<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden on Monday night, Yeah, exactly,

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's very sobering and everyone just has Damar Hamlin

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>in their thoughts and prayers today. You know, Um, we've

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>seen a lot of injuries in the game of football

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>over my however many years covering it since I was

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>in college, but I don't recall seeing that. I don't

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>recall seeing someone looked like a normal tackle hit, fall

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to the ground, get up, and then just collapse. And

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>when I saw that, it was like, oh, this is

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>more than a head injury, right, and that initially it

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>was like his head did hit the ground, and I

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>was thinking, Okay, he kind of knocked himself out. Right.

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Then when you see the ambulance rushing onto the field

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>and the way the emergency personnel started running onto the field,

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>you knew it was more than that. Yeah, And I

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>don't recall ever seeing anything like that. And boy, as

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you said, it was very sobering and emotional too, just

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>thinking this is what we do for our business. We

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:34.839
<v Speaker 1>cover this stuff, right, And I immediately thought of you, thinking, well,

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>thank god he's with us tomorrow perspective, because you know,

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>and even I mean, we can go on and on, right,

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>But when they were sitting there going okay, we don't

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>know how long the delay is, I go, there is

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>no way in hell if I'm a player that I'm

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna go back out there and play. How could I

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.519
<v Speaker 1>get fired up to do something after seeing that? And

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, only you just listened to everybody and um,

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Spears and Ryan Clark and Booger you know, and

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 1>it was like, Okay, this is resonating through all these players,

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, I don't know how to go to

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>practice on Wednesday. Man, Yeah, how far? How far do

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.119
<v Speaker 1>you take it? Right? I mean, you know, first of all,

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>this is something that no one's ever seen before. As

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>you talked about, Um, I mean I've I've made that

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>tackle many times. The guy just kind of it seems like,

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you're when you're going lateral, you know,

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't quite have that, you know, a stance to

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>go forward. And the running back just kind of beat

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>him to the punch. That was it. The guy kind

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>of lowered his head. You know, it wasn't as if

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>it was a penalty, but you know, you you he

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>was the more aggressive person on that play, and the

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>guy just kind of looked like he got hit in

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the chin. And dude, I've got hit like that. I

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know how many times. Yeah, I mean an offensive

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>lineman or defensively, they get hit like that every play.

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>So here it is this guy gets up and goes

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>down and then they say, what's the protocol? Hell I

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know who knows who knows what the protocol is.

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>There ain't no handbook for it. It is that isn't

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>So you know, what do you do? Now? We got

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>to sit here and waiting and uh, you got people

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>worried about the fantasy teams. You know, it's crazy about

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>gambling of course, and what their tickets gonna be and

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and all of that, and here it is this guy.

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, the reaction is weird on one hand to

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>where you know, people worried about the selfishness, and then

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the other hand, his his charity rolls up three point

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>seven meal, it's over four now, wow, last time, chuck.

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.279
<v Speaker 1>So you know, you know, you know, human society, man,

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>this is the way it goes, you capitalistic society. You know,

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>some people are gonna be more empathetic, you know, and

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>some are just gonna be still. You know, the bottom

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>lines what matters. And this is what I was thinking

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>about last night. If we were back in the eighties,

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>how would we treat this? How would we treat this?

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, first of all, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>be nearly as empathetic now the way then the way

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 1>we are now, because the world was different nobody cared.

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>It's football, and just the way it is. The union

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't as strong the players. We wasn't making enough money.

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>So the care for those players now is greater back then.

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Who knows what would have happened if someone got hurt

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>like that. Would they be as diligent, you know? Would

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>we be talking about something like this. I don't know

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>if anyone's ever almost died on the field. Well. Chuck Hughes,

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>which was Detroit Lions player in nineteen seventy one. The

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Lions were playing the Chicago Bear at Tiger Stadium in Detroit.

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Late in the fourth quarter. Um Hughes entered the game

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>as an injury replacement, caught a pass from Greg Landry

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.239
<v Speaker 1>for thirty two yards in a first down. Three plays later,

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I got to run through it here, Hughes. Um uh okay.

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:26.919
<v Speaker 1>Three plays later, m Hughes was running back to the

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 1>huddle with a minute left in the game, suddenly dropped

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to the turf, clutching his chest. He suffered a heart

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>attack and died. Oh wow, yeah, and but that was

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a minute left in a game. It was played in

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>October in nineteen seventy one in Detroit. Obviously as you

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>point out. I mean it's the landscape from as far

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>as social media and everything. It's different now than what

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it was then. Um. But and then yeah, it was

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>that they hate gathers is another one basketball? Right, Well,

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.159
<v Speaker 1>you know what it reminded me of. And this was

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>only a couple of years ago with the Dallas Stars

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Rich Peverlely uh collapsed on the bench and they had

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 1>to take him off the bench into the walkway to

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the locker room and perform CPR and I think they

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>did the the shock treatment on them. Um. And I

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>just found out that uh fortunate for him that they

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>had a visiting physician there who was a heart specialist. Wow. Right,

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>just happened to be there with the other physician as

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>a guest, and he was able to, um, you know,

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 1>help out with his expertise. But with this, um, you know,

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>before we knew you know that it was cardiac arrest

0:07:56.080 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and the severity of that, it was like,

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>well what happened? Pre existing condition? See and you think

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>that and I this morning ESPN the Morning Show had

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>a guest cardiologist. They did an interview with the lady

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>from She was a heart specialist from Columbia University, and

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>she was saying that it's a small percentage that between

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 1>heart beats that you get some sort of traumatic hit

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and it causes your heart to stop. So the timing

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.959
<v Speaker 1>had to be just like one in a million. And

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>she's saying, I don't know, but I know this can

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 1>happen from a traumatic injury, So it doesn't it doesn't matter.

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 1>It didn't matter where he got hit, right, It wasn't

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>like he got hit in the heart. It was just

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>a traumatic hit and his head hit. And she said,

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and the key thing from watching from Afar was how

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>fast the emergency personnel got there, because when your heart stops,

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you're not getting oxygen to your brain. That was a

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>big thing with Mike Leach, right, and he suffered his

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 1>heart attack and he was apparently alone, and so they

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't get help to him sight enough. And she said,

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, the longer that lapse, the more after effects

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.080
<v Speaker 1>you will have. You know, you'll start having organ problems

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>or whatever else. And she said that you know, when

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>she saw the I don't know if she said she

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.679
<v Speaker 1>saw it, but you got the emergency vehicle on the

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 1>field and start giving him oxygen right away. That helps

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>minimize the after effect. But she didn't have any knowledge

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>of pregis existing conditions or anything like that, and we

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.719
<v Speaker 1>still haven't heard anything, you know. And then the thing

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:58.320
<v Speaker 1>that I mean, it was just eerie because I mean,

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you knew they couldn't play right. You can't go out

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:05.959
<v Speaker 1>right and play, regardless of what the ramifications and regardless

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>of the team. Yeah, someone was saying and on the

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>way in, well you know if maybe if he wasn't

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 1>a teammate, Well, if you view that, if you sit

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>up there and watch somebody die and then you bring

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>them back, if I if I, if I view that,

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what team them are, right, I ain't

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>playing anymore. I remember just we were playing against the Rams,

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I think in the eighties. We were in hand a

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>hun and uh, like three people in a short succession

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.319
<v Speaker 1>had all of a sudden they blew their knees out,

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Timmy Knewson being one of them. And I remember sitting

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 1>up there like, man, this is getting kind of scary. Yeah,

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>just from knees being blown out right, And I was like,

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>whoa what you know, it was very weird that you

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 1>had like two or three of them in a short

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 1>span in one game. That made me nervous. So you

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>can imagine if I'm sitting up here looking at somebody

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>teammate or not, and they pull out the things and

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and all that you bring them back to life, There's

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>no way. I don't care who teammate or not. I

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>ain't going back. Even if they told you to go

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>back right now, I'm not going back. That's why I

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 1>don't even know why there was a debate like are

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 1>we gonna you know, post it's suspended, postponed, and oh

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you can't play. I'm thinking like who's going to practice

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.440
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday? And how are they going to feel? Around

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>the league, not just those teams. The only way that

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>they could have resumed playing was if they got immediate

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>good news that he's fine. But you know, then you know,

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.959
<v Speaker 1>and there was and even with that, you're right, and

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 1>even with that, it would be tough to heard that

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.959
<v Speaker 1>he's doing great, you know, and you know, And then

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the other part of it was, um, just the pressure

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>on the announcers, yeah, Joe and Troy, and then they

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>go back to the studio. These people are trained to

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>cover football, they're not They're not like news reporters that

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 1>are you know, probably an immune to tragedy because that's

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>what they cover right there. And now you got to

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.719
<v Speaker 1>talk about this, and you know you're gonna get emotional

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>right when Troy said, um, you know, you know how

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>there's just another injury. Guys on the ground. I think

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I was cooking some food. My daughter was coming and

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I was getting in some New Year's Day food. You

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>know how you got to have to all this stuff.

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>So I was doing that and then they said when

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Troy said CPR, yeah, I stopped like what wait a minute? What? Yeah? Yeah,

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.080
<v Speaker 1>he said for several moments and that that like they're like,

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>oh lord, you know that's when I sat down, like,

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 1>oh man, what's going on here? This is this is different? Yeah, yeah,

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.319
<v Speaker 1>you here the word CPR, the letter CPR. That's that

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>is not good. And you know, those guys weren't getting

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 1>any information basically, and you couldn't see because they circled

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the players all the way around. Well, you can't get information.

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>The doctor's not going to give you right right information.

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>At that time, I got work to do, yeah, and

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.440
<v Speaker 1>so that's what that's what I wanted to get into

0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the protocol of something like that. How do you what

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>do you do? I mean what. I can't remember where

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 1>did it come out that the teams are going to

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>warm up for Yeah, and I heard that that whoever

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.680
<v Speaker 1>sent that information was wrong, right, the NFL saying no,

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>we never never said that. But yeah, I know. It's

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>like I can't remember if if they go in for

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 1>five minutes and then they come back out, Well, that

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>was the coaches talking. I believe that was the coaches talking,

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 1>because they made that decision after the coaches came face

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to face with the reflease. That's what. But you knew

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>what's going to come down from New York, right and

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the NFL PA, And then I think both coaches were ye,

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.719
<v Speaker 1>still out their crime. We're not yeah, we can't do this,

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 1>but they but but the the you know, and then

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.320
<v Speaker 1>they act like they gave Joe and Troy a break

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>by going to the studio, but then they're even further

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>removed from it, and what can you say? And may

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 1>keep coming back to him. Yeah, and when you can

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>see the emotion makes sense on Booker's face, right, he

0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 1>was having a hard time, UM, and it's like, gosh,

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>what do you say? And then chef chef, and then

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>they went to the sideline. UM helped me build their silence. Yeah,

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and she was. She was struggling, but you know what,

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 1>she came back towards the end and and just nailed it, right,

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>She got herself composed. Uh. And but again she's not

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 1>used to doing that. She didn't have to do that.

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know how emotional you're gonna be. Right. I

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>remember during the Uvaldi thing and I don't remember what

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>station I was watching, and they threw it to a

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>very young reporter and she broke down crying, right, and

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like, well, it's not fair, she's not she's not conditioned.

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Fought through this. She fought through it, right. Nate just

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 1>brought up Darre Stingley. Yeah, that was crazy, right, And

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 1>so you look at the difference between there's a difference

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 1>right there. These things paralyzed. The game went on. Yeah,

0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the game went on. Yeah it did. The game went on,

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, and so wow, that just lets you know

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 1>how far we've come. So, you know, I remember I

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 1>remember when um so this would have been two thousand

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>and nine, when the when the roof collapsed on the

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 1>practice facility. We were all in there, you know, we

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>escaped and about I don't know, maybe ten minutes later,

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>fifteen at the most. The fan had just taken over

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>as the Cowboys flagship station, and I got a call

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>from one of the guys there I knew, and they said,

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>can you go on the air. And I was like,

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what, You're gonna have to give me some time.

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I said, you don't want me coming on here crying, right,

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and you I mean, you're adrenaline. You need some time

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>with those guys. They didn't have time. They had to

0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 1>react and you know, keep the thing on the air

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 1>for all that time. And I know they went to

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 1>commercial break, but it wasn't They just didn't have anything

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to see here. Let's just look at the NFL itself.

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 1>The NFL is made up and especially the coaches of

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>hardened men. You think about Tom Langer, This man flew

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>in the war. Yeah, people fought in the war. They've

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 1>seen death. You know, I would imagine some of them

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.640
<v Speaker 1>actually saw some action, and they've they've seen people sacrifice.

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>This exactly so when they play football and they try

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to keep saying it's a game compared to war, right,

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 1>That's why we how we become so hardened in the NFL.

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I just gotta keep on moving forwards. Football

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>is football, It's it's a tough man's game. That's the

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 1>that's the foundation of the NFL itself. Men have seen

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things. So when you see someone get

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 1>here in the practice field or the football field, I mean,

0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 1>we used to get somebody get injured. Man, we've moved

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to practice up. No, you wouldn't you just moving out nobody.

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't care how. I can't remember. In

0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>training camp, it's like somebody's laying out in Austin and

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 1>it's like, okay, moving moving up to ten yards and

0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:04.359
<v Speaker 1>let them take care of him back here. Yeah right,

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, so we ain't got time, got time for see.

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's kind of well, that's the basis of the NFL.

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.160
<v Speaker 1>So I'm glad to see that we are not there anymore,

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 1>because like I'm glad I didn't I'm glad they brought

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>up there Stingley because there were moments in the NFL. Well, hey,

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>get him out the field, let's keep on playing. So

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 1>let's just think about deal Stingley and J. Stingley Junior

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 1>at this point what he might be thinking right now,

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't really feel I mean to do

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.639
<v Speaker 1>this now build The last thing I saw was the

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.199
<v Speaker 1>family sent out a statement and I'll go ahead and

0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.679
<v Speaker 1>read it here. It's a little bit long, but on

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.360
<v Speaker 1>behalf of our family want to express our sincere gratitude

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 1>for the love and support shown to Damar during this

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>challenging time. We are deeply moved by the prayers, the

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 1>kind words, and donation from fans around the country. We

0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>also want to acknowledge the dedicated first responders and help

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.080
<v Speaker 1>care professionals the University of Cincinnati Medical Center who have

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 1>provided exceptional care to DeMar. We feel so blessed to

0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 1>be part of the Buffalo Bill's organization and have their support.

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>We also want to thank Coach Taylor and the Bengals

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>for everything they've done. Your generosity and compassion mean the

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>world to us. Please keep DeMar in your prayers. We

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>will release updates as soon as we have them. Imagine

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:31.640
<v Speaker 1>a few of the mothers sitting in the stands. There.

0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:35.480
<v Speaker 1>You go back through his Twitter and this is a

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.679
<v Speaker 1>game from earlier in the season. There's a video of

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 1>him before the game going up to his mom and

0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:44.640
<v Speaker 1>family in the stands, and so I think the family

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:46.199
<v Speaker 1>was able to go to a lot of the game

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that was a home game or not,

0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>but this one, obviously he was on the road, and

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.199
<v Speaker 1>so it was like a he had a hashtag family

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.680
<v Speaker 1>or something, you know, and he was you know, I

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 1>recall too just when he came out of the draft

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty one. Uh, he caught my eye and

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>as much for what kind of high character kid he was, Yeah,

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.919
<v Speaker 1>at the University of Pittsburgh. Yeah, and uh, I mean

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that's what I look for in that big green notebook

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.680
<v Speaker 1>or the high character guys in Tomar Hamlet. As soon

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.640
<v Speaker 1>as I heard it was DeMar Hamlet, I said, Oh,

0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:25.840
<v Speaker 1>he's a good, good guy. Yeah. And then you go

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.880
<v Speaker 1>back through uh, you know, the charity stuff that he's done,

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 1>even going back to his time in college before n

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I L was around. Really in college, he was doing

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that stuff, you know. And uh So anyway, I mean,

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:43.360
<v Speaker 1>obviously he is uh in our thoughts and prayers. Again, overnight,

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the Bills did confirm that it was a cardiac arrest

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that he suffered on the field, and h so just

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.560
<v Speaker 1>praying for for a for a great outcome, Yeah, great

0:19:56.560 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>outcome and full recovery for the bar. Yeah, we finally

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:06.280
<v Speaker 1>got a I it was late on Twitter that Jordan

0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Rooney is a representative from his agency basically sent out

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.000
<v Speaker 1>an update and said his vitals are back to normal.

0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 1>They have put him to sleep to put a breathing

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.399
<v Speaker 1>tube down his throat. They are currently running tests. Will

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 1>provide updates as we have them. So when I saw that,

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 1>it was like, oh, you know, the vitals are good,

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:32.359
<v Speaker 1>but uh yeah, and and basically that that cardiologists pointed

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 1>out that the key thing is just to keep oxygen

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 1>flowing into his body because even though you might be

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 1>breathing on your own, you may not be breathing as

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>well as you need to do any more stress on

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 1>your Yeah. Absolutely, all right, let's take a break and

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:28.600
<v Speaker 1>but I do. I do have it so well. While

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you're finding that, let's go ahead, you know, going back

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to the NFL on Sunday. Okay, what happened was for

0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys was an eagle's loss to the Saints. What

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't come through for the Cowboys on Sunday? Where those

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:53.959
<v Speaker 1>Las Vegas Raiders. They tried. I'm sitting there and the

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.919
<v Speaker 1>game wasn't televised here, and so I saw that it

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:59.879
<v Speaker 1>was gone over time, and so I got on my

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:03.399
<v Speaker 1>NFL app and I'm listening to the game. And it

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 1>was a Dallas kid, Tayshaun Gibson out at a Kimball

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 1>High School in Dallas, who got the pick for the

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 1>forty nine ers and ran it back inside the ten

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:17.640
<v Speaker 1>yard line and they got the field goal to win

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the game. But had the Raiders pulled off that win,

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 1>we'd be sitting here at all. The Cowboys would need

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 1>to not only win the division obviously, would would be

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys winning this week in Washington in Philadelphia losing

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>but getting a not only home field advantage in the playoffs,

0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:41.440
<v Speaker 1>but a first round by in the playoffs. By those

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:45.399
<v Speaker 1>two things happening, Cowboys winning at Washington, Philadelphia losing to

0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.680
<v Speaker 1>the Giants still a long shot on Philadelphia loser the Giants,

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 1>but if the Giants decided to Yeah, And that's the

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:53.399
<v Speaker 1>other thing that went bad for the Cowboys is that

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 1>the Giants clinched the playoffs, so they got nothing to

0:24:56.359 --> 0:25:01.160
<v Speaker 1>play for. So what day Bowls said, we're playing now?

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:04.040
<v Speaker 1>There still is a chance. There still is a chance

0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys could get the first round by if they

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:12.640
<v Speaker 1>win the Eagles lose, and no, there's no chance Arizona.

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:17.479
<v Speaker 1>Arizona would have to beat or tie Sat Francis to

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:20.720
<v Speaker 1>San Francis and San Francis, i'd say, by the way,

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 1>a four and twelve Cardinals team, and there's about their

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 1>fourth corner. By the way, it's David. Do you say

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:34.120
<v Speaker 1>blow or blow? David blow from Carol Carol Free by

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the way. And the only reason I know him because

0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Missouri played him his senior year at Purdue, and I

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 1>was asking Anthony Brown. I said, so you know what

0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Purdue got and he goes, oh, he goes, you know

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:52.400
<v Speaker 1>they're not bad, but they're starting the quarterbacks never started before.

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how good he is. Right well, he

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:59.639
<v Speaker 1>put five hundred yards passing on Missouri. Missouri won the game,

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 1>but the kids through for five hundred yards, so they're

0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>still a shot. I always remembered his name right. As

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 1>a matter of fact, that next week I went up

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.919
<v Speaker 1>to Anthony and I said, uh, you know, you're a

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty good player, but you got no future as a scout.

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 1>He's got laughing because he knew what I meant. But yeah,

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>he's going to start his second game and he's just

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:26.119
<v Speaker 1>been there a couple of weeks that you guys, you

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 1>guys are telling me you're afraid to go down that

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:32.359
<v Speaker 1>that forbidden path, that that Arizona could go there and win. No,

0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean the fact that we go on the road

0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and just kick everybody's ass on the way. No, No,

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I was real. But it's better to have. Of course,

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 1>it's the first round, by yeah, come on, and as

0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Jerry said this morning, you know, you always want to

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:51.199
<v Speaker 1>play at home. As they were giving him the especially

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:53.200
<v Speaker 1>if you own the team they were giving him. Yeah,

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:59.920
<v Speaker 1>they were speaking as a player necessarily, but yeah, you could.

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:03.959
<v Speaker 1>They were giving them the choice on the two propositions.

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Right you you're you're the top wild card team, so

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:09.120
<v Speaker 1>you got to go on the road and play Tom

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Brady or you're the number two seed and you play

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:16.600
<v Speaker 1>at home. But chances are you're probably gonna play Aaron

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers in Green Bay. Which do you want? What do

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you want? Bring it on, Barry, Jerry, bring it on,

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:24.679
<v Speaker 1>play it at home. Bring it on, because if you

0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:26.679
<v Speaker 1>win the first one, you're still at home for the

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:29.720
<v Speaker 1>second game too. Yeah, I want to see something great.

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to see something generational. That's what I want.

0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:34.960
<v Speaker 1>That's what I want to see because this team has

0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 1>been I mean, like like Nate said, you've got the coaching,

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 1>they're asking questions, answering questions, and you just blew a

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.960
<v Speaker 1>team out by three touchdowns, and yeah, you got to

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>sit here at the press conference and answer all these

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 1>questions about what is wrong with your team. I would

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:54.040
<v Speaker 1>love for us to just keep on going with all

0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 1>odds against us. Go to Tampa, go to Green Bay,

0:27:57.320 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't care where it is, and just shut those

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 1>shut that up, right. That to me, that would reverse

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:07.199
<v Speaker 1>all the narrative that the Cowboys are facing. Lad, So

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you want the Cowboys to go the hard way? Go

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to Tampa Bay, beat Tom Brady, Okay, then go to

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia and beat the who might be the MVP. We'll

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:23.280
<v Speaker 1>see Jalen Hurts, and then go to San Francisco and

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:26.920
<v Speaker 1>beat mystery irrelevant. Oh yes, I'd love that. I would

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:30.200
<v Speaker 1>love him. I wish. I wish because sprinkled Green Bay

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:33.359
<v Speaker 1>in there somewhere, play four games I don't care, and

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>then get who in the Super Bowl. Well, we gotta

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:38.440
<v Speaker 1>have Joe, because Joe was the guy that has the

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:48.320
<v Speaker 1>most resiliency. I'm talking. Okay, hey there, So Burrow, Okay,

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's your dream scenario, Cowboys, that's my my

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>uh Manning, Okay, you can we can do it a

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>different way. Let's say the Packers stay hot, Okay, okay,

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and then so Aaron be Brady hurts Rogers. Okay, but

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:19.280
<v Speaker 1>except and Burrow. After watching Green Bay play Minnesota, they've

0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 1>got some sprinkled dust on them, right Because with I

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>wrote this down one thirty two left in the first quarter,

0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the Packers were up fourteen to three with no offensive

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns and fourteen total yards. They returned a kickoff for

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown, in an interception for a touchdown, fourteen total yards.

0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 1>And then Minnesota is trying to kick a field goal

0:29:48.120 --> 0:29:52.800
<v Speaker 1>and their kicker, Joseph who had made thirteen consecutive field goals,

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 1>he misses. And then in the first half, and then

0:29:56.720 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 1>in the first half, Hyson Crosby, who we've seen four

0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:04.960
<v Speaker 1>connect from fifty six yards in a playoff game, he

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>kicks a fifty six yard field goal that doesn't clear

0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the crossbar, it hits, it hits on top of the crossbar.

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:17.479
<v Speaker 1>If it is one centimeter this way, it bounces back

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 1>or towards the field of play. Instead, it just bounced on.

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Where was that game played? Great Green Bay? So you're

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 1>telling me that this man can kick a fifty six

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 1>yard folders over the season, but we can't kick one

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:33.000
<v Speaker 1>when we were there in Green Bay. All the excuses

0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:37.640
<v Speaker 1>about oh, my leg is freezing, come on, foot, my foot,

0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:39.320
<v Speaker 1>putting the foot in front of the fire, and all

0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:42.040
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. But check, come on, don't don't

0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:44.640
<v Speaker 1>have a no wait, come on now, don't ever let

0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that narrative. Don't let the tail wag the doll. Not

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 1>only did the ball hit the crossbar, it bounced so well,

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 1>it bounced into the net. Yeah, into the net, that man,

0:30:56.960 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>it bounced another ten yards. That means we could have

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:01.400
<v Speaker 1>kicked it as well. We had the best kick in

0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the league and we didn't go for it. That's still

0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:08.920
<v Speaker 1>uh chaps my butt, as Stalins would always say. But

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 1>anyway we could have kicked that's Green Bay. And and

0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and again. And this is what I wrote about yesterday,

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the improbability of the NFL this season. Who thought the

0:31:20.880 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Packers at four and eight would be sitting there at

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:25.840
<v Speaker 1>eight and eight and need one win to get in

0:31:25.880 --> 0:31:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, or Detroit four and seven needing one win

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 1>in a Seattle loss to get in the playoffs. I mean,

0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:37.000
<v Speaker 1>all this weird. You know. We sat there and go, well,

0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:40.680
<v Speaker 1>what's the chances after they lost to the Jaguars that

0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys win three straight and the Eagles lose street straight. Well,

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>we are here, we are, and they're not sure Jalen

0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Hurt's gonna play on. I thought they were pretty positive. No, well,

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 1>perhaps factoring into that they want to see who the

0:31:57.120 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Giants are playing well, because since the Giants don't have

0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 1>to win this game, right that factor. Let's remember the

0:32:05.520 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Giants history in two thousand and seven when they played

0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the meaninglest game because they were the wild card team

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:15.960
<v Speaker 1>in New England and nearly beat the Patriots and got

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>all this confidence and they went in and won the

0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 1>first round. And what happened. They came here and beat

0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys I think, I think, and went on to

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 1>win the Super Bowl. Rights they decided they decided they

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:31.240
<v Speaker 1>were going to play that last game of the year

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:34.320
<v Speaker 1>because they wanted momentum. And they lost the game, but

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:37.600
<v Speaker 1>they gained some confidence and they wound up winning the

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. So all right, here's an update from the

0:32:40.360 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 1>NFL on the Bills Bengals game. NFL continues to be

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:46.360
<v Speaker 1>in a regular contact with the medical team caring for

0:32:46.440 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Damar Hamlin, and also the Bills and Bengals organizations in

0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Players Association. After speaking with both teams and

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>NFLPA leadership, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and formed the clubs

0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 1>today that the Bills Bengals game will not be resumed

0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:05.640
<v Speaker 1>this week. The NFL has made no decision regarding the

0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:08.680
<v Speaker 1>possible resumption of the game at a later date. The

0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 1>league has not made any changes to the Week eighteen

0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 1>regular season schedule. We will continue to provide additional information

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:19.480
<v Speaker 1>as it becomes available. So still next we maybe play

0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Monday night. They're playing on Sunday. Yeah, they're not changing

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 1>your one game the Week eight team. I was thinking

0:33:29.160 --> 0:33:31.640
<v Speaker 1>this was the last Yeah, that's where is that game?

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 1>It was in Cincinnati? Wellinati, I have to look up

0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:39.560
<v Speaker 1>where they're playing. You know, tell you just cancel the

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:43.320
<v Speaker 1>game and just go by winning percentage. That's yes, that's

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 1>what you do, right. I don't understand why we're you

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>can't put in. I mean, because you don't are you

0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:52.600
<v Speaker 1>going to resume the game seven three at baseball? And

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:54.640
<v Speaker 1>that's the only thing they can compare it to, right,

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 1>that's it. That's all they compared it to. This is baseball.

0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, And if you're if you're going to resume

0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it next week, the earliest you could do that would

0:34:03.080 --> 0:34:07.280
<v Speaker 1>be like Thursday, and then you push back the next

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:13.240
<v Speaker 1>playoff game Monday or but then you're playing. But then whoever, whoever,

0:34:13.320 --> 0:34:15.360
<v Speaker 1>one of those teams is playing in the playoffs, and

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:17.360
<v Speaker 1>one of them may get the first round by and

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:19.759
<v Speaker 1>not have a game. The other one they'd be on

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:22.279
<v Speaker 1>a short week playing their playoff get their wild card game.

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.439
<v Speaker 1>I can't do that. Yeah, I think you just yeah,

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you just don't worry about it. Just it's a it's

0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a non game, Okay. They play a sixteen game schedule.

0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else plays seventeen. That's fine. We can handle this,

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and I and I dare anyone to complain that's not fair, right,

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:43.680
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and try that. Uh huh. Yeah, So, I

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:50.040
<v Speaker 1>mean Bengals host the Ravens on Sunday, and the Bills

0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:55.319
<v Speaker 1>host the Patriots on Sunday, m and the and the

0:34:55.360 --> 0:35:00.919
<v Speaker 1>Bills have not clinched the first the number one seed,

0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:03.040
<v Speaker 1>right right, that's why that's what it's at stake here

0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City. Kansas City is thirteen and three, the Bills

0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 1>are twelve and three, and the Bengals are eleven and four,

0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:15.879
<v Speaker 1>So it's seating. It's it's not only first round by

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:17.960
<v Speaker 1>but if the Bengals were to beat the Bills, they

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 1>could overtake them for the two seed rather than the

0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:24.839
<v Speaker 1>three seed. So anyway, yeah, forget it, don't worry about it.

0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:30.880
<v Speaker 1>It's like just yeah, just okay, we'll continue. We've we've

0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 1>come to yeah, we've we've reached that decision. So all right,

0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:36.800
<v Speaker 1>here we go in more bike shots and just a ballmit?

0:35:38.960 --> 0:35:42.360
<v Speaker 1>We paid how much for those lessons? She's doing great?

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me a pepsi zero sugar?

0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Great job, honey, Oh oh look at that. That's not

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the end, no way. Now it's time for the encore.

0:35:56.960 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 1>You know what, You're right? Five times not enough times

0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 1>for everyone who traded in rock concerts for their kids recitals.

0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:06.840
<v Speaker 1>You've compromised enough Pepsi zero sugar, that's what I like.

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Nobody protects you from Mayhem like all State. You hear

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 1>that I'm a torrential downpour. Torrential, what does that even mean?

0:36:16.880 --> 0:36:20.759

0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to make it rain to fix your bumper. So switch

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to all State, save money and be better protected from

<v Speaker 1>What games those were? And boy did we slam that right?

0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:49.600
<v Speaker 1>What did we win? Each by one point? Yeah? Really

0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:53.799
<v Speaker 1>it was totally Actually TCU one by six. Sorry, might

0:38:53.840 --> 0:38:55.719
<v Speaker 1>as well have been one, they said, the first time

0:38:55.800 --> 0:39:00.120
<v Speaker 1>they've been decided by one score the two semifinal games. Yeah, though,

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe that. Yeah, excitements. And then yesterday at the

0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:11.680
<v Speaker 1>stadium Tulane usc about what a game that was. Tulane

0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:14.719
<v Speaker 1>comes from fifteen points down in the final minutes of

0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the game to win forty six forty five. I didn't

0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:18.840
<v Speaker 1>know we talked about this, but to me, the dumbest

0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:20.960
<v Speaker 1>play of the game, I'll tell you exactly what it was.

0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Would you tell me right on the goal line? Thank you?

0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Any end zone? Yes? How? Why would you hand off

0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:28.719
<v Speaker 1>four yards deep in the end twice? Twice? You did

0:39:28.719 --> 0:39:31.319
<v Speaker 1>it twice and you have a Heisman Trophy winner right

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:34.880
<v Speaker 1>back here. This is my moment. Yeah, and the only okay,

0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:39.200
<v Speaker 1>it's an okay. Tulane was trailing by eight points at

0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 1>that point in the game. That was with three twenty

0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:45.359
<v Speaker 1>left of the game. The only way Tulane can win

0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:48.279
<v Speaker 1>that football game is if they get a safety there

0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:52.520
<v Speaker 1>cuts the lead to six and then seven and then

0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:56.239
<v Speaker 1>they score touchdown seven points because there's no way to

0:39:56.520 --> 0:40:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Lane's offense even against that bad deep They didn't have

0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:05.000
<v Speaker 1>not enough time they made. Jerry Rice's son got off

0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:07.200
<v Speaker 1>in the gap, but they had another guy over there

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:10.720
<v Speaker 1>in that green looked like Mississippi Valley colors. That kid

0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:13.600
<v Speaker 1>looked like Jerry Rice's son number two. Yeah, he looked

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:16.080
<v Speaker 1>like Jerry. But there's no way Toulane was going to

0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 1>be able. Even if if sc punchs out of their

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:21.640
<v Speaker 1>own end zone, they cannot go down there. They can

0:40:21.640 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 1>score touchdown, but then they'd have to get a two

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:26.520
<v Speaker 1>point conversion and that just gets you to overtime. They'd

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:29.200
<v Speaker 1>have to win it an overtime. As it was, you

0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:36.160
<v Speaker 1>give them a safety first kick the kickoff? Is that right, right?

0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Favorite coach with a play call and see, this guy's

0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 1>a genius. How do you not make Why would you

0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what you know you brought the ball to

0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:50.720
<v Speaker 1>you know he brought the ball too. Here's what happening

0:40:50.880 --> 0:40:54.759
<v Speaker 1>these days. Is there. They don't practice the quarterback under

0:40:54.800 --> 0:41:01.440
<v Speaker 1>center enough. And that was a I'm saying because he

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean what happened in the thank you? He is

0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:10.560
<v Speaker 1>a Heisman troph They haven't stopped him all game long,

0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and yet I mean he was on the ball. They

0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:16.000
<v Speaker 1>were just singing his praises, this guy five o'clock in

0:41:16.040 --> 0:41:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the morning when he was eleven years old, even a

0:41:18.960 --> 0:41:21.279
<v Speaker 1>personal trainer. All this going on, and now you got

0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:23.239
<v Speaker 1>the Heisman. He's about to win this game. No he's not.

0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean it looked like a zone read or an

0:41:25.760 --> 0:41:30.520
<v Speaker 1>RPO and he was reading the defensive end and I

0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:33.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know to complicated. If he would have taken himself,

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 1>it still would not have worked. They were gonna he

0:41:35.600 --> 0:41:38.879
<v Speaker 1>needed to take it, roll out and throw it down

0:41:38.960 --> 0:41:42.920
<v Speaker 1>field again. Heisman Trophy winner, right, not as a runner,

0:41:43.000 --> 0:41:46.319
<v Speaker 1>not tebowed Heisman Trophy winner. I mean, this guy's prolific

0:41:46.840 --> 0:41:48.399
<v Speaker 1>and you can sit up there and hand the ball

0:41:48.440 --> 0:41:51.399
<v Speaker 1>off to him to the running back. I just that

0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:53.600
<v Speaker 1>was bad that the coach lost that game. I was

0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:56.359
<v Speaker 1>watching with my son. The coach lost that game. I

0:41:56.400 --> 0:42:01.040
<v Speaker 1>am just so glad that it qualified. Is my opinion

0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:04.480
<v Speaker 1>that they should have had a twelve sixteen team playoff

0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:08.480
<v Speaker 1>long years years ago because you never know when and

0:42:08.520 --> 0:42:10.640
<v Speaker 1>it should be the game, what's gonna happen? And by

0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the way, it should be a sixteen team play why not? Yeah,

0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:16.240
<v Speaker 1>when that coming again in two years, it's a twelve

0:42:16.280 --> 0:42:19.520
<v Speaker 1>team playoff. So so four teams get a first round

0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:23.000
<v Speaker 1>by well, there's if you you watch enough of these

0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Bowl games, everybody's got players. There are players all over

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the lot, you know, and so it's not like it

0:42:29.719 --> 0:42:35.239
<v Speaker 1>was twenty years ago and they you got Cinderella's I mean,

0:42:35.360 --> 0:42:37.960
<v Speaker 1>who expected TCU to make it all the way? But

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you go look at right at the beginning, right, But

0:42:40.760 --> 0:42:43.480
<v Speaker 1>if and I've now been studying TCU's roster, you look

0:42:43.520 --> 0:42:47.120
<v Speaker 1>at their roster, and I understand why they're in the

0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:51.520
<v Speaker 1>National Championship game. That quarterback was he was recruited by

0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:54.839
<v Speaker 1>It came down to TCU in Georgia, you know. And

0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you you mentioned four teams get a bye, right, Two

0:42:58.520 --> 0:43:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Lane's not going to get a bye, right, so the

0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:05.440
<v Speaker 1>big schools are gonna get the buy Well, USC, if

0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:08.839
<v Speaker 1>they beat Utah, they're in the playoffs, and they just

0:43:08.880 --> 0:43:13.480
<v Speaker 1>lost to two lane, right, Okay, So there is enough.

0:43:14.200 --> 0:43:18.520
<v Speaker 1>There's enough evidence right there to tell you that there

0:43:18.520 --> 0:43:21.719
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be any first round buys in this twelve team player.

0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:23.920
<v Speaker 1>It needs to be a sixteen team playoff. Plus then

0:43:24.280 --> 0:43:28.799
<v Speaker 1>all those group of five leagues, okay, the champion of

0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:32.160
<v Speaker 1>those leagues, and it's only there's only ten conferences all told.

0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:37.319
<v Speaker 1>There's five group of five leagues, and then there's five others. Okay,

0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the champion goes. And so when when any Division one

0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:45.920
<v Speaker 1>college football player starts practice in August, they know we

0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:48.880
<v Speaker 1>have a chance to play for the national championship because

0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:52.839
<v Speaker 1>if we win our conference, then we're in the tournament. See.

0:43:52.840 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think those those those schools they're they were

0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:59.879
<v Speaker 1>worried that if it's sixteen teams, then people will trans

0:44:00.080 --> 0:44:02.359
<v Speaker 1>for and go to these smaller schools and make them

0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:07.120
<v Speaker 1>smaller schools better because nobody's gonna sit and wait to play.

0:44:07.360 --> 0:44:10.400
<v Speaker 1>They want to play right now. Yeah. The other thing

0:44:10.440 --> 0:44:13.239
<v Speaker 1>with the sixteen team is you've got you'd have ten

0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:17.000
<v Speaker 1>league champions that qualify and six at large. So everybody's

0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:19.880
<v Speaker 1>staying they won't have to wait so long to play

0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:23.239
<v Speaker 1>the national championship, right, you know, they won't sitting out

0:44:23.239 --> 0:44:26.560
<v Speaker 1>a month or whatever. They just he just started right

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.800
<v Speaker 1>when the regular season and then take a little break

0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:32.279
<v Speaker 1>for the holidays, and then you pick it up again

0:44:32.320 --> 0:44:35.719
<v Speaker 1>with January first and the championship game a week later. Hey,

0:44:35.800 --> 0:44:40.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of Cowboy notes before we'd leave. Just Johnny Pollard

0:44:41.080 --> 0:44:46.360
<v Speaker 1>is scheduled to practice on Wednesday. The Cowboys are going

0:44:46.440 --> 0:44:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to start Matt Forny acts twenty one day ramp up

0:44:49.440 --> 0:44:53.520
<v Speaker 1>off injured reserve on Wednesday, so they expect him to

0:44:55.360 --> 0:44:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that at center. Yeah, that depth at center might might

0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:03.920
<v Speaker 1>take on Tyler biadish as probably you know we mentioned

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:06.239
<v Speaker 1>it's a high ankle sprain. I said it wasn't as

0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:11.759
<v Speaker 1>severe as normal. Probably not until the playoffs if he

0:45:11.800 --> 0:45:15.440
<v Speaker 1>gets back in time for that. Layton Vanderess said he's

0:45:15.480 --> 0:45:21.879
<v Speaker 1>he feels really well now, much better and probably the playoffs. Yeah,

0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say he's not playing now, he's not playing,

0:45:25.160 --> 0:45:31.399
<v Speaker 1>um and anything, Hankins. I don't think anybody asked about him,

0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:35.600
<v Speaker 1>but that was an original since they put him on IR.

0:45:35.760 --> 0:45:38.359
<v Speaker 1>That would be the playoffs. Yeah, that's right. This would

0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:46.120
<v Speaker 1>try the fourth game and I had one more um,

0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:54.279
<v Speaker 1>oh it was the Eagles suffered a serious injury, right, Yes,

0:45:54.800 --> 0:45:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and it sounds like it's an abductor injury. So they

0:46:00.120 --> 0:46:02.520
<v Speaker 1>they paid the price for their backup in there, so

0:46:02.600 --> 0:46:06.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll see uh this. I mean, it could be season

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:10.680
<v Speaker 1>ending or he's gonna have to play through something that's

0:46:10.680 --> 0:46:13.479
<v Speaker 1>pretty painful. And this is the first time all year

0:46:13.560 --> 0:46:16.440
<v Speaker 1>they've had to deal with an injury on their offensive line.

0:46:16.320 --> 0:46:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, yeah, even the score. Welcome to the club.

0:46:19.800 --> 0:46:24.919
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's right. Oh, what last one? Charles Haley,

0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:32.600
<v Speaker 1>he he gave Tyler Smith a autographed ninety four jersey

0:46:32.640 --> 0:46:36.040
<v Speaker 1>framed for Christmas. It was, that's what he gave. He

0:46:36.080 --> 0:46:38.719
<v Speaker 1>was sitting in the locker, and one to Jason Peters too,

0:46:38.800 --> 0:46:41.480
<v Speaker 1>by the way, why because I don't know. He was

0:46:41.520 --> 0:46:44.520
<v Speaker 1>congratulating him on the season. He wrote on the ninety

0:46:44.520 --> 0:46:48.040
<v Speaker 1>four little message to each one of us, and that's

0:46:48.080 --> 0:46:49.879
<v Speaker 1>got to have some value. I mean it was it's

0:46:49.920 --> 0:46:53.880
<v Speaker 1>as big as that stars beautiful behind us. Yeah. So anyways,

0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Charles Haley, that's cool. He's getting solved. Never did that

0:46:57.440 --> 0:47:04.680
<v Speaker 1>for me. He is getting soft, I'll tell you all right.

0:47:04.760 --> 0:47:08.399
<v Speaker 1>So that does it for a Tuesday edition of Mix

0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:11.640
