I don't know if this is a 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.840 sign of the times or maybe we have a little 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:06.720 bit of a problem here, but Colorado and coach Primes 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:12.720 Colorado Buffalo's they had their spring game over the weekend 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:21.480 and according to Colorado Sports only on social media. The 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:26.680 attendance at the Colorado Spring Games has started to decline 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.120 over the four years since Dion Sanders has taken over. 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.240 In twenty twenty three, the first year, a little over 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.200 forty seven thousand showed up to Boulder for the spring game. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.679 The next year it was twenty eight thousand. The year 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:45.000 after that it was twenty and then approximately in between 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.960 seventeen and eighteen thousand over the weekend they're in Boulder, Colorado. 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.880 That according to Sean Keeler of the Denver Post, so 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.400 the school was claiming that there was about twenty seven 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.360 and change, but upon further review, they might have rounded 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.279 up an extra ten thousand to get to that number. 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.200 And so there's some people that have speculated that well, 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:14.880 maybe uh, maybe the coolness and the newness of the 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.919 Colorado program under Dion Sanders kind of run its course. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.120 That along with the fact that, you know, coming off 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.160 a disappointing season, there's a lot of stuff going on 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.639 and you don't have Shador, you don't have Travis Hunter there, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:28.760 and so some people are worried about the state of 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.040 affairs there in Colorado. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.120 You don't have Shador, you don't have Travis Hunter. You 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.600 were good enough to win four games when they were there. 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:44.720 Let that sink in. So we're saying that the drawing 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:52.160 card was coach prime Shador Sanders Travis Hunter. But it 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:56.560 didn't yield you a result like they had the great start, 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:58.280 didn't they start like three and zero? 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.880 I believe is his first year there? 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.160 Yeah, and they had the big win against what was 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.959 it TCU early first game or something like that? 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.760 Was it the Bullthrog? I they beat Nebraska? Didn't they 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.000 beat Nebraska as well too? 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.399 I'm not mistaken the first game out they were supposed 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.520 to get. They were supposed to get spent Christian. I 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:25.960 believe they Here's what I'll say. Coach Dion Sanders brings 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.160 a lot of the spotlight and attention his way by 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.400 the way he handles things. He's unapologetically who he is, 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:39.360 and he leads with his faith and his belief. He 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:43.520 carries it through with his commitment to his family and 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:50.040 the people that he cares about. And he's a master salesperson. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:58.720 He sells what he buys into. He was able to 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.960 sell himself as a player, he's been able to sell 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.600 himself as a coach. He was able to sell you 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:11.640 his kids as players. He's been able to sell you 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.760 Travis Hunter, and ultimately he's been able to sell you 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.880 the vision and the dream of what the Colorado Buffalo's 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:25.680 program could potentially become under his leadership. He's along the way. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.320 He sold you some Nike shoes. He sold you some blender, 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.040 you know, sunglasses. Yeah, he sold you some fried chicken. 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:38.440 He's selling you. The year before Dion Sanders got there, 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:44.839 I believe the attendance was reported at ten thousand, three hundred, 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:49.400 ten thousands some change, whatever it was. So even with 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:56.560 his fifty percent fallof on attendance to spring game, it's 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.240 more relevant and more significant than what it was when 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:04.480 he got there. And I think sometimes we forget that 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.960 those three wins was better than what they did when 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.920 he got there. Those four wins that he got last year, 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.200 it was better than what he did, or excuse me, 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.120 the four wins the first year, the three wins last year, 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.160 it was better than what it was when he got there. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:25.719 Building programs don't always come together like it did for 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:31.920 Kirk Signetti in Indiana. It's an outlier, and when you 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.479 look at how difficult it is, and especially in the 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:40.240 nil Era time, how difficult it is to build a team, 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:45.760 continue to continue to grow the team, retain players, and 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.880 retain coaches. I think I think it kind of comes 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:57.520 across as there is a focal point that probably again 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.320 that Diann is most likely created by his personality in 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:06.000 a way that he is, but Jonas Ultimately, I think 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:10.120 what we're looking at here is the Deon Sanders effect. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:15.080 If this is any other school, why is this even 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.200 a report? Right You're talking about a three win team, 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.880 a four win team, four win team, three win team. 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.240 Why else are we talking about this team right now? 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.960 Because of Deon Sanders? Okay, and that's I look at 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.799 this and I go, if we just want to address 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.400 some of the other stuff about Colorado, So some players 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.760 who transferred and entered the portal because they lost a 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:38.839 lot of players who entered. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:39.279 A lot of players. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.440 I think it was like thirty five or some crazy 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.560 number like that. But they've also added some players as 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.080 well too. But there's some players have had made some 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.640 comments about the program. Deon Sanders is pretty classy in 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.960 his response to what they were saying, which that whole 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.360 thing especially, look, I could understand if it was back 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:57.960 in the day, and you didn't really have a ton 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.520 of options and you were kind of stuck in this 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.080 spot or whatever it was. But if you make the 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.599 decision to leave someplace and you are also getting paid 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:11.040 to leave that place, just shut up. Nobody cares about 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.200 your complaints about the program. You made it clear and 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.320 obvious that you wanted to go elsewhere, which is why 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.080 you left to begin with. Let it be it wasn't 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.800 for you. You didn't like the no social media stuff 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.800 that he implemented, what like, maybe there should be more 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.800 of that just in general for everybody. But I look 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.960 at it and I go, you do realize the bucket 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.120 of vomit that you were before he got there, right like? 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.760 You do realize it was in a relevant program with 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.680 zero buzz and zero interest. And I get that they 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.280 haven't won a national title and they haven't won all 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.600 these big games, and they haven't been a playoff team 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.640 and so on and so forth. But the fact that 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.200 this is even a conversation, that it's even being talked about, Wow, 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.640 I look at it, and I go, whatever the win 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.040 loss record is, it's a success. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:04.560 Because zero, yeah, it's zero one. It's a success. 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.640 And if you want to make the decision after this 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.440 year that you've got to move on or it's just 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.400 not working, or you know, his style isn't working. Then 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.440 that's fine. But you look back on this era of 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.440 Colorado football and you can say that it peaked early 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:22.920 and people lost interest down the stretch. Hard to argue 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.720 with the fact that there's never been more interest in 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.360 that program other than when they were winning national temes. 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:33.000 You can say that for college football it was a 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:34.239 rock concert. 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:39.920 You can say that for college sports that Dion Sanders 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:48.000 invigorated all of sports with his inaugural year at Colorado. 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:48.960 I think it was great, man. 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:53.760 He was a rising tide for everyone his first year 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:58.320 in Colorado. Everyone, Hey, you need to resurface, get your 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.560 name out, get your brand out. Go to Colorado game. 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.120 Hey you want to get your name out there. You 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.120 want want to get some some press, some media. Go 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.600 visit Prime in his office, say it was it Lil 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:14.360 Wayne machine Gun like get the names are so that 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:20.679 list is so long of people who walked through Thanks 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.559 for my invitea of all those people who walked through 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:30.520 the doors and visited Coach Prime, whether it was game day, 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.319 whether it was off days, and just came into the office. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:41.760 It was a who's who of people circulating through Boulder, Colorado. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:42.800 And if you. 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.959 Took a poll with any of those people, those celebrities 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:51.160 that came there, I would probably be willing to bet 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.840 the bank that most of them had never been to 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.000 the University of Colorado before. 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.079 Then, by the way, I want to correct my I 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.040 don't think Machine Gun Kelly actually performed in Boulder, Colorado. 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.400 But he should have, all right, he should have, So 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.640 that's all right, It's not my fault. Was he there, 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.920 did he visit? Who knows? Probably, But it was a 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.760 who's who of everybody that wanted to be a part 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.760 of the biggest show in football. And it's why it 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.640 was talked about and discussed the way that it was. 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.240 So when I see this stuff come out to where 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:25.360 people like, oh my god, the spring game numbers are down. Okay, 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.400 they give you what you want. And by the way, 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.000 who knows if the weather, you know, whether the weather 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.840 was cooperating. I saw that there was some thunderstorms and 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.640 things like that. Maybe people didn't want to stand in 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.320 the rain to go watch Colorado practice in a spring game, 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.199 Like what do you it's the spring game is free 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.160 for a reason, like if you show up, you show up. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.640 If not, whatever the charge of for parking. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:46.880 I believe. 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.240 So wow, I mean, what do you want? You wanted 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:49.400 to be? 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:50.440 What you want? 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.440 You wanted to be Georgia Spring game where they're handing 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.360 out their hand out condoms because Ludacris is performing. 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.439 They did that with uh with Snoop at the Kentucky 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.640 Midnight Matt Yeah, well too. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:04.880 It's like, what am I supposed to do? 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:05.000 This? 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.559 Make balloon animals, shoot some rubbers out and everybody's coming. 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:15.240 I went to I've been to the last three Penn 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.800 State Blue White games. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:19.319 Total. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:25.240 Totally different from what it was in the early early 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:26.880 two thousand's, late nineties. 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:27.720 Totally different. 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:33.320 You go this I went last when I went last year, No, 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.439 it's just desolate like I. 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.080 Went last year. Really no buzz. 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.320 Well, I don't know about this year, but last year 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:48.320 and we were basically being considered the national champs, like 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:49.679 to compete for it. 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:50.320 Number two. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:54.480 Nobody was there, man, Wow, nobody was there. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.679 Like it was very again, it was. 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.319 Like tumbleweeds, Like it's not what I I was accustomed 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.160 to when I was there. And I'm not trying to 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.760 make it an eye thing, but it's different. I think 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:13.520 the landscape of spring ball is very different than what 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.000 it has been. And I think historically, if we're trying 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.400 to compare what it is now to what it's becoming. 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.640 And that's why you saw Dion talking about having a 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:29.920 different team to play in the spring game. Maybe that 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:33.480 would bring a level of excitement to the fan base. 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.840 Maybe that would be a drawing card to come because 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:42.880 outside of Dion Sanders using his influence to bring in 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.520 these acts, to bring in these celebrities and superstars to 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.600 come be a part of the landscape of Boulder, you. 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:50.360 Don't have that. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.240 You don't have that anywhere. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.520 And so when you look at why he's been able 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.320 to do it, who did he have performed this year? 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.200 Do we know did he Do you have anybody perform 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:01.720 this year? 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:03.240 No? 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:03.320 No, No. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.559 There's things that people can look at and say, Okay, 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:12.400 did this person performing? Hold the weight of people coming 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:17.600 out and wanting to see a glorified practice, a walkthrough. 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.600 It's not a scrimmage anymore. Guys aren't going live. It's 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.640 not your keeping score. Who wins black or gold like, 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.880 It's not that anymore. It's a practice so what we're 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.920 going to take off and go see this and fill 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:36.280 in and pack out this stadium for the sake of 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.320 people being able to say that forty thousand people were here, 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.600 sixty thousand people were here like that used to be 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.360 a flex but I don't think that exists anymore. 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.280 Man who knows. By the way, you know, people got 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.360 other plans. You know, it's a Saturday, you know, you know, 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.520 whether it's in the seventies, it might rain, it might not. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.480 Next thing, you know, you know, some guys out there 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.200 smoking the hippie lettuce, having a couple of throat burners. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.160 You know, people won't have a good time if you're 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:00.600 using it to have a good time. 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.760 And that's why you went to do all that, the 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.440 throat burner, the lettuce, the. 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:07.640 High powered lettuce. 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.000 Get on some of that liver loub the liverlubing, all 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.320 that stuff that you're doing. You might want to do 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.640 that and go in and see the new players, or 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.200 go see what's going on or whatever it may be. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.600 All I'm saying is is that the criticisms that are 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:29.800 coming towards Dion Sanders, while I'll say the attention that 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:34.480 he Garners would say it's justified for him to get 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:38.120 the criticisms. I'll say on the other side of it, 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:42.520 I don't think that it is proper in the sense 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:48.320 that turning this into a sensational, sensationalized story of the 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.440 fall or the demise of Deon Sanders and the Colorado 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:57.120 football team when he's basically dealing with the same exact 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.280 challenges that everybody. 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.160 Else in college football is a tat bit. 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.720 That's that's a tad bit out of line to me, 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:07.120 that's a little out of pocket. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.120 He didn't take over Alabama after saving left, you know 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:14.080 what I mean. He took over an awful program. They 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.480 were terrible. They were a one win team before he got. 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.760 There, and now you expect them to be a national 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.880 title kay tender. You expect them to be in the 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.360 college football playoff. And that's how it's supposed to be. 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:31.880 Why because you took the cheese. Dion again, as I 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:37.040 started the segment off with, Dion has been selling you 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:41.160 on his greatness since he was in college. 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.040 And by the way, uh, it's not exactly like he's 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.160 rolling out there one hundred percent healthy either. I mean, 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:49.120 the guy lost part of. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.000 His foot fighting. He's lost fighting hell, you know, his 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:57.880 inside an a dope looking girlfriend though oh yeah, hey, 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.840 when he's best recruited, when he's recruiting for himself, he 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:06.560 ain't missing that's all. I'm just like, he ain't missing on. 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:11.120 Delivering what whatever whatever happens with this whole thing if 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:15.120 it has looked, if it ends up, you know, you know, 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.080 they don't end up winning more than you know, four 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.400 or five games and they decide they want to move 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.320 on or whatnot. So just sold, you say thank you, 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.720 thank you because because he brought he brought the program 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:30.120 back to relevance and after and that's really I I 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.680 I look at it, and I never looked at Colorado 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.240 and Dion getting there as if what's our win loss 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.160 record and how are they doing Bowl games? I look 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:42.120 at it is well, are they are they interesting? Again? Yes? 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.600 Would be nice to win some games, Yes, and they did, 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:48.320 maybe not the big ones. You know. He also had 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.320 a Heisman Trophy winner. Uh, he had a a guy 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.640 come out of Colorado who was a fifth round pick 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.160 who was the story of an entire draft as well too. 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.960 All of that is to his credit, all while doing 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.080 this with serious medicalition. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.000 Shut on, no gushing over Dion Either this is my 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.480 former teammate. I have a ton of respect for him, 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.520 a ton of admiration. I always tell the story my 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.080 rookie year, I was out of shape coming into camp. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.920 Dion Sanders pulled me aside and conditioned with me after 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.600 every practice and training camp. Dion is not the diva 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.960 that people think he is. He is a very meticulous 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:29.000 he meticulous. He is a very, very regiment oriented dude. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.399 He is a very processed driven dude, almost to the 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.040 point of where you can say it's like a like 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:39.360 OCD type stuff, Like, the dude is about his business. 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:43.320 So the things that people kind of portray or experience 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.280 thinks they experience or know about him may not be 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.600 very accurate. And I say this all to say, what 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.359 is the ultimate goal of trying? Like it always seems 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:58.360 like the stories that surface about Dion Sanders are always 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:03.760 negatively drink what is the ultimate goal? Because at the 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.159 end of the day, if your negativity leads to Dion 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:08.879 Sanders getting fired. 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.119 He don't need no money. 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.560 Dion is not hurting for money. So if you get 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.320 rid of them, okay, he's not coaching anymore. He gets 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.520 to go off and do whatever it is. Whatever else 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.879 he's going to do, probably may may rest enjoy life, 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:28.000 could come back into the media. He kilt it doing that. Yeah, 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.919 they didn't push him out. He rolled out to come coach. 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.080 He could easily go back into that. What is the 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.840 ultimate goal is what I always wonder when you see 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.879 all of these stories, because it's like the fact that 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:46.920 this man leans into who he is, his faith, his accomplishments, 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:51.520 what he expects. It truly offends people. And I don't 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:56.480 understand why Dion is so offensive to the people that 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:57.560 are watching him. 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:01.639 You mentioned OCD. You ever been around somebody who had 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.720 full blown o CD. Yes, let me tell you something. 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.680 I used to work with this I used to used 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:09.320 to I used to well, I used to work with 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.520 this guy at a previous job who had I mean 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.760 full I mean we're talking this guy had heavy duty 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.639 o c D where he had to like touch the 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.720 wall a certain number of times as he walked by, 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:21.560 and hold the railing a certain number of times as 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:23.399 he walked by. And every time I'd see him, and 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.480 the guy looked like Beethoven too, which is awesome. I 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:25.960 don't know what. 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.720 Beethoven was like. Well, you know, I'll just use my imagination. 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.520 But so every time I'd see this guy walk, I 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:34.480 knew he had to touch the railing a certain way 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:36.920 to walk by. I would cut in between him and 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:37.600 the railing just. 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:39.960 Right at that point. Oh, it's great. Did he stop? 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.199 I can't. If I could to stop, I almost went 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:46.560 into convulsions. Yeah, yes, stop. You disrupted his process. That 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.840 ain't right, brouh Hey, that's you wanted him, do they had? 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:51.919 You know he was growing up with your nose in 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:53.479 the corner. That's what you wanted him. 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:55.320 Dudes, you know what look like Mozart. I wouldn't have 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.000 done it.
