10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: good to see you as well. We survived Florida. We

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: were both there. We were parts. Weather cooperated almost entirely

12
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: for me, a little bit less for you, but still decent.

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: It was fine. We you know, we got h It

14
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: was one of those that I knew the back end.

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: It was gonna be great for golf, not so great

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: for the pool. So it was changing up a few things,

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: balancing the time. Like Saturday, my father in laws like,

18
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: why are you not golfing? It's like eighty three and sunny.

19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's a pool day because I'm not sure

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: the pool is going to be in effect. For the

21
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: rest of the time we're here. Yeah. Yeah, it did

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: get brisk. It got a little brisk, highs in the

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: mid upper sixties by the time we left on Sunday.

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: Did you have that? I did, Um, it rebounded Monday.

25
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: It was about seventy five. Okay, So I got a

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: couple of hours at the pool. But like you got

27
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: in the pool, but then you had to get out

28
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: of the pool, and the wind's going at about forty

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: miles an hour. Uh, little Chilia, you know. I was

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: in the pool um much like today, by the way, blustery,

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: correct little ball out there. Yeah. But I woke up

32
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning and it was forty eight degrees And people

33
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: don't understand, like people cold. They scoff and say, forty

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: eight that's nothing with the amount of humidity down there.

35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: That and I my dad could vouch for this. The

36
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: coldest that he's ever been was at a high school

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: that him my mom, we're visiting me down there. I

38
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: went to high school football. It was a playoff game

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: in November or late late November, early December, and it

40
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 1: was like in the mid to high thirties. But with

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: that humidity, it's so heavy you can't get warm, just

42
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: wet and cold, and you can't get out of it. Yep,

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: it's brutal. Yeah, it was not. It was not great. Now,

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: I know by the end of the day and they're

45
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: back into the mid eighties and everything's great. But you know,

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: we had a couple of days. But at least it

47
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: didn't it never really rained. It was supposed to rain

48
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: a couple of the nights and we got lucky. I

49
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: know you got soaked one nne but it was it

50
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: was north of us. So uh. And again I'm in shorts,

51
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: like I really degrees, I'm still wearing shorts, you know,

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: the crazy thing. Like I just want to I'm gonna

53
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: go on record now we complain about the weather here

54
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: a lot. This has been, aside from a war day

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: stretch around Christmas, the easiest winter we've ever had. Now

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: I understand, I understand. It's approaching seventy today outside. Now,

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: I know it's blustery, but it's approaching seventy. Yesterday afternoon

58
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: was spectacular. Um, I know it's gonna cool down, but

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: we don't get seventy in February. That's not in the

60
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: brochure at all. Um. And I'm sure March will be tough,

61
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: and I will I'm gonna reserve my ability to complain

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: about the rain like that. I still want to be

63
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: able to complain about But whatever comes in March from

64
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: a cold weather standpoint, no beef with me, because we

65
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: have January was really nice and pleasant, not brutal, and

66
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: February has been a cakewalk. And really, come March, even

67
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: if you get a little snap, if you get a

68
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: little string, it's forty hours, it's seventy two hours, and

69
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: then it could be right back up into the fifties.

70
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: March is my worst month because it is the it's

71
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: my birthday month, the spring break, all of that, but

72
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: the it is a constant tease because you see March

73
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: and you think, well, we should be in spring, but

74
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: you're not. You're not, You're not here not for a while.

75
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: It's really you don't get consistent good honestly, and probably

76
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: till the back end of April is before you get

77
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: consistent pretty good. Um, but March you could have just

78
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: spent some I've had some quality St. Patty's days. Sometimes

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: you got an eighty degree Patty's for sure, but you're

80
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: also going to get a dump of snow. Do one

81
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: more big getting buried by the snow. Normally, February is

82
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: the problem for me because the sun doesn't come out

83
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: for twenty eight days. However, the sun has been out

84
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: quite nicely. A matter of fact, I got home last

85
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: night and you know, my buddy, one of my friends

86
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: who's in the weather business, was like, a little severe

87
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: weather action coming your way on Thursday. And I'm like what.

88
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: He's like, Yeah, it could be posting a tornado watch

89
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: er two for and I'm like, what, Oh, no, is

90
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: that real? I go, is it really supposed to storm?

91
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: And he's like, definitely, possibility for severe weather for you

92
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: all tomorrow. He goes, I don't know about that whole

93
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: he was busting my chops on the whole twister thing,

94
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: but he's like, definitely a good chance that we're gonna

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: have some severe weather. Wow, this is pretty crazy. So

96
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: we're seventy today, fifty two and rain basically all day

97
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: to you know, tomorrow, and then thirty one for the

98
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: high Friday, and then it goes right back up, and

99
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: then you're in the thirties for a decent halls and

100
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's the last full week

101
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: of February next week, you've made it to the end,

102
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: basically done it. Yeah. One of the things that I

103
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: would say, UM, one quick beef and I had his

104
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: flawless airport experience on the way back at home thirty

105
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: minutes early, like pretty amazing. So we always go out

106
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: west for spring break, and the Great Rock all luminaries

107
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: that we're approaching the combine, it's they've all been here

108
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: since last week. Yeah, they're they're dialed in. UM. So

109
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: we always go out west for spring break. And right now,

110
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: the airlines are lawless in terms of what they're charging

111
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: to fly. It's the most absurd. It's doesn't even make

112
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: sense what they're doing. But we're doing it. And I

113
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: acknowledge the the first world problems. UM, I would love

114
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: a situation where the state of Ohio, or maybe just

115
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: my individual school district made spring break like I don't know,

116
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: A I saw you tweet about this, get it out there,

117
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: put it somewhere else, Give me a second week of February.

118
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: Then I don't care. And some of people come to me, Oh,

119
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: it's gotta at least be March twenty. Look, I don't

120
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: why do you ever are you ever on December five,

121
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: going well, Falls great still, even though December doesn't official

122
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: isn't Even though Winner doesn't officially start until December, December

123
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: five is winner, man. So I don't care when it is.

124
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter when it is. But we gotta get

125
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: out of these There's that three week stretch in March

126
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: where you just get bombed from the airlines. They just

127
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: gouge you to death and there's no stopping them. That

128
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: that that what I booked last night to go out

129
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: west defies all magic or good reason. It's nuts what

130
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: it is. Um, So let's get it sorted out. Give

131
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: me another week. So you don't have spring break at Easter, No,

132
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: I have it last week of March. Interesting Falls. It's

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: always around Easter. It's always. It's actually, well, that's a win.

134
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: It's usually the week like Easter starts spring break week. Okay,

135
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: So this the Monday coming out of Easter dinghis day.

136
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: You're living your best your your best life somewhere you're

137
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: on vacation. Okay, So that's the That would be a win.

138
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: Then for the folks at Homestead Falls, because they are

139
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: they are going to get a much more reasonable rate

140
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: than what you're going to get in March. The third week,

141
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: second week of March to the end of March is

142
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: just gouge city. This is this is where things need

143
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: to change, because in March, no matter what, it's spring

144
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: break for every college in America. Absolutely, So that's the

145
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: first problem. You've got Just move everything to April for

146
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: for high schools and elementary elementary K through twelve, put

147
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: it in April. These kids, my kids are not I

148
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,680

149
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: school one week in February. They have a four day weekend.

150
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: This weekend, No, it's President's Day. I think Monday, isn't it. Yeah,

00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: they get Friday, Friday. Who knows we're off on Monday.

195
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: that's coming up in a couple of weeks. We did

196
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,720

00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon and pets And spent time together in Minnesota

200
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: from fourteen to seventeen. Did you see the Albert Breer

201
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: tweet on the five Northeast Ohio dudes who are head

202
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL. Yeah, it's not five of them,

203
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: five out of the thirty two. That's crazy, man. Good

204
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: high school coaching starting the best of it, We really do.

205
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this part of the country has the best

206
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: high school coaching. It's and it's it's it's not just

207
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: and Chuck's as good as it gets. But it's not

208
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: just the Chuck Kyles. There's there's a dozen of them.

209
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: And you did the show on Saturdays all these years

210
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: on on a fifty and you talked to him on

211
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: those Saturday mornings. But the level of coaching that that

212
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: kids get up here in high school football is unbelievable

213
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: and it pays forward. Yeah, and not only that, but

214
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: then a lot of them go to college programs where

215
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: the coaches, you know, Mountain Union and the program that

216
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: they've run, John Carroll and the program that they run,

217
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: like you know, guys are guys are in grain there.

218
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: You become part of the system and they become they've

219
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: they have become farm systems essentially from the National Football League. Yeah, yeah,

220
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's amazing the amount of John Carroll

221
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: Mountain Union connections that are all over the NFL right now,

222
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: and they take care of each other. It's I said

223
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: that to the Boys. I said, gosh, you guys want

224
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: to work in the league, man, go play football at

225
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: one of those two if you can mind your p's

226
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: and cues like going. I saw a picture of the

227
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: Union staff that the Eagles coach was Sirianni was on

228
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: like Matt Campbell was on that stuff. Yeah, so who's

229
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: who you're going through? You're like, oh, he's a position coach,

230
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: he's a defensive coordinator to Ledo. Now he's this, he's

231
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: a head coach in the NFL. Yeah, you wonder why

232
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: they compete for championships every year. No, it's it's it's

233
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: a it's an absolute no brainer. Um that that it happens. Um.

234
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: In terms of Drew, Drew has been in with us

235
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: a couple of times. Um, great dude, tight ends now quarterbacks. Um,

236
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: if it happens, it's good for I mean, what an

237
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to be an offensive coordinator. That's a big job.

238
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: If he was, if he's able to go go get

239
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: that job. The question would be, what's a replacement. I

240
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: know that there's a guy who worked with Sean a

241
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: couple of years ago in Houston, who is who would

242
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: be available to come in. I would think anything that

243
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: there's familiarity that would be a win. But but who knows.

244
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: We're we're ways out on that. But I would love

245
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: to see Drew get that job as much we'd like

246
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: hate to lose him. I mean, offensive coordinator in the

247
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: NFL's that's that's an awesome thing, the offensive coordinator. But

248
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna have your hands full. It is it's I

249
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: mean job, I mean, can your job is to get

250
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray right, ye? And I feel like that's been maybe,

251
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: uh maybe a stumbling block for them getting their next

252
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: head coach. Very I think very likely was is that

253
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: it's the tough and I think their cap is tough.

254
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: No no, J J. Watt sounds like DeAndre Hopkins is

255
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna be there. Their roster is not great and all

256
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden in a hurry. So yeah, it's a

257
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: it's a tough, tough job. But I think when you

258
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: get the opportunity to go from you know two years ago,

259
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: he's a tight ends coach to now being an offensive

260
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: coordinator in the league, and I think in sixteen he

261
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: was was I think I believe he was our intern

262
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: off some quality control or yeah, I think like an

263
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: intern with with us under Patton. Yeah, yeah, life comes

264
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: to really does should we call out Zigura right now?

265
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: Where do you want to wait? I'm fine? Yeah. So

266
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: Gibby and I get a text yesterday that, uh, you know,

267
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: i'd like the day off because it's my anniversary. Do

268
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: you guys have a problem with that? No? Fine, whatever,

269
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: I landed. I saw the text, I was like, interesting, Yeah,

270
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: because because ms Kay's got a new job. But yes,

271
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: maybe she already put maybe maybe that was something in

272
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: the bride you would have thought like I've I've already

273
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: got some plans, like when you get a new job,

274
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: you've given a few dates that you already have mapped out. Yep, souh.

275
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: As soon as as soon as I came in today,

276
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: Gibby goes he's playing golf, isn't he? And I said, yeah,

277
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: he is. So I caught him red handed yesterday he

278
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: was texting with the kid setting up his his little

279
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: golf for today. So when I saw the wind blowing

280
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: like this, good great. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm in the

281
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: Gibby's fight store today on this one. I hope there

282
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: will be championship conditions. Everything's a stigger, yep. I hope

283
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: that you're duffing things. I hope balls are getting lost

284
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: in the mud in the middle of a fairway. I

285
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: hope that it is a frustrating day for you, young man.

286
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: That's that's. I knew it last night after I sent

287
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: the text and he sent some little gift of like

288
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: some guy golf with a golf club. I was like,

289
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: he's not celebrating now. We made tonight and the President's

290
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: Day the weekend, which would probably be the better chance

291
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: for that to happen. But why do you lie to

292
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: your friends? I mean, I thought we were friends. I

293
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: caught him red handed. So enjoy your day out there, buddy. Yeah,

294
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: I hope it sucks. We will. We will lie into

295
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: your friends. Sad, but it really is said. I hate

00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: it out of the park, sadly with the hiring of

302
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Ted Todd Munkin. We will get into that. You have

303
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: that to look forward to, which is very very nice.

304
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: We've got the Joe Thomas press or to look forward to.

305
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: He had a nice with with Dan Patrick. He did.

306
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: He spent about twenty minutes with our media today, their

307
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: first and there was some stuff that you have not

308
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: heard before that there's some fun little things. He talks

309
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: about the whole you know, the jacket fitting, the ring fitting,

310
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: and you know, getting the measurements for the bust. So look,

311
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: I wonder if so do they go like current Joe

312
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: or do they I wonder if he does he have

313
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: a choice to go current Joe or player Joe. I

314
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: believe it's current Joe, So based on what he was

315
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: talking about in this pressor, I wonder if you have

316
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: a choice, because some of the guys that are in

317
00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: there are very clearly player faces versus the longer Kevin

318
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: was like that, you know, I think like Randy had

319
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: the Dreads or the corn Rows. So I think there's

320
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be interested to see, like I'm interested

321
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: to hear what he has to say about all of that.

322

337
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler released a statement yesterday

338
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: in response to Derek Carr's released saying we have a

339
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: lot of respect for Derek Carr and what he has

340
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: meant to the Regulars organization over the last nine years.

341
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: Derek has done great things in this league, and we're

342
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: thankful to have been able to work with him this

343
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: past year. He's a true professional. We appreciate his hard

344
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: work and striving to produce results. Blah blah blah blah blah.

345
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: We wish him the best. No you don't, he said, thanks,

346
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: but no thanks. I'll take my forty million and I'll

347
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: go whoever I want to and they won't have to

348
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: get anything. I would I would assume that he's fast

349
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: tracked for one of the NFC South teams, whether it's Carolina,

350
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: New Orleans or Tampa Bay. I would think so, but

351
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think there And I was talking

352
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: to Connor about this, because you know, Aaron Rodgers is

353
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: starting his I think he's about or is he about

354
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: out of it? I read way too much about that.

355
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: So it's the place is apparently in Oregon, Okay. There

356
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: are people who are trained who they claim on the

357
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: website from birth, we were taken from birth until for

358
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: the first nine years of their life in darkness to

359
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: train for this. I'm thinking that seems like not great

360
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: for anybody. Um, it's the you you kind of go into.

361
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: There's pictures of like what it looks like in there.

362
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: They've got like a bed there. It's not like solitary.

363
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: You're not Andy Dufrayne. Like there's a bed and a

364
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 1: pillow and there's a carpet and there's all these things

365
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: that you can kind of cruise on. Um. But allegedly

366
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: he went in the day after the Super Bowl. So

367
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: if he did four days, he had to be about done. Yeah.

368
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: Um crazy, So you're saying weight on him. I'm wondering,

369
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: and I'm interested to see what happens in Miami. I

370
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: really think the dominoes could start in fall with the

371
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: Dolphins and and that's in two weeks we'll be at

372
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: the NFL Combine. We'll have probably a little bit better idea.

373
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: But I know Toa is cleared from his concussion, his

374
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: latest one. But what is the future of Tuah And

375
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: if you have the opportunity while the windows open, to

376
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: go get it, because I think Aaron Rodgers in the

377
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: coach in Miami might hit it off. All right, Yeah,

378
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: it feels like they would. I I mean, that's the

379
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: best probably football position for him. Them are the Jets

380
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: in terms of the roster, but he's in the snake

381
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: pit of the a f C. I mean, I don't

382
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: know where you how you felt watching the Super Bowl,

383
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: but the feeling I got coming out of it was

384
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: viewing it through our eyes, was I don't even care

385
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: who's playing defensive tackle. I need a thousand weapons. Yeah,

386
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: like get me, give me too great receipt, Like to

387
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: me if you don't, if you can't score five or

388
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: thirty eight. Mahomes scored thirty eight points and I think

389
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: twenty one minutes of possession of the football. That's the

390
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: standard you want to win the Lombardi, which is what

391
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: we're all trying to do. You've got to score five touchdowns.

392
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: You have to have enough weapons. Buffalo didn't have enough

393
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: defensively to stop Cincinnati. Cincinnati stopped themselves against Kansas City

394
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: because it easily could have been Cincinnati and Philly playing

395
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. But both of those offenses, Cincinnati

396
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: in Kansas City there their elite. You have to be elite.

397
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: You have got to give You got to give DeShawn

398
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: Watson weapons of plenty to be able to combat that

399
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: Kansas City machine because that guess what they're all just

400
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: gonna get better. Sky Moore as a rookie, they're all kids.

401
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna they have draft capital. They're gonna continue to

402
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: pour it into it. They will get better and better offensively,

403
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: They're all gonna be more familiar in the system. The

404
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: last touchdown, he threw the sky more More lined up

405
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: on the wrong side and Mahomes basically was like, oh, blanket,

406
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: you'll run the route anyway, just do it over there,

407
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: and they did it and he scored, So they're they're

408
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: on another level. And that's that was my big takeaway. So, like,

409
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: if you think about it, if you're if you're Rogers

410
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: or Car, Rogers obviously is better, but either one, why

411
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: would you want to go into that a f C

412
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: mess and try to get out of that thing alive?

413
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: The NFC is really winnable. Washington is not that far off.

414
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: I know they said they're gonna go with Sam Howe,

415
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: but like if er, I can't imagine that. But like

416
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: if Car was on Washington with McLaurin and some of

417
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: their weapons, I would not want to be in the

418
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: a f C. If I could avoid it, I would.

419
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of I mean the Rams

420
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: don't have the salary cap. I don't know what they

421
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: go on a mess. They made a deal with the

422
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: devil and they won, but now they got to pay

423
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: the price correct Seattle maybe could be a possibility. I

424
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: mean they are a dark horse for Aaron Rodgers and

425
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: I just saw um uh luck and for a saying

426
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: that there's at least one general manager came out of

427
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Week saying that he's convinced the Bears are

428
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: gonna deal justin fields. Um, so you know that's involved.

429
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of The combine is gonna be fascinating.

430
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: Not from our perspective because we don't pick till the

431
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: second round, so we're kind of in a wait and

432
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: see spot, but from a league business standpoint, it's gonna

433
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see like how some of this

434
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: stuff is being talked about around the league, and at

435
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: the at the height of that is is these dominoes

436
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: with Rogers and then car and what happens at the

437
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: top of the draft. Because I would think that the

438
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: Bears would want to know what they're doing at the

439
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: top of the draft. By the combine, they want to

440
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: know if they're picking number one overall or they're gonna

441
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: pick fourth. So you've got two weeks. Well, and I

442
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: think outside of that NFC South, there's a lot more

443
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: quarterback openings in the a f C. Unfortunately, Well there's

444
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: the rosters are better. We just mentioned two of them

445
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: in in Miami and New York. If you put a

446
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: big time quarterback in either one of those spots, and

447
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: two is when he's healthy. Just I don't know if

448
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: that you could really bet on him when you're in

449
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: the wind now position they're in that they feel like,

450
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: is Belichick going to make a run with Mac Jones.

451
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's open um. I guess Pittsburgh

452
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: feels good about can you picktt? Maybe like the big

453
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: brook prior on yesterday? And I think if I came

454
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: away thinking that if and she's dialed in, would anybody?

455
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: It's very possible that there there are people who have

456
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: talked themselves into pick it being better than I think

457
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: that he is, like that he had some sort of

458
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: great season because he was clutching a couple of games.

459
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: He really didn't. He didn't have a great season. I

460
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: think it's seven touchdowns, nine picks or seven and eleven

461
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: something like that. Um, he was only over a pastor

462
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: I think once or twice. He's over the other two

463
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: or fifty yards three times, Like he was not that um.

464
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: And if you don't have I mean, it's why we

465
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: did the deal for Deshaun because we just went through

466
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: a season where we saw Joe Burrow elevate Cincinnati to

467
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl appearance. You knew you're gonna have to

468
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: deal with the Homes. You knew you're gonna to deal

469
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: with Alan, You've got to deal with Lawrence. If you

470
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: don't have one of these guys, you don't have anything.

471
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: So and now it's like, if you don't have one

472
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: of these guys, because nobody's the Homes, He's on a

473
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: different level. He's in a different stratosphere. So if if

474
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: you don't have him and you have one of these

475
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: other guys, you better give him all the weapons in

476
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: the world to be able to combat it. And my

477
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: hope is with car and with Rogers, I think car

478
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: it's much more straightforward that he could go NFC. That's easy.

479
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: I think Rodgers is more difficult because I don't know

480
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: if the Packers would trade him to the NFC, you know,

481
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: because they want to make somebody a contender. I don't know.

482
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: He was always bitter that the forty Niners didn't draft him,

483
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: So everybody says forty Niners for him, but they got

484
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: two guys already and they're not gonna. I don't know

485
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: that Green Bay's got love like what they want aunts.

486
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that would look like. Um,

487
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know where he lands. He's not gonna

488
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be in the NFC North. The only

489
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: real logical place would be the NFC South. But then

490
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: the question becomes will Green Bay dealing to the NFC? Yeah,

491
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: and that's you mentioned Raiders too, is another one the Raiders.

492
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: So you have Rogers, you have car you have Lamar Jackson. Although,

493
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: and we'll get to this in a second. So I

494
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: think from a from Baltimore perspective, there will be better

495
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: news on I think you ought to feel better about

496
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: things based on some of the reporting in the last day.

497
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: So you've got those three. Um, you have the to

498
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: a situation in Miami. Yeah, I mean some of these

499
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: other teams, I don't I don't know what happens with

500
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones in New York. Does New York love him

501
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: if they can go get car or don't you think

502
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: you have an entirely different view of things if you're

503
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: in the NFC, Like if you're the Lions right now,

504
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: every windows is about ready to leave. If you're the Lions,

505
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: do you wake up whenever Rodgers finds a new home

506
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: saying we're the second best team in the NFC, third

507
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: best team in the NFC behind and the Eagles. They

508
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: might be. They've got some talent, they got an argument

509
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: for it, and they're gonna buoy that talent with two

510
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: first round picks. So I don't know, I hope these

511
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: guys go to the NFC. Car to me, feels like

512
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: NFC South, whether it's Saints Caroline because the cold weather

513
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: he's he's not been a great cold weather quarterback. All

514
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: of them are at least temperate. I mean, Carolina, New

515
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: Orleans and then Tampa. Tampa would be the biggest long

516
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: shot to me, just because I don't know, they got

517
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: to kind of tear down that roster first. But New

518
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: Orleans feels like they'd be ready to go by the

519
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: way Frank Reiks putting together a nice little staff, and

520
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: Caroline is yeah, yeah, pretty impressive. But again, like if

521
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: you're Carolina, the Windows now because everybody in that division

522
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: is garbage and they've tried and miss on quarterback however

523
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: many times. So and if I think if you're the Raiders,

524
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean I'm sure that, like if you can get Rogers,

525
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: you do. Otherwise you're gonna try and draft Strout or

526
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: one of these rookies. And you gotta if you're McDaniels,

527
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: you want to build it your way, in your vision.

528
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: You know. Um, today this actually happened. Calvin Ridley did

529
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: apply for reinstatement Adam Schefter with that this morning. Remember

530
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: he was out for betting on his own team while

531
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: he was out. Yes, is that the deal? Yeah, on

532
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: one of the one of the betting sites. Full down,

533
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: very big no no. In the league, Dolphins officially introduced

534
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio. He is the new defensive coordinator. That was

535
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: awkward with him helping Philly, but then it was Saturday

536
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: or Sunday, saturday've been on the payroll for like a week. Yeah,

537
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: and then Albright was trying to clear it up like

538
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: he was actually trying to help with the offensive. Shy

539
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: to talk tendencies of what the Chiefs do defensively. I

540
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: don't know it was. It was all pretty strange. But

541
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: he ends up in Miami as the defensive coordinator there.

542
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: Both the Panthers and the Colts discussed prominent offensive coaching

543
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,239
Speaker 1: roles for dan Orlovsky, but he decided to stay with

544
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: the network. I think it's a pretty smart move out

545
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: of dan Orlovsky. He makes nice money. He makes nice money,

546
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: he's got stability. He's from Connecticut. You have every platform,

547
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: You're on every ESPN platform. You're doing a little college

548
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: football on Saturdays. You have a nice little thing going there,

549
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, nice little NFL gig during the week, couple

550
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: hours a day. Yeah, it's pretty good. Maybe you got

551
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: to do an all day car wash once a week

552
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: on get up like you're living your best life. Why

553
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: do you want to go don't become a coach and

554
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: go on this every three years looking for new home.

555
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: Um Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurt says he's not really discussed

556
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: possible long term deal days after the Super Bowl long

557
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: during his locker room clean out session that was yesterday,

558
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: he said there will be a day when the conversation

559
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: could we had, but today isn't that day. Um, he's

560
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: a second round pick, so he's gotting out a four

561
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: year deal, so he's got next year will be his

562
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: third year, right, hold on, he's the same He's in

563
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: the same draft class as Burrow, so it'll be his

564
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: fourth year. So this is this is it? He finished?

565
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: Didn't he finish second to Burrow? Uh? In the Heisman?

566
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: I think so? I don't. I don't know. I think

567
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: they beat L s U beat Oklahoma in the national semifinal.

568
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: I can't remember if that was the Kyler team, if

569
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: that was the Hurts team. I'm pretty sure it was

570
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: the Hurts team. They got to the college. They both

571
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: made the playoff, but I think it was the Hurts team.

572
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: Hurt signed a four year contract with the Eagles as

573
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: a second rounder. But I'm pretty sure that he's the same.

574
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: I think he's going into his fourth year, the same

575
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: draft Burrow. Yeah, but this is it for him. Yeah,

576
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: there's no fifth year, there's not they can franchise him.

577
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know he can play. He could big

578
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: time play, that's for sure. It's one of the great stories,

579
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: honestly in the history of football. What what what everything

580
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: that happened and how it all worked out for him

581
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: and what he's become. Um, they're not gonna screw it up.

582
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: Philly's not gonna screw it up. Whatever they need to

583
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: get done, they'll get done. And I can't imagine they've

584
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: got some big decisions to make their too. They are

585
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean much a lot of their defense from Reddick

586
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they'll lose Miles Sanders. Um. But I

587
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: think you know the thing about Philly, They've always i

588
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: mean the whole time I've paid attention to the league,

589
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: people have always wanted to go play for the Eagles.

590
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: They've always been well in free agency. I mean they

591
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: had that Remember they had that dream team with Vic

592
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: when they had Namdi Asmon, all those guys came in,

593
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: Like people have always wanted to play in Philly. I mean, Offensively,

594
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: they're still they're loaded. They have weapons. Goes back to

595
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: what we were talking about with the Chiefs and the

596
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: teams in the a f C. They have the weapons

597
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: offensively that they can take a hit. Defensively and they're

598
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: gonna put up points. Yeah. I thought that was you know,

599
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: probably that second or third full game of Theirs I watched.

600
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: I thought their approach was fascinating. How basically every set

601
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: of every series of plays was a four down series

602
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: because they're automatic on short yardage. So like third and

603
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: four to them is really like second and four. You know,

604
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: like it's a totally different approach because of that rugby

605
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: play they have it that's unstoppable. Um, wondering if the

606
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: league will if that will still be around. I think,

607
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: at the very least, you got to stop the pushing

608
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: from behind stuff. I mean, that's at the very least

609
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: that's got to be done. Um, this was funny that

610
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: the Juju Bradberry, by the way, I was so I

611
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: took the biggest hat you can tip to James Bradberry

612
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: for saying no no. I held him like reps blew

613
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: it blah blah blah. He goes, no, no no, No, I

614
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: did it. I did it. I was hoping they wouldn't

615
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: call me, but I did it, like he owned it.

616
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: So then Juju goes at him. I thought A J.

617
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: Brown put him in a body bag. A Brown said

618
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: enough is enough. I know that, thanks thanks for coming.

619
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: Homes got in late, and he's kind of like a

620
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: trump card that you can't trump. But I looked at

621
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: the entire back and forth between starting with Juju and

622
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: A J and then eventually Mahomes. I thought a J.

623
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: Brown one. At one point he called Juju Smith Schuster

624
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: TikTok boy. He said, you're nothing without Mahomes. You're on

625
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: a one year contract, like just smoked Juju Smith Schuster.

626
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: So I thought a J. Brown kind of this was

627
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: the This was the A J. Brown total thing. Yeah,

628
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: first off, congratulations, y'all deserve it. This is lame. You

629
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: was on the way out of the league before Mahomes

630
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: resurrected your career on your one year deal. TikTok boy.

631
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: He admitted that he grabbed you, But don't act like

632
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: you're like that or ever was. But congratulations again, he's

633
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: not wrong. And the other reason, by the way that J. J.

634
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster played in that game, it's because he got

635
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: a million dollars to be played. Of the snaps, like

636
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: he hadn't played most of the playoffs, he'd been hurt. Well,

637
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's out there on every play.

638
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: Now he made some big place in the second Have

639
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: you had six catches? I think, But don't let it

640
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: kid you. There were financial reasons for him playing in

641
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. Yeah, no, there were I thought, I

642
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: thought Brown kind of one the day. All right, we'll

643
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: continue our tour, staying in the a f C North.

644
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: We're on the Baltimore Ravens ten and seven last year

645
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: where the rat Birds they've got a new offensive coordinator.

646
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: It's a guy we know very well. Uh and apparently

647
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: it's a guy that Lamar Jackson likes a lot. So

648
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: we'll get to all of that coming up next for

649

658
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: with a look at the Baltimore Ravens ten and seven

659
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: a year ago, second in the a f C North,

660
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: Much like we did the Steelers yesterday at nine and eight.

661
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: How in the hell do they go ten and seven?

662
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: Lamar doesn't how many games you played, and then with

663
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: Huntley for for a lot of it, it didn't matter.

664
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: They shoo nine and seven. Harbaugh is in his fifteenth season.

665
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: He's a hundred and forty seven and ninety five all time. UM,

666
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: we split with them. We won in Baltimore. They beat

667
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: us here on December seventeen. UM the final league rankings

668
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: for Baltimore. Their offense was sixteen second in rushing twenty

669
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: eight and passing. Their defense was ninth third in rushing

670
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: twenty six in passing turn turnover differentials plus four UM.

671
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson seventeen touchdown seven sixty four in the ground

672
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: added three touchdowns. Mark Andrews a leading receiver. Justin Houston

673
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: of the team with nine and a half sacks. Patrick

674
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: Queen led the team with a hundred and seventeen tackles. UM.

675
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: They are a team that, quite frankly, it's at a

676
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: point they had this, They've had these injuries with them

677
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: a the last couple of years. There at a point

678
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: where a new contract needs to be done by him.

679
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: I've always wondered if there was more problems there than

680
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: than ever. But when they announced the Todd Mounkin UH

681
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: hiring yesterday, a lot of the reporting count amount of

682
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore is in fact from John Harbaugh, was that Lamar

683
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: Jackson was heavily involved in the hiring of Todd Mounkin.

684
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: It's who he wanted, which, as we're sitting here yesterday,

685
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: going Todd's the last guy that I want in Baltimore

686
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: calling ball plays for Lamar. UM. So I to me,

687
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: that's a home run from the Baltimore side of it

688
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: is would be what Todd will do there. Um. Beyond Lamar,

689
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: they have Marcus Peters as a free agent justin Houston

690
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: as well Jason Pierre Paul on the defensive end. They

691
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: need big time weapons on offense to join that for

692
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: a but it starts and stops with Lamar. And I

693
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: was reading something out of Pukeville UH that the Squealers

694
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: might go after Marcus Peters. It makes sense, makes sense,

695
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: would not like that at all. Um twelve games for

696
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson missed the entire month of December for the

697
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: second consecutive season. Your best ability is your availability, and

698
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: he continues to not be available at the most important

699
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: time of the season. Is that contract driven? Maybe, but

700
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: wouldn't you think that you'd want to put your best

701
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: tape out when it matters the most. And if he

702
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: if truly if this is if this is just him

703
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: battling injuries, I gotta think real hard. If on the

704
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, how much money I want to pay this guy.

705
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: I know he's legit, I know he's a former m

706
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: v P. But he's not on the field when you

707
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: need him the most. Well, that would and that's been

708
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: their beef with him, right is its availability and where

709
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: is it um? So yeah, I you know, from their standpoint,

710
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: they're kind of in a bit of a crossroads. And

711
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: the crazy thing and what I'm jealous about is they

712
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: win despite being in a crossroads, like, they still win.

713
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: They still are a playoff team, they still win. It

714
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: is and them in Pittsburgh. It's a shame. But the

715
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: two most stable organizations in the a f C, or

716
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: two of the three or foremost are in our division.

717
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: And the one roster in the a f C that

718
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: feels like, if it can stay together, can go toe

719
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: to toe with Kansas City is in our division in Cincinnati.

720
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: So it's brutal. We were talking yesterday. Give a I

721
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: see no scenario where we are not picked fourth in

722
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: the a f C North to start next year. Gotta earn,

723
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: you gotta have, you have to earn the opportunity to

724
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: be ranked higher. And it's gonna go Cincinnati. And then

725
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: what Pittsburgh could have a great I mean, Pittsburgh has

726
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: three picks of the top fifty in the draft. Um,

727
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: so it'll be Cincinnati, Baltimore, Pittsburgh depending on the Lamar situation,

728
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: and then I think I think us at four. This

729
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: this Baltimore roster is really good. They draft well, they

730
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: do all of the things that you would want. It's

731
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: just for them. How do they approach the Lamar Jackson offseason?

732
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: Do they franchise him? Do they try to get a

733
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: long term deal. The reporting that we had seen in

734
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: terms of where they were was they started out a

735
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen million, They went up to a hundred

736
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 1: and thirty and he wanted to be too thirty point five.

737
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: He wanted to be more than d Shaun. When you're

738
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: a hundred million apart, that's a long ways. The other

739
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: fascinating thing to me and maybe Todd Monkin will change this.

740
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's why he's being brought in to change this.

741
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: The fact that the wide receivers on this football team,

742
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: who are pretty talented, there's some there's some really really

743
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: talented ball players just can't get the football. I mean

744
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews had seventy three catches, DeMarcus Robinson second with

745
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: duvern A thirty seven. Rashad Bateman had fifteen catches and

746
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: only seven games. I mean Deshan Jackson played seven games,

747
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: they had nine catches. You trotted him out, you trotted

748
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: out Sammy Watkins. You have great running backs, you have

749
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: a really really good tight end. I just it's I

750
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: don't know. To me, it's it's mind blowing that they

751
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: have not been able to figure out with all the

752
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: offensive minds that have been in that program, and there

753
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: have been some good ones that have been o c s,

754
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: that they cannot get the wide receivers going on. This

755
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 1: football team tried Hollywood Brown and then trading him away. Um,

756
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: I also think it's a place where I mean Hollywood Brown,

757
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean he was tight with Lamar and he's an

758
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma guy. With Mark Andrews, like it just comes to reality,

759
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: like I'm not going to get the ball like I

760
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: want to. I want to go to the ball through

761
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: my way, and and right now that that just hasn't

762
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: been the case for them. Um, they are sturdy though,

763
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: I mean, holy cow, you start looking at that defense.

764
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: The defense, they had a ro Kuan Smith this year,

765
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen bounced back and for a bit of a

766
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 1: slow start the year. Their defensive line is so formidable. Uh.

767
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: Their secondary is great. You mentioned Peters as a as

768
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: a free agent, but beyond that, they've obviously Marcus Williams

769
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: is there, Marlon Humphreys, their secondary strong, They draft well,

770
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: they're so stable at head coach, their hosts, so stable

771
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: in the front office. Um, it's just it's just going

772
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: to come down to Lamar. That really isn't the Roan

773
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: Smith deal? Yeah, I mean they're not afraid to go

774
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: pull the trigger. No, they went and got him. Now

775
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: they've given him a max deal. Yeah. I mean in

776
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: nine games he was he was a complete game wrecker.

777
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: And with this football team like they're they're are so

778
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: good defensively and less we forget the special team's portion

779
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: of this program. Yeah, they always crushed that. I mean,

780
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: they've got the best kicker maybe of all time. YEA.

781
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: So they from an intangible standpoint, they have everything that

782
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: you need. Um. I think the most fascinating thing around

783
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: them will be Todd and what type of offense. This

784
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: will be the first time that that Lamar has played

785
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: in this type of offense. I think what you probably

786
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: hope if you're John Harboy is you say to Todd Munkin, Hey,

787
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: can you install what Philly just did with Jalen Hurts?

788
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: Can we run that here? Because Lamar is a more

789
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: talented version of Jalen Hurts. Can we can we just

790
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: do that? And Todd's probably going, yeah, I can do that.

791
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: I mean we ran variations of that when I was

792
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: at Georgia and we did not have somebody who could

793
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: run at the way a Littleamar does. So I had

794
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: a kid that was a no name and id him

795
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: a superstar. Yeah, like it's and you remember Nathan, I

796
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday. Todd is brilliant and I really

797
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: we had some fantastic conversations in here we did, and

798
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: he I think he proved how brilliant he was at

799
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: the University of Georgia, UM and what he was able

800
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: to do with those offenses, and I think that you

801
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: will see unfortunately for US, I think you will see

802
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: a Baltimore team next year, provided they get it all

803
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: in order with Lamar and they can. They need to

804
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: add weapons obviously, but I think that this will be

805
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: the best position Lamar Jackson's been into succeed since he

806
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: won the MVP. I really do. Um if he can

807
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: stay healthy and stay on the stay on the field,

808
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: and not just him staying healthy, but the rest of

809
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: this team that they've been snake bit in the last

810
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: couple of years, probably honestly like two years ago, like

811
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: similar to us, Like just devastating injuries that they've had,

812
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: but um, they win despite it all and ten and

813
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: seven a year ago. Uh. Biggest takeaway from our two

814
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: games against the Ravens for me is much like Pittsburgh,

815
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: they are better than the sum of their parts. They play,

816
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: they punch above their weight. Baltimore does. There's belief, there's culture, Um,

817
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: there's all of those things. We mentioned this yesterday with

818
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: Asburg and we're talking about Pickens and like we have

819
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: us to get to pick Pickens. But I don't know

820
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: that he would have thrived here the way that he

821
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: thrived in Pittsburgh because of kind of the guard rails

822
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: that are there in Pittsburgh based on organization, winning success

823
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: and Mike Donlin been there a long time and you

824
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: don't cross him, and a similar thing kind of it's

825
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: a different tone. But in Harbor with Harbaugh in Baltimore,

826
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 1: they like you said, they draft well. Their free agent

827
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: signings are always good players uh, looking to to do

828
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: big things and ready to take that next big step.

829
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: They get the guys at the right time. They know

830
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: how to develop guys internally. You know, rarely do you

831
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 1: hear of issues during the season within the outside of Lamar.

832
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: Have you heard anything about the Ravens off the football field. No,

833
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,479
Speaker 1: almost never. Yeah, they're buttoned up. They know what they're doing,

834
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: they know how to win. It's all about the culture.

835
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: It's goes back to the Tomblin thing. I mean that

836
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 1: Steeler team was dead and buried at two an No, Nope,

837
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: actually not quite Nope. They'll be fine. Um Zee and

838
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: I had a couple of questions. Biggest question for this

839
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: team this off season. It's just Lamar and weapons. Yeah, well,

840
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: that's the draft free agency you have if you're if

841
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna participate in the a f C right now,

842
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: thirty five points a game to win the a f C.

843
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: That's where you need to be. You have to be

844
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: able to score down amount of points. That's what it's

845
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna take to be Kansas City and Buffalo and Cincinnati

846
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: for the next and maybe even Jacksonville as well by

847
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: the time they get humming. If you could pick one

848
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: player off of Baltimore to become a Brown, who would

849
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: you take? Get one player off of Baltimore to be

850
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: a Cleveland Brown? Well, I it would be hard enough

851
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: to take Marcus Williams, wouldn't it to put him next

852
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: to Delpot and then you've got a free safety over top.

853
00:45:54,480 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: Who can center fielder like that? Would do it? Like? Yeah?

854
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: For sure? Yeah? Are we talking about guys that are

855
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: free going to be? No? No, no, you can pick

856
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: anybody like yesterday we obviously went t J. Watt, But

857
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: like I'd love to have George Pickens, gimme weapons, I'd

858
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: love to have George Pickens on this. Yeah. Absolutely, um

859
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews would be interesting too. With with two tight

860
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: ends and Chief and Andrews and two elite pass cashers,

861
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: I feel like coach Tfansky, you have some fun with that,

862
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: who's the is it Duvernet? Who's the speed? Sir? Yeah,

863
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: Devin do their name. He just hasn't done anything yet,

864
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: but he's he is that guy is the burner. No

865
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver has done anything in this No, it's true,

866
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: No nobody has um. And then what would be your

867
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,919
Speaker 1: perfect uniform that you have not seen them wear? They've

868
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: worn't a lot of them. They wear the all black,

869
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: they have the they have the purple over white. The

870
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 1: purple or when they come out with the purple unis

871
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty awesome. It's like the old New York

872
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: Giants when they come out in the blue and they've

873
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: got the you know, the red white, but you know

874
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: that the Giants. It's one of those striking uniforms. It's

875
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: the best stadium in the NFL. It's it's it is.

876
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: It's awesome to say that. But from a road standpoint,

877
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: it's the best environment. It's the best sight lines. Now.

878
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: I hear that we're going up top eventually when they renovate,

879
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: But it's I think from a fan it is THO two.

880
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: I think it's the way that they built the thing.

881
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: It's really per Fans are right on top of you. Yeah,

882
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: it's great. It's hard to beat it. Everything that they

883
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: do there is great and they're so nice. Thirty minutes

884
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: before kick, Ozzy Newsome comes in, gives you a big hug.

885
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: How you doing, like hugs everybody in the booth if

886
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: you don't know you shakes your hand and just classy,

887
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: and it's it sucks. It's because there is. But I

888
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 1: will say, it's like there was a time where playing

889
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens was like, well, this is gonna be two losses. Yeah,

890
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: and it wasn't too far I go that that was

891
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: the case. It's not the case anymore. We we have

892
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: caught up to the Ravens and we are competitive with

893
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I mean, it's you won one. You could

894
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: have made the argument that you were in it on

895
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 1: that second one in the early game in October. Yeah,

896
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: for sure. It's It's one of those things where you know,

897
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: with with them in Pittsburgh, like you've caught them, but

898
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: they're not the who you're trying to catch anymore. But

899
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: right now you got to catch It's the only reason

900
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: why you know you've caught them but haven't been able

901
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: to leap frog them. As the culture that's it because

902
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: it shore it shouldn't be there. They wore one that

903
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: I know that it was panned over there, but I

904
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: just had never seen anything quite like it. Where they

905
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: had the black hat. I want to say, they had

906
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: a had a purple jersey and like a yellow pant

907
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: that played off of like uh, because they have a

908
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: little bit of that gold ish color in their uniform.

909
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,439
Speaker 1: They used that color on a pant. They wore them

910
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 1: once and I know a lot of people didn't like them,

911
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: but I thought they looked they were pretty solid. There's

912
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: not a whole lot they kind of have. They've done

913
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: everything that you can do. They have all different They've

914
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: gone all white, they've gone white over purple, purple over white,

915
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: black over black, and like they just they're in game stuff.

916
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: They always bring back the alums, just like the Squealers.

917
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: They bring them back, and like inevitably, it's when we're

918
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: playing them the reunion of the Super Bowl team, and

919
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, Raised doing the Dirty Bird as he comes

920
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: out and his whole dance and routine, and you're just like,

921
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,439
Speaker 1: well this is already uphill, but we haven't kicked off yet.

922
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: It feels like you're down to touchdown before you even

923
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: get the ball, before the ball is kicked. But if

924
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 1: if if Lamar doesn't come, if Lamar leaves, if things

925
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: go south and there's no repairing this and heat out,

926
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: where does where does he end up eight months from now?

927
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know where you'd put it, how you'd

928
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: put a value on him. Well, he can't while we

929
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: think you can throw the football. I mean to me,

930
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: he to me, my, he's a Miami kid, you know,

931
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: does the end back end up down with the Dolphins.

932
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: But again, I like I think of him in Atlanta.

933
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: I think that that that makes a lot of sense.

934
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 1: You know, go to the NFC South Tepper, the owner

935
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 1: of the Carolina Panthers, has tried forever to get a quarterback.

936
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: I think you would pay the most, the biggest price

937
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: to get one. So you know, maybe that would be

938
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: something that there would be an interest. But that's their

939
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: whole operation. Is that. That's all that matters for them.

940
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: Is Lamar, get the coordinator locked in and what does

941
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: that look like? That's that's the whole operation. Second hour

959
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: an emotional moment and week, and I'm just wondering, are

960
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: you still kind of flying high from everything? I am.

961
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm definitely worn out from a busy weekend. We brought

962
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: all four of our kids out there. Um, and we

963
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: really wanted to make them a part of it because

964
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 1: we felt like, obviously they were a big part of

965
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: the whole journey and the process to the Hall of Fame,

966
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: and we wanted to make sure we were making those

967
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: memories alongside them. But I will say that partying until

968
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: well after midnight, which is already much later than I'm

969
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: usually awake, and then having the kids wake you up

970
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: asking for the screen time pass code on their iPad

971
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: at like six am made for not a lot of

972
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,720
Speaker 1: sleep and a lot of tired eyes on the flight

973
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: back from Phoenix yesterday. It would be good training for

974
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: the summer for you. Hey, um, were you aware of

975
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: it when we saw you a couple of weeks ago?

976
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: And are you also worried that and Hee's keeping other

977
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: secrets from you? Um? I guess. I try not to

978
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: worry about things that are out of my control, but certainly,

979
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: and he has proven to be a great secret holder. UM.

980
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: I want to say they the day I learned about it,

981
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: the day that the knock came Wash January twenty seven,

982
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, um, so yeah, it was a couple

983
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I can't remember when we met last,

984
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: but it was really hard to kind of hold that

985
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: secret in amongst all the people that I love and

986
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: respect that we're wishing me luck and asking me and

987
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: I heard anything yet or what I thought? Um, and

988
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: especially as it got closer and people were like, oh,

989
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, you're probably in, right, and it was like, well,

990
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I have a pretty good case. And

991
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: you know, there was even a couple um times, I

992
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: don't even remember exactly what it was, but it was

993
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: kind of like, well, if I get in, this is

994
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do on Friday, like trying to set

995
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: up just media and things on Friday morning. And they

996
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: were joking like, well, what happens if you don't get in?

997
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: You don't want to set all this stuff up if

998
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: you don't get in, And I'm like, guys, I've known

999
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. It's not exactly a secret anymore.

1000
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: Did you first off, congratulations, well deserved? Um, yeah, you know,

1001
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: kind of off of that, Uh, you know how I

1002
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: guess overwhelming hasn't been the last couple of days. I

1003
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: imagine the phone calls, the text messages, the d M

1004
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: s have really blown up. Just what has been the uh?

1005
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: I guess the reception and the outpouring of support that

1006
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: you've received since uh it was announced, it's been incredible. Um,

1007
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: I've never had so many text messages in my inbox.

1008
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 1: Usually I'm the type of person that tries to be

1009
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: really responsive and get back to people within twenty four hours.

1010
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I try to do, is as

1011
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: as long as I have my phone or i'm you know,

1012
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 1: not hunting in the woods, and then I don't want

1013
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: to talk to anybody. But I used to try to

1014
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: get back to everybody. But the first night I had

1015
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: over three messages when I started responding, and then the

1016
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: time I've spent like two and a half hours responding,

1017
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: I was back over three hundred. And then I realized

1018
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: I was missing like important things like oh, here's your

1019
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: tickets for the Super Bowl, this is what time you

1020
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: have to be there for the shuttle tomorrow. And then

1021
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: I realized, okay, I really need to prioritize rather than

1022
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: just going in order, I need to like kind of

1023
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 1: sift through these messages and find out, all, right, what

1024
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: are the things that I have to know for tomorrow,

1025
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: and then try to get back to the and then

1026
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: get back to everybody else. Hopefully by the time I

1027
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: get back to Wisconsin. So um, it's certainly been a

1028
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,359
Speaker 1: little bit overwhelming emotionally at times. Walking up onto the

1029
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: stage Friday afternoon for the Merlin Olson luncheon when they

1030
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: announced us as Hall of Famers and there's like seventy

1031
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers that are back, and they're all on

1032
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: their gold jackets, and they announced your name. They show

1033
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: the Knock video and all of a sudden, you see,

1034
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: you know, eighty legends of the game, many of the

1035
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: faces that were guys that you cheered for and that

1036
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: you idolized as a kid. They're standing up and they're

1037
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: clapping for you, and you have to walk this little

1038
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 1: walk up onto the stage and you get to ask

1039
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,959
Speaker 1: a question. Remember my knees just crumbling and going weak.

1040
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: And I was just so overwhelmed with emotion in that

1041
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: moment that I lost like dexterity and the ability to

1042
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: think of what I was trying to say. And I

1043
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: probably didn't say anything that made any sense in that moment.

1044
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: But it's one of many overwhelming emotional moments that I

1045
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: had in the last week. You've had so many teammates

1046
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: over the years, so I I know we joke about

1047
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: the quarterbacking often. Um, I think I saw you spent

1048
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 1: some time with Colt McCoy recently. I'm just kind of curious,

1049
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, because some of those guys they just weren't

1050
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: here long enough for you really don't have any type

1051
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: of a meaningful relationship with him. But I am kind

1052
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: of curious. You know, how many of those guys have

1053
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: you kept in touch with over the years, and how

1054
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: many of you know, reached out to congratulate in thank

1055
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 1: you for keeping their blindside clear. Yeah, there's actually been

1056
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: a ton of them that have reached out since the

1057
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: announcement happened on Thursday night. And I think that's one

1058
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: of the cool parts of being an inducted to the

1059
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame is you start hearing from a lot

1060
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 1: of guys that maybe you haven't heard from in a while, um,

1061
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: and it triggers a lot of cool memories from your

1062
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 1: time together. You know. Maybe it wasn't always on the

1063
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: field on Sundays with a wind, but it was memories

1064
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: in the locker room or the weight room, or or

1065
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: maybe a dinner that you went to with them and

1066
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: their wife. Are like with me and Colt, we became

1067
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 1: such good friends because we're both kind of country boys,

1068
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: and we'd spend the off season hunting and fishing together,

1069
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: and then our wives became good friends. And UM. Him

1070
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: being the backup quarterback for the Cardinals this season, he

1071
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: was like a mile down the road from where we

1072
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 1: had our rental house last weekend. And so my oldest daughter, Logan,

1073
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: turned ten on Friday, and they threw a birthday party

1074
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: for her because we both have four kids that are

1075
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: pretty similar in age. UM, So it was great having

1076
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity to share my Hall of Fame moment with

1077
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: not only my kids and my wife and my family, UM,

1078
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: but a lot of people that were there in Arizona

1079
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,439
Speaker 1: that I played with, UM, but also people that were

1080
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: just watching back home and being able to make those

1081
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: connections and have them reach out and and kind of

1082
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: talk to him and just catch up with a lot

1083
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: of those guys and and remember some of the more

1084
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: positive memories that we had together as teammates. Hey, Joe,

1085
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: congratulations again. UM, of all those messages, hundreds and hundreds,

1086
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: is there anything that surprised you, anybody who reached out

1087
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: that you know, off the top of your head, was

1088
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: surprising to you, or a little more memorable for any reason. Um,

1089
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: I would say that. You know, I haven't talked to

1090
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: Peyton Anning in a few years, probably since I retired,

1091
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: or maybe shortly after. And he sent the congratulations message,

1092
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: and you know, we kind of went back and forth

1093
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: a little bit, which was kind of cool, Um, just

1094
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: because I think I told the poop story a bunch

1095
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: of times in the last couple of weeks before I

1096
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: got inducted. That was kind of funny when he reached

1097
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 1: out because then I thought of the story again. Hey, Um,

1098
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: And you know, I know you've talked for years about

1099
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: Walter Jones, how much you admired his game, how much

1100
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: you had studied him. Um, looking back at it, though,

1101
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: you know the way your careers um lined up, you

1102
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: you would have only played in one game in the

1103
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: NFL together You're rooting season. Uh, Seattle came to Cleveland.

1104
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: Did you actually like have interaction and talked to Walter

1105
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: Jones before or was the knock kind of really the

1106
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: most you guys have spent together. Yeah, the knock was

1107
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: really the most we've ever spent together. I remember him

1108
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: being on the field when Seattle came to Cleveland, and Um,

1109
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: actually I think the equipment managers, Brad Mellon, he had

1110
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: spent a bunch of time in Seattle, so he knew

1111
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: Big Walt, and I think he knew that I had

1112
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: like a man crush on him, and and the way

1113
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: he played, he was kind of idol. And they remember

1114
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 1: when I got to the stadium before we played the

1115
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: Seahawks as a rookie, they had printed out a picture

1116
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: of Walter Jones and they put it in my locker. Uh.

1117
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: And I can't remember if he wrote something on it

1118
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: pretending to be like Walter or if it was just

1119
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: a picture. Um. But I never really had a chance

1120
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: to get to meet him other than just saying high

1121
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: briefly on the field. Um. Until he came to the house.

1122
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: And then pretty soon my four year old daughters like

1123
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: reading him bedtime stories and wanting to give him some

1124
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,959
Speaker 1: of our stuffed animals. Yeah you do. And Joe, Um,

1125
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: I was wondering, where where are your goals now? You

1126
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: know you said when you were drafted here start Pro

1127
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: Bowl and now you have the Hall of Fame, So

1128
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: what are your goals now? I would say, first and foremost,

1129
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: I want to be a great father, a great husband,

1130
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: and a great friend to all the people in my life. UM,

1131
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: that's first and foremost. And then I think after that,

1132
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: just trying to find purpose in life, trying to be

1133
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: a servant for others, the people in my life. UM.

1134
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 1: That had a big impact on me being where I

1135
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: am right now as a Hall of Fame inductee. UM.

1136
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: And then trying to find a way to have some successes,

1137
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 1: some wins in life in the business world, and UM

1138
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: more importantly though, more than anything, just be present with

1139
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: my family and my friends as much as possible. It's

1140
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: one of those things that you have to put to

1141
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: the side a lot when you are focused on being

1142
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: a player to be the best version of yourself for

1143
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: your teammates, and then you just want to flip those

1144
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: priorities and make sure you can be around as much

1145
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: as you can. And I told somebody this offseason on

1146
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: fellow NFL player. We were hanging out and we were

1147
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 1: talking about just being a father and retire ing and

1148
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: things like that, and I said, you know, I think

1149
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: I've thought about it a lot, because sometimes I'm a

1150
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: deep thinker and sometimes too much, but I feel, like

1151
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: I said, the scoreboard and fatherhood is is a one

1152
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: to one ratio of time spent with your kids, Like

1153
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: there's no curve, there's no grading on a curve like, oh,

1154
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: well you were here for this, but not that, like

1155
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: because you never know when those special moments are going

1156
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 1: to be with your kids that they remember. Like I

1157
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: had my kids at the Super Bowl and a suite

1158
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame this past weekend. They probably

1159
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: won't remember one second of it, But you know what

1160
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: if I go pick them up from school and we

1161
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: drive home and all of a sudden something comes up

1162
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: and we have a meaningful conversation, that might be something

1163
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: they remember the rest of their life. So for me

1164
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: just being there as much as I possibly can, because

1165
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: you never know when those moments are going to happen. Yeah,

1166
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that because I have three kids

1167
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: and now for grandchildren. Um, how you made that transition,

1168
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: Joe from playing and you're still connected to cards with

1169
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: then it's on network and all, but you've made it

1170
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: a transition smoother, it seems in some venms. How have

1171
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: you done that? I think what I did when I

1172
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 1: was planned was trying to really watch my teammates and

1173
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: my friends that went through this process when they were

1174
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: a little bit older than me, and they decided to retire,

1175
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: and they stepped away and trying to learn from their experience,

1176
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, and then talk to them and figure out

1177
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: what were the challenges, what were the things that were easy,

1178
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: and if there was any strategies that helped them kind

1179
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: of deal with that transition. Because I don't care who

1180
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: you are, I don't care how much success or not

1181
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: success you had in the NFL. When you're done playing,

1182
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: you lose your identity as a football player, and you're

1183
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: doing it for a lot of people in their late

1184
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: twenties or early thirties, and you're not a football player anymore.

1185
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: And most people don't lose that identity of who they

1186
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: were as a working person until their sixties and seventy

1187
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: year old and and everybody else in their peer group

1188
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 1: is doing that at that time. Um. But I think

1189
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: one thing that I have learned just watching people is

1190
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: you've got to find a purpose. You got to find

1191
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: a passion outside of you know, just friends and family,

1192
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: because if you think that you're just gonna not do

1193
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 1: things and that's gonna give you happiness, Like, oh, I'm

1194
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: gonna just not work out and not go to meetings,

1195
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: and and not uh go to practice and if that's

1196
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: gonna make you happy, maybe for a few months, but

1197
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: like leisure time and not working hard like that only

1198
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: gives you a little bit of satisfaction, and then eventually

1199
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: you have to find purpose and direction and something that

1200
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: gets you out of bed every day. Hey Joe, Um,

1201
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: besides the Walter Jones knock, like, what were the some

1202
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: of the most memorable encounters you had being in that

1203
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame circle for the first time. I think

1204
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: meeting a lot of the other offensive tackles that were

1205
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. Um. I've known Anthony Muneo's

1206
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: for a while, but just seeing him again, I had

1207
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: never met Orlando Pace. He was a guy who was

1208
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 1: one of my heroes growing up. Um, so seeing him

1209
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl was awesome. Got to take a

1210
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: picture with him and just chat a little bit. And

1211
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that's really cool is once

1212
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 1: you become a Hall of Famer, even though I don't

1213
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: have the gold jacket yet, all those guys knew that

1214
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 1: I was becoming part of that family and all of

1215
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: a sudden, like for them, they kind of see you

1216
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more as appear and they want to

1217
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: accept you in and they want to find out more

1218
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: about your life and who you are and what makes

1219
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: you tick. UM. So that was that was really really

1220
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: awesome having that opportunity, UM to just spend time with

1221
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 1: the greats that came before you. And then did you

1222
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 1: do the bust? I know, you sat for the jacket

1223
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: and the ring and stuff, So like what was that

1224
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: whole experience Like did it make it feel I guess

1225
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 1: more real that you're going through that process. It certainly

1226
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: did make it feel real. And I think the bust

1227
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: measurements was probably the moment of the measurement what they

1228
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: called sizing Saturday, that made it the most real, um

1229
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: because you sit with the sculptor who's a world famous

1230
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 1: sculptor who does a lot of the busts um and

1231
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: he's been doing them for a while and he's measuring like,

1232
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, every little nose hair that you've got, the

1233
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: giant ears I got, and he's like, oh, man, I

1234
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: don't think we've got a measurement that size before. But

1235
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: he's taking picture is and then you get a chance

1236
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: to look at some of the work that he's done

1237
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: and as kind of like a little bit of a

1238
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 1: history nerd. He's the first master sculptor that I've ever met,

1239
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: and so I was really interested if he'd studied the

1240
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: works of like da Vinci and all the great sculptors

1241
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: from Europe, and like, I just was like picking his

1242
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: brain about, Hey, have you ever been to Florence? Have

1243
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: been to Rome? Like what's the most amazing sculpture that

1244
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: you've ever seen? And like how do they give you

1245
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: perspective on like your own work? And uh, he probably

1246
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: thought I was a pretty big nerd for asking all

1247
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: these questions, but I was really fascinated. And the processes.

1248
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: They take your measurements, they take your pictures of your face,

1249
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: and then in April they'll have like a clay mold

1250
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: somewhat carved out, and then you fly to his studio

1251
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: in Utah and you sit there for I don't know,

1252
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: four or five hours, and then he kind of finishes

1253
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: the details and make sure that you're happy with what

1254
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 1: he's done, and then they take that and I think

1255
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: they moved out in Lebronze somehow. Yeah, Joe, just wondering

1256
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: on have you decided yet who will present you on

1257
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: your induction day? And if so, would you be willing

1258
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: to share that with us. Yeah. Um, one of the

1259
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 1: misses from this past weekend is I really wanted to

1260
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 1: spend some time talking to the other Hall of famers

1261
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 1: and asked him about who did you decide to be

1262
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: your presenter and why? And I forgot because I got

1263
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: a little bit sidetracked. That was sort of in a

1264
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of these guys, Um, And so

1265
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 1: I haven't made a decision and I haven't really even

1266
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: spent enough time thinking about it h to have narrowed

1267
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: it down. So that's definitely on my to do list.

1268
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: Do you have a lot of really great candidates. I'm

1269
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that you have mulled over a number of

1270
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 1: people who could do that for you. Yeah, it's crazy, Marka.

1271
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: I haven't really thought about it all that much. And

1272
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 1: I know for some guys, the few guys that I've

1273
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: talked to you about it, it was really obvious because

1274
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: they had one person that was in their life their

1275
01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: entire NFL career, whether it be like an owner or

1276
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: a coach, or like sometimes a teammate or a friend,

1277
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,919
Speaker 1: and it was sort of a no brainer for them.

1278
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: But for a guy that had nine offensive coordinators and

1279
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: two owners and six head coaches and like revolving door

1280
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. Um, I've had a lot of people that

1281
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: have touched my life and have been a huge part

1282
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: of this journey for me. But so I think that

1283
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: makes it a little challenging to kind of narrow it

1284
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: down and figure out who's that one person that I

1285
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: want to make sure is presenting me and that I

1286
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 1: would be the most excited about having up on stage.

1287
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: Maybe a quarterbacks could each say one sentence, Well, I

1288
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: think somebody told me that Billy Manzel would be a

1289
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 1: great candidate because certainly the people in Cleveland would love

1290
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 1: to hear from him. Sure, thanks Joe, Hey, Joe, congratulations,

1291
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 1: nice to meet you over zoom. UM, I just want

1292
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: to ask, obviously, you know this has probably been in

1293
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: the back of your mind for years. I just wonder,

1294
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: when the knock actually came and you find out you're

1295
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: going in, were the emotions like what you expected they

1296
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: would be for you, or was it something that was,

1297
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,919
Speaker 1: you know, much more overwhelming or emotional than you could

1298
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 1: have imagined before it actually happened. It was a lot

1299
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 1: more emotional and overwhelming than I expected, because the knock

1300
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: caught me off guard. I wasn't prepared at all. Um.

1301
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: I assumed wrongly that the knock would come pretty close

1302
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,799
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, because I figured that they wanted

1303
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: to keep the window of time between telling guys and

1304
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: the actual announcement as short as possible so that it

1305
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: doesn't leak out. Um. And so my wife did a

1306
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: great job kind of setting us up, and my kids

1307
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't know, and so when it happened,

1308
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 1: it caught me off guard. UM. And I'm glad it

1309
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 1: happened like that because I think if they would have

1310
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: done it in the old style where they bring you

1311
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, they put you in a hotel

1312
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: room and you're sitting there, Like, I felt comfortable with

1313
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 1: my resume. I know some guys talk about how nerve

1314
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,680
Speaker 1: racking it is and things like that, but like, I

1315
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 1: felt good about what I had done as an NFL

1316
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 1: player to be eligible for the Hall of Fame. You

1317
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 1: never know for sure, like what's going to happen. Um,

1318
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: But I think if if you would have said, hey,

1319
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: within the next four hours, they're gonna tell you, I

1320
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have been as excited or as emotional. But

1321
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: the fact that I was caught off guard. Walter Jones

1322
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: was standing at my door, and my kids were there

1323
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: and saw him first because they thought that their friends

1324
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: were at the door. And then they come running back

1325
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: into the kitchen where my wife and I were standing

1326
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: and my son tells me, Daddy, we made it, like

1327
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: and instantly it just knocked me off my feet emotionally

1328
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:37,560
Speaker 1: to know that, like my wildest dreams of playing football

1329
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 1: and getting into the NFL were never this great. And

1330
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: the fact that my idol told my son who told

1331
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: me the great news, just maybe it even better than

1332
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: I could have ever scripted. And I know that video

1333
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: the Browns tweeted out that I think your wife took

1334
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,600
Speaker 1: of and you can hear your son's excitement and made it.

1335
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: You made it. I mean, fans have just latched onto

1336
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: that so much. But for you, how cool was that

1337
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 1: to see your kids get that excited about that moment?

1338
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: That was really cool. I mean I think I've seen

1339
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:09,919
Speaker 1: it like a hundred times and I still get emotional.

1340
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 1: Um And I don't know, like anybody who's a parent,

1341
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: they understand, especially now that I'm retired and I spent

1342
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: so much time with him. It's like, you know, like

1343
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: for them to have emotion and excitement. Um makes it

1344
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 1: so much more special for me because you try to

1345
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 1: tell him stuff all day long and they don't listen

1346
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: to anything. And like you're like, hey, we're gonna go

1347
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: back to Cleveland and they're gonna announce Daddie and the

1348
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 1: Legends Club. But that's really cool, and they're like, yeah,

1349
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:39,679
Speaker 1: whatever did. And then I'm like, all right, i gotta

1350
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 1: find something that's cool. Hey, I'm on the Titan Games

1351
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: with the Rock you know, Mauy. You guys love that show.

1352
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, we don't care. And then all of

1353
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, like there was something to get excited about.

1354
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 1: I think that as a parent like kind of it

1355
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: made it a little bit overwhelming. Great stuff with Joe

1356
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,679
Speaker 1: and the Beat obviously they know him very well and

1357
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,560
Speaker 1: and he's very comfortable with them. That was that was

1358
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 1: really cool. Yeah, some new things coming out there, you

1359
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: know from talking about the behind the scenes stuff in

1360
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 1: the in the days right after everything went down, I mean,

1361
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: it's been a whirlwind. You could tell he was still

1362
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: you still trying to catch up on some sleep here. Yeah,

1363
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 1: I think you know, and they do it. They did it.

1364
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: So this is the first time we thought about it,

1365
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,639
Speaker 1: but it was you know they used to do. They

1366
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 1: gain all the guys who were up, and they bring

1367
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: him to a hotel room and they go knock on

1368
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 1: the doors, you know Dave Baker walk and walk around

1369
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 1: and to go to all the doors and that has

1370
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: Is this the second year. I didn't pay attention last

1371
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 1: year because the HAFF wasn't involved, So I didn't pay

1372
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: attention to the knocks like I didn't. I don't know,

1373
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: Like did Pete Manning go in? Well that was the coat.

1374
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,719
Speaker 1: Remember Manny was in the double class because they didn't

1375
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: do it because of COVID, So he went in one

1376
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 1: and twenty went in together. Um did he have Dave

1377
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 1: Baker do it? So they were he was at the stadium,

1378
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 1: he was at the Broncos this. Yeah. So I think

1379
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: the thing that's most shocking to me is how many

1380
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 1: people were in the no on who got in and

1381
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: who didn't and nothing ever got leaked up. Yeah, it's

1382
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 1: a pretty stellar job by everyone. They didn't get linked

1383
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: because it's been it had been known for a while,

1384
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: but you know a couple of weeks at least since

1385
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: since it all happened. Um, and knowing Joe. I mean

1386
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: for him to get that news at his home would

1387
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 1: be where he would want to get that news. Yeah,

1388
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 1: so that's I mean, that's and by the way, like

1389
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 1: a couple of our video guys, you know, we're talking,

1390
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 1: and they had gotten some photos and videos from from

1391
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: family that were at the house. Like it wasn't it

1392
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: became a big family party that Friday night when he

1393
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 1: found out, So like it wasn't just like him and

1394
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: his wife and like number one, his kids kept it quiet.

1395
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 1: It's amazing like that there there was a party at

1396
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: the Joe Thomas household that night and everybody kept it quiet.

1397
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,719
Speaker 1: And then it just truly amazing all the way around.

1398
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,560
Speaker 1: He um. One other thing I was gonna I was

1399
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 1: gonna mention the Walter Jones stuff is really cool. Walter

1400
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 1: played at Florida State and I remember meeting him on

1401
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 1: several occasions when he would come back for stuff and

1402
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: just so revered and the way that Joe revered him.

1403
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 1: I thought was really cool that that group with O Pace,

1404
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 1: who's you know a Buckeye, you know Sandusky and all

1405
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: of that, Uh, Anthony Munos, who's a Bengals legend. I mean,

1406
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ties in there that that make

1407
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 1: it all pretty special. I thought it was interesting that

1408
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: he said, once you're in, you get looked at much

1409
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: differently from the people that are already in. Oh my gosh,

1410
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can compare the Heisman fraternity

1411
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:44,680
Speaker 1: to it, Well, it's different because the Heisman, you know,

1412
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 1: the Heisman. We look back on some of the people

1413
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 1: who have won the Heisman almost dubious, like, really, how

1414
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: do they win it? There's none of that. There's none

1415
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 1: of that in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Like

1416
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,519
Speaker 1: the process is so locked up, but so uttoned up.

1417
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 1: The best of the best get in. Uh, it matters

1418
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 1: even more the first ballot guys like to go in

1419
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: on the first ballot. That's a big deal, like Chris

1420
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: Carter and going to the first ballot, Like it's hard

1421
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: to be a first ballot guy and to be a

1422
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: lock stock lock. I'm walking in on the first time.

1423
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm up. That's that's really cool. It's really cool stuff

1424
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 1: for one of the one of the best guys to um.

1425
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,200

01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 1: buddy Cadre Ishmael of course, super Bowl Champion with the Ravens,

1441
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: NFL antilists and co hosts of Purple Pregame postgame show

1442
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 1: on w jay Z TV in Baltimore. Cadre, thanks for

1443
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 1: taking the time. Let's just start here. As you were

1444
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 1: watching the Super Bowl and you saw the way that

1445
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 1: those two teams went about their business as you look

1446
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: at that through Ravens colored glasses? What jumped out in

1447
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: your mind in terms of keeping pace or trying to

1448
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: topple Kansas City. So I think the first thing that

1449
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 1: came to my mind was the fact that the offense

1450
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:42,759
Speaker 1: under Nick Sirianni and obviously strict in who no longer

1451
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 1: is there, but the offense was one where man If

1452
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: Lamar could do that. Holy Mother of pro we got

1453
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:54,599
Speaker 1: us of the chance, got a super Bowl. And I

1454
01:15:54,640 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 1: think also from a Patrick Mahomes slash see Chiuse aspect

1455
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: of things, it was more along the lines of, Wow,

1456
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 1: look at the creativity of getting everyone involved, and it

1457
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 1: makes it hard for the defense to defend against you. Yeah,

1458
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's quarterbacking, it's weapons, it's scheme, it's

1459
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: all of it. You gotta score. You better have a

1460
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: team that can score thirty five, right? I mean that

1461
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,680
Speaker 1: feels like where we're headed, especially in the a f C,

1462
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: which is such a snake bit because it's not just them,

1463
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: it's Cincinnati, it's Buffalo. Who knows what happens in Miami?

1464
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: The Chargers are coming the a f C. I don't

1465
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 1: know that it's ever been more difficult from a from

1466
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: an offensive standpoint, just to keep pace, I we feel

1467
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 1: it over here, like I used to, we gotta go

1468
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: get some defensive linement, and the heck with that we

1469
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 1: gotta get we're gonna get weapons for Deshaun Watson. That

1470
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: that's that's where we're at. I think if you look

1471
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 1: at the landscape of the league, it's it's been trending

1472
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 1: this way for such a long time where it's so

1473
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 1: quarterback friendly, and I think that's where you know, a

1474
01:16:56,120 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 1: guy like Tom Brady, who is movement brilliant, is at on,

1475
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: but you recognize this as a collision sport and that's

1476
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 1: where for him he's like, yeah, it's favorite, in my

1477
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 1: my favorite to not have to worry about those violent collisions. Therefore,

1478
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep on playing. I think from a coordinator standpoint.

1479
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 1: From a receiver standpoint, you know, I'm not worried about

1480
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 1: being rerouted. Uh. The whole idea of being tough going

1481
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: over the middle, you know that that's I don't even

1482
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:27,720
Speaker 1: know what that is now. I mean, you could do

1483
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 1: whatever you want to do going across the middle. Of

1484
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 1: going across you know, it's plays to the outside slot

1485
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: receivers or seemingly more coveted than outside receivers, where it

1486
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:37,920
Speaker 1: used to be the other way around. And you know,

1487
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: on and on and on. So, yes, you like to

1488
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: keep pace. You certainly need the quarterback, but you also

1489
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:46,640
Speaker 1: need to scheme to compliment the quarterback and the pieces.

1490
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: Not necessarily super superstar pieces, although it helps, but those

1491
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: complimentary pieces, when their names are called, they're able to produce.

1492
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: So when you guys announced over there the Todd Monkin higher,

1493
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 1: I just went, oh no, not Todd. I mean we

1494
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,600
Speaker 1: we had him here, we had him here. Um, I

1495
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: saw what he did in Georgia the last few years. Cadre,

1496
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,640
Speaker 1: He's he's he's brilliant man. He is um everything that

1497
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 1: you want, ada Lamar, I think he'll provide that. What

1498
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: what how's it being received over there? What do you

1499
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 1: know of Todd? What is how does the fit with

1500
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: the pieces? What else needs to be added to this? Yeah?

1501
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:33,680
Speaker 1: You know, I think from the monk and aspect of things,

1502
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 1: the variety, the the way in which you know, you

1503
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: look at his professional resume and obviously his collegiate resume,

1504
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 1: it's it's it's proven. There is a a swagger to

1505
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 1: the way he Uh, sees his offense and and sees

1506
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:51,600
Speaker 1: how it's it's run. Um, you know that's what you

1507
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:54,200
Speaker 1: know for example made uh and you read and you

1508
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 1: read it's it's his his ability to get the most

1509
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: out of his players. And then somebody said superstars, whether

1510
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:06,920
Speaker 1: it be Mahomes or Alex Smith or Donovan McNabb, he's

1511
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: gonna get the most out of his players. Um. I

1512
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: think that that's what I see with with Monkin. And

1513
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: I think also when you look at uh the pieces, Well,

1514
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 1: here comes Eric to Costa. He's fresh off of coming

1515
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 1: back from the principal's office, which is down in Florida.

1516
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 1: Steve A. Shotti. You know, listen, I'm gonna make sure

1517
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 1: all y'all coming to my house and we're gonna all

1518
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 1: chop this thing up and look and see what's moving

1519
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: forward in the proper way. And all the hard questions

1520
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 1: are gonna be asking, I'll better have answers. So Eric Cossa,

1521
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure went down there, uh figured out what he

1522
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: needed to do and what he's given permission to spend.

1523
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:51,759
Speaker 1: One on Elephant Room, Lamar Jackson, and then number two

1524
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: you know, who are the potential either a free agents

1525
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 1: and or what are the collegiate players that they can

1526
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: potentially we look at too to put into play, so

1527
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 1: Monkey can have some some chest pieces to to operate with.

1528
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,719
Speaker 1: You mentioned the elephant in the room. We've it's fourth

1529
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: question before we got to the Lamar question. Um, sometimes

1530
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, there's this perception, you know sometimes that we have.

1531
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 1: But we're thirty thou fet right, we don't know what

1532
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: it's like. Boots on the ground, you are your boots

1533
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 1: on the ground. What is the relationship between Lamar between

1534
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 1: him and Harbaugh, him and DaCosta, him and ownership? How

1535
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 1: does he view the organization? Where are they? Well, the

1536
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,679
Speaker 1: boots on the ground, and then there is the boots

1537
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 1: at the table. So the boots on the ground, we

1538
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: can definitely say that, oh everything is all well and

1539
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 1: good and and and coombayya. But the boots at the table,

1540
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 1: that's the business side of things, and the business side

1541
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 1: of things from Lamar Jackson's aspect of it all, it's

1542
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:57,600
Speaker 1: it's it's outside the box thinking. He marched to the

1543
01:20:57,600 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 1: beat of his own drum. He doesn't have a representative

1544
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: mother and him and the help of the Players Association,

1545
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 1: they're they're keeping everything close to the vest um. There

1546
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: are no you know, our people or his people, or

1547
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 1: their source or this source. I mean, as a matter

1548
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 1: of fact, it's so outside the box and everyone is

1549
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 1: trying to break the story that it's comical to some

1550
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:24,440
Speaker 1: of us here locally because there are these national reporters

1551
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: that are used to being fed stuff by agents because

1552
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,759
Speaker 1: they're not getting any information. All you're here is like, well,

1553
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, Lamar is a perfect candidate to be traded

1554
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 1: to Miami. Hey, hey, hey, you know what it will happen.

1555
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: Lamar can go down not only to Atlanta. Atlanta has

1556
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: to pis Oh my god, that would be awesome. Altocosta

1557
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 1: needs to get it done. Hey, here's some of the

1558
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 1: guarantees that we know about Lamar Jackson. But the reality

1559
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: of it is, you don't know Jack Diddley do do

1560
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 1: So sit back, relax, just like the rest of us,

1561
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 1: where our boots are underground. We know that this is

1562
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: a situation with Lamar. Sure he was a little bit

1563
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 1: cryptic when it came to some of his social media,

1564
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 1: but you know, all the young dudes are They all

1565
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: have that way of speaking through their social media in

1566
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 1: a roundabout way. So it seems like things are going positive.

1567
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 1: It seems like the Ravens are going to be heading

1568
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 1: for what is going to be a UM franchise tagging

1569
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: and and we'll take it from there. Um. That's that's

1570
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: my boots on the ground and glass half full well

1571
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean you listen to the some of

1572
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 1: the Hardbough comments and and he and unless I misread,

1573
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: he was in they consulted him on the Todd Monkin

1574
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: higher and so he's he does have some some I

1575
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: think you bring up a great point though, like without

1576
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,760
Speaker 1: the agent in the middle of it, it's the it's

1577
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 1: the lack of information that I think people run them

1578
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 1: up with, right, I mean, I think you nailed it

1579
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 1: on that front, because no one has any information because

1580
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: there isn't anybody in the middle. It's and sometimes that

1581
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:03,760
Speaker 1: can lead to feelings. Do I imagine codre Well, I think,

1582
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, professionally speaking, it's hard feelings for the insiders

1583
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: because the insiders are you know, that's their job, that's

1584
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: their lifeblood, and now all of a sudden it's been

1585
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 1: taken away from them, and so you really don't know.

1586
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: Now there's some other outliers that are gonna come into

1587
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: play that it will be very interesting. The likes of

1588
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:28,560
Speaker 1: a A. Jalen Hurts, the the you know, Herbert, the

1589
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: the Boroughs of the World, all those guys. You know,

1590
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 1: there's some step quarterbacks too, and they're gonna be one

1591
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 1: piece of the pie of that salary cap that just

1592
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: went up for their respective teams. And so you gotta

1593
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 1: figure out if you're an owner, you know, do I

1594
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: have that money to put it in the scrow and

1595
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: make it happen? And and then how is my team

1596
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: gonna look? Those are all questions. But when it comes

1597
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 1: back over to Lamar Jackson, I mean, that's further leverage

1598
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: seeing as those those names outside of Jalen Hurts, those

1599
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 1: other names that necessarily deliver on what they were as

1600
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 1: far as getting their teams to the ultimate, which is

1601
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: the Suitabowl. Their franchise quarterbacks, no question about it. Joe Burrows, certainly,

1602
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: he you know, came up short. Dylan has come up short.

1603
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 1: But we know for a certainty that the Eagles are

1604
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: through Jaylor Hurts. The biggest are through Joe Ball. And yeah,

1605
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: they got agents are representatives. So we're going to hear

1606
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: some of the things coming out of those camps. But

1607
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 1: Lamont Jackson. You know, it's a void, and I think

1608
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,599
Speaker 1: people are trying to fill that void with whatever they

1609
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: can the rest of the roster. Marcus Peters a free agent, Um,

1610
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 1: how much will they What chance do you have of

1611
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: him coming back? That they did the Roquan Smith deal already, uh,

1612
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 1: and then and then got him paid defensively. Where are

1613
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: the question marks as they as they head into this offseason. Yeah,

1614
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 1: the big thing again obviously is a salary chap, especially

1615
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 1: you know when it comes to franchise tag and you

1616
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,920
Speaker 1: know you need that that forty five plus million available. Um,

1617
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 1: they have what twenties some odd million available? So basically

1618
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:11,879
Speaker 1: what we're looking at is, are you going to for example,

1619
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 1: clay As Campbell, I think his cap is somewhere around

1620
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: nine million. Are you going to extend him and kind

1621
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: of lessen that blow for this year? What does it

1622
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,240
Speaker 1: look like for you know, some other guys that can

1623
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: possibly restructure uh their deals to help you know, the

1624
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters of the world. And and Marcus Peters gotta

1625
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:32,880
Speaker 1: played ball too, He's gotta want to, you know, come back,

1626
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 1: and and those are some hard questions to to be answered,

1627
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:41,799
Speaker 1: but I think, yeah, you're right, Um, I think Marcus

1628
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 1: Peters would, would you know? He fits He's he's a raven,

1629
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,599
Speaker 1: he plays like a raven. He's he's got that mindset. Um.

1630
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:50,639
Speaker 1: But then at the same time, there are some hard

1631
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,679
Speaker 1: decisions that are going to have to be made. Yeah,

1632
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a big offseason, and everybody in

1633
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: the a F season the same spot because we're looking

1634
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 1: up at that team in Kansas City and saying, how

1635
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: do we keep pace? How do we track them down?

01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 1: Great stuff? As always, Cadre, thanks for your time so

Speaker 1: esp and Cleveland. I didn't ask you what did you

1650
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,440
Speaker 1: think of the super Bowl? The whole performance, the commercials

1651
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 1: at half time, the game, all of it. Halftime I

1652
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:59,839
Speaker 1: was not not your type of music. You know, she's talented.

1653
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: I get it, and take nothing away. It's just not

1654
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 1: we're getting old problem here. I thought. I thought about,

1655
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 1: like last year super Bowl halftime, how do you top it?

1656
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 1: Last year was Snoop Dre? Yeah, Like yeah, but that's like,

1657
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: maybe the expectations are set at a ridiculous high level.

1658
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 1: For me. You were never going to beat Snoop and

1659
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: Dre and Eminem and fifty cent and Mary J. Blithe.

1660
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 1: That just was never in l a like, you're just

1661
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: not gonna get that. So like I didn't really. I

1662
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 1: guess I forgot how many hits she had, Like how

1663
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 1: many of her songs I was familiar with. There a

1664
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: ton of them. Um, And then I was unnerved by

1665
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: the fact that even with a cable with her pregnant,

1666
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:51,760
Speaker 1: that she was up that far in the air made

1667
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:53,439
Speaker 1: me nervous. You've seen the video of the person who

1668
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 1: kind of fell on their backside up there, and I

1669
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 1: guess they were tethered to like the people up there.

1670
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: The whole thing made me nervous, like standing on those

1671
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: things and at one point she's singing in that platforms moving.

1672
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm going this is nuts, man, Like, get off of

1673
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: that thing. Well, I just I'm always looking forward to

1674
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 1: the surprise music guest. Yeah, like somebody popping in, and

1675
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 1: she didn't do that. There was nothing. Well, she could

1676
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:17,320
Speaker 1: have had Drake or jay Z like she'd worked with

1677
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 1: both of them in the past, but I obviously decided

1678
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: against it. So I thought it was fine. It just

1679
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't woud Yeah, I thought it was long. I

1680
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 1: mean halftime was. I think I had it at like

1681
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: forty two minutes by the time they kicked off with

1682
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,439
Speaker 1: Andy Reid didn't let his guys, I'll bench you if

1683
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 1: you go watch. Yeah, they're having their uh, they're having

1684
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:42,360
Speaker 1: their parade in Kansas City right now. There are some

1685
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:45,760
Speaker 1: well looped up people. You're gonna get looped for that. Um.

1686
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 1: I think Apex Super Bowl Parade is probably always gonna

1687
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:51,760
Speaker 1: be Tampa Bay's on the boats with Brady slinging the

1688
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:55,520
Speaker 1: trophy from trophy to Gronk and all of that. Um,

1689
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: if we did it, would we follow the parade route

1690
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 1: of the calves or would you see you'd be in

1691
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 1: the winner so you couldn't necessarily have water involved. I

1692
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 1: was gonna say water would be pretty cool where you

1693
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,479
Speaker 1: could take it, like along the lake or uh down

1694
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:09,760
Speaker 1: the river, But I don't think so. I think it's

1695
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to be. And I'll tell you what, East Ninth.

1696
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:16,559
Speaker 1: That is a wind tunnel. I'm not sure that's I'm

1697
01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: not sure that's ideal. Maybe just pause it, maybe if if,

1698
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:22,040
Speaker 1: if we ever win it, maybe just do it like St.

1699
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:25,200
Speaker 1: Patty's Day and tie it into that perfect so it's

1700
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 1: all at once, get yourself another couple of weeks to

1701
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:31,200
Speaker 1: sort it out. Yeah, at least something that gives you

1702
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 1: a chance where maybe it's forty degrees. Yeah, I mean,

1703
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:38,000
Speaker 1: like today it would have been amazing. It's windy, breezy,

1704
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 1: but you know, this week has been very good. But

1705
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 1: typically right now we're twenty degrees and it's right. Yeah,

1706
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know, it's it looks like they're having

1707
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,240
Speaker 1: a heck of a time. I thought the commercials there

1708
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:51,160
Speaker 1: were a couple of good ones. Yeah, I think I

1709
01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:54,519
Speaker 1: think already. I think a lot of them were strong. Um,

1710
01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:58,280
Speaker 1: they leaned on nostalgia. Yeah. It here's how you know

1711
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 1: you're old when all of the mercials are geared towards

1712
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:03,760
Speaker 1: you because we have the money and so they're all

1713
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:08,320
Speaker 1: trying to pull it our hearts. Yeah, they had the

1714
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 1: dog one that I sobbed over, the one of the

1715
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 1: dog food one that I'm dying, I'm crying over because

1716
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:14,839
Speaker 1: we got Buddy Garretty running a muck at the homestead.

1717
01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:18,639
Speaker 1: So like that's that one was. But I thought by

1718
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 1: and large they were all pretty good. I think the

1719
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 1: most amazing thing was if you go back, I think

1720
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:28,679
Speaker 1: it was a year ago, it was the Crypto Bowl.

1721
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:34,000
Speaker 1: Every commercial was crypto. There wasn't uck commercial crypto, not one.

1722
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 1: And there also wasn't a Clydesdale. So I think that's

1723
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 1: the first time in forever that there wasn't a class

1724
01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 1: that goes back to the eighties where the Clydesdales were

1725
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 1: involved with Budweiser, and I wasn't even sure if there

1726
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 1: was a Budweiser ad. I believe there was light, there

1727
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:51,640
Speaker 1: was mic Ultra, and there was bud Light. But I

1728
01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 1: don't know if bud Light was the caddy shack, you know,

1729
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:59,840
Speaker 1: Michael of Ultra was the caddy. That's all Budweiser. But

1730
01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:02,080
Speaker 1: I yeah, I don't know. I don't know that there

1731
01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 1: was a Budweiser, a bud Heavy ad Oh, I don't

1732
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 1: know either. I don't know. There was not a bud Heavy.

1733
01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 1: There might have been a bud Light, but there was

1734
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:14,000
Speaker 1: not a Budweiser. And that's you know, that's the frogs

1735
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: and all that. That's all bud White. Like, the game

1736
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:20,479
Speaker 1: was great. I think going back, I saw a tweet

1737
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 1: from Kim Kaid radio personality, National radio personality, and he

1738
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 1: said it best. He's like stopped talking about the call

1739
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:30,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the game that determined it. He said,

1740
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 1: if Philly just does what they did in the first

1741
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:36,680
Speaker 1: half and continues to run the ball and continues to

1742
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:38,640
Speaker 1: do what they were doing in the first half offensively,

1743
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 1: they would have won the game. They got away from

1744
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: what they Kansas City was great. Themes was unbelievable yet

1745
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:48,000
Speaker 1: and as good as My Homes was, that defense in

1746
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:51,479
Speaker 1: the second half was ridiculous. They did it was good,

1747
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 1: all right, enjoy your first Friday, k Maybe maybe Nathan

1748
01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:58,479
Speaker 1: will be back tomorrow. Maybe it's done golfing. It's gonna rain,

1749
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's will be difficult. The next level is coming up next.
