0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>always brought to you by Panini America, the official trading

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>cards for the Dan Patrick Show. I had a conversation

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>yesterday with somebody. Now in the first hour, I mentioned

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I have a source and I was trying to get

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>information about the Cleveland Browns, and either he didn't know

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>or he wasn't going to spill anything, because I said,

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing with the number two pick? Now

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 1>that Russ is signed with the Giant. In fact, when

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to him, I said what about Russ

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 1>And he goes, well, you just signed with the Giants.

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I go, okay, so he's not going to the Cleveland Browns.

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>This is during the phone call. Then I go, okay,

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing. You're going to take Abdull Carter?

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>You got to put him with Miles Garrett. Would you

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>take you to Sanders. But Dion let his son go

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>to Cleveland. Boy, it makes a lot of sense if

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland really likes Shador Sanders. Now, all of a sudden,

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>a rookie contract for your quarterback, and it eases the

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>financial pain of what you stupidly paid to Shaun Watson.

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't given me anything. I said, what about Kirk

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Cousins after the draft? Would you take Kirk Cousins? Maybe, Well,

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>he'd have to be healthy and it would cost us

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 1>a draft pick, all right, couldn't get anything crickets. And

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>then you look what the Giants are doing with Russ

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and Jameis Winston. Are they going to still take Shador Sanders?

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I went the first hour without mentioning the

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers part of the equation. But it is real.

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>It's either Pittsburgh or retirement. That's what it feels like.

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>And I thought it was Minnesota or retirement. But he

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>did go there for six hours last Fridays. Everybody knows

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and what is he waiting for now? If he doesn't

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>want to give an answer till after the draft and

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers are fine with that, I'm fine with it.

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Like it is my job to cover it do. I

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>wish it happen sooner.

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, content, But if it's his time frame and the

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Steelers time frame and they're fine with both of that,

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you know parts of the equation, then I am I'm

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>going all right, who cares? You know, a member of

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the media whining about something. All Right, I'll survive. But

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>you do want to be ahead of the game kind

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>of figure out. Okay, if he goes there, what's it mean?

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>How long is he going to go there for? Would

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>they still take a quarterback in the draft? You know,

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>so there's a lot of different things in there. Cam Ward,

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>it feels like he has cemented himself as the number

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>one overall pick. I'm guessing Tennessee does take him. I

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.359
<v Speaker 1>thought the Giants would try to move up. Cleveland probably

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.839
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to move up. They'll be fine at too.

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>They need help, and you could get Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter,

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and if you truly loved Shudoor Sanders, you take him.

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 1>But you start to look at these quarterbacks and we

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>pump them up because they're the next wave of quarterbacks.

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>And I was curious when we had Matt Miller, the

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>great draft expert for the Mothership on recently, I said,

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:19.119
<v Speaker 1>where would cam Ward be with last year's quarterback clans?

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 3>If we were talking about last year's drafts, cam Ward

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 3>would have been the sixth or seventh guy drafted, probably

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.679
<v Speaker 3>at quarterback, not overall at quarterback. And that might still

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 3>make you a top ten pick, right because those guys

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 3>flew up the board last year. But I do think

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 3>he's being elevated. It is interesting both quarterbacks Sanders and Ward,

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 3>they have some bad habits that are going to need

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 3>coached out of them. Cam Ward's kind of get dismissed

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 3>because he has a strong arm.

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's Matt Miller, draft analyst for the Mothership of

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>where these quarterbacks would be. I think that's the general

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>consensus is cam Ward would be after bo Nicks. JJ

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy is still, you know, front and center for the

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota Vikings, and he was asked one whether or not

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>he's the starting quarterback in Minnesota.

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 4>We as a fan base or even media found out, like,

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 4>you're the guy, the the guy recently?

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 3>When did you know? When did they tell you or

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 3>when does that message to you?

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 5>They haven't told men. I'm happy they didn't because I

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 5>try to earn it every single day, and I never

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 5>want that to be given to me, and it's such

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:29.279
<v Speaker 5>a privileged and opportunity to give that give me that chance,

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 5>and I'm just going to make the most of it

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 5>every single day.

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 6>All right.

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>That's with Kay Adams up in Adams JJ McCarthy. Look,

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>it might be fake humility, but it's going over well

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in Minnesota. So you're looking at Aaron Rodgers and saying,

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's Pittsburgh. When is it going to be Pittsburgh?

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>And what do they do in the draft, because I

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you say, hey, we're going to bring

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>in Aaron, but by the way, we're going to use

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>our first round. You imagine if they use a first

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 1>round draft pick, I think the twenty first overall pick

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>on Jackson dark So he would be with a team

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>that uses their first round pick on another quarterback. Now

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 1>do I think it makes sense for Pittsburgh If you

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.039
<v Speaker 1>really think Jackson Dart can play, then it makes sense.

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know it if it made sense in Green

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Bay at the time, I didn't think it made sense

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>because Aaron was playing well. He went on his revenge tour.

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.599
<v Speaker 1>You've never gotten in a wide receiver in the first round,

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 1>and now did it turn out to be the correct call? Yes,

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay makes a lot of correct calls. But at

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>the time I thought, and even when we had Rogers

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>on after the draft, I think that's when he decided

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>that he was going to have a larger glass at tequila.

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 1>After he realized that Jordan Love the Packers have selected

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>quarterback Jordan Love, give me a little bit more tequila

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in there?

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 6>All right?

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Poll question? By the way, good morning.

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 1>If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner, we say

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>good morning to our radio affiliates. What's the poll question

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>for hour two? I can't believe there's this.

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 7>Much support for Jameis Winston, but that better pregame speech

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 7>guy on the Giants right now, Jameis Winston still has

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 7>ninety percent of that vote.

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, odd that we came up with that, But we

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>did think about who's going to motivate you in that

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Giants locker room when you get ready to go out

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and face the Eagles. Is it Jamis Winston or Russell Wilson.

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's ride p giant.

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 2>We're putting up there right now.

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 7>Question Paully sent over if you could put one into

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 7>place A hard salary cap and baseball or a return

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 7>to the old transfer system in college sports.

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 2>M Well, it's a little heavy. That's just what we do.

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, un exactly lighthearted sports radio conversation.

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I went our one.

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 7>You can't get much more lighthearted than Jamis Winston v.

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 7>Russell Wilson. I mean, so Russ goes to the Giants.

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, the Patriots got Stefan Diggs, which is the

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Patriots have had a sneaky good offseason. They have the

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>fourth pick in the draft. Worst case scenario, they end

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>up with Travis Hunter Abdul Carter. That's not a bad

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>consolation prize. You feel like you do have your quarterback.

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>They had a whole lot of money to spend. They

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 1>had salary cap money, and Drake may I thought, did

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a for a team that had nothing on offense. He

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>made something with that team and they have added some

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 1>pieces offensive lineman, defensive lineman. Now you have the fourth

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>pick in the draft. Stefan Diggs was on his way

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>to the Hall of Fame. He may still be on

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>his way to the Hall of Fame. But I just

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>wonder about you know, when you he wasn't healthy, got

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>banged up in Houston. You know whatever happened in Buffalo

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>where you know he ended up in Houston. Now you

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>end up in New England, still coming off surgery. But

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>if you look at what he did in Buffalo, here's

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the most one hundred plus catch seasons in the first

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>nine years of a career. Antonio Brown in six of

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>his first nine years had over one hundred catches with Pittsburgh.

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Stefan Diggs has had five, Brandon Marshall had five, Wes

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Welker had five, DeVante Adams for DeAndre Hopkins four, Marvin

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Harrison four and Keenan Allen four.

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 8>Stead of the day, stead of the day, that's stat

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 8>of the day. Stat of the day.

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 9>Here comes that what stat.

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 6>Of the Day?

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Brought to you by Panedi America.

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>The official trading cards of the DP show Antonio Brown

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>was going to the Hall of Fame. I don't think

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>anybody had more catches over a five year window than

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.719
<v Speaker 1>he did. But he had six seasons. And look, I

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>think when he got knocked out concussed by Vontez perfect,

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it seemed to change him. And I think

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>we've seen and Tonio Brown is not a normal person.

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that hit did to him. In

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, I always thought it just he seemed different

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>after that.

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't know him.

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I think we've had him on once or twice, maybe

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>at the Super Bowl one time. Charismatic dude. But times

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>have changed though. You know when he freaked out, you know,

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:27.679
<v Speaker 1>left the building during a game. Stefan Diggs is you know,

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>he was in Minnesota. He wanted to have and get paid,

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>have his moment, got it in Buffalo, and then all

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, Buffalo seemed to be better, you know,

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 1>by you know, getting rid of Stefan Diggs. It's hard

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>to say that about a Hall of Fame where you go,

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, the team got better because they got rid

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>of a Hall of Fame caliber wide receiver. I don't

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>know if any of these receivers are going to the

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame. Antonio Brown, Stefan Diggs, Brandon Marshall, Wes Wilker,

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 1>DeVante Adams is probably going to the Hall of Fame.

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Hopkins, Marvin Harrison is already a Hall of Famer.

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if catches matter, Yeah, but I haven't

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>been in the voting room or Peter King's the only

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>one I've really talked about what goes on in there

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and what they factor in, and I don't know if

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>it's fluid when they start to look at Hall of famers.

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Are you looking at the same thing now with wide

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>receivers as you did five years ago? What about ten

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>years ago? I remember when it was man, if you

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>get to a thousand catches, it was like ten thousand

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>yards for a running back. I don't think it's the

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>case in either situation. Now are we going to have?

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.839
<v Speaker 1>How many running backs? Are Christian McCaffrey's not going to

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 1>the Hall of Fame, he said, I don't think so.

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Dereck Henry going to the Hall of Fame. I don't

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>know if there's any other running back that is playing now,

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Like Saquon Barkley need to have three or four more

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 1>great seasons, but he certainly got back on track in

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>a big way. And you're playing in Philadelphia behind that

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 1>offensive line with all those weapons. He could end up,

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, four or five fifteen hundred yard seasons, win

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.559
<v Speaker 1>a Super Bowl two thousand yards, then you'd be a

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer. But yeah, I start to look at

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>these numbers and you go, I don't know what matters anymore,

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>because for a long long time, it felt like the

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 1>running game was the short passing game, that we don't

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>need a running back, we just need a running back

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>who can block and also catch passes. Now, all of

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, we got a couple of running backs who

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 1>were getting fifteen, eighteen, two thousand yards, and now it's

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of back in vogue, and Ashton Genty could be

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>one of those running backs who comes in and plays

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 1>right away. When you get a comp of Emmitt Smith

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>by one draft analyst, So when somebody says Ashton Genty,

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>they go, Emmitt Smith with speed.

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Whoh I draft him?

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:09.079
<v Speaker 1>Now? I voted for him for the Heisman, but you

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>can't go wrong with who won. But in my mind,

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Ashton gent what he did? You know, he led his

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>team then you know, ended up finished runner up and

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.439
<v Speaker 1>he'll probably be the seventh pick overall.

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.959
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, Pauline, Yeah, If you look at the all time

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:29.319
<v Speaker 10>rushing leaders, active players on the list are Derrick Henry, Ezekiel.

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.839
<v Speaker 10>Elliott's got nine thousand yards, but he's it was all

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 10>done in his.

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 8>First four years.

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he's not.

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 6>Nope.

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 10>Joe Mixon is an all purpose back Saquan's at seven

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 10>thousand yards, but he's more all purpose yardage. Aaron Jones,

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.679
<v Speaker 10>Nick Chubb, Josh Jacobs is having.

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 8>A very good career. Yeah, it's early.

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.439
<v Speaker 10>Going back to Antonio Brown, he had a six year

0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 10>window where he had seven hundred catches in six years,

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 10>all made the Pro Bowl every single time, and had

0:12:55.080 --> 0:13:00.079
<v Speaker 10>four First team All pros. If he didn't implode and

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 10>left the sport due to injury, would he get the

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 10>Hall of Fame Hall pass?

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's say he had seven years that he played

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL, or even six. You know, we do

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>have precedent here. You have Terrell Davis. Now we would

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>always bring up Gail Sears, but Terrell Davis's modern day.

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, injury cut short his career. If Antonio Brown

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 1>had an injury that cut short his career, then maybe

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you're not supposed to factor in anything other than what

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>you do on the football field. The voters are told

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>that other sports they do factor in who you are,

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>But I also have to factor in how you were

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 1>as a teammate. That's the only other aspect with this

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>that I can look at your performance. I also have

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to look at you give and then you take away

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.319
<v Speaker 1>and that's going to hurt him. It's like Tara Owens

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>to me, was a first ballot Hall of Famer, but

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 1>he didn't get in first ballot.

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 6>I don't think.

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 2>What second or third time.

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Mar Michael Irvin, you know, to me, first maun Hall

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of Famer, but off the field, and they're not supposed

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>to be factoring that in.

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Will they factor that in with Antonio Brown?

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 6>They will?

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 1>And not that Stefan Diggs is in the Antonio Brown

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>category of disruptive. But it didn't go well in Buffalo

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>at the end. I mean, Houston just didn't work out.

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>You thought with you know, those two young receivers there

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and you bring in Stephan Diggs with that quarterback and wow,

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>all right, you guys can challenge for the AFC title.

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 11>Yes, Marvin, Yeah, And I think Stephan Diggs might be

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 11>in the Tiki Barber category. Say, if the Buffalo Bills

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 11>win a Super Bowl and they win without him, that's

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 11>gonna hurt his chances. I think that's what hurts Tiki Barbie.

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 11>If he stays another year and they win a Super

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 11>Bowl with him as a big contributor, I think his

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 11>Hall of Fame case is way stronger than it is now.

0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Look at that, Marvin is hijacking Paul's Tiki Barber.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 11>I've owned that for a decade. At the end, Tiki

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 11>Barber was as good as any running back.

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 6>But I think I.

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 8>Got the point.

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Mark, Yeah, easy, he got easy. You're piling on, piling on.

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 8>I want to get some eighty five bears talking them.

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Mark, pauliar Dan is the great.

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Paulie thinks more highly of Tiki Barber's Hall of Fame

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>chances than Tiki Barber does.

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 6>I think.

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, what do you think, Tikki? I don't know, Paulie,

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 1>what do you think?

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do you know what he did in the last

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>five years and fifteen hundred number of catchers. There's nobody

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>else in America who talks about Tiki Barber's career.

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 8>Maybe for a reason, we.

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Can't even get Tiki Barber on to talk about Tiki

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Barber's career. He's probably like, no, I don't want to

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 1>do that. All right, let me take a break, all right, Ernie,

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I gotta clean up my act. I got a professional

<v Speaker 6>Look.

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Shouldn't have worn this sweatshirt with Ernie'll probably have a

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>bow tie on, you know, be all professorial.

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh, look at that Ernesto. He looks sloppy, just

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 2>like me.

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.840

<v Speaker 4>behind the stories in the world of sports and pop culture,

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 4>stories that well other shows don't seem to have the

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 4>time to discuss.

0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 12>And the fact that we've been friends for the last

<v Speaker 1>of Famer. He wins Sports emmyses. Ernie Johnson Junior, the

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>third who joins us on the program. Great to have

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>you back, Ernie.

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:41.199
<v Speaker 2>How are you?

0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:44.920
<v Speaker 6>If I had a tail, it'd be Wagon Day.

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 9>I like it.

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 6>I like it.

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you look at the different jobs that

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>you have now you still get to work with Chuck,

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 1>but when you do March maddness, compare that to working

0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the NBA show.

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 6>Think the biggest difference is Clark Kellogg, who is He's

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 6>so tied into the college game. He's a guy you

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:13.479
<v Speaker 6>just lean on like crazy because for us, you know,

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 6>it's we pay attention to the college game, but our

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:20.879
<v Speaker 6>focus is the NBA. So you really need to have

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.960
<v Speaker 6>a guy like Clark or Seth Davis in the Atlanta

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 6>studio or Jay Wright somebody like that. So that's been

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 6>the biggest difference. But I think just in the terms

0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:36.359
<v Speaker 6>of the vibe and how we do the show, I

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:41.160
<v Speaker 6>think it took a little while, but you know, the CBS,

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:45.119
<v Speaker 6>with their you know, with the way they do things,

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 6>they kind of said, Okay, yeah, you guys can you

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:50.720
<v Speaker 6>guys can do this. You know, you guys can be

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.560
<v Speaker 6>your NBA kind of guys and do your show that way.

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.320
<v Speaker 6>And that started, I mean the first year, you know,

0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.399
<v Speaker 6>they wanted the guys in for a for a production

0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 6>meeting two hours before we went on the air, and

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:08.960
<v Speaker 6>Chucks hadvice that's that's a hard no. And so so

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.800
<v Speaker 6>once we got through that adjustment period that you know,

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 6>we pretty much we pretty much do our.

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Thing, but you have situations and you had it recently

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 1>with Charles that he might not be watching what he's

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 1>supposed to watch, and then you have to correct him.

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how college basketball fans react to that,

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 1>whereas NBA fans like, we kind of expect Chuck to

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 1>go this game sucks, but with college basketball march madness

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>can't exactly get away with that.

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 6>Oh we're able to get away with it because we

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 6>still had Kenny and Clark there who could cover that game.

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 6>It's not like, not like we were going to ignore it,

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 6>but it was. What was funny is that he looked

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 6>down like he was going to really say something, like

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 6>he had made a couple of notes and then realized

0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 6>he hadn't watched any of it. It's like it was

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 6>like a couple of years ago. Chuck has always taken

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:07.960
<v Speaker 6>great bride and his Oscar picks and says, you know,

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.359
<v Speaker 6>he never misses Juan And so we were talking about

0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 6>Best Picture, and nineteen eighteen was up for Best Picture,

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.399
<v Speaker 6>and so we're talking about it, and he says, I

0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 6>think the best picture is going to be nineteen eighteen.

0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 6>I said, well, tell me about it. He said, we

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.840
<v Speaker 6>know it's your basic you know what, I haven't seen it.

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, So moments like that, you're kind of you've

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 6>kind of come to expect.

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 1>When did you realize though, that this was different? With

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>how social media was viewing you guys and the clips

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that are played over and over, like there's a seismic shift.

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 1>When I did Sports Center, you watched Sports Center. Now

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>people don't watch Sports Center as much as they'll take

0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:54.879
<v Speaker 1>clips and watch them on social media. How did that

0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.720
<v Speaker 1>affect how you guys did TNT.

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if it had a great effect. I

0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.160
<v Speaker 6>know it made it more accessible for folks who didn't

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 6>want to stay up till one thirty or two o'clock

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:10.880
<v Speaker 6>in the morning and watch the show, even though sometimes

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 6>it would be replayed on NBA TV in the morning.

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.159
<v Speaker 6>But I mean, that's the world we live in. I

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.880
<v Speaker 6>mean that was and you're you and I are both

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 6>old enough to remember DT that you know, and there

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:28.200
<v Speaker 6>may have been times where you had a you did

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.960
<v Speaker 6>a show and you didn't know exactly how it was

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 6>received or if people thought something was funny, and the

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.680
<v Speaker 6>only way you knew was if Rudy Marsky wrote about

0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 6>it on Monday. You know, it was like, and now

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 6>everything is so instantaneous. It's like you throw a line

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 6>out there and all of a sudden you're getting skewered

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 6>or you're getting praised, and yeah, it's just a different world.

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.439
<v Speaker 6>But you you don't do it for the you know,

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:55.680
<v Speaker 6>how many likes you get or anything like that. You're

0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 6>just doing your job and that's how we that's how

0:21:57.880 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 6>we do ours.

0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:01.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that we didn't have social media. I just

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 1>because we did it without knowing. As you said, if

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:09.120
<v Speaker 1>anybody's what, I didn't know ratings, We didn't know anything,

0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:12.639
<v Speaker 1>huh huh. And I remember the first time I found

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.679
<v Speaker 1>out that we might be not have a following or

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 1>be popular is I went to the SP's and all

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, you run into Jerry Seinfeld and you

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>run into Bill Murray and they're reciting lines back to you,

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:29.879
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, I'll be damn, there are people actually

0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>watching this show.

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, no, I know exactly what you're talking about.

0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:38.639
<v Speaker 6>And I was, I was so you know my story

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:42.439
<v Speaker 6>along that Vein is being out in LA for a

0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:47.800
<v Speaker 6>playoff game, and walked away shaking my head because Denzel

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 6>Washington knew who I was. He's like, I watch you

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 6>guys all the time. I was like, really, that's amazing. Yeah.

0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:00.320
<v Speaker 6>So there were those moments that that kind of shop

0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 6>and grab you, and it's like, I guess we do

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:04.399
<v Speaker 6>have a lot of folks who are who were watching

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 6>the show.

0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Is Ernie Johnson, Hall of Famer, Turner Sports Studio host

0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:12.879
<v Speaker 1>inside the NBA State of College Sports. I know that

0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:17.359
<v Speaker 1>nil transfer portal is a topic of conversation. Where do

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you stand with this?

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 6>I think that I think we all agreed that something

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:27.400
<v Speaker 6>had to be done and that and that there had

0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:29.640
<v Speaker 6>to be a way that the college athletes who were

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:34.960
<v Speaker 6>who were making all this money for these schools needed

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.840
<v Speaker 6>to be compensated one, you know, some way. But then

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 6>it just it just went from hey, this that's a

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:44.640
<v Speaker 6>good idea to all right, whatever you want, and it

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 6>was like a zero to sixty, zero to one hundred

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 6>and and so that's how I kind of look at

0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 6>it is that, yeah, we we all kind of agreed,

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 6>But then are there should there be some limitations? Should

0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:02.400
<v Speaker 6>or is this going to just price up the smaller

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 6>schools out because they don't they can't lure anybody into

0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:09.840
<v Speaker 6>their into their places. So yeah, I think I think

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 6>just in that regard that yeah, we're we just kind

0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 6>of let it happen without without any regulation. And then

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:24.960
<v Speaker 6>and and the transfer portal is I would not want

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 6>to be a coach, and I can certainly see where

0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:31.360
<v Speaker 6>where guys like Tony Bennett and Jay Wright and others

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:34.439
<v Speaker 6>have said, you know, it's enough of this. You know,

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna work my ass off and recruit this kid

0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 6>and he's gonna come to my place. And now I've

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:46.119
<v Speaker 6>got to keep recruiting him as he's in my program,

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:50.040
<v Speaker 6>because he's just gonna leave, you know, if he's not

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:54.680
<v Speaker 6>getting the run that he wants or whatever. So no,

0:24:55.000 --> 0:25:01.640
<v Speaker 6>it's it's it's changed everything dramatic Lee, for sure. And

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 6>and it's always strange to look down as I'm you know,

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 6>I'm doing my numbers and my rosters and that kind

0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:11.200
<v Speaker 6>of thing when I'm getting ready in the months leading

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:13.160
<v Speaker 6>up to the say wow, this kid's been in Kyle,

0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:16.239
<v Speaker 6>this guy's been this is the sixth season, you know,

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 6>And so yeah, that's that's kind of been the amazing

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 6>part to me.

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Did you fill out a bracket?

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:31.400
<v Speaker 6>I did, and it's really good. Oh it's really good.

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:36.160
<v Speaker 6>I think I could have it right here. I've been

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:38.640
<v Speaker 6>in New York. I've got a two week I got

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:41.679
<v Speaker 6>a two weeks stay in New York for this. I

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 6>did not go back to Atlanta and then come back

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:50.240
<v Speaker 6>in between the rounds because all I'm doing is basically

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:57.399
<v Speaker 6>working on the show. So okay, this is really good

0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 6>for your show that I'm rifling through here.

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's good radio.

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:10.960
<v Speaker 6>Let's see one, two, three, four, five, six. Okay, I

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 6>got ten of the sixteen Sweet sixteen, seven out of

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 6>eight Elite eight and entire final four still, which is

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:27.360
<v Speaker 6>not bad in my in my opinion, I've got I've

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:32.840
<v Speaker 6>got Florida beating uh, Michigan State and Duke beating Tennessee

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 6>in the final four. How about you let that meat?

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 6>Does that meet with your approval?

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? But why don't you let me pat you on

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:43.639
<v Speaker 1>the back? Not you pat yourself on the back that.

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:45.439
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:48.399
<v Speaker 6>I think that's a great idea. I don't know what.

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 6>I don't know what came over.

0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Like, do you have sports Emmys that you pack with

0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:53.719
<v Speaker 1>you when you go to New York for you know,

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:57.359
<v Speaker 1>just so you can be unfamiliar surroundings, just.

0:26:57.240 --> 0:26:58.399
<v Speaker 6>A just a few of them.

0:26:58.480 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what I thought.

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.879
<v Speaker 6>It's you know what, you know what's bad. It's like

0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:08.920
<v Speaker 6>packing for for eight shows and two weeks up here,

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 6>So I like I've been living in this all star hoodie.

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 6>The whole the whole time in New York. So you

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:19.159
<v Speaker 6>didn't really expect me to get up and put a

0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:19.879
<v Speaker 6>bow tie on.

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm glad you didn't because I had a sweatshirt

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:24.520
<v Speaker 1>on it and I go, oh my god, I got

0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Ernie Johnson on.

0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:29.639
<v Speaker 6>I live in these I would if I didn't have

0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 6>to get dressed up. This would be me all the time.

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you do a casual broadcast one day?

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:38.120
<v Speaker 6>Mmmm?

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 2>You guys get to do whatever you want.

0:27:40.760 --> 0:27:43.440
<v Speaker 6>Why why should we do a casual brook Why not?

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:46.399
<v Speaker 6>We have certain standards?

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh you do, okay?

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:52.879
<v Speaker 6>You know what the guys, the other guys are casual sometimes.

0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, Charles is always making fun of Anthony Davis. You know,

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:58.199
<v Speaker 1>street clothes, So why don't you guys have a street

0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:00.159
<v Speaker 1>clothes show?

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 6>All right?

0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 2>And homage to Anthony Davis?

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 6>That, I don't know if it would come off as why.

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 1>What's the biggest storyline the rest of the season to you?

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 6>In the NBA? In the NBA, you know, I I

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:24.879
<v Speaker 6>think things are kind of looking a little bit clear

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:27.159
<v Speaker 6>cut as far as who's going to finish where and

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 6>who they're who they might play. I think my my

0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:35.119
<v Speaker 6>biggest question is is okay See ready for this? You know,

0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 6>it's because obviously they have got a squad and s

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 6>g A is unbelievable. Now can you get over that

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:51.880
<v Speaker 6>hump and get to that Western Conference final? And then

0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 6>can you get to the NBA finals? So I think,

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, is ok c ready for this, for this step?

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:02.760
<v Speaker 6>Because we already know Boston's ready for that step? Is

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 6>Cleveland ready for that step? You know? Does a great

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 6>regular season translate? So those to me are the big

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 6>questions because I don't see a whole lot of other

0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 6>folks who could win the title. You know, I can

0:29:15.720 --> 0:29:20.160
<v Speaker 6>see Boston in the finals. I could see Cleveland maybe

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 6>in the finals if they're you know, if they're at

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:25.479
<v Speaker 6>home and if they get a break here and there.

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 6>But I you know, out West, it's okay See, And

0:29:28.440 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if Houston's ready for that yet. It's

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 6>been fun watching them, but and you can't count Denver

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 6>out if you know, when Joker's healthy. But I think

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 6>the question, yeah, the question is is okay See ready

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 6>for this?

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 2>When do you know when Barkley is truly upset?

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 6>Truly upset?

0:29:49.680 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like mad don't.

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:54.680
<v Speaker 6>I don't know that I've ever really seen Chuck very

0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 6>mad Chuck is you know, Chuck comes in every night

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 6>the same way. Hey, let's have some fun tonight, you know.

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:13.400
<v Speaker 6>And so I haven't really seen him really hot. Yeah, Shack,

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:19.080
<v Speaker 6>I've seen Shack get hot. You know. One night was

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 6>when we were going, you know, he got mad because

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 6>Chuck took all his time, and then he just kind

0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 6>of clammed up and he didn't want to talk, he

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:29.959
<v Speaker 6>didn't want to be part of the show. And and

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 6>and we've had we had a night where he was

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 6>late for a show, and and he and I kind

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:37.240
<v Speaker 6>of talked, and I said, man, he got a beat. Man.

0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 6>I left three hours ever the traffic was there. And

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 6>then and then the next day he didn't even talk

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 6>to me. It's like I would look at it. I

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 6>looked at him working with the show, and I'm asking

0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:50.320
<v Speaker 6>him a question and I'm getting three word answers, and

0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:52.520
<v Speaker 6>I finally just had to do in a commercial break,

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:54.240
<v Speaker 6>just had to get up and give him a big

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:56.960
<v Speaker 6>old hug and say, man, you know I love you.

0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 6>You know that. You know I don't mean anything by that,

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:01.920
<v Speaker 6>you know, And then and then he was okay. But yeah,

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:03.800
<v Speaker 6>there have been a couple of times where he gets

0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 6>he'll get a little sensitive. I don't know how mad

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:08.880
<v Speaker 6>he'll get, but he'll clam up a little bit, and

0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 6>then you're then you're pulling teeth.

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:13.560
<v Speaker 2>It's like you're a parent there.

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.680
<v Speaker 6>The way it's been best described dad is that I'm

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 6>the dad driving cross country with these three guys in

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 6>the back seat saying one more peep out of you,

0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:26.960
<v Speaker 6>and I'm turning this thing around.

0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Don't make me come back there.

0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:31.080
<v Speaker 6>That's exactly right.

0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Don't make me come back there. Well, who would make

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you more nervous? Chuck or shake? I guess Shack, you know,

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:40.280
<v Speaker 1>given the signs make.

0:31:40.160 --> 0:31:42.400
<v Speaker 6>Me more nervous. What if I if I were to

0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:46.640
<v Speaker 6>pull that? Yeah, No, he's shaq Is. I have no

0:31:46.760 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 6>fear of Shack at all. Shack. Shack and I have

0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 6>a special relationship. And he always says it dates back

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:53.600
<v Speaker 6>to when I went and did a story on him

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 6>when he was at L s U and he was

0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 6>living in San Antonio, and he's I remember that day

0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:01.200
<v Speaker 6>and night and when you can't and it really wasn't

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 6>it was nineteen ninety one. But but yeah, I think

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:11.920
<v Speaker 6>I think that we, you know, we had a great

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:14.600
<v Speaker 6>thing going with that bunch, you know, we really have

0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:15.320
<v Speaker 6>and so.

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 2>And what do you what are you doing now? What

0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:18.160
<v Speaker 2>are you going to do?

0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 6>What am I going to do? Yeah?

0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Are you following everybody?

0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:27.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah? That's I mean, this is the plan. This is

0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:28.959
<v Speaker 6>the plan. That's we're going to do. Continue to do

0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 6>the show, okay, And but it's just not going to

0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 6>air on TNT because the NBA on tn T is

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:37.960
<v Speaker 6>no more after after these playoffs. But we'll still do

0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:41.040
<v Speaker 6>the show in Atlanta, Okay, It'll still do it with

0:32:41.080 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 6>the same production croup. It'll just air on ABC, Slash

0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 6>ESPN on certain nights.

0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, because I think it looked kind of shaky there

0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>for a while that we didn't know what direction. You

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 1>probably were left out in the cold two on this.

0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>But and then if it was moving out of Atlanta,

0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 1>would you continue to do it?

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 5>Me?

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 2>No, that was a breaker.

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 6>That's yeah, that's home and it's and so yeah, I

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 6>think look I can kind of see the finish line.

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:17.760
<v Speaker 6>You know. It's I remember when Don maguire hired me

0:33:17.840 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 6>at Turner back in nineteen eighty nine, and he was

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 6>like May seven eight years in that studio chair. That's all.

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:28.040
<v Speaker 6>You know, You're not gonna want it any more than that.

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:32.040
<v Speaker 6>Now it's been thirty five and and so there are

0:33:32.040 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 6>a lot of things to do out there, and and

0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:38.400
<v Speaker 6>so I can't wait for next year, can't wait to

0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:41.840
<v Speaker 6>can't wait to stay with the guys. But and then

0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:44.840
<v Speaker 6>we'll just see for the years after that if you

0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 6>know what comes up and what I what I feel

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:47.560
<v Speaker 6>like doing.

0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Adam Lefko is listening intently on that that last dance leftgo.

0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 6>Adam Leftko is great. Yeah, he's really really, really solid.

0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 6>And so but it's not, no, do don't get this twisted.

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:05.600
<v Speaker 6>It's not like I'm going to hang We're going to

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:10.960
<v Speaker 6>hang up here and suddenly I have retired. No. You

0:34:11.040 --> 0:34:14.080
<v Speaker 6>know a lot of times when you're running a marathon

0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:16.839
<v Speaker 6>from you can see the finish line from a long

0:34:16.880 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 6>way away. Not that I have any marathon experience, so

0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:24.240
<v Speaker 6>it's not like I'm not like, I'm in this sprint

0:34:24.280 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 6>and the finish line is eight meters away, and it's

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 6>just that I can. When you get to this point,

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 6>it's like, all right, let's see how this is looking.

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:40.200
<v Speaker 1>They will survive without us, which is amazing, Ernie. They will, Yeah,

0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think the medium will continue?

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I've been told, Hey, they'll survive

0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 1>without you, So I'm going to take their word for it.

0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm done in three.

0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:56.240
<v Speaker 6>Years, all right, So you've made the decision. Three years? Yes,

0:34:56.360 --> 0:34:57.920
<v Speaker 6>how old will you be in three years?

0:34:58.040 --> 0:34:59.719
<v Speaker 2>I will be seventy one?

0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but seventy one in three years.

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Why don't we go out together?

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:10.080
<v Speaker 6>Wouldn't that be nice? Right? Wouldn't that that would just

0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:10.839
<v Speaker 6>tug at the heart.

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:16.279
<v Speaker 1>But you go first, You go first, and then the

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:19.000

0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:32.600
<v Speaker 1>telling me a story yesterday, and this has to do

0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:35.719
<v Speaker 1>with a two famous people and they were dating each

0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:39.759
<v Speaker 1>other and one's a former athlete, the other is a

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:45.719
<v Speaker 1>famous entertainer. And he was talking about, you know, when

0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 1>they went out they don't date anymore, but he said, yeah,

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:55.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I called her i'my and my friend goes, i'my.

0:37:55.600 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 1>He goes, yes. She could never start a conversation a

0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:02.960
<v Speaker 1>sentence without saying I or me. And his nickname was i'my.

0:38:03.239 --> 0:38:04.960
<v Speaker 8>Wow, oh I know.

0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:13.319
<v Speaker 1>No names, but uh I I can see it now.

0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 1>But it didn't work out. You know, they went their

0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:20.759
<v Speaker 1>separate ways. Yeah, I me, We're going to go in

0:38:20.800 --> 0:38:21.640
<v Speaker 1>another direction here.

0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:24.040
<v Speaker 7>So it's a little awkward too, because when your your

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:26.799
<v Speaker 7>critique of that person is like you always talk about

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:28.360
<v Speaker 7>I am me. Everything is about you, Like, can't we

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:30.279
<v Speaker 7>talk about me once in a while, And you're like,

0:38:30.280 --> 0:38:32.279
<v Speaker 7>oh so you you want everything to be about you?

0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:38.359
<v Speaker 2>I'my kind of win called her i'my. How about we

0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:39.120
<v Speaker 2>play in around.

0:38:39.520 --> 0:38:43.080
<v Speaker 1>You're either in or you're out, Paul, what's the first

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:44.440
<v Speaker 1>topic for in around?

0:38:44.520 --> 0:38:46.040
<v Speaker 8>Just to recap, I'm going to make a statement.

0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:49.840
<v Speaker 10>If you're in, you say in, and then subsequent Cooper

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:53.120
<v Speaker 10>Flag should stay in college another year.

0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:54.080
<v Speaker 8>I'll go last.

0:38:54.680 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Tod h Man, I think he.

0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:07.960
<v Speaker 7>Should probably go all right, Marvin out out out, So

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:08.879
<v Speaker 7>I guess that means I'm out.

0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:12.080
<v Speaker 10>Sorry, Yeah, I mean I know he has to go

0:39:12.160 --> 0:39:14.640
<v Speaker 10>pro to get to the second contract, the super Max

0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:16.799
<v Speaker 10>and all the stuff. He did skip his senior year

0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:21.480
<v Speaker 10>of high school, right, so he's already well advanced. Imagine

0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:24.520
<v Speaker 10>if he did the opposite and stayed in college, it

0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:27.839
<v Speaker 10>would be so novel. He'd get truckloads of coverage. He'd

0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:30.480
<v Speaker 10>get bigger, stronger, and better as he entered the league,

0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:33.439
<v Speaker 10>and he'd actually be seen more by basketball fans playing

0:39:33.440 --> 0:39:36.480
<v Speaker 10>at Duke than he would with the Washington Wizards. No

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:39.799
<v Speaker 10>one's watching the Wizards barely. If he gets there next year. Yeah,

0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:41.640
<v Speaker 10>I think it would be such a novel move in

0:39:41.680 --> 0:39:43.680
<v Speaker 10>this era's for him to do it, and he'd get

0:39:43.719 --> 0:39:44.480
<v Speaker 10>truckloads of cover.

0:39:44.719 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh he would, But he'd get truckloads of money when

0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:50.920
<v Speaker 1>he gets to the that's the second contract in the NBA.

0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:52.799
<v Speaker 8>What do you think he could asked for to stay

0:39:52.840 --> 0:39:53.399
<v Speaker 8>another year?

0:39:54.480 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Ten million?

0:39:55.719 --> 0:39:59.400
<v Speaker 8>That's that's about what the number one pick in the

0:39:59.440 --> 0:39:59.839
<v Speaker 8>draft makes.

0:39:59.880 --> 0:40:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Now, yeah, but that's why they go in early. So

0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:05.120
<v Speaker 1>you'll get into that second and third he's gonna have.

0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:07.920
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna make a billion dollars. Let's say he's he's

0:40:07.960 --> 0:40:13.840
<v Speaker 1>he's legitimate, and he's healthy. He'll get three MAX deals.

0:40:13.960 --> 0:40:16.200
<v Speaker 1>You get the rookie deal, then you get another deal.

0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:20.360
<v Speaker 1>And he's eighteen, so he's going to get two max deals.

0:40:20.400 --> 0:40:22.279
<v Speaker 1>He's going to make close to a billion dollars. But

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 1>it's all said and done, all right, what else do

0:40:24.520 --> 0:40:24.680
<v Speaker 1>we have?

0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:25.200
<v Speaker 6>The interunt.

0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:28.160
<v Speaker 10>I'm in favor of a much more stringent transfer system

0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:29.320
<v Speaker 10>in college sports.

0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:30.160
<v Speaker 8>I'll go first.

0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm in shock er, Yeah, yeah, yeah, seatan.

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:41.919
<v Speaker 7>Much more stringent is a tough word. I'm okay with parameters,

0:40:43.480 --> 0:40:45.680
<v Speaker 7>but if given the choice between lock it all down

0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:47.440
<v Speaker 7>or wild West, I'll take wild West.

0:40:47.640 --> 0:40:50.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, Marvin, I'm out here we go.

0:40:50.600 --> 0:40:51.000

<v Speaker 10>Russell Wilson stay with the New York Giants will be

0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:14.640

0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:29.080
