They countdown to Christmas. Never tasted so sweet. 22 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: Now let's get to Sunday's game. On an eighty one 23 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: degree day in Miami, the Bengals scored first late in 24 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: the first quarter when Tyler Boyd took a short pass 25 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: from Brandon Allen and turned it into the longest play 26 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: of his NFL career. Third down in two, Cincinnati from 27 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: their own twenty eight yard line. Allen, in the shotgun 28 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: against the snap, throws quick boy down the side, cross midfield, 29 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: met them bowing it you go all the way, cuts 30 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: inside of the table and sits into the end zone. 31 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: Touchdown Tyler Boyd touchdown, Cincinnati seventy two yards. Unfortunately, it 32 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: was Boyd's only catch of the day. The Bengals had 33 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: a seven to three lead with about a minute to 34 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: go in the first half and had the ball at 35 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 1: the Miami twenty yard line on third down in ten. 36 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: They knew that even if they couldn't get a first down, 37 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: they were well within easy field goal range for Randy 38 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: Bullock in the shotgun. Allen gets the football looks right now. 39 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: He rolls fires toward the sideline and it's too high, 40 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: incomplete and a little extra push on boy a swipe 41 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: by Howard, and it continues on the sideline just outside 42 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: the fifteen yard line. That swite could easily be a 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: fifteen yard penalty. It would be half the distance to 44 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: the goal here. And the referees are talking this over, 45 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: but no flags yet. Zach Taylor's ran down there at 46 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: the officially, so are you kidding me? You didn't see 47 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: him swat Tyler Boyd in the face mask. He took 48 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: a shot at him. He took a left handed punch 49 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: out him, took a swat because Tyler Boyd gets up, 50 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: goes face mask to face mask, he swats at him 51 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: with the left hand and then comes back at him again. 52 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: So Zach Taylor saw that. Zach Taylor saying where's the flag? 53 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: He's doing a play by playing the officials ear and 54 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: finally the flag comes in and are they going to 55 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: penalize the Bengals bench? Oh, they're gonna call it him 56 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: the Bengals. That makes it a more interesting field goal, 57 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: it sure does. Let's unpack what happened. Tyler Boyd got 58 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: pushed in the back late when he was going out 59 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: of bounds. He took exception and got up and said 60 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: something face mask to face mask to Dolphin's cornerback Xavian Howard. 61 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: Howard threw a punch that didn't really connect. Boyd retaliated 62 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: with a punch that also didn't really connect. The game 63 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: officials apparently only saw the retaliation punch and hit Boyd 64 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: with a fifteen yard penalty, but the replay officials watching 65 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: in New York saw both punches and ejected Boyd and Howard. 66 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: And even though they saw Howard throw the first punch, 67 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: the crew in New York can only rule on ejections. 68 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: They cannot ask the officials on site to throw another penalty. 69 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: Flag that turned a thirty eight yard field goal attempt 70 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: by Bullock into a fifty three yard try. Clark Harris 71 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: the snap, Huber to hold off the left. Hash looking 72 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: in now getting the snap, it's high place down Bell 73 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: and Wine Lord wide of the post wide left. You 74 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: just knew what was going to happen after that, right, 75 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: The Dolphins picked up a couple of first downs and 76 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: kicked a forty eight yard field goal on the final 77 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: play of the half. To make it Cincinnati seven Miami six. 78 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: The Bengals had the lead, but it sure didn't feel 79 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: like it, and sure enough, the second half was thoroughly 80 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: dominated by the Dolphins. Three receivers set with smythe motioning 81 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: talking about Lowa takes throws back of the end zone, 82 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: it is Cark Gisicky back of the end zone over 83 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: Sims for eight Dolphins touchdown. That touchdown passed to Mike Kasicki, 84 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: and a field goal by Jason Sanders gave Miami a 85 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: sixteen seven lead going to the final quarter. In the 86 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: third quarter, the Bengals had minus four yards of offense. 87 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: Here's Zach Taylor, there's a third quarter in the Nut Show, 88 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: you know. And they came out and had three straight 89 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: scorn drives, and we had some three and outs, And 90 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: I gotta put our guys in a better position, too. 91 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: We gotta make some plays that are there. But at 92 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: the same time, you know, I gotta be accountable for 93 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: them and put us in some better spots. But you know, 94 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: we played the game how we expected to be playing 95 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: the first half, and then weren't good enough in the 96 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: third quarter, and that's where I got away. Miami added 97 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: a field goal early in the fourth to make it 98 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: nineteen seven, and while the Dolphins didn't score again, things 99 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: got much worse. First, Jonah Williams suffered a knee injury 100 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: and was taken off the field on a cart. On 101 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: the very next play, Mike Thomas hit punt returner Jachim 102 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: Grant before he had a chance to catch the ball, 103 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: drawing a catch interference penalty. Earlier in the game, Thomas 104 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: was penalized for unnecessary roughness for another hit on Grant 105 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: that caused Dolphins players and coaches to come charging off 106 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: the field from their sideline, leading to three more ejections 107 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: for fighting, Devonte Parker and Mac Hollins for Miami and 108 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: Sean Williams for the Bengals. After the games, Zach Taylor 109 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: defended Mike Thomas for the two hits on Grant that 110 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: resulted in penalties. Oh, we'll watch the first one first 111 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: of all, and then the second one. He got there 112 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: a little too soon. I mean, that's that's obvious. We 113 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: know that. But again that that returner is a heck 114 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: for returner. That's the number one point returner unit in 115 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: the league. He does not fair to catch the ball, 116 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, And so you've got to put pressure on him. 117 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 1: Of course, we don't want to do it before before 118 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: the catch point. We want to play within the rules. 119 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: But our guys were playing hard. It was unfortunate. You 120 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: hope he's fine, but again there's no will will there 121 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: by Mike Thomas, I can promise you that he's just 122 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: he's just being a gunner and trying to go down 123 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: there and make a play. The rest of the game 124 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: was basically an assault on Bengals quarterbacks. Brandon Allen got 125 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: sacked five times and had to be helped off the 126 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: field with about seven and a half minutes to go. Fortunately, 127 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: he only had the win knocked out of him. Ryan 128 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: Finley came in and promptly got sacked on his second 129 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: play as Miami finished with six sacks and eleven quarterback hits. 130 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: The Bengals managed just twenty five yards of offense in 131 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: the second half as the Dolphins scored the game's final 132 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: nineteen points in a nineteen seven win. Oh. I think 133 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: our guys got put him some tough spots, you know. 134 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: And you know those are two core guys that got 135 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: keeped out of the game, Sean Williams and and Tyler 136 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: Boyd you know, and again, we don't ever want that. 137 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: We don't ever want to throw a point. We need 138 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: those guys. We're counting on those guys, and everyone's got 139 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: to maintain their composure, myself included. So we just got 140 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: to look at what happened. But but it was I know, 141 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: they were both very frustrated with what was going on, 142 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, and Sean got hurt there on a blindside 143 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: block and TV like you got hit way laid out 144 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: of a ounce, you know. And so but again we 145 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: got to maintain our composure and be better than that. 146 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: What did you tell you football team after the game? 147 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm proud of the effort they gave, you know, 148 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: and they they're playing hard and had some calls go 149 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: against them, you know that that we'll have to look 150 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: at it, to be quite frank, But um, you know, 151 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: I thought our guys were playing hard and got putting 152 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: a tough spot there. The Dolphins are eight and four 153 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: and a half game behind the Bills in the AFC East. 154 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: Those two teams meet in the final game of the 155 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: regular season. The Bengals are two nine and one and 156 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: currently have the third pick in next year's draft. Now 157 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: time for postgame analysis with my broadcast partner Dave Lapham. 158 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: All Right, lap nineteen seven the final score in Miami today. 159 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: My question is who had a worse day, Ron Torbert's 160 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: officiating crew or the Bengals O line point. That's a 161 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I'll tell you what. The league 162 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: can't be happy. I mean, the officiating crew lost control 163 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: of that football game and they had a terrible day. 164 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: They really did trying to figure out, you know, who 165 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: to assess penalties on, who to eject. I mean, the 166 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: league office had to get involved, obviously, and I've never 167 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: ever been in a football game there was where there 168 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: was a twenty to twenty five minute delay regarding that 169 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: who to penalize, who to eject. Unbelievable. I mean, it's 170 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: just people don't tune in by television or radio to 171 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,599 Speaker 1: listen or hear or watch officials having basically a conference 172 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: of stripe jersey. It was ridiculous. And the ejection of 173 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd and the penalty late in the first half 174 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: was huge. They missed the fact that he got shoved 175 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: in the back out of bounds. That should have been 176 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: a penalty. Yea, he gets up, gets in somebody's face. 177 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: The first swipe was taken by the opponent, he swipes back, 178 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: he gets a fifteen yard penalty. So that's a mistake. 179 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: They both get a ejected and shouldn't have been. That 180 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: was just totally mishandled by the officials. Like Marv Levy said, 181 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: they were all a bunch of overly officious jerks. It 182 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: was ridiculous because, you know, New York got involved with 183 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: the ejections, and New York got overly excited about doing 184 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: something to try to take control of the game that 185 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: the officials had lost control of. I think I think 186 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: they saw that it was starting to get pretty or 187 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: very chippy, very nasty potentially, and they tried to put 188 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: a fork in it as such. But the fact that 189 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: New York couldn't do anything about the fact that they 190 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: blew the call. They can't assess penalties that officials miss 191 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: on the field of play. That would open up the 192 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: can of worms. Every single play would be asked to 193 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: be reviewed to see if there was holding on the 194 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: left tackle, if there was an illegal chuck on the cornerback. 195 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they couldn't play the game, so they couldn't 196 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: rectify the mistake that was made by Tyler Boyd being 197 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: the guy that responds to being pushed. They missed totally 198 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: why he was instigated to do what he did. All 199 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: they saw was him retaliate, and it's ridiculous what took 200 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: place there. And Zach Taylor was going nuts because he 201 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: saw the whole thing as he was going down the 202 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,479 Speaker 1: sideline and certainly could not change the officials' minds whatsoever. 203 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: So technically the game got away in the third quarter, 204 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: but I really thought that final sequence in the second 205 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: quarter swung the game. That's how I felt watching it. 206 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: One oh eight left in the second quarter, the Bengals 207 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: have the lead. They've got it first and ten at 208 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: the Miami twenty. You think, worst case scenario, they're going 209 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: to kick a field goal and have a ten to 210 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: three lead at the half. Instead of having, you know, 211 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: what should have been a relative chip shot, like a 212 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: thirty eight yard field goal, it becomes a fifty three 213 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: yard attempt that Bullock misses, gives the Dolphins good field position, 214 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: and they kick a forty eight yard field goal as 215 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: the half expires to make it a seven sixth game. 216 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: That was a huge swing. It was, it was, and 217 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: I think the Bengals went into locker room feeling it. 218 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: So they came back out in the third quarter, went 219 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: two and out, three and out in their two possessions 220 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: in the third quarter, and then they went three and 221 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: out in the first possession of the fourth quarter. Three 222 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: straight three and outs, and on those twelve snaps they 223 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: had zero yards, three plays for six yards, three place 224 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: for minus ten yards, three place for minus one yards, 225 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: minus five total. So in a in a let's see, 226 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: in a five possession sequence, they had four three and outs, 227 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 1: twelve plays, no yards in those in those in those possessions, 228 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: those five possessions, that is brutal. That's ending the first 229 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: half and starting the second half with nothing going on. 230 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean they had on the drive you talked about 231 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: whether they missed the field goal, they had six first downs. 232 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: On the other nine drives, they had six first downs 233 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: total the other nine drives, and on the one drive 234 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: where they missed a fifty three yard they had six 235 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: verset downs, eleven plays, forty three yards root canal surgery. 236 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: I mean, they just can't make any plays. They really can't. 237 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: Seventy two yard touchdown, Tyler Boyd, you know, basically you 238 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: had a misplay by the defensive back sample does a 239 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: good job of blocking one. The other one just tries 240 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: to run underneath the plane and catch it from behind 241 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: instead of going over the top. And when he ran 242 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: underneath it, Tyler Board out ran him to the sideline 243 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: and it was, you know, six points at that point, 244 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: it was six city. The Bengals ran a total of 245 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: fifty plays, so that one went for seventy two the 246 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: other forty nine went for un excuse me, one hundred 247 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: and twenty four yards. That's two point five per snap. 248 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: Like you say, root canal surgery. Just a dreadful showing. 249 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: And you know, it's tough when you lose your starting quarterback, 250 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: but that's happened to a lot of teams. Typically your 251 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: offense is not as good, that's to be understood. But 252 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: it shouldn't be this bad, really shouldn't, I get you know, 253 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: you compound it with the fact that Joe Mixon, you know, 254 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: the Joe Show is done. The two Joe's only played together, 255 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: what four game games maybe Dan possibly five, I can't 256 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: remember the exact number, but it wasn't very long. And uh, 257 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: it's it's this football team, both both the Bengals and 258 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: and the Miami Dolphins. Their numbers were very similar. They 259 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: had run it for about ninety five and ninety six 260 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: yards and given up about one hundred and thirty And 261 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: they both were giving up four point eight yards per 262 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: play in the running game. And they're running it for 263 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: about you know, three point six yards, you know, three 264 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: point six to three point eight. So who was going 265 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: to run it and who was going to stop the run? 266 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: The Bengals running game was non existent against the defense 267 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: the teams had run the ball against pretty well. You know, 268 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: they hit the sea gap, they hit the off tackle 269 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: gap when they went to that bare front and covered 270 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: the center on both guards, and teams hit that and 271 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: abused it pretty well. In the first half, they showed 272 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: some signs, you know, they were finishing runs pretty well. 273 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: P Ryan finished the couple, Giovanni finished a couple, and 274 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, maybe they'll be able to stay with him, 275 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: be persistent with the running game and grinds it out 276 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: a little bit. And then that's just evaporated. You know, 277 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: that went away, and it's amazing. As soon as the 278 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: team gets up more than a score on the Bengals, 279 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: it's over. It's over. They can't they can't run the football, 280 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: the pass protection is they get overpowered and dominated six sacks, 281 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: five of them in the second half. You know that 282 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: Basically Miami started to run away with the game. They 283 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: scored on four straight possessions, the last possession the field 284 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: goal we talked about in the first half, then touchdown 285 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: field goal, field goal in the first three possessions of 286 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: the second half. Ball game, and uh, it's it's it's 287 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: tough to watch it. Defensively, again, they played pretty solidly. 288 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Jesse Bates is having he had thirteen tackles, 289 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: ten of them on assisted and punch the ball out 290 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: and Von Bell recovers it. The Killer Bees are playing 291 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: well at the safety position, and the last two opponents 292 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: have scored nineteen points and the offense cannot even you know, 293 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: come close to make it making it a competitive football game. 294 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: In today's NFL, nineteen points should not win you a 295 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: football game by two scores. It just shouldn't. I thought 296 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: Bates really stood out today because not only did he 297 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: have all those tackles, but he wasn't like making the 298 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: last line of defense tackles fifteen twenty yards downfield. He 299 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: was up in the box stopping guys repeatedly close to 300 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Yeah, and when receptions were made, 301 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: the journey was over. There was no yards after catch. 302 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: I mean he was he was physical. I mean he 303 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: was he was into it. And honestly, I think that 304 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: he's going to get a lot of votes for the 305 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl because his play. I think Lawrence it plus 306 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: the fact that he's trying to ignite his football team. 307 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: His team is not a good football team, particularly offensively, 308 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: and he's trying to lift his entire defense, you know, 309 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: to stay competitive and keep the football team in games. 310 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: So I think League Y he's getting a lot of 311 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: respect for that, and he was effusive in the praise. 312 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: Was florries about Jesse based before the football game during 313 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: the week during the Zoom call that he had the 314 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: conference call on Wednesday, and Jesse did look him up 315 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: before the game and thank them for words. And if 316 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: you have a guy who knows what he's looking at 317 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: from a defensive football perspective. Given the kind of compliments, 318 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: the Flowery compliments they were thrown out there, Flores was 319 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 1: thrown up their debates, that means something to League. So 320 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: the Jonas Williams situation was awful. TV coverage only showed 321 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: it once, similar to the Joe Burrow situation. Looked like 322 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: Bobby Harts guy inadvertently crashed into the leg of Jonah Williams, 323 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: causing the injury. Again on the TV coverage, they only 324 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: mentioned that he was taken off on a cart. We 325 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: didn't see it. None of that would appear to bode 326 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: well in my opinion. Now, they called for the card 327 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: very quickly. He never moved, you know, they just just 328 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: went right down to the knee. I mean, he knew 329 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: obviously right away. And I remember that happened to me 330 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: one time, and I was fortunate in that I tore cartilage, 331 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: tore meniscus cartilage and tour it pretty well. There was 332 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: a big you know, the meniscus is like a horse 333 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: shoe underneath your kneecap, underneath the matella, and I had 334 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: a big, huge ripping in the meniscus and it was locked, 335 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: locking my knee up. I couldn't bend my leg. But 336 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 1: they carved it out of there with with you know, 337 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: the surgery, the scope, arthurscopic surgery when in there, chopped 338 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: it up, sucked it out of there, and I was 339 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: able to play. Literally, I played the following Sunday. So 340 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: that was a you know, not a not a terrible procedure, 341 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: but a lot of times when you get you get 342 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: hit like that from the side or behind, it can 343 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: lead to some significant damage. And the fact that he 344 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: didn't even try to get up and walk off the 345 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: field is not a good indicator. Bobby Hart had a 346 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: tough day. Looked like Michael Jordan had a really tough day. 347 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: Xavier sue of Philo is off the injured list. Do 348 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: you think Michael Jordan gets another opportunity to watch from 349 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: the sideline and we see the return of Xavier Suafilo 350 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: to the starting lineup. I would think so. And uh, 351 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, if Redmond's able to come back, what do 352 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: you do do you go with? You go with Spain 353 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: and Suafilo, Redmond and Suafilo. You know, it's it's interesting 354 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: what they might do inside there. But I do think 355 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: I think right now Michael Jordan has got a confidence issue. 356 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: I think that you know, he's he realizes that in 357 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: his mind, maybe I shouldn't be playing, maybe I'm not 358 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: ready to play. And you can't compete in the national 359 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: football if you go out there with doubt in your mind. 360 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: If you don't think that you're going to be able 361 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: to get the job done, there's not a snowball's chance 362 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: in hell you're gonna get the job done, bottom line period. 363 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: So until he, you know, gets that confidence back and 364 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: starts to be consistent with his execution of performance on 365 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: a snap by snap basis, you got to do something 366 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: because van Noy, van Noy had three sacks. I respect 367 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: van Noy as a football player. The guy is a 368 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: stat sheets stuffer and he's very intelligent. And I mean 369 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: when when the Dolphins suffer injury to Roberts, I thought, 370 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: oh man, that's that's a that's a big loss right there. 371 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: And Van Noy just picked it up and just made 372 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of plays for the Dolphins at the linebacker level. 373 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he stepped his game up big time. What 374 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: do you think of Twah. I think that they they 375 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: dumped it down a little bit offensively for TWA. I 376 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: don't think they give him a lot to have to 377 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: concern himself with it. It's very effective. They employ like 378 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 1: a motion person across the formation. He can you know, 379 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: he can give him a little shovel pass to get 380 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: an outside run. They do their zone read stuff with 381 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: him and then play action off all of those looks, 382 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: and it's pretty simple. It's pretty simple what they're asking 383 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: them to do. And I think they call it and 384 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: run it with Twa. I don't think he even looks 385 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: to audibilize that the line of scrimmage. I think it's 386 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: a call it and running scenario with chan Gaily and 387 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: then obviously with Ryan Fitzpatrick in there, he has total 388 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: latitude to change plays at the line of scrimmage and 389 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: get him out of bad plays into better ones. But 390 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: I do think too it is very, very conscious of 391 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: not messing it up, don't turn it over, don't make 392 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: a mistake that will cost his football team, because he 393 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: knows his defense is outstanding, and he knows that the 394 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: special teams are great as well. And offensively, just do 395 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: what you need to do, take advantage of opportunities when 396 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: they present themselves. Don't try to force and create opportunities. 397 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: Don't try to do something that's not there and cause issues. 398 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: And I think he had a stretch there where he 399 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: was like I would think probably ten for twelve, one 400 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty yards and a touchdown pass. He was 401 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: pretty effective with that play action stuff, And I think 402 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: I think both quarterbacks Dan are tough minded Fitzpatrick and 403 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: two are both tough minded. Two has been coached hard 404 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: his whole life. His dad just begin with and I 405 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's tough. I've seen father's coaching their sons 406 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 1: and they're tough on their sons and anybody because they 407 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: don't want to appear to be showing favoritism. And then 408 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: you go to Nick Saban and probably his dad was 409 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: a picnic before Nick Saban, you know. So now you 410 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: go to Flores, who's another you know, stern taskmaster. So 411 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: two is tough. Two is mentally tough, physically tough. And uh, 412 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: I thought that he was patient, didn't try to didn't 413 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: try to create something when it wasn't there. It's interesting 414 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: to watch him, watch him perform, hasn't thrown an interception, 415 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: He's got seven touchdown passes. Now, it's pretty nice. It 416 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: is good. Miami coach Brian Flores lost his cool over 417 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: though Mike Thomas hits on punt returner Jachem Grant. Did 418 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: you think they were cheaper? You know? The thing is 419 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: Grant doesn't signal fair catches. And I'm sure Darren was like, look, 420 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: he's not going to fair catch it. Don't let him 421 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: embarrass you, close the space, get right up on top 422 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: of him as soon as he catches that football, put 423 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: a hit on him. All Thomas took it a little 424 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: a step further, obviously, And I know some people are 425 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: are like a Paul that New York didn't throw Mike 426 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: Thomas out of the game after having back to back 427 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: punt returns that way. The thing my question is, how 428 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: the hell does Flores not even get penalized running across 429 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: the field and leading the whole bench to the Bengal sideline. 430 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: Now New York can say, well, a coach can go 431 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: on the field if he's a peacemaker. Peacemaker my butt. 432 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: Flores was ready to go. He was he was going 433 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: to get after people on the Bengal sideline and von 434 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: Bell held him back. He wasn't out there as a peacemaker. 435 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: He was going nuts. So you know, if they say, 436 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: how come Thomas wasn't injected, how come Flores wasn't at 437 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: least penalized or even ejected. You can't go out in 438 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: the football field like that in that manner as a coach, 439 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: not only as a head coach, an assistant coach. But 440 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: second time I've seen it happen in the meltdown in 441 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: the playoffs Pittsburgh as Cincinnati Joey Porter was out in 442 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: the field proden Vantes Berfort and Adam Jones. So I've 443 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: seen it before with an assistant coach out there on 444 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: the football field when he shouldn't have been. But I've 445 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: never seen a head coach charged the opposite sideline and 446 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: leader brigade of guys from his sideline across the field 447 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: like that. And there's no repercussion about it whatsoever? What's 448 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: that about it? I don't understand that one we know 449 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: who he was pointing and gesturing toward. Was it a coach? 450 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: Was it Mike Thomas? Do we know who he was 451 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: directing his anger at. I'm not sure. I'm not sure 452 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: he was. He was screaming and yelling at somebody. And 453 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: I would like to have been a fly on the 454 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: wall when he and Zach Taylor shook hands after the 455 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: game and Zach was asked at the zoom, you know 456 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: what was talked about him? So we'll just keep that 457 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: between us, he said, but we're good. But there was 458 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a Bengal assistant coach or 459 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: somebody else in the organization. Somebody was down on the 460 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: sides and was getting trampled. Yeah, I mean it's like, man, 461 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: you know, you can't you can't have those kind of things. 462 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: That's and that's an ugly scene right there. And the 463 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: National Football League I think that not only are there 464 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: going to be ejections, they're gonna be fines. Players are 465 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: going to be lighter in the pocketbook. If I'm the NFL. 466 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: If they don't find Floras, I don't know what the 467 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: hell of fine? What act would cause a fine to occur? 468 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: And I'm sure Russ will pick it up. The billionaire 469 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: owner will probably pick up Floors. Is fine, but the 470 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: league has to do something. They can't allow coaches to 471 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: run across the football field like that and help incite, 472 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, things that might get out of control. They 473 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: lost total control of that game every way you can 474 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: lose control of it. Brandon Allen left with seven twenty 475 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: three to go, helped off the field by the medical staff. 476 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: After the game, he said he just had the win 477 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: knocked out of them. So should we assume that he'll 478 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: be back as the starter next week? What do you 479 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,239 Speaker 1: think I think there's a good chance he fell on 480 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: top of the football. I saw that, you know, on 481 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: the one replayers got a good angle of it, and 482 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: I've seen that before, and I seen it where it 483 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: can crack ribs. I mean literally, if you fall on 484 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: that football right, you can have a you know, a 485 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: crack or one of the most painful injuries I ever had. 486 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: I recovered a fumble and guys fell on top of 487 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: me and I was right on top of the ball 488 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: and had nowhere to go, and I tore cartilage between 489 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: my ribs and my rib kidge and oh my gosh, man, 490 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: if you sneeze, cough, anything, it's like, I think I 491 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: might have preferred to crack a rib then tear cartilage 492 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: between the ribs. It was. It was very, very painful, 493 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: and there wasn't much movement you could do. And they 494 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: put a flat jacket on to protect it from further damage, 495 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: but it was already damaged. Man. That was. That was 496 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: a tough few weeks there, and it almost takes your 497 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: breath away when you move the wrong way. You feel 498 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: that big sharp pain and you know you almost lose 499 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: your breath. So he's it all depends on how serious 500 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: that injury is. And if it's if it's a problem 501 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 1: obviously and you can't practice and get ready for you know, 502 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: the game against Dallas, Hogan comes to the rescue and 503 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: I maybe they signed Sergeant Schultz to back them up. 504 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, they need another body back there at quarterback. 505 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna do. Nice hole again 506 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: reference speaking of painful two nine and one, four twenty 507 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: three and one since the beginning of last year, just 508 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: a brutal two years stretched, no other way to describe it. Yeah, absolutely, 509 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: And they only have one more chance to win a 510 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: road game. I mean they could go over the road 511 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: other than a tie, don't have a W and man, 512 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: that would be a tough, tough stretch. Obviously, they got 513 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: one more shot when they go down to Houston to 514 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: get that road w in the way Shaun Watson's playing, 515 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: and then that won't be an easy cast down there either, 516 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: And they've got JJ Watt. Everybody's got players. So yeah, 517 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,959 Speaker 1: it's it's it is. It's brutal, and um, you know, 518 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: you see the thing is they're playing hard. Dan In 519 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: my estimation, te Higgins is trying to up up and 520 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: away jump over a guy and make a play. I 521 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: asked him in the zoom after the game. You know, 522 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: in hindsight, would you do that again? Yeah, I'm a playmaker. 523 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: I got to try and make place for my football team. 524 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: So guys are selling out and they're not worried about 525 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: the potential effects on their bodies. But they're just not 526 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: playing smart. You know, there's just honestly, they're just not 527 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: playing smart. In a lot of cases, they're just not 528 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: good enough, you know. And effort is great, but if 529 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: you're not good enough, effort rings hollow after a while. 530 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: And right now, the fans and everybody involved with the 531 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: football team, it's just starving for wins man. They got 532 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: to got to try to find a win or two 533 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: somewhere as they close it out in the last month. 534 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: Appreciate you doing this seeing a couple of days. Look 535 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: forward to it. Be good to see you Dan face 536 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: to face instead of by zoom or by voice. Indeed, 537 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks, you know.

What was young Quentin Spain into growing up 548 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: in Petersburg? I was into basketball and football, and I 549 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: did I try a shot foot Well, I just went 550 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: to the Tratton meet just to see the people run 551 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and two hundred in the full ball one Ruth, Quentin, 552 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: you are a large man. Were you always the biggest 553 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: kid growing up? Yes, I was the biggest kid growing 554 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: up in high school. I was the biggest kid in 555 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: the middle school too. Elementary I was playing running back elementary, 556 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: I played running back in quarterback. I'm glad you mentioned 557 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: playing running back because there's footage of you on the 558 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: internet playing high school basketball, and that's good. But there's 559 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: footage of you as a high school fullback and that 560 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: is phenomenal. You look like Godzilla carrying tiny people on 561 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: your shoulders. How much fun was it for you to 562 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: play fullback in high school? It was great, Like the 563 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: Cloch believed in me and he gave me the rock, 564 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: so he had faith in me. So and I enjoyed it, 565 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: like I was Tyler blogging at the game, so he 566 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: made it fun fund me, Like when we got into 567 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: the red zone, he tamed me in the back. So 568 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: we're doing fun facts with Quentin Spain. You attended West 569 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: Virginia University, which has a history of developing good offensive lineman. 570 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: Why did you choose WVU now to West Virginia because 571 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: I had to go to summer school because I was 572 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: a credit short. When I was a summer school, West 573 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: Virginia stuck with man told me like, whenever you get 574 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: dumbed there, it's come up. So I came to West Virginia. 575 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: I was a week week in the hell behind the camp, 576 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: so they reres certain and I just I caught on 577 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: and see how thing was going, and then I just 578 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: took off the year after that. What was the best 579 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: part of your college experience? Everything about college we're chatting 580 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: with Quentin Spain. Your Twitter profile says mister undrafted, which 581 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: is a reference, unfortunately to what happened in the NFL draft. 582 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: How much did that hurt? They heard a lot like 583 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: it heard being around, like having your family having a 584 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: little draft party, and didn't hear your name call, and 585 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: you projected to go first round when you came back 586 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: your last ship my last year in the same year 587 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: college project the first round and it's slipped to undrafted. 588 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: So I just I carried the name. I said, all right, 589 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna call my something stunt drafted, and I'm gonna 590 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: prove everybody, every team wrong who didn't want to pick them. 591 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: Has anybody ever explained why you weren't drafted. Nobody never 592 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: told me why I wan't drive. So that's in the 593 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: past though. So I just used the motivation and I figured, 594 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: like once I make like I knew I could make 595 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: a team. It's just I just had to pick a 596 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: team will fit for me. And I picked Tennessee at 597 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: a time they need alignment. So I figured, if I 598 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: come in there and do what I had to do, 599 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: I can make the team. And so when I got 600 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: the when I didn't get the phone call from being cut, 601 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: then my agent called me and said I made a team. 602 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: It brought a big smile on my face, and I said, 603 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: it's not it's not over. Yeah, I made a team, 604 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,479 Speaker 1: but I feel like I can be a starter. So 605 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: I just kept working. And then when I became a starter, 606 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: I just took off right there. Quentin, while you were 607 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: with Tennessee and playing in Nashville, you attended to Nashville 608 00:32:55,080 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: Predators NHL playoff where you fired up the crowd by 609 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: doing what take it off my shirt and chugging beard 610 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: with the rush of the offensive line and holding catfishes. 611 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's break this down and let's start with 612 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: taking off your shirt. How did the crowd react to that? First? 613 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: Lawan said, all right, we gotta we gotta. Whatever we do, 614 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: it gotta it. Gotta break the internet, it gotta worldwide. 615 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: So we would thank you. He said, all right, so 616 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get I'm gonna bring the cat fishes. So 617 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: we got to the game and he snucked the catfishes 618 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: in like at first win, like we didn't know he 619 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: gonna get the cat fishes. So he snucked the catfishes 620 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: in the cooler. They let him slide because we went 621 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: through the back and they let us in so we 622 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: was in the press box. Luan said, all right, this 623 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do. I want you to hold 624 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: a catfish up over my faith and he'll gonna chug 625 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: his beard from off the cat fish. So then everybody 626 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: like Sprange just took off his shirts, just go crazy. 627 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: So and I said, all right, let's go there. So 628 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: then when they when it happened, we did it, and 629 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: then it just went nationwide. It just blew up. Now 630 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: like every hockey playoff game on the commercials, you will 631 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: see us doing it. It's classic. I highly recommend checking 632 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: out the photos out of the internet. Speaking of shirtless Quentin, 633 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: on your Twitter profile at the top, you can see 634 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: that you have a big tattoo on your back of 635 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: the number sixty seven. So do you always have to 636 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: make sure that you are number sixty seven on whatever 637 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: team you play for? Yes? I do. And if you notice, 638 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: I got missed on josted tat on my back too, 639 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: like sixty seven under it as a jersey stop sixty 640 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: seven was available in Cincinnati. What if it wasn't, I 641 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: would I would have asked whoever had it can agreement? 642 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: What do I have? Like would have came up with 643 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 1: a plan something. There would have been some negotiating. Yeah, 644 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: but it was a rookie, it would have been it's 645 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: just been a said every rookie, you just got to 646 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: give it up. Ruck, He's got to give it up, 647 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: no question about it. If the Bengals had happened to 648 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: have like a five time pro bowler that wore the 649 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: number sixty seven, that might have been a little Yeah, 650 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: it would Yeah, it would have been tough. I think 651 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: I would have had to we still we had to 652 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: negotiate a song, but it worse case the words I 653 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: probably would have when I got to know. Thankfully it 654 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: didn't come to that. Yeah. You posted a picture recently 655 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: of a beautiful watch, a diamond studded gold watch. Are 656 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: you a big watch guy?

So like 666 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: I lost my I lost my one of my best friends. 667 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: He passed, and this was like this wasn't never my 668 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: dream though it was his dream when he was young 669 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: and elementary, Like I never know I was gonna have 670 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: a chance to go to the NFL. But with me 671 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: going through high school and my coach told me that 672 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: he can get me to college. And then when I 673 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: was in college, my my my homeboy passed, So I 674 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: felt like I'm gonna finish. I'm gonna finish it off 675 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: like this is with his dream. So I said, I'm 676 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: just go ahead and play for him. So that's why 677 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: I really, I really went to the LFL for him 678 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: because it was his dream. He loved football, His dad 679 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: was elementary football coach and all that stuff. So I 680 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: just knew that he wanted to do this and he 681 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: couldn't be able to do it. Quentin, for several years, 682 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: you posted a free football camp for kids back home 683 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: in Petersburg. Why do you do it? I do that 684 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: because something like where I'm from his heart, it's it's 685 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: probably like one percent of athletes who make it out 686 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: of Petersburg with Jaane, like because it's either they go 687 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: through the drug process or they get killed, go to 688 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,879 Speaker 1: jail something like that. So it's hard like to make 689 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 1: it out of Petersburg with James. So when I like 690 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: when I was growing up, nobody I've never seen nobody 691 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: to come back there to do counts for kids who 692 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: can't afford four camps and see what it takes to 693 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: make it to the next level, like technique and like 694 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I do it free. So that's 695 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: what reason, man, reason why I come back to my 696 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: hometown to do a free count for kids, Like I 697 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: want to show them that I made it and then 698 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: forget about home. So it's anything impossible. You can get 699 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: out Petersburg. You don't gotta stay in Petersburg. You can 700 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: go somewhere. So I do that with the kids. Like 701 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: sometimes the young kids, I just feel bad, so I'd 702 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 1: be had bouncing house for they keep the young kids 703 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: because you know that the attention span is low, so 704 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: that age group I let them play around with like 705 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: that parents who overdare with them, and then the older 706 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: kid we just do drills and then seven on seven 707 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: and let them have fun in recognition of your generosity. 708 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: The mayor of your hometown proclaimed July first, twenty seventeen, 709 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: Quentin Spain Day. What's it like for your hometown to 710 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: give you a day? I didn't know anything about it 711 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: when when I was at my camp when they gave me, 712 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: they gave me the day, and they gave me the 713 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: key to my city. So that was big, Like I'm 714 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: like a key to the city. That that's like. That 715 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: mean people recognize what I'm doing out here and what 716 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: I'm doing for the community, and that was big time 717 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: for me. I will never forget that day though. All Right, 718 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: a couple more fun facts for Quentin Spain.
