1
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,706
Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schreeger is a production of the

2
00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:24,706
Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, everybody, Welcome to

3
00:00:24,706 --> 00:00:27,786
Speaker 1: another episode of the Season with Peter Schreger. We're entering

4
00:00:27,826 --> 00:00:31,506
Speaker 1: week eight of this NFL campaign and we're coming off

5
00:00:31,506 --> 00:00:34,786
Speaker 1: a week where the Patriots beat the Bills, the Vikings

6
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:39,106
Speaker 1: beat the forty nine ers, and the New York Giants

7
00:00:39,106 --> 00:00:41,866
Speaker 1: got back on track beating the Washington Commanders. There was

8
00:00:41,986 --> 00:00:45,386
Speaker 1: so much intrigue going into this week about the Detroit Lions,

9
00:00:45,386 --> 00:00:50,386
Speaker 1: and then the Baltimore Ravens absolutely walloped them in Baltimore

10
00:00:50,466 --> 00:00:54,266
Speaker 1: and did so physically, like watching Ronnie Stanley block poor

11
00:00:54,346 --> 00:00:56,866
Speaker 1: Kirby Joseph. I think he's in the stand somewhere. He

12
00:00:56,906 --> 00:01:00,546
Speaker 1: threw him around so hard. And it's just week to week,

13
00:01:00,626 --> 00:01:02,826
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to do like power rankings, and

14
00:01:02,866 --> 00:01:05,146
Speaker 1: this is the MVP because things change week two week,

15
00:01:05,186 --> 00:01:08,626
Speaker 1: and that's the beauty of the sport. I'm joined here

16
00:01:08,666 --> 00:01:10,546
Speaker 1: by Aaron wan Kaufman, our producer.

17
00:01:10,586 --> 00:01:10,786
Speaker 2: Aaron.

18
00:01:10,826 --> 00:01:13,306
Speaker 1: I'm still thinking about the Sunday night game though, and

19
00:01:13,346 --> 00:01:16,466
Speaker 1: what the Eagles did to the Dolphins. Did did you

20
00:01:16,506 --> 00:01:17,306
Speaker 1: watch that game?

21
00:01:17,546 --> 00:01:20,266
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, yep. I was texting with one of my

22
00:01:20,306 --> 00:01:22,786
Speaker 2: friends who's a writer, who is a huge Eagles fan,

23
00:01:23,786 --> 00:01:27,346
Speaker 2: and the difference in our emotion, like me having watched

24
00:01:27,346 --> 00:01:29,666
Speaker 2: the Bills game earlier in the day and him currently

25
00:01:29,706 --> 00:01:32,106
Speaker 2: watching the Eagles game. I mean, it was it was.

26
00:01:32,306 --> 00:01:35,266
Speaker 2: They were very good. It was it was like strength,

27
00:01:35,266 --> 00:01:36,546
Speaker 2: they were speed, and.

28
00:01:36,466 --> 00:01:36,746
Speaker 3: It was.

29
00:01:38,626 --> 00:01:40,106
Speaker 1: Your friend's a writer. What's he writing?

30
00:01:40,866 --> 00:01:43,706
Speaker 2: And he writes for NFL writing, He works at ESP Nation.

31
00:01:44,426 --> 00:01:46,826
Speaker 2: What's his name, Ben Nathan?

32
00:01:47,266 --> 00:01:50,306
Speaker 1: What's up? Ben? You gotta read his stuff here. All along,

33
00:01:50,346 --> 00:01:51,866
Speaker 1: I thought you were my buddy and that you and

34
00:01:51,906 --> 00:01:53,506
Speaker 1: I are the ones texting, And now you've got this

35
00:01:53,626 --> 00:01:57,746
Speaker 1: other side. Check Ben Nathan at esp Nation that you're texting.

36
00:01:58,786 --> 00:02:01,306
Speaker 1: It's like finding out your wife is as a whole

37
00:02:01,306 --> 00:02:03,186
Speaker 1: other thing going on with some other guy in the

38
00:02:03,186 --> 00:02:04,266
Speaker 1: same exact line of work.

39
00:02:04,266 --> 00:02:06,666
Speaker 2: All right here, I got a workshop my takes before

40
00:02:06,706 --> 00:02:07,186
Speaker 2: I bring them.

41
00:02:07,346 --> 00:02:07,706
Speaker 1: I got it.

42
00:02:07,906 --> 00:02:08,906
Speaker 2: I gotta be ready.

43
00:02:09,186 --> 00:02:10,626
Speaker 1: I got it. I got it. And if I start

44
00:02:10,626 --> 00:02:18,706
Speaker 1: seeing my takes on Ben Nathan's by the Eagles win

45
00:02:18,986 --> 00:02:21,826
Speaker 1: was huge and they'll continue to roll and we'll see

46
00:02:21,826 --> 00:02:23,586
Speaker 1: them in the playoffs. On this thing, I wanted to

47
00:02:23,706 --> 00:02:26,506
Speaker 1: use the Eagles as a Peg because I made the

48
00:02:26,546 --> 00:02:29,146
Speaker 1: comment on Good Morning Football on Monday morning, like, my

49
00:02:29,186 --> 00:02:31,946
Speaker 1: big takeaway from that game is that AJ Brown is

50
00:02:31,946 --> 00:02:37,306
Speaker 1: an absolute force and this dude is a is a beast,

51
00:02:37,706 --> 00:02:41,186
Speaker 1: and in a world where my kid wants to be

52
00:02:41,306 --> 00:02:44,186
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill for Halloween and his friend wants to be

53
00:02:44,506 --> 00:02:47,386
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson because he does the gritty and Tyreek does celebrate.

54
00:02:47,466 --> 00:02:50,266
Speaker 1: Like AJ Brown's as good as both those guys this year,

55
00:02:50,266 --> 00:02:52,906
Speaker 1: if not the best wide receiver in all of football.

56
00:02:52,946 --> 00:02:55,986
Speaker 1: And the stat that came out since he had like

57
00:02:56,026 --> 00:02:58,666
Speaker 1: a little sideline blow up on what was that a

58
00:02:58,706 --> 00:03:02,146
Speaker 1: Thursday night game against the Vikings, he and Jalen Hurts were,

59
00:03:02,306 --> 00:03:04,986
Speaker 1: you know, going back and forth. He's had one hundred

60
00:03:04,986 --> 00:03:07,106
Speaker 1: and twenty five yards or more in every single game.

61
00:03:07,706 --> 00:03:10,706
Speaker 1: That's five straight games. And the stat that ESPN was

62
00:03:10,706 --> 00:03:15,346
Speaker 1: showing it was first NBC, but then ESPN all day

63
00:03:15,386 --> 00:03:17,866
Speaker 1: yesterday on Instagram and it was made the rounds that

64
00:03:18,266 --> 00:03:21,546
Speaker 1: he and Calvin Johnson are the only receivers this century

65
00:03:21,626 --> 00:03:24,226
Speaker 1: to go for one hundred and twenty five yards or

66
00:03:24,266 --> 00:03:27,146
Speaker 1: more five straight games. Now, I am going to take

67
00:03:28,066 --> 00:03:30,386
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the credit here, but one percent

68
00:03:30,426 --> 00:03:33,506
Speaker 1: of this did come from a Twitter follower who sent

69
00:03:33,586 --> 00:03:37,346
Speaker 1: this to me and was like, you need a nickname

70
00:03:37,586 --> 00:03:40,626
Speaker 1: for aj Brown whatever he's got, and to use the

71
00:03:40,626 --> 00:03:44,946
Speaker 1: word John in the nickname. I thought of it and

72
00:03:44,986 --> 00:03:51,546
Speaker 1: I went with it on the air. Mega John, Mega John.

73
00:03:51,826 --> 00:03:53,666
Speaker 2: I like that a lot. That's very good.

74
00:03:54,106 --> 00:03:56,226
Speaker 1: So the stat that came up was the only two

75
00:03:56,266 --> 00:03:59,346
Speaker 1: players to go for one twenty five or more and

76
00:03:59,426 --> 00:04:06,146
Speaker 1: five straight games was Mega John and Megatron okay, which

77
00:04:06,186 --> 00:04:10,746
Speaker 1: then led my beautiful mind, crazy brain, sick, neurotic, where

78
00:04:10,786 --> 00:04:13,306
Speaker 1: the hell does my brain go to? The Are they

79
00:04:13,306 --> 00:04:15,986
Speaker 1: the only guys to do it? So I asked my

80
00:04:15,986 --> 00:04:18,866
Speaker 1: producer and Good Morning Football, nice dude named Rich Goldberg.

81
00:04:18,906 --> 00:04:20,866
Speaker 1: He works out of Mount Laurel, New Jersey. I think

82
00:04:20,866 --> 00:04:25,186
Speaker 1: he's in like uh, like he lives at the facility

83
00:04:25,186 --> 00:04:27,666
Speaker 1: because anytime, at any hour I'm texting him. He's like

84
00:04:27,746 --> 00:04:30,586
Speaker 1: deep in the NFL film's archives, like going through tape.

85
00:04:30,826 --> 00:04:32,386
Speaker 1: And I said, is there anyone else who did this?

86
00:04:32,466 --> 00:04:35,026
Speaker 1: Because it keeps on saying since two thousands, since two thousands,

87
00:04:35,026 --> 00:04:36,826
Speaker 1: So who did it in ninety nine and ninety eight?

88
00:04:38,666 --> 00:04:42,866
Speaker 1: And the answer was Pat stud Still did it in

89
00:04:42,986 --> 00:04:47,946
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six. I said, who the is Pat stud Still.

90
00:04:48,866 --> 00:04:52,146
Speaker 1: So I I'm like, we gotta do a deep dive.

91
00:04:52,546 --> 00:04:54,746
Speaker 1: Who is Pat stud Still? I don't know. I know

92
00:04:54,826 --> 00:04:58,106
Speaker 1: Lance Alworth, I know Jerry Rice, I know Steve Largin,

93
00:04:58,386 --> 00:05:02,466
Speaker 1: I know Randy Maws. I even I could tell you

94
00:05:02,466 --> 00:05:05,466
Speaker 1: a lot about Ernest Givens and Curtis Duncan and Webster Slaughter.

95
00:05:05,506 --> 00:05:07,906
Speaker 1: I mean, do so many names. Rob Moore on the

96
00:05:07,906 --> 00:05:09,986
Speaker 1: Cardinals had some good year, Ricky prol on the Cardinals,

97
00:05:10,146 --> 00:05:14,026
Speaker 1: ZERI we can go through all of the most random

98
00:05:14,066 --> 00:05:17,186
Speaker 1: wide receiver big breakout seasons, from Tory Holt to Aza

99
00:05:17,266 --> 00:05:20,226
Speaker 1: Quem to Isaac Bruce to Rod Smith. Let we go

100
00:05:20,346 --> 00:05:23,066
Speaker 1: to that. My brain works that way. Stud Still I

101
00:05:23,106 --> 00:05:25,506
Speaker 1: did not know that name. I'd never heard of that name.

102
00:05:25,746 --> 00:05:29,266
Speaker 1: So I'm like, who is Pat stud Still? So we

103
00:05:29,346 --> 00:05:32,786
Speaker 1: start doing some research. Let me tell you about Pet

104
00:05:32,826 --> 00:05:35,706
Speaker 1: stud Still. This is how most podcasts start. In week

105
00:05:35,706 --> 00:05:37,866
Speaker 1: eight at twenty twenty three, they say, let's go into

106
00:05:37,946 --> 00:05:41,586
Speaker 1: a Pet stud Still deep dive. Studstill was an undrafted

107
00:05:41,586 --> 00:05:44,666
Speaker 1: player out of Houston goes to the Detroit Lions, where

108
00:05:44,706 --> 00:05:47,506
Speaker 1: he is primarily a kick and punt returner for the

109
00:05:47,546 --> 00:05:52,386
Speaker 1: first several years of his career. Nineteen sixty six, he

110
00:05:52,426 --> 00:05:54,666
Speaker 1: goes and has one of the great wide receiver seasons

111
00:05:54,666 --> 00:05:56,546
Speaker 1: of all time. And this is back when they used

112
00:05:56,586 --> 00:05:59,146
Speaker 1: to have the you know, the goalpost at the front

113
00:05:59,146 --> 00:06:02,066
Speaker 1: of the end zone and they would play like twelve games.

114
00:06:02,586 --> 00:06:06,186
Speaker 1: Sixty six stud still went for sixty seven catches twelve

115
00:06:06,666 --> 00:06:09,546
Speaker 1: in sixty six yards, which is like, you know, it's

116
00:06:09,586 --> 00:06:12,946
Speaker 1: like in today the milk. The price of milk, you know,

117
00:06:13,026 --> 00:06:15,226
Speaker 1: back then was straight down, so now it's all that

118
00:06:15,506 --> 00:06:17,826
Speaker 1: The equivalent is like if a guy randomly I didn't

119
00:06:17,826 --> 00:06:19,306
Speaker 1: know where this year, came out and had like two

120
00:06:19,346 --> 00:06:21,786
Speaker 1: hundred catches and four thousand yards, Like that's what the

121
00:06:21,906 --> 00:06:25,346
Speaker 1: numbers were for pet studs still, so I'm like, what

122
00:06:25,426 --> 00:06:27,226
Speaker 1: the hell? Like who what did it?

123
00:06:27,226 --> 00:06:27,306
Speaker 2: For?

124
00:06:27,346 --> 00:06:29,346
Speaker 1: The Lions? Like a bad Lions team. He had a

125
00:06:29,426 --> 00:06:31,986
Speaker 1: ninety nine yard catch in that game, So I'm like,

126
00:06:31,986 --> 00:06:33,306
Speaker 1: all right, So what was the rest of his career?

127
00:06:34,146 --> 00:06:37,186
Speaker 1: Heard his hamstring didn't do much. The rest of his

128
00:06:37,266 --> 00:06:42,146
Speaker 1: career at wide receiver was kind of irrelevant. But in

129
00:06:42,226 --> 00:06:45,066
Speaker 1: sixty six, in addition to being the punt returner and

130
00:06:45,146 --> 00:06:48,906
Speaker 1: the kick returner, he picked up punting duties for the

131
00:06:48,906 --> 00:06:52,226
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions and was their full time punter. This wasn't

132
00:06:52,226 --> 00:06:55,066
Speaker 1: the thirties when guys played both ways or the forties

133
00:06:55,106 --> 00:06:56,946
Speaker 1: where it's like we have seven running backs and a

134
00:06:56,946 --> 00:07:00,426
Speaker 1: million dollar backfa year old. This is like late sixties,

135
00:07:00,586 --> 00:07:03,426
Speaker 1: like Lombardi was coaching and Hank Stram was coaching, like

136
00:07:03,466 --> 00:07:06,186
Speaker 1: this was like relevant. He was the team's number one

137
00:07:06,226 --> 00:07:11,066
Speaker 1: wi receiver and their full time punter. So that was

138
00:07:11,106 --> 00:07:14,506
Speaker 1: sixty six. They trade him to the Rams. He then

139
00:07:14,546 --> 00:07:16,586
Speaker 1: goes and has six more years in his NFL career

140
00:07:16,706 --> 00:07:19,186
Speaker 1: just as a punter. I'm like, who the hell is

141
00:07:19,226 --> 00:07:21,106
Speaker 1: this guy? Why has that not been a documentary on

142
00:07:21,186 --> 00:07:24,146
Speaker 1: Pat stud Still? This is incredible. Led the league in punts,

143
00:07:24,186 --> 00:07:27,066
Speaker 1: led the league in punts yardage, like the stat that's crazy.

144
00:07:27,346 --> 00:07:30,906
Speaker 1: Sixty two he leads the NFL and punt return yards,

145
00:07:31,146 --> 00:07:34,386
Speaker 1: sixty six, leads the NFL in receiving yards, and then

146
00:07:34,426 --> 00:07:37,866
Speaker 1: in like sixty seven, he leads the NFL in most punts.

147
00:07:38,346 --> 00:07:42,626
Speaker 1: Was a two time pro bowler. Eventually retires in seventy one,

148
00:07:43,066 --> 00:07:46,306
Speaker 1: and then Aaron because this is just Pat stud Still

149
00:07:46,426 --> 00:07:50,386
Speaker 1: and who he is. Then he goes on to become

150
00:07:50,426 --> 00:07:54,666
Speaker 1: a very successful actor and he's in Dukes of Hazard

151
00:07:54,986 --> 00:07:57,946
Speaker 1: and he's in two hundred different commercials, not two commercials,

152
00:07:57,986 --> 00:08:01,986
Speaker 1: two hundred different commercials. And in nineteen seventy four, Burt

153
00:08:02,026 --> 00:08:04,386
Speaker 1: Reynolds and the guys who put on the original Longest

154
00:08:04,426 --> 00:08:08,386
Speaker 1: Yard movie tapped Pat stud Still to work on the movie,

155
00:08:08,586 --> 00:08:10,746
Speaker 1: and he was the guy who did all the technical

156
00:08:10,826 --> 00:08:13,786
Speaker 1: football stuff. He was their guide. So on all these

157
00:08:13,786 --> 00:08:15,826
Speaker 1: sports movies, they'll have a technical guy to come on

158
00:08:15,906 --> 00:08:17,506
Speaker 1: and be like, well, you wouldn't throw the ball that way,

159
00:08:17,546 --> 00:08:19,626
Speaker 1: and the line of scrimmage would actually be a little

160
00:08:19,626 --> 00:08:22,066
Speaker 1: bit lined up this way. The guard would be stud

161
00:08:22,106 --> 00:08:24,426
Speaker 1: Still worked on the set for all those days on

162
00:08:24,906 --> 00:08:28,866
Speaker 1: the Longest Yard production goes on, has this awesome acting career.

163
00:08:29,826 --> 00:08:33,466
Speaker 1: I had never heard of Pat stud Still. He eventually

164
00:08:33,586 --> 00:08:36,466
Speaker 1: passed in twenty twenty one. I was reading his obituary today.

165
00:08:36,466 --> 00:08:40,986
Speaker 1: They also said he was the last guy to resist

166
00:08:41,106 --> 00:08:44,466
Speaker 1: wearing the Ridell face mask, So he was wearing one

167
00:08:44,506 --> 00:08:47,186
Speaker 1: of these old school helmets with an old school face

168
00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:49,106
Speaker 1: mask when the rest of the NFL was already moving

169
00:08:49,146 --> 00:08:51,786
Speaker 1: on in the sixties and seventies. I say all this

170
00:08:51,946 --> 00:08:59,266
Speaker 1: to say the following. I've seen the docs. I've seen

171
00:08:59,946 --> 00:09:03,866
Speaker 1: the thirty for thirties I've seen the Football Lives. We

172
00:09:03,946 --> 00:09:08,266
Speaker 1: know everything you could possibly know about Deacon Jones, about

173
00:09:08,266 --> 00:09:13,946
Speaker 1: Tim Brown, about OJ Simpson, about Dion Sanders. I think

174
00:09:13,986 --> 00:09:20,306
Speaker 1: we need to executive produce a Pat stud Still documentary. Aaron,

175
00:09:20,426 --> 00:09:24,226
Speaker 1: are you in ongoing deep on the life of stud Still?

176
00:09:24,426 --> 00:09:27,706
Speaker 2: Yeah. We talk about stud Still as like the the

177
00:09:27,746 --> 00:09:31,146
Speaker 2: origin of positionless players. Yeah, we get we get Debo

178
00:09:31,266 --> 00:09:35,786
Speaker 2: in there, we get yeah Hill, Yeah, no, I love it.

179
00:09:35,866 --> 00:09:38,626
Speaker 2: And then then after that we force each of them

180
00:09:38,746 --> 00:09:41,946
Speaker 2: to re enact Dukes of Hazzard scenes too, to just

181
00:09:41,946 --> 00:09:45,106
Speaker 2: show out. I mean, I can't believe to do those

182
00:09:45,226 --> 00:09:49,106
Speaker 2: different positions and then also break into acting. Is that's

183
00:09:49,146 --> 00:09:50,106
Speaker 2: a wild ride?

184
00:09:50,266 --> 00:09:53,026
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, the big story out of Kansas City this

185
00:09:53,066 --> 00:09:55,186
Speaker 1: past week was a little mentioned in Dave tab the

186
00:09:55,266 --> 00:09:58,146
Speaker 1: Special Teams coordinators press conference that you know with Tommy

187
00:09:58,146 --> 00:10:00,826
Speaker 1: Townsend hurt. Pat Mahomes is our backup hunter, and it

188
00:10:00,906 --> 00:10:04,786
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, dude, this guy was returning punts,

189
00:10:04,906 --> 00:10:07,586
Speaker 1: returning kicks, playing why receiver and he was also in

190
00:10:07,626 --> 00:10:09,666
Speaker 1: sixty six. He was their full time punter. So he's

191
00:10:09,746 --> 00:10:12,186
Speaker 1: leading the NFL and receiving cards and was the best

192
00:10:12,186 --> 00:10:15,386
Speaker 1: punter in the sport. Gets hurt, and then it was like,

193
00:10:15,466 --> 00:10:17,226
Speaker 1: all right, I'm not going to play receiver anymore. I'll

194
00:10:17,266 --> 00:10:19,826
Speaker 1: just be a punter. We've probably spent four minutes too

195
00:10:19,866 --> 00:10:22,586
Speaker 1: long on Pat stud Still. But if if you're a

196
00:10:22,586 --> 00:10:24,426
Speaker 1: fan of the season with Peter Schreger, you know this

197
00:10:24,466 --> 00:10:27,706
Speaker 1: is the stuff you're here for. And it's knowledge like

198
00:10:27,746 --> 00:10:32,266
Speaker 1: that and my quest to learn and my desire to

199
00:10:32,266 --> 00:10:36,226
Speaker 1: become an expert on things like Pat stud Still. That

200
00:10:36,346 --> 00:10:40,426
Speaker 1: makes me a wonderful contestant on Jeopardy, Aaron, can I

201
00:10:40,466 --> 00:10:42,226
Speaker 1: talk about it one more time if the listeners didn't

202
00:10:42,266 --> 00:10:46,386
Speaker 1: watch or listen last week, I am appearing on Celebrity

203
00:10:46,426 --> 00:10:49,546
Speaker 1: Jeopardy this week and it's airing on Wednesday, October twenty

204
00:10:49,546 --> 00:10:52,706
Speaker 1: fifth at eight pm Eastern. It is on ABC, it

205
00:10:52,746 --> 00:10:55,706
Speaker 1: is in prime time. I am a contestant. It is

206
00:10:55,746 --> 00:11:00,306
Speaker 1: of the celebrity version. We discussed the celebrity aspect of

207
00:11:00,306 --> 00:11:02,746
Speaker 1: it last week. How uncomfortable I am with that word,

208
00:11:03,026 --> 00:11:05,626
Speaker 1: and yet I will wear it because it got me

209
00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:07,386
Speaker 1: onto the show. I would have never been able to

210
00:11:07,426 --> 00:11:09,466
Speaker 1: compete with the actual people who are on Jeopardy. I'm

211
00:11:09,466 --> 00:11:11,746
Speaker 1: not smart enough for that. But the celebrities, they are dumb,

212
00:11:12,146 --> 00:11:16,826
Speaker 1: so I can. I can compete with celebrities. When you're

213
00:11:16,866 --> 00:11:19,186
Speaker 1: busy looking in the mirror most of your life and

214
00:11:19,186 --> 00:11:22,866
Speaker 1: not searching Wikipedia and reading encyclopedias, you can get on

215
00:11:23,386 --> 00:11:28,546
Speaker 1: celebrity Jeopardy. So I competed. We recorded in August. I

216
00:11:28,586 --> 00:11:31,546
Speaker 1: have not revealed anything. I was wavering. I was like,

217
00:11:32,386 --> 00:11:34,506
Speaker 1: do I go big and talk about it or do

218
00:11:34,546 --> 00:11:36,146
Speaker 1: I just let it kind of appear. We talked about

219
00:11:36,146 --> 00:11:38,026
Speaker 1: it last week. I've gotten so many responses, people being

220
00:11:38,026 --> 00:11:41,106
Speaker 1: blown away. I posted a photo on my Twitter feed

221
00:11:41,906 --> 00:11:45,906
Speaker 1: of me at the Jeopardy podium. What do you call it?

222
00:11:45,946 --> 00:11:50,186
Speaker 1: A podium? Were like, and I showed how I wrote

223
00:11:50,226 --> 00:11:55,306
Speaker 1: my name and I went capslock first name. A couple

224
00:11:55,346 --> 00:11:57,106
Speaker 1: of people were like, how do you not go shregs?

225
00:11:57,546 --> 00:12:00,226
Speaker 1: How do you not go Schrager? That's what people call you.

226
00:12:01,706 --> 00:12:05,226
Speaker 1: Went with Peter in capslocks. It's the name my parents

227
00:12:05,226 --> 00:12:08,426
Speaker 1: gave me. And I'll say this, we're twenty four hours

228
00:12:08,466 --> 00:12:11,266
Speaker 1: from it airing or about that. We're recording this on Tuesday.

229
00:12:12,826 --> 00:12:16,266
Speaker 1: It's a showdown, bro. It goes to the wire and

230
00:12:16,346 --> 00:12:18,946
Speaker 1: it is epic and it's one of the best episodes

231
00:12:18,986 --> 00:12:20,986
Speaker 1: that program. And it's one hundred years I've ever had,

232
00:12:22,546 --> 00:12:25,426
Speaker 1: very proud of not only myself, but my two contestants,

233
00:12:25,466 --> 00:12:27,866
Speaker 1: my opponents. They all did very well. It would be

234
00:12:27,866 --> 00:12:30,666
Speaker 1: Mira Sorvino, who I have not spoken to since, and

235
00:12:30,706 --> 00:12:34,546
Speaker 1: Adam Rodriguez, who I have not spoken to since. That's blood, bro,

236
00:12:34,666 --> 00:12:36,586
Speaker 1: That's what it is like. Once you we left it

237
00:12:36,626 --> 00:12:39,826
Speaker 1: on the field. I honestly I thought walking out of

238
00:12:39,826 --> 00:12:41,546
Speaker 1: that that they I'm like, all right, these where the

239
00:12:41,546 --> 00:12:43,426
Speaker 1: three of us are gonna be connected for life, Like

240
00:12:43,466 --> 00:12:45,586
Speaker 1: we're gonna have store. I haven't talked to either one

241
00:12:45,626 --> 00:12:48,226
Speaker 1: of them since, so maybe after the show airs, we'll

242
00:12:48,306 --> 00:12:50,946
Speaker 1: rekindle the magic and the chemistry we had on the show.

243
00:12:50,986 --> 00:12:55,506
Speaker 1: But it's an hour long. It's Celebrity Jeopardy. If you've watched,

244
00:12:55,586 --> 00:12:58,746
Speaker 1: there is not only regular Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy, there's

245
00:12:58,786 --> 00:13:02,106
Speaker 1: Triple Jeopardy, so there's three different portions of it, and

246
00:13:02,106 --> 00:13:06,466
Speaker 1: then there's Final Jeopardy. I think I'll save some of

247
00:13:06,386 --> 00:13:08,826
Speaker 1: the recap stuff till next week. I will just say this,

248
00:13:09,866 --> 00:13:12,146
Speaker 1: it's the coolest thing I ever got to do professionally.

249
00:13:12,186 --> 00:13:14,266
Speaker 1: And I've been on the field at Super Bowls and

250
00:13:14,346 --> 00:13:17,426
Speaker 1: I've interviewed everyone from Tom Brady to Patrick Mahomes, and

251
00:13:17,826 --> 00:13:21,786
Speaker 1: I've gotten to meet crazy, cool and interesting people being

252
00:13:21,946 --> 00:13:26,506
Speaker 1: at that that set which they also film Wheel of

253
00:13:26,546 --> 00:13:28,866
Speaker 1: Fortune next door, which I didn't even know, like Merv

254
00:13:28,906 --> 00:13:31,546
Speaker 1: Griffin birthed them both. I guess like they're they're in

255
00:13:31,666 --> 00:13:37,506
Speaker 1: that same studio. Childhood memories and memories of all the

256
00:13:37,866 --> 00:13:41,146
Speaker 1: you know, great hours of my college days spent on

257
00:13:41,186 --> 00:13:44,746
Speaker 1: the couch but watching Jeopardy. But then also like the

258
00:13:44,786 --> 00:13:48,626
Speaker 1: celebrity Jeopardy spoofs on Saturday Live with Will Ferrell and

259
00:13:48,666 --> 00:13:51,546
Speaker 1: Norm McDonald and you know, all of it, it all

260
00:13:51,586 --> 00:13:56,386
Speaker 1: comes flashing back, so very cool emotional experience and also

261
00:13:56,586 --> 00:14:00,866
Speaker 1: just an awesome, awesome thing to say I have done.

262
00:14:01,626 --> 00:14:04,386
Speaker 2: And especially because last week you were saying how as

263
00:14:04,386 --> 00:14:06,146
Speaker 2: a kid you would be sitting at the dining room

264
00:14:06,146 --> 00:14:09,066
Speaker 2: table watching Jeopardy with your family.

265
00:14:09,106 --> 00:14:12,546
Speaker 1: I wish kitchen table, table, kitchen. There was no dining

266
00:14:12,626 --> 00:14:13,746
Speaker 1: room that we dined.

267
00:14:13,506 --> 00:14:16,146
Speaker 2: At, Sorry New York. Yeah, it's the same.

268
00:14:15,946 --> 00:14:19,226
Speaker 1: Thing, kitchen, kitchen, table with a little TV free Old

269
00:14:19,306 --> 00:14:22,066
Speaker 1: New Jersey, and it was my dad would walk in

270
00:14:22,106 --> 00:14:25,226
Speaker 1: the door like six fifty seven, we'd sit down, there'd

271
00:14:25,266 --> 00:14:27,586
Speaker 1: be like a slice of candle lope we'd eat that.

272
00:14:27,986 --> 00:14:31,506
Speaker 1: You probably have some London broil, and then it's oh, yeah,

273
00:14:31,546 --> 00:14:34,146
Speaker 1: we've started a little Candleope, maybe a little grapefruit I

274
00:14:34,146 --> 00:14:34,466
Speaker 1: can get.

275
00:14:34,706 --> 00:14:34,946
Speaker 3: That's it.

276
00:14:35,546 --> 00:14:38,266
Speaker 1: That's a little starter there. And then we would watch

277
00:14:38,306 --> 00:14:40,266
Speaker 1: Jeopardy for a half hour, and then my brother and

278
00:14:40,306 --> 00:14:43,346
Speaker 1: I would scurry off into like another room and say

279
00:14:43,426 --> 00:14:45,146
Speaker 1: three your computer. Yeah, playing in the computer. That's what

00:16:30,306 --> 00:16:34,106
Speaker 1: for a few years now. You had history with this

311
00:16:34,146 --> 00:16:36,466
Speaker 1: program before bouncing around a little bit and then coming

312
00:16:36,546 --> 00:16:40,386
Speaker 1: back to the school, what is Shepherd University? And I'm

313
00:16:40,426 --> 00:16:43,386
Speaker 1: not being insulting as an NFL guys being out of it.

314
00:16:43,666 --> 00:16:47,306
Speaker 1: Where are you guys enrollment all the stuff? And then sure,

315
00:16:47,906 --> 00:16:49,346
Speaker 1: what has this done for the program?

316
00:16:49,426 --> 00:16:52,746
Speaker 3: Yeah? Our address is West Virginia. The campus sits right

317
00:16:52,786 --> 00:16:56,266
Speaker 3: on the banks of the Potomac River. We're literally from

318
00:16:56,386 --> 00:16:58,386
Speaker 3: one end of a football field to the other end

319
00:16:58,426 --> 00:17:01,026
Speaker 3: of the football field from the state of Maryland. We're

320
00:17:01,306 --> 00:17:03,906
Speaker 3: hour and fifteen minutes out of Washington, DC and hour

321
00:17:03,946 --> 00:17:07,346
Speaker 3: and fifteen minutes out of Baltimore. So we are able

322
00:17:07,386 --> 00:17:11,106
Speaker 3: to recruit as you're probably familiar with the DMV. Yeah,

323
00:17:11,146 --> 00:17:14,626
Speaker 3: we recruited from Richmond to Baltimore off that ninety five corridor.

324
00:17:15,186 --> 00:17:17,666
Speaker 3: And we want to recruit in state to be especially

325
00:17:17,746 --> 00:17:22,506
Speaker 3: locally in state. And we've had a lot of opportunities

326
00:17:22,506 --> 00:17:27,106
Speaker 3: to track some really good football players along with Tyson Beaging.

327
00:17:27,226 --> 00:17:30,466
Speaker 3: You know, we've had some really guys that have gone

328
00:17:30,506 --> 00:17:34,426
Speaker 3: on and done some really good things playing at the

329
00:17:34,506 --> 00:17:38,746
Speaker 3: next level, but nobody has had quite the first game

330
00:17:38,826 --> 00:17:41,986
Speaker 3: like Tyson had on Saturday versus the Raiders.

331
00:17:42,386 --> 00:17:44,906
Speaker 1: And no one is invited to the Senior Bowl, and

332
00:17:44,946 --> 00:17:47,386
Speaker 1: you had multiple guys invited to the Senior Bowl last year,

333
00:17:47,386 --> 00:17:48,906
Speaker 1: and I know you were there and you brought a

334
00:17:48,906 --> 00:17:52,506
Speaker 1: whole cast of guys down there to Mobile. We'll go

335
00:17:52,626 --> 00:17:55,066
Speaker 1: backwards and start from the start with Jijan, but I

336
00:17:55,106 --> 00:17:57,666
Speaker 1: think just just that experience when you go to the

337
00:17:57,706 --> 00:18:00,506
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl out of Division two school and Jim Nagy,

338
00:18:00,506 --> 00:18:02,906
Speaker 1: who runs that thing, gives you guys the call. I

339
00:18:02,946 --> 00:18:04,226
Speaker 1: loved it because I heard it. I was listening to

340
00:18:04,266 --> 00:18:06,586
Speaker 1: an interview I do my reaching for the podcast. You

341
00:18:06,626 --> 00:18:09,186
Speaker 1: had about four different coaches with you. Guys were finding

342
00:18:09,186 --> 00:18:12,466
Speaker 1: your way to the field. You're going to support your guy, Yeah,

343
00:18:12,506 --> 00:18:13,986
Speaker 1: did you have any doubt that he would be able

344
00:18:14,026 --> 00:18:15,946
Speaker 1: to light it up and do just fine against that

345
00:18:15,986 --> 00:18:16,746
Speaker 1: Division one talent?

346
00:18:16,786 --> 00:18:18,346
Speaker 3: Well, I got to tell you a story about when

347
00:18:18,386 --> 00:18:23,186
Speaker 3: Jim Naggy called me. Right. So, I'm sitting right here

348
00:18:23,186 --> 00:18:25,706
Speaker 3: in my office, it's probably eight or nine o'clock at night,

349
00:18:26,426 --> 00:18:28,746
Speaker 3: and you know what, I take it back. It was

350
00:18:28,826 --> 00:18:31,866
Speaker 3: the call for Joey Fisher, the second guy to get

351
00:18:31,906 --> 00:18:35,906
Speaker 3: called up. So I see this Arizona phone number and

352
00:18:35,946 --> 00:18:38,706
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, man, it's probably Scout wanting to come to practice.

353
00:18:39,146 --> 00:18:40,906
Speaker 3: So I get him a call back. He goes, Hey,

354
00:18:41,946 --> 00:18:44,466
Speaker 3: he said this, Jim Naggy is Senior Bowl coach. I

355
00:18:44,506 --> 00:18:47,106
Speaker 3: just wanted to tell you we're going to invite Joey

356
00:18:47,106 --> 00:18:51,586
Speaker 3: Fisher to join Tyson Baiging at the Senior Bowl. And

357
00:18:51,666 --> 00:18:53,346
Speaker 3: he goes, just so you know, this will be the

358
00:18:53,386 --> 00:18:55,626
Speaker 3: first time in the history we think of the Senior

359
00:18:55,626 --> 00:18:58,786
Speaker 3: Bowl that will have had two Division two players from

360
00:18:58,826 --> 00:19:03,386
Speaker 3: the same team being playing the same game. And so

361
00:19:03,506 --> 00:19:07,066
Speaker 3: then he kind of he said, I kind of took

362
00:19:07,106 --> 00:19:08,706
Speaker 3: it all in and I said, you know, Jim, you're

363
00:19:08,706 --> 00:19:10,826
Speaker 3: gonna make me have to come to this game. Yeah,

364
00:19:11,586 --> 00:19:13,706
Speaker 3: and then he was like, You're not gonna come just

365
00:19:13,826 --> 00:19:16,546
Speaker 3: for Tyson. And then I thought about how bad that

366
00:19:16,666 --> 00:19:20,906
Speaker 3: sounded on you too, and yeah, I mean it takes two.

367
00:19:20,986 --> 00:19:24,626
Speaker 3: You got to take two of my guys, and that's

368
00:19:24,666 --> 00:19:28,066
Speaker 3: not true. But so I was really excited at that point,

369
00:19:28,226 --> 00:19:30,306
Speaker 3: and I thought, Jim Naggy, you know, if you think

370
00:19:30,346 --> 00:19:34,386
Speaker 3: about Tyson's kind of climb. Uh, he took the first

371
00:19:34,426 --> 00:19:37,706
Speaker 3: real shot on Tyson Baging given him an opportunity to

372
00:19:37,746 --> 00:19:39,746
Speaker 3: play in the Senior Bowl. You know, there's a lot

373
00:19:39,746 --> 00:19:42,586
Speaker 3: of great quarterbacks out there. He went out on a

374
00:19:42,626 --> 00:19:45,586
Speaker 3: limb and took a Division two guy, and I think

375
00:19:45,626 --> 00:19:48,786
Speaker 3: Tyson played extremely well in that game. Uh, it was

376
00:19:49,026 --> 00:19:50,186
Speaker 3: it was a lot of fun. We're sitting in the

377
00:19:50,186 --> 00:19:53,146
Speaker 3: staff meeting. We're a low budget football team, Pier all right,

378
00:19:53,226 --> 00:19:57,066
Speaker 3: So where we're in the staff meeting and we we

379
00:19:57,226 --> 00:20:00,986
Speaker 3: have some recruiting things going on, and I tell I

380
00:20:01,026 --> 00:20:03,386
Speaker 3: tell our coaches like, Hey, I'm going to go to

381
00:20:03,386 --> 00:20:05,506
Speaker 3: the Senior Bowl, but I'm going to drive. So we

382
00:20:05,586 --> 00:20:11,786
Speaker 3: drove Westford, Gia to Mobile, right and I said, we'll

383
00:20:11,786 --> 00:20:14,226
Speaker 3: pay the football pay for the hotel room and the

384
00:20:14,226 --> 00:20:16,546
Speaker 3: rental car. You guys are on your own for your

385
00:20:16,586 --> 00:20:20,946
Speaker 3: meals and drinks. And we had five people volunteer, so

386
00:20:20,986 --> 00:20:24,026
Speaker 3: we loaded up in the suv. We made the trip

387
00:20:24,106 --> 00:20:27,666
Speaker 3: down to Mobile and of course being able to watch

388
00:20:27,746 --> 00:20:31,786
Speaker 3: Tyson practice on the field there at South Alabama with

389
00:20:31,866 --> 00:20:35,506
Speaker 3: all the other guys. That was awesome. And it was

390
00:20:35,866 --> 00:20:37,906
Speaker 3: the Senior Bowl, I think is one of the greatest

391
00:20:37,906 --> 00:20:40,826
Speaker 3: events you could be a part of. And that may

392
00:20:40,826 --> 00:20:43,466
Speaker 3: have been as a proud of moment I had having

393
00:20:43,466 --> 00:20:46,346
Speaker 3: a chance to see Mike get our guy, our guy,

394
00:20:47,066 --> 00:20:50,066
Speaker 3: and the Senior Bowl represent Sheppard University with the ram

395
00:20:50,106 --> 00:20:53,066
Speaker 3: Horns on and playing what I think is the most

396
00:20:53,106 --> 00:20:55,106
Speaker 3: prestigious college All Star game there is.

397
00:20:55,386 --> 00:20:58,386
Speaker 1: Oh, it absolutely is. Let's go way back, though, because

398
00:20:59,146 --> 00:21:02,146
Speaker 1: it's not a necessarily it's it's a great Division two program,

399
00:21:02,146 --> 00:21:04,506
Speaker 1: but it's not an NFL hotbed. So you're the coach

400
00:21:04,546 --> 00:21:09,106
Speaker 1: here when you start recruiting Tyson out of what's the

401
00:21:09,146 --> 00:21:09,826
Speaker 1: town he's from.

402
00:21:09,866 --> 00:21:12,866
Speaker 3: It's in West Virginia, Martinsburg High School, and here in

403
00:21:12,866 --> 00:21:14,706
Speaker 3: West Virginia about seven miles.

404
00:21:14,426 --> 00:21:16,906
Speaker 1: Away, so it's close. It's in your backyard. He's probably

405
00:21:16,906 --> 00:21:19,506
Speaker 1: this high school star. Like, how's that recruitment process going?

406
00:21:19,586 --> 00:21:21,386
Speaker 1: Did you know when he was a junior and senior

407
00:21:21,426 --> 00:21:23,066
Speaker 1: that this kid could have a future.

408
00:21:22,866 --> 00:21:26,506
Speaker 3: Absolutely even better than that. I've known. I've watched Tyson

409
00:21:26,546 --> 00:21:30,026
Speaker 3: grow up. Our families go to church together, and I

410
00:21:30,066 --> 00:21:32,626
Speaker 3: will tell you from the time he played for the

411
00:21:32,706 --> 00:21:37,546
Speaker 3: Charlestown Razorbacks. Okay, I'd be sitting in the pew, him

412
00:21:37,586 --> 00:21:39,786
Speaker 3: and his dad would walk by, w we're going up

413
00:21:39,826 --> 00:21:42,986
Speaker 3: for communion, and he would nudge me he's going to

414
00:21:43,026 --> 00:21:44,986
Speaker 3: be the man at Shepherd one day. You know, if

415
00:21:44,986 --> 00:21:48,146
Speaker 3: you get a chance to talk to Travis, he'll tell you.

416
00:21:48,386 --> 00:21:50,266
Speaker 3: And one time he told what he used to tell me,

417
00:21:50,586 --> 00:21:53,306
Speaker 3: You're going to build a bronze statue of Tyson one day,

418
00:21:53,386 --> 00:21:56,546
Speaker 3: and of course you're in church, You're like, hey, that's awesome.

419
00:21:56,626 --> 00:21:57,226
Speaker 3: Maybe great.

420
00:21:57,426 --> 00:21:59,706
Speaker 1: You know, you know he's ten years old, eleven years

421
00:21:59,746 --> 00:22:01,266
Speaker 1: old at the time. Yeah, he was.

422
00:22:01,226 --> 00:22:04,146
Speaker 3: Probably eleven years old and just slinging around Charlestown and

423
00:22:04,186 --> 00:22:07,426
Speaker 3: everything like that. But you know, having known their family

424
00:22:07,666 --> 00:22:12,346
Speaker 3: and watch Tyson grow up, he is a special, special

425
00:22:12,426 --> 00:22:15,946
Speaker 3: person man. He is something I just can't say enough

426
00:22:15,946 --> 00:22:18,426
Speaker 3: great things about him as a human being. I mean,

427
00:22:18,626 --> 00:22:21,586
Speaker 3: just as a man. We're going through the recruiting process

428
00:22:22,386 --> 00:22:25,186
Speaker 3: and you know, I knew that he was a division

429
00:22:25,186 --> 00:22:29,426
Speaker 3: I thought he was a division one guy FBS, and

430
00:22:30,586 --> 00:22:33,466
Speaker 3: we're kind of going through it. I'm thinking he's going

431
00:22:33,546 --> 00:22:36,546
Speaker 3: to get something. But if he doesn't get something, you know,

432
00:22:36,586 --> 00:22:38,306
Speaker 3: he'll have a spot with us if this is what

433
00:22:38,346 --> 00:22:42,586
Speaker 3: he wants. And the only offers he really got were

434
00:22:42,786 --> 00:22:46,906
Speaker 3: SCS offers. He got an FCF Albany and I want

435
00:22:46,906 --> 00:22:50,146
Speaker 3: to say Robert Morris and some other D two's and

436
00:22:50,186 --> 00:22:53,866
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Well, in twenty fifteen we played for

437
00:22:53,906 --> 00:22:57,866
Speaker 3: a national championship, and so I think he just looked

438
00:22:57,866 --> 00:23:00,306
Speaker 3: at it and said, hey, I get a chance to

439
00:23:00,386 --> 00:23:04,226
Speaker 3: stay at home play highly competitive football at the Division

440
00:23:04,266 --> 00:23:06,306
Speaker 3: two level. I get a chance playing in front of

441
00:23:06,586 --> 00:23:09,986
Speaker 3: family and friends. Like his grandfather, God Rest his soul

442
00:23:10,026 --> 00:23:12,546
Speaker 3: passed away last year, was really close to him. He

443
00:23:12,826 --> 00:23:15,426
Speaker 3: would sit in the stands and watch practice. His dad

444
00:23:15,506 --> 00:23:18,866
Speaker 3: would come and watch practices. I mean, it's just a

445
00:23:19,026 --> 00:23:23,466
Speaker 3: family affair here for the beagents at Shepherd University playing

446
00:23:23,466 --> 00:23:27,826
Speaker 3: football here and Tyson, I can tell you he'd sent

447
00:23:27,866 --> 00:23:30,706
Speaker 3: me a text. I texted him after the game this

448
00:23:30,786 --> 00:23:33,546
Speaker 3: weekend and he and I said, hey, man, we're proud

449
00:23:33,546 --> 00:23:36,186
Speaker 3: of you. We watched the game as a team, and

450
00:23:36,266 --> 00:23:38,866
Speaker 3: he goes, he said, hey, thanks to a support coach

451
00:23:38,906 --> 00:23:43,266
Speaker 3: really appreciated. I love Shepherd football, you know. And it

452
00:23:43,386 --> 00:23:45,666
Speaker 3: was just like here's a guy playing at a high level,

453
00:23:46,306 --> 00:23:49,706
Speaker 3: achieving some of the goals that you know, dreams, dreams

454
00:23:49,706 --> 00:23:52,626
Speaker 3: that we all have, and he still has love for

455
00:23:52,706 --> 00:23:55,666
Speaker 3: this program that he was a part of and an

456
00:23:55,666 --> 00:23:59,506
Speaker 3: instrumental part of where we are today. So that, I mean,

457
00:23:59,546 --> 00:24:01,666
Speaker 3: that was that was kind of a cool deal.

458
00:24:01,906 --> 00:24:03,826
Speaker 1: When you get when you get this guy in there,

459
00:24:03,866 --> 00:24:06,106
Speaker 1: he come like, give me some of the exploits, because

460
00:24:06,426 --> 00:24:09,626
Speaker 1: how you get to the Paul Bunyan tall tail. Was

461
00:24:09,666 --> 00:24:11,546
Speaker 1: it just all right, here we go. This is Steve

462
00:24:11,586 --> 00:24:14,266
Speaker 1: McNair at Alcorn or one of these types of guys

463
00:24:13,666 --> 00:24:16,426
Speaker 1: at a different level of school. Just tear it up

464
00:24:16,466 --> 00:24:16,946
Speaker 1: the league.

465
00:24:17,066 --> 00:24:20,106
Speaker 3: Well, you know what his first game it was against

466
00:24:20,106 --> 00:24:23,946
Speaker 3: Nerdame College. Okay, it was a true freshman and Julia McLoughlin,

467
00:24:23,986 --> 00:24:25,626
Speaker 3: the running back at with the Broncos.

468
00:24:25,706 --> 00:24:28,706
Speaker 1: Right now goes yeah, Youngstown State, sure, Well before.

469
00:24:28,426 --> 00:24:31,866
Speaker 3: That he was at Nerdame College. Him and Tyson, both

470
00:24:31,906 --> 00:24:34,946
Speaker 3: their college stars, were in the same game. I think

471
00:24:35,026 --> 00:24:38,546
Speaker 3: Julil rushed for almost three hundred yards. Tyson threw for

472
00:24:38,626 --> 00:24:42,266
Speaker 3: five hundred yards. Two guys that right now are are

473
00:24:42,506 --> 00:24:45,106
Speaker 3: up and coming guys are had shows some things in

474
00:24:45,146 --> 00:24:49,506
Speaker 3: the NFL. When recruiting Tyson, I can tell you his dad.

475
00:24:49,866 --> 00:24:50,786
Speaker 3: His dad's hardcore.

476
00:24:50,866 --> 00:24:54,386
Speaker 1: Now his dad is arm wrestling champion, the arm.

477
00:24:54,346 --> 00:24:57,706
Speaker 3: Wrestling champion, the whole deal. Yeah, we're going through the

478
00:24:57,746 --> 00:25:00,626
Speaker 3: process of the recruiting before he commits to US. I

479
00:25:00,626 --> 00:25:02,146
Speaker 3: told you I go to church with him. Here's a

480
00:25:02,186 --> 00:25:05,346
Speaker 3: fun story for you. So Christmas Eve, my family and

481
00:25:05,346 --> 00:25:09,026
Speaker 3: I were getting late. Okay, so there's only a couple

482
00:25:09,026 --> 00:25:11,466
Speaker 3: of seats in the back of the church right and

483
00:25:11,546 --> 00:25:14,506
Speaker 3: my family and I slide into the pew, and of

484
00:25:14,546 --> 00:25:17,466
Speaker 3: course I'm I'm a football coach, and I want to

485
00:25:17,466 --> 00:25:20,786
Speaker 3: recruit Tysonvaging even on Christmas Eve at church all right,

486
00:25:21,146 --> 00:25:23,066
Speaker 3: because he's he was an All state player, He's the

487
00:25:23,066 --> 00:25:26,666
Speaker 3: best player in state West Virginia. And so I'm looking around.

488
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:29,546
Speaker 3: I'm looking for where he's at, where he normally sits,

489
00:25:29,586 --> 00:25:31,946
Speaker 3: the whole deal. And then I look up, you know,

490
00:25:31,946 --> 00:25:34,586
Speaker 3: we're up for a hymnal and I see where him

491
00:25:34,586 --> 00:25:37,266
Speaker 3: and his dad are sitting. And then I see right

492
00:25:37,266 --> 00:25:40,386
Speaker 3: behind the pew is empty. There's nobody sitting in the

493
00:25:40,426 --> 00:25:43,946
Speaker 3: pew right behind him. So without even I didn't try

494
00:25:43,986 --> 00:25:46,066
Speaker 3: and even tell my wife anything, I just walked out

495
00:25:46,106 --> 00:25:46,626
Speaker 3: of arm keew.

496
00:25:47,066 --> 00:25:47,946
Speaker 1: Let's go. Yeah.

497
00:25:47,986 --> 00:25:50,586
Speaker 3: I walked around, went right down the middle of the church,

498
00:25:50,986 --> 00:25:55,626
Speaker 3: and our pastor, our priest, was like, I was wondering

499
00:25:55,626 --> 00:25:58,066
Speaker 3: what you did until you sat down. You know, he goes,

500
00:25:58,106 --> 00:26:00,106
Speaker 3: what the hell? He was probably like, what is Ernie

501
00:26:00,146 --> 00:26:02,506
Speaker 3: doing walking up here to the altar? But no, I

502
00:26:02,586 --> 00:26:05,306
Speaker 3: was walking in. I slid right in behind Tyson and

503
00:26:05,346 --> 00:26:08,626
Speaker 3: his dad, Travis, put my arm around him both, and

504
00:26:08,666 --> 00:26:10,946
Speaker 3: I said, hey, God, meant for us to be together.

505
00:26:12,826 --> 00:26:16,826
Speaker 3: And so then he and so his dad without missing

506
00:26:16,866 --> 00:26:19,306
Speaker 3: a beat, said hey man, it's about time you got here.

507
00:26:19,306 --> 00:26:21,346
Speaker 3: We've been saving that ce for you for twenty minutes.

508
00:26:21,826 --> 00:26:23,866
Speaker 1: Let's go. It's so good.

509
00:26:24,186 --> 00:26:27,026
Speaker 3: That was a lot of fun with that. I tell

510
00:26:27,066 --> 00:26:30,026
Speaker 3: that story quite a bit, so, you know, back to

511
00:26:30,066 --> 00:26:32,786
Speaker 3: the serious part. So Tyson commits. So he signs with

512
00:26:32,866 --> 00:26:36,426
Speaker 3: us his senior year in high school, wearing our spring practices. Right,

513
00:26:36,866 --> 00:26:41,026
Speaker 3: we have fifteen spring practices. Tyson is standing behind the

514
00:26:41,186 --> 00:26:45,586
Speaker 3: offensive huddle for every practice. He would he was at.

515
00:26:45,426 --> 00:26:46,746
Speaker 1: As a high school senior.

516
00:26:47,026 --> 00:26:50,426
Speaker 3: As a high school senior knowing I'm coming to Sheppard University,

517
00:26:50,786 --> 00:26:52,506
Speaker 3: I know I'm going to play and I'm going to

518
00:26:52,586 --> 00:26:55,506
Speaker 3: compete to be the quarterback, and he was taking it

519
00:26:55,546 --> 00:26:58,226
Speaker 3: all in. He was he was doing everything he could

520
00:26:58,306 --> 00:27:01,626
Speaker 3: do to learn, and so he's ready when he would

521
00:27:01,626 --> 00:27:06,226
Speaker 3: get to camp in August. And the guy is absolutely

522
00:27:06,506 --> 00:27:10,786
Speaker 3: nomenal with his work ethic and his competitiveness. He's somebody

523
00:27:10,826 --> 00:27:13,426
Speaker 3: that you know won I can tell you Chicago Bears,

524
00:27:13,826 --> 00:27:16,906
Speaker 3: the fan base, they will be proud that that dude

525
00:27:17,026 --> 00:27:19,546
Speaker 3: is a Bear. He's going to give everything he can

526
00:27:19,586 --> 00:27:22,866
Speaker 3: to help that team win. And I think I told

527
00:27:22,866 --> 00:27:25,786
Speaker 3: somebody else an interview. If he's on their practice squad,

528
00:27:26,306 --> 00:27:29,426
Speaker 3: all right, he's going to give the best look for

529
00:27:29,786 --> 00:27:33,026
Speaker 3: the Justice. He's going to be the best Justin Herbert. Yeah,

530
00:27:33,146 --> 00:27:35,826
Speaker 3: but for this weekend that the Bears defense will see

531
00:27:35,866 --> 00:27:38,946
Speaker 3: and tell you see Justin Herbert, you know. But the

532
00:27:38,986 --> 00:27:41,546
Speaker 3: fact that I think he worked his way into being

533
00:27:41,986 --> 00:27:47,306
Speaker 3: the backup and he prepares like nobody else does. After

534
00:27:47,386 --> 00:27:51,626
Speaker 3: OTA's this year and the summertime we get back. His

535
00:27:51,666 --> 00:27:54,426
Speaker 3: first day back, we were having our program, our team

536
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:57,386
Speaker 3: golf outing, so he played in it. He came and

537
00:27:57,386 --> 00:28:01,546
Speaker 3: played in it with a couple of his teammates and

538
00:28:01,586 --> 00:28:04,506
Speaker 3: my son was who's coaching with us now. He and

539
00:28:04,586 --> 00:28:09,386
Speaker 3: Tyson were roommates. They're really close friends. So he said, hey, Michael,

540
00:28:09,466 --> 00:28:12,026
Speaker 3: I need you to guarantee you'll be with me at

541
00:28:12,026 --> 00:28:15,506
Speaker 3: every workout. So Michael would go to the workouts with him,

542
00:28:15,946 --> 00:28:20,826
Speaker 3: but Peter, they would practice, Michael would read the script

543
00:28:20,906 --> 00:28:24,226
Speaker 3: to him through the cell phone into his ear the

544
00:28:24,306 --> 00:28:27,186
Speaker 3: long play call. He would then be out in the

545
00:28:27,186 --> 00:28:29,626
Speaker 3: middle of our football field in the stadium, just the

546
00:28:29,706 --> 00:28:32,146
Speaker 3: two of them, by himself. He would walk into an

547
00:28:32,146 --> 00:28:35,746
Speaker 3: imaginary huddle, do the play call, walk up to the

548
00:28:35,746 --> 00:28:39,506
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, put people in motion, practice the checks,

549
00:28:39,586 --> 00:28:43,706
Speaker 3: everything like that. He did it in June and July.

550
00:28:43,706 --> 00:28:44,866
Speaker 3: I did it for six weeks.

551
00:28:45,226 --> 00:28:47,146
Speaker 1: So we got one hundred degree weather in the middle

552
00:28:47,186 --> 00:28:51,906
Speaker 1: of West Virginia in July, and your son his former

553
00:28:51,906 --> 00:28:53,346
Speaker 1: wide receiver in his roommate.

554
00:28:53,546 --> 00:28:55,746
Speaker 3: It was a fool back, guy back.

555
00:28:55,666 --> 00:28:57,586
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. Sorry, I'm making up history because I'm

556
00:28:57,586 --> 00:28:59,626
Speaker 1: trying to do the movie script in my head. He

557
00:28:59,626 --> 00:29:02,506
Speaker 1: plays he plays a wide out in the movie. He

558
00:29:02,626 --> 00:29:05,826
Speaker 1: calls on a cell phone from where's your son? Is

559
00:29:05,826 --> 00:29:07,626
Speaker 1: he there with the Is he like in the stands?

560
00:29:07,626 --> 00:29:10,506
Speaker 3: Whereas no, he's standing on the sideline. So just like

561
00:29:10,506 --> 00:29:13,386
Speaker 3: like so he would have a script right now out

562
00:29:13,426 --> 00:29:15,386
Speaker 3: here like this, and he would go.

563
00:29:15,866 --> 00:29:19,146
Speaker 1: As if he has the helmet, oh.

564
00:29:17,906 --> 00:29:19,506
Speaker 3: Yeah, like Deuic's right.

565
00:29:19,946 --> 00:29:23,546
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's reading Luke Getzi's playbook. He's got the Bear's playbook.

566
00:29:23,586 --> 00:29:25,506
Speaker 3: He's got to play a bear's play call. So what

567
00:29:25,626 --> 00:29:31,506
Speaker 3: he's doing is he is simulating the mental preparation of

568
00:29:31,666 --> 00:29:34,026
Speaker 3: the length of a play call, because the play calls

569
00:29:34,066 --> 00:29:35,186
Speaker 3: are unbelievably long.

570
00:29:35,546 --> 00:29:37,666
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, And then like you know, and.

571
00:29:37,666 --> 00:29:40,106
Speaker 3: I'm you know, talking to Tyson and all I'm learning

572
00:29:40,106 --> 00:29:42,666
Speaker 3: a bunch of myself, like the different checks, how they're

573
00:29:42,746 --> 00:29:47,386
Speaker 3: checking things, the things they look for. And but when

574
00:29:47,386 --> 00:29:49,866
Speaker 3: a guy is doing that, think about this one for

575
00:29:49,906 --> 00:29:54,106
Speaker 3: a second. You're an undrafted free agent. You don't even

576
00:29:54,226 --> 00:29:55,786
Speaker 3: know if you're going to make the team.

577
00:29:55,986 --> 00:29:57,746
Speaker 1: You know, unlikely you would, Yeah.

578
00:29:58,186 --> 00:30:03,306
Speaker 3: Especially at the quarterback puisition. He goes and he's doing

579
00:30:03,346 --> 00:30:07,026
Speaker 3: this all summer long. So if my son went to

580
00:30:07,106 --> 00:30:11,466
Speaker 3: the beach on family vacation, they did it by telephone, right,

581
00:30:12,146 --> 00:30:13,146
Speaker 3: And so your son.

582
00:30:13,026 --> 00:30:16,786
Speaker 1: Is at the beach being like a slug o snake, right,

583
00:30:17,226 --> 00:30:19,746
Speaker 1: name call, and Tyson's on an empty field in the

584
00:30:19,786 --> 00:30:22,546
Speaker 1: middle of West Virginia just going through the Yeah.

585
00:30:22,586 --> 00:30:25,546
Speaker 3: And then when Tyson went to the beach, he would

586
00:30:25,546 --> 00:30:27,786
Speaker 3: go probably go out on the beach and practice it,

587
00:30:27,946 --> 00:30:31,866
Speaker 3: through with it. He did this religiously, you know. So

588
00:30:32,026 --> 00:30:36,386
Speaker 3: the guy is a film room junkie. I to you know,

589
00:30:36,586 --> 00:30:38,706
Speaker 3: I read the social media. But one of the one

590
00:30:38,706 --> 00:30:41,866
Speaker 3: of the Chicago stations asked me who I thought he was, Like,

591
00:30:41,906 --> 00:30:43,666
Speaker 3: who do you think you know? And everybody wants you

592
00:30:43,746 --> 00:30:47,586
Speaker 3: to say Tom Brady, They want you to say Brock Party,

593
00:30:47,666 --> 00:30:50,906
Speaker 3: they want you. They want that, right, they want that

594
00:30:51,426 --> 00:30:55,346
Speaker 3: to me. From what I've learned and studying football, Tyson

595
00:30:55,506 --> 00:31:00,986
Speaker 3: beagent is Drew Brees go on because the reputation Drew

596
00:31:01,026 --> 00:31:06,186
Speaker 3: Brees has for the tireless film study, the unbelievable work

597
00:31:06,186 --> 00:31:09,706
Speaker 3: ift that you have to prepare for any situation that

598
00:31:09,786 --> 00:31:13,866
Speaker 3: you get. That's who Tyson Beaging is. He will prepare

599
00:31:14,106 --> 00:31:16,906
Speaker 3: and work. He's going to physically train his body. When

600
00:31:16,946 --> 00:31:21,186
Speaker 3: he talked about shredding life way and crossfitfit, yeah, that's

601
00:31:21,226 --> 00:31:25,186
Speaker 3: one hundred percent accurate. Like, if you're ever in this area,

602
00:31:25,626 --> 00:31:28,866
Speaker 3: you need to come visit Shepard University because behind our

603
00:31:28,946 --> 00:31:32,986
Speaker 3: locker room, his high school history teacher has got it

604
00:31:33,026 --> 00:31:36,906
Speaker 3: lives back there, right, and they have a man cave

605
00:31:37,586 --> 00:31:41,706
Speaker 3: CrossFit training that they do. I mean it's like all natural,

606
00:31:42,266 --> 00:31:44,626
Speaker 3: like you're taking a log and your bench press on

607
00:31:44,666 --> 00:31:47,386
Speaker 3: a log fifty times. Then you're running to the river

608
00:31:47,506 --> 00:31:51,226
Speaker 3: with a weighted backpack and back and this they do.

609
00:31:51,426 --> 00:31:54,746
Speaker 3: That's the kind of stuff he does. They they they

610
00:31:54,826 --> 00:31:57,466
Speaker 3: hollowed out We're right on the banks of the Potomac River.

611
00:31:58,106 --> 00:32:04,586
Speaker 3: Tyson and his roommates hollowed out a stream for to

612
00:32:04,666 --> 00:32:05,906
Speaker 3: make it a cold bath.

613
00:32:06,626 --> 00:32:09,546
Speaker 1: A homemade cold tub, a homemade.

614
00:32:08,986 --> 00:32:12,186
Speaker 3: Cold tub on the Potomac River, and they they would

615
00:32:12,186 --> 00:32:15,986
Speaker 3: go down there in February. I mean, we're not talking

616
00:32:16,066 --> 00:32:19,066
Speaker 3: July where they're pulling off. They're going down there and

617
00:32:19,146 --> 00:32:22,226
Speaker 3: really going through it. I mean, just the things, like

618
00:32:22,266 --> 00:32:23,746
Speaker 3: the natural things that happen.

619
00:32:23,826 --> 00:32:25,626
Speaker 1: Well, even you mentioning that, you know, I'm thinking about

620
00:32:25,626 --> 00:32:28,586
Speaker 1: Alabama and LSU's facilities in the amount of millions, of

621
00:32:29,026 --> 00:32:32,226
Speaker 1: the fact that it's his high school. His high school

622
00:32:32,306 --> 00:32:35,466
Speaker 1: teacher leaves behind the facility and he's I mean, you

623
00:32:35,466 --> 00:32:36,426
Speaker 1: can't make the stuff up.

624
00:32:36,506 --> 00:32:40,586
Speaker 3: You can't. And his high school teacher played basketball here, right, Okay,

625
00:32:41,146 --> 00:32:44,626
Speaker 3: saw the Earth guy just a tremendous person, human being,

626
00:32:45,066 --> 00:32:46,786
Speaker 3: And of course he's a good hope for us to

627
00:32:46,826 --> 00:32:49,746
Speaker 3: have because when you know, we recruit somebody from the

628
00:32:49,786 --> 00:32:52,386
Speaker 3: high school, we're getting inside scoop on them, you know,

629
00:32:52,546 --> 00:32:54,586
Speaker 3: like what kind of with their hearts, like with their

630
00:32:54,746 --> 00:32:57,666
Speaker 3: who they are inside? And you know, of course he

631
00:32:58,026 --> 00:33:00,906
Speaker 3: the guys that we've gotten from Tyson's high school, and

632
00:33:00,986 --> 00:33:05,466
Speaker 3: because of Tyson have been tremendous players for us. But like,

633
00:33:06,026 --> 00:33:09,106
Speaker 3: here's an other thing, how competitive Tyson is? All Right,

634
00:33:09,266 --> 00:33:12,066
Speaker 3: So his junior year, the year he won the Harlan Hill.

635
00:33:12,786 --> 00:33:17,866
Speaker 3: Right after every practice in summer camp, all right, mostly

636
00:33:17,906 --> 00:33:21,666
Speaker 3: of summer camp. You know, we'd be walking off the field.

637
00:33:22,586 --> 00:33:27,226
Speaker 3: Enticon are one of our athlete trainers as a gymnast, right,

638
00:33:27,866 --> 00:33:30,666
Speaker 3: and they would have a competition, who on who could

639
00:33:30,666 --> 00:33:34,146
Speaker 3: walk on their hands the farthest, and they were doing

640
00:33:34,266 --> 00:33:38,146
Speaker 3: fifty to seventy five yards walking on their hands. I

641
00:33:38,146 --> 00:33:41,546
Speaker 3: mean literally, I wish I had video of it, you know.

642
00:33:41,586 --> 00:33:43,586
Speaker 3: And I'm just sitting there thinking, and I can't tell

643
00:33:43,586 --> 00:33:47,946
Speaker 3: the dude stop because he's just competitive. He's not gonna

644
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:49,986
Speaker 3: you know, no, I'm not gonna let her beat me.

645
00:33:50,426 --> 00:33:53,466
Speaker 3: And you know, but she's now an athlete trainer in

646
00:33:53,506 --> 00:33:56,226
Speaker 3: another school. When we talked about it before the game. So,

647
00:33:56,346 --> 00:33:58,626
Speaker 3: but that's who the kid is. I mean he is.

648
00:33:58,666 --> 00:34:02,986
Speaker 3: He is a special guy. He's as grounded as grounded

649
00:34:03,066 --> 00:34:07,226
Speaker 3: could be. He has an impeccable work ethic. He you know,

650
00:34:07,346 --> 00:34:09,546
Speaker 3: not only was he the best player on our football

651
00:34:09,586 --> 00:34:13,426
Speaker 3: team for five years, he was the best teammate, the

652
00:34:13,466 --> 00:34:18,106
Speaker 3: best teammate. You could have never wanted anything extra. You know,

653
00:34:18,266 --> 00:34:23,226
Speaker 3: he threw he threw a milestone touchdown, right and we're

654
00:34:23,266 --> 00:34:27,706
Speaker 3: at Millersville University and he goes, he comes up to me,

655
00:34:27,786 --> 00:34:31,226
Speaker 3: he goes, and this is his junior year. He goes, coach,

656
00:34:31,826 --> 00:34:36,106
Speaker 3: that was like hundred touchdown passed. He goes, can I

657
00:34:36,146 --> 00:34:36,866
Speaker 3: have the game ball?

658
00:34:37,306 --> 00:34:38,266
Speaker 1: You know, first time, right?

659
00:34:39,586 --> 00:34:41,826
Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, you can have whatever you want, tyson,

660
00:34:41,866 --> 00:34:43,146
Speaker 3: but do me a favorite. Just give it to the

661
00:34:43,186 --> 00:34:44,946
Speaker 3: manager to give to your dad, because I don't want

662
00:34:44,946 --> 00:34:47,306
Speaker 3: to draw a lot of attention to giving game balls

663
00:34:47,306 --> 00:34:48,986
Speaker 3: away because they're seventy millonuns apiece.

664
00:34:49,386 --> 00:34:52,026
Speaker 1: You know, we need that money.

665
00:34:53,466 --> 00:34:53,746
Speaker 3: Man.

666
00:34:54,386 --> 00:34:55,106
Speaker 1: That's so good.

667
00:34:55,986 --> 00:34:58,546
Speaker 3: And then that night his dad sent me a video

668
00:34:58,586 --> 00:35:01,266
Speaker 3: of him giving that game ball to his grandfather who's

669
00:35:01,306 --> 00:35:03,746
Speaker 3: passed away. He was really close to him.

670
00:35:04,026 --> 00:35:08,466
Speaker 1: Jeez, I'm gonna cry. That's amazing. The on the field exploits,

671
00:35:08,626 --> 00:35:11,226
Speaker 1: I mean, the leadership stuff, that's all off the charts. Yeah,

672
00:35:11,426 --> 00:35:13,386
Speaker 1: was this guy tearing up the vision two I you know,

673
00:35:13,426 --> 00:35:15,786
Speaker 1: obviously we started seeing footage, the grainy footage, and we

674
00:35:15,826 --> 00:35:17,826
Speaker 1: don't even know the start of it. You lived it.

675
00:35:17,946 --> 00:35:19,586
Speaker 1: What was it like having him as your quarterback? And

676
00:35:19,586 --> 00:35:20,506
Speaker 1: what kind of stuff did he do?

677
00:35:20,706 --> 00:35:24,266
Speaker 3: Well? This is a story I'd like to tell. His

678
00:35:24,386 --> 00:35:27,266
Speaker 3: freshman year as the starter. All Right, we're playing the

679
00:35:27,346 --> 00:35:31,906
Speaker 3: last game of the season. We're seven and two, and

680
00:35:32,186 --> 00:35:34,986
Speaker 3: we end up losing the game. All right, And you

681
00:35:34,986 --> 00:35:37,706
Speaker 3: know we're in a small stadium. You can hear people

682
00:35:37,746 --> 00:35:40,746
Speaker 3: heckling you. You can hear people giving you grief. People

683
00:35:40,746 --> 00:35:43,906
Speaker 3: are yelling at the quarterback. You know, you know he's

684
00:35:43,946 --> 00:35:45,786
Speaker 3: taking a sack. I'm wondering why he didnt get rid of

685
00:35:45,826 --> 00:35:47,986
Speaker 3: the ball, Like, what'd you see? Because Coach, that was

686
00:35:48,026 --> 00:35:52,266
Speaker 3: on me. We couldn't run the football through this whole time.

687
00:35:52,506 --> 00:35:57,066
Speaker 3: Everybody's pointing fingers. But one guy, Tyson Beaging. He is

688
00:35:57,106 --> 00:36:01,186
Speaker 3: a team first guy. He'll own everything that happens to

689
00:36:01,306 --> 00:36:04,186
Speaker 3: the team and put it on his shoulders, his back.

690
00:36:04,746 --> 00:36:07,146
Speaker 3: And I realized that that's the kind of we have

691
00:36:07,266 --> 00:36:10,106
Speaker 3: to go and put the best players around them we

692
00:36:10,146 --> 00:36:13,186
Speaker 3: possibly can. And that was our goal from there on out.

693
00:36:13,506 --> 00:36:15,986
Speaker 3: Make sure he had the receivers that he needed, the

694
00:36:17,106 --> 00:36:19,626
Speaker 3: O line that We tried to do everything we could

695
00:36:19,666 --> 00:36:22,786
Speaker 3: do to build that team. Every team we've had since

696
00:36:22,866 --> 00:36:27,146
Speaker 3: his freshman year around Tyson Baigent and his strengths and

697
00:36:27,186 --> 00:36:30,506
Speaker 3: what he could do. And I thought we did a

698
00:36:30,506 --> 00:36:32,786
Speaker 3: pretty good job of that. We were able to win

699
00:36:32,826 --> 00:36:35,866
Speaker 3: a lot of all games. He broke a lot of records,

700
00:36:36,386 --> 00:36:39,786
Speaker 3: and he's done with multiple receivers. The guy has an

701
00:36:39,906 --> 00:36:44,066
Speaker 3: uncanny ability to make people around them better. We had

702
00:36:44,066 --> 00:36:48,786
Speaker 3: a receiver going from his freshman year had eight catches

703
00:36:49,386 --> 00:36:52,506
Speaker 3: to ninety nine catches the next year because he worked

704
00:36:52,546 --> 00:36:55,826
Speaker 3: all summer with Tyson Baging and they had a great

705
00:36:55,906 --> 00:37:00,986
Speaker 3: connection together. So going it's a ninety catch difference because

706
00:37:01,026 --> 00:37:03,986
Speaker 3: Tyson believed in them, and he believed in Tyson and

707
00:37:04,026 --> 00:37:07,106
Speaker 3: they were on the same page. I mean, want just

708
00:37:07,186 --> 00:37:11,546
Speaker 3: one of many examples he made. He made alignment better,

709
00:37:11,866 --> 00:37:14,666
Speaker 3: he made running backs better, he made tight ends better,

710
00:37:14,786 --> 00:37:18,426
Speaker 3: wide receivers better, he made our defense better, the whole deal.

711
00:37:18,866 --> 00:37:20,866
Speaker 3: And it's all game to him too, Like it's a

712
00:37:20,946 --> 00:37:24,826
Speaker 3: competitive everything's a competitive game. We do a blitz pick up, right,

713
00:37:25,386 --> 00:37:27,746
Speaker 3: We do like to start practice off once a week

714
00:37:27,786 --> 00:37:30,546
Speaker 3: and a blitz pickup. And he just would love to

715
00:37:30,586 --> 00:37:31,586
Speaker 3: do the dummy cases.

716
00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:32,426
Speaker 1: Get me in there.

717
00:37:32,706 --> 00:37:35,266
Speaker 3: Yeah, he went, he put, he would go, I would

718
00:37:35,306 --> 00:37:36,906
Speaker 3: stay up, he standing right next to him, go ready,

719
00:37:38,226 --> 00:37:40,146
Speaker 3: and then he would look at and go, ah, there

720
00:37:40,186 --> 00:37:44,306
Speaker 3: you are, Mike, Mike six, Mike six, and you know,

721
00:37:44,466 --> 00:37:47,146
Speaker 3: and but it was a it was a challenge for

722
00:37:47,266 --> 00:37:51,386
Speaker 3: him that every challenge he wants that he'll he'll accept.

723
00:37:51,626 --> 00:37:55,266
Speaker 1: All right, So we go to the draft process. Senior

724
00:37:55,306 --> 00:37:58,466
Speaker 1: Bowl is amazing, he plays well, he's with you know,

725
00:37:58,586 --> 00:38:00,866
Speaker 1: he's in front of the Bears staff gets he's there,

726
00:38:00,946 --> 00:38:03,186
Speaker 1: all this stuff. But then the draft comes along and

727
00:38:03,226 --> 00:38:05,266
Speaker 1: he goes undrafted. Was that a great disappointment? Were you

728
00:38:05,306 --> 00:38:07,346
Speaker 1: guys surprised? And I'm sure sure you spoke to thirty

729
00:38:07,346 --> 00:38:08,306
Speaker 1: two NFL teams.

730
00:38:08,586 --> 00:38:11,746
Speaker 3: You know what, I'll tell you what our tackle who's

731
00:38:12,186 --> 00:38:15,346
Speaker 3: on the practice squad with the Steelers, Joey Fisher. Yeah,

732
00:38:15,386 --> 00:38:19,946
Speaker 3: and that after that draft happened, I mean immediately after

733
00:38:19,986 --> 00:38:22,186
Speaker 3: it ended, I said, if these two, either one of

734
00:38:22,186 --> 00:38:24,066
Speaker 3: these two guys don't get drafted, we'll never get in

735
00:38:24,146 --> 00:38:27,346
Speaker 3: by drafted. Yeah, and that that's really how I feel.

736
00:38:27,786 --> 00:38:30,146
Speaker 3: But I also understand, like when you get to the

737
00:38:30,226 --> 00:38:33,346
Speaker 3: later rounds, the sixth and seventh round, sometimes you're better

738
00:38:33,386 --> 00:38:35,666
Speaker 3: being a free agent because you get a chance to

739
00:38:35,746 --> 00:38:39,066
Speaker 3: pick you and your agent picked the best spot for you.

740
00:38:39,746 --> 00:38:44,306
Speaker 3: And that's what happened. You know, I think we're we're awful.

741
00:38:44,426 --> 00:38:48,466
Speaker 3: We're fortunate that Tyson didn't get drafted, was able to

742
00:38:48,506 --> 00:38:51,546
Speaker 3: sign that free agent deal with the Bears because he

743
00:38:52,146 --> 00:38:55,306
Speaker 3: seems to be in the right place at the right time. Obviously,

744
00:38:55,426 --> 00:38:58,546
Speaker 3: luketzk the Bears offensive staff knew who he was from

745
00:38:58,586 --> 00:39:02,546
Speaker 3: the Senior Bowl, had confidence in him, and you know,

746
00:39:02,586 --> 00:39:04,146
Speaker 3: I just think he's in I think he's in a

747
00:39:04,146 --> 00:39:04,666
Speaker 3: good spot.

748
00:39:05,186 --> 00:39:07,986
Speaker 1: Yeah. And to take it full circle, in a couple

749
00:39:07,986 --> 00:39:11,226
Speaker 1: of days, Chris Collinsworth and Mike Turrico are going to

750
00:39:11,266 --> 00:39:12,946
Speaker 1: be saying his name and calling it. I mean, is

751
00:39:12,986 --> 00:39:15,706
Speaker 1: this not surreal? That that that that a year ago

752
00:39:15,706 --> 00:39:17,346
Speaker 1: at this time he was playing with you guys going

753
00:39:17,426 --> 00:39:20,466
Speaker 1: up against Bloomsburg, and now he's got you know, Joey

754
00:39:20,506 --> 00:39:23,706
Speaker 1: Bosa and Khalil Mack and Derwin James staring down at

755
00:39:23,786 --> 00:39:25,706
Speaker 1: him with Tarico and Collinsworth on the call.

756
00:39:25,946 --> 00:39:27,906
Speaker 3: Well, like I told you, I got a chance to

757
00:39:27,946 --> 00:39:30,426
Speaker 3: watch the first half. You know, we did it as

758
00:39:30,426 --> 00:39:33,586
Speaker 3: a team and before we started our team meeting and

759
00:39:34,266 --> 00:39:37,346
Speaker 3: on Sunday, And I can tell you when I watched

760
00:39:37,386 --> 00:39:40,386
Speaker 3: that game, I kept finding out where Crosby was. I

761
00:39:40,466 --> 00:39:41,906
Speaker 3: was like, because I didn't want that dude to get

762
00:39:41,946 --> 00:39:42,986
Speaker 3: a free shot on my guy.

763
00:39:43,586 --> 00:39:43,826
Speaker 2: Yeah.

764
00:39:44,426 --> 00:39:46,186
Speaker 3: Man, I was really impressed with the Bear So I

765
00:39:46,186 --> 00:39:48,626
Speaker 3: thought they did a great job. I thought, you know,

766
00:39:48,866 --> 00:39:52,826
Speaker 3: they Tyson handled his role the right way. The running

767
00:39:52,866 --> 00:39:55,746
Speaker 3: game that they had. Uh, the one catch that I

768
00:39:55,746 --> 00:39:57,826
Speaker 3: thought it was DJ Moore had it was a ball

769
00:39:57,866 --> 00:40:00,866
Speaker 3: that was kind of sailing on Tys. I thought that

770
00:40:01,106 --> 00:40:04,826

778
00:40:24,386 --> 00:40:26,786
Speaker 1: Tyson has brought as far as the national spotlight goes

779
00:40:27,026 --> 00:40:28,746
Speaker 1: with some of the great stuff that you guys are doing.

780
00:40:28,786 --> 00:40:30,466
Speaker 1: Because this isn't a flash in the pen. You guys

781
00:40:30,506 --> 00:40:33,346
Speaker 1: are winning, franchise, winning program. It happened for years.

782
00:40:33,706 --> 00:40:36,706
Speaker 3: Shepherd is a special place. We can really attract a

783
00:40:36,746 --> 00:40:39,826
Speaker 3: lot of really good players to come to Shepherd because

784
00:40:39,866 --> 00:40:43,266
Speaker 3: of the culture of our program. You know, we battled

785
00:40:43,306 --> 00:40:47,426
Speaker 3: the portal and division one offers with both Joey and Tyson,

786
00:40:48,066 --> 00:40:50,266
Speaker 3: and you know, I know it's my job to create

787
00:40:50,306 --> 00:40:52,826
Speaker 3: a culture where guys don't feel they have to leave.

788
00:40:53,346 --> 00:40:56,866
Speaker 3: They only can leave if it's a much better situation

789
00:40:57,026 --> 00:41:00,226
Speaker 3: for him. But you know when I want to you know,

790
00:41:00,266 --> 00:41:03,386
Speaker 3: we just had homecoming last weekend, and when you get

791
00:41:03,426 --> 00:41:05,466
Speaker 3: a chance to look at all the former players that

792
00:41:05,546 --> 00:41:08,706
Speaker 3: come back that you've had opportunity to coach, you realize

793
00:41:08,746 --> 00:41:12,266
Speaker 3: that we just have a really good spot here where

794
00:41:12,666 --> 00:41:16,226
Speaker 3: football is important to our administration. Football is important to

795
00:41:16,306 --> 00:41:21,226
Speaker 3: the local area. We get tremendous support, like our environment

796
00:41:21,306 --> 00:41:23,626
Speaker 3: for our home football game as the two greatest days

797
00:41:23,626 --> 00:41:26,026
Speaker 3: on our campus our graduation in a home football game

798
00:41:26,386 --> 00:41:30,386
Speaker 3: and graduations number two. So I mean, it's it's an

799
00:41:30,386 --> 00:41:32,866
Speaker 3: exciting day on our campus when we play at home,

800
00:41:33,426 --> 00:41:36,906
Speaker 3: and we have a tremendous fan base. We have a

801
00:41:37,266 --> 00:41:41,386
Speaker 3: unbelievable access to a lot of really good players within

802
00:41:41,426 --> 00:41:43,506
Speaker 3: a two and a half hour raineus of our campus,

803
00:41:44,106 --> 00:41:46,466
Speaker 3: And you know, it's fun for me and I think

804
00:41:46,466 --> 00:41:50,586
Speaker 3: our coaches to work somewhere and coach the game where

805
00:41:50,586 --> 00:41:51,986
Speaker 3: it's important to a lot of people.

806
00:41:52,306 --> 00:41:54,786
Speaker 1: You got Bloomsburg this weekend. Give us a little preview

807
00:41:54,786 --> 00:41:56,426
Speaker 1: on the season with Peter Schreger. We're all going to

808
00:41:56,466 --> 00:41:58,146
Speaker 1: be checking our phones, give us a preview. What have

809
00:41:58,226 --> 00:42:00,146
Speaker 1: they got? Who are you and who are we looking at?

810
00:42:00,306 --> 00:42:03,426
Speaker 3: Well? You know what right now, bloom is we're going

811
00:42:03,506 --> 00:42:06,346
Speaker 3: to be on the road, so it's a tough place

812
00:42:06,546 --> 00:42:09,226
Speaker 3: go play. Uh. You know, if you were to look

813
00:42:09,306 --> 00:42:11,626
Speaker 3: at the tap, if you look at just stats and

814
00:42:11,666 --> 00:42:13,466
Speaker 3: stuff like that, you would think it's going to be

815
00:42:13,506 --> 00:42:16,906
Speaker 3: an easy victory for us. It's not. We're gonna have

816
00:42:16,946 --> 00:42:19,826
Speaker 3: to play well. We're gonna have to what I'd like

817
00:42:19,906 --> 00:42:22,866
Speaker 3: to say, make the ordinary play extraordinary. You know, they

818
00:42:23,106 --> 00:42:25,106
Speaker 3: just do the little things right the bank things will

819
00:42:25,146 --> 00:42:28,546
Speaker 3: take care of themselves, handle adversity when it comes, because

820
00:42:28,586 --> 00:42:31,626
Speaker 3: we're gonna have some type of adversity, and just play

821
00:42:31,666 --> 00:42:34,466
Speaker 3: with each other and don't look at the scoreboard, don't

822
00:42:34,506 --> 00:42:38,026
Speaker 3: look got just play the game and make the ordinary

823
00:42:38,066 --> 00:42:39,706
Speaker 3: play and I think we'll be just fine.

824
00:42:39,946 --> 00:42:42,186
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna give you

825
00:42:42,226 --> 00:42:44,626
Speaker 1: some advice here. And this is me as a media

826
00:42:44,706 --> 00:42:46,586

00:43:13,266 --> 00:43:16,906
Speaker 3: seasons over. But she was like, we should have a party.

837
00:43:16,946 --> 00:43:20,746

Speaker 3: and he's here with us. And I called his dad

845

Speaker 3: about midweek once I realized that Tyson was going to start,

846
00:43:46,466 --> 00:43:48,786
Speaker 3: and I said, hey, make sure you take Ezra out there.

847
00:43:49,626 --> 00:43:52,346
Speaker 1: Yeah, missed the game to go. He went and did both.

848
00:43:52,466 --> 00:43:54,786
Speaker 3: No, he played the game, played in the game, actually

00:44:18,786 --> 00:44:20,786
Speaker 1: So are you, my friend, Ernie. This was so cool,

857
00:44:20,826 --> 00:44:26,026
Speaker 1: Coach Ernie McCook Shepherd University. What an amazing world when

858
00:44:26,106 --> 00:44:28,146
Speaker 1: this has been And yet you sound as natural and

859
00:44:28,186 --> 00:44:31,466
Speaker 1: as non surprised as it could ever be. It seems like,

860
00:44:32,066 --> 00:44:33,786
Speaker 1: not to get too religious with you, but it feels

861
00:44:33,826 --> 00:44:35,506
Speaker 1: like this was in the stars and you kind of

862
00:44:35,506 --> 00:44:36,906
Speaker 1: saw this happen in a long time ago.

863
00:44:37,426 --> 00:44:40,466
Speaker 3: You know, I truly believe in the blessings of life

864
00:44:40,506 --> 00:44:43,506
Speaker 3: that we have. And I do a radio show on

865
00:44:43,546 --> 00:44:47,386
Speaker 3: Thursday nights, and two weeks ago it was West Virginia

866
00:44:47,426 --> 00:44:50,986
Speaker 3: playing Houston and I'm sitting there and of course the

867
00:44:50,986 --> 00:44:53,786
Speaker 3: one guy is a West Virginia longe that does the

868
00:44:53,866 --> 00:44:56,946

870
00:45:00,426 --> 00:45:04,026
Speaker 3: sacriligious there if it's not don Kneeling, you know, looked

871
00:45:04,066 --> 00:45:06,306
Speaker 3: at me sideways. I said, yeah, Stana Holderson.

872
00:45:06,746 --> 00:45:07,106
Speaker 1: I love that.

873
00:45:07,426 --> 00:45:09,866
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but I said he's my favorite because he

874
00:45:09,866 --> 00:45:11,826
Speaker 3: didn't offer Tyson baiging coming out of high school.

875
00:45:11,826 --> 00:45:13,666
Speaker 1: There you go, that's a great way to do it.

876
00:45:13,666 --> 00:45:16,106
Speaker 1: I was like, Dana, he's a good coach. Okay, go on,

881
00:45:26,706 --> 00:45:32,466
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. It was a lot of fun, Ernie.

882
00:45:32,466 --> 00:45:35,946
Speaker 1: But Cook, I mean, that's that's interesting. And when he

883
00:45:35,986 --> 00:45:41,186
Speaker 1: starts talking about weightlifting logs and building your own cold

884
00:45:41,186 --> 00:45:43,306
Speaker 1: tub in twenty twenty one out of the shores of

885
00:45:43,346 --> 00:45:45,026
Speaker 1: the Potomac, like, this is what I'm here for.

886
00:45:45,666 --> 00:45:47,826
Speaker 2: That was one hundred percent not what I was doing

887
00:45:47,826 --> 00:45:49,226
Speaker 2: in the woods when I was in high school.

888
00:45:49,266 --> 00:45:50,666
Speaker 3: I can guarantee you that I'm sure.

889
00:45:50,786 --> 00:45:52,626
Speaker 1: No. It was actually college, which is even crazy, like

890
00:45:53,146 --> 00:45:55,466
Speaker 1: the fact that he's in college and he's still it's

891
00:45:55,506 --> 00:45:58,026
Speaker 1: still as like and it's nothing against the Division two program.

892
00:45:58,026 --> 00:46:01,226
Speaker 1: It's not Alabama, it's not Ohio State. It's like, go

893
00:46:01,306 --> 00:46:05,706
Speaker 1: walk on your hands and challenge the trainer. I want

894
00:46:05,706 --> 00:46:07,466
Speaker 1: to make it bigger than he it is, maybe because

895
00:46:07,666 --> 00:46:10,506
Speaker 1: these are sophisticated programs and there he won the Heisman

896
00:46:10,586 --> 00:46:14,186
Speaker 1: of the Division two, but like it is really, really,

897
00:46:15,226 --> 00:46:17,586
Speaker 1: really big, long shot stuff when you're going from Division

898
00:46:17,626 --> 00:46:20,346
Speaker 1: two undrafted to starting in the NFL and on Sunday night.

899
00:46:20,626 --> 00:46:22,946
Speaker 1: So as much as we saw mister Irrelevant last year,

900
00:46:23,226 --> 00:46:25,426
Speaker 1: brock Birdy was a superstar in the state of Arizona

901
00:46:25,426 --> 00:46:28,146
Speaker 1: and started Iowa State for four years, this guy's story

902
00:46:28,226 --> 00:46:29,546
Speaker 1: is way crazier.

903
00:46:29,906 --> 00:46:32,986
Speaker 2: And he won with the Bears. I mean, like, it's

904
00:46:33,026 --> 00:46:36,146
Speaker 2: that just here's a UDFA who started a game because

905
00:46:36,146 --> 00:46:39,866
Speaker 2: of injury. It's a UDFA who wound up making the

906
00:46:39,946 --> 00:46:42,626
Speaker 2: team and then took them to a victory, which I mean,

907
00:46:43,466 --> 00:46:45,626
Speaker 2: you know, Josh Allen didn't take his team to a

908
00:46:45,706 --> 00:46:46,586
Speaker 2: victory this week, So.

909
00:46:46,746 --> 00:46:49,706
Speaker 1: No, you're right, Sky's the limit for him. That was cool.

910
00:46:49,786 --> 00:46:52,666
Speaker 1: Ernie McCook I like him. As we are wrapping up

911
00:46:52,666 --> 00:46:55,146
Speaker 1: with him, he like it was like, here's my Twitter handle.

912
00:46:55,146 --> 00:46:57,226
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, Ernie, let's go, let's take the best.

913
00:46:57,506 --> 00:47:01,186
Speaker 1: We got to maximize this moment. Barn They're my official

914
00:47:01,226 --> 00:47:04,746
Speaker 1: Division two teams, So Arizona is my official Division one team.

915
00:47:04,826 --> 00:47:07,266
Speaker 1: Checking on Arizona. I know they took USC to the

916
00:47:07,266 --> 00:47:10,826
Speaker 1: wire then I think they won one against Washington State.

917
00:47:10,946 --> 00:47:13,506
Speaker 1: What's Arizona's record? How are we looking with Jed Fish's boys.

918
00:47:13,546 --> 00:47:16,106
Speaker 1: Jed's been a great friend of the pod and his

919
00:47:16,146 --> 00:47:18,706
Speaker 1: clip went crazy viral and was a great episode if

920
00:47:18,706 --> 00:47:21,266
Speaker 1: you go back as a coach at Arizona. What do we got?

921
00:47:21,346 --> 00:47:25,226
Speaker 2: Their overall is four and three, they're two goal team.

922
00:47:25,226 --> 00:47:27,666
Speaker 1: Who'd they play this past weekend? Or were they on the.

923
00:47:27,626 --> 00:47:33,626
Speaker 2: By this past weekend? They played Washington State and they

924
00:47:33,626 --> 00:47:37,146
Speaker 2: won forty four to six. They won, they lost, they won,

925
00:47:37,266 --> 00:47:39,346
Speaker 2: they won? Yes, I think it was USC.

926
00:47:39,626 --> 00:47:40,466
Speaker 1: Was it two weeks ago?

927
00:47:40,746 --> 00:47:43,026
Speaker 2: The four? Yeah, that's they didn't do anything this weekend?

928
00:47:43,066 --> 00:47:45,026
Speaker 1: They buyed all right? So who do they got this weekend?

929
00:47:45,506 --> 00:47:46,226
Speaker 2: Oregon State?

930
00:47:46,626 --> 00:47:47,346
Speaker 1: Any good? Click on?

931
00:47:47,386 --> 00:47:50,506
Speaker 2: Oregon State? Beavers are six and one. They're the eleventh

932
00:47:50,586 --> 00:47:55,146
Speaker 2: ranked team. So Arizona is currently a one score underdog

933
00:47:55,386 --> 00:47:56,546
Speaker 2: versus Oregon State.

934
00:47:56,906 --> 00:47:58,946
Speaker 1: So here's our viewing. Okay, are you ready for this?

935
00:48:00,306 --> 00:48:04,146
Speaker 1: You and I are going to stream Bloomsburg Shepherd in

936
00:48:04,226 --> 00:48:06,506
Speaker 1: the early afternoon. We're going to get in on. It're

937
00:48:06,506 --> 00:48:08,426
Speaker 1: gonna rot for coach McCook. We're gonna get some Ezra

938
00:48:08,506 --> 00:48:12,186
Speaker 1: Bagent fantasy numbers up and going. And then I assume

939
00:48:12,226 --> 00:48:14,986
Speaker 1: Oregon State Arizona is one of these late night affairs.

940
00:48:15,306 --> 00:48:18,706
Speaker 2: Yeah, we we have plenty of time. The Bloomsburg game

941
00:48:18,906 --> 00:48:22,986
Speaker 2: is at noon and uh, Oregon State Arizona is at

942
00:48:23,026 --> 00:48:24,106
Speaker 2: ten thirty pm.

943
00:48:24,986 --> 00:48:27,626
Speaker 1: So I mean that's it retailgate and we're getting after

944
00:48:27,706 --> 00:48:31,106
Speaker 1: it or I'm sure there's other stuff in between, but

945
00:48:31,266 --> 00:48:33,106
Speaker 1: the big ones for us, we're gonna book end it

946
00:48:33,146 --> 00:48:37,466
Speaker 1: with Bloomsburg versus Shepherd. I'm going with Shepherd. Shepherd big

947
00:48:37,506 --> 00:48:39,786
Speaker 1: because coach said, you know, on paper, we're gonna they

948
00:48:39,746 --> 00:48:41,346
Speaker 1: look like we're gonna kick their butts. But no, no,

949
00:48:41,386 --> 00:48:43,066
Speaker 1: that means you're gonna kick their ass. We're gonna take

950
00:48:43,106 --> 00:48:48,346
Speaker 1: Shepard and I got Arizona upsetting Oregon State late at night?

951
00:48:48,506 --> 00:48:50,506
Speaker 1: What's it on ESPN or Packed twelve network? What do

952
00:48:50,546 --> 00:48:51,866
Speaker 1: we got to say that in network?

953
00:48:53,146 --> 00:48:55,426
Speaker 2: Pack twelve pac twelve? Uh?

954
00:48:55,466 --> 00:48:57,666
Speaker 1: Did you see the clip that was going viral of

955
00:48:57,786 --> 00:49:00,426
Speaker 1: the seedw game that you wudn't c was playing Virginia?

956
00:49:00,506 --> 00:49:02,626
Speaker 1: Do you see that or no, So UNC is playing

957
00:49:02,706 --> 00:49:05,986
Speaker 1: Virginia on the seed W and you know they do

958
00:49:06,026 --> 00:49:11,346
Speaker 1: the inn game promos and only so the announcer, the

959
00:49:11,426 --> 00:49:13,346
Speaker 1: play by play guy, very seriously, He's like, all right,

960
00:49:13,346 --> 00:49:15,586
Speaker 1: and it's fourteen seven Virginia.

961
00:49:15,746 --> 00:49:18,226
Speaker 3: Are you watching the show f Boy Island?

962
00:49:20,266 --> 00:49:22,466
Speaker 1: And I think James Bates is the color guy who

963
00:49:22,466 --> 00:49:26,866
Speaker 1: I know. And James like, he's like, well, everyone else

964
00:49:27,026 --> 00:49:31,826
Speaker 1: is f Boy Island on the CW. You can't make

965
00:49:31,906 --> 00:49:35,466
Speaker 1: it up? All right? Time for our Uber Eats segment.

966
00:49:35,506 --> 00:49:39,026
Speaker 1: They are our sponsors the season with Peter Schrager is

967
00:49:39,106 --> 00:49:42,626
Speaker 1: delivering results presented by Uber Eats. And I'm gonna tell

968
00:49:42,626 --> 00:49:46,066
Speaker 1: you who I think delivered results last week, and that

969
00:49:46,186 --> 00:49:49,306
Speaker 1: is Lamar Jackson. I think Lamar Jackson had his best

970
00:49:49,346 --> 00:49:52,786
Speaker 1: game as a pro this season. He was unbelievable. He

971
00:49:52,826 --> 00:49:54,426
Speaker 1: was calm in the pocket and he looked like an

972
00:49:54,506 --> 00:49:57,706
Speaker 1: MVP candidate. What the Ravens did to the Lions completely

973
00:49:57,746 --> 00:49:59,786
Speaker 1: shifted the narrative and not only the AFC, but the

974
00:49:59,866 --> 00:50:02,626
Speaker 1: NFC as well. We were riding a bandwagon and we

975
00:50:02,666 --> 00:50:04,746
Speaker 1: were all up on board of what Detroit was doing

976
00:50:04,786 --> 00:50:07,506
Speaker 1: that had suddenly come to a halt in maybe a

977
00:50:07,546 --> 00:50:10,826
Speaker 1: derailment based on what exactly Baltimore did to them, and

978
00:50:11,226 --> 00:50:13,066
Speaker 1: a lot of it is what Lamar is doing in

979
00:50:13,106 --> 00:50:15,866
Speaker 1: Todd Munkins offense. The week before, a lot of drops

980
00:50:15,866 --> 00:50:18,626
Speaker 1: by his receivers. This week, Mark Andrews showed out on

981
00:50:18,706 --> 00:50:20,986
Speaker 1: National tight Ends Day. Agalore was all over the field.

982
00:50:21,066 --> 00:50:24,306
Speaker 1: Bateman was making big plays. Say Flowers of course was

983
00:50:24,346 --> 00:50:26,986
Speaker 1: everywhere and you'd love to see Odell Beckham a part

984
00:50:27,026 --> 00:50:30,266
Speaker 1: of the offense. So kudos to Lamar. Let's see if

985
00:50:30,266 --> 00:50:32,626
Speaker 1: the Ravens can keep it going. That was delivering results

986
00:50:32,626 --> 00:50:36,106
Speaker 1: presented by Uber Eats, where you can get almost almost anything.

987
00:50:36,146 --> 00:50:39,146
