19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: the beginning of free agency, right we're a week away,

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: as it's starting to play a little matchmaker here. This

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: is I don't know why this team doesn't get more run,

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: as this should be the blueprint of how to run

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: a team in twenty twenty six in the NFL, right,

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: because we looked at the Chiefs for the longest time.

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: Oh boy, the Chiefs are run so well. Okay, Andy

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Reid's a great coach, and you have the best quarterback

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's like, say, boy, look how well

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: the Pagriots a run. You had the best quarterback in

29
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. You had a pretty good coach, best quarterback

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: in the Yeah, you have these things that made it.

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: And clearly we know that. Hey, the Patriots real dynasty

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: was way more because of Brady. Okay, the Chiefs, boy,

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: they win yet because they have Mahomes. But watching the

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: trade the Rams made today getting Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs, right,

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: all pro cornerback. They give up a package of draft

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: picks number twenty nine pick this year, a couple of

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: late round picks as well, fifth and six round picks,

38
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: a third round pick next year. So the Chiefs do

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: well in the deal. Don't get me wrong. You got

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: a first round pick, a third round pick, and a

41
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: fifth and a sixth you do Okay. Mahomes was shocked.

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: He put out damn on social media after seeing this

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: because here's McDuffie going into the final year of his

44
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: rookie deal and looking for a big payday.

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of their bat I mean obviously off the

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: charts in terms of his ability, attitude, and if you

47
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 3: rank their players, he's on the metal standard this point, right,

48
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: I mean, look, this is this is as good as

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: you're gonna get. Right, you're talking about a trade if

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: you trade for a late first round pick, and you

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: know the Rams have always been f them picks, right,

52
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: that's been their philosophy, And you kind of knew this

53
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: was coming. Lesnied talked about it yesterday looking at the offseason,

54
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: and he said, well, the first thing you always want

55
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: to look at to say, is there an All Pro

56
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: you can add?

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Hey, guess what, we just added an All Pro player.

58
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: In other words, he was nodding and winking at you

59
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: the whole time.

60
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Let's add an All Pro player. And McDuffie, who we

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: kind of knew this might happen because he was asked

62
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: previously in a podcast, hey, if you're not playing for

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, where would you like to play? And he

64
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: was like, oh man, you're gonna get me in trouble.

65
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: But you know I'm from La. So maybe the Rams

66
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: and the Ram just said, all right, so when you're

67
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: up and they're gonna pay you, we're gonna trade for you.

68
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: So should I will say, like, this is a this

69
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: is a fate of complete like at some point he's

70
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a w Rent.

71
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: Was this all broker before or after the third shrimp

72
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: cocktail and extra drink?

73
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: I want to play close to my family, it would

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: probably be the Rams so my family could come see

75
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: me every single game. Okay, now this is a few

76
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: months ago when when he was hosting a I think

77
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: he was at a doing a football camp in Kansas City,

78
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: and you know he gives that answer, so okay, that's

79
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: one of those clippings. Save Hey, all right, let's go

80
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: h this is why every team in the NFL. I

81
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: am I'm sure the Bears are. I am sure the

82
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys are extremely jealous of the Rams and how they're

83
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: able to not just stay relevant every year, but be

84
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: a super caliber team every year. Now in twenty twenty six,

85
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: right because you want to look back and say, well,

86
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: we've seen that before. Well, yeah, because the Patriots had

87
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Brady for the better part of two decades. All right,

88
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: When you have that and your coach is the same. Yeah,

89
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna do pretty well. So I get the Patriots

90
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: dynasty also had the plays for a while ahead of time,

91
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs, well, the chief super Bowl thread the

92
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: Yeah you have the same quarterback, right you had? You

93
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: have Patrick Mahomes who is the best quarterback in the game,

94
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: and he reads a good ad coat. I understand that.

95
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: But this is the Rams who've been a yearly super

96
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: Bowl threat almost for a decade with different personnel. Year

97
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: two year they went to a super Bowl with Jared Goff.

98
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: They went to a super Bowl and won with Matthew Stafford.

99
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: They were nearly there again. This year, they were nearly

100
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: there again last year. Every year they find a way.

101
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: It's a volatile roster, way to put the roster together

102
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: where it's been. We're gonna combine guys we drafted, and

103
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna combine getting guys that maybe have worn out

104
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: there welcome someplace. We're okay with that. We'll get a

105
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: little bit of crazy. They would going the pass. Let's

106
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: get a little bit of crazy coming in.

107
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 4: Now.

108
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: It's hey, let's go out and get it all pro

109
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs aren't gonna be able to afford because

110
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: they need to revamp this team in the next level

111
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: and worry about different things. They got to pay for

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: offense in the offseason. They gotta do a lot of

113
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: different things. So, yeah, they can't pay this guy, so

114
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna go out and get him. We don't care

115
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: about our first round pick. We just had an all

116
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: pro cornerback for the price of a guy we got

117
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: into the first round, a third round, and a fourth

118
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: or fifth round. Yeah, I'm absolutely fine with that. The

119
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: way the Rams are able to do this and do

120
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: it so brazenly and not just fade out because at

121
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: some point I remember thinking, at some point, the bill

122
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: is coming due and the Rams are gonna have to

123
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: spend a year or two resetting. They got to get

124
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: out from bad money and they have to get back

125
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: to where they are. No, no, no, we just continue

126
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: to find a way every year to roll one year

127
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: into the next, and maybe it's one or two years

128
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: with the star player before they say, okay, we're moving on.

129
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: How many more years they're gonna have DeVante Adams. I'd

130
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: know before they say, hey, we got to move on

131
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: from him. But that's what it is. They bring in

132
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: lots of high profile guys to fill whatever needs are.

133
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: After a couple they're gone in somehow we can bring

134
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: in somebody else replace them. Now, when you combine that

135
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: with with hey, we get a draft picked that after

136
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: a couple of years, this guy hits right. Took a

137
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: couple of years, but guess what they hit it with

138
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: Blake Korm. So now it's not just Kyen Williams, but

139
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: it's Kien Williams and Blake Korm that's at the head

140
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: of that running game. Right. Koran was even the more

141
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: valuable running back the back half of the season this

142
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: year than Kien Williams was when you were like, Okay, well,

143
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: this guy's terrific. They have been able to not just

144
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: evaluate the talent the right way, getting guys deeper in

145
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: the draft, bringing in star players, turning them over from

146
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: year to year. And that's the big thing is that

147
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: the turnover. They keep rolling sevens because eventually you'd say, okay,

148
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: with a turnover one year, AT's not gonna work. Right,

149
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: what you try to do, the pieces you tried to

150
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: fit at doesn't work, We'll get back it again next year. Nope.

151
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: Every year super Bowl threat, whether it's Matthew Stafford, whether

152
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: it's Jared Goff, whether it's Matthew Stafford at the age

153
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: of thirty seven, having an MVP type season. We're gonna

154
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: we find Pooka Nakua in the draft. Guess what, He's fantastic.

155
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: We don't need cop anymore. The way the Rams do it,

156
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm so incredibly jealous that they do it better than

157
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: anybody else in the NFL. I don't know how they

158
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: do it, how they keep going different money. We're gonna

159
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: spend all of like there's a salary cap, and but

160
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: they make it work every single year.

161
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: Well, but it goes to the larger league conversation we

162
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: have and we do this and certainly in baseball right

163
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: when everybody does their belly aching about how the Dodgers operate. Sure,

164
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 3: the fact that you've got seemingly an unlimited bankroll allows

165
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: you to make mistakes. It allows you to hold guys

166
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: out a bit longer if they need to come back

167
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: off an injury. There are advantages to it, no doubt,

168
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: but you still need to be able to evaluate players

169
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: that have been discarded from other organizations, players that you

170
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: see a fit for, how you run your offense or defense.

171
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: Now for the Rams, you've now hit a point with continuity,

172
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: and that's the key word to all of this. You

173
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 3: mentioned New England, you mentioned Kansas City. Well, you got

174
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: the same front office, you've got the same coach, the

175
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: same quarterback.

176
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: In all of those.

177
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: In this case, yeah, you had the year of Jared Goff,

178
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: but you decided you were done with him and you

179
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: moved on and McVeigh and he had to have their

180
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: you know whatever, maya kulpa, how that was handled whatever,

181
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: over time.

182
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: But they've had their the.

183
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: Mini hiccups of waiting with baited breath as to whether

184
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: McVeigh was gonna leave, whether Matthew Stafford was available. I

185
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: still want more information on the back injury versus yeah,

186
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: I'm just not coming to camp. Figure it out kind

187
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: of thing as he goes out and has an MVP season.

188
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: But the draft analysis and the way they've been able

189
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: to make the most out of that go back less.

190
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: Sneave was hired in twenty twelve, and I remember you

191
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: and I doing shows here locally in Los Angeles, and

192
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: when McVeigh got hired, just the questions of wow, that's

193
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: it's gutsy and it's gonna either flame out or this

194
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 3: guy's truly gonna be the wonder kid as you and

195
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: I just keep referencing ted Lasso left to night. So

196
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: here you have that opportunity, and you've watched McVeigh at

197
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: year after year show that acumen, and they've drafted very well.

198
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: They've picked players off the scrap heap like Kansas City

199
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: had done, like New England had done. Think about those

200
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: guys at the end of their runs, Corey Dillon and

201
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: all those guys that showed up in New England at

202
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: the end. But you needed that base and consistency, and

203
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 3: most teams are not patient enough to do that, right

204
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: Leaven the Bears right now, they've got to go and

205
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 3: scramble after their center says I'm leaving, I'm taking my

206
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: money and going, Okay, we thought that we had that

207
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: nailed down all right, next pivot and they're only in

208
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: year two of a regime. You're hopeful that you're building

209
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: off of what happened last year, but you have no idea.

210
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: And I guess go back two years to the trade

211
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: that brought Caleb Williams. But I guess the larger point

212
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: is patience, because when it doesn't look like it's working

213
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 3: because Blake Corn was a guy people were ready to discover.

214
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: A couple of years hasn't worked outcause usually running backs

215
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: you see it right away because if you have a

216
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: little bit of vision, you were able to come into

217
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: the league and do it. Like when you're a great

218
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: athlete coming out of college, we see it right away.

219
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: Edge Rusher's running backs, Hey, little bit of vision, this

220
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: will see But we didn't see it, Blake CRM Okay,

221
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: well they missed on them. Nope, nope. Just had to

222
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: wait a little bit and look at Blake Court a.

223
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: Little bit of time, wanting to take a little bit

224
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 3: of the workload away to make sure Kyron Williams was

225
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: ready for the stretch run at BAM. Now you have

226
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: a two headed monster moving forward. Williams is on a

227
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: pretty cheap deal relatively speaking, for his production these next

228
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: couple of years in Korum, still on that rookie deal.

229
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: So you get to go back into the marketplace like

230
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: this and make a play for Kansas City. Now it

231
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: becomes really interesting. They've got the twelfth most money to

232
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: spend after renegotiating and reconstituting a bunch of these deals,

233
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: but their level of need is huge for the Rams

234
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 3: they got as long as Stafford and McVeigh want to

235
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: run this out. Now, this goes to the other part

236
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 3: of what I've said for a long time, Jet Steak,

237
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: get it. Well, No, that's been forty five years. The

238
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: flip side.

239
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: Of it is what I say, get the Chiefs last

240
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: year because this offseason is gonna be incredibly aggressive. They're

241
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: gonna go big offensively. It's gonna be a new number

242
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: one receiver, gonna be a star number one receiver, a

243
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: star number one running back. They're going out spending money

244
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: and look what they're doing. Hey, we're not paying this

245
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: defensive player because watch what we do on offense because

246
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: they know, hey, we need to. We need to. We

247
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: can't keep running it back with these weapons what we have.

248
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: We have to help Patrick Mahomes out a little bit more.

249
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: We tried for a few years with get by guys.

250
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: It didn't work. Who knows if for she Rice is

251
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: gonna play for us again? Who knows if Xavier Worthy

252
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: is really any more than a gadget guy. So we

253
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: gotta go out and I told you watch how aggressive

254
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: they are once free agency begins. Number one stud receiver,

255
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: number one stud running back, and I guarantee you they

256
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: will also add a tight end because there's plenty of

257
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: good tight ends available, and they're just gonna say, listen,

258
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: come in one year, year behind Travis Kelcey, and you're

259
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: gonna play a lot. Don't worry because Travis is near

260
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: the end, and next year it's your job. David and

261
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Joker will say, I'll sign up for that. So many

262
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: free that's such a rich position in agency, so many

263
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: gods say yeah, I'll go there for a year, split

264
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: time with Travis Kelcey and then and then take over

265
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: and for the back half of Mahomes' career. Yeah, I'm there.

266
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Watch what they add on offense this offseason. They're clearing

267
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: the decks for it.

268
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: Well, we went through the the best and deepest positions

269
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 3: in free agency. Skill position. Of course, for the sake

270
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 3: of the conversation, we'll do interior alignment another time.

271
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: But the tight end.

272
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: Position already had ten plus in terms of free agents

273
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: that could come in and be a pass catcher. And then,

274
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: as we discussed last hour, Pittsburgh is letting Johnny Smith

275
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: back into the two years ago for two he caught

276
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: eighty four balls. You don't think that had something to

277
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: do with the malfunction of that offense this year down

278
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: from Mike McDaniel and company. Hey, what happened You got

279
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: rid of that guy that lived over the middle. Oh okay,

280
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 3: they'll get a stud number one. And I don't mean

281
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: like they'll get number one receiver, like they'll they'll make

282
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: a move. They'll get a stud number one stud running

283
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: back you go and free agency. Go well, okay, Alec

284
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: Pierce too, Alec Pierce is in the stud. When Alec

285
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: Pierce is your best wide receiver out there, Okay, you

286
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: gotta make a move.

287
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: You got But they're gonna they're freeing up money to

288
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: get somebody that there. Maybe it's an AJ Brown type

289
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: trade to that. Hey, we have the money for you.

290
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: It's already said, we know your contract. You're good coming in.

291
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna fit well with what we're doing here offensively

292
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: with Patrick telling you, man, that's why you had to

293
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: get them last year, because it's gonna be a whole

294
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: new thing for them this year. Let's go AFC West,

Speaker 1: single night. So before we get to the big NFL Store,

327
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: which I think the most bizarre story of the day, Look,

328
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: obviously we lost a legend today in college football head

329
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: coached Lou Holtz, who passed away at the age of

330
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: eighty nine, And we talked about him earlier in the

331
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: show where Look, the two things he's got to get

332
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: credit for was he brought Notre Dame back, and Notre

333
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Dame is where it is now because of him, The

334
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: continued excellence of ESPN's college football coverage. Him and Lee

335
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: Corso the two guys for the past thirty some odd

336
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: years that have been the lightning rods and also the

337
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: touchstones for their coverage. I mean, what he did with

338
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: the College Football Final was incredible. But you know, when

339
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: you think about him, because it's been a while since

340
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: he's been on the sideline, right, you know the thing

341
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: people forget a little bit. Oh yeah, came out of

342
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: retirement to coach South Carolina. Took him to a Bowl

343
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: game in two thousand. Right, he only coached at Notre

344
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: Dame for a decade, Right, that is it like he

345
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: left like in the middle of his of a big run.

346
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: Like okay, in his first three years, Okay, it was

347
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: a national championship. First four years, two national championship games. Hey, man,

348
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: you know Lou Holtz is, Hey, he's got to go.

349
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: But then four years later, okay, I'm done and still

350
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: stayed with the game. Came out a retirement, and you

351
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: know when when he said, I felt like I had

352
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: I had, I had gone as far as we could.

353
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: I didn't want to just keep it going like he

354
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: wasn't doing anything, but I'm keeping note but getting it

355
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: back to where it was Like that's what made it

356
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: fun for him, That's what made it, uh, his his

357
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: coaching worthwhile, which is why Hey, I'm gonna go and

358
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna raise up South Carolina. And I did it. Okay,

359
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: now I'm getting I don't want to do it anymore.

360
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: On the sideline and recruiting, so I'm gonna be on

361
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: TV on ESPN for the better part of twenty years, right, like,

362
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: like people forget he wasn't there for for that long.

363
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: It was a decade of Lou Holtz at at at

364
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. And you know the things I remember when

365
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: when you think about Lou Holtz, the memories I have

366
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: of him, and everybody's got their different ones. One that

367
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: comes to mind all the time is that he was

368
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: ahead of his time when it came to being savvy,

369
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: when it came to cameras and knowing when he was

370
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: going to be on TV and when he wasn't right,

371
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: because two things stick out for me. One is when

372
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: they were playing West Virginia for the National Championship, which

373
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: when they won, right they won in nineteen eighty nine.

374
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: They beat Major Harris. My god, he was so good.

375
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: He could throw the football one hundred and fifty yards.

376
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: Man Major Harris was so good. And I remember before

377
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: the game they hurt him, like third play of the

378
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: game he separated his shoulder. He stayed in like that

379
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: might have been a different game. Now, people forget the

380
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: starting quarterback National Championship game. They separated his shoulder and

381
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: he still played and they won thirty four to twenty one.

382
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: But you know, it was a game. Maybe it would

383
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: have been closer. There was video that was leaked or

384
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: came out though, like four or five days before the game,

385
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: where he was giving Notre Dame a pep talk and

386
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: he said, this is what's going to happen. We're gonna

387
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: run the football in the second quarter, and we're gonna

388
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: use and we're gonna do this and this and this,

389
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: and by the time we get to the ten minute

390
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: mark of the third quarter, they're gonna be tired. They're

391
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna be exhausted. They've never played in a game like

392
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: this before. And we are gonna control the line of

393
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: scrimmage and our drives are gonna be long, and they're

394
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: not gonna get back on the field. And all the

395
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: stuff he said is exactly what happened in the game, right,

396
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: It's about and this. You know, he knows when the

397
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: cameras are on when he's given them a speech. But

398
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: the fact that this leaked, I think that was Louholtz

399
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: doing a little bit of gamesmanship, like he knew he knows,

400
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: all right, Hey, I don't know, I don't know when

401
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: the camera's right now he knows when he's talking to

402
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: a team and these guys with the camera filming stuff,

403
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: and that I was like, remember he was like right

404
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: on the line with it. And the other thing is

405
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: always that and this is this is my big thing

406
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: with lu Holtz is that every time Notre Dame would

407
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: score a touchdown, right, they would cut away to him

408
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: on the sideline and he would always do the same thing.

409
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: He would he would walk down the sideline really like

410
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: he would strut down the sideline Notre Dame's celebrating, and

411
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: he would put his his number one finger up in

412
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: the air like like we're number one, ostensibly telling his

413
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: team we're going for one, we're not going for two.

414
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: But he knows the camera is on him and him

415
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: walking down the sideline, we're number one coming off it

416
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: like he did that like a coach doesn't need to

417
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: go down the sideline and show everybody we're going you

418
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: send the kicking team out there, we're gonna go. Hey,

419
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna if I tell the quarterback stare at

420
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: the field side, so it's like, oh, Lou Holtz, they're

421
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna go for one. Of course, are going foot. He

422
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: knows the camera is on him. He enjoys that part

423
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: of it. He puts that image out there of Notre Dame,

424
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: We're the best. Every touchdown one one, one one. Okay.

425
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever saw him once put up

426
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: two fingers. Oh, Holt's gonna go for two. That wasn't

427
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: what he was doing. He was so savvy when it

428
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: came to things like cameras and being on television and

429
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: and pushing himself. That's something that goes by the wayside

430
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: for Lou Holtz is that, yeah, he was. He was

431
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: somebody wasn't just him an old school coach and I

432
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: don't get all this new fangled stuff going on. Nah,

433
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: he pretty much got what it was and where college

434
00:19:58,920 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: football was at well.

435
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: He knew we're the power was and in terms of

436
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: being you talk about that speech and later the years

437
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 3: in television, but certainly with Notre Dame again growing up there,

438
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: the history of it was just so powerful Midwest. But

439
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 3: now you you have more televised games, you have the

440
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: growing burgeoning run of what ESPN would would become that

441
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: you're looking at all, right, now we can own this.

442
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: It became a recruiting tool, the thing you would tire

443
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 3: of It's like, yeah, I can get him on there

444
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: in their homes with these big games, these big moments.

445
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 3: And if I do this a lot, I have a

446
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: tired shoulder.

447
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah oh yeah.

448
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 3: Either that or I'm doing the Roman reigns before Roman reigns.

449
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: Acknowledge me. I mean brilliant. Just think about that optic

450
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: of the sidelines going crazy, He's walking down going We're

451
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: number one, and how many kids just seeing that. I

452
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: want to go play for that game, but I want

453
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: to go play.

454
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 3: South Bend is is a weird little place. It is

455
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: a special little sigh. I encourage everybody to get there

456
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: for a game. It is a very different experience. That's

457
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: my next phase as my kids go to college is

458
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: to get back to a lot of these college environments

459
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 3: that I haven't seen but South Bend. To get back

460
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 3: there for another game. And when they're good, it is.

461
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: A whole other world.

462
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: And low Holds brought them back to that level of

463
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: prominence where the expectation, sorry Gary Barnett, expect victory kind

464
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 3: of thing. But you look at all those and you

465
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: look at the tributes being put up by his former

466
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 3: players today, you know, talking about some of those big

467
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 3: moments those big speeches and rallying them, you know, from

468
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: Tim Brown and Jerome Bettison down the line. It's that

469
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 3: that's the part of it for me, the love of

470
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 3: college football, like professionally, NFL has taken over the landscape

471
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 3: all over. But I think of when my brothers and I,

472
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: you know, college football was king Saturday afternoons were wall

473
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 3: to wall, readying to do a card show or whatever.

474
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: But watching all of this of and just you know,

475
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 3: taking that all in and Notre Dame at prominence. While

476
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: it did create a lot of folks that were fans

477
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: that had no affiliation to the school whatsoever, it still

478
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: was was that kind of a unifying thing within the city.

479
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: Rest in peace. Lou Holtz eighty nine years old. We'll

480
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: have more on him coming up a little bit in

481
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: fact and half hour. We're going to talk about the

482
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: National Championship. He didn't win, one of the most debated

483
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: plays in the history of college football. But I promise

484
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: this because this is the most bizarre story NFL story,

485
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: and it doesn't involve the Raiders. No, no Raiders, no Jets.

486
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: I'd like to say no Raiders, no Jets, no Browns,

487
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: because those are the three teams where you say okay, crazy, okay,

488
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: no Raiders, no Jets, but it is Browns. I remember

489
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: it is. It is Browns. Unfortunately, Miles Garrett, the reigning

490
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: NFL Defensive Player of the Year, issued a citation for

491
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: speeding after he was clocked going ninety four in a

492
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: seventy mile per hour zone on the Interstate in Ohio

493
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: last month. This story breaks today court record. Somehow it

494
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: was found out, so it was going ninety four and

495
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: a seventy. It is Garrett's ninth speeding ticket since entering

496
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: the league in twenty seventeen nine, so pretty much once

497
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: a year he is good for a big time speeding ticket.

498
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: See this one.

499
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: I would have tried to excuse saying he was high

500
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: on love and had made the decision that he has

501
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: had his pulse racing, that he was gonna, you know,

502
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: go in and ask for the Chloe Kim's hand in marriage.

503
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 3: So that would be the excuse. I can't explain away

504
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: the other eight you know.

505
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: No, And that's the thing is that this is not

506
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: look for someone who would say, well, everybody speeds, Yeah,

507
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: everybody on the freeway when you're driving. If it's fifty

508
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: five miles an hour and you're going sixty five. Oh yeah, traffick,

509
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, But these speeding tickets for miles Garrett, this

510
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: is ninety five and a seventy right, last two Chloe

511
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: Kim goes faster on the snow blo, oh my good,

512
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: and high and higher gets higher, one hundred miles per

513
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: hour in a sixty mile per hour zone. Last summer.

514
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: Right in twenty twenty two, he got in the car

515
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: accident left him with that shoulder injury and a bicep

516
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: strain after his car went off the side of the

517
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: road and flipped over. Right, that's where he was doing

518
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: I think seventy and a forty five mile per hour

519
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: speed limit. Like this is not where hey, in traffic

520
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: trying to get home, I'm ten or ten miles over

521
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: the speed limit. This is one thirty in the morning, midnight,

522
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm going forty miles an hour over the speed limit.

523
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: And you know that if he's been doing it from

524
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: still getting tickets, you know he's doing it all the time.

525
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: He's just not getting caught alltime. But it's like holding

526
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You can call holding all the time.

527
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: You not going to catch a guy's speeding all the time,

528
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: that's for sure. You would think at some point, especially

529
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: after the twenty twenty two accident, that Miles Garrett would

530
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: have go, Okay, can't do that again, right, can't do

531
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: that again. I got hurt my car. You know, my

532
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: car was in bad shape and flipped over. That's a

533
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: scary thing. Okay, not gonna do it, but it's okay.

534
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna do this. He strikes me as a

535
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: guy seeing him talking. I'm not just saying this, throwing

536
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: this out there. Like seeing him talk and how he

537
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: carries himself over the course since he's come into the league,

538
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: he strikes me as someone that he's not gonna take

539
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: advice from anybody. He's not someone who, hey, if someone

540
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: says something to him, yeah, you're right, I should think

541
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: about that.

542
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 5: Like.

543
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: He strikes me as a I have all the answers.

544
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing, and I'm gonna continue to

545
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: do stuff like this again. You would think after a

546
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: big accident, I get the if you're speeding, you get tickets.

547
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: What do I ca? I'm a football player. I'll make

548
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: my side. All I gotta do is pay this down

549
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: and I'll eventually leave my license, but after an accident

550
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: you would think, Okay, I can't do that anymore. And

551
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: he's still doing it. You got to think at some point,

552
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: like someone's got to say, dude, how do you think

553
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: this is gonna end? Well? How do you think speeding

554
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: like this is gonna end? Well? Right? I mean I

555
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: and it's it's just that again. If it was, hey,

556
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 1: seventy five and a sixty five six five, this is

557
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 1: forty fifty miles an hour over the speed limit, or

558
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: going thirty miles an hour over speed limit where you

559
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: really can't on on narrow highways or roadways like you

560
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: would think at some point the light would go on,

561
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: but it hasn't. In this situation, somebody be able to

562
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: tell them, hey, uh, you know, maybe you want to

563
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: take it easy, maybe you want to have somebody else drive,

564
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: or if you want to drive, hey, let's go out

565
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,239
Speaker 1: to the roadway and you can you can do like

566
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: one of those experiences where you can drive sports.

567
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 3: You just get out.

568
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, there's a place I just found this

569
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: out out in Ontario, which is uh, which is where

570
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: they have you know, uh, the California five hundred, the

571
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: big You can do a drifting class, Like you can

572
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: go to a class where a driver a safe environment

573
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: teaches you how to drift in a car, and you

574
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: can learn how to how to how to drift. I'm like,

575
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: that sounds pretty cool, but that's in a controlled environment

576
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: with a professional you're doing.

577
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: We get a film cruise, then you can make it

578
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 3: part of your your real man and maybe get your

579
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 3: self into the re reboot I was an inevitable reboot

580
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 3: of The Fast and the Fury is.

581
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: Put in a parking curage like that was in The

582
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: Fast and Fear. It's like, hey, we got to save money.

583
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: We don't have the budget. We're gonna have all this

584
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: take place in the parking cross. Oh okay, you figure

585
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: it out. That's that's the safe thing, right. You can

586
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: go do things like that if you really want to

587
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: drive fast and that. Okay, I want to go try

588
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: this drifting thing. But this is I mean nine tickets.

589
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: So you know he's driving like this. You know he's

590
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: continuing to drive like this.

591
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 3: Well, but it's like anything and a lot of folks

592
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: in your life think think about it. Wherever you're listening,

593
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: we appreciate you being part of the extended family. Look

594
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: around the room, look in the mirror wherever you gotta

595
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: go of folks that that are flirting with danger right

596
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 3: in any respect. What they're eating, uh, drinking, the the

597
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 3: way they approach their jobs and stretch boundary, like, there's

598
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 3: a million ways that you can do this. And if

599
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 3: you've always had success, it's it's a larger extension of

600
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 3: what we've been talking about with players and and needing

601
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: to ramp up their their prettyduction, their preparation, et cetera.

602
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 3: If you haven't had to, and you've you've gotten through,

603
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 3: then it usually takes something really dramatic. In his case,

604
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: he had the accident, he came back and one defensive

605
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 3: player of the year, so like, all right, that didn't

606
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 3: stop me. So and around him, you hit a point

607
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 3: where a lot of folks are are afraid to tell

608
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: you no, right, especially if they're all on payroll.

609
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: Because you got a lot of folks on that thing.

610
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: Is I get you feel invincible. You're supposed to when

611
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: you're an athlete like Miles Garrett. You're supposed to feel invincible.

612
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: When you're thirty years old, you're supposed to feel invincible.

613
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: But when you have an accident and okay, that could

614
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: have gone really bad a lot of different ways. Sure,

615
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: still gonna do it, Like wow, man, that's that's that's it.

616
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: Everybody's got to have that moment where they realize, all right,

617
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: maybe maybe this wasn't the greatest thing.

618
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: But it's part of how some folks are wired. I mean,

Speaker 3: Low chart if there was one.

725
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: So congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys for staying on the

726
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: hamster will they've been on for the better part of

727
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: the last twenty five year. The Cowboys today redid the

728
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: contracts of all of their star players. I think they

729
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: redid whatever money they're still paying to Roger Stallback, uh

730
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb, A couple of others redid their deals.

731
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: They have a couple of others on the docket to

732
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: redo their deals. Quentin Williams as someone else. They were

733
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: fifty five million dollars over the salary cap. By redoing

734
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: these deals, now they are they saved themselves sixty five

735
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: million dollars. So now they're ten million dollars under the

736
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: salary cap, which means, hey, good luck getting a free

737
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: agent would be a backup tackle. Now they say there's

738
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: more coming again, because there's more guys that want to

739
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: redo their deals. But this goes on the heels of

740
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones saying we're gonna be the most aggressive we've

741
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: been in free agency. Okay, now you hear this and

742
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: it all sounds great, but not that I want to

743
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: be the wet blanket guy for the Cowboys. But I'll

744
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: be that guy. Uh, it really doesn't matter because the

745
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: cow again, the cow Boys are on a hamster wheel

746
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: that they've been running for the better part of the

747
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: last thirty years. They don't know how to build a

748
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: roster at all. Jerry Jones has no idea how to

749
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: build a roster. They're awful at free agency, right awful

750
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 1: at free agency. They never are able to go out

751
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: and get difference makers to come in. It's always, hey,

752
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna go out with the lower level and the

753
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: second third wave of free agency. Not that you build

754
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: a team on free agenc. But you gotta hit on

755
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: some pretty good guys. Freegency is a big part of

756
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: the game. Now, man, Yes, you have to draft well,

757
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: but you gotta go out be able to say, hey,

758
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna fit a big need for us here.

759
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: Because it's not like it wasn't the old days of

760
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: free agency where well, this guy's older, we're not gonna

761
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: sign him. He's looking to get someplace else. No, you

762
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: can only spend so much money on different players. You

763
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: gotta be good at freegency. The Cowboys are not good

764
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: at free agency. They are good at the top level

765
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: spending on the on the top level for their team.

766
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: But they can't they can't build. They can't build a

767
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: full roster, right, They no high impact players in free agency.

768
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: They prioritize the wrong positions. Let's go get a defensive

769
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: tackle instead. Let's not worry about defensive end. Right, let's

770
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: not where. We don't need Micah Parsons or Lawrence to

771
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: two guys in the Pro Bowl. No, no, let's go

772
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: get a defensive tackle.

773
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 5: Like.

774
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: You don't need to spend that kind of money on

775
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle. You spend your money on your edge guys, guys,

776
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: and get to the quarterbacks, right, you don't need You

777
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: can't pay two wide receivers thirty five million dollars a year.

778
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: You can't do it. You can pay one guy. You

779
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: can pay one guy with a guy like CD Lamb.

780
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: Sure you pay sif you can't pay two receivers. Thirty

781
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: five million dollars year. That's what they're gonna do with

782
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: with with pickings. If they wind up keeping him not

783
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: signing him. You can't do that. No one else does that.

784
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is the closest team. And look at them, right, Oh,

785
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: we paid t Higgins, we paid Jamar Chase. Okay, well

786
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: where are they as far as Super Bowl contenders can go? Right? No,

787
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 1: they don't know how to build a roster. Now Dallas

788
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: is gonna go out and not and putting the cherry

789
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: on top of this Sunday for the Cowboys. You say, Okay,

790
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 1: they're off at free agency. They prioritize the wrong positions,

791
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: and they're gonna go out and overpay in one of

792
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: the worst free agent classes we have seen in the NFL.

793
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: So now they're gonna go and spend all kinds of

794
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 1: money whatever they have on guys are gonna be way overpaid. Again.

795
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: All I gotta go back and tell you is that

796
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce's number one receiver in free agency, They're gonna

797
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: go spend all kinds of money on guys. Now, we're

798
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: gonna go do this the worst timing possible. He could

799
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: have spent money any other free agency period, Hey would

800
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: make our team better, will make the defense better because

801
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: the defense they have needs everywhere except for defensive tackle.

802
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: Everywhere they have needs, and they're gonna go out and

803
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: spend money in a bad free agency class. So yeah,

804
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: it's great they got under the cap, but it's gonna

805
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: be the same thing for the Cowboys. Same thing.

806
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 3: They've got a bunch of draft picked a couple of

807
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 3: first rounders that they'll be able to work with. But

808
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 3: as so long as you don't have a football guy

809
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: at the top of the chart to work with the

810
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 3: Joneses and change the messaging in the room, well you're

811
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 3: gonna keep running to the same results. And again, you know,

812
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 3: I back it out to the while they haven't had

813
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl success and the height on top of

814
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 3: the mountain here, they year to year have been better

815
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 3: than our respective teams for these past thirty years, if

816
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 3: you talk about double digit win seasons and at least

817
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 3: being in the conversation of a good team, we.

818
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: Haven't had a lot of that.

819
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 3: But for the Cowboys, you know, the standard was set

820
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 3: in the nineties, so you're always chasing what Jimmy Johnson

821
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 3: had built. When you had a guy that had some authority.

822
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 3: You look at it, now, have you got six million

823
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: dollars six to seven million off the last estimation of

824
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 3: what they have available. No matter how many guys you

825
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 3: re up with, it doesn't matter. And now, based on this,

826
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 3: George Piketts is gonna make seven million dollars more than

827
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: ceedee lamb. Yeah, that'll go over well for a guy

828
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 3: who was hit or missed for a good chunk elast

829
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 3: year in George Pickens Plus's history. Sure, let's do that. Congratulations,

830
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 3: Javonte Williams came back. But beyond that, you still have

831
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 3: to rebuild and reconstitute an entire defense. Good luck, I

832
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 3: mean again, it's great, it's great, But the cow it's
