Hello, Mike, it's good to see you. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: It's good to see you are enjoying combining. I love 5 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: the combine, and I know people think that I'm being 6 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: a little like extra when I say that I love it. 7 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 1: This is my super Bowl. I love it. You're like 8 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: a cheerleader mother with the combine. Yeah, I'm kind of 9 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: like a cheerleader mother. I suppose that's a bit of 10 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: a reach, but I'm here for it. That's fine. Titans 11 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: Radio's head coach Dave McGinnis is here. Coach Mack, I'm 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: Mike Keith. You love the combine for different reasons. I 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: absolutely do love the combine. I love that Amy Wells 14 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: loves the combine. This is I mean, this is an 15 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: important part of what goes on. So I'm glad to 16 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: be here with you guys, and I do love the combine. 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt is great in multiple states, including the state 18 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: of Indiana. The great Who's Your State? Titans Online dot 19 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: Com senior writer editor who has located his tape recorder. 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: Near disaster. Jim Wyatt. It was a near disaster because 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: obviously I've done a lot of interviews up here, and 22 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: I've done a lot of interviews during the course of 23 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: the year that have been saved on my recorder, and 24 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: we have a transcription network here where people take different 25 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: guys or signed different guys, whether it's the gems or 26 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: head coaches or players. So I was assigned one player 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: on podium two. The person who was assigned the player 28 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: at podium three, when it was over with, took the 29 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: recorder from podium two, and so I'm out a recorder 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, all this work, I probably had four 31 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: hundred fouls on there that I thought I would never see. 32 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: But luckily I looked over at podium three. The identical 33 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: recorder of mine was sitting on podium three. So I'm thinking, 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: whoever was assigned podium three mistakenly took the recorder from 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: podium two. That's what ended up happening. Found that guy 36 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: swapped recorders. Were there any fisticuffs over the handle? Very well. 37 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: John mcclan put an announcement out in the media room upstairs, 38 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: and unfortunately the guy was in the room and said, 39 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: if you picked up the wrong recorder, check it. Guy 40 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: realized you had the wrong recorder. We swapped it out. 41 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: Ot people, this is real life. I'm telling you what. 42 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: If you needed us, we'd be back up. We'd come 43 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: in in a little squad. We'd back you up. We'd 44 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: shake the guy down. If the guy would have left 45 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: the building and um not have been up there, he 46 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: probably would have realized it. Um. This is why people 47 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: love you, Jim. They love to hear these stories. All right, 48 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: let's dive right into this edition of the OTP. We 49 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: know everybody's busy and wants to know what's going on 50 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: on this Wednesday in Indianapolis. Dave McGinnis, we begin with 51 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: you most interesting thing said by general manager John Robinson 52 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: or a head coach Mike Vrabel or both in their 53 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: media sessions on Tuesday. For me, the first thing that 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: John Robinson said that makes me know exactly why I 55 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: appreciate him like I do, being a former coach, being 56 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: a former head coach. When he said that he himself 57 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: as the general manager, was over at the train station 58 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: interviewing players that were not formal interviews. That just tells 59 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: me all I need to know about him, and he 60 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: said that, and it was kind of a throwaway you 61 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: know where he said it. But knowing that, I mean, 62 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: John Robinson does not operate as a general manager from 63 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: an ivory tower. He is boots on the ground, and 64 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: that is unusual for general managers to be over in 65 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: the train station early in the day. That impressed me. 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: It was a day where a lot of words were said, 67 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: but not a lot of information was shared. But I 68 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: did appreciate the savage comment that Mike Vrabel made about 69 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: when asked to describe his relationship with Tom Brady, and 70 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: he said undefeated, and that made me so happy. Yeah, 71 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, you know, not what he said, but 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: what he didn't say, And I get it completely. But 73 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: the story coming out of yesterday was the fact that 74 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: he seemed to make it known that this team wanted 75 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: to resign Derrick Henry and have him back as a 76 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: part of this team. In two thousand and twenty, he 77 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: was a little bit more careful, both John Robinson and 78 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel with their words when talking about Ryan Tannehill. 79 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: He didn't say that in those exact terms, And again 80 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, these are contract negotiations that 81 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: are going on. I think a lot of people took 82 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,119 Speaker 1: that to mean maybe either're looking at another quarterback who's 83 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: out there potentially in free agency. But you've got to 84 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: keep in mind that, you know, this is the process 85 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: is going on our way to March and Ryan Tannehill 86 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: as an agent, I'm sure he's trying to get the 87 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: most for his client, and you have to kind of 88 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: head your bets a little bit and you have to 89 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: play the game. And you know, Day mc ginnis has 90 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: seen this happen for thirty five years in the league, 91 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: and I think that's just a part of it. But 92 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: but that was what stood out to me more than 93 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: anything else, is he said a lot of things that 94 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: led you to believe they definitely want Derek Henry back. 95 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: With Tanney Hill, it was more playing the game. All right, 96 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: I'll start with you with this one, Jim White. Most 97 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: interesting things said about Mike Vrabel or John Robinson or 98 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: the Titans yesterday on media Day, I think, you know 99 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: the crew I hang with the reporters. I think the 100 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: most interesting thing was just the frustration that they didn't 101 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: get anything more out of those guys and they can't 102 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: say anything about contracts. You just don't know how they're 103 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: working through. So that's I heard a lot of griping, 104 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, because and that's what I 105 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: expected to hear, because I didn't think they would give 106 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: up too many nuggets at the podium, rolling through here 107 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: with Titans apparel, and we are very clearly here as 108 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. I kind of feel like the bell 109 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: of the ball a little bit talking to different people 110 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: with other teams and media members and just while everyone's 111 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: milling about here at the media center at the combine, 112 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk about the year that the Titans had, 113 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: and everyone wants to talk about the success that we 114 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: had and what's going to happen. We're one of the 115 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: most compelling stories in the NFL right now, and everyone's 116 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: kind of buzzing about it. And that's a little unusual 117 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: in this environment. We're not usually in that position where 118 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: everybody wants to have these conversations and have all these questions, 119 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: and it's been very exciting. I like being one of 120 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: the coolest people in the room. Well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, 121 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna piggyback off of what she's said. And because 122 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: I you know, I'd run in a little bit of 123 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: different crowd with the coaches and all these players, and 124 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: they nothing but respect for what's going on. We just 125 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: had a visitor here, Kenny Valisary, long time, long time 126 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: PR director with the Chicago Bears' dad, long time you know, 127 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: ad at Notre Dame, been in the league a long time. 128 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: One of the first things he told Amy and I 129 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: when we were sitting here talking was I love your 130 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: head coach. And that's coming from a Chicago Bears guy 131 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: that you know, was with Mike Ditka. And the first 132 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: thing he said was your team plays like we used 133 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: to play. That's a huge, huge compliment. Coach. Gonna stay 134 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: with you right here. Another team and one of their 135 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: officials who got your attention yesterday doing their podium. I'm 136 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: gonna go with Kevin Stefanski, the new head coach at 137 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, thirty seven years old. He hasn't been 138 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,559 Speaker 1: in the league a long time. He's made a pretty 139 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: he's made a pretty rapid rise when he was there 140 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: at Minnesota. I've always been impressed with him, and and 141 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: but the thing that he said yesterday that was really 142 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: interesting to me. I was a first time head coach 143 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: here before, but I was older than that, you know, 144 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: when I got my first job. What he said was 145 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: he hasn't been playing, you know. And they asked him, 146 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: are you still gonna call plays? Are you still gonna 147 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: call plays as a first year head coach for your offense? 148 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: He said calling plays was exciting. He said it wasn't fun, 149 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: and then he backed that up by saying, you're just 150 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you're completely wiped out. 151 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: You're washed out. And he said, I will work I 152 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: will work through that, you know, right now and decide. 153 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: But he was very transparent, you know when he said that. 154 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting from a first year head coach at 155 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: thirty seven years old. Yeah, I have to say, you know, 156 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: because on a day when your gym talks, in your 157 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: head coach talks. I have to admit that I didn't 158 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: bounce around and listen to everybody, but I did kind 159 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: of try to catch up at the end of the day, 160 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: just on what was happening around the league and the 161 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: stuff from John Lynch and the forty nine ers talking 162 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: about Garoppolo. It's just still kind of amazing to me 163 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: on a year when they go to the Super Bowl 164 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: that you've got questions where John Lynch is having to 165 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: to kind of give Jimmy Garoppolo a stamp of approval 166 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: that they are committed to him moving forward again. It 167 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: was not that long ago when he was amy talking 168 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: about being the bell of the ball. He was kind 169 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: of an up and coming guy himself, and now you're 170 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: having to get him give him a little bit of 171 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: a vote of approval. I think that's interesting. I'm intrigued 172 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: by Bruce arians at Tampa Bay and his relationship with 173 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. He has been very blick throughout this offseason, 174 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: talking about like, well, we won a couple of days, 175 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: and I won a couple of games, and Jamis didn't 176 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: really help us that much, Like he said these things 177 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: all the time, and then yesterday he just rattles off 178 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: a list of free agents that like he'd love to 179 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: bring in at quarterback. Their dynamic is so bizarre to me, 180 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know what they text about, like in 181 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: the evenings when they're just interacting together. I don't know 182 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: what their dynamic is, but publicly it always seems very strange, 183 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: like he is not interested in making Jamis feel good 184 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: about himself. It doesn't appear. Yeah, I know Bruce, I 185 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 1: know Bruce very well. Doesn't shock me at all. Yeah, 186 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: because Bruce, Bruce has got has got zero cares given. Yeah, 187 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: he's he is living his best life. You know, he 188 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: was fired, before he was fired, did not have a 189 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: job in the league, and all of a sudden he's 190 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: coach of the year. Okay, head coach of the year. 191 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: So it doesn't surprise me anything what Bruce said. And 192 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent right, Amy. He will just whatever 193 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: he wants to say, he's gonna say, He'll flat out 194 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: say it, like, yeah, he's not a great player all 195 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: the time. I'm sorry. Political correctness not part of the 196 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: deal with him. If you love stories about the NFL 197 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: in February, if you if you like to read him, 198 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: if you like to watch him, if you're watching NFL 199 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: Network or ESPN, or listening to Sirius XMNFL radio, or 200 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: listening to your favorite team station in Nashville, listening to 201 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: one oh four five listening to this podcast, you're excited 202 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: about the volume of NFL stories during the combine, Amy 203 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 1: Wells most interesting combined story that you have seen, read, 204 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: or heard to this point I think that the way 205 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: that the combine has changed, and living it out right 206 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: now and seeing how that's going to work with the 207 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: interviews being changed and the workouts being at different times, 208 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: and the way that I mean this thing has been 209 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: exactly the same since the beginning of time. Coach Matt 210 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: can attest to that. So seeing the changes, and we 211 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: had talked about it for and months about oh, the 212 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: combine is going to be different this year, and living 213 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: it out and watching it play and seeing what works 214 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: and what doesn't work, and watching everybody adjust and a 215 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: bunch of people who do not like adjusting for anything. 216 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: It has been very interesting and I'm almost looking forward 217 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: to having this be behind us and seeing the retrospective 218 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: of what worked and what didn't work and whether it 219 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: actually had an impact, whether it be on ratings or 220 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: the teams or what they were able to accomplish, you know, 221 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: and talking and talking with people, and that's that's at 222 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: the top of everybody's list. This is brand new for everybody, 223 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: and you're one right Amy, all of us that have 224 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: been coming here to Indianapols. Since they started having it here, 225 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: everybody had gotten kind of into a groundhog day mold 226 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: as to where you were really good and you felt 227 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: like you knew what was going on. People are adjusting 228 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: to this, and not only not only not only the teams. 229 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: I've talked to people, you know, there are a lot 230 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: of you know, everybody is here with their trainers, they're 231 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: here with their workout people. I've talked to those people, 232 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: and they are in a different and setting out. Now, 233 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: how do we prep our guys on a on a 234 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: to get them ready to perform in the evening rather 235 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: than getting ready to perform during the day. I mean, 236 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: that's that's how deep it gets. How are we going 237 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: to feed these guys? How are we going to do? 238 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: What are we going to do? And they've had to 239 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: start doing it, and you know, before they got here. 240 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: It's very interesting to hear everybody is dialed into that. 241 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: And the NFL said they wanted feedback from this after 242 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: this was over for everybody and the other thing to 243 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: this one other caveat to that. Because of that massive change, 244 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: everybody is starting to lean towards where is this thing 245 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: going to be next year? That's that's the biggest thing 246 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: that I'm getting from all the circles that I run in. 247 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: They say, Okay, they were ready to flip this upside down? 248 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: Now what are we doing? And I'm anna go and 249 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm before I go further, my compliment Mike Keith on 250 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: a shirt that he's wearing today are Johnston and Murphy. 251 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: We're wearing the same shame shirt. It's the OTP brought 252 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: to you by and we have khaki pants on y 253 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: so so storyline, I mean, the storyline for me is 254 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: another league one. And Amy mentioned the name Tom Brady 255 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: earlier when talking about Mike Rabel, but the story of 256 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: the Boston Globe, I think it was late yesterday I 257 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: saw that Don Yee, uh, tom Brady's agent a schedule 258 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: to meet with the Patriots here at the Combine and 259 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: in Annapolis. I think, um, I think everyone or across 260 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: the league is curious just to see how that one 261 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: plays out, whether or not they yes. And I get 262 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: the sense that you know, obviously people in in the 263 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: Foxborough area as well, because if you noticed that Mike 264 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: Rabel's podium yesterday, there was a Patriots dot Com camera 265 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: that just happened to be stationed there, and uh, they're 266 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: very interested to see what our coach had to say. 267 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: And then I've been Voling from the Boston Globe hung 268 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: around his media session. Of course, Bill Belichick's now here, 269 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: but I had a couple of other reporters from the 270 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: Boston area that we're poking around. Um so everyone across 271 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: the league as cure set that one plays out and 272 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: we'll see whether anything comes out of this. Here in India, 273 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: these are up to the minute OTPs from Indianapolis, this 274 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: one being done on Wednesday. In the wake of what 275 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: happened last night, the player representatives passed on to their 276 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: membership the chance to vote on a new collective bargaining agreement. 277 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: To vote was seventeen to fourteen, one team abstaining. That 278 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: would normally be the Raiders and everything. I don't know 279 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: if he still is now that Al Davis isn't with 280 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: us anymore, but anyway, bottom line is the players are 281 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: going to vote on an opportunity to put a new 282 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: CBA into place in the next few days. Jim Wyatt, 283 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: do they pass it? I think so, yeah, I think so. 284 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: I think you know, certainly you'd like to see the discussion. 285 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: I think they've seemed like they're trying to reach some compromises, 286 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: and I say yes, yes, I would say yes too. 287 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: All right, So as you read some of the stories 288 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: about potential CBA details and the changes, Amy Wells, you 289 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: get first crack. What do you like the best? One 290 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: of the things I like, And this is kind of 291 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: a lame thing, I guess for us, but that they 292 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: were raising the minimum salaries so much. I think that 293 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: that reaches so many people. I mean, there aren't that 294 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: many guys in the NFL who make the blockbuster salaries. 295 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: A lot of the guys that play in, a lot 296 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: of the guys that filled the team are making your 297 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: standard league minimum salary. So I think giving those guys 298 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: a bit of a boost, and I think that that's 299 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: that makes it a little bit more sustainable. And I 300 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: just really thought that that was a cool thing and 301 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: will help it get past a little bit. Now. I'm 302 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: glad you asked Amy first, because that's exactly what I 303 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: was going to say. Look, they're raising it. They're raising 304 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: the minimum by twenty percent. Now, everybody that's listening to 305 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: us has a job. If you were going to get 306 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: a twenty percent raise, I take it. Yet, And I 307 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: think and there that's over half of the players in 308 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: the National Football League are on minimum contracts. People don't 309 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: realize that over half of the players are on that. 310 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: So you ask me why I think it will pass. 311 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: I thought that was a huge part of it. The 312 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: other thing is, if you read that thing a little bit, 313 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: which I read some of the details on it, if 314 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: they vote this in with seventeen games, you've got seventeen 315 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: games for ten years. It's not changing. That is not changing, 316 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: so they can't go to eighteen, which the players like. 317 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: That is correct. Yeah, and I think the easy answers. 318 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: I love the seventeen games, love the extra playoff team, 319 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: but I also like kind of the increase number of 320 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: on the roster. I think it's going to fifty five. 321 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: And then the practice squad. I like the bump there 322 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: and the fact if it goes through that you'll have 323 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: two spots that will let you have unlimited experience. You 324 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: know a lot of those. There's a formula on some 325 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: of them where you can play a certain amount of 326 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: games or a certain amount of years, or a combination. 327 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: The two. The fact that you can have some players 328 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: on the practice squad just to keep them in it 329 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: and keep them in shape, and give you an opportunity 330 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: to have a veteran that you could promote. I like 331 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: the sound of that coach Mac. Regardless of what you read, 332 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: it sounds like a fourteen team playoff is coming this year. 333 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: It feels like we're moving towards seven in each conference 334 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: and expanded playoffs. Do you like it? Yes, I do 335 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: like it. I like it very much. I've been on 336 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: teams that have been ten and six and nine and 337 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: seven and just missed okay, and and and some of 338 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: those teams. Some of those teams are good football teams. 339 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: And it depends on what you know, what division or 340 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: conference you're playing in. Sometimes when you when you missed out, 341 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: I mean, and so I like it. I like it. 342 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: I like that fact, and I like the fact that 343 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: you're going to have three games that first weekend. It'll 344 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: be very exciting. And there will be some years where 345 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: a team that you know, it's that's eight and nine 346 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: that ends up making the playoffs. But the teams that 347 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: you know that finish you know, eleven and six potentially 348 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: and don't make it. I mean, that's it's worth it 349 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,239 Speaker 1: just for that. And all you gotta do is look 350 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: at the Titans this past season, a team that made 351 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: it as a wild card at the last weekend, and 352 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: makes you run all the way FFC Championship game. I 353 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: think I think you're you could leave quality teams out 354 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: if you don't it. I think that I think it's 355 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: going to benefit the AFC South teams more than I 356 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: think some other divisions. But I have a question because 357 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: I think I've read conflicting things about what they're doing 358 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: with the buys? Then what do they do? How did 359 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: they distribute the buys? Ah, you've led me to the 360 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 1: second point. So what will happen is two will play seven, 361 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: three will play six, four will play five, and the 362 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: only buy will go to the number one seed. Okay, 363 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: So the question that I was just going to ask, 364 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: and now that you've just heard that, I'll just get 365 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: your quick reaction. Is that too much of an advantage? 366 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: And will it cause a playoff imbalance? Because only one 367 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: team in each conference will get a bye under this format? 368 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: I don't know. Should we ask the Baltimore Ravens Maybe? 369 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: I think I think I think she just went undefeated 370 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, but they're here, we could probably ask them. Wow. 371 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: I hate to say it, though, the Titans have played 372 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: that role a couple of times too since I've been 373 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: around it's half of two thousand and two thousand and 374 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: eight year, so I've seen it happen, all right. Serious 375 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: question though, is it because there are people who are 376 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: concerned that one buy in each conference is too much 377 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: of an advantage. I really don't think so. I think 378 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: that there's advantages and disadvantages to that. Bye. No, you've 379 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: got to play the regular season first. I mean, the 380 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: regular season matters, and to me, that should be a 381 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: reward for being the best regular season team in that conference. 382 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: I've got no problem with it. I've been on both 383 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: ends of it. Yeah, and I'm the same way. I 384 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: think you need to be rewarded if you have the 385 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: type of season where you earned a BOB, but it 386 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: guarantees you absolutely nothing. Now, speaking of bobs, and I 387 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: don't know whether Amy is alluding to this, I am curious, 388 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: how does it affect the buys during the course of 389 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: the regular season the seventeen games, sticking with one buys 390 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: as it's been written. Now, there was a discussion of 391 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: a double buy, but now there would be two weeks 392 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: to prepare for the for the first regular season game 393 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: in terms of how it's structured in the talks, and 394 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: then there would still only be one buy in what 395 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: would be an eighteen week season. Thoughts um, I like 396 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: it and I'd love to see but it all right. 397 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: So the teams have put in their information for the league. 398 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: According to the Washington Post about their thoughts on replay, 399 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: they have submitted all of their forms and their reaction. 400 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: Teams hate replay review of past interference. They hate it. 401 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: They don't want it back. They don't think it makes 402 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: any sense. They don't think it's officiated fairly. I mean, 403 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: it got a big negative. It looked like one of 404 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: my report cards in geometry. So, Dave McGinnis is review 405 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: of past interference dead after one year? It's dead, and 406 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm happy. It was awful. It was awful. It was 407 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: It was a knee jerk reaction to what went on 408 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: with the Rams and the Saints. It was not well 409 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: thought out. And then when it was put into practice 410 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: the league, Al Riverant would not make a decision disputing 411 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: what went on on the field because he just would 412 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: not do it. I hate the way it's it's it's officiated, 413 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: I hate the way that it's reviewed, and I wanted out. 414 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: I want it dead. Yeah, I'm with coach Mike I 415 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: mean it is just a waste of time at this point. 416 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I wish there was a situation where you 417 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: could avoid having big calls missed. But if it's going 418 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: to be handled procedurally like it was this past season, 419 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: it's a waste of time. Oh see, I don't think 420 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: it's dead. I think that the league is the league, 421 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: and sometimes they tend to let things stick around just 422 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: because it was their idea and they want to. I 423 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: think they'll retool it. I think it'll be as idea. 424 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. But still I don't know, but a 425 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: fair point. I can't see it being gone after one year. 426 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: I mean it didn't work. It was a full disaster. 427 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: And the NFL is pretty good at splitting the baby. 428 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they have this issue about different things, right, 429 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: So let me give you an I'll give you the 430 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: first crack at this one. Okay. Now, what the coaches 431 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: want is the sky judge. Okay, now, the sky judge, 432 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: according to the coaches and coach Matt correct me if 433 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't have this exactly right. The sky judge sits 434 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: in the booth and if sky judge sees something, and 435 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: this is a former referee, if he says sees something egregious, 436 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: he punches down, which is how review could survive. It 437 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: could be left in the sky judge's hands. Several things 438 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: could be left in the sky judge's hand. Dave McGinnis, 439 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: what do you think of the sky judge concept and 440 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: do you think it's on the way? I like that, Okay, 441 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: I like it because the speed of the game. We 442 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: know how the speed of the game is moving, and 443 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: clearly there is something you can see when you are 444 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: not boots on the ground down on the field. I mean, 445 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: we all do our games. We all do our games, 446 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: you know from up where you can see you believe me. 447 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: I've been on the sideline. Amy's on the sideline. You 448 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: guys have been on the sideline during a game. There's 449 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: more that you can see up there. I like the 450 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: sky judge concept either two. Yeah, I'm gonna coach mack 451 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: on app. I like it as well. I don't think 452 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: that he becomes the pass interference guy because I feel 453 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: like that's something you have to be on the ground for. 454 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: I feel like you are. I feel like you need 455 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,239 Speaker 1: to see what's happening in that situation you pull out. 456 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: I gotta disagree with you. I think he has a 457 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: better view of it from up there, and also would 458 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: be able to click on a monitor to take a 459 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: look at something. I guess he'd have access to monitors, 460 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: which would help too by having the different camera angles 461 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: and processing this in real time. The only thing I 462 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: hope is if they do sky Judge. I think it 463 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: has to be required that Sky Judge has to have 464 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: dramatic music so when the when the button is hit, 465 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: so when the button is hit, through the whole stadiument goes, 466 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: you know, just this massive sky Judge. I think we 467 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: should only refer to him as such like this person, 468 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: this erson, this person, and sky Judge. Well. By the way, 469 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: if Hokul ends up one of the sky Judges big ed, 470 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: you can bet he'll be referring to himself as he 471 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: will be sky Judge Hokult. I really like it. Time 472 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: for What's brewing? As we wrap up this special NFL 473 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: combined addition from Indianapolis of the OTP. Jim Wyatt, What 474 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: is brewing with you? Great one? Brew with me? Just 475 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: how did I get so old? And how much?

Hard for me to 483 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: believe that now some of these guys that I covered 484 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: and saw these kids when they were a little bitty 485 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: around the facility.

They'll tell me, and then I'll 492 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: get engaged. I know all of them, and you're not 493 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: supposed to be.

The female 505 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: team reporters have a little tradition and we all get 506 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: together and we go out to dinner. We call it 507 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: our girls Dinner. And last night there were I think 508 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: eighteen of us, which is the most we've ever had 509 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: at girls Dinner, and it was It's such a cool thing. 510 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: We're all on a group chat together. We text all 511 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: the time throughout the season. It's a really cool thing 512 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: that we've kind of started in the last couple of years. 513 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: And we went to dinner last night and it was 514 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: so cool. It's such a unique thing and it has 515 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: grown so much throughout the years. It's a really cool 516 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: thing to be a part of. And I'm very proud 517 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: of girl Dinner. Here's what I'm proud of of. We've 518 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,479 Speaker 1: got a chance to go to two preseason games in 519 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: this next deal. Don't do halfway and do three preseason games. 520 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: Don't do that. If go ahead, go ahead and make 521 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: it two so you have one home game and one 522 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: away a game. That's what everybody wants, that's what the 523 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: players want, that's what the owners really want. Though, you'll 524 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: make up the money and all the TV revenue you're 525 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: gonna get. It's okay, everybody, the fans want this. Please 526 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: don't give us three preseason games. Please don't try to 527 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: convince us to sell fans two preseason games. Every other 528 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,959 Speaker 1: year two preseason games total, one at home and one away. 529 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,239 Speaker 1: Years and years and years ago, we had to go 530 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: out and sell to the fan base the preseason. It 531 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: was a it was a big deal. We went out 532 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: and we said, you want to buy the tickets, and 533 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: the tickets are off the same price, including the preseason. 534 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: And when Roger Goodell took over commission as a commissioner, 535 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: he criticized the preseason, which of course took all thirty 536 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: two clubs who have to go out and sell it, 537 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: and left us to say, great, the head of our 538 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: league is criticizing our own product. Okay, we're all over that. 539 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: Now we've forgiven you. You brought the draft to Nashville. 540 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: Life's good. So now be everybody's friend forever. Two total 541 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: preseason games, not seventeen and three, seventeen and two. That's 542 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: what we want. A girl dinners great, two preseason games. 543 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: Two preseason games would be better. You'd give up those friends, 544 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't you. I would give I'd give up my sister. 545 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: I picked her because she hasn't listen to this. The 546 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: bottom line though, is I just think in this world 547 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: where we can't agree on everything, and players and owners 548 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: can't agree on everything. I mean, you can't get people 549 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: to degree on one thing. Everybody gets that two preseason 550 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: games would be better. Just do this. So what are 551 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: the chances that happen? Oh? None?
