I don't care that the 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: Jets aren't getting Dante More. I don't care't care that 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: they're not getting. 23 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 4: Are you doing a parenthetic call this year? 24 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: I you know what you're gonna suck again, and you're 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: gonna be waiting for him in twenty seven. 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: No, no waiting for Archer Manning in twenty seven. Well 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: you got you gotta move up that last spot. Yeah, 28 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 1: that's all right, that's all right. Hey, listen, I said 29 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: from the beginning, Okay, I said for the beginning, I'm 30 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: not that high in this quarterback class. Dante Moore is 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: a risk. He could be great, he might not be. 32 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: But in the end, whatever the Jets do is gonna 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: be wrong your quarterback. So if they're not picking a quarterback, okay, 34 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: I am, I am. I absolutely am fine with him 35 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: not getting in the draft and Jets potentially ruining their future. Look, 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: maybe he's great, but he's a risk. And obviously he 37 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: says I gotta go back to college. All right. Maybe 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: self confidence isn't there that he's ready for the NFL. 39 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: But run, I'll tell you right, I do not care 40 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: that he went back to Oregon and the Jets aren't 41 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: going to get him. I'm actually relieved that they can 42 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: go and do something else with the pick. They can, 43 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, trade out at number two to somebody who 44 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: wants to move up. You know, they can do any 45 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: of those things, I am okay with them not getting 46 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: him all. My disagreement with Dante Moore's decision has to 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: do with him and his future and listening to the 48 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: to the wrong people who are just costing him, you know, 49 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: somewhere upwards of forty million dollars. But as far as 50 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: the Jets, not that, I am okay because I already 51 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: know who the Jets quarterback is gonna be next year. 52 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: I don't know he's gonna be playing this weekend. Actually, 53 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: actually this weekend, or is he in the booth? Actually, 54 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: if he plays this weekend, his team is might be 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: in a little bit of trouble. But then the quarterback 56 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: next year is it's gonna be Matt Jones. It's good 57 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: to be mac. He still has a year left on 58 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: his deal. But I really thought you were gonna tell 59 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: me it was Kirk Cousins agent or come on, man, 60 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: you can't do that now. You can go back to 61 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: that in New York. You don't go back to that 62 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: guy now. A couple of couple of things rant here. 63 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: You know you started when you said the word wrong. 64 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: It was like you were watching all in the family 65 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: all day. 66 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 2: He's wrong. 67 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 4: I mean, I was just showing you. 68 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: It's a celebration of Sandford's son and their initial foray 69 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: into the television universe today. But wrong, Yeah, more, there's 70 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: there's a lot we'll get into it in terms of 71 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: how many starts or whatever else. But for the Jets, yeah, 72 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: I mean, you get the opportunity to push that can 73 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 3: and kick that can down the road. 74 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 5: Uh. 75 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: If you do go to trade for Mac Jones, be 76 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: careful because you'll give up all discernible assets to get him, 77 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 1: you know, Jets. All right, now, let me just say 78 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: this my favorite all outside of Archie the you know, 79 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: coming up with the different ways to kill himself while 80 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: Edith is telling a story, like my favorite all in 81 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: the family joke was when Archie and and and Mike 82 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: rest in peace rob Ryder when they were arguing over 83 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: Harvey Haddocks. Remember with the big MLB games growing up, 84 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: we heard about this, and he had a perfect game 85 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: into the twelfth inning and he wound up losing it, 86 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 1: and and he lost the game. He got a home run, 87 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: He had a perfect game into the twelfth inning of 88 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: the game. He lost it, right, So they were arguing 89 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: that Haddocks had and Archie Bunker says he had a 90 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: perfect game. He had a perfect Mike says, no, he 91 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: didn't know he did to give a home run in 92 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: the twelfth and they were arguing over this, and and 93 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: Mike finds the newspaper and sees his here, I found 94 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: a copy of the newspaper from you know, however many 95 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: years ago it was. He goes here, Harvey Haddocks loses 96 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: perfect game and twelfth inning, and he goes, I just 97 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: won the bet, meat head, Because if he didn't have 98 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: a perfect game, how did he lose? It? Was arguing 99 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: without logic to somebody, how how did he have it? 100 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: How could he lose it if he didn't have it 101 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,559 Speaker 1: to begin with? Right, Like that's our that's some great writing. 102 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: But no, look but but mac Jone's worrying it to 103 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 1: Dante more is that? Look? Yes, in theory, the forty 104 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: nine ers keeping Matt Jones for one more yet you know, 105 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: like seven million dollars would be the smart thing. But 106 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: number one, generally, teams don't keep a guy from getting 107 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: a starting job as long as they can get good 108 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: value for him in a trade. And they will get 109 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: great value from mac Jones because the quarterback crop. Now 110 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: this offseason is not gonna be great. The Jets don't 111 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: want to go spend all kinds of money to go 112 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: to acquire Kyler Murray or to a tongue of Iloa 113 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: for for a season until they get their next guy. 114 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: But Mac Jones would be great a bidding war. He'll 115 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: get at least a fourth round pick, which if you're 116 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, great maybe because more Pete teams rich, 117 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: maybe you can get a third for mac Jones as 118 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: well as he's played now this year. But really, the 119 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers are in a it's a sticky spot 120 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: because yeah, I'm old enough to remember when brock Purty 121 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: was out and mac Jones was playing just as well 122 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: as brock Purty was. The Niners don't want to be 123 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: any part of a controversy, even though Mac, even though 124 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: brock Purty has shown that he will get dinged up. 125 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: They don't want needy part of a quarterback controversy. And 126 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: brock Purty's distinguish himself the last few weeks since he'd 127 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: come back, had a great game last week, So yeah, 128 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: I think the Niners might be a little bit more 129 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: motivated to move on for mac Jones. And clearly Kyle 130 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: Shanhannis Shon, whoever he brings in, Hey, I can fix 131 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: and they can be a quarterback. So yeah, if they 132 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: can get a fourth or third round pick and they 133 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: move on from any potential mess they would have with 134 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: Brock Perdy if he gets hurt, Mac Jones, I think 135 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: they would do it. Yeah, I think we want to 136 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: stay to the Patriots. You know he wants to stick 137 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: into the Patriots. Yeah. 138 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 3: I think there's a bigger divide between Purdy and Jones 139 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: than you do. But the idea that going into next year, 140 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: given the fact that Perdy has missed time due to 141 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 3: injury several years in a row, you do have a 142 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: lot of needs. Even though you're still playing this weekend 143 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 3: and you're actually getting potentially some of these guys back. Yeah, 144 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: I don't know if Fred Warner is at sixty percent 145 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: or eighty percent or what his power bar is in 146 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 3: the old video game system, but his presence would be 147 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 3: a mits rinky peersaw all these guys back at practice. 148 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 3: That's great, But just the idea that you are aging out, 149 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: you do have a lot of issues. You're not gonna 150 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 3: have George Kittle uh for the foreseeable future, if he 151 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 3: comes back in this next year at all. Uh And 152 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: we've seen with Shanahan the ability to say I can 153 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: get another guy into my system and we can keep 154 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: the line moving. Right as long as twenty three's out there, 155 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: you got a puncher's chance. 156 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: Right. 157 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 3: But you go into the marketplace and there's such a 158 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: divide in terms of who's got a quarterback and the 159 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: uh what twenty five teams that don't that you're gonna 160 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 3: have a market for Mac Jones and Dante Moore opting 161 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: to go back to school certainly creates a bigger void. 162 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: Now, Dante Moore, Oregon quarterback who decided to go back 163 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: to school, A nice job, Dylan Royola getting that do 164 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: may maybe you want hit the portal again? Get paid? 165 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: But he goes back to college and this is why 166 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: he made the wrong decis. I don't know who he 167 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: was listening to. I don't know what what what pushed 168 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: it one way or the other. Maybe it was well 169 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: that might have helped him. A couple of those players 170 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: from that game against Indiana that really look terrible the 171 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: Jets the second Dante Moore would have gone second. Now 172 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: I say you two the way, are we sure that 173 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: Dante Moore was gonna get the Jets were gonna pick them. 174 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: Are we sure that they were gonna pick second or 175 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: somebody else was gonna say, Hey, there's a lot of 176 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: time between now and the draft. Certainly the Jets, if 177 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: I know, they were sold on Mendoza because they went 178 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: to see Mendoza one hundred times this year. It's like 179 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: a traveler. It's like a dead show, you know, traveling 180 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: to go see Feranana Mendoza every week. But maybe and 181 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: really long time ago, Hey, guess what so and so 182 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: wants to trade up to two and the Jets needing 183 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: all sorts of of of stuff to fill their roster. 184 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: Ound get hey, we'll take draft picks. Oh wait a minute, 185 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: So I could be going someplace else at number two. 186 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is that is two things. Number One, 187 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: every decision you take, whether you stay in college go 188 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: to the NFL, carries risk. Am I going to the 189 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: right team? Am I not going to the right team? 190 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: It's a risk just because it's not the Jets. Do 191 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: you think the Cardinals are better? You think that, You 192 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: think all these other teams that are picking at the 193 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: top of the draft. You think the Browns are to 194 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: be better. I think that's a better fit for you. 195 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: I mean next year, because here's who's going you think 196 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: those are better fits. Every decision carries risk, right, and 197 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: I'll tell it to you this way. I'll give it 198 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: to you this way, and then you show how this 199 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: is a decision that doesn't make sense, whether you do 200 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: football for living or anything else. Let's say you, Mike Harmon, 201 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: are the manager of a grocery store.

And uh, 356 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: by that, I mean that's your dog. No no, no, no, well, okay, 357 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: that that's. 358 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 3: The Knicks just started.

Just heard that for the 369 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: first time. It said what what Miami and Indiana? Uh, 370 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: the Ohio State season just gets more and more disastrous 371 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: with every passing day, because today linebacker Sonny Styles declared 372 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: for the NFL Draft, which we thought was gonna happen. 373 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so now you have Sunny Styles, Rvel Reese, 374 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: who may wind up going number two overall. Now, right, 375 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: he might be the he's the favorite to go number 376 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: two because hey, if he's getting Micah Parsons comparisons. Okay, 377 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm okay with the Jets picking a defensive guy because 378 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: they do okay with those the quarterbacks, they're always wrong, 379 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: But I'm okay with that. But you have him, You 380 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: have Caleb Downs, who I told you I would take 381 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: as the number one non quarterback pick. This guy's like 382 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: drafting Rod Woodson. You have Carnel Tate, right, and you 383 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: got Caden McDonald. All five of these Ohio State stars 384 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: are projected to go in the top twenty. Right, They're 385 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: all in mel kiper Junior's top fifteen overall draft selections. Right, 386 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: you have five guys that you are gonna see drafted 387 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: in the top fifteen to twenty. Let's just be in 388 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: top twenty. And you still lost your couldn't win the 389 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: Big Ten and lost your first playoff game this season 390 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: for Ohio State. So you're calling for fired, is well, 391 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: it's not because that's really where I'm the dots. You know, 392 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: he won the national title a year ago, and that's okay. 393 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: I'll give you a year Mulligan for winning. But when 394 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: you come back, like I thought last year for Michigan 395 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: was a disaster coming off the national title when they 396 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: had what four guys taken the top twenty five and 397 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: they just didn't get a quarterback and so they gave 398 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: away that year. This is even worse. Right, this is 399 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: you were by far and away the best team in 400 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: the country, and look at this NFL talent again. You're 401 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: gonna have five names selected in the top twenty, which 402 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: is gonna be great for recruiting. Ryan Day's gonna be 403 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: calling guys and hey, look at this. Five of your 404 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: starters selected a first round of the draft, and you 405 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: couldn't even win the Big Ten. That is, that is 406 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: an absolute disase. No one had a more disastrous season 407 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: in college football than Ohio State. 408 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know those others that I mean, Marcus Freeman 409 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: had to have a press conference to say, I'm not leaving. 410 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: Well, don't lose. You don't lose your first two games, 411 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: and you'll you know, you'll got like that. 412 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: That was the savor of Oh, at least he's not 413 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 3: leaving more disastrous that. 414 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 4: There's other seventeen guys.

Take a listen, because boy, do we got 494 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: something for you. 495 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 5: You know, Mike indicated that he did not anticipate coaching 496 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 5: at least, you know, in the near future. I think 497 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 5: he wants to spend time with his family and do 498 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 5: some of the kinds of things he hasn't been able 499 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 5: to do for the last you know, many many years. 500 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,719 Speaker 5: And so you know, if if something like that comes up, 501 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 5: we'll deal with it when it comes up. But right now, 502 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 5: that doesn't seem to be on his radar. 503 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 4: Doesn't he sound a bit like Aaron Rodgers, doesn't not? 504 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: Rooney said, play the beginning of that again, tysher a 505 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit of Aaron Rodgers. Good. 506 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 5: You know, Mike indicated that he did not anticipate coaching 507 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 5: at least you know, in the near future. 508 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: I think he wants So maybe a little AI happened, 509 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: maybe like it was Art Rudy, but it was Aaron 510 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,719 Speaker 1: Rodgers providing the voice. It's pretty emotional. Honestly, it's been 511 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: a great year. So but you want a big hot take, Okay, 512 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: what it now? And Rooney went on to talk about 513 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: how it surprised him. We talked about running it back. 514 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: This is Mike's decision, and he doesn't seem to me 515 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: like he wants to coach in the foreseeable future. Obviously, 516 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: you know things will change in a year. However, let 517 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: me throw this out there. What if he's done? What 518 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: if he's done coaching? Right, Because in theory, Bill Kauer 519 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: was gonna do the same thing coach of the Steelers. 520 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: I'm walking away, gonna do TV for a little bit, 521 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: then get back on an NFL sideline. He was young enough, Okay, 522 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: I know the big thing's gonna open up for me him. 523 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: Do what's Bill Cowerd doing? Still on television? All right? 524 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: And millennials don't even know who he is other than 525 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: he's a guy on TV, right, Mike Tomlin coming off 526 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: of nineteen years as an NFL head coach. And we've 527 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: seen it before where guys who have disdain for the 528 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: media suddenly love the media. I love the media. He's 529 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: gonna show up, go on TV, make tons of money, 530 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: very sought after, right. Maybe it's Fox at next to 531 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: Jay Glazer. Maybe it's something else. And do you really 532 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: think he's not gonna sit back and go boy, this 533 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: is a pretty good paycheck and I can have time 534 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: for myself, my family, whatever I want to do, still 535 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: be a big guy in the league, not have to 536 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: worry about dealing with egos and quarterbacks and everything else. 537 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: And hey, I kind of like this for a little 538 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: bit here. Remember John Gruden was the same way, right, 539 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: He's only gonna be there for a year, John Gruden 540 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: year after year head coach, head coach. Because Mike Tomlin, 541 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure has an idea of what he wants his 542 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: next job to be, but you're not guaranteed that job 543 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: is gonna open up. Maybe he wants the next job 544 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: to be forty nine Ers head coach. Well, guess what, 545 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: that's it opened up anytime soon. Maybe he wants to 546 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: go be the head coach of the Patriots, Well that's 547 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: it opened up. I'm just throwing this out there that 548 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: every year are you are beholden to the jobs that 549 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: are open. And Tomlin may have an idea. I don't 550 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 1: think he's walking away from saying I'm done coaching. But 551 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: as time goes on and your life gets a little 552 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: cushier in the studio, guys who retire young, hey, I 553 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: kind of like this. The job I really want never 554 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: opened up for me. So, yeah, I am more than 555 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: happy doing this. We've seen it so many times with guys. Right, 556 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: we said, anybody go into the booth becoming a big person. Hey, 557 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: guess what, I kind of like this, and I'm staying 558 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure right now, Tomlin has the idea of I'm 559 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: gonna take some time away. I'm not gonna rush back 560 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: into it. I want my want to pick my own situation. 561 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: I'll do TV. But he's gonna do TV. He's gonna 562 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: love it. He's gonna see that. You know, like as 563 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: Jay Glazer, you're involved in every facet of the league 564 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: and you're talking to coaches and players and everything else, 565 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: and boy, this is fun. I have to worry about 566 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: a weekly test that could wind up seeing me get hired, fired, 567 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: whatever it's going to be. Because he knows wherever he goes, 568 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: he's not gonna have the same cachet that he had 569 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: with the Steelers for nineteen years. They keep coaches, right, 570 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: We talked about this, So what if Mike Tomlin has 571 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: done What if we've seen him for the last time 572 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: and he starts to really enjoy that other life, and 573 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: maybe he's like Bill Kauer and we just don't see 574 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: him on the sidewine. 575 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 3: So I've wondered all along, right nineteen years here a 576 00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 3: lot of speculation whether he was tiring of hearing the 577 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 3: fire Mike Tomlin. Chance you got three or four years 578 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 3: of that, the silliness that that we have in pervasiveness 579 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 3: fan bases and media and the clamoring for it. When 580 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 3: it comes down to the way that job went, they 581 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 3: never bottomed out whether that was his choice, whether that 582 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 3: was an organizational thing. 583 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: You never got a full reset. 584 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 3: And you and I were talking about it and talking 585 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 3: with Ben a little last night, Like you go through 586 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 3: all these years of those rosters, weren't very good years, 587 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 3: and yet they were still scrauted. How many times did 588 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 3: you come into the year going, this is the year 589 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: that it's gonna end, right, the street's gonna end, and 590 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 3: then lo and behold, there they were at the end, 591 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: either fighting for a playoff spot or at least doing 592 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 3: the plus five hundred. There's very few organizations that you 593 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 3: look at to where you have stability, not just the hey, 594 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 3: you can have a couple of down years not get fired, 595 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 3: but just in general that it's not always you know, 596 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 3: ratcheted up to this defcon level of chaos in the 597 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 3: local media, in the newspapers, fan bases where everything is angsty, right, 598 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 3: it's constant, you know, the Kansas City's one place that 599 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 3: might have stability. San Francisco eventually maybe right, every once 600 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 3: in a while there's some whispers with Shanahan. But now 601 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 3: that they've won, in spite of all the walking wounded, 602 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 3: that probably gets kicked down the curve for a while. 603 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 3: But there's just very few organizations where you point to stability. 604 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 3: He had one of those. So if legitimately it's one 605 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 3: hundred percent he walked away of his own accord, he 606 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 3: might be walking the earth like Cana and Kung Fu 607 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 3: show up with Jay Glazer, Remember Jimmy Johnson did that yep, right, 608 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden he had his yacht. 609 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 3: He'd loved going fishing, yep. And then he'd come back 610 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 3: and he'd fly in and he'd be down at the 611 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 3: Avenue of the Americas. You'd run into him at the 612 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 3: hotel there, and he talked about how great it was 613 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 3: because he'd come in, he'd go to work with the guys, 614 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 3: with his family, as Jay's told us all these years, 615 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 3: and then he flies out after and guess what, he's 616 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 3: back on that. 617 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 4: Damn boat on Monday morning, ready for the next charter. 618 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 619 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's a life that becomes very difficult 620 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 4: to say.

He's the only player to have a 747 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: hit in two except for two teams in one day. 748 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 3: Second time, we can get the Expos into a larger 749 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 3: discussion in the last week because you saw they trolled 750 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 3: the about their trademarks and everything. 751 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: That I gotta explain to millenniums with the Montreal Expos.

They are looking 759 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: for fielding offers for him. And as he said today 760 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: when he was asked about the trade rumors, John Moran said, 761 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: I just got to live with it. 762 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 5: Now. 763 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 1: They're hoping he's gonna play in the big international trip 764 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: coming up. It's unsure. Uh, but John Morant potentially is 765 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: on the trade block. And when I saw today in 766 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: the reports, Hey, numerous teams have reached out about John Morant. 767 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 4: Have they really like, are you doing work? 768 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: Are you helping out the Grizzlies or agent to have 769 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: teams really reached out for Jo Moran because Rick Bucker 770 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: joined us last week and said, there are crickets for 771 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 1: John Moran. There's no you talk about because we talked 772 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: Trey Young. Trade was last week. There was limited interests 773 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: in Trey Young. There are crickets for John Moran. 774 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, he dropped that in the middle of talking about 775 00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 4: Trey Young, right, all of. 776 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: A sudden, that's it, crickets him. And yeah, because you 777 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 1: know what, I can't trade for John Morant. I mean 778 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: he's got he's under contracts the next couple of years. Okay, 779 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: that's fine, But this is a guy that has proven 780 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: over the course of his career that he just doesn't 781 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 1: get it right. Like he's he's a live wire who 782 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: continues to make bad decisions. And now it's a tough 783 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: time staying healthy. Right, how many chances warnings was he given? Dude, 784 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: don't you know you got all stuff going on with 785 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: guns and fights and suspensions and multiple suspensions. Show everybody 786 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: that you get it and he never has. Don't make 787 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: the machine gun motion after a hoop because the NBA 788 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,919 Speaker 1: doesn't like that. What did he do the next day? 789 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: I made the machine gun like he doesn't get it, 790 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 1: and so I'm not gonna give up. I don't care 791 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: how talented he is. I'm not gonna give up anything 792 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,959 Speaker 1: for him because I don't know how long he's gonna 793 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: be in the league. If I said to you right now, 794 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:50,919 Speaker 1: is he gonna be in the league when he's thirty 795 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: years old? I don't know that I would take that bet. 796 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: If you said, over under thirty years old, is John 797 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: Moran still in the NBA, I would say yeah. I 798 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: don't know, because the guy has proven time and again 799 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: to show that he doesn't get it. And now when 800 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 1: you compound that with hisj with his injury situation, Now, 801 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: are you gonna go You're gonna be the one that 802 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: goes and gets the best John Morant? I don't think so. 803 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: I don't know any team that is calling saying, yeah, 804 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: we'd love to go crazy for John Moran. I don't 805 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: know any team that's saying. 806 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,479 Speaker 3: That, Yeah, you look at a guy who's still owed 807 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 3: well in excess of one hundred million dollars over the 808 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 3: next several years. His scoring average has gone down four 809 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 3: straight seasons. This year, he is shooting forty percent, down 810 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 3: six percent from his career average six percent. And it's 811 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 3: not like he's a chucker. This is a guy that 812 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 3: usually works around the rim, So the fact that he's 813 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 3: shooting forty percent is a whole other problem. He's played 814 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 3: in eighteen games of their thirty nine. Just keep checking boxes. 815 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 3: There's video of him beefing with teammates time and time 816 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 3: again in practices, on the sidelines, in the Hoddel you 817 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 3: name it. All of those things. Add the history that 818 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 3: he's got with the league and how many strikes, what's 819 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 3: the next issue that that will emerge. Uh, Look, you 820 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 3: hope he gets it right, and you hope he has 821 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 3: himself right on the larger scale, but certainly on the 822 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 3: micro side, being a good teammate, being available. This slight 823 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 3: body frame has always been something even when he was 824 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 3: entering the league, whether he'd fill out, add more more weight, 825 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 3: or when he was doing his high flying you know, 826 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 3: one hit here or there and suddenly he's out for 827 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 3: an extended period of time. We've seen that repeatedly. Right, 828 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 3: he goes down to the court. And I mentioned Anthony 829 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 3: Davis when you were teasing, uh, you know about guys, 830 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 3: because we talked about him. I mean there's images of him. 831 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 3: People have photo photoshopped him into bubble wrap as he's 832 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,240 Speaker 3: on the court. But I like the one where Anthony 833 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 3: Davis has debuted his new shoe and it's and it's 834 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 3: a walking boot. Yeah right, get his head on there 835 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 3: and his signature in the whole nine yards. But we 836 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 3: always talk about assets and money can always be work. 837 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 3: What do you want to do? How much could this 838 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:08,720 Speaker 3: help push you forward? 839 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: It can't. 840 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 4: They're not winning with. 841 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,439 Speaker 1: It there and I had zero interest and it would 842 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,800 Speaker 1: you take the entire package of him again. I'll believe 843 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: he's there's interest when he's actually traded. I'll believe there's 844 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: interest when the great talent on the grand scheme. But 845 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: no coming up next? If you thought John Morant was 846 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: a big deal, how about what's been going on with 847 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: Lebron James, the Lakers, Rich Paul and Austin Reeves. Oh 848 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: is that a doozy? That's next
