7
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: her luxurious Penthouse hotel room in Kansas City, site of

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: the eighty eighth NFL Draft. Amy Wells Joints is. How

9
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: are you, Amy?

10
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: I'm great, Mike Keith. Not exactly the penthouse, but like

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 2: decently high up. I mean, we have a good view,

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: so I'll take it.

13
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: So the real name of the NFL Draft is the

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: Annual Selection Meeting. So it is formally the twenty twenty

15
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: three Annual Selection Meeting in Kansas City. Mode. What's the

16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: vibe in Kansas City right now?

17
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: It's not as formal as Annual Selection Meeting implies. It's

18
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: definitely not that formal. But there is a buzz around

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: this city. There is a buzz just around the players.

20
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: We had the opportunity to see them a little bit earlier. Today,

21
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: there are emotions that are all over the road. Guys

22
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 2: were talking about everything from being very cool and chill

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: to being like very emotional about what this moment means.

24
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: So there's I mean, there's just an array of feelings.

25
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: But in terms of being in the city, there's definitely

26
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: an atmosphere here. There is definitely a buzz about what's

27
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: going on. I was in a ride share a couple

28
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: days ago and they were like, well, are you in

29
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: Kansas City? You know there's a draft going on here?

30
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: Is that what you came for? And I was like, yeah,

31
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: I guess you could say that. I guess I came

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: here for the draft. And they're just very fired up

33
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: about They're very proud to be hosting this big NFL

34
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: event in their city and that's fun to be around.

35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: Is there one main storyline that permeated through all of

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: the players with whom you dealt.

37
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: Today, Well, there was obviously there's the main storylines about

38
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: being approximately twenty four hours out. You know, everybody's getting

39
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: ready and there's a lot of conversation about how to

40
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: spend the time because after the community event this morning,

41
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: these prospects had a lot of free time between their

42
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: next event being the Red carpet show, which is right

43
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: before the actual draft starts. So how people are feeling

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: their free time, what they're doing, how they're kind of

45
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: shaking off the nerves. A lot of guys were discussing

46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: that throughout the reporters. The storyline that everybody's talking about

47
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: is what in the world is going to happen with

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: these quarterbacks. It's just everybody has different opinions. Everybody has

49
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: a kind of a different different bend to what is

50
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: going to happen when teams are actually on the clock

51
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: on Thursday. So it's an exciting place to be. There's

52
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: a lot of questions and frankly zero answers. We're not

53
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: going to know until tomorrow.

54
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: So there's seventeen players who are there. Yes, So theoretically,

55
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: if all seventeen were to go in the first round,

56
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: which they probably won't, but if that happened, there would

57
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: be fourteen guys who are not there who would be selected.

58
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: And I mean, we'll see if all seventeen go, but

59
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: it seems like a much smaller number of players in

60
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: person than in years past. Is that fair?

61
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: That is absolutely fair. I think that COVID really showed

62
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: a lot of people that staying at home is okay

63
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: because I mean, listen, ESPN, the NFL, all of these

64
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: work together to send cameras, they send people to whatever

65
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: location the top draft picks are going to be. The

66
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: guys are expected to go in the first round, whether

67
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: they are here in the green room or they are

68
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: having a watch party somewhere, are still going to get

69
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: that like moment. You know, it might not be walking

70
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: across the stage, but they'll get some sort of a

71
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: moment that will be televised and we all get the

72
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: opportunity to watch it no matter where they are. But

73
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: I think that the couple years of everybody staying back,

74
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: a couple of years of everybody having the opportunity to

75
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: have you know, a kit mailed to them, as opposed

76
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: to making all of these travel plans and frankly risking

77
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: the chance of ending up sitting in the green room

78
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: and not getting picked all the way through night one

79
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: is kind of scary. And I think that that's something

80
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: that some guys don't even want to take the chance.

81
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: And then there's some guys that genuinely just want to

82
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: be able to celebrate this moment with their family and

83
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: their friends and the people that they feel like help

84
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: them get here. So I think there's a lot of

85
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: things that kind of contribute to fewer guys coming out.

86
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 2: I will say that the Commissioner, Roger Goodell was at

87
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: the community service event that we saw the prospects at today,

88
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: and they were very excited to meet him. He was

89
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: a very popular man amongst the prospects. They all wanted

90
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: to shake his hand and make sure that they had

91
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: the opportunity to interact with him before what they're hoping

92
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: is the big moment with the bear hugs and all

93
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: of that on the stage.

94
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: Who of the players that you dealt with today, if

95
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: any impressed you.

96
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: They all were kind of impressive. I was very struck

97
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: by this class that everybody seemed very well spoken and

98
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: very thoughtful. There weren't too many people giving throwaway answers.

99
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: There weren't too many people who were just kind of

100
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: blowing off reporters, which can happen sometimes there's a lot

101
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: of things going on and there's a lot of people around.

102
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: But nobody really was disinterested in having a conversation with you,

103
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: and I thought that that was very impressive. Will Levice

104
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: was fielding some questions that were a little tricky, and

105
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: I think he handled that with grace, and I think

106
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: that he was a good talker. Someone like Bijeon Robinson

107
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: was so excited to be interacting with the kids on

108
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: the field today. They did some like play football drills

109
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: and some flag football things, so he was clearly very

110
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: excited to be down on the field with everybody and

111
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: interacting with them. But I mean, really, there wasn't anybody

112
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: that we spoke to that I was like, well, he

113
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: didn't really like he was too cool for school. They

114
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 2: were all great. So I'm excited about this class, and

115
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: I'm excited that of everyone that I was able to

116
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: kind of watch and interact with, there wasn't a guy

117
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: that'd be like, not that one. So that's good. That

118
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: makes me feel good.

119
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: All right. Draft Night Thursday night. Our coverage on Titan's

133
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be pretty wild at sixth

134
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: and Peabody. I think our Titans nation is excited about

136
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: what happened in Nashville last night. So we are heading

137
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: into draft day tomorrow with big mo I will say,

138
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: we're tired. We're running on excitement, We're running on caffeine.

139
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: Are you running on duncan?

140
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: We're running on duncan, y'all. I'll get to that in

141
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: the moment. But the bottom line is, I mean, there

142
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: is e motion and feeling in this building right now

143
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: because virtually every employee was there at the Metro Council

144
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: meeting last night to say we understand how big this

145
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: is for our organization. I mean, the discussion was this

146
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: stadium issue. If it passes, tonight being last night, If

147
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: it passes, then this is one of the great moments

148
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: in franchise history. And everybody wanted to be there for that,

149
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: and everybody wanted to be there to support Burke night

150
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: Hill and the people who really helped to pull this together.

151
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: And it was funny. We did not get in last night,

152
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: We did not get into the room for the public

153
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: hearing portion, But as the supportive speakers came out, they

154
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: got standing ovations and you should have seen the look

155
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: on their face. It was, you know, it was like

156
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: a ballgame. The other side was not ugly. There was

157
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: nothing that I saw between the two sides that ever

158
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: got ugly. You certainly respect someone's opportunity to disagree with you,

159
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: you get that. And they had the points that they

160
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: felt were relevant. But in the end, from a political standpoint, Amy,

161
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: we knew the votes were there and so no matter

162
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: how long it took, in the end, the votes were there.

163
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: And now we are going to build a stadium with

164
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: a roof starting sometime in twenty twenty four, will break ground.

165
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: Now, Mike I was a able to stream the meeting online.

166
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: I watched it from Kansas City, but you were actually there,

167
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: you were able to be a part of that moment.

168
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if you could just describe kind of what

169
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 2: it was like the lead up to it and then

170
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: the actual vote. What were you guys feeling. What was

171
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: it like to be a part of something like that,

172
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 2: Because you're one hundred percent right, this is a historical

173
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: moment for this franchise.

174
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: It really is. Let me say, first of all, I

175
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: was not in the room for the vote, okay, because

176
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: when they extended the public discussion period, I did not

177
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: know how long that was going to go. And right

178
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: now I'm doing a lot of things with our Titans

179
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: radio partners throughout the Mid South. I had one very

180
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: early this morning, so I couldn't make it to two

181
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: in the morning. I did that last week. I was

182
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: there for nine hours. Last week. I made it until

183
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: until eleven o'clock, and then I said, you know, I've

184
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: got a got to be away because I've just got

185
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: to be up so early, and what we have tomorrow

186
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: and Friday and Saturday to do. You know, there's just

187
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: so much, So there wasn't going to be room for

188
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: all of us in the room anyway, and so that

189
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: probably worked out better for me. I'm kind of disappointed

190
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: because I would have liked to have been there for

191
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: the moment, right, But I think you know, you know,

192
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: when you got a winner, and there had been such

193
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: tremendous organization. Kate Gara who works with us, had done

194
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: such a fantastic job, Savannah Howie who works with her,

195
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: had done a fantastic job. So many other people had

196
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: done had done big things at dulpho Birch with his

197
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: speech last night, he of course one of our leaders

198
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: in this organization, and there were just so many people

199
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: who had done a great job. You wanted to be

200
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: there to support them and to be excited for them,

201
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: because to see them pull this off was a big deal.

202
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean from where we started with hey, let's refurbish

203
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium to you're kidding me, it'll cost that, to

204
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: here's an idea for a new building, to here's the

205
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: way we're going to finance the whole thing together, to

206
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: now you've got to get it through Metro Council. I

207
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: mean it will when you see the vote totals. The

208
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: vote totals were substantial. It was a winner everywhere it went.

209
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: Last night it was twenty six to twelve. You know,

210
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: the process though, of making the sausage wasn't that easy

211
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: because if that vote didn't clear last night, then they

212
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: were going to have to go back to the drawing

213
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: board and basically start over in July, right, And so

214
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: you know, there were a lot of procedural things that

215
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: had to go on again. Our side, the pro side,

216
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: had a winner, knew it had the votes. The other

217
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: side was hoping they could stall it. And if they could,

218
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: then procedurally it would have to go to July, and

219
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: between now and then, who knows what happens. Right time

220
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: is beneficial when you're doing that kind of political fight.

221
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: But I think in the end, the thing that I

222
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: was so proud of is the way our organization handled everything.

223
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of the way they've structured this deal,

224
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: which I think is a great thing. The taxpayers won't

225
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: pay the burden anymore, which is a great, great, great

226
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: thing for all of Davidson County. And the other part

227
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: of it, too is this venue is going to change

228
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: the overall trajectory of the franchise again. And I saw

229
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: the first one open. I know what it is done

230
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: for Nashville. I mean, I grew up in Middle Tennessee.

231
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: I understand the full impact of it, and I think

232
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: this new stadium with a roof, with a translucent roof,

233
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: is going to totally revolutionize what Nashville is towards that

234
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: next level. And it's just mind boggling in how exciting

235
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: it is amy because I never thought I would get

236
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: to see that happen again, and that has always been

237
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: one of my favorite parts of this journey, was to

238
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: see this thing hit and blow up the way it

239
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: did in such a cool way. And now it has.

240
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: Now I have the chance to see it go again.

241
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm very fortunate, and I think everybody feels great here

242
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: today about the fact that you know, the plan was

243
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: a winner, and if you read the plan, you understood

244
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: it and you understood the terms, and everybody takes away

245
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: really good things out of this in the long term,

246
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: and I think twenty five years from now we'll be

247
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: saying the same thing we did about building Nissan Stadium

248
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: in the late nineties. This will something you'll say, Yeah,

249
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: this was a big time winner and we were lucky

250
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: to have it.

251
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: So this is obviously a huge victory and this is

252
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: so exciting, but we still got to get a stadium here.

253
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: So what what are the next steps? Now? How do

254
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: we continue to get closer to this goal?

255
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of the planning, a lot

256
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: of the you know, who's going to do what. You've

257
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: got to bid a lot of jobs, and you've got

258
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: to figure out some more things in terms of specifics

259
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: with architecture. I mean, the first thing they obviously have

260
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: to do is make the press box as luxurious as possible.

261
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: We made to fill with food and great.

262
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we've got to We've got to have

263
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: a conversation, right right, Probably not, but I mean you're

264
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: so you're doing all the details, you'll be getting materials in,

265
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: and the groundbreaking it would feel like would come about

266
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: this time next year. Uh, maybe a little earlier, maybe

267
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: a little later. The build is less than two and

268
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: a half years in terms of what the feeling is.

269
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: And so this facility being and we've said it on

270
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: the OTP all along, twenty twenty seven was always going

271
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: to be more likely, right, and that that was going

272
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: to be the aim, and that's going to be the

273
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: aim of this amy that we're that we're pointed towards

274
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven season to give to give plenty of time.

275
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: And the reason for this is if you're in a hurry,

276
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: costs escalate. If you can stay with the plan and

277
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: do everything the best way, you know how, you can

278
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: stay within your budget more properly. And I think that's

279
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: one hundred percent what they're going to try to do,

280
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: and that's that's what the plan is. And you know,

281
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: that's what's so exciting.

282
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: It's like, if you're building a house, if you have

283
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: a time crunch and you need to get into that house,

284
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna do whatever it takes to get it done.

285
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: If you have time as you are building your home,

286
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: you can you can give things a chance to breathe,

287
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: if you can get the appropriate equipment and tools that

288
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 2: you need, and you don't necessarily have to go over

289
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: budget because you're able to do things in a different timeline.

290
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're able to stick to the plan. Yeah, and

291
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: you're not You're not like, oh gosh, we've got to

292
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: you know, we've got to grab this material so quickly

293
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: and we have to pay extra for it to get

294
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: it here. And you know that's Listen, anybody who knows

295
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: about building anything knows. It's not an exact science. And

296
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here saying, oh, it'll all just you know,

297
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: fold together. But I think the one thing you do

298
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: know is if you have time and a plan, you

299
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: are much more likely to be able to stay with it.

300
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: Like when the building was built here in the late nineties,

301
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: they knew that thing had to be ready for the

302
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: start of the ninety nine season because there was nowhere

303
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: else for the team to go right, and it was

304
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: crazy what all was happening at the end. To try

305
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: to get it finished, you want to avoid that at

306
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: any way possible. You're also going to want to get

307
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: the seat Geek app. Se Geek is now the official

308

00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: Titans new stadium, that's for sure.

318
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, there will be. There will be many updates,

319
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: I am sure. But this is exciting. This is a

320
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: big day for the Tennessee Titans. This is this is

321
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 2: a victory day.

322
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: And tomorrow heads off of big three days for the

323
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. As we get ready to get into the draft,

324
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: I am dying to know what Daniel Jeremiah and Charles Davis,

325
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: both of the Network think, Amy Wells, who would you

326
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: like to share with us first, as you had a

327
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: chance to talk with both of these gentlemen there in

328
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: Kansas City.

329
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: Well, Mike Keith, I did have a chance to talk

330
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: to both of them, and I think that we should

331
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: start with Daniel Jeremiah because I wanted to talk to

332
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: him a man who has a lot of experience with

333
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: teams as a personnel person, and I wanted to talk

334
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: to him about some of the behind the scenes of

335
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: what is happening within those war rooms within the days

336
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: leading up to the draft. So we talked a little little,

337
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: you know, logistics, We talked about process, and I was

338
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 2: trying to get a better understanding, and so I'm excited

339
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 2: to share my conversation with Daniel Jeremiah with my friends

340
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: here at the ANTE. Daniel Jeremiah, it feels like it's

341
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,120
Speaker 2: been a lifetime since the last time we talked to you,

342
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: you in Indianapolis at the scouting Combine, and I know

343
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 2: a lot of things around the league has changed, and

344
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: a lot of people's draft boards have changed from where

345
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 2: we were in Indianapolis and some of the initial evaluations

346
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: that teams would have had to Now, how different are

347
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: draft boards? How different are teams setups? I'm asking you

348
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: procedural questions because you know a little bit better than

349
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: anybody else.

350
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that you know what's happened. Everybody always

351
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 3: freaks out and they say, how does a player move

352
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: up or down? You haven't played any games. This is

353
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: the silly season. You're getting carried away with all the

354
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: wrong stuff. And then I would just point out, well,

355
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 3: there's a couple of things. Number One, everybody in your building,

356
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: especially your coaches, haven't watched any of these players, so

357
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: they're getting to the process late. That can impact whether

358
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 3: they move up or down. Like, Hey, this guy's he's

359
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 3: a good player. I agree with the scouts, but he

360
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 3: doesn't fit us, so we'll move on. And then there's

361
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 3: the fact you're gonna get medical information that's gonna help

362
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 3: some guys, it's gonna hurt some other guys. And then

363
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 3: from the meeting process, right, you might you know, you

364
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 3: might love a player on video, and then you bring

365
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: them into your building and you're like this is not

366
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: gonna work, Like this is just not a fit. So

367
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: all those different factors, you know, go into the process,

368
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: and that's why you see a board you know in

369
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: April might look.

370
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 4: A little different than the one you see in January.

371
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: How much does the media play into that and those decisions.

372
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 2: We know there's mock drafts. We know there's reports that

373
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: come out throughout the six to eight weeks in between

374
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 2: workouts of the combine and everything in the draft. We

375
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 2: know that there may or may not have been some

376
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: news on Reddit the other night that exploded the Internet

377
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: for a couple hours. All of these things, do they

378
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 2: really play into the process or is it more just

379
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: fun for those of us that are outside the war room.

380
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: I think it's.

381
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 3: Fun for those outside the war room. This is an

382
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 3: old phrase. This is an old man's phrase. But I'll

383
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 3: say doesn't amount to Hillebean's inside the draft room. So

384
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: it just doesn't It doesn't carry any weight.

385
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.

386
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 3: You know, they might keep track of mock drafts to

387
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 3: just see if they get a general sense of where

388
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 3: some players might go, but it's really not going to

389
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: all their impact their thinking or their process as they

390
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 3: get towards the draft. But makes our job fun and

391
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 3: it gives us a lot of things to talk about

392
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 3: and then you know, we'll see what happens.

393
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 2: You've got to imagine that relationships are more what people

394
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 2: are leaning on scouts. With relationships with people they know

395
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 2: from other teams, former teams that they've been a part of,

396
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: former co workers. That has to give a little more weight, right,

397
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: those conversations and interactions.

398
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think you talk to teams that have

399
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 3: you know, you might have somebody that left your building

400
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 3: and he might have a relationship somewhere else. I mean,

401
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 3: it's a lot of third party information. But at the

402
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: end of the day, your job is to order the

403
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: players one to one fifty or whatever your number is

404
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: on your draft board, and it's paint by numbers.

405
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 4: Just if you if you're.

406
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: Doing a fantasy football draft in your mom's kitchen with

407
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: your buddies from high school.

408
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 4: It's the exact same thing.

409
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 3: You come up with your rank, you cross them off

410
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 3: one by one as they get picked, and you take

411
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 3: the best available player that's left.

412
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: The Tennessee Titans have a new general manager and Ran Karthon,

413
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 2: so there are some question marks around what the Titans

414
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: may or may not be doing. Picking at eleven, you

415
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 2: have to think that he's enjoying this position because there

416
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 2: are so many avenues that he could go down, right.

417
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that they're you know, they're in

418
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 3: a in a process right now or in a period

419
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: where feel I feel.

420
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: Like they need bulk.

421
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 3: They needed, they need an infusion of some talent, and

422
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: I think more is better than less. So there's talk

423
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 3: of them moving up and maybe that's, you know, maybe

424
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 3: that's where we end up.

425
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 4: Maybe CJ.

426
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 3: Stroud doesn't go to and they invault all the way

427
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: up to three and take him. But to me, I

428
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 3: think it almost makes more sense with where they are

429
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 3: that they they go the other way if they're.

430
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 4: Going to move.

431
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 2: As we're talking about these players and everything, there are

432
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: always some surprises that we see in the twenty four

433
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: ish hours leading up to the draft. We're in that

434
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: period right now. Are there any things that you are

435
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: keeping your eye on, Daniel Jeremiah as we get closer

436
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: to the first round of the NFL.

437
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 3: Dri Yeah, I think the you know, one of the

438
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: interesting things to me is is kind of the offensive

439
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 3: line run.

440
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 4: Like there's different runs.

441
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: I think the expectation is we're going to have an

442
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 3: early offensive line run.

443
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 4: So when does that start.

444
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 3: That's there's talk that Arizona could started at three and

445
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 3: so all of a sudden, now we're going to see

446
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 3: those offensive linemen fly off the board. And then the

447
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: next thing to me is when the wide receiver run starts.

448
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 3: And you know, I think obviously Tennessee factors into that

449
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 3: where they are. You look at Green Bays not far behind,

450
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: they could be in a wide receiver team.

451
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 4: And then to me, the fun really is when you.

452
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: Get to like twenty, Like when you get to twenty,

453
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 3: you can make a case from twenty to thirty one,

454
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 3: there's like seven teams that could be in the wide

455
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 3: receiver market. I think that's where what you were talking

456
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 3: about earlier, having maybe a little bit of a knowledge

457
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 3: of that this team likes this particular type of player.

458
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 3: Maybe we can move up a few spots and make

459
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: sure we.

460
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 4: Secure our guy.

461
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: There's a lot of position groups that have a lot

462
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 2: of depth this year. Tight Ends, offensive linemen, defensive backs.

463
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: There's a lot of places where there's depth for teams.

464
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: That's great news for players. Is that to their detriment

465
00:24:59,080 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: a little bit?

466
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: I want to be the only good player at my

467
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 3: position in the draft. I don't want to be in

468
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: a crowded room full of great players at your position.

469
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: But there's still you know, when the premier positions ed, rusher, corner, defensively,

470
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: it's a really deep group. But teams that are always

471
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 3: in need, so that's not gonna impact them. To me,

472
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 3: it's probably gonna impact the tight ends, you know, just

473
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: because it's a really good group of tight ends. So

474
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 3: that to me is the group that might be negatively

475
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 3: impacted by the depth.

476
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: What are you the most excited to see it? Round one?

477
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: What question are you hoping gets answered on Thursday night?

478
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 4: The heck are the Houston Texans gonna do?

479
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: I mean with the second pick of the draft, Like

480
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: normally we have a pretty good feel. It's like, okay,

481
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 3: you kind of just go auto like your brain goes

482
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: on autopilot, and it's like, okay, okay, we've made it

483
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: to pick eight. Okay, now we don't know so all right,

484
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: what happens? I don't know who the picking at number two,

485
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 3: so that's gonna make for a fun night.

486
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 2: We hope they pick someone who's not very good at football.

487
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 4: I figured you might be leaning in that direction.

488
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Daniel Jeremiah. We appreciate this time.

489
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 4: The Great Sea is always.

490
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: That's Amy Wells with Daniel Jeremiah here on BOTP. I've

491
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: got to mention this before we move on. Hey, Titans fans,

492
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: it's hard to decide what's the best part of a

493
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: dunkin Run. Is it the coffee? Is it the one

494
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: dollar classic donut? Or the two dollars stuff mini bagels

495
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: they actually call them bagel minis or three dollars sausage,

496
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: egg and cheese that you could add to that coffee,

497
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: Or the fact that you get to leave the office.

498
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: The answer is, of course, yes, it's time for a

499
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: Dunkin run. Great deals on food for one, two or

500
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: three dollars with a medium or larger coffee. America runs

501
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: on Duncan right now, I am running on Duncan Andy

502
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: Wells because I stayed up too late last night and

503
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,280

508
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis and also Ramon Foster, who former NFL lineman

509
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: and he's on one O four to five the Zone.

510
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: Remind everyone, if you want to listen to it wherever

511
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: in the world that you are the ot people, tune

512
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: into the one O four to five The Zone app

513
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: one O four to five the Zone app to be

514
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: able to listen to our draft coverage tomorrow night. All right,

515
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: So it was a tease. I like how you did it.

516
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: You went with Daniel Jeremiah's interview first and that was

517
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: a dandy. Now it's time to hear from our friend

518
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: Charles Davis, who's covering another draft for NFL Network. Set

519
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: it up if you will, please, Ammi wills Well.

520
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: Charles Davis is someone who of course is a friend

521
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 2: of the OTP. We talked to him a lot, and

522
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: I was thinking about it as I was preparing to,

523
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: you know, spend some time with him, and I realized

524
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: the last time that we had talked to him was

525
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis at the scouting combine. So I figured that

526
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 2: I should just go back to the last conversation that

527
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 2: we had had and pick up where we left off.

528
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: And we were talking quarterbacks when we last saw Charles Davis,

529
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: So it felt like that was a really good place

530
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: to start today's conversation. Charles, when last we talked to

531
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: you in Indianapolis at the combine, you said Bryce Young

532
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: is the best quarterback in this draft, and no one

533
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: could convince you otherwise. A lot has happened between now

534
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: and then. I'm giving you the option to change your

535
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: mind if you want to. Is Bryce Young still the

536
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: top quarterback in this draft?

537
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 5: Amy, after further consideration and all these months later and

538
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 5: a lot of watching of tape and talking to people

539
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 5: and analyzing, He's still the best quarterback in this draft.

540
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 5: For me. I told you then, it'd take a lot

541
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 5: to change my mind because I was forced up to

542
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: cake a little bit the measure of him as a person.

543
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 5: Spend some time and then watch him and observe him.

544
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 5: I asked a GM a few years ago, why did

545
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 5: you pick this person for a draft one of the

546
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: other thirty one gms in the league, and he said,

547
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 5: because I needed an adult in the room. I'm not

548
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 5: saying the other quarterbacks are on adults. That's not my point.

549
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 5: I'm sure someone gonna go Charles David says, the oh

550
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 5: quarterbacks are an adult. I'm not saying that. But this

551
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 5: kid is an adult, even at a young age. I

552
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 5: watched him do something one time, and I won't give

553
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 5: it up because it's not fair to him. But he

554
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 5: did it where he made a decision that is a

555
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 5: twenty four seven three sixty five quarterback lifestyle decision. But

556
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 5: he did with no fanfare. See if I had done

557
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 5: what he had done, I would have mad sure everybody

558
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 5: knew I did it because I wanted everybody to know

559
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 5: I made the right decision. Watch me, He quietly made

560
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 5: the right decision and other people didn't figure it out

561
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 5: until much later.

562
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 4: Like where's Bryce?

563
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 5: I thought, But that's just him. That's what I sense

564
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 5: from him. Then when I watch him play, you know

565
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 5: he does everything you need, throws it on time, on

566
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 5: the three to five step drop creates when he needs to.

567
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 5: If he needs to pick up a first down with

568
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 5: his feet, he can do that and sting you avoids

569
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 5: big hits for the most part, most quarterbacks do. Jalen

570
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 5: Hurst took a monster hit last year, almost the real

571
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 5: Philadelphia season, and he's thicker, so people are scared of

572
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 5: This has every throw that you need to make in

573
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 5: the arsenal. But that doesn't mean he can throw through

574
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 5: the car wash and the ball comes out dry. He

575
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 5: doesn't have the gun, but he's got every throw you need.

576
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 5: And we're getting less of this, but I think it

577
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 5: still counts when you're old like I am. He Willie Anderson,

578
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 5: the rest of the Alabama teammates played that bowl game

579
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 5: against Kansas State, not a college football playoff game and

580
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 5: not ceremonial snaps. And he made a throw in that

581
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 5: game on a back side fitted over the top of

582
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 5: a corner before he hits the pylon. That was as

583
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 5: good as an't throw I saw last year. And when

584
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 5: I went back and watched it again and realized that

585
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 5: corner he threw it over. It is probably a second

586
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 5: round pick, gonna be a starter in the NFL. Named

587
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 5: Julius Brents at Kansas State, who I love. This kid

588
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 5: is the real deal. Makes very few bad decisions. I

589
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 5: saw one against LSU down near the goal line, very

590
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 5: late on the play. But you're not gonna find many

591
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 5: of those. So he's still my number one.

592
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: C J.

593
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 5: Stroud was my number two. That didn't change. Hendon Hooker

594
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 5: became my number three, and if he hadn't hurt his knee,

595
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 5: we would have a major battle about who the number

596
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 5: three was. Anthony Richardson was my number four, and we'll

597
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 5: love us my number five. Richardson give him a year,

598
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 5: but if you draft him, don't say we're gonna give

599
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 5: him a year and then in game five you're playing.

600
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes is one of the few that sat out.

601
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 5: Carson Palmer sat out inire season. Stee McNair sat out

602
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 5: pretty much two seasons. Chris Chandler right, Sometimes it does work,

603
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 5: but I understand if you draft a kid high, it's

604
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 5: hard to keep him on the bench. You know, the

605
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 5: person signing the checks tends to walk into meetings and

606
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 5: go so, how's the young man coming along? And that's

607
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 5: usually code for I'd like to see him play.

608
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: Aside from the quarterback position. What other position group has

609
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: the most question marks going into Night one of the

610
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: NFL Draft.

611
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 5: We don't have the linebackers we normally have, But I

612
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 5: think that that is part and parcel with the running

613
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 5: backs because we're not a heavy run oriented football playing

614
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 5: group now, college or pro. The linebackers of the old

615
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 5: school guys with the big nick roles, the twurn and

616
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 5: fifty five pounds, and they're not there anymore. They're pumped up,

617
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 5: strong safeties that are running around. But there's good players

618
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 5: that's just maybe not in the first round, you know,

619
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 5: so it's not quite the same. I think interior offensive

620
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 5: line is similar. Osiris Torrence from Florida is probably the

621
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 5: only guy I'm seeing recently mocked in the first round.

622
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 5: Maybe a center if you like a center, like a

623
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 5: Joe Tipman from Wisconsin or John Michael Schmidt if you're

624
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 5: being real specific. But for the most part, interior offensive

625
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 5: line not getting that kind of love. But I'm gonna

626
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: give you what I'm crazy about. That's Steve Avila from

627
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 5: TCU guard center. I want to play him at center.

628
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 5: I want to put him at center and let him

629
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 5: beat people up and handle the big noses. Over the top.

630
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 5: I love Steve Avila.

631
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: Is he your dark horses? He someone who could show

632
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: up a little bit earlier than what people are expecting.

633
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 5: I think so, especially once we start the run on

634
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 5: offensive linemen inside. Heck, he might even be able to

635
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 5: find his way. Some people may like him better than Torrence.

636
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 5: He's a good player, but I know a lot of

637
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 5: people look at him as a guard. I like him

638
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 5: as a center. But that's just me.

639
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: That's your opinion is very valid, Charles Davis. That's that's

640
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 2: why we're here.

641
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 5: As my dad was say, it's worth the paper it's

642
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 5: printed on, Davis.

643
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: The Tennessee Titans are picking at eleven new general manager,

644
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: and Ran Carthon got to be a great spot for

645
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: him because there's so many different options at that number

646
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 2: eleven position.

647
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 5: Right, I can't wait to see Ran trade up to

648
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 5: three right out of the gate. Let's get this thing going.

649
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 5: Brand new general manager. He's gonna pull a nuclear loosh

650
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 5: from Bull Durham. He's gonna announce his presence with authority.

651
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 5: Not just kidding, but let's be honest about it. It's

652
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 5: something that has been discussed. I'm not saying the Titans

653
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 5: have I'm just saying, all of us yacky yak yak. Right,

654
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 5: we're talking about this like crazy three with the Cardinals

655
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 5: is a prime spot. Who wants to go up and

656
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 5: get The person that they want is Anthony Richardson. The

657
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 5: one who's coveted is Will Levis. The one that's coveted

658
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 5: is CJ. Stroud, the one who knows I'm saying quarterback,

659
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 5: I don't know that there's another player you're coming up

660
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 5: for to go all the way to three. We got

661
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 5: pooled a bunch of years ago. The same came way

662
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 5: up to twelve and we were like, what quarterback? And

663
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 5: they drafted Marcus was the Davenport out of Utsay we

664
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 5: all want. Didn't see that one coming. So you never

665
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 5: know how it goes. But here's the other part. What

666
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 5: if some of these quarterbacks move back a little bit

667
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 5: and now a quarterback or two is still sitting there

668
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 5: at ten Right now, if you're Philadelphia, you're probably calling.

669
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 5: You're like, phone's open, we'll move back a couple still

670
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 5: get the probably the guy we want who wants to

671
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 5: make the deal. Then we can find out if Tennessee's

672
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 5: in really in the quarterback market at that point Are

673
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 5: they in an offensive line market because they definitely need

674
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 5: offensive linemen. Tackles are gonna be the premium. Is that

675
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 5: where they go? Did they get the first bite at

676
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 5: the receivers? Is it Jackson Smith and Jigba? Is it

677
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 5: a speedier guy like a Zay Flowers? Who's more of us?

678
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 5: But Smith and jigbaz A Flowers, Jordan Addison who I love.

679
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 5: They're all mainly sli You want big, you gotta go

680
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 5: to TCU and Quinn Johnston. And he's come out of

681
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 5: a heavy run offense, a lot of go routes, a

682
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 5: lot of post routes, a lot of overs, but the

683
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 5: route tree will have to be worked on. Reminds me

684
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 5: of Damarius Thomas come out Georgia Tech. Maybe because they

685
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 5: were heavy option offense. He asked about twenty five thirty

686
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 5: yards a catch, but he became a really good route runner.

687
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 5: If you believe Quinn Johnson can do that, then he's

688
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 5: a guy keep an eye on.

689
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun.

690
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 5: Oh, it's gonna be fun.

691
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: Right.

692
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 5: I love how we're all like, oh, we got an

693
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 5: answer here, we got an answer. We gotta answer here.

694
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 5: And as soon as someone makes a move it's tell over,

695
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 5: didn't see that coming.

696
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: Charles Davis and Daniel Jeremiah, who you've heard from earlier,

697
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: will be on NFL Network starting Thursday night, and we

698
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: look forward to their coverage our coverage against Thursday night

699
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: at six that's sixth Central Time from sixth and Peabody,

700
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: our coverage on Titan's Radio presented by Pinnacle, and we're

701
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: looking forward to having a great crew at six and

702
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: Peabody and Amy Wells and Ashley Ferrell both in Kansas City.

703
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: What is your role going to be during the draft

704
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: as you await the pick?

705
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 2: Well, so we are going we will be at the

706
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: red carpet before the draft even starts. You know how

707
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: I love to get in there and analyze everybody's outfits

708
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: and really take some time watching everybody as they show

709
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 2: up with their family and their head coaches from college,

710
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: and there's just a ton of pageantry and I'm here

711
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: for it. So we'll be doing that, and then we

712
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: will be in the media center in the workroom essentially

713
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: watching it on TV like everybody else, waiting for our

714
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 2: chance to pick. So we will just be kind of

715
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: hanging out, making sure that all of our stuff is

716
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: in order, and then once the pick happens, we're going

717
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 2: to meet up with them, assuming that they are one

718
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 2: of the players that are in Kansas City. We're gonna

719
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 2: do everything we can to meet up with them and

720
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: have conversations and bring Titans fans as much access to

721
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: what their experience is like as we possibly can. I

722
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 2: do have to say I'm pretty jealous. I'm not going

723
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 2: to be at sixth and Peabody because besides the like

724
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 2: yeeha and the old smoky of it, all those tacos man. Yeah,

725
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to hate on the NFL

726
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 2: Draft because that's not nice, and I'm so happy to

727
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: be here, but the food situation is consistently tragic. Like

728
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 2: I have never been to a draft and fell, oh

729
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: well fed.

730
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa you mean there's not good food in Kansas City.

731
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 2: There is good food in Kansas City. None of it

732
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 2: is for the media. So, like, do I just smell

733
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 2: barbecue as I'm walking through the streets of Kansas City. Absolutely,

734
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 2: I do. It's phenomenal. But on Draft night, when they

735
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 2: put all sports reporters, the hungry of genre of human

736
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 2: is sports reporters, they put them all in a room

737
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 2: and they bring out we'll say chicken fingers and put

738
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: them down. They're gone in twenty seconds. You don't stand

739
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 2: a chance. You better run and hide because you will

740
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: get run over before you will get a chicken finger.

741
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: So you end up eating like half a bag of

742
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 2: Frito's and you find a bottle of water on a

743
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 2: windowsill and just take it because it's probably hasn't been

744
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 2: touched yet, and that's what you're gonna eat for the night.

745
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 2: It is hard work. A lot of people have great

746
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: accommodations during the draft. The green room stocked with food.

747
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 2: All the best food you could want is in the

748
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 2: green room with the players. I do not have a

749
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 2: access to that. I have access to a single bag

750
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 2: of Freeto's, and that will be it for me.

751
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: Can you hear the tiny violins play?

752
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that this is a bad gig I have.

753
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: I am so excited to be here, I'm so fired

754
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: up for Thursday night. But when I think of those

755
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 2: white duck tacos at six and Peabody, my mouth starts

756
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: to water and I get very excited.

757
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: Yep, we're sorry you're going to miss him, Yeah.

758
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 2: Cause I know you'll eat it. But you're gonna eat

759
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: like ten in one night and it's mighty.

760
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: And I'll take pictures and put it on my new Instagram.

761
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 2: I know you will. Mike, you've been kissing the Instagram game.

762
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 2: I'm I am just blown away by your social media savvy.

763
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't know about that.

764
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 2: It's been great. You're a fun follow.

765
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: People have been very nice. Hey, I tell you who
