who probably we deserved it. And then they fill 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: his post with Hackett, who you know, he sort of 42 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: depends on where it looks, but you know, definitely one 43 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: of the more coveted coordinators out there. I was surprised 44 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: he could. He's doing it for free. He's coaching for 45 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: free because he was gonna make the money anyway. But 46 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: he wanted, you know, he that's who he is. He 47 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: wanted to be in um, he wanted to be back coaching, 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: and he just needed a good situation. And you know, 49 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a good situation. Obviously, 50 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: which quarterback they choose is going to be somewhat telling, 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: but I do think it's a good situation. What do 52 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: you think wade more into the equation for him, the 53 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: connection with Sale or maybe some of the pieces that 54 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: Jets already have in place, and a briefe hall A 55 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson and Elijah Vera Tucker a very good defense 56 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: knowing that if he comes in and he's paired with 57 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: the new quarterback, we got a chance to win right 58 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: away here. Yeah. I mean, I think the you know, 59 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: the that's or are similar to maybe the Panthers. There's 60 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: not a lot of the teams that like this. We're like, 61 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: they are good all around, So all you need to 62 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: do is just drop in a quarterback whoever it is. 63 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: So whether it's you know, Aaron Rodgers or Derek Carr 64 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: or Baker Mayfield or Ryan Tannehill. If he gets cut 65 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: or traded, they're going to get someone in there who 66 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: is going to help make this thing better and elevate 67 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: it just a little bit. I really like the pieces 68 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: that the Jets have, Like the last two drafts have 69 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: been really really really high quality. Obviously still questions about Zach, 70 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: but all the other pieces really high quality. What do 71 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: you think it's going to be the first quarterback ultimately 72 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: to fall as we watched the Dominos Derek Carr, Yeah, 73 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: I think we'll know, you know, pretty soon. I mean, 74 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: does does a trade happen anywhere? Does it happen to 75 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: the Saints as it happened somewhere else? Um? Does he 76 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: get cut? And if he gets cut, you know, I 77 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: would expect him to sign relatively quickly before free agency 78 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: because that's sort of his advantage. And then you know 79 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: it's him, and then maybe we figure out where Aaron 80 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: Rodgers is going. Um, you know, I think that's something 81 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: to find out as well, and then everything else will 82 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: fall into place after that. Um, but those are two 83 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: really really big dominoes. You're feeling right now? Do you 84 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: think he's playing next year Rogers Rogers? I know, it 85 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: seems like it started to get away. Yeah, I mean 86 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: my guess is yes, I don't truly know. Um, I 87 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: don't know it's going to come out of the dark 88 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: room meditation. Um. And I don't even joke about that, 89 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: Like I think it's I generally don't care what these 90 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: guys do on their own time, but like, if that's 91 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: what he needs to do for his like personal health, 92 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: like should definitely do it. I think it's not something 93 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: I would want to do, but do it, like you know, 94 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: like all the things, whatever it takes to get you 95 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: back to like being in a good place mentally, do that. 96 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: We'll see what comes out of that, if he plays 97 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: or not. My guess is yes, because sixty million dollars right, Um, 98 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: But whether he want to be with the Packers or not, 99 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: I truly do not know. If indeed, Jimmy Garoppolo it's 100 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: the market himself. But she's going to So what do 101 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: you think is gonna be out there as far as 102 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: teams pursuing them? Um, this team would be one potentially, 103 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see if they end up with someone 104 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: else first. Um, but this would be one. You know, 105 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: I think he's a really good option. You know, he 106 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: is not that old. He is a good person. He 107 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: has dealt with a lot, a lot. So, like the Jets, 108 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,559 Speaker 1: media market is not for everyone. I don't think Jimmy 109 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: Garoppolo would care. I think he would be fine, right, 110 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: um and not going to be crazy costs you know. 111 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: Um So to me, um, I would say that would 112 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: like for the Jets, that would make sense. Panthers, maybe, 113 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: the Titans, um Bucks maybe seems like tremendous reputations. Oh 114 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: he's a great guy. Oh he's great everybody in the organization. 115 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean, if he ended up as as the Jets quarterback, 116 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: I think fans would be pretty happy. Like, you know, 117 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: his level of play is what it is. He's never 118 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: gonna be Patrick Mahomes, but like been to super Bowls, 119 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: you know, like was leading this team to one before 120 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: we got injured. Like, definitely good enough if the Jets 121 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: get one of those top tier guys. As far as 122 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: the people are going to be out there, do you 123 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: see this team being a playoff squad in two thousand 124 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: twenty three? Should be has the talent to you know, Now, 125 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: this was a hard year, but so much revolved around 126 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback. I mean, every every Wednesday was a who 127 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: Who's gonna be the Jets starting quarterback? Like that's not obviously, 128 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: that's not a way to win, and that changes everything, 129 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: and it alters the way players react, it alters I mean, 130 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: it's just it's everything. So if you get consistent good 131 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: quarterback play, this should be a team that should make 132 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: a pretty significant lead. What do you think about We're 133 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: taping this yere on Wednesday of Super Bowl week, but 134 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: Thursday night for the Jets at NFL honors potentially Sauce 135 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: Gardner Defensive Rookie of the Year, Garrett Wilson Offensive Rookie 136 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: of the Year. Let's start there, which is crazy because 137 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: which is crazy because they actually could have had a 138 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: different rookie win that same award. I mean, think about 139 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: that draft class, like I don't know if Briest Hall 140 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: is gonna become and you hope that he's doing well 141 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: and coming back from his knee injury as he should, 142 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: but like legit potential rock star, like truly excellent player, 143 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: and he my guess is he would have been the 144 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Offensive Rookie of the Year had he not got to intromittent. 145 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: My god, he was aver just six point eight yards 146 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: of touch when and that seems low considering how ridiculous 147 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: he looked, you know, speaking of rock stars, Sauce Gardner 148 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: just doesn't. Yeah, what's so interesting about him? Like the 149 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: name is great, and his personality seems to be like 150 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: fun good. He is like as solid and basic a 151 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: player as you could. I'm not going to say he's 152 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: Derrell Rivers, because nobody is Derrell Rivers, but kind of 153 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: remind me of him, and that like a matter of 154 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: fact way that he handles his business on the field 155 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: like he is solid man like he is. That is 156 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: gonna end up being an excellent pick. And what's so 157 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: interesting too, is like we talked about projecting guys in 158 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: the draft process. We're about to get into this now. 159 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: In college he allowed almost no receptions or maybe no 160 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: receptions and no touchdowns, and then it was like, well, 161 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: how's it going to translate? And then he got to 162 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: the NFL and it's been exactly the same, same, exact 163 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: level of playing, quality of play has been better, He's 164 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: been exactly the same. It's just really good. Did you 165 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: like the way Sala handled himself throughout last year, despite 166 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: all the adversity, especially inside the room with the guys. Yeah, 167 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: it's really hard. I mean it's really hard. Now, he 168 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: was you know, he was very positive. Um and I 169 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: think one thing that he kind of understands about this 170 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: is you are not just head coach, you're also lead spokesman. 171 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: And so there's plenty of times where you know, yes 172 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: he's talking to media, but really he's talking to his 173 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: players through the medium of TV or whatever. Right, So 174 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: like NFL Network ESPN is playing in the facility, everyone 175 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: gets the videos on their phones, players see the press conference. 176 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: He did a good job of setting the tone and 177 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: be like, who's ever out here, We're gonna play with 178 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: this guy which whichever quarterback it is. And that was 179 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: he never he never let the constant quarterback movement kind 180 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: of change who he is or what he projected. Not 181 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: that that was really important. Uh, you live in New York, 182 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: you have people in the neighborhood, you got family members, 183 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna be asking you about the Jets. Where do 184 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: you think every single day. But so as we entered 185 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: this offseason the next couple of months, where do you 186 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: think the Jets are gonna be in terms of NFL 187 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: talk because with the quarterback situation and I'm being out there, 188 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the more important teams this offseason, right, 189 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing more important than the quarterback. The 190 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: Jets are have said we're gonna go to veteran quarterback, 191 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: so we know they're going to get someone. I mean, 192 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna be one of the most talked about teams 193 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL. And that's pretty fun now for me 194 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: walking around in Westchester, like I'm gonna be asked about 195 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: the Jets every day, but I've never really minded it before. 196 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: So it'll be fine. All right, listen, I appreciate your 197 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: time as always, uh, and get some rest. After this 198 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: is all said and done, I will try. It's going 199 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: to be a little bit of a busy offsene forward. 200 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: We'll be seen. The official podcast is presented by When 201 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: Beat Betty is a team sport bet together at Win 202 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: bet Eric Allen alongside NFL Networks Judy Batista, who's having 203 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: a monster laugh here at the top of the pod. 204 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: Who caught your eye over there? Uh, Maggie Gray and 205 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: k Adams are over They're saying hi, okay, So I 206 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: was just waving so how many super Bowls is this 207 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: for you? Now? Oh god, um this I think this 208 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: might be like twenty five or so. Um, that's really something. 209 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: It is. It has changed even in that like that 210 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: feels like a short period of time to me, and 211 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: it has changed. It has gone crazy even in that 212 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: period of time. What's this week like for you? Um, 213 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: it's busy, but it's um, this is you know, this 214 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: is the first normal super Bowl we've had in three years, 215 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: like where it's back to normal access to the teams 216 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: and normal radio row and like everything's in person again 217 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: like last year it was still sort of restricted because 218 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: of the pandemic. So it's nice to sort of be back, 219 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: Like it's going to be nice to actually see the 220 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: teams not by zoom, you know, would be great. What 221 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: do you think about the game matchup itself? Because you're 222 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: gonna be covering not just the Eagles, not just the Chiefs, 223 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: but both thieves. Well, I mean there are the two 224 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: number one seeds, so I'm not sure you can do 225 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: better than that. And obviously both at the quarterbacks have 226 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: just been crazy great that these are such good teams 227 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: and complete teams. Um, it's hard to find the weakness 228 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: on them. I'm I'm looking forward to I think it'll 229 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: be a close game whatever it is. Um, you know, 230 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: the X factor obviously is how how is mahomes ankle? 231 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: But given what we saw in the a f C 232 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: Championship game, I'm not sure we should even spend a 233 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: whole lot of time worrying about that. You can't count 234 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: him out no matter what happens, and this is his 235 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: games close in the fourth quarter, I mean, we saw 236 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: him take off on a third down run and we 237 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: thought he couldn't move. So yeah, he's that was like 238 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: a legacy defining performance. Um, no matter what happens in 239 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: this Super Bowl, that performance on one leg is we'll 240 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: be talking about that for a while. So hopefully in 241 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: a few weeks we will be talking again in Arizona 242 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: at the annual league meetings. We always sketch up there 243 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: and that will be and at the Combine, Yes we've 244 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: got the combine in the middle, yes we do. But 245 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: the lead meetings will come a couple of weeks after 246 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: free agency begins. What do you think about where the 247 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: New York Jets are at here? As Robert Sala was 248 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: clear about it that the Jets will be in the 249 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: market for a vegan quarterback. You think we're gonna have 250 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: an answer by that time. I was gonna ask you that, Um, 251 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: what's going to happen over the next couple of weeks. 252 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: I think that's a really good question. I think there's 253 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of quarterback movement, which I feel 254 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: like we've had the last few off seasons, like just 255 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: dramatic quarterback movement. But I mean you can see that, 256 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's no secret that's the handwriting is on 257 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: the wall for a few of them. I mean, Aaron 258 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: Rodgers is clearly open to movement. Do you think he's 259 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: playing next year? Aaron Rodgers? Yes, I think he'll play 260 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: next year. He's he's still playing at high enough level 261 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: that I can't imagine him walking away. Can you imagine 262 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: him not playing in Green? But I mean it's hard 263 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: to imagine. But I think we're going to have to 264 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: get comfortable with that idea because it seems like it's possible, 265 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, at the very least, it seems like it's 266 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: possible on both sides. Seems to be somewhat comfortable with 267 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: the idea. Um, I think it'll be weird, but we've 268 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: seen weird stuff before and then you know, I mean, 269 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: obviously Derek Carr is going to be somewhere that's not 270 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Jimmy Garoppolo, for the second year in a row, 271 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,479 Speaker 1: it's been said he will not be in San Francisco. 272 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: I just love how they have exactly the same pres conference, like, 273 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo will not bear Wait a minute, you said 274 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: exactly that last year. So you know, you've got some 275 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: big quarterbacks on the move. The only one you don't 276 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: have his Tom Brady right like. He took care of that. 277 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: So that's the only one that you were wondering what 278 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: was going to happen all of those guys potentially leaving 279 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: where they're at right now, who do you think makes 280 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: the most sense? If you're if you're the Jets right now, 281 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: if you're in there with the personnel meetings, you coming 282 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: up with an off season plan, how would you rank them? 283 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: Because it's not only system fit, it's not only organization fit, 284 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: but it's also a New York fit. There's just so 285 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: many factors involved. Well, look, I mean the home run 286 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: hit is is Roger's right um and Nathaniel Hacketts there, 287 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean, he is a superstar, superstar, 288 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: superstar quarterback. Um, you and I lived through the Brett 289 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: Farve thing like that makes me feel a little too 290 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: close to that. I'm like, oh, that's too too much. Um. 291 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: So I don't know if that will happen, But not 292 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: because of the far of comparison, but just because I 293 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: can't in my brain get around the idea of like 294 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: reliving like it's the Packers quarterback and now he's with 295 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: the Jets. I actually think, um, Jimmy Garoppolo makes a 296 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: ton of sense, um, you know. I mean the only 297 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: concern you have abou Jimy Garoppolo is can you stay 298 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: on the field for a whole season? That's been the problem. 299 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: But I think he makes some sense um age wise, 300 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: and you know, I mean the question I would have 301 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: with Rogers is, you know, if he's here for how 302 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: long and how much more does he want to play? 303 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: Because that seems to be for him at least eight 304 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: year to a year you know, thing that he has 305 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: to think through, right, which is understandable, right. I Mean 306 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: he's obviously a guy with you know, other with outside interests, 307 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: and like you know, he's a curious type. So I mean, 308 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: it's understandable that every year he comes to the end 309 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: of the season and wants to think about what he 310 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: wants to do. But that's probably not where the New 311 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: York Jets want to be or the year. But they 312 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: have a good, really good young nucleus of talent, So 313 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: you'd want some sort of solidity at that position for 314 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: more than a year. Um, and so Garoppolo probably fits 315 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: that the best. Um, we'll see, it's going to be interesting. 316 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: So Judy possibly with a Garoppolo Lean, I don't know, 317 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: I don't I guess we have to see how I 318 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: was talking to your colleague Omar Ruiz before. He said, 319 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: if you're the Jets, hey, listen, you swing for the fence. Absolutely, 320 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: of course you do. Why why wouldn't you, right, I mean, 321 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: of course, and you do have Listen. I was impressed 322 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: with I think we all were. Some of the young 323 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: players on the team. You have players that if you 324 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: get the quarterback in there, um, you know, you can 325 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: certainly get to the playoffs and maybe you know, rattle 326 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: some cages in the a f c Um. Of course 327 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: you'd take a shot at Aaron Rodgers like you'd be 328 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: crazy not to like if there's any door opened there. 329 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: If it's opened even just a little bit, you have 330 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: to try to kick it open, um, you know, and 331 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: then if that doesn't work, you go to Plan B C. 332 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: Do you know whatever. However it is that they're ranking 333 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: them in their heads, First of all, I think he 334 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: would be a good personality fit with New York, Like 335 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: he's like, think of what his career has been, Like 336 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: it's been weird, you know, like he was drafted to 337 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: sort of replace Tom Brady, and then Tom Brady said 338 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: hold on a minute, like I'm not quite done here, um, 339 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: And so you know he's handled all of that well 340 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: San Francisco, same sort of weird thing. I mean last 341 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: year to basically be sent out to pasture and like 342 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: literally practicing a throwing on the side during training camp, 343 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: like you know, like don't get near the real team, 344 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: and then to have to come in and play after 345 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: Trey Lance gets and play well and then he gets hurt. 346 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: Like to have the personality to handle all of that, 347 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: like that's tough on a competitor, and so I actually 348 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: think his personality would would be a good fit in 349 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: New York, which as we know, is not for everybody. Um, 350 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: it's not easy, but I think he's got a really 351 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: steady sort of personality. He does not get ruffled by 352 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: all of the outside stuff, and that would be good 353 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: in New York, Um, you know, and that would be 354 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: something I would you know, Aaron Rodgers is very aware 355 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: of everything that is said and written, and so I 356 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 1: wonder how that would be in New York. You know, 357 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: that would be really fast, That would be fascinating. Um, 358 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: how attractive are the Jets to these guys in the 359 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: market who potentially they could be having conversations with if 360 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: you're a quarterback, if you're a signal caller, how attractive 361 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 1: is this spot? Right now? We know about the history. 362 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: The Jests have been in a playoff since two thousand times. 363 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: But you were talking about I think it's I think 364 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: it's more attractive than it has been recently because you 365 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: have some really young, dynamic players, I mean right, like 366 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,239 Speaker 1: players watch other players, right, so they're all aware. If 367 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: your quarterback, you're aware of Garrett Wilson, Um, you know 368 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: you're you know, you're you're aware of Sauce Gardner, like 369 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: you're aware that they you know, Quent and Williams. I mean, 370 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: they know you've got so, I think it's certainly more 371 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: attractive than it has been in recent years. I guess 372 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: I would have to think of what the other teams 373 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: are that are going to be in the quarterback market 374 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: that could you know or to rank, like, are they 375 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: the most attractive option? I don't you know who knows. Well, 376 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: it's interesting because some of those teams, right you were 377 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: at the top of the draft. I don't think the Jets, 378 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: after what's happened the last few years, would are going 379 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: to be drafting a quarterback. Maybe if you're in the 380 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts and you went the other route the last 381 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: couple of times, I'd be surprised if the Colts do 382 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: not draft right back. Now, Yes, I agree, I do not. 383 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: It's hard for me to imagine that the Jets draft 384 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback high like we've just sort of been through 385 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: that and it's you know, can't imagine that happening whatsoever. 386 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: Um you mentioned the Jets young guys, Gardner Um and 387 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: Durrell Revis are both up for big time honors this week. 388 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: Gardner's already Pro Bowler, He's already an All Pro. Now 389 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: he could be the defensive rookie of the Year. Voted 390 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: by the Associated process is gonna be announced Thursday night. Revis, 391 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: in his first year of eligibility for the Pro Football 392 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, could hear the Okay, so so talk 393 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: about those guys, talk about Gardner and year one. Talk 394 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: about Revis in his legacy and how much you enjoyed 395 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: covering him and how much you appreciated what he brought 396 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: to the table. Well, if Darrell Revis isn't a first 397 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer, then I don't I'm not sure 398 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: what a first ballot Hall of Famer looks like, right, 399 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: I mean so much? First of all, so much of 400 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: being a first ballot Hall of Famer is also about 401 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: who else is on the ballot, because it's you know, 402 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: they've got to get certain people in and they can 403 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: only get a number in. But that doesn't seem to 404 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: be the case this year. I thought the only other 405 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,239 Speaker 1: guy who really stood out to right, So to me, 406 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: that's a no brain like I will be absolutely floored 407 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: if he is not in floored. Um, he's I mean right, 408 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: I mean literally for years, like nobody ever threw to 409 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: that side of the field because I'm like, oh, I 410 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: he would just take people out, So he should be 411 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: in um Man sauce is just I mean, gosh, is 412 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: he fun? You know? And I think he's certainly has 413 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: the potential to be that where he just erases people 414 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: for years, um and opponents just don't even bother going 415 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: in that direction. Um, And he's just got the big 416 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: personality fun. Yes, he's super. Yeah, I mean he's he 417 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: has got a good way about it really. Yes, he 418 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: has handled it really well, which I always admire because 419 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: I know New York is not the easiest place, and 420 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: I I'm sure for a rookie it is especially sort 421 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: of like you know, a smack in the face like um. 422 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: But and especially because you know, obviously this season was 423 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: not the smoothest one and was not the easiest one, 424 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: and I appreciate how the young guys handled themselves. What's 425 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: your most favorite memory covering Rebus? Do you have one? Anything? 426 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: Saying out man, I can't think of one right now 427 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: when we could have. I always I always tell people 428 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: that he was the best practice player I've ever seen, 429 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: and he was very competitive in practice too, like well, 430 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: the best player. I think the best players are almost 431 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: always like that, Like Tom Brady like famously in practice 432 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: would get like you know, if they were supposed to 433 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: like throw the ball into the trash can, if they 434 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: were playing that game, and like he missed, like he'd 435 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: like stopped the game, like right, Peyton Man, Like the 436 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: best players are are like that, like they practice the 437 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: way they play. Um. So, yes, that's certainly true and 438 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: just ultra competitive, just crazy competitive. What about click here? 439 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: You go that that? I don't know, it's it's been 440 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: a long time, a long wait for him. It seems 441 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: like he's going to get the stamp. Yes, what do 442 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: you think about what he was able to do as 443 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: a player and the defensive and position defensive tackle nolds tackle, 444 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: just reinventing himself, be able to dominate it three different 445 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 1: spots along the defensive line. And then you know, how 446 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: do you think he's gonna feel after it is thirty years? 447 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: I can't imagine how great it would feel right for him, 448 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: like it would be, I mean, it would be fantastic. 449 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: I love Joe Clicko first of all because I remember 450 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: him as a player right and he was awesome, But 451 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: also because Clicko as a broadcaster is like the most 452 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: emotional Jets fan I can remember watching putting him on 453 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: and it was after a bad loss. I can't remember 454 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: what year it was, but it was after a loss 455 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: that should not have happened, like they blew a lead 456 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: or something, and he was so emotional and upset and 457 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: like you know, and wound up about it that he 458 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: was on a set and he literally was like having 459 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: trouble staying seated. He kept like he was so I 460 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: always I love that he still cares that much. You 461 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: know that it still means that much to him. Um, 462 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: I can't imagine how great it would be, right, Yeah, 463 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: I mean obviously just wanted to be in the postseason, 464 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: but this is a pretty big week for the organization 465 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: because you got Sauce. We've been talk about him, you 466 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: got Click, you got Reeves at Wilson, right, and we 467 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: haven't even I do feel like, look, obviously the quarterback 468 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: situation went sideways, but I do feel like the arrow 469 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: is pointing up on the franchise. I really feel that way. 470 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: And it's not just because I hope that they do 471 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: well and you know, and it's New York and so 472 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: I want the home teams to do well, but like 473 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: I do feel like the you have a good core 474 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: of young players. Um, you obviously always need more. But 475 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: like I do feel like if you can solve the 476 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: quarterbacks situation. I know we've been saying that for however 477 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: many years. It's a big but do you think they 478 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: are do you do? Do you think they're We all 479 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: would say, hey, they're getting a veteran, but do you 480 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: think they're going to get one of these top flight 481 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: veterans that we've been talking about. Look, I think if 482 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: we know anything about Woody Johnson, it's like he is 483 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: not afraid to do that, um and and actually he 484 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: likes it, right, I mean he wants, he likes big names, 485 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: and he is not afraid to have those on his team. 486 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: So yes, I would say they are likely to come 487 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: away with one of these big name veterans. So there 488 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: you go. So then let's go back to oh wait, 489 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: you were on the ground, boots on the ground, Host University. 490 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: We've a bank hall. Oh my god, that was insane 491 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: your memories of Brett Farm And I'm not comparing it 492 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: to Rogers, but I'm saying this was a big fish 493 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: the Jets so big, you know, interesting spot because Jaff 494 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: Pennington was the quarterback at the time and Mike Tannebaum, 495 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: I remember he didn't do this conference. It wasn't even 496 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: that night because the Jets were lane Cleveland in a 497 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: preseason me I know, okay, so we all had to 498 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: fly to Cleveland, right, So the deal was done the 499 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: night before, right, I believe Mike did a midnight conference 500 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: call with the writers. Right, So first of all, like 501 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,719 Speaker 1: you're wired, like, holy cow, they just got Brett far 502 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: You're writing this on deadline at night, we're doing this, 503 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: and then you realize, oh my god, we gotta get 504 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: to Cleveland the next day now, so now you're like 505 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: frantically getting I just remember being in Cleveland and like, 506 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, on like an hour of sleep and like, 507 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: and I remember he was late. Farv was like getting 508 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 1: to the press conference and we were jammed into like 509 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: this small room lined up waiting for the press contence 510 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: he was. They were late getting in there, and it 511 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: was just like and it was you know, it was 512 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: a full on circus, right, I mean, this is Brett 513 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: farve Um, and I mean it was crazy. And I 514 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: do remember like then, you know, you're at practices and 515 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:03,239 Speaker 1: it's like dozens of reporters, like cameras everywhere, and mean, 516 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 1: it was like a playoff week. It was nuts, and 517 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: you know, because it ended badly, people forget how it started. 518 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: It started really well. It started really well, and you 519 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: felt like, oh my god, okay, and then obviously he 520 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: got hurt and things went south. But um, the whole 521 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: year was That whole year was crazy. But the excitement 522 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: of the first half of the season when things were 523 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: going well is why you sort of think, like Alaron Rodgers, right, 524 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: because you had that taste of you know, I do 525 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: I feel like this is a general commentary, but like 526 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: I feel like New York teams, not just in football, 527 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: but the baseball teams for so long had not been good, 528 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: Like we had that sort of fallow period in New 529 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: York sports. And then when the Rangers went on the 530 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: run to the Stanley Cup finals that you're like, it 531 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: sort of reminded you how greed it is when a 532 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: team goes on a run, and how exciting it is, 533 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: and how everybody is paying attention. So you are a 534 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: neutral observer, but as a New Yorker, you know you 535 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: want big story. Of course, you want the big fish. Absolutely, yeah, 536 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people out there, listen. Brian 537 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: day Ball used to work at the Jets, me personally, 538 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: I was happy for success because he's a good, good dud. Yeah, 539 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: great guy. I'd always I'm always other thinking that, hey, 540 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: giants have your success, hopefully we have our success too, 541 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: and then the city is really something else when you 542 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: got both teams. Absolutely, that would be the ideal situation 543 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: is both teams rising at the same time, because, um, 544 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: because there's nothing like it, like when a team when 545 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: New York teams get into the playoffs, like I mean, 546 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: we saw it. We saw it, you know for a 547 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: week there with the Giants, Like people get really energized, 548 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: and I believe because it's been a while for the Jets, 549 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: like Jets fans would go bananas, you know, I mean, 550 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: like we saw this when they went to those two 551 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: years that they went to the a f C Championship game, right, 552 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: and like people get like crazy, it's so much fun. 553 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: But I agree, I mean, like I like big Fish, 554 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: like you want the biggest stars in New York and 555 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: you know Stain Rogers come on so super fun. Oh 556 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: you ever wonder what would have happened to that team 557 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: hadn't far hurt that shoulder because they had that post 558 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day game against the Denver Broncos raining that day, 559 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: and then, like I said, wheels kind of fell off 560 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: after that. I remember going to Seattle late in the 561 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: year where the chests just had nothing and there came 562 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: out of the building that ultimately led to not only 563 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: Farve's departure, Eric Mangini's departure and Rex Ryan comes in 564 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: in two thousand nine, and then those are the jets 565 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: last two playoff appearances O. Nine and ton I do wonder, well, right, 566 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: you can do that sort of sliding doors thing all 567 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: the time, like if if Farv doesn't get hurt, what 568 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: happens to that team? Like, and then is Mangini is 569 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: still there or whatever happens director we never have Rex Ryan, 570 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: like all of those things. I do wonder what would 571 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: have happened to that team because they were good, they 572 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: were good, they were and Brady was hurt. Yeah, so 573 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: you had an opening there, um, which is obviously the 574 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: problem that you will have in the a f C 575 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: East for as long as Josh Allen is you know, 576 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: is in Buffalo, right, But like you're right, there was 577 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: an opening. Brady was hurt. You had, you know, you 578 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: had the chance. I do wonder what would happen because 579 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: that that team was playing well and it was really 580 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: exciting and you could sort of see the like this 581 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: team has like could cause some trouble here. Ye talking 582 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: to Thomas Jones about those teams the other day. He 583 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: had a great three years stretch with the Jets, very productive, 584 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: had a pleasure to cover. Yeah, he was a pleasure 585 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: to cover. Yeah. A good dude. All right, So let's 586 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: end here before I got to put you on the 587 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: hot seat for a Super Bowl prediction. No, but, um, Jets, 588 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: do you think they've closed the gap inside an f 589 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: C East? I mean, is the gap closing between Buffalo 590 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: and not just the Jets in New England? Because you 591 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: looked at way Buffalo and dured a lot this season, 592 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: a lot off the field, a lot on the field. 593 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: The Damar Hamlin situation. Obviously, it seems like he's in 594 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: a lot better spot. Um, but they were all classed 595 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: by Cincinnati, and there were warning spots, I mean warning 596 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: signals I think down the line for the Bills of 597 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: the way they were winning games. Jets split with them 598 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: this season New England. Obviously they need some more offensive stability, 599 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: some more punch there they get. Bill O'Brien, I like 600 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,959 Speaker 1: what the Dolphins did, adding Vic Fangio's defensive coordinator, and 601 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: they took some steps forward last year. It feels to me, 602 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: before we enter the next couple of months that the 603 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: gap amongst these four teams isn't much. I would agree 604 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: with that. I'll say this about the Bills. I think 605 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: they ran out of gas emotionally, and I think you 606 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: could see that at the Damar Hamlin thing obviously took 607 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: an enormous toll on them. And frankly, even watching it 608 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: while it was happening, um, you know, when we knew 609 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: he was recovering towards the end of that week, um, 610 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: and we knew he was, you know, he was going 611 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: to be okay. Even then, the team looked exhausted, understandably 612 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: wrung out, and they never got past that, and you 613 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: sort of wondered, how are they going to get themselves 614 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: back up to play, you know, playoff football against you know, 615 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: the Bengals were rolling, and so I think that's what 616 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: happened to the Bills inuries to hide out there. So 617 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: I'm not so I expect the Bills to be okay 618 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: next year. You know, I don't think that's a permanent condition. Listen, 619 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: there are questions about every other team, right the Dolphins, Like, yes, 620 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: I like what they did, but like, you know, can 621 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: to a stay healthy? I mean this is and I'm 622 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: not just talking about concussions. Can he stay healthy on 623 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: the field, That's a big They are a different team, 624 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: we saw that. And then you know, New England to 625 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: me is the biggest question mark because you're like, are 626 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: they going to go back to like having a normal 627 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: offense like last year was such so odd? Odd is 628 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: the only word I can come up with. And so 629 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: I can't imagine that that condition would be allowed to 630 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: continue in New England. That's just not help. I mean, 631 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,479 Speaker 1: phill Belichick wants to win football games, so are they 632 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: going to go back? And can Mac Jones get back 633 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: up to the level we saw of him as a rookie? 634 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,479 Speaker 1: Can they get him some real receivers? Which they they 635 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,719 Speaker 1: do have a solid defense. They have a solid defense, 636 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick is a defensive mastermind, so the defense 637 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: is never gonna be terrible, but like, can they get 638 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: him some real weapons because they still don't have that. 639 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: Um So I have some questions about the Patriots, but 640 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: I do feel like generally all of the teams are 641 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: at least in the more in the mix, you know, 642 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: and and it's more competitive. It's not like the years 643 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: when Brady was in New England where it would be 644 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: just like a runaway and you know, you'd be like 645 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: halfway through the season and be like, Okay, you know 646 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: this is over. I don't feel like it's that. It's 647 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: that I think the teams have closed. Again. Were you 648 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: in New England September? I was worse. And I was 649 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: there for the tuck Rule game and all of those. 650 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: Like whenever they run the Tom Brady retrospectives, I'm like, 651 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah, I was not that game too. Yes, 652 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: it is amazing. Okay, the final thoughts on the game here, 653 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: I think what I picked for NFL uh dot com, 654 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: So I better be consistent. I picked the Eagles to win. Um, 655 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: they feel like the more complete team. But you know, 656 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: I just don't want the ball. Oh god, no, Um, yeah, 657 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's gonna be close. I don't 658 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 1: think it's a this is a blowout. I'd be surprised 659 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: if we see like that. The way Tampa Babe beat 660 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: the Chiefs the last time they were in the Super 661 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: Bowl is such an aberration for Chiefs games like they 662 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: just don't get blown out. They every game. Even if 663 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: they lose, they lose by three points, So I think 664 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: it'll be a close game. I agree, like if Mahomes 665 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: says the ball last and it's close, like my pick 666 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: might be bad. Um, But I do feel like the 667 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: Eagles are the more complete team. Both the offensive and 668 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: defensive lines are ridiculous, ridiculous, and they can run. They've 669 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: got the They've obviously got the weapons. Jalen Hurts has 670 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: been fantastic. Um. Yeah, they feel like the more complete team. Tony, 671 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: enjoy your stay, Phoenix. You're gonna be here for a 672 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: long time, and then we will see you in Indie 673 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: for a couple of days, and then we'll be right 674 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: back out here in Arizona, which is not going to 675 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: be a bad thing. I look forward to it to 676 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: see Jets fans were in our final push and the 677 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: clock is ticking.

We 689 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: do not have Jets super fan Robert Ronaldi, so we're 690 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: gonna have to settle for one of professional sports best storytellers. 691 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,919 Speaker 1: I would argue maybe the best of all. That's Tom Rinaldi. Yeah, 692 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: and Robert Ronaldi's brother, otherwise known in our house. Yeah. 693 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: The reference there being that my brother got season tickets 694 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: to the Jets when he was eighteen years old as 695 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: a freshman in college and has gone to virtually every 696 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: game ever since. Dedicated fan. I know, So what does 697 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: Robert think of the Jets after the two thousand twenty 698 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: two seasons? I mean, how much time do we have? 699 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, gracious, I don't think you want to 700 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: open that door to the GM you know, sitting in 701 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: his living room and and supposedly has all the solutions. Uh, listen, 702 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: I I think when you when you look back, we 703 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 1: had the Jets in lambaul I had the Jets sideline 704 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:14,760 Speaker 1: in Lambeau. What a moment. And to think of where 705 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 1: the season ended up from that pinnacle is tough. But 706 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: when you take a step back and you look at 707 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: the overall growth, I mean, there's a lot to be 708 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: excited about. Obviously when you look at the young talent 709 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: on the roster and you know the entire league has 710 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: noticed that. Considering some of the awards that are going 711 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: to be decided this week, what was it like for 712 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: you a cover that game? You've covered so many big events, 713 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: so obviously this was just one in a long line 714 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: of of cool moments sports moments. But just from a 715 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: Jets perspective, it's a young team going into historic place 716 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: like Lambeau Field. You got saw his gardener where the 717 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: cheese had After the game, you got Breecee Hall exploding 718 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 1: into the end zone. They see the Jets defense. I 719 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: many a future Hall of Famer like Aaron Rodgers. As 720 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: you took that all in, what we were thinking, you know, 721 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: there's a moment that stays with me that I don't 722 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: know that that we we necessarily captured, and that was 723 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: when the quarterback at the time when it became clear 724 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: that Jets are gonna win the game, put his hands 725 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: on his helmet like in disbelief. And I think part 726 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: of that is Lambeau. Part of that is Aaron Rodgers. 727 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: Part of that is it's the Packers and we came 728 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 1: in here and we beat them. And I think for 729 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: the Jets who are trying to find an identity right 730 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: under solon everything he's trying to instill and build as 731 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: a culture, you know, you looked at it at the 732 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: moment as a foundational win. The question becomes, all right, 733 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: what do you do with prosperity? How well do you 734 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: handle it? No one knew what would happened, of course, 735 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: to the injury to the running back and what happened 736 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: with the quarterback position in and some of the other challenges, 737 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: but there that defense is strong and there are some 738 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 1: real core pieces obviously to build around, and Joe Douglas 739 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 1: brought in those core fiss What are your impressions of 740 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: Robert Sala and the way he connects with his team 741 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,760 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt that when Robert Sala 742 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: walks into a room, right, he's a He's a commanding presence. Physically, 743 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,919 Speaker 1: he's a commanding presence. Verbally, he's a commanding presence. With intensity, 744 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: he's a commanding presence. He's a leader. Now the question 745 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: becomes with an entire staff built around him, all that 746 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: he concentrates and pours himself into on the defensive side 747 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: of the ball, we understand the other side of the 748 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: ball needing to catch up to that. How quickly is 749 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: he able to make that happen? That will ultimately be 750 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: the ballot that's out on Coach Sala? What do you 751 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: think about the Jets here? We're taking the Super Bowl 752 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 1: week Thursday, NFL honors Sauce Garden her up for the 753 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: Defensive Rookie of the Year, Garrett Wilson up for Offensive 754 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, and then potentially you could get 755 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: too Hall of famers in and Joe Clecko who has 756 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: had a thirty year weight and the Rell Reeves could 757 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: be going in first year eligibility. So this is an 758 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: incredible week for the Jets. I mean, in so many ways, 759 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: it just so I'll just let's just pick Sauce for 760 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: a second. I mean, there was a lot of excitement 761 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: about Sauce um obviously given his draft position, given how 762 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 1: beautifully he played in college. But I don't know that 763 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: anybody saw that Sauce would become this good, this fast 764 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 1: and become really the identity of the defense right in 765 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: that position, which is a hard thing to do. If 766 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: you want to talk about the identity of the glory 767 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: days of the Jets defense, you go to Clecko and 768 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 1: you think, wow, after all this weight, what would it 769 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: mean to him? What would it mean to Jets fandom 770 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: to see Colecto get in? And when it comes to Revs, 771 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think there's any doubt. I think 772 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: he's a first ballot Hall of Famer, and I think 773 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: he'll be in Sauce creating his own island right now. 774 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 1: He is no right, no question about it. And and 775 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: the value of that, all that that does to permeate 776 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: the other levels of the defense. When you know you 777 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: have you go back to revis, when you know you 778 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: can shut down the aerial portion of one part of 779 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: the field, All that that allows the coaching staff defensively 780 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: in their game plan to do in terms of play style, aggression, 781 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: all of that which can emanate from having that lockdown 782 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 1: presence on the back end. Special player Robert Sali said 783 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 1: after the season the Jets committed to adding a veteran quarterback. 784 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: As we sit here right now, what do you think 785 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: makes sense for the team as they move ahead. I 786 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: think that's such a good question. Obviously, everybody he has 787 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: seen the hack at higher and wants to interpret that 788 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: to mean that Aaron Rodgers will come over the franchise 789 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: has been down that path with far in the past. 790 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: Obviously that didn't yield the success that the Jets fandom 791 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 1: had hoped. Who knows what will happen with Aaron Rodgers, 792 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: but this much we do know. You can't succeed in 793 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 1: the NFL without that position being right. And when you 794 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: look at it's just a great reminder of how mysterious 795 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,720 Speaker 1: success is in the position when you don't build its Situationally, 796 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 1: brock Purty Mr irrelevant what he did this year again, 797 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: prior to the unfortunate elbow injury and the conference title. 798 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: At some point it was almost like people were waiting 799 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: right for him to turn back into the pumpkin, and 800 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: at some point you have to acknowledge maybe he's just 801 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: a really good player in a great situation. Can the 802 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: Jets find that a good player in a great situation? 803 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: They have the defensive part of that great situation equation. 804 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,959 Speaker 1: It looks like being built, developing, coming into its own. 805 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 1: It's the offensive side. Now do you think some of 806 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: the veteran quarterbacks we'll look at this team and say 807 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 1: this is a very good situation, no question, because of 808 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,919 Speaker 1: that defense. I mean, how many quarterbacks who are later 809 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,240 Speaker 1: in their career want to be able to say, boy, 810 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 1: you know what, I know I'm gonna be good if 811 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: if I can build a leave. I know that the 812 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: defense that's going to create turnovers and get me the ball. 813 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: I know if there's a situation where we've turned it over, 814 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: they can be stout and minimize the damage. That's that 815 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,959 Speaker 1: has great appeal to a quarterback. I think, as much 816 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: appeal as playmakers on the edges and specialists. And you know, 817 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: people have to say, well, Aaron, you know Aaron Rodgers, 818 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: Boy how much he misses Davante? Sure he does, but 819 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,439 Speaker 1: would he miss having a top five D defense? Which 820 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: would he miss more? Something to think about. And then 821 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,839 Speaker 1: Jets and offensive side of the ball. It's not like 822 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,439 Speaker 1: their void of talent. You got Garret Wilson, you got 823 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 1: Breece all we mentioned him before. You have Elijah Vera. 824 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: Tucker is one of the first time most first time 825 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 1: offensive alignment in the National Football League. You have foundational 826 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,280 Speaker 1: pieces there. And listen, you know sometimes when a player 827 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: gets injured, you know, we forget the impact and how 828 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,319 Speaker 1: much it continues through the season. And when Breeze got hurt, 829 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,800 Speaker 1: I mean you you can look, it changed everything about 830 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: how the Jets functioned offensively. And you know, we go 831 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 1: back to that game in Lambeau, which is sort of 832 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: his coming out party, right, I mean, he he played 833 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: so well in that game and to think that he 834 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: couldn't stay healthy then through the balance of the season, 835 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure, pardon me, nobody more disappointed than Hall himself. 836 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: But the the spillover effected that injury can't be overstated 837 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: for the offense in the j As. All right, So 838 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:06,360 Speaker 1: what kind of advice would you give young storytellers out 839 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 1: there as far as they want to get into the 840 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: business and they want to be able to capture the moment, 841 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 1: because you have done that at such a high level. 842 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: Throughout your career and now you're approaching your first Super Bowl. 843 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: So I think it took me a long time to 844 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 1: to come to what I would consider to be in 845 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 1: telling a story. These three qualities that I hope I 846 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: can live up to, but I'm conscious of them, at 847 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 1: least as guiding principles for me, took me too long 848 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 1: to find them. Number one, above all his accuracy. I 849 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: could tell the most moving story about you. But if 850 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: your sister's name is Susan and I got that name wrong, 851 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 1: that's the first thing you're gonna say to me. So accuracy. 852 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: The second thing is empathy to to understand that as 853 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: much as we might hold players and coaches on pedestals, 854 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,720 Speaker 1: that at the end of the day, it's the common 855 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:04,440 Speaker 1: bond have shared humanity that cuts through and makes the 856 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 1: stories resonate with a viewer with a listener. So it's empathy. 857 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: And the third is genuine and earnest curiosity. If I 858 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,759 Speaker 1: am doing an interview with you, You're wonderful at this 859 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: right now. You look at me as I'm answering the question. 860 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:26,280 Speaker 1: Your questions come very naturally. If I have a pad 861 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 1: and you're beginning your answer and I'm more concerned with 862 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 1: knowing what my next question is than your answer to 863 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 1: the question. I've just posed, what does that say to 864 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 1: the subject? So I think those three right, those three 865 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 1: things I think help me. I don't always live up 866 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:50,799 Speaker 1: to them, but I try to listen. Um, what is 867 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,040 Speaker 1: it going to be like for you on Sunday? You've 868 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 1: done so many things the mountain top of professional sports, 869 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 1: but this is your first Super Bowl? It is I mean, 870 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 1: it's a easy to think that we're going to have 871 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 1: the opportunity to do the sidelines of the Super Bowl. 872 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,919 Speaker 1: I mean it's I never would have thought it would 873 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: have been possible, just even a couple of years ago. 874 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 1: I never would have thought it would have been possible. 875 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,320 Speaker 1: And you're right a minute, how blessed am I to 876 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,320 Speaker 1: have been able to do Wimbledon, to be able to 877 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,600 Speaker 1: do the Masters, to be able to do the Rose Bowl, 878 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: to be able to do you know, the semi and 879 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: the title game in college football, uh, to be able 880 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:30,320 Speaker 1: to do playoff games, you know, a four overtime playoff 881 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,279 Speaker 1: game in the NBA as a sideline, I mean, all 882 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: of those things, but at the end of the day, 883 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:42,280 Speaker 1: in America, one event is pinnacle not in sport, in events, 884 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: and it's the super Bowl, and so to be a 885 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 1: part of that, especially on this team, which makes it 886 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: feel special. Greg and Kevin who are incredible stories themselves, 887 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,799 Speaker 1: and and Foster a great fellowship among our crew Eron 888 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 1: who's just terrific and doing it for such a long 889 00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,160 Speaker 1: time at a high level. It's just an amazing, an 890 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,359 Speaker 1: amazing opportunity. Well, you belong on that stage. And let's 891 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: end here. You're talking about empathy. You get empathy for 892 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 1: your brother and Jets fans and also from a storytelling angle, 893 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,839 Speaker 1: do you root for the Jets to turn this around 894 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,719 Speaker 1: because it has been twelve of years since they have 895 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: made the postseason? Because that fan base is very unique 896 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:26,920 Speaker 1: and they're hunger is I think unmatched right now them 897 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 1: wanting that winner again. Listen, fandom aside selfishly. So we're 898 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 1: an FC based but in the new deal, I think 899 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,239 Speaker 1: we'll do more games that have crossover and that have 900 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 1: a f C NFC matchups and perhaps a f C 901 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 1: a f C matchups. The league is better when the 902 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 1: Jets are better. It's the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut market. 903 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:56,320 Speaker 1: It's the most densely populated part in our country a B. 904 00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 1: It's got a colorful history. It will forever have the 905 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,319 Speaker 1: wagging of the number one running off the field, the 906 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 1: mink code of Broadway Joe, you know, just an enduring 907 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 1: icon that helped build the NFL into what it is now. 908 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 1: That's a jet story that helped create the monolith that 909 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,839 Speaker 1: is the shield. A jet story helped do that. So 910 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,240 Speaker 1: when the Jets are good and can tap into that, 911 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:28,440 Speaker 1: that's a tide that lifts all boats, including the dinghy 912 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:33,280 Speaker 1: name Robert Ronaldi back in chres Gilt, New Jersey, coming 913 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 1: full circle, have fun on Sunday. Uh. We're so happy 914 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,560 Speaker 1: for your congratulations on everything you've achieved.
