16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: other than that, was great. It's just happy to be around.

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: You know. It's funny, I've consumed less of this tournament

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: than I think any other tournament ever. I would say

19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: that you've concerned less of this tournament then than most

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: because it feels like I can't escape it. Everywhere I go,

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: every person. I talked to kids all the way up

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: for a sport that doesn't get consumed much. Yeah, November, December, January, February,

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: it's all that's on. It's all that's time, everywhere on

24
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: the back all weekend. It's been on NonStop. I got

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: people coming up to me on Saturday night. I can't

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: believe Kansas. Can you believe Kansas lost? I'm like, well,

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: how many times did you see Kansas play and three

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: of their top guys from a year before and then

29
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: their best player at an ankle injury? Uh no, they

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: had they were healthy. They did lose guys like Obaji,

31
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: and they lost some guys from the National Championshi team.

32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: But they they're good. They're number one seed. Um. But

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: they were health relatively healthy in this. But it was

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: it just speaks to like, yeah, like it's funny, like

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't escape it. By the way, Gibbe's back, Hello Gibbe.

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: That's the best part. Hello boys, how are you? Buddy?

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Survived and advanced? We survived, the hooligans Survivedadas survived the hooligans.

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: There might be I just wish that like I could

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: have like a hard knocks of this trap. Oh yeah,

40
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: I'd really enjoy consuming that. I would too, just to

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: see they're like confident none of us could ever run

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: for public office. I think it feels like a lock.

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah to me. Do you have a good time? How

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: much golf do you get in? Uh? We played almost

45
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: ninety holes in like four days. That's getting after it.

46
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: It was, and then like just drinking your face off,

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: you know, like one or two in the morning, four

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,640

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: can go back to bed for an hour or two

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: before we started all over again. Run it right back. Yeah,

53
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: unbelievable golf, great times, U hung, As I told my wife,

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: better people, the Goulf's great and everything. But when you

55
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: got really good friends and good people, then it makes

56
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: it all better. It's cool that you guys still do that.

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: There's I've had various guys trip I know you you

58
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: you're still able to do that. I've had I've had

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: a couple of those that have were started and then

60
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: kind of drifted off. It's hard man to keep on

61
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: umy way. I'm definitely gonna get a text from my

62
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: mom soon. I worry about that Kibe. Whenever, whatever he

63
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: talks about, I'll tell you what she should be worried about.

64
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: She should have been worried about me. Eight This about

65
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: eight thirty seven am Sunday morning, I'm driving down two

66
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: seventy one northbound heading to ninety westbound because I had

67
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: a nine o'clock tip in AU basketball, back to back

68
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: nine am tips. It's Saturday morning at Garfield Heights at

69
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: nine am. Because we had that and the road condition

70
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: that the season was over, I landed at six am.

71
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: This is AU. That was community. This is AU. So

72
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, I am tip time at Euclid Middle School.

73
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: Fantastic facility, by the way, in Euclid. I can confirm

74
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: to you that it was as bad of road conditions

75
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: as I have ever seen. Now, let's remember I grew

76
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: up in Montana. That's right where the wind blows, and

77
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: but neither here. So it started at two seventy one

78
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: like it was white out blizzard, like could not see

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: in front of you, white out blizzard. The problem was,

80
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: and I don't not an expert on road maintenance, but

81
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: from what I could tell, there was no salt port,

82
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: so it was snow. It was ice snow blizzard. So

83
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm going I never advanced more than thirty two miles

84
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: an hour. I'm telling NBC. I'm like, dude, we'll be

85
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: lucky if we get there at nine. I have no

86
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: idea if this tournament's going to go on. I don't

87
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: know how the hell all these teams are gonna get here.

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: But it was basically what amounted to and people that

89
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: live on that side could attest to it. It's basically

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: an incredible blizzard over what appeared to be about a

91
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: ten mile radius, and that was it because there was

92
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: nothing anywhere else mine, no, totally. So you make the

93
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: turn on to ninety heading west, and it's a parking

94
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: lot of cars going north, they're all going on to

95
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: two seventy one. They're all backed up forever because there's

96
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: an accident. Then going west on ninety and what you

97
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: see there's I don't drive that road very often, but

98
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: there is a pretty distinct turn in ninety before it

99
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: kind of evens out, kind of near the food bank.

100
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: There was a turn and on this turn, cars are

101
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: driving and as they're driving They're just sliding down, sliding

102
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: into the ditch, one after another. There's like eight of them.

103
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: Just so because of my expertise in driving in winter conditions,

104
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: and your car's elite and nice it is, it's good

105
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: and it's heavy, which helps. But I also pages like, Dad,

106
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing? I'm like, buddy,

107
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: we're going highside and we're driving in the snow. I'm

108
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: not going I'm not. We stay out of that stuff.

109
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: Let's go in the snow. We got some track high side,

110
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: so we followed an suv like all the way around

111
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: the top. As I'm driving their cars like trying to

112
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: they're like trying to hit. They don't know how to

113
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: do it, so they're hitting the gas trying to go

114
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: up the curt This is a turn on a freeway,

115
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: and as they're trying to go up one after another,

116
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: I can't. Somehow we get through it. It It feels like

117
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: a movie. I get to Euclid Middle School. I get

118
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: off my nat I've never been there before. The Navis

119
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: telling me make a right here. I'm like, well, there's

120
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: eight inches of snow that has not been plowed, so

121
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: I don't think I will make it. Right there. I

122
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go find another right and do it

123
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: that way. I found one where one previous car had

124
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: gone through. There were six stop signs on this road.

125
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: It was a residential street. I was the only one

126
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: on it. I was probably the only idiot driving around

127
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: Euclid othern people going to this basketball tournament. I said, Bud,

128
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: we're not stopping for any signs. We're blowing right through them.

129
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: So Euclid PD, God bless you. If you got cams

130
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: on stop signs, you got me. I drove right through

131
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: a man. I'm like, if I slow down, I'm done,

132
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: You're done. I'm done. I gotta keep the momentum going.

133
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: Pull into the parking lot full of snow. Somehow they

134
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: played basketball the worst, as bad as any road conditions

135
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: I've ever driven on the play and it was from well,

136
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: of course they it was from like probably the worst

137
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: was from like Parker Hanaffin headquarters to Euclid. So that

138
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: however long, that is Euclid Middle School, High School, That

139
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: stretch wild? Was that an all day? Was this still

140
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: going when you got done? The snow was done? Okay?

141
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: No, no no, no no, it was. I was in the middle

142
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: of it. At eight nine in the morning, and then

143
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: it was done by we've we lost out in the

144
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: noon games. We were home by by one thirty. It

145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: was cleared and the roads were good, but they were undrivable,

146
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: as anyone who was there at that time can attest,

147
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: as there were cars in the ditch everywhere, rex everywhere.

148
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: Two things. One Nates March brother Nanos out there and

149
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: said it was the worst she's ever driven in. She was, well, yeah,

150
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: she said, she stopped, but her card did not. Oh no,

151
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: but nobody else is out there, so she was, so

152
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: she was fine. Um. The other comment I'm gonna make

153
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: is that I believe and I played basketball from basically

154
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: like first grade through high school. Look at him, Look

155
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: at him, Bam, look at Pestos. Presto's Uh. I'm pretty

156
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: sure by the time that NBC hits high school he

157
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: will have played significantly more basketball games than I played

158
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: in my entire career. I'm gonna bet you that he's

159
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: played more right now than he definitely's played more than

160
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: I played in my career. Now through third, fourth and

161
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: fifth grade, for sure, he has that played wild and

162
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: he's played one hundred and eighty basketball games last three years,

163
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: forty games in the leagues, and then at least twenty

164
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: AU games maybe more each year, maybe more like thirty.

165
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: So you're talking seventy games a year. We just spring

166
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: does fall belltball too, some of that. You can other

167
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: ten games in the Yeah, he's playing eighty game games

168
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: a year. I mean I didn't play. We played. Maybe

169
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: I didn't play eighty games, and probably in my I

170
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: probably didn't play a hundred. Ever, the modal when I

171
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: was in high school, we would play. We'd have like

172
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: a twenty five game season, and that would count your

173
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: tournaments and everything. It all stops like once you get

174
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: into seventh grade. Then like the middle school stuff, it's contained,

175
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: like they play like sixteen games. It's sanity. And then

176
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: but the AU stuffs a lot. But like the but

177
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: in for these little guys, they play these community leagues

178
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: and then they play this AU stuff, and it just

179
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: it's you just chase it. It's crazy. Of course, it's

180
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: a money grab, it's all of those things. But everyone's

181
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: doing it, and no one has the guts to say, well,

182
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: this is stupid. I'm not gonna do it unless the

183
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: kids want to do it. No, no, no, it goes everywhere.

184
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: It's worse in Florida. No, it's nuts. It's around the clock.

185
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's too much. It's on their bodies, it is.

186
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: But the kids want to do it and all their

187
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: buddies are doing it. So are you gonna be the

188
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: one to say, well you can't do it? Because and

189
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: then they're like, well, dad, he's doing it and they're

190
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: doing it not and I this is what I want

191
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: to do. But it's not like they only play basketball.

192
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: No I don't. He had he had lacrosse Saturday night.

193
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: So it's just stacks. It's one thing after another. But yeah,

194
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: you'll get some time off Camemorial Day. I know it.

195
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: It's I had. I was talking to a great friend

196
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: of mine, you know, I was on the way to

197
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: one of these because I beams. He had stuff and

198
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: we're taking him to some lacrosse stuff and he's like

199
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: and he's he's like, where are you at? He goes,

200
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: he picked up him. He's like, are you on your

201
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: way to basketball or a cross right now? And he

202
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: said both and he goes, I know you're gonna think

203
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: this is crazy, but this is going to be gone

204
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: in a blink. So just to show this stuff. Enjoy

205
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: the car rides, and I do. I didn't tell it

206
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: to get it all out, but just from the standpoint

207
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: of like this snow, I've never seen a drive like

208
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: that before in my life. I was insane in March

209
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: and then it was that it was just under that

210
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: little spot. Don't get your kids into swimming. I'll tell

211
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: you what seems like the worst. This feels like it's soccer.

212
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Soccer is the worst. Swimming. Soccer does not end. Swimming

213
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: is intense because you practice every day. Yeah, I think

214
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: we're I think we've already. My retort to swimming was

215
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: they all know how to swim. I was good at

216
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: but I did swim. I did basketball and baseball swimming

217
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: and then golf on competitive swimming where the hours, oh

218
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: my god, those days is about as brutal as a gift.

219
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: You can't complain. I mean, in the end, you are

220
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: it's basketball, so and I like, so it's all good,

221
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: but it's just a staggering It's a lot amount of games,

222
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: it really is. How burnout must be high. What's up?

223
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: How do you play? You did pretty good? But I

224
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: mean now, now the other thing with the with a

225
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: EU is like the difference between the difference between the

226
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: great teams and the good teams is the Grand Canyon,

227
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: and then the difference between the good teams and the

228
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: bad teams is the Grand Canyon. Okay, so you can

229
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: beat a team we did yesterday. We beat a team

230
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: by twenty two in the morning, and then we were

231
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: eliminated by the teams that ended up winning it. They

232
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: beat us by twenty two. So the forty four point

233
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: swing in the same tournament. So there's no it's really

234
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: really halves nothing. And then the middle, and we're probably

235
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: at the top end of the middle. Well least there's

236
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: a middle when I play there, but they don't do

237
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: a good job of They don't do it's a good

238
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: job of the middle playing against the middle, and the

239
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: great playing against the great, and the bad playing against

240
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: the bad. So what I think happens is if you're

241
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: on a bad team, what funds this off? You're playing

242
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: against somebody who beat you fifty five to twelve grades

243
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: that the bad The bad teams are just like unfortunately

244
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: it's the high school team that's just Hey, we're bonding

245
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: and you know, sure, we're just continuing the seasons. Who

246
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: we can get ready for next season. Well, in AU

247
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: that doesn't work because it's all it's all about the

248
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: all Star team it is and it's yes, it's all

249
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: zone zone defense and it's all yeah, yeah, it's it

250
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: is what it is. Whatever. Who do you think came

251
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: up with the idea that they would be able to

252
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: monetize fourth and fifth graders to this extent Someone who's

253
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: very rich. Yeah, that's I mean youth sports. I mean

254
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: that real sports did the story on it. Like these

255
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: complexes that pop up like the one you got written. Yeah,

256
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's you build. You build an indoor facility.

257
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: You got indoor facility with where you can do turf fields,

258
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: and then basketball and then got I mean I mean

259
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: even ice hockey, Like you can be rented out constantly,

260
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: never never not have tenants in it. And the other

261
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: thing is apparent too. You get it. You say to yourself, well,

262
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: what do you am I doing this? Like if he's

263
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: not doing this, and what are they doing? Like the

264
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: weather sucks. You weren't going to be outside. It was

265
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: twenty degrees and blowing. So if we're not doing this

266
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: and we're just in the house doing stuff, like how

267
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: do we you know? So it's a win in that sense.

268
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a lot, really is. We had a

269
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: lot of We had a lot of news over the weekend.

270
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Here lots going on here, a lot going nothing I

271
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: would consider the major or significantly impacting the outcome of

272
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three season, but a lot. Well that

273
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: hurts my lead a little. Well, it's true. For the day,

274
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: it's true. I mean it's true. It is true. Yeah. Um,

275
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: some bodies coming in tight end. Jordan Aikins I liked.

276
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: We talked about Jordan Hurst. We talked about Aikins and

277
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: Hurst last week. Yeah, um, we talked about those on Friday.

278
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: And then Tristan Hill, the defensive tackle Kanash comes back. Yeah,

279
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: so those we like. You liked him a lot, loves Yeah,

280
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: great rap report reporting, Mike Ford a corner. These are

281
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: special teams, guys all locking in. Anthony Walker Junior being

282
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: hosted on a free agent deal with the Commies today.

283
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: That doesn't make me happy. In order, I think it

284
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: would make much of our defense happy. No, it's one

285
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: of those things you feel like if he was coming back,

286
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: it almost feels like he would have been back already, right,

287
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know what the rationale is they are

288
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: saying for like a you know, so many of our

289
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: fans are excited about a guy named Micole Hardman. I'm

290
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: excited about him too. It feels like his market his

291
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, he will come cheap. But these things aren't

292
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: getting done. I mean, we have done a lot of

293
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: little things like, for example, Maurice Hearst and Tristan Hill.

294
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way. I guess that there

295
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: is a way that they bowl made the team, but

296
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: it would be highly unlikely that they both make the team.

297
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Kunashik's a special teams guy. We also got another special

298
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: teams guy from the Falcons. Their quarterback Mike Ford, according

299
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: to Ian report called him a special teams a signing

300
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: with the Browns on a one year deal. So that's

301
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: the help obviously the special team's union Bubba Ventrone. But

302
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, Aikin's I think is going to compete maybe

303
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: with Harrison Brian and to be that number two tight end.

304
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: He's certainly more accomplished in his career than Harrison Brian

305
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: is to this point. But chief is our tight end.

306
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah them, you know, And then the Brandon Cooks was

307
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: traded to the Cowboys, over the weekend. You and I

308
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: had talked about him kind of being and he'd had

309
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: great chemistry with Watson, and that was, you know, another

310
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: guy that we had kind of talked about. It's just

311
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: some money, yeah, and that's what it's going to be

312
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: on a lot of it. I think the tricky thing,

313
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, as we kind of laid out, was you

314
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: had you're better off than you were a year ago.

315
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: But there's always in we talked about this last week,

316
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: there's always that thing in the back of your head

317
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: that says, okay, but is that good enough to beat

318
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City? Good enough to be Buffalo? Is I good

319
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: eno have to beat Cincinnati? Is it good enough to

320
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: beat the Chargers? Like that's is it good enough to

321
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: beat in a Packers or I'm sorry it jets with Rogers?

322
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: Is it? And ascending Lawrence in Jacksonville like you're not

323
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: You're not in the NFC North, You're in the AFC,

324
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: in the AFC North, and so you need it, like

325
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: that's what needs to happen in order to go so

326
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: and again the picture will not be complete until after

327
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: the draft. But this is me talking me personally. If

328
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: the reports aren't pro football focus has lowered the projected

329
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: number from a coole hardman to four million. For four

330
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: million dollars, I think that that guy has an opportunity

331
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: to impact the outcome of multiple games this year, especially

332
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: some of these track meets that you're talking about. Is

333
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: he a complete receiver? Of course not, that's why he's going,

334
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: That's why the number is what it is. But does

335
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: he have a few tricks that he's a lead at. Yes,

336
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: he does. He's a red zone threat. We struggle in

337
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: the red zone. He's a guy that changes the calculus

338
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: in the red zone with his ability to get horizontal.

339
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: He's a guy who can get vertical and make big

340
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: plays and threaten a defense that way as well. So

341
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: for four million dollars, to me, he's a better chance

342
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: of helping us get somewhere of significance than all of

343
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: these little one million dollars signings do. Yeah, so, and

344
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: you need them, right you need to fill out your roster.

345
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: So I understand why we're having these signings. But to

346
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: me right now, that's a guy that if we had

347
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: that you truly can go into the draft and kind

348
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: of go wherever you want. I don't think you can

349
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: go into the draft and having not filled that position,

350
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be in that position. You can,

351
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't because the other thing is is what's

352
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: the hit rate on receivers, especially where you're picking. I mean,

353
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: it's hard like you're not getting the best guy on

354
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: the board. You're trying to find a diamond in the rough.

355
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: Forty two. You can get an established guy, but there's

356
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: always going to be a flaw. Otherwise you would have

357
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: been a one sure, and I think that forty two. Honestly,

358
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 1: this is a great spot for an edge. I think

359
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: it's a great spot for a running back. It's an

360
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: elite spot for a running back. I mean, that's where

361
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: you would be able to get a star on a

362
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: rookie deal. And I think that eventually we're not there

363
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: yet obviously, but that's going to have to be something

364
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: that we're going to think about. I think when our

365
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: fans think out loud, and we're gonna get to some

366
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: grades that are completely independent of us. I think the

367
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: Browns has done a very good job addressing their needs

368
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: and doing it in a very fistically responsible manner. They've

369
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: signed as many people as just about any team in

370
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: the league. Honestly, they've been They have been aggressive in

371
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: free agency, and I know we all want everybody to

372
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: get every every great player to come be a clean Brown.

373
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: It's just that unfortunately the way that it works. However, however,

374
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: I do think that you know, we are a team

375
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: that is hamstrung in some respect by the fact that

376
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: we are paying top money to two guards and a

377
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: running back, which I think if you were to ask

378
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: Paul De Podesta and Andrew Berry and you know, in

379
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: their true roster creation, like, if they could have done

380
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: it any way they wanted to, would they have significantly

381
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: invested into two guards and a running back? The answer

382
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: probably know, they probably don't want to ever have a

383
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: running back on a second contract, if they're being honest

384
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: about it. But Nick Chubb is special and has done

385
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: everything the right way, and how do you not keep

386
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: that guy in your organization? And then you know, Batonio,

387
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: same thing. Now you can and then you pay ye

388
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: teller because he's put back to back Pro Bowls. He's

389
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: played well for you also, But at some point that's

390
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: where you got to let Bill Callahan be Bill Callahan

391
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: and make make stars out of you know, Clay and

392
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: so I think we are hamstrung in what we want

393
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: to do in some respect because of that truism that

394
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: I just laid out. Not to mention, You've got Miles

395
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: on a big contract, You've got your quarterback on a

396
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: big contract. You got your number one receiver run a

397
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: big contract, you get your number one corner on a

398
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: big contract. Those would all be fine. But when you

399
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: also have two guards and a running back being paid

400
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: near the top of the market at their respect the positions,

401
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: that's hard and that limits your ability to do things elsewhere. Yeah, yep, yep,

402
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: itsured us. So that's where you stand. And meantime, the

403
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: NFL continues to move lots of news over the weekend,

434
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: news over the weekend of the National Football League. The

435
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: Panthers are signed wide receiver Adam Theland three years, twenty

436
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: five million bucks. Panthers are being pretty aggressive. They are.

437
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: Now it's gonna be interesting. You'd think it's a CJ. Stroud.

438
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: It's supposedly it's CJ. Stroud or Anthony Richardson for them.

439
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: Bryce Young is apparently not even in the conversation for them.

440
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: Look at that a little bit mop that he just

441
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: flipped back together. You can tell it's bringing it back.

442
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: That's like a it's interesting. He goes opposite, he goes

443
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: long summer short winter. Yeah, I've noticed that. It's odd. Yeah,

444
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: this is an odds opposite. Um, it's like it'll be Stroud.

445
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: You would think it's funny, Like you saw sims Head

446
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: Stroud number one today, Um, there was somebody else. Oh

447
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: it was McShay was all over like it's like finally

448
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: everyone's like watched his Georgia game and they're like oh yeah,

449
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, this is what he can do against

450
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: the very best teams in college. They're probably already here,

451
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: and some some very It's almost like they're trying to

452
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: trying to like retroactively changed, to change their analysis based

453
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: on where the draft's gonna go. A very astute follower

454
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: of mind named John Schaeffer with a with a response to, uh,

455
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 1: I don't remember a better closing argument. By the way

456
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: you lit up when I said that day was really exciting.

457
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: Um the way that uh, CJ's hell of a closing

458
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: argument to walk out that way, and he said, he

459
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: followed a, it's nice of you. Um, he said similar

460
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: to Burrow, And I said, yeah, pretty good. You know

461
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: you think about what Burrow did at because there was

462
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: whispers around Burrow and that was like, wow, that's too much,

463
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: so great in the SEC title game, the semifinal and

464
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: in the final, and CJ had that one. He just

465
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: had it in a loss. I don't know one game.

466
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: I don't know who's gonna really throw the ball to.

467
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't either. I guess Adam Feeling. So a lot

468
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: of our fans were furious that we didn't get Adam.

469
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: What does Adam Feelin do that we don't have I

470
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I was miffed by and he's thirty two

471
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: and has anyone paid attention the last couple of years

472
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: from a health standpoint with him. Yeah, a great, great player.

473
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: Unbelievable story. Kevin Stefants, he had light up talking about

474
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: Adam feeling undrafted. Sure, incredible story, but not what we

475
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: need it at all. No, no, no, you're you're good

476
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: in that you need. That's what you need. Yeah, and

477
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: Amari very good vertically last year, Donald People's Jones very

478
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: good vertically last year. We don't have just a that

479
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: catch and run dangerous all of that speed space creator.

480
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: That's what we need and we're not. I'm not saying

481
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: we need a true number one. But I'll tell you

482
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: what right now, Nathan's gonna bring me mcole. Yeah, I'm biased,

483
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: but I think that he's the kind of athlete that

484
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: we need as the and it's cheap, right, He's the

485
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: best that you can get what you can offer. Now,

486
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: what's interesting is the rumors about Odell and am I

487
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: intrigued by that. Absolutely. I loved when O'Dell's here. We

488
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: liked him. I also think like yes, but I also

489
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: think it's been a really long time since he was

490
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen Giants Odell Beckham Junior. It was very good

491
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: for the Rims he was, but that was another major

492
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: lower body injured between then and now, no doubt. And

493
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: that team also had Cooper Cup winning the Triple Crown

494
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: in that offense, so it was they had a lot

495
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: going on. They did. But if he was a piece

496
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: with if you had O'Dell, Donovan and Amari out there,

497
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: you feel I think you feel okay about that now.

498
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: One thing that the reason I was mentioning that is

499
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: maybe he's not somebody who signs soon because we have

500
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: to carry with John Johnson being given that post June

501
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 1: first designation, we have to carry that nine million on

502
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: our cap until June first. So with June first, the

503
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: way that the Clowney deal was done, which we had

504
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: to release him too at June first, we're gonna get

505
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: about almost eleven million dollars of cap space on June

506
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: first from John Johnson and Clowney. So we could we

507
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: have room to sign somebody then, which would make sense.

508
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: It would be somebody that had been with us. I'm

509
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: not saying it in any way shape form. We're signing

510
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: O'Dell but that's he's the kind of guy that you

511
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: could signed then, you know what I mean, Yeah, I'd

512
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: love to. I mean, I loved him when he was great. Great.

513
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: I just we need we need a little again. I

514
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: think people weapons, you just need weapons that you can't

515
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: have enough weapons. You've this is a league where you've

516
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: got to score, and we've got to score. A ton

517
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: could come out of this conference and forget that, Like,

518
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: let's just start with winning this division. And yes, we've

519
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: had the Bengals number, but we have got it. We've

520
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: got to score consistently and a lot of that will

521
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: fall on the shoulders of our quarterback to Shaun Watson, rightfully, so,

522
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: but we have got to win and we have got

523
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: to score consistently. Yes, without a question. So that's yeah.

524
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean I think that all those things add up.

525
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: Former Eagles safety CJ. Gardner Johnson one years, eight million

526
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: for the Lions. I really like what the Lions have

527
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: done this offseason. The favorites in the division, and they

528
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: got two first round picks. Yeah, they're they're nice. I like.

529
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: I like that team. They're looking to add more weapons too,

530
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: by the way, Yeah, they are in contact with some

531
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: of the remaining weapons that are out there. CJ. Gardner

532
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: Johnson's one of those, you know, supposedly and again who's

533
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: now their agent try to say that's not sure. They

534
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: offered us kind of a bogus three year deal to

535
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles, but the word is that the Eagles offered

536
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: him more money. Initially he thought he could be better

537
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: than free age. He didn't. Now he's on a one

538
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: year deal, and now clearly there is something around CJ.

539
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson, which is why he was given up by

540
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: the Saints. And we know that he's fought teammates and

541
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: things of that nature. That he was able to be

542
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: had for one year, eight million dollars. But the guy

543
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: led the NFL in interceptions last year, and there's no

544
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: denying that he's a very very good football player, none

545
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: at all. I like this move from the Texans. They're

546
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: signing Laramie Tunsel three year deal, seventy five. You're gonna

547
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback at two protect him? Hey, how about

548
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: that guy? It's amazing. So I remember that draft night vividly,

549
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: very well. Yeah, he was gonna GOP five, was not two.

550
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: Maybe he was gonna be the first nine quarterback taken

551
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought, and then he happened the

552
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: day right the night like as in we're on we'd

553
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: done our pre draft show, and in betime that between

554
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: time that we got off of our pre draft show

555
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: and that the draft started, which was thirty minutes, we

556
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: were at a place downtown. We had this whole like

557
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: Browns party set up, and all of a sudden you

558
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: see him wearing a gas mask, taken bong rippers, and

559
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: he still only fell to like what somewhere between ten

560
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: and fifteens, I don't know where, somewhere between ten and fifty,

561
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: and he has now gone on to reset the tackle market,

562
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: not once but twice. Yeah. Yeah, he was picked number

563
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: thirteen overall. Thirteen overall. Yeah, there's two thousand and sixteen,

564
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: two thousand and sixty. We were just kind of figuring

565
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: out Corey coleman us. If I'm not mistaken. That was

566
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: one of the first examples I could think of where

567
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, camera, phone, shoot, you know, like

568
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: now we're so much more cognizant of it. Yeah, but

569
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: at that time, there weren't too many instances of like, wait,

570
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: you did what on a phone? You did Wait what? Yeah,

571
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: those are more rare at that point. But he's he's

572
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: obviously pushed through quite well. Cardinals have agreed to terms

573
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: wide Receivers Act Pascal to your deal. You mentioned Odell

574
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. He said on Saturday on Twitter, I'm so

575
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: confused where the quote is for me saying I want twenty.

576
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is four ain't enough. The market is

577
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: what the market is, buddy. Yeah, And you made the

578
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: very valid point earlier that there's, you know, quite a

579
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: bit that he's got to sort out, right, I mean

580
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: this is there's quite a bit that needs to be

581
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: sorted out with in terms of what you can reasonably

582
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: expect him to do on the football field for you.

583
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm looking at this two thousands sixteen draft,

584
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: Chris Jones in the second round. All time the leading

585
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: sackers from this draft was a pretty good draft. Chris

586
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: Jones was in the second round. He's got sixty five.

587
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: Yannicking gakwas in the third round. He's got sixty five.

588
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: Matthew Judeon from a Grand Valley State Jus fifth round pick,

589
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: fifth round pick of the Ravens sixty two point five

590
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: Bossa who went third sixty and a half he's only

591
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: played forty nine games, though I'm sorry he's only played

592
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: eighty four games. Everybody else has played at least one

593
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: hundred and ten. And then to Forrest Buckner, Leonard Floyd,

594
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave, like does poly cow. That's talent, not bad,

595
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: not bad. That's sixteen sixteen draft, and we had number two.

596
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: If you recall, this is the Wentz, this is when

597
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: Tea trade to Tennessee. Tennessee takes Conklin at eight, and

598
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: then you trade back to nineteen I think or fifteen,

599
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: and that's where we've got. So Tennessee came up to

600
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: get two Tennessee. No, Philly came up, I thought, and

601
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: we went to eight and then traded with Tennessee came

602
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: up to take Jack Conklin, and we took um Corey Coleman.

603
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: Who's the next receiver off the board. I don't know.

604
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: I gotta get it like lined up right in twenty sixteen,

605
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: all right, So um Corey Coleman goes fifteenth to us

606
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: Will Fuller twenty first. Josh Dockson, whose career did not

607
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: materialize that he would have thought out of TCU. Lakwan treadwell,

608
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: but he's still in the league. Yeah, you gotta give

609
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: he's hung around more than some of those cats. Then

610
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: it goes to the second round Sterling Shepherd at forty

611
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas at forty seven, which for a time appeared

612
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: to be well it still would have been, but also

613
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: like he was a you know, perfect place at the

614
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: right time, and also he was never anybody that at

615
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: that time in Ohio State had tested. Tyler Boyd fifty

616
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: five woods a very nice career. Yeah, yeah, that is Yeah,

617
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: those that that's that's down. That's tough. Yeah, Coleman sitting there, Yeah,

618
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: it's hard, man. The drafting of this stuff is hard.

619
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: Draft is very hard. That's why to even theorize that

620
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: you would be able to good God, listen to who

621
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: got drafted in a fifth round of this draft. You're

622
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: ready for this? Give it to me. Jude On who

623
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: I mentioned, who's a stud. Connor McGovern has been a

624
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: very good guard for Denver. That's not that exciting. Jordan Howard,

625
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: who burst on the scene, had a real nice career

626
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: running the football. How about these two picks back to

627
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: back in the fifth round, and I wonder if these

628
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: might be the best two back to back fifth round picks. Ever,

629
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: and I know that's hyperbole. Tyreek Hill round five, one six,

630
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: actually three in a row. The Palapuati Vatai the tackle

631
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: for the Eagles is one sixty four, Tyreek Hill is

632
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: one sixty five, and DJ Reader is one sixty six X.

633
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: I think you could say that that's the best three

634
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: fifth round picks consecutively, consecutively consecutively picked. I think that's

635
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: I do think that's fair. I think that's I think

636
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: that's probably true. That's unbelievable. Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah,

637
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: it's amazing how how people get missed. It happens. Um

638
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: all right, Coming up next one Thornhill. He was available

653
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: say maybe like thirty forty five minutes or something like that.

654
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,680

00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: can say. Like already, just like talking a little bit

656
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: about football, this scheme. How he's seen me in a

657
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: defense and um, he got me ready to go for sure?

658
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: Well how does he see you? And if center field

659
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: or deep safety, just how comfortable are you in that role?

660
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: I mean I'm very comfortable. I mean I think I'm

661
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: that guy that can cover from sideline and sideline. Um,

662
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: no matter where the ball is going to go, I

663
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: can see myself going to get it. Um. But I

664
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: can tell that he likes those guys that can do

665
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: multiple jobs, being able to cover man and man, being

666
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: down in the box planning a deep, a deep hath

667
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: man and a third So Um, he definitely see me

668
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: as that guy that can do all the different roles.

669
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: Hey one bulcople to Cleveland. Um, what did I ask you?

670
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: You know you've been part of two Super Bowl championship teams.

671
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: What kind of gravitized does that sort of give you

672
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: as you walk into the walk into that locker room

673
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: to kind of, you know, kind of set a tone

674
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: be a leader, you know, from from day one. I

675
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: mean when you're a part of a team that I mean,

676
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: if you're a part of a team that's being able

677
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: to go to multiple Super Bowls and win multiple super Bowls,

678
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: you're willing to take that wherever you go. Um, I

679
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: have to experience winning two of them and being in three,

680
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: so I know to feel like to be in that

681
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: big game and I know where it takes to win.

682
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm gonna bring with me. I'm gonna

683
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: bring that energy and I'm gonna bring it to my

684
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: teammates as well. And if I see someone like slacking,

685
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let him know, like that's not the way

686
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: to go about it. Like, let's let's pick it up

687
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: so we can get to where we want to be.

688
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: How much did you know you value with Kansas City?

689
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: How much did you kind of grow into a role

690
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: like that, you know with them. Um, I started off

691
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: kind of quiet me. I was a rookie, not really

692
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: knowing too much, like just listening to the older guys.

693
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: But as time went on, I became one of the

694
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: older guys in the room, and I had a bunch

695
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: of rookies that I had to depend on this season,

696
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: like we had we had five rookies, four to five

697
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: rookies this year that had to play, and and I

698
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: was looked at as that guy. I had to be

699
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: the leader. So I had to be that teacher in

700
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: the room and be the guy that they can lean

701
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: on if something was to go wrong and to lift

702
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: them up. Hey one, I just just wondering, you know,

703
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 1: in looking at your Twitter, uh, and just kind of

704
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: getting the vibe of being here for this little short

705
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: amount of time. You know, you're kind of embracing the

706
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: whole dog Pound, the land and all that kind of stuff.

707
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: So what has your reception been so far from Browns fans?

708
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: And how do you know you know about the vibe

709
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: of the land and the dog Pound and all that stuff.

710
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: The Browns fan has been amazing, Like they've been messaging me,

711
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: They've been showing all of that support since the day

712
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: that I mean, that announcement came out. But I'm super

713
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: excited about it because I've heard many good things about

714
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: the Dog Pound. The fans out here crazy, and that's

715
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: what I love to be a part of. When I

716
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: come out that tunnel, I want the fans to jack

717
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: me up and make me ready to run through the wall.

718
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: And that's how that's what I hear about Cleveland, and

719
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Hey, wand welcome to Cleveland. I want to

720
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: ask you, it looked like the Chiefs and Browns were

721
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: starting to develop a little bit of a rivalry there,

722
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: played in the playoffs and had that season opener. It

723
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: was real, you know, competitive, Just from your perspective because

724
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys are still on this team.

725
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 1: Just what was your impression of the Browns and how

726
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: close they were and do you feel like you're a

727
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: player that could kind of come in here and help

728
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: this group get over the top and get to where

729
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: you were in Kansas City. So with Cleveland, I remember

730
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: playing them, and I just remember them being a team

731
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: that was like willing to run down your throat and

732
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: punch them in the mouth. Like early so that just

733
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: shows that they have the ability to get to the

734
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: big game. And I feel like I'm that type of

735
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: player that can add to the defense and help them

736
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: get to where they want to go. And I mean,

737
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: I'm scited to play and play next to like next

738
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: to Miles Garrett and Grant Helping and those guys because

739
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: I've been watching a little bit of film and i

740
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: just feel like they're really good players that can and

741
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: help us win. And you're not a guy that was

742
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: a role player in case you were a starters and

743
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 1: you can obviously come in here and be a starter.

744
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: Just how would you describe yourself as a player? What

745
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: type of safety are you? Or you a ball hawk

746
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: or you physic or you a you know, a guy

747
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: that just gets up in guy's faces. Just how would

748
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: you describe yourself as a player. So I've always been

749
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: taught to be that guy to never allow a coach

750
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: to take you off the field. So I would see

751
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: my guy see me as being that guy that can

752
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: do everything. He can cover and be down in the box,

753
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: make plays, he can blitch, sack the quarterback. I want

754
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: to be that guy that can take control of a

755
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: game and go get the ball when it's in the

756
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: air and call his fumbles when it's that trying to

757
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: make that big play. It won't welcome to Cleveland having

758
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: been to the super Bowl all those times. Kind of

759
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: to piggyback off Chris's question earlier, but what do you

760
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: think is the most difficult part of getting to that

761
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: game or something people don't know about how hard it

762
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: is to get there. I mean, it's it's very hard, honestly.

763
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: You have to stay disciplined, like for the whole season.

764
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: As you see in the NFL. Some teams start fast

765
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: and finish slow. Some teams start slow and finish fast.

766
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: So it's all about just staying discipline and a gatto

767
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: multiple super Bowls, it's even harder once you win one.

768
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: You gotta target on your back each and every week

769
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: because everybody's trying to knock down the top door. So

770
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: it's definitely hard to get there. And then obviously you

771
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: were part of that that Kansas City team that broke

772
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: a pretty long drought for the Chiefs. You part of

773
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: that prey. Now you didn't play in that game, but

774
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: what was that like and can you imagine kind of

775
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: that here in Cleveland? Oh yeah, definitely like I said before,

776
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: like that all of the pieces of here got a

777
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: really good quarterback, receivers, the defense is super strong. I

778
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: feel like all of the pieces of here we have

779
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: that capability of getting there and making a splash in

780
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs and making it to the super Bowl. And

781
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: I have all confidence in that. Okay, one, welcome to Cleveland.

782
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: Nice to meet you. You just got here. But you know,

783
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: have you gotten any reaction about your arrival from some

784
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: of your new teammates? What does that look like for

785
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: you so far? I've talked to some of my teammates.

786
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: There's a couple of guys that are restyled. They seem

787
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: pretty pumped that I'm here, And that's pretty much it.

788
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: But I'm excited to give OTAs and get to know

789
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: the guys a lot more and to start working together

790
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: so we can work towards our dream and getting back

791
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: to that super Bowl. And you said you had talked

792
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: to Jim Schwartz. He kind of pumped you up. But

793
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: when you were looking at the Browns even before you signed,

794
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: do you see a part of your game that you

795
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: think is going to be able to really shine here

796
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: on this defense with the guys that are on this

797
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 1: roster I do. I definitely do. Like like I said,

798
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: with a coach Swarts, he just he drew up a

799
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: couple of plays on the board, and I just like

800
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: what he was drawing up. But I can see me

801
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: stepping in and playing a big role at helping his

802
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: team uh tremendously and making a lot of plays for

803
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: his team as well. Hey one, welcome. Just kind of

804
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: want to ask I sdal in a similar question yesterday.

805
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: But as you kind of come to a new team,

806
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: and especially for you, you know, with JJ three not

807
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: here anymore, he was kind of a big leader in

808
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: this secondary, So what's your leadership style? And especially when

809
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: you're coming to a new team and you're kind of

810
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: the new guy in that secondary, now, you know, you

811
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: always got to walk in and try to like figure

812
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,479
Speaker 1: out what it's gonna be like. So I'm not gonna

813
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: be that guy that's gonna step in and just try

814
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: to take over everything. I'm gonna figure out how to

815
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: figure out how things are gonna go. But I'm not

816
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: that type of guy that's going to just gonna be

817
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: on the field yelling at everyone telling him let's go

818
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: push yourself. And I'm not that type of guy. I'm

819
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: the one that's gonna lead by example, but if you're

820
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: not working hard, I will step up and say something.

821
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna be the guy's going to like

822
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: put you on blast in front of the whole team.

823
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: I'll come up to you personally, I'll let you know.

824
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: And then just just getting to Cleveland and getting in

825
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: the building for I assume your first day. Just what

826
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: has your first overall like impression been kind of a

827
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: broad question. I mean, it's amazing, Like I came here

828
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: not knowing what to expect, and I try to do

829
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: that everywhere I go, and definitely it has impressed me,

830
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: Like the facilities are truly amazing here. I got here

831
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: last night, actually, and the first thing I looked at

832
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: was downtown and it shocked me, Like it was really

833
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: beautiful and I wasn't expecting it. So I'm excited to

834
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: get here and actually be able to work my way

835
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: around and see what everything's like. YEA one. Obviously you're

836
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: confident in your new team and motivated to get back

837
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. But how hard is it leaven

838
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: a team that you had so much success with and

839
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: just one a super Bowl. I mean, it's it's really hard.

840
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: It's hard because you build those relationship ships with the

841
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room, and when you build those relationships,

842
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to leave. But it's sometimes it's part

843
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: of it's part of business. Some teams can bring you back,

844
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: and at the same time, you can see yourself fitting

845
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,919
Speaker 1: in in a different organization and helping them become way

846
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: better or making it to the super Bowl and adding

847
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: your your skill set to that defense and to make

848
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 1: us so much better. And I'm excited for that. Yeah.

849
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: One just wondering. So on the defensive side of the ball,

850
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: the Browns have added a lot of new players this

851
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: week in Dalvin and Oboe and you and a couple

852
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: of other guys. I'm wondering, do you feel like a

853
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: defense can change from a culture standpoint overnight? And if so,

854
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: what's it going to take? It? Definitely can, um it can.

855
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: It can change in a better way and also can

856
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: go downhill as well. If you add bad pieces to

857
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: a defense and bad people to a defense, you can

858
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: bring in cancer into the locker room, and that's not

859
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: something that you want. But if you bring in good

860
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: people into an organization and bring him into the defense,

861
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: you can have those guys that can motivate each other

862
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: to push each other to get better each and every week.

863
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 1: And do you feel like that's that's what you're feeling here?

864
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: Is at the vibe that you're getting that there's like

865
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: an infusion of some new energy and some really good guys.

866
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: I definitely do. I think the guys that were here

867
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: as well, they can feel it like they've rest out

868
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: and was welcoming to be here, and that that just

869
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: shows that the guys are excited for this season and

870
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: they care about who actually comes into his locker room.

871
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: The one I wanted to ask about the other AFC

872
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: North quarterbacks. Obviously you've had a couple of battles with

873
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. How you get Lamar Jackson twice a year,

874
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: and then of course the Steelers have Kenny Pickett. So

875
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: just if you could you your thoughts on coming into

876
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: a very highly competitive division with some really really good quarterbacks.

877
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's gonna be hard each and every week.

878
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 1: I've had the chance to play against I think Lamar

879
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: a couple of times, so I kind of know what

880
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: his game is like. Played against Joe Burrow a couple

881
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: of times, so I know what he likes to do

882
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: as well. The only one that I haven't had a

883
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: chance to play against is Kenny Pickett. But the thing is,

884
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: like I've heard a lot of good things about him

885
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: as well. It's gonna take hard work and dedication each

886
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: and every week because these guys they have the capability

887
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 1: to erect games. They have great arms, and with Lamar Jackson,

888
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: if you look at him, the guy can throw the

889
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: ball and run as well, so he can beat you

890
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: by himself. It's gonna be hard each and a week,

891
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: and you gotta prepare as if like each week is

892
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. And I know you were asked about

893
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: leadership earlier and coming in and trying to be one

894
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: of those focal leaders on the field and in the

895
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 1: locker room. One of the issues the Browns had last

896
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: year was community communication on the field in games. Just

897
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: how what can you do maybe to be that guy

898
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: to settle that down and just make sure everybody's where

899
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be doing what they're supposed to do

900
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: without it, you know, becoming like you're out there trying

901
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: to take things over, if you know what I'm saying.

902
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: And in the NFL, like this game is all about

903
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: who makes the these amount of mistakes. And if you're

904
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: on a filmmaking mistakes, that's gonna cause you to lose

905
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: football games. And one thing that I'm gonna I know

906
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna do, I'm gonna try to bring everybody

907
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: together to make sure we're all on the same page.

908
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: And that's simply by just like hanging out in the

909
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: locker room or going out to dinner together, like doing

910
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: things like that. That just built that bond. And you

911
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: will know what your teammates are capable of. You know

912
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: their strength and weaknesses. So when you come together like that,

913
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: it just allows you to play so much better. I

914
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: was wondering for you, what does it look like to

915
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: get integrated with that teammates? Ideally this early you just

916
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: got here, you're getting a lay of the landing a

917
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: like for Cleveland, But what does it look like early

918
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: on and of getting that chemistry going so you're ready

919
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: to go? So with me, I'm just gonna, like I said,

920
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take it slow. I'm not gonna get

921
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 1: in and just like put my foot down and try

922
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: to like make make it my way. But what I'm

923
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: gonna do is just like just try to get to

924
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: know my teammates a little bit more, like know things

925
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: that they like to do, like outside of football, and

926
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: so we can get together outside of football and just

927
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: like come together and build that brotherhood. That's gonna allow

928
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: us to play better, like I said before, and that's

929
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: gonna make us more lead than any X and os.

930
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: You could study football all day, but if you don't

931
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: know what your what your teammates strength and weaknesses are,

932
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be good. So that's that's my main

933
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: goal is just to get to know my teammates, all right.

934
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll take

935
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: a look at the free agency through the eyes of

936
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: others or the Browns winners or losers. We will get

937

945
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: what are we sometimes my days run together. Are we

946
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: two weeks into this or a week into this? One

947
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: week's done? It feels like two, doesn't it. Yes? In

948
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: many ways, Yeah, it feels like two. There was so

949
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: much last week and then we're still sitting on those

950
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. It doesn't seem like the Jets and Packers

951
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: are anywhere closer to a deal there. And I've heard

952
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:37,399
Speaker 1: nothing on Watts. On Lamar Jackson. No, well, he's gonna

953
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: do his own interview. He's interviewing himself. He's come again.

954
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: He's interviewing himself on his YouTube channel, I think or

955
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: his Instagram. He teaches us at the end of last week,

956
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: all right, missed that an exclusive where he's gonna Lamar knows, Lamar,

957
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's really interviewed. He said, it's

958
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: an exclusive, my exclusive interview with myself. One of the

959
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: great book Bono's Bow by Dick Schapp. Yeah, well, it's

960
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: like Austin powers allow myself to introduce, to introduce myself.

961
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: Trying to get my kids to watch that, and they

962
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: are like yeah, come on, I was like, just trust me,

963
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:15,879
Speaker 1: you will. Like I didn't. They want to see it.

964
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: They didn't think it looked that funny. The trailer was good,

965
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: not great. I will say, do you think we just

966
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: had so much institutional knowledge of Mike Myers that you

967
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: just do almost anything that he was going to do?

968
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: And also they probably have no Bond references, so like

969
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: all of them Skyfall, but Bond was different. That's the

970
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: other part of it. Bond was campy. Then Bond isn't campying.

971
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: He's Jason Bourne right now, I'm talking Sean Connery. Oh,

972
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: Roger Moore. Roger Moore was my guy. Was the names

973
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 1: were outrageous. Yes, yeah, yeah, um so yeah, maybe I

974
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,439
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it would hold up just fine.

975
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: I know it would. Yeah, I feel like it's going

976
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: to be a win. It's also one of those ones

977
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: that's not that's very rarely on never I never see it.

978
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: Gold Member is unbelievably rewatchable. All three of them are.

979
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: The one with Heather Graham's incredible with that's the second

980
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: when they're in England. Yeah, that's the second. He goes

981
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: back to the sixties. Yeah, that's unbelievable. The first one's

982
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Hurley, right, yeah, international man mystry. Then there's the

983
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: spy who shagged me. Right, they're all they're all great,

984
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: they're great. It's always like, yeah we have we'll have

985
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: three movies that you're gonna laugh. Yeah, we're really in

986
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: with the kids. Into Mandalorian right now. Season three, Mandalaurian

987
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: came back. Good. Yeah, we watched the first one. I

988
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: gotta bring him back into the second um all right,

989
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: free agency grades and ranking, so he's going to allow

990
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: himself to introduce himself. So that'll be fun to see

991
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,919
Speaker 1: how that goes. Due you break win before me. Sorry, baby,

992
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: didn't know it was your turn. So good, so good.

993
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: This from CBS Sports twenty twenty three NFL free agency

994
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: team by team grades. The Cowboys earn an A, while

995
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,280
Speaker 1: the Bears, Eagle, Seahawks are among the winners as well.

996
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: In our division, the Ravens getting a D grade. These

997
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: are very incomplete because obviously free agency isn't done. Bengals

998
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: getting a B plus, Steelers getting a B plus, and

999
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: we got a B from CBS. All right, so here's

1000
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: this is the CBS one. Then we're gonna get into

1001
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: the sporting News. So here's what CBS had to say

1002
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. You mentioned the d Key additions. They

1003
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 1: are Ravens right now are one of the few teams

1004
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: that have signed Nobody Key resignings. Trayvon Mullen, Justice Hill, Genostone,

1005
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: Justice Hill. Obviously, Lamar Jackson is there. We'll see what

1006
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: happens with the Ravens. As for us, the Cleveland Browns.

1007
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: B Clowney waiting his way through the waters free, it

1008
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: was important for Cleveland to find a new pass rusher.

1009
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: They did that with Oboe solid Ad at a good price.

1010
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: Brown's defensive line retoiling didn't stop there. They got Dalvin

1011
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: Tomlinson two signs. Could Cleveland be a force upfront critical

1012
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: individual with Joe Burham most likely? Lamar Jackson still adding

1013
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: chief safety on Thornhill fills the whole left by the

1014
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: release of John Johnson, nicely, is what he has to

1015
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: say there. Well, but he's not It's not even that though,

1016
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: because he's he's not what John Johnson was. I mean

1017
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. Yeah, John, we love John,

1018
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: I loved him. Yeah, all right. Cincinnati obviously he had

1019
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown. They get Cody Ford as they continue to

1020
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: retool that line. Um, that's what they're that's what they're doing.

1021
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: Kept one of their leaders, and Jermaine Prattick fan a

1022
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: CBD favorite. But as he says that now the real

1023
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: world begins figuring how to extend, borrow Jamar Chase and

1024
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: t they knew they were losing baits. I think they

1025
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: were surprised that they would. They were. They would have

1026
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: loved have had Bell back at the right price. They

1027
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: would have loved to have Hurst. I think Hurst is

1028
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: the one that they were they thought they'd be able

1029
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: to keep. Yeah, they couldn't. So the Steelers they're big signings.

1030
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: They get Pat Pete, they get two guards, Isaac Simalo

1031
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: from the Eagles, Nate Herbig from the Jets. They get

1032
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: a linebacker in Cole Holkom. They did lose Cam Sutton,

1033
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 1: but Pat Peterson pretty good. They got a couple as much,

1034
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 1: a couple of guards as well, So we'll see there.

1035
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: The Sporting News one is actually a little bit of

1036
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: a better I would say it's a better article because

1037
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: it tells you who they signed, who they resigned, and

1038
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: who they lost, all in one place, which I find

1039
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: to be very very useful. So the Sporting News NFL

1040
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 1: free agency grades, ranking signings, trades, all thirty two teams

1041
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 1: best to worst, the Bears the best and the worst

1042
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: the Packers. Where that stands our division. They like a

1043
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: lot with the exceptor of the Ravens. So for us, again,

1044
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,760
Speaker 1: he says, Brown's cleaning up the roster well of pieces

1045
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: they didn't need any more. Kept two key players Thomlinson,

1046
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: Oko Ronquo and Thornhill are three new stars so I

1047
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: can have a significant impact on the defense. And they

1048
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: kept post A Kentacky Tacky the Bengals. Here's the thing

1049
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 1: with the Bengals. So they get Brown, they get Forward.

1050
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,959
Speaker 1: But Jesse Bates, Von Bell, somagp Ryan Haydenhurst, and Eli

1051
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: Apple were all five major contributors for them a year ago,

1052
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: and they think they were prepared for Bates by the

1053
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: drafting of Dax Hill. I think they're fine. With Eli Apple,

1054
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: he ended up being more of a pain in the

1055
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: neck than he was worth by the end. Bell, I

1056
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: think s started for them. He did three of their

1057
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: I think five dbs. I think they're fine. I think

1058
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: they're relative okay with that one. The Bell one, like

1059
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned, is one where they thought that there was

1060
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: a madle ground there. Yeah, but they wouldn't go over

1061
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: their price, and Hurst was surprising for them, yep him.

1062
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: Steelers again upgraded the offensive line Kieth Larry Ogan Joby.

1063
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: They lose Cam Sutton but replaced them with Pat Pete.

1064
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: They like that. And then you got to go to

1065
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: thirty one for the Ravens again, they haven't signed to anybody.

1066
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: They resigned trayvon Mullen just till Geno Stone. They've lost

1067
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: class Campbell tight and Josh Oliver Gardman Powers who was

1068
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 1: good as well as a backup center. So their whole

1069
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: thing is all about obviously Lamar Jackson there. But I

1070
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: think the Browns look we address You can't address everything

1071
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: in free agency. I know everybody wants to. I still

1072
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: think they did a very good job on the defensive

1073
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 1: side of the ball. We're still missing that, you know,

1074
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: that receiver piece, which again we've talked about, is a

1075
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: luxury piece. I will remind people which a Kobe were

1076
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: said as our quarterback and the current receivers and running

1077
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: backs and tight ends that we have. We were a

1078
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,959
Speaker 1: top ten offense in the NFL through eleven games, top ten,

1079
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: so we should be even better with Deshaun Watson just

1080
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: right off the out of the gate, But you want

1081
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: to have more weapons. I think there's all right. I

1082
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: just wanted to double check to make sure I'm comfortable

1083
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: saying this in terms of drastically changing the direction of

1084
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: a franchise. Ye, the Bears off season does that, provided

1085
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: Fields takes the appropriate steps. But they went from a

1086
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: team pretty void of talent to one that has a

1087
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: lot that's in a really advantageous position drafting for the

1088
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: next couple of years, so I think, but not to

1089
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: the point of contender. The Jets are incomplete. I mean

1090
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: they put key additions trade pending Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers

1091
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: wants to play for the Jets. They want him to

1092
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: play there. The Packers are under no duty to acquiesce

1093
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: that in any way, and if they don't, they absolutely

1094
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: don't even have a quarterback. It would be Zach Wilson. Ye.

1095
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: At this point, the Jets have done nothing that would

1096
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: change the trajectory of them. I honestly think there's only

1097
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: one team that's like went from that has a dramatically

1098
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 1: different standing like all this time on free agency. The

1099
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions are the only team to me that I

1100
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: look at and go, Okay, that team just missed the

1101
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,240
Speaker 1: playoffs and now they might look to be a first

1102
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: round home field Yeah, win the division. Yes, yes, agreed.

1103
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,919
Speaker 1: I mean the rest of these teams that are high

1104
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: grade teams, they're not changing the trajectory of a franchise

1105
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: to the point where it changes their standing. If there's

1106
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: a pecking order in the league of like contender, playoff team,

1107
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: chasing the playoffs, non contender, road to nowhere, tanking, if

1108
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: you want to go those five categories, the Lions are

1109
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: the only one that have changed their spot. Yeah, so

1110
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: this bright, this would be a potential playoff because it's

1111
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: the NFC, right yeah, and with the Bears to your point,

1112
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Lions boom to the moon there,

1113
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: I think division favorites. Yeah, I agree for that. No

1114
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: one's really changed their standing. I would say that if

1115
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: you're a if you were somebody who was a believer

1116
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: in Dan Dimes, you would say that the Giants have improved,

1117
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: They're they're standing a little bit for him with Waller

1118
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: and Paris Campbell, right, yeah, and he keep Sayquon Barkley,

1119
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: you keep Dan Dimes. He keep slat and you keep

1120
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd, and but they are still I would imagine

1121
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: on paper the third in their division at best. Yeah,

1122
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: because one of the other teams that kind of held

1123
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: form so far more than people thought is the Eagles, right,

1124
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean the runner at Bradberry, Graham, Slay, Fletcher, Cox, Kelsey,

1125
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: all those guys came back, yep, and they thought that

1126
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: maybe they'd lose some of them, and they didn't. They

1127
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: end up losing Johncey Gardner, Johnson. Yeah, that's our grave. Yeah,

1128
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: so there's everybody else in here. To me, it looks

1129
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: like they kind of either status quo. Obviously we would

1130
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,959
Speaker 1: be one who have changed archerjectory, but that's more tied

1131
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: to Watson playing a full year than anything else. So yeah,

1132
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: mean since then, he's gotten better on the offense by

1133
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: adding what they had to do the offensive line. But

1134
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: they get they get some things they got to sort

1135
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: out too. Yeah, it just wasn't from a free agency standpoint,

1136
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: They're just weren't those game changing players dealt correct? Like Car.

1137
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: I guess Car to the Saints. They went from a

1138
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, non playoff team to what feels like a

1139
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: playoff team with Car, so I guess that changes a

1140
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: little bit. But again it's only because of where it's

1141
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: only are because of where they play. So it's where

1142
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: they are. Yeah, I mean they're the favorite in that division. Yes,

1143
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean the NFC. You have a team in the

1144
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: Saints that is going to be the favorite in the

1145
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: NFC South. The Lines are most likely gonna be the

1146
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: favorite in the NFC North, and then the Eagles and

1147
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: the Niners. But now the Lions. I wouldn't count that

1148
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 1: team out. But it feels like your NFC champion adds

1149
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: up today is only coming out of either the West

1150
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: or the or the East. I would say that it

1151
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: feels right now like it's only coming out of Philadelphia

1152
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: or San Francisco. Fine, yes, also true, bore it down

1153
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: even tighter. I mean it's kind of just like the

1154
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys are always good, it's just they never get can't

1155
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: do anything, man. Yeah, I like the Cook's Edition for them.

1156
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that helps them, but they still

1157
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: have to there's still a step that they have to take.

1158
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: And then the other the NFC West just fell off

1159
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: a cliff. Yeah, you know, all those teams kind of

1160
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: evaporated a little bit. So yeah, I think it's Philly

1161
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: or San Francisco. And if the other thing is if

1162
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: the Saints the Lions, if those teams are in the AFC,

1163
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:32,439
Speaker 1: they wouldn't sniff it. Lions would be intriguing. Would now

1164
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: they would be like the twelfth team in this Pittsburg

1165
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: or somebody in that mix. Yeah, they probably believe as

1166
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: much as we do. Is that just fight? I don't know,

1167
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: we haven't proved any Yeah. I think that there's is

1168
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: and I'd like off a lot. I just think that

1169
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: there's still kind of a only so far sure thing

1170
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: here with him. So that's that's where you stand on that.

1171
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: But high praise from what we've done to this point

1207
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Virginia Virginia UNBC so three years ago. Virginia has been

1208
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: eliminated the first round of the tournament three out of

1209
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: the last four years they've been in it, and the

1210
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: one time that they didn't, they won the whole damn thing.

1211
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: That's right, So that's forgive them. They got bounced h

1212
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: last weekend. Well, yeah, the here's what what's interesting about

1213
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: fairleyeh Dickinson, other than the fact that the second sixteen one,

1214
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: which has more to do with the parodying college basketball

1215
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: than anything. I mean, a sixteen one used to be.

1216
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: That's thirty. There was one who got close. Somebody got

1217
01:02:55,360 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: close with Georgetown. His Princeton got close with George Town,

1218
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: like with Alonzo Mourning like, but it almost never used

1219
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: to be thirty point blowout, eight fifty two. Yeah, yeah, blowouts,

1220
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: And like the spreads were in the high twenties. Now

1221
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 1: they're consistently close and you've had two of them now

1222
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: because of the parody. Here's another thing about FAIRLEYE. Dickinson.

1223
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: They did not even win their conference tournament, so Merrimac

1224
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: won the conference tournament. Merriment cannot play in the NCAA

1225
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: tournament because they're moved up from one D two to

1226
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: D one and so the nc DOABLEA makes you play

1227
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: like probation before you can play up, which is so stupid,

1228
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: like they do it so you can't go from D

1229
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: one to D two and dominate. But they should easily

1230
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: just say well, if you go up from D two

1231
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: to D one, play right away quarter that should be

1232
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: of course. Yeah, there is no gray in the NCABLEA.

1233
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: I also feel like it's funny because there's so much

1234
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: more three point shooting, you would think that maybe scoring

1235
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: would be up. It just feels to me like watching

1236
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: these games, like it's much harder for people to score

1237
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: the basketball than than it used to be. Well, as

1238
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: a get off my long guy, But to your point,

1239
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: used to be games in the eighties. Yes, so you

1240
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the skill level isn't being developed the way

1241
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,919
Speaker 1: that it is. More kids are going one and done

1242
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: and they're gone, and so they don't have skills. So

1243
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 1: they're going to the pros and honestly takes them a

1244
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: while to get it going in the pros. So that's

1245
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: a big part of it, I think. And you'd have

1246
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: real teams, players that had played together for three years.

1247
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: There were a lot of games wrecking people. Yeah, and

1248
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: that's that's just not there anymore. So you like it wild.

1249
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: I know that you can't do this and it's such

1250
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: a get off my land thing, but I will say

1251
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: that my knowledge of college basketball is significantly better from

1252
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 1: twenty plus years ago than it is today. Yeah, but

1253
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: it feels like, even in the brief bit of this

1254
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:39,919
Speaker 1: tournament that I watched, that you could take like one

1255
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: through four seeds of those old tournaments would mop the

1256
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: floor with these teams. I don't think that that's wrong.

1257
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. Yeah. I think the biggest mistake

1258
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: the NBA ever made is one that the NFL didn't make,

1259
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: and the NFL stuck together and fought and it worked

1260
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: for them. The NBA should have gone with a three

1261
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: in three and three rule three years aboot from high

1262
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 1: school before you can enter our league, and they didn't

1263
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: want to. The Players Association fought it there. The reason

1264
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: they fought it was the notion of the sooner you

1265
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: get done with the first contract, the quicker you get

1266
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: the second. But what it's caused is a watered down

1267
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: league where you're having nineteen year old kids who are

1268
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: trying figure out how to play in the league. They're

1269
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: not ready made stars when they come in the way

1270
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: that you think of the kids, you think about c. J. Stroud,

1271
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, what they're getting. Think what we got in

1272
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: Johnny or Baker. When they came in the door, like

1273
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 1: they were ready made. They everybody knew them, they were

1274
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: they were household names. That doesn't happen anymore. And for

1275
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: every Lebron or Kobe, oh God or a Garnett, Yeah

1276
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: that's a thing. Who's there hasn't even who's been the

1277
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: best like one and done. Has there been anybody that's

1278
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 1: been on that level on that level? Yeah, I mean

1279
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: the best young players now, most of the best young

1280
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: players in the league now are Euros, So it goes

1281
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 1: to he goes Kenn of course continues to that point

1282
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: in terms of the way they're being taught in the

1283
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: way that they're playing. This brings back to the AA

1284
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: you talk from the beginning of the show where isolation,

1285
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: one on one zone defense is all these things that

1286
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: are taught in AU doesn't translate into team basketball. And

1287
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: so you you're not as you're not as smart a

1288
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: player as you were, right, Um, yeah, it's it's hard.

1289
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: There's no question it's harmed the game. And it would

1290
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: the NBA would benefit a thousandfold from making kids be

1291
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: three years removed from their eighteenth birth to your men,

1292
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: men and stars well known. Oh my god, I can't

1293
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: wait to see this guy get into the NBA. And

1294
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: you'd have awesome teams again in college. That's the thing

1295
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: that's hard for me is this tournament is more wide

1296
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: open than ever and it's i'med somebody who admittedly has

1297
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: not watched a lot of college basketball, but I saw

1298
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: all I needed to see when we went to that

1299
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: game at Butler and you told me that was the

1300
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: number sixth team in the country, right, And I'm like,

1301
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: that team would have gotten smoked yeah, years ago, Oh,

1302
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even have been top twenty five team. Probably

1303
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: not even even ten years ago. They probably would have

1304
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 1: gotten smoked by like, you know, like that Florida team

1305
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 1: that won back to back titles with Noah and those guys. Like, yeah,

1306
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's this, it has it's receded a little bit.

1307
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: And the other thing is is if you look at

1308
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: an NBA mock draft, even like there's four or five

1309
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: kids this women Yama kids is going to go number one,

1310
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: the kid from France, But then there's four or five

1311
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: kids in the top seven that are all kids that

1312
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: are playing like G League unite, like these G League teams,

1313
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: because you can make money doing that now make a

1314
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 1: couple hundred thousand dollars, So they're doing that instead of

1315
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: going to college. So hopefully with college with nil And

1316
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 1: then I don't know what's going to happen with the

1317
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: age requirement in the NBA. I think they benefit from

1318
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: a twenty year old age requirement at least, not just

1319
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: from not just from a basketball standpoint, but from like

1320
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: an adult mentality. Yeah, like being able to manage your

1321
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: money and being able to manage your life. Yeah, who's

1322
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: doing that? Really well at age nineteen. No, you're not.

1323
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: It's a lot kids got potential. She's got some work

1324
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: to do and she's walking watching buds at buddy next week.

1325
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Oh really Yeah, it's doggie, Doggie sitting in the budsy

1326
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: next week. Oh boy, So that's big, big work. That

1327
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: is big work. They were not getting rupped into coming

1328
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: over to Hell. Her mother can go ome. Yeah, he's good,

1329
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: he's staying. It's just wild though that I mean, you're

1330
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Sweet sixteen matchups and not that

1331
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: there were always upsets and you might get us Cinderella

1332
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: or two in the older days of the tournament, like

1333
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: it was gonna be majority made up of one, two,

1334
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 1: threes and fours, and you'd have Well that you would

1335
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: see would be a six like Kansas and eighty eight

1336
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 1: that had Danny Manning, who was the National Player of

1337
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: the year. You weren't going to have. You would never

1338
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: have Princeton like they are in the Sweet sixteen, like

1339
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: they could win around like they did in ninety ninety

1340
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 1: six and they beat UCLA US. He was a financial champion.

1341
01:08:55,160 --> 01:09:00,560
Speaker 1: They backdoored him to one forty eight or something like that. Actually,

1342
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: think Edwards already gone, was ed gone, Charles Ovan and

1343
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 1: Toby Bailey. Um Kill was the head coach like Henry

1344
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 1: j R. Henderson p Kill because year before it was

1345
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: what tis Edney, Yeah, Tias and yeah. But listen to

1346
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: the seeds. Seven verses three Michigan State, Kansas State, eight

1347
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 1: verses four Arkansas Yukon. That's a that's in one region.

1348
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 1: Nine verses for Florida Atlantic, Tennessee ye three two chok

1349
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: Gonzaga Ucla, which is probably the best game that should

1350
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 1: be a final It feels like a final four game

1351
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 1: those two tea Alabama won San Diego State five five

1352
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: Miami one, Houston fifteen Princeton against six Craton three, Xavier

1353
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 1: two Texas. So there's only two chot games out of

1354
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: the entire possible. Two ones are gone out of the weekend.

1355
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 1: It's the six straight year the defending national champion hasn't

1356
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: gotten out of the first weekend. We've had. We had

1357
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: a fifteen in the sweet sixteen, a sixteen win. Again,

1358
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: that just isn't that much difference. And the other thing

1359
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: is is that a lot of these small schools they've

1360
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: played together a bunch or they're like Kansas State, which

1361
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: is just dude transfers like, that's what they have. So

1362

Speaker 1: there's two ones and two two's gone. Yeah yeah you're wildcats.

Speaker 1: than Arizona If you don't make the Sweet sixteens anymore?

1365
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 1: Talking about it's pretty crazy. You know who's coaching Xavier,

1366
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Sean Miller. I know he's back at Xavier and he's

1390
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: the fact that the best game on Thursday night tips

1391
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 1: at nine fifty if that's if everyone's back Gonzaga Ucla,

1392
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: Gonzaga Ucla. Oh god, so they're probably opening I bet

01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: with mission in State is at the first game Michigan

1394
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,519

1395
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 1: Arkansas Yukons at seven fifteen for the West region, and

1396
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: then game two out of the West is Gonzaga Ucla

1397
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: nine minutes after. You know that's gonna get a tiptal ten. No,

1398
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 1: especially why these games. Yeah, he's making that though nobody

1399
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 1: on the East coast Um. Here's the final call from

1400
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: Princeton's upset over Missouri to send him to the Sweet

1401
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 1: sixteen on Westwood one. Two down to one. This one

1402
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:35,719
Speaker 1: is over. It's official. It is history for the Princeton Tigers.

1403
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: For the first time in school history. Princeton is going

1404
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 1: to the Sweet sixteen, just the fourth fifteen seed ever

1405
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:46,640
Speaker 1: in the history of the tournament to advance to the

1406
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 1: round of sixteen. Pretty good, it is really good. Yeah,

1407
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: this is This is Creighton after hitting a couple of

1408
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: threes back to back as they beat Baylor seventy seven

1409
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: to fifty in this on Westwood one. And if they

1410
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: win this game, up next would be Princeton, the fifteen

1411
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,640
Speaker 1: seed in the South Region in Louisville. Right corner in

1412
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: the front corner, fairbell pits of three and the lead

1413
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: is back to fifteen. Was six minutes to go, seventy

1414
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:15,680
Speaker 1: four fifty nine Brayton, I'm not sure he's been this

1415
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: hot all season and Flaglar loses it, slips out of it,

1416
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 1: out of his hands. Another mental error. Turnover. Now them

1417
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: hard for three. Left wing might be the dagger. Yeah,

1418
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: there's five and fifty left, but trading is failing. It.

1419
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 1: The lead is seventy seven to fifty nine. If I'll

1420
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: tell you it wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing. There's a

1421
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: lot of games that were tight. That one particularly wasn't,

1422
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: but a lot of tight games down the stretch with

1423
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 1: your fish, which was fun. Fun. Last one this is Arkansas,

1424
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 1: the eight seed with the number one recruiting class in

1425
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: the country, mind you, upsetting at number one Kansas in

1426
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 1: the second round on Westwood One on Saturday. Wilson one dribble,

1427
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: he fired, and he baked it in though he didn't

1428
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 1: want to. Inbound pass comes to Arkansas, bouts to Black

1429
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: no foul, and Arkansas survives. But defending champs do not.

1430
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: Seventy two seventy one. They'll be calling the Hawks all night.

1431
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: In des Moine, the eighth seed knocks out the returning

1432
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 1: champion Shayhawks. There you go, no Bill self. Musselman took

1433
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:31,679
Speaker 1: his shirt off dance afterward with not really sure what's

1434
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: going on there? But do you know who? Musselman's married too?

1435
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: So I kept seeing her, but I was watching it

1436
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 1: in a bar and there was no audio, so I'm like,

1437
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I should know who

1438
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: she is So. Do you remember she was a sports

1439
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 1: center anchor named Danielle Sargeant who then went to Fox

1440
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 1: Sports when they were doing like Fox Sports was trying

1441
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,719
Speaker 1: to do like Sports Center at that time. She's most

1442
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:59,600
Speaker 1: famous for dropping an fbomb on Sports Center. Oh do

1443
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: you like, right when things were going viral, things first

1444
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: started to go viral, she was like, somebody screwed up

1445
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:09,759
Speaker 1: a graphic and she dropped an fbomb on Sports Center

1446
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,679
Speaker 1: and oh, man, yeah, that's his wife. Um, but yeah,

1447
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: like I selling that to beemsy. I made all the

1448
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:17,720
Speaker 1: boys picked blue bloods. I've told you guys before, so

1449
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: he loves Kansas And I said, uh, I go, dude,

1450
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling you Arkansas a full day dad. They're an

1451
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 1: eight seed World one, blah blah blah. I'm like, I'm

1452
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: telling you, buddy, like they've got the number one recruiting

1453
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: class in the country. They've been the elite eighth the

1454
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: last two years. They're full day. Man, they're full day

1455
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 1: Kansas up ten and then blew it in the second

1456
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: half of that one. But it was fun. But you're right,

1457
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 1: from here on out, it's gonna be it's gonna be dicey.

1458
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: They need if you're if you're a CBS turner executive,

1459
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 1: you need to have a little bit of chalk prevail.

1460
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:51,879
Speaker 1: You need a Michigan State or Tennessee. You need UCLA

1461
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: or Gonzaga. Both of those would work, but those one

1462
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 1: of those, you're losing one of those you are. You

1463
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:00,760
Speaker 1: need Houston, You need Bama. Honestly, as much as nobody

1464
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:02,600
Speaker 1: wants to deal with the rest of the story with Alabama,

1465
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 1: Alabama's road to the Final four will be so they

1466
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: play San Diego State. If they win, they got Princeton,

1467
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 1: So their path would be San Diego State, Creton or Princeton.

1468
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: And then if they get to some of the final four,

1469
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: it's either Tennessee, Michigan State. Um, it'd likely be one

1470
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 1: of those two. Yeah, Tennessee, Michigan State, Kansas State, Okay

1471
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,680
Speaker 1: State could do it. But either way, like that's it

1472
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: to get to the National Championship Game. That's pretty that's

1473
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 1: a pretty easy path. I liked your duke. He's a

1474
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 1: lot coming into it too. So I had the rezation

1475
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 1: with with Connor about this. Here's the problem. Good team,

1476
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:43,719
Speaker 1: not a great team. I think they used up everything

1477
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: to win the ACCA. And I also would say like,

1478
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 1: that's why Michigan State's had success. They got bounced early.

1479
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,599
Speaker 1: You have a week to think about what went down.

1480
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: You know you're a better team than that. You come

1481
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: out with a little chip on your shoulder. Big Ten

1482
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: is not one an NCAA tournaments since Michigan State in

1483
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: one or ninety two. The team cleaves in those guys

1484
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and two thousand and one whenever that was

1485
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: so two things from the Big Ten perspective. Number one,

1486
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,000
Speaker 1: the way the league has officiated hampers it. In March.

1487
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: They allow for a lot of chunky play that when

1488
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 1: you get to March isn't allowed. If you've watched the

1489
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,479
Speaker 1: Purdue game, you could actually hear the referee yelling to

1490
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 1: Zeki to get out of the key, get out, get out,

1491
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: get out. In the Big Ten, they let him camp

1492
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 1: and he killed them in the camping out. So I

1493
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:31,640
Speaker 1: think that's the first thing. And the second thing is

1494
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: is the Big Ten there aren't there many pros, not studs.

1495
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,839
Speaker 1: There's a lot of pros, but there aren't NBA stars

1496
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 1: that come out of it that league the way that

1497
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 1: there used to be thirty years ago. Some of that's

1498
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: population shifts, some of that's missus in recruiting. But they

1499
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 1: just don't have you know, they don't have a laundry

1500
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:50,720
Speaker 1: list of those guys. When people say, oh, are you

1501
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 1: shocked about Purdue, No, I'm not. I didn't think they

1502
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 1: I thought they'd lose. I didn't think they get to

1503
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen anyway, let alone thinking they'd go any further

1504
01:17:58,240 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: than that. If they were going to go, they should

1505
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 1: have went last. They had Jade n Ivey. They lost

1506
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: to Saint Peter's. Man, that's what happens. Yeah, it's crazy.

1507
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 1: It's a crazy sport at the moment, to say the

1508
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 1: least strange. Yeah, it's it's it's not great. What's happened

1509
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 1: to it? No, And I got like you said, I

1510
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 1: feel like the numbers are going to bear this out,

1511
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:19,559
Speaker 1: that the TV ratings are just this weekend's gonna be tough.

1512
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 1: You know. It's funny though, Like I was saying, it's

1513
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: all anyone was talking about. Everywhere I went. It was

1514
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: on NonStop. I think people love the brackets so much too,

1515
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: Like they're so into how's my bracket, how's your Like

1516
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: one of one of my boys is like, oh, my brackets,

1517
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: I said, dude, everybody's is my bracket is busted. No

1518
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: one's gonna No one's got a bracket, man, Like, there's

1519
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: no brackets left. It's over. It's at Arizona Kansas in

1520
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 1: the finals. Yeah, hey do U c l a duke?

1521
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:50,800
Speaker 1: So you still in the mix ula? But that's it.

1522
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's hard, it's rough. Yeah, I have

1523
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 1: six of I only have six of sixteen Sweet sixteen teams.

1524
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: I've never done that poorly. Ever, I don't know how

1525
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 1: many I have. I'd have to I'll look, yeah, probably

1526
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: not many. By not many. You know, you weren't you

1527
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 1: weren't projecting a lot of this stuff? Well I didn't.

1528
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: I how could anybody basing it on nothing? Well you're banking,

1529
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: you're basing on historical you know, knowledge of programs and

1530
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 1: who you think is good and who's not. I mean

1531
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,600
Speaker 1: and X right there, like what they used to be

1532
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:21,719
Speaker 1: and kind of having a feel for it. But nobody

1533
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 1: knows anything. Nobody had Creighton Princeton playing right. So have

1534
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 1: you seen the picture rolling around? And I just brought

1535
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 1: it up because I'm trying to figure out legit or

1536
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 1: not legit. The Fairley Dickinson, Director of Media relations. Have

1537
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 1: you seen this? Yeah, it's like he's a kid, he's

1538
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:44,680
Speaker 1: twenty four, he's yeah, he's a junior at the university.

1539
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: Well he looks. It doesn't surprise me too much in that,

1540
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: Like what's their athletic budget. It's a great question. I

1541
01:19:56,400 --> 01:20:01,640
Speaker 1: mean it should grow now. Well yeah, if if you

1542
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: have not seen him at first, I thought it was

1543
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 1: a joke at first, I'm like, this is someone's kid

1544
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 1: at their scoring table, and like this is this is

1545
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 1: not but it is true. Yeah, And again it speaks

1546
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 1: to the idea. I guess that's the beauty of it.

1547
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: If we take away the bad ball and some of

1548
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 1: the other things, it's not as great as it used

1549
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: to be. The idea that a school like Fairleigh Dickinson,

1550
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: whose athletic budget has a junior operating their sports information

1551
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: department versus Perdue, which makes ninety million a year in TV,

1552
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 1: just because they're associated with Ohio State in football. It's

1553
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: crazy that those two things are competing and they they

1554
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: have nothing in common. Apples and tacas. I've got eight

1555
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: of the Sweet sixteen, could yea aut you? I've got

1556
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:56,679
Speaker 1: Alabama yep, and then pretty rough City for a while

1557
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: there and the rest of that. I've got Kansas State.

1558
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 1: Could you have you you picked him over Kentucky I've

1559
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 1: got I didn't. I've got Houston and Miami. Wow, I've

1560
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: got Xavier and Texas. So I was pretty good in

1561
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: the Midwest. That's crazy. You have the whole, that whole bracket.

1562
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 1: Then yeah, and then I've got Gonzaga Ucla. Yeah, stupid.

1563
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: Larenega couldn't win anything about Saint Mary's season. He takes

1564
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 1: Miami every year to Jim Larenega was at Bowling Green,

1565
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: come on, really, and then he went from there to

1566
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 1: George Mason. Yep, Doc Gets replaced him after my sophomore year.

1567
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 1: I'll be damned. I didn't know that. I don't know

1568
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:37,640
Speaker 1: he was there. I was disappointed. Kent State played the

1569
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 1: way they played. I thought they'd played. I thought they

1570
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 1: could get Indiana, but they didn't play well. I think

1571
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 1: they should have. They just they offensively. They could never

1572
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: seem to get going. Yeah, and they couldn't deal with

1573
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 1: it Indiana's size really, to be honest, somebody texted me

1574
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 1: Durant was one and done at Texas, so he would

1575
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: be there'd be the best one and done. Yeah, Yeah,

1576
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 1: one and done. When does that come in mid two thousands,

1577
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: because right after they had that run of like Kwame Brown,

1578
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 1: Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler, like all those guys came out

1579
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: straight out of high school and then they put in

1580
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: the one and done rule. So Durant would be the best,

1581
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 1: he'd be the best of those. Yeah, so this is

1582
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: from here's the ratings you were talking about. The ratings.

1583
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 1: According to Sports Business Journal, the tournament featured the most

1584
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: watched first round in its history. More than nine people watch.

1585
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 1: Nine million people watch the games on average. People are

1586
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,639
Speaker 1: hungry for sports, live sports. What does that say when

1587
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: you look at the NBA MLB. Here's what it is.

1588
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: How about one more little fun fact. Nearly thirty percent

1589
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: more people watch the first round of the NCUBAA Tournament

1590
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:52,759
Speaker 1: than the NBA's conference finals. That's that's not surprising. That's

1591
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 1: what it felt like. Honestly this weekend, it's all anyone

1592
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: was talking about. So there's a lot of factors to that.

1593
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: The thing that is most amazing about it is, I

1594
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 1: don't think anybody's watching college basketball during the season. For

1595
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:05,640
Speaker 1: five months out of the year, they're not watching it.

1596
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: This is what makes it so unique, no one pays

1597
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 1: attention to it. And then this thing happens and it's

1598
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 1: a Thursday and a Friday and it's a holiday and

1599
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,759
Speaker 1: there's a bracket and you you gotta do The brackets

1600
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:18,640
Speaker 1: are fun. There's a game all the time on and

1601
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: going next, next, next. I bet that week I'll out

1602
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 1: do this weekend. I think there's a decent chance. Yeah. Yeah,

1603
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:26,680
Speaker 1: because especially when you were going over those and you

1604
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 1: start doing the matchups in your head, like where are

1605
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: you putting in TV windows? And there's not a lot

1606
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 1: you can put on CBS. That's another part of it's

1607
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:35,719
Speaker 1: all on CBS, or a lot of it's on CBS.

1608
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,599
Speaker 1: You get the network bump as well. Still, the sad

1609
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 1: part two, though, is the best game is going to

1610
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,599
Speaker 1: be watched by not as many as they there should be. Yeah,

1611
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:47,760
Speaker 1: nine fifty nine fifty for Gonzai UCLA, Like that's a

1612
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: great one. Yeah, that'll be good. You mentioned Lamar Jackson

1613
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 1: is going to be interviewing himself, yeah, or something like that.

1614
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: We'll get to some of the details on that coming

01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 1: walking out the door. I don't throw those kind of

1627
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: going to want to kill the person. All right? Oh,

1628
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 1: lots of a lot of a lot of a lot

1629
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 1: of nothing, and yet innuendo on the Lamar Jackson front.

1630
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: I've seen two different people from Indie talk about the

1631
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 1: Colts trading for Lamar Jackson. Apparently there's some Vikings talk too,

1632
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:20,599
Speaker 1: some Viking smoke right now, Quay, Yeah, by the way,

1633
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm experienced, anything could be matched. That's right. I'm experiencing

1634
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 1: some I'm experiencing something very unenjoyable right now. So you

1635
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 1: know I shaved the beard a couple weeks ago. Yeah,

1636
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 1: it's it's like it's in the itchy phase right now.

1637
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: It's so annoying. Yeah, it wasn't worth it for a week,

1638
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:41,680
Speaker 1: although ms Kay was happy. So yeah, but it is

1639
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 1: once you once you take it down, then it there's

1640
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 1: a You're gonna have about five days that are gonna

1641
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 1: go like right here, awful, Oh yeah, drive me nuts. Yeah,

1642
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 1: and then once you were through that, then that's great. Yeah. Yeah,

1643
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 1: I'll be back back to this whole Aaron Rodgers thing

1644
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,719
Speaker 1: because again, oh baby, I'm still getting up to speed

1645
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:04,679
Speaker 1: on things. Does but like, what if this deal doesn't

1646
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:07,439
Speaker 1: get done, What if the packers just go, we're just

1647
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: gonna play hardball and we don't really care. Fifty million

1648
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: dollars for nothing the store, it's what it'll be. It

1649
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 1: would be an incredible, real pricey spite. I feel like

1650
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 1: you'd have a better chance with that when if they

1651
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: were a team that was run by a vindictive billionaire

1652
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 1: who was like, fifty million dollars doesn't mean anything to me,

1653
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: and I hate you, but that the packers don't have that.

1654
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: But they're talking about, like Ian King said today, he goes,

1655
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,600
Speaker 1: I would just trade him for like a second and

1656
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 1: third round and the like it can move up. It's

1657
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 1: a conditional pick based on if he plays both years

1658
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: or this. Yeah that like he said, I wouldn't even

1659
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: get a pick this year. It would be for twenty

1660
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 1: four and twenty five. Why he goes, at most you're

1661
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna get a one and a two. I'm like, what

1662
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 1: that seems weird to me? Like I think that, I

1663
01:26:57,520 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 1: think they'll play hold more firm than that. I think

1664
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: that's what's probably holding this up. Who makes money on

1665
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: the packers? Who's the individuals because everybody has like the

1666
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: shares because they're publicly traded. But who's like the person

1667
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: when the checks come in and like, oh we get

1668
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: twour and seventy five billion this year from the NFL.

1669
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 1: Like who's the person who's swimming in gold coins? Who

1670
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 1: is that? I don't know if there is one. Maybe

1671
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 1: there's a trustee that oversees the who financial where's the money? Yeah?

1672
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: Who gets the money? Who makes that call? I know that,

1673
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: Like Murphy's the boss, he's the president. Gudencunses there, he's

1674
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: the GM, But like I don't Green Bay Packers Board

1675
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 1: of Directors is the organization that serves as the owner

1676
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:38,719
Speaker 1: of the nat for the Green Bay Packers of the NFL.

1677
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 1: So it is an executive committee and it is a

1678
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:46,759
Speaker 1: board of directors now when they're one hundred and fourth season.

1679
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: So it is currently composed of Carl Schmidt, Daniel t.

1680
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 1: Aaron's senate Ry Oh, so he's the secretary. Carl Schmidt's

1681
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 1: a member, Daniel t arians as the secretary. Mark Murphy

1682
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 1: is the president. He's featured in the middle. You'd think

1683
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:07,560
Speaker 1: that he's got the most club. Donald jaylong Junia is

1684
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 1: a member. Michael D. Simmer is the treasurer. So perhaps

1685
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:14,599
Speaker 1: so are they the ones that get the cash. Susan

1686
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 1: mco is the vice president and lead director, and Marsha

1687
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 1: M Anderson is a member who owns the majority shares

1688
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Packers. So that's what I'm curious about. Well,

1689
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: we're up against it. Do you get the answer to that?

1690
