00:02:27,428 --> 00:02:30,868
Speaker 1: It's almost it's almost like an adjacent Kirk Cobain Nirvana,

61
00:02:30,988 --> 00:02:32,548
Speaker 1: like in a different type of avenue.

62
00:02:32,588 --> 00:02:33,508

Speaker 2: To the the how about it? Can you imagine that's

65
00:02:38,828 --> 00:02:39,468

00:02:43,988 --> 00:02:47,108
Speaker 4: Up on NFL dot com right now, Sam Patch ranked.

69
00:02:46,868 --> 00:02:49,188
Speaker 3: The best new veteran quarterback wide.

70
00:02:48,948 --> 00:02:52,268
Speaker 4: Receiver combos for the upcoming twenty twenty three season, and

71
00:02:52,388 --> 00:02:54,108
Speaker 4: coming in right behind.

72
00:02:53,908 --> 00:02:56,388
Speaker 3: Four time MVP Aaron Rodgers, paired.

73
00:02:56,148 --> 00:03:00,628
Speaker 4: With Garrett Wilson, is Lamar Jackson, and another MVP in

74
00:03:00,708 --> 00:03:04,668
Speaker 4: Odell Beckham junior. Lamar spoke yesterday about having Obi and

75
00:03:04,708 --> 00:03:07,548
Speaker 4: how long it'll take to feel comfortable in new offensive

76
00:03:07,548 --> 00:03:11,508
Speaker 4: coordinator Todd Monkin's system.

77
00:03:11,508 --> 00:03:13,348
Speaker 7: Odella's a legend to a lot of us. You know

78
00:03:13,628 --> 00:03:15,708
Speaker 7: what he did, he did his early in his career,

79
00:03:15,788 --> 00:03:17,348
Speaker 7: and you know the past year when he was with

80
00:03:17,348 --> 00:03:19,108
Speaker 7: the Rams and stuff like that. You know, Odell is

81
00:03:19,188 --> 00:03:21,628
Speaker 7: him on one of those guys, so it means a lot.

82
00:03:21,708 --> 00:03:26,508
Speaker 7: I think he looked pretty smooth. Chris routes, great hands,

83
00:03:26,908 --> 00:03:29,028
Speaker 7: as everybody know. You know, he can catch the ball.

84
00:03:30,428 --> 00:03:32,708
Speaker 7: Looked pretty good out there. G rules offense. It didn't

85
00:03:32,708 --> 00:03:34,908
Speaker 7: take that take that long. I think I believe twenty

86
00:03:34,948 --> 00:03:37,748
Speaker 7: nineteen that's when he got the OC job. And you know,

87
00:03:38,068 --> 00:03:40,428
Speaker 7: I feel like we went fourteen to two, and of

88
00:03:40,468 --> 00:03:42,108
Speaker 7: course Todd Monk and I don't know, the sky's the

89
00:03:42,108 --> 00:03:42,908
Speaker 7: limit with this offense.

90
00:03:42,948 --> 00:03:48,828
Speaker 4: We're gonna see Chris pans great routes. That is Odell

91
00:03:48,868 --> 00:03:51,828
Speaker 4: Beckham junior with Baltimore ravens. Lamar says, the sky's the

92
00:03:51,868 --> 00:03:53,988
Speaker 4: limit for this offense. So he's got a new deal,

93
00:03:54,108 --> 00:03:59,308
Speaker 4: a new offensive coordinator, and two new wide receivers, one veteran,

94
00:03:59,868 --> 00:04:00,788
Speaker 4: one new one.

95
00:04:00,948 --> 00:04:01,628
Speaker 3: A young guy.

96
00:04:01,948 --> 00:04:05,468
Speaker 4: Is the stage now reset at the first time you've

97
00:04:05,508 --> 00:04:08,188
Speaker 4: done this? Is it reset for Lamar Jackson to return

98
00:04:08,308 --> 00:04:10,228
Speaker 4: to his MVP form this season?

99
00:04:10,588 --> 00:04:12,468
Speaker 6: I think so, And I think when you talk about

100
00:04:12,548 --> 00:04:15,148
Speaker 6: MVP awards and stuff for Lamar Jacksons like I came,

101
00:04:15,228 --> 00:04:17,148
Speaker 6: I saw a conquered he did that before. I don't

102
00:04:17,148 --> 00:04:20,148
Speaker 6: really care about MVPs at this point. For Lamar Jackson's

103
00:04:20,148 --> 00:04:23,668
Speaker 6: about unlocking another side of his game, and that is

104
00:04:23,708 --> 00:04:25,788
Speaker 6: the passing game. Only one time has he gone over

105
00:04:25,828 --> 00:04:28,748
Speaker 6: three thousand yards and he only has the one playoff win.

106
00:04:28,988 --> 00:04:31,908
Speaker 6: So yesterday Mini Camps could going on. I'm looking at

107
00:04:31,948 --> 00:04:34,788
Speaker 6: all the slow motion videos of Odell Beckham walking out

108
00:04:34,828 --> 00:04:37,908
Speaker 6: of the locker room, Zayflowers alongside of him, the young

109
00:04:37,988 --> 00:04:40,868
Speaker 6: rookie in the VET learning the game, and it's like

110
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:44,108
Speaker 6: Lamar said, Sky's the limit and now there's a whole

111
00:04:44,108 --> 00:04:45,708
Speaker 6: point where now they have to take the next step,

112
00:04:45,788 --> 00:04:47,948
Speaker 6: learn the offense and all of those different things. But

113
00:04:48,068 --> 00:04:49,988
Speaker 6: for all the nay say are saying Lamar Camp throwing

114
00:04:49,988 --> 00:04:52,028
Speaker 6: the ball, all he does is run. Won't you guys

115
00:04:52,028 --> 00:04:55,068
Speaker 6: to take a look at the receivers throughout Lamar's tenior

116
00:04:55,148 --> 00:04:57,268
Speaker 6: in Baltimore. Some of the guys he was throwing the

117
00:04:57,308 --> 00:04:59,468
Speaker 6: ball to. They have thrown a lot of names, a

118
00:04:59,508 --> 00:05:02,388
Speaker 6: lot of people at the wide receiver issues that have

119
00:05:02,508 --> 00:05:05,868
Speaker 6: gone on in Baltimore, and none have been able to

120
00:05:06,028 --> 00:05:08,748
Speaker 6: really stick. So I look at this as an opportunity

121
00:05:08,748 --> 00:05:10,788
Speaker 6: for Lamar to get his new weapons, to get a

122
00:05:10,788 --> 00:05:13,228
Speaker 6: guy like Odell Beckham, who some may say, all right,

123
00:05:13,228 --> 00:05:15,468
Speaker 6: he's passes prime is just a big name, But this

124
00:05:15,508 --> 00:05:17,988
Speaker 6: is a guy who's hungry right now. Obviously, the last

125
00:05:17,988 --> 00:05:19,588
Speaker 6: time we saw him was in the Super Bowl where

126
00:05:19,628 --> 00:05:21,748
Speaker 6: he was on his way to becoming the Super Bowl

127
00:05:21,828 --> 00:05:24,428
Speaker 6: MVP before he goes down with a knee injury, and

128
00:05:24,428 --> 00:05:26,588
Speaker 6: that there has been so many people talking. I can't

129
00:05:26,588 --> 00:05:28,788
Speaker 6: wait to see these guys take the field, see what

130
00:05:28,868 --> 00:05:31,908
Speaker 6: Jay Flowers can do. And don't forget about Mark Andrews,

131
00:05:31,908 --> 00:05:34,308
Speaker 6: the guy in the middle who's done a ton for them.

132
00:05:34,508 --> 00:05:38,148
Speaker 6: The receivers unit last year for Baltimore was one of

133
00:05:38,188 --> 00:05:40,948
Speaker 6: the worst in the NFL, and now you're getting a

134
00:05:40,948 --> 00:05:43,108
Speaker 6: brand new makeover. So I'm excited to see what these

135
00:05:43,148 --> 00:05:45,708
Speaker 6: guys can do and how much they can elevate Lamar's game.

136
00:05:46,148 --> 00:05:48,708
Speaker 5: Now, even for me, I feel like he's gotten paid.

137
00:05:48,868 --> 00:05:50,868
Speaker 5: You know, that's one of the biggest things we were

138
00:05:50,908 --> 00:05:54,428
Speaker 5: worried about with him and his office shoulders. So the

139
00:05:54,468 --> 00:05:56,388
Speaker 5: next thing they always worry about. They kept saying, Oh,

140
00:05:56,428 --> 00:05:59,468
Speaker 5: he needs key players around him to help him. And

141
00:05:59,548 --> 00:06:01,508
Speaker 5: I feel like with a guy like Odell's going to

142
00:06:01,508 --> 00:06:05,788
Speaker 5: help him tremendously man his talent, his attitude, what he

143
00:06:05,868 --> 00:06:07,988
Speaker 5: brings brings to the game. You know, even the rest

144
00:06:07,988 --> 00:06:10,548
Speaker 5: of the guys as they flowers, what I've seen in

145
00:06:10,588 --> 00:06:14,788
Speaker 5: college a little bit quick fast, it's nobody that the

146
00:06:14,948 --> 00:06:16,508
Speaker 5: home run from them at the end of the day.

147
00:06:16,588 --> 00:06:20,028
Speaker 5: So those guys have all the talent. Everything is just

148
00:06:20,028 --> 00:06:24,988
Speaker 5: all about putting them together right now, mashing, getting that rhythm,

149
00:06:25,348 --> 00:06:28,748
Speaker 5: and the sky's the limit. Like Lamar said, you.

150
00:06:28,708 --> 00:06:31,308
Speaker 1: Know, I wonder you've known so many guys have played

151
00:06:31,308 --> 00:06:34,668
Speaker 1: against him, played with him. Who get they secured the bag,

152
00:06:34,748 --> 00:06:35,628
Speaker 1: they get the big deal.

153
00:06:35,908 --> 00:06:37,948
Speaker 2: How does that affect them? Because you can go one

154
00:06:37,948 --> 00:06:38,468
Speaker 2: of two ways.

155
00:06:38,468 --> 00:06:40,868
Speaker 1: Either I'm comfortable now they believe in me, or like,

156
00:06:41,108 --> 00:06:43,388
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe my motivation is gone a little bit.

157
00:06:43,428 --> 00:06:45,588
Speaker 1: Like typically when you get something, gets that big of

158
00:06:45,588 --> 00:06:46,668
Speaker 1: a deal, how does that affect them?

159
00:06:46,708 --> 00:06:47,868
Speaker 2: Psychological as athletes.

160
00:06:47,948 --> 00:06:48,788
Speaker 5: It depends on a guy.

161
00:06:48,988 --> 00:06:49,588
Speaker 2: Yeah you know.

162
00:06:49,908 --> 00:06:55,388
Speaker 5: Uh, the money might motivate him, the money might keep

163
00:06:55,428 --> 00:06:59,388
Speaker 5: them comfort, yeah you know, but my whole heart, I

164
00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:02,148
Speaker 5: feel like some guys they come from nothing, so they

165
00:07:02,228 --> 00:07:04,188
Speaker 5: know how to feel. You know, they've been on boat

166
00:07:04,228 --> 00:07:07,468
Speaker 5: tie of the field, well rich and poor. So I

167
00:07:07,588 --> 00:07:11,428
Speaker 5: rest on the side where rich, keep working, progressing each

168
00:07:11,468 --> 00:07:12,908
Speaker 5: and every day, getting better.

169
00:07:13,028 --> 00:07:17,108
Speaker 1: You know, That's what it is. I hear that. Well,

170
00:07:17,388 --> 00:07:19,788
Speaker 1: we're asking about Lamar is an MVP. I'm gonna do

171
00:07:19,828 --> 00:07:22,148
Speaker 1: a quick round the table right now. I have the

172
00:07:22,228 --> 00:07:25,068
Speaker 1: DraftKings odds for MVP this year, all right.

173
00:07:25,388 --> 00:07:27,028
Speaker 2: And it's one through ten.

174
00:07:27,828 --> 00:07:29,908
Speaker 1: A lot of good quarterbacks right now, a lot of

175
00:07:29,948 --> 00:07:33,628
Speaker 1: good AFC quarterbacks. Where do you think right now? Lamar

176
00:07:33,908 --> 00:07:36,308
Speaker 1: is one through ten. Patrick Mahomes is one. We're do

177
00:07:36,348 --> 00:07:38,988
Speaker 1: you think he is one through ten on the MVP

178
00:07:39,228 --> 00:07:40,628
Speaker 1: odds for twenty twenty three?

179
00:07:40,788 --> 00:07:44,028
Speaker 2: Jason, you go first. I'm gonna go with five. Five,

180
00:07:44,028 --> 00:07:44,988
Speaker 2: But I'm at five, all.

181
00:07:44,908 --> 00:07:47,548
Speaker 1: Right, Jamie, I was going to go eight, You go eight.

182
00:07:47,988 --> 00:07:49,948
Speaker 1: What do you think one through ten Mahomes is one?

183
00:07:50,268 --> 00:07:54,348
Speaker 1: Think of all Alan Burrow hurts Herbert.

184
00:07:53,908 --> 00:07:57,508
Speaker 5: Like, there's a lot of guys but there's no one

185
00:07:57,548 --> 00:07:58,028
Speaker 5: like Lamar.

186
00:07:58,148 --> 00:07:59,468
Speaker 2: Okay, so you go two.

187
00:08:02,628 --> 00:08:06,748
Speaker 5: If Lamar can get yeah, yeah he's two or three,

188
00:08:06,868 --> 00:08:07,508
Speaker 5: two or three.

189
00:08:08,948 --> 00:08:11,308
Speaker 2: Lamar's fifth, he's right there.

190
00:08:11,668 --> 00:08:16,388
Speaker 1: The only guy you got Mahomes, Burrow, Hurtz, and Allen.

191
00:08:16,548 --> 00:08:18,708
Speaker 1: Those are the only guys ahead of them. So we

192
00:08:19,148 --> 00:08:21,068
Speaker 1: champion a lot of these. The Rogers return to New

193
00:08:21,148 --> 00:08:24,468
Speaker 1: York and the Justin Herbert inevitable coronation we keep waiting for.

194
00:08:24,788 --> 00:08:26,948
Speaker 1: He is still right there at number five, and I

195
00:08:27,028 --> 00:08:32,748
Speaker 1: think he should be healthy, happy, wealthy, supported. Just remember this,

196
00:08:33,548 --> 00:08:36,028
Speaker 1: The MVP is about three things. You have to have

197
00:08:36,068 --> 00:08:39,668
Speaker 1: astronomical statistics these days, which he can do. You have

198
00:08:39,748 --> 00:08:42,068
Speaker 1: to win, and that's going to be massive for him.

199
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:44,068
Speaker 1: Like the Bengals are there, the Steelers are there. No

200
00:08:44,108 --> 00:08:46,348
Speaker 1: one wins the MVP if they sneak into the wild

201
00:08:46,348 --> 00:08:49,188
Speaker 1: card or missed the playoffs. But then three, you have

202
00:08:49,268 --> 00:08:51,828
Speaker 1: to have a story, and that's it shouldn't.

203
00:08:51,388 --> 00:08:52,708
Speaker 2: But you do believe me.

204
00:08:52,868 --> 00:08:54,588
Speaker 1: They wanted to give it to Jalen Hurts so bad

205
00:08:54,668 --> 00:08:56,028
Speaker 1: last year he got hurt and wouldn't let him and

206
00:08:56,068 --> 00:08:58,988
Speaker 1: went to Mahomes. The repeat champions. I think they're loath

207
00:08:59,068 --> 00:09:01,428
Speaker 1: to do unless it's undeniable. Lamar has a story, he

208
00:09:01,468 --> 00:09:03,628
Speaker 1: has a fantastic story. It's a few years since his

209
00:09:03,708 --> 00:09:07,348
Speaker 1: last one. The offseason, the contract that it's all there.

210
00:09:07,748 --> 00:09:09,988
Speaker 1: The only ingredient that I'm not sure if he's going

211
00:09:10,068 --> 00:09:12,348
Speaker 1: to do yet is an ingredient number two. You cannot

212
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,908
Speaker 1: be eight to nine and whin the MVPH just doesn't happen.

213
00:09:15,148 --> 00:09:18,268
Speaker 1: You got to have twelve wins, thirteen wins. It's got

214
00:09:18,308 --> 00:09:20,228
Speaker 1: to be undeniable. I don't know if the Ravens are

215
00:09:20,268 --> 00:09:22,348
Speaker 1: good enough for that yet, I really don't. He's good,

216
00:09:22,428 --> 00:09:25,228
Speaker 1: he's talented, he has a story. You're not winning anything

217
00:09:25,308 --> 00:09:28,948
Speaker 1: unless you have double digit wins easily walking in the playoffs.

218
00:09:29,228 --> 00:09:31,228
Speaker 4: I thought the exact same thing I looked at the

219
00:09:31,308 --> 00:09:33,708
Speaker 4: last time, because I really felt like the last eighteen

220
00:09:33,748 --> 00:09:36,868
Speaker 4: months for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens has been very uncomfortable. Frankly,

221
00:09:36,908 --> 00:09:39,068
Speaker 4: I have a bit of a PTSD from watching it

222
00:09:39,108 --> 00:09:41,708
Speaker 4: all unfold and feeling what is happening in that building

223
00:09:41,788 --> 00:09:43,108
Speaker 4: or not happening in that building.

224
00:09:43,628 --> 00:09:45,148
Speaker 3: So the bounceback has to happened.

225
00:09:45,148 --> 00:09:48,188
Speaker 4: The last time the Ravens won their division was in nineteen.

226
00:09:48,228 --> 00:09:50,228
Speaker 4: They did it in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen. I

227
00:09:50,348 --> 00:09:52,508
Speaker 4: just really cute board full screen to show you all

228
00:09:52,508 --> 00:09:54,948
Speaker 4: the wide receivers that were on that team. Instead, we

229
00:09:54,988 --> 00:09:56,468
Speaker 4: came up with something more fascinating.

230
00:09:56,468 --> 00:09:57,348
Speaker 2: Not the cute one, not.

231
00:09:57,308 --> 00:09:59,108
Speaker 3: The cute one, not the que We already saw what.

232
00:09:59,068 --> 00:10:00,108
Speaker 5: Your names read over a lot.

233
00:10:00,308 --> 00:10:03,388
Speaker 4: So remember maybe a month ago, Kyle, you were talking

234
00:10:03,388 --> 00:10:06,748
Speaker 4: about how blasph it was that the Chicago Bears did

235
00:10:06,788 --> 00:10:09,228
Speaker 4: not have a four thousand yard passing quarterback.

236
00:10:09,308 --> 00:10:10,628
Speaker 2: They've never in their history, never there.

237
00:10:10,668 --> 00:10:12,668
Speaker 1: They're the only team who doesn't have win in NFL

238
00:10:12,708 --> 00:10:13,748
Speaker 1: history of four thousand yards.

239
00:10:13,788 --> 00:10:16,148
Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to maybe match you with this concept,

240
00:10:16,188 --> 00:10:19,548
Speaker 4: which is the Baltimore Ravens have never in their history

241
00:10:19,628 --> 00:10:22,148
Speaker 4: twenty seven years had a Pro Bowl wide receiver.

242
00:10:22,508 --> 00:10:23,308
Speaker 3: They've never done it.

243
00:10:23,428 --> 00:10:25,708
Speaker 4: They are the only team to not have a Pro

244
00:10:25,948 --> 00:10:31,268
Speaker 4: Bowl wide receiver because in twenty seven straight the Panthers.

245
00:10:31,308 --> 00:10:33,148
Speaker 4: The last guy to do it was Steve Smith, and

246
00:10:33,188 --> 00:10:36,028
Speaker 4: that was they won eleven seasons without it. The Bears

247
00:10:36,068 --> 00:10:39,348
Speaker 4: went niceis without it. They had Alshon Jeffergrannar's never had.

248
00:10:39,428 --> 00:10:40,148
Speaker 3: Isn't that crazy?

249
00:10:40,308 --> 00:10:42,108
Speaker 4: So you you gave a side eye, You were like,

250
00:10:42,188 --> 00:10:44,308
Speaker 4: I am not sure about this, but I trust Rich

251
00:10:44,348 --> 00:10:48,708
Speaker 4: Goldberg emphatically with this information are esteemed researcher, So I.

252
00:10:48,748 --> 00:10:51,628
Speaker 5: Know I thought Tory at least.

253
00:10:51,828 --> 00:10:53,628
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought maybe An Kwon.

254
00:10:54,668 --> 00:10:56,508
Speaker 1: I'm thinking Cadre is May. I'm going back to the

255
00:10:56,508 --> 00:10:59,508
Speaker 1: missile like that. Twenty seven years. They went seven years.

256
00:10:59,588 --> 00:11:01,948
Speaker 2: This is way longer than Lamar. This goes back to

257
00:11:02,068 --> 00:11:03,948
Speaker 2: Dilford and Bowler and all those rights.

258
00:11:03,828 --> 00:11:05,628
Speaker 4: Which it does kind of go hand in hand though,

259
00:11:05,628 --> 00:11:07,828
Speaker 4: with how many receivers he's had to play with in

260
00:11:07,868 --> 00:11:10,228
Speaker 4: his tenure and just how they are going to rely

261
00:11:10,388 --> 00:11:12,508
Speaker 4: on the way Lamar plays. But he's got to make

262
00:11:12,548 --> 00:11:14,508
Speaker 4: a couple of these guys great and they have to

263
00:11:14,548 --> 00:11:16,988
Speaker 4: win in order for this to be an MVP season.

264
00:11:17,028 --> 00:11:20,228
Speaker 1: It's crazy because you're not even saying all pro saying pros. Listen,

265
00:11:20,628 --> 00:11:22,588
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback of the Ravens was in the Pro

266
00:11:22,628 --> 00:11:25,588
Speaker 1: Bowl last year, Snoop was. He is playing. He's not

267
00:11:25,668 --> 00:11:27,388
Speaker 1: even the all time starter. But they haven't had a

268
00:11:27,388 --> 00:11:30,108
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I think they have to do it now, right, Yeah,

269
00:11:30,108 --> 00:11:31,828
Speaker 1: I mean they have a great tight end. Mark Andrews

270
00:11:31,828 --> 00:11:33,988
Speaker 1: never gets enough hype of these conversas he's so good

271
00:11:34,228 --> 00:11:36,748
Speaker 1: Welldell Andrews is amazing.

272
00:11:36,428 --> 00:11:39,108
Speaker 4: Right, come on, so maybe this is the year they

273
00:11:39,148 --> 00:11:41,108
Speaker 4: got a couple of candid break that streak.

274
00:11:41,188 --> 00:11:43,828
Speaker 2: I know, right, I say the Bears are doing outside.

275
00:11:43,908 --> 00:11:44,868
Speaker 2: Jeffrey was the last one.

276
00:11:44,908 --> 00:11:46,388
Speaker 3: That's a long time, right exactly.

277
00:11:49,028 --> 00:11:51,668
Speaker 8: I will sell them more with our buddy Leonard Fournette

278
00:11:51,708 --> 00:11:54,468
Speaker 8: in mere moments. But first some news and the Chiefs

279
00:11:54,468 --> 00:11:58,188
Speaker 8: are wrapping up mandatory Mini camp today, but before heading

280

00:12:04,668 --> 00:12:08,908
Speaker 8: at a ceremony tonight. Speaking of the Chiefs, tied end

283
00:12:08,908 --> 00:12:12,628
Speaker 8: Travis Kelcey, entering his eleventh season with no plans on

284
00:12:12,708 --> 00:12:16,868
Speaker 8: retiring anytime soon. When asked how much longer he plans

285
00:12:16,908 --> 00:12:19,348
Speaker 8: on playing, the thirty three year old Kelsey's saying quote

286
00:12:19,748 --> 00:12:23,508
Speaker 8: until the wheels fall off. Kelsey coming off a season

287
00:12:23,508 --> 00:12:26,588
Speaker 8: that saw him finish with a career high twelve touchdowns

288
00:12:26,628 --> 00:12:31,188
Speaker 8: in the regular season. Bill's wide receivers to Fawn Diggs

289
00:12:31,268 --> 00:12:34,108
Speaker 8: on the practice field for day two of Mandatory Mini

290
00:12:34,148 --> 00:12:37,268
Speaker 8: Canna for missing Tuesday's session for unknown reasons.

291
00:12:37,548 --> 00:12:37,948
Speaker 2: It was a.

292
00:12:37,908 --> 00:12:39,668
Speaker 9: Situation that Bill's had CoA.

293
00:12:39,748 --> 00:12:46,388
Speaker 8: Shan McDermott initially called concerning, but he clarified things on Wednesday.

294
00:12:47,188 --> 00:12:50,228
Speaker 10: Let me be clear, Steph did everything that he was

295
00:12:50,268 --> 00:12:53,348
Speaker 10: asked to do. He was here Monday and executed his

296
00:12:53,428 --> 00:12:59,908
Speaker 10: physical on time. Steph reported yesterday Tuesday and reported for meetings,

297
00:12:59,988 --> 00:13:06,188
Speaker 10: at which time we had a good conversation, great communication,

298
00:13:06,508 --> 00:13:09,548
Speaker 10: and we got to a point yesterday where we just

299
00:13:09,548 --> 00:13:12,028
Speaker 10: felt like we all needed a break and some space.

300
00:13:12,308 --> 00:13:14,548
Speaker 10: You guys need to understand Steph's a valuable member of

301
00:13:14,588 --> 00:13:17,148
Speaker 10: this football team. He's one of our captains and a

302
00:13:17,188 --> 00:13:20,668
Speaker 10: leader on this football team. He works extremely, extremely hard,

303
00:13:20,748 --> 00:13:22,828
Speaker 10: as hard as any player I've been around, to be

304
00:13:22,948 --> 00:13:25,908
Speaker 10: elite in this league, and that's what he is, and

305
00:13:25,948 --> 00:13:28,828
Speaker 10: I love him so just I want to make sure

306
00:13:28,828 --> 00:13:32,828
Speaker 10: that you guys understand what really the situation was.

307
00:13:32,908 --> 00:13:33,428
Speaker 1: And is.

308
00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:35,508
Speaker 2: Now.

309
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:38,988
Speaker 8: We still don't really know what this situation was, but

310
00:13:39,028 --> 00:13:42,948
Speaker 8: I guess everything appears to be Kumbaya in Buffalo, and

311
00:13:43,028 --> 00:13:47,148
Speaker 8: maybe it's Kumbaya in the studio. After jmak flexed on Lenny,

312
00:13:47,548 --> 00:13:51,348
Speaker 8: I don't know if Lenny then DMD or texted Jmack.

313
00:13:51,508 --> 00:13:53,948
Speaker 8: I don't know the situation there exactly. There has been

314
00:13:53,988 --> 00:13:56,828
Speaker 8: a commercial break, there was a news update. Have the

315
00:13:56,868 --> 00:13:59,988
Speaker 8: two of you resolved everything in the studio.

316
00:14:01,268 --> 00:14:04,668
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've been able to resolve it all where fan only,

317
00:14:04,708 --> 00:14:06,228
Speaker 6: so we stick together no matter what.

318
00:14:06,268 --> 00:14:09,188
Speaker 2: There was concerns. We had to sit down conversation.

319
00:14:08,988 --> 00:14:09,868
Speaker 5: And it is all good.

320
00:14:10,028 --> 00:14:11,268
Speaker 2: Players only meeting players.

321
00:14:12,788 --> 00:14:18,708
Speaker 4: They're both they're both here and they are fulfilling their

322
00:14:18,788 --> 00:14:20,948
Speaker 4: duties responsibly for Good Morning Football.

323
00:14:20,988 --> 00:14:21,868
Speaker 3: Will thank you so much.

324
00:14:21,908 --> 00:14:23,788
Speaker 4: Also, I want to clarify that I don't think you

325
00:14:23,868 --> 00:14:26,508
Speaker 4: flexed physically on Lenny. I think you flexed at the

326
00:14:26,548 --> 00:14:28,348
Speaker 4: camera and Lenny was like in the vicinity.

327
00:14:28,468 --> 00:14:30,908
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a smart man. He's still playing football. I

328
00:14:30,588 --> 00:14:33,108
Speaker 6: want no parts of that. So no flexing on that.

329
00:14:33,188 --> 00:14:33,708
Speaker 3: All right? Good?

330
00:14:34,628 --> 00:14:37,268
Speaker 4: Here we go Day two talking about Stefon Diggs and

331
00:14:37,308 --> 00:14:41,188
Speaker 4: his presence at Mandatory Mini Camp. We got some clarification

332
00:14:41,268 --> 00:14:44,508
Speaker 4: from Sean McDermott there on what really went down on Tuesday,

333
00:14:44,828 --> 00:14:46,308
Speaker 4: the fact that he was in the.

334
00:14:46,268 --> 00:14:48,188
Speaker 3: Building present, fulfilled what he needed to.

335
00:14:48,228 --> 00:14:50,508
Speaker 4: Everyone seemed to be panicked that he did not get

336
00:14:50,548 --> 00:14:51,508
Speaker 4: out on the practice field.

337
00:14:52,148 --> 00:14:54,308
Speaker 3: Kyle, the face you're making right now, I really want

338
00:14:54,348 --> 00:14:54,508
Speaker 3: to know.

339
00:14:54,548 --> 00:14:58,388
Speaker 4: After hearing those comments from Sean McDermott concerns about the situation.

340
00:14:58,708 --> 00:15:02,188
Speaker 3: Still, it's just confusion.

341
00:15:01,708 --> 00:15:02,188
Speaker 2: A little bit.

342
00:15:02,228 --> 00:15:02,548
Speaker 3: Still.

343
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:04,628
Speaker 2: I think if I know coach.

344
00:15:04,628 --> 00:15:06,348
Speaker 1: McDermott and it comes on the show all the time,

345
00:15:06,628 --> 00:15:09,268
Speaker 1: he probably wants to have that sound bite back about

346
00:15:09,388 --> 00:15:12,388
Speaker 1: I'm very concerned because that really led the story. That

347
00:15:12,508 --> 00:15:14,948
Speaker 1: was literally the headline that was may so intrigued. The

348
00:15:14,948 --> 00:15:17,388
Speaker 1: head coach of Standy is really concerned. It wasn't well,

349
00:15:17,388 --> 00:15:18,948
Speaker 1: we got a player's a little upset and work it out.

350
00:15:18,988 --> 00:15:21,308
Speaker 1: The head coach is standing, They're saying, very concerned. And

351
00:15:21,348 --> 00:15:23,588
Speaker 1: then a day later he's trying to put the toothpaste

352
00:15:23,588 --> 00:15:25,428
Speaker 1: back in the two. It's fine, nothing happened.

353
00:15:25,428 --> 00:15:27,388
Speaker 2: He's here. We love them, We love well, you know, coach.

354
00:15:27,828 --> 00:15:31,388
Speaker 1: We were concerned that you were concerned. So this is

355
00:15:31,428 --> 00:15:33,108
Speaker 1: one of these things that Lenny, you can speak to

356
00:15:33,188 --> 00:15:38,028
Speaker 1: really well. Professional athletes are complicated. Sometimes the relationships are complicated.

357
00:15:38,228 --> 00:15:40,628
Speaker 1: Something happened behind the scenes that has nothing to do

358
00:15:40,668 --> 00:15:42,868
Speaker 1: I don't think with football, and had to do with

359
00:15:42,948 --> 00:15:45,948
Speaker 1: Josh and coach and the player Steph. And he was

360
00:15:46,028 --> 00:15:48,148
Speaker 1: upset and I don't know, maybe through a little fit

361
00:15:48,268 --> 00:15:49,908
Speaker 1: or wanted to just have his pound of flesh by

362
00:15:49,948 --> 00:15:50,868
Speaker 1: not being there for something.

363
00:15:51,628 --> 00:15:53,508
Speaker 2: Then yesterday I look go online and.

364
00:15:53,628 --> 00:15:55,668
Speaker 1: He and Josh were doing their signature handshake and they're

365
00:15:55,708 --> 00:15:58,028
Speaker 1: running around, they're tweeting each other. I think it's fine,

366
00:15:58,108 --> 00:15:59,788
Speaker 1: but it's more intriguing than anything.

367
00:15:59,788 --> 00:16:00,588
Speaker 2: What's your gut on it?

368
00:16:00,988 --> 00:16:04,348
Speaker 5: Once again, like we say yesterday, it's an anheuse situation.

369
00:16:04,468 --> 00:16:06,788
Speaker 5: And you know, sometimes you don't let you don't let

370
00:16:06,868 --> 00:16:09,708
Speaker 5: the business get out outside of the facility. You know,

371
00:16:10,148 --> 00:16:12,628
Speaker 5: right now they have to figure it out. You know,

372
00:16:12,668 --> 00:16:16,588
Speaker 5: the season is closer than what you think. For them

373
00:16:16,628 --> 00:16:19,828
Speaker 5: to win, they have to put whatever mess they have

374
00:16:19,908 --> 00:16:22,028
Speaker 5: to the side. And I know Stefan personally, he's a

375
00:16:22,028 --> 00:16:24,388
Speaker 5: great guy. I love being around him, and to me,

376
00:16:24,428 --> 00:16:26,268
Speaker 5: I just felt he wants to win, you know. But

377
00:16:26,348 --> 00:16:28,148
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, if someone's not happy

378
00:16:28,188 --> 00:16:29,988
Speaker 5: at some place, they have to do what's best for them,

379
00:16:30,268 --> 00:16:32,388
Speaker 5: for their lives, their family, and for their careers. So

380
00:16:32,908 --> 00:16:35,828
Speaker 5: right now, I don't know what's going on. I'm not

381
00:16:35,868 --> 00:16:37,548
Speaker 5: a part of the team, but I wish the best

382
00:16:37,588 --> 00:16:39,308
Speaker 5: for everyone over there.

383
00:16:39,348 --> 00:16:43,108
Speaker 1: But you're talking broad things here, like he's in their contracts,

384
00:16:43,108 --> 00:16:44,548
Speaker 1: He's get paid a lot of money. He's like one

385
00:16:44,588 --> 00:16:46,468
Speaker 1: of the most important players. We're just saying, Ah, they're

386
00:16:46,508 --> 00:16:49,028
Speaker 1: mad at each other. You're saying, like you're talking about

387
00:16:49,108 --> 00:16:51,028
Speaker 1: other teams and changes and things like that.

388
00:16:51,108 --> 00:16:53,068
Speaker 2: Is that something you smell in the air? I hope now.

389
00:16:53,228 --> 00:16:57,108
Speaker 5: I mean you just never know, because usually when there's

390
00:16:57,188 --> 00:17:00,228
Speaker 5: that such of a bad stench going on, that usually

391
00:17:00,228 --> 00:17:02,748
Speaker 5: what happens. You know, and I understand, you know they're

392
00:17:02,748 --> 00:17:04,748
Speaker 5: paying them this amount of money, but if you're not

393
00:17:04,788 --> 00:17:08,428
Speaker 5: happy somewhere, you have to best for.

394
00:17:08,388 --> 00:17:12,628
Speaker 6: You, especially personality wise. And I think you hear Sean

395
00:17:12,708 --> 00:17:15,028
Speaker 6: McDermott talk and he's like, he was here yesterday, and

396
00:17:15,148 --> 00:17:18,228
Speaker 6: you're like, well, how big is the building that buffalo

397
00:17:18,308 --> 00:17:21,148
Speaker 6: is in? Because he sounded like they couldn't find him yesterday.

398
00:17:21,188 --> 00:17:23,908
Speaker 6: So it's just like if he was there, where was he?

399
00:17:23,988 --> 00:17:26,668
Speaker 6: And I think, to your point, Kyle, everything McDermot said

400
00:17:26,708 --> 00:17:28,028
Speaker 6: yesterday and then you follow.

401
00:17:27,748 --> 00:17:30,068
Speaker 2: It up what he said now he's back.

402
00:17:30,148 --> 00:17:32,428
Speaker 6: We see the clips of practice all of those different things,

403
00:17:32,508 --> 00:17:35,268
Speaker 6: and we often say like a football team is a family,

404
00:17:35,308 --> 00:17:37,628
Speaker 6: so we get in there, we figure it out, But

405
00:17:37,748 --> 00:17:40,388
Speaker 6: the football team's not a family. To your point, Leonard,

406
00:17:40,668 --> 00:17:42,828
Speaker 6: I have people in my family that I wish I

407
00:17:42,868 --> 00:17:44,868
Speaker 6: could get rid of but you're just stuck with them

408
00:17:44,908 --> 00:17:48,908
Speaker 6: no matter what the circumstances are. Yeah, dev included, and

409
00:17:48,948 --> 00:17:50,268
Speaker 6: there's a lot more where.

410
00:17:50,028 --> 00:17:53,028
Speaker 2: That comes from. But there's within a team.

411
00:17:53,148 --> 00:17:56,108
Speaker 6: If it's not working, you do find ways where guys

412
00:17:56,148 --> 00:17:57,988
Speaker 6: are no longer on the team. And what we've seen

413
00:17:58,028 --> 00:18:00,668
Speaker 6: transpire over the years, whether it's basketball, whether it's football,

414
00:18:00,908 --> 00:18:02,948
Speaker 6: guys are deciding that they don't want to be with

415
00:18:02,988 --> 00:18:05,668
Speaker 6: a team anymore and they're forcing their way out. But

416
00:18:05,748 --> 00:18:08,428
Speaker 6: Stefan Diggs is a really good football player. And Bill

417
00:18:08,508 --> 00:18:09,708
Speaker 6: used to say it all the time, and I heard

418
00:18:09,748 --> 00:18:12,868
Speaker 6: Von Miller say it about Stefan Diggs is everybody's going

419
00:18:12,948 --> 00:18:15,188
Speaker 6: to be treated fairly, but we're not all going to

420
00:18:15,228 --> 00:18:18,668
Speaker 6: be treated the same. We watched Dennis Robmin talk about

421
00:18:18,708 --> 00:18:20,948
Speaker 6: in the finals in the NBA him having to leave

422
00:18:20,988 --> 00:18:23,548
Speaker 6: the team because he needed a break. They welcome them

423
00:18:23,588 --> 00:18:25,788
Speaker 6: back with open arms because he was going to help

424
00:18:25,868 --> 00:18:28,868
Speaker 6: them win a championship. Stefan Diggs may go through whatever

425
00:18:28,868 --> 00:18:31,468
Speaker 6: he's going through. He's a really good football player. They

426
00:18:31,508 --> 00:18:33,828
Speaker 6: know him, they know his personality, they know how he

427
00:18:33,908 --> 00:18:35,868
Speaker 6: takes in a whole nine. You welcome him back with

428
00:18:35,948 --> 00:18:38,148
Speaker 6: open arms, and you go out there with one common

429
00:18:38,188 --> 00:18:39,708
Speaker 6: goal to win a championship.

430
00:18:39,828 --> 00:18:41,428
Speaker 2: Whether you all get along well or.

431
00:18:41,468 --> 00:18:43,708
Speaker 6: Best friends, none of that matters, and we can all

432
00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:46,268
Speaker 6: come together, work towards his common goal, put our best

433
00:18:46,308 --> 00:18:48,468
Speaker 6: foot forward, and try to win a championship. That's what's

434
00:18:48,468 --> 00:18:50,748
Speaker 6: most important. I think for that reason, they're going to

435
00:18:50,788 --> 00:18:52,428
Speaker 6: be able to continue the season and be okay.

436
00:18:52,668 --> 00:18:55,788
Speaker 4: I find this situation very tricky because, and I kind

437
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,708
Speaker 4: of inched toward this yesterday, I'm going to keep inching

438
00:18:57,748 --> 00:19:00,668
Speaker 4: towards it, which is I find it a bit unfair

439
00:19:00,828 --> 00:19:03,468
Speaker 4: that because Stefan Diggs is not out there telling his

440
00:19:03,668 --> 00:19:05,428
Speaker 4: side and he's not the one at the podium, that

441
00:19:05,508 --> 00:19:08,748
Speaker 4: he's the one being labeled like, oh he's throwing a

442
00:19:08,788 --> 00:19:11,348
Speaker 4: hissy fit. Oh he's the one that's causing problems and

443
00:19:11,428 --> 00:19:14,628
Speaker 4: he's not showing up. And just because Josh Allen is

444
00:19:14,668 --> 00:19:16,908
Speaker 4: the one who's out there at all the charity events

445
00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:19,868
Speaker 4: and then People Magazine and going out on the podium

446
00:19:19,908 --> 00:19:21,348
Speaker 4: and saying I love you Steph, I love you Steff,

447
00:19:21,428 --> 00:19:24,348
Speaker 4: that somehow Stefan Diggs is the one with the actual problem.

448
00:19:24,388 --> 00:19:25,748
Speaker 3: This could be a mutual issue.

449
00:19:25,788 --> 00:19:27,508
Speaker 4: And just because your quarterback is the one that can

450
00:19:27,548 --> 00:19:30,588
Speaker 4: go out and you know, preach adoration for the wide receiver.

451
00:19:30,828 --> 00:19:32,308
Speaker 3: That means that Josh Allen's off the hook.

452
00:19:32,428 --> 00:19:35,388
Speaker 4: I just really caution everybody from being like, man, Stefan,

453
00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:38,668
Speaker 4: he didn't he didn't show up. He may have had

454
00:19:38,668 --> 00:19:40,868
Speaker 4: an issue with somebody and taken the high road in

455
00:19:40,908 --> 00:19:43,348
Speaker 4: this circumstance, and be like, I don't think it's best

456
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:45,788
Speaker 4: for anybody if I go out there, So I'm going

457
00:19:45,828 --> 00:19:48,148
Speaker 4: to take one for this team in this moment. Yet,

458
00:19:48,188 --> 00:19:50,388
Speaker 4: because he's not the one telling his side of the story,

459
00:19:50,468 --> 00:19:53,068
Speaker 4: everyone's jumping on his case and all because of one

460
00:19:53,148 --> 00:19:55,148
Speaker 4: video of him being passionate on the sideline in a

461
00:19:55,148 --> 00:19:57,868
Speaker 4: playoff game in January. Now he's like the high maintenance,

462
00:19:57,868 --> 00:20:00,428
Speaker 4: emotional one. I really really caution against that, I think

463
00:20:00,508 --> 00:20:04,228
Speaker 4: because he years from now we might find out crazy

464
00:20:04,588 --> 00:20:07,228
Speaker 4: about Josh Allen or Sean McDermott and be like, well, wow,

465
00:20:07,308 --> 00:20:09,468
Speaker 4: remember when Steffan Diggs was doing X, Y and Z.

466
00:20:10,068 --> 00:20:11,108
Speaker 3: Makes a little bit more.

467
00:20:10,948 --> 00:20:12,948
Speaker 2: Sense now it does.

468
00:20:13,148 --> 00:20:16,468
Speaker 1: And if you google just google Stefan Diggs you should

469
00:20:16,468 --> 00:20:17,228
Speaker 1: see all the results.

470
00:20:17,308 --> 00:20:20,628
Speaker 2: It's like trade destinations for Steffan Diggs. Ultimate Raven should

471
00:20:20,628 --> 00:20:21,668
Speaker 2: go all in and get Digs.

472
00:20:21,788 --> 00:20:25,508
Speaker 1: The obligatory Cowboys trade destinations for Stefan Diggs. This one

473
00:20:25,548 --> 00:20:29,588
Speaker 1: says Diggs repeating behavior that preceded his trade from the Vikings,

474
00:20:29,628 --> 00:20:32,668
Speaker 1: like it's all trade now. This is where Peter would

475
00:20:32,668 --> 00:20:35,108
Speaker 1: come in and say, it's not impossible, but it would

476
00:20:35,148 --> 00:20:38,188
Speaker 1: be highly, highly difficult for the Bills to trade him,

477
00:20:38,228 --> 00:20:41,228
Speaker 1: just contractually, he has a massive contract. They would take

478
00:20:41,268 --> 00:20:45,348
Speaker 1: a huge hit if the skyfalls and the Bills trade

479
00:20:45,348 --> 00:20:47,668
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs. That would be like, we need to get

480
00:20:47,708 --> 00:20:49,348
Speaker 1: him out of here now because this is going to

481
00:20:49,388 --> 00:20:51,508
Speaker 1: be hugely punitive for us, not to say the least

482
00:20:51,508 --> 00:20:53,588
Speaker 1: of which he's one of the top three players on

483
00:20:53,628 --> 00:20:54,588
Speaker 1: their entire team.

484
00:20:54,788 --> 00:20:55,948
Speaker 2: I hope this doesn't happen.

485
00:20:56,188 --> 00:20:58,108
Speaker 1: You a little concerned, Lenny, Are you concerned that Stefan

486
00:20:58,148 --> 00:20:59,508
Speaker 1: Diggs is not going to play for the Bills anymore?

487
00:20:59,628 --> 00:21:00,228
Speaker 2: I hope not.

488
00:21:00,508 --> 00:21:03,588
Speaker 5: No, I'm picking back on Jamie say about being passionate. Okay,

489
00:21:04,668 --> 00:21:08,108
Speaker 5: I played with a guy that's passionate, Tom Brady, and

490
00:21:08,388 --> 00:21:11,668
Speaker 5: he has his moments on the sideline, and when he

491
00:21:11,708 --> 00:21:15,028
Speaker 5: does it is it's compared different when Stefan did it.

492
00:21:15,468 --> 00:21:16,988
Speaker 5: You know, they take it out of proportion. I mean,

493
00:21:17,028 --> 00:21:19,748
Speaker 5: who wouldn't want to play with a guy that has passion,

494
00:21:19,828 --> 00:21:22,948
Speaker 5: that loved the game, who wants to win. So I

495
00:21:23,308 --> 00:21:26,668
Speaker 5: totally understand them, Steph, because I'm the same way when

496
00:21:27,028 --> 00:21:29,548
Speaker 5: things not going my way. It's frustrating when you work

497
00:21:29,588 --> 00:21:32,468
Speaker 5: your tail off each and every day, each and every week,

498
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:36,868
Speaker 5: and for you not to maybe not get the passes

499
00:21:36,948 --> 00:21:39,068
Speaker 5: you want. So I totally understand you.

500
00:21:42,828 --> 00:21:46,068
Speaker 11: For me, I understand I have one more obligation here,

501
00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:48,788
Speaker 11: one more year that I'm obligated to be here. I

502
00:21:48,908 --> 00:21:50,588
Speaker 11: wanted to go poke around and see if there was

503
00:21:50,588 --> 00:21:53,148
Speaker 11: any other value. If not, right, come back and have

504
00:21:53,268 --> 00:21:55,308
Speaker 11: my last year and like I said before, do what

505
00:21:55,348 --> 00:21:55,988
Speaker 11: I can do here.

506
00:21:58,748 --> 00:22:01,028
Speaker 4: The word obligation is a really heavy one. You know,

507
00:22:01,108 --> 00:22:02,708
Speaker 4: you can take it a lot of different ways. The

508
00:22:02,708 --> 00:22:05,188
Speaker 4: fact that Austin Eckler says he has one more obligation

509
00:22:05,308 --> 00:22:08,428
Speaker 4: to the Chargers reaction Lenny to hearing those comments at Austneckler.

510
00:22:08,948 --> 00:22:13,188
Speaker 5: For me, he's definitely outplayed his contract. Yeah, year in

511
00:22:13,348 --> 00:22:16,348
Speaker 5: year out, he's performed at the highest level of Pro

512
00:22:16,428 --> 00:22:22,348
Speaker 5: Bowl receiving, wise, block and catching. I mean, he's everything

513
00:22:22,348 --> 00:22:26,948
Speaker 5: for that team, and I respect his decision. I respect

514
00:22:27,108 --> 00:22:31,348
Speaker 5: his answer to paid this man, this pam. You know

515
00:22:31,388 --> 00:22:36,508
Speaker 5: he's worth every penny. Give him what he wants about

516
00:22:36,548 --> 00:22:38,068
Speaker 5: the running back market, Give him what he wants.

517
00:22:38,188 --> 00:22:40,068
Speaker 4: What's that thing you always say about Austin Eckler about

518
00:22:40,068 --> 00:22:41,308
Speaker 4: his season last year with the traps.

519
00:22:41,548 --> 00:22:44,548
Speaker 1: I swear I'm not making a joke. I think he

520
00:22:44,548 --> 00:22:47,908
Speaker 1: had eight hundred catches last year. Red zone was just

521
00:22:47,948 --> 00:22:50,108
Speaker 1: the Eckler zone. That's all they would ever do is

522
00:22:50,108 --> 00:22:52,628
Speaker 1: show Austin Eckler. If you turn on a Chargers game,

523
00:22:52,948 --> 00:22:53,868
Speaker 1: he was catching it, he.

524
00:22:53,868 --> 00:22:55,068
Speaker 2: Was scoring, he was running.

525
00:22:55,388 --> 00:22:57,428
Speaker 1: This one's a little different to me because this wasn't

526
00:22:57,468 --> 00:22:59,348
Speaker 1: just some bell Chyle the handed to and her runs

527
00:22:59,428 --> 00:23:01,788
Speaker 1: up like. He was so diverse and so all over

528
00:23:01,828 --> 00:23:04,268
Speaker 1: the field. He was such a matter. He was the

529
00:23:04,428 --> 00:23:06,348
Speaker 1: offense for so many games and so many drives, and

530
00:23:06,348 --> 00:23:09,668
Speaker 1: they're like, eh, we're gonna get another receiver, a tight end.

531
00:23:09,948 --> 00:23:12,068
Speaker 1: This is the crux of it to me, because I

532
00:23:12,108 --> 00:23:15,308
Speaker 1: love Dalvin Cook's game. I the backup running back they

533
00:23:15,308 --> 00:23:16,988
Speaker 1: have the Alexander Madison is a great running back.

534
00:23:16,988 --> 00:23:19,508
Speaker 2: You can probably do somewhere approaching with what Cook does.

535
00:23:19,628 --> 00:23:21,428
Speaker 1: I don't see anybody doing what Eckler does unless they

536
00:23:21,468 --> 00:23:23,708
Speaker 1: bring in Christian McCaffrey like that he is a really

537
00:23:23,788 --> 00:23:27,148
Speaker 1: unique and still they're like it's frustrating, guys.

538
00:23:27,148 --> 00:23:27,908
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say.

539
00:23:27,988 --> 00:23:30,148
Speaker 4: I'm actually curious if Kellen Moore has anything to do

540
00:23:30,188 --> 00:23:31,708
Speaker 4: with this, Like does Kellen Moore come to town?

541
00:23:31,708 --> 00:23:33,668
Speaker 3: And it's just like, we can do better, I can

542
00:23:33,748 --> 00:23:34,268
Speaker 3: change it.

543
00:23:34,308 --> 00:23:36,388
Speaker 4: So then the next guy you get, you don't have

544
00:23:36,468 --> 00:23:38,628
Speaker 4: to pay this man, like if you just keep getting

545
00:23:38,668 --> 00:23:41,068
Speaker 4: young guys, like maybe that was the difference. Maybe if

546
00:23:41,068 --> 00:23:44,108
Speaker 4: their offense didn't change at all, if Kellen Moore had

547
00:23:44,148 --> 00:23:46,788
Speaker 4: never arrived, they would have felt obligated to him. To

548
00:23:46,828 --> 00:23:49,788
Speaker 4: Austin Eckler, but maybe that's the only thing I can.

549
00:23:49,708 --> 00:23:53,628
Speaker 2: Get other day, Like this is like the American dream.

550
00:23:53,788 --> 00:23:55,908
Speaker 1: This is not a guy who is drafted real high.

551
00:23:56,028 --> 00:24:00,188
Speaker 1: He's afterth Awstern, Colorado Western, like the best in shape

552
00:24:00,188 --> 00:24:01,988
Speaker 1: guy in the league. All he does is work out

553
00:24:02,028 --> 00:24:04,468
Speaker 1: and train and prove everyone wrong. And it's like I

554
00:24:04,508 --> 00:24:06,028
Speaker 1: did it, now you didn't, We'll get somebody else.

555
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:08,388
Speaker 6: And I know Austin a little bit. And this is

556
00:24:08,428 --> 00:24:11,868
Speaker 6: the guy that understands the NFL, the business side of it.

557
00:24:12,108 --> 00:24:15,388
Speaker 6: So when he requests the trade, it's like I like la,

558
00:24:15,428 --> 00:24:17,148
Speaker 6: but I want to see what my market is, so

559
00:24:17,188 --> 00:24:19,908
Speaker 6: you go around, you have your agent, call teams and see.

560
00:24:20,068 --> 00:24:21,788
Speaker 2: I think this is maybe less.

561
00:24:21,628 --> 00:24:24,348
Speaker 6: About the office and just more about where running backs

562
00:24:24,388 --> 00:24:26,828
Speaker 6: are today, because if there was a possibility of him

563
00:24:26,828 --> 00:24:28,668
Speaker 6: getting traded and being able to get the money that

564
00:24:28,708 --> 00:24:31,868
Speaker 6: he could possibly get or maybe believe that he deserves,

565
00:24:32,028 --> 00:24:33,788
Speaker 6: he would have been traded, but it didn't happen. I

566
00:24:33,788 --> 00:24:36,108
Speaker 6: think this is Austin saying, you know what, I tried.

567
00:24:36,348 --> 00:24:37,468
Speaker 5: They gave me a little bit more.

568
00:24:37,468 --> 00:24:39,268
Speaker 2: I have another year here. I'm going to go out

569
00:24:39,428 --> 00:24:40,588
Speaker 2: fulfill my year.

570
00:24:40,668 --> 00:24:42,348
Speaker 6: And I'm going back to the market to see if

571
00:24:42,348 --> 00:24:44,748
Speaker 6: there's going to be any more money for me, because

572
00:24:44,788 --> 00:24:46,148
Speaker 6: the Chargers just said to me.

573
00:24:46,308 --> 00:24:47,508
Speaker 2: What they really think of it.

574
00:24:47,548 --> 00:24:50,628
Speaker 6: So I think for Austin, he's just being brutally honest.

575
00:24:50,828 --> 00:24:53,668
Speaker 6: I'm contractually obligated to be here because if I had

576
00:24:53,668 --> 00:24:56,548
Speaker 6: it my way, I'd begetting what I deserve somewhere else.

577
00:24:56,668 --> 00:24:58,028
Speaker 2: But that's not going on right now.

578
00:24:58,348 --> 00:24:59,828
Speaker 4: You know what this reminds me of is that day

579
00:24:59,868 --> 00:25:01,948
Speaker 4: Tom Pellisera was here a conversation were a little off

580
00:25:01,988 --> 00:25:03,348
Speaker 4: the rails, but we were trying to come up with

581
00:25:03,388 --> 00:25:06,828
Speaker 4: the different name for our past catching running back and

582
00:25:06,908 --> 00:25:08,548
Speaker 4: Leonard that's going to be your assignment for the next

583
00:25:08,588 --> 00:25:09,908
Speaker 4: day and a half. If you want to come up

584
00:25:09,908 --> 00:25:13,068
Speaker 4: for a different position, name to maybe divide how the

585
00:25:13,108 --> 00:25:16,948
Speaker 4: position is considered and maybe that would change the trajectory solution.

586
00:25:17,388 --> 00:25:18,748
Speaker 3: He said, swingers, and that's where we went on.

587
00:25:18,868 --> 00:25:21,748
Speaker 2: John Taylor holds out, what if.

588
00:25:25,748 --> 00:25:28,548
Speaker 3: Hey, we're back on Good Morning Football. You all know this.

589
00:25:28,908 --> 00:25:32,748
Speaker 4: This offseason has seen multiple NFL players suspended for violations

590
00:25:32,868 --> 00:25:36,748
Speaker 4: of the NFL's gambling policy. So we figured we should

591
00:25:36,748 --> 00:25:38,428
Speaker 4: bring somebody in to help us figure it out, talk

592
00:25:38,468 --> 00:25:40,708
Speaker 4: about it, unpack it a little bit, the news and

593
00:25:40,948 --> 00:25:44,948
Speaker 4: the league's efforts to educate its players on their gambling policy.

594
00:25:45,188 --> 00:25:48,228
Speaker 4: We have NFL's executive vice president of Communications and Player

595
00:25:48,308 --> 00:25:50,348
Speaker 4: Health and Safety, our friend Jeff Miller.

596
00:25:52,908 --> 00:25:54,228
Speaker 9: I always like the introductions.

597
00:25:55,148 --> 00:25:57,988
Speaker 4: Well, you know, you really are able to morph. You

598
00:25:58,028 --> 00:26:00,348
Speaker 4: wear a lot of different hats. We say, you know,

599
00:26:00,388 --> 00:26:02,788
Speaker 4: we have questions. We have questions that we're like, let's

600
00:26:02,788 --> 00:26:03,868
Speaker 4: just get Jeff in here and we're.

601
00:26:03,748 --> 00:26:06,428
Speaker 3: Going to talk about here, you are gambling.

602
00:26:06,508 --> 00:26:09,188
Speaker 4: Let's go for those of you who are not completely

603
00:26:09,228 --> 00:26:12,148
Speaker 4: familiar with it, it's the league's gambling policy.

604
00:26:12,188 --> 00:26:13,548
Speaker 3: And everything that goes along with it.

605
00:26:13,748 --> 00:26:15,988
Speaker 4: What does it entail today, because I know it's taken

606
00:26:16,028 --> 00:26:17,068
Speaker 4: on a lot of different forms.

607
00:26:17,148 --> 00:26:19,068
Speaker 9: Yeah, and there are a few rules associated with it.

608
00:26:19,268 --> 00:26:20,628
Speaker 9: But if you could boil it.

609
00:26:20,628 --> 00:26:22,708
Speaker 12: Down, the two things that we would ask people to remember,

610
00:26:22,748 --> 00:26:25,668
Speaker 12: whether it's be coaches, players, whomever. One, don't bet on

611
00:26:25,708 --> 00:26:28,948
Speaker 12: the NFL. Don't bet a dollar, don't make a prop bet,

612
00:26:29,148 --> 00:26:32,188
Speaker 12: don't bet on the draft, forget it, just don't do it.

613
00:26:32,548 --> 00:26:34,268
Speaker 12: And the second rule would be, don't bet when you're

614
00:26:34,268 --> 00:26:37,068
Speaker 12: at work. Okay, and that work includes traveling for work.

615
00:26:37,148 --> 00:26:38,668
Speaker 12: So if you could boil it down to those two

616
00:26:38,708 --> 00:26:41,228
Speaker 12: things pretty much in a good place, you have any questions,

617
00:26:41,348 --> 00:26:43,508
Speaker 12: if you have any questions about that, as your coach,

618
00:26:43,588 --> 00:26:46,548
Speaker 12: as your general manager, ask your player engagement person and

619
00:26:46,668 --> 00:26:48,028
Speaker 12: just clarify it so we don't run.

620
00:26:47,948 --> 00:26:48,668
Speaker 9: To any problems.

621
00:26:48,868 --> 00:26:49,988
Speaker 3: And this is not just a player thing.

622
00:26:50,108 --> 00:26:53,148
Speaker 4: This is your top to bottom trainers, people that work

623
00:26:53,188 --> 00:26:55,348
Speaker 4: for the teams, like this is everybody.

624
00:26:55,548 --> 00:26:58,468
Speaker 12: This is everybody who touches the game. Obviously, officials and

625
00:26:58,508 --> 00:27:00,108
Speaker 12: coaches and players are the most evident.

626
00:27:00,188 --> 00:27:01,668
Speaker 9: Yeah, but the people in the training room too.

627
00:27:01,708 --> 00:27:04,748
Speaker 12: Because let's say Leonard has a sprained ankle, knows a

628
00:27:04,788 --> 00:27:06,428
Speaker 12: little bit more about what might happen in that game

629
00:27:06,468 --> 00:27:08,228
Speaker 12: than your average person, So that person has to be

630
00:27:08,268 --> 00:27:10,468
Speaker 12: trained and has to be careful, and is also responsible

631
00:27:10,508 --> 00:27:13,188
Speaker 12: for making sure that he handles that information appropriately.

632
00:27:13,908 --> 00:27:17,388
Speaker 1: Includes trainers and talk show hosts as well. Yes, all right,

633
00:27:17,428 --> 00:27:19,708
Speaker 1: so Jamie mentioned this, Jeff. There have been some very

634
00:27:19,788 --> 00:27:22,828
Speaker 1: high profile suspensions because of gambling. Nobody likes to see that,

635
00:27:22,908 --> 00:27:26,628
Speaker 1: but it's very important fans at home explain why the

636
00:27:26,748 --> 00:27:30,348
Speaker 1: punishments are so strong and the feeling of the league

637
00:27:30,388 --> 00:27:33,428
Speaker 1: right now about gambling, specifically about gambling on the NFL.

638
00:27:34,148 --> 00:27:36,748
Speaker 12: We can all agree there's nothing more important for any sport,

639
00:27:37,028 --> 00:27:39,628
Speaker 12: football included, than the integrity of the game. We want

640
00:27:39,668 --> 00:27:41,388
Speaker 12: to make sure we're playing on a level playing field,

641
00:27:41,668 --> 00:27:43,788
Speaker 12: that our fans believe in what's going on, and every

642
00:27:43,828 --> 00:27:46,908
Speaker 12: player can appreciate that, every coach can appreciate that.

643
00:27:47,148 --> 00:27:48,908
Speaker 9: And that's been true for the history of the league.

644
00:27:49,468 --> 00:27:52,268
Speaker 12: Nothing has ever changed as far as that goes about

645
00:27:52,308 --> 00:27:55,828
Speaker 12: that being the number one principle. What has changed since

646
00:27:55,828 --> 00:27:58,908
Speaker 12: the Supreme Court struck down prohibitions on sports gambling five

647
00:27:58,988 --> 00:28:01,148
Speaker 12: years ago is that there's a lot more opportunities for

648
00:28:01,148 --> 00:28:03,788
Speaker 12: people to Gamble. Thirty nine states plus the District of

649
00:28:03,828 --> 00:28:07,108
Speaker 12: Columbia have made sports gambling legal in the last five years.

650
00:28:07,308 --> 00:28:08,908
Speaker 12: You can go on your phone right now and download

651
00:28:08,948 --> 00:28:10,388
Speaker 12: an app and you can bet if you want to.

652
00:28:10,788 --> 00:28:13,748
Speaker 12: So it's not about calling a crusty guy who's your bookie,

653
00:28:14,108 --> 00:28:16,748
Speaker 12: you know, on a weird phone line, you know, secluded,

654
00:28:16,788 --> 00:28:19,868
Speaker 12: trying to keep secret. It's it is widely available and

655
00:28:19,868 --> 00:28:23,788
Speaker 12: pretty much accepted in most places, and so our interest

656
00:28:23,908 --> 00:28:27,108
Speaker 12: is heightened, our concern is heightened because it is more

657
00:28:27,148 --> 00:28:28,868
Speaker 12: socially acceptable than it was before.

658
00:28:28,948 --> 00:28:30,108
Speaker 9: But it's always been the case.

659
00:28:30,268 --> 00:28:32,908
Speaker 12: It's just a matter of dealing with new technologies and

660
00:28:32,948 --> 00:28:33,668
Speaker 12: new availability.

661
00:28:33,908 --> 00:28:36,148
Speaker 6: Do you think that will maybe change the rules going

662
00:28:36,188 --> 00:28:39,068
Speaker 6: forward with the new kind of acceptance of sports gambling.

663
00:28:39,108 --> 00:28:41,428
Speaker 12: I think everything evolves over time, and I think that

664
00:28:41,628 --> 00:28:43,548
Speaker 12: we'll have to be conscious of that, and we'll talk

665
00:28:43,588 --> 00:28:45,628
Speaker 12: to the player certainly. But the two rules that I

666
00:28:45,668 --> 00:28:48,748
Speaker 12: started with, don't bet on football, don't bet when you're

667
00:28:48,748 --> 00:28:49,108
Speaker 12: at work.

668
00:28:49,388 --> 00:28:51,068
Speaker 9: It's pretty pretty simple. Pretty sure.

669
00:28:51,108 --> 00:28:52,348
Speaker 12: It was the same true when you guys were in

670
00:28:52,388 --> 00:28:54,388
Speaker 12: the league or you're in the league, but when you

671
00:28:54,388 --> 00:28:56,628
Speaker 12: you know, over your period of time, I mean, those

672
00:28:56,708 --> 00:28:58,628
Speaker 12: rules have existed long before you were there and will

673
00:28:58,668 --> 00:28:59,348
Speaker 12: exist long after.

674
00:28:59,508 --> 00:29:01,388
Speaker 6: Yeah, and there's always those meetings where you come in

675
00:29:01,428 --> 00:29:02,908
Speaker 6: and it's kind of the gambling meeting.

676
00:29:02,988 --> 00:29:04,188
Speaker 2: You get to sit down and learn.

677
00:29:04,228 --> 00:29:06,548
Speaker 6: And we've heard some guys come out and say like, well,

678
00:29:06,588 --> 00:29:08,668
Speaker 6: I was either wasn't aware of this rule or how

679
00:29:08,708 --> 00:29:11,068
Speaker 6: it worked. How is the league working to educate its

680
00:29:11,148 --> 00:29:12,828
Speaker 6: players and his staff and everybody in between.

681
00:29:12,908 --> 00:29:14,468
Speaker 12: Yeah, you mentioned there's always been the meetings with the

682
00:29:14,508 --> 00:29:16,588
Speaker 12: coaches or somebody who shares the things that you're allowed

683
00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:17,468
Speaker 12: to do and the things that you're.

684
00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:18,068
Speaker 2: Not allowed to do.

685
00:29:18,148 --> 00:29:21,188
Speaker 12: And so it's a little bit common sense, but also

686
00:29:21,308 --> 00:29:24,628
Speaker 12: to enhance some of the education because as I mentioned

687
00:29:24,668 --> 00:29:27,108
Speaker 12: the new opportunities, we've done a couple of additional things.

688
00:29:27,188 --> 00:29:29,788
Speaker 12: In addition to the posters in the locker room and

689
00:29:29,948 --> 00:29:32,428
Speaker 12: the clause in your contract and the player policy all

690
00:29:32,468 --> 00:29:35,188
Speaker 12: those things, we also have for all rookies a mandated

691
00:29:35,188 --> 00:29:37,868
Speaker 12: training course the starting this year, so all rookies coming

692
00:29:37,868 --> 00:29:40,228
Speaker 12: into the league have an appreciation for what they can

693
00:29:40,348 --> 00:29:43,468
Speaker 12: or cannot do. And then our Office of Compliance has

694
00:29:43,468 --> 00:29:45,068
Speaker 12: spend time with a number of the clubs over the

695
00:29:45,108 --> 00:29:47,548
Speaker 12: last few months and will with others just to enhance

696
00:29:47,588 --> 00:29:49,988
Speaker 12: to make sure that the clubs are getting everything that

697
00:29:50,028 --> 00:29:52,748
Speaker 12: they need from us. And now, as you mentioned Jamie

698
00:29:52,788 --> 00:29:54,628
Speaker 12: at the beginning, it's not just the players and coaches.

699
00:29:54,788 --> 00:29:59,228
Speaker 12: This year we will train seventeen thousand people about gambling

700
00:29:59,308 --> 00:30:00,988
Speaker 12: and what their responsibilities are.

701
00:30:01,028 --> 00:30:02,508
Speaker 9: For people who are affiliated with the NFL.

702
00:30:02,588 --> 00:30:04,628
Speaker 12: It takes a lot of work, and so making sure

703
00:30:04,628 --> 00:30:06,348
Speaker 12: that we get the messages out to the right people

704
00:30:06,668 --> 00:30:08,468
Speaker 12: in the right format is really important. It takes a

705
00:30:08,508 --> 00:30:09,268
Speaker 12: lot of time and effort.

706
00:30:09,388 --> 00:30:12,028
Speaker 9: We do it so broadly.

707
00:30:12,068 --> 00:30:15,268
Speaker 5: How does the lead view is fans gambling on the NFL.

708
00:30:15,908 --> 00:30:18,708
Speaker 9: Well, it's a good question. We're not naive.

709
00:30:19,228 --> 00:30:21,228
Speaker 12: People have gambled on the NFL for a very long

710
00:30:21,268 --> 00:30:23,868
Speaker 12: time and other sports too. I mentioned a little bit

711
00:30:23,868 --> 00:30:26,548
Speaker 12: earlier that it's more accessible now than it ever was,

712
00:30:26,948 --> 00:30:29,748
Speaker 12: and that poses some risks too, because there are people

713
00:30:29,748 --> 00:30:32,708
Speaker 12: who have problems with gambling, and so we invest in

714
00:30:32,788 --> 00:30:35,108
Speaker 12: organizations like that they deal with responsible gaming.

715
00:30:35,348 --> 00:30:35,868
Speaker 9: We've spent we.

716
00:30:35,908 --> 00:30:37,868
Speaker 12: Created a coalition with other sports leagues and some of

717
00:30:37,868 --> 00:30:40,428
Speaker 12: the networks are not advertising because it turns out not

718
00:30:40,508 --> 00:30:42,908
Speaker 12: everybody who watches an NFL game really wants to be

719
00:30:42,948 --> 00:30:45,508
Speaker 12: inundated with advertising messages about sports gambling.

720
00:30:45,508 --> 00:30:47,748
Speaker 9: They're not all gamblers, not by a long shot.

721
00:30:48,188 --> 00:30:49,828
Speaker 12: And so we want to make sure that that's tailored

722
00:30:49,828 --> 00:30:51,388
Speaker 12: to the people who want to see it and tailored

723
00:30:51,428 --> 00:30:53,628
Speaker 12: against the people who don't want to see it. And

724
00:30:53,748 --> 00:30:55,028
Speaker 12: we want to make sure that all the fans who

725
00:30:55,068 --> 00:30:57,308
Speaker 12: engage with our games, even in this new world, they're

726
00:30:57,308 --> 00:30:59,508
Speaker 12: doing so on their terms in ways that make them

727
00:30:59,508 --> 00:31:01,308
Speaker 12: comfortable so they can enjoy their Sunday afternoon.

728
00:31:02,788 --> 00:31:04,748
Speaker 4: We had that full screen up of the basic of

729
00:31:04,748 --> 00:31:07,268
Speaker 4: the basic rules. The second one kind of intrigued me

730
00:31:07,308 --> 00:31:09,748
Speaker 4: because and Jason and I have talked about this, Like

731
00:31:10,108 --> 00:31:13,028
Speaker 4: players number two there don't gamble at your team facility.

732
00:31:13,108 --> 00:31:14,908
Speaker 4: Traveling for a road game, we're staying in a team hotel.

733
00:31:15,108 --> 00:31:17,188
Speaker 4: So there's a funny thing that happens where some coaches

734
00:31:17,188 --> 00:31:19,188
Speaker 4: in the league, when you're at home, you're a home game,

735
00:31:19,228 --> 00:31:22,108
Speaker 4: they make you stay at a team hotel. Could a

736
00:31:22,188 --> 00:31:26,308
Speaker 4: coach kind of, you know, reinforce gambling policy for a

737
00:31:26,348 --> 00:31:28,828
Speaker 4: team if you're like at home games, you also need

738
00:31:28,828 --> 00:31:29,948
Speaker 4: to get out of your house and going to a

739
00:31:29,948 --> 00:31:30,468
Speaker 4: team hotel.

740
00:31:30,508 --> 00:31:31,988
Speaker 3: Then does the rule kick into place.

741
00:31:32,548 --> 00:31:34,028
Speaker 12: Well, first of all, I think you always listen to

742
00:31:34,068 --> 00:31:37,468
Speaker 12: your coach yep, rule number one. Number one, You don't

743
00:31:37,868 --> 00:31:39,428
Speaker 12: you don't have to call the league office to find

744
00:31:39,428 --> 00:31:41,548
Speaker 12: out what you should do or not do. But again,

745
00:31:41,668 --> 00:31:44,148
Speaker 12: the same thing is if you're traveling for work or

746
00:31:44,188 --> 00:31:46,148
Speaker 12: you're at work, and in this case, you're at work,

747
00:31:46,148 --> 00:31:49,628
Speaker 12: you don't gamble pretty straightforward, and it's not that hard

748
00:31:49,668 --> 00:31:51,988
Speaker 12: to abide. There's plenty of time in the off season.

749
00:31:51,988 --> 00:31:53,548
Speaker 12: There's plenty of time when you're on your own time.

750
00:31:53,828 --> 00:31:56,548
Speaker 12: If you want to engage in playing blackjack or whatever,

751
00:31:56,668 --> 00:31:58,268
Speaker 12: betting on other sports, or whatever it is that a

752
00:31:58,268 --> 00:32:00,428
Speaker 12: player is allowed to do, then there's time to go

753
00:32:00,508 --> 00:32:02,988
Speaker 12: do that. In the meanwhile, focus on the game, focus

754
00:32:02,988 --> 00:32:04,788
Speaker 12: on being at work. As I like to say, there's

755
00:32:04,828 --> 00:32:06,748
Speaker 12: lots of things you can't do a work that you

756
00:32:06,748 --> 00:32:08,988
Speaker 12: can do at home. That's exactly This is one of them.

757
00:32:09,748 --> 00:32:09,988
Speaker 2: Jeff.

758
00:32:10,028 --> 00:32:12,668
Speaker 1: You know it's not a gamble. Somebody's signing Leonard Fournette.

759
00:32:12,668 --> 00:32:14,508
Speaker 1: Which team do you think should sign Lenny?

760
00:32:14,548 --> 00:32:15,868
Speaker 2: Here? Look at this. There should be.

761
00:32:15,788 --> 00:32:17,988
Speaker 9: Thirty two lines, all of it. I say, all of

762
00:32:17,988 --> 00:32:18,468
Speaker 9: them should be.

763
00:32:18,468 --> 00:32:20,148
Speaker 2: Like I've been trying.

764
00:32:20,268 --> 00:32:22,268
Speaker 4: You know what's very tricky about this time for you, Leonard,

765
00:32:22,348 --> 00:32:24,748
Speaker 4: is that we're all dealing with spam calls left and right,

766
00:32:24,788 --> 00:32:26,548
Speaker 4: like you got to pick up any number that calls you.

767
00:32:26,548 --> 00:32:28,868
Speaker 4: You don't know who's what, cell phone is what like

768
00:32:28,948 --> 00:32:30,788
Speaker 4: that must be a very tricky part of your life.

769
00:32:30,948 --> 00:32:33,428
Speaker 5: It is, well, you know, as part of the process.

770
00:32:34,268 --> 00:32:36,068
Speaker 5: Right now, I'm just joining it like this is this

771
00:32:36,108 --> 00:32:38,388
Speaker 5: is a great experience for me, is being up here

772
00:32:38,428 --> 00:32:40,668
Speaker 5: with y'all, you know, watching out every day when I'm

773
00:32:40,708 --> 00:32:42,548
Speaker 5: at work when I was with Tampa. So this is

774
00:32:42,548 --> 00:32:43,068
Speaker 5: great for me.

775
00:32:43,148 --> 00:32:43,828
Speaker 3: It's incredible.

776
00:32:43,908 --> 00:32:45,988
Speaker 6: It's risky picking up those calls. Could be a family

777
00:32:46,068 --> 00:32:47,268
Speaker 6: or friend asking for some money.

778
00:32:47,348 --> 00:32:50,468
Speaker 4: You never right, right, but it also like could be

779
00:32:50,468 --> 00:32:51,668
Speaker 4: the Seahawks.

780
00:32:51,148 --> 00:32:53,428
Speaker 1: Like you don't know what they're saying that, Jeff, I

781
00:32:53,468 --> 00:32:55,108
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this. For teams that had
