I mean, I don't know why 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.640 we don't go back to this tu Man format more often. 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:51.440 It feels pure. Do you mean, like perpetuity, just moving forward? Yeah, 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.600 I mean maybe when they wipe out the entire like 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.240 digital side of our news operation, we wind up at 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.280 some local radio station in San Diego doing something like this. Well, 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.080 you know what, it's good to have options and this 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.280 is reps because West West out today. Greg back in 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.720 the field. Where's Greg today? Greg? I believe is in 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.600 uh San Diego, excuse me, Los Angeles, Costa Masa, outside 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.160 of San Diego. All right, A lot of different things. 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.119 He's with the Rams today and uh, he'll be back 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.600 with us on Friday, hopefully West as well, but we'll see. 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.080 But today it's just you and me, Mark and they 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.280 are show. If you are newer to the show, you 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.880 may not be aware. And we even have Alex Welke 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.800 behind the glass. Was original producer that the Around the 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.400 NFL podcast started as the A t L Debate Club 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.280 with Mark and I tacked onto the back of the 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:41.720 Dave Damagek Football program eleven or twelve minutes, you know, 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.960 at the end of a hundred and eighty minutes show 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.320 by Dave solid also is it's one way to describe 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.880 it was early episodes of our Let's put it this way. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.840 We we tried to go back and listen to some 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.960 of these shows on our website. They are no longer 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.120 findable for the most part on our site. Is that 0:01:58.160 --> 0:01:59.800 a bad thing? Not really. I think the league at 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:04.040 some points said scrub this out of existence. So well 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.800 they're not gonna scrub this baby. Guess we're back anyway. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.359 This is also a video show today, So if you 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.640 check out NFL dot com slash a t N video uh, 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:18.000 this will go up live nine thirty pm Eastern, six 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.920 thirty Pacific. If you ever see figure it out. What 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.400 do you want from me all the night for you? 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.239 You know? Anyway, big show today, big show, just the 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.480 two of us, but a lot to talk about. Uh. 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:33.399 In Texans camp, some bad news for their offense involving 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.120 will Fuller their Firmer former first round pick. So we'll 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.399 get into what went on down there. Uh, And then 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:43.400 our training camp spotlight series will roll on with the 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.679 New York Jets in their murky quarterback situation. Had to 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.560 squeeze this Jets segment in while cragging West for away. Yeah, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.799 this is the perfect time. And Wilk, really, nice job. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.239 If you're watching this video show, has this labeled a 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.799 j Ets ugly? Ugly ugly? How about your ugly bro 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.440 feels cure at nice job, Wilk. I want your quarterback, 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.360 by the way, Mr usc And finally, uh, a little 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.680 talk about the newing of Patriots. It's always fun to talk. 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.440 Should be fair and balanced about the Pats and what's 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:17.040 going on. A very difficult first world problem they're dealing with. Yeah, 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:18.520 they've been through a lot, and I think we'll dig 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.560 into that. It's I think you're gonna it's gonna generate 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.079 some sympathy for that club. Yeah. So all that coming up, 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.600 including we wanted to hit it on our last show, 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.840 we're not able to get to it. Just too much talking. 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.920 That's one of the problems with our podcast is that 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.840 we talked too much. And sometimes that that we can 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.560 go the route where it's a you know, a hundred 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.520 and forty minute podcast, or we just have to cut 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.280 down the show. Well, what else would we be doing 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:48.440 on an audio radio program. Just the amount amount it's 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.520 too much. And I speak for myself as well as 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.960 the rest of you. I thought I did a fine job, 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.080 and then I don't think I overspoke. I I was 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.480 very controlled in the last episode, a considerable amount of 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.720 speaking from you as wal Mark, as I studied. You know, 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.240 it's go back and track study every show and and 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:06.120 track it like a like a picture, like charting pitches 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.720 for some saber Metrics, little saber Metrics strongly disagree with 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.280 your findings. Um. Anyway, so we had a bump mail 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.960 bag on Monday show. But today's show, we will bring 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.120 the mail back bag and good way to I like 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.520 to say interface with the listeners. Yeah, I mean, I 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.719 think last week we were kind of struggling for last 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.760 show for a for a topic it was a bit 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.719 of a patch of an idea and somehow it's existed 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.039 into a second show. Yeah, and uh, finally we'll we'll 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.120 cap the show with the return of a satellite hero 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.040 who has to get something off his chest. I'll leave 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.400 it at that. I'll leave it at that. But before 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.880 we do any of that, we got to catch up 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.080 on the news. And uh, to do that, we say 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.240 hello to Sully behind the glass. Fellas. This is a 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.159 jam packed one. It's gonna be a good one today, 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:56.400 I hope. So a lot of people behind the glass. Uh, 0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.159 let's see just me and Mark, Mark and I go 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:05.760 way back. Let me let me Hey, so you asked 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:10.520 me the question. Now let me go through the process. Okay, okay, 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.039 I mean Mark and I friends. I love each other 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.240 ups and down to the years. What I was hanging out. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.520 They like each other, miss my other buddies, be minus 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:23.479 be might a show today? All right, here we go. 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:29.279 Let's do some news. No days, all no days, all 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:39.680 no days all. Okay, let's get this show back on track. Uh, 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.440 we'll start with Yes, the Houston Texans bad news. There 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.840 wide receiver Will Fuller the first round pick in two 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.720 thousand and sixteen broke his collar bone. Mark. I know 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:51.479 you'd like to say clavical during practice, no clear timetable 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.920 for return. This is coming from rap sheet ESPN first 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.479 report of the development. UH twenty three years old. UH 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:03.159 forty seven catches last year. Maybe underwhelming considering the amount 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.560 of hype about him coming to Houston, but a lot 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.160 of that, you would say, Mark probably points to their 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.280 issues a quarterback. They're hoping to really get him and 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.920 Hopkins side by side going this season and now, especially 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.159 a clavical injury. It brings the mind Carlos Rogers way 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.600 back in the day with with the Lions. It's an 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.440 injury that can come back and haunt you. Um. Of course, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.600 Tony Romo another example bad news. You like to say classical. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.039 I think I prefer the more common man version of 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.520 color bone, which I think more people understand. The Simpleton's 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.680 classical I called the color bone Braxton, Miller, Jal and Strong. 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.600 These guys are gonna have to step up now across 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.640 from DeAndre Hopkins. You know with Fuller he was he 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.719 was so fascinating to watch early in the year. Last 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.360 year two yard games out of the gate. Never came 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.520 back and repeated that I mean he he really I 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.600 think struggle with drops that was a huge issue for 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.440 him to focus on this offseason. But it's bad news 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.800 for whether it's Tom Savage or especially if it's Deshaun 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.800 Watson that wins this this battle. That's something you're losing, 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:01.760 your deep threat. This is what's been missing in that 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.760 offense for so long, and now they're missing it for 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.720 a good long time. But it's just the two of us. 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.520 If you can help me out, I said Carlos Rodgers, 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.600 Charles Rogers, I have to understand that when you're speaking, 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.160 I'm basically just thinking about what I'm gonna say. So 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.880 I'm I'm rarely gonna help you out on I got you, 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.760 I got you. I caught myself there. But now with 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.440 Fuller out, DeAndre Hopkins again a lot of pressure on 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.800 him to be the entire offense. He was able to 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.680 be that two years ago. Last year maybe not so much. 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.000 And now they have to put the focus on to 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.600 Braxton miller Um former quarterback to a third round pick 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.560 um fifteen catches last year. They're gonna need some people 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.560 to step up in this office. Well, how about Jalen Strong, 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.520 who has really been I think pretty underwhelming. I mean 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.840 that's where these guys as a group have to make 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.880 it happen. Uh, moving on more injury news. This one 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.679 very tough for the Rams. Defensive end Dominique easily Um 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.640 has suffered a torn a c l in practice. Rap 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.560 Sheet reported it. It is the third time he has 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:04.040 torn and his a c l uh twice in college 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:05.440 and now he's got to try to rehab for a 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.600 third time. The first round pick of Bill Belichick back 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.400 Belichick back in two thousand and fourteen. They cut him 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.360 early last season, but he had a nice year with 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.240 the Rams. Kind of an under unheralded guy on a 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.640 bad team, and now you have to wonder if his 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.840 career is in doubt. It's hard to come back from that. 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:23.800 Many a cls that's been done, but it's hard. Well 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.160 it's been done by Thomas Davis and just a few others. 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.120 I mean, it's it is a It puts him into 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.240 a rare group and not a pleasant group. And uh, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.120 you know the Rams. Meanwhile, it looks like Ethan Westbrooks 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.640 someone enough to step up for them. But they are 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.680 paper thin. They're rather thin. I know, everyone says, you know, hey, 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.760 Wade Phillips coming in everything with their thin at a 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:43.880 sort of every level of their defense right now. So 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.760 it's it's a big challenge for them out of the gate, 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.600 and they can't afford to lose any more of these guys. 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.679 Our buddy Pepper Spray is very high in the Rams 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.800 defense with Wade Phillips. I would not put anything past 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.280 son of bum. But you're right, they are not a 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.360 team that could take a bunch of injuries. Don't have 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.800 Aaron Donald on the field right now. He'll be there though. Uh. 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.760 Moving on other injury news. This one originally to little 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.040 pulled back the curtain move in our pre pro pre 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.800 PROD meeting we called industry talk. Uh, we were going 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.880 to lead with this one. Sterling Shepherd gets carted off 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.720 Giants practice with a lower leg injury. And you know 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.319 this is always very bad news. Uh. Percent of the 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.120 time when you see the tweets coming out down on 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.280 the field, a cart coming out to get him, he's 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.880 crying on the field. Almost always it seems to be 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.040 a c l injury, season ending injury some kind. This 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:42.720 turned out alright, low ankle sprain for Sterling Shepherd, which 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.160 is much better than the dreaded high ankle sprain, which 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:47.920 can cost guys weeks and weeks, so we don't know 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.840 how long he'll be out. Ben McAdoo said he's going 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.240 to see how the receiver responds to initial treatment and 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.960 go from there. But Shepherd seems to have dodged a 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.720 major bullet because I think a lot of Giants fans, 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:01.240 I would think, when they saw that said, oh my, 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.800 this guy's yeah, because because the people who were there, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.160 and people didn't see the injury, but they saw, like 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.480 you said, the response afterwards, and it was pretty fatal 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.640 the reporting, and it seemed like, wow, the Giants had 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.920 just lost a really important second year player for them, 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.520 Brandon Marshall suddenly enough to have a huge season if 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.480 he's out, and it's not the case. And it's funny. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.640 It reminds me when we during these training camps, because 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.239 all these teams are active and these injuries start happening invariably. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.959 That's sort of the breathless reporting where we were We're 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.800 pumping out a post and it talks about all the 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.480 possible negatives for the Giants, and three hours later they're fine. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.880 Because so the Giants, Yeah, we Mark and I were 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.199 talking about this downstairs. I've noticed, and I'm very happy 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.960 for Stirling Shepard. He's a young, ascended player and we 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.120 you don't want him to have a bad injury. But 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.480 certain franchises for whatever reason. I said, what I said 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.200 to Mark was, you know, if if this guy was 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:52.400 a promising Jets receiver, promising Browns receiver, you know, his 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.600 his ankle is broken or the knee shot. Teams like 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.480 the Giants, they're just those teams that are run better 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.480 but also seemed to get some breaks. It ends up 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.280 being not so serious. Right. If it's the Jets, it's 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:07.400 like the entire you know, uh kitchen slash dining area 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.880 catches on fire and you lose half your defense. I mean, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.000 it's a totally different scenario for the Jets. In other news, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:18.440 Jordan read the Washington Redskins receiver Um he was put 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.040 on the pup list. There was not a lot of 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.880 concern going around at the time. Was expected to be 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.920 a short stay, but now Redskins coach j Gruden announced 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.760 that the tight ends injury might be something that they 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.400 really have to be concerned with. Because Reid went to 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.679 Charlotte to see a specialist about his toe injury. Uh, 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:39.079 there's no timetable for his return. This is nothing new, Mark, Yeah, 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.720 the dreaded no timetable for return. I mean, he missed 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.320 four games last season with a concussion, had a shoulder injury, 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.760 He's had lower body issues. Read is one of the 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.240 more explosive tight ends in the league. But he can't 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.280 stay healthy. This is the reverse of what we just 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.160 talked about where it started. As you know, we're not concerned, 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.520 we're being cautious with Read, and a week later, you know, 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.959 the scope of what's happening is getting more concerning. The 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.400 guy has missed eighteen games over four seasons. When he's 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.080 on the field, Kirk Cousins is at his best. I mean, 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.680 the offense absolutely needs Read out there. And to lose him, 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.680 you know, the concussion thing is a whole separate issue 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.960 because that at any moment seems to completely derail his career. 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.000 But if they don't have him on offense, if this 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.760 becomes a lingering thing that goes into September and on 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.440 and on, they are not the same attack on any level. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.559 You know. Other news, Leonard Fournette is the first round 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.480 pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Um Mark I have a question. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.599 Yes there's a there's a we're gonna get to it 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.280 in a second, but uh, in your whole life. I 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.760 want you to gues estimate this. Uh. And I know 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.640 you weren't, nor was I a superstar high school or 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.160 collegiate athlete. But I'm just curious how many trophies, uh, 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:50.280 you acquired from let's say you know, t ball through it, 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.319 we'll go even softball, like our shield championship. I'll count 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.199 even though you were more I don't know if the 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.480 advisor role this season, how many trophies do you think 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.680 you've acquired in your life? I mean almost none for 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.959 individual performance. I mean I would never be ranking high 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.680 on that on that ladder, but you know I was 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.240 on multiple team playing constantly some sort of team sport 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.120 throughout my entire youth. So I'm thinking thirty thirty, that's 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:16.760 that's a fair number. I would say I would put 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.680 myself in the twenty seven. That feels right, a little 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.120 less than what I would have accrued like people like 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.520 Sully in the millennial generation with all the participation trophies, 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.600 it's probably in the thousands. I would think. For you, Yeah, 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.760 we uh, quite a few participation trophies. We didn't get nothing. 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:34.960 It was like you failed son. Back to the coal 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.280 mine for you, right, yeah, Anyway, I bring this up 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:43.360 because Leonard four Nette of the Jaguars. Um, he's he's 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.719 gained hundreds of trophies potentially. I don't know some of 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.120 the reporting here's little dodgy, but the man had many, 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.040 many trophies, and he's somebody that does not look back 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.840 in the past. So he thought of an idea or 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:55.839 someone thought of an idea for him. Him and the 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.599 people at Metrics, which there's a supplement company marked you 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.600 vouch of them on any level. I mean I know 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.040 of them, Okay, I'm not tied into the mone any anyway, 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.400 he's the only guys who care about anyone's right, Um, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.640 sup sup coup at Metrics. Uh. They came with the idea, 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.960 what if we melt down your trophies, bra and turn 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.120 them into weights for a local Jacksonville High school. And 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.560 the initial reporting over a Big Cat Country a Sports 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.240 Nation blog for the Jaguars was that for Net had 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:27.320 seven hundred trophies that he donated, which you did the math. Well, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.240 I wasn't this got on my radar because again playing 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.280 sports all year round, and I was given a trophy 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.520 for every team I was on. It took years and 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.920 years to get into what would be maybe thirty range 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.640 seven hundred. I mean, you'd have to be splitting yourself 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.240 into like multiple people and playing multiple sports at the 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.200 same time. Just and I understand he did track and 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.080 you get individual ones for that, but seven hundred to me, 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.200 because we all tried to break it down, it seemed 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.200 like if you have about a ten eleven year winter 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.320 as a youth athlete, and he's like, exactly, it's not 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.480 you know. This was that there was a limited time here. 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.680 You've got to be getting sixty to seventy trophies a year, 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.760 which it's like you're a salesman if you have a 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.440 bad month, if you are a crew in two or 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.440 three trophies a month. How does this end to be 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.600 getting like trophies for finishing dinner. I mean it would 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.040 have been have to be just basic life functions. Oh, 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.400 you woke up this morning, here's a trophy. I called 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.480 it out, and I was right, you nailed it, because 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.160 they the writer of that piece eventually said that some 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.960 of the trophies were donated, but the other point I 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.920 wanted to make about this is this is one of 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.280 those stories that make me feel kind of dimwitted because 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:39.120 I can't process how a trophy can be melted down 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:44.720 into composite parts and turned into weightlifting equipment. And then 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.200 there's this video that that was posted along with this 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.800 Q and A in which these like regular looking dudes 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.320 are just like, oh yeah, we just take the composite part, 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.080 to take the trophy dust put it off together one 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.120 two three. It's like, am I stupid? Well? I I 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.560 get caught up the same thing because a lot of 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.080 the trophies I had, maybe now they're very you know, 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.560 rich material, but a lot of times the Golden athlete, 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.960 you know, you know, hitting a tennis racket or shooting 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.000 a basketball probably off the rin like is it was 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.880 made of plastic A lot of time it wasn't like 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.560 high quality like you know, silver and gold. So you're 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.880 you're melting it down and it just feels. I think 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.200 it's a very nice thing to do for Rains high school, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.880 no questions there, but overly complex process. Why not maybe 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.440 donate actual weights? Again, I don't want to, you know, 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:34.360 a very nice thing that they've done so well disrespect, disrespect, 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:41.200 just melting down. Let's move on. It kept me up, 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.520 cost your time, your manter struggles, struggles to sleep in general. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.600 I don't need this. You need this on top of it. 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:49.520 I don't need that. I don't need that. All right. 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.560 Uh news for the Seattle Seahawks camp Chancellor. Remember when 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.680 he uh um sat out a couple of games over 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.040 money couple of years ago. Yeah, that wasn't pretty. And 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:01.720 now you don't have to worry about that anymore because 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.520 Chancellor this week signed a three year, thirty six million 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:09.280 dollar contract extension. Uh million guaranteed. Does that count towards 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:13.600 my five million curse for contracts? Not really right, it's 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.840 a little off ringe. It's a three year deal and 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.080 the million is guaranteed as opposed to the total that. No, 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.880 he's in the clear, officially in the clear. Everybody, don't 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.359 worry about it anyway, Raps, she'd have the numbers Chancellor 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.639 coming off, coming up in the final year of a 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.520 five year deal he's signed back in ESPN first reported, 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.080 Seahawks later confirmed the signing. I will bring in Sally 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:37.959 on this. So you are a Seahawks fan, uh I 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.199 heard buzz I heard some whispers that maybe Cam was 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.520 maybe on the other side uh last season, maybe not 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.399 quite the player anymore. I think he needs Earle. I 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.960 think he needs Earl Thomas. Those two together really really good. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.120 I think it was you can almost double the quarterback 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.320 rating when both of them aren't playing. UM, So that 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.240 duo needs to be together and that that's that's a 0:17:58.320 --> 0:17:59.920 huge move for Seahawks. I think with the Seahawks in 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.119 telling you too, because there are whispers that Earl Thomas, 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.040 who has I think two years left on his deal, 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.040 could talk about retirement. He's talked about retirement, but he 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.119 also that was that was almost the same way that 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.720 you talk about retirement as the shield manager when you 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.399 know you've got to get out of that, out of 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.800 the phrase that you're just in. And he did the same. 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.360 But if they if they extend Thomas down the road, 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.520 it tells you with Richard Sherman, that they absolutely are 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.520 not ready to kind of move on from the legion 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.760 of booms primary stars, that they still believe that if 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.280 these guys can stay healthy, because Chancellor and Thomas have 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.719 not often been healthy together, not fully healthy, and if 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.200 you can get them back in that way, I agree 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.399 with you, Sully, that there that this defense can still be. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.720 This is the last piece of the main core of 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:45.240 the Seahawks that are together through Bobbies Bobbies locked down, uh, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.720 Michael Bennett's lockdown, so that that defense is there have 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.920 been there have been, you know, discussions whispers in the 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.320 past that Peake Harold at some point could decide to 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:56.760 move on. So you wonder if maybe when all these 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.600 contracts come up, that Pete Carroll says, I'm gonna go 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.800 out with all these players, my player boy Tom Cable 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.479 finally got a takeover football guy. It seems possible. Clock's 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.880 ticking for sure, And I will I will also say 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:11.600 I always enjoy it when fans like Sully refer to 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.680 players that they root for by their first names. Yeah 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.600 I did, Oh yeah, Bobby. Bobby is looking good this year. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.560 Bobby that I can't believe I did that. Sorry, I'm 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.399 really excited about Bobby this year. Anyway, Thank you, Sully. 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.840 Good Seahawks information. Hey, that Colin Kaepernick still doesn't have 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.960 a job, folks, And everyone should know that the Ravens 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.840 there's still thinking about it. They want to know that's 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.520 going to the Ravens nest. And again a statement released 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.240 by the team, a statement, just make a decision. Here 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.560 it is, we are going through a can we get 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.760 our missive music by any chance? I might putting me 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:50.240 on the spot too much, a lot of pressure on selling. 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:54.320 Here we go. This is from general manager Ozzie Newsome. 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.679 We are going through a process and we have not 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:02.159 made a decision. Steve Shaddy has not told us we 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:06.720 cannot sign Colin Kaepernick, nor has he blocked the move. 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:13.760 Whoever is making those claims, he's wrong. Like the Azzie 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.720 Knewsom is a double negative up top. He has not 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.000 told us we cannot say it's he's confused me? Is 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.119 he's saying the opposite. I think they're trying to confuse you. 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.520 I mean, it's clear that there's some we I mean, 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.679
