And to make 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: it even more glossy, the Ravens rookies are reporting to 15 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: training camp Saturday, the first players to do so. If 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: you're trying to see the Ravens, it might be a 17 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: little late because all. 18 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: Training camp tickets have been claimed. 19 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 1: As the team announced, they're on social media and it's 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: Christmas in July and Kansas City as the Chiefs have 21 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: announced new cast members for upcoming movie with Hallmark and 22 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 1: you're seeing coach Andy Reid there and if you're asking 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: the connection, Hallmark is headquartered in Kansas City. So for 24 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: more of the Chiefs, let's bring in our Omar Ruiz 25 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: and O time. What more can you tell us about 26 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: the goings on with the Chiefs. 27 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: Hey, they're having fun, they're enjoying the recipients of back 28 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 3: to back Super Bowl wins. They're going to shoot holiday 29 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 3: touchdown a Chiefs love story on Monday, and then. 30 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: Of course the rookies will report the. 31 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: Training camp on Tuesday, so they're getting ready to dial 32 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 3: it back up, finish that fun and hearing from players 33 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 3: of the Chiefs. During the offseason, they had their ring ceremony. 34 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: Of course they went to the White House and really 35 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: savoring all that. 36 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 2: But once training camp. 37 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 3: Begins, then the focus will be on football and Andy 38 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 3: Reid's mentality, Steve you've heard him over the years, is 39 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 3: just focus on what they can in front of them. 40 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 3: So going forward, talking to people in that building, it 41 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: is to focus on training camp and to get that 42 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 3: through competitively and healthy. And then of course when training 43 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 3: camp is done, then they'll focus on the Ravens in 44 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: week one, and one thing that they learned from last 45 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 3: year's experience once they had that maturity to say, Okay, 46 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: maybe we're not going to be that explosive forty point 47 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 3: offense that we've been in years past, to focus on 48 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: how they're going to win week to week. And of 49 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 3: course Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey will still have their magic. 50 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 3: And speaking of Kelsey, ass offensive coordinator Matt Naggy, of 51 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: course Kelsey's the one that said, hey, put it on me, 52 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 3: give me all that work, run the wheels off. But 53 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 3: they are conscientious of him. They want to make sure 54 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,839 Speaker 3: that they pace him by factoring in other tight ends, 55 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: younger players. But Travis Kelsey has shown up. When they 56 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 3: did their conditioning drill right before they let out with 57 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 3: mini camp, he was there finishing in the top of 58 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 3: the team. 59 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: Like he always does. So they're ready for training camp. 60 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 3: All the fun put behind them there and the back 61 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 3: to back to back pursuit really begins. 62 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 4: But they're not talking about that in the building. 63 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: Steve, Oh yeah, sure, they're not omar for the Chiefs, 64 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: they always one of the toughest training camps. They'll be 65 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: there in Saint Joseph, Missouri to get that going. Omar, 66 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: thank you so much. And in other news, with the 67 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany 68 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: announced that they are expecting their third child. To congrats 69 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: to the Mahomes on baby number three. Well, the Chiefs 70 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: have ruled the AFC West, but now it's the AFC 71 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: East and shoeing with the training camp reporting dates and 72 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: can anyone knock off the Bills? It's time we bring 73 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: in our Adam Rank to have full discussion on the 74 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: state of each franchise and Adam AFC East. So where 75 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: else do we have to start? The Jets? 76 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 5: Of course, listen, let me tell you something, Steve. You've 77 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 5: known me for a long time, and I'm shocked that 78 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 5: I have to be the voice of reason to tell 79 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 5: people to stop making fun of Aaron Rodgers, like leave 80 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 5: them alone, because we should be talking more about this 81 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 5: Jets team as a whole. Because when I look at 82 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 5: this roster from top to bottom right there, I believe 83 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 5: this Jets have the most complete roster in the NFL. 84 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 5: The defense, studley, the offensive line, which was a problem. 85 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 5: They addressed it going into free agency, getting two studs 86 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 5: who've done it in this league. And they went out 87 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 5: there and used their first round pick on Ola Fashanu, 88 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 5: who is one of the top rated linemen coming into 89 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 5: the draft. So I think this Jets team doesn't have 90 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 5: a lot of issues outside of can they get it done? 91 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 5: Can Aaron Rodgers stay healthy? And listen, there's nobody who 92 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 5: would love to make fun of him taking summer vacations 93 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 5: and all that stuff more than me. You know this, 94 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 5: But you know what, once he gets out there starts 95 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 5: throwing the rock, nobody cares. Like if it's Zach Wilson, 96 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 5: and Zach Wilson was taking vacations last year, like that 97 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 5: makes sense. 98 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: It's Aaron Rodgers. 99 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 5: Once he completes a couple of passes, nobody's going to 100 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,679 Speaker 5: care where he spent his summer one thousand percent. 101 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean, people forget that this is one of the 102 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: greatest players that we have seen in our lifetimes. 103 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: I've not seen how you've gone too far? Now you got. 104 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: I want anyone to save the tape. Save the tape 105 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: where he says this is the most complete roster. There's 106 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: no issues here because frankly, in this division, when I 107 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: look at talent on the rosters, Yeah, the Miami Dolphins 108 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: and some of the changes they've made. Adam I mean, 109 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: the Dolphins look real now. They haven't done much in 110 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs, but Mike McDaniels still in charge, you think 111 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 1: she could. 112 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: Lead them the way. 113 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 5: That's the big thing for the Miami Dolphins. From two 114 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 5: thousand and two until Mike McDaniel took over the head 115 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 5: of this franchise, the Dolphins had two playoffs first during 116 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 5: that time. He comes in two playoff firsts and two 117 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 5: seasons and that's great, and you're like, Okay, this is perfect. 118 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 5: We got we got the Dolphins back. The NFL is 119 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 5: better when the Dolphins are a good football team. But 120 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 5: now it's about taking that next step, and I think 121 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 5: the Dolphins have really moved forward in that direction. Obviously, 122 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 5: losing Christian Wilkins is going to be a huge blow, 123 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 5: but when you lose out on a player like that, 124 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 5: the key is going out and replacing them. And they 125 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 5: signed what like thirty defensive tackles. They made a change 126 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 5: at defensive they made a change at defensive coordinator. 127 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 2: I think they're good. 128 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 5: And they bring in Odell Beck, which I know, listen, 129 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 5: he's been around a long time, but it reminds me 130 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 5: of when Hulk Hogan glam Dam to Scott Hall and 131 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 5: Kevin Nash and he's like, all right, I'll ride the 132 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 5: wave here. I don't know if Tyreek Kill is Scott 133 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 5: Hall or Kevin Nash, but joining that trio, that is 134 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 5: a good roster. And especially with Tua Tungua Maloa, who 135 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 5: himself has to go out and prove that he is 136 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 5: going to be getting He's out there looking to be 137 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 5: that next quarterback to get paid. 138 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 2: And the way you do that take your team on 139 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: a deep playoff run. 140 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: Well, they need a deep playoff run because again, like 141 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: I said, that roster is loaded. 142 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: So the Buffalo Bills have been on deep playoff runs. 143 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: Man, they have really retooled their roster, losing a lot 144 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: of talent on defense. How big of a year is 145 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: this for Josh Allen and as head coach? 146 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 5: I think it's a bigger year for Sean McDermott. And 147 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 5: again going back to before he took over, seventeen straight 148 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 5: seasons without a playoff berth. Sean takes over, they go 149 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 5: into playoffs what five out of their last six, which 150 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 5: is great, But Sean mcdo as I look at it, 151 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 5: it's so polarizing because he's either going to get this 152 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 5: team to the super Bowl or he's going to be 153 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 5: the first coach fired, Like all the scapegoats are gone. 154 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 5: You fired a defensive coordinator, you fired your offensive coordinator. 155 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs is gone. It is now your show. 156 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 5: There is nobody left to blame, and really it's up 157 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 5: to Josh Allen, and Josh Allen give him credit. 158 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: Like he his playoff losses. 159 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 5: Three of them have come to Patrick Mahomes, one of 160 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 5: them has come to Joe Burrow. And so I feel, 161 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 5: and he plays well in the playoffs, like he's got 162 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 5: a twenty one to four touchdown to interception ratio in 163 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 5: the playoffs. Like we think of the turnovers, like people ask, 164 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 5: like the turnovers killing him when it comes to the playoffs. 165 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: He has money. 166 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 5: He has got a one point one interception ratio percentage, 167 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 5: which is way down from the regular season. They just 168 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 5: got to put it together in the playoffs. They need 169 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 5: to make a deep run, a deep run. And I 170 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 5: think anything less than a super Bowl because that window 171 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 5: is going to be closing soon. Anything lesson a super 172 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 5: Bowl would feel like a disappointment. But it's a tough 173 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 5: go for Sean McDermott. 174 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it again, a tough go some of 175 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: the changes they've just made. 176 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: But I really like the point you said where the 177 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: scapegoats are gone. 178 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: This is on the head coach. A really good stuff here. 179 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: And of course the New England Patriots, they're not what 180 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: they were or are they when the were? 181 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 5: Is the past two seasons. Listen, the Celtics just won 182 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 5: the NBA title. Can you guys just be happy with that? 183 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 5: You had seven? What six super Bowls? You have the Patriots? 184 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 5: The Celtics won a time. You're fine, don't worry about it. 185 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 5: You're probably not gonna want to watch a lot of 186 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 5: football this season. I feel like this is now a 187 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 5: team that you were looking for moral victories, like can 188 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 5: they can they go out there and upset some teams? 189 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 5: Which is a stark a difference from where it was 190 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 5: ten years ago. But it's weird too because usually when 191 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 5: you have a succession where you're going to a Bill 192 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 5: Belichick protege, typically when that happens, the team is still 193 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 5: sort of on the upswing. About when Bill Walsh left 194 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 5: San Francisco, George Seaford came in and he led them 195 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 5: to at least what was it won Super Bowl? 196 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 2: I think it was, Yeah, they won. 197 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 5: An eighty nine, So you're like, okay, Like it's still 198 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 5: a successful team. The Patriots are the lowest they've been 199 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 5: and they still are going for the secession, which is fine. 200 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 5: I might have I might have chosen to blow it up. 201 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 5: I even questioned going after Drake May because I think 202 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 5: this team is so far away. I would have gone 203 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 5: with Marvin Harrison Junior. Worried about the quarterback later. But listen, 204 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 5: they're gonna give this young man an opportunity to go 205 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 5: out there and prove himself. 206 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: They brought in, you know, some veteran wide receivers. 207 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 5: We got ramondre Stevenson, which for fantasy purposes, I think 208 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 5: is going to be pretty good. But ultimately I don't 209 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 5: expect a lot of out of this Patriots team. 210 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: And it's weird. It's weird feeling that way. 211 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 5: There's there's there's gen z kids running around not knowing 212 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 5: what to do because the Patriots aren't good. 213 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 2: Think about that. That's great. 214 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: There's a whole generation who've known nothing but success with 215 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: the Patriots, like all these. 216 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 5: Front runners, Steve, think about this. There's so many kids 217 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 5: out there whose favorite teams are the Warriors, the Warriors 218 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 5: and the Patriots, and now they don't know what to do, like, oh, 219 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 5: you might have to start rooting for the team in 220 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 5: your hometown. 221 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: Or they might have to, like, oh, read a book, 222 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: or they can go to NFL dot com slash s 223 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: TF and read. 224 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: Adam Rank and more. 225 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: State of the Franchise piece is well done, my brother, 226 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. 227 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: Seem great seeing you and be a Hall of Famer. 228 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: Charles Barkley always has a lot to say, and after 229 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: the break he's gonna talk some football and a whole 230 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: lot of other stuff.

Okay, 254 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 7: you have been in some big time games. You are 255 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 7: on live TV all the time. You deal with pressure 256 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 7: extremely well. Where does the pressure of lining updated t 257 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 7: shot with the gallery all the way down the tea box? Like, 258 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 7: where does that pressure rank as far as all time pressures? 259 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 7: Just trying not to hit someone in the head. 260 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 6: Oh, you know, I used to feel pressure, but well, 261 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 6: after you hit the first couple of people in the head, 262 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 6: it's no big deal. You get that out the way. 263 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 6: I got that out the way a long time ago. 264 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 6: And let me tell you something. They deserve to get 265 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 6: hit if you're not paying attention on the golf course. 266 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 6: You deserve to get hit. What the hell are you 267 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 6: looking for? Why are you looking around when people on 268 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 6: the golf course and they getting ready to hit golf shots. 269 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 6: You should be paying attention. So I don't feel any 270 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 6: simply for that when I clock them. 271 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: No, no screaming for anything like that. 272 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: Okay, Charles, since we are exactly I mean we were 273 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: almost exactly a year to the date. We're gonna play 274 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: you something that you said on this network last year, 275 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: and I cannot wait to hear your reaction. 276 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 2: Roll the tape, New. 277 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 6: England pages are going to make the playoffs. 278 00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 4: Get rum yo. 279 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: The Patriots guaranteed that you missed by a mile. 280 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 2: Charles. 281 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 6: Hey, you know, you know, Coach Belichick is a good 282 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 6: friend of mine, and I love that guy, and I 283 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 6: hate the way his tenure ended with the Patriots. 284 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 4: I thought they were going. 285 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 6: To be better, but you know, they regressed, and I 286 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 6: think the stress of obviously Tom leaving and the young 287 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 6: quarterback and so I think the stress just they just 288 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 6: didn't they didn't get it done. 289 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 4: But you know what, I'm Coach Belichick gonna chill out 290 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 4: this year. 291 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 6: I was surprised he didn't get another opportunity. He's the 292 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 6: greatest coach ever. It's going to be curious if he 293 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 6: comes back and coach again. That to me is going 294 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 6: to be a really interesting question because I think now 295 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 6: he realized there's way more than life than football. 296 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely should have gotten the job last year, no 297 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 7: doubt about it. Least as far as I'm concerned. You 298 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 7: have excelled in your host a basketball career. I think 299 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 7: that's safe to say. You're good friends with Bill Belichick. 300 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 7: He has just joined inside the NFL, among other media 301 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 7: opportunities for him. What advice would you have for Bill 302 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 7: Belichick just to excel in the world we are in 303 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 7: right now. 304 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 6: Well, he's a football genius, so he's a lot fun 305 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 6: of you in person when he's dealing with the media. 306 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 6: I think if he uses genius and has fun with it, 307 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 6: because people don't really want just X and os, because 308 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 6: you got two different people you're talking to. When you're 309 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 6: doing on television, you're talking to the hardcore fans, and 310 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 6: then you talk to people who got to sit with 311 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 6: their wife or their girlfriends, who have no nothing, or 312 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 6: their kids. 313 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 4: You're trying to entertain them. 314 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 6: People who love football or basketball, they're very easy. One 315 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 6: of the reason Abashew is excelled. People who watch basketball 316 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 6: gonna love it. But we're all from seven o'clock to 317 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 6: two in the morning. No, probably want to watch basketball 318 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 6: from seven to two in the morning, me included. You 319 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 6: want to make sure the fans, the regular Layman's fans, 320 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 6: they're enjoined, like I say, the regular football fan. 321 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 4: They're gonna watch what at regardless. 322 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 6: But if you want the wise guys, girlfriends and now, 323 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 6: you break and bring your kids in once they get 324 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 6: old enough. As long as he lets his personality show, 325 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 6: he's gonna be great. And I think the same thing 326 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 6: with Tom Brady. I do they let that personality show 327 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 6: and their genius, they're both gonna be really successful. 328 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: And I think that's what so many of us are 329 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: waiting to see. Let's see that personality. We've seen a 330 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: lot more of it out of Brady than Belichick, but 331 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: I think a lot of us are eager to see him. 332 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: Let let me ask you this, Charles. You deal with 333 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: load management in the NBA. You know, players taking nights 334 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: off just so they can make it through the full 335 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: eighty two. Now the NFL is talking about expanding from 336 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: seventeen to eighteen games. If they go to eighteen, do 337 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: we think that load management vernacular is. 338 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: Going to start to enter the conversation. 339 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 6: Well, you know, I told you all guys, last time, 340 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 6: I played football for one day and I realized it 341 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 6: wasn't for me. So a football is a grown man's sport. 342 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 6: You have to be tough, you know, the only way 343 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 6: I can't consider. And I've been hearing the chatter about 344 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 6: the eighteen they're gonna have to have at least two 345 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 6: bye weeks. They're gonna have at least two bye weeks, 346 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 6: and they can't be think about this. 347 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 4: It's two things. 348 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 6: They got to have at least two by weeks, and 349 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 6: they cannot be playing those games on Thursday nights. That's 350 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 6: just too hard on those guys' bodies. But you know, 351 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 6: it's always a slippery slope because us as jocks, we 352 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 6: want to make the most money if possible. But I 353 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 6: hate loads management. It's not fair to the fans, it's 354 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 6: not fair to the game. You know, guys before me, 355 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 6: not even myself, these guys didn't make any money. They 356 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 6: didn't fly first class. These guys today they make forty 357 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 6: fifty sixty million dollars. 358 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 4: God bless them, God bless them. I hey on them. 359 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 6: But to play basketball four days a week, man, we 360 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 6: got the best jobs in the world. 361 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 4: If you look at all the professional. 362 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 6: Sports, we have the best jobs by far, because we 363 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 6: know what football is going to do to your body. 364 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 6: Baseball you stand out there at the sun for three 365 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 6: or four hours a day, one hundred and sixty two 366 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 6: games a year. 367 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 4: I said, we didn't. 368 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 6: Got the best job in the world. To play basketball 369 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 6: four days a week. It's the easiest job in the world. 370 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 6: And I get so disgusted when these guys practice loads management. 371 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 2: So do you think, y'all? So it's real quick, Chob's 372 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 2: with that. 373 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: We've heard this conversation was fun during the year NBA 374 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: players playing in the NFL or NFL players playing in 375 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: the NBA. Do you think there's some NFL guys that 376 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: can play in the NBA. We've seen high lights of 377 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: guys like DK Metcalf and TJ Stroud. The Bills quarterback 378 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: Josh Allen said he can give a couple of good 379 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: minutes too. 380 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 4: First of all, both teams are lying. 381 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 6: NFL players cannot play in the NBA, and the NBA 382 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 6: players can't play in the NFL. You know, I found 383 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 6: something interesting when they was talking about these NBA players 384 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 6: playing in the NFL. You notice they only showed their 385 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 6: damn highlights them high school. Right, they were show when 386 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 6: they were bigger and stronger. 387 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 4: Hey, when they were bigger and stronger than everybody in 388 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 4: high school. They didn't showed. 389 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 6: All those players talk about they were great in high school. 390 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 6: They didn't even play in college when the guys are 391 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 6: big and strong. So both parties aligned. NFL players cannot 392 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 6: play in the NBA, an NBA players cannot play in 393 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 6: the NFL. 394 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 7: To Charles, last thing for me, You've been very upfront 395 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 7: and honest about your decision after your run at TNT 396 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 7: is over, to retire, to walk away from TV. You're 397 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 7: obviously very opinionated. You got a lot to say. What 398 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 7: is going to be your outlet for getting your voice 399 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 7: out of Are you going to miss that part of it? 400 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 6: I'm gonna miss going watching basketball like every day, going in. 401 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 4: The studio and watching games.

I think twenty 407 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 6: five years at one place, then to start over at 408 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 6: another place with random strangers.

Utah head coach 444 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: Kyle Whittingham joins us next to give his perspective on 445 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: the Utes move to the Big Twelve. I went back 446 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: to the Insiders, and you are looking at the Utah 447 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: Universities football social media post arrivee and that has arrived 448 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: at Allegiate Stadium in Las Vegas for the Big Twelve 449 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: conference media day. 450 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 2: That's right, Utah is now part of the Big Twelve. 451 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: We're joined by their head football coach Kyle Whittingham and coach. 452 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: We're saying, you're new to the Big twelve after several 453 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: seasons in the PAC twelve. 454 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: How that initial media day. 455 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 10: Go smooth, well organized and no drama which is what 456 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 10: you're looking for? 457 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: All right, So you know you're getting ready to go 458 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: into the Big two twelve after all the years in 459 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: the PAC twelve. What's it like being a newcomer in 460 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: a sixteen team division where yes, you're familiar with three 461 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: the other schools coming over in the Pac twelve, but 462 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: getting ready to play a bunch of other new universities. 463 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 10: Well, we're excited about the opportunity, new challenges. For me 464 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 10: as the head coach, it's like getting a new job, 465 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 10: So it's invigorating in that respect. I know our players 466 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 10: are really excited about the opportunity to play in the 467 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 10: Big twelve. And probably the biggest change is the expanded 468 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 10: playoff format where if you take care of business and 469 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 10: you're able to win your conference, you're in the playoffs, 470 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 10: whereas before you had to rely on somebody devote you 471 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 10: in and ask you to the party whether than earn 472 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 10: your way. 473 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: Coach you, what are your thoughts on that expanded playoff format? 474 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: Where now twelve teams are involved in that playoff. 475 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 10: All positive. I think it's a great move. I believe 476 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 10: the sixteen teams is on the horizon. You know, when 477 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 10: that happens is is anybody's guests. But I'm sure it 478 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 10: will happen at some point. But twelve is about three 479 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 10: times better than four. So we're excited about. 480 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: You know, Coach, you're as good as math as I am, 481 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: because that's exactly the same number that I came up with. Coach, 482 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: you've been in the head coach of Utah for for 483 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: twenty one years now. You've been in this game for 484 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: an awful long time, and we're seeing a lot of 485 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: change in college athletics. I mean, what are some of 486 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: the things that have really struck you about some of 487 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: this expansion and change and things that we've seen the 488 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: past couple of years. 489 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 10: Well, the first thing that strikes me is is not 490 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 10: over yet. I think there's bigger things on the horizon 491 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 10: in that respect, bigger change. I think the Super Conferences 492 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 10: are coming. When they get here, you know, twenty months 493 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 10: to four years from now, Somewhere in that timeframe, expect 494 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 10: to become a really an NFL minor league. Model is 495 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 10: when I think it's going to end up being probably 496 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 10: have our own commissioner. I don't think the Nancy to 497 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 10: Al be a part of it. I think they're going 498 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 10: to branch off and it's going to be even more 499 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 10: radically different than what you see right now. 500 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: Well interesting, you know you talk about this possibly developing 501 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: into an NFL minor league. You've had fifty six players 502 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: get drafted out of Utah since you took over as 503 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: a head coach in two thousand and five, are since 504 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: two thousand and five, and you know some of them. 505 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: This year we're seeing Cole Bishop was drafted to go 506 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: play safety for the Buffalo Bills in the second round. 507 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on what the Bills are getting in. 508 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 10: Coley getting a terrific player, And I think they're going 509 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 10: to be as pleased with Cole as they were with 510 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 10: Dalton kin Kaid. Dalton Kinkaid they took him last year 511 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 10: in the first round and he had a terrific rookie season. Obviously, 512 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,719 Speaker 10: Cole Bishop is that same type of competitor and driven 513 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 10: athlete that wants to be the best, has a burning 514 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 10: desire to be the best, and I think he's going 515 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 10: to play a lot of good football for him this year. 516 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: You also have a really intriguing player who goes drafted 517 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: by the Detroit Lions. Siony Vaki played safety and running 518 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: back for you, and they say, right now he's going 519 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: to be entering training camp in Detroit as a running back. 520 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 2: What does he bring to that room and what about 521 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 2: his versatility? 522 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 10: Yeah, he's just an incredible athlete. In high school, he's 523 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 10: a terrific offensive player, so playing offense is nothing new 524 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 10: to him. He was, in fact, that's where he was 525 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 10: all league as a slot receiver. And so we were 526 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 10: debating when he got to Utah whether we play him 527 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 10: on defense or offense, and ended up being a defender. 528 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 10: But as we ran into some injuries last year, we thought, hey, 529 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 10: we need to provide a spark for the O, and 530 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 10: this guy's got a lot of ability and things that 531 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 10: he brings to the table. Made a seamless transition over 532 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 10: the offensive side and really was a big reason why 533 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 10: we were able to win eight games last year. 534 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: I coach your team going into the twenty twenty four season, 535 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: some folks are already projecting you to win in your 536 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: debut year in the Big twelve. Just your thoughts on 537 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: what you're bringing into the season. 538 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 10: Well, we got a good football team. I can tell 539 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 10: you that for sure. From the roster for one to 540 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 10: eighty five is maybe as good as we've ever had here, 541 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 10: and so we feel like we're ready to make this transition. 542 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 10: It's a very competitive league. It's a lot of balance 543 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 10: in the Big twelve. There's probably literally eight or nine 544 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 10: teams I have a chance of winning the championship, and 545 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 10: so we're going to come into an environment that, like 546 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 10: I said, is very competitive. We'll find out where we 547 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 10: stand right away. We go to Stillwater play Oklahoma State 548 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 10: with our first car in our first conference game on 549 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 10: September twenty first, So give you a lot better idea 550 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 10: than where we stand. 551 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: Last question, coach, we know the rivalry, the Holy War 552 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: between Brigham Young and Utah. 553 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: You know it's always a big deal. 554 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: But you're back in the same conference again for the 555 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: first time in more than a decade. What about that 556 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: rivalry heating up even more because of that? 557 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, it was miss when you know we're in the 558 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 10: Pac twelve. They were independent and so now it's come 559 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 10: full circle and it's more like it was when we 560 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 10: were both in the Mountain West playing in the same league, 561 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 10: so it becomes a yearly event. It is the single 562 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 10: biggest sporting event in the state of Utah on any 563 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 10: given year, with the exception if we have the Olympics 564 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 10: or something like that that magnitude. But it's a strong rivalry. 565 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 10: I think it's one of the most underrated rivalries in 566 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 10: the country. What we haven't done yet has got it 567 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 10: back in a rivalry week, which is the last week 568 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 10: of the season. It's week eight or nine right now, 569 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 10: so so not in the traditional rivalry spot yet, but 570 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 10: I think it's trending that way and it's going to 571 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 10: be exciting for the state of Utah for this rivalry 572 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 10: to pick back up. 573 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: Well, looking forward to that and you guys going to 574 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: the Big twelve and possibly doing great things. Coach kyleak Whitnham, 575 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining. 576 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 10: Us, appreciate you, thank you for having me on. 577 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: Well, justin Herbert, the Chargers are getting some new digs 578 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: as they prepared to report for training camp. We're going 579 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: to catch up with Omar Ruiz and Bridget Condon who 580 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: are going to tell us about the Chargers new training facility. 581 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 4: And a lot more. 582 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 2: Right after the break here on the Insiders. You're back 583 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 2: at the. 584 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: Insiders and you're looking at the Bolt, the Chargers new 585 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: facility in El Segundo, California, just a few miles away 586 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: from their home stadium right here, Sofi Stadium, and these 587 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: NFL Network studios now Bridget Condon, Omar Ruiz, they were 588 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: on that tour yesterday. As you're seeing the AFC West 589 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: training camp dates the Charges they are going to be 590 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: reporting the rookies on the sixteenth, the veterans on the 591 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: twenty third, when most veterans. 592 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 2: Are on the league are reporting. 593 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: But let's bring in Omar Ruiz and our Bridget content who, 594 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: as I just mentioned, were on the tour of the 595 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: Bolt and Bridget what are your first thoughts on seeing 596 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: the new facility. 597 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 2: Steve, It is unbelievable. 598 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 11: The moment you drive up through security, you're blown away. 599 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 11: It is a completely different vibe than where the Chargers 600 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 11: were in Costa Mesa. Remember that building in Coast to Mesa. 601 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 11: There were other companies there, there was a coffee shop 602 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 11: that anybody could go to. It didn't feel like the 603 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 11: home of the Chargers, whereas this totally feels like you 604 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 11: are going to a facility that was designed intentionally for 605 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 11: football versus the other one. It was an office building 606 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 11: turned into a facility for football. One of my favorite 607 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 11: parts was the pizza oven in the cafeteria, shaped like 608 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 11: a Charger's helmet. Every little detail in this thing is incredible. 609 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 11: You're seeing the locker room right there. That's another thing that. 610 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: It was delicious. 611 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 11: By the way, I think Omar tried about every single 612 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 11: slice of pizza. I don't think we were supposed to 613 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 11: do that, but I mean, hey, he would get in 614 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 11: his money's worth. But the locker room was absolutely amazing. 615 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 11: The locker room that the Chargers had in Coast to 616 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 11: Mesa when they had guys from Mini caamp or training camp, 617 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 11: they had to add these temporary lockers in the middle 618 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 11: of the locker room. It just felt awkward. We've been 619 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 11: in multiple different locker rooms as reporters around the league, 620 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 11: and this new one that the Chargers have feels similar 621 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 11: to some of the other high profile teams right the 622 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 11: way that it's designed. There's a massive couch in there, 623 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 11: there's a ping pong table, there's enough lockers for people 624 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 11: who are trying out during Mini caamp or training camp. 625 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 11: It's just this whole cohesion that makes it feel different 626 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 11: and those things matter. Steven Omar, you know when you 627 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 11: remember when the Jags got their new facility and the 628 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 11: way the players were excited, and you just feel this 629 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 11: new energy. We've been saying it since Jim Harbaugh took 630 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 11: over as head coach, and now this is another stepping 631 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 11: stone in the right direction. And I know these players 632 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 11: are going to be proud when they pull up ready 633 00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 11: to get to work. 634 00:29:58,920 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 4: They're going to want to be there. 635 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 3: Some of them had that tour Bridget after Mini camp. 636 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 3: Others will see it for the first time when they 637 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 3: report for training camp. You mentioned the cohesion, the thoughtfulness. 638 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 3: Obviously they spared no expense. You saw some of those designs. 639 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 3: How spectacular of a setting it is there and AlSi 640 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,479 Speaker 3: Gundo for the bolt, but having the sauna and the 641 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 3: training room and the hot tubs and the weight room 642 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 3: all nearby. With the training room, the kind of thoughtfulness 643 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 3: as they go from the locker room to the field 644 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 3: has all been laid out. No excuses to not have 645 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 3: their best performance on the football field, and they're excited 646 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 3: to show it to their fans. They're building the facade, 647 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 3: the canopy to get ready for training camp. Obviously they're 648 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 3: building a new offense to centerpiece by Justin Herbert, of 649 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 3: course Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh, you know, with that 650 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 3: run first mentality, but Greg Roman saying, it's not so 651 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 3: much about running and not having balance, it's about having 652 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 3: the illusion to run as well. 653 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 2: And of course Justin Herbert says, whether he throws. 654 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 3: Once or he throws a hundred times, whatever it takes 655 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 3: to win is what they're going to do. But we 656 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: know that Harbaugh and Roman they want to instill that 657 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 3: run first mentality, the toughness, the physical brand of football 658 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 3: on both sides of the trenches. They've installed the offense 659 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 3: about three different times right now, Justin Herbert saying. 660 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 2: That they gave them the full playbook and they've. 661 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 3: Been installing it over and over again, kind of like 662 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 3: different layers of paint, is how he described it. As 663 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 3: they get ready for a training camp, so he said 664 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 3: it was a lot to absorb. But he feels like 665 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: as they get ready for a training camp, and as 666 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 3: they continue to install it and rehash it, that they'll 667 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 3: be ready to go for the start of the season. 668 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 3: And of course showed off to the fans and the 669 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 3: rest of us there for training camp. 670 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: And Jim Harbaugh already making his inpront on what style 671 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: they're going to play by beefing up that offensive line, 672 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: drafting Joe All to top tackle in the first round. 673 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 2: All right, Omar, thanks for hanging out, Bridget. 674 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: You stick around for just a second, because another team 675 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: that's going to be getting a new facility is just 676 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: across town. That's the Los Angeles Rams, and you're looking 677 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: at the NFC West. 678 00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 2: Training camp dates. 679 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: Most of those teams again, the veteran reporting on July 680 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: twenty third, the Niners rookies coming in before everybody else. Okay, Bridget, 681 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: we're talking about the Rams right now, and we know 682 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: they're running back Kyron Williams is a big part of 683 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: their offense. 684 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 2: How much are they going to be counting on him 685 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 2: this season? 686 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 11: See if it's going to be an interesting storyline to 687 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 11: follow throughout training cramp. Remember Kyen Williams did not participate 688 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 11: in OTAs he was dealing with a foot injury. Sean 689 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 11: McVay said, don't be concerned about it. He will be 690 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 11: there in training camp and I can attest to that 691 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 11: at OTAs when I was there, I did see him 692 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 11: working off to the side running, So we're expecting to 693 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 11: see him on training camp, but how much does he 694 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 11: impact this offense? Well, last season, when he played and 695 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 11: scored a touchdown, the Rams were eight and one. When 696 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 11: he didn't play or have a touchdown, they were two 697 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 11: and six. He also was the first one thousand yard 698 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 11: rusher for the Rams since twenty eighteen when Todd Gurley 699 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 11: was on the team. Remember what happened that season, Yeah, 700 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 11: they made it. 701 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 2: To the Super Bowl. 702 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 11: So this guy had one thousand yards rushing last season 703 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 11: and he missed four games because of injury. Imagine what 704 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 11: a healthy Kien Williams can do. When you have guys 705 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 11: like Kuku Nakua and Cooper Cup that defenses are studying 706 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 11: all week long trying to take them out of the game, 707 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 11: you need somebody that can run the ball. Kyron Williams 708 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 11: hopes to be that guy. Plus, they drafted the Michigan 709 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 11: a running back, Blake Korum, who was the only player 710 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 11: in the FBS last season that scored a touchdown in 711 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 11: every game. So if that can translate at all to 712 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 11: the NFL, the Rams offense is going to be in good. 713 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: Shae Bridget you know, talking about the shift maybe a 714 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: little bit in the mentality of that offense. You talk 715 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: about the running game, they have beefed up that offensive 716 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: line to enhance that running game as well. 717 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 2: Really good stock Bridget appreciate you well. 718 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: Back in June, the NFL partnered with Beet to help 719 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,719 Speaker 1: people register to vote.

We'll 726 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: hear from his former coach at Brigham you On University, 727 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: Kialani Sataki, about the star wide out. 728 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 2: And his team's second season in the Big twelve.

But we 760 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,720 Speaker 13: have a lot of things that we've done well last season. 761 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 13: We just need to do it more consistently. I would 762 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 13: feel differently if we're overwhelmed at the talent, but we 763 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 13: actually have. 764 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 8: Good talent on our team. We just got to do it. 765 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 13: I got to do a better job of getting them 766 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 13: to play more consistent, and I think we've made the 767 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 13: right moves and the right changes. 768 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 8: To get that for us in our second year. 769 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 14: You know, coach, everyone will talking about Pooking the coup 770 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 14: and his success right away, But you guys have a 771 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 14: brand of toughness and physicality, and guys that go into 772 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 14: the National Football League appear to have a lot of success. 773 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 2: What is it about what you guys. 774 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 14: Are doing at BYU that are allowing you to produce 775 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 14: so many pros? 776 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 8: Well, I think we have a really good young men. 777 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 13: I mean there's great young men on all of college football, 778 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 13: but you guys that understand live live their life a 779 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 13: different way and make sacrifices here, you know, so it 780 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 13: can be focused on complete just football and academics. So 781 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 13: I think we get trying to get the most out 782 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 13: of our guys to be disciplined. But when it's all said, 783 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 13: and done. A lot of that is because they have 784 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 13: great parents. And I'll take kids that love their parents. Man, 785 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 13: they're easier to coach, and I can hang out with 786 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 13: those guys. And so I being a son myself, you know, 787 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 13: I'm obedient and listen to my dad, and so I 788 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 13: like to have obedient sons and on my football team. 789 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 13: And you saw after he broke the record who he 790 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 13: goes in the hugs versus mother. 791 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: Well, then there you go, and you know, and like Pooka, 792 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 1: of course he's an emerging superstar. 793 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:11,760 Speaker 2: But you've coached guys. 794 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: You know, You've had Fred Warner there, You've had Tyler 795 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: alg here there at Bringing Me Young University. Because you've 796 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 1: also had Zach Wilson there, and we saw how things 797 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 1: you know went, you know, went with him with the Jets. 798 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: He's no longer there, but he's getting another opportunity in Denver. 799 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: And knowing him and his character and the type of 800 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 1: talent that he has, what about him maybe recreating himself 801 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: under Sean Payton there with the Broncos. 802 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 13: Well, I think I think, I mean, there's nothing against 803 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 13: the Jets, you know, but I think Sean Payton's going 804 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 13: to be a really good mentor for him, and I 805 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 13: think the fit is a lot better for him there. 806 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 13: I think the opportunities that he'll have.
