<v Speaker 1>Thomas Sports Park in Nashville. I am Mike Keith from

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>her luxurious Penthouse hotel room in Kansas City, site of

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the eighty eighth NFL Draft. Amy Wells Joints is. How

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:45.160
<v Speaker 1>are you, Amy?

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm great, Mike Keith. Not exactly the penthouse, but like

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 2>decently high up. I mean, we have a good view,

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 2>so I'll take it.

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>So the real name of the NFL Draft is the

0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Annual Selection Meeting. So it is formally the twenty twenty

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>three Annual Selection Meeting in Kansas City. Mode. What's the

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>vibe in Kansas City right now?

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 2>It's not as formal as Annual Selection Meeting implies. It's

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>definitely not that formal. But there is a buzz around

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 2>this city. There is a buzz just around the players.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>We had the opportunity to see them a little bit earlier. Today,

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>there are emotions that are all over the road. Guys

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.839
<v Speaker 2>were talking about everything from being very cool and chill

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>to being like very emotional about what this moment means.

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 2>So there's I mean, there's just an array of feelings.

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 2>But in terms of being in the city, there's definitely

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>an atmosphere here. There is definitely a buzz about what's

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 2>going on. I was in a ride share a couple

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>days ago and they were like, well, are you in

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City? You know there's a draft going on here?

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Is that what you came for? And I was like, yeah,

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess you could say that. I guess I came

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 2>here for the draft. And they're just very fired up

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>about They're very proud to be hosting this big NFL

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.559
<v Speaker 2>event in their city and that's fun to be around.

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Is there one main storyline that permeated through all of

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the players with whom you dealt.

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Today, Well, there was obviously there's the main storylines about

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>being approximately twenty four hours out. You know, everybody's getting

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 2>ready and there's a lot of conversation about how to

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>spend the time because after the community event this morning,

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 2>these prospects had a lot of free time between their

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>next event being the Red carpet show, which is right

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>before the actual draft starts. So how people are feeling

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>their free time, what they're doing, how they're kind of

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 2>shaking off the nerves. A lot of guys were discussing

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 2>that throughout the reporters. The storyline that everybody's talking about

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>is what in the world is going to happen with

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 2>these quarterbacks. It's just everybody has different opinions. Everybody has

0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.360
<v Speaker 2>a kind of a different different bend to what is

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 2>going to happen when teams are actually on the clock

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday. So it's an exciting place to be. There's

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of questions and frankly zero answers. We're not

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 2>going to know until tomorrow.

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>So there's seventeen players who are there. Yes, So theoretically,

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.239
<v Speaker 1>if all seventeen were to go in the first round,

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>which they probably won't, but if that happened, there would

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>be fourteen guys who are not there who would be selected.

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, we'll see if all seventeen go, but

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>it seems like a much smaller number of players in

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>person than in years past. Is that fair?

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 2>That is absolutely fair. I think that COVID really showed

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people that staying at home is okay

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, listen, ESPN, the NFL, all of these

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>work together to send cameras, they send people to whatever

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 2>location the top draft picks are going to be. The

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 2>guys are expected to go in the first round, whether

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>they are here in the green room or they are

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>having a watch party somewhere, are still going to get

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>that like moment. You know, it might not be walking

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>across the stage, but they'll get some sort of a

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 2>moment that will be televised and we all get the

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to watch it no matter where they are. But

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I think that the couple years of everybody staying back,

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years of everybody having the opportunity to

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>have you know, a kit mailed to them, as opposed

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 2>to making all of these travel plans and frankly risking

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>the chance of ending up sitting in the green room

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 2>and not getting picked all the way through night one

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>is kind of scary. And I think that that's something

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.359
<v Speaker 2>that some guys don't even want to take the chance.

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 2>And then there's some guys that genuinely just want to

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>be able to celebrate this moment with their family and

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 2>their friends and the people that they feel like help

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>them get here. So I think there's a lot of

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 2>things that kind of contribute to fewer guys coming out.

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:05.239
<v Speaker 2>I will say that the Commissioner, Roger Goodell was at

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 2>the community service event that we saw the prospects at today,

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and they were very excited to meet him. He was

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 2>a very popular man amongst the prospects. They all wanted

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 2>to shake his hand and make sure that they had

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity to interact with him before what they're hoping

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 2>is the big moment with the bear hugs and all

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>of that on the stage.

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Who of the players that you dealt with today, if

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>any impressed you.

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 2>They all were kind of impressive. I was very struck

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 2>by this class that everybody seemed very well spoken and

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 2>very thoughtful. There weren't too many people giving throwaway answers.

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 2>There weren't too many people who were just kind of

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 2>blowing off reporters, which can happen sometimes there's a lot

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.040
<v Speaker 2>of things going on and there's a lot of people around.

0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:03.039
<v Speaker 2>But nobody really was disinterested in having a conversation with you,

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>and I thought that that was very impressive. Will Levice

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 2>was fielding some questions that were a little tricky, and

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I think he handled that with grace, and I think

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.839
<v Speaker 2>that he was a good talker. Someone like Bijeon Robinson

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 2>was so excited to be interacting with the kids on

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 2>the field today. They did some like play football drills

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 2>and some flag football things, so he was clearly very

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 2>excited to be down on the field with everybody and

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>interacting with them. But I mean, really, there wasn't anybody

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.840
<v Speaker 2>that we spoke to that I was like, well, he

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't really like he was too cool for school. They

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 2>were all great. So I'm excited about this class, and

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited that of everyone that I was able to

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of watch and interact with, there wasn't a guy

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.279
<v Speaker 2>that'd be like, not that one. So that's good. That

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 2>makes me feel good.

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>All right. Draft Night Thursday night. Our coverage on Titan's

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:03.000

<v Speaker 1>draft for us there. We will be at sixth in

<v Speaker 1>I think it's going to be pretty wild at sixth

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and Peabody. I think our Titans nation is excited about

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>this draft and obviously too, there is excitement here after

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>what happened in Nashville last night. So we are heading

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>into draft day tomorrow with big mo I will say,

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>we're tired. We're running on excitement, We're running on caffeine.

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Are you running on duncan?

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>We're running on duncan, y'all. I'll get to that in

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the moment. But the bottom line is, I mean, there

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>is e motion and feeling in this building right now

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>because virtually every employee was there at the Metro Council

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>meeting last night to say we understand how big this

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>is for our organization. I mean, the discussion was this

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:46.439
<v Speaker 1>stadium issue. If it passes, tonight being last night, If

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 1>it passes, then this is one of the great moments

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.559
<v Speaker 1>in franchise history. And everybody wanted to be there for that,

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and everybody wanted to be there to support Burke night

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Hill and the people who really helped to pull this together.

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>And it was funny. We did not get in last night,

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>We did not get into the room for the public

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>hearing portion, But as the supportive speakers came out, they

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>got standing ovations and you should have seen the look

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>on their face. It was, you know, it was like

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>a ballgame. The other side was not ugly. There was

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>nothing that I saw between the two sides that ever

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:35.200
<v Speaker 1>got ugly. You certainly respect someone's opportunity to disagree with you,

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 1>you get that. And they had the points that they

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>felt were relevant. But in the end, from a political standpoint, Amy,

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>we knew the votes were there and so no matter

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>how long it took, in the end, the votes were there.

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>And now we are going to build a stadium with

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>a roof starting sometime in twenty twenty four, will break ground.

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Now, Mike I was a able to stream the meeting online.

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I watched it from Kansas City, but you were actually there,

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 2>you were able to be a part of that moment.

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm wondering if you could just describe kind of what

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.839
<v Speaker 2>it was like the lead up to it and then

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the actual vote. What were you guys feeling. What was

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 2>it like to be a part of something like that,

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Because you're one hundred percent right, this is a historical

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 2>moment for this franchise.

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>It really is. Let me say, first of all, I

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>was not in the room for the vote, okay, because

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>when they extended the public discussion period, I did not

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 1>know how long that was going to go. And right

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>now I'm doing a lot of things with our Titans

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 1>radio partners throughout the Mid South. I had one very

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>early this morning, so I couldn't make it to two

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>in the morning. I did that last week. I was

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>there for nine hours. Last week. I made it until

0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.559
<v Speaker 1>until eleven o'clock, and then I said, you know, I've

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>got a got to be away because I've just got

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>to be up so early, and what we have tomorrow

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and Friday and Saturday to do. You know, there's just

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 1>so much, So there wasn't going to be room for

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>all of us in the room anyway, and so that

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>probably worked out better for me. I'm kind of disappointed

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>because I would have liked to have been there for

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the moment, right, But I think you know, you know,

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>when you got a winner, and there had been such

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>tremendous organization. Kate Gara who works with us, had done

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>such a fantastic job, Savannah Howie who works with her,

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 1>had done a fantastic job. So many other people had

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>done had done big things at dulpho Birch with his

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>speech last night, he of course one of our leaders

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>in this organization, and there were just so many people

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 1>who had done a great job. You wanted to be

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 1>there to support them and to be excited for them,

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.079
<v Speaker 1>because to see them pull this off was a big deal.

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean from where we started with hey, let's refurbish

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Nissan Stadium to you're kidding me, it'll cost that, to

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 1>here's an idea for a new building, to here's the

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>way we're going to finance the whole thing together, to

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>now you've got to get it through Metro Council. I

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 1>mean it will when you see the vote totals. The

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 1>vote totals were substantial. It was a winner everywhere it went.

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Last night it was twenty six to twelve. You know,

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the process though, of making the sausage wasn't that easy

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.959
<v Speaker 1>because if that vote didn't clear last night, then they

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>were going to have to go back to the drawing

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.680
<v Speaker 1>board and basically start over in July, right, And so

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, there were a lot of procedural things that

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>had to go on again. Our side, the pro side,

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 1>had a winner, knew it had the votes. The other

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>side was hoping they could stall it. And if they could,

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 1>then procedurally it would have to go to July, and

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 1>between now and then, who knows what happens. Right time

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.439
<v Speaker 1>is beneficial when you're doing that kind of political fight.

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>But I think in the end, the thing that I

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>was so proud of is the way our organization handled everything.

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm very proud of the way they've structured this deal,

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>which I think is a great thing. The taxpayers won't

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.559
<v Speaker 1>pay the burden anymore, which is a great, great, great

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>thing for all of Davidson County. And the other part

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>of it, too is this venue is going to change

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the overall trajectory of the franchise again. And I saw

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the first one open. I know what it is done

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>for Nashville. I mean, I grew up in Middle Tennessee.

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I understand the full impact of it, and I think

0:13:56.080 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>this new stadium with a roof, with a translucent roof,

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 1>is going to totally revolutionize what Nashville is towards that

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 1>next level. And it's just mind boggling in how exciting

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 1>it is amy because I never thought I would get

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to see that happen again, and that has always been

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite parts of this journey, was to

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>see this thing hit and blow up the way it

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>did in such a cool way. And now it has.

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Now I have the chance to see it go again.

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm very fortunate, and I think everybody feels great here

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>today about the fact that you know, the plan was

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 1>a winner, and if you read the plan, you understood

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 1>it and you understood the terms, and everybody takes away

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 1>really good things out of this in the long term,

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 1>and I think twenty five years from now we'll be

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>saying the same thing we did about building Nissan Stadium

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>in the late nineties. This will something you'll say, Yeah,

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 1>this was a big time winner and we were lucky

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to have it.

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>So this is obviously a huge victory and this is

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 2>so exciting, but we still got to get a stadium here.

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 2>So what what are the next steps? Now? How do

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 2>we continue to get closer to this goal?

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a lot of the planning, a lot

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of the you know, who's going to do what. You've

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>got to bid a lot of jobs, and you've got

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>to figure out some more things in terms of specifics

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>with architecture. I mean, the first thing they obviously have

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 1>to do is make the press box as luxurious as possible.

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 2>We made to fill with food and great.

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean we've got to We've got to have

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>a conversation, right right, Probably not, but I mean you're

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 1>so you're doing all the details, you'll be getting materials in,

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 1>and the groundbreaking it would feel like would come about

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>this time next year. Uh, maybe a little earlier, maybe

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>a little later. The build is less than two and

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a half years in terms of what the feeling is.

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>And so this facility being and we've said it on

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the OTP all along, twenty twenty seven was always going

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 1>to be more likely, right, and that that was going

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to be the aim, and that's going to be the

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>aim of this amy that we're that we're pointed towards

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty seven season to give to give plenty of time.

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 1>And the reason for this is if you're in a hurry,

0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 1>costs escalate. If you can stay with the plan and

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 1>do everything the best way, you know how, you can

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>stay within your budget more properly. And I think that's

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent what they're going to try to do,

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's what the plan is. And you know,

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that's what's so exciting.

0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 2>It's like, if you're building a house, if you have

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 2>a time crunch and you need to get into that house,

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna do whatever it takes to get it done.

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 2>If you have time as you are building your home,

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you can you can give things a chance to breathe,

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 2>if you can get the appropriate equipment and tools that

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:06.680
<v Speaker 2>you need, and you don't necessarily have to go over

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:11.679
<v Speaker 2>budget because you're able to do things in a different timeline.

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're able to stick to the plan. Yeah, and

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you're not You're not like, oh gosh, we've got to

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, we've got to grab this material so quickly

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and we have to pay extra for it to get

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>it here. And you know that's Listen, anybody who knows

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.399
<v Speaker 1>about building anything knows. It's not an exact science. And

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sitting here saying, oh, it'll all just you know,

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>fold together. But I think the one thing you do

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>know is if you have time and a plan, you

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 1>are much more likely to be able to stay with it.

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Like when the building was built here in the late nineties,

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>they knew that thing had to be ready for the

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.399
<v Speaker 1>start of the ninety nine season because there was nowhere

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>else for the team to go right, and it was

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.120
<v Speaker 1>crazy what all was happening at the end. To try

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 1>to get it finished, you want to avoid that at

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 1>any way possible. You're also going to want to get

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the seat Geek app. Se Geek is now the official

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 1>ticketing partner of the Tennessee Titans. That's right, the deal

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 1>is finalized. Seat Geek is the newest member of the

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Titans family. If you haven't heard the name yet, get

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:17.800
<v Speaker 1>used to it, because you'll be hearing it a lot

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.960
<v Speaker 1>more this season. Whether you're buying or selling tickets to

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Titans games or any other live event in Nashville, Seat

<v Speaker 1>new official ticketing partner of the Tennessee Titans. So Titans

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 1>fans can feign more ticket information to come about the

0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Titans new stadium, that's for sure.

0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, there will be. There will be many updates,

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:43.919
<v Speaker 2>I am sure. But this is exciting. This is a

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.280
<v Speaker 2>big day for the Tennessee Titans. This is this is

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:47.360
<v Speaker 2>a victory day.

0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 1>And tomorrow heads off of big three days for the

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee Titans. As we get ready to get into the draft,

0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I am dying to know what Daniel Jeremiah and Charles Davis,

0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:03.919
<v Speaker 1>both of the Network think, Amy Wells, who would you

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.159
<v Speaker 1>like to share with us first, as you had a

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.359
<v Speaker 1>chance to talk with both of these gentlemen there in

0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City.

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, Mike Keith, I did have a chance to talk

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:13.720
<v Speaker 2>to both of them, and I think that we should

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 2>start with Daniel Jeremiah because I wanted to talk to

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.920
<v Speaker 2>him a man who has a lot of experience with

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 2>teams as a personnel person, and I wanted to talk

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 2>to him about some of the behind the scenes of

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 2>what is happening within those war rooms within the days

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.840
<v Speaker 2>leading up to the draft. So we talked a little little,

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, logistics, We talked about process, and I was

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.120
<v Speaker 2>trying to get a better understanding, and so I'm excited

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:48.360
<v Speaker 2>to share my conversation with Daniel Jeremiah with my friends

0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 2>here at the ANTE. Daniel Jeremiah, it feels like it's

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.120
<v Speaker 2>been a lifetime since the last time we talked to you,

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 2>you in Indianapolis at the scouting Combine, and I know

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things around the league has changed, and

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people's draft boards have changed from where

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.920
<v Speaker 2>we were in Indianapolis and some of the initial evaluations

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 2>that teams would have had to Now, how different are

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 2>draft boards? How different are teams setups? I'm asking you

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 2>procedural questions because you know a little bit better than

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:24.840
<v Speaker 2>anybody else.

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think that you know what's happened. Everybody always

0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 3>freaks out and they say, how does a player move

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 3>up or down? You haven't played any games. This is

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 3>the silly season. You're getting carried away with all the

0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.640
<v Speaker 3>wrong stuff. And then I would just point out, well,

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.240
<v Speaker 3>there's a couple of things. Number One, everybody in your building,

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 3>especially your coaches, haven't watched any of these players, so

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.520
<v Speaker 3>they're getting to the process late. That can impact whether

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.640
<v Speaker 3>they move up or down. Like, Hey, this guy's he's

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.240
<v Speaker 3>a good player. I agree with the scouts, but he

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.919
<v Speaker 3>doesn't fit us, so we'll move on. And then there's

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:56.120
<v Speaker 3>the fact you're gonna get medical information that's gonna help

0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.400
<v Speaker 3>some guys, it's gonna hurt some other guys. And then

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.920
<v Speaker 3>from the meeting process, right, you might you know, you

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.680
<v Speaker 3>might love a player on video, and then you bring

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 3>them into your building and you're like this is not

0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 3>gonna work, Like this is just not a fit. So

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 3>all those different factors, you know, go into the process,

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.080
<v Speaker 3>and that's why you see a board you know in

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 3>April might look.

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 4>A little different than the one you see in January.

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:20.879
<v Speaker 2>How much does the media play into that and those decisions.

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.399
<v Speaker 2>We know there's mock drafts. We know there's reports that

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 2>come out throughout the six to eight weeks in between

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.120
<v Speaker 2>workouts of the combine and everything in the draft. We

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:32.679
<v Speaker 2>know that there may or may not have been some

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.840
<v Speaker 2>news on Reddit the other night that exploded the Internet

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 2>for a couple hours. All of these things, do they

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 2>really play into the process or is it more just

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.720
<v Speaker 2>fun for those of us that are outside the war room.

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 4>I think it's.

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:48.679
<v Speaker 3>Fun for those outside the war room. This is an

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 3>old phrase. This is an old man's phrase. But I'll

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.159
<v Speaker 3>say doesn't amount to Hillebean's inside the draft room. So

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.120
<v Speaker 3>it just doesn't It doesn't carry any weight.

0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:56.920
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't matter.

0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:00.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, they might keep track of mock drafts to

0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:02.680
<v Speaker 3>just see if they get a general sense of where

0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 3>some players might go, but it's really not going to

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:08.160
<v Speaker 3>all their impact their thinking or their process as they

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:11.159
<v Speaker 3>get towards the draft. But makes our job fun and

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:12.879
<v Speaker 3>it gives us a lot of things to talk about

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:14.680
<v Speaker 3>and then you know, we'll see what happens.

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:17.879
<v Speaker 2>You've got to imagine that relationships are more what people

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.879
<v Speaker 2>are leaning on scouts. With relationships with people they know

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:24.919
<v Speaker 2>from other teams, former teams that they've been a part of,

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:28.520
<v Speaker 2>former co workers. That has to give a little more weight, right,

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:30.359
<v Speaker 2>those conversations and interactions.

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:33.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I think you talk to teams that have

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, you might have somebody that left your building

0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:39.159
<v Speaker 3>and he might have a relationship somewhere else. I mean,

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 3>it's a lot of third party information. But at the

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 3>end of the day, your job is to order the

0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:47.480
<v Speaker 3>players one to one fifty or whatever your number is

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 3>on your draft board, and it's paint by numbers.

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 4>Just if you if you're.

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Doing a fantasy football draft in your mom's kitchen with

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 3>your buddies from high school.

0:22:57.480 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 4>It's the exact same thing.

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.400
<v Speaker 3>You come up with your rank, you cross them off

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:03.640
<v Speaker 3>one by one as they get picked, and you take

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:05.160
<v Speaker 3>the best available player that's left.

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:08.320
<v Speaker 2>The Tennessee Titans have a new general manager and Ran Karthon,

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.120
<v Speaker 2>so there are some question marks around what the Titans

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 2>may or may not be doing. Picking at eleven, you

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:17.159
<v Speaker 2>have to think that he's enjoying this position because there

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 2>are so many avenues that he could go down, right.

0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think that they're you know, they're in

0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:23.639
<v Speaker 3>a in a process right now or in a period

0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 3>where feel I feel.

0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 4>Like they need bulk.

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:27.919
<v Speaker 3>They needed, they need an infusion of some talent, and

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 3>I think more is better than less. So there's talk

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:32.680
<v Speaker 3>of them moving up and maybe that's, you know, maybe

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:33.439
<v Speaker 3>that's where we end up.

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 4>Maybe CJ.

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Stroud doesn't go to and they invault all the way

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 3>up to three and take him. But to me, I

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:41.880
<v Speaker 3>think it almost makes more sense with where they are

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 3>that they they go the other way if they're.

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Going to move.

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.439
<v Speaker 2>As we're talking about these players and everything, there are

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:50.400
<v Speaker 2>always some surprises that we see in the twenty four

0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 2>ish hours leading up to the draft. We're in that

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 2>period right now. Are there any things that you are

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 2>keeping your eye on, Daniel Jeremiah as we get closer

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:00.080
<v Speaker 2>to the first round of the NFL.

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:01.439
<v Speaker 3>Dri Yeah, I think the you know, one of the

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 3>interesting things to me is is kind of the offensive

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 3>line run.

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 4>Like there's different runs.

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 3>I think the expectation is we're going to have an

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:08.400
<v Speaker 3>early offensive line run.

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:09.920
<v Speaker 4>So when does that start.

0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:12.879
<v Speaker 3>That's there's talk that Arizona could started at three and

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 3>so all of a sudden, now we're going to see

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 3>those offensive linemen fly off the board. And then the

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:19.720
<v Speaker 3>next thing to me is when the wide receiver run starts.

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I think obviously Tennessee factors into that

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 3>where they are. You look at Green Bays not far behind,

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:27.080
<v Speaker 3>they could be in a wide receiver team.

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 4>And then to me, the fun really is when you.

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Get to like twenty, Like when you get to twenty,

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:34.120
<v Speaker 3>you can make a case from twenty to thirty one,

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:36.520
<v Speaker 3>there's like seven teams that could be in the wide

0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:39.200
<v Speaker 3>receiver market. I think that's where what you were talking

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:41.400
<v Speaker 3>about earlier, having maybe a little bit of a knowledge

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:44.200
<v Speaker 3>of that this team likes this particular type of player.

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:46.439
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we can move up a few spots and make

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 3>sure we.

0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:47.440
<v Speaker 4>Secure our guy.

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of position groups that have a lot

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:53.360
<v Speaker 2>of depth this year. Tight Ends, offensive linemen, defensive backs.

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of places where there's depth for teams.

0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:59.040
<v Speaker 2>That's great news for players. Is that to their detriment

0:24:59.080 --> 0:24:59.560
<v Speaker 2>a little bit?

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 3>I want to be the only good player at my

0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:03.639
<v Speaker 3>position in the draft. I don't want to be in

0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 3>a crowded room full of great players at your position.

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 3>But there's still you know, when the premier positions ed, rusher, corner, defensively,

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:13.280
<v Speaker 3>it's a really deep group. But teams that are always

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 3>in need, so that's not gonna impact them. To me,

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:18.919
<v Speaker 3>it's probably gonna impact the tight ends, you know, just

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 3>because it's a really good group of tight ends. So

0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:24.120
<v Speaker 3>that to me is the group that might be negatively

0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:25.159
<v Speaker 3>impacted by the depth.

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:28.160
<v Speaker 2>What are you the most excited to see it? Round one?

0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 2>What question are you hoping gets answered on Thursday night?

0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 4>The heck are the Houston Texans gonna do?

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean with the second pick of the draft, Like

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 3>normally we have a pretty good feel. It's like, okay,

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:41.880
<v Speaker 3>you kind of just go auto like your brain goes

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 3>on autopilot, and it's like, okay, okay, we've made it

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 3>to pick eight. Okay, now we don't know so all right,

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 3>what happens? I don't know who the picking at number two,

0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:51.160
<v Speaker 3>so that's gonna make for a fun night.

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 2>We hope they pick someone who's not very good at football.

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 4>I figured you might be leaning in that direction.

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much, Daniel Jeremiah. We appreciate this time.

0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:06.399
<v Speaker 4>The Great Sea is always.

0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 1>That's Amy Wells with Daniel Jeremiah here on BOTP. I've

0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 1>got to mention this before we move on. Hey, Titans fans,

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to decide what's the best part of a

0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:20.400
<v Speaker 1>dunkin Run. Is it the coffee? Is it the one

0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:23.560
<v Speaker 1>dollar classic donut? Or the two dollars stuff mini bagels

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 1>they actually call them bagel minis or three dollars sausage,

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.880
<v Speaker 1>egg and cheese that you could add to that coffee,

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Or the fact that you get to leave the office.

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:37.600
<v Speaker 1>The answer is, of course, yes, it's time for a

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Dunkin run. Great deals on food for one, two or

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:45.439
<v Speaker 1>three dollars with a medium or larger coffee. America runs

0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 1>on Duncan right now, I am running on Duncan Andy

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Wells because I stayed up too late last night and

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:53.280

<v Speaker 1>able to listen to our draft coverage tomorrow night. All right,

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 1>So it was a tease. I like how you did it.

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 1>You went with Daniel Jeremiah's interview first and that was

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 1>a dandy. Now it's time to hear from our friend

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Charles Davis, who's covering another draft for NFL Network. Set

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:47.640
<v Speaker 1>it up if you will, please, Ammi wills Well.

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Charles Davis is someone who of course is a friend

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.360
<v Speaker 2>of the OTP. We talked to him a lot, and

0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:56.760
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking about it as I was preparing to,

0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, spend some time with him, and I realized

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:02.480
<v Speaker 2>the last time that we had talked to him was

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:06.639
<v Speaker 2>in Indianapolis at the scouting combine. So I figured that

0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:09.679
<v Speaker 2>I should just go back to the last conversation that

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:12.200
<v Speaker 2>we had had and pick up where we left off.

0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:16.280
<v Speaker 2>And we were talking quarterbacks when we last saw Charles Davis,

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 2>So it felt like that was a really good place

0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 2>to start today's conversation. Charles, when last we talked to

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:33.000
<v Speaker 2>you in Indianapolis at the combine, you said Bryce Young

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:36.000
<v Speaker 2>is the best quarterback in this draft, and no one

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 2>could convince you otherwise. A lot has happened between now

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 2>and then. I'm giving you the option to change your

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:44.400
<v Speaker 2>mind if you want to. Is Bryce Young still the

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:46.080
<v Speaker 2>top quarterback in this draft?

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 5>Amy, after further consideration and all these months later and

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 5>a lot of watching of tape and talking to people

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 5>and analyzing, He's still the best quarterback in this draft.

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:57.560
<v Speaker 5>For me. I told you then, it'd take a lot

0:28:57.600 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 5>to change my mind because I was forced up to

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:03.040
<v Speaker 5>cake a little bit the measure of him as a person.

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:07.160
<v Speaker 5>Spend some time and then watch him and observe him.

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:09.760
<v Speaker 5>I asked a GM a few years ago, why did

0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:12.760
<v Speaker 5>you pick this person for a draft one of the

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 5>other thirty one gms in the league, and he said,

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 5>because I needed an adult in the room. I'm not

0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 5>saying the other quarterbacks are on adults. That's not my point.

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure someone gonna go Charles David says, the oh

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 5>quarterbacks are an adult. I'm not saying that. But this

0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:28.719
<v Speaker 5>kid is an adult, even at a young age. I

0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 5>watched him do something one time, and I won't give

0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 5>it up because it's not fair to him. But he

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 5>did it where he made a decision that is a

0:29:36.520 --> 0:29:42.520
<v Speaker 5>twenty four seven three sixty five quarterback lifestyle decision. But

0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 5>he did with no fanfare. See if I had done

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 5>what he had done, I would have mad sure everybody

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 5>knew I did it because I wanted everybody to know

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:52.720
<v Speaker 5>I made the right decision. Watch me, He quietly made

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 5>the right decision and other people didn't figure it out

0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:57.240
<v Speaker 5>until much later.

0:29:57.400 --> 0:29:58.640
<v Speaker 4>Like where's Bryce?

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 5>I thought, But that's just him. That's what I sense

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 5>from him. Then when I watch him play, you know

0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 5>he does everything you need, throws it on time, on

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 5>the three to five step drop creates when he needs to.

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:15.520
<v Speaker 5>If he needs to pick up a first down with

0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 5>his feet, he can do that and sting you avoids

0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 5>big hits for the most part, most quarterbacks do. Jalen

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 5>Hurst took a monster hit last year, almost the real

0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:27.880
<v Speaker 5>Philadelphia season, and he's thicker, so people are scared of

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 5>This has every throw that you need to make in

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 5>the arsenal. But that doesn't mean he can throw through

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 5>the car wash and the ball comes out dry. He

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:38.560
<v Speaker 5>doesn't have the gun, but he's got every throw you need.

0:30:40.440 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 5>And we're getting less of this, but I think it

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:47.720
<v Speaker 5>still counts when you're old like I am. He Willie Anderson,

0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 5>the rest of the Alabama teammates played that bowl game

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 5>against Kansas State, not a college football playoff game and

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:57.959
<v Speaker 5>not ceremonial snaps. And he made a throw in that

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 5>game on a back side fitted over the top of

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:06.000
<v Speaker 5>a corner before he hits the pylon. That was as

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 5>good as an't throw I saw last year. And when

0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 5>I went back and watched it again and realized that

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:13.880
<v Speaker 5>corner he threw it over. It is probably a second

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 5>round pick, gonna be a starter in the NFL. Named

0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:19.960
<v Speaker 5>Julius Brents at Kansas State, who I love. This kid

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:22.720
<v Speaker 5>is the real deal. Makes very few bad decisions. I

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 5>saw one against LSU down near the goal line, very

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 5>late on the play. But you're not gonna find many

0:31:29.520 --> 0:31:31.240
<v Speaker 5>of those. So he's still my number one.

0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 1>C J.

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 5>Stroud was my number two. That didn't change. Hendon Hooker

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 5>became my number three, and if he hadn't hurt his knee,

0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:41.480
<v Speaker 5>we would have a major battle about who the number

0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:44.720
<v Speaker 5>three was. Anthony Richardson was my number four, and we'll

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:48.960
<v Speaker 5>love us my number five. Richardson give him a year,

0:31:49.560 --> 0:31:52.200
<v Speaker 5>but if you draft him, don't say we're gonna give

0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 5>him a year and then in game five you're playing.

0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 5>Patrick Mahomes is one of the few that sat out.

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 5>Carson Palmer sat out inire season. Stee McNair sat out

0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 5>pretty much two seasons. Chris Chandler right, Sometimes it does work,

0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 5>but I understand if you draft a kid high, it's

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.200
<v Speaker 5>hard to keep him on the bench. You know, the

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 5>person signing the checks tends to walk into meetings and

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 5>go so, how's the young man coming along? And that's

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:20.840
<v Speaker 5>usually code for I'd like to see him play.

0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Aside from the quarterback position. What other position group has

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 2>the most question marks going into Night one of the

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:30.120
<v Speaker 2>NFL Draft.

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 5>We don't have the linebackers we normally have, But I

0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:36.480
<v Speaker 5>think that that is part and parcel with the running

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:41.920
<v Speaker 5>backs because we're not a heavy run oriented football playing

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 5>group now, college or pro. The linebackers of the old

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 5>school guys with the big nick roles, the twurn and

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:51.080
<v Speaker 5>fifty five pounds, and they're not there anymore. They're pumped up,

0:32:51.120 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 5>strong safeties that are running around. But there's good players

0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 5>that's just maybe not in the first round, you know,

0:32:57.120 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 5>so it's not quite the same. I think interior offensive

0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:06.400
<v Speaker 5>line is similar. Osiris Torrence from Florida is probably the

0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 5>only guy I'm seeing recently mocked in the first round.

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:12.280
<v Speaker 5>Maybe a center if you like a center, like a

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 5>Joe Tipman from Wisconsin or John Michael Schmidt if you're

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 5>being real specific. But for the most part, interior offensive

0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 5>line not getting that kind of love. But I'm gonna

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 5>give you what I'm crazy about. That's Steve Avila from

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:28.640
<v Speaker 5>TCU guard center. I want to play him at center.

0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 5>I want to put him at center and let him

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:33.480
<v Speaker 5>beat people up and handle the big noses. Over the top.

0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 5>I love Steve Avila.

0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Is he your dark horses? He someone who could show

0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:40.360
<v Speaker 2>up a little bit earlier than what people are expecting.

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 5>I think so, especially once we start the run on

0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 5>offensive linemen inside. Heck, he might even be able to

0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:50.800
<v Speaker 5>find his way. Some people may like him better than Torrence.

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 5>He's a good player, but I know a lot of

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 5>people look at him as a guard. I like him

0:33:57.560 --> 0:33:59.120
<v Speaker 5>as a center. But that's just me.

0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:02.600
<v Speaker 2>That's your opinion is very valid, Charles Davis. That's that's

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:03.240
<v Speaker 2>why we're here.

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 5>As my dad was say, it's worth the paper it's

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:06.320
<v Speaker 5>printed on, Davis.

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 2>The Tennessee Titans are picking at eleven new general manager,

0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and Ran Carthon got to be a great spot for

0:34:13.280 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 2>him because there's so many different options at that number

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:16.840
<v Speaker 2>eleven position.

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:18.600
<v Speaker 5>Right, I can't wait to see Ran trade up to

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 5>three right out of the gate. Let's get this thing going.

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:24.840
<v Speaker 5>Brand new general manager. He's gonna pull a nuclear loosh

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:28.160
<v Speaker 5>from Bull Durham. He's gonna announce his presence with authority.

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.439
<v Speaker 5>Not just kidding, but let's be honest about it. It's

0:34:31.440 --> 0:34:33.920
<v Speaker 5>something that has been discussed. I'm not saying the Titans

0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:37.360
<v Speaker 5>have I'm just saying, all of us yacky yak yak. Right,

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 5>we're talking about this like crazy three with the Cardinals

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 5>is a prime spot. Who wants to go up and

0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:45.600
<v Speaker 5>get The person that they want is Anthony Richardson. The

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 5>one who's coveted is Will Levis. The one that's coveted

0:34:49.080 --> 0:34:52.319
<v Speaker 5>is CJ. Stroud, the one who knows I'm saying quarterback,

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:55.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't know that there's another player you're coming up

0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:57.640
<v Speaker 5>for to go all the way to three. We got

0:34:57.640 --> 0:35:00.600
<v Speaker 5>pooled a bunch of years ago. The same came way

0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:03.520
<v Speaker 5>up to twelve and we were like, what quarterback? And

0:35:03.600 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 5>they drafted Marcus was the Davenport out of Utsay we

0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 5>all want. Didn't see that one coming. So you never

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:12.960
<v Speaker 5>know how it goes. But here's the other part. What

0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 5>if some of these quarterbacks move back a little bit

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:19.319
<v Speaker 5>and now a quarterback or two is still sitting there

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:25.400
<v Speaker 5>at ten Right now, if you're Philadelphia, you're probably calling.

0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:29.919
<v Speaker 5>You're like, phone's open, we'll move back a couple still

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 5>get the probably the guy we want who wants to

0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:36.360
<v Speaker 5>make the deal. Then we can find out if Tennessee's

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 5>in really in the quarterback market at that point Are

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:42.040
<v Speaker 5>they in an offensive line market because they definitely need

0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:45.719
<v Speaker 5>offensive linemen. Tackles are gonna be the premium. Is that

0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:48.759
<v Speaker 5>where they go? Did they get the first bite at

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:52.440
<v Speaker 5>the receivers? Is it Jackson Smith and Jigba? Is it

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:55.279
<v Speaker 5>a speedier guy like a Zay Flowers? Who's more of us?

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:58.640
<v Speaker 5>But Smith and jigbaz A Flowers, Jordan Addison who I love.

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:02.560
<v Speaker 5>They're all mainly sli You want big, you gotta go

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:05.400
<v Speaker 5>to TCU and Quinn Johnston. And he's come out of

0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:08.759
<v Speaker 5>a heavy run offense, a lot of go routes, a

0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:12.520
<v Speaker 5>lot of post routes, a lot of overs, but the

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 5>route tree will have to be worked on. Reminds me

0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:20.000
<v Speaker 5>of Damarius Thomas come out Georgia Tech. Maybe because they

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:23.239
<v Speaker 5>were heavy option offense. He asked about twenty five thirty

0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:26.240
<v Speaker 5>yards a catch, but he became a really good route runner.

0:36:26.719 --> 0:36:29.960
<v Speaker 5>If you believe Quinn Johnson can do that, then he's

0:36:30.000 --> 0:36:30.960
<v Speaker 5>a guy keep an eye on.

0:36:31.480 --> 0:36:32.279
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be fun.

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:33.640
<v Speaker 5>Oh, it's gonna be fun.

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:36.279
<v Speaker 5>I love how we're all like, oh, we got an

0:36:36.320 --> 0:36:37.960
<v Speaker 5>answer here, we got an answer. We gotta answer here.

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:41.640
<v Speaker 5>And as soon as someone makes a move it's tell over,

0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:43.280
<v Speaker 5>didn't see that coming.

0:36:52.080 --> 0:36:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Charles Davis and Daniel Jeremiah, who you've heard from earlier,

0:36:56.320 --> 0:37:00.120
<v Speaker 1>will be on NFL Network starting Thursday night, and we

0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:03.239
<v Speaker 1>look forward to their coverage our coverage against Thursday night

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:08.120
<v Speaker 1>at six that's sixth Central Time from sixth and Peabody,

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>our coverage on Titan's Radio presented by Pinnacle, and we're

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:15.880
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to having a great crew at six and

0:37:16.000 --> 0:37:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Peabody and Amy Wells and Ashley Ferrell both in Kansas City.

0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:25.080
<v Speaker 1>What is your role going to be during the draft

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:26.560
<v Speaker 1>as you await the pick?

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:29.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, so we are going we will be at the

0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:32.680
<v Speaker 2>red carpet before the draft even starts. You know how

0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:35.560
<v Speaker 2>I love to get in there and analyze everybody's outfits

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 2>and really take some time watching everybody as they show

0:37:39.160 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 2>up with their family and their head coaches from college,

0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and there's just a ton of pageantry and I'm here

0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:49.120
<v Speaker 2>for it. So we'll be doing that, and then we

0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:53.640
<v Speaker 2>will be in the media center in the workroom essentially

0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:58.279
<v Speaker 2>watching it on TV like everybody else, waiting for our

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:01.160
<v Speaker 2>chance to pick. So we will just be kind of

0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:03.600
<v Speaker 2>hanging out, making sure that all of our stuff is

0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:06.600
<v Speaker 2>in order, and then once the pick happens, we're going

0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:08.879
<v Speaker 2>to meet up with them, assuming that they are one

0:38:08.920 --> 0:38:11.919
<v Speaker 2>of the players that are in Kansas City. We're gonna

0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:13.880
<v Speaker 2>do everything we can to meet up with them and

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 2>have conversations and bring Titans fans as much access to

0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:21.799
<v Speaker 2>what their experience is like as we possibly can. I

0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:24.479
<v Speaker 2>do have to say I'm pretty jealous. I'm not going

0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:27.960
<v Speaker 2>to be at sixth and Peabody because besides the like

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:35.040
<v Speaker 2>yeeha and the old smoky of it, all those tacos man. Yeah,

0:38:35.080 --> 0:38:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't want to hate on the NFL

0:38:39.440 --> 0:38:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Draft because that's not nice, and I'm so happy to

0:38:41.880 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 2>be here, but the food situation is consistently tragic. Like

0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I have never been to a draft and fell, oh

0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:51.440
<v Speaker 2>well fed.

0:38:52.120 --> 0:38:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Whoa, whoa you mean there's not good food in Kansas City.

0:38:55.480 --> 0:38:59.439
<v Speaker 2>There is good food in Kansas City. None of it

0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:04.160
<v Speaker 2>is for the media. So, like, do I just smell

0:39:04.360 --> 0:39:07.799
<v Speaker 2>barbecue as I'm walking through the streets of Kansas City. Absolutely,

0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:12.919
<v Speaker 2>I do. It's phenomenal. But on Draft night, when they

0:39:12.920 --> 0:39:17.320
<v Speaker 2>put all sports reporters, the hungry of genre of human

0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:20.920
<v Speaker 2>is sports reporters, they put them all in a room

0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 2>and they bring out we'll say chicken fingers and put

0:39:25.760 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 2>them down. They're gone in twenty seconds. You don't stand

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:31.120
<v Speaker 2>a chance. You better run and hide because you will

0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:33.440
<v Speaker 2>get run over before you will get a chicken finger.

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:37.160
<v Speaker 2>So you end up eating like half a bag of

0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Frito's and you find a bottle of water on a

0:39:40.840 --> 0:39:44.239
<v Speaker 2>windowsill and just take it because it's probably hasn't been

0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:46.879
<v Speaker 2>touched yet, and that's what you're gonna eat for the night.

0:39:47.000 --> 0:39:50.719
<v Speaker 2>It is hard work. A lot of people have great

0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 2>accommodations during the draft. The green room stocked with food.

0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:57.360
<v Speaker 2>All the best food you could want is in the

0:39:57.400 --> 0:39:59.800
<v Speaker 2>green room with the players. I do not have a

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 2>access to that. I have access to a single bag

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:05.400
<v Speaker 2>of Freeto's, and that will be it for me.

0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Can you hear the tiny violins play?

0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that this is a bad gig I have.

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I am so excited to be here, I'm so fired

0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:19.520
<v Speaker 2>up for Thursday night. But when I think of those

0:40:19.600 --> 0:40:24.720
<v Speaker 2>white duck tacos at six and Peabody, my mouth starts

0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:27.640
<v Speaker 2>to water and I get very excited.

0:40:28.160 --> 0:40:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Yep, we're sorry you're going to miss him, Yeah.

0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Cause I know you'll eat it. But you're gonna eat

0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:35.600
<v Speaker 2>like ten in one night and it's mighty.

0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:39.440
<v Speaker 1>And I'll take pictures and put it on my new Instagram.

0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I know you will. Mike, you've been kissing the Instagram game.

0:40:43.360 --> 0:40:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm I am just blown away by your social media savvy.

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about that.

0:40:48.400 --> 0:40:51.000
<v Speaker 2>It's been great. You're a fun follow.

0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:54.839
