Right, So over under nine three pointers, 176 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 5: I could easily take eight or seven and nobody would 177 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:28,239 Speaker 5: think anything. 178 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: But this wasn't about problem exactly. 179 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 5: Or I took a step in, nobody was in front 180 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 5: of me, right, I stepped on the line, I stepped forward, 181 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 5: or whatever it is. 182 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 2: The problem here. This is point shaving. 183 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 5: It's about spreads, okay, And they get to these kids 184 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 5: because you talk about nil and all this money that 185 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 5: the kids are making. Not everybody's making nil money. It's 186 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 5: the biggest myth and fallacy going on. Everybody's not making loot. 187 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: All right. 188 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 5: If you're at Townshend or Kent State or South Alabama 189 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 5: or something like that, you're not making big bucks. 190 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: Okay. 191 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 5: So when somebody comes to you and says, hey, Kelvin, 192 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 5: I just need you to miss three free throws, right, 193 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 5: miss two shots and you'll win the game. 194 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 2: And I'll give you thirty gram. 195 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 6: Right. 196 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: He're not telling you to have a goose. 197 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 5: He not telling you throw the ball out of bounds 198 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 5: or go zero for ten from the free throw line. 199 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 5: That's obvious and you'll never do that, am I right? 200 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 5: You wouldn't do that. But could I miss three free throws? 201 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 2: Yeah? I can? Could I miss a couple of buddies 202 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 2: or easy buck? Yeah I can. Okay, here's my thing, Kelvin, 203 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: and then I'm gona turn over to you. 204 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 5: This can end very quickly if the colleges get out 205 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 5: of bed with gambling. 206 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 2: Okay, no more television. Here's the spread for the night here, 207 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: no more that give back the gambling houses their money. 208 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 2: And you gotta get out of bed with gambling. 209 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 5: And it used to be taboo where you wouldn't even 210 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 5: think about talking about a spread. 211 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 2: They would never mention on the game. You know this. 212 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 5: They're in bed with it. And until you take yourself 213 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 5: on me totally out of it. This is what you've 214 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 5: set up and there's no way to stop it. There's 215 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 5: unless you make it the death penalty, all right. It 216 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 5: has to be the death penalty for that program and 217 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 5: for that kid. And you can't be a part of gambling. 218 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 5: That's where I'm at. 219 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: The problem or the challenge is the toothpastes out the 220 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: two and the money is everywhere now and you just 221 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: mentioned and I'm glad you mentioned it. All these kids 222 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: are making the same money that they hear other kids 223 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: are making. So when I'm sitting on the TV and 224 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying at the bottom of a ticker, you know, 225 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: I'm saying Alabama quarterback getting two million. 226 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 6: Dollars in il deal. You're sitting there. 227 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: As an eighteen nineteen twenty or are like, dang, you 228 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: know here I am playing hard is at Kent State 229 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: or some other school. 230 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 6: And I'm not making any money like that other guy. 231 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: And you start them calls start to hit a little 232 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: different when somebody calls you a ten thousand, fifteen, twenty 233 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: thousand dollars or do something. 234 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, you're thinking nobody's at our games anyway. Listen. 235 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: I went to Eastern Michigan. I went to a game 236 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Back home. It was about 237 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: five hundred of us, maybe a thousand max. And I 238 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: might be giving a few at the game and you're 239 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: looking around. Nobody cares. I'm at the small school, you know, 240 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: no big deal. Who's keeping an eye on that? And 241 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: then you get caught up in this and it's everywhere 242 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: and it's pervasive, and it's like playing an app on 243 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: your phone. 244 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 6: Rob. 245 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: It's so easy for these kids, and I literally mean kids. 246 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: They're on their phones doing prize picks and DraftKings and 247 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: all this like it's just a normal thing, like it's Fortnite, 248 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: And so they're so exposed to just the gambling and 249 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: it's so part of our society. Now where to your point, 250 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: you used to have to hint on TV, Remember Rob, 251 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: You kind of had to say, hey, that shot probably 252 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: matter for somebody or hey, if you look at watching 253 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: the game, you know a touchdown might matter. Today you 254 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: had the hint around gambling and spread. Now they just 255 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: come out and say it exactly. But the challenge robbed 256 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: the issue. I think that you're kind of in a 257 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: tough position. Is the reason why we've known about a 258 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: handful of these last scandals is because of the gambling 259 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: and the apps and availability in track Now it's gotten 260 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: easier to track these things because you it's easier to 261 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: identify because you're logged into this. You're a part of 262 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: this thing. You subscribe to this gambling site, You're part 263 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: of it. Your identity is attached to it, versus the 264 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: black market. I got a guy named Bob a call, 265 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: and so the juxtaposition or the Kesh twenty two is, 266 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: you're right. 267 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 6: Getting rid of this, eliminating it. But it's the same 268 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 6: institutions that. 269 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: We have now, gambling institutions that are allowing people to 270 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: get caught up because it's easier to track. So I 271 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: don't know the answer, and I don't know how you 272 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: give money back, right? What the rich people love? Would 273 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: a rich businesses love to get richer?

The 499 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 13: harv O's are old school football family. I think it's 500 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 13: fair to call them football royalty point between what and 501 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 13: Jim and John have both accomplished at you know, college 502 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 13: and in the NFL. The Giants are their legacy franchise. 503 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 13: I think having that sort of established coach and somebody 504 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 13: who can give them stability and credibility, I think it 505 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 13: probably means a lot to the people in that building. 506 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 13: It's obviously been it's been a rough decade since Tom 507 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 13: Kaughlin stepped down, So I think when they realized they 508 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 13: were going to have a shot at a guy like that, 509 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 13: I think it makes a ton of sense. I think 510 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 13: it makes a ton of sense why John Harbaugh would 511 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 13: want to bring one of the pillar franchises of the 512 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 13: league back to credibility and you know, nothing's guaranteed. 513 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 5: But well, Dave, I'm glad you said that because I'm 514 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 5: about to push back on this John Holbaugh high and 515 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 5: I am because are we ignoring the last ten years, 516 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 5: or the wasting of Lamar and the eighteen double digit 517 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 5: leads that he's blown since two two thousand and eight, 518 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 5: and all these bad games and situations and the idea that, oh, 519 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 5: he just needs a reset and he's going to be 520 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 5: good again. Before Lamar got there, they missed the playoffs 521 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 5: four to five years. 522 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 2: He was on the brink, a p fired back. 523 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 5: Then Lamar shows up win seventy two percent of his games, 524 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 5: and he can't figure it out. 525 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 2: He can't get them to the super Bowl. 526 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 5: Now he's going to go to the New York Football 527 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 5: Giants that don't have close to the roster. This is 528 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 5: the same argument they made for Pete Carroll, that yeah, 529 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 5: well he's going to change. 530 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 2: The culture here. 531 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 5: He's a proving guy and he's done this and that, 532 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 5: and it was an absolute disaster in Las Vegas. And 533 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 5: I believe that John Harball will fail with the Giants 534 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 5: as well. I just I don't think he's been a 535 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 5: good coach over the last eight or ten years. 536 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: I don't. 537 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 13: I have a few pushbacks to that, and I think 538 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 13: it's it's a fair point to bring up Pete Carroll. 539 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 13: I think my argument there would be felt like like 540 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 13: looking back on it, and I definitely thought the Raiders 541 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 13: would be better with Peek. 542 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: Everybody did know. We didn't, not you and I, right, 543 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: but everybody did. 544 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 5: They looked at it and said, oh, that's a great idea, 545 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 5: bringing Pete Carroll get this thing. You know, the culture 546 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 5: turned around right away and it just everything was bad. 547 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 13: I think my argument to that would be, I don't 548 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 13: think John Harbaugh is going to bring his sons with 549 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 13: them with him and expect them to be major pieces 550 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 13: of his coaching staff and the guys that are developing 551 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 13: his offensive line, which I think is a huge piece 552 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 13: of why it wins so. 553 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 7: South in Las Vegas. 554 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 13: My other argument to that number one, and I think 555 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 13: it's a perfectly valid criticism. If you want to say 556 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 13: John harvad didn't get the Ravens over the hump here 557 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 13: with Lamar Jackson. 558 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 7: But where did those losses happen? 559 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 13: They happened to deepen the playoffs, the divisional round, in 560 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 13: the conference championship game. I know the Giants are a 561 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 13: very proud franchise. I know they've won four Super Bowls, 562 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 13: but the New York Giants would kill to be losing 563 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 13: playoff games after the decade that they've had. So if 564 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 13: John Harbaugh can get the New York Giants to a 565 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 13: level of winning ten plus games every year and being 566 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 13: in the mix in the postseason, if you can't get 567 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 13: over the hump, you worry about that when you get there. 568 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 13: Because that's how bad it's been for the New York 569 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 13: Giants since twenty sixteen, is that you're not even talking 570 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 13: about them in that group of teams that have a 571 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 13: shot in January. So that's the problem I'm happy to 572 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 13: figure out three to four years from now when we're 573 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 13: not able to get over the hump. And then the 574 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 13: part about not maximizing Lamar obviously, I mean it's been 575 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 13: heartbreaking for the Ravens here over the last to the 576 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 13: four years, I would say. And the part about Harvad 577 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 13: not being good in between quarterbacks. This is the quarterback 578 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 13: driven league. I mean, that's what happens. You got the 579 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 13: most out of Joe Flacco. I mean, he did have 580 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 13: that run that got you a Super Bowl championship in 581 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 13: twenty twelve, and if you have to retool, that's what 582 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 13: you do. And ultimately, and I'm not saying John Harvad 583 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 13: did this on his own, but you find Lamar Jackson 584 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 13: at the thirty second overall pick a guy that it's 585 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 13: easy to look back and say, well, of course he 586 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 13: was a Heisman winner. 587 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 7: He's this incredible player. People did not feel that. 588 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 13: Way about him clearly when he came out because he 589 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 13: was the last pick in the first round. So if 590 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 13: you can get a guy who can raise your floor 591 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 13: to the point where you're regularly in playoff conversations and 592 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 13: can give you a shot to, if not personally develop 593 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 13: your quarterback into a great player like Lamar Jackson, at 594 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 13: least put the right people in place and be a 595 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 13: piece of that. 596 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 7: I think it makes perfect sense. 597 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 13: Like I said, there's there's no guarantees, but I don't 598 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 13: have a lot of problems if the Giants think John 599 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 13: Harbaugh is the guy to get that done. 600 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: Hey, you know, David Helman is all with us right now. 601 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: The couple on a TV. Yeah, we got to move 602 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: on to the next thing. 603 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 7: Go ahead, more podcasts. 604 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 5: Sometimes, Hey, have me on the podcast because I'll undress 605 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 5: John Habball. 606 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 2: My god, I do want you to know day all right, 607 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 2: just for real? 608 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 5: After Week one and that loss in Buffalo, would they 609 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 5: scored forty points a loss Kelvin. 610 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: What did I say? 611 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: He said, immediately worth firing John Harbor, and he should 612 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: be fired. 613 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 6: That's what said. 614 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 13: He further record, I said three weeks ago, if you 615 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 13: don't make the playoffs, well, Lamar Jackson is still in 616 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 13: his prime. It's completely valid to fire to get fired. 617 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 7: Like, I don't think that's weird or shocking at all. 618 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 13: But I also think John Harbaugh has a track record 619 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 13: that suggests a bad team and a bad organization. Isn't 620 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 13: crazy for wanting him around. Like there's levels to this 621 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 13: thing and the Giants haven't been on that level in 622 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 13: a long time. 623 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: Hey, David, I want to go here. Bill's Broncos should 624 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: be a good one. But let we've talked about this 625 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: throughout the season. If not now, win for Josh Allen 626 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: for Buffalo. If not now, you don't have three of 627 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: the four horsemen. Joe Burrow's not there, Lamar's not there, 628 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. 629 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 2: These Yeah, right, the ESC is just. 630 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: Some younger guys that are in his way. If not now, 631 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: win for Josh. If so, he's got to get it 632 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: done right. 633 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 13: I mean, I think the noise is going to be 634 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 13: really loud if he doesn't. I have a boring view 635 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 13: of this type of stuff. I mean, Josh Allen hasn't 636 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 13: even turned thirty yet, so like, if not now, he's 637 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 13: still going to have a lot more bites at this 638 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 13: Apple and the Bills are beat to Wait a. 639 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 5: Minute, Dan Marino Online one, I'm just telling you, Damn 640 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 5: Marino at one. 641 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 3: I get it. 642 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 7: Like I said, there's no guarantees in this league. 643 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 13: But Josh Allen, I'm relatively confident, is going to have 644 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 13: three to five more. 645 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 7: Years of high caliber. 646 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 13: Play in his you know, before it starts to wind 647 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 13: down for him. 648 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 7: But having said that. 649 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 13: Like these opportunities are definitely not guaranteed. 650 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 7: Look at Lamar, look at Patrick Mahomes this year. 651 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 13: So it's the noise is going to be really loud 652 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 13: for Josh Allen. And I feel a little bit bad 653 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 13: for him because this Bill's team is beat to hell, 654 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 13: Like this Bill's team is not a juggernaut. But I agree, 655 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 13: I don't think I don't think anybody's going to want 656 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 13: to hear that if he can't find a way to 657 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 13: get it done.
