Speaker 2: little ones like they go into training too, they go

73
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,720

74
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 5: I'm not sure.

75
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: I mean they were doing that with Shamu when that

76
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: was really really popular. You know they do it with

77
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: the dog in uh In Georgia, right, they do it

78
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: with with the hound in uh In, Tennessee.

79
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, but this is Santa Claus

80
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: next level, next level stuff here. He didn't need all

81
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: the the underlings. He's got his elves. They get to work,

82
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: He gets up there and he starts delivering the goods here.

83
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: So how does he continue to find that type of workforce?

84
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: And and in this day and age that we live

85
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: in where everybody's so touched sensitive and stuff like that,

86
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: do you think people complain about their not being like

87
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: equal opportunities and and different people there to work? Like?

88
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,280

Speaker 2: turned into like a racial discussion or you know, a

92
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: certain certain community.

00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 7: This to say, everybody's you know, announcing what they're doing.

161
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 7: I'm announcing that I'm going into portal, I'm announcing that

162
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 7: I'm resigning. How about you announced that you're getting better

163
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 7: and you're going to practice and like actually do what

164
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 7: the twenty and thirty years of college football players did

165
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 7: before you, which was practice in December when they're on

166
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 7: good teams and get better.

167
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: So, Kirby Smart, I'm not happy with.

168
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: The pipe dream the press kids. That's on the rules

169
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: rules makers. Yeah, they announced, and that's that's the trend.

170
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: I announced when you. Kirby Smart wants me to come

171
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 2: play for him, and I will announce when I'm leaving.

172
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart like you, I ain't never heard you complain

173
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: about the announcements of committing to the school. So to me,

174
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: he's right, He's right. Jones, No, I agree. You know,

175
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: he's right about the idea of it, the concept of it,

176
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: the belief of it, the value of it. But you

177
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: also have to live in the reality of what exists

178
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: right now, and that's the culture you're in. And either

179
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: you evolve or you die. And they say that's why

180
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: the dinosaurs disappear, you know, they say that's why certain

181
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: species disappear, They go extinct because they didn't find a

182
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: way to evolve and continue to thrive. It's much like

183
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: the coaching profession, and that is a very real thing

184
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: at this point in college football is being able to

185
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: adjust and adapt and evolve to the ever changing landscape

186
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: of what it is. The transfer portal is a major

187
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: part of it. Nil Paying these athletes it is a

188
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: major part of it. And listen, you saw Sabans frustrated

189
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: enough to walk away altogether. He still had a lot

190
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: of great years left at him. He chose to walk away.

191
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: That's fine. Sometimes being the best you is looking at

192
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: what the worst you could possibly be and taking your chips,

193
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: pulling them away from the table and going and cashing

194
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: them men before you give them all back. So I'd

195
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: say this, I'd issue a word of caution to Kirby

196
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: Smart because you could be hot today and you could

197
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: be cold tomorrow. You know that type of talk that

198
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: could be a turnoff to not only kids, but a

199
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: lot of times what people don't realize is how big

200
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: an influence the family is to these kids. Whether it's

201
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: the mom. More often than not, it's the mom, a

202
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: lot of times it's the dad, but sometimes it's another

203
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: could be a grandparent, could be an uncle, could be

204
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: an aunt, could be a cousin. You don't know. The

205
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: list run runs on and on and on, and you

206
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: have to be aware of what's the worth and the

207
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: value of what you're doing with these kids, what you're

208
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: saying about them. You got to pay attention to every

209
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: little thing because these other schools will prey on it.

210
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: And these parents and these family members that are representing

211
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: these kids are paying attention to it. Every little thing counts,

212
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: every the little thing matters. And while some parents may

213
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: like that Jonas, there may be other parents that's sitting

214
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: there like, yeah, you're damn right, we're leaving you, damn right.

215
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: We're announcing it, like mind your business. Coach my coach

216
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: my kid, and that's what you need to do. And listen.

217
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: I'll say this, I don't. I don't. I don't think

218
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: that's healthy for for the kids development. But I'd also

219
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: say I'd be naive to think that that's not what's

220
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: really going on out here. It's a money game. It's

221
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: a numbers game. They've convinced these kids that it's got

222
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: to be about the money and the family. They're going

223
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: after the money too, like people are going after the

224
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: cash rewards. So the transfer portal is bigger because it

225
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: represents leverage, it represents power to the people that are

226
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: helping these kids make their decisions. There's kids that are

227
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: leaving the go into transfer portal because they're upset about

228
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 2: not playing. But then there's the other ones that are

229
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: using it as a leverage tool to get the school

230
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: that they're at to come up and pony up more money,

231
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: or to go get more money somewhere else.

232
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: I agree with Kirby Smart. I think you probably agree

233
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: with Kirby Smart. The problem is two pass out of

234
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: the tube, Like, I don't see any possible way it

235
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: goes back to where things were as as he mentioned,

236
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, twenty thirty years prior to where players are

237
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: just focused on getting better in December. Because nowadays you

238
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: actually can make a living playing college football, which is

239
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: wild to say, like it's wild and you can do it,

240
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: and it's allowed, and in fact it's celebrated. Like you've

241
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: got guys on social media announcing contract extensions, like they

242
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: committed to a school and a year later they're signing

243
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: extensions and it shows them like as if they're in

244
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: the NFL signing a contra tracked at a desk and

245
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: there's a picture like it. The game has completely changed.

246
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: And so when you hear his frustration and you mentioned

247
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. Look, Dabo Swinny's been bitching about this stuff

248
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: for how long.

249
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: Now we got in a couple of days.

250
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 5: I mean Jeff Hafley, who left Boston College as their

251
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 5: head coach, stepped down to go be a defensive coordinator

252
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 5: with the Packers.

253
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, that's gonna work out because he's

254
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: done a phenomenal job with Green Bay. He's going to

255
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: be a head coach in the NFL. But he recognized, Yeah,

256
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: where this is headed. I don't know that I want

257
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: to operate under these conditions, so I've got to go elsewhere.

258
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: I just think it's at the point now to where

259
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, and you've seen coaches do this before,

260
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: you've got to adapt or die. Like for years, you

261
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: remember when coach k Mike Krzhevski, you nw it was

262
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: a duke. The one thing Duke was always celebrated for

263
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: was guys stay all four years and guystal Is stay

264
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: there all four years and then all of a sudden,

265
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: Corey mcgetty, I think Elton Brand like some of these

266
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: guys started bailing after a year. And I think Mike

267
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: Skrzyzewski recognized, Man, those days, guy control it he can't,

268
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: and so he had to a daft or die and

269
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: he had to figure it out. It's why he's arguably

270
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: the best, one of the best coaches in the history

271
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: of sports, because he was able to win national titles

272
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: not just in one era, but in two or three eras.

273
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 5: And I just look at it and I go, this

274
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 5: is the way.

275
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: They went on this one though? Could he win in

276
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: this area? I mean, all things given, I think it's

277
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: just luck of the draw man, big bank, little bank.

278
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: That's how I look at it. That's how I see it.

279
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: Big bank, little bank, who's ever gone open up their

280
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: their pockets, and that community supports it and they fund

281
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: these athletes because there's going to come times where you're

282
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: offered something and it's very comparable to other places. And

283
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: now it just comes down to decision making, right and

284
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: it may not always go the way people thought it

285
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: would have gone. You might choose a different school over

286
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: Ohio State, you know, for one reason or another. You know,

287
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: it could be the weather. You know, I'm going through

288
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: it with my kids right now. They get homesick, you know,

289
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: So you could have a kid that ends up getting

290
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: the same type of money that he would have got

291
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: to go somewhere else, and they end up going to

292
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: a school that isn't one of the traditional powers just

293
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: because it's close to home, you know. So there's a

294
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: lot of different factors that could play into why a

295
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: kid chooses something over the other. Or I got here,

296
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: I didn't want to be here anymore, whatever it may

297
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: have been. And this is where I find the biggest

298
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: issue in it, Jonas, is is that I feel as though,

299
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: for one, it creates a false sense of achievement, a

300
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: false sense of accomplishment because it's year to year. It's

301
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: year to year. You could f it up, it could

302
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: be done in a year and for but it was

303
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: worth You went from making no money to making seventy

304
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: five grand, and you thought you were about to be

305
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: a millionaire. And they don't even want you anymore. New

306
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: coach comes in, they looked at your film, they're not

307
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: impressed with it. They're telling you go ahead, seek other opportunities.

308
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: So it's creating, it's doing away with the idea of

309
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: what you mentioned with Shazyshewski is the idea of development, right,

310
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: the idea of understanding how to fit into a work environment,

311
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: to beyond schedule, beyond time to manage and balance. That's

312
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: the growth of a person, and in this particular category,

313
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: the building of a boy into a man, like I

314
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: became a man when I went to college. Sure I

315
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: got up on time when I was in high school,

316
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: Sure I got up early. I did extra things there.

317
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: But the idea of it, you're away from your family,

318
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: you have responsibilities. There's consequences and repercussions to you not

319
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: keeping up with the responsibilities that you have, and you

320
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: have to do it on your own.

321
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 5: And you kept your word and you kept your commitment.

322
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I was ready to transfer. Man. I

323
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 2: always tell the story to a couple of people. After

324
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: my freshman year, I didn't play, and I thought I

325
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: would come in and play. I was like, all right,

326
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it the spring. You know, I went

327
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: through the spring and wasn't starting. We finished up spring.

328
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 2: I gave it everything I had. And the dude that

329
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 2: was in front of me was just as good as

330
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: all American as I was. And he was a red shirt.

331
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 2: So you're a rich shirt sophomore. I'm a true sophomore

332
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: going I'm going We're going into our sophomore years, and

333
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: you're beating me. Out I almost transferred Zonus. But that

334
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: goes back to the conversation, right, It's kind of like

335
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 2: I was the number one rated player in the country

336
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 2: coming out of high school. I was the national Player

337
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 2: of the Year for Parade. And you know, who knows

338
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: what I would have been able to command money wise

339
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: coming out of high school or what my brand would

340
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: have looked like I played football in Pittsburgh.

341
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 5: I mean, so, how what do you think?

342
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: What do you think the check for you and or

343
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn would have been had you guys played nowadays?

344
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't, I do not know, but I

345
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: will say when you think about just kind of I

346
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: think about the way I was treated in how I

347
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: was handled by the coaching staff, and you just can't.

348
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 2: You can't handle athletes like that anymore like some of them.

349
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 2: You can't like my kid, you can discipline him like

350
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: my kid was disciplined for something he really like. The

351
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: dude was supposed to check in, now this is a

352
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: life lesson. Dude was supposed to check in for breakfast

353
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: at seven am. He's on the toilet at six fifty

354
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: eight and doesn't come out until seven oh one and

355
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 2: had to do a power hour had had to be

356
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: he was disciplined for it. Like to me, that's there's

357
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 2: no reason to discipline a kid if he's there, you

358
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: know he's there, Like if he told you I was

359
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: in the restroom and he's one minute late, like he

360
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: was there, But it doesn't matter, right you were, you

361
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 2: hold it, tell them I'm here, I'm going to the restroom.

362
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: Go to the restroom. That's the lesson, right to these

363
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: kids out here these days, they'd be like you never

364
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: believe what they did to me today.

365
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 5: I'm attacked.

366
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: I had to go do this power hour because I

367
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: was I had to go tax that toilet, you know

368
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like this crazy, I'm out of here.

369
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: And then you know what the parents be like, yeah,

370
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 2: we out of here, son, Like where are we going?

371
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: Like let's let's get on the phone with the like

372
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: we're gonna figure it out. We out of here, We're

373
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: gonna hit the portal. Like cats don't be feeling like

374
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: working out, Jonas, Like I think I'll sit out working

375
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: out today, Like what, Yeah, I'm tired, Like don't feel

376
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: like doing it today. And you're looking at some of

377
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: these cats and it's just it's a different day. And

378
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: age man and either you can develop or already have

379
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: the patience to be able to handle it in a

380
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: way where you can be successful and not stress yourself

381
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: out to the point of where you're stressing your coaching

382
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: staff out, to where your coaching staff and you are

383
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: stressing your kids out. And then all this stress that's

384
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: going around people didn't pay attention. People aren't paying attention

385
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: to the behind the scenes amounts of stress that are

386
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: going on at these programs. I mean, I look at

387
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 2: what happened to Penn State this year. If you ask me,

388
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 2: the nil play a major part in the stress level

389
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: of Penn State and the happiness factor and the belief

390
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: factor in one another, or you know, teammates not being leaders,

391
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: like how can you be a leader if this dude

392
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 2: is making more money than you? And that happens. It

393
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: happens in the league, it happens now in college. There's

394
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: something to be said, and it might be not looked

395
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: at and view that right now, but it's something to

396
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: be said about the idea that the money changes not

397
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 2: only the dynamic of how you recruit and how you

398
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: retain the kids, but it also changes the whole entire

399
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: dynamic of the team and the environment that you're in

400
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: from the locker room, Like you go out to the

401
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: parking lot, this guy's driving a six hundred series, a

402
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: sixth series bends. This guy's over here with an X five.

403
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 2: This guy's probably a better player. He ain't even getting

404
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: nowhere near the money these guys are getting like it,

405
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: like I'm jealous, I wish I could have that type

406
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 2: of car. Da da da. Then you're, you know, the

407
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 2: coaching staff, like how do you handle these players? Like

408
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: there's like the whole idea of you can only say

409
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 2: so much to them these days. It totally has changed

410
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: the camaraderie factor in the locker room. Like that parking

411
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: lot comes into the locker room, dudes might be ready

412
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: to fight a little quicker than what they would over

413
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: just caught playing the dozens or anything like that. The

414
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: stakes have been taken so high because money always changes things.

415
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: You know what I was thinking when you were talking

416
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: about that, Because I do wonder if we're at the

417
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: point now where you have to factor that in when

418
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: evaluating how teams are actually going to be Because this happened, absolutely,

419
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: this happens in the end of look perfect example. Remember

420
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, the Eagles signed all those players nomdi awesome one.

421
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: All those guys, what were they five hundred that year?

422
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: Five hundred team that year. So, and I say that

423
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: to say this. If you go back to the preseason

424
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: top twenty five, here was your top four. Texas, Penn State,

425
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: Ohio State, and Clemson. Three of the four were nowhere

426
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: to be found in the national title picture. You mentioned

427
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: Penn State, there was Texas. Clemson was a disaster. There

428
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: was Dabo Swinney. Could he be fired? Could he be

429
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: on his way out? Conversations? Ohio State kept there undo

430
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: the bargain. But I wonder if they're something to what

431
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 1: you're saying to where yeah, you can look at and

432
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: say how many five stars, how many four stars, how

433
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: many Blue Chippers you've got, But now you have to factor.

434
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: In you got to deal with those personality.

435
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 5: Percent and those personalities with money.

436
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Well, that's what I'm saying. It's

437
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: not because in college you could deal with the personality

438
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: like they come in it's like, oh, you're in college now,

439
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: you're in college now, Like you come in now, like yeah,

440
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: I'm in college now, and I'm collecting high mid six figures.

441
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm in college now, yeah, I'm commanding seven figures. Well, oh,

442
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: you're amanding seven figures in high school while your offensive.

443
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 5: Linemen who are blocking for you are making a fraction

444
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 5: of that.

445
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 2: If that, well, now everybody gets something, right. So but

446
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: again that there's that, there's that friction, right, there's that.

447
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 2: There's that like I'm looking at them like I am

448
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: the center of this team, or I am the one

449
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: that protects your blind side, Like I don't have that

450
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 2: nice car. I don't like do I have to? Just

451
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 2: everybody is going to be that I don't want the

452
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 2: attention in their spotlight. Some of them are going to

453
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 2: be jealous. Some of them are going to look at

454
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: you like you're this entitled, little spoiled pratt And that's

455
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 2: your teammate. Y'all supposed to be on a love deal

456
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: and y'all not, y'all hating on one another. How does

457
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: that play into the whole Dayton game? You know, you

458
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: dating somebody I might have wanted to date or whatever

459
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: it may be, Like you're more popular. I mean there

460
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: was always more popular guys anyway, But maybe now there's

461
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: a dude that wasn't necessarily popular, but they making more money.

462
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 2: Like maybe dude ugly and he got two three girls

463
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: that you want. You know, you just take your pick

464
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 2: as one of them, man, take one. Like, no, he

465
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: took all of them. He can afford to hang out

466
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: with all of them. You know, you got to deal

467
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 2: with that. It's funny, but it's true. One of the

468
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: biggest beats, hey man, one of the biggest beasts that

469
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: people will never talk about are women in college. The

470
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: competition on campus for women in college. It's very real.

471
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 2: It's very real. It's very real, man, And that could

472
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: create conflict. And you got dudes that might have the

473
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: money to do it. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I

474
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: ain't gotta keep going. But these are all the issues

475
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: that you can't put you know how they say there's

476
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: stats that you can't. You can't you look at and

477
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: you can't put the stat down and say what the

478
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: relevance of it is. But you know it's there, and

479
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: you know it's important. These are the conversations that people

480
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: should be having about where we're at with the current

481
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 2: position of where college football, the state of college football is.

482
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart is only looking at it merely from a

483
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: very very narrow scope in terms of what it represents

484
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 2: to the field. But you got to you gotta widen

485
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: that scope of what the pressures and what has been

486
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: created by this nil era of time along with the

487
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: portal money in portal that's changed everything. So you got

488
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: to open up the lens. You got to look at

489
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: the conversation as a wider conversation. And Jonas, you can't

490
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 2: ignore it, No, you can't. Coaches ignore these topics, right,

491
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: they'll work that out. You only you only you know,

492
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: you only mess with it when something happens.

493
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 5: Well, like we get it.

494
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,200

496
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: they didn't live up to the expectations, but three of

497
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: the top four this year like nowhere to be found,

498
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,840

00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 2: parents and be like, are they serious? You know, and

621
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: then could create some drama. So we want to do

622
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: that on Christmas E. But you know, it is what

623
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: it is.

624
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: And taking a look at the Nora Ad Santa Tracker,

625
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: he was last spotted at the North Pole.

626
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 5: He is on his journey.

627
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the gifts already delivered, looking at

628
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: twenty seven million thus far. So I mean he's making

629
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: good strides here.

630
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 5: I'm lok Santa Tracker right now.

631
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: So let me say no, I'm looking that up with

632
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: AI and they made it more popular. They didn't invent

633
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: they didn't invent it, but they started making it more

634
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: popular in nineteen thirty one using ads and stuff like that,

635
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: popularizing him. It looks so there you go.

636
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, can I ask a question? Sure?

637
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 12: Sure, I know not even part of the show, but

638
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 12: I'm just gonna ask a question. What so you're part

639
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 12: of the family. Thank you, Cooper. Yeah, that's that's so nice.

640
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 12: So you said the according to the tracker, he's at

641
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 12: the North Pole. Yeah, he was last spotted at the

642
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 12: North Pole, but.

643
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 5: He's already delivered twenty seven million gifts. Well he's still

644
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 5: like I'm looking at who. Well, there's kids all over

645
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 5: the place, I mean maybe you have to go back

646
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 5: to like refuel Coop.

647
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: Do you do you think that he can fit all

648
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: those gifts in one trip. He's got to go back

649
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: and get the second. Okay, he's gonna be uh, he's

650
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna be rifling through.

651
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 2: So he's got to keep going back. He's got to

652
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 2: keep going back.

653
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 5: Depends.

654
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: Like some of the airline, I think he does the

655
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: the heavier gifts first on the trip.

656
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 5: He doesn't know.

657
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 2: I personally think Santa is a freak, you know, so

658
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 2: just keep that one in your hat, you know what

659
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: I mean, don't don't You gotta be careful with Santa man,

660
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: Like Shorty's been leaving him milk and making him cookies

661
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: for a really, really really long time, and he ain't

662
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 2: eating autumn cookies. He ain't drinking all that milk. So

663
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: he got a little bit of extra.

664
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: Time since since Coop wants to play Grinch here and

665
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: uh and spin all over the freak that is Santa

666
00:34:55,160 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: Claus who's simply trying to do his gym super freak, Cooper,

667
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: I do have the uh, I bother it was Jim

668
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: Carrey on set. I do have the the quick last update.

669
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: He is headed for Yell and Russia in under a minute.

670
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 1: So huh, why don't you put that in your negative

671
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 1: pipe and smoke at coop.

672
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm sure there's twenty seven million people and you

673
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 12: well in Russia.

674
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 5: Up to forty million gifts delivered thus far, he said.

675
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 4: Online it says he'll be to us in about twenty

676
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: two and a half hours, So that's pretty exciting.

677
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been so again. We're gonna have updates on

678
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: this throughout the.

679
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 2: Course of the show. I didn't realize he went everywhere

680
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 2: in the world, you know what I mean? Okay, hell yeah,

681
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 2: that's interesting.

682
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: But by the way, he sees the Bermuda Triangle and

683
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: he grabs his crotch and says, screw you, buddy, I'm

684
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: flying right through you, and you ain't doing a damn

685
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: thing about it.

686
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 2: I guess I would say, doesn't doesn't If that were

687
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: the case, wouldn't Santa have to guard his grill and

688
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: knuckle up to go deliver? If his gifts some in

689
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: some places in the world, In me, they might look

690
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 2: at him and be like, hey, man, we don't you know,

691
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: we ain't really into you. I'm just saying he might

692
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: have found himself in the wrong living room, trying to

693
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: deliver some gifts. Like wait, you do know I'm Santa, right,

694
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: disrespect me like that? Is it?

695
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 6: That?

696
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: As that white tax we were talking about, he gets

697
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: Jaffrey treatment.

698
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 2: Listen, man, listen, gotta listen. Listen man, I'm just saying.

699
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Santa drops down at chimney. You got

700
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: a problem here, Yeah, we got a problem.

701
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: Brouh you got you got, you got the wrong chimney.

702
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: Well you will have you have no problems if you

703
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: get to the home depot because Makita tools at the

704
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: home depot are built with precision, without shortcuts, designed for

705
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: the toughest jobs. It's a choice for pros when the

706
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: job calls for the best, calling, Mikita built to be

707
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: the best available at the home depot. How pros get

708
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: more done?

709
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 2: All right?

710
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: So the Pro Bowl rosters were announced yesterday in the

711
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: NFL for the Pro Bowl Games, which is just so

712
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: much fun. And you know, Vic Fangio's got some thought odds.

713
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: He was asked whether or not Jordan Davis should have

714
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl for the Philadelphia Eagles, and he

715
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: had this to say about the entire process.

716
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 13: He should have for sure. I think they needed to

717
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 13: form a committee for the Pro Bowl. Get a couple

718
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 13: retired coaches, a couple of retired personnel guys, a couple

719
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 13: of retired players that are will take pride in it,

720
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 13: and they name it not all everybody and their mother's

721
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 13: gotten a vote.

722
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 5: So Vic Fangil, very upbeat and positive during the holiday season, has.

723
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 2: Been the same for years. Sorry, Fangio.

724
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 5: It does, yeah, yeah, it does.

725
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: It does feel like the Pro Bowl is one of

726
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: the great whiffs of the Roger Goodell era. It seems

727
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: like it has gotten less and less interesting and relevant

728
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: and prestigious every single year.

729
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I mean, I don't know what

730
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 2: the relevance is anymore other than just making it an award.

731
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 2: It's not so it's like, okay, all Pro is like

732
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 2: and it's it's weird because I guess All Pro well,

733
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 2: it's so few. There's few of them. So you'll see

734
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: a guy like Tom Brady, he doesn't have a crazy

735
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: amount of All Pro You'd be like, how does he

736
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 2: not have more All pros? Or you look at Peyton Manning,

737
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: you'd be like, how does he not have more First

738
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 2: team All Pros? But I think it's more difficult to

739
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: become a first team All Pro than it is to

740
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 2: become a pro bowler. But a pro bowler still in

741
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 2: representation to your season, basically says you're you're an All Star.

742
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the equivalent of All Pro.

743
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if it carries the same weight as

744
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: being an All Pro. But being a pro bowler is

745
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: very It's prestigious. It's a prestige. It has always been

746
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: known as a prestigious distinction to have because it represents

747
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: you being one of the elite. You got bonuses connected

748
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: to being a pro bowler. You have, you know, contractual leverage,

749
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 2: you know, you have negotiating power if you're a pro bowler.

750
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 2: So there's things that come with the distinction. And so

751
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 2: to me, the game was always the game, and I

752
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: thought the game was for us as players. It was

753
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: an opportunity to make more money, but it was an

754
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: opportunity to get over the water and be with the

755
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: other elite players. Yeah, and to me, that was the

756
00:39:53,920 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 2: prestige of it as far as the product for the

757
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 2: the fans. People can plained about the Pro Bowl Game

758
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: when I was playing, you know, they complained about it, like, oh,

759
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 2: they don't play da da da, And they're right. You know,

760
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 2: guys generally started playing hard if it was a competitive

761
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 2: game in the second half, or you come out in

762
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: the second half, be like, all right, it's the second

763
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 2: half if you're the I can recall being on teams

764
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: that were winning. I was. I think I was on

765
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 2: one team where we were we were down by a ton,

766
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: I mean a ton, and we came back in one

767
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: and it's that second half. It's the second half. Like

768
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 2: that used to be really really competitive because you know,

769
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: guys would be on the sideline they start telling you'd

770
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 2: be like, hey, man, you know we get another fifteen

771
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 2: twenty g's if we wouldn't this game.

772
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 14: Man.

773
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: Cas started looking at each other like yeah, you're right, man.

774
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: That bill got to bill pretty.

775
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 5: High after that hotel for that waiteky Key trip.

776
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 2: You know. But but here's the thing, like guys with

777
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: like the Steelers, which I love this tradition about them

778
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 2: the Steelers, if one of them made the Pro Bowl,

779
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 2: their whole crew came so at least for the linebackers.

780
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: So Joey Porter was making the Pro Bowl, which that's

781
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 2: how I ended up hanging out smoking with the loonies

782
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: by the way, which is cool. Like I got the

783
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 2: chief with the I got five on it. People, but

784
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: they was all there, you know, rest of the piece

785
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 2: to Clark Hagan's, Like Clark was there one year. I think.

786
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: I believe Jason Gilden made the Pro Bowl and Joey

787
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: made the Pro I believe. But the whole linebacking corps

788
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 2: was there. So they was just there chilling and that

789
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 2: was That was pretty cool that that was there. Like

790
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 2: every like, guys had different traditions. I told you about

791
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: the rookie tradition at the bar. I remember my first

792
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: year getting there and I was so excited because I,

793
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 2: you know, obviously is my first Pro Bowl, and you

794
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: hear so much about the experience of it. So when

795
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: I got there and I got to my room and

796
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: I got my stuff down, and I can hear all

797
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: the noise in the banter, I look outside my window

798
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 2: and you know, there's a ton of people at the pool.

799
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: So why I do. I go running my ass down

800
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 2: to the pool, not knowing, not knowing what I was

801
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 2: getting myself into. But I go down to the pool.

802
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: I walk up Donovan McNab and standing at six foot three,

803
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty five pounds. He plays for the

804
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 2: Washington are Skitting formerly known as the Richskins. Du da dah.

805
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 2: Super super impactful player. He hits like a mac truck,

806
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 2: but he loved you and he's soft in your heart.

807
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: Everybody give it up for a little bar everything, and

808
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 2: everybody's stopping, start flibbing. Yeah right, So that so that

838
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: I'm like I don't understand like ten G's. I thought

839
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 2: this was a paid for deal. Da da dad this

840
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: and that. And I was like, did my family do this?

841
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: You know? I brought my mom, my dad, my kid

842
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 2: that da da dad, Like my family do this? Like

843
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 2: I'm hitting my parents up there, like nah, we pay

844
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: for everything. I was like, huh. So I'm looking over

845
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 2: I go to the front desk cause I'm like mystified,

846
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: like and somewhat irate. I was like, well, why is

847
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 2: my bill so high? Like this is a really really

848
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: high I could like this is a car pay like

849
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 2: I could buy a car with it, Like I just

850
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 2: don't understand. I started popping off and they're like, mister Arrington,

851
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 2: see what happens is is that did you give you

852
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 2: a room number out at any point in time? And

853
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, then it all starts running back

854
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 2: to you like like the usual suspects, right, like he

855
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 2: was telling the story and then you realize he was

856
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: talking about stuff that was in the room and he

857
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: wasn't he wasn't really talking about things in real life.

858
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 5: You dropped the bug of the floor and said McNab

859
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 5: on the bottom.

860
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 2: And they said McNab on the bottom, bro. And so

861
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 2: what happens is they passed your room. They passed your

862
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 2: room number out. And every time they do a room charge,

863
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: they charge it to your room. Oh no, oh yeah,

864
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 2: every rookie that so so I went two more times

865
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 2: and that was it's real. It's real.

866
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 6: Now.

867
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 2: I never did it to anybody, but I knew what

868
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 2: it was. And I would be looking at him like, dang,

869
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: write a passage, bro. I want to tell you. I

870
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 2: want to tell you, but you got to enjoy it

871
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 2: for what it's worth, because it's part of the experience.

872
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 2: Like like you didn't think that there would be ups

873
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 2: and downs at the Pro Bowl, but there were, and

874
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: that down was when you looked at that bill, you know,

875
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: And so I didn't want to take that away from them.

876
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: The next two years that I went, and so yeah,

877
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 2: that was I would watch the I'd be at the bar,

878
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 2: get there, go to the bar, da da da, I

879
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 2: get introduced. First round would be on me. You know.

880
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: Anybody who came down first round was on you. But

881
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 2: my room was safe, so it was cool. The next

882
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 2: two times that I went, you know, I went as

883
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 2: a vet, and it's like, you know, they start to

884
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: expect that you're going to be there, and that's a

885
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 2: part of what you have going on. But dang, I

886
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 2: see the rookie. I'd be like, man, I was like,

887
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 2: you know, inflation hit, it's going to be a little

888
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 2: bit more expensive than it was last year. Like this

889
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 2: dude might get hit for twenty twenty five. Like, man,

890
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 2: good luck with that.

891
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 5: Now you know why people don't go because of injury.

892
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:52,959
Speaker 2: I'm not going.

893
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't pay ten thousand dollars to Donovan McNabb

894
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 1: can have another.

895
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 2: Uh maybe somebody, maybe somebody told situations. If I was

896
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 2: not made aware of it.

897
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 5: Guess because the thing is.

898
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: And by the way, this year, if anybody wondering, is

899
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl back in Hawaii?

900
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 5: No, absolutely not know.

901
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: It'll be at the Convention Center, the Moscow and Center

902
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: in San Francisco.

903
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 5: That's where the Pro Bowl is going to be at.

904
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,760
Speaker 1: It's going to be a seven on seven flag football

905
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: game with a skills competition attached to it. It's going

906
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: to be on the Tuesday of Super Bowl Week. So

907
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,479
Speaker 1: I just I look at it and I go, there's

908
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 1: something that's just lacking and less prestigious about it. And look,

909
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: congratulations to all the all the players that got I mean,

910
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 1: that's still something you can you can say moving forward,

911
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: and you're always going to be known yourself as a

912
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: three time Pro Bowler and that carries weight. That's something

913
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: but I can't well, yeah, I think so I can nowadays.

914
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 2: Was a three time Pro Bowl Honestly.

915
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: Yes, because I I tell you really yeah, because I

916
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: tell people, between you and I, we have three Pro

917
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: Bowl So it's important because.

918
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 5: It does a lot for me.

919
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,959
Speaker 1: And so now I look at the way this whole

920
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: thing has been constructed and the way it's been operated,

921
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: and it just feels like they're just holding on to

922
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 1: it because it's tradition, and it's just lacking, like it's

923
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 1: not even it feels like a blip on the radar,

924
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: and it feels like they're just kind of going through

925
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: the motions when man, it used to be, as you

926
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 1: pointed out, an opportunity to go to Hawaii, take your friends,

927
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: take your family, take you know people there, be celebrated,

928
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: be on the beach, you know, play at a Loja stadium,

929
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: like all of that was fun, and you looked forward

930
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: to it. And Roger Goodell had this thought, and this

931
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: was him saying this himself, that the reason why they

932
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: moved the Pro Bowl to a week earlier before the

933
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: Super Bowl was because he didn't like the idea of

934
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,439
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, an exhibition game, being the last thing

935
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: you saw from that NFL season. And I look at

936
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: it and I go, Okay, I can understand the theory.

937
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: You want the SHNDO to be the Super Bowl, to

938
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: be the biggest game, but there is something too, Hey,

939
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: after that's all done, let's celebrate everybody, like let's celebrate

940
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: every team because one of the cool things growing up

941
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 1: as a fan. It was like, man, there's my favorite team,

942
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: and how do you know that you can see their

943
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 1: helmet on an NFC jersey or an AFC jersey like.

944
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 2: They were, well, we wore our helmet.

945
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was awesome like that.

946
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 2: That was what we wore. We wore the we wore

947
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl uniform, but we wore our helmet.

948
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

949
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 2: So and that like jersey giveaways. We used to give

950
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 2: our helmets away, you know, like we would trade our helmets.

951
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 2: Awesome on your helmet, give your helmet away, you know.

952
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: And now it's just you know, we're gonna go at

953
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: the We're gonna step over sleeping bags to get to

00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: tiddley Winks and which is.

956
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 2: Crazy because people were complaining about having to fly all

957
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 2: the way over to Hawaii. I was, man, I don't

958
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 2: know what y'all got going on after that first while.

959
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're thinking, what's going on in

960
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 2: your mind. I'll take that five and five, you know,

961
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 2: I'll take that five and five.

962
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: My buddy told me this one time, and he was

963
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: one hundred percent spot on. He said, the great thing

964
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: about getting on a flight to Hawaii is that everybody's

965
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: in a good mood because nobody's going there on like

966
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: a work trip per se. Nobody's going like people are

967
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: going there because it's Hawaii and they're going on vacation.

968
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: He's like, you never have to worry about anybody being

969
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: angry or antsy or anything. Like. People going to Hawaii

970
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: are always in a good mood. He's it's the best

971
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: flight you can take.

972
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 2: Because I was a scumbag back then, I won't hesitate

973
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 2: to admit it. And and the island that week was

974
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 2: on fire, that's all right, I mean, and I got

975
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 2: to use that loosely because I know there was a

976
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 2: fire there in real time. But but yeah, that that

977
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 2: you want to talk about a good time. I told

978
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 2: you I had two rooms.

979
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 5: I'll come.

980
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 2: I had one room where we stayed at the Iolani,

981
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 2: and that was where it all the players and the

982
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 2: family stayed and we're all the you know, wholesome time

983
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 2: took place, and then you had your space in wacky

00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl game from Hawaii and just look at

994
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: the first two rows behind the bench.

995
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,920

00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 2: Moon threw a dope, dope, dope party. I've heard his

1003
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 2: parties were epic, epic apic, not like Epstein or anything

1004
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 2: like that, just because you got to be careful with

1005
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 2: with stuff like that these days, you know. And he

1006

Speaker 2: no Diddy, no Diddy. It wasn't nothing like that. It

1008
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 2: was actually in the public. It was like the it

1009
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 2: was like the pre Diddy party, right. It was like

1010
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 2: the party Diddy would throw and then be like, all right,

1011
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 2: now the party's turning into the Diddy party, the Dittler party.

1012
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 2: It was the pre It was the pre party, like

1013
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 2: the one that was on the up and up, where

1014
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 2: you walked on the red carpet, took pictures stuff like that.

1015
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 2: It was like a who's who. That's where I met

1016
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor for the first time. It was like the

1017
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 2: world stood still. I don't. I don't fanboy out very often.

1018
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 2: There was two times that I, like really really fanboyed out,

1019
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 2: and this was one. Michael Jordan was the other one.

1020
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 2: And it blew my mind that I guess it was

1021
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 2: three times cause when when new audition was out of

1022
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,040

1029
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 2: I was walking to go back to the Elani and

1030
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,799

Speaker 2: was like man, I know that that shape, like I know.

1032
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 2: I was like, that kind of looks like that could

1033
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 2: be Lawrence Taylor. And he was getting closer and I

1034
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 2: was like, hey man, and then he got a little closer.

1035
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 2: I was like, bruh. And by the time I got

1036
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,280

00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 2: That was the first time I ever saw him. And

1042
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 2: then METI and like I felt like a little kid. Bro.

1043
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 2: I was like I didn't even know what to say.

00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: He's top five my favorite player all time for me,

1047
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor. Yeah, I don't care who he played for.

1048
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't care that he was unbelievable.

1049
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 5: Lot there.

1050
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 2: That's where I met money Line. That's where I met him.

1051
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 2: That was pretty cool too. I ain't gonna lie, but

1052
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,479
Speaker 2: that's like that's almost like the place where it would

1053
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 2: have been. It made since right, Like that was like

1054
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 2: super big time. Like first time I ever saw him

1055
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 2: was at the Pro Bowl and I was a pro

1056
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 2: bowler seeing the goat. So yeah, that was that was

1057
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 2: a pretty cool That was a pretty cool experience, super

1058
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 2: super cool experience. Man. So I don't know if they

1059
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 2: get the same interaction with one another, I would say

1060
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 2: that's the most important part. But let's let's to me,

1061
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, give them a five day trip. Make

1062
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 2: sure it's a five day trip that you capture the

1063
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 2: content of it and use it for like the I

1064
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 2: don't know, use it for the beginning of the league year,

1065
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 2: or use it in the draft, because ultimately the draft

1066
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 2: represents the beginning and the Pro Bowl represents kind of

1067
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 2: like a rite of passage if you're if you get drafted, right,

1068
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 2: draftees are the guys that are considered to be the

1069
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 2: most elite. So maybe like use the features that you

1070
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 2: have front that you record from the Pro Bowl and

1071
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 2: use it there. But as far as the Pro Bowl itself,

1072
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 2: maybe just do a show, right, do a show where

1073
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 2: you have these top analysts, you know, talking about the

1074
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 2: team and show their highlights, talk about them, you know,

1075
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 2: maybe some features like a personal feature, like make it

1076
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 2: the length of a game and sell it. I think

1077
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 2: it would be better to watch the substance of what

1078
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 2: those guys did. Because some of these guys you don't

1079
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 2: know for what it's worth. Some of them you might

1080
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 2: have not have really watched them. So it might give

1081
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 2: you the opportunity to see who they are. You might

1082
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 2: you know, build a new fan off of it. You

1083
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 2: know that that could be. That could be how it

1084
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 2: works out the best way for them. But this this

1085
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 2: all this like this, this kind of gimmicky type stuff.

1086
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,560

1130
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: that you're very interested in this, but I am watching

1131
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: the Nora Ad Santa tracker and it is showing that

1132
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: he is forty seconds away from landing and dropping off

1133
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: gifts somewhere in Russia. So just so you know, he's

1134
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: on his way, So hopefully everybody's behaving there at the

1135
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: house in Russia.

1136
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 6: Huh Yeah, Well, I will take a you santity to

1137
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 6: get my kids in line. But you can put that

1138
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 6: on the lists of things that don't work.

1139
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's that trick. Will you go to the

1140
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 5: well one too many times and it doesn't have the

1141
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 5: effect that it once did. Hey, by the way, how

1142
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 5: do you feel about eggnog?

1143
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 6: I'm fine with it, like I don't like, I don't well,

1144
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 6: I would say I love it, but like if somebody

1145
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 6: puts it in front of me or there's a drink

1146
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 6: at a party, I'll have it. Like I don't know,

1147
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 6: I'm not like, I don't think I'm strong one way

1148
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 6: or the other with it.

1149
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would you. I mean, if have you ever

1150
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 2: gotten like frad off of eggnog, like when they put

1151
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 2: it in front of you, did they put enough of

1152
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 2: them in front of you?

1153
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 5: I mean you had a great mean of eggnog?

1154
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 6: I would say, like is been part of the process

1155
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 6: of meeting before, but it's never been the reason.

1156
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, it's so the long snaper on a team.

1157
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: You know, you can still gets a ring, but you

1158
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: know how much you get the job done. I got you,

1159
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: all right. So with that being said, how's this going

1160
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: to play out with DK Metcalf and what happened in

1161
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: the the guarantees and voiding potentially of the guarantees based

1162
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: on his altercation with that fan in Detroit one Sunday.

1163
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 6: You know, that's like standard language in a lot of

1164
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 6: contracts where if you get suspended for conduct, detrimental drug suspension,

1165
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 6: whatever it might be. It can avoid the guarantees in

1166
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 6: your contracts. So I wouldn't say that is I wouldn't

1167
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 6: say that's unusual, and and and and just so people know,

1168
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 6: like when you're talking about, you know, like what the

1169
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 6: hearing officer is presiding over there, it's not the terms

1170
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 6: of the contract. It's just the suspension. So it's not

1171
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 6: like a hearing officer can go in there and say, Okay,

1172
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 6: well we're gonna hold.

1173
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 15: Your two game suspension, but you have to keep.

1174
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 6: Your guarantees, you know. So it's either one or the other.

1175
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 6: And and look like I think, you know, it's it's

1176
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 6: hard because there's this is one of those where it's like,

1177
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 6: you know, the fan says one thing, DK says another thing.

1178
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 6: How do you how do you adjudicate who's lying who

1179
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 6: is not? And then you know you have I would

1180
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 6: think like the league could find someone, whether it's a

1181
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 6: security guard, it's other season ticket holders that were in

1182
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 6: that section. I would think the league in the lines

1183
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 6: could find someone who is with an earshot who was

1184
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 6: a witness to that conversation. But maybe that's asking too much.

1185
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 6: I don't know. I just know this.

1186
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 15: I just know this.

1187
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 6: Like I it's a serious thing for a player, because

1188
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 6: you know, if this gives a team a lot of

1189
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 6: freedom to walk away over the next couple of years

1190
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 6: if they want to, and you know, guaranteed money to

1191
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 6: everything in the NFL. So like, if the Steelers decide

1192
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 6: we're going to tear this whole thing down and build

1193
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 6: it back from the ground up after this.

1194
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 15: Year, and they want to walk away from DK.

1195
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 6: DK, They've got a lot more flexibility to do that.

1196
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 6: It's a suspension of hells.

1197
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 2: Aby doesn't it open up the conversation to a larger

1198
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 2: a larger one, Like to me, right, what is DK

1199
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 2: saying with Sid? Do you know that for certain what

1200
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 2: he's alleging.

1201
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 6: I mean he's yeah, So he's alleged that there were

1202
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 6: some sort of racial and I don't know, or a

1203
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 6: racial reference, but it was something there. The fan has

1204
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 6: adamantly denied that, and like the fan had said, I

1205
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 6: think something along the lines of DK doesn't like being

1206
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 6: called by his full name, and so like he was

1207
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 6: referring to him by his full name, and then there

1208
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 6: was some preference to DK's mom.

1209
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 2: So, I mean, here's the reason why I asked, Yeah,

1210
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 2: go ahead, I was going to say, because I wanted

1211
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 2: to establish that here. And and the reason why I'm

1212
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 2: asking is DK standing right behind the bench, he's addressing

1213
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 2: one of his teammates. When the guy says whatever it

1214
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 2: is that he's saying, there was no real reaction from

1215
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 2: any of the fans. There was that there was a

1216
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 2: police officer that he looked at and maybe a gesture

1217
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 2: or whatever. Everybody watched him walk over to this fan,

1218
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 2: and you can tell by the way he walked over

1219
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 2: there it was a creepwalk, like he knew he was

1220
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 2: creeping over there to do something. I don't know what

1221
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 2: it was going to be. It ended up him grabbing

1222
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 2: his hair. But abe, doesn't it open the conversation to

1223
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 2: a larger conversation. If there were truly a racial slur

1224
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 2: of some type that was hollered, why did that police

1225
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 2: officer not react? Why didn't who? By the way, the

1226
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 2: tendant that was standing there in the red jacket, he

1227
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 2: was black. He was a black dude. If there was

1228
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 2: a racial slur of anything any type that was said,

1229
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 2: they would have drugged that man up out of there,

1230
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 2: like there's no doubt in my mind they would have

1231
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 2: grabbed that man up and drug him up out of

1232
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 2: that stadium. For the fact that there was no real

1233
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 2: reactions at all between the interaction between the fan and DK,

1234
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 2: it raises more a question to me as to why

1235
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 2: was it so casual for the people that were standing

1236
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 2: involved in it to just let him walk over and

1237
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 2: do it right?

1238
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 6: And I and I like, that's all the stuff that

1239
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 6: the league has to dig through, and like, you know,

1240
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 6: evidently there was I think a history with DK and

1241
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 6: this Fand I don't want to speak out of school here,

1242
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 6: but I guess there have been something previously that had

1243
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 6: happened between DK and the fan. A lots on the

1244
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 6: Steelers were there, which I'm not sure when that was,

1245
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 6: but there was when he was with Seahawks. I'm sorry,

1246
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 6: we're we're been when he was a Seahawks, So you know,

1247
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 6: I like, that's my That's my whole thing. LeVar is

1248
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 6: like this didn't happen in some like empty hallway, you

1249
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 6: know what I mean, Like it happened in a stadium.

1250
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 6: And like again, like it's not like the Lions don't

1251
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 6: have records of like who is sitting where, Like those

1252
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 6: are seats right on the stield. Those are all seats

1253
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 6: of ticket holders.

1254
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 15: Like they know who are saying, they know who's sitting in.

1255
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 6: Those seats, they know, you know, obviously the identity of

1256
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 6: their own security guards. You know, so like there should

1257
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 6: be a pretty expedient way to get to that information,

1258
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 6: you know. And again and like it's you know, obviously,

1259
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 6: if there are any sort of racial slurs involved here.

1260
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 15: It takes on a completely different context.

1261
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 6: On the flip side, if DK is accusing this guy

1262
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 6: of that without like and it's not true, that's that's

1263
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 6: not good either, you know, so one way or the other,

1264
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 6: something pretty bad is happening here.

1265
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 5: Get him on x AT.

1266
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: Albert Breers, senior NFL reporter, lead content strategists for.

1267
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 5: The MMQB, joining us here on Fox Sports Radio.

1268
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: So we're talking about the situation with JJ McCarthy in

1269
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota earlier and he's out again. It's another injury. The

1270
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: play has been spotty, although it's been better over the

1271
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: past couple of games, and I'm just wondering at this point,

1272
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: at the very least, they've got to bring in some

1273
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: level of competition for next year, just based on the

1274
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: play and the availability to play for JJ McCarthy, Right.

1275
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think your spot on it.

1276
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 6: And they tried to this year. You know, that was

1277
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 6: the thing is like I that was the attempt to

1278
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 6: keep Sam Darnold. That was the attempt to keep Daniel Jones.

1279
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 6: And they put competitive offers in front of those two

1280
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 6: guys with what those guys got and Seattle and Indianapolis,

1281
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 6: and look like those guys.

1282
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 15: Made their decisions, and I you know, you look at the.

1283
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 6: Decisions those guys made. It was based on, well, you

1284
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 6: took this guy, this other guy with a tenth pick

1285
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 6: in the draft. So if he shows he's turning a corner, like,

1286
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 6: you're not going to play me, you know. So this

1287
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 6: is maybe a one year thing where I can go

1288
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 6: to this other place Seattle or Indianapolis, and if I

1289
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 6: play well enough, I give you the quarterback in the

1290
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 6: next five years. I could be in the cour Becks

1291
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 6: in the next ten years. So give me that opportunity.

1292
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 6: And that's sort of I think where you know, the

1293
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 6: Vikings would be in this situation too, going into the

1294
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 6: offseason where it's easy to say bringing competition, Okay, like

1295
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 6: so who's going to sign up to that, Well, it's

1296
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 6: probably not going to be a top show quarterback unless

1297
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 6: you give him the job and then you're done with JJ,

1298
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 6: you know.

1299
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 15: So I think it's sort of the same situation.

1300
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 6: They were in coming out of last year, where they

1301
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 6: still need more information on who JJ is going to

1302
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 6: be long term as a quarterback, and they liked a

1303
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 6: lot of things about him, but there's obviously still a

1304
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 6: lot of unknown and the health is part of that too.

1305
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 6: So I absolutely I'm with you, Jonas. I think they

1306
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 6: do what they did last offseason, which is try to

1307
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 6: bring in competition for JJ.

1308
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 15: Now, last year was different.

1309
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 6: Because they were trying to retain competition for him. Now

1310
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 6: they've got to go out and find competition for him.

1311
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 6: But you know, it wouldn't surprise me if they go

1312
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 6: out and try to do what they did a couple

1313
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 6: of years ago for reclamation project bringing in Sam you know,

1314
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 6: sort of what the Bucks did a few years ago

1315
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 6: bringing in Baker. Try to find somebody as a reclamation project,

1316
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 6: you know, be that of Kyler Murray or two a

1317
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 6: tunk of blower or someone like that that could legitimately

1318
01:07:56,200 --> 01:08:00,479
Speaker 6: compete with with with uh with with JJ's the job,

1319
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 6: and offer that person the opportunity to say you can

1320
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 6: completely change the face of your career. If you come

1321
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 6: in here, you beat out JJ and you play well

1322
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 6: with you know, Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and a

1323
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 6: really gifted group of skilled position players around you.

1324
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 2: What's that situation like in Cleveland? Obviously Stefanski addressed not

1325
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 2: activating Deshaun Watson. I would have thought it been interesting

1326
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 2: to see if he did and tried to maybe work

1327
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 2: them in, maybe giving you some reps in the last

1328
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 2: couple of games of the year if it were possible.

1329
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 2: But that's not going to happen. But he said some

1330
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 2: really really glowing things about Deshaun Watson and his involvement

1331
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 2: and participation. Is that a setup for if Stefanski's back,

1332
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 2: what the future looks like with Deshaun Watson? How it's

1333
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 2: a complicated situation. How how do you see them or

1334
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 2: what conversations are taking place around the quarterback's position in

1335
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 2: specific particularly to Deshaun Watson.

1336
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,719
Speaker 15: Yeah, I don't think the owners made a decision on.

1337
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 6: What he what he's what he's going to do with

1338
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 6: Kevin Stefanski at so that's number one.

1339
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 15: Like, so if we don't know who.

1340
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 6: The coach is going to be next year. It's kind

1341
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 6: of hard to really look at and say, Okay, here's

1342
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 6: the pass out. Reality is, though, that they have forties

1343
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 6: this million dollars fully guaranteed due to Shawn Watson next year.

1344
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,680
Speaker 6: They would take an enormous cap hit if they just

1345
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 6: cut him. So, like you look at it and you say,

1346
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 6: we better cutting bait or are we better just hanging

1347
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 6: onto this for the last year of the deal and

1348
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 6: seeing what it looks like and if it doesn't work out, well,

1349
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 6: you know, like then you know, it doesn't really change

1350
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 6: much about where we're at. Like what I don't see

1351
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 6: happening in the bar is like I'd be surprised if

1352
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 6: they bank anything on it working out, you know, as

1353
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 6: far as okay, like so he have to do it

1354
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 6: on the roster. We have this Seawan on the roster

1355
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 6: going into twenty twenty six. Don't know if either of

1356
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 6: those guys are going to be a viable quarterback for

1357
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 6: us next year and through the future, but those two

1358
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 6: could at least give us some flexibility where if we

1359
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 6: don't like our options out there, either on the veteran

1360
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 6: market or or in the draft, we don't have to

1361
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 6: overextend ourselves. You know. In other words, like if you're

1362
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,680
Speaker 6: not in love with Bernana Mendoza or Dhntay Moore if

1363
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 6: he comes out, or Ty Simpson or any of the

1364
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 6: quarterbacks in this year's class, you can look at it

1365
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 6: and say, all right, you know what, Like we're not

1366
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 6: going to spend the second or third or fourth overall

1367
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 6: pick on a quarterback this year.

1368
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 15: So I think that'd be the way that they would

1369
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 15: look at it. But again, like until we know who.

1370
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 6: The coach is, it's hard to speak with any certainty

1371
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 6: on on what it's going to look like fore or

1372
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 6: four months from now.

1373
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Abe we were talking yesterday, LeVar made the point that

1374
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: this is for a year as far as Coach of.

1375
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 5: The Year goes, there are so many.

1376
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: Options on the table for guys that have just done

1377
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 1: tremendous jobs, whether it's Liam Cohen, Ben Johnson, Mike Rabel,

1378
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald, Dave Canal's like, there's so many coaches out there.

1379
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 5: If you had to vote two.

1380
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 1: Days Shanahan, Yeah, Kyle Shannan, if you had to vote today,

1381
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 1: who's your coach of the year in the NFL?

1382
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 6: Probably Rabel or Cohen. I would say, like, I just like,

1383
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 6: looking what the Ben Johnson's got to be up there too,

1384
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,560
Speaker 6: like the three new guys, And I hate doing that

1385
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 6: because that's kind of the default thing. Like you give

1386
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,599
Speaker 6: guys who are new like the most credit for coming

1387
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 6: in and flipping things. But I mean, all three of

1388
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 6: those guys like came into situations that, in one way

1389
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 6: or another were fundamentally broken and didn't just fix them,

1390
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 6: but are like all three of those teams are in competition,

1391
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 6: but two weeks left for the number one seats for conference.

1392
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 6: I mean that's crazy, you know, So I'd say those

1393
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 6: three guys would be the top of my list if

1394
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 6: I had to, I had to parse it.

1395
01:11:59,600 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I.

1396
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 6: Get I have a hard time with this. I love

1397
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 6: what all three guys have done.

1398
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 2: But what name is in your head right now that

1399
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:12,680
Speaker 2: you want to say what you like? I don't want

1400
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 2: to get away.

1401
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 6: Liam Collin is in my head right now, just.

1402
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 15: Because like at the very least, like you look.

1403
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 6: At like what Raybill has done, and he has an

1404
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 6: MVP candidate at quarterback and part of like how Drake

1405
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 6: may has played is because of my but like Drake

1406
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 6: has played like an MVP all year. Ben Johnson, I

1407
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 6: think inherited a roster that was actually pretty well built,

1408
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 6: you know. And I think you look at like what

1409
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 6: Liam Collend has done in Jacksonville, and so many things

1410
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 6: were so messed up about that place.

1411
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 15: You know what I mean, And it was just like

1412
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 15: I just think, like.

1413
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 6: I look at where Jacksonville was, and it was like,

1414
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 6: if you had told me of those three teams which

1415
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 6: is least likely to make the playoffs at the beginning

1416
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 6: of the year, I would have said the Jaguars, I.

1417
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,759
Speaker 1: Mean, plus the ability to overcome that that goofy Duvall

1418
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: comment to start off the season, I think he should

1419
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: get some extra And they lost Travis Hunter.

1420
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, he created like some self created diversity there and

1421
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 6: the introduction running.

1422
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is a good point.

1423
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 1: LeVar just brought up that I totally forgot about. Yeah,

1424
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 1: And they lost Travis Hunter, right, That's was a big loss.

1425
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 6: And the guy that they were going to count on

1426
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 6: and Brian Thomas hasn't played as well as they had hoped, right.

1427
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,879
Speaker 15: Like, think about this, like Arthur Washington.

1428
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:40,440
Speaker 6: I don't think anybody would have thought, like in December

1429
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 6: of this year that Arthur Washington would be like a

1430
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 6: game changing player in a high leverage AFC game with

1431
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 6: implication on the number one seed and Parker Washington had

1432
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 6: six guys. I think it was one hundred and forty

1433
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 6: five yards right, Like, so like when you were talking

1434
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 6: about like just maximizing people, you know what I mean,

1435
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 6: Like I think all three of those guys have done that.

1436
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 6: But yeah, you're right, Like with with some of the

1437
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,679
Speaker 6: stuff with Liam, like there were the questions is Trevor

1438
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 6: Lawrence broken coming into the year? Trevor has progressively gotten

1439
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 6: better over the course of the year. Drives that teams

1440
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 6: had a dynamite year. A lot of people have given

1441
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,560
Speaker 6: up on him and what he could be. Like you

1442
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,640
Speaker 6: take me a lot of the guys that he inherited

1443
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 6: that other people may have given up on and really

1444
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:27,759
Speaker 6: turned them into productive players.

1445
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:31,639
Speaker 15: So you know, even like on the defensive side, guys like.

1446
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 6: Josh Haynes Allen, like they they've really maximized what they

1447
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 6: have there. It's again like all three guys have been impressive.

1448
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:39,799
Speaker 6: Like maybe if I had to parse that would.

1449
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 14: Say Liam, but we still got two weeks ago, all right,

1450
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 14: so uh, you know, just in the case that we

1451
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 14: don't catch up with you before the game, we got

1452
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 14: to ask you, right, it is that time the Pride

1453
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 14: of Ohio.

1454
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 6: Are you guys in the Year's either know? Is that

1455
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 6: another that they offer you guys?

1456
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 5: No, I mean I think I think we're in I

1457
01:14:57,880 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 5: believe we're in another years.

1458
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:01,680
Speaker 15: I don't know if i'd be on Thursday next week,

1459
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 15: because if you guys are.

1460
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 6: In New Year's Day, then I'd be whatever. Or do

1461
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 6: you guys want me to make a pick now? Right?

1462
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'm just saying, you know what, what are

1463
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 1: you feeling? Because you know, maybe things will change a

1464
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: week from now, But do you feel ab just picking

1465
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: a random number out of the hat? Do you feel

1466
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:18,839
Speaker 1: that Ohio State at the end of their game against

1467
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: Miami will have won by more than nine.

1468
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:22,480
Speaker 5: And a half points?

1469
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 2: Yes?

1470
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 5: Yes, conviction. That's some conviction right there.

1471
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would go check here on my first Twitter.

1472
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 6: It looks like you've taken some of the things that

1473
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 6: I just don't know how. You look at that receiver

1474
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 6: and you give the kids all due respects, you give

1475
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 6: the kids from USC the bullet in the couple Awards,

1476
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 6: and it seems to like maybe me took it personally

1477
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 6: so he'll be solely healthy again. He wasn't healthy the

1478
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,799
Speaker 6: last couple of weeks of season. He's fighting through some stuff.

1479
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 15: I just I hope it looks like I.

1480
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:01,680
Speaker 6: Did last December. Guys, you know when I think everybody

1481
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 6: was asking questions about where the team was at and

1482
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 6: everything else, and then you.

1483
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 15: Know, the gates closed and Tennessee was in that what

1484
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:09,640
Speaker 15: did they call it?

1485
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 6: Nalen North right, like that.

1486
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 15: Was what they were trying to call it. The guys

1487
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 15: came out.

1488
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:15,640
Speaker 6: With their shirts off and and went home with their

1489
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 6: sail between their legs. So I would hope. I would

1490
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 6: hope that the way that the team punched the gas

1491
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 6: last year, that they find that year again. And I

1492
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 6: think there's a chance they will.

1493
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you make of the opening round of

1494
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: the college football Playoff this year? Because last year it

1495
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 1: was a clean scream for home field and this year

1496
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: you had a couple of like I'm still trying to

1497
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 1: figure out what the hell Miami Texas A and m

1498
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 1: was Like that was like the hair of the dog game.

1499
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I have, like my first two thoughts.

1500
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 6: My first two thoughts are like I do think, well,

1501
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,600
Speaker 6: I'll give you three so on what you just said, Like,

1502
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 6: I do think like there's some element of I would say,

1503
01:16:57,360 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 6: I was in there's some element of like the layoff

1504
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,719
Speaker 6: effective team, and I think that hit last year too,

1505
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 6: where you had all the teams that had the buy

1506
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 6: losing you know, their first game, Like I do wonder

1507
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 6: like how much that affects the way the teams are

1508
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 6: playing and you.

1509
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 15: Know whether or not they can they can they can.

1510
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,639
Speaker 6: Work for the scheduling there a little bit. My second

1511
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 6: thought would be that we did not need two points

1512
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 6: and James Madison in the bracket. I mean, I don't know,

1513
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 6: I don't know what what the idea is there. I mean,

1514
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,680
Speaker 6: I know it's the ACC's fault, but like this ain't basketball,

1515
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 6: like you know, it's just honestly, like you're taking what

1516
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 6: should be like a great celebration of the sport and

1517
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 6: like crumbling it up and throwing in the trash for

1518
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 6: like the one percent chance that either of those teams

1519
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,639
Speaker 6: making compelling it all. And again that's all due respect,

1520
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,839
Speaker 6: but like you know, we saw some one all necessarily

1521
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 6: in the year. We know what that looks like. You know,

1522
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 6: So there's that, and then you know, I I would say,

1523
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 6: I would say the third thing is I would love

1524
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 6: to have more on campus games.

1525
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 15: Because the atmosphere at Texas A and M the atmosphere.

1526
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 6: And Oklahoma was incredible, look incredible.

1527
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 15: You know, and I all missed too.

1528
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:20,480
Speaker 6: They they the idea that we could have quarter finals

1529
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 6: at the site of what would it be? It would

1530
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 6: be Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia and who am I missing?

1531
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 15: And and and Texas Tech?

1532
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, Like can you imagine what that would be like?

1533
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 6: You know, next week? So I wish we I wish

1534
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:42,639
Speaker 6: we had that too, But unfortunately, old traditions die hard.

1535
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 6: And you know, I guess there's some ball executives who

1536
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 6: don't want to walk away from the paycheck they've been

1537
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 6: getting from decade for decades. So I wish you could

1538
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 6: work that part of it out too.

1539
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 5: I mean, look to your point.

1540
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning even said it that Texas Tech deserves to

1541
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,759
Speaker 1: have a home game that like he said.

1542
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:02,600
Speaker 5: It himself, imagine what would be like, Oh my god.

1543
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 1: Like yeah, because and you can. It's one of those

1544
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 1: things to where and I was thinking about this. I

1545
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: thought about it last year, and I thought about it

1546
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 1: this year. It's one of those things to where you

1547
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: don't have to be there to be able to see

1548
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 1: the effect that has on television like you could just

1549
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: watch it and it's got that big fight feel to it,

1550
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 1: and it's I mean those man Texas A and M

1551
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: they were out there for hours, hours before that game

1552
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: getting ready to go and unfortunately didn't work out in

1553
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 1: their favor.

1554
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 5: So fun.

1555
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 6: Man who wants to see in the NFL SAT Like

1556
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 6: who who was asking for that? You know what I mean?

1557
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 6: Like I see enough games of Jerry World, Like I

1558
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 6: don't I don't need to see. I don't need to

1559
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 6: see another game an NFL stadium because they have three

1560
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 6: hundred luxury suites in the buildings, you know what I mean,

1561
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 6: Like I don't need that, Like I like, and I

1562
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 6: understand if you if you want to do that for

1563
01:19:58,040 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 6: the semis and the finals, great, you know what, Like

1564
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,759
Speaker 6: that's fine, no problem. I love the Rose Bull. Incorporate

1565
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 6: the Rose Bull into that, you know, But.

1566
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 15: There's no I mean, like the history of.

1567
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 6: The Cotton Bowl, Like the Cotton Bowl got moved from

1568
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 6: the actual Cotton Bowl stadium itself into an NFL stadium

1569
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 6: more than a decade ago. Like that's not the Cotton

1570
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 6: Bowl the way the Road Bowl is the Road Bowl anymore,

1571
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:21,760
Speaker 6: you know what I mean?

1572
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 15: So it just it sucks and I wish they would

1573
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 15: do more.

1574
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 6: It's the same idea as canceling a Notre Dame US game,

1575
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 6: which I wish Frady was around to talk about that.

1576
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 6: It's just like you are you are, instead of like

1577
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 6: leaning into what you're really good at, You're like.

1578
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 15: You're just going to the ATM.

1579
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 9: You know.

1580
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 6: So probably not the best way to put it, but

1581
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 6: it just sucks that they don't lean into more of

1582
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 6: their traditions that way.

1583
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you. It's yeah, we talked about that yesterday.

1584
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 5: It's it's a bummer, and you know, twenty thirty is

1585
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 5: the earlier they can get.

1586
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,679
Speaker 1: Earliest they can get it fixed. So yeah, it's it's crazy,

1587
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 1: but AB always appreciate it.

1588
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:00,840

Speaker 1: time in the NFL, but upon further review, oops, that'll

Speaker 1: when the job calls for the best call, Makita built
