Thanks 53 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: to the pds that keep plugging us back into the 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: schedule and all the work that our team does behind 55 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 3: the scenes as we get ready for twenty twenty six. 56 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 3: Big story coming out of the NFL earlier today, it's 57 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: the battle for the number one pick overall, ye arnie. 58 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 3: But we had Max Crosby sent home. The report from 59 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 3: Jay Glazer was they said, hey, it's it's been a 60 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: good run, congratulations on a job done for the year, 61 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: but it's time for you to take your leave and 62 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: go home. Here was his scoopage. Raiders told Max Crosby 63 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: they want to shut him down the last two games. Crosby, 64 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 3: he's played with injuries much of the year. Vmently disagreed. 65 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: Has left the building. NFL on Fox has learned this 66 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: could lead to questions on his future in Vegas, which 67 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: were already swirling a bit as they looked at the 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: new direction, new new players, whether the coaching staff has retained, 69 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: all of that as management kind of shuffles under Davis Brady, 70 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: et cetera. But when we look at Max Crosby being 71 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: shut down his presence, he's one of eleven, and while 72 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: he may be fantastic, their defense was not to be 73 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: kind about it, and whether he wanted to play or not. 74 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: And you talk to most football players, I mean, they're 75 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: football players. They play through pain, they played through injuries. 76 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 3: As soon as we get the guys off the line 77 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 3: the first couple of reps of the preseason, they're no 78 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: longer in mint condition anymore, Arnie, and now it's just 79 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: a battle of what's your pain tolerance threshold and whether 80 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 3: you're hurt slash injured and all of that diatribe. But 81 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: for Max Crosby, there's nothing to be gained for the 82 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: Raiders at this point. You've got a contract or you've 83 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 3: got the trade potential in the offing. The last thing 84 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: you want to have happen is for him to get 85 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 3: hurt in a game against the Giants. 86 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 4: Right right, you don't want him to get hurt. You're 87 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 4: at the bottom. You're fighting out for the number one pick. 88 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 4: We'll find out where they have it. Certainly I would 89 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 4: sit him down to find the Raiders I want that 90 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 4: number one pick. This is their way of tanking to 91 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: get that number one pick. And if they don't get 92 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 4: the number one pick, they can use Max Cosby to 93 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 4: trade on up to get that number one overall pick 94 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 4: if they so desire, if that's the quarterback they want, 95 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 4: so I certainly understand where the Raiders are coming from. 96 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 4: I understand where Max is coming from. Good for him, 97 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 4: he's a player. He wants to be out there with 98 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 4: his teammates. Unfortunately, it does the Raiders no good to 99 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 4: risk that type of stuff or risk his injury. I 100 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 4: think he'll end up getting traded anyway in the offseason. 101 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 4: To be honest with you, they don't need a contract 102 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 4: like that, and they certainly have to take care of Bowers. 103 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 4: He's certainly going to get the big, big money. They 104 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 4: have to get themselves a quarterback. If they don't get 105 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: one in the draft, maybe they get themselves a veteran quarterback. 106 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 4: So I understand where the Raiders are coming from, and 107 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,239 Speaker 4: I'm behind them on this one. 108 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: You'd already shut down Bowers for the year. Crosby's in 109 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: the first of a three year deal, three years, one 110 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 3: hundred and six million dollars extension. So you talk about 111 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: the investment, and we do this all the time, trying 112 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 3: to ascribe value to me. It always comes back to you. 113 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: I need a part, I need a thrower, and I 114 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: need an attacker my tap or pat system, depending on 115 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: how you want to do it. Right, protector, attacker, thrower, 116 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 3: that's it. Those three I need solidified, and then I 117 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: start building from there. Well, they've got the attacker. The 118 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 3: rest of it not so much. Genty's been pretty good 119 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: in spots. Jenoby Myers more or less had a sign 120 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: on his back that said trade me for weeks before 121 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 3: they finally got rid of him to Jacksonville. He goes 122 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 3: to Jacksonville, has a couple of big games, a couple 123 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 3: of big blocks to free up their run game, and 124 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: suddenly he gets a massive extension. But for the Raiders, 125 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: you're in a division where you're chasing all three teams, 126 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 3: even in Kansas City. As they go to retool, rebuild, 127 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 3: whatever that becomes. Travis Kelcey seems like he's finishing the string. 128 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 3: Whether he gets his fifty seven yards this next week 129 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 3: or not remains to be seen. But Patrick Mahomes is 130 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: on the way back from a big rehabilitation process. Needs 131 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: an offensive line wide receiver. But you still have Andy 132 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 3: Reid at least for now. Everything keeps plugging along. You 133 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: look at what Denver has been able to build as 134 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 3: they get out from under what Russell Wilson's contract was, 135 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 3: bo Nicks and the fourth quarter magic that they have. 136 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 3: It would have been a better game if Courtland Sutton 137 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: had held on to that touchdown pass. See I got you, 138 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: fantasy owners, I got you. 139 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 5: R J. 140 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 3: Harvey looks like a pretty good player. And then we 141 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 3: talk about the Chargers and the depth they have there 142 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: and eventually the offensive line will either be reconstituted and 143 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 3: regenerated or they'll go find new guys. Right, So you're 144 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: chasing in division, let alone the rest of the AFC. 145 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 4: No, you're right, and it's going to be a tough 146 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 4: climb up except for now the Kansas City. You saw 147 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: what happened to Mahomes. How much long is Andy Reid 148 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 4: going to be around. My question is this forget about 149 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 4: how long Andy Reid's going to be around. What's gonna 150 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 4: happen to Pete Carroll? Do you make that move? I 151 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: don't need Pee Carroll rebuilding my team. I think it's 152 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 4: time to just move on without him. Yeah, I'm looking 153 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 4: at age here. He's certainly too old. Time has passed 154 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 4: him by. Who's the guy that could turn around the 155 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 4: Raiders and lead him out of where they are right 156 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 4: now with a two and thirteen record, maybe finishing at 157 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 4: two and fifteen. Who's the guy that you know says 158 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 4: I'll get myself as a quarterback and we'll turn this 159 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 4: thing around. Tom Brady's gonna have to make the move. 160 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 4: Didn't do it right with the chip Kelly higher, but 161 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 4: something's got to give, and I don't know where to 162 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 4: begin this thing. 163 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I still want to that onion peeled back a 164 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: little bit. If I can get an in season hard 165 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 3: knocks with whatever footage they can call from the Raiders facilities, 166 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: think that would be fun. The Chip Kelly stuff and 167 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: Pete Carroll and going on current odds, Clint Kubiak is 168 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 3: the leader, Todd Monkin second, Joe Brady of the Bills, Third, 169 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 3: Cliff Kingsbury, Stenovich, Vance, Joseph Brian Flores gone down the line, 170 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy at eighteen to one. Wow, big long shot 171 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: on the board was Dan Lanning at thirty three to one. 172 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 3: What are the odds of. 173 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,599 Speaker 4: Them keeping Pete Carroll and just saying we'll go with 174 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 4: him one more year? 175 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing, right, you have to decide, 176 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: how does the long road begin with just the first 177 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 3: step of changing out the coach or do you need 178 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 3: to rebuild your infrastructure before you start pushing ahead? 179 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 4: Any odds on Tom Brady being the coach? Any odds 180 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 4: on Tom Brady Brady be in the quarterback? You tellt me. 181 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 3: He certainly wouldn't have taken as many sacks as Gino did. 182 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 3: He certainly wouldn't have turned the ball over as many 183 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 3: times as Gino did. Look, we talked about this a 184 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: lot yesterday, the dearth of quality quarterbacks, particularly as you 185 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: go down to the second and third tiers and the 186 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 3: second and third strings, to where Philip Rivers looks really 187 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 3: good compared to a lot of other guys that have 188 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 3: taken snaps. And we're into the mid fifties in terms 189 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: of quarterbacks who've taken a start this season. But yeah, 190 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 3: the Pete Carroll will he stay or will he go? 191 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: Is really one of the interest things here over these 192 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: next couple of weeks as the Tom Brady Spy Tech 193 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: again unfortunate surname or a really good one depending on 194 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: your point of view. Uh, the GM of the Raiders 195 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 3: that they installed, you know, how quickly do they think 196 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: they can rebuild this or do you just need to 197 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 3: keep someone I don't want to say status quote because 198 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: your team's. 199 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 4: Terrible, right, you can't keep forget about. 200 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 3: But it's more just the idea of is there something 201 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 3: from what Pete Carroll's done this year that you think 202 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 3: is a net positive long term or has it just 203 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 3: been an abject failure? 204 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 4: And who calls the shots too? Is it going to 205 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 4: be Davis? Is Tom Brady gonna go into Davis's office 206 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 4: and say, hey, this is what we got to do, 207 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 4: so this is the way we're riding the ship? 208 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would guess shots. Yeah, I would guess that 209 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 3: Davis and the other owners of the Raiders. There's all 210 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 3: deference to Tom Brady and whatever he says and Spy Tech, right, so. 211 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 4: To him for sure. 212 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 3: No, but in the end you've entrusted them. I mean, 213 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: you bring in Tom Brady as part of your group 214 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 3: and give him some clout and personnel decision making sitting 215 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: in the booth. Remember when that was such a big deal. Yeah, 216 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: got that advantage play out. Yeah, we're hary that we're 217 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 3: doing so much of. 218 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 4: A Raiders are gonna go seventeen to zero because of that. 219 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: You know the dumbest thing I ever heard. Yes, tom 220 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: Brady's in the meetings. It's gonna translate what's gonna translate 221 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: to someone's got a one funny one liner about the 222 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 3: guy's nighttime proclivities. I mean, yeah, you still need players, 223 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 3: which they clearly did not have. He could have had 224 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 3: all the answers to the test with this roster, it 225 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 3: was still gonna be terrible. 226 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 4: And tom Brady, you know, he's obviously very competitive. He 227 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 4: doesn't want his legacy to look like this. He's got 228 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 4: to say something because right now people are pointing a 229 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 4: finger to him over the Chip Kelly Well. 230 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 3: Because that's the other part of it. Right He's watched 231 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 3: the other goats from pick A Sport go down to 232 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 3: the Michael Jordan ownership Highway made a lot of money, 233 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: but when he tried to press on the scale to 234 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: bring in guys he liked. They might have all been 235 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: great college players, they might have been the you know, 236 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 3: the right stuff between the ears, but they couldn't play 237 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 3: right then one after another. So now it just becomes 238 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 3: that question for the Raiders as you go to rebuild 239 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 3: this thing, do you think you need? How special is 240 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 3: Pete Carroll without John Schneider eight seven to seven ninety 241 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 3: as we go through right, because how much blame credit 242 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 3: whatever term you want to use, You know, how much 243 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 3: credit does he get when you go back to the 244 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: way those teams were structured because John Schneider in a 245 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: second act. It took a couple of years. But now 246 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 3: that he's fully picking the groceries and making the decisions 247 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: back and seeing, look at where they are again, a 248 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: lot of think talent on both sides of the ball 249 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: and rising. 250 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 4: I think I got to let the season play out. 251 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 4: See if I have the number one or number two pick. 252 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 4: If I have the number two pick and I slowly 253 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 4: want the quarter back from Indiana, I made trad Max 254 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 4: cause me to move on up. I've got to say 255 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 4: goodbye to Pete Carroll, it's time for him to go. 256 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 4: I'm gonna rebuild with somebody else, somebody who's a lot younger, 257 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 4: maybe like a Dan Campbell type or something like that, 258 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 4: and just started from the very beginning and work it 259 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: up and and you see what Tom's got to say, 260 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: and see which direction he wants to go on. But 261 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 4: I've got to make a movie. Like you said, you know, 262 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 4: it's insanity to think that things are gonna change if 263 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 4: I bring Pete Carroll back. 264 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 2: It's's not gonna happen. 265 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: Well, it'll be fun to go through the tape and 266 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 3: what it's showing us right as opposed to look, he 267 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 3: won the Heisman Trophy. He's right now, he's on top 268 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 3: of the world in Mendoza and what he's been able 269 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 3: to do. They're undefeated going into the playoffs. It's all 270 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 3: great against the better teams. Wasn't transcending, right they got 271 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 3: W's take nothing away from it, but it becomes one 272 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 3: of those all right into tape. What am I seeing? 273 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 5: Right? 274 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 3: Is he that guy at the next level or is 275 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 3: he just the best of what has become a thinner 276 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 3: crop of quarterbacks. 277 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: I like him, I like his size, I like, look, 278 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 4: is arch Manning the guy that you'd want to take. 279 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 4: I mean, we're gonna question everybody that comes out. 280 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 3: We always do, and we should, right the whole point 281 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 3: of being behind these microphones and trying to have a 282 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 3: conversation the eye test and where it goes to the 283 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 3: next level, right, because thirty three and six nearly three 284 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 3: thousand yards Mendoz has been fantastic. But once upon a 285 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 3: time when we look at what this quarterback class was, right, 286 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 3: everybody was like, hey, twenty six will be great, and 287 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, one by one, nuss Meyer 288 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 3: got benched. He just had a b arch Manning ended 289 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 3: up having an okay season. He's gonna go and and 290 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: play in the Sitchers Bowl this coming week against Michigan. 291 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: But all they want the players that were expected, all 292 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 3: the Heisman favorites, all the guys that we were looking 293 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 3: as the All right, they'll come out and they'll be 294 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: top five picks. And we know the way the works, 295 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 3: there's only maybe one or two that will grade out 296 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: as first round picks. But guess what you need a quarterback? 297 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 3: Five guys I get drafted in the first. 298 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 4: Round, especially if you're a Raiders, You need the quarterback. 299 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 3: But you definitely need that, right, So do you overreach? 300 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 3: Is it an overreach? Is it? You know? And who's 301 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 3: the person to bring them along? Because as we've seen, 302 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 3: that's instrumental. Right, Caleb Williams a year ago and the 303 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 3: bad decision making sack wise didn't turn the ball over 304 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 3: a ton That was great, but also didn't push the 305 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 3: ball down the field nearly at all. 306 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 4: If the Giants had the number one pick, would they 307 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 4: dare give say we're just gonna take Mendoz and we'll 308 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 4: just pass on Jackson Dart and we'll trade him or 309 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 4: something like that. 310 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: Well, that's topic we can bring up.

I was just like, hey, we could have 432 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 5: some fun with this. This could be great, Arnie, but 433 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 5: it could all. 434 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 3: Be boring, it could all be wrapped up. 435 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 5: Way way to go, Arnie? Where you go? 436 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 3: He couldn't hit you with the tua question that he had. 437 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go? 438 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 5: Oh my god, there we go. All right, Arnie, You're 439 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 5: you're normally a little bit more excited about this stuff 440 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 5: than that. So I'm thrown a little bit here, really 441 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 5: thrown by your attitude here right now. 442 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 4: Well, because I'm a Dolphin fan, I've had nothing to 443 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 4: root for for a long long time. 444 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 5: So it's been well, I mean, Arnie, that's your fault. 445 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 5: You you want to be a fan. That's okay, that's 446 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 5: that's your life. You ruined it. I'm sorry. Well, what 447 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 5: do you want me to tell you? 448 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 4: You're born into it, to tell me what you think 449 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 4: about two of them? Because I mean, are they gonna 450 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 4: move him for a little more Jackson? Are they gonna 451 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 4: move him for Murray? Are they just gonna move him 452 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 4: and go in a different direction? What are they going 453 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 4: to do. 454 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 5: With him who wants him? 455 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 4: I think a lot of teams want him. 456 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, but they're not can trade for him. I mean, 457 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 5: that's not happening. I mean, like it's gonna let him 458 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 5: get and because they're not going to be a part 459 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 5: of that contract. 460 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 4: Right, that's true. 461 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 5: And so like you know, the people who think he 462 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 5: has values somehow, that's not That's just not the case. 463 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 5: Not at that contract. He has valued a smaller contract, 464 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 5: a prove it deal with somebody else, which is fine 465 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 5: that you know, go do that. I think that you know, 466 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 5: Tua still has the ability to be a league average 467 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 5: quarterback for somebody and if everything comes together, you can 468 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 5: make the playoffs Tua. That's that's you know, like that's 469 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 5: not you know, that's not really a problem. The problem 470 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 5: for Tua is he's not going to make enough plays 471 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 5: in the playoff situation that you can actually win it. 472 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 5: And the other thing is he's going to be injured 473 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 5: a lot. So we know the story of what Tua 474 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 5: is what the Dolphins do to replace Tua. I mean, 475 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 5: do you really think Baltimore's moving off from wal March Jackson? 476 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 4: Yes, I do, Yes, I do. I don't think he'll 477 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 4: be a member of the Ravens, no matter if it's 478 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 4: Miami or wherever he goes. I don't think he's going 479 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 4: to be on that team next year. 480 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 5: I have no idea where you get that idea. 481 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 4: I think think there's a lot of bad blood right now. 482 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 4: I don't. I think there's a lot of bad blood, 483 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 4: not only with Lamar, with the team. I think there's 484 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 4: bad blood that's being leaked out about him getting practice changed. 485 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 4: I think the fans now are starting to turn on 486 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 4: him and he's starting to feel it. I totally think 487 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 4: it's a bad situation right now out there. 488 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Steve Bashatti is the smart enough man 489 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 5: to go, yeah, we need the quarterback and we're going 490 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 5: to keep that guy and we'll make him happy somehow, 491 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 5: some way. Steve Bashatti is a very very smart man. 492 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 5: And so your dream scenario here, which is you get 493 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 5: rid of Tua, which is your first step, and then 494 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 5: you get Lamar Jackson to come home. That ain't happen 495 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 5: in PW. It's just not happening. And I hate to 496 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 5: rain on your parade, But after you talk to me 497 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 5: about there's no drama here, this is what you get. 498 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 3: Well, he tried to create some drama right saying well, 499 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 3: Lamar will be gone. What about John Harbaugh? Seems like 500 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 3: all the bad blood about someone ought to be fired 501 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 3: and shifting from Mike Tomlin over to Baltimore. 502 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 5: Well, because they had lost that game to Pittsburgh, and 503 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 5: you know, Lamar Lamar's Lamar has had a rough year, 504 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 5: no question about it. But this is a team that 505 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 5: was on the edge of the Super Bowl the last 506 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 5: couple of years. Again, I come back to everybody can 507 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 5: say all they want to say, but nobody ever talks 508 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 5: directly to Steve Bashadi. And I'm met Steve Bashady a 509 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 5: bunch of times, and that's a really clever dude. Okay, 510 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 5: He's really good at reading people and understanding what they do. 511 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 5: He's one of the smartest owners in the league. And 512 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 5: he's he's stood pat with John Harbaugh and he's created 513 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 5: a culture there that supersedes short term tantrums. And that's 514 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 5: everything that he's tried to do. All right, And so 515 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 5: he'll come in and he's smart enough and rich enough, 516 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 5: and powerful enough and convincing enough if you listen to 517 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 5: him and you've ever sat with him, and he can 518 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 5: get people settled down, and he can get people to 519 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 5: say to come back to the table, and he can 520 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 5: look at Lamar and say, Lamar, you're going to go 521 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 5: to another team that doesn't know how to build around you. 522 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 5: We have built an entire system completely for you, dedicated everything, 523 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 5: and John Harbaugh has been the guy. You guys are 524 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 5: letting a little bit of short term pressure and you know, 525 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 5: a bit of short term failure, you know, which is 526 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 5: said by the fact that you've been hurt this year, 527 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 5: which is a legitimate. Nobody's blaming you for being hurt, 528 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 5: but you know you've let that get to potentially ruining it, 529 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 5: ruining a good thing. Let's not do that. Now you 530 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 5: can go back and you can micromanage it theren Harbaugh 531 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 5: and say he didn't even handle this game, or he 532 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 5: didn't do this. Hey, look, there's a bunch of mistakes 533 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 5: to go around with Baltimore for the last few years. 534 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 5: A lot of them fall in Lamar's lap, a lot 535 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 5: fall in Harbaugh's lap. A bunch of them fall into 536 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 5: Mark Andrews's lap. Right, Yeah, the offensive Yeah, the offensive 537 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 5: coordinator gets his share for some bad play calling. You know, 538 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 5: Zay Flowers got you know, got a fumble in there. Okay, 539 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 5: I mean, there's a lot to go around and how 540 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 5: they did not end up winning a Super Bowl here 541 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 5: in the last couple of years. But don't throw the 542 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 5: whole way just because you had one rough year. I mean, 543 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 5: that'd be like the Kansas City Chiefs saying we're going 544 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 5: to tear every you know, we're trading you know, Patrick 545 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 5: Mahomes after this. 546 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 3: I mean, come on, Arnie already posited that last hour. 547 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 3: What are you doing? 548 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 4: Already? 549 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 5: Had Mahomes going to Miami? No? 550 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 4: I did. 551 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 3: He's got everybody he's got to pages. 552 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 4: Would if you don't think Jackson's gone, what about somebody 553 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 4: like Kyler Murray? I mean, I've got to assume that 554 00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 4: he's gone. 555 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 5: For the Why why are we always say why are 556 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 5: we like somehow equivocating Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray? Like, 557 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 5: you know, one of these things is not like the other. 558 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 5: One of them doesn't belong. And that's Kyler Murray. Okay, 559 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 5: all right, Tyler Murray is not Lamar Jackson. Kyler Murray 560 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 5: is a guy who hasn't put the work in, who 561 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 5: hasn't done what he needed to do, got hurt as well, 562 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,239 Speaker 5: all right, but never has accomplished anything close to what 563 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson has accomplished in this league. It's had some 564 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 5: moments that has done some interesting things, but you know, 565 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 5: he's never been on that kind of pedestal. You know, 566 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 5: like Kyler Murray is not as good as Tua, So whoa, 567 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 5: he's not. He's just not. I mean, and and neither 568 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 5: one of them is good enough to win a championship 569 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 5: for you. Now, somebody's gonna take a chance on because 570 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 5: there's not enough quarterbacks to go around. But Arizona is 571 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 5: done with it. Okay, so you know that. But like 572 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 5: Arnie in your world, you're like saying that the Dolphins 573 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 5: are going to a trade like a second or third 574 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 5: round pick to get Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, And 575 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 5: that's just not happening. Okay. 576 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 3: He just wants something new, is all, J Coole. 577 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 5: That's all A Look, if I was a Dolphins fan, 578 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 5: and I look, I covered that team for a long time. 579 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 5: You know, nineteen ninety two to two thousand and six. 580 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 5: They got a lot of friends associated with that team. Okay, 581 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 5: even though it's been twenty years since I've been in 582 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 5: South Florida, thank god. But you know, like you know 583 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 5: as much as you know that. I I understand, you know, 584 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 5: I understand. I understand where you're coming from. Like it's 585 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 5: been bad for a long time in Miami. It's you know, 586 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 5: and it's it's sometimes at the edge of hopeless. Okay, 587 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 5: but there's not a quick fix that's coming, like they 588 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 5: have to they have to do a lot of things, 589 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 5: starting with higher the GM make a decision on what 590 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 5: they're going to do here with the head coach. You know, 591 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 5: is there going to be another coach who comes out 592 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 5: of the woodwork that the owner is going to like better? 593 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 5: Is the owner ever going to come up with a 594 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 5: sort of consistent philosophy. Is the GM that they hire 595 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 5: going to match up with keeping McDaniel's or you know McDaniel, 596 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 5: or is he going to be a guy who butts 597 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 5: heads with him? Like there's a there's a lot in 598 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 5: motion there. Okay. Now, I would have thought he would 599 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 5: have gotten rid of McDaniel, But he hasn't, right, and 600 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 5: I don't think he has a lot. I mean, the 601 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 5: problem is, as long as he has been the owner, 602 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 5: he has not really learned a lot about how football 603 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 5: works because he spends most of the time concentrating on 604 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 5: his real estate business. And frankly, I don't blame him. 605 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 5: You know, it's a lot of money tied up in 606 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 5: that real estate business, okay, but but you know, like 607 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 5: he just this is he is an example of an 608 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 5: owner who doesn't really understand how football operates. And he 609 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 5: usually is the owner who listens to the guy who 610 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 5: sits next to him during games, and who I don't 611 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 5: know who that is right now, I don't know who 612 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 5: consistently has his ear. But that's the most powerful person 613 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 5: in that organization, which tells you a lot about how 614 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 5: impulsive that organization is. 615 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 3: I'm going to photoshop a picture of Arnie Span you're 616 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 3: sitting next to him for the. 617 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 5: Next at Jason Played from my Home, Straight from my Home. 618 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 3: At Jason Cole sixty two, where you find him the 619 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 3: thirty third team, long time NFL scribe, Hall of Fame voter, 620 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 3: and of course, the author of many books you can 621 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: purchase to add to your collection at Amazon dot com. 622 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 3: J Cole, friend of the family.

I mean, 759 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 4: it was like everything was on this thing. And it 760 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 4: was when the Major League Baseball had to strike.

This guy was a Hall of Famer, 769 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 4: a big time baseball guy, not super super great. He 770 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 4: was really known for one record that he broke. Well, 771 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 4: we get to the game, he shows up and it 772 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 4: was Cal Ripken Jr. And the first thing I say 773 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 4: was and I heard he was coming, is I got 774 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 4: cow Because what's going through my mind is if I 775 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 4: hit this guy and I heard him, I will be famous. 776 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 4: I'll stop the streak.
