Speaker 1: that Joe Thomas would be inducted with the class of

12
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And it was awesome.

13
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: It was emotional, it was long overdue. Even though it

14
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: couldn't have happened any faster, it felt overdue. That's why

15
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: we've been calling him the half for years. He is

16
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: a half now first ballot, joining Darrell Reevas as also

17
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,520

00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: out the five modern era players, you've got Randa Barber,

19
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,600

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: Joe cleco, Ken Riley, and don Air Correll made it

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: as the coach contributor. They're just an incredible, incredible time.

24
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: Here's what d and Jimmy Haslem, the Brown's owners, had

25
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: to say about Joe Thomas being named a first ballot

26
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer quote, We're so proud Joe

27
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Thomas will be recognized appropriately as a first ballot Hall

28
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: of Famer. Joe pitomized the standard of excellence in everything

29
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: he did for the Cleveland Browns organization and our community.

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: He was the essence of all you want in a

31
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: player as a teammate representing the Brown's organization. His extraordinary

32
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: accomplishments and endurance playing ten plus years stout missing a

33
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: single snap is unparalleled and frankly, folks, I don't think

34
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: that will ever be touched. How he went about his

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: work each day was equally inspiring. The model of consistency, resiliency,

36
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: and class. Beyond being one of the best in NFL history,

37
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: was just his exceptional off the field. Jonah's wife, Annie,

38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: have made an impact on so many people in Cleveland

39
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: have done so in a humble, unassuming way. He is

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: just a tremendous human being. We are so happy that

41
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: Joe will take his rightful place among our game's greatest

42
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: in Canton. That is well said Joe Thomas. Absolutely just

43
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: an incredible guy, a special guy. I'm honored to call

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: him a friend, and it's just it was an honor

45
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: to get to watch him do what he did best

46
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: out on the field, getting it done at left tackle.

47
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Here's what Joe had to say. The one theme that

48
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: has probably been the thing I hold most closely to

49
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: my heart when people ask about what are you the

50
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: most proud of during your career, it's that snapstreak because

51
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: of what it represents to me. Count on Me. That

52
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: was always the motto I had on my head. It

53
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: was count on me. When times get tough, you know

54
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: who to look to. Count on me when you know

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: you can side to my side. Count on Me was

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: something that was ingrained in my brain, ingrained in my

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: character from when I was a little boy. It's always

58
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: been a part of my identity and I think that's

59
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: why that snap streak is the most special thing I

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: think about when I think about my career. Joe Thomas incredible,

61
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: a great honor and coming up in just about ten minutes,

62
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: about twelve minutes and one fifteen. I was able to

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: talk to Joe Thomas this morning as he was out

64
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: in Arizona getting ready for the Merlin Olsen Hall of

65
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Fame lunch, and it's a it's a an emotional interview.

66
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: He will get emotional. We talked about last night about

67
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: how we found out all that's coming up one fifteen,

68
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: so you definitely do not want to miss that. And

69
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of great content right now on all

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: of the Browns social media platforms. Obviously, if you're listening,

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm guessing you've got the Cleveland Browns app. If you

72
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: go to the Brown's app right now, there's so much

73
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: great content. The video you get to see of Joe

74
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: Thomas receiving a video from his friends and his family

75
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: and former teammates about you know, getting into the Hall

76
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: of Fame, his reactions to that, just all the Joke

77
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: Thomas content you want is right now on the Brown's

78
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: mobile app. And I got I pulled it up to

79
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: try to tell you guys, but then I'm also playing

80
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: on the Brown's mobile app. All right, so I can't

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: do that there, We got to pause it good. But yeah,

82
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: tons of stuff about Joe and tons of stuff to

83
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: just digest and to celebrate. Really a tremendous Cleveland Brown

84
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: and then a better human And that's what's to me,

85
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: that's the most incredible thing about him. Joe Thomas the

86
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: first ballot, duh winning he's in the bobble is out

87
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: today and that's how we're gonna do it today. So

88
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, he makes it in. I mentioned that it

89
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: was at the NFL Honors that he was that this

90
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: list came out, or that they announced the Hall of

91
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Famers for the very first time. Interesting show. I thought

92
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson did a good job. She was the first

93
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: woman to ever host the show. They had some singing.

94
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: I thought Kirk Cousins killed it. They had an unbelievably

95
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: powerful segment on Tamar Hamlin that was really if you

96
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: didn't if you want to see anything other than obviously

97
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: Joe coming out, I would go back and I would

98
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: watch that. I thought that was just a powerful, powerful

99
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: video um and a powerful moment to have Tomorrow Hamlin

100
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: come out there even got the NFL Choir over the

101
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: people we had lost throughout the year, which was incredible

102
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: to see. It was just a very um if you

103
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: love the NFL, and it was a special night for

104
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: the NFL and obviously a special night for the Cleveland

105
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Browns because of what that meant for Joe Thomas. So

106
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: gonna go through real quickly some of the awards from

107
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: last night. The AP Most Valuable Player was Patrick Mahomes.

108
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: I agreed with that. A P Coach of the Year

109
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: Brian Dable. Uh, It's funny. I would have thought Nick

110
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: Sirianni would get it. He wasn't even a finalist. The

111
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: finalists were Dable, Um, Doug Peterson, and for some reason,

112
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: I can't remember the third. I would have gone with

113
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: Sirianni or Doug Peterson to take that Jags team to

114
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs after what it was a year ago. I

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: think is is unbelievable. Dable did a great job though

116
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: obviously can't take anything away from him. AP Comeback Player

117
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: of the Year Gino Smith with the Seahawks. I like that.

118
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: People were saying McCaffrey because he's coming back from the injury,

119
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: but Gino Smith was kind of irrelevant. In the National

120
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: Football League and had a great year as a starting quarterback.

121
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: AP Offensive Player of the Year Justin Jefferson YEP. Defensive

122
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: Player the Year, Nick Bosey YEP. AP Offensive Rookie the

123
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: Year Garrett Wilson. I actually surprised. I thought Brock Purty

124
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: might get it just on the strength of, you know,

125
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: his eight games. But Garrett Wilson over a thousand yards

126
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: is a rookie pretty good for the Jets. And then

127
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner, also

128
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: of the Jets. So they have the Rookie of the

129
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: Year both offensively and defensively. That is pretty impressive. Uh.

130
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: The next Gen Stats Moment of the Year Justin Jefferson's

131
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: insane catch against the Bills. The Walter Payton NFL Man

132
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: End of the Year was Dak Prescott, and obviously so

133
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: many deserving people up there, including our own Joel Betonio.

134
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: Congrats the zach uh the FedEx Air and Ground Players

135
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: the Year where Joe Burrow and Josh Jacobs. And this

136
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: is cool. They've got a new thing now. The Rushing

137
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: Leader of the Year is now going to be known

138
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: as the Jim Brown Award Flame for the Browns great

139
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: Jim Brown, who was in attendance last night. That was

140
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: obviously Josh Jacobs. UM. And then you've got the Deacon

141
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: Jones Sack Leader Award, which went to Nick Bosa who won.

142
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: So some of those were just you know, the guys

143
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: that won it, um just from the stats. But it's

144
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: cool that there's an award now named after Jim Brown.

145
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: I like that. Uh. And then you had the Angry

146
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Run of the Year, which was a great segment with

147
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt was Damian Pierce. Um. The celebration of the

148
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: year was the Bengals roller Coaster celebration in week eighteen.

149
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,240

00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: head coach of the Houston Texans, got that for his

152
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: work as a defensive coordinator of the forty. So it

153
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: was a fun night. I watched a good portion of it.

154
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: I did not watch all of it. I was obviously

155
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: waiting most importantly to see the hof get in there.

156
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: But it's just so cool, I mean to have you know,

157
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: there aren't that many first ballot Hall of Famers when

158
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: you think about there were two in this class, that's special.

159
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: But even a guy like de Marcus Ware who got

160
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: in this year, wasn't a first ballot Hall of Famer.

161
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: Even Zach Thomas and is five all you know, first

162
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: team All Pros, wasn't a first ballot Hall of Famer.

163
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: It's a special thing. There have only been seven tackles

164
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: in NFL history to be first ballot, and the half

165
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: is now one of them. And I think you look

166
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: at some of the things he did that streak. Obviously

167
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: everybody was talking about that, you know, ten straight Pro

168
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: Bowls to open up his career. That's something that only

169
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: five people can claim, all of them Hall of Fames

170
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: and Merlin Olsen, for whom the Hall of Fame bunch

171
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: is named, Joe Thomas, mel renfro Berry Sanders, Lawrence Taylor.

172
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's wild. And then you look

173
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: at the seven tackles who are first ballot. Jackie Slater

174
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: seven Pro Bowls, four First Team, four All Pro, zero

175
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: first team. Sop's got a litt bit of a better

176
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: resume than him. Jim Parker eight Pro Bowls, ten All Pros,

177
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: nine First Team nineteen fifties All Decades team that stacks

178
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: up the half. Ten Pro Bowls eight, All Pro six

179
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: first Team. He was on the two thousand and ten

180
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: All Decade Team Forest greg nine Pro Bowls nine, All

181
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: Pros seven first team, so they're right on the same

182
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: area there, and he played from fifty six to seventy one.

183
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: So you think about modern era guys, you got Walter Jones,

184
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: who was the man who knocked at the hops door

185
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: and they shared some champagne together. Nine Pro Bowls six,

186
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: All Pros four first team. So the hof resume there.

187
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: The guy that might be at the top of this

188
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: is obviously Anthony Munio's eleven Pro Bowls, eleven All Pros

189
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: nine first team. Uh so that's that's the most decorated

190
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: that there is. And then Jonathan Ogden nine All Pros

191
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: four first team, eleven Pro Bowls. So the half, I mean,

192
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: the only person with a better resume than the half

193
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: is Anthony Munio's. That's it. That's the end of the list.

194
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: And then Jim Parker is similar in terms of the

195
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, All Pros. That's it, guys. That's how good

196
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: the half is. That's how good he is. He is

197
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: one of the very best to ever play the game.

198
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: Just a stunning career, stunning accomplishment and really honestly a

199
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: stunning human being. So kudos to him. I'm pumped to

200
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: hear from him and coming up on the show today

201
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: because obviously it's about the half I'd like. I'd like

202
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: if you guys can do this, We're gonna do the

224
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: to say for the twenty twenty two season, which is

225
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: now into the year three. Some Browns news gets a

226
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: little close to home for me. The Chargers are hiring

227
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: Jeff Howard to coach their linebackers. Uh. This is from

228
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: ESPN s Jake Trotter. Chargers hiring Jeff Howard to coach linebackers,

229
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: per sources. Former Brown's defensive back assistant also had an

230
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: offer from Carolina end quote. I could say, yes, Jeff

231
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: Howard is going to the Chargers coach linebackers. He has

232
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: been wooed by Brandon Staley uh and had permission from

233
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: the Browns to seek an interview there. He got it,

234
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: got the job, was weighing his options and has chosen

235
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: to go to the charge Argers. And I gotta tell

236
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: you you guys know this. I love Jeff Howard. Jeff

237
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: Howard is my dude. I can tell you that it's official.

238
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: It's not just per sources, because my source is Jeff Howard,

239
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: um and he's a he's a great guy. I wish

240
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: him well and they'll be a part of me. That's rootten,

241
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: certainly for for his guys in that room and the

242
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: Chargers now, because that's what in this business, what's cool

243
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: about it and what's also hard about it is that

244
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: you come across a lot of people and you build

245
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: friendships with them, and it's a very transient business. And

246
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: I have friends now through my time working here. You know,

247
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: this is coming up. It's gonna be my eleventh season

248
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: with the Browns, which is wild when I say it

249
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: out loud. But I've met great friends that I still

250
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: stay in touch with around the league. I mean, my

251
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: first year, Norv Turner was the offensive coordinator. My second year,

252
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan was the offensive coordinator here. You know, Kevin

253
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: O'Connell had been through here, Quacy has been through here.

254
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: Pet of course, was the head coach here. There's just

255
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: so many people, Freddie, that you meet in your time's

256
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: here that go around the league and and go on

257
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: to do other things. All the guys off of that,

258
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Tree, Mike McDaniels was here with us. Uh, Mike

259
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: Lafleur was here with us in that two thousand fourteen season.

260
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: So many people that go around to do great things

261
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: in the league. Steve Wilkes another guy who is now

262
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: going to be the defense coordinator of the Niners. I

263
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: think it's a great higher by Kyle there. Um, But

264
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: that's the hard part of the business. You you get

265
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: attached to people, you become friends with them, both in

266
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: the building and outside of the building, and and they

267
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: move on. But happy for Jeff Howard uh landing in

268
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: l A and UH definitely definitely pumped for him. Great guy,

269
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: great coach. He will be missed, certainly by me and

270
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: I think by everybody in this building. All Right, when

00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: keep me out. And so if they would have sat

309
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: me down and said, hey, you gotta be at your

310
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: house this day, or you gotta be in the hotel

311
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: room this day, I feel like I wouldn't have been

312
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: overly surprised. However, the way they did it was so

313
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: cool because they told my wife and then they did

314
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: it like almost two weeks before the official announcement, and

315
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: my wife did a great job of setting it up.

316
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: She uh did a great job keeping the secret. And

317
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: she told me that we were going to go out

318
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: to dinner with the neighbors have some drinks. It was

319
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: a Friday night, kids got home from school, but we

320
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: had to have like a chat with the kids first,

321
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: and so I thought for sure, like all right, momm

322
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: he's bringing the strong arm in to go like yeah, yeah,

323
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: good cop, bad cop. They did something bad at school.

324
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: And so she's like, all right, four o'clock. We need

325
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: to we need to be out the door at four

326
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: or five. So like we gotta get into the kitchen

327
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: at four. And I'm like, all right, no problem. Like

328
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: our house is run very militaristically because we got four kids,

329
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: and it's always greaty. You got so much going on,

330
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: so you gotta be like by the second. It's like

331
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: the man GINI like every minute is planned out. And

332
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: uh so I'm like, okay, cool. So I'm not ready

333
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: because I had worked out that afternoon, saw just like

334
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: in my workout gear and really my underwear. But I

335
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: I went and I went into the I went into

336
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: the the kitchen and we're just hanging on and I'm thinking,

337
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: we're just going to talk to the kids and you know,

338
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: maybe dad and his underwears more intimidating and get dressed.

339
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: She's like, you gotta get dressed and it's only take

340
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: five minutes. I'm a guy, like, I got no hair,

341
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: I got nothing to do except put pants in his

342
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: shirt on. And she's like, just please get dressed, like

343
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: just do it right now, like and she was being

344
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: real insistent about him, like just lay off, lady. But hey,

345
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm a good husband. I know that when the queen

346
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: says something, she's got the fine. All right, whatever, I'll

347
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: go upstairs. So I go upstairs and get ready and

348
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: come down. And we got like a little bit bar

349
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: right next to our kitchen, and so she starts talking

350
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: and you know it's nothing important yet. So I walked

351
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: around the corner and pulling myself a drink in the

352
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: honor of you know, the Great Bow Bishop, I'm before

353
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: myself a little bourbon. Yeah. I walk over there and

354
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: I opened the cabinet. I'm a poor bourbon. I think

355
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: it was a I noon and she goes, no, no,

356
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: you need to be here, and I can hear you

357
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: and she's like, no, you need to be in the room,

358
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what is going on with this lady?

359
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: So I didn't suspicion ever get up that it could

360
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: be yes or you're just like she's just on one

361
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm just gonna sign whatever. I'm like, whatever,

362
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: it's a big deal, Like we're gonna go out with

363
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: our friends in a minute, I'll be crushing light beers

364
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: at the dinner, like in ten minutes. Anyway, no big deal.

365
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: So I'm I walk around the corner. I'm just kind

366
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: of sitting there, like leaning it up against the counter,

367
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: and she's talking and within I'm telling you, like two minutes,

368
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: we just hear like the loudest like, and I thought

369
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: that the neighbor kids had come over because the kids

370
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: just got back from school, so I thought they came over.

371
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: And we're like kicking at the front door, like trying

372
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: to get our kids come out and play, which happens

373
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: all the time. Got a great neighborhood that's got a

374
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: bunch of young families, like our kids best friends live

375
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: next door. They got four kids same age across the street,

376
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: three kids same age. So they're always just like ping

377
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: ponging around the neighborhood. And so the kids are excited

378
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: because they think they're friends are coming over because they

379
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: don't know either, so they run to the front door

380
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: and as soon as they get to the front door.

381
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: I hear him like start screaming and then come running

382
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: back around the corner back into the kitchen, and my

383
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: son starts yelling. He's like there's a guy in a

384
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: big coach. And the first thing that I thought, because

385
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: there was like a door to door salesman like some

386
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: us control that the day before and there, you know,

387
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: if you're on like the neighborhood chat, like all the

388
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: little house s merms, they're always like texting each other

389
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: like watch out, there's like a door to door salesman coming,

390
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: you know, Like you know, they like said all the

391
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: little messages about who's like just wandering on the neighboroods.

392
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: There's a there's a really suspicious looking great car, you know,

393
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: like something I want. I want to reality show in

394
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: your neighborhood. By the way, after hearing about this great

395
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: and so, the first thing I think is like, all right,

396
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: I gotta go like shoot a dude off. Like when

397
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: we were living in Westlake, it was so weird. They

398
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: had this meat guy that would come around like a

399
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: couple of times a year. He would be selling meat

400
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 1: out of like his refrigerated van. Was so weird and

401
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: so of course as Dad, you'd have to go to

402
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: the front because they're they're like super persistent. So I'm like,

403
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: all right, the meat man's back from West Laco. I

404
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: gotta go kick about. And then like within like a

405
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: split second, it felt like it was a lifetime, but

406
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: a split second, he goes, no, Dad, Dad, we made it.

407
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: We made it. And he's like popping up and down,

408
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm thinking, what is this talking about? Because

409
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: I know that if they're going to make the Hall

410
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: of Fame announcement, it has to come close to Honors

411
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: night because they don't want to tell us too far

412
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: in advance. They want to make sure that they tell

413
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: us pretty close to like when the announcement is. And

414
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: and then I think maybe like in another like two seconds,

415
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: then I realized, like, oh my gosh, this is it.

416
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: And I walk around the corner and sure enough, Big

417
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: Walter Jones he's standing there. He's got his gold jacket on,

418
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: and I opened the door and he just says welcome home,

419
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, oh my gosh. He gives a

420
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: huge hug. I just like start crying. He's got like

421
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: fifteen people there with them. It was just such an

422
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: emotional special moment, because you know, some of the greatest

423
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: memories in your life, like you can't even draw it

424
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: up if you had an opportunity. And for me going

425
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame and getting that an announcement,

426
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: like I knew it was coming, but the fact that

427
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: they caught me off guard and then my son was

428
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: the one to be able to tell me about it,

429
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: it was just so special because I was like, how

430
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: much they've meant to me and like my life and

431
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: even then in my career, like how motivating they were

432
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: when I was going through like the tougher times mentally

433
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: and physically, and to have that was just so special.

434
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: Because my son has no memory of me playing football,

435
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: which means the Browns need to make the Super Bowl

436
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: next year so I can go and play by one game,

437
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: they can have one memory of me playing one play

438
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: with an orange helmet? Will you be the first Hall

439
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: of Famer to actually put that cats back on and play?

440
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: That would be pretty so would that be? I'm gonna

441
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: have to hit the gym this morning if that's gonna happen.

442
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if in shape to hit the gym

443
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: without hurting. I just want to go back to it.

444
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: And you got emotional. I got emotional on this side.

445
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: And you and I've already have talked about this, but

446
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: to have your son and you're kind enough to share

447
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: the video with me that Annie took, to have your

448
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: son come around the corner and just kind of screaming

449
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: and jumping, we made it like that's you. That's the thing, Like,

450
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: you can't script that. There isn't There is no scenario

451
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: you could have ever come up with. It would have

452
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: been as awesome as the reality of that moment. And

453
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: you'll never forget it. And someday when he's older, you

454
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: guys will be able to watch that together and it's

455
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: just like everything that you put into this, everything that

456
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: you sacrificed and you do playing in the National football

457
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: you can say sacrifice. You have to sacrifice things outside

458
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: of the game of football just to be on a roster,

459
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,439

Speaker 1: That's what's so great. That's what's great about kids, man,

468
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: it's so pure adult Like you said, you know, sometimes

469
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: you think back, what are those rocking chair moments? Like

470
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: when you're sitting in a rocky chair and you're eighty

471
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: years old and you're in the nursing home you've got

472
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 1: no teeth and they're they're feeding tube. Yeah, Like, what

473
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: are what are the five or ten things in your

474
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: life that you're gonna remember, because certainly your memory is

475
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: not gonna be like a Rollo dex of a million things,

476
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be one of those five things. So special,

477
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: so special. All right, So talk a little bit about

478
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: last night. So the announce it comes, you guys are

479
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: on stage. Of course you as we said, you guys

480
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: knew then is there like the Hall of Fame? Guys

481
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: get together and we're part of you into Marcus where

482
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: and leave? It's like, what's what happened to block us

483
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: through last night? Yes? So it was. I think the

484
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: bigger parties potentially you're gonna happen the rest of the weekend. Um,

485
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: but because Honors goes pretty late, like yeah, pretty late,

486
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: like too late. I'm like, god, yeah, we got got

487
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: some things to do here. Um. And then after honors,

488
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: we had to do press conference. So we did like

489
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: ninety minutes to press last night, um as a group.

490
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: So I didn't even get out of there until almost eleven.

491
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: And at that point, like it was kind of crazy,

492
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: but Scottsdale was kind of slowing down a little bit. Um,

493
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: and so just me and the wife, we went to

494
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: old town Scottsdale. We went to this B and B Lounge,

495
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: which is a great spot, and it was like a

496
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: big time you know what I mean. So we uh

497
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: we we did damage as much as we could as

498
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: quickly as we could. I needed to get some food

499
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: because I was literally gonna eat my arm. Uh. So

500
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: we got some food, we got some champagne. Um. We

501
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: we celebrated the same way we did when Walter Jones

502
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: is there with the cheap of Corbelle. That's what I

503
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: favored by this story. I was gonna get to that.

504
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: So Walter Jones comes in, you gotta want to have

505
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: a celebratory moment. And I know you had a bunch

506
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: of great wine in your house. We we've talked about that,

507
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: but you want to go some champagne and you had

508
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: a bottle of Corbell, you and Walter and Jones drinking

509
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: Cumbell to celebrate you get in the Hall of Fame

510
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: is all time. Yeah, literally the cheapest bottle of champagne

511
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: you can buy. That's that's all we had because we're

512
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: not really like we're not. I mean, who has champagne

513
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: just laying around the house. I mean totally not me.

514
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: So it was cool. Yet last time we just had

515
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,239
Speaker 1: had some champagne, ordered a bunch of beers and some

516
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: sushi and smashed it. And then it was really cool

517
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: actually because Alex Mack was just randomly close by, so

518
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: he called and so he met us over there and

519
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: then um pupe McCoy he lives down the street, and

520
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: so we ended up just coming back to our little

521
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: airbnb here and having cigars because I brought some cigars

522
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: and drinking beers until way too late and joined the

523
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: desert evening here. That's so awesome. Has there been anybody

524
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: that you know, maybe a surprise and somebody that you

525
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: ran into with all the NFL world gather there that

526
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: you know you never really knew how they felt about you,

527
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: but they came up and showed some like respect or

528
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: anything like that. Yeah, it was really cool. Just seeing

529
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: Anthony monyos Um on the stage and him like welcome

530
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: to the club was awesome, right, because he's one of

531
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: those guys that everyone always says is like, hey, who's

532
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: the best offensive linement of all time? You know, he's

533
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: in that conversation. That's really cool because I've known him

534
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: for quite a while and he actually came to training

535
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: camp with the Browns a little bit and kind of

536
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: did like a little bit of coaching um towards the

537
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: end of my career, so I've got to know him.

538
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: But I think it's just different, like once you get

539
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: into that club, right, it's just such a exclusive club,

540
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: and to be welcomed by him on stage like that

541
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: is really awesome. That is cool. And listen, there's the

542
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: exclusive club, which is just getting in the Hall of Fame.

543
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: Then there's first ballot, which is the exclusive club, and

544
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: you are you are in both of those, So that's cool.

545
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 1: So you're hanging out with your boys, obviously you went

546
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: out with your wife. You said, what was it like

547
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: to have some of your teammates there to be able

548
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: to share that moment with and kind of just sit around.

549
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you guys were reminiscent and having a

550
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: like to be a fly on the wall, right, I'm

551
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: sure it was a great man. It was really cool. Um.

552
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: I knew that this last night with the announcement was

553
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: going to be super late and super busy, so we

554
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: didn't like try to plan anything crazy because it's it's time. Yeah,

555
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: not like we're in Vegas or Miami where it goes

556
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: all night, and like today, I've got stuff going on,

557
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: Like the sun is just coming up right now in

558
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: Phoenix at seven am, And so I knew, like, okay,

559
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: obviously this is a big day today too. We've got

560
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 1: the Merlin Olson Hall of Fame luncheon and then you know,

561
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: there's just tons of stuff. Uh. So we didn't like

562
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: really plan anything. But all of a sudden, I have

563
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: Alex mac who is my best friend from the league,

564
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: who was part of so many of those memories and

565
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: stories during my career, to just like randomly be close

566
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: by and be like, hey, I'm hungry for some sushi

567
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: and a couple of beers. That was just like the

568
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: icing on the cake, I think with first of all

569
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: being surprised by the announcement, having my son tell me,

570
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: and then just having Alex maclick walked through the door

571
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: like it's cheers. Hey, so did you Enjoel Mantonio consult

572
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: on that you're both going maroon here on stage there? Uh,

573
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: that is funny. Um, DeMarcus Ware was in maroon with

574
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: all and that's a that's a good looking man. Why

575
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: I got I got to do the serious x M

576
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: show with him after and the host was like, oh,

577
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: you guys look the same and like, no, man, this,

578
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: I would never put myself on that level. Lineman pretending

579
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: to try to have a nice suit and uh, he

580
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: was looking sharp. But I think, old Lineman, we look

581
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: good in maroon. It's good. But we knew that that

582
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: was like right, you know, you don't want to just

583
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: come out in like brown and orange, like that's just

584
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: a little too much in your face, that subtle hint

585
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 1: like Brown's I got you back, baby, absolutely? All right.

586
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Two last questions we'll get yeah, because I know you're busy.

587
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: First one, what was going through your mind when you

588
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: walked on stage? When you were walking out in front

589
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: of because the crowd was full of NFL luminaries. Hall

590
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: of Fame was current stars, and you were the first,

591
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: and this was your first presentation where the world was

592
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: now gonna know what what you've known for a little while. Yeah. Honestly,

593
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: when I was walking out there, I was thinking, all right,

594
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: who can I find in the crowd that I know?

595
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: So I saw some of the Browns contingent. I saw

596
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: JW and with me and p J B and Jenkins um,

597
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: and then that was cool. So they stood up and

598
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: I was giving them the fist, and then I was

599
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: looking for the family, like I was like, where's the kids,

600
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: because I was sure that that was gonna be a

601
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: circus and like something crazy it's gonna be happening. Uh.

602
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, the way the theater was, it was kind

603
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: of dark in the audience, so you couldn't Yeah, but

604
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: so I kind of quickly scanned the audience and you

605
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: just like you said, it's just all NFL luminaries, like

606
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: current guys that are up for awards and former players, um,

607
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: and it's special. And then I also was cognizant of like,

608
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: all right, take this moment in, take the snapshot and

609
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: try to remember this as much as you can see

610
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: everybody's reaction when they came out, because I wanted to

611
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: see all the other guys in my class how they

612
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: would show it on their face. And Zach Thomas was

613
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: the one that really you could see when they announced,

614
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: showed the most emotion on his face. And I got

615
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: a chance to talk with him a little bit, brother Zach,

616
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: because I told him, hey, man, I've been telling my

617
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: kids that they're going to meet their cousins this week

618
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: because it's got some kids that are kind of close

619
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: at age to the Hall of Fame. But I told him,

620
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: I go, dude, I'm so happy that you're in my

621
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: class because for like three or four years, I forget

622
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: how many times he was a finalist. I'm like, every

623
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: time people would ask Jack Thomas should be in this class,

624
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: it's no brain look at pros. Yeah, absolutely, and the

625
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: tackles and like what he meant a story in the

626
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: number of years in the NFL and for him to wait,

627
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: but then being in my class, you could tell the waiting.

628
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: I think it builds on you in a good but

629
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: all also a little bit of a bad way. But

630
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: once that releases, it's like a pressure release. You can

631
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: see it on his face, and so that was really special.

632
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I know you did a brief video to

633
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: the fans, but kind of what if there's anything else

634
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: you'd like to say just to the fans or to

635
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland or two, you know, just your former to anybody

636
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: who's listen, because you know everybody's gonna be listening to

637
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: this and we get a chance talk to you, and

638
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: it's fun because it's just it's perfect to have you

639
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: on on Brown's Daily after this because it's like home

640
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: for you and you're comfortable on the show. But is

641
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: there anything you know that it may be a memory,

642
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: a certain memory that flashed through your mind that you

643
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: wanted to bring up, Just something for for the fans

644
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: to kind of to soak in here at the end

645
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: of this, because you've seen the outpouring of love and

646
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: adelation and and all of those things on social media

647
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: and really just everywhere in Cleveland. You can feel it. Yeah,

648
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: I think that as I was sitting up on stage,

649
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: standing up there and it was almost an out of

650
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: body experience because it felt like I was a Bronze

651
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: fan experiencing a nameless face was Browns player that had

652
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: only played his career as a Brown and I was

653
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: like so proud in that moment of everything that I've

654
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: done in my career and the fact that I was

655
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: able to share it with Browns fans in that moment

656
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: and like simultaneously be in two places, like be the

657
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: body on the stage, would also be the fans in

658
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland with so much pride in one of our players.

659
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: And it was. It was really awesome. And I can't

660
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,080

00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: the long stretch of one of those tough seasons, you

687
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: had an opportunity be traded and you could go to

688
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: a better team, and you chose against it because you

689
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,320

690
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,120

00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: and Tim Brown, the newest members of the Pro Football

718
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. This indomitable left Taco made ten straight

719
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls and played in more than ten thousand straight stants.

720
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: Joel Thomas all right, then now Joe Thomas afterwards was

721
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: interviewed talking about his journey to the Hall of Fame.

722
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,479
Speaker 1: At what point he realized that the Hall of Fame

723
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: was a possibility. I don't think any of us when

724
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: we were rookie said in our mind, like my goal

725
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: right now is the Hall of Fame. Now, I may

726
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: have said it, but I don't think that's what was

727
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: in our sites. Because you get to the Hall of

728
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: Fame by having a good day to day and then

729
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: tomorrow just trying to get one percent better, and then

730
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: you build a process. I just want to be a

731
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: little bit better than I was the day before, and

732
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: then pretty soon you wake up and I made the

733
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. That's awesome, Like, now my sights get a

734
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: little bit higher. And then you just keep working things

735
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: one day at a time, and a lot of times

736
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: it's those people around you that are the ones that

737
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: are motivating you, because it's easy if you're just doing

738
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: it for yourself to get in the dull drums, especially

739
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: if you're losing, like uh, we seem to do a

740
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: little bit in Cleveland. But you've got guys around you

741
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: that you know they're they're counting on you, and so

742
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: then they're the ones. They're the brothers that kind of

743
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: pull you through some of those dark, tough times and

744
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: in the end you look back and you're like, wow,

745
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: there was a lot of things that happened over my

746
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: eleven years in the NFL, not always good, but the

747
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: journey tells the story of my career and I wouldn't

748
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: change anything. I mean, I just love this guy and

749
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: he had emotional he got emotional in our interview earlier.

750
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: It's just awesome. He's such a good guy. Like he

751
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: was the greatest football player, maybe the greatest left tackle

752
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: of all time. He's certainly in the game if they

753
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: were to play a game of all time greats. He's

754
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: one of the left tackles and if he's not starting,

755
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: he's a top backup. But he is in that game.

756
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: He is on the roster of the greatest football game

757
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: that could ever be played. And he's a better human being.

758
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 1: He's a better guy. It's unbelievable. Thomas finally talking about

759
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: being to Cleveland Brown and the loyalty of the Browns

760
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: fan base. I think as a Cleveland Brown, being the

761
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: first Brown inducted since the team came back, it's really

762
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: special for me because that franchise has endured some really

763
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: tough times, but those fans are still loyal and passionate,

764
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: and they still show up and it still is their

765
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: identity that they're Brown fans. And I think it's it's

766
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: great for all of Brown's nation to have me being

767
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: inducted this season. Like the markets was just talking about

768
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: a vessel for their fandom right here, somebody that was

769
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: able to show up every single Sunday and play for

770
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: those fans, to give my best effort because I know

771
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: they were paying to come and watch me work, and

772
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: I don't pay to watch anybody work. I wouldn't go.

773
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you're doing. I'm not paying, but

774
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: the loyalty in that passion, I think is what kind

775
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: of brings you through some of those challenging times. All right,

776
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: that's the half, Right. They're awesome stuff, and you guys

00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: the I really like that interview. Jay said, I had

779
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: tears in my eyes when you talked about Joe Sun

780
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: saying we made it as a father hit me directly

781
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: in the heart. Awesome. It's a congrats off for everything,

782
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,160

789
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: presented by Vivid Seats and official fan experience partner of

790
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. What do people have for us? US?

791
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: An ashtag ask CBD. Lots of Hoff stuff today, lots

792
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: off questions for us today. This one comes in from Robert,

793
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: who would be the absolute best to be the one

794
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: to introduce the Hop into the in the induction ceremony

795
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: in August. Boy, that is such a good question. It's

796
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: such a good question, and I don't know that I

797
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: have the answer to that, to be honest with you.

798
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: It asked me somebody that that Joe would like, So honestly,

799
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: the first name that came to my mind, believe it

800
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: or not, as The Rock, because The Rock and Joe

801
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: Thomas became good friends when he was doing the that

802
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: show where he was on NBC. I'll look it up

803
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: right now, but they became good friends. And and he's

804
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: somebody who really not only admired Joe Thomas, appreciate his greatness,

805
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: and also he played football, you know, in his day

806
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: at the u UM. So that's something comes to my mind.

807
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: I think Alex mac could certainly do it. I think

808
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: Mitchell Schwartz could do it. Think it was called the

809
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: Titan Games and and the Hof dominated it, and then

810
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: the Rock like The Rock loves The Rock loves, So

811
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: that would be maybe maybe him, but anybody, any one

812
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: of his offensive lineman, any of Yeah, I think The

813
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: Rock would be great, though. I might float them, and

814
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: I might float that out to the half himself, be like,

815
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: maybe we worked out, reached out to the great One,

816
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: haven't been why not get some start he deservest. For sure,

817
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: I'd be a flashy way to get inducted. Yeah, and

818
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: there's no better way for the great Joe Thomas, right then,

819
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: the great One. I mean, look, he's not a flashy guy,

820
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 1: but it would actually be pretty funny if if that's

821
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: the way that it happened. Um, but yeah, the Rock

822
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: really impressed, was really impressed by the Hof on the

823
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 1: Titan game. So maybe maybe we'll see maybe that's a possibility.

824
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. But any one of his former teammates,

825
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody, or you could even go the opposite way,

826
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: right you could have a pass rusher who's in the

827
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: Hall of Aime already induct him saying about how tough

828
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: it was to go against Joe Thomas and how good

829
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: he was, because that obviously would have tons of credibility.

830
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure, So we'll see, we'll see. It's

831
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: a good question though. This next one comes in from

832
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: Rally in the North. Congrats to the hop Thinking back,

833
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: what do you think was the kindest action Joe Thomas

834
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: ever took during his tenure with the Browns on or

835
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: off the field. I think there are so many things

836
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: that he does. But I would remember in training camp

837
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: watching him, you know, sign autographs for everybody and just

838
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: be gracious with everybody when he was by far the

839
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: best player. He never you know, folks, he was could

840
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: have gone and played on the Denver Broncos. He would

841
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: be living in Denver somewhere in a beautiful house. He

842
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: would have won a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning. And

843
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: he wanted to stay in Cleveland. He wanted to see

844
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: it through that loyalty that you can count on him,

845
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: that dependability. To me, that is talking about Kay and

846
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: that is the most selfless thing I could even think

847
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: of for him. But he was just always great with

848
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: the fans, uh, great with the media. You know, he

849
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: was always winning the Good Guy Award. Tremendous in the community.

850
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: You know, he and Annie would be with the taste

851
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: of the Browns and and he's so involved in so

852
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: many different charities and he just has made He and

853
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: his wife Annie are just great people. Um, So there's

854
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 1: so many His whole legacy is what I would say

855
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: is the fact, you know, he's so big with the

856
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: U s O. He he just gives back. He is

857
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: such a great guy off of the field. And he

858
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 1: doesn't do it for the limelight. He's not looking for,

859
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: you know, the limelight to come and and to be

860
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: basically you know, look at all the things I do.

861
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: He does a lot of it without any need to

862
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: do it because he wants to and he wants to

863
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: be a part of it. And he does more than

864
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: I think people really understand he and Annie both and

865
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: that's that's tells you everything. And you know he's he

866
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: is happy to be charitable at all times. Some people,

867
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes people are charitable for the cameras or

868
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: for you know what it means for I mean, he

869
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: does it in in the dark, and I think that's

870
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: what really stands out about job. All right. Last one

871
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: here from a Kman forty two. You talked about hitting

872
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: the gym with the half. I'm big about the gym. Two.

873
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: What's some impressive stuff that you've seen the hawk here

874
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: in the gym. Everything he just makes weight look like

875
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: it's fake. He throws a run. We were benching and like,

876
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: I'm really pumped when I can do about six of

877
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: the half. So like if the half is you know,

878
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: doing we'll call it three pounds. I want to be

879
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: at like one eight, right, that's kind of the ratio. Now,

880
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: there's some things where I'm a little bit closer to

881
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: like se of him. Um. But we were benching and

882
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: I was doing two oh five it was, which was

883
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: for me is very heavy, uh, and he was doing

884
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: three fifteen. So that's three forty fives on each side,

885
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: and like it looked like it was nothing like that

886
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: would crush me, that would come right down on my

887
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: chest and absolutely crush me. And he's like, oh, I'm

888
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: not even that strong at this, just the way that

889
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: he would, like, you know, even hits the like like

890
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: a snatch or power clean. His legs are so strong

891
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: every He's just strong as an ox. And it just

892
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: makes everything look easy in the gym. And he gets

893
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: after it like he is. We get after it when

894
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: we were in there. There's a lot of things we

895
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: do are moms, which is every minute on the minute,

896
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: and you got that buzzer going, and you may have

897
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: to do two different things. It could be you know, uh,

898
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: hang clean and press and then eight of those and

899
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: then you gotta hit eight ben over rose and then

900
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: ding it. You might not even get a chance to rest.

901
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: But it is like everything he does as impressive. That's

902
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: what's nuts about him. It's he's obviously a hashtag athlete,

903
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: is a Hall of fame or but he's still out

904
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: there grinding today. You see a lot of people once

905
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: they retire and they go the Hall of Fame, and

906
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: you can even see some of the people on the

907
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: stage last night not the best. They're not they don't

908
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: look like they can play, or they're certainly not in

909
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: their best shape that they've ever been in. He absolutely is.

910
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: He's a he's a beast. Whatever he's into, he is into,

911
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: whether that's coffee, working out, food, whine at times. Obviously

912
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: the way that he approached being you know, the best

913
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: left tackle in the history of the game, or arguably

914
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: he certainly is. In the conversation with Anthony Mundo's right

915
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: that that's because he is. He's he's just without parallel

916
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: in terms of natural gifts and then the dedication. But

917
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: like in the gym, like three to me is a lot,

918
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: or watching him squat and he's just like keeps putting on.

919
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: You're like, what are you doing just crushed me into

920
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: the ground. It just makes everything looks so he's he's like,

921
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm not that good at this. He's a

922
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: he's a beast, just a great I could be happy.

923
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: We should do it like we should have half shows

924
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: all the time. He's worthy of that, alright. Our number two,

925
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,040

961
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: it was great. I think it's the greatest moment since

962
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: the Browns have come back. I really do. I I

963
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: don't think it's Uh. I don't think anything else can

964
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: really even come close to it for various reasons, but

965
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: because of the greatness and the scope of what he's

966
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: done and where he's going and how much he deserves

967
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: it and how he watched it and uh, and we

968
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: watched it while he played, and we've gotten to know

969
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: him even better when he you know, gave up playing

970
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: and has still been around him, been a big part

971
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: of the family. Uh. It was just it was just

972
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: great to see him walk through the tunnel and come

973
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: out on stage was just beautiful. And what he said

974
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: in the press conference after the event, after the NFL

975
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: Honors program, when he was with all of the other

976
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: members of the class going into Canton this year was

977
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: even better because you know, he points out what was

978
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: so important, and that was he played for the fans

979
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: here in Cleveland. Uh, to the point where he refused

980
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 1: to be traded and wanted to stay and finish out

981
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: his career here. And it was tough, you know, record

982
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 1: wise to stay here. I mean, there were a lot

983
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: of reasons to accept the trade, but I you know,

984
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: it's just I was just smiling year to year because

985
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm so happy. I'm so happy for him. Yeah, I

986
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: got a chance to talk with him this morning, and

987
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned it's just as we've gotten to know him

988
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: better off the field. It's rare that you find somebody

989
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: that is that good at what they do in their profession.

990
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: But it's also just that good of a guy. And

991
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: I think that's what really makes him so special. Yeah,

992
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: he is, uh, you know, he's just so down to

993
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: earth and and and so you know, just he's got

994
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: his feet on the ground. And you know, as Doug

995
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: Deakins used to always say to me, Joe had the

996
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: perfect feet for an offensive life. It was one of

997
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 1: the reasons why he was so great. But I mean

998
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 1: just in the way he carries himself and the way

999
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: he is with his family and how dedicated he is

1000
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: to his family. But the boot that he gets out

1001
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: of coming back and remaining such a big part of

1002
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: the Browns at the start of the season when he

1003
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: went into the Legends club, and I know that that

1004
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: was a that was a really emotional moment for him,

1005
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: and I'm saying to myself, well, this is great, but

1006
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: imagine what's down the road in a couple of months

1007
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: when you know, as we all anticipated, I hope for

1008
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 1: that he would gain entrance into the Hall of Fame.

1009
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: But um, you know, when he's amongst the fans, when

1010
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: he's brought out and like one of those games and

1011
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: Captain's as a member of the alumni, I mean, he

1012
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: is really into it and he connects them, and and

1013
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: that's sort of is I mean, he just had an

1014
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: instant connection with everybody from the day he was drafted

1015
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: and from what he did on draft day. I mean

1016
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 1: it was so unique, but it was so Joe right.

1017
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: He went fishing, is what Jim is alluding to there.

1018
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: And you know, as the voice of the Browns, you

1019
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: call all of the great moments and all of the

1020
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: big plays and the big touchdowns. But that doesn't lend

1021
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: itself to you saying the name Joe Thomas in the booth, right,

1022
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: I Mean, if you call his name, it's typically unfortunately

1023
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: a penalty or something bad. So is that one of

1024
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: the weird things about you know, your time as the

1025
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: voice of the Browns is that the best player that

1026
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: you've had the pleasure of calling games for is somebody

1027
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: whose name he probably never wanted you to say it. Yeah.

1028
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's like the old story about if you're

1029
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, you're doing a baseball game, and if you

1030
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: don't mention the home flight up prior, if he had

1031
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good night you know, calling balls and strikes. Um,

1032
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, Um, And I can you know, I

1033
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: I really think with a guy like Joe Thomas, and

1034
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: when you draft a guy like him at that particular position,

1035
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: Nathan and see if you agree with me, you draft him.

1036
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: He's the number three pick in the draft. It was

1037
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: a much needed draft pick for the Bronze because they

1038
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: had a swinging door at left tackle and literally, I

1039
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,720
Speaker 1: mean they were getting quarterbacks scrambled because they just didn't

1040
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: have a left tackle. Uh So now you have a

1041
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: guy and so you draft him at number three and

1042
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: you put him out there at left tackle, and you

1043
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: hope that you come back ten years later and you say,

1044
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: how did we do there? And I don't think it

1045
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: took ten years to take a look at how we

1046
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: were gonna do with Joe Thomas. I think I don't

1047
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: even think it took ten games to take a look

1048
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: at how we were gonna be with Joe Thomas. I mean,

1049
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: he was that good right away. And you know what

1050
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: I think the best description uh that he brought peace

1051
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: to the left side of the Browns offensive line because

1052
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: it quieted down over there and it gave the quarterbacks

1053
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: at least a fighting chance to stay in there and

1054
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: try and make plays and to try and and stay healthy.

1055
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: And that's what he was. I mean, he was just amazing.

1056
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: But you know, I remember a lot of times. I remember,

1057
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: maybe a year or so ago. I remember we were

1058
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,720
Speaker 1: doing a pregame show. You were up in the radio

1059
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: book with us and No Thomas came in and he

1060
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: would make an appearance and you had a you had

1061
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: a question about a certain I don't know, maybe a

1062
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: blocking scheme or something like that. This was after he

1063
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: had baked the pregame show and he was talking out

1064
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,959
Speaker 1: and I looked over. I was getting set to put

1065
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: my stuff down to the table, and he was giving

1066
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: you like fifteen minutes drawing things out, drawing up a

1067
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: folder and drawing the playoff for you enough, going wow,

1068
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: this is this is really cool. But that's the way

1069
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: he was I mean he was a technician, a master technician,

1070
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, he and he loves the game of football.

1071
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: He loves the talk ball. Yeah, I know exactly' talking

1072
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: about because he he really helped me, you know, in

1073
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: preparation to work with you this year in terms of

1074
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: my understanding of of offensive line football, offensive line play,

1075
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: the run schemes. What a pin it was pin pool.

1076
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: I remember we were talking about a pin pool that

1077
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: day and he's diagramming it up in it. He's like,

1078
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: it could be like this, it could be like this,

1079
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: and all just he's a savant with that stuff. And

1080
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: that's the thing that's so incredible is not only was

1081
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: he so physically gifted, but his approach to the game

1082
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: was such that, you know, he wasn't nervous. He talked

1083
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 1: about a calmness. He was calm because and I was

1084
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: actually talking with Jim Schwartz about it yesterday. He said

1085
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: he was low blood pressure. He never was rattled. And

1086
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: that's because he was prepared for everything. If you have

1087
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: the answers to every question that could possibly be asked

1088
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: on a test, you're not worried about taking that test.

1089
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: And that was Joe Thomas, right, Yeah, absolutely, he really was, Um,

1090
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, wasn't it last summer Nathan didn't

1091
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: Bill Callahan bring him out kind of meet with the

1092
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,720
Speaker 1: offensive line and he went through all of the different

1093
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 1: study traits that he had and the notebooks that he kept,

1094
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: and the and the really Joe Thomas drills that he

1095
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: had devised. You know, that made him better because let's

1096
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: face it, I mean, you know, he was a different

1097
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: kind of left tackle. He wasn't a big, big left tackle, right.

1098
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: He wasn't one of these mammoth guys that teams are

1099
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: drafting right now and they put them out there on

1100
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: size and growth and believe that that's going to get

1101
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 1: it done. And maybe it does, but maybe it doesn't.

1102
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 1: But with him, it was really so technically put together.

1103
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he had it down to a science. Um,

1104
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 1: it's up that he you know, he had to overcome

1105
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,320
Speaker 1: the fact that he wasn't big. I think he was

1106
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: very comfortable at the way he played because it just

1107
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: made him a different kind of a very agile left tackle.

1108
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: He brought beautiful movement to what he was doing. I mean,

1109
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,720
Speaker 1: if you were an offensive line freako and you wanted

1110
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: to really dial in and watch a game, and watch him.

1111
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: It was a sympathy of movement. It really was. It

1112
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: was an art form. And you mentioned when he was

1113
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: here the summer. I remember at the end he was

1114
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: working with Jed Wills on his kickstep and then the

1115
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: next thing you know, Joe Thomas is kick stepping, kickstepping

1116
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: on one leg thirty yards backward as fast as most

1117
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: people could run forwards, and looked like a gazelle. I

1118
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:43,479
Speaker 1: mean it was nuts. Yeah, yeah, just tremendous. I mean, uh,

1119
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: you know, and really, I mean Joe I think is

1120
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,399
Speaker 1: you know, he's becoming uh fast, becoming whatever he wants

1121
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: to become. But if he really wanted to really dig

1122
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: in to the whole media part of this and the

1123
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: podcast analyst and and go on and be one of

1124
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 1: a part of a team, you know, each and every

1125
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: one day for one of the televising networks, he'd be

1126
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: great at it because you know, some of those guys

1127
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: get in there and they just kind of lean on

1128
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, height, weight and where you went to college,

1129
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: and Joe's way beyond that and which you know, definitely

1130
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: put in the amazing work that it takes to be

1131
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 1: really good at that. And there's no doubt in my mind.

1132
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: You know that if he wanted to do that, he

1133
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: could do it, and then he would do it like

1134
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: he's done everything else at a very very high level. Yeah,

1135
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: we're very fortunate to have him on the preseason broadcasts

1136
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 1: on television for the Cleveland Browns, And obviously, I think

1137
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: it's only a matter of time before a Fox or

1138
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 1: an Amazon or a CBS locks him up and he's

1139
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: doing that in the big time. It's really up to him.

1140
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: I think when he wants to it. I know that

1141
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm doing the job I'm doing with you because he

1142
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: said not right now for me, so and I'm fine

1143
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: with that because he is Joe Thomas. But you know

1144
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: you talked about earlier, you mentioned Deek and and you

1145
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 1: know Deek was seventy three left tackle. Joe Thomas seventy

1146
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: three left tackle, and so you got to watch his

1147
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: whole career next to Doug Deacon, who has an unbelievable,

1148
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, resume in his own right, but also an

1149
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:06,439
Speaker 1: unbelievable appreciation for what an offensive lineman can do. What

1150
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 1: was it like kind of you know, getting to to

1151
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: see Joe Thomas through Deeck's eyes, right next to you

1152
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, there were there were some really touching moments, Nathan.

1153
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: I think when Joe first came on the scene and

1154
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: his first year in his first training camp. I remember

1155
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: him coming over to Doug and introducing himself, and Doug was,

1156
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, really thrilled to meet him and thrilled that

1157
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: the Browns finally addressed that spot. And I really remember

1158
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: Joe kind of saying, Hey, are you okay that I'm

1159
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: gonna wear number seventy three because that was you know,

1160
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: that was Doug Eakins number, which I thought was really cool.

1161
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: The other the other really touching moment was um when

1162
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: Doug when Doug's son Spencer had their first child, uh,

1163
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, a baby boy, and Doug was just tickle

1164
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: pink and we were coming into summer training camp and

1165
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: Doug wanted Spencer, which he did to bring, you know,

1166
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: the his new son out, and he got him a

1167
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: little seventy three jersey and uh, you know, I can

1168
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: remember Doug taking a picture holding on to his grandson

1169
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: with Joe Thomas on the other side that and it

1170
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: met a it met a ton to Duck. But Doug's

1171
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: ultimate compliment I think about Joe Thomas really probably hit

1172
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: it out of the park. And I really think Tony

1173
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: Gross and Mary Kay Cabot leaned on this a little

1174
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: bit in their presentation to the voting body um and

1175
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: he said Joe Thomas was a left tackle that could

1176
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: play in any era, any era, which is really, I think,

1177
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, a high compliment because the NFL goes through

1178
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: different eras and different styles of play, but Joe Thomas

1179
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: would have been the constant. He would have been successful,

1180
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: he would have been at the top of the class

1181
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: in any era in the NFL. And and that's what

1182
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: Doug always thought about Joe Thomas, and that is certainly

1183
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: high praise from Deek there. You know, one of the

1184
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: things that I talked about, or I've been talking about

1185
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: because of the ideas come up from Dion Sanders that

1186
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fames watered down. You know, there's the

1187
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: hall within. He wants a hall within the Hall. And

1188
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: and I think on one level, if your first ballot

1189
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, that's a designation, right. But another way

1190
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: to look at it is and something I've talked about

1191
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: a little bit is if there were was the ultimate

1192
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: football game, the best football game of all time? Fifty

1193
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: three on fifty three. Joe Thomas is in that game

1194
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: without question. Sure, and that's I mean, you know it's

1195
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: that's when you think about any And he was telling

1196
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: us earlier on the show, you know, Anthony Mono's basically

1197
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: kind of said, you know, welcome to the club and

1198
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: told him, you know how much admiration he had for

1199
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: for Joe, and you know that might be the comp

1200
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: he might Moonos might be starting on one team and

1201
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas might be starting on the other in the

1202
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: Ultimate Football Game. And that's pretty cool. Yeah, that is

1203
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: That is pretty cool, boy. Yeah, yeah, And what a

1204
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: great way to be greeted and congratulated on getting the

1205
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: honor from Anthony Munos, who, uh, you know was the

1206
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: definition of left tackle. I mean, you know, when God

1207
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: poured the mold of a left tackle, it might have

1208
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: been in the form and shape of Anthony moonyards. You're right.

1209
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: So here's the one thing that I'm taking away from

1210
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: from my talk with with the Half is that everybody

1211
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: listening just keep one semi decent or nice bottle of

1212
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: champagne in your house because Jim, I don't know if

1213
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: you heard this earlier, but when Walter Jones came to

1214
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: the door, and he had the great moment of of

1215
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: Joe's son running to him saying, we did it, Dad,

1216
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: we made it. We made it. And he goes in

1217
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,919
Speaker 1: and they wanted to celebrate and and have a little

1218
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: champagne with Walter Jones and Joe Thomas celebrated his you know,

1219
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: the announcement or the finding out that he was gonna

1220
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 1: be a Pro Football Hall of Famer, with Walter Jones

1221
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 1: drinking Corbell in a bottle of nine dollar bottle of corbell.

1222
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: So he said, in the future, I think I need

1223
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: to have a nicer champagne on hand, just in case

1224
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: something wild happened. So well, it's a lesson for all

1225
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: of us out there, Jim. Yeah, I will tell you listen, nation,

1226
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: and I hope everybody, I hope every but he really

1227
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: makes a pilgrimage down there, um you know, in when

1228
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: it happens, because I think he wants to celebrate with

1229
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: all of you, with all of you, I mean with

1230
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 1: all of us. I mean he really wants that. I

1231
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: know that, uh, you know, really the first aside from

1232
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 1: family and the beautiful Annie and the family and his

1233
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 1: mom and dead and all that, I mean, the Bronx fans,

1234
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: we're right there on his on his pecking list to

1235
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: make sure that he congratulated them and thanked them a

1236
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: great deal. So, you know, I remember when Ozzy went

1237
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: in a Nathan when the Bronze came back and their

1238
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: first game was the Hall of Fame game against Dallas,

1239
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: and that was when Ozzy was inducted in. There was

1240
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of an awkward feeling. As great as

1241
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: the Wizard of Oz was, and it was all because

1242
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: of the Baltimore thing, you know, I mean, you know,

1243
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? You know, and his

1244
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,439
Speaker 1: arn't model gonna be there, and it kind of through

1245
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: a bit of a shadow over it, which is a

1246
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: shame because Ozzy was a great, great Cleveland brown Now

1247
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: we can totally what this slight clear that we're we're

1248
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: past all of that, and I think everybody should make

1249
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: sure that they carve out that weekend and and make

1250
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: sure they get down there to Canon because that is

1251
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, our first real big celebration as

1252
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: a as a big Cleveland Browns family. You're exactly right,

1253
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: and I get chills hearing you say that this is

1254
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: the greatest accomplishment as you said of the brown sense

1255
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: they've come back. You know it really is Joe Thomas

1256
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: going to Hall of Fame, And you are exactly right.

1257
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: He is the kind of guy that would like nothing

1258
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: more than to be tipping back a few beers with

1259
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: Browns fans celebrating the fact that he is in the

1260
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. And so I think that certainly is

1261
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: in play. If you had to your make your way

1262
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: out to Canton, I think that it will be obviously

1263
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: very special. What we do not want you, we do

1264
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: not want the the iconic Jim Donovan called, the only

1265
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: thing missing is all of you to apply to this

1266
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame ceremony and can all get there, get

1267
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: your butts there, Jim, right right, that's right. The only

1268
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: thing when we're not missing is the fact that all

1269
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: of you are there. That's that's the new line on

1270
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: that one. So that's there, that's right, Or get on out,

1278
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: little bit as well. That's coming up when Cleveland Browns

1282
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. I don't think it was ever in doubt,

1283
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: because is ever since you came in the league. You

1284
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: took one of the toughest jobs that you have on

1285
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: the football field and made it look easy and I

1286
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: always appreciate it. You know what a great hard worker

1287
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: we are, and the technician that you were in the

1288
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: tough football player that you were, and I think you know,

1289
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: over the course of your career you probably didn't get

1290
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: as many wins as you wanted, but what you did

1291
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: was you showed that you were the best of the best.

1292
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: Ah the legendary Doug Deacon with some great words for

1293
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: the hof Joe Thomas there, all right, we're gonna talk

1294
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: special teams. We've got staff writer Anthony Poisel here, but

1295
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: let's get some of the highlights and there were many,

1296
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean, special teams gave us some of the biggest

1297
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: plays of the year. Fifty eight yard walk off field

1298
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: goals Donovan Peoples, Jones one of I think there are

1299
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 1: three punt return touchdowns in the league this year, maybe

1300
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: three at the end of the season. We got one

1301
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 1: of those two. Let's take a listen. Cult snaps the

1302
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: horn Cats to put it down, snap back, ball down.

1303
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 1: He's into it. Plenty of diance that kicking up at

1304
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: it is good. He got it from fifty one yards away.

1305
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: Good high punt of can He's gonna let it go

1306
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: and it hits it side the five and it cut

1307
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: trapped out here the two yard line. Beautiful chap by

1308
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: bohork As to depend them in down at the one.

1309
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: How about Bohorcs, we have not seen directional punting like

1310
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: this with the brown sense, I would say Britain Colquitt

1311
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: was here, a very accomplished veteran. That's a great ball

1312
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: there from Bohorcs. He's becoming a more consistent performer. Uh.

1313
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: You know, we signed Corey as a free agent. That's

1314
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: what we expected from him. He had some good games, really,

1315
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: but had some games that you know he'd like to

1316
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: take back. We'd all have to take back. But he's

1317
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: really improved and he's focused. I love his mentality, I

1318
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: love his work ethic, and he's very talented in waiting

1319
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: on the snap from Hewlett sends it back, the Horcas

1320
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 1: quickly hangs one up in the air. It goes way

1321
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: over to the far sideline, headed head at the two

1322
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: and one out. About what a job by Corey Bohorkes.

1323
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: They'll mark it out at the four Donovan People's joves

1324
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: back and back catches and he's forty five. Now where's

1325
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: he gonna go? Cuts right out of a tackle, out

1326
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: of another tackle, thirty thirty five, forty forty five fifty

1327
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: he's down the side one thirty thirty twenty fifty ten. Fuck,

1328
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: he's gone touchdown down him in people's jaws will snap

1329
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: it back. It is back. The Horks puts it down,

1330
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 1: York into it, end over him. That kick is up

1331
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: and the kick is gone. He got it. I've seen

1332
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 1: him practice and since we've drafted him. Um, I've got

1333
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in his leg. You know, sixty

1334
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: eight squater stretch, but you know he's got a tremendous leg.

1335
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of confidence in that leg. It's

1336
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: a fifty eight yard field goal. And Timber the rookie

1337
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: from l s U Kan York trying to win the

1338
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: game for the Browns. Thirteen seconds remaining, he lights it

1339
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: up for hork Is with his stem the ground in

1340
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: the forty eight kill went over the ball, step back,

1341
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: he's into it. Line drive end on round to kick

1342
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: is up and it is it is gone. Can you

1343
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: get the hell goal with from your seconds? Care York,

1344
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: your dode on un ship that had Flinty on it,

1345
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: and it is good. It really felt like it was

1346
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a magical season after that. I'll be don

1347
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: this with you. And unfortunately that was not the way

1348
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: that it went. And and a p talk about the

1349
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: specialist really quickly. Here you got Corey bull Orkes, who

1350
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: I thought was tremendous this season for the brown seventh

1351
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: and total average, great directional punning actually played a big

1352
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: role in some of our wins. He's under contract. Charlie Hewlett,

1353
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: the Battery's back. York will be back. Everybody knows he's

1354
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: gotta be more consistent. Seventy five percent on field goal.

1355
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 1: It's gotta be better and and it will be hopefully. Yeah, definitely,

1356
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's the big thing that you're looking

1357
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: at next year when you when you were taking a

1358
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: look at what where can this group change, what can

1359
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: be better? It's it's all about just cad finding a

1360
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 1: little bit more consistency, right and uh, improving from that

1361
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: semi five percent. And really, you know, you're looking at

1362
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: the second half of the year when the weather got colder,

1363
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: the kicking conditions got harder. That's where we all knew it.

1364
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: It's that second half of the the year where it gets

1365
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: extremely difficult to kick in Cleveland. And um, I think

1366
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: you know the thing with Katie talked about it himself

1367
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: is is he just it's a it's it's kind of

1368
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: a not a confidence thing, but just still a mental

1369
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: thing and getting used to kicking in those kind of

1370
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 1: conditions just about every Sunday when you get to the

1371
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 1: second half of the season. He didn't have that in

1372
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 1: an l s U and uh, there was definitely an

1373
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: adjustment to be made for that this year. And that's

1374
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: the thing that he said he's focusing on the most

1375
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: of this offseason. It's not anything technique, it's about just

1376
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 1: staying mentally sharp and staying locked in. Um. Now we'll

1377
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 1: see what that means next year for him. Yea, and

1378
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: I would expect him to get better. But Horcos was excellent.

1379
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: I thought our our coverage teams, especially as the season

1380
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: went on, we're excellent. BPJ had the big punt return touchdown.

1381
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: You're supposed to have JackAM Grant, who was a pro bowler,

1382
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: all pro you never had him, and that's gonna be

1383
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: the big change. Can he come back and be the

1384
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: guy that he was before? Yeah? Absolutely. It was very

1385
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 1: unfortunate that that injury happened in training camp. I know,

1386
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 1: I was very excited to see what Chachim did after

1387
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: he was a pro bowler in one and he came

1388
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 1: out in training camp, had a great start. Look like,

1389
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: at least offensively, he was gonna play a pretty big

1390
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 1: role in the receiving room there. Um. But yeah, he definitely,

1391
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, hope that he's able to be back at

1392
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: the same level he was when he does come back

1393
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: this year. And um, you know, I will give credit

1394
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: to to dinavand People's Jones and Jerome Forward particularly also

1395
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: in the second half of the year doing you know,

1396
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: a pretty decent job. The touchdown was was obviously the

1397
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: highlight for for punt returns, and and then Jerome also

1398
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 1: broke off a couple of few bis big returns as

1399
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: well and really seem to find his stride And wouldn't

1400
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: be surprising if, if, if you know, Jerome is also

1401
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 1: able to still get kick returns last next year, I

1402
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: should say, um, but you want to see jakeame back

1403
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: there if he's if he's able to be what he

1404
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: was before the injury. He's he's so explosive. It was

1405
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: one of the top returns in the game, and it

1406
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: would be a huge boost if he's able to come

1407
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 1: back and be what he was before. You know, you're

1408
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: exactly right about that. And I think our return game

1409
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: was much better than anybody would have expected once we

1410
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 1: lost JackAM Grant. Certainly the best that's been uh in

1411
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: many years here for the Cleveland rounds. All right, yeah, absolutely,

1412
01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: let's go back to the story of the day. Let's

1413
01:09:58,400 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 1: talk about the half a little bit. And I know

1414
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: you're excited to do that. You've got a chance to

1415
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: talk with them and interview them for all of these

1416
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: pieces that have gone out. You know, for you, what's

1417
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: kind of your memory of the hop do you have

1418
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 1: much of a memory of them as a player or

1419
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: is it more post Yeah, so it's actually interesting. Um,

1420
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, as you guys know, I grew up in Baltimore.

1421
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: I did attend Ravens games. Um, I was at grew.

1422
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 1: I was at the Ravens game where the Ravens Browns

1423
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: game where Joe Thomas uh got to ten thousand consecutive snaps.

1424
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,879
Speaker 1: And I can't remember before the game, this was obviously

1425
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 1: I think sen or yeah seen and several years ago.

1426
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't remember if I knew that before, but I

1427
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: just remember being there and and looking up at the

1428
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: scoreboard and because they flashed uthing on the scoreboard for him,

1429
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 1: and and I was just like ten tho, Like that's

1430
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 1: I think that was when I first realized me, you know,

1431
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: like just how how crazy that is? And I was

1432
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: like the next closest. Yeah. And there was no like

1433
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't like they stopped the game or anything, right,

1434
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: it was just and it wasn't like the stadium. There

1435
01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 1: wasn't even I don't even know if there was a

1436
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 1: roundable plause or anything, but it was just like I

1437
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: remember seeing on the scoreboard and just going like that,

1438
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: like I just watched like football history here and you know,

1439
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 1: and like I was able to appreciate in that moment,

1440
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: uh what what that men and what that was like.

1441
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:12,679
Speaker 1: And then of course just watching the Browns for all,

1442
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, all the years and whenever they were playing

1443
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens or whenever they were on absolutely and and

1444
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: but you know, Joe was always that guy, that guy

1445
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: there who um was there taking every snap, was there,

1446
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: as you just said, you know, frustrating Terrell Suggs and um.

1447
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 1: And then I remember, you know, just Joel telling a

1448
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 1: story of how Joe Batonio and I talked with him,

1449
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 1: telling a story of how, um, you know, Joe. Joe

1450
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: told Joel that one of the you know, Ravens players,

1451
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 1: penomic Fee, always had u like one of his his

1452
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:44,799
Speaker 1: move or his third down move or whatever, was always

1453
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 1: going to like his left side. And and just hearing

1454
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: that and going like, yeah, you know, I can't remember

1455
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 1: penomic Fee ever playing a very good game against the

1456
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: Browns and that was probably why, you know, um, so

1457
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:56,720
Speaker 1: that that that's where the basis of my my Joe

1458
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: Thomas memories lie. But then of course just just meeting

1459
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:00,600
Speaker 1: him for the first time here, I was, you know,

1460
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: when he was here last training camp, and as I

1461
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: was just telling you, you know, he's such a such

1462
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 1: a well spoken guy, it's so easy to to just

1463
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 1: feel like he is, uh, he's a friend of you

1464
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 1: and and and just just an incredible human being, so

1465
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: easy to have a conversation with. And as you're just

1466
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 1: talking about with Jimmy, it's gonna be really fun when

1467
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: we get closer to Canton and he's in town and uh,

1468
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure he's gonna want to look to

1469
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: celebrate with the fans, and and there's gonna be so

1470
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,600
Speaker 1: many people during those few days that are going to

1471
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 1: be able to see that Joe Thomas that so many

1472
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 1: people here saw, which isn't just the one that you

1473
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: always saw in the field. It was it was the

1474
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 1: human being side of Joe Thomas, which is uh, I mean,

1475
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 1: he's just an incredible, easy, easy to speak with, easy

1476
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: to to to like person. You know, were these some

1477
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 1: of the easiest stories for you to that you've had

1478
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,640
Speaker 1: to write, just because it's like everybody's rowe in the

1479
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: same direction. Absolutely, and and it just I mean it

1480
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: also really it helps that Joe is just so well spoken,

1481
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: He's such an easy quote. You can ask him, I mean,

1482
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,560
Speaker 1: you can't ask him a bad question like he's he

1483
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: makes it makes every question. Yeah, Like like the he

1484
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: last night, I think for his his Hall of Fame

1485
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: press conference he he took. I think it was like

1486
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: there was one question that got to him, but he

1487
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: gave it this like two and a half minute response

1488
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: that was just perfectly well said. I mean, that's what

1489
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: makes it easier, easier to write, is when you can

1490
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: get somebody like that, he's he's talking, but but it's

1491
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 1: just you can go on and on about um, how

1492
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: special he was of the streak and and and the

1493
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, and you know the fact that he just

1494
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: put his head down and worked every single day, no

1495
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: matter who was quarterback, no matter what other things were

1496
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: happening with the team. Most of them obviously weren't weren't

1497
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,600
Speaker 1: great things, but um, but he just kept working at it.

1498
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 1: And and those are the kind of stories, Well it's

1499
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Joe and other people. There's really only there's one Joe Thomas.

1500
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 1: There's like that and then and that's what made him

1501
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:44,680
Speaker 1: an iron man. And to your point, yes, it does

1502
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,600
Speaker 1: make for a very easy story to write. It's not

1503
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: it's ten thousand, three hundred and sixty three consecutive stamps.

1504
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 1: We saw Bob Wiley, our former offensive line coach, say

1505
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,799
Speaker 1: that unless like Superman comes back from Krypton or wherever

1506
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 1: he is, but it was a little bit of other languages. Yes,

1507
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: we're cleaning it up for the radio here that you know,

1508
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: nobody's ever going to do that again. And it's just

1509
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:11,600
Speaker 1: I even think with as the game has evolved, I

1510
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: think it would be hard to do. He's played with

1511
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: some serious injuries like and played through them and nobody

1512
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: ever knew. Yeah, and I don't know that you could

1513
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: do that today, right, And that's the thing that I

1514
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 1: think to your point there like that, I'm I'm really

1515
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,560
Speaker 1: looking forward, like we have eight months here to continue

1516
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 1: digging into some of the untold stories of Joe Thomas, right,

1517
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 1: and playing through the injuries is going to be I

1518
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,640
Speaker 1: think one of those stories. I I mean as the

1519
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,679
Speaker 1: research that I've done and everything over the last several

1520
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: months and really since I've gotten here about Joe is

1521
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 1: is there's not a whole lot told about like the

1522
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 1: grind of of playing through the injuries, on what it's

1523
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: like to um endure some of the some of the

1524
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 1: paint he did to keep that streak alive, and that

1525
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: really it wasn't even about the streak in the middle

1526
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 1: of it, right, it was just about being there for

1527
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: the team. So um, and there's so many I'm sure

1528
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: over the next few months, there's gonna be so many

1529
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 1: other stories about Joe Thomas that we learned about that

1530
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: we just don't know yet. I mean, like we know

1531
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: about the fishing story. We know about uh, you know,

1532
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 1: the time when he almost got taken out of the

1533
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 1: game because they were winning. Like those are the story

1534
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas story that you never forget. But I think

1535
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 1: we're going to see even more of those. Um, I

1536
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:16,840
Speaker 1: would love to you know, I'm trying to find him

1537
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 1: right now, but we're gonna see even more of those

1538
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: over the next eight months because and it tells that

1539
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,679
Speaker 1: that Joe's has a great memory, is great at uh

1540
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's a great storyteller. And I think I

1541
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a real treat over these next

1542
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: few months to find out even more, um, what what

1543
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 1: his career was like and some of the some of

1544
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: the fun stories he has. Yeah, I think you're right.

1545
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 1: I think we will hear more and more things of

1546
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 1: kind of the amazing, the amazing Joe Thomas. I mean

1547
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 1: that's what he is. Absolutely amazing player, amazing guy, and

1548
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 1: he has a streak that is likely to stand the

1549
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 1: test of time. And and because of Joe, he's he's

1550
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna give a great gift to all of his uh

1551
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 1: fellow or current Browns who look up to him, like

1552
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:58,600
Speaker 1: Jelbtonio that he played with of an extra week of

1553
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:04,680
Speaker 1: training camp, which any extra season game. Yes, yeah, that's uh,

1554
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 1: that's something that's been on our radar now for ever since.

1555
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: Really we knew that this was gonna be his his

1556
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: his entrinement here. So yeah, four preseason games most likely,

1557
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 1: and uh, an extra week of training camp and um,

1558
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: well we'll get the fun starts sooner. But it's gonna

1559
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 1: start obviously with a with a with a massive celebration,

1560
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: and um, you know it's gonna be a ton of fun.

1561
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,720
Speaker 1: And can I like, I just keep thinking after you

1562
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: were talking with Jimmy, I really hope that there's a

1563
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: moment where multiple moments where it's it's it's just Joe

1564
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: and and and the entire Brown's family that includes really

1565
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 1: the family in the fans and um, you know, just

1566
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: all the the the stories that can come out of that,

1567
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: and that's just something that not every franchise gets gets

1568
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 1: to experience with with any other players and not and

1569
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: not every fan base gets to experience with with with

1570
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: their players. And I think, I think that's that's gonna

1571
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: be just an unforgettable, insane something that's never had before

1572
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 1: happened in Brown's history. I think, I think you are

1573
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:01,760
Speaker 1: so right, and I think it's has a chance to

1574
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: be so cool. Like, I just think it has a

1575
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: chance to be so cool because he is ultimately a

1576
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 1: man of the people. Yeah, like he wants to be

1577
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 1: with Browns fans, And I think this has a chance

1578
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: to be just an incredibly awesome, fun Brown's celebration. And unfortunately,

1579
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 1: since they've come back, we haven't had much celebury. This

1580
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: is you know, Jim downds anything. This is the biggest

1581
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: moment since the Browns have come back. Absolutely, I mean

1582
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 1: there's the there's the playoff moment. This I think even

1583
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: that right exactly, this like the fans were couldn't get

1584
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 1: off together for that this. Nobody was there, absolutely, it

1585
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:38,640
Speaker 1: was one of two thousand people there. Yeah, everybody. Everybody's

1586
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 1: going to be here for this, and it's raped down

1587
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 1: the road and can it's it's it couldn't be a

1588
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,600
Speaker 1: better way to to all get together as families and

1589
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 1: celebrate uh an all time pro football legend. Yes, all right,

1590
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 1: before I let you get out of here, Boisel, I

1591
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 1: need to know your give me your Super Bowl prediction.

1592
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: What do you think I really like the Eagles because

1593
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: I just think I think you go from position to

1594
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 1: position and you're just like, you know, you like to

1595
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: say that, oh, every team has holes. I really don't

1596
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: know if the Eagles have any holes on their roster. Uh.

1597
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 1: And you look at what the Chiefs have now, you know,

1598
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean Pat Holmes is obviously going to put up

1599
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,799
Speaker 1: a massive battle, but he's dealing with an injury. You got, Um,

1600
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 1: it's it's a wide receiver room that hasn't had Tyreek Klle.

1601
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 1: Now granted they've still been really good. Um, but you

1602
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 1: look at the Eagles in the way that Darius Slay

1603
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 1: has been playing and their whole defense, and it's like,

1604
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: I just I really think, I really think the Eagles

1605
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 1: are gonna be able to to to to win this game.

1606
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 1: And and and that's because they have so many, so

1607
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 1: many talented players that really every single position. So I

1608
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: have yet to have anybody on this show picked the Chiefs,

1609
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 1: which is I mean, I don't know the same way

1610
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: in the a f C Championship. I was the only

1611
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 1: one who picked the Chiefs in the FC Championship. I

1612
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 1: feel like the Eagles are a better team. We went

1613
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 1: through the the they ranked like the starters on one

1614
01:18:55,560 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: to you know whatever, So wonder what forty eleven eleven

1615
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: level the Chiefs had one, two and three were Mahomes,

1616
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Chris Jones. And then from numbers number four

1617
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: to seventeen, I think there was like Creed Humphrey and

1618
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 1: Joe Tooney, which we thought was but that was it

1619
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: were the only other two. Everything else was Eagles. Eagles

1620
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: have a better roster. The Eagles have not, and I

1621
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: think the notion they have been tested as nonsense. But no,

1622
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: we haven't seen them have to play from behind in

1623
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 1: a big game or anything like that, and they've also done.

1624
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:32,600
Speaker 1: It's just crazy. Guy that's been to three out of

1625
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: the last five Super Bowls, five straight. NC is like

1626
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 1: there an afterthought in this game. It feels like they

1627
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:41,439
Speaker 1: are but um, you know, I'll go kind of counter

1628
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: to my point here is that the Eagles, they've also

1629
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:48,640
Speaker 1: never faced a tandem like Pat Mahomes Travis Kelsey, you know.

1630
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that I think it gives would

1631
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 1: give the Chiefs the best chances if as if you know,

1632
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is able to find ways to keep Travis Kelsey,

1633
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: keep him getting open. Uh, then it's gonna be those games.

1634
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,599
Speaker 1: If if the Chiefs do find a way to win,

1635
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: it's going to be an awesome game. I think. I

1636
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: mean that to me, I think that means it's a shootout.

1637
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 1: It's Kelsey scoring at least two touchdowns, like Jalen Hurts

1638
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: is battling. Maybe they're playing from behind, and that's what

1639
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: keeps it a good game. Um, I think. I mean,

1640
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: every super obviously has the chance to be a really

1641
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 1: really good game. If the Chiefs are gonna win this one,

1642
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:21,680
Speaker 1: that's that's that's why I think it's gonna be an

1643
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 1: all timer. So I think it's gonna be fun. I

1644
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:25,600
Speaker 1: can't wait for the game. A p. Thanks for the

1645
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: time as always, good stuff. Brother. All right, when we

1646
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 1: come back, are we do we am I solo? Or

1647
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,599
Speaker 1: we have we don't know. It's a mystery. We'll find

1648
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 1: out if what we're doing the score, you want to

1649
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 1: hang out for the scores in case there's no bo you.

1650
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you kind of gave it away there. But

1651
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: what's the segment it'll be be the scores and over unders.

1652
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: But we don't have voter unders tell bow either Bosa

1653
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: Disney World and he should not call it. In fact,

1654
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be if he does call him. Is they

1655
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: go back to Disney World and have fun with your family?

1656
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 1: All right? When we come back, we'll be wrapping it

1657
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 1: up here Cleveland Brown's Daily, the final football Friday of

1658
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 1: the year, the final score prediction of the year, eight

1659
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: months until the next one. I didn't say that out loud.

1660
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: It's awful. Nobody likes that. It's awful. More football, that's

1661
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 1: what we want. I guess the Rock will say the XFL.

1662
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: All right here, I'll get one more question with you,

1663
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 1: since we're a whole time. So I was asked on

1664
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 1: our mail bag, um, who the who should induct behalf

1665
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame? You know, Connor and I

1666
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 1: were just talking about that before I came in here,

1667
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: and it's like, you're looking at you know, it's not

1668
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 1: like it's going to be a coach. Uh. Players wise,

1669
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: he mentioned Alex Mack as you know that's one of

1670
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 1: his his all time best friends and um obviously one

1671
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:34,679
Speaker 1: of the greatest players that he was able to play

1672
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 1: next to. UM, So I would say, if it's gonna

1673
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 1: be a player, it's Alex Mack. But but why not Also,

1674
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: you know, see if if his dad, Eric would be

1675
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: up for it, um, start your your start your career

1676
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 1: with him on a boat fishing right and then and

1677
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 1: then you're able to to end it in I think

1678
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: that would be a really fitting way if if if

1679
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: if he's up for it, if Joe's dad is up

1680
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: for it, and you can come out in like a

1681
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 1: fishing vest and a fishing rod and set it down

1682
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: and then you know, take the speech out and uh

1683
01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: and and then fire away um and introduced Joe. I

1684
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 1: think that would be a really fitting way to to

1685
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 1: to to get Joe into Canton, just because it's not

1686
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 1: like there's any um. I mean, there was just so

1687
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 1: much change over the years when he was here, and uh,

1688
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, then you kind of turned to family and

1689
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: if you if Joe's gonna pick a family member. It

1690
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 1: seems like his dad would be the most fitting. That's

1691
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: that's where he career, and that's where he can can

1692
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: can end it on the on the I went a

1693
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 1: little more crazy. This is his twittering on his Twitter profile.

1694
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: I mean that would be they definitely, uh you know

1695
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: can can lift a similar amount. I'm sure that so,

1696
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:45,519
Speaker 1: um no, And and that's how you know it would

1697
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 1: be a great speech too. You know, the rock wouldn't

1698
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 1: need a piece of paper or anything in front of

1699
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: him when he's reading that out and uh that that

1700
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 1: that would be one heck of a moment. I don't

1701
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,000
Speaker 1: know if have they done anything else together aside from

1702
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 1: when they were on the show then or they say

1703
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 1: touch and he sent the half that picture of him

1704
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 1: looking at him admiringly with a very nice autograph picture

1705
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,600
Speaker 1: and inscription and all that and is basically is a

1706
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,040
Speaker 1: lot of respect for him. So I think you'd be

1707
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, somebody's got a lot of respect for the half.

1708
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 1: It would be greatly. Is there anybody else here? I mean,

1709
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 1: what that was? It? That was the that was my
