Actually, name Patrick's say, 7 00:00:40,068 --> 00:00:44,148 Speaker 1: Name Patrick's say. Jason mccordy, James Palmer, Kyle Brandt. We're 8 00:00:44,188 --> 00:00:46,708 Speaker 1: having a great time here. It is time now for 9 00:00:46,948 --> 00:00:50,708 Speaker 1: the lead block, and we want to start immediately with 10 00:00:50,788 --> 00:00:54,068 Speaker 1: some news out of New England. Tom Pellisero, you got 11 00:00:54,068 --> 00:00:56,708 Speaker 1: top Billy, you got this scoop over Jason mccordy today, 12 00:00:56,748 --> 00:01:00,428 Speaker 1: what is the apist with the Patriots? Yeah, right, Sarah 13 00:01:00,468 --> 00:01:04,388 Speaker 1: In Patriots news not reported by Jason mccordy, New England 14 00:01:04,388 --> 00:01:07,548 Speaker 1: has agreed to terms with tight end Mike Gisicki on 15 00:01:07,628 --> 00:01:11,188 Speaker 1: a one year deal worth up to nine million dollars. 16 00:01:11,308 --> 00:01:14,948 Speaker 1: Kausiki played last season for the Dolphins on the franchise tag. 17 00:01:15,268 --> 00:01:17,628 Speaker 1: His numbers were down, the fit wasn't necessarily there with 18 00:01:17,668 --> 00:01:20,748 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's offense, so he still ended up scoring five touchdowns. 19 00:01:20,988 --> 00:01:24,628 Speaker 1: We know that the Patriots value their tight ends. Kisiki 20 00:01:25,028 --> 00:01:28,508 Speaker 1: now joins that room. In other news from last night, 21 00:01:28,668 --> 00:01:31,788 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew is headed to the Colts and quite possibly 22 00:01:31,788 --> 00:01:35,588 Speaker 1: could start the season as their starting quarterback after agreeing 23 00:01:35,668 --> 00:01:38,548 Speaker 1: to terms on a one year deal where three point 24 00:01:38,588 --> 00:01:41,628 Speaker 1: five million dollars with upside now. Of course, Minshew has 25 00:01:41,628 --> 00:01:44,148 Speaker 1: a relationship with the colts new head coach Shane Steiken. 26 00:01:44,348 --> 00:01:47,468 Speaker 1: They were together in Philadelphia. The Colts also owned the 27 00:01:47,548 --> 00:01:50,228 Speaker 1: number four overall picks, so if they end up wanting 28 00:01:50,308 --> 00:01:52,468 Speaker 1: a veteran to hold down the ford who knows the 29 00:01:52,508 --> 00:01:55,628 Speaker 1: offense while they get that rookie ready, it's very well 30 00:01:55,668 --> 00:01:58,508 Speaker 1: could be Minshew in the starting lineup. He of course, 31 00:01:58,588 --> 00:02:01,668 Speaker 1: was with the Eagles last season. The Eagles replaced him 32 00:02:01,668 --> 00:02:04,068 Speaker 1: as Dalen Hurts backup by agreeing to a one year 33 00:02:04,108 --> 00:02:08,788 Speaker 1: deal with Marcus Mariota. Guys, thanks Tom. Yesterday, the Lions 34 00:02:08,828 --> 00:02:11,828 Speaker 1: signed unrestricted free agent running back David Montgomery to a 35 00:02:11,908 --> 00:02:14,668 Speaker 1: contract that's according to an rap import and Tom who 36 00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:17,468 Speaker 1: you just saw it, to three year deal worth eighteen million. 37 00:02:17,588 --> 00:02:21,548 Speaker 1: Here's Montgomery. I'm getting to run behind a very talented 38 00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:27,188 Speaker 1: Detroit offensive line. Yeah, you salivate a little bit. You 39 00:02:27,228 --> 00:02:30,068 Speaker 1: get three Pro Bowls on old line and them having 40 00:02:30,148 --> 00:02:33,708 Speaker 1: high expectations for themselves and me having high expectations from myself. 41 00:02:33,788 --> 00:02:36,028 Speaker 1: That are all. It'll be really good. And being able 42 00:02:36,068 --> 00:02:38,188 Speaker 1: to have a great room, you know, being able to 43 00:02:38,228 --> 00:02:41,828 Speaker 1: have Craig Reynold's feeback on Jamar and being able to 44 00:02:41,868 --> 00:02:43,948 Speaker 1: play with Swift two would be nice. And I came 45 00:02:43,988 --> 00:02:45,988 Speaker 1: from a great running back room and I'm walking right 46 00:02:45,988 --> 00:02:48,148 Speaker 1: back into one, So I'm excited to kind of get 47 00:02:48,148 --> 00:02:51,588 Speaker 1: around those guys and play football. There's lots of exciting 48 00:02:51,628 --> 00:02:54,308 Speaker 1: things happening in the NFC North right now. Players come 49 00:02:54,348 --> 00:02:56,988 Speaker 1: into the division, other players on their way out of 50 00:02:56,988 --> 00:02:58,908 Speaker 1: the division. I'm not sure if you've heard about that one. 51 00:02:59,308 --> 00:03:03,348 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers on the move, David Montgomery going all Pavlov's 52 00:03:03,388 --> 00:03:06,148 Speaker 1: dog over a new offensive line. He should. So what 53 00:03:06,268 --> 00:03:08,988 Speaker 1: has you salivating over the NFC North, Kyle, What a 54 00:03:08,988 --> 00:03:11,108 Speaker 1: great question. We don't talk a lot of saliva here 55 00:03:11,148 --> 00:03:13,868 Speaker 1: on the show, but thank you David Montgomery. Right, I 56 00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:16,508 Speaker 1: salivate when I'm gonna eat a food that I've not 57 00:03:16,548 --> 00:03:18,388 Speaker 1: eaten in a long time, Like maybe you just go 58 00:03:18,428 --> 00:03:20,028 Speaker 1: to one of your favorite restaurants a couple of times 59 00:03:20,068 --> 00:03:21,708 Speaker 1: a year and you get your favorite dish and it 60 00:03:21,708 --> 00:03:24,108 Speaker 1: comes out and just get ready, I am so excited 61 00:03:24,148 --> 00:03:26,828 Speaker 1: that I'm excited about the Detroit Lions. I'm salivant. Are 62 00:03:26,868 --> 00:03:29,468 Speaker 1: the Lions? Love? The Detroit Lions, in my opinion, were 63 00:03:29,468 --> 00:03:31,708 Speaker 1: a top five team in the NFL at the end 64 00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:34,868 Speaker 1: of the regular season last year. Top five. They were 65 00:03:35,028 --> 00:03:37,068 Speaker 1: the team that do not let them in the turn 66 00:03:37,348 --> 00:03:39,308 Speaker 1: that they'll start knocking them out. Everything was fun. They 67 00:03:39,308 --> 00:03:43,108 Speaker 1: won eight of ten games. This whole beautiful storyline where 68 00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:45,748 Speaker 1: Rogers one last ride with the Packers at Lambo and 69 00:03:45,788 --> 00:03:49,028 Speaker 1: the beautiful majesty of late December, and the Lions smacked 70 00:03:49,068 --> 00:03:51,068 Speaker 1: them like they did the last time that they played them. 71 00:03:51,108 --> 00:03:54,228 Speaker 1: They beat the Packers twice. This big reason Rogers didn't 72 00:03:54,308 --> 00:03:56,788 Speaker 1: end with this fairy tale. But enough about Rodgers. Jared 73 00:03:56,828 --> 00:03:59,628 Speaker 1: Goff was one of the most consistent, best performing quarterbacks 74 00:03:59,628 --> 00:04:01,428 Speaker 1: down the Strets and the whole NFC. Guys, we did 75 00:04:01,428 --> 00:04:04,668 Speaker 1: a list of top five quarterbacks yesterday. The NFC couple 76 00:04:04,708 --> 00:04:06,828 Speaker 1: you guys had Golf in the top five. Rights do 77 00:04:06,908 --> 00:04:11,228 Speaker 1: you have him to Jay? It's incredible? And how about 78 00:04:11,268 --> 00:04:13,868 Speaker 1: the other thirty one scare them. This is a Lions time. 79 00:04:13,868 --> 00:04:15,948 Speaker 1: We're talking about the Lions right now. I'm so excited 80 00:04:15,988 --> 00:04:18,668 Speaker 1: to see another year of this regime of Dan Campbell. 81 00:04:18,668 --> 00:04:20,668 Speaker 1: It's not a joke. It's not about biting kneecapps. It's 82 00:04:20,668 --> 00:04:22,748 Speaker 1: not about hard knocks. It is about beating really good 83 00:04:22,748 --> 00:04:25,788 Speaker 1: teams and games that matter, and everything says playoffs next year, 84 00:04:25,868 --> 00:04:28,148 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, playoffs. James, It's fun to say. You don't 85 00:04:28,148 --> 00:04:30,028 Speaker 1: get to say it much. And I'm going to continue 86 00:04:30,108 --> 00:04:33,588 Speaker 1: the Lions salivation because what I like and it's a 87 00:04:33,588 --> 00:04:35,908 Speaker 1: completely you know, the other side of the ball that 88 00:04:35,948 --> 00:04:38,868 Speaker 1: I'm focused on. Yes, this was a top five offense 89 00:04:38,908 --> 00:04:42,308 Speaker 1: with Jared Goff in almost every statistical category. On the 90 00:04:42,348 --> 00:04:44,668 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, let's go through this. Last 91 00:04:44,748 --> 00:04:47,428 Speaker 1: in total defense twenty eighth and scoring twenty ninth against 92 00:04:47,468 --> 00:04:50,188 Speaker 1: the run, thirtieth against the past, thirtieth on third down, 93 00:04:50,228 --> 00:04:53,308 Speaker 1: and last in yards per play. So what have they 94 00:04:53,348 --> 00:04:56,508 Speaker 1: done during this free agency period? This is what has 95 00:04:56,548 --> 00:04:59,268 Speaker 1: me salivating. You fix a secondary that was one of 96 00:04:59,268 --> 00:05:02,028 Speaker 1: the worst in all of football. I think bringing in 97 00:05:02,108 --> 00:05:04,908 Speaker 1: Cameron Sutton is huge. Love it. I think that was 98 00:05:04,948 --> 00:05:07,268 Speaker 1: a great move. It's a versatile corner that can play 99 00:05:07,308 --> 00:05:09,828 Speaker 1: inside and now can cover backs, can cover tight ends, 100 00:05:09,988 --> 00:05:12,788 Speaker 1: can also play on the outside. And then you team 101 00:05:12,868 --> 00:05:17,268 Speaker 1: him up with his former college teammate in Emmanuel Moseley. 102 00:05:17,348 --> 00:05:19,828 Speaker 1: They played together at Tennessee. I think that's a sneaky 103 00:05:19,868 --> 00:05:21,948 Speaker 1: good pickup because remember how good he was playing in 104 00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:26,188 Speaker 1: San Francisco before the ACL happened early this season. That's 105 00:05:26,228 --> 00:05:30,268 Speaker 1: two corners now that change your secondary, and bringing back 106 00:05:30,268 --> 00:05:32,228 Speaker 1: a couple of guys up front as well that they 107 00:05:32,228 --> 00:05:35,268 Speaker 1: thought were playing better. I think if this defense plays well, 108 00:05:35,428 --> 00:05:38,188 Speaker 1: we're talking about a holding Lions team, a whole new 109 00:05:38,228 --> 00:05:40,548 Speaker 1: team that could take over this entire division with Aaron 110 00:05:40,628 --> 00:05:42,748 Speaker 1: Rodgers leaving. I look at all of that. The only 111 00:05:42,788 --> 00:05:44,948 Speaker 1: thing that the Lions did that makes me scratch my 112 00:05:45,028 --> 00:05:47,708 Speaker 1: head is bringing in sorry to say, I know you're 113 00:05:47,708 --> 00:05:51,308 Speaker 1: salivating David Montgomery, but the David Montgomery move, you're paying 114 00:05:51,428 --> 00:05:54,588 Speaker 1: him two million dollars more per year than what Jamal 115 00:05:54,628 --> 00:05:58,068 Speaker 1: Williams signed for in New Orleans. In terms of everything 116 00:05:58,068 --> 00:06:00,828 Speaker 1: that Jamal Wings brings to the table, I don't know 117 00:06:00,868 --> 00:06:03,268 Speaker 1: if it's a step up in terms of the locker room. 118 00:06:03,268 --> 00:06:06,228 Speaker 1: In terms of that move. To act my head a 119 00:06:06,228 --> 00:06:07,868 Speaker 1: little bit, but the other ones on the defensive side 120 00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:10,308 Speaker 1: of the ball got me excited over the Lions. If 121 00:06:10,308 --> 00:06:13,308 Speaker 1: they play even okay defense, it's a different team. Yeah, 122 00:06:13,308 --> 00:06:15,428 Speaker 1: for sure. Kirby Joseph their safety as a guy, we 123 00:06:15,508 --> 00:06:17,348 Speaker 1: talked about a lot this year in the plays that 124 00:06:17,428 --> 00:06:19,948 Speaker 1: he was making Lions a lot to be excited for. 125 00:06:20,348 --> 00:06:24,188 Speaker 1: I'm going to Chicago. I'm excited for this possible dynamic 126 00:06:24,268 --> 00:06:27,868 Speaker 1: duel of Justin Fields and DJ Moore and these two 127 00:06:27,868 --> 00:06:30,508 Speaker 1: guys getting a chance to team up. DJ Moore talked 128 00:06:30,548 --> 00:06:33,068 Speaker 1: about he said, I'm getting a sustained quarterback, a guy 129 00:06:33,108 --> 00:06:34,988 Speaker 1: I know that's gonna be there a weekend and week 130 00:06:35,028 --> 00:06:38,508 Speaker 1: out year after year. DJ Moore coming over from the 131 00:06:38,588 --> 00:06:42,108 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, has had three seasons over a thousand yards. 132 00:06:42,308 --> 00:06:44,228 Speaker 1: And you look at the Chicago Bears. We talked about 133 00:06:44,228 --> 00:06:46,388 Speaker 1: it last year for Justin Fields, he just didn't have 134 00:06:46,428 --> 00:06:49,228 Speaker 1: a ton of weapons. One hundred and twenty one receptions 135 00:06:49,268 --> 00:06:51,468 Speaker 1: from the receivers last year. That was the fewest in 136 00:06:51,508 --> 00:06:54,668 Speaker 1: the entire NFL. So I can't wait to watch these 137 00:06:54,708 --> 00:06:57,028 Speaker 1: two and how they work together. Saw them and other 138 00:06:57,068 --> 00:07:00,468 Speaker 1: receivers at the Chicago Bulls game this weekend, and you 139 00:07:00,588 --> 00:07:02,588 Speaker 1: start to think it was just all right, they can 140 00:07:02,668 --> 00:07:05,628 Speaker 1: form a dynamic duo, just like, all right, they formed 141 00:07:05,628 --> 00:07:08,948 Speaker 1: this duel in Chicago, Like where could they possibly rank 142 00:07:09,428 --> 00:07:13,348 Speaker 1: of duels that come from the city of Chicago. So 143 00:07:13,388 --> 00:07:16,308 Speaker 1: I started to think to myself, let me come up 144 00:07:16,348 --> 00:07:23,428 Speaker 1: with a top five list of Chicago duels and bandits. 145 00:07:23,988 --> 00:07:26,388 Speaker 1: Harry and Mark they became the Sticky Bandits once they 146 00:07:26,428 --> 00:07:28,868 Speaker 1: got to New York right here, and they just kept 147 00:07:28,868 --> 00:07:31,628 Speaker 1: the water running to let you know they were the ones. 148 00:07:31,828 --> 00:07:34,988 Speaker 1: And then you have Patrick Kane and Jonathan Tays. These 149 00:07:35,028 --> 00:07:38,628 Speaker 1: guys won three Stanley Cups and they were dominant for 150 00:07:38,828 --> 00:07:42,628 Speaker 1: sixteen seasons together. Yes, a deep dive into my hockey 151 00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:46,948 Speaker 1: knowledge to appreciate it. Walter Payton and Matt Suey best friends, 152 00:07:47,148 --> 00:07:50,148 Speaker 1: was in the same backfield in Chicago for eight seasons, 153 00:07:50,348 --> 00:07:53,628 Speaker 1: mattively the fullback leading away and we obviously know Walter 154 00:07:53,708 --> 00:07:56,908 Speaker 1: Payin just amazing running back, even better person. And then 155 00:07:56,948 --> 00:08:00,348 Speaker 1: you see down there a number two family Matters Chicago 156 00:08:00,388 --> 00:08:03,148 Speaker 1: based Shaw. I watch it every morning as I'm getting ready. 157 00:08:03,228 --> 00:08:07,828 Speaker 1: Steve Urkel and Laura wins over love hate relationship. I mean, 158 00:08:07,868 --> 00:08:10,068 Speaker 1: I don't know if it gets any better. My kids now, 159 00:08:10,228 --> 00:08:12,828 Speaker 1: I even forced them to watch Family Matters just so 160 00:08:12,908 --> 00:08:15,068 Speaker 1: they can see a reference point why Dad is the 161 00:08:15,068 --> 00:08:20,828 Speaker 1: way it is? Kay? What circles catch? First? Did I do? Matt? Absolutely? 162 00:08:22,228 --> 00:08:24,748 Speaker 1: You know? And then obviously at the bottom of the list, 163 00:08:25,028 --> 00:08:27,948 Speaker 1: m J and Pittan, I mean those guys six finals. 164 00:08:27,988 --> 00:08:31,788 Speaker 1: It just doesn't get any better as awesome Chicago Suburbs. 165 00:08:31,788 --> 00:08:33,828 Speaker 1: This was for you, this list I came up. I 166 00:08:33,908 --> 00:08:35,748 Speaker 1: just wanted to back that Matt Suey was set on 167 00:08:35,748 --> 00:08:37,628 Speaker 1: the air today. I love Matt Suey. I think it 168 00:08:37,708 --> 00:08:41,268 Speaker 1: is probably the last combination of fullback running back that 169 00:08:41,468 --> 00:08:45,108 Speaker 1: both had mustaches. You don't see that Matt Suey had 170 00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:46,948 Speaker 1: a wicked mustache. He got a neck roll as a 171 00:08:47,028 --> 00:08:50,548 Speaker 1: Penn State just absolutely badass. That's a great, great list, Jack, 172 00:08:50,868 --> 00:08:53,908 Speaker 1: that's a phrasing. It follow that Sarah's tough. You got 173 00:08:53,988 --> 00:08:57,548 Speaker 1: a top five Green Bay people. That is tough. No, 174 00:08:57,708 --> 00:09:00,548 Speaker 1: I'm salivating over the Chicago Bears in their future, and 175 00:09:00,588 --> 00:09:02,708 Speaker 1: not for the people that they added, but for who 176 00:09:02,948 --> 00:09:04,868 Speaker 1: is no longer in the division. And you remember that 177 00:09:04,908 --> 00:09:06,788 Speaker 1: scene in Shawshank Redemption, because you know what a ton 178 00:09:06,828 --> 00:09:09,268 Speaker 1: TV you can never not want and he's and you 179 00:09:09,348 --> 00:09:11,508 Speaker 1: do frames crawling through the sewer system and he gets 180 00:09:11,508 --> 00:09:13,428 Speaker 1: out of the sewer system and he's got the arm 181 00:09:13,468 --> 00:09:15,668 Speaker 1: Thank you, Jake. He's got the arms out, the rains 182 00:09:15,668 --> 00:09:18,068 Speaker 1: falling down him, and he's finally free. And I feel 183 00:09:18,108 --> 00:09:20,508 Speaker 1: like that is what this week is like for Chicago. 184 00:09:20,708 --> 00:09:23,388 Speaker 1: This sands with the biggest thorn ever in their sides 185 00:09:23,548 --> 00:09:25,588 Speaker 1: in Aaron Rodgers. And you know when I just started 186 00:09:25,588 --> 00:09:28,468 Speaker 1: thinking of you know, when a player, a franchise player, 187 00:09:28,548 --> 00:09:30,508 Speaker 1: leaves a town, you do the thing in the newspaper, 188 00:09:30,628 --> 00:09:32,908 Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers should do the thing if we take 189 00:09:32,908 --> 00:09:36,188 Speaker 1: out the act. How awesome and petty and incredible to 190 00:09:36,308 --> 00:09:38,828 Speaker 1: be if he took one out in Chicago and just 191 00:09:38,868 --> 00:09:43,828 Speaker 1: said you're welcome Chicago, how great mic drop I own you? 192 00:09:44,588 --> 00:09:46,828 Speaker 1: And his last line, I no longer own you. I mean, 193 00:09:46,988 --> 00:09:51,028 Speaker 1: how awesome for sale if he corrects. Would you think 194 00:09:51,068 --> 00:09:53,228 Speaker 1: the Chicago Tribune would have an obligation to say no 195 00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:55,548 Speaker 1: despite the monetary offer he would make in the state 196 00:09:55,548 --> 00:09:58,108 Speaker 1: of newspapers, or should they stick to their journalism and 197 00:09:58,148 --> 00:10:00,628 Speaker 1: say no, we're not running that, Aaron Aaron, or do 198 00:10:00,708 --> 00:10:02,268 Speaker 1: they just have to do it? I don't know what 199 00:10:02,308 --> 00:10:08,508 Speaker 1: the rights the I think ad sales or ad sales. Yeah, right, 200 00:10:08,948 --> 00:10:11,468 Speaker 1: but I wonder if people would just like storm the offices. 201 00:10:11,708 --> 00:10:13,308 Speaker 1: You can't, you can't put that in there. It'd be 202 00:10:13,308 --> 00:10:15,548 Speaker 1: pretty cool, it will be can you imagine, though, No, 203 00:10:15,828 --> 00:10:18,028 Speaker 1: that's what you can distribute leaflets if you'd like. On 204 00:10:18,068 --> 00:10:20,388 Speaker 1: every course. He's right to do that. I just have 205 00:10:20,428 --> 00:10:22,948 Speaker 1: to say, just be when when during the far Verra 206 00:10:23,188 --> 00:10:24,468 Speaker 1: I would talk to my dad all the time, and 207 00:10:24,508 --> 00:10:26,228 Speaker 1: far but I was kicked the crap out of the piers, 208 00:10:26,428 --> 00:10:28,508 Speaker 1: and my dad would always say, Man, we got to 209 00:10:28,548 --> 00:10:29,948 Speaker 1: get this far bout of here and then we could 210 00:10:29,948 --> 00:10:32,748 Speaker 1: probably win. We could once far leaves will be fine. 211 00:10:32,988 --> 00:10:36,388 Speaker 1: That was eighteen years ago. It's been even worse since then. 212 00:10:36,548 --> 00:10:38,748 Speaker 1: So this thing where we just got to get Rogers 213 00:10:38,748 --> 00:10:40,708 Speaker 1: out of here, then we can be very careful. We 214 00:10:40,708 --> 00:10:42,268 Speaker 1: don't know what we're getting from the store in love. 215 00:10:42,268 --> 00:10:43,988 Speaker 1: It'll probably be a first ballot guy. The way they 216 00:10:44,028 --> 00:11:03,988 Speaker 1: go boys the Ferrari. If you listen to some we 217 00:11:04,108 --> 00:11:06,588 Speaker 1: are so happy to be welcoming back.

I'm sure it's an episode also 230 00:11:45,708 --> 00:11:49,108 Speaker 1: that we hope that we're not doing a few years 231 00:11:49,108 --> 00:11:51,548 Speaker 1: from now. Frankly, we hope that it's so commonplace have 232 00:11:51,628 --> 00:11:53,908 Speaker 1: women in football that it's not a novelty, that it's 233 00:11:53,948 --> 00:11:57,548 Speaker 1: nothing special. But we've done some really special, really incredible 234 00:11:57,588 --> 00:12:02,148 Speaker 1: pieces about powerful women in the NFL, head of security, coaches, 235 00:12:02,348 --> 00:12:05,268 Speaker 1: women who are playing at the college level. We have 236 00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:06,948 Speaker 1: some of that tonight. We have women who are in 237 00:12:06,948 --> 00:12:10,068 Speaker 1: front of the camera and trailblazers. We also have trailblazers 238 00:12:10,268 --> 00:12:12,868 Speaker 1: behind the camera. And you all know they're from your 239 00:12:12,988 --> 00:12:15,308 Speaker 1: reporting and from your hosting on Good Morning Football and 240 00:12:15,348 --> 00:12:16,788 Speaker 1: being out in the field, that there are so many 241 00:12:16,828 --> 00:12:19,788 Speaker 1: women behind the scenes at NIFL Network, at the NFL 242 00:12:19,868 --> 00:12:22,108 Speaker 1: that help us get stories on the air, help us 243 00:12:22,148 --> 00:12:25,588 Speaker 1: get on the air, producers, production managers, and so tonight 244 00:12:25,788 --> 00:12:28,028 Speaker 1: is a little bit of a tribute to them as well. 245 00:12:28,308 --> 00:12:29,708 Speaker 1: Oh that's great. We have so many women here at 246 00:12:29,708 --> 00:12:31,668 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, including several who have been here since 247 00:12:31,748 --> 00:12:34,428 Speaker 1: day one in twenty sixteen. Less they give us an idea, 248 00:12:34,428 --> 00:12:35,988 Speaker 1: tell us a little bit more about these stories are 249 00:12:35,988 --> 00:12:37,988 Speaker 1: gonna be seen in the episode tonight. So we start 250 00:12:38,028 --> 00:12:40,828 Speaker 1: with a group of girls from Orange County, California, and 251 00:12:40,828 --> 00:12:44,108 Speaker 1: they are flag football players and they are trailblazers. They 252 00:12:44,148 --> 00:12:46,708 Speaker 1: want to grow the sport and they want a place 253 00:12:46,748 --> 00:12:50,148 Speaker 1: to play, so they need support. So they partner with 254 00:12:50,508 --> 00:12:54,628 Speaker 1: USC great Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback Matt 255 00:12:54,708 --> 00:12:58,428 Speaker 1: Leinert and the Matt Liner Flag League starts small, and 256 00:12:58,468 --> 00:13:01,308 Speaker 1: it also starts as a club. But these girls, their 257 00:13:01,388 --> 00:13:04,628 Speaker 1: main goal is to get flags sanctioned by the state 258 00:13:04,668 --> 00:13:07,868 Speaker 1: of California as a high school sport. And so tonight 259 00:13:07,908 --> 00:13:09,708 Speaker 1: in our piece, you are going to meet Sydney and 260 00:13:09,788 --> 00:13:11,788 Speaker 1: she is a high school senior and she was one 261 00:13:11,828 --> 00:13:14,308 Speaker 1: of the first players in the Matt Weiner League, but 262 00:13:14,388 --> 00:13:17,508 Speaker 1: she and her dad Ryan, they start a girl's flag 263 00:13:17,588 --> 00:13:19,908 Speaker 1: league for high school players to prove that they can 264 00:13:19,948 --> 00:13:21,828 Speaker 1: do it at the high school level. And in this 265 00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:24,228 Speaker 1: piece right now, you'll see a clip of Sydney in 266 00:13:24,268 --> 00:13:27,148 Speaker 1: her final game with her teammates.

You know you 271 00:13:36,908 --> 00:13:41,748 Speaker 1: have created something that not only fulfilled you in some way, 272 00:13:41,748 --> 00:13:44,348 Speaker 1: but there's other people that are were fulfilled. I hope 273 00:13:44,348 --> 00:13:46,668 Speaker 1: that when you see flag football and as a score 274 00:13:46,668 --> 00:13:48,068 Speaker 1: of ten years from now, that you know that you 275 00:13:48,108 --> 00:13:49,708 Speaker 1: were a part of it. In whether or not you 276 00:13:49,708 --> 00:13:52,788 Speaker 1: ever step on a football field again, you'll always have 277 00:13:52,868 --> 00:13:55,868 Speaker 1: this this journey and share together.

Two years of hard work, dedication, 281 00:14:08,388 --> 00:14:11,108 Speaker 1: and you know, just a special moment between a dad 282 00:14:11,148 --> 00:14:19,468 Speaker 1: and his daughter, and I get emotional, I get tears 283 00:14:19,468 --> 00:14:21,588 Speaker 1: in my eyes every time I see that, because I 284 00:14:21,588 --> 00:14:23,868 Speaker 1: have two daughters, they're sixteen years old, and I always 285 00:14:23,868 --> 00:14:26,148 Speaker 1: tell them, if they're passionate about something, just to go 286 00:14:26,268 --> 00:14:28,988 Speaker 1: for it, to follow your dreams.

And it is an incredibly artistic, feminine, lyrical 332 00:16:42,908 --> 00:16:44,948 Speaker 1: way that she has put this together. And I was 333 00:16:44,948 --> 00:16:47,788 Speaker 1: actually really surprised when I finally saw the piece that 334 00:16:47,868 --> 00:16:51,028 Speaker 1: I was a part of it and incredibly touched because 335 00:16:51,068 --> 00:16:53,948 Speaker 1: I'm part of her football journey. And we'll show you 336 00:16:53,988 --> 00:16:56,628 Speaker 1: a clip of that when she's reflecting back when she 337 00:16:56,748 --> 00:16:59,868 Speaker 1: first saw me on TV. It makes me emotional to 338 00:17:00,068 --> 00:17:02,308 Speaker 1: even think about it. When she is an eight year 339 00:17:02,348 --> 00:17:05,628 Speaker 1: old girl. That's when I saw her. How this past 340 00:17:05,628 --> 00:17:08,668 Speaker 1: week the NFL worked with all the teams. She looks 341 00:17:08,708 --> 00:17:13,148 Speaker 1: like you, and she had something to say. She gives 342 00:17:13,148 --> 00:17:16,468 Speaker 1: you a glimpse of the storyteller you could someday become. 343 00:17:18,108 --> 00:17:24,508 Speaker 1: So you worked for it. Every opportunity earned, not given earned. 344 00:17:26,748 --> 00:17:31,068 Speaker 1: You grew older, stronger and wiser. But still you ask yourself, 345 00:17:31,348 --> 00:17:35,148 Speaker 1: do you deserve to be here? Are you smart enough? 346 00:17:35,228 --> 00:17:38,628 Speaker 1: Are you pretty enough? Are you too pretty? Too feminine? 347 00:17:38,628 --> 00:17:43,748 Speaker 1: Too funny? Not serious and too sexy? Not sexy enough? Gosh, 348 00:17:43,788 --> 00:17:46,628 Speaker 1: do you even know football? And let's not start on 349 00:17:46,708 --> 00:17:49,708 Speaker 1: if you want a career, you can't have a family. 350 00:17:50,388 --> 00:17:53,508 Speaker 1: But wait, when will I have time for a family. 351 00:17:58,268 --> 00:18:02,348 Speaker 1: It's just a fantastic piece by India and it's again 352 00:18:02,548 --> 00:18:05,748 Speaker 1: just incredibly feminine and represents so many of us and 353 00:18:05,828 --> 00:18:08,388 Speaker 1: all those questions that she's asking there. I think every 354 00:18:08,428 --> 00:18:11,228 Speaker 1: woman who has worked in football or in this field 355 00:18:11,268 --> 00:18:13,748 Speaker 1: has asked themselves and do you know football? I remember 356 00:18:13,828 --> 00:18:16,588 Speaker 1: being on planes at certain times reading Sports Illustrated and 357 00:18:16,628 --> 00:18:19,028 Speaker 1: people saying, do you know football? Or you're reading Sports 358 00:18:19,068 --> 00:18:21,068 Speaker 1: Illustrated because you really like it because you have to. 359 00:18:21,148 --> 00:18:23,828 Speaker 1: I mean, we've heard it all and this piece and 360 00:18:23,868 --> 00:18:27,308 Speaker 1: this episode just encapsulates how far we have come. We 361 00:18:27,348 --> 00:18:30,348 Speaker 1: have done incredible stories on I've kept in touch with 362 00:18:30,388 --> 00:18:32,268 Speaker 1: so many of these women. Lori Locus. She was one 363 00:18:32,308 --> 00:18:35,188 Speaker 1: of the She was the first female coach to win 364 00:18:35,228 --> 00:18:37,948 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and aunted Harris Tony Harris. She was 365 00:18:37,988 --> 00:18:40,628 Speaker 1: the first woman to get a college scholarship for football 366 00:18:40,668 --> 00:18:42,948 Speaker 1: as a non kicker, and we text all the time. 367 00:18:43,028 --> 00:18:45,148 Speaker 1: We talk all the time. So there's a sisterhood here 368 00:18:45,228 --> 00:18:47,308 Speaker 1: and there's so much that has come out of this 369 00:18:47,548 --> 00:18:50,748 Speaker 1: special that we have done. And again, our NFL three 370 00:18:50,868 --> 00:18:54,028 Speaker 1: sixty motto is bigger than football, and this is certainly 371 00:18:54,148 --> 00:18:56,388 Speaker 1: bigger than football. Listen, before I let you go out, 372 00:18:56,388 --> 00:18:57,948 Speaker 1: I do want to say this. India is a friend. 373 00:18:58,268 --> 00:18:59,908 Speaker 1: That's why I said it when I let into that. 374 00:19:00,028 --> 00:19:03,028 Speaker 1: She is an incredible person. You know that you've worked 375 00:19:03,028 --> 00:19:05,588 Speaker 1: with her a bunch. I think it's very poignant that 376 00:19:05,628 --> 00:19:07,948 Speaker 1: she's being profiled in this and I'm so excited to 377 00:19:07,948 --> 00:19:09,628 Speaker 1: see her story. So real quick, I just want you 378 00:19:09,708 --> 00:19:12,708 Speaker 1: to say a couple of things about India and what 379 00:19:12,868 --> 00:19:18,308 Speaker 1: she means to everyone here at NFL Network. Yeah, that's involved. 380 00:19:18,588 --> 00:19:23,868 Speaker 1: She is.

Um. People 385 00:19:35,948 --> 00:19:38,308 Speaker 1: always ask me why do you get into football, or 386 00:19:38,548 --> 00:19:41,148 Speaker 1: what's this? What's the secret? What's the tip? And it's 387 00:19:41,268 --> 00:19:43,228 Speaker 1: you have to understand what you do.

JIMFB rolls right along on this Friday 400 00:20:26,308 --> 00:20:29,628 Speaker 1: morning and the Cowboys going out and getting five time 401 00:20:29,708 --> 00:20:33,388 Speaker 1: Pro bowlers to find Gilmore in a trade from the 402 00:20:33,468 --> 00:20:37,028 Speaker 1: Cults to pair them up with Trayvon Diggs in that 403 00:20:37,108 --> 00:20:41,868 Speaker 1: secondary Gilmore addressing reporters and talked about how that duo 404 00:20:42,308 --> 00:20:46,748 Speaker 1: will cause a lot of problems for opposing offenses. No, 405 00:20:46,828 --> 00:20:49,228 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun when the season get here. They 406 00:20:49,228 --> 00:20:51,308 Speaker 1: gotta throw us somewhere, so one of us going to 407 00:20:51,388 --> 00:20:53,628 Speaker 1: get chested, so it's got to be able to make 408 00:20:53,668 --> 00:20:55,508 Speaker 1: the play when they come out way, so hopefully we 409 00:20:55,788 --> 00:20:58,628 Speaker 1: can make plays and they gotta throw it, so one 410 00:20:58,628 --> 00:21:03,108 Speaker 1: of us will be making plays. Yes, Indeed, receiver Richard 411 00:21:03,148 --> 00:21:05,668 Speaker 1: Kobe Myers hoping to make plays now as a member 412 00:21:05,708 --> 00:21:09,188 Speaker 1: of the Raiders, but he was already well known by 413 00:21:09,188 --> 00:21:12,028 Speaker 1: the black Hole because of this play in week fifteen, 414 00:21:12,148 --> 00:21:14,868 Speaker 1: when with the Patriots trying to keep the play alive, 415 00:21:15,188 --> 00:21:19,508 Speaker 1: he inadvertently threw the ball right the chandler Jones. Myers 416 00:21:19,868 --> 00:21:22,508 Speaker 1: met the Las Vegas media on Thursday and spoke about 417 00:21:22,548 --> 00:21:26,788 Speaker 1: the infamous play. Now, if you ask them directly what happened, 418 00:21:27,028 --> 00:21:29,508 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's the truth. I really don't know. 419 00:21:29,588 --> 00:21:31,348 Speaker 1: It just I had the ball and I didn't have 420 00:21:31,428 --> 00:21:32,708 Speaker 1: the ball, you know what I mean. That was the 421 00:21:32,748 --> 00:21:34,948 Speaker 1: end of it. But as far as growth, it taught 422 00:21:34,948 --> 00:21:36,948 Speaker 1: me a lot about myself, you know, and how I 423 00:21:36,988 --> 00:21:38,868 Speaker 1: want to help people in the future. So I was 424 00:21:38,908 --> 00:21:42,548 Speaker 1: that first interaction with er. Stay tuned, you know, I'm 425 00:21:42,828 --> 00:21:44,588 Speaker 1: I'm at to see, and I'm at to see. I'll 426 00:21:44,628 --> 00:21:48,428 Speaker 1: keep you posted for sure. Can only imagine the conversation. 427 00:21:48,468 --> 00:21:50,228 Speaker 1: And Hey, if you can't beat him, might as well 428 00:21:50,388 --> 00:21:53,588 Speaker 1: join him. And we'll see if Timothy hey Hey will 429 00:21:53,628 --> 00:21:56,628 Speaker 1: be joining him in Vegas as well, sir. Something to 430 00:21:56,708 --> 00:22:02,508 Speaker 1: keep an eye on the progress of Timothy League is 431 00:22:02,588 --> 00:22:06,948 Speaker 1: a huge, huge story. Hey, well, way to play quick, 432 00:22:08,108 --> 00:22:11,228 Speaker 1: a lot of good option. I totally failed at that game. 433 00:22:11,268 --> 00:22:13,068 Speaker 1: But that's not the point of it, dude. Yeah we 434 00:22:13,148 --> 00:22:14,828 Speaker 1: did well. You're a big winner this week, Jason, we 435 00:22:14,868 --> 00:22:17,908 Speaker 1: get it. We want to ask now which player on 436 00:22:17,948 --> 00:22:21,388 Speaker 1: a new team has the best shot at redemption as 437 00:22:21,388 --> 00:22:24,348 Speaker 1: we were just watching that redemption or revenge this season, Kyle, 438 00:22:24,548 --> 00:22:27,548 Speaker 1: just roll the play. Let's get it over with my guy. 439 00:22:28,348 --> 00:22:30,308 Speaker 1: I'm Jason. I think you're ready, and I think this 440 00:22:30,348 --> 00:22:31,468 Speaker 1: is the last time I'm gonna do this for a 441 00:22:31,468 --> 00:22:35,388 Speaker 1: long time where you're gonna see here is current Las 442 00:22:35,468 --> 00:22:37,788 Speaker 1: Vegas Raider Jacob Bars get the ball right here and 443 00:22:37,828 --> 00:22:40,468 Speaker 1: make just one of the strangest decisions in NFL history. 444 00:22:40,628 --> 00:22:44,388 Speaker 1: But here's the thing, the Raiders didn't care. The Raiders 445 00:22:44,388 --> 00:22:46,468 Speaker 1: actually liked it so much that they signed him and 446 00:22:46,508 --> 00:22:47,948 Speaker 1: paid him a bunch of money. And I think that 447 00:22:48,068 --> 00:22:50,708 Speaker 1: is a great story. I'm trying to come up with 448 00:22:50,428 --> 00:22:52,668 Speaker 1: a with an equivalent. It's almost like, you know, if 449 00:22:52,748 --> 00:22:55,868 Speaker 1: Leon Lett ended up signing with the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, 450 00:22:55,988 --> 00:22:57,348 Speaker 1: but Lee Lett was doing at the end of a 451 00:22:57,348 --> 00:22:59,668 Speaker 1: blowout Super Bowl win. So who cares like he didn't 452 00:22:59,668 --> 00:23:01,508 Speaker 1: lose the game for his team? But there's I talked 453 00:23:01,588 --> 00:23:03,988 Speaker 1: already about Jim Marshall running the wrong way. The fact 454 00:23:04,068 --> 00:23:07,268 Speaker 1: is Kobe Myers was an undrafted player out of NC 455 00:23:07,508 --> 00:23:10,108 Speaker 1: State who has carved a career for Froom, gotten paid, 456 00:23:10,388 --> 00:23:14,628 Speaker 1: made one asinine play and several great plays. I personally 457 00:23:14,628 --> 00:23:16,748 Speaker 1: have been leading the charge as a drum major to 458 00:23:16,788 --> 00:23:19,188 Speaker 1: continue to play that play. I'm gonna stop right now. 459 00:23:19,228 --> 00:23:21,748 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go a hunger strike like Gandhi. I will 460 00:23:21,788 --> 00:23:24,508 Speaker 1: not play that play anymore, no more of it because 461 00:23:24,588 --> 00:23:26,628 Speaker 1: Jacoby he seems to have a sense of humor about it, 462 00:23:26,708 --> 00:23:29,308 Speaker 1: certainly at the Raiders do. So why shouldn't I go 463 00:23:29,388 --> 00:23:31,268 Speaker 1: make some more plays and we'll play those. I think 464 00:23:31,268 --> 00:23:33,388 Speaker 1: he's the best story here. I'm keeping it with the Raiders, 465 00:23:33,388 --> 00:23:35,708 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go. Derek Carr, former Raider, Now I'm 466 00:23:35,788 --> 00:23:37,948 Speaker 1: going to the Saints. When you talk about redemption or revenge, 467 00:23:37,948 --> 00:23:39,548 Speaker 1: I mean he all but said it. He did say it. 468 00:23:39,588 --> 00:23:41,308 Speaker 1: He said it lit a fire in me, the way 469 00:23:41,308 --> 00:23:44,268 Speaker 1: that whole thing on Boldington. Not that that fire was 470 00:23:44,468 --> 00:23:47,268 Speaker 1: never there, but they made it hot. I mean, there's 471 00:23:47,308 --> 00:23:50,108 Speaker 1: no sugarcoading how he feels. And not only that, but 472 00:23:50,148 --> 00:23:53,828 Speaker 1: he goes to a division that, immediately upon signing him, 473 00:23:54,068 --> 00:23:57,748 Speaker 1: was the most experienced quarterback in this division. It made 474 00:23:57,788 --> 00:24:00,068 Speaker 1: the Saints the front runner in a place that there 475 00:24:00,068 --> 00:24:01,908 Speaker 1: were a lot of question marks as to what they 476 00:24:01,908 --> 00:24:04,068 Speaker 1: were going to do. He also talked about wanting to 477 00:24:04,108 --> 00:24:05,948 Speaker 1: prove it again like what he's been able to do, 478 00:24:06,428 --> 00:24:09,948 Speaker 1: and so the knock on him has been the postseason 479 00:24:10,028 --> 00:24:12,628 Speaker 1: he's got. It's sort of greenlit for him right now 480 00:24:12,628 --> 00:24:15,028 Speaker 1: to just waltzon to the postseason with this team that's 481 00:24:15,068 --> 00:24:17,948 Speaker 1: built around him. Now, they're built to win in that 482 00:24:17,988 --> 00:24:20,308 Speaker 1: division where we don't know a lot about what the 483 00:24:20,308 --> 00:24:21,748 Speaker 1: other teams are going to do. So I think if 484 00:24:21,788 --> 00:24:24,908 Speaker 1: anybody has revenge redemption on the line, should be Derek Carr. Yeah, 485 00:24:24,948 --> 00:24:27,188 Speaker 1: I had no idea which players you guys are going with. 486 00:24:27,228 --> 00:24:29,068 Speaker 1: It's almost like we kept it in the first game 487 00:24:29,108 --> 00:24:30,828 Speaker 1: that you want it because I'm going with John new 488 00:24:30,828 --> 00:24:34,948 Speaker 1: Smith the Patriots and now is going to the Atlanta Falcons. 489 00:24:35,148 --> 00:24:37,148 Speaker 1: When you look at his numbers the last two years 490 00:24:37,148 --> 00:24:39,148 Speaker 1: where he was with the Tennessee Titans and then the 491 00:24:39,188 --> 00:24:41,308 Speaker 1: two years he spent with the New England Patriots. I 492 00:24:41,308 --> 00:24:44,308 Speaker 1: mean that bottom column right there, eleven touchdowns in those 493 00:24:44,388 --> 00:24:47,628 Speaker 1: last two years with the Tennessee Titans. One touchdown is 494 00:24:47,708 --> 00:24:50,188 Speaker 1: span of two years with the New England Patriots. It 495 00:24:50,228 --> 00:24:52,828 Speaker 1: just didn't work. Happen got paid a ton of money. 496 00:24:52,988 --> 00:24:54,708 Speaker 1: I think some of them had to do with usage. 497 00:24:54,708 --> 00:24:56,388 Speaker 1: I think John, you see right there at the ball 498 00:24:56,428 --> 00:24:58,508 Speaker 1: in his hands, of getting the ball in his hands 499 00:24:58,508 --> 00:25:00,668 Speaker 1: early and letting him do the running, I think those 500 00:25:00,708 --> 00:25:02,908 Speaker 1: are his strains. I think about his time in New England. 501 00:25:03,228 --> 00:25:05,668 Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins had a six. I was raiding his hands 502 00:25:05,708 --> 00:25:07,668 Speaker 1: and he kind of tossed it back to him. There 503 00:25:07,708 --> 00:25:09,148 Speaker 1: was a reverse he had where it looked like he 504 00:25:09,188 --> 00:25:11,188 Speaker 1: was about to score touchdown. The ball just slips out 505 00:25:11,228 --> 00:25:13,268 Speaker 1: of his hands. So I think for John he has 506 00:25:13,308 --> 00:25:16,188 Speaker 1: to be fired up to be rejoining Arthur Smith in 507 00:25:16,268 --> 00:25:19,068 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. And I know he's looking for a big 508 00:25:19,108 --> 00:25:22,348 Speaker 1: comeback season because he's a really talented football player. I'm 509 00:25:22,348 --> 00:25:24,668 Speaker 1: gonna go with Orlando Brown. For two years, he's been 510 00:25:24,668 --> 00:25:26,708 Speaker 1: trying to work out a long term contract to play 511 00:25:26,788 --> 00:25:29,268 Speaker 1: left tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. They don't do it. 512 00:25:29,268 --> 00:25:31,788 Speaker 1: They don't even franchise to tag him and let him 513 00:25:31,788 --> 00:25:33,948 Speaker 1: test the entire market as opposed to having him run 514 00:25:33,948 --> 00:25:35,388 Speaker 1: it back for one more year. And what does he do? 515 00:25:36,068 --> 00:25:38,228 Speaker 1: Nobody wants him to play right tackle. I talked to 516 00:25:38,228 --> 00:25:40,028 Speaker 1: a number of teams, go he is a right tackle. 517 00:25:40,268 --> 00:25:43,548 Speaker 1: He insists on playing left tackle. He goes to Cincinnati 518 00:25:43,588 --> 00:25:45,508 Speaker 1: plays left tackle. What a redemption it would be to 519 00:25:45,628 --> 00:25:48,308 Speaker 1: go to Arrowhead, where Cincinnati has gone the last two 520 00:25:48,428 --> 00:25:51,948 Speaker 1: years and take down the Chiefs playing left tackle with 521 00:25:52,028 --> 00:25:53,828 Speaker 1: the team that didn't want to keep you. But really quickly, 522 00:25:53,828 --> 00:25:56,228 Speaker 1: I will say this. The Raiders also knew a little redemption. 523 00:25:56,348 --> 00:25:59,788 Speaker 1: Yesterday Jimmy Garoppolo was supposed to have his introductory press conference. 524 00:25:59,828 --> 00:26:03,468 Speaker 1: Media is there waiting, waiting, waiting, a little more waiting. 525 00:26:03,508 --> 00:26:05,308 Speaker 1: Two and a half hour wors go by. They say, 526 00:26:05,628 --> 00:26:08,028 Speaker 1: press conference is gonna happen. We're gonna have it on Friday. 527 00:26:08,108 --> 00:26:11,028 Speaker 1: Let's get a little redemption on on the scheduling situation. 528 00:26:11,108 --> 00:26:14,108 Speaker 1: What happened day? Did not say why that? I've never 529 00:26:14,108 --> 00:26:16,708 Speaker 1: seen that happen before. It's not great where the quarterbacks 530 00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:19,148 Speaker 1: press conference has pushed back a whole other day. But 531 00:26:19,228 --> 00:26:22,188 Speaker 1: you know what, everything will work out. For wedding press conference. 532 00:26:22,988 --> 00:26:25,908 Speaker 1: Lead block over there. Oh, I don't know. Do you 533 00:26:25,948 --> 00:26:28,988 Speaker 1: tell me Jimmy? Maybe no, No information has been given. 534 00:26:28,988 --> 00:26:30,388 Speaker 1: They have some things to sort out. Did you have 535 00:26:30,428 --> 00:26:34,228 Speaker 1: a late night on Jimmy? I think started. Jimmy was ready. 536 00:26:34,508 --> 00:26:37,548 Speaker 1: I'm not sure everybody was. Um, I can't wait. I 537 00:26:37,548 --> 00:26:39,708 Speaker 1: can't wait either. I can't wait. I want to I'm 538 00:26:39,748 --> 00:26:42,108 Speaker 1: behalf and Jason myself. I want to thank James and Sarah. 539 00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:44,588 Speaker 1: You guys have been awesome when you're coming back, but 540 00:26:44,628 --> 00:26:45,708 Speaker 1: I hope it's soon. Do you have a good time. 541 00:26:45,788 --> 00:26:47,628 Speaker 1: I had a wonderful times, a good time. I want 542 00:26:47,668 --> 00:26:50,348 Speaker 1: to congratulate you on your princess. They did all the 543 00:26:50,348 --> 00:26:52,468 Speaker 1: hard work. He wasn't I mean, he wasn't out there 544 00:26:52,548 --> 00:26:54,708 Speaker 1: shooting the ball and lived it though you know they'd 545 00:26:54,708 --> 00:26:57,268 Speaker 1: been there, and he didn't wear a T shirt yesterday, 546 00:26:57,268 --> 00:26:59,868 Speaker 1: so it was no favor. I want a T shirt 547 00:26:59,948 --> 00:27:07,188 Speaker 1: today up like I had it when I was going there. Hi. Everyone,
