WEBVTT

1
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Well see, and now I'm all confused on that because

2
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 1>I used to know the music, John. I used to

3
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 1>know the countdown to welcome John to all that, and

4
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, are we going live? And then I'm on camera.

5
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I destroyed the entire illusion that we were to create, John,

6
00:00:59.320 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 1>how are you?

7
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm great and I got I'm I can't front on

8
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>that new music. I love the new music. I love it.

9
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 2>I think stream Yard has done a great thing with

10
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>this new music.

11
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>It really chills me out here before we're ready to go.

12
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 1>I do promise, I do promise we are. I think

13
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I've made a better mood today. I certainly couldn't be

14
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 1>in as bad of the move as I was last week.

15
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>But we have a ton of stuff to talk about today.

16
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Markcast Week three. Here ufl or recapin

17

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>hour later today. I appreciate flexibility. I had to go

<v Speaker 1>here in Vegas and then gearing up for WrestleMania weekend

26
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>next weekend. So John, we're going to have a dilemma

27
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 1>here in the minute we'll talk with you about. But yeah,

28
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 1>welcome everyone. Lots of comments, exciting stuff here first of all,

29
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and then I'll do the plugs and said, John, this

30
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>was an a low bar, but the best weekend of

31
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>UFL football we've had.

32
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 2>The first thing I had in my notes, like after

33
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I watched all the games, like was this the best week?

34
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 2>And I think we have to say yes. No, I

35
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 2>mean maybe the bars low, but these were really fun games,

36
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>even the ten to nine Arlington Birmingham game. Was it

37
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>great football?

38
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 3>No?

39
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.199
<v Speaker 2>But was it fun at the end. I mean probably

40
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>not for Arlington fans, but I mean it was wild

41
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 2>and you had you know, we'll talk about them all,

42
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>but you know Memphis and I listen, I had. I

43
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 2>had to wear my Houston rough necks here. They got

44
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 2>the win. I don't know if they'll get another one.

45
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 2>We see J blowing kisses to the crowd. I mean

46
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 2>it was it was a whole vibe down there.

47
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 1>It was good. So we really do have a jam

<v Speaker 1>the week. Here Scott checking in, Hey reading John good evening,

73
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>William's checking in here. What's happening, gentlemen? How about those

74
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 1>DC defenders duel here? I'm surprised John is back to

75
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 1>being quoted on ESPN. Oh did you make it up?

76
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even realize he got me.

77
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 2>I didn't.

78
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Football Talk four ms have picked it up bigger shows.

79
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Amazing to me. That amazing to me. That like, that

80
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 1>was a cool thing to me. And if you looked

81
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>at the comments, it was read, You're the worst person

82
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>in the world. And I'm like, I thought that was

83
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of a cool thing. And then everybody thought I

84
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 1>was apparently the worst person in the world because that

85
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the right You going to Memphis. I'm like, he's

86
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 1>in Memphis this weekend. He doesn't live there. He travels

87
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>to Saint Louis multiple times. Like you want to talk

88
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 1>to a super fan that they're oh, read You're just

89
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the worst. I'm like, right, Well, here's here's the thing.

90
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Both of us have worked in local journalists. We both

91
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>worked in journalism. When you're working on a deadline and

92
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 1>someone says, hey, can you talk to me, and then

93
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 1>the person that you're trying to talk to says, yes,

94
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I can talk to you. They're going to pick up

95
00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the phone right there and talk to you. Because as

96
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 1>our man, uh, as our man analyze and educate, says

97
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 1>Pat says, uh, you know.

98
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>The best ability is availability. And so I was available,

99
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.959
<v Speaker 2>and I was. There was one quote. There was one

100
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 2>quote in that article. And I don't know why people

101
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>got so mad like I was some Battlehawk's poser, but

102
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 2>it was one quote. It is great.

103
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a lot of that all yes, all football, uh whatever,

104
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 1>we all football. That just what is the name of

105
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the website? All folltball gy Just guys getting righten up.

106
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 1>But it's good. It's exciting. So we're going to get

107
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>in everything. We got Mike's we got Mike's say, TV

108
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 1>ratings for the Friday night game that came in. We

109
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>have attendance and then we have a UFL championship location

110
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of all that stuff. John. Here is what we

111
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>we will decide at the end of the show. Here's

112
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.959
<v Speaker 1>the question I'm going to wrestle Innia next weekend. I

113
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>will admittedly not be watching any United Football League action

114
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 1>next week. Uh, we will need to decide if you're

115
00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:01.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna want and I can co host. And now I'm

116
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 1>not promising anything, but I am going to WrestleMania. And

117
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I have not talked to this person with the long time.

118
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 1>People know who I'm talking about, So I don't know.

119
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>If we could work on something when we're in Vegas together.

120
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that could be kind of cool. So you'll

121
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>need to decide. We'll decide, but we could have like

122
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 1>spoiler alert, like I could get Paul Sanchez on next week.

123
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I gotta work on it, but I'm gonna be I mean,

124
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be in the hotel with them. You may

125
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 1>get Paul back on. You got to decide, John, if

126
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>that's worth it. I think people would be exciting and

127
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.600
<v Speaker 1>excited to see. Uh would you do you? Did you

128
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 1>even listen back when Paul was an authors?

129
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Yeah, I'm sure I did. Yeah, John's not excited

130
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>at all. I think no, I think it's great. But

131
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing, A lot of people need to realize.

132
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>This is Easter weekend. So Sunday I was just informed

133
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.079
<v Speaker 2>earlier that I am having dinner with my in laws,

134
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 2>and of course being it's gonna you know, when you

135
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 2>have dinner on the holiday, it has to be at

136
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.439
<v Speaker 2>the weirdest time ever, So it's going to be at

137
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>four thirty Eastern time. So I don't know how much

138
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 2>football I will get in before we do the podcast.

139
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>If we do the podcast, so well, we'll decide, Well,

140
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 1>it will be TVD, but we maybe we'll do it.

141
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 1>We'll do a pow wow. Maybe we'll just shoot the

142
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 1>breeze and hang out and I'll probably be hung over.

143
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:16.279
<v Speaker 1>It could be fun to give me fun.

144
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 2>So there you go.

145
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Last comment here, Read is the heel of the UFL community.

146
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.439
<v Speaker 1>John is the ould school baby. I like that. I

147
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:28.519

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 1>looking at my article. A three percent increase, so I said, I,

151
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I said, Darryl Johnston is probably popping champagne somewhere decent, decent. Uh,

152
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>we're there. I think that's the floor. I think six hundred.

153
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of where we're at. Any I don't need

154
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.319
<v Speaker 1>we don't need to do a deep dive on this today,

155
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>but it kind of thoughts on it. I feel like

156
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>we've discovered kind of where we're at.

157
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know we were you mentioned our boys seth

158
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.319
<v Speaker 2>last uh last week, and he's he's trying to convince

159
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.519
<v Speaker 2>me that these numbers are okay, and I really pushed back.

160
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>We had a lot of discussions back and forth, but

161
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 2>I I think you're right, and I think he's right,

162
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.680
<v Speaker 2>like this is what the number is gonna be, you

163
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>know here, and the good thing is I mean, you know,

164
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>it's it was a Friday night. It was not a

165
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:25.000
<v Speaker 2>great game, so that maybe that is the that's what

166
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be. And if that's what it's gonna be,

167
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that's okay. I really expected more, you know,

168
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 2>going into it, that it would be more than that,

169
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 2>like maybe around the eight hundred thousand of maybe nine

170
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.399
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand mark, and you know, I don't know what

171
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 2>the projections are, and maybe that was just being too optimistic,

172
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.799
<v Speaker 2>but you know, being on Fox on Friday night, I

173
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.159
<v Speaker 2>thought they would they would maybe get some more numbers

174
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.200
<v Speaker 2>than that. So but if that's what it is, it's

175
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.360
<v Speaker 2>what it's. That's what it is.

176
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, and Mike Mitchell right about this as well.

177
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>If you want to see this. His article for the

178
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 1>ratings is always have a UFL and newsub dot com

179
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:57.919
<v Speaker 1>over there with Mark and everything on that Mike's skin.

180
00:08:58.039 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>It kind of balancing some of you know, we get

181
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 1>some of the articles market some of the articles. It's good,

182
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Friday night thing paints a picture, and

183
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:08.639
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe if we get through the halfway point

184
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>of the season, maybe we can, you know, stop down here.

185
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>It's just there has been no apples to apples, even

186
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 1>the kickoff game versus last year's kickoff game and the

187
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 1>Saturday and the Friday and now yeah, we have the

188
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Friday stuff here. I hate the standalone Saturday game. I

189
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>wish the UFL was at a point where we could

190
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 1>do the one Friday double header, Saturday double head Sunday.

191
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I loved the doubleheader Sunday, mostly just because I was

192
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 1>at home. I was I had the Mariners on one screen,

193
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I had the UFL, and then it rolled in today

194
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>like that was awesome. That's what you need. I know.

195
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 1>You've talked a lot about the gap, right kind of

196
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>between the games. You know, you want to tighten that

197
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.320
<v Speaker 1>up and scheduling, but I don't, you know, six hundred

198
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.919
<v Speaker 1>thousand on the round, my point, six hundred thousand for

199
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.519
<v Speaker 1>Fox on a Friday is different than six hundred thousand

200
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>ABC Midday on a Saturday. So I would just like

201
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>to see kind of once we get midway through the

202
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>season and kind of where where the actual network ratings

203
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of balance out, because like the FS what we

204
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 1>we just haven't had a lot of like sample size

205
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 1>this season thus far.

206
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think, Yeah, you know, my concern is, and

207
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:12.480
<v Speaker 2>in fact, there's a comment right here on this thread there.

208
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 2>My concern is, does Fox start to look at this

209
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>and say, we could have put a rerun of Mass

210
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Singer that that aired earlier in the week and probably

211
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 2>gotten the same numbers. So I don't know, you know,

212
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.679
<v Speaker 2>how much they're they're willing to invest. Is it like,

213
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.759
<v Speaker 2>is it going to cost them more to air a

214
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Mass Singer than it would be to put on a

215
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.159
<v Speaker 2>full production on a Friday night. I don't know, So

216
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 2>that's my only concern, But you're you're right, I think

217
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.879
<v Speaker 2>that this is what it's gonna be. I thought they

218
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.639
<v Speaker 2>would do it up a lot more than they did

219
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 2>and make it a presentation and we just really have

220
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 2>not seen that. We did get Kevin Coogler though, so

221
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.159
<v Speaker 2>that was pretty nice. That was a good crew they

222
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 2>had Friday night.

223
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm just looking here because Leon's talking about next weekend,

224
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know again going up again trusting Mania next weekend. Uh,

225
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you know the Friday night game. I hate how they

226
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 1>they guy can scroll here. Let me pull this up

227
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:01.519
<v Speaker 1>just real quick. We'll do schedule step at the end

228
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>on here. But yeah, the Friday game at Ford Field,

229
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 1>Saturday here, twelve thirty midday, right, both of these, so

230
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>twelve thirty and then seven, you're going to begin to

231
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania starting for that night game and then Sunday here

232
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 1>at five, so you're going up. Well, see you also

233
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>had yeah two week to Fox to ABC. What do

234
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>you also have the nineteen million people or whatever Sunday

235
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 1>they watched Rory on The Masters, So I'll be curious

236
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 1>what the doubleheader on Sunday looks like for the.

237
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's what we talked about about. That was

238
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Speaker 2>the main sports competition and I did not realize that,

239
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, when Rory got was in contention there pretty early,

240
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.159
<v Speaker 2>and then it looked like, you know, end up that

241
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.559
<v Speaker 2>final round being pretty good. I was like, oh, this

242
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.000
<v Speaker 2>could be tough for the UFL.

243
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean talk about just just sports drama and

244
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 1>human interest. I mean, I'm not a golf guy, and

245
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I sat there last night watching the recap just like

246
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm holding my phone and then he's walking up,

247
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.159
<v Speaker 1>but I just he just couldn't imagine, just couldn't imagine.

248
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.679
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was really cool. Yeah, lots of comments here.

249
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kind of scrolling through here. Maybe we'll do

250
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:12.759
<v Speaker 1>some comments at the end about all that. So I

251
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:15.799
<v Speaker 1>see Scott and all that just marketing promoting getting the

252
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 1>stuff out of here. But we'll see. I'll be curious.

253
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>You're never gonna have a clean weekend. I joked about

254
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>this a lot when the USFL came in, and well,

255
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.919
<v Speaker 1>April is the best time because nothing's on. And then

256
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the second they hit the Ratians and it was like, well,

257
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, we have golf and then you have women's basketball,

258
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, the draft or what they come up with

259
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>all these you know, every time of year is the

260
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 1>best time of year until it's not.

261
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:44.519
<v Speaker 2>And right, that was Yeah, I mean, I still kind

262
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.559
<v Speaker 2>of leaned toward I really wish they would start in February,

263
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 2>but you know this, this is what we have right now.

264
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:55.080
<v Speaker 2>We could what's golf anyway? So yeah, to me, I

265
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>thought that that February start was almost perfect. It was

266
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.960
<v Speaker 2>certainly perfect when we had almost around football with the NFL,

267
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.679
<v Speaker 2>the XFL, the USFL. Those are the good old days.

268
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh. We got Mike's attendance here so Birmingham the Friday night,

269
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.919
<v Speaker 1>ten thousand on that Memphis right around that forty five

270
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred mark Michigan. You know, we've talked about this and distribution,

271
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.799
<v Speaker 1>and then the Saint Louis that's kind of their base

272
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.759
<v Speaker 1>number there. We've talked a lot about distributed tickets and

273
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.720
<v Speaker 1>all of that. Last week, I will tell you I

274
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 1>thought the Battlehawk's crowd looked very low. That was the

275
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:34.200
<v Speaker 1>lowest that I had seen. I wasn't uh I think

276
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it ended up. I did people, you know, of course,

277
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:37.879
<v Speaker 1>comment and where like I didn't think it was like,

278
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, I'm just watching. I never think

279
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>like it's the most like I'm seeing. I'm like, this

280
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.639
<v Speaker 1>is the least amount of people ever. You're an idiot,

281
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 1>But it did they padded that. I'm probably closer to

282
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five on that. Anything stand out for you

283
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>there dies Mission Memphis. Did that feel like a five

284
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:57.320
<v Speaker 1>thousand person crowd?

285
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.480
<v Speaker 2>No, No, it was not. And I mean, you know,

286
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.879
<v Speaker 2>like we said, we're not going to freak out about

287
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 2>the numbers when because you know, again we know what

288
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:08.159
<v Speaker 2>the numbers are. It's tickets distributed. We've talked about that.

289
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.360
<v Speaker 2>There were not There's no way there was forty seven

290
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.679
<v Speaker 2>hundred people there. I mean it was fun, it was

291
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:14.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, there were times when it got as loud

292
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 2>as it could. They don't sell tickets on one side

293
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 2>of the stadium, so you don't have anybody over there.

294
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>They're all on one side of the stadium. So no,

295
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.240
<v Speaker 2>that that was. But even still, even inflated, it's still

296
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.200
<v Speaker 2>forty seven hundred.

297
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:34.679
<v Speaker 1>That's tough, you know, thirteen thousand week three average like that.

298
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.200
<v Speaker 1>That makes me feel a little That makes me feel

299
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a little like you're not trying to be too bad,

300
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>but it makes me feel a little bit like whether

301
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:41.399
<v Speaker 1>we're doing here well.

302
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.559
<v Speaker 2>It also makes me a little concerned. I need to

303
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 2>go back and look at it. But teaser here you

304
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:49.799
<v Speaker 2>might see a video come out, Oh don't know, maybe

305
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:54.879
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow around six am Eastern time. Talking about Memphis and

306
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.039
<v Speaker 2>all the different leagues that have played there, especially in

307
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the Liberty Bowl. But when we started talking about you know,

308
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 2>you start looking it's like all these were terrible attendances

309
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.399
<v Speaker 2>for the AAF and even the CFL back in the

310
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.399
<v Speaker 2>mid nineties it was still about three to four times

311
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.919
<v Speaker 2>what we're seeing right now with these numbers, and that

312
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 2>that makes me a little concerned. Now again, I'm sorry again,

313
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of people are gonna say this.

314
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.559
<v Speaker 2>The attendance and ticket sales are not a big part

315
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.799
<v Speaker 2>of the financial model. But after a while you have

316
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.080
<v Speaker 2>to start asking yourself, why aren't we connecting with the

317
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 2>local community. If there's not interest here, is there going

318
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:34.399
<v Speaker 2>to be interest nationwide?

319
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we have a question here from David just Birmingham, Carroll.

320
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.519
<v Speaker 1>I see them when they're at least Memphis is bad.

321
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>The salary to one of the shining examples. It's hard

322
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.960
<v Speaker 1>because you get to that, you get to that quo,

323
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:50.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, you get both sides of that right where Wow,

324
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.039
<v Speaker 1>like the Brahmas have been bad, so how do you

325
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>expect them to get or Memphis has been bad. But yeah,

326
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>but then you go, shoot man Burmie. I mean you

327
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>couldn't you couldn't ask for more from Birmingham from a

328
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>sports team and a well run organization and good coaching

329
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and good staff and you know, a good GM there

330
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.399
<v Speaker 1>before he moved and got it right, didn't Zach? Didn't

331
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>he get promoted somewhere else or whatever? Yeah, you had

332
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 1>all of these states like so, so it's both sides

333
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.399
<v Speaker 1>of it. I don't know. I think we need to

334
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>do a deep dive on this. I've even seen people

335
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>commenting on my stuff kind of you co signing me

336
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.519
<v Speaker 1>and just like why, like why is this not working?

337
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Why a Memphis? Why Ald? I? I mean it is a

338
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:28.600
<v Speaker 1>dead horse at this point. But uh, that that is

339
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 1>there are certain markets where it does not feel like

340
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.559
<v Speaker 1>things are resonating. But then you see Michigan kind of

341
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, tick up a little bit and you think, well,

342
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:39.200
<v Speaker 1>is that working out? To me, Memphis is the worst

343
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>because that is the second longest ten year team in

344
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>a home market, you know, after Birmingham.

345
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, and I will say there was severe weather in

346
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.639
<v Speaker 2>the area in Birmingham before the game. Now when the

347
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 2>game started, if anyone if you watched it, you could

348
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:54.679
<v Speaker 2>tell there was not severe weather. It did look like

349
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>it might have been raining a little bit. Uh, but

350
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:00.320
<v Speaker 2>still your team's won three championships. Go, you know, as

351
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.120
<v Speaker 2>long as there's not lightning in the area, go sit

352
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 2>out in the sprinkle and it's fun. I mean I

353
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.599
<v Speaker 2>was down there last year for the season finale and

354
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:09.079
<v Speaker 2>it was poor and rain but there were still a

355
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of people around and it was humid, and that's

356
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.720
<v Speaker 2>what it was. But it's you know, there weren't as

357
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.799
<v Speaker 2>many people as it should have been for a game

358
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:20.400
<v Speaker 2>that technically decided the USFL Conference champion, even though if

359
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Michigan had won, they still would have had to play

360
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 2>at Birmingham because ford Field wasn't available.

361
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Here's my last comment here. Gemini says, it's not the

362
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:31.279
<v Speaker 1>business model, but it effects the business model. Believe they

363
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.559
<v Speaker 1>need to understand that. You know, I was just thinking

364
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.119
<v Speaker 1>about that here right. Obviously, YouTube, we care about number

365
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:39.799
<v Speaker 1>of people to watch the show, right, but we need

366
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.319
<v Speaker 1>people on here right now doing comments. Right. You want

367
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:46.200
<v Speaker 1>people engaged in your stream live as it's happening to

368
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 1>give that and you know, we're just sitting here and

369
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.920
<v Speaker 1>it's it's you know it's it's Max in the chat.

370
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.039
<v Speaker 1>You doesn't do as much for me when we have

371
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.599
<v Speaker 1>a group, So you know, it's all effects that it

372
00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.559
<v Speaker 1>affects the energy. To me, the biggest thing we've talked

373
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.799
<v Speaker 1>about this it's a perception. I show my mother or

374
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:06.599
<v Speaker 1>my wife or my neighbor the game and there's forty

375
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.559
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred people that it affects perception more than anything.

376
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.400
<v Speaker 1>And at the end of the day, I will tell

377
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>you my Saint Louis tweet and my Memphis tweets. A

378
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of CFL people I call that like, ooh you know,

379
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and you got to oh, man, I did this league's done?

380
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:25.480
<v Speaker 1>So you know it comes from all sides. Anything general thought. Sure, else,

381
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to pull up the arlington. We'll talk to

382
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the game here.

383
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I think you covered it all. It's something

384
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 2>we say we're not going to talk about, and we

385
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:34.920
<v Speaker 2>continue to talk about. But it's just you know what, again,

386
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.319
<v Speaker 2>we talk about these things because we are pulling for

387
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:40.319
<v Speaker 2>the success of this league and we just really want

388
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:41.480
<v Speaker 2>to see it kind of take off.

389
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, So for the for the Orangine game here, so

390
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.759
<v Speaker 1>I was so, oh, I didn't I'll tell you my

391
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:50.160
<v Speaker 1>story at the end, I'll say, remind me of the

392
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>end to tell you my story about how sick I

393
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>got after our stream LOSK so I was I was

394
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:57.839
<v Speaker 1>going to say I was fortunate. I don't know if

395
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.279
<v Speaker 1>I was fortun I was. I was fortunate enough to

396
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.279
<v Speaker 1>this game on the plane undisturbed, flying back from my

397
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.440
<v Speaker 1>work trip from Orlando, so I got to see all

398
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.319
<v Speaker 1>of this. I don't even think there would be much

399
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:13.119
<v Speaker 1>to talk about in this game if it were for

400
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:15.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of the end of game kind of

401
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:17.599
<v Speaker 1>scenario and all of that. You have general thoughts in

402
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 1>the game before we kind of get to all that breakdown.

403
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:23.599
<v Speaker 2>The general thought is when Matt Carrall is good, he's great.

404
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:26.160
<v Speaker 2>When he is bad, it is hard to watch. And

405
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:29.359
<v Speaker 2>when look at that stat line nineteen for forty one.

406
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Now he did have two hundred and fifty five yards,

407
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, but it's just some of these passes. There

408
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:34.960
<v Speaker 2>was one I think he was trying to throw a

409
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.319
<v Speaker 2>corner route and he just threw it over the guy

410
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.519
<v Speaker 2>and skip Holtz there there are a lot of times

411
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.440
<v Speaker 2>when they have taken video, you know, taking shots of

412
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:48.759
<v Speaker 2>of skip Holtz and he's coaching them up or this week.

413
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.240
<v Speaker 2>It was there were tons of shots of him just

414
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.400
<v Speaker 2>being so frustrated. There was sound of him being frustrated.

415
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:59.839
<v Speaker 2>And here's another thing with this now that case Cookus

416
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.240
<v Speaker 2>is there, the signing that none of us could figure out.

417
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.319
<v Speaker 2>You know a lot of people were starting to say,

418
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.799
<v Speaker 2>maybe we need, you know, put let's put Kate case

419
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Cookus in there, because Matt Corrall struggling so much. But

420
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.359
<v Speaker 2>again he has such good games, and so there's that spark.

421
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.480
<v Speaker 2>But I think now Skip Holtz has an insurance policy

422
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:19.960
<v Speaker 2>with with case Cookis.

423
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do you like that? Do you like him moving

424
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.480
<v Speaker 1>in there? There was you know a little bit of juice?

425
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, I mean I still think you you you

426
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.920
<v Speaker 2>you stick with Matt Corrall, I mean until you don't. Well,

427
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's kind of what we saw with with

428
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Memphis a little bit. And well, I mean and frankly

429
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.920
<v Speaker 2>we saw it with Houston in that game. Let's let's

430
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.359
<v Speaker 2>also remember don't take anything away again from this Birmingham defense,

431
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.839
<v Speaker 2>because I mean they held on some you know, almost

432
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>goal line plays against Arlington. Now Arlington's defense, i mean

433
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.920
<v Speaker 2>offense was you know, sputtering a little bit obviously only

434
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.319
<v Speaker 2>scored nine points. But man, I mean Birmingham's defense, if

435
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:02.160
<v Speaker 2>they had not stepped up the way they did, this

436
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:03.079
<v Speaker 2>is a different story.

437
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we have here Puzol fan Sternberger fumble was pretty wild. Yeah,

438
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I said that must have been too busy with all

439
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.119
<v Speaker 1>that tweeting about you know, Mark Nelson and articles and

440
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.960
<v Speaker 1>all that. Oh darn Jase, like but you know, have

441
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.480
<v Speaker 1>anyone criticized But it was a good play.

442
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:24.759
<v Speaker 2>It But but the thing is, uh, I think the

443
00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:27.680
<v Speaker 2>defense held on that play. So yeah, I mean that

444
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:29.720
<v Speaker 2>was why. I mean that was a touchdown. I mean

445
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:32.599
<v Speaker 2>he dropped six points, but they were able to hold

446
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Arlington to a field goal I think on that possession.

447
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.359
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that was. Yeah, that's pretty wild. And you

448
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.880
<v Speaker 2>got to burn in on old Jase.

449
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I was gonna say too, And because Canala had

450
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a fumble too, right at some point, I was kind

451
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>of I was, I was pretty.

452
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Tired there was that when he got blown up. It

453
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.559
<v Speaker 2>might have been a fumble then.

454
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:51.599
<v Speaker 1>But I was gonna say, just a side note, I

455
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.960
<v Speaker 1>did just get that email from the Renegades. Hey, they

456
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:58.119
<v Speaker 1>had a sal Canela like spotlight article coming out. Dank Christ,

457
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:01.759
<v Speaker 1>It's not it's not a little press like no, I

458
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:05.440
<v Speaker 1>mean that like that's awesome. Like if I was, if

459
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 1>I was a person for one of these teams, that's great.

460
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I every week, then you do salad this week, and

461
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:13.920
<v Speaker 1>then you do someone on defense next week and use

462
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:16.480
<v Speaker 1>something like it's that's free or two times a week,

463
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:18.880
<v Speaker 1>do three times to do an offensive and defensive and

464
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the specialtyam like yeah, send them six questions. Do you

465
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.440
<v Speaker 1>like your bread toasted or untoted? Like I don't you

466
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:29.359
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, Like it's not people like that stuff.

467
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.559
<v Speaker 1>I think that's great. I have a question here where

468
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:35.400
<v Speaker 1>David yet to Where's David's question? Is it time to

469
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>move later? I would like to see them score points again.

470
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you're gonna You're gonna bench the King of Spring.

471
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:45.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what was it? What was what were his

472
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.599
<v Speaker 2>stat lines? I mean, what was his what were in stats?

473
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Like it? Here?

474
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Because I said, I mean I still think his numbers

475
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker 2>are okay. I mean I don't think they were they

476
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:54.680
<v Speaker 2>were terrible? Were they? I mean? Yeah? I mean still

477
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:56.799
<v Speaker 2>had over two hundred yards passing twenty six or thirty

478
00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 2>eight is not bad. I mean you're right, no touchdowns,

479
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:01.640
<v Speaker 2>but no picks either. Yeah, I don't. I don't think

480
00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:05.200
<v Speaker 2>he was the problem. And a foosball fan brings up

481
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.640
<v Speaker 2>a good point about how he thought Arlington played some

482
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.839
<v Speaker 2>good defense. I kind of questioned Arlington's defense because they

483
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:15.920
<v Speaker 2>had to hold off Houston and then you know, then

484
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.079
<v Speaker 2>they gave up the game time touchdown and that one

485
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:20.079
<v Speaker 2>point conversion there at the end of the game. I mean,

486
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:22.400
<v Speaker 2>it was kind of a crazy ending to the game.

487
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, it's their defense. You know, it seems like

488
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:27.640
<v Speaker 2>it's good until it's you know, crutch time.

489
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:30.599
<v Speaker 1>Well let's talk about that. So let's talk in the

490
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:32.640
<v Speaker 1>game here. And I was because I was watching you know,

491
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you know how watching like football on a plan is

492
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and like he right, So then so I watch it

493
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and I watched the replay and because I'm okay, I

494
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure I got everything. But you know, obviously,

495
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:45.720
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, Birmingham driving all that, and you know, the

496
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.079
<v Speaker 1>fall start and everything, and you know, Steve's not being

497
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.680
<v Speaker 1>able to decline they got it, right? Do we like that?

498
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean a lot of controversy. I thought that was

499
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:56.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of the main takeaway from the game.

500
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:00.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, it starts bringing out the conspiracy theory too, thought

501
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 2>that you know, Kansas City was supposed to win the

502
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl, and you know till that conspiracy theory theory

503
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:09.839
<v Speaker 2>fell through and they're they're all, they're in Saint Louis's corner. Well,

504
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:13.000
<v Speaker 2>that conspiracy theory died, so now all these conspiracy theorists

505
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:16.839
<v Speaker 2>are on Birmingham. When you get the call right the

506
00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:19.160
<v Speaker 2>way that the UFL rules are set up, I thought

507
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 2>that was fine. There were people saying, why didn't Bob

508
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Stoops decline the penalty? Well, you can't decline the dead

509
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.519
<v Speaker 2>ball penalty. Uh, that's that's what it is. And no,

510
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's I think it's fine when you are

511
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>when you can make those kinds of calls in crunch

512
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:37.799
<v Speaker 2>time of games. I think that's one thing that majorly

513
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.319
<v Speaker 2>separates the UFL from the NFL or any other pro

514
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.519
<v Speaker 2>league and the Super Challenge, which I expect any time

515
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.440
<v Speaker 2>for the NFL to to steal that one because they should.

516
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:51.680
<v Speaker 1>You had a lot of officiating this week and I

517
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:54.039
<v Speaker 1>felt like, we excuse me with you with with Mike

518
00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.079
<v Speaker 1>and all that, and the Dean was the lover. I mean,

519
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:59.640
<v Speaker 1>there was just a lot of uh you know, controversy

520
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>that way. But yeah, I always say Birmingham is what

521
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:05.400
<v Speaker 1>is it the Birmingham in the league's poker? However you

522
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:08.359
<v Speaker 1>want to say that, I don't know. I mean it's frustrating.

523
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Arlington, you know, made it to write to

524
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.319
<v Speaker 1>the red zone three times previously, you had plenty of

525
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:16.039
<v Speaker 1>opportunities to put that away. Do you view that Arlington

526
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.400
<v Speaker 1>giving the way away or giving the game or Birmingham?

527
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:18.640
<v Speaker 1>You know?

528
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:22.799
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean I credit that to Birmingham's defense. I

529
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.519
<v Speaker 2>just thought they looked good the entire game, So, I mean,

530
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:29.880
<v Speaker 2>can both things be true? Yes? To me, I just

531
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:33.039
<v Speaker 2>thought that was just some really strong Birmingham defense throughout

532
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:35.400
<v Speaker 2>the game. I was really impressed with them. They've been

533
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:37.640
<v Speaker 2>good all year. They were good last year.

534
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:41.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking here, you know, so Arlington here second in

535
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:46.519
<v Speaker 1>the XFL, obviously undefeated defenders that way, David asked, I mean,

536
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Louis and all that, do we ride for just a

537
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>bad week? Birmingham's defense is stout? How do you kind

538
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:52.759
<v Speaker 1>of adjust to that?

539
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's too much knee jerks. Everyone wanted to bench

540
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Kellen Mond. Now, did they lose? Yes, Here's the thing.

541
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to get killed for this, but I have

542
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:06.319
<v Speaker 2>I have kell I have San Antonio in our power rankings,

543
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I put San Antonio third. Now do I They're zero

544
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 2>to three. I understand I'm gonna get killed for this,

545
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:16.359
<v Speaker 2>but Kellen Mond was a different quarterback. I mean it

546
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:19.160
<v Speaker 2>was a close game obviously in Michigan had to come back.

547
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Your guy, you know, destroying, got destroyed there and missed

548
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:29.440
<v Speaker 2>the game time field. So but I'm just saying there's

549
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:31.480
<v Speaker 2>too much knee jerk that. You know, people wanted to

550
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:34.240
<v Speaker 2>sit Alex Magoo after week one when he was getting

551
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:39.480
<v Speaker 2>absolutely killed. We kept saying every week Kellen Mond needs

552
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:42.599
<v Speaker 2>to jail a little bit. He's got a new offensive coordinator.

553
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:46.839
<v Speaker 2>With the offensive coordinator comes in now Peyton Pardee and says, hey,

554
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:48.839
<v Speaker 2>you know this guy could run a lot in college.

555
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we should let him do a lot more of that.

556
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Certainly worked out, he was much more, you know, he

557
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.440
<v Speaker 2>used his feet a lot more. Again, I think that

558
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>this team is gonna Gael And you know, I kept

559
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:00.920
<v Speaker 2>saying that Memphis was the best OH and two team.

560
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Now I think San Antonio might be the best owen

561
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:03.799
<v Speaker 2>three team.

562
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:08.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's interesting because yesterday was the best week, you know,

563
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.519
<v Speaker 1>day of games, right, So you're you know, three and

564
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.559
<v Speaker 1>a half weeks into the season where you're seeing that.

565
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.599
<v Speaker 1>And my question was, you know, this player strife and

566
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:20.799
<v Speaker 1>potential lock it, you know, walk out and kind of

567
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:23.440
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff. You know, how much of that in

568
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.160
<v Speaker 1>training camp and the quarterback's not doing that? You know,

569
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:28.359
<v Speaker 1>how much should all this effect we're now you know,

570
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>we're three weeks into the season, right, they had you know,

571
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:33.079
<v Speaker 1>two three week training you know, now you're kind of

572
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.680
<v Speaker 1>at the point where we're getting to that, we're getting

573
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.400
<v Speaker 1>things going. I just think where that that first week

574
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:41.759
<v Speaker 1>or two of the spring football is always such a cluster,

575
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.359
<v Speaker 1>like uh, getting everyone together? Does that make sense? Like

576
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I felt, we're kind of all these teams are kind

577
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>of hitting stride.

578
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Now well, and it's so compressed already anyway. You don't

579
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:52.839
<v Speaker 2>have two to three months of you know, of pre

580
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:54.759
<v Speaker 2>you don't have two to three months of training camp,

581
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:57.640
<v Speaker 2>you don't have preseason games. You're launched straight into it,

582
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:00.960
<v Speaker 2>and if you go oh and three like San Antonio,

583
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:03.720
<v Speaker 2>you're fighting for your life before mid season to get

584
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:06.920
<v Speaker 2>to the postseason. But I think you're right. I think

585
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:09.880
<v Speaker 2>we are starting to see maybe some of the effects

586
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.799
<v Speaker 2>those first couple of weeks of that, you know, sitting

587
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 2>out of the of the quarterback camp. But I think

588
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.559
<v Speaker 2>this third week, I think you're exactly right. You're on

589
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.960
<v Speaker 2>track there. We are starting to see what happens when

590
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:24.039
<v Speaker 2>these teams start to practice. Now and now they're starting

591
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:26.440
<v Speaker 2>to play together, They're starting to figure out these offenses

592
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.759
<v Speaker 2>because everything is just so compressed when you compare it

593
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:31.680
<v Speaker 2>to a lot of other leagues, especially the NFL.

594
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:34.799
<v Speaker 1>UH A couple I have a question for you, and

595
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:36.880
<v Speaker 1>then someone said, we got comments here, we'll do it

596
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:38.880
<v Speaker 1>as king Williams not to ever react. A week one,

597
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 1>do you think Parde might be the coach of the

598
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:43.119
<v Speaker 1>future in San Antonio? They look fired up. Yes, we

599
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:46.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't talk about it. A J. Smith and everything, a

600
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.519
<v Speaker 1>lot of we just didn't have a chance to talk

601
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.839
<v Speaker 1>about it because that was Wednesday, Thursday. I was working

602
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.279
<v Speaker 1>and I was in Orlando. You know you hear rumors, right,

603
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>he got pushed out. They didn't want to use his offense.

604
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>We see did that step back to the championship game

605
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:05.039
<v Speaker 1>last year where they looks so anemic. I saw Brandon

606
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Silver's tweeting out in support of A. J. Smith. Obviously

607
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:10.279
<v Speaker 1>he was close to them in their time? What did

608
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:11.599
<v Speaker 1>you I guess, what do you make of the AJ

609
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Smith stepping down? And then? Yeah, I mean, I guess

610
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:17.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about this. We weren't going to go to

611
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:18.960
<v Speaker 1>this game yet, but they goes, what did you make

612
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:21.519
<v Speaker 1>of this? I'm coming ahead here, John.

613
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:24.240
<v Speaker 2>That's quite all right. Yeah, I've seen two different reports

614
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:27.799
<v Speaker 2>now from San Antonio that AJ Smith left because he

615
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:30.400
<v Speaker 2>was at odds on what offense he wanted to run

616
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:33.160
<v Speaker 2>and what offense that maybe Wade Phillips or the organization

617
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:38.599
<v Speaker 2>wanted to run. But I'm telling you they lost, Yes,

618
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.880
<v Speaker 2>but didn't that offense look a lot better with Peyton Party.

619
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:44.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, again, like I said last week, A J.

620
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Smith didn't forget how to coach. I don't think that's

621
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the question. But you have to, as Brandon Silver says,

622
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.119
<v Speaker 2>that you had, you know, you've got to You've got

623
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:58.359
<v Speaker 2>to let an offensive coordinator decide what personnel and what

624
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:00.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of scheme he wants to run. Otherwise, why do

625
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:02.519
<v Speaker 2>you have an offensive coordinator? You just need a you know,

626
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:04.799
<v Speaker 2>a play caller like Ken wizen Hunt. I mean not

627
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:06.920
<v Speaker 2>that they don't have an offensive coordinator, but he you know,

628
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:09.519
<v Speaker 2>he's the play caller. There's a lot of that that happened.

629
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:12.119
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know that A J. Smith is going

630
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:13.920
<v Speaker 2>to work in a system like that where that was

631
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:14.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen.

632
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just like said, they're dude and foosball fan.

633
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:20.680
<v Speaker 1>They're fighting in the chat. That's funny. I hear it

634
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 1>as well. I just I'm tired. I'm going on macation here.

635
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:28.599
<v Speaker 1>But here we go, DeMarcus John, You're absolutely wrong. If

636
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:30.680
<v Speaker 1>they challenge you is fine. But the place on now

637
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:32.839
<v Speaker 1>we're back. This is what I have was all kind

638
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:35.079
<v Speaker 1>of talking about the renegads on this I jumping you around,

639
00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:37.640
<v Speaker 1>keeping you on your toes. Uh, we're going back to that.

640
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:39.160
<v Speaker 1>So the false start ID and going all the way

641
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:41.599
<v Speaker 1>through your playing changing the game. That was where I

642
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:43.440
<v Speaker 1>wanted to in the conversation, and then we'll move on.

643
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I could see why people are upset

644
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:51.400
<v Speaker 2>by that. Uh. And you're right, you know, if if

645
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:54.279
<v Speaker 2>if there's a false start, that play, that play should stop.

646
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean it stops on every level of a false start.

647
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:57.960
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it did go through and then they went

648
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:01.440
<v Speaker 2>back and looked at it. But I just that's the UFL.

649
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:04.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't I you know, I don't think I'm wrong

650
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:06.480
<v Speaker 2>on that. I mean, that's what you that's what the

651
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:08.839
<v Speaker 2>UFL does. That was the rule.

652
00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:12.799
<v Speaker 1>It annoys me and for anyone that doesn't watch hockey,

653
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:16.960
<v Speaker 1>it feels very similar to like offsides challenge in hockey,

654
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:20.440
<v Speaker 1>where they might be in the offensive zone for two

655
00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:22.799
<v Speaker 1>or three minutes and score and then they go, well

656
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 1>on the entry it was, you know, and they'll go back,

657
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and sometimes those teams will know, right,

658
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:30.000
<v Speaker 1>they'll know and you see, I mean shooting football, you

659
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>see that, Oh he's got a free play or he

660
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:33.759
<v Speaker 1>knows or oh, well get you know Aaron Rodger, remember

661
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>he was the.

662
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.359
<v Speaker 3>King, Like, oh Aaron, he's so crafty, he always knows,

663
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:39.680
<v Speaker 3>he's got to like But you get that hockey and

664
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:41.759
<v Speaker 3>they'll go back and that team maybe new a minute

665
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.079
<v Speaker 3>and a half ago, Hey this is off side, you know,

666
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:46.039
<v Speaker 3>and then obviously you're gonna play, but then.

667
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Change out all around anything else with that. You want

668
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:50.319
<v Speaker 1>to move on to Memphis.

669
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like the goaltending call in college basketball. Now

670
00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:55.279
<v Speaker 2>they can go back and look at or you know,

671
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.680
<v Speaker 2>at or review a three later.

672
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:02.119
<v Speaker 1>And so yeah, I did have a show. Where was

673
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>it don't. I don't think I had a tweet pulled out,

674
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>but I was like, yeah, Birmingham is the matric city

675
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>because they make the fans disappear. All right, So John

676
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:17.039
<v Speaker 1>went to Memphis. You were there, John took photos for us.

677
00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:18.799
<v Speaker 1>We have I still have not heard back about it

678
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that stuff in terms of being able to use haven't

679
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:22.359
<v Speaker 1>had time this week by that.

680
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I will not charge you three hundred and fifty dollars.

681
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:28.680
<v Speaker 1>John, Please don't. Yeah, John Shott spirol John Shott's photos

682
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:32.440
<v Speaker 1>at John Shott's lots of things. Yeah, video of Curtis Johnson.

683
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:35.880
<v Speaker 1>But you were there. You were there for the Roughnecks.

684
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:39.559
<v Speaker 1>When I tweeted out Chris Johnson as coach more winning

685
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:42.799
<v Speaker 1>football games than you or I have, and likely anyone

686
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:44.880
<v Speaker 1>reading this tweet for the most well, not knowing my

687
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Twitter feed, there's actually a lot of like smart football people.

688
00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not my maybe not, but there you go. I mean,

689
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:53.920
<v Speaker 1>it was, what did you make about I'll pull up

690
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:55.839
<v Speaker 1>the game stats, but Curtis Johnson pulled it out.

691
00:32:56.359 --> 00:33:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think Ken w Hunt set Ken

692
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:05.039
<v Speaker 2>wesen Hunt said after the game, you learn, you learn

693
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:08.920
<v Speaker 2>from these things. He disagreed with the assessment that it

694
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:13.000
<v Speaker 2>felt like the defenses were ahead of the offenses, you know,

695
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:16.759
<v Speaker 2>in in the UFL in general. I don't know. I mean,

696
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:18.480
<v Speaker 2>he knows a lot more football than I do, but

697
00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:22.640
<v Speaker 2>it does feel that way anyway. But I think both

698
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I think both teams might have found their quarterbacks. You know,

699
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:31.240
<v Speaker 2>It's what I when Pat Raffino put on Analyze and Educate,

700
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:35.880
<v Speaker 2>he did his you know, top quarterbacks of the season

701
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:39.559
<v Speaker 2>or of the week, and you know, talking about e J. Perry,

702
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:41.680
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of like Matt Carrall. When e J. Perry

703
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:44.759
<v Speaker 2>is good. You know, that is a very good quarterback.

704
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.559
<v Speaker 2>But he absolutely had a meltdown at the end.

705
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Of the game.

706
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:51.279
<v Speaker 2>One was a pick six and you know generally that

707
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:52.880
<v Speaker 2>was I mean, you can look at it and that

708
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:54.480
<v Speaker 2>was kind of the turning point. It might have been

709
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:58.799
<v Speaker 2>the winner there for Houston and then Memphis going for

710
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:03.680
<v Speaker 2>two for for the win rather than going for the tie.

711
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:06.319
<v Speaker 2>It just it was an interesting game. First half was

712
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:08.760
<v Speaker 2>not great. You know, we talked about that. I I

713
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 2>ask you, like, does this look better on TV than

714
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:14.199
<v Speaker 2>it does here from field level? A second second, second

715
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:17.320
<v Speaker 2>half was good. I mean, but when Nolan Henderson came

716
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:19.000
<v Speaker 2>in there for Houston. I mean, it was it was

717
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:19.800
<v Speaker 2>a different game.

718
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Do you and and this always happens, right when you're

719
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:26.719
<v Speaker 1>a bad team and you get slept on and I've

720
00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 1>had this and you know, her team's play up or

721
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Seattle teams are the prototypical We play up

722
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:34.519
<v Speaker 1>and then we played down to the to you know,

723
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:40.079
<v Speaker 1>our competition that way. But excuse are the roughnecks kind

724
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 1>of compiling something here building something? Or is this uh

725
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:45.559
<v Speaker 1>this is this show box just asleep with the.

726
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Show boats? Gave this one away. It's what happened, you know.

727
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Troy Williams came in there, looked a lot better, you know,

728
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:57.000
<v Speaker 2>put them on some drives. You know, again e J.

729
00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Perry start, I rewatched the first you know, I'm gluten

730
00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:03.599
<v Speaker 2>for punishment. I rewatched the first half this morning. But yeah,

731
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:05.559
<v Speaker 2>it was like, you know, e J. Perry continued to

732
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:08.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of have you know these drives he's putting together,

733
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:10.679
<v Speaker 2>got in the rhythm and but then you know I

734
00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:13.000
<v Speaker 2>saw it in person in the second half, it just

735
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:15.840
<v Speaker 2>it was just kind of a disaster. No, no, I

736
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.559
<v Speaker 2>mean in my power rankings, I couldn't put Houston last.

737
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I couldn't do it. I had to put

738
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Memphis last. But still, uh, you know, I don't know,

739
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 2>maybe it sparked something I could be wrong to me.

740
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Memphis lost this game more than Houston won it.

741
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:37.880
<v Speaker 1>So now you know, firmly bottom of the USFL conference here, Yeah,

742
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Birmingham and obviously they're at the top. They're they're your

743
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:44.000
<v Speaker 1>worst team, whether I think Greg Parks is, they'll be

744
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.039
<v Speaker 1>working on their you know, our power rankings this week

745
00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:47.760
<v Speaker 1>for all football. That just but that's where you got them.

746
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:52.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean I do reluctantly. I mean I think if

747
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:55.800
<v Speaker 2>you play that game three times, I think Memphis wins twice,

748
00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:58.239
<v Speaker 2>and I think Houston got them on the one day

749
00:35:58.239 --> 00:35:59.039
<v Speaker 2>that they were going to win.

750
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:04.280
<v Speaker 1>David has a question for you as EH Perry the

751
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.400
<v Speaker 1>best worst quarterback, the worst best quarterback in the UFL.

752
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.400
<v Speaker 2>That's all that is an entire podcast in to itself,

753
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:10.559
<v Speaker 2>I know.

754
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I have a question from football fan here

755
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.400
<v Speaker 1>that could be an entire podcast. We'll get to at

756
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:16.639
<v Speaker 1>the end.

757
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:19.840
<v Speaker 2>I can imagine. Yeah, I mean again, it's like E. J.

758
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:25.159
<v Speaker 2>Perry versus Matt Corral It's like the highlight reel throws

759
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:29.039
<v Speaker 2>and runs and then and then it's like and then

760
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:30.960
<v Speaker 2>if you put together a reel of all they're bad,

761
00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:33.440
<v Speaker 2>of all the bad plays, you know, these guys can't

762
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:35.800
<v Speaker 2>play on any level. It's just it's just so different.

763
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Did anything we'll get moved to the to the Sunday

764
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:42.360
<v Speaker 1>game show that might give us a little bit more,

765
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:45.679
<v Speaker 1>but finishing with the Memphis takeaways from the game or

766
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:47.360
<v Speaker 1>take away you know, getting to be on the media

767
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:51.559
<v Speaker 1>side there taking photos, sideline, any other stories, any other observations.

768
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Memphis does it right. I got to park right up

769
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:56.800
<v Speaker 2>beside the stadium. I did not have to pay for parking.

770
00:36:57.639 --> 00:36:59.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, press pass was easy to pick up. Walks

771
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:04.039
<v Speaker 2>straight in. Uh no, I mean they it's it as

772
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:06.800
<v Speaker 2>far as the whole game day operation goes. I mean,

773
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:09.480
<v Speaker 2>this is you know, it might be kind of inside

774
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:12.159
<v Speaker 2>baseball here inside football, but as far as the game

775
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 2>day operations go, it is a great set up there.

776
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:17.760
<v Speaker 2>And you go right in there's a media room set

777
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:20.199
<v Speaker 2>up where they actually do the interviews and you know,

778
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:24.159
<v Speaker 2>the postgame stuff. It was great. And you know Andy Seely,

779
00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:26.920
<v Speaker 2>who's the PR guy. We've mentioned his name several times.

780
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Class act just is so helpful and you know, just

781
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:35.000
<v Speaker 2>friendly and appreciates the work that we do. So yeah, No,

782
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:36.639
<v Speaker 2>it was just it was it was really cool to

783
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.679
<v Speaker 2>be there again. I As I said, I worked in

784
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:43.320
<v Speaker 2>in Louisville television for twenty years and University of Louisville

785
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:46.199
<v Speaker 2>used to go to the Liberty Bowl every year in football,

786
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:48.719
<v Speaker 2>but I never got to attend to I never went.

787
00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I was always the guy sitting in the studio saying,

788
00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:53.119
<v Speaker 2>here's so and so from you know, from the Liberty Bowl.

789
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:55.480
<v Speaker 2>So I wanted to go there because I mean, we

790
00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:58.920
<v Speaker 2>never know, as we've seen these leagues pop up and die,

791
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:00.679
<v Speaker 2>and it's like when I'm I ever going to get

792
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:02.880
<v Speaker 2>a chance to go to Memphis again or or have

793
00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:05.880
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to go watch a game there that's in

794
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:08.119
<v Speaker 2>a league that I enjoy. So that was why I went,

795
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:10.280
<v Speaker 2>And it was it was really fun and it was

796
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:12.960
<v Speaker 2>a class act and everybody was just you know, very helpful.

797
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Did was there a large number? Was there a large

798
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:22.000
<v Speaker 1>was there? A large number of other media folks there

799
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:22.760
<v Speaker 1>from Memphis.

800
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:25.119
<v Speaker 2>No w R e G seems to do a lot

801
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:27.800
<v Speaker 2>uh Channel three there in Memphis, and they seem to

802
00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:30.280
<v Speaker 2>do a lot with the Panthers, And I just saw abduels.

803
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:33.599
<v Speaker 1>I just saw we'll pull it up, we'll pull it up,

804
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:34.239
<v Speaker 1>which is true.

805
00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Uh, But no, I think and I don't know that

806
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:38.519
<v Speaker 2>they I don't even know if they shot the game. Really.

807
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:40.199
<v Speaker 2>I think they were in there for post game. I

808
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:44.039
<v Speaker 2>think uh. Uh me and this we were like the

809
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:46.000
<v Speaker 2>That was pretty much all. There were only a few

810
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:49.039
<v Speaker 2>cameras there on the sidelines. Uh. And there was a

811
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:52.400
<v Speaker 2>there was a group there from Arkansas State. Uh, some

812
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:54.800
<v Speaker 2>college students there that they were shooting. I saw that

813
00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:57.280
<v Speaker 2>they were given the Memphis players high fives after they

814
00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:00.440
<v Speaker 2>ran in touchdowns. So it was it was it was

815
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:01.480
<v Speaker 2>quite the experience.

816
00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:05.239
<v Speaker 1>I would be curious. And I know that the UFL,

817
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you know they they have the highlights for us, Yeah,

818
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:10.639
<v Speaker 1>on that media portal. I'd be curious, you know, if

819
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:13.199
<v Speaker 1>they shot that. I'm curious how much they shot that there.

820
00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:15.960
<v Speaker 1>If they're calling at the Memphis TV stations every week, like,

821
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:18.719
<v Speaker 1>hey we got five minutes and game highlights and you know,

822
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.159
<v Speaker 1>two postgame interviews if you want to use some, I

823
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:23.920
<v Speaker 1>would just be curious. Like it's one thing to have

824
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:26.400
<v Speaker 1>them there, it's another thing to shot that. Yes, we

825
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:29.960
<v Speaker 1>did see them deals coming, not shocking. The childis can

826
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:34.239
<v Speaker 1>park anywhere with the Abdul. You do not know the

827
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:38.199
<v Speaker 1>interactions we have had in Arlington. You would think that

828
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:41.199
<v Speaker 1>that would be you can't even get free parking in

829
00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:43.719
<v Speaker 1>in Arlington. So I did would think.

830
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:46.440
<v Speaker 2>That I did get free parking. And when I got there,

831
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:49.199
<v Speaker 2>I was I walked out. I got there way early

832
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:51.239
<v Speaker 2>because I wanted to get there and get some video outside.

833
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.719
<v Speaker 2>And I saw there's some tailigators over here. And then

834
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I saw this just this giant, just stretch of tents

835
00:39:57.840 --> 00:39:59.719
<v Speaker 2>and all these people out there, and I was like,

836
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:02.000
<v Speaker 2>what now, what a scene? This is like people are

837
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:04.159
<v Speaker 2>really showing up. But come come to find out, there

838
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:06.639
<v Speaker 2>was another community event that was happening on that side

839
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:09.760
<v Speaker 2>that had nothing to do with the UFL, but it

840
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:13.079
<v Speaker 2>was interesting. There were some Houston Roughnecks fans there. Uh,

841
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:15.480
<v Speaker 2>and I was shocked and in fact, like the video

842
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I sense some video back. I had some great video

843
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:20.320
<v Speaker 2>of CJ walking off the field. He's blowing kisses to

844
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.400
<v Speaker 2>the I don't know twenty Houston Roughnecks fans over there.

845
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Was it was pretty funny.

846
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I know, I was shedding. There was anyway for me

847
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:28.199
<v Speaker 1>to pull that out here.

848
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Well and Here's what King Williams here brings up a

849
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:34.239
<v Speaker 2>good point about you know, if local news isn't covering,

850
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.039
<v Speaker 2>how are you know people supposed to know? I told

851
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:39.079
<v Speaker 2>you read I think you know. I was down there

852
00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:42.800
<v Speaker 2>and kind of flipping around watching local television. I I no,

853
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:45.880
<v Speaker 2>not to say it didn't happen, but I never saw

854
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:50.760
<v Speaker 2>one mention of the Memphis Showboats game happening. And when

855
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:53.639
<v Speaker 2>they were talking about different events that were happening and

856
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:57.360
<v Speaker 2>the weather forecast, I never saw one. I never saw

857
00:40:57.440 --> 00:40:59.800
<v Speaker 2>one mention of the Memphis Showboats.

858
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's see if I don't break this hole and John

859
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:07.199
<v Speaker 1>Dunnan there you go, don't don't don't give me a

860
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:17.719
<v Speaker 1>strike here, you have to see that enjoy And I

861
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:22.639
<v Speaker 1>got he goes, I got John Lewis Wayne for me,

862
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:27.239
<v Speaker 1>I got, I got time to do. But it was good.

863
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you got to do that.

864
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was fun. I'm glad I got to too.

865
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:34.119
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I've I've been to you know, Birmingham

866
00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:36.440
<v Speaker 2>a few times, Saint Louis a few times. I got

867
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:39.519
<v Speaker 2>to go to Canton, which was really cool. I mean,

868
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:41.559
<v Speaker 2>that was one of my favorite trips ever. And then

869
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:43.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, and then going to Memphis. It is fun

870
00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:45.840
<v Speaker 2>to go to these things. I do wish that there

871
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:48.840
<v Speaker 2>was a little bit more you know, fans set up.

872
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:50.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean they had a great tailgating area.

873
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

874
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.239
<v Speaker 2>The theme was Memphis Wrestling, which you would have enjoyed.

875
00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:57.239
<v Speaker 2>During the timeouts they slammed the guy through a table

876
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:01.519
<v Speaker 2>on the concourse. They were having actual wrestling matches matches

877
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:03.920
<v Speaker 2>before the game with some of the Memphis area wrestlers.

878
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:06.119
<v Speaker 2>It was it was quite the same. And I ate

879
00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:08.159
<v Speaker 2>a foot long corn dog, So I mean, what day.

880
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:14.079
<v Speaker 1>You know it was when I took Dorothy to the

881
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Arlington Renegades game. It was memor of the weekend last

882
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:20.599
<v Speaker 1>year we went. I I agree with you when you're there.

883
00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:24.199
<v Speaker 1>They do a fantastic job for the fans. It's getting

884
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the fans in. I think the people that are doing

885
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the game day, including the hosts that are doing the crowd,

886
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:31.840
<v Speaker 1>all of that is that like in the wrestling and

887
00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:34.440
<v Speaker 1>we get the emails and you know, the roughnecks are

888
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:36.280
<v Speaker 1>doing whatever, and this is doing you know, they're they're

889
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.800
<v Speaker 1>trying these theme things. I think it's great. It's just

890
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:40.960
<v Speaker 1>getting people to the game. We Dorithy, I had a

891
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:43.400
<v Speaker 1>great time we walked out around Chalkdaw they had stuff

892
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:45.239
<v Speaker 1>to go check out in the merch store and they

893
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:47.440
<v Speaker 1>had you know, I think that was the day we

894
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:49.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't stay. I think that was the Dave Marquete King

895
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:51.320
<v Speaker 1>like saying after the game.

896
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Or we didn't stay for the concert.

897
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:56.800
<v Speaker 1>But you know, they have things there. It's just getting

898
00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:57.719
<v Speaker 1>people to the games.

899
00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:01.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And that was another great they which they did

900
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.639
<v Speaker 2>not have in Saint Louis last year, was they had

901
00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:10.039
<v Speaker 2>no merchandise out in the tailgating area or outside the stadium.

902
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh And in Saint Louis, So by the time that

903
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:14.679
<v Speaker 2>we were you know, my wife and I were there

904
00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:16.199
<v Speaker 2>and we were like walking around outside and by the

905
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:18.639
<v Speaker 2>time we were going in, we're ready to go, you know,

906
00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:21.159
<v Speaker 2>grab some drinks and some food and go to our seats.

907
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:23.360
<v Speaker 2>And then they had all that in there. Now there

908
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:25.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't on the concourse there in Memphis, they had a

909
00:43:26.039 --> 00:43:28.239
<v Speaker 2>they had a pretty nice setup and you know that

910
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:30.320
<v Speaker 2>was opened the whole time, so you had like plenty

911
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:32.119
<v Speaker 2>of time to go in there because there wasn't a

912
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:34.800
<v Speaker 2>whole lot to do outside. So that's always a good

913
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:37.760
<v Speaker 2>thing because I mean, and they had some like like

914
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.199
<v Speaker 2>some good under armor merchandise, had a lot of stuff there.

915
00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:40.679
<v Speaker 2>It was cool.

916
00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're they're ramping up like that's we have a

917
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:46.920
<v Speaker 1>question here about it. This is a failure in IP.

918
00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:48.760
<v Speaker 1>But well we'll get to that. We'll we get to that.

919
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:53.199
<v Speaker 1>Uh So here we go. This is the big destroying

920
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:57.440
<v Speaker 1>game San Antonio and uh Michigan Panthers. Here out for field.

921
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Let me get that pulled up here this you know,

922
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the desjoint and made the big field goal. Was all

923
00:44:04.440 --> 00:44:07.880
<v Speaker 1>excited and then they right then he missed one, but

924
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:09.719
<v Speaker 1>then he was the one to tie the game, and

925
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:11.719
<v Speaker 1>then they were like he was doing all the whatever.

926
00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:14.559
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk about it in a minute, but let's get

927
00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:15.920
<v Speaker 1>your general thoughts in the game in the world.

928
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, the first thing, I was surprised to see that

929
00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Danny Etling take to take the starting quarterback snaps. I

930
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:26.679
<v Speaker 2>was like, I mean, Bryce Perkins has completely like to me,

931
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:29.199
<v Speaker 2>he was and this line is going to be misleading

932
00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:31.280
<v Speaker 2>because Danny Etling got absolutely blown up.

933
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I was a little bit got murdered on TV.

934
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I was behind because I had just gotten back from

935
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Memphis and so I was about thirty minutes behind. And

936
00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:41.920
<v Speaker 2>that's when you texted me, it's like Danny Etling just

937
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:44.239
<v Speaker 2>got murdered on television. So I was like waiting for

938
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:47.519
<v Speaker 2>that to happen. But I was just surprised that he started,

939
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:50.239
<v Speaker 2>really because I don't know. Again, Mike Nolan knows a

940
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.239
<v Speaker 2>lot more football than I'll ever know, but it just

941
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:55.039
<v Speaker 2>seemed to me, I don't know if he's trying to

942
00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:59.119
<v Speaker 2>go two quarterbacks here, but Bryce Perkins continues to impress

943
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:01.360
<v Speaker 2>and he he comes into the game, and I mean,

944
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:05.599
<v Speaker 2>look what he did. So and then the San Antonio

945
00:45:05.719 --> 00:45:09.360
<v Speaker 2>defense started to really get after him, you know, pretty quickly.

946
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

947
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:11.719
<v Speaker 2>But then it's felt like he was starting to heat

948
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:13.800
<v Speaker 2>up in the second quarter, in the third quarter, and

949
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:15.519
<v Speaker 2>I know the fourth quarter was what you were really

950
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:16.079
<v Speaker 2>focused on.

951
00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Here, well, football fans, Yeah, Danny ally wish is he

952
00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:22.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't start the game because he did not finish well.

953
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:25.679
<v Speaker 1>But that was my thing and just and not to

954
00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:28.480
<v Speaker 1>again like I have my one Donald thing here. I'll

955
00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:32.760
<v Speaker 1>talk about this, but like like everything about the Bronx,

956
00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:35.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not even really about like Wade Phillips there, it's

957
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:38.679
<v Speaker 1>like it's all the destroying show and it's when you

958
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:41.440
<v Speaker 1>when you pin everything around him and you know he right,

959
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:43.360
<v Speaker 1>he made the first kick and then missed the second

960
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:46.000
<v Speaker 1>kick and then missed the third, like you know, and

961
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:48.920
<v Speaker 1>they're oh he like he says he's good from sixty.

962
00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I did it, And like, okay, we're doing

963
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:53.159
<v Speaker 1>the press game and they were doing this, Like I

964
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:56.000
<v Speaker 1>just I tweeted out, I said, I wish the UFL

965
00:45:56.039 --> 00:45:58.320
<v Speaker 1>would promote their football league as much as they promote

966
00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:01.599
<v Speaker 1>destroying because that is all I know, Like, let's talk

967
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:03.599
<v Speaker 1>about the new offensive. I mean, I know you don't

968
00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:05.320
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about like people stepping down, but let's

969
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.440
<v Speaker 1>like type that up. But I just it just kills

970
00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:11.400
<v Speaker 1>me that, like that's technically like my team, and I like,

971
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I I liked aj Smith and everyone, and

972
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I was more involved in them last year and you

973
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:18.280
<v Speaker 1>know before kind of all these people moved down. But

974
00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:20.800
<v Speaker 1>like it kills me that that's all we have to

975
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:22.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of hang our hats on here in San Antonio.

976
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Wade Phillips, you know that he wasn't even

977
00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:28.880
<v Speaker 2>on the sideline. They said he was in the locker

978
00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:30.639
<v Speaker 2>room for the game because he was under the weather.

979
00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, I understand. Maybe if you are continuing to

980
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:41.320
<v Speaker 2>try to bring in. You know, you're trying to bring

981
00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:44.719
<v Speaker 2>in viewers, You're trying to bring in younger viewers. This

982
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:47.719
<v Speaker 2>has not worked. It has not worked with destroying. I'm

983
00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:50.320
<v Speaker 2>sure he puts a lot of stuff on YouTube. I'm

984
00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:53.000
<v Speaker 2>sure he probably put the highlights on there. He probably

985
00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:57.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't put that kick on there. But it's not working.

986
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.719
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know we've talked to about this before.

987
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:02.719
<v Speaker 2>How you know, it's kind of like with the Luis

988
00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:05.119
<v Speaker 2>Perez or the beer snake. It's like these are the

989
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:07.599
<v Speaker 2>things that they keep saying that we see all the time.

990
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:10.760
<v Speaker 2>The casual viewer might not see all the time. But

991
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that the whole destroying thing is working.

992
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean that for the first kick he made looked

993
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:16.719
<v Speaker 2>really good. That looked like it might have been good

994
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:18.800
<v Speaker 2>from sixty, but after that kind of went downhill.

995
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, and I had that Isaac Punts. I'll play the

996
00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:24.400
<v Speaker 1>video here in the saying because I made my little

997
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:27.239
<v Speaker 1>funny montage of he's trying to miss O'donald missing. But

998
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:29.280
<v Speaker 1>like one of the quote truths I had, he was

999
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that Isaac Punts. And he has a YouTube like he's

1000
00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:34.079
<v Speaker 1>in special teams and he does YouTube. He goes. My

1001
00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:37.159
<v Speaker 1>problem with Destroying is that like the misses are so

1002
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:41.079
<v Speaker 1>he misses so much, like it's not like, oh, justin

1003
00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Tucker and then okay, it just like it's it's that

1004
00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:46.719
<v Speaker 1>that one wasn't even close. And that to me is

1005
00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:48.480
<v Speaker 1>obviously when he feels like he's you know, he doesn't

1006
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:50.400
<v Speaker 1>have the range or whatever, and then he's exerted.

1007
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:53.480
<v Speaker 2>And that was that was something that we kind of

1008
00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:58.760
<v Speaker 2>we saw with Chris Blewett that was surprising. Yeah, uh, well,

1009
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:00.840
<v Speaker 2>of course he's got it. Did you know that he

1010
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:03.360
<v Speaker 2>has millions of followers on Instagram and YouTube? But yeah,

1011
00:48:03.360 --> 00:48:05.280
<v Speaker 2>we just it was not it was not a good

1012
00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:09.360
<v Speaker 2>day for for kickers. Uh in in in Memphis, although

1013
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Houston did win the game and uh destroying Donald did not.

1014
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, here we go so and I so this killed me.

1015
00:48:16.280 --> 00:48:18.039
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sitting here watching the game and I had

1016
00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:19.920
<v Speaker 1>someone call me or I would have been on it

1017
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:22.719
<v Speaker 1>even quicker because I'm like, sit because I'm texting. I

1018
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:25.079
<v Speaker 1>think we were texting back and forth. Oh man, if

1019
00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Donald misses this kick.

1020
00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:28.679
<v Speaker 2>To go there overtime, Mike, you said he's going to

1021
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:29.559
<v Speaker 2>miss this, isn't he?

1022
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Uh So I made this I think this is going

1023
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:34.719
<v Speaker 1>to play the second I the second I played, so

1024
00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:37.199
<v Speaker 1>so we'll play this, and I said, I always wanted

1025
00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:40.119
<v Speaker 1>to do this, and it's setting something to the Titanic

1026
00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:42.599
<v Speaker 1>theme songs. I was, I've always wanted to do this.

1027
00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:45.480
<v Speaker 1>So this is Donald's kick set to the Titanic theme song.

1028
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm for good. I'm pretty proud of my soul. John.

1029
00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:07.800
<v Speaker 2>It was good kick a man while he's down.

1030
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Man. But like, but also, that's the dynamic, Like I

1031
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:15.840
<v Speaker 1>don't even care like people like, well, you're still like,

1032
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:20.280
<v Speaker 1>that's the dynamic. You're a professional athlete. I'm not like that.

1033
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:23.800
<v Speaker 1>And who was it? It was Matthew. Oh my god,

1034
00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:25.719
<v Speaker 1>I'll pull it here talking to that because I want

1035
00:49:25.719 --> 00:49:26.599
<v Speaker 1>to pull up some on the really quart.

1036
00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, when you when you continue to build someone

1037
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:32.039
<v Speaker 2>up like this like they do in these broadcasts, these

1038
00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:34.079
<v Speaker 2>things are going to happen. And when they do, you

1039
00:49:34.119 --> 00:49:37.119
<v Speaker 2>can't say, oh, well that's too bad or I mean,

1040
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:39.760
<v Speaker 2>that's it's what's gonna happen. You're right, they're professional athletes,

1041
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:41.360
<v Speaker 2>but I mean that's pretty hardcore.

1042
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Duel says, destroying this five to seven, that's not terrible.

1043
00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Felt like that was when he missed he was rushing. Well, yeah, no,

1044
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:50.039
<v Speaker 1>because he was She's in the camera, she's here. But

1045
00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that's what it was. It was Matthew and Matthew Sexton,

1046
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:54.800
<v Speaker 1>who is a friend of mine, is on the team.

1047
00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:57.360
<v Speaker 1>He's plays for the prom especial teams. He goes, Man,

1048
00:49:57.440 --> 00:49:59.039
<v Speaker 1>I thought you were a cool dude. Why are you

1049
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:02.119
<v Speaker 1>hating so much because you're playing the games. I have

1050
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:05.039
<v Speaker 1>to watch them bend over backwards to talk about Donald

1051
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:07.920
<v Speaker 1>every eighteen seconds on my TV. So he gets it,

1052
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and Matthew Sexton gets it. He goes, Okay, whatever, and

1053
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:14.880
<v Speaker 1>then we said, yeah, I like that. But I mean

1054
00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:17.320
<v Speaker 1>that was my takeaway of that game. Obviously we saw

1055
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:20.840
<v Speaker 1>that the Brahma get a bounce back with aj Smith

1056
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:23.239
<v Speaker 1>and all that. How do we feel going in the

1057
00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:25.199
<v Speaker 1>next week, and then we'll move on to the Defenders game.

1058
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I got to I can't remember who they're

1059
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:32.000
<v Speaker 2>playing here. Uh, but yes, no, I think this is

1060
00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:35.159
<v Speaker 2>again they're the best OHEN three team. I mean, I've

1061
00:50:35.159 --> 00:50:36.360
<v Speaker 2>said that again about Memphis.

1062
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

1063
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:40.719
<v Speaker 2>But there was improvement. You're seeing improvement week over week.

1064
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I go back to Kellen mand and this added dimension

1065
00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:45.840
<v Speaker 2>of him running the ball a little bit more because

1066
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:48.119
<v Speaker 2>he is an active player. I mean he is, he is,

1067
00:50:48.679 --> 00:50:52.360
<v Speaker 2>he has a he gives you a much more. He

1068
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:55.039
<v Speaker 2>gives you more of an offense when he starts to run,

1069
00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:57.159
<v Speaker 2>and he can really do that. He did it in

1070
00:50:57.199 --> 00:50:59.239
<v Speaker 2>college and we saw that a lot more. And they

1071
00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:03.639
<v Speaker 2>put in some places for that, you know, designed runs RPOs. Yeah,

1072
00:51:03.679 --> 00:51:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I I I will say, I think this is a

1073
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:07.840
<v Speaker 2>team that that does have a shot to get to

1074
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:08.679
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs.

1075
00:51:09.559 --> 00:51:12.039
<v Speaker 1>So let's move in here. Oh god, they just they

1076
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:13.280
<v Speaker 1>make this so hard to pull up.

1077
00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, Oh they played. They play the defenders, that's what

1078
00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:16.039
<v Speaker 2>they play.

1079
00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:18.079
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, there, that could be tough, all right, So

1080
00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:19.960
<v Speaker 1>here we go. Okay, well we'll do the games overthing,

1081
00:51:19.960 --> 00:51:23.159
<v Speaker 1>all right. So we got here. Yeah, defenders at battle Hawks.

1082
00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:25.320
<v Speaker 1>This was the big battle hockey and it's this big

1083
00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:28.039
<v Speaker 1>illustrious home field advantage for the battle Hawks. You can

1084
00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:30.199
<v Speaker 1>never win at home, right, defenders here at three and

1085
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the exciting game. A lot of turnovers, right, and we

1086
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:36.360
<v Speaker 1>had a Jordan Talamu with a couple of interceptions and

1087
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Wilkins with a bunch of interceptions. Thoughts on this one,

1088
00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:42.519
<v Speaker 1>I have some funny comments effort.

1089
00:51:42.800 --> 00:51:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know it was a you saw. I think

1090
00:51:46.119 --> 00:51:48.360
<v Speaker 2>it was a twelve nothing DC start there, Like they

1091
00:51:48.400 --> 00:51:52.920
<v Speaker 2>started to really get after after the BattleHawks. Uh, you

1092
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:57.000
<v Speaker 2>know many started to use his legs. I mean that

1093
00:51:57.159 --> 00:51:59.800
<v Speaker 2>is like one of I mean that is strong when

1094
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:04.639
<v Speaker 2>he that, But there's just you know, Frank Darby had

1095
00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:06.679
<v Speaker 2>hay out a great catch in that for the touchdown.

1096
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:10.880
<v Speaker 2>But it just felt like again the DC defense taking

1097
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:13.840
<v Speaker 2>nothing away. I mean DC defense was strong there, especially

1098
00:52:13.880 --> 00:52:17.480
<v Speaker 2>in the second half. Jacob Sailors continues to be a

1099
00:52:17.480 --> 00:52:20.320
<v Speaker 2>workhorse for the battle Hawks. He is so fun to watch.

1100
00:52:21.360 --> 00:52:25.199
<v Speaker 2>But that that Wilkins interception that I was thinking, it's

1101
00:52:25.199 --> 00:52:27.199
<v Speaker 2>about a minute and a half to go. I mean,

1102
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:29.639
<v Speaker 2>you just can't. You can't make that play. You can't

1103
00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:31.639
<v Speaker 2>try to make that play where you're thrown across your

1104
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:33.599
<v Speaker 2>body and try. I mean, he would have been better

1105
00:52:33.599 --> 00:52:35.400
<v Speaker 2>off to try to throw it away. I just it

1106
00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:37.960
<v Speaker 2>was he just had a bad game. And you know

1107
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:40.719
<v Speaker 2>there it had happened before when he was filling in

1108
00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:42.880
<v Speaker 2>for aj mccaeron he actually won a game. I think

1109
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:44.920
<v Speaker 2>it was him that won a game when Aj mccern

1110
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:48.280
<v Speaker 2>was hurt either last year or year before. But then

1111
00:52:48.320 --> 00:52:50.000
<v Speaker 2>there were other times that he played and he's like,

1112
00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:52.320
<v Speaker 2>that was kind of the Manny Wilkins that we saw

1113
00:52:52.360 --> 00:52:54.360
<v Speaker 2>and that might have been why he wasn't, you know,

1114
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:59.280
<v Speaker 2>getting as much playing time. But let's you know this,

1115
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:01.000
<v Speaker 2>this is a snap shot of the week. He was

1116
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:03.679
<v Speaker 2>playing a very good defense, and Manny Wilkins, I think,

1117
00:53:03.760 --> 00:53:06.079
<v Speaker 2>is is the answer. I don't you know, I thought

1118
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.320
<v Speaker 2>they were going to try a two quarterback system. He

1119
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:12.239
<v Speaker 2>noticed that Anthony Beck did not put in Max Duggan

1120
00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:14.320
<v Speaker 2>in there like for you know, any lenth the time,

1121
00:53:14.360 --> 00:53:17.280
<v Speaker 2>if at all. So that's that's not the answer either.

1122
00:53:18.440 --> 00:53:20.119
<v Speaker 2>So that was kind of my takeaway. I mean, the

1123
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:23.760
<v Speaker 2>biggest takeaway was when the announcement was going to be, Oh,

1124
00:53:23.880 --> 00:53:26.719
<v Speaker 2>they got this big announcement coming up at halftime, maybe

1125
00:53:26.760 --> 00:53:28.440
<v Speaker 2>this is when we're gonna find out who are the

1126
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:33.679
<v Speaker 2>expansion teams, because we all love expansion talk, and it was, oh,

1127
00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Saint Louis is gonna host the championship again, all right,

1128
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:39.199
<v Speaker 2>So I mean it just it felt like kind of

1129
00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:40.360
<v Speaker 2>air let him out of balloon.

1130
00:53:41.840 --> 00:53:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Actually, yeah, let me comment on that, because I do

1131
00:53:43.719 --> 00:53:45.599
<v Speaker 1>have comments about the game. We might go five minutes

1132
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:47.480
<v Speaker 1>over guys, just I'll try to keep it here close

1133
00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:49.960
<v Speaker 1>because I know it's even later for John here as normally,

1134
00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:53.280
<v Speaker 1>so I appreciate it. Yeah. So obviously they had the

1135
00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:55.960
<v Speaker 1>announcement of the Oh, they had the announcements coming to halftime.

1136
00:53:56.199 --> 00:53:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Everyone knew it was the championship I and people like, oh,

1137
00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:00.360
<v Speaker 1>do you think they're yeah, the expansion. I go, it's

1138
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:05.159
<v Speaker 1>the halftime thing. What bothered me more even than that

1139
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:08.199
<v Speaker 1>was the like I saw the clip I must have

1140
00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:12.119
<v Speaker 1>been in the post afterward with Danny Garcia talking and like, well,

1141
00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:14.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, like Saint Louis and they're so great, you know,

1142
00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:17.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of all this stuff. You guys like, if it

1143
00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:20.639
<v Speaker 1>weren't for Saint Louis, you guys would be so sol

1144
00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:22.960
<v Speaker 1>right now, Like it's not even funny. Was kind of

1145
00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:25.480
<v Speaker 1>my was kind of my takeaway of it, was like

1146
00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:29.719
<v Speaker 1>I would thank God every day right now that the

1147
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:31.920
<v Speaker 1>battle Hawks in twenty twenty and what was that Kurt

1148
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:33.920
<v Speaker 1>herb Street and or what was it? No, it wasn't.

1149
00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:37.480
<v Speaker 1>What the hell was the guy's name that ran the team?

1150
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:39.360
<v Speaker 1>What was the guy? You know, the team president for

1151
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the battle Hawks. Everyone knows this. Someone plays a Yeah.

1152
00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1153
00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:45.679
<v Speaker 1>They moved on to the baseball. They played for the

1154
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:48.599
<v Speaker 1>baseball anyway, Right, But I go, I would thank God

1155
00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:52.199
<v Speaker 1>every day that like all of this was done for you.

1156
00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:55.519
<v Speaker 1>You are the you were the example of waking up

1157
00:54:55.559 --> 00:54:59.039
<v Speaker 1>on third and thinking you hit it, like there could

1158
00:54:59.079 --> 00:55:02.119
<v Speaker 1>not be more blatant, been like, well, you know, and

1159
00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:04.760
<v Speaker 1>all this hard work we've done here, Like what hard

1160
00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:09.719
<v Speaker 1>work you haven't? You were? The attendancyer is down every

1161
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:11.159
<v Speaker 1>year since you've taken over.

1162
00:55:12.159 --> 00:55:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, and it's almost like you're you're having

1163
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:20.280
<v Speaker 2>it there by Yes, yeah, had Kurt Street in my

1164
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:26.280
<v Speaker 2>head too, but you're I mean, the Saint Louis is

1165
00:55:26.280 --> 00:55:29.280
<v Speaker 2>built in it That Saint Louis right now is built

1166
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:33.079
<v Speaker 2>for spring football, much like d C was when the

1167
00:55:33.199 --> 00:55:36.639
<v Speaker 2>NFL team in d C was bad. Uh, Saint Louis

1168
00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:40.199
<v Speaker 2>is again as a as A really good quote that

1169
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I saw in a recent ESPN article that was for

1170
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:46.079
<v Speaker 2>me was that, you know this, it was kind of

1171
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:49.199
<v Speaker 2>the middle finger to Stan Kronkey who took the Rams out.

1172
00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:52.920
<v Speaker 2>So I think that's to me, it's it's like a

1173
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:57.639
<v Speaker 2>perfect recipe for success. You have fans who are hardcore

1174
00:55:57.719 --> 00:56:01.320
<v Speaker 2>football fans who want foot and they got somebody to

1175
00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:04.639
<v Speaker 2>rail against to can go show them, Yes, this is

1176
00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:07.599
<v Speaker 2>this is what we want. So yeah, I'm not sure

1177
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:10.840
<v Speaker 2>it's the UFL or the XFL that had built this up.

1178
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's Saint Louis that's built this up.

1179
00:56:13.199 --> 00:56:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, just flashions for comments, David, no doubt read

1180
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:18.800
<v Speaker 1>if the league exists in five years, say loose would

1181
00:56:18.800 --> 00:56:21.519
<v Speaker 1>be the reason. Even though no Battlehawk's game the Dome

1182
00:56:21.639 --> 00:56:24.840
<v Speaker 1>without dry You know what, exactly one seeded at downs

1183
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:27.119
<v Speaker 1>and dems is less than twenty nine people will pay attention.

1184
00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:28.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's do a couple of game comments and

1185
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:30.760
<v Speaker 1>then that we have a couple of general comments, we'll

1186
00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:33.679
<v Speaker 1>get out. Uh so hear about this, David, just talking

1187
00:56:33.760 --> 00:56:36.599
<v Speaker 1>how about like William's fortune over three sacks? But here

1188
00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:40.360
<v Speaker 1>was my question, So Dynamite Gaming DC simply dominated the

1189
00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:44.239
<v Speaker 1>line of scrimmage rushes too much. I saw some chirping

1190
00:56:44.400 --> 00:56:49.000
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter with DC defenders coaches like hey, like Reggie

1191
00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Barlow was commenting and stuff like hey, I thought we

1192
00:56:51.039 --> 00:56:53.280
<v Speaker 1>were all gonna fall apart with Greg Williams and all

1193
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:55.840
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, and like, uh, I can't remember what he said.

1194
00:56:55.880 --> 00:56:57.599
<v Speaker 1>I think I have a bookmark. We have it. Reggie

1195
00:56:57.719 --> 00:57:02.159
<v Speaker 1>was like, ooh, tea or what I was I go, okay,

1196
00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:05.119
<v Speaker 1>but hey, look at this DC gutted and Greg Williams.

1197
00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:07.679
<v Speaker 1>That was this week also right with AJS, Like my

1198
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:10.559
<v Speaker 1>week was was wiped and that was also this week

1199
00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:11.679
<v Speaker 1>with Greg Williams leaving.

1200
00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this week it's happening. It's happening faster than Yeah,

1201
00:57:16.639 --> 00:57:19.119
<v Speaker 2>this was this was Blake was This was his Yeah,

1202
00:57:19.159 --> 00:57:24.119
<v Speaker 2>Blake Williams first uh, first game as the defensive coordinator. Yeah,

1203
00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:26.079
<v Speaker 2>and it held Saint Louis, a very good Saint Louis

1204
00:57:26.079 --> 00:57:28.559
<v Speaker 2>team to what one hundred and sixty something yards of offense,

1205
00:57:28.679 --> 00:57:31.360
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, no taking. And he also sounds exactly like

1206
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:34.000
<v Speaker 2>his dad when he's playing, when he's calling plays. It

1207
00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:34.679
<v Speaker 2>was incredible.

1208
00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:37.599
<v Speaker 1>And then here's my last coming here. David Manny was

1209
00:57:37.599 --> 00:57:39.840
<v Speaker 1>was many exposed. This is the first time Battle Hawks

1210
00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:42.079
<v Speaker 1>had to play from behind and he was forced to through. Also,

1211
00:57:42.199 --> 00:57:43.960
<v Speaker 1>this ton of I felt like a lot of pressure,

1212
00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:45.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of running in Tiamu too. It felt like,

1213
00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:48.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously the Lions and everything in this league

1214
00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and trying to get up to speed, but you know,

1215
00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:53.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of scrambling obviously pays dividends in these leagues

1216
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:56.239
<v Speaker 1>with you know, the the lack of offensive line. But what

1217
00:57:56.320 --> 00:57:58.000
<v Speaker 1>did you think of it? David's comment there.

1218
00:57:58.000 --> 00:57:59.840
<v Speaker 2>No, I think he's right. And if you saw many

1219
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:02.079
<v Speaker 2>at the when he's sitting on the bench, he looked

1220
00:58:02.079 --> 00:58:03.599
<v Speaker 2>like Rocky at the end of the I mean he

1221
00:58:03.800 --> 00:58:06.239
<v Speaker 2>was like bloody on one side. I mean that last

1222
00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:08.880
<v Speaker 2>one of the last hits, his helmet came off, and

1223
00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:12.199
<v Speaker 2>so they were really pressuring him. But you're right as

1224
00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:14.519
<v Speaker 2>far as being exposed, this is the kind of thing

1225
00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:16.360
<v Speaker 2>that we saw when he was under pressure. He was

1226
00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:19.119
<v Speaker 2>just making some really bad passes. Now, I mean a

1227
00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:21.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of quarterbacks can look good, you know, behind an

1228
00:58:21.400 --> 00:58:25.000
<v Speaker 2>offensive line that that's solid and and they can run

1229
00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and they have a running game, and that is what

1230
00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:30.280
<v Speaker 2>the BattleHawks have. But I don't think they faced the

1231
00:58:30.320 --> 00:58:33.000
<v Speaker 2>defense like like they saw in DC before. I don't

1232
00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:33.679
<v Speaker 2>think that at all.

1233
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I do it here if DC continues to be a

1234
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:39.440
<v Speaker 1>successful at Channon Harris wanted to stay as a head coach,

1235
00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:40.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe. So.

1236
00:58:41.679 --> 00:58:43.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like the pay for a head coach in

1237
00:58:43.719 --> 00:58:46.840
<v Speaker 2>the UFL be more than a QB. I mean maybe

1238
00:58:47.159 --> 00:58:48.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

1239
00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:52.159
<v Speaker 1>It's not even a money thing. It's like us want

1240
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:54.599
<v Speaker 1>to be right, Well, it's a resume thing. Do I

1241
00:58:54.679 --> 00:58:56.599
<v Speaker 1>want to be bumping shoulders and kind of in this

1242
00:58:56.800 --> 00:58:59.159
<v Speaker 1>for the next six months or there. That's kind of

1243
00:58:59.199 --> 00:59:01.280
<v Speaker 1>how I would look out. Like sometimes I might take

1244
00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:04.079
<v Speaker 1>a lesser paining I'm freelance. I might take a lesser

1245
00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:07.760
<v Speaker 1>paying gig and I'm just making up Hawaii then like

1246
00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:10.400
<v Speaker 1>making more money to go to Boise, you know, like.

1247
00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Hey, boys, he's pretty cool, but it's not Hawaii. You're right,

1248
00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:16.519
<v Speaker 2>h Yeah, I don't know that. I think that's a

1249
00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:19.079
<v Speaker 2>good question. I think Shannon Harris is really doing a

1250
00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:21.599
<v Speaker 2>good job so far. I mean, you know, and that

1251
00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Reggie Barlow was right. I thought they'd fall apart, and

1252
00:59:24.239 --> 00:59:26.639
<v Speaker 2>then you know, there was so much turmoil. I think

1253
00:59:26.679 --> 00:59:28.719
<v Speaker 2>that's been one of the good things that we have seen,

1254
00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:33.280
<v Speaker 2>uh is there's fire. There's some stability now after three weeks.

1255
00:59:33.320 --> 00:59:35.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was like before the season started, you

1256
00:59:35.679 --> 00:59:38.719
<v Speaker 2>had Reggie Barlow leaving, you had Ken wizen Hunt you know,

1257
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:41.519
<v Speaker 2>out for we didn't know how long it was. Luckily

1258
00:59:41.519 --> 00:59:43.519
<v Speaker 2>it was only a week. Then you know, you have

1259
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:46.199
<v Speaker 2>aj Smith stepping down, you had you know, whatever was

1260
00:59:46.239 --> 00:59:48.840
<v Speaker 2>going on with wayde Phillips. Uh, like one week he

1261
00:59:48.880 --> 00:59:50.960
<v Speaker 2>was up in the booth, and then there was you know,

1262
00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:52.719
<v Speaker 2>then last week he was in the locker room, so

1263
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:55.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, hopeful all is well with him. But now

1264
00:59:55.119 --> 00:59:57.199
<v Speaker 2>it feels like there's a little bit of stability. You know,

1265
00:59:57.280 --> 00:59:59.360
<v Speaker 2>those things can change, you know, on a dime, but

1266
00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:01.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, so so far, I think that's been the

1267
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:05.559
<v Speaker 2>one positive thing that we're starting to see better games,

1268
01:00:06.039 --> 01:00:10.400
<v Speaker 2>coaching stability, players stability. We haven't heard a peep or

1269
01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I haven't anyway about any kind of labor issues. So

1270
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean those are all good positive things.

1271
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:20.199
<v Speaker 1>The quest we have a question here. The one thing

1272
01:00:20.239 --> 01:00:22.679
<v Speaker 1>for me about the coaches leaving and I because that

1273
01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>was yeah, it was yeah when Greg Williams left, And

1274
01:00:26.480 --> 01:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I because I think you had sent me the article

1275
01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:31.079
<v Speaker 1>and I just tweeted out, like things go from bad

1276
01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:35.119
<v Speaker 1>to worse for the UFL. Yeah, Everyone's like again, I

1277
01:00:35.159 --> 01:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>thought that was like a that was a pretty safe

1278
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:42.199
<v Speaker 1>like wow, another coordinators leaving, Like that's not a good thing, right,

1279
01:00:42.480 --> 01:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>You're an idiot. No one's like, am I go to me,

1280
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not even that like Greg Williams is leaving or

1281
01:00:48.400 --> 01:00:52.119
<v Speaker 1>like does anyone care that Greg is? It's like the

1282
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>way I view it and this is this isn't the mean,

1283
01:00:55.440 --> 01:00:57.719
<v Speaker 1>it's reality. Is I care? And this isn't just the

1284
01:00:57.760 --> 01:01:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Greg Williams any of these coaches leaving. It's the pay

1285
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:05.039
<v Speaker 1>and whatever. At this I'm not really concerned, Like I

1286
01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>can burn this bridge to go to another bridge because

1287
01:01:08.320 --> 01:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't view myself going back here and that's just

1288
01:01:11.039 --> 01:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>not a good place to be at from the league standpoint.

1289
01:01:13.400 --> 01:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Like that's my my fear, right, like you know, yeah,

1290
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>like because like Nathan asked on Twitter, and I hate

1291
01:01:20.760 --> 01:01:22.199
<v Speaker 1>to like throw my other body is like do you

1292
01:01:22.199 --> 01:01:24.639
<v Speaker 1>think anyone's like going to DC games? Because I go,

1293
01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:28.039
<v Speaker 1>well no, But like you, when these people keep leaving

1294
01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and not caring, it just speaks to like, well, clearly

1295
01:01:30.840 --> 01:01:33.039
<v Speaker 1>they're not leaving a lot if they're happy to just

1296
01:01:33.079 --> 01:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>like walk out the door. I know people have other

1297
01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>work and like Greg wanted to go work at Tennessee

1298
01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and they the scouting time, but like whatever and all

1299
01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>these comments, but like it just doesn't look good. It's

1300
01:01:42.320 --> 01:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>not a good look. It doesn't continue to look good when,

1301
01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:47.719
<v Speaker 1>especially in the same day, when two people midweek leave,

1302
01:01:48.480 --> 01:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>two coordinators of eight teams, like there's sixteen coordinators or whatever.

1303
01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:54.679
<v Speaker 1>I think a couple of them. But you know, like

1304
01:01:54.760 --> 01:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just right, can we admit that, Like that's like

1305
01:01:57.480 --> 01:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>not the best look.

1306
01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not only my and Mike and Leon both

1307
01:02:01.920 --> 01:02:04.719
<v Speaker 2>bring up good points. Anthony Beck was looking you know,

1308
01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:07.519
<v Speaker 2>he was pretty open about West Virginia. There was also

1309
01:02:07.639 --> 01:02:11.199
<v Speaker 2>reports and as Leon pointed out, there were reports about

1310
01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:14.320
<v Speaker 2>him looking at the at a Jets coordinator job. So

1311
01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:17.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, it's not a good look. If this

1312
01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:20.960
<v Speaker 2>is you understand it. I mean we all understand that.

1313
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:24.039
<v Speaker 2>But as a league, when you start to see these

1314
01:02:24.119 --> 01:02:26.639
<v Speaker 2>kind of headlines, those are the thing gets in headlines

1315
01:02:26.639 --> 01:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>because it was funny when Greg Williams left. I saw

1316
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>a headline from it. I don't even remember where it was,

1317
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:37.199
<v Speaker 2>but it was controversial NFL coach leaves job for It's like,

1318
01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>oh my god. And then you know you click it,

1319
01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:40.679
<v Speaker 2>you see it's like, oh, it's Greg Williams who used

1320
01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:43.079
<v Speaker 2>to coach in the NFL, and that was controversial that

1321
01:02:43.159 --> 01:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>he's going to go to Tennessee State and he was

1322
01:02:45.000 --> 01:02:46.199
<v Speaker 2>a coordinator for the UFL.

1323
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that to me, I'm just like, it's just

1324
01:02:49.599 --> 01:02:51.760
<v Speaker 1>not a good look. I get it, Like I get

1325
01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>why people are doing I get what, but it's just

1326
01:02:54.159 --> 01:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>and I would like the UFL or you know, like

1327
01:02:56.920 --> 01:03:00.559
<v Speaker 1>the CFL, like people aren't just leaving CFL jobs for

1328
01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:02.719
<v Speaker 1>the most part to like go hop on and do

1329
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>like you want to be at a point where the

1330
01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:07.159
<v Speaker 1>job that I'm at at least good enough for me

1331
01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>to finish the like the job that I'm at and

1332
01:03:10.360 --> 01:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>then move on like you should be above like replacement

1333
01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:19.679
<v Speaker 1>level job. Is that? Like is that a crazy statement?

1334
01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Job after replacement? Is that the stat you're looking at?

1335
01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they appreciate. Yeah, here we go

1336
01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:27.599
<v Speaker 1>the further replacement. Yeah, we're gonna have the replacement pretty soon.

1337
01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have Shane Falco calder Reeves like running around

1338
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>here and coaching real quick. This is super quick. Here,

1339
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:36.559
<v Speaker 1>we'll get out of here. I'm on the pack just

1340
01:03:36.599 --> 01:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>next week. Yeah. So we talked about this Michigan at

1341
01:03:38.760 --> 01:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>home Saint Louis here a couple of midday games going

1342
01:03:42.400 --> 01:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>up against WrestleMania their Saturday Sunday with the Roughnecks Stallions,

1343
01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and then the DC Defenders should be good. I mean,

1344
01:03:50.320 --> 01:03:51.719
<v Speaker 1>I kind of want to see if the Brahmas have

1345
01:03:51.800 --> 01:03:54.719
<v Speaker 1>some juice there. What's standing out to you for week four.

1346
01:03:55.320 --> 01:03:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think it's good that they're playing those, you know,

1347
01:03:57.719 --> 01:04:01.119
<v Speaker 2>the Sunday games later, you know, being Easter Sunday. I

1348
01:04:01.239 --> 01:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>understand you're not gonna have a noon kickoff. I think

1349
01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>what is it five and eight? Is that what they're doing? Uh? Yeah, yeah,

1350
01:04:07.000 --> 01:04:09.800
<v Speaker 2>that I mean that makes sense and that's smart. I mean,

1351
01:04:10.239 --> 01:04:12.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's it's always tough, as you said, when

1352
01:04:12.159 --> 01:04:14.559
<v Speaker 2>you have spring football. A lot of different things happened

1353
01:04:14.599 --> 01:04:20.320
<v Speaker 2>in spring. It's gonna I'm interested to see what San

1354
01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Antonio does and is there a bounce back here for

1355
01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>for Saint Louis. I think those are the two main

1356
01:04:26.960 --> 01:04:28.679
<v Speaker 2>things that I'm looking for this week.

1357
01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so we'll figure out and like I said, next

1358
01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>week and maybe we'll do something, or maybe we'll come

1359
01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>on and just shoot the breeze. Don't know, we'll see,

1360
01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>but it might be like a loose episode next week

1361
01:04:38.920 --> 01:04:40.840
<v Speaker 1>if no one's if it's like Easter, it's kind of

1362
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:43.199
<v Speaker 1>like no one did their homework because maybe people aren't

1363
01:04:43.199 --> 01:04:45.679
<v Speaker 1>watching either. Like maybe next week we're just kind of like, hey,

1364
01:04:45.719 --> 01:04:48.280
<v Speaker 1>now no one, none of us watch the games here,

1365
01:04:48.599 --> 01:04:49.559
<v Speaker 1>let's just kind of be asked.

1366
01:04:49.880 --> 01:04:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's deep dive into one game because I know

1367
01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:54.599
<v Speaker 2>I can watch that at least on the treadmill or something.

1368
01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's do that. This is my last comment. They

1369
01:04:57.679 --> 01:04:59.239
<v Speaker 1>just made me laugh and then I'll tell my story.

1370
01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:01.719
<v Speaker 1>We'll get out of here. No, that wasn't that one

1371
01:05:02.320 --> 01:05:06.079
<v Speaker 1>where well, yeah, Lise Fan said, is this a failure

1372
01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>or are we in the year four of spring football

1373
01:05:08.360 --> 01:05:13.199
<v Speaker 1>with talks have expanded? Fan. I think that's a very loaded,

1374
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>fair question. And I think either is is I think

1375
01:05:16.400 --> 01:05:18.559
<v Speaker 1>either is fair.

1376
01:05:19.239 --> 01:05:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean we Yeah, we get a little negative

1377
01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:26.519
<v Speaker 2>on here. That's true sometimes because we're fearful because history

1378
01:05:26.559 --> 01:05:29.440
<v Speaker 2>has been a history has been a teacher for us

1379
01:05:29.800 --> 01:05:31.639
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of things. But that is a very

1380
01:05:31.639 --> 01:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>good point. We're in year four and there is talk

1381
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:38.239
<v Speaker 2>of expansion. Uh, and I think it is serious talk. Uh.

1382
01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:40.199
<v Speaker 1>And then last year, yeah, Liam was hagging you then

1383
01:05:40.280 --> 01:05:42.199
<v Speaker 1>got the UFL with these copy of really yeah the

1384
01:05:42.280 --> 01:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I f a staff today, I'm like.

1385
01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:47.559
<v Speaker 2>That wasn't crazy, Like, I mean, it's not really a surprise,

1386
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>but like, and then the four teams were going to

1387
01:05:49.880 --> 01:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>like split off and make their own thing, and.

1388
01:05:52.400 --> 01:05:54.880
<v Speaker 1>That's my thing. And then I see them tweet I

1389
01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:57.239
<v Speaker 1>we were talking in the group chat that the i

1390
01:05:57.280 --> 01:06:01.559
<v Speaker 1>f A is like the MLF football like in disguise.

1391
01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Like it is. I mean, but it's going to kick

1392
01:06:03.360 --> 01:06:05.360
<v Speaker 2>off next year and next year and next year.

1393
01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:08.559
<v Speaker 1>No. No last week for me. So John remember last

1394
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>week and I was like we yo. I was starting

1395
01:06:10.920 --> 01:06:12.679
<v Speaker 1>to feel sick kind of like midway through the show

1396
01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:14.159
<v Speaker 1>and I was like John, we got off the show.

1397
01:06:14.159 --> 01:06:15.880
<v Speaker 1>It was like John, I got to get out. I

1398
01:06:16.159 --> 01:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>was sick from Monday. We got off the show at

1399
01:06:19.440 --> 01:06:21.599
<v Speaker 1>four and I immediately went in and threw up. I

1400
01:06:21.599 --> 01:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>think I had food poisoning. I did not really eat

1401
01:06:25.400 --> 01:06:30.079
<v Speaker 1>solids till about Friday. Like I was very, very very sick.

1402
01:06:30.159 --> 01:06:34.719
<v Speaker 1>I I room serviced a bagel a to bagel to

1403
01:06:34.800 --> 01:06:38.199
<v Speaker 1>my hotel room about ten o'clock on Wednesday night to

1404
01:06:38.199 --> 01:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>see if I could eat something. But I could not

1405
01:06:40.039 --> 01:06:44.239
<v Speaker 1>keep solids down Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday until about ten

1406
01:06:44.239 --> 01:06:48.280
<v Speaker 1>o'clock that show and I podcast through John, you know

1407
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:52.039
<v Speaker 1>we no. I like that was I I literally like,

1408
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:54.039
<v Speaker 1>was ht the point where that's how sick? I was

1409
01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>like I can't. I came home. I came home and

1410
01:06:56.360 --> 01:07:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I go like I I I have suffered from like

1411
01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>any disorders in my life, so I can talk about

1412
01:07:03.920 --> 01:07:06.639
<v Speaker 1>this like very very openly. But I was like, I'm

1413
01:07:06.679 --> 01:07:09.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of excited to weigh myself because I wanted to see, Like,

1414
01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:11.559
<v Speaker 1>because I had gotten to be such a fatty, I

1415
01:07:11.639 --> 01:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of wanted to see. I mean, I'm over it now.

1416
01:07:13.559 --> 01:07:17.159
<v Speaker 1>But no, I Leon, I think I lost like many pounds,

1417
01:07:17.199 --> 01:07:19.079
<v Speaker 1>So it was good. I'm ready for Vegas. I'm in

1418
01:07:19.119 --> 01:07:19.639
<v Speaker 1>pools shape.

1419
01:07:19.880 --> 01:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>You are? You got guns? Are out? Ready to go?

1420
01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:28.239
<v Speaker 1>Any there? Anything else from you, John before we get out?

1421
01:07:28.639 --> 01:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I think you know. Again, on a positive note,

1422
01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:35.239
<v Speaker 2>you're right. I mean, I think this was the best week,

1423
01:07:35.280 --> 01:07:38.159
<v Speaker 2>and I think what we saw again the point you

1424
01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:40.639
<v Speaker 2>brought up, we're starting to see these teams play together,

1425
01:07:40.760 --> 01:07:44.119
<v Speaker 2>practice together, and they're much better. So that was I think.

1426
01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:47.239
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully that's this is a trend that will continue and

1427
01:07:47.400 --> 01:07:50.280
<v Speaker 2>hopefully we'll see some of these ratings and attendances start

1428
01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:51.159
<v Speaker 2>to move this way too.

1429
01:07:51.719 --> 01:07:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know, I didn't. I did. I did not

1430
01:07:54.239 --> 01:07:59.119
<v Speaker 1>have the VID. I I have been traveling for work

1431
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>sickly for a month, off and on for a month,

1432
01:08:03.719 --> 01:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and I have been sick some portion of that the

1433
01:08:06.639 --> 01:08:08.679
<v Speaker 1>entire time. In terms of a head colt or a

1434
01:08:08.679 --> 01:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>stomach like a stomach bug or I think I had

1435
01:08:11.880 --> 01:08:14.559
<v Speaker 1>sinus whatever, and then food poisoning. So like I'm ready

1436
01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>to just not be I would just like to be, like,

1437
01:08:17.399 --> 01:08:19.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can stay at home and be sick.

1438
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's really bad. John getting on a plane

1439
01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and flying to Orlando.

1440
01:08:23.279 --> 01:08:26.680
<v Speaker 2>I can't imagine. Listen, players are supposed to be not

1441
01:08:26.840 --> 01:08:29.159
<v Speaker 2>healthy during the season, not people who just sit and

1442
01:08:29.199 --> 01:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>talk about it.

1443
01:08:30.039 --> 01:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, but no, I'm very excited. I think

1444
01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:35.119
<v Speaker 1>this was a great week. We'll figure out next week

1445
01:08:35.560 --> 01:08:38.159
<v Speaker 1>all of that stuff. But no, like this is the

1446
01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>best balance. A couple of decent games, some funny things

1447
01:08:41.640 --> 01:08:44.560
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. Donald missed a kick like that. That's

1448
01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>all I need to you, you know what I mean.

1449
01:08:46.039 --> 01:08:49.520
<v Speaker 1>And like people are, oh, you're like, it's okay, it's okay,
