Speaker 2: he was filling his in laws car ninety four degree heat.

15
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,120

Speaker 2: a Monday edition. The voice will join me at one

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: point fifteen go over. Certainly the Browns draft, the off season,

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: the schedule, which, by the way it feels, I saw

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: Florio this morning seeming like next week was That's usually

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: like he's getting a lead on that. Yeah, normally it's

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: this week, but he was saying something to do with

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: upfront Sday. Is that the way you understand it as well?

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my understanding because I read it earlier this

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: morning that they were supposed to be releasing it on

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: the ninth, And then as soon as I told that

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: to Riz and Chris on the really Big show, yeah

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: they you know, like an hour later, I saw Florio

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: send out, well, yeah, no, it looks like it's going

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: to be next week.

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: So okay, I mean, your guess is as good as mine.

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: I guess, Well, I'm gonna have to get to it.

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: We'll get we'll get once we get back in the building,

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: we'll get get that kind of locked down a little bit.

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: Normally it's this week is when they do it. But

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: we'll keep an eye on that. In terms of Jeremiah

37
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: Usu Kora Moa with Z coming up at the two

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: o'clock hour and something I'm very much looking forward to

39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: Z's conversation with Dennis Leary coming up in the two

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: o'clock hour as well on the anniversary of Draft Day,

41
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: and just kind of everything that went into that. Dentist

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: was incredibly giving with his time, and it's a great interview.

43
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: Look forward to sharing it with all of you who

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: maybe missed it over draft weekend, sharing that with you

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: in the in the second hour of the program as well.

46
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: I think the magical words though, are game seven, and

47
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: we'll start there there. There's one thing that the NFL

48
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: and certainly college football has over the other sports, and

49
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: that is kind of the feeling that every game you

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: play matters bigly and certainly as you get down towards

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: the postseason, and obviously in both of them, once you

52
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: get to the postseason, it's a it's a one and

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: done situation, and the rest of the sports world you

54
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: don't get those very often save for a Game seven.

55
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: They are actually three of them this weekend. There were

56
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: two of them in the NHL, and then of course

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: the calves here on Sunday. And what you get with

58
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: a Game seven is everything that we get all of

59
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 2: the time in football, which is a do or die situation.

60
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: You had it over the weekend, I have to imagine.

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: So the way that this worked for me, we had

62
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: Laxfest in town in Hudson all weekend, so we were

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: there all day Saturday, and then my wife was on

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: the board, and so she was in and out most

65
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: of the day on Sunday, and then the boys and

66
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: I were back and forth most of the day Sunday.

67
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: But because of the rare one o'clock tip, I was

68
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: actually able to watch all of this, which was pretty

69
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: rare for me to be able to do. Now, I'm

70
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: not going to it would be disingenuous for me to

71
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: come on here and act like I've watched fifty Cavs

72
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: games this year. I haven't a lot of times. It's

73
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: on in the background. You're waiting for a time, at

74
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: least I was. I was waiting for a time to

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: jump onto this bandwagon and was largely disinterested in the

76
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: Orlando series through the first four or five games because

77
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: the games weren't that great.

78
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah they're no.

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: It was just it was bad ball.

80
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 5: I just was.

81
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: It was like, as soon as somebody got a little

82
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: bit ahead, you just push the chips in and away

83
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: you go. And then we had what we had on Friday,

84
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: and I gotta admit when I saw Donovan go for

85
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: fifty and you didn't win, I was quite concerned that

86
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: maybe you can't rely on him that much in consecutive games. Like,

87
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: it just takes so much out of you. And the

88
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: way he's playing Nick with the knee injury that's obviously

89
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: still bugging him, and in the game down there, it

90
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: was just a relentless pursuit of the rim. I mean,

91
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: that takes so much energy to go at the rim

92
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 2: the way that he did over and over and over again.

93
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: And so when it started the way that it did yesterday,

94
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: nervy to say the least.

95
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I mean, and I'm doing all of the

96
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: postgame coverage shows here at ESPN Cleveland, ESPN Cleveland Primetime.

97
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: They're immediately after the games and we go for about

98
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: an hour and a half. And the game on Friday night,

99
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: whenever he scored the fifty, I said it. I thought

100
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: it was a devastating loss. I thought that that was

101
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: the game that you had to have because now you're

102
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: going into you're emotionally drained heading into game seven, which

103
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: is all about emotions at that moment in time, and

104
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: that's how it started off. They just looked drained. You

105
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 3: were down eighteen in the second quarter. I mean, that

106
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 3: could have turned into a thirty point blowout, you know,

107
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 3: if they didn't kick it in gear in that second half,

108
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 3: and with about four minutes left in the second quarter,

109
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: they held him scoreless essentially, and they ended up scoring I.

110
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: Think it was like sixty one to forty one.

111
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: Or whatever the outcome was from four minutes left in

112
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: the second quarter. They were fantastic. And Donovan Mitchell scoring

113
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: eighty nine points in Game six and seven only second

114
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: to Alan Iverson when he did in six and seven

115
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: versus the Milwaukee Bucks back in two thousand and one. So,

116
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 3: I mean, what he's doing is unbelievable right now.

117
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's superstar stuff, right and it's what he was

118
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: acquired to be. But the ask is even greater, you know,

119
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: because I think when we acquired him, thinking was, well,

120
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: you're gonna have this nucleus. You know, mobilely will get

121
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: better offensively, Garland will come along with certainly with Donovan,

122
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: and then you know, obviously we're hoping that Jared Allen,

123
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: who has been injured obviously would be a very big

124
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: part of it. I think to me, it felt like,

125
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: and I'm curious you do in the postgame shows. To me,

126
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: yesterday felt like about as big a calvs game since

127
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: obviously since Lebron's been here, but even more so in

128
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: terms of the ramifications for what it would mean in

129
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: the future. So many uncertainties with this offseason and what

130
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: is to come and if this is the end of

131
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: the line for Donovan here, which from all accounts feels

132
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: like it's in play at least at the very least

133
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: that it's in play. I do think it was critical

134
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: to look back and say, you know, let's get to

135
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: the second round, let's make it interesting against Boston, Let's

136
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: see what this thing can do playing with a lot

137
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: of pressure. And I think his own personal legacy too,

138
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: was at stake a little bit. He certainly played that

139
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: way the last time out in Utah. You know, he's

140
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 2: out in the first round, And to me, I just

141
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: saw a guy who just was singularly determined to not

142
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: let his team lose. And I think you're going to

143
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: look back very fondly on that only forever. I mean,

144
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: the first series win without Lebron since ninety three. You

145
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: think about the memory that the moments that he's given

146
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: us through the years and now and this is the

147
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: cool part. Now the stage is set for this series

148
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: with Boston, and obviously the experts in the in the

149
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: world as it were, not given us much of a chance.

150
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: I think the most popular outcome is a four to

151
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 2: zero series sweep of Boston. But at the same time,

152
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: if you have a superstar, you have a puncher's chance,

153
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: and the Cavaliers absolutely have a superstar. So I think

154
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: for me, no, I don't expect them to beat Boston,

155
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: but I expect it to be a series. And if

156
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: it is, that's what we sign up for, right is

157
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: for this to be interesting into May.

158
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, And I'm kind of with you.

159
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 3: I don't think that the Calves are going to win

160
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: this series, but I do think that it does go six. Now,

161
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: in the games that they've played them this year, they've

162
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: played them in three games, they've kept them, you know,

163
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: under ten points, you know, in all of the games,

164
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: and the Cavs do end up having one of those

165
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: being the last one. Now, you need a Dean Wade

166
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: to go for twenty in the fourth quarter in order

167
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: for you to win that game back in March. But

168
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: it's certainly possible. And to your point about this being

169
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: the first playoff series since nineteen ninety three, the guy

170
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: that I did the co hosting with yesterday, Jordan Climac

171
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: of the Next Level. He's thirty. He's never seen a

172
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 3: playoff victory without Lebron James, you know, on the court,

173
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: you know, with this Cavalier squad.

174
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: So it's one of those things.

175
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: Where like this is, this is a huge moment, and

176
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: I know that there's a lot of people out there

177
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: that are saying, oh, well, it's just the first round.

178
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 4: It's that da da da da da da.

179
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: That's the whole Lebron James mindset that we've had here

180
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: for the last twenty years, is that, oh, the first

181
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: round doesn't mean anything. No, this is this could be

182
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: a turning point for this franchise. Not saying that they're

183
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: going to win the title this year or anything like that,

184
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: but if they put up a fight against Boston, you

185
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: never know what could happen in the future. Maybe you know,

186
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: this is a free agent destination and Donovan does want

187
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: to stay here, maybe you're able to trade some pieces

188
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: and parts to get another wheel here. That's it's certainly

189
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: a possibility.

190
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: What you just said is something Zee and I talked about.

191
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: I want to say is around two weeks ago that

192
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: collectively we were spoiled by Lebron James. Yes, because I

193
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: think we all can recognize that now.

194
00:08:58,960 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 6: But for the.

195
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: Certainly the last half of his first stint and then

196
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: his entire second stint. Here the expectation was wake me

197
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: up in the finals. Yep, that was kind of it.

198
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: I mean he went to eight straight finals, correct, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

199
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: And even in that first stretch when they lost to

200
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 2: Orlando in the postseason or they lost to Boston in

201
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: the postseason, you knew that you had a championship contender.

202
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: This this team potentially could grow into that. If it

203
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 2: is able to stick together and guys are able to develop,

204
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: maybe it grows into that. But this is how the

205
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: rest of the NBA lives. Like you think about NBA

206
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: Crazy City, You think about like Sacramento, Like how long

207
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: it's been since they've seen the second round. There are

208
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of examples like that of like, don't take

209
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: this stuff for granted. Don't take a game seven win

210
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: at home for granted. Don't take an Eastern Conference semifinals

211
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 2: against Boston for granted. These are tough. It is hard

212
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: to build in that league. You think about the teams

213
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: that have drafted near the top in that sport over

214
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: the last twenty years, and how hard I mean, my god,

215
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: I mentioned Sacramento. You think about Charlotte, you think about

216
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: all these franchises that are continually picking.

217
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 4: And think about Minnesota.

218
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: Minnesota finally hit it, they hit the lottery with this

219
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: Edwards kid, but it was twenty years of starts and stops.

220
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: We basically went from Lebron to contender, like right there,

221
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: like relevant right away. They've drafted well, they've developed well.

222
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: They need to take another step. Sure, but boy, I

223
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: think this has a chance to be a lot of

224
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: fun with Boston, and I'm hopeful that we get competitive games.

225
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 2: Somebody said to me this morning, would you rather have

226
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: a seven game series in which the Cavs ultimately lose

227
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: but all of the games are not competitive or a

228
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: gentleman's sweep like the Lakers did with the Nuggets, but

229
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: every game came down to the last minute. If I

230
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,239
Speaker 2: lose either way, I just want it to be competitive.

231
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: I want every game to be a good game, man,

232
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: because sometimes we've seen in this postseason that these games

233
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: can get lopsided and then teams push their chips in.

234
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: That's what I feared yesterday with that first half, and

235
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: Donovan made sure it didn't happen. But that's kind of

236
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: my wish for this thing is that we get a

237
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: really competitive series.

238
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm the same sort of way like I

239
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: would love to see a competitive series if it does

240
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: come down to a couple of buzzer beater shots or

241
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: you know, within like a five point game or something

242
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: along the lines of that. You know, I'm looking for

243
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: the competitive series. If you're going to tell me that

244
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 3: we don't win, no matter what, give me the competitive series.

245
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: Although again I think that this goes six, who knows,

246
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 3: maybe it goes seven. I would love to see it happen.

247
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: I'd love to see a game six. So do they

248
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: go two three to two in this round or.

249
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: I believe so? Yeah, I believe. I believe it's two

250
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 4: three two. It could be. It could be the two

251
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 4: to two one one one.

252
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: Okay. What I want is a game at Rocket Mortgage

253
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: that matters. Yeah, that's what I want that. That's you

254
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: get that, and then you get that atmosphere. You got

255
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: a little taste of it as certainly nervy to start

256
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: from the from the home crowd yesterday, but then once

257
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: it started going, then you start to get the we

258
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: want Boston chance, and that's a win for everybody. I

259
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: like that. A couple of things around the league. We

260
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: by the way, we will get to the Tom Brady roast,

261
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: which was a lot.

262
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: It was a lot.

263
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: It was a lot going on. We will get to that.

264
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: Also want to give congratulations and acknowledgment of former Brown's

265
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: running back Duke Johnson hanging it up after eight years

266
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: in the league. Third round draft pick by the Browns

267
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen, played for US, the Texans, the Dolphins,

268
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: and the Bills a little over five thousand yards twenty

269
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: three touchdowns. Here's what I would say about Duke. The

270
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: locker room loved him. He was the consummate professional on

271
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 2: some really bad football teams, and at times Nick the

272
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: only weapon on some really bad football teams. Never complained,

273
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: always held his head up high. I remember Baker taking

274
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: umbrage with some with Duke had an injury in camp,

275
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: and I remember like yeah, And I remember immediately like

276
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: the room being like, actually, you're not going to say

277
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: that about him, not about him, Yeah, And it got

278
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: shut down in a hurry. That was I think his

279
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: second year.

280
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was Baker's second year.

281
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: It was going into his you know, second year that

282
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: was with Freddy and he was like, you know, get

283
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 3: on or get off the train.

284
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 4: That's basically what it was.

285
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and but Duke was Duke was beloved, asked Joe

286
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: Thomas about Duke Johnson. We have many many times. Loves

287
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: him and so congratulations on it. It's tough man to

288
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: make it go. And he represented himself with class the

289
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: entire time he was here.

290
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and to.

291
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: Be in the NFL for eight years, you know, totally

292
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 3: over five thousand, you know, total yards, he had what

293
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: twenty eight or touchdown twenty three? Yeah, I mean he

294
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: was he was really good. He was a really good back.

295
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 3: And still the thing that I remember the most about this,

296
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 3: and I hate the fact that this is my main

297
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: thing that I remember about Duke, but the fumble against

298
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: Washington that he picks up and he's showing to the

299
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: ref and they're like, nope, it's Washington ball and you

300
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: end up losing that game, I believe by one score.

301
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: It was just an absolute joke.

302
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: But it's one of those things where like you remember

303
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: that and you're like, Duke did everything possible in order

304
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: for you know, you to win that game, and still

305
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: you got screwed by the refs.

306
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's exactly.

307
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 4: That's exactly what it was.

308
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: It's a exactly what it was, all right. As I

309
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: mentioned Jeremiahusu Cormo coming up at the two o'clock hour,

310
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: we'll have the highlights from the Brady Roast, there were

311
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,000

Speaker 6: Bo everybody is good.

328
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 7: I have to tell you this is uh, this is

329
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 7: their uh, this is their season to go out and enjoy.

330
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 7: And you know, got to watch out for the for

331
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 7: the grass. It is so rich because of all that

332
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 7: rain that we kind of have to monitor. You know

333
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 7: that they a lot of people think, oh, they can

334
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 7: eat grass all day. They really can't, because they can

335
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 7: they can founder or things like that. This is my

336
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 7: little lesson here for Cleveland Browns daily today. So we

337
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 7: have to kind of keep them on a clock but

338
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 7: about an hour twenty minutes, and then we get them in.

339
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 7: They're not happy to come in, but hey, they're safe.

340
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: How do you get them in? Do you have do

341
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: you how do you call them to the barn?

342
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 7: You know, usually I clang on the fence post, okay,

343
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 7: and get them that way. Sometimes they're a little obstinate

344
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 7: and I got to hook it out there and get

345
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 7: them in the pasture. So I gotta I gotta go

346
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 7: out with line in hand and.

347
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 6: Hook them and bring them in the.

348
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: Only way we could ever get him to come come

349
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: home would be they would They do like oats, So

350
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: if you tempt them with a little bit of oats,

351
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: then then they'll that sometimes you could get in right

352
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: to come in the right direction. But yes, they will

353
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: eat forever if you allow them to. Yeah, there's no

354
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: question about that. The little heads down and that's the

355
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: way that it goes. Well, that is great, my friend.

356
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: What looks like we're gonna have an NFL schedule release

357
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: probably next week is what it kind of seems like

358
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: it's pointing to now as you've kind of taken a

359
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: look at what the Browns have done this offseason and

360
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: and this is such a unique spot and that they

361
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: really didn't need to do anything, certainly once they acquire

362
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: Jerry Judy and what they hope he can be. This

363
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: is really all about Deshaun is kind of what we're

364
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: where we're at at this point. What what have you

365
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: made of the approach from Andrew Berry and the front

366
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: office this offseason?

367
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 7: Well, I think it's been kind of a quiet off season,

368
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 7: and when it's a quiet off season.

369
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 6: That usually tells you that you're pretty far.

370
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 7: Down the road in the way of being very compared

371
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 7: and that you think you're very good now. And I

372
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 7: think the press think they're very good, And certainly what

373
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 7: we watched last year would give you a lot of

374
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 7: evidence that they are, and so they You're right, they

375
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 7: really didn't have to go out and get an awful lot.

376
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 7: They really didn't have to make a splash.

377
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 8: Now.

378
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 7: I love what Andrew has done the last couple of years,

379
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 7: especially when they have had to go out, for instance,

380
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 7: and get a wide receiver, and they go out and

381
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 7: they make the trade and they get a Mariy Cooper.

382
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 7: Then they bring him in and they get a deal

383
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 7: done with him, and it alleviates that process of maybe

384
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 7: maybe spending wildly in free agency because other suitors are

385
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 7: out there trying to get his services. And then the

386
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 7: same is true this year. You go out and you're

387
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 7: saying to yourself, well, I think that they need a

388
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 7: wide receiver. They need a guy on the other side

389
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 7: of a Marii Cooper. So they go out and they

390
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 7: do a trade, and they go get a guy that

391
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 7: they've always liked in Jerry Judy, and they get him.

392
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 7: And really last year the same thing with Elijah More

393
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 7: and I like that. I like that process of going out,

394
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 7: getting the trade done, bring them in, get a deal

395
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 7: done with them at that point, and now they're part

396
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 7: of everything and you don't get into this wild, wild

397
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 7: spending spree. They quite frankly, they really you know, weren't

398
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 7: in a position to do in the first place because

399
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 7: of their salary cap situation. But I think overall, bow

400
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 7: and certainly during the draft, it's kind of a quiet

401
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 7: period because the Brons are the Brons are pretty set,

402
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 7: you know, the days of saying, you know, as soon

403
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 7: as the draft was concluded, hey, listen, four of the

404
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 7: guys we drafted over the last three days, they must

405
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 7: start on hoping today they have to be in the

406
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 7: starting lineup. These I don't I wouldn't anticipate maybe other

407
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 7: than on special teams, any of the guys that the

408
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 7: Browns drafted this in this current draft to be you know,

409
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 7: pressed into the starting lineup.

410
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: No, it's something Nathan and I have talked about it,

411
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: and I'm sure that this has happened to you a

412
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: bunch of times this offseason. I've had so many friends

413
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 2: and family who have come up to me, and especially

414
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: around the draft and just say, what are we doing?

415
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: Why aren't we getting anybody? Why aren't we doing this?

416
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: And I'm like, you have to understand that this is

417
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: what happens when you have a good team. This is

418
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: what off seasons are like, for the longest time, the

419
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: draft was the super Bowl here and we were worried

420
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 2: about who's Pittsburgh gonna cut? Could they start here?

421
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: Like, we're past that.

422
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: It's something we have to look It was a long

423
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: bad habits we got to get used to. But how

424
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: often has that type of circumstance happened to you this

425
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: off season?

426
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 6: Oh?

427
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 7: I think a lot. And I think really the fact

428
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 7: that we haven't been in the first round for three

429
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 7: years now in a row because of the Show and

430
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 7: Watson deal. I think that that kind of brings everybody

431
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 7: wants to be a part of it and that first night.

432
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 7: Let's basically, that's really exciting if you're in the first

433
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 7: round and you're picking, no matter where you are in

434
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 7: the first round, because that's exciting because there are a

435
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 7: lot of moves that can happen, there's a lot of

436
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 7: draft strategy that can go on, and you're part of

437
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 7: the conversation. Now, we haven't been really a part of

438
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 7: the conversation for the last couple of years because we

439
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 7: have not been in that first round. But again, that's okay,

440
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 7: that really that's okay. We are bringing back a team

441
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 7: that has gone through it, and most importantly both they've

442
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 7: gone through it together. Because the roster isn't going to

443
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 7: change a great deal. We're bringing back a team that will, basically,

444
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 7: certainly on defense, exactly know the system that's in place

445
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 7: with Jim Schwartz because they played with it and they

446
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 7: played under it, and they played for him. And I

447
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 7: would think, I know there's that they've been fiddling and

448
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 7: doodling and dattling with the with the offense, but still

449
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 7: I think the very fact that so many of them

450
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 7: are back on that offense and hopefully adding a healthy

451
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 7: Deshaun Watson, I mean, I think that you're bringing back

452
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 7: a very comfortable team in that there's not a lot

453
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 7: that is really going to drastically change with this football team.

454
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 6: Other than probably learning the kickoff.

455
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 7: Role and trying to decide how we how are we

456
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 7: going to do this? But yeah, I think a lot

457
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 7: of people have been coming up and an I echo

458
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 7: what you're saying. They come up to you and they go,

459
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 7: oh my gosh, what are we doing? Well, we're not

460
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 7: doing anything because we were all you know, we we

461
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 7: won eleven games last year and we were really good,

462
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 7: and we did it under some really extreme circumstances at

463
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 7: the most important position at the quarterback spots, and hopefully

464
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 7: that's going to be ironed out and healthy coming into

465
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 7: this season.

466
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: That's the key to the whole thing, isn't it. It's

467
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: just and and when we you know, when when we

468
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: have the conversation about him and the fan base is

469
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: in the same spot as we all are, right and

470
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: I think everybody is like, whatever it looks like, and

471
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 2: by all accounts talking to ab Kevin everybody, he's progressing

472
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 2: in a way that that everybody's very optimistic about and

473
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 2: it's it's going on schedule and everything looks great, great

474
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: attitude about it everything. He's had some limited media stuff

475
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: throughout the offseason, not much, but it really really none

476
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: of it's going to matter, not the Greenbrier trip, not camp.

477
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 2: It'll really be that opener whoever we open with. That's

478
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 2: it won't be until then, And then honestly, it won't

479
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: be until even later in the fall, until we have

480
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: a real feel for what he's all about health wise,

481
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: and since you're kind of just waiting more than edever

482
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: just to get him on the field and get him going, yeah,

483
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 2: you do.

484
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 7: And the other thing I think that you're going to

485
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 7: need to see and he's going to make every effort

486
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 7: to try and show it to us. All is that,

487
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 7: I think it's safe to say that in the three

488
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 7: years now that he has, you know, been around her,

489
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 7: that you know, in the couple of seasons that he's played,

490
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 7: and now coming into that third year, we have only

491
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 7: seen snippets of what he's been able to do. And

492
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 7: the last snippet was very, very good. It was the

493
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 7: second half against Baltimore.

494
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 6: If only he could have.

495
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 7: Come out in the following week against Pittsburgh, if only

496
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 7: he had been able to and continue that play and.

497
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 6: Say, oh, all right.

498
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 7: Now he won in Baltimore, which is pretty heady stuff,

499
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 7: believe me, for any team to go in there and

500
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 7: beat the Ravens in M and T Bank Stadium. But

501
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 7: now we're starting to see him string together, you know,

502
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 7: more than a good half. Now we've had a complete game,

503
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 7: and now he's won on the road, and now he's

504
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 7: coming back home and he's pretty darn tough to beat

505
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 7: at Brown Stadium. And I think that's what we're all

506
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 7: kind of yearning for right now, is to see him

507
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 7: put together weekend, week out winning play and hopefully really

508
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 7: exciting play because he's got all of that bottled up in,

509
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 7: all of that talent and athletic talent that he has.

510
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 7: And once we see that come into play, down after down,

511
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 7: possession after possession, I think we'll all feel a lot

512
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 7: more comfortable about where he is and how he's.

513
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 6: Going to be. But you're exactly right.

514
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 7: It will begin on opening day, just as it began

515
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 7: last year on opening Day against Cincinnati.

516
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: I could agree with you. It's like the same offseason,

517
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 2: you know what, Yeah, if you just kind of get

518
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 2: to that point, I feel like we did this offseason

519
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: all last year and that we're doing it all over again.

520
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: So in that sense, it's a little bit tough when

521
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 2: the schedule drops with and it seems like it's probably

522
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 2: gonna be next week. What are the things? Where do

523
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: you go right away? What are you most curious about?

524
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 7: Well, I'm always curious about where they open, And because

525
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 7: there was that long long Salmon losing on opening day,

526
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 7: which now has been rectified a bit. You know, the

527
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 7: winning Carolina a couple of years ago, and that very

528
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 7: very very solid, resounding defensive win last year against Cincinnati

529
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 7: after all those years of being zero to one. Because

530
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 7: September always seemed to slip away from them, and I

531
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 7: think that happens to a number of teams that you

532
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 7: can get into a hole really quickly and really early.

533
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 7: And it's not like a baseball season where there's one

534
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 7: hundred and sixty two games and if you have a

535
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 7: bad April, all right, that's okay. The weather warms and men,

536
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 7: you'll be all right, you'll smooth things out. I mean

537
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 7: the NFL, it takes off, and once it takes off,

538
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 7: it's very fast, so losing streaks are not allowed if

539
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 7: you're thinking of going to the postseason. So I always

540
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 7: look through experience now of living with them that that

541
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 7: September schedule is very, very important. I think to see

542
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 7: how they play in September and how they come out

543
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 7: of September, because if you come out of it and

544
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 7: your head is above water, all right, now here we go.

545
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 7: But if you come out of it and you're below

546
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 7: sea level, it is so tough to get back in.

547
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 7: You need another month, You need all of October to

548
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 7: get back into it, and you want to position yourself

549
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 7: there really by Thanksgiving you're ready to make that run,

550
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 7: and the numbers have to add up that way. So

551
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 7: that's the most interesting part of the schedule for me,

552
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 7: how they where they open up, and really that first

553
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 7: that opening month of September.

554
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: I would think, I'm with you. I mean, you can't.

555
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: You can't get buried. Earlier it's done, I would think

556
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: that we would have a home. Oh this is not scores.

557
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 2: I don't have any insider on this, but we do

558
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 2: know that there's the Billy Joel Rod Stewart concert is

559
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: September thirteenth at the Stadium.

560
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 6: I don't know I will be dead, though I will

561
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 6: be at that. I knew.

562
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 2: I know that you would be so that it's hard

563
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: to imagine you'd get it flipped? Could you get a

564
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 2: football game be ready in forty eight hours after a

565
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: concert on Friday? And I can't imagine it'd make us

566
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: go road road back to back.

567
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's tough. Let me tell you that that is

568
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 7: very difficult. I do you remember the time though this

569
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 7: is a this is a long time ago. I forget

570
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 7: the name of the group.

571
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 6: But the Indians, God.

572
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 7: Bless the Indians, they were they were looking to put

573
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 7: fannies in the seats at that old stadium no matter

574
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 7: what they could. Their truck tolls whatever, you know, try

575
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 7: bid for the Little League World Series whatever, bring it

576
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 7: in here or come on, let's get the people in here.

577
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 7: But one time they had a concert in you know,

578
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 7: the month of September. Not that it mattered, believe me,

579
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 7: in the in the penetres. Okay, at that time, they

580
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 7: were they were well out of it. They were they

581
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 7: had been eliminated. But and it rained the night of

582
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 7: the concert. And when it did, it just destroyed that field.

583
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 6: So and and it and you know it.

584
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 7: Then it kind of really leaked over to the brown

585
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 7: season because they were sharing this stadium at that point

586
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 7: in time. And and I know the Browns were always

587
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 7: playing on green painted dirt by November in that stadium,

588
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 7: but they were playing in green painted mud in September,

589
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 7: and you have to watch out for that. So I

590
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 7: don't think you could, bo. I don't know if you

591
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 7: could flip.

592
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 6: That stadium like that, I'm with you.

593
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: I think it would be.

594
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 7: And they do a great job.

595
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 6: That ground crew down there does an amazing job down there.

596
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 7: That is a beautiful field.

597
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 6: It is.

598
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's per scene every single time. But it's

599
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: to me, it just seems like that would be silly

600
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 2: to try and pull that off. We did have the

601
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: calves advance yesterday do a little hoops to take on

602
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 2: the team of your youth, the Boston Celtics, best team

603
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: in the NBA during the regular season. You've been around

604
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: here a long time. How important was that yesterday for

605
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell?

606
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 6: Very very big, very very big for him.

607
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 7: And really he had had kind of two non Donovan

608
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 7: Mitchell games in Games three and four down in Orlando

609
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 7: where he just wasn't with it, and you were worried

610
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 7: about that knee that's been barking.

611
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 6: At him all season long.

612
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 7: But to come out then in game in game fivey

613
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 7: played well. In Game six he had fifty, and then

614
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 7: he did what he did yesterday when they were down

615
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 7: by eighteen points. I mean, that's what it's gonna take

616
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 7: to pull them through bo. When I was a kid

617
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 7: growing up in Boston, and you would look at the

618
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 7: school calendar every year, you would say, oh, okay, there's

619
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 7: you know, Thanksgiving, Christmas good. We have a week and

620
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 7: a half at Christmas, we go back after New Year's

621
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 7: there's an April vacation, and then of course there's the

622
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 7: day off in June after the Celtics were in the

623
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 7: championship and you go to the parade and believe me,

624
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 7: it was annual at that time. Yeah, I mean, I

625
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 7: am a product of red our back lighting up the cigar.

626
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 7: That's how old I am. And it was every year

627
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 7: they would win it. Nine like nine out of eleven

628
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 7: years they won the title. But this is a tough

629
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 7: assignment for the Cats. But I will say this because

630
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 7: I follow the Celtics a great deal because of Blood Lives.

631
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 7: They are so good and in fact they're great, and

632
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 7: they are such an offensive machine. But sometimes the Celtics

633
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 7: really let you back in a game and let you

634
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 7: back in a series because they go into kind of

635
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 7: a funk and they think they can shoot their way

636
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 7: out of it at any time. And it's happened to them,

637
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 7: and it's burnt them. It burnt them against Miami last year,

638
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 7: burnt them against Golden State a couple of years ago.

639
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 6: In the final.

640
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 7: And they tend to give away a game at home

641
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 7: a lot of times, and then they get very difficult

642
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 7: on themselves because then they have to go on the road.

643
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 7: Now they have the talent, believe me, to win anywhere.

644
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 7: But sometimes I'm telling you, watch out, whether it's coming

645
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 7: up tomorrow night or Thursday night in Boston, that the Celvics,

646
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 7: even as well rested as they are, could come out

647
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 7: and just be throwing the ball everywhere and everybody's shooting

648
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 7: threes and the next thing you know, you know, the

649
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 7: Cavs could be sitting there in a very good position.

650
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 7: And it even happened in their opening series against Miami

651
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 7: minus Jimmy. But they lost that game too in Boston

652
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 7: and put a lot of pressure on themselves.

653
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: All right, I know Saturday night you were locked in

654
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: to Bruins and Leafs. I mean, oh my god, so

655
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: I watched all of that. I am a leaf sympathizer

656
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: from the standpoint of, my god, they haven't won anything

657
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 2: since sixty seven. It would be the best analogy I

658
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 2: can do for people who don't follow the hockey would

659
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: be like it would be like the Red Sox before

660
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: they won the World Series. But if the Red Sox

661
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: were the Yankees, Like, yeah, they just and and so

662
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: they score first in the third. There's nothing better, as

663
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: you and I know that an NHL Stanley Cup Game seven,

664
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: the Leafs score first and then you guys even it up,

665
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: and then you get it in the strangest way with Pastronok,

666
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: what did you make of that? And how I'm sure

667
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: you were riveted throughout the night.

668
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 7: I was, And I have to tell you I went

669
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 7: into Game seven thinking I don't see how the Bruins

670
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 7: are going to win this, even though they're at home

671
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 7: sometimes and their history now is is on the wrong

672
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 7: side of this thing. I mean, they blew a three

673
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 7: to one lead last year against Florida, they lost Game

674
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 7: seven and the Stanley Cup Final at home a few

675
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 7: years ago to Saint Louis.

676
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 6: They've had this happen.

677
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 7: They've lost Game seven's at home to the Canadians, who

678
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 7: were an achilles heel to them through their history.

679
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 6: So I did not feel good. And the Bruins are playing.

680
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 7: Very very tight.

681
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 6: Now.

682
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 7: They're going to go into this series against Florida a

683
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 7: pretty sizable underdog, and I'm wondering if they'll play better

684
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 7: as an underdog than they do than they did as

685
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 7: a favorite in the series against Toronto. You know, not

686
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 7: that they were a huge favorite in that series, but

687
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 7: they were, you know, the better team. I think, at

688
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 7: least statistically going in that people would have said that

689
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 7: they have home I still win bo. I was in

690
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 7: Boston Garden the day Bobby or scored the goal. Mother's Day,

691
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 7: nineteen seventy. I believe it was nineteen seventy Mother's Day.

692
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 7: My mother was at home, my dad and I.

693
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 6: Mother's Day. That's amazing, But I think it was one

694
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 6: of the greatest moments that I've ever been at. It

695
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 6: was unbelievable.

696
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 7: I don't think I went to I was going into

697
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 7: eighth grade. I was in eighth grade, and I don't

698
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 7: think I went to school for a week, and I

699
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 7: don't think anybody else did.

700
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: Back in Boston at that side, nobody minded interesting. No, No,

701
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: that interesting spot for that city because Jack Edwards and

702
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: Mike Gorman both hanging them up. Oh, I know, yeah,

703
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 2: which is rare. I mean Edwards has been on it

704
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: for a long time. Gorman's been on it for a

705
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: long time.

706
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: Certainly not forty years, forty three years from years, yeah, yeah,

707
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 3: Mike Gorman forty three years.

708
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 7: I think Jack was maybe nineteen twenty years. Uh. There

709
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 7: was a point where Jack was just doing the road games,

710
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 7: and then he took over at both Home and Away Boy.

711
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 7: He left under tough circumstances. He came down with a

712
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 7: mysterious situation where his speech got very slowed, and you know,

713
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 7: hockey being a very fast sport, it was not a

714
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 7: good mix. And they rode with it for a while,

715
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 7: but it became very, very noticeable, especially this year. He

716
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 7: did an article in the Boston Globe near the end

717
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 7: of the season saying that he had been checked out

718
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 7: at Mass General. There was no cancer. You know, he

719
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 7: did not take a stroke. And they're still kind of

720
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 7: searching for the answers, but it came to the point

721
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 7: where you know, that's you know, he's he's from New Hampshire.

722
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 7: That's that's the job of a lifetime for a guy

723
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 7: like that.

724
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: And I would think from a play by play perspective,

725
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: hockey would is the most labor intensive and probably the

726
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: biggest challenge, right, Jim.

727
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, it really is.

728
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 7: In fact, you know who who said that? A couple

729
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 7: of weeks ago, al Michael said that. Al Michael said,

730
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 7: I think it was Dan Patrick Aston. What's the toughest

731
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 7: play by play sport? And he said, oh, by far,

732
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 7: not even close hockey. And of course he had done

733
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 7: a little hockey and he did the hockey game, the

734
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 7: Miracle on Ice. You're right, I mean it's very quick.

735
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 7: You have to be fast paced, whether it's radio or TV.

736
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 7: Jack doing TV on Nessen and it was a very

737
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 7: sad ending for him. You know, give him a lot

738
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 7: of credit for the way he went out.

739
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: I'll get you out of here on this one. Have

740
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 2: you seen any of the Brady Roast stuff from Netflix

741
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: from yesterday?

742
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 9: No?

743
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 6: I was.

744
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 7: I have to tell you, I was driving someplace this

745
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 7: morning and I was listening to an Inside the NBA

746
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 7: show with Brian Scalabrini and uh and uh, and they

747
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 7: were saying to somebody, Hey, don't allow the kids to

748
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 7: know to watch the Brady Roads. It was really something. No,

749
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 7: I haven't seen it.

750
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 6: I have to view it.

751
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: Well, it is a it's a Patriots reunion and it's

752
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: it was just stunning, like the fact when you sign

753
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: up for something like that, what you're signing up for, right?

754
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 7: Yeah?

755
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 2: So cause you got to just sit there and smile

756
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 2: as people eviscerate you. It's tough.

757
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 7: I used to always enjoy that, remember, like the Dean

758
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 7: Martin ROAs.

759
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, used to be.

760
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 7: I have to tell you. I even go back and

761
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 7: watch some of those when they're on YouTube, and they're

762
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 7: on YouTube if you want to look at I mean

763
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 7: and those were those were classic classic comics, professional guys

764
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 7: at the highest level, taking whoever the roast he was

765

Speaker 7: taking them apart.

Speaker 2: night only. And I mean, again, that's not scores. I

785
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: just feel like, would the NFL really make you go

786
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 2: on the road back to back? And I'm only basing

787
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: that on the idea of could you really have the

788
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 2: stadium ready for Sunday after a Friday night concert. I

789
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: know they're so capable down there, but yeah, that's a

790
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: tight turn to be able to do that, which would

791
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: lead me to believe that you'd have a home opener.

792
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh absolutely, Yeah, you would absolutely think that that's

793
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 3: going to be coming up for sure.

794
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like that would be the case. I'm

795
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 2: gonna be honest with you. I don't think i'd have

796
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: the stomach to do what Brady did over the weekend,

797
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 2: really Netflix with no to sit there and smile as

798
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: people eviscerate you, knowing that there's half truths in all

799
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: of it. That's I don't know if I've got the

800
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 2: stomach for that's tough.

801
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 10: Go.

802
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: Now, what I don't understand is how this came about

803
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: or my hunches, Brady went to them or his representation

804
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 2: went to them about doing it. I'm curious how that

805
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: how it got going, why he would decide to do it,

806
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 2: and what the end game for him would be. The

807
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: only thing I could think of Nick was if this

808
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: as he's going into broadcasting in Fox and everything next year,

809
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: if this is an attempt to like humanize.

810
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what I think it was. And now

811
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if he went out of his own

812
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 3: way to do this. This is obviously ROAs have sort

813
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: of fallen off, you know, over the last handful of years. Uh,

814
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 3: you know, and you can count you know, it's as

815
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 3: a PC culture whatever you want to, you know, call

816
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 3: it now, but you know, they definitely fell off because

817
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 3: I remember growing up watching these roasts on Comedy Central. Yes,

818
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 3: and I mean for the early portion of the two thousands,

819
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 3: and then obviously rosas has been around forever, but I

820
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: mean they've really fallen off. I think that Netflix, because

821
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 3: this was a Netflix special, a live event. I think

822
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 3: Netflix was you know, just throwing it out there and see,

823
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 3: you know, what's the biggest fish that they could get.

824
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 4: And the fact of the matter, they got you know,

825
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 4: the goat to do this. I thought it was unbelievable.

826
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 9: It was, it was.

827
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 2: And remember that the reason you can't be on Comedy

828
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 2: Central anymore is because Netflix has all the comedians, right exactly.

829
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 2: They all do specials there, so there's it almost has

830
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: to be there. It's kind of the only place that

831
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: they could do it. All Right, this was very good.

832
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: This was biting a lot going on, So let's let's

833
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: go through some of these. Nick, Let's uh, what are

834
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 2: some of the ones you have here?

835
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so over here, Kevin Hart was the roast master

836
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 3: for for this entire event, so you know, he was

837
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 3: setting up everybody and and basically got it started. This

838
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 3: is how it got started. And again got a couple

839
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: of cuts here. We're gonna start off with Kevin Hart.

840
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 7: By the way, single life is what you deserved because

841
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 7: you had no choice.

842
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 4: Jazelle gave you an ultimatum, said you.

843
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 6: Retire or we're done.

844
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 4: That She said to you, Tom, you retire or we're done.

845
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 4: Let me tell you something.

846
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 5: Well, you got a chance to go eight and nine,

847
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 5: and all it will calls you is your wife and

848
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 5: your kids.

849
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: You gotta do what you gotta do. Do you understand me.

850
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 4: So that's great, It's so good. That's great.

851
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 3: And obviously, nothing you know was off limits last night.

852
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 3: This is actually coming from Drew Bledsoe, you know, the

853
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 3: guy that Tom took over for.

854
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 5: Buddy.

855
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 6: You know you have more rings than I do.

856
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 11: But I've experienced a couple of things that you will

857
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 11: never experience. You know, the feeling of being the number

858
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 11: one overall draft pick in the NFL and a twenty

859
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 11: eighth wedding anniversary.

860
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 2: It was yesterday, Go right at the see that's what

861
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: I mean, Like it's the mother of his children.

862
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it got so much worse. Absolutely, yeah,

863
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 3: there's no doubt about that. But this is actually and obviously,

864
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: in a roast, you know, you're not just roasting the

865
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 3: person there, but you're roasting the entire place.

866
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 4: Essentially.

867
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 3: Julian Edelman gets on stage and we all know he

868
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 3: loves to do his Bill Belichick impression.

869
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 4: This is what he had, you know for Bill last night.

870
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 12: You remember when you yelling us, look, kids down at

871
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 12: Foxborough High can make that play.

872
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 2: I've been waiting for this for so long.

873
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 7: Look, Foxborough High is the only job offer you've had.

874
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 5: Do your job more like need a job coach.

875
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, oh yeah, everyone was getting in on

876
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 4: its body bag.

877
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 2: Now you have to assume, I think I would be

878
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 2: correct to assume that all of these are comedically written

879
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 2: by comedians and then probably shaped by these guys, or

880
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: you would think, you know what I mean, like, there's

881
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: no way they're writing all that.

882
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 3: Now, Gronk did say, and we do not have the

883
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 3: cut for this one, but Gronk said that he wrote

884
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 3: his own joke and it was about Tom Brady going

885
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: down to Tampa Bay and doing stuff to Bill. It

886
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 3: was a whole thing, and he'd said that he had

887
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 3: wrote it. And if you if you hear what he says,

888
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 3: it sounds exactly like a Gronk joke, you know. So,

889
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 3: like I do think the majority of it was probably

890
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: written by comedians, but there's probably some ab libit, you know,

891
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 3: ad lib in there as well.

892
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that one from Edelman seems like that was

893
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 2: that feels like him he's doing the impression. He knows

894
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 2: he can do the impression. No comedian would would would

895
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 2: have that information. All right, that's very good. But you see, though,

896
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 2: folks like what I mean it was it was pointed

897
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 2: and I don't you don't have the one with Edelman

898
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: where he talked where he does the joke about Aaron

899
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: Dernandez do.

900
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 6: You I do not know?

901
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 5: Okay, so not do that one.

902
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: That's smart of you, not too. I was like that

903
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: was and there were several there were in Hernandez references.

904
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 4: Yes, there were.

905
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a lot of them, you know, in there,

906
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 3: and I mean, obviously all of it is very cringe,

907
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 3: but yeah, you know, very you know, they had some really.

908
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 4: Funny moments in there too.

909
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, what do you have a couple more?

910
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 4: Yeah?

911
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 3: So I got three more here for us. Let's do

912
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick, you know, talking to a gronk a.

913
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 10: Lot of people, you know, kind of connecting me with

914
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 10: a saying called, you know, do your job and telling

915
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 10: people to do their job. And Gon, gronk, I've been

916
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 10: watching on Fox NFL Sunday and I'm begging you please

917
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 10: stop doing your job.

918
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 4: So that's a pretty good one.

919
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 3: And then I got two from Tom Brady, obviously the

920
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 3: person that this roast was dedicated for.

921
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: Before we get to that, one of the really interesting,

922
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 2: two really interesting things happened. So there's a lot going

923
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: on behind the scenes here. Obviously between Belichick, Craft and

924
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 2: Brady and you know kind of that whole triumput. This

925
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 2: kind of brought them all back into this. It absolutely

926
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 2: brought them all back into the same room.

927
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 7: Uh.

928
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 2: There was a joke from Jeff Ross about the messeuse

929
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: yes with with Bob Kraft, and Brady went up and said,

930
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: that's the last I mean in color more colorful language.

931
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 2: That's the end of that.

932
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't bleep and do this anymore right, correct, And

933
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 4: like it was.

934
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 2: Very pointed and very serious, like not doing it was

935
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 2: picked up by the mic, and I thought that was

936
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 2: kind of the only thing that Brady misstepped on was

937
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 2: was that because like Bob Craft signed up for it,

938
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 2: he knew he knows what he's signing up for and

939
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 2: that all of that stuff is going to be part

940
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: of it. And I think you make you brought more

941
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 2: attention to it doing that, whereas if you don't, it

942
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: comes and goes and it's it. It's Jeff Ross like

943
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: that's what he does. The other thing that I thought

944
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 2: was really cool about this from the Belichick perspective is

945
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 2: like Belichick and Craft sharing a shot. He was crazy

946
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 2: moment that that happened there all right, here's Brady.

947
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, this is a Brady talking to I believe

948
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 4: this was Kim Kardashian.

949
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 13: Kim Kardashian, thank you so much for being here. I

950
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 13: know Kim was terrified to be here tonight, not because

951
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 13: of this, but because her kids are home with their dad.

952
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 4: He's right, yeah, I mean, right, yeah, exactly.

953
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 2: See that's the problem though, Nick, don't you see there's

954
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: always a kernel of truth. Oh yeah in all of

955
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 2: the jokes are sometimes more than a kernel of truth

956
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 2: in all of the jokes. I wonder why she was

957
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: there this whole thing.

958
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 3: So it's funny we were talking about this, you know,

959
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 3: in the middle of the break and it. I think

960
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 3: what happened was when him and Giselle broke up, there

961
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 3: were links to him dating Kim ka uh oh really there.

962
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 3: It was very subtle and it was very brief. But

963
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 3: then it and she even goes into it saying, you know,

964
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 3: I don't think it ever would have worked out between us, Tom,

965
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 3: because you look too much like my stepdad.

966
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 4: Which, if you know what is going on, it's yeah,

967
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 4: it was brutal.

968
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 3: So I do have a great joke though, fantastic. I mean,

969
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 3: the room stood up for that one. Yeah, I have

970
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 3: one last one. This is Tom Brady taking the shots

971
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 3: at the Chiefs fans Kansas City.

972
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 6: You say your stadium is the loudest.

973
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 12: It helps when all your fans are fourteen year old girls.

974
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 12: And in honor of Tata, let's take a look at

975
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 12: the Chiefs. Eras terrible for fifty years, good for five,

976
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 12: shake it off?

977
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 4: Pretty good. It was pretty well done by Tom.

978
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 2: I think his only misstep was the craft Thouos interference.

979
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: I think that was the only thing. I think everything

980
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 2: else he crushed be interesting to see if more people

981
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 2: go down this road. I think like when he was

982
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: saying that, you know Kim was nervous to be there, Yeah,

983
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: I mean she's ripe for this. Oh absolutely, from that

984
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 2: type from ridicule. I mean, anybody would be like the

985
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 2: next guy, like, there's no way in hell Tiger to

986
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 2: ever do anything like this, or expose him to Lebron.

987
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 2: I don't think Lebron would, There's no way, But I

988
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 2: didn't think Brady would. I mean, I'm surprised Brady did.

989
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 2: This feels like more like something the Mannings would do,

990
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 2: Like Peyton Manning would allow himself to be roasted I.

991
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 3: Think Peyton could take the joke. Eli absolutely could. I

992
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 3: was surprised by Tom.

993
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 6: I too.

994
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 3: I'm happy and thankful that, you know, he his only

995
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 3: misstep was that Bob Kraft joke. Outside of that, I

996
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 3: thought Tom actually handled himself really well, and like you said,

997
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 3: you know, it humanized him, and I honestly feel better

998
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 3: about him going, you know, into the booth now knowing

999
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 3: that he does have this sort of you know, sense

1000
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 3: of humility and just funniness to him.

1001
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 2: The other thing you have to remember, and so he

1002
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 2: did like a podcast with a guy who cuts hair

1003
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: while he does a podcast a.

1004
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 4: Couple of weeks ago.

1005
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 2: He did this, He'll play in any of those celebrity

1006
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 2: golf events that you want. Folks, you have to remember

1007
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 2: this about professional athletes. For thirty years, Tom Brady prepared

1008
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 2: to be an NFL quarterback. So what does that mean.

1009
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 2: It means everything that happens during the year. But remember

1010
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 2: in his later years that meant like about a week

1011
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 2: off and then right to it with all of the

1012
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 2: mobility stuff that he did, all the stuff with the

1013
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 2: flexibility that he did, like he didn't stop. You basically

1014
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 2: got a month off and then you were going well,

1015
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: what does that do? It gives you a reason to

1016
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 2: get up in the morning. And to me, it feels

1017
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 2: like he's kind of trying to figure out what's going

1018
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 2: to be his what to do when I get up

1019
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: in the morning. Stuff. Remember divorced at this point now,

1020
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 2: so the kids are at best split between him and

1021
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 2: his ex wife, and so on a daily basis, what's

1022
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 2: your why you have to find things to get up

1023
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 2: for in the morning. And it feels to me like

1024
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 2: he's trying to find those things at least until he

1025
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 2: gets into next football season and then he can put

1026
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 2: that attention into Fox. And you have a place that

1027
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 2: you have to be for thirty years, and all of

1028
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 2: a sudden you don't. There's something hollow there. Yeah, And

1029
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 2: so we see it with all these guys, like what

1030
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 2: do I do next? What's the next thing that's going

1031
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 2: to occupy my time? Look at our guy Hoff. I mean,

1032
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 2: how many ventures does the hoff have going at the moment?

1033
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 2: I mean he's done everything title.

1034
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 4: In Spain and Germany.

1035
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 7: And since he's in.

1036
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 2: Germany now coaching semi pro football, he's he's doing the Uh,

1037
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 2: he's got the beef ranch in Wisconsin, he's got Mission Barbecue.

1038
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 2: He's got one hundred things because forever his one thing

1039
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 2: was football, and it was all encompassing. And then when

1040
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 2: it goes away, you got to figure out what am

1041
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 2: I gonna do with my life? And that's the thing

1042
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 2: you got to figure out. And my hunch is Brady's

1043
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 2: figuring that out just like everybody else. All Right, Coming up,

1066
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 9: a little smile out of you. How does that feel?

1067
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 9: By the ways you sit back and reflect? And now

1068
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 9: you are one of those who can say, yeah, I

1069
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 9: went to the Pro Bowl in the National Football League.

1070
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,279

Speaker 5: for the opportunity, We give thanks for the recognition right

1072
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 5: on such a large scale. You know, I wish I

1073
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 5: would have went, you know, from the first get go.

1074
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 5: But obviously there's those work to be done, you know,

1075
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 5: there's work to be done still and we give thanks

1076
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 5: though for the time being. Absolutely yes, and.

1077
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 9: He made it even though you were classified as an

1078
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 9: outside linebacker, so the edges, but he made it anyway,

1079
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 9: which is even more impressive.

1080
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, give thanks. You know, I think that you know,

1081
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 5: it speaks more of the time and the grace of

1082
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 5: God for really allowing that position to be the way

1083
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 5: it was. Yeah, so you know, oh, like you know,

1084
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 5: apparently you know this happened, and then okay, this opened up, right,

1085
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 5: So a lot of things play in the right the

1086
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 5: right way, you know, I feel like when you live

1087
00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 5: in the right way, So.

1088
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 9: You certainly were. I'm gonna throw some numbers at you.

1089
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 9: Two interceptions career high last year, six passes defensed career

1090
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 9: high last year, three and a half sex career high

1091
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 9: last year, one hundred and one tackles career high last year.

1092
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 9: And then here's the big one to me, twenty tackles

1093
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 9: for loss a career. How you did something that only

1094
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 9: Luke Keigley and I think Levante David have done in

1095
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 9: the last fifteen years, which is one hundred tackles twenty

1096
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 9: tackles for loss as an off ball linebacker.

1097
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 5: I'm honest, I think you're missing a few TFLs. But

1098
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 5: you know, I give thanks.

1099
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 9: Tell them what's that I add you like twenty four myself?

1100
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, man, I think I'll give credit to the teammates,

1101
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 5: you know, I'll give thanks to you know, the coaches,

1102
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 5: even down to the you know, the volunteers, down to

1103
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 5: the custodians, right, like all of it plays a part

1104
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 5: in the result in which everyone sees. Yeah, but it's

1105
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 5: everybody in the background that really is the one that

1106
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 5: builds you up to get to that point. You know,

1107
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 5: God has taken a towel after the shower, you know,

1108
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 5: the guys that right, like the little things. Is that

1109
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 5: which really that canvas?

1110
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 6: You know?

1111
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 5: Beautiful piece?

1112
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 9: You know, yeah, well it certainly was a beautiful piece.

1113
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 9: And when did it really click? Because if you go

1114
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 9: back and you look at your snap counts first half

1115
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 9: of the season, you weren't out there every play, and

1116
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 9: then all of a sudden it was like I remember

1117
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 9: Jim Schwartz when did a press conference, He's like, Jeremi

1118
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 9: is the guy we need on the field all the time.

1119
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 9: And there was that you played every snap and dominated

1120
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 9: it throughout even in the playoffs. You were a force

1121
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 9: in that playoff game. What kind of clicked at that

1122
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 9: point for you?

1123
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's really about you know, experiences, you know,

1124
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 5: times seasons, and I think for me, like in that

1125
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 5: progression and going through the season, you know, I'm like, hey,

1126
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 5: like this is my third year. You know, I'm experiencing

1127
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 5: a game at a different perspective, you know, slowing down

1128
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 5: a bit more, and you're just doing little things that

1129
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 5: are progressing your game, right, But the natural course of

1130
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 5: life is obviously for you to go up and sometimes

1131
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 5: you know, peaked down a little bit, right. So I

1132
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 5: think that that earlier part of the season was was

1133
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 5: a part where I was kind of still you know,

1134
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 5: getting as familiar as I should be at the third year,

1135
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 5: and in the middle of the season somewhere it really

1136
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 5: just started to cleary, you know, started to tap into,

1137
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 5: you know, a different part of the game. And I

1138
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 5: attribute that to you know, coach Tarv attribute that to

1139
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 5: Coach Swartz and that linebacker court that really put their

1140
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 5: hands around me and said, okay, look, let's you know,

1141
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 5: find a way to make the best of these ops.

1142
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 5: And that's what I think that everybody really saw was

1143
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 5: a product of a defense that that really is is

1144
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 5: close together team, right.

1145
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, you guys are close together. I mean, everybody wanted

1146
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 9: to come back. You think about all the guys in

1147
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 9: front of you, they all wanted to come back.

1148
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 5: Now in your room.

1149
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 9: Obviously, some guys got some great opportunities. There's a little

1150
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 9: bit of change there in a new addition. We'll talk

1151
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 9: about a second, but all of them talk about, you know,

1152
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 9: from Rodney McLeod on the back end, wanting to come back,

1153
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 9: Saidarius Shelby Mowhurst, all wanting to come back and be

1154
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 9: you know, run this thing back.

1155
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 2: What can we do here?

1156
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 9: How can we be special? They all say this is

1157
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 9: the most special locker room they've been in. It's your

1158
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 9: third year. Obviously there was something that happened last year.

1159
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 9: What what what made it so great?

1160
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 5: You know, like it's those small conversations in the locker room,

1161
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,720
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like those are the moments.

1162
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 5: Coach Schwartz said something to us today in the defensive meeting.

1163
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 5: He said, well, you know, in this first phase, try

1164
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 5: to hang out, try to hang out a little bit

1165
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 5: more in the facility, right, don't try to leave out.

1166
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 5: Don't be the first one to leave out. Let's let's

1167
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 5: try to you know, hang back and get to build

1168
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 5: our relationships because you know, the closer that guys are mentally,

1169
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 5: the more that they'll go to war for each other physically.

1170
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 5: And I think in that span of understanding that core principle.

1171
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 5: You know, guys you know have those little small, you know,

1172
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 5: debates in the locker room. You know, we rough up

1173
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 5: sometimes in the locker room, play different games, and you know,

1174
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 5: these are the things that team curmistry really thrives on

1175
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 5: and hangs on. Is is the spirit of the team,

1176
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 5: the spirit of the man and the individual that is

1177
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 5: a part of the unit. And that's what I think

1178
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 5: we are starting to become more and more familiar and

1179
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 5: masters of is just understanding that it's the culture that

1180
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 5: makes us thrive, right, and that's what we're building. That's

1181
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 5: what we're building.

1182
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 2: Alright.

1183
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 9: You mentioned the games. I don't know what you call it,

1184
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,439
Speaker 9: but how you knock out? Are you still the best?

1185
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1186
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 5: You know, I mean you can ask people. You know,

1187
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 5: I can't speak highly of myself.

1188
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 9: None of that's the reputation you get, Like you know,

1189
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 9: they know what the deal is.

1190
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 5: You know, I got the footage. You know, I got

1191
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 5: the Cleveland Brown.

1192
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 9: Who would you say, though, would be your biggest competition?

1193
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 9: Like who do you know you have to be on

1194
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 9: your game if you're going to come out on top.

1195
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 5: You know, you really just don't know, right, Like I'm

1196
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 5: not a guy that I'm sitting at the top, and

1197
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm not playing nobody else under me. Like

1198
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 5: I'm a guy that's like a beginner. Like you know,

1199
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 5: I go play Coach Tarbor, you know, like and you

1200
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 5: know we're sitting in the in the room, we're playing

1201
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 5: the game, right, he may beat me or something like that,

1202
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 5: But that's what it is about being It's about closing

1203
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 5: the gap. You know, It's about closing the gap. So

1204
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 5: I'm like, you know, whoever wants to play out of play.

1205
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 5: You know, Miles is pretty good, Cooper's pretty good. A. J.

1206
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 5: Green is like he's like he's like the worst and

1207
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 5: he's like sometimes the most challenging, but he's like the

1208
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 5: worst at the same So, like, because he plays so

1209
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 5: many games, he'll play anybody as well. Like he's like

1210
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 5: he plays he got a lot of has a lot

1211
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 5: of reps, so he'll just play anybody right constantly all day.

1212
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 5: So I think that he's also got it. You know,

1213
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 5: it can be you know, tricky too, because he'll he'll

1214
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 5: pick up some stuff that he played another guy with.

1215
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 9: Anyway, some people do things probably that are an orthodox

1216
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 9: or and you get into a rhythm. Makes it tough.

1217
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 5: All right?

1218
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,080

1226

1233
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 5: have you know Tony Fields that's probably played the most

1234
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 5: special team snaps yep for the Cleveland Browns. You have

1235

Speaker 5: So like, we have a very like complex but also

1238
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 5: complimentary room where you know, you have guys that fitting

1239
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 5: rolls very very well. And I think that that's ultimately

1240
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,240
Speaker 5: what makes a great team is those who really understand

1241
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 5: their roles and where they fit in at and we

1242
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 5: do that a good job in our room, I think. Yeah,

1243
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 5: Coach Tarboro, being the leader, has been you know, very

1244
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 5: great at understanding each skill set and the personnel of

1245
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 5: you know, each linebacker. And you'll see, I think we

1246
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 5: will be again as we always see, We're going to

1247
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 5: be the ones that set the tone for the defense.

1248
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,439
Speaker 9: Was a wild going into this defensive room and meeting

1249
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 9: room and being like, yeah, I know basically all of you, like,

1250
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 9: you don't get that kind of continuity in the NFL

1251
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 9: very often.

1252
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Tarve actually speaks about that a lot. You know,

1253
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 5: he speaks about a lot. You know that this is

1254
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 5: a special room. Look, I've been in different you know, defenses,

1255
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 5: I've been in different schemes. I've been in different you know,

1256
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 5: in front of different individuals and linebackers. You know, you

1257
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 5: guys are special group. And while we did we did

1258
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 5: lose you know, some some key figures, you know, Adams

1259
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 5: and I'm not sure what what what Jordan Kanashik is doing.

1260
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 5: You know, ay walk, I thought to they walk this morning,

1261
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 5: Taki Taki. Right, we're losing some Q figures. But again

1262
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 5: it's it's the culture that lives on, right, you know,

1263
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 5: when things pass on, the principle still says the same.

1264
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 5: So I think that that you know, those guys they

1265
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 5: left the place better than they found it. So at

1266
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 5: that point that we have the responsibility to keep up

1267
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 5: that same principle that they drove on in the same

1268
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 5: you know guidance that they left us with. So yes,

1269
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 5: it's our duty. Now we got some young guys, you know,

1270
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 5: we we we still call ourselves young guys because you know,

1271
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 5: we feel like we.

1272
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 9: Like, you know, grow faster NFL.

1273
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, it's an interesting, you know complex in the NFL.

1274
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 5: You know, guys, you're for like kind of vents, yes,

1275
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 5: you know. So, yeah, man, it's a good place to

1276
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 5: be in.

1277
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 9: You know. Well you talk about, you know how they

1278
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 9: wanted to leave it better than maybe they found it.

1279
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 9: You want to do that not only here with football,

1280
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 9: but also with Ghana and and the world. I know

1281
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 9: you're involved in a lot of stuff. You just got

1282
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 9: back from Ghana. Just kind of tell me a little

1283
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 9: bit about your off season and some of the things

1284
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 9: you're working on there to make a difference.

1285
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this obviously it was really just centered

1286
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 5: around touching as many hearts as possible, touching as many

1287
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 5: minds as possible to make it a more sustainable process,

1288
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 5: make life more sustainable. And that's one of the principles

1289
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 5: of in Qua, whether it's through the teaching of football,

1290
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 5: you know, it's the giving back of food and substance,

1291
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 5: the teaching of a different ideology and the way to

1292
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 5: view life. It's all about sustainability. And I think that

1293
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 5: that's really what the aim is. We're still not done yet, right.

1294
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 5: We have we have a Saint Lucia trip coming up.

1295
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 5: We have a you know, in touch with the Prime

1296
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 5: Minister down there, and we have a big cant that

1297
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 5: we're going to do in program we're gonna down there.

1298
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 5: Also we're going to be in the UK, so we

1299
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 5: got two more you know, big big deals going on,

1300
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 5: and just trying to formulate a web, you know, a

1301
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 5: web to where say the children in gan or that

1302
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 5: that that did a great job can come up with

1303
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 5: a Saint Lucia next year, or the children in Saint

1304
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:58,959
Speaker 5: Lucia did a good job of coming up of Ghana

1305
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 5: or the UK or even Senegal, you know, just places

1306
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 5: that we can give you youth more experiences.

1307
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 9: Right, what's it like when you go back there knowing

1308
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 9: what you've accomplished and then what you're bringing there, Like

1309
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 9: when you see the kids, what's kind of their reaction

1310
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 9: to you? And is it does it kind of blow

1311
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 9: your mind a little bit?

1312
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a humbo feeling, you know, it's a humbo

1313
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 5: feeling for me and just in my you know, thoughts

1314
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 5: behind life is just like understanding that like these these

1315
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 5: are our youths that take grave responsibility, response iability, my

1316
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 5: ability to respond on opportunities and it's like any opportunity

1317
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 5: to get Okay, I gotta learn this boom. I'm intentive

1318
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 5: and I apply it fast. Boom. You know, I have

1319
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 5: an opportunity to learn about this particular herb or this

1320
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 5: particular food or this particular you know pattern in football,

1321
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 5: they apply it quickly and they processing and like, look,

1322
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 5: I have to take this opportunity not for granted, but

1323
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 5: to take it as a substance that is very very

1324
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 5: key to my to my well being you know, I

1325
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 5: think that that just is the biggest thing for me,

1326
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 5: just just watching everywhere we go, anywhere we go, just

1327
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 5: like seeing how how serious people take opportunities. We kind

1328
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 5: of can forget it a little bit sure here in

1329
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 5: the States because it's everywhere, you know, it's like opportunity here,

1330
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 5: opportunity There thousands of jobs in New York, thousands of

1331
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 5: jobs in Cleveland, right, like, so much that we can

1332
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 5: partake in. But even just you know, reaching out in

1333
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 5: the world, and I think that's something that's the next step,

1334
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 5: right it's getting more people from Cleveland, more people from

1335
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 5: you know, my hometown in Virginia to come travel over

1336
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 5: to Ghana or come travel to Saint Lucial or even

1337
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 5: the UK and some parts. Right they have the knife,

1338
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 5: you know, violence that's going on in the UK, gun

1339
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 5: violence and Saint Lucia. The economy and Ghana is kind

1340
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 5: of you know, they say it's the most expensive place

1341
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 5: in the world right now, just by how people's salary

1342
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 5: are and how much things cost. So the ratio is

1343
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 5: out of whack. Yeah, So it's not the economy itself

1344
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 5: is bad, but that ratio makes it a little bit

1345
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 5: you know, hectic for some people. So I mean that's

1346
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:56,439
Speaker 5: really the key, right, The key is just to reach

1347
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 5: back and find ways that you could be an impact sustainably.

1348
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 5: And it has a lot to do with Cleveland Browns football.

1349
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 5: I had a lot to do with me bringing that

1350
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 5: idea and bringing that idea into the realm in which

1351
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 5: I play as an NFL player. How can we make

1352
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 5: this team, how can we make our linebacker unit as

1353
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 5: sustainable as possible with the culture that we're looking to build,

1354
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 5: So it's all inclusive, man like everything that we do,

1355
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 5: even from a nonprofit, from the weight room, from the

1356
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 5: uh you know, talking to the security guards, trying to

1357
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 5: get a new jacket. You know, I'd be liking to

1358
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 5: Good Fit.

1359
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 9: They have the best gear.

1360
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 5: I've been trying to what's new in the market.

1361
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 9: You know, we went to u c l A there

1362
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 9: and the u c l A. I mean, like, come on, crazy, yeah,

1363
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 9: but they got good. Well listen, if you got a pipeline,

1364
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 9: you know, look, I got a little Let me know,

1365
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,800

1367
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 9: NFL this year, and you went forward every single week

1368
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 9: honoring your heritage and Kanda, what was what was the

1369
01:02:58,320 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 9: response when you went back there, and they're like.

1370
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, so, I mean we actually had like a networking

1371
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 5: event when I went back, so like all the businesses

1372
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 5: that you know had a high interest in just working

1373
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 5: with the nonprofit, working with I, working with you know,

1374
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 5: some of the teammates as well. So we had a

1375
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 5: big networking event. Some of the players can talk to

1376
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,360

1379
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 5: it was amazing. Yeah, it was amazing. But they received

1380
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 5: it well. Because anytime you wear a piece of clothes, right,

1381
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 5: you may represent a company, you may represent a brand,

1382
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 5: a name, Ralph Lauren and stuff like that. But when

1383
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 5: you wear those clothes, you represent the entire people, like

1384
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 5: you represent an entire nations. So it's a lot that

1385
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 5: goes with it, you know, whether it's the Super Bowl

1386
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 5: commercial where you know, I'm just looking down and with

1387
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 5: the kintail on right, like, not only are you representing

1388
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 5: the people, but you're representing a time span of thousands

1389
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 5: and thousands of years. So it's not just like a garment.

1390
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 5: I guess so much behind you know, the symbols meaning

1391
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 5: the mythology that goes behind each pattern, Like it's so

1392
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 5: much more to it. And you realize that, you know,

1393
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 5: stepping it back into gone and they're like, you.

1394
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 6: Know, we mess with you.

1395
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, we thank you. I mean, that's it, pop upa right,

1396
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 5: and and we thank you for putting us in such

1397
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 5: an area or arena that people can search right people.

1398
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 5: When searching comes, you know, expiration comes, and then infrastructure comes, hopefully.

1399
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 6: Hopefully that will.

1400
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 9: It's incredible.

1401
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 6: Man.

1402
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 9: You know, I don't know if you remember this, but

1403
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 9: I remember it. When we drafted you in the second

1404
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 9: round few years ago. You talked to me and Joe

1405
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 9: Thomas right after you got drafted and you are so

1406
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 9: fired up, and I remember you said something about the

1407
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 9: three pillars, like you had the whole smart to account

1408
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 9: that all you had that down on it, knows what's

1409
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 9: up on it. But when you think about your evolution,

1410
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 9: I would say to the people that I've gotten to

1411
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 9: know pretty well on this football team that I've seen

1412
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 9: really kind of transform and blossom as men in their time,

1413
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 9: here would be you in chief. Yeah, I mean we

1414
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 9: drafted him he was twenty when we drafted him, and

1415
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 9: to see who he is become as awesome. For you, though,

1416
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 9: I've seen such a such growth, such wisdom. What's the

1417
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 9: biggest thing for you that you think is kind of

1418
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 9: different as you've grown and matured and become this leader

1419
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 9: and somebody who really is representing a country of people

1420
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 9: and doing so quite frankly with greater plom you know,

1421
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 9: what do you think kind of and what do you

1422
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 9: attribute it to?

1423
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 5: You know, I attributed to, you know, the Divine truly,

1424
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 5: I attributed to those quiet moments early in the morning,

1425
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 5: four am, where it's just me and my Lord, right,

1426
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 5: like it's just me and you know, my mind in

1427
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 5: God that is within me speaking with me. Yep, you know,

1428
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 5: those those are truly like people talk about like God

1429
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,919
Speaker 5: and faith and all everything, but like when you truly

1430
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 5: have those moments where it's just dark, it's just you,

1431
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 5: and like you feel that that you know that that

1432
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 5: that energy that Okay, this is a time period where

1433
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 5: I have to take you know, not for granted whatsoever

1434
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 5: anything every moment right, because I think that that's truly

1435
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 5: what you know, you know, I'm Muslim for Christians right

1436
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 5: to be christ like right means to like what will

1437
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 5: Christ's eat? What will Christ do? What will Christ say?

1438
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 14: What you know?

1439
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 5: Right? Like? These are like the things that how can

1440
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 5: you live in that model?

1441
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 8: Right?

1442
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 5: And I think for me, the model in which I'm

1443
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 5: trying to follow is one who is fully submitting to

1444
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 5: the will you know right of God in any way

1445
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 5: that I can, like you know, if you know, it's

1446
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 5: just me coming to work a little bit earlier and just.

1447
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 5: And that's the transition that I'm moving in. Like, I

1448
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 5: truly haven't harnessed that yet, but I have the idea, right,

1449
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 5: I have the thoughts, I have the mindset to do that.

1450
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 5: I think the next step for me is really harnessing

1451
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 5: what it means to be a vice garant of the earth,

1452
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 5: a vice jarant of God's way of life. Right, So

1453
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 5: I think that that's my next step. But I attributed

1454
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 5: to those prayers man. I attributed to those who around

1455
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 5: me also praying for me, you know, the spirit of

1456
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 5: my es that live through me. I attributed to that man.

1457
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 5: Nothing nothing that I do, Nothing that I do is

1458
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 5: it's you know, strictly the essence of who I come,

1459
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 5: who I come from. Right, I think that's really what

1460
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 5: I attributed to man.

1461
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 9: Truly, let me tell you something. First of all, those

1462
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 9: are beautiful sentiments. I'll give you a little credit if

1463
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 9: you want, because you have to go execute it right.

1464
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 6: You may have the.

1465
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 9: Inspiration, and you may have the tradition, and you may

1466
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 9: have all those things that are lifting you and pushing

1467
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 9: you through the door, but you still got to go

1468
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 9: through the door.

1469
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta go to the door.

1470
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 9: You gotta go through the door.

1471
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 4: And you've done that.

1472
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 9: You've done that, man, great talking to you, so excited

1473
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 9: for all things you're doing, obviously with this football team,

1474
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 9: but also what you're doing in Ghana sounds incredible, given back,

1475
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 9: healing the world, all of those things. So yes, the

1476
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 9: grats man looking forward to a fun season. Were only

1477
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 9: in April, though we have plenty of time. But it's

1478
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 9: great to have you brok you.

1479
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 2: Oh, great stuff there with Zee and j Okay and

1480
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 2: you can feel it with him, the best is yet

1481
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 2: to come, truly. Everybody kind of acknowledged this year what

1482
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 2: he's capable of. But another step we do believe will

1483
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 2: be made, even a bigger one coming into next season.

1484
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we do have some NFL quarterback news.

1485
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 2: Is it possible that the reason Kirk Cousins is no

1486
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 2: longer a Minnesota Viking is also the reason why he

1487
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 2: was left aghast in terms of what happened on draft Day.

1488
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 2: We'll have that story for you coming up next. Cleveland

Speaker 2: I don't have to get them signed up for that.

1498
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 2: Did you see this? By the way, Nick the from

1499
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 2: Albert Breyer in his Monday Morning Quarterback that part of

1500
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 2: the reason that Cousins decid it a lead Minnesota was

1501
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 2: because he was informed that they were drafting a quarterback

1502
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 2: and look at the situation, No wonder he was surprised

1503
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 2: by what happened down in Atlanta.

1504
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, not fun at all.

1505
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 3: You would have to think that you'd be furious drafted

1506
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 3: as soon as you sign a four year, one hundred

1507
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 3: and eighty million dollar deal, one hundred of that being guaranteed,

1508
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 3: you're thankful for that, But I mean, you have someone

1509
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 3: looking over your shoulder already and you're not even a.

1510
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,440
Speaker 4: Month in to your stay in Atlanta.

1511
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 2: It's even worse than that because he's recovering from an achilles.

1512
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,679
Speaker 2: So it'll be Michael Pennock's throwing passes in mini camp,

1513
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 2: It'll be Penix who's fully go by the time you

1514
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 2: get to training camp, it will be Cousins. Look, I understand,

1515
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 2: I don't agree with the choice, but I understand their

1516
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 2: thinking that they loved this quarterback, and by all accounts

1517
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 2: they did. They had him number two I think on

1518
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 2: their board from the reporting I was reading last week.

1519
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 2: We had we had a guest on last week about this.

1520
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 2: But just from the standpoint of if they loved him,

1521
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 2: how many more bites at the apple are they going

1522
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 2: to get at loving a quarterback? Because they're going to

1523
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:06,799
Speaker 2: be really good for this foreseeable future, and with Cousins,

1524
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 2: they're going to be a playoff team the next couple

1525
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 2: of years.

1526
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 4: So I'm not.

1527
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't have done it. I probably had taken

1528
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 2: best defensive player on the board and rolled the dice

1529
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 2: at quarterback later, because that could maybe been the difference

1530
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 2: between being a playoff team or being a super Bowl team.

1531
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 2: But I don't think Blank wanted to go back into

1532
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 2: quarterback purgatory. He was after Ryan, where you just chase

1533
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 2: that position in the draft over and over again, hoping

1534
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 2: to find somebody. I mean, they've been through boy. They

1535
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 2: trotted out Mariota for a while, they had Desmond Ritter

1536
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 2: for a while, They've tried a bunch of different guys.

1537
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 4: Heinike.

1538
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's like he just wanted a little bit

1539
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 2: more of a permanent solution, and we'll see. We'll see

1540
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 2: indeed if if they get one with Pennix. But I

1541
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 2: certainly understand cousins frustration as well. Also seeing this out

1542
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati, Joe Burrow back in uniform, throwing down at

1543
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 2: their facility coming off of the injury there. It's interesting

1544
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 2: Burrow has played four seasons. In the ones that he

1545
01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:59,560
Speaker 2: has finished and been healthy, they have played for the

1546
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and played in the AFC Championship Game. The

1547
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,799
Speaker 2: other two he's missed the majority of the season with injury,

1548
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 2: so they gave him the money and they need him

1549
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 2: to stay healthy. The quarterback situations in this division Burrow

1550
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 2: having to get back to healthy. Can Russell Wilson slash

1551
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:21,879
Speaker 2: Justin Field's discover or rediscover something special in Pittsburgh? Obviously,

1552
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 2: Deshaun comes with his own set of questions surrounding him

1553
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 2: and his health. And then there's Lamar. So all of

1554
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 2: these teams, I think if you asked him, it's probably

1555
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 2: along with along with well, no, probably only the only

1556
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 2: division of football where if you asked all of the

1557
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 2: people in the front office of the respective teams in

1558
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 2: the division, they would all say, yeah, let's go try

1559
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 2: and win a Super Bowl. I think everybody in this

1560
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 2: division feels that way. Yeah, absolutely, I mean I don't

1561
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 2: think there's another division where that would be the case.

1562
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, one thousand percent. I mean it literally is the

1563
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 3: best division in probably all of sports.

1564
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 4: If you look at it.

1565
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 2: I mean that's interesting.

1566
01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 3: I mean they're all contending for a Super Bowl and

1567
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 3: they're all there right now. Yo, this is win now

1568
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 3: for all four squads here. So yeah, absolutely they're in

1569
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 3: the window.

1570
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,639

1603
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 8: Draft Day. It's the tenth anniversary of the movie, and

1604
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 8: I played Coach Penn, everybody's favorite character.

1605
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 14: Let me tell you something.

1606
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 9: This is as diehard a thing.

1607
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 1: I know.

1608
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:06,840
Speaker 8: I'm telling it's unbelievable because I'm from Boston them yeah, oh,

1609
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 8: I know.

1610
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1611
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 8: So, and one of my best friends in life became

1612
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 8: was Cam Neely, who was a Bruins star and you know,

1613
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 8: and ducked into the Hall of Fame, but he became

1614
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 8: the president of the team. So, like I know, how

1615
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 8: insanely passionate I am about the team. I know how

1616
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 8: insanely passionate and respectful of the fans. He is right,

1617
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 8: and I know Boston fans. Yeah, but when we did

1618
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 8: that movie, I mean, I forget the numbers, but already

1619
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:46,839
Speaker 8: the Red Sox, the Bruins, the Celtics, and multiple times

1620
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 8: for the for the Red Sox and the Patriots. We

1621
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 8: had just won a ton of championships in like fourteen

1622
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 8: years time. Yes, so you know, I always loved Cleveland.

1623
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 8: I always had a soft spot for the Browns as

1624
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 8: a sports fan. So it was really crazy talking to

1625
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,560
Speaker 8: those people, you know what I mean, Yeah, really like

1626
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:10,599
Speaker 8: I know the hunger, you know, I know how how

1627
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 8: how close they came, you know it.

1628
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 14: It was a little insane.

1629
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 9: So I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area

1630
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 9: and in my youth as Joe Montana the Niners one.

1631
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 9: You know, four super Bowls in my first decade on

1632
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 9: the planet. Five by the time I graduated from high school.

1633
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 9: And I contend that in Cleveland, and I've been with

1634
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 9: this will be my thirteenth season with the Cleveland Browns.

1635
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 9: A super Bowl in Cleveland would be bigger than all

1636
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:41,600
Speaker 9: five of those Super Bowls in the Bay Area combined

1637
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 9: that you know, you look, Bernie Kozar is a bigger

1638
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 9: deal in Cleveland today than Joe Montana is in the

1639
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 9: Bay Area. That's just a that is an undisputable, indisputable

1640
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 9: that I.

1641
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 8: Can only tell you as it a Red Sox fan. Mmm,

1642
01:15:57,160 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 8: it's not even as a Patriots fan, because it's not

1643
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 8: the same amount of time. Right, that was pretty insane

1644
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 8: when they finally want a super pretty good run. Yeah,

1645
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 8: but yeah, the team didn't exist till nineteen sixties. So

1646
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 8: the Red Sox win. The Red Sox won that two

1647
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 8: thousand and four championship, right, that's the only real comparison

1648
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 8: I could do to Cleveland, who used to be great

1649
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 8: at one time. But that was back in the in

1650
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,560
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl sixties, you know. Yeah, I mean it

1651
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 8: was pretty super Bowl and uh, it's it's pretty crazy.

1652
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 8: It's fair and like I'm just sitting here now with you,

1653
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 8: I could tell you as a Red Sox fan, as

1654
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 8: a Patriots fan, those teams aren't great right now, and

1655
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 8: I don't even really care because we've had such a

1656
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 8: great run. So for the Browns fans, I'm sure they

1657
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 8: would love to be in a position where they were like, yeah,

1658
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 8: super Bowls, no big deal, we did that.

1659
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 9: They we'll take one. We'll take one man.

1660
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 14: And they love football. That towns football.

1661
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

1662
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 9: And listen, I know that you were able to talk

1663
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:01,760
Speaker 9: with Bill Belichick in terms of getting ready for your role.

1664
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,520
Speaker 14: Yeah, and he's got the Cleveland.

1665
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 9: T highes and then obviously went on and he had

1666
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 9: great success here things happened and ends up in New

1667
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 9: England with the with the Patriots and wins all those

1668
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 9: Super Bowls. What was kind of what did he tell

1669
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 9: you about Cleveland?

1670
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 8: He basically said the same thing we've been talking about.

1671
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 8: I mean, because you know, he's a football lifer. Yeah,

1672
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 8: so you know you're talking about a guy that his

1673
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 8: father was a coach. He grew up, you know, watching

1674
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 8: his father coach. You know, he was always in not

1675
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 8: just in locker rooms on football fields, but you know,

1676
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 8: he was in coaches meetings since he was a little kid.

1677
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 8: So he talked very respectfully about the fan base there

1678
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 8: and the disappointment that he had that he wasn't able

1679
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 8: because they had a good.

1680
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 14: Team going absolutely in ninety four.

1681
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, they had a good team. And how disappointing.

1682
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 8: It was for him the whole thing with the team

1683
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 8: moving and all that stuff. But you know, he was

1684
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 8: also it was interesting because he was sort of giving

1685
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 8: me advice about my part art, which was playing the coach.

1686
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 8: So that was interesting to get his insight on that stuff.

1687
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 8: But but you know, for Kevin and myself and a

1688
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:12,720
Speaker 8: lot of the other actors, I think Jennifer as well,

1689
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 8: you know, even i Ivan as the director. But for

1690
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 8: Kevin and I especially, it was just like, man, you

1691
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 8: don't when do you get a chance to do a

1692
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 8: sports movie based on a real team where you're actually

1693
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 8: at the real team's facilities, where they're nice enough to

1694
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 8: let you use their place.

1695
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 9: You know.

1696
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 8: So that was because we're making a fictional movie about

1697
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 8: a real team, but you know, you get there, like

1698
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 8: we just felt juiced.

1699
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 14: We really did.

1700
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 8: I mean, we felt like the town was so excited

1701
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 8: about it. We couldn't have been more excited about it,

1702
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 8: you know. And and then the first day that we

1703
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 8: went there, which was before we started shooting, Kevin and

1704
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 8: I and Jennifer went there just to get the feel

1705
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 8: of the place, talk to people, you know, just kind

1706
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 8: of und it up. You know, we felt real pressure.

1707
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 8: When we walked away, the people were so nice and

1708
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 8: they were so excited about us doing it. When we

1709
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 8: went back to the hotel, we were like, now this

1710
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 8: is a lot of pressure. Like we got a lot

1711
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 8: of pressure here, like we have to make sure that

1712
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 8: this movie is good because we're representing this team and

1713
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 8: this town.

1714
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 14: People are really excited, you know, so a lot of passion. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1715
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 14: it was.

1716
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 9: It was an NFL headquarters. Maybe what you thought you

1717
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 9: get the part you know you're gonna be a coach

1718
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 9: of the Cleveland Browns when you come in. Was it

1719
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 9: was it what you thought or what do you kind

1720
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:38,680
Speaker 9: of remember standing out to you about, you know, the

1721
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 9: Browns headquarters and just the way that a football team

1722
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 9: app an organization actually operates.

1723
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 14: There were a couple of things.

1724
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 6: One was.

1725
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 8: They had some some practices that, you know, some offseason

1726
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 8: training sessions that were happening while we were there, right,

1727
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 8: so we were able to film with some of that stuff,

1728
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 8: but when we first got there, they were starting. So anyways,

1729
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 8: the first this is going to sound crazy, but the

1730
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 8: first thing was that day that we were there, we

1731
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 8: had to eat at a certain point. We were there

1732
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 8: for a while, so we went to have lunch and

1733
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 8: they were like, basically, you guys can have whatever the

1734
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:18,560
Speaker 8: players have, which is there will be certain things in

1735
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 8: there that that you may want and not just tell

1736
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 8: the chefs the cooks. So the first thing was just

1737
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 8: the amount of food that was available first of all. Second,

1738
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 8: what we were eating compared to what the players were eating.

1739
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 8: The amount of food that was crazy.

1740
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean it was.

1741
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:42,639
Speaker 8: Some of the linemen came in and we were just like, like, guys,

1742
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 8: going back three times, you know what I mean, three deals,

1743
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 8: this is lunchtime, you know what I mean.

1744
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 14: So that was pretty amazing.

1745
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 8: But also the training facilities were the gym, the weight room,

1746
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 8: all that stuff was very impressive and h and then

1747
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 8: you know, watching them the real players, I mean, we've

1748
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 8: all done we've all been on the field or you know,

1749
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 8: I'm talking about myself and Kevin and Jennifer. You know,

1750
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 8: you've had you've done presentations, you've had access whatever you

1751
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 8: think you've done before. You know, you know, I've seen

1752
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,559
Speaker 8: Tom Brady from a sidelines, I've seen him twenty yards

1753
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 8: away warming up. It's not the same thing. Sure, being

1754
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 8: in the in the direct vicinity of a quarterback and

1755
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 8: watching hearing the sound of the ball makes and watching

1756
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 8: the speed of the ball.

1757
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 14: You know, yeah, they're crazy quite good. So I know

1758
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 14: that the hitting was great too, mats on top of

1759
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 14: the pads. Yeah, it was great. It was really great.

1760
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,719
Speaker 9: Do you have a little soft spot for the Cleveland

1761
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 9: Browns now?

1762
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:48,799
Speaker 8: Obviously a decade I always did. I always did because

1763
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 8: because there's always that thing you have. It's like, I'm

1764
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 8: a Bruins fan. But before the Rangers won that Cup

1765
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 8: in ninety four, I had so many friends, I had

1766
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 8: some cousins in New York.

1767
01:21:59,520 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1768
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, I had a soft spot for the Rangers just

1769
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:04,439
Speaker 8: because again it's like the Browns, they hadn't won it

1770
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 8: in so long. Sure, you know, so as a sports fan,

1771
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:12,400
Speaker 8: especially old franchises, like you respect the town. I've actually,

1772
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 8: you know, whenever I was on tour, I always stopped

1773
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 8: and I played Cleveland the great great crowds and uh

1774
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 8: and so it's that that thing of like even now

1775
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 8: like talking about it, it would be great.

1776
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 7: This year.

1777
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:32,640
Speaker 14: I was rooting for them a couple of times.

1778
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 8: In the course of the season because you want, you know,

1779
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 8: you want a team that hasn't had the opportunity in

1780
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 8: a long time to get there.

1781
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 4: You know, this is a personal pitch I.

1782
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 9: Wanted to make at the end of this interview. So

1783
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 9: big fan of yours obviously, and I'm talking going all

1784
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:52,679
Speaker 9: the way back to stand up to the Nike ads.

1785
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,600
Speaker 9: You did Bo Jackson righton Sanders and you remember he

1786
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 9: said about Bo Jackson, he said, I got Bo with

1787
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 9: me in his big bad hip, and you're talking about

1788
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 9: you know, Bo was working out of what are people

1789
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 9: with good hips doing there watching commercials? So we got

1790
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 9: a guy, Nick Chubb who is a person player and

1791
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 9: right now, unfortunately he's got a big bad knee. Right

1792
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 9: he's out there squatting four hundred and seventy five pounds

1793
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 9: with his big bad knee for another Dennis Leary football

1794
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 9: commercial talking about Nick nick jub.

1795
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 14: Yeah, and what's the report on him? Is he going

1796
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 14: to be one hundred percent?

1797
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 9: Saying at some point hopefully yes, I don't know if

1798
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 9: he'll be ready to start the season, but he's he's working.

1799
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 9: Nobody works harder and he's.

1800
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 14: He's a great player, man.

1801
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1802
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:42,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, that was a tough injury, brutal that sucked. Yeah,

1803
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 14: a great player, great player.

1804
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

Speaker 9: Did you have fun making those nfls. I know you're

1806
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 9: such a sports fan. Getting to do that with.

1807
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:53,640
Speaker 8: Bow Yeah, man, listen, those are a blast, you know,

1808
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 8: and to be able to I mean, that was one

1809
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 8: of the great things about being in Cleveland too, is Yeah,

1810
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 8: I'm a huge sports fan, also a huge sports movie fan,

1811
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 8: you know. So I was a huge Costner fan, and

1812
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 8: I love westerns as well.

1813
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,960
Speaker 14: He's iconic for that. So I just I'll never forget.

1814
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:13,640
Speaker 8: When Reiman first called me, he said, hey, listen, you

1815
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 8: know I'm finalizing the script. This is long before we

1816
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 8: getting ready to make the movie. He said, I just

1817
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 8: wanted to see what you're gauge your interest. I'm doing

1818
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 8: a movie. It wasn't even about the Browns yet. It

1819
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:28,759
Speaker 8: hadn't been decided about the Browns. He said, Kevin Coster

1820
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 8: is going to play like a GM and it's going

1821
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 8: to be about the NFL Draft, and I'm gonna I'm

1822
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 8: gonna need a coach.

1823
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 14: Character, would you be? I said, are you asking me.

1824
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 8: To do a football movie with Kevin Costner?

1825
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:41,680
Speaker 14: And he was like yeah. I said, I don't care.

1826
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 4: I'm in.

1827
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 8: I hadn't there if I'm the bad guy, I don't care.

1828
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 8: I'm in, right, that's what active. That's a sports fan,

1829
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 8: that's a Kevin Costner fan. So I committed before we

1830
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,719
Speaker 8: knew it was the Browns, before we before we actually

1831
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 8: had a finished script, before I even really knew if

1832
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 8: my guy was the good guy. So I committed and

1833
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:06,720
Speaker 8: and so, and I'll never forget that day when he

1834
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 8: called and said, hey, listen, I think it's going to

1835
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 8: be the Cleveland Browns.

1836
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 14: And I was like, oh, that's perfect.

1837
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

1838
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 8: Sports fans in general will get well that anybody would

1839
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 8: root for the Browns. Yeah, so you're going to have

1840
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 8: them on your side. And that came across so well

1841
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 8: that my wife, who's not a sports fan, doesn't know

1842
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 8: anything about the Browns their history, but my wife got

1843
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,920
Speaker 8: that feeling when she watched the movie. Was she went

1844
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 8: to the premiere and she was like, oh, she was

1845
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 8: rooting for everybody, and she said, I felt bad for

1846
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 8: the Cleveland Browns.

1847
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 14: I'm like, you're supposed to, that's the idea.

1848
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 9: So hopefully that super Bowl is coming before we get

1849
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 9: out of here. And again, thank you so much for

1850
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 9: the time.

1851
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:49,679
Speaker 14: This has been awesome.

1852
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 9: I want to give you an opportunity to talk a

1853
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,760
Speaker 9: little bit about the Leary Firefighters Foundation and of course

1854
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 9: the fun for New York Bravests where you have done

1855
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 9: such great work for the firefighting community. Of course you're

1856
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 9: synonymous with Rescue Me and that industry, but you are

1857
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 9: a lot more than just an actor putting those stories

1858
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 9: to life. You're putting a lot of money to help

1859
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,560
Speaker 9: people who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

1860
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 8: Yes, so it's perfect timing for this and for my

1861
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 8: foundation to be mentioned. Every year we do fundraiser it's

1862
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,799
Speaker 8: called the Firefighter Challenge. We do it with the FDNY

1863
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 8: at the Training Academy in New York, their Training Academy,

1864
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 8: which is the biggest fire training facility in the world.

1865
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 8: And what we do is people pay enormous amounts of

1866
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,560
Speaker 8: money to come and join us and be a firefighter

1867
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 8: for a day and get trained by actual New York

1868
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 8: City firefighters. So but if you can't come, it's May

1869
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 8: third every year because May fourth is International Firefighters Day

1870
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:47,839
Speaker 8: every year, so we do it on the Friday before

1871
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 8: that date. This year it's May third, and you don't

1872
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 8: have to come. If you can't make it, you can donate,

1873
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 8: you know, through my website Learryfirefighters dot org And what

1874
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 8: we are proud of stuff. No matter how much money

1875
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 8: we raise every year, we turn that money around within

1876
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 8: six months to a year because we donate it to

1877
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 8: various departments around the country. I can't give you the numbers,

1878
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 8: but they're pretty astonished. In the course of the last

1879
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 8: six or seven years alone, we've touched departments in almost

1880
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 8: every state in the Union in terms of new vehicles,

1881
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 8: new training facilities, and equipment. That's our primary thing is

1882
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 8: just you can't believe how many fire departments because firefighters

1883
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 8: don't go on strike. So when it comes time to

1884
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 8: cut somebody in the in the local budget, when there's

1885
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 8: budget problems, firefighters are one of the first to go

1886
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 8: because they're still going to do their job right. They're

1887
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 8: not going to protest, they're not not going to stop working.

1888
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 8: So we do big items, we do small landers. But

1889
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:50,560
Speaker 8: every time we give a fire department somewhere in this

1890
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 8: country a new vehicle, a new building, or a new

1891
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 8: piece of equipment, it goes right to work. That's how

1892
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 8: dire the need is. So you can donate, I say,

1893
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 8: I literally say this. Every dollar makes a difference. So

1894
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 8: if you donate a dollar, that dollar will be turned

1895
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 8: into a thermal imaging camera, a haligain, whatever.

1896
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 14: Piece of equipment it might be.

1897
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 8: You can give a lot and obviously that would also

1898
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 8: help a lot, but we're very passionate about the cause.

1899
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 8: We help volunteer departments, we help professional departments, and we

1900
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:25,760
Speaker 8: do it every year and within six months to a

1901
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 8: year you can see video or pictures of your money
