00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, one of these weeks, I'm gonna get caught looking

2
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>like a dummy here in the background, John, because I, like,

3
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, start the video and now I'm like in

4
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the background, like you know, trying to retweet and post

5
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and do whatever, and then I still don't know that

6
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>dang intro music, so I keep how like I knew

7
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the old one, so I knew exactly, Like how long

8
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>do I have to switch over? But anyway, here we

9
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>are welcome John Lost to talk about today UFL Week nine.

10
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>How are you, sir, good man?

11
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.719
<v Speaker 2>It's like we you know, we had a couple of

12
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>good games here this past week, even though they don't

13
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 2>really count for much. I mean, I guess they count

14
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 2>for the final record as we will see in week ten.

15
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 2>A lot of news going out on out there or maybe.

16
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 1>News maybe news, yet lots to talk about today UFL

17
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>will talk through the games over the weekend. We have

18
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>the Delay game, the ESPN three O Show, plus we

<v Speaker 1>news here. Mark Perry with UFL News, have lots of

21
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>thoughts here I have on that I tweeted out my

22
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>findings on that involved with new trademarks and potential expansion

23
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>or relocation. We will talk through all of that today

24
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and then that we have Mike Mitchell's Friday TV Reports,

25
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 1>we have attendance ratings and everything else. We'll look ahead

26
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to the playoffs. How does that all sound there?

27
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 2>John sounds good man. I'm ready for the return of

28
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 2>the Oakland Invaders. I hear it's happening.

29
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll probably lead off with that here. We'll get

30
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>to that in Brabar. Another great show inbound, Denzel checking

31
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>here co Co do you well, Scott rejoining here, you know,

32
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 1>becoming a member of it. That's fair. I mean I'm

33
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 1>kind of rejoined the podcast off and on too, So

34
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 1>if you need to step off and step back on

35
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>the podcast, I get that. Yeah. And a duel here,

36
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Mark Perry very popular over the weekend. Yes, I guess

37
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>we can talk through that first and foremost. I'll put

38
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that up and we got I have the Pro Football

39
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 1>News Room. We'll talk through the Michigan and kind of

40
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff as well. But this kind of shocked

41
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>me going into the I guess this was Saturday, right.

42
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 1>It came out and Mark had this article or exclusive

43
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>exclusive because the trademark data publicly searched online trademark databases

44
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 1>and that's a private information exclusive UFL trademark filing, significant signal,

45
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 1>potential expansion with four historic UFL franchises, And so Mark

46
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Perry and we go through all this, but he has

47
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 1>a whole article up and you can check out. You

48
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 1>can see I've even perused this myself here talking through

49
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 1>but notably Mark Perry, through his research at the Oakland Invaders,

50
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Stars, New Jersey Generals in Tampa Bay Bandits Marc

51
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>has noted recent trademark filing updates to all of those.

52
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>I have my thoughts on all of that stuff, but

53
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>this got a lot of people talking. Right We're getting

54
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>near the end of the season, John, and we've been

55
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.159
<v Speaker 1>talking are we getting new cities? Are we getting an expansion?

56
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>All this stuff? We've announced season ticket renewals, is something

57
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>coming at the at the championship game? Kind of everything else?

58
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 1>What did you make of this? Because this, uh, as

59
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>much as spring football news on the Saturday over Memorial

60
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>that wee can can make waves, this did make waves.

61
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it did. Uh. You know the first thing I

62
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>thought was, oh, you know, maybe maybe they are going

63
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 2>to move toward this or that they're they're gonna, you know,

64
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 2>put these in their back pocket in case you know,

65
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Houston or Michigan, or are not Michigan but Houston or

66
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Memphis need to relocate. And then those are your two

67
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 2>expansion teams. Those. That was the first thing went my mind.

68
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>But then I thought, we've seen this play out before,

69
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>uh several times. You know, one of the companies that's

70
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 2>involved here had re upped on some of these trademarks.

71
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Then I started thinking, well, some of you out there

72
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>might have checked out the UFL dot com. There's a

73
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>place there on the shop called the Vault, And I thought,

74
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 2>are they is this gonna be a merchandise play now,

75
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>are they like really gonna lean into We're gonna own

76
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna own these trademarks and start selling merchandise because

77
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 2>there's some like there's actually some real stuff on there

78
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 2>on the vault, like game you stuff from the two

79
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 2>thousand and one XFL There's all kinds of things. So I,

80
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, my mind went to one hundred different directions

81
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, this little bomb here drops.

82
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so we've been trying I'm just I'm trying

83
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 1>to pull up the vault here as we're talking about

84
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 1>this just so yes, and so you can you can

85
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of see all this and this used to be housed.

86
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Even there was like another site I kind of had

87
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>my eyes on for a while by in or maybe

88
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>it was like the XFL twenty twenty three stuff. There

89
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>was a site for a while that was holding not

90
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 1>on eBay and it was kind of holding some of this.

91
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>But that's interesting yet, so there uh conceivably, right, if

92
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the UFL is going to exist for let's say in

93
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>another next five ten years, you want to be able

94
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.079
<v Speaker 1>to sell all this stuff. And we've John as a

95
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Commander's redskins Washington fan, I know well aware and the

96
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.879
<v Speaker 1>debates right now about preserving historical and use and all

97
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. So is that where your mind went originally

98
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 1>or did it go to New cities and all that.

99
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean the first thing I thought was there's

100
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 2>a reason that they're doing this, and maybe it is.

101
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're gonna relocate it. It makes the math

102
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>makes sense if you if you think about their plan.

103
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 2>There's talk of relocating two teams maybe you know, maybe Houston, Memphis,

104
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>some people say even Birmingham, and then you know, adding

105
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>to so it's like, Okay, you know, maybe this is

106
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>just these are placeholders for them to do this, and

107
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 2>they've obviously done the research and they've tried this before.

108
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 2>And as Mark Perry pointed out, these were things that

109
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 2>were kate. He talked about it about like the case

110
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 2>or the trademarks were suspended, but then they re upped.

111
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>You know more about this than I do. But then

112
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>but that this was like they wanted to get this done.

113
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>So to me, something was going on.

114
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's been a long and I used to honestly

115
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 1>when I saw this Saturday, we were we had something

116
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>going on. And I ended up catching up a lot

117
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.040
<v Speaker 1>of the games on Saturday afternoon and then Sunday with

118
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the kind of the delay, and we can talk through

119
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 1>all that. With the Indye card, I bet that the

120
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>I wish that was out today, and that Sunday ABC game,

121
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 1>I wish that. I was just thinking about that because

122
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 1>I thought that would have been live today with the holiday.

123
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that will be quote the highest spring football

124
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>game watched in the last whatever, if they can get

125
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 1>that over run timed out right. But anyway, I saw

126
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the article come out and I thought, well, that's cute,

127
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>like and not being dismissive. I used to kind of

128
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.319
<v Speaker 1>really look at all that stuff too when I was

129
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>doing the podcast every week, and you know, we'd have

130
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>to fill hour and a half two hours. I'm like,

131
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>who the hell am I going to talk to? Okay, like,

132
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>looks like they made an update on the Canton Gold Okay,

133
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 1>let's call Paul Reaves and come on. So I was

134
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>just kind of looking at it for all that and anyway,

135
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and I finally get down today and I'm like, all right,

136
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 1>we need to talk about this today on the show

137
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 1>and all kind of all this stuff I want to

138
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>get to also this whole like are we expanding this year?

139
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of Mark's story, and I haven't heard

140
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>back from him, I posted and tagged him and all that.

141
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.279
<v Speaker 1>So I did my research today. I went on because

142
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Mark did all the stuff and looked at all the

143
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and I have all the browsers saved and all of

144
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. But if you go on, you can look

145
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>for all of these new trademarks for the New Jersey Generals,

146
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.959
<v Speaker 1>for the Oakland Invaders, for the Philadelphia Stars and the

147
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay Bandits, and when you filter out, because all

148
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>of these trademarks have been owned like off and on

149
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 1>throughout the years. Brian Woods picked up a lot of

150
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>these back throughout his Spring League things, and we would

151
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of remember the Generals were kind of with the

152
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 1>Spring League and we kind of had other things and

153
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.199
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about all that stuff. Fox brings in

154
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Brian Woods. They get control of all of that stuff,

155
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 1>So I don't That's when I kind of gave up

156
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the like searching the minutia day in of day out.

157
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 1>But when I go on today, this is what I saw.

158
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>So I did the research. They usually looking at the trademarks.

159
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 1>The work that I saw that was done on May

160
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>six for all four of these, and I have the

161
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>screenshots of the three and then the ones showing what

162
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Speaker 1>they did. Two classes were filed each by USFL enterprises.

163
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>There's kind of a mishmash of holding groups and that

164
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:19.279
<v Speaker 1>might be part of it as well, because the XFL

165
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 1>owns some of this stuff and then the USFL and

166
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>they've kind of rebranded. They were the MSFL and then

167
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:29.439
<v Speaker 1>they were the UFL. Now anyway, two amounts, you know,

168
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 1>you can see seven hundred dollars year paid for two

169
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 1>classes for the Generals. Seven hundred paid for the bandits

170
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>for the Invaders, and then the other team, the Stars,

171
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>is there as well, and they were adding international classes

172
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>for notably board games and stickers bumper stickers, mostly related

173
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to football. That is what I saw on that So

174
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>do I view that on Tuesday, May twenty seventh, that

175
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>one of those four franchises is likely to return it.

176
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel any more or less because of any

177
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 1>of these trademark violins. Do you feel different now or

178
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 1>any questions on any of my homework?

179
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 2>No? No, because remember there was the trademark what was

180
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 2>the Nashville team, I can't remember what it was called.

181
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 2>There was that, there was the Aviators, there was I mean,

182
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>there was the Canton or there was Bulldogs. I can't

183
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.720
<v Speaker 2>remember if it was Canton Bulldogs or not. But I

184
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.399
<v Speaker 2>always thought the NFL owned that trademark. I don't know,

185
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>but no, I mean I think I'm I'm with you,

186
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.399
<v Speaker 2>and it's Someone in the chat also pointed out too,

187
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 2>it's like it's a kill switch. I mean, it makes sense.

188
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 2>It's like I was, I was trying to articulate that, yeah,

189
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.279
<v Speaker 2>it's this is this might be something. We're going to

190
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.120
<v Speaker 2>keep these in our back pockets just so we own

191
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 2>these franchises, we own these names, and you know, maybe

192
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.279
<v Speaker 2>there's an opportunity where we might are a situation where

193
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.519
<v Speaker 2>we have to break them out. I hope that's not

194
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 2>the case, because you don't want to be that. You know,

195
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.799
<v Speaker 2>we've got to we're gonna break this out in you know,

196
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.840
<v Speaker 2>in case of emergency, and you've got like you know, Oakland.

197
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you can you can do that in

198
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>a place that. I mean, if you're going to move

199
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>these franchises or open new franchises, you have to go

200
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 2>into the markets that want them, and you got to

201
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.039
<v Speaker 2>really do a lot of forethought. And I would hope

202
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the UFL, you know, has done that. Maybe maybe we're

203
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:13.879
<v Speaker 2>reading too much into this too.

204
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Well and what what what? What kills me about all this?

205
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>And so and you can search on and do all

206
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. And yeah, they own and John and I

207
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 1>think have even done this on the Weekly Show. But

208
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>we've done this over the summer and looked and I

209
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>mean they own a combination of so many different ones

210
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 1>and and when you look here at the thing, you

211
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 1>know where it's uh and I've lost my I'm in

212
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the vault here, you know where it's like the seven

213
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.639
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars for the two Like, I don't that doesn't

214
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>mean like Apple owns billions and billions and billions of

215
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>all these you know, trademarks and patents and all that stuff.

216
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh to me, like even just the greater kind of

217
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 1>thought about this. And I think Mike was saying in

218
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.039
<v Speaker 1>the chat Danny was on talking about all their ips

219
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 1>or something that I didn't see that, but you know

220
00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>they brag about all this. It goes back to my

221
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.279
<v Speaker 1>problem from the beginning with all of this when they

222
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>asked Darryll back with the USFL like, why did you

223
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>pick these eight markets? And he goes, well, these are

224
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the trademarks we owned, we wanted to use them. And

225
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, that's a terrible That's a terrible way to

226
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.399
<v Speaker 1>decide where to play the football team. So yeah, Like

227
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.759
<v Speaker 1>because the now, I think the only one that could

228
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 1>potentially work would be the Generals and you would just

229
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 1>get the pop out of that because of Trump and

230
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the President. I I could imagine all that, John, don't

231
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I just don't need that in my football life. I

232
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:32.320
<v Speaker 1>don't need Trump involved in the.

233
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 2>More red merchandise. You could totally get there.

234
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>More red, but but you know, like some of the

235
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:40.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the Stars, I think like whatever, whatever,

236
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 1>whatever pop you got on, Like the activations of these franchises.

237
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I think we got back in twenty two and they

238
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 1>told the botched that right because the lawsuit, we couldn't

239
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>promote everything. Then they got that cleared away, and now

240
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>we have a we never got that right, we never

241
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.679
<v Speaker 1>got the like now it's the USFL is back. It's

242
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>all together and I don't image and there's like a

243
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>contingent in Philadelphia that's like waiting for the Stars activation

244
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>here in twenty twenty five, like, oh, we've been holding

245
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>on you know, you're.

246
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Right, Oh they're coming back. And yeah, although they kind

247
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:14.600
<v Speaker 2>of had them but kind of didn't, you know, also

248
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.279
<v Speaker 2>kind of cross. I mean, this is all speculation, of course,

249
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 2>because that's what we do, but you know, part of

250
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.639
<v Speaker 2>it could be. I also wonder too if there might

251
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.120
<v Speaker 2>have been some other entities out there that wanted to

252
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>use those trademarks, because we know that a lot of

253
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:32.279
<v Speaker 2>the USFL, a lot of the copyrights and trademarks, you know,

254
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 2>lapsed when the league folded. That's why if you watch

255
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.600
<v Speaker 2>a lot of movies in the eighties, and nineties and

256
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 2>someone's watching a football game, it's always a USFL game

257
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:44.159
<v Speaker 2>because they all those copyrights just disappeared. But you know,

258
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I do wonder if there's some of that, because I

259
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.279
<v Speaker 2>believe there's an indoor football team in San Antonio that

260
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.600
<v Speaker 2>caused himself, the Gunslingers, So so I don't know if

261
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.679
<v Speaker 2>it was Maybe they're trying to protect those for another

262
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.480
<v Speaker 2>reason too, But you know, I mean we could speculate

263
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 2>about one hundred different situations that they were using for that.

264
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, real quick, So I just search here, here's a

265
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.480
<v Speaker 1>USFL owner. I mean, this is all that you know.

266
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this isn't even this is two hundred and

267
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty two. And then if you look here, you know,

268
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if anything you know, and then

269
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.279
<v Speaker 1>they're still transferring stuff over. So I mean, it's just

270
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>not anyway, uh to the thought of the expansion. Oh,

271
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 1>it's just when you talk about the rights being I

272
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:27.360
<v Speaker 1>still always love that movie The Seventh Day with Arnold Schwarzenegger,

273
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>where you know, it's this it's this futuristic sci fi

274
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.559
<v Speaker 1>world where the XFL is the is the premier football

275
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:38.039
<v Speaker 1>league and they're getting paid like five hundreds and they

276
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.759
<v Speaker 1>and the quarterback dies and they have to clone them

277
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.960
<v Speaker 1>because there's so much money in the I mean, this

278
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:44.919
<v Speaker 1>isn't the first If you want to go the look

279
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.440
<v Speaker 1>up the Seventh Day. First five minutes in the movie,

280
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the guy breaks his neck and they're like, well, we

281
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 1>got to clone and we just signed them to this

282
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 1>real wow, I really know that. But so because of

283
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 1>this and because of the expansion, and because we are

284
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:03.120
<v Speaker 1>at week nine and we have articles like Mike Florio

285
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 1>here talking about you know, with two thousand fans and

286
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously crediting Mike Mitchell. We appreciate that, Mike

287
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Fourrio and all that, there seems to be a lot

288
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.639
<v Speaker 1>of talk right now, what do you think, I mean,

289
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:17.440
<v Speaker 1>is this just because we're at the end of the season,

290
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 1>because we're kind of we we have two seasons worth

291
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of a data over this, Like what what do

292
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you make of all this conversation?

293
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's there are a lot of I

294
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:31.879
<v Speaker 2>will say, Mike Florio before has treated the UFL and

295
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 2>has covered it seriously, you know, positively and negatively. I don't.

296
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I never did see anything that was super unfair,

297
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:45.240
<v Speaker 2>but that's true. But I think Yeah, I think there's

298
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of speculation because I think there's a lot

299
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.120
<v Speaker 2>of talk about what's going on, and maybe this has

300
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.320
<v Speaker 2>gotten a little more attention here toward the end as

301
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.279
<v Speaker 2>they kind of ramp up going toward the playoffs. You know,

302
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 2>in certain circles. I'm not saying nationally, I just don't.

303
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's the case it uh, but yeah,

304
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's you know, it's a football site, and

305
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.120
<v Speaker 2>it's we're in a click based economy now and journalism

306
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.360
<v Speaker 2>is very much, you know, different than it than it

307
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.759
<v Speaker 2>was in the past when we practiced it.

308
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, I practice of journalistic standards. I already got

309
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>yelled at once here. That's last month for talking about it.

310
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I do like this comment from Darren here real quick,

311
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and I have some advance in Houston Memphis figured out

312
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.399
<v Speaker 1>that the season ticket presale is a test to measure

313
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>fan interests. Are the clueless thinking about the guaranteed I

314
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>like that. I mean, we haven't even talked that much

315
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>about that, but I love that that. It's like, let's

316
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>see you, let's see how many people are wanting to

317
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.879
<v Speaker 1>come back on that. I will say when you have

318
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>articles like this here with mister Florio and all who's

319
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.960
<v Speaker 1>actually really nice. I mean, he always responds all my emails.

320
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I have no I don't think Mark Perry likes Mark Florio,

321
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.279
<v Speaker 1>if that makes it feel any better or not. But

322
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.639
<v Speaker 1>like articles like that, and then when you hear about

323
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>expansion or relocation, it doesn't feel like the UFL is

324
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>coming from a position of strength, right you Then I

325
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 1>would feel like, oh, we're we're expanding a relocating, right

326
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.639
<v Speaker 1>because we need more fans or more money or whatever.

327
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's to me it's hard to do both like

328
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.919
<v Speaker 1>that and feel like you're expanding a relocating except just

329
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to kind of scurry to find more fans wherever they are, right.

330
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.279
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Mike Florio is he's old like the

331
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.200
<v Speaker 2>rest of us, and he remembers how many of these

332
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.440
<v Speaker 2>spring leagues. You know, I was talking to somebody today.

333
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I had released a video and we were talking about

334
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Memphis kind of in the comments there, and it's like,

335
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:37.039
<v Speaker 2>it's amazing how many flirtations with pro football that Memphis

336
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.000
<v Speaker 2>has and the bottom line is they've been burnt by

337
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.279
<v Speaker 2>every one of them. So a lot of us remember

338
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.440
<v Speaker 2>all these spring leagues that have come and go and frankly,

339
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, we've seen a few just in

340
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.279
<v Speaker 2>the last you know, five years, six years. I remember

341
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.720
<v Speaker 2>back in two thousand and one, and I think it

342
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:57.559
<v Speaker 2>was the third week of the season, there was an

343
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:00.720
<v Speaker 2>article on ESPN dot com, you know, back when you

344
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.799
<v Speaker 2>had to wind up your computer to get it. That

345
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.920
<v Speaker 2>was the XFL people were publicly talking about going to Washington,

346
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.599
<v Speaker 2>d C. And some other places to look at potential

347
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>expansion cities. So I think, you know, Mike Florio again

348
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 2>to my point, is like he's you know, old like us,

349
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and he just remembers we've heard that, we've seen this

350
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.599
<v Speaker 2>movie before and it ends the same way. And there

351
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.599
<v Speaker 2>are some people that have said that they think Memphis

352
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.079
<v Speaker 2>is not going to go anywhere because of the FedEx

353
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.440
<v Speaker 2>and Fred's you know, Smith connection. I'm just not seeing

354
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:35.720
<v Speaker 2>that because unless they start to sell these franchises and

355
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Fred Smith and Tom Brady and whoever else and these

356
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:41.640
<v Speaker 2>up you know, John Gruden and whoever else they want

357
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to bring into this. Unless they these guys actually do this,

358
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:47.880
<v Speaker 2>there's gonna have to be some change. And there are

359
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people who say that, you know, they

360
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.440
<v Speaker 2>think change it would hurt the league. I don't know

361
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 2>that you can have two thousand people show up for

362
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.720
<v Speaker 2>a game and say we've got we can't you know,

363
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:57.880
<v Speaker 2>we'll leave that alone.

364
00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and even it does. It does feel like even

365
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Mark and from looking at his Twitter today to get

366
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.079
<v Speaker 1>the article so I could read the article to talk

367
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.759
<v Speaker 1>about all that stuff, he was even like, it feels

368
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.759
<v Speaker 1>like everyone's kind of over Memphis on this. But I

369
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:13.359
<v Speaker 1>just I don't know, and I want to because I

370
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:15.079
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure we talk about this Tom Brady

371
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.119
<v Speaker 1>and the owners and all that. But to your point,

372
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.640
<v Speaker 1>when we're talking through the sale and all of this,

373
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>when you're looking here, you know, Houston, Burning Hill, like what,

374
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't know what you're And I've said

375
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:27.799
<v Speaker 1>this before, I don't know what you're buying. And not

376
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:29.599
<v Speaker 1>to harp on all this stuff, but we're having this

377
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.079
<v Speaker 1>conversation right now. I don't know if fred Smith or

378
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Jack Smith or Debbie Smith or anyone wants two thousand people,

379
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>and I don't You're not buying anything at that point,

380
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.839
<v Speaker 1>unless unless you're able to say, well, shoot, I get

381
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 1>ten percent of all the Memphis show boats gear that

382
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.440
<v Speaker 1>we're selling in the vault. But even that, like do

383
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I caring, like I don't know. I watched Ark Tank

384
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot, like where am I getting my money back?

385
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:52.519
<v Speaker 2>John?

386
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Like, I'm by the show? Where am I getting it back?

387
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:54.920
<v Speaker 1>You know?

388
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're right, like you know what are what are

389
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:00.960
<v Speaker 2>you buying? If you were an owner? And yes, Abdul,

390
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.279
<v Speaker 2>I did see your comment about parking, because it would

391
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.640
<v Speaker 2>have been amazing parking I would have gotten in Memphis

392
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 2>for two thousand people, which there's no way there was

393
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 2>two thousand people there. I don't want to pick on Memphis,

394
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:13.079
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just saying that when you start to see

395
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 2>this in the community, why would you say, first of all,

396
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:20.680
<v Speaker 2>what am I buying? And also are people in my

397
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.240
<v Speaker 2>community going to show up just because I'm the owner.

398
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure that that's going to be the case.

399
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know unless there are owners out there who

400
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.319
<v Speaker 2>think or potential owners who think I'm the guy who

401
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.400
<v Speaker 2>can turn this around. And I hope there are I

402
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:38.000
<v Speaker 2>hope there are eight out there. I hope there are

403
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:40.720
<v Speaker 2>ten out there. But I don't know when you start

404
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 2>to see these and if they get the actual attendance numbers,

405
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, we know that it's not going

406
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.880
<v Speaker 2>to be what those are so they got to open

407
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 2>the books. I would love to see the open books

408
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.519
<v Speaker 2>on the entire league and some of these teams.

409
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you talking about this like you know, if someone

410
00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:59.599
<v Speaker 1>can sit there and think like, well can I do better?

411
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:01.680
<v Speaker 1>To me, it's hard when you to be an owner

412
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.359
<v Speaker 1>of video these and you look and you go Jesus

413
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.000
<v Speaker 1>like You've got Fox and ESPN and Red Bird and

414
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Danny Garcia and the Rock and the FedEx guy and

415
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.880
<v Speaker 1>all the every TV. I'm like, you still can't, like,

416
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:15.240
<v Speaker 1>what the hell am I going to do? I mean

417
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:17.079
<v Speaker 1>that's almost like when I would look at it, like,

418
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, because I don't know what and not to

419
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:23.359
<v Speaker 1>say it's not in the possibility. But I don't think

420
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:26.160
<v Speaker 1>that when when ownership, I don't think understands how to

421
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:28.640
<v Speaker 1>sell their league versus besides, just like this is just

422
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:30.599
<v Speaker 1>more of what you watch in the fall. I don't know.

423
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:33.759
<v Speaker 1>And I was even getting into that, I think over

424
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the weekend with just like you know, sequel Itis and

425
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:38.039
<v Speaker 1>all these reboots and kind of everything, I'm like, well,

426
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:40.039
<v Speaker 1>here we just put it on, like people watch it.

427
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:42.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like, well they actually need to, you know, you

428
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:43.839
<v Speaker 1>need to give people a reason to want to. Oh,

429
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:45.839
<v Speaker 1>that's what it was. It was the whole Emory hunting

430
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.039
<v Speaker 1>this morning, That's what it was. And it was where

431
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:50.000
<v Speaker 1>he was like, and I love Emory, but he's like,

432
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:52.799
<v Speaker 1>you don't love football unless you watch every pro league

433
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.319
<v Speaker 1>like I do. And you're like, that's not a selling

434
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:58.559
<v Speaker 1>point to the UFL. Is this is for the hardcores

435
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:02.880
<v Speaker 1>of No, this should be like, hey, mom, Sue Johnson,

436
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.079
<v Speaker 1>you watch football every day every day during college.

437
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.519
<v Speaker 2>And the NFL.

438
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Why doesn't my mom watch the UFL?

439
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

440
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, that is why they need to decide.

441
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.440
<v Speaker 2>There is a hardcore group of fans that are watching

442
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:20.799
<v Speaker 2>the UFL. I mean, and they're also probably watching this

443
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:24.240
<v Speaker 2>podcast right now or we'll watch it later. That's the problem.

444
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:27.839
<v Speaker 2>Maybe yeah, right, because we're so negative about everything, I

445
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:32.319
<v Speaker 2>understand that, but I mean, but seriously, there is good play,

446
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:35.880
<v Speaker 2>there are good stories, there are things to sell with

447
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:39.400
<v Speaker 2>this league. But you're right, it's like you have to

448
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 2>get out of the you know, you have to get

449
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:45.599
<v Speaker 2>out of the hardcore sickos like us, and yeah, we

450
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:47.440
<v Speaker 2>need to get your mom to watch, We need to

451
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>get all these other people to watch, because there are

452
00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:53.400
<v Speaker 2>people and I've said this before, and it continues to happen.

453
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.359
<v Speaker 2>There are people that I know because I worked in

454
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.200
<v Speaker 2>sports television for thirty years and I have a lot

455
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 2>of friends, and they always, of course make fun of

456
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.400
<v Speaker 2>me for watching as they you know, say like bootleg

457
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:05.599
<v Speaker 2>football or whatever, and I'm like, no, it's this is

458
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.160
<v Speaker 2>this is real football. You should you should watch it.

459
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:10.920
<v Speaker 2>They still don't know the names of the name of

460
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:14.079
<v Speaker 2>the league. And and these are people who work in

461
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.160
<v Speaker 2>sports broadcasting. So I mean that's just telling you, like

462
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:21.079
<v Speaker 2>they there needs to be something to start, you know,

463
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.000
<v Speaker 2>spreading the word a little bit more somehow. I mean,

464
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:25.960
<v Speaker 2>we've talked about this over and over, but you but

465
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:28.759
<v Speaker 2>you're right to the point of ownership. If you're an owner,

466
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:30.319
<v Speaker 2>what are you buying right now?

467
00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? So, and I wanted to do We'll do a

468
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:34.480
<v Speaker 1>few momnutes on this because I want to touch on

469
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the time Brady. We'll do the games and the promise.

470
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:39.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll promise all this stuff. This is not just stick around.

471
00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:42.039
<v Speaker 1>We'll do all that stuff I did. Oh, I do

472
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.039
<v Speaker 1>it here has The problem is we haven't seen true evaluation.

473
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Someone hasn't done I will say, when Ben Fisher was

474
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.000
<v Speaker 1>on like two years ago when he like cracked his

475
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:53.920
<v Speaker 1>head up and he had a bandage on. I think

476
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.319
<v Speaker 1>he did. We kind of talked to the MLS evaluation

477
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 1>on that. So if you want to go back in

478
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:00.279
<v Speaker 1>deep dive Ben Fisher. But this was what made me

479
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:02.799
<v Speaker 1>laugh get all over luck in the Banana guys on

480
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:06.720
<v Speaker 1>it John. They're selling seventy thousand people to go watch

481
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>like in Raymond James Stadium where they played football for

482
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the XFL played there, right, they're back

483
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:17.799
<v Speaker 1>and then the twenty twenty, right, they couldn't get They

484
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:20.799
<v Speaker 1>had seventy thousand people there, and I'm sorry, like, uh,

485
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know the Savannah Bananas, but they're like

486
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:26.240
<v Speaker 1>a Harlem globe charge. I mean, the games don't really matter,

487
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>It's my point. No, No, they're playing and it's fine

488
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's good to do, but the games don't really

489
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.559
<v Speaker 1>matter even and like they're still getting seventy thousand.

490
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:36.799
<v Speaker 2>They they played here at our minor league stadium here

491
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:39.039
<v Speaker 2>in Louisville, and I mean the tickets were going. People

492
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:42.039
<v Speaker 2>were standing in line to get tickets. I mean, but

493
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean the day they opened the box office, not

494
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:47.640
<v Speaker 2>the day of the game. So yeah, I mean you're right,

495
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:50.519
<v Speaker 2>and Oliver Luck, I mean, I don't you talk to

496
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:54.279
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know would. I just wonder if he

497
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:56.640
<v Speaker 2>would ever want to get involved with spring football after,

498
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, such the bad experience that he had, and

499
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I thought that he was I thought he was a

500
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:04.160
<v Speaker 2>great commissioner for the short time he was. He was

501
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:05.599
<v Speaker 2>the commissioner of the XFL.

502
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if anyone wants to go back a great interview,

503
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>we did well at the end of last year after

504
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the UFL you know, season one wrapped and talking with

505
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Oliver Lack a courtesy of Sam Schwartztein. And then I

506
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:19.720
<v Speaker 1>would just say, I think Oliver's advice would be like,

507
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:22.480
<v Speaker 1>this is really hard, and I think it's harder than

508
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:25.480
<v Speaker 1>anyone that's involved right now probably get or maybe they

509
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 1>know now, but I think, you know, like this is

510
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:29.279
<v Speaker 1>so much harder than I think anyone getting into the

511
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.640
<v Speaker 1>space realizes. I wanted to get your thoughts. One of

512
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:34.839
<v Speaker 1>the things Mark had in the article was talking about

513
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:39.200
<v Speaker 1>this potential of a Tom Brady Tampa Bay thing. To me,

514
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:42.319
<v Speaker 1>I've lived and I still don't understand how he owns

515
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:45.400
<v Speaker 1>whatever percentage of the Raiders and how he's being able

516
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.640
<v Speaker 1>to do Fox and go to the combat. I don't

517
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>understand how all of that works. I don't I can

518
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.559
<v Speaker 1>in my life imagine that. He then also is like, well,

519
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:57.079
<v Speaker 1>I need to own the Tampa Bay UFL franchise. I

520
00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:59.519
<v Speaker 1>don't believe that at all, But what do you curious

521
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:00.000
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts?

522
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:04.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's say, let's just let's suppose this is

523
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 2>this is true. Why would this be true? Well, Fox

524
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:12.079
<v Speaker 2>is paying Tom Brady like, I mean, hundreds of millions

525
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:17.720
<v Speaker 2>of dollars to do you know, I think it's so

526
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 2>as that dual point out, we don't know what the

527
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.680
<v Speaker 2>valuations on these teams are. But he works for Fox.

528
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:28.000
<v Speaker 2>He's worked with the very upper levels of Fox, with

529
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Eric Shanks and and and and above. You know, probably

530
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.839
<v Speaker 2>had lunch with Rupert Murdock a couple of times. So

531
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:37.400
<v Speaker 2>if if there was something to this, I can see

532
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.200
<v Speaker 2>where Fox says, Hey, listen, were we need to franchise

533
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:43.839
<v Speaker 2>these teams? This is our plan? You know? Would you

534
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:46.880
<v Speaker 2>do this, you know, as a friend to Fox like

535
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:50.200
<v Speaker 2>and it would certainly give you immediate name recognition if

536
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Tom Brady is out there talking about the ufl uh

537
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:55.920
<v Speaker 2>in addition to everything else that he does. But if

538
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:59.400
<v Speaker 2>he was talking about the UFL. There's no question that's

539
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 2>a boost. And there's no question that your mom knows

540
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:05.920
<v Speaker 2>who Tom Brady is. And when that happens, then that's

541
00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 2>when you start to get some juice on. As someone

542
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:12.799
<v Speaker 2>pointed out that they've Philip pointed out, it's like you

543
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:15.839
<v Speaker 2>hear this is fake football. Well, when you get real

544
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.920
<v Speaker 2>people involved that you know, have name recognition there, you know,

545
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.839
<v Speaker 2>when you that, then the people like Tom Brady could

546
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:25.359
<v Speaker 2>make that work. I mean, I would love to see it.

547
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:26.359
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to see it.

548
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:29.359
<v Speaker 1>I have my hand on when you're ready to call

549
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:34.240
<v Speaker 1>him read we have that right now. With the Rock,

550
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.960
<v Speaker 1>you have the biggest person in the world. And it

551
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:38.119
<v Speaker 1>hasn't made a difference.

552
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but as someone someone held a sign up at

553
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the Saint Louis game when I was there and it

554
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:46.720
<v Speaker 2>said I think it said like fifteen home games and

555
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:49.240
<v Speaker 2>we still can't smell what the Rock is cooking and

556
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.799
<v Speaker 2>so what and that guy's been m I A although

557
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I did see that he did say something about the

558
00:26:55.599 --> 00:27:00.599
<v Speaker 2>UFL recently. But but yeah, it's like that's the guy

559
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:02.440
<v Speaker 2>you but he's got to be out in front and center,

560
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:06.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, so Yeah, it's fine when he's a trophy presentation,

561
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:08.240
<v Speaker 2>but season's over by that time.

562
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Or the kickoff the Rock both hit something over the weekend.

563
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:13.319
<v Speaker 1>I think of it as about Memorial Day, but it

564
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:16.920
<v Speaker 1>was something about like for someone that uses social media

565
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:18.759
<v Speaker 1>as much as The Rock, like it does kill me.

566
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:21.079
<v Speaker 1>Like he'll post these videos like him and it'll just

567
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:24.559
<v Speaker 1>be like fifteen minutes long, and you're like, who is watching,

568
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, like I'll watch you got me for

569
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.440
<v Speaker 1>about sixty seconds, right, I'll watch and I'll watch them whatever.

570
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:32.640
<v Speaker 1>But I'm like, he just sits here and talk. Anyway,

571
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:34.480
<v Speaker 1>he was talking to one percent. I think it was

572
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:36.359
<v Speaker 1>like the Memorial Day and you know the people, but

573
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:39.279
<v Speaker 1>I know Dwayne is fifty four percent. Okay, that's it.

574
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:41.519
<v Speaker 1>That's the number that we that we need to pay

575
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.319
<v Speaker 1>attention to. It's not it's that one percent is way

576
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:46.440
<v Speaker 1>more important that that's fifty four percent. That's what you

577
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:47.880
<v Speaker 1>need to be talking about.

578
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Someone brought up a good point there. The Rock in

579
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:52.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five is not the same as The Rock

580
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.440
<v Speaker 2>in twenty fifteen, but he's still got plenty of star powers,

581
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:56.799
<v Speaker 2>not not you know, like he had.

582
00:27:57.599 --> 00:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just last comment on that. I don't know.

583
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I just to me unless it's a favor by Fox

584
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:04.720
<v Speaker 1>and they're, like you said, they're saying Tommy, like we

585
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:07.000
<v Speaker 1>need to do this. I just it's been such a

586
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't I mean, I think it's finally improved now,

587
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.079
<v Speaker 1>but that thing's taken like three I just I don't

588
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:14.319
<v Speaker 1>see any why would I even waste a second of

589
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Like if I'm Tom Brady, why would I waste a

590
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:18.880
<v Speaker 1>second of my life on the UFL.

591
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, and he might not. I mean he might. He

592
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.359
<v Speaker 2>could say he can be an owner. I mean we're

593
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.200
<v Speaker 2>getting really deep in speculation, but he can be an

594
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:29.319
<v Speaker 2>owner and just say okay. It's it's like a lot

595
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:31.880
<v Speaker 2>of NFL owners some of them should be more like

596
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:34.039
<v Speaker 2>this where they just say, yes, I own the team,

597
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm hiring football people to take care of this. I'm

598
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 2>the bank roll. So you guys go do your job

599
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:41.799
<v Speaker 2>and do it well and then we'll evaluate after the season.

600
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I just it's it's been interesting to me just

601
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:48.039
<v Speaker 1>kind of the video work I've done the last maybe

602
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:50.079
<v Speaker 1>year now, just dealing with a lot of these like

603
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:52.519
<v Speaker 1>CEOs that they're like managing a lot of it, you know,

604
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and this is like the Rock, right, I mean the

605
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Rock or whoever, Tom Brady or Danny Garcia. Yeah, they're

606
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the CEO of their life, right, And I gotta tell this,

607
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:02.960
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I get in this position. I got

608
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:05.119
<v Speaker 1>to be ready to go the second they sit down.

609
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.279
<v Speaker 1>It's like when the Rocks do and you see these

610
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 1>clips and the Rocks doing, you know, they're set up.

611
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:13.799
<v Speaker 1>It's he's not like sitting there deciding like I'm not

612
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:15.920
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about the UFL. Like he has his

613
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>books and they build his time and I'm just you know,

614
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.359
<v Speaker 1>it's not like he's sitting around like it's you know,

615
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:23.200
<v Speaker 1>they had something set up for him to come talk

616
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 1>about it or whatever, and he shows and then they

617
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.079
<v Speaker 1>leave and they move on. They don't they're not sitting

618
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:28.319
<v Speaker 1>there any of this stuff.

619
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.960
<v Speaker 2>So right, Yeah, it's yeah, it's it's all very you know,

620
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.640
<v Speaker 2>book as you said, booked and rehearse. There's no question.

621
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Anything else on that, anything else, trademark, anything else with that.

622
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:41.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll get to the games. We did attendance. Oh, Mike

623
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.680
<v Speaker 1>has the five hundred and forty thousand for the Friday night?

624
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Does that do anything for you?

625
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was a Friday night you know, before

626
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.279
<v Speaker 2>Memorial Day. Still again, when you're getting into the five

627
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:57.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand dollars five hundred the five hundred thousand viewer

628
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:02.200
<v Speaker 2>range on a network show, I don't, you know. I mean,

629
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:04.319
<v Speaker 2>I see some questions. They are nice and not bad,

630
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:06.920
<v Speaker 2>but I don't. I don't that to me on a

631
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:09.759
<v Speaker 2>network if it was on you know, ESPN on a

632
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Friday night before Memorial Day or FS one, I'd say,

633
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, I mean that makes sense. But when

634
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 2>that's on Fox, and this is and to me, we

635
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:23.839
<v Speaker 2>and we talked about it last week. Next year, assuming

636
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.680
<v Speaker 2>that UFL on Fox Friday night is a thing they've

637
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.160
<v Speaker 2>got to They gotta do flexing. They got they gotta flex,

638
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know, give the fans two weeks, say two

639
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:33.920
<v Speaker 2>weeks out, we can tell you that we're gonna flex

640
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:36.160
<v Speaker 2>this game. It's gonna be. It's not it's not gonna

641
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:39.119
<v Speaker 2>be Saturday afternoon. It's gonna be Friday night. Because you can't.

642
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:41.400
<v Speaker 2>You can't keep doing this. This isn't sustainable. You can

643
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.880
<v Speaker 2>show reruns of I don't know whatever's on Fox Family Guy.

644
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:47.839
<v Speaker 2>That's only show I know on Fox. You can you

645
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:49.599
<v Speaker 2>could show that and get five hundred and forty thousand

646
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:50.559
<v Speaker 2>people on Friday night.

647
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:53.279
<v Speaker 1>Well that was his rug we made it was it

648
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:55.319
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday when they had the rain delay for the

649
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 1>Memphis And that's obviously why they attendance was so pointed

650
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 1>because the rain delay and all that, and well it

651
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:03.359
<v Speaker 1>was that normally six. I mean, I know we should

652
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:05.640
<v Speaker 1>have probably prefaced that, but like, okay, the rain delay

653
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 1>and that was all because of that. But uh, I'm

654
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:09.880
<v Speaker 1>like they probably because they said, like, we're not going

655
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:12.000
<v Speaker 1>to let fans in until we decide what time the

656
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:13.799
<v Speaker 1>game is. I'm like, I'm sure they don't want to

657
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:16.319
<v Speaker 1>deal with getting those people out of there, Like God,

658
00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>we gotta let it in the five hundred people and

659
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:20.799
<v Speaker 1>track and like let's just wait, Let's just wait till

660
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:22.640
<v Speaker 1>we kind of figure I will say that. And I

661
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:24.720
<v Speaker 1>know I brought this up before, but you know, when

662
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you're talking five forty on Fox on a Friday, the

663
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Spring League got four eighteen and the mid Saturday afternoon

664
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:33.359
<v Speaker 1>and that was Louise Press and the Chowsters and the

665
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:34.240
<v Speaker 1>gime in and.

666
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:36.400
<v Speaker 2>How Mummy lifting the trophy.

667
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no Rock or Danny or I just you know,

668
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:43.960
<v Speaker 1>there was just a simpler time you tell me, you

669
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:45.960
<v Speaker 1>go back and you do the spring League, and you

670
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:47.880
<v Speaker 1>roll it out and you do the two you do

671
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:50.880
<v Speaker 1>the two hubs. They were already getting ratings, and then

672
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:54.039
<v Speaker 1>then then you rewore the hub. Then you go, you know,

673
00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:56.599
<v Speaker 1>cause they were in Indianapolis and Houston. That was great.

674
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:59.319
<v Speaker 1>And then you go like, hey, yeah, Memphis if you

675
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:02.200
<v Speaker 1>want that or burning whatever. But then people have to

676
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:05.119
<v Speaker 1>earn it. Then you award the franchise versus like, well,

677
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:08.640
<v Speaker 1>we own the Oakland Invaders trademark, so we should look

678
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:11.400
<v Speaker 1>at that, like it's just not how you build any

679
00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff. It's just not sustainable.

680
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean you got to hope that there's you know,

681
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.079
<v Speaker 2>some more research into the different cities that to make

682
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:20.000
<v Speaker 2>this work.

683
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Lasting on that and then I hate with that where

684
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:26.200
<v Speaker 1>they're like, oh, we'll see, like that worked in Saint

685
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Louis with the scorn, you know, so now we gotta

686
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:32.240
<v Speaker 1>go to Oakland. I'm like, I don't know. I just

687
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Saint Louis works for more than just people hate Stan Kronk.

688
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:37.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's a large portion of it, but I

689
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.279
<v Speaker 1>hate this whole, Like, well, we just need to find

690
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:41.559
<v Speaker 1>a place that's been scoring and do it like you

691
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:44.079
<v Speaker 1>haven't found anything else. It's replicated the whole time you've

692
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:45.599
<v Speaker 1>been running any of this stuff. So I don't know

693
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:46.599
<v Speaker 1>why they think now.

694
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:48.799
<v Speaker 2>And there have been a few places that have been

695
00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:51.640
<v Speaker 2>scorn and Oakland is one of them. But and San

696
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Diego is another. But you have to make sure that

697
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:58.920
<v Speaker 2>it's financially viable to go in there, and that you

698
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:03.200
<v Speaker 2>have you have. It's a football crazy place. Saint Louis

699
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.279
<v Speaker 2>is a football crazy places. It has been for a

700
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.519
<v Speaker 2>long time. So that's one of the reasons that it works.

701
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:10.119
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the big reasons it works.

702
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I like the uh what you just call it a

703
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:13.880
<v Speaker 1>crazy football place.

704
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:18.640
<v Speaker 2>It's that uh Saint Louis. Yeah that yeah, they are football. Yeah,

705
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:19.920
<v Speaker 2>they're football crazy there.

706
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Well I just like, yeah Wednesday, that essen now, like

707
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:29.200
<v Speaker 1>we're just so wowed and crazy crazy football guys. All right,

708
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:32.359
<v Speaker 1>we're talking football. I'm pulling up the schedules. But here

709
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:35.319
<v Speaker 1>we go. All right, Saint Louis. Phillip's reminding us at

710
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:37.440
<v Speaker 1>the battleha, you know that they won all that stuff.

711
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:39.079
<v Speaker 1>I need to get the games up here. What did

712
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:40.839
<v Speaker 1>you make of the weekend slot? While I get the

713
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:41.319
<v Speaker 1>games up?

714
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, it was fun to watch because there

715
00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:48.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't a lot. You know, there's not a lot on

716
00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:50.559
<v Speaker 2>the line, although you know Birmingham had they had a

717
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:52.319
<v Speaker 2>great game. But I mean, I'll be honest with you,

718
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Saturday I was I was uh more invested into smoking

719
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:58.480
<v Speaker 2>ribs and grill and chicken, so I it was I

720
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:00.319
<v Speaker 2>had to catch up on a lot of the I

721
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.640
<v Speaker 2>only watched one game in full, and that was Sunday

722
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.519
<v Speaker 2>because I watched the highlight cut down on the I

723
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:07.720
<v Speaker 2>mean I had the Birmingham game onto the background and

724
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.719
<v Speaker 2>watching it back and forth. But but I did I

725
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:13.119
<v Speaker 2>watched all the highlight cut down later because I mean,

726
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:16.639
<v Speaker 2>these games, they they were interesting, but it was but

727
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:18.599
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing on the line. And I think Week ten

728
00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:22.559
<v Speaker 2>will be interesting because they're all these quarterback I mean,

729
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:24.360
<v Speaker 2>we're I think you and I could go to one

730
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:26.480
<v Speaker 2>of these towns and probably play quarterback and the coach

731
00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:28.960
<v Speaker 2>would say, Okay, that's fine because I can't get anybody hurt.

732
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:32.000
<v Speaker 2>That's going to the playoffs. I will watch. I think

733
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:34.760
<v Speaker 2>it's Arlington and San Antonio play I will watch that

734
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:36.639
<v Speaker 2>game because I don't know how much longer we're going

735
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:39.559
<v Speaker 2>to see Luis Perez playing spring football, so you know

736
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:42.000
<v Speaker 2>this this might be the Swan song, so I will

737
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:43.119
<v Speaker 2>I will watch that game.

738
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I know it was was. I think Anthony was really

739
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:50.679
<v Speaker 1>hoping that that. Why is this all I need to

740
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:51.119
<v Speaker 1>get this?

741
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Listen? The UFL site was being really weird earlier today

742
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:55.880
<v Speaker 2>and looking at schedules.

743
00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, let me get all they get because right

744
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:02.639
<v Speaker 1>they we we were at the Dome right really blew

745
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:07.599
<v Speaker 1>out the ramas here. San Antonio went on that I

746
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.599
<v Speaker 1>think Mike in our we were doing the power rankings

747
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:12.960
<v Speaker 1>for Greg's stuff, I think he said, there's really not

748
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:16.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot to talk about with Memphis or san Antonio anymore.

749
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:18.199
<v Speaker 1>I kind of agree with that. I kind of felt

750
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:20.320
<v Speaker 1>that way last week, like, well, I just don't know

751
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.840
<v Speaker 1>how you even kind of look here at this san

752
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:23.599
<v Speaker 1>Antonio with anything?

753
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:24.000
<v Speaker 2>What did you?

754
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Uh? I mean anything really dug in. I know Pat

755
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Raffino is really high on him.

756
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Still maybe yeah maybe yeah. Today, well we got to

757
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:34.760
<v Speaker 2>see Brandon Silver, so that was you know, and through

758
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.280
<v Speaker 2>for one hundred yards. It was interesting that, you know,

759
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.559
<v Speaker 2>they put Kellen mand back out there. I still didn't

760
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:42.880
<v Speaker 2>understand the whole you know, Kevin Hogan thing. So it

761
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.639
<v Speaker 2>was nice to see Kell and mand back there. I again,

762
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:50.320
<v Speaker 2>we talked about this earlier. I think because the season

763
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:53.480
<v Speaker 2>is so compressed, we saw Kell and Mond getting better

764
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:56.440
<v Speaker 2>each week, but it was also maybe not rapid enough

765
00:35:56.519 --> 00:36:00.079
<v Speaker 2>for you know, for for Wade and then for you know,

766
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:03.239
<v Speaker 2>for parties. So uh, but it was good to see

767
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:06.320
<v Speaker 2>him back. I always thought he gave them a better

768
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:08.480
<v Speaker 2>chance to win, but it's if it had been a

769
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:10.920
<v Speaker 2>sixteen game season, it probably would have been killing Monte.

770
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.519
<v Speaker 1>What'd you what do you think of Brandon? Silver's here?

771
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Kind of interesting any right, He got picked up a

772
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:20.199
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago, right because of injury and all that,

773
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and then I mean, good for him because he I

774
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:24.800
<v Speaker 1>think it, you know, I think he was kind of

775
00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, uh, jaded or I think he was

776
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:30.199
<v Speaker 1>kind of done. I mean, I don't want to put

777
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.320
<v Speaker 1>words in his mouth, but you know he's back here now.

778
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, good for him and obviously getting those checks

779
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:36.639
<v Speaker 1>in there, you know, I mean that's what that's who

780
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:38.119
<v Speaker 1>you want to care at this point? Right his player

781
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:39.880
<v Speaker 1>is extending and being able to make money and do

782
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:42.880
<v Speaker 1>what they want as long as it possible. But it's

783
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:45.239
<v Speaker 1>just kind of a good good, feel good story here

784
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:46.119
<v Speaker 1>for Friday Night.

785
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:48.559
<v Speaker 2>I loved it. And he made some great passes too,

786
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:51.199
<v Speaker 2>so it's like it's not like he was just you know,

787
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:54.039
<v Speaker 2>in there taking up a spot. So Max Duggan didn't

788
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:55.679
<v Speaker 2>get hurt. I mean, he was making he made some

789
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:58.440
<v Speaker 2>really good passes. It was it was uh that that

790
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:00.280
<v Speaker 2>was fun to watch some of the highlights of him

791
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:01.320
<v Speaker 2>when he got in the game.

792
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:04.480
<v Speaker 1>We have a comment here profile, I don't know that

793
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you guys are a great team. Don't change it. Well,

794
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:10.280
<v Speaker 1>there you go, appreciate it. I always I'm screenshot like

795
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:16.039
<v Speaker 1>anytime anyone like John, anytime anyone my Facebook messenger has

796
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:18.960
<v Speaker 1>notifacations or like I post something on Twitter like that,

797
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Like I just am used to just looking and having

798
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:22.320
<v Speaker 1>someone yelling at me.

799
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.199
<v Speaker 2>So it's nice. It's just like, do you understand why

800
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:26.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not on Twitter?

801
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:29.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I avoid it. I just but John

802
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:32.360
<v Speaker 1>had a question here so Party. He says he's watching

803
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:35.039
<v Speaker 1>the game. The party made the game more interesting. I'll

804
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:38.840
<v Speaker 1>be curious. I don't know what I mean. I think

805
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:41.320
<v Speaker 1>if you if Peyton Party wants the job, I think

806
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:43.360
<v Speaker 1>it's his job in the US. I mean that's that

807
00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:45.599
<v Speaker 1>is that rude? That's say for the no.

808
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:48.239
<v Speaker 2>No, I think that's I think that's true. Uh. He's

809
00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:51.119
<v Speaker 2>also I think he's part of there was some kind

810
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:53.679
<v Speaker 2>of coaches clinic in the NFL. I think Tampa Bay

811
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:57.559
<v Speaker 2>was doing something with that. So he's a future head

812
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:01.920
<v Speaker 2>coach somewhere. I mean, I think on a larger level,

813
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:04.320
<v Speaker 2>whether it's a you know, whether it's college or some

814
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:07.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, sometime way down the road in uh, in

815
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.079
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. But yeah, I think, uh, I think he's

816
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:13.320
<v Speaker 2>a really good coach that just yeah, if he wants

817
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to be the San Antonio coach or coach of whoever

818
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:18.800
<v Speaker 2>next year, I think that that that opportunity would certainly

819
00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:20.880
<v Speaker 2>be afforded to it.

820
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:24.079
<v Speaker 1>It was kind of like when I got my, uh

821
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:28.280
<v Speaker 1>for my only job interview call after college, and I

822
00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:30.480
<v Speaker 1>was so excited. It was my last day ever, and

823
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:33.559
<v Speaker 1>I had a voicemail from the news director or Bakersfield, California,

824
00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.079
<v Speaker 1>and he goes, hey, you know whatever, like we'd like

825
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:38.360
<v Speaker 1>to fly you down for the interview because there happened

826
00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:40.920
<v Speaker 1>that he goes, can you drive from Spokane to Seattle?

827
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:43.840
<v Speaker 1>But there happened to be a direct flight from Bakersfield

828
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:47.400
<v Speaker 1>is there's Spokanda Baker's Field, forgotten this life. And so

829
00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I went to my teacher and I told him, I said,

830
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm really nervous, you know, I have this job interview.

831
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:55.440
<v Speaker 1>And he goes, if they're flying you down from Spokane

832
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:59.559
<v Speaker 1>to Bakersfield market one point thirty two for a news

833
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:03.559
<v Speaker 1>folk journalist, Like you're not even on camera. Like He's like,

834
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:06.199
<v Speaker 1>you probably have the job. You can say, as long

835
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:07.760
<v Speaker 1>as you don't have something in your.

836
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Forehead, you probably could have just driven the U haul

837
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:13.360
<v Speaker 2>down with all your stuff. I like that.

838
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, do we feel good about the party thing? Like Hines?

839
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Obviously we want him to be good, but like, hey,

840
00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:23.480
<v Speaker 1>we kind of I don't know.

841
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Yah, yeah, I mean I think it was. I liked it.

842
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:29.039
<v Speaker 2>I think I thought it was a good story. And

843
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:31.199
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a good coach. I mean, you know,

844
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:33.280
<v Speaker 2>there there was there were some times if you watched

845
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:35.119
<v Speaker 2>the Brahmas a few times, there were some things that

846
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:38.000
<v Speaker 2>he needed to learn. Uh, but there's no question that

847
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:40.440
<v Speaker 2>he might be better than a few other head coaches

848
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:42.719
<v Speaker 2>that are in this league right now. So, uh, not

849
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:45.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot, but some And I think that, uh yeah,

850
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:47.679
<v Speaker 2>I think that there. I think he has a really

851
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:50.239
<v Speaker 2>good chance. It was a great story and as uh

852
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:52.320
<v Speaker 2>you know they pointed out there, it did make it

853
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:54.159
<v Speaker 2>more interesting to see, like some of the things he

854
00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:56.880
<v Speaker 2>can do. You just saw how excited when they did

855
00:39:56.960 --> 00:40:00.840
<v Speaker 2>win that game. When they won, I guess it was

856
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:03.159
<v Speaker 2>his first game. Was it against d C. Maybe I can't.

857
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to remember which one it was, but you

858
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:10.000
<v Speaker 2>know how excited those players were for him. So there's

859
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:12.400
<v Speaker 2>a he had a connection there. Obviously he was an

860
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:15.159
<v Speaker 2>assistant coach, but uh, you know, for everything that he

861
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:18.679
<v Speaker 2>went through and to get that battlefield promotion, yeah, I

862
00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:20.360
<v Speaker 2>thought I thought it was pretty cool and I would

863
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.199
<v Speaker 2>like to see him stick around, but you know, he

864
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.400
<v Speaker 2>may be destined for some other things.

865
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they said here, John, I think at this point

866
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:29.880
<v Speaker 1>they should keep party. You get a few more alike him.

867
00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Provide opportunity. I mean it was supposed to be, right,

868
00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:37.679
<v Speaker 1>so League of Opportunity here, this is like literally what

869
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:41.679
<v Speaker 1>the UFL is designed for. Right, here's a special teams coach.

870
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:44.480
<v Speaker 1>He got a promotion, and you know, you do what

871
00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:46.559
<v Speaker 1>you do at that point. I mean, you can't rebuild

872
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:48.360
<v Speaker 1>the team or go back in time. But I think that.

873
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, at least the team's playing under him. I

874
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:50.840
<v Speaker 1>big value.

875
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:53.159
<v Speaker 2>You gotta feel good front, Yeah, I mean people. And

876
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:55.119
<v Speaker 2>that was the thing. Like even on that Friday night

877
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:59.719
<v Speaker 2>game a couple of weeks ago, was the Memphis overtime game.

878
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:04.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, yeah, they were playing for him. They had

879
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:06.639
<v Speaker 2>nothing to play for. But both those both those teams

880
00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:08.920
<v Speaker 2>really they were just you know, they they were just

881
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:11.320
<v Speaker 2>still balling. And you know, it wasn't about like trying

882
00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:13.559
<v Speaker 2>to get individual tape. They were out there playing as

883
00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:15.880
<v Speaker 2>a team. That says a lot. That speaks a lot

884
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:16.159
<v Speaker 2>to a.

885
00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Head coach, Uh speaking here of a couple of teams

886
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:21.320
<v Speaker 1>but not a ton to play for. Here we have

887
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:24.400
<v Speaker 1>a right your boy here and when we all go

888
00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:26.519
<v Speaker 1>deep dive. This was the rain delayed game and kind

889
00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:29.880
<v Speaker 1>of all that stuff. But uh, what'd you think of that?

890
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:31.119
<v Speaker 1>Why wasn't that?

891
00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Did I make?

892
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:33.599
<v Speaker 1>Am I making that up in my head? No? Because no,

893
00:41:33.719 --> 00:41:35.239
<v Speaker 1>then the one was delayed the next year there was

894
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:36.320
<v Speaker 1>two delays, right.

895
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Well this one was delayed for like three hours. Yeah,

896
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:45.000
<v Speaker 2>because well, well we get the the Sunday game was delayed. Well,

897
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:47.679
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't delayed. They kicked off at four o'clock Eastern time,

898
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:50.039
<v Speaker 2>but the Indianapolis five months, so yeah, I had to

899
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:52.000
<v Speaker 2>get on. I was on the Fox Sports app, uh

900
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:54.559
<v Speaker 2>watching that, so which was nice that you you know,

901
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:56.840
<v Speaker 2>you can you could watch it even though it was

902
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:58.960
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be somewhere else and I couldn't find it.

903
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:01.880
<v Speaker 1>It was a whole thing. But I watched PN three.

904
00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it was really weird.

905
00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I didn't even know that was still a thing anymore.

906
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I was like on ESPN. I was trying to get

907
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:10.320
<v Speaker 2>on ESPN app and I just did. I just went

908
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:12.039
<v Speaker 2>to the Fox Sports app and there was.

909
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's see here. So in terms of Perez, you said

910
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:18.800
<v Speaker 1>going back, you know, ying maybe his swan song here.

911
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Just any general thoughts is, yeah, anything on this game

912
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:23.199
<v Speaker 1>just while we kind of get through here, I know

913
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:25.199
<v Speaker 1>we'll have more thoughts on stallions and all that stuff.

914
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, I thought I liked you know, Luis Perez

915
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:30.480
<v Speaker 2>is still playing, and I watched some of the of

916
00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:34.400
<v Speaker 2>his post game. You know, he's obviously disappointed, but he

917
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:38.440
<v Speaker 2>it's the good thing is and another reason that I'm

918
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:40.599
<v Speaker 2>watching this game, I think it was. Of course, if

919
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:42.639
<v Speaker 2>you watch my video then you you'll you'll know what

920
00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:44.679
<v Speaker 2>the exact number is. I'm trying to I think he

921
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:47.039
<v Speaker 2>needs like two hundred and ninety three yards to break

922
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:49.960
<v Speaker 2>his record from last year. And he was about he's

923
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:53.920
<v Speaker 2>on averaging about two twenty two thirty passing yards per game,

924
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:56.559
<v Speaker 2>so that would be interesting to watch too. But yeah,

925
00:42:56.599 --> 00:43:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I just you know this one they I mean, you know,

926
00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:04.360
<v Speaker 2>to me, I'd like to see a lot more addresser win.

927
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I understand they want to put e J. Perry out there.

928
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:08.239
<v Speaker 2>A lot of these guys are trying to get them

929
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:11.400
<v Speaker 2>film and it makes total sense. And you know, a

930
00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:13.920
<v Speaker 2>we even had a Holt Naylor's I thought, I asked

931
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:15.679
<v Speaker 2>Pat if he's going to put Holt Naylor's in his

932
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:17.480
<v Speaker 2>like you know, top five now because he threw a

933
00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:18.679
<v Speaker 2>touchdown pass.

934
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, and then he was like on, I saw some

935
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:24.239
<v Speaker 1>video of him like talking to the crowd too. I

936
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:25.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what was going on with that. Yeah, he

937
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:28.079
<v Speaker 1>had quite the weekend. I think he's pretty excited.

938
00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:30.599
<v Speaker 2>He should have been excited. That was probably the most.

939
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:33.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's you know, he's usually mister handoff king

940
00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:36.519
<v Speaker 2>there and when they run that package that like weird

941
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:39.280
<v Speaker 2>T formation or whatever it is they run. But yeah,

942
00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:41.119
<v Speaker 2>so he threw a touchdown pass.

943
00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Is this the last we see of the show Boats?

944
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you think they're back next year?

945
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:52.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. It's it's I don't know, unless

946
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.599
<v Speaker 2>something drastically changes, or the UFL like really has you know,

947
00:43:55.719 --> 00:43:59.480
<v Speaker 2>some they really do get the owners or something. It's

948
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:02.760
<v Speaker 2>hard for him to see the Memphis show Boats coming back,

949
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:05.360
<v Speaker 2>and I hate it because it is a good venue

950
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:08.480
<v Speaker 2>down there. They've done everything right. They've gotten out in

951
00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:12.199
<v Speaker 2>the community. I think they said it was like twenty

952
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:16.239
<v Speaker 2>thousand hours of like before the season even started, that

953
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:18.679
<v Speaker 2>they were out, you know, talking to all these you

954
00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:22.639
<v Speaker 2>know different you know, like really getting out and connecting

955
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:26.119
<v Speaker 2>with the fans. But there's a disconnect somewhere. And again

956
00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it might go back to what we were

957
00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:30.639
<v Speaker 2>talking about earlier. There was a hardcore group of fans.

958
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:32.840
<v Speaker 2>But the problem is there are a lot of fans

959
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:37.320
<v Speaker 2>that remember every flirtation with every league from the World

960
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Football League on in the mid seventies to now, and

961
00:44:41.239 --> 00:44:45.000
<v Speaker 2>they've gotten burnt every time. So maybe there's something there.

962
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:47.360
<v Speaker 2>So it's really hard for me to see if things

963
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:50.400
<v Speaker 2>continue the way that they continue, that there has to

964
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:52.119
<v Speaker 2>be some kind of change there and I hate to

965
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:54.679
<v Speaker 2>see it because I really liked what I thought was

966
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:55.679
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen this year.

967
00:44:57.599 --> 00:45:00.280
<v Speaker 1>In terms of Abdul's got a couple of funny it's,

968
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's always funny on the check. Of course, he'll

969
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:06.320
<v Speaker 1>be like, well, Memphis telling needs like twenty seven thousand

970
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:09.440
<v Speaker 1>more fans next game, and they'll they'll still break the

971
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:11.880
<v Speaker 1>record from last time and all that stuff. But Pat

972
00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:14.760
<v Speaker 1>called me the other day paraffine you know, analyze and

973
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:17.559
<v Speaker 1>educate on YouTube, went to the Weekend Day a story

974
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:20.320
<v Speaker 1>if he was out, and we were talking because he Pat.

975
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.840
<v Speaker 1>The story was Pat was at a gym and someone

976
00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:25.400
<v Speaker 1>had a battle Hawks shirt on it. I think they

977
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:27.199
<v Speaker 1>had gotten it. Maybe he's told you the story too,

978
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:28.679
<v Speaker 1>they got it free and they didn't know what the

979
00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:33.119
<v Speaker 1>battle Hawks were. And then oh, okay, well tell you. I mean,

980
00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:36.199
<v Speaker 1>I assume Pat is okay. With Pat texting me right now,

981
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.199
<v Speaker 1>it's not really that big of a story. But the

982
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:41.039
<v Speaker 1>guy had a battle hook shugged on, and Pat's like

983
00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:43.239
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome, Like what do you know the team? He's like, well,

984
00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I think like I got this at work, Like I

985
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:47.320
<v Speaker 1>think they were here back in twenty twenty and whatever,

986
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:49.599
<v Speaker 1>and Pat's like, oh no, like they're back now, and

987
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:51.880
<v Speaker 1>he's like awesome. And Pat's like, well, are you going

988
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to go to the games? He's like probably not, but

989
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:56.599
<v Speaker 1>that's cool, like and moved on, right, and you know

990
00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:59.599
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing because we get through all this and like,

991
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't and that's this is a spur of my conversation.

992
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Like some of these markets, I don't know how you

993
00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:07.360
<v Speaker 1>sell them or I don't know, like San Antonio this

994
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:09.400
<v Speaker 1>year with the four home games, I don't know how

995
00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:11.480
<v Speaker 1>you sell four home games. I don't know how you

996
00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:15.519
<v Speaker 1>sell and I don't know. You know, I'm just brain certain.

997
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:17.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, we saw the hub stuff and everything. You know,

998
00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:20.559
<v Speaker 1>do you do a longer season and then can you

999
00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:23.559
<v Speaker 1>double up some of these games? I mean even the CFL, right,

1000
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:26.599
<v Speaker 1>you do nine teams, but they play forever? I know

1001
00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:29.079
<v Speaker 1>that is long term more of a thing. I just

1002
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:32.280
<v Speaker 1>down the line, because then you at least you can

1003
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:34.719
<v Speaker 1>sell more than four games or like oh here, buy

1004
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:36.760
<v Speaker 1>ten games for your team or what I mean. It's

1005
00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:37.719
<v Speaker 1>just an impossibility.

1006
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I wouldn't hurt. I don't think to

1007
00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:43.840
<v Speaker 2>have a twelve week season, maybe, especially if you ended

1008
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:45.519
<v Speaker 2>up with ten teams, and you know, if they do

1009
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:48.599
<v Speaker 2>actually end up expanding by two teams, that's not a

1010
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:51.920
<v Speaker 2>bad idea. You know, the problem is I still haven't

1011
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:54.159
<v Speaker 2>figured out what's going on to Birmingham, and I've been

1012
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:56.440
<v Speaker 2>taken to task on this a few times because people

1013
00:46:56.599 --> 00:46:58.880
<v Speaker 2>say like, well, you didn't count you know, there were

1014
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:01.119
<v Speaker 2>only four thousand people there for Mother's Day and I

1015
00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:03.519
<v Speaker 2>was like, yeah, the UFL did not do them any favors.

1016
00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:06.559
<v Speaker 2>But even if you take that out, this year their

1017
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:08.800
<v Speaker 2>home games averaged less than ten thousand. I think it

1018
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:13.119
<v Speaker 2>was ninety eight hundred minus the alleged four thousand that

1019
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:15.719
<v Speaker 2>were there, looked like more about four hundred if that

1020
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:18.199
<v Speaker 2>at that Mother's Day game that the UFL totally holds

1021
00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:21.960
<v Speaker 2>them on. So that was another you know, and being

1022
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.639
<v Speaker 2>down there, we've talked about it before. There are people

1023
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:27.559
<v Speaker 2>in Birmingham, which you would think would be you know,

1024
00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:30.920
<v Speaker 2>that's Football city certain and has been the the at

1025
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Football Capital, that don't know that the stallions are there.

1026
00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:38.239
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, there's it's it's there's there's a disconnect with

1027
00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:40.239
<v Speaker 2>marketing or something that's going on in a lot of

1028
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:44.280
<v Speaker 2>these cities. And as you mentioned with Saint Louis. Yeah,

1029
00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:47.599
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of or it's organic. A lot of

1030
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:50.639
<v Speaker 2>it's organic because they like football and they hate Stan

1031
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Kroncky and that all works, and they've got a great

1032
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:53.760
<v Speaker 2>venue to play in.

1033
00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's also have been seven years. I mean it's

1034
00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, whenever they now you know, twenty eighteen events,

1035
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and then whenever they announce the teams. I don't know

1036
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:03.400
<v Speaker 1>if that was later in eighteen or nineteen, but like

1037
00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:06.599
<v Speaker 1>it's just been forever there, real quick on this because

1038
00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:08.800
<v Speaker 1>well I gotta we'll get off tied at the top

1039
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:11.239
<v Speaker 1>of the hour because I got to booge. We did

1040
00:48:11.280 --> 00:48:13.760
<v Speaker 1>have a couple of Darren Michigan seems to have the

1041
00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:17.000
<v Speaker 1>secret sauce to approven attendance anyone from Houston, because chop

1042
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:20.760
<v Speaker 1>here goes Houston. Birmingham and Memphis are inbaran se. Well,

1043
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:24.239
<v Speaker 1>what's the difference. It's because Michigan is quite good this year.

1044
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know that is Birmingham, but they've I

1045
00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:29.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like they're at least been down and now I

1046
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:31.800
<v Speaker 1>mean obviously I say that with the Stallions being six

1047
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:33.239
<v Speaker 1>and three as well, but at least it feels like

1048
00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:35.440
<v Speaker 1>they have given more of a reason to kind of

1049
00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:36.440
<v Speaker 1>get behind that team.

1050
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:41.679
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a lot of it. But also it's yeah,

1051
00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:44.480
<v Speaker 2>you're right, it's like, Birmingham won three straight championships. What

1052
00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:46.840
<v Speaker 2>more can Skip Holton that team do to get people

1053
00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:49.320
<v Speaker 2>to turn out for these games? And it's like what

1054
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:53.719
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, you're right, you're getting burnt. You're gonna get

1055
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:57.039
<v Speaker 2>burnt every time if you're you know, for for the

1056
00:48:57.039 --> 00:48:58.320
<v Speaker 2>show boats. And I think there are a lot of

1057
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:00.840
<v Speaker 2>people who say, like, well, if we really these teams,

1058
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:03.679
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna hurt the league. To me, if you don't

1059
00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:05.920
<v Speaker 2>relocate at least a couple of these, it's gonna hurt

1060
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:07.719
<v Speaker 2>the league. And I don't know that there's a win

1061
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:12.280
<v Speaker 2>win situation either way, but yeah, but having a good team,

1062
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:15.519
<v Speaker 2>no doubt helps. But it just seems like even early

1063
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:18.480
<v Speaker 2>on with Memphis, they weren't getting to turnout even when

1064
00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:20.559
<v Speaker 2>they you know, they had hired Ken wizen Hunt and

1065
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:22.599
<v Speaker 2>it looked like this was gonna Of course, that first

1066
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:24.360
<v Speaker 2>week he didn't coach and he came back and that

1067
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:27.280
<v Speaker 2>was that whole situation. But even when it you know,

1068
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:29.880
<v Speaker 2>the slate was clean, it just didn't seem like that

1069
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:32.599
<v Speaker 2>that that was connecting to the community no matter how

1070
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:35.119
<v Speaker 2>hard they kept trying. And you know we've talked about

1071
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.280
<v Speaker 2>it before. Andy Seeley and that group down there has

1072
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:40.400
<v Speaker 2>done such a good job with you know, the community,

1073
00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:42.960
<v Speaker 2>with media. It's a great setup. It's a good venue.

1074
00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:45.679
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of people might disagree. I thought

1075
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:48.280
<v Speaker 2>it was a good setup for spring football, but I

1076
00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:50.400
<v Speaker 2>just don't know what it is. And I don't know

1077
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:53.519
<v Speaker 2>what the secret sauce is that Michigan has unless it's

1078
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:56.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, having having a good team.

1079
00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:58.599
<v Speaker 1>I will say, and Chop has this that good last

1080
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:00.239
<v Speaker 1>year Jake Bates sped them on it. Ut I know

1081
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:02.280
<v Speaker 1>they had that. They know they have the Jake bitsbell

1082
00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:04.119
<v Speaker 1>but which I think is awesome because as far as

1083
00:50:04.119 --> 00:50:07.519
<v Speaker 1>I know, that's cool. That's the first you know, UFL

1084
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:09.599
<v Speaker 1>or XFL, you know, kind of on the modern time.

1085
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:12.079
<v Speaker 1>But I will say the league has not had any

1086
00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:14.559
<v Speaker 1>viral moments this year like that. I mean, even the

1087
00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:18.599
<v Speaker 1>even the pizza Gate stuff with USFL twenty two, but

1088
00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean at least that gott it in that There's

1089
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:23.880
<v Speaker 1>just there's been nothing, and not that they again, the

1090
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:26.400
<v Speaker 1>game play has been good and everything's in, but there's

1091
00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:29.159
<v Speaker 1>been no like you have to watch right now that

1092
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Like again, it's like no respect to Eluis Perez and

1093
00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Tamu and these guys. Like no one's saying, man,

1094
00:50:34.679 --> 00:50:37.400
<v Speaker 1>you got it, you got like Louis Perez, man you

1095
00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:39.320
<v Speaker 1>got it. You gotta why you know you gotta turn.

1096
00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know, we love and we spent, but

1097
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:42.519
<v Speaker 1>it's just I didn't know.

1098
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I but the but the problem is you're

1099
00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:49.679
<v Speaker 2>not going to get a lot of maybe even bigger

1100
00:50:49.760 --> 00:50:52.480
<v Speaker 2>name players like Max Duggan. That's a guy who was

1101
00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:56.719
<v Speaker 2>a Heisman runner up, But are are people talking about

1102
00:50:56.760 --> 00:51:00.000
<v Speaker 2>him outside of the UFL. I don't know. That's the game.

1103
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:03.760
<v Speaker 1>It's also this weird and like you said, my mom

1104
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:04.639
<v Speaker 1>is the perfect example.

1105
00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:05.159
<v Speaker 2>It is this.

1106
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:09.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just just the American football condition where like the

1107
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:11.559
<v Speaker 1>second the player graduates from college, if they didn't go

1108
00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:13.519
<v Speaker 1>to my team, like I don't care about them anymore

1109
00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.599
<v Speaker 1>for the most part, you know, And it's just it's weird.

1110
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:19.159
<v Speaker 1>It's weird. But that's that's kind of what it is.

1111
00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:19.719
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1112
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, John's off Twitter. He's off Twitter. Man. I try,

1113
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I try, I try.

1114
00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I have not been on Twitter.

1115
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:28.039
<v Speaker 1>I think the joke is I think the joke is

1116
00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you have your handle on your name.

1117
00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:32.079
<v Speaker 2>I think that's oh, oh that is yeah, that's just you.

1118
00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:37.360
<v Speaker 2>That is YouTube and Instagram and blue Sky and uh

1119
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:40.039
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, that one's not going to be live for

1120
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:41.039
<v Speaker 2>a while probably.

1121
00:51:41.039 --> 00:51:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you Blue Skuy is I go on Blue Sky,

1122
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Blue Sky is dead.

1123
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, it got it was kind of like threads.

1124
00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:48.840
<v Speaker 2>It got hot for a little bit and then just

1125
00:51:48.920 --> 00:51:51.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of disappeared real quick.

1126
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:55.199
<v Speaker 1>Here. So stallions, right, we did know we got the

1127
00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:57.440
<v Speaker 1>stallions here and all that.

1128
00:51:57.440 --> 00:51:57.880
<v Speaker 2>That's cred.

1129
00:51:58.639 --> 00:52:00.800
<v Speaker 1>This was a great game. I watched whole game through.

1130
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:06.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking here and I know he played well. Jmr

1131
00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Smith does not feel like this does not feel like

1132
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:11.119
<v Speaker 1>the same team. And this might be my hatred's words,

1133
00:52:11.159 --> 00:52:13.360
<v Speaker 1>jmr Smith, but what did you make and how did

1134
00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:13.800
<v Speaker 1>he play?

1135
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Here?

1136
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Because they still won. But I to me, this is

1137
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:19.239
<v Speaker 1>even better, bigger they wont with jmar it is.

1138
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:21.519
<v Speaker 2>I was kind of surprised that. To me, this kind

1139
00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:24.159
<v Speaker 2>of this leads me to think that Skip Holtz thinks that,

1140
00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:26.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, Alex Magoo might be ready to go, like

1141
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:29.440
<v Speaker 2>coming up here. Maybe he'll see a little bit of time.

1142
00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I'm skip holds, I'm putting all

1143
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:33.880
<v Speaker 2>my I'm putting all my quarterbacks and bubble wrapped. Like

1144
00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I said, I think I think we could we could

1145
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:39.039
<v Speaker 2>drive to what I can't where they're playing even this week,

1146
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:41.360
<v Speaker 2>but it's like, yeah, we let's let we could go

1147
00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:43.840
<v Speaker 2>down there and play quarterback because these guys can't get

1148
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:46.760
<v Speaker 2>hurt anymore. He's gone through was it seven or eight

1149
00:52:46.760 --> 00:52:51.400
<v Speaker 2>different quarterbacks so far? Yes, But what jmr was doing

1150
00:52:51.519 --> 00:52:53.519
<v Speaker 2>was entertaining. I mean that was fun to watch. Like

1151
00:52:53.519 --> 00:52:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I said, I had it on in the background, and

1152
00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:56.840
<v Speaker 2>every time I'd let around, I mean it was like,

1153
00:52:56.880 --> 00:52:59.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, he just I mean three hundred yards passing.

1154
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:02.440
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty good, and you know, and then Dandy Atley

1155
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:06.039
<v Speaker 2>getting in there and like playing. So I can understand

1156
00:53:06.039 --> 00:53:09.119
<v Speaker 2>why talking about bubble wrap, you want to keep Bryce

1157
00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Perkins in bubble rap because that guy is uh, yeah,

1158
00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:15.559
<v Speaker 2>he's he's fantastic. I just wonder if some of the rust,

1159
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:18.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, they might need to work him a little bit.

1160
00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that that'll be interesting to watch in

1161
00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:22.559
<v Speaker 2>week ten to see if he even takes a snap

1162
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:26.280
<v Speaker 2>out there. But you know, Bryce Perkins, if he had

1163
00:53:26.320 --> 00:53:28.440
<v Speaker 2>not got hurt. I mean, I think he's battling Jordan

1164
00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:31.039
<v Speaker 2>TOAMU for MVP. I.

1165
00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's hard this last couple of weeks here, and

1166
00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's hard to get the CFL Week nineteen

1167
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:39.559
<v Speaker 1>and week eight of the UFL. Like it's just really hard.

1168
00:53:39.679 --> 00:53:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I have my eyes on this one, but I'm like,

1169
00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much we're talking about this. He's

1170
00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:47.280
<v Speaker 1>sweet and it's nearly when Mark Startha Crank came out,

1171
00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:50.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Okay, thank God, Like I don't I don't

1172
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:52.159
<v Speaker 1>need to have detailed notes on the show boats on

1173
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:53.960
<v Speaker 1>ESPN three, Like, thank you for that.

1174
00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Right, but listen, you got Luis Perez watch, so that's something.

1175
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:02.039
<v Speaker 1>Anything else. Oh, the last thing here, I wanted to

1176
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:06.519
<v Speaker 1>talk through real quick. Houston here against d C. And

1177
00:54:06.920 --> 00:54:08.840
<v Speaker 1>this game was kind of a weird game because DC

1178
00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:10.119
<v Speaker 1>is kind of you they don't have a lot to

1179
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:13.119
<v Speaker 1>play for with Houston. Yeah, they Tamo didn't play in

1180
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the second half. And that's when I kind of tuned

1181
00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:17.280
<v Speaker 1>out because I had it on and I was watching

1182
00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the Mariners and they she asked whoever the sideline was. Yeah,

1183
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:24.880
<v Speaker 1>They're like Shannon, like, so, what's the game playing with Tamu,

1184
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:26.599
<v Speaker 1>like how much is he going to see this half?

1185
00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:29.960
<v Speaker 1>And he's like we're not playing and they're like, oh okay, next,

1186
00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Like well that kills them, kills my interest in this.

1187
00:54:33.239 --> 00:54:35.239
<v Speaker 1>But what did you make of this one? And I

1188
00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:36.920
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about the shirt giveaway at PM? But

1189
00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:37.519
<v Speaker 1>what do you think of this?

1190
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Well? We Pat and I were texting a little bit

1191
00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:44.119
<v Speaker 2>about Mike DeLillo and it was fun watching Jaylen mclinton.

1192
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:47.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, I thought that I felt so bad for

1193
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:49.400
<v Speaker 2>him on that what he what looked like it might

1194
00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:53.360
<v Speaker 2>be the final play and still like, you know, God

1195
00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:56.519
<v Speaker 2>bless c J. It's just it, that's you know, there

1196
00:54:56.639 --> 00:55:00.199
<v Speaker 2>was just always question like what why are you? What

1197
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:02.719
<v Speaker 2>are you talking about? And then why are you having

1198
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:05.760
<v Speaker 2>other people have to tell you what to do? It's

1199
00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:08.199
<v Speaker 2>it's hard, that's hard to watch. I love seeing Jaylen

1200
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:11.480
<v Speaker 2>McLendon though. I think I'll be interested to see hopefully

1201
00:55:11.519 --> 00:55:14.239
<v Speaker 2>he'll I wonder what they'll do in week ten. I'd

1202
00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:16.119
<v Speaker 2>love to see him, you know, play a little more.

1203
00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:18.679
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, this was you know, this was this was

1204
00:55:18.719 --> 00:55:21.199
<v Speaker 2>pretty interesting and I just felt so bad for him though,

1205
00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:23.960
<v Speaker 2>as he was trying to do make an extra effort

1206
00:55:23.960 --> 00:55:25.719
<v Speaker 2>and he fumbled the ball and then here, you know,

1207
00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:27.920
<v Speaker 2>here comes and he didn't need to do it if

1208
00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:30.360
<v Speaker 2>they would have just taken a knee and then kicked

1209
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:32.679
<v Speaker 2>a field goal or spiked and kicked the field goal

1210
00:55:33.239 --> 00:55:36.360
<v Speaker 2>as they continue, as the announcers continued to say, this game,

1211
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:39.760
<v Speaker 2>it's what was basically over and then d C drives.

1212
00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:42.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, they drive the field and almost took it.

1213
00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:44.199
<v Speaker 2>But even Jordan Tom who was kind of laughing, like

1214
00:55:44.280 --> 00:55:46.199
<v Speaker 2>laughing after the game because I mean, they didn't have

1215
00:55:46.239 --> 00:55:48.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot to play for, and you know, Houston is

1216
00:55:48.760 --> 00:55:51.000
<v Speaker 2>playing for pride, and I think that's a prideful team.

1217
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Uh. It is just the weirdest thing. Yeah, that CJ

1218
00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:57.119
<v Speaker 1>is like, hey, guys, like I only got one more

1219
00:55:57.199 --> 00:55:59.519
<v Speaker 1>time out, Like how's everyone doing here? Like I don't

1220
00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:01.360
<v Speaker 1>want to have to use that time out unless we

1221
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:04.159
<v Speaker 1>have to kick a field Actually, we should really try

1222
00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:04.639
<v Speaker 1>to score.

1223
00:56:04.440 --> 00:56:06.199
<v Speaker 2>A touchdown here because I want to touchdown.

1224
00:56:06.440 --> 00:56:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Why what what is that messaging to your players? Like

1225
00:56:10.239 --> 00:56:13.119
<v Speaker 1>you're like, because he's so used to having to kick

1226
00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:15.719
<v Speaker 1>the field goal, like in his head, I just can't. Okay,

1227
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:18.039
<v Speaker 1>let's see the best we can till we get stopped

1228
00:56:18.199 --> 00:56:21.320
<v Speaker 1>or try to score here. Like he is a weird

1229
00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:23.159
<v Speaker 1>gre I like him. I like him as a hype guy,

1230
00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:24.239
<v Speaker 1>just to like him as a coach.

1231
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I agree. I agree. He seems like a

1232
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:29.079
<v Speaker 2>nice guy and he was out there. You know, he

1233
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:31.559
<v Speaker 2>is a hype guy. But it's just it to me

1234
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:34.639
<v Speaker 2>that was surprising to me when Houston cleaned house with

1235
00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:37.960
<v Speaker 2>everyone new, GM comes in and he stayed there and

1236
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I was you know, we talked about earlier in the

1237
00:56:39.800 --> 00:56:42.360
<v Speaker 2>season we started watching him. It's like, what if you're

1238
00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:45.840
<v Speaker 2>sitting across the table and you asked him, CJ, why

1239
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:48.079
<v Speaker 2>should you keep your job? Like, what would he say?

1240
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:50.719
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know what he could have said. After

1241
00:56:51.239 --> 00:56:54.280
<v Speaker 2>week three or four, granted they got better, but it

1242
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:56.440
<v Speaker 2>still felt like they were winning in spite of him

1243
00:56:56.519 --> 00:56:59.440
<v Speaker 2>rather than because of you know, some great play calling

1244
00:56:59.480 --> 00:57:00.119
<v Speaker 2>that was going on on.

1245
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:04.199
<v Speaker 1>Here's the last thing, and I think I can do

1246
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:06.760
<v Speaker 1>this and then we'll get out. There was the note

1247
00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:09.559
<v Speaker 1>after the game, excuse me, sorry, I drink too much water.

1248
00:57:09.599 --> 00:57:12.719
<v Speaker 1>They got the bubbles, they they were like giving away

1249
00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:15.239
<v Speaker 1>all this merch and Jenna had an ass to be like,

1250
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:18.960
<v Speaker 1>from what I can gather here, it has xfl on it.

1251
00:57:18.960 --> 00:57:21.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like old new old merchant. I think that someone

1252
00:57:21.760 --> 00:57:25.719
<v Speaker 1>that lewis stuff as well. So, uh, there was some

1253
00:57:25.800 --> 00:57:28.800
<v Speaker 1>concern that they were giving away merch after the game.

1254
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:32.480
<v Speaker 1>And that is my understanding. So if anyone else has

1255
00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:34.920
<v Speaker 1>a different understanding, it's just getting rid of old stuff

1256
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:37.159
<v Speaker 1>that they don't want to sell because it says and

1257
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:41.239
<v Speaker 1>I think they might be abandoning that trademark like maybe

1258
00:57:41.320 --> 00:57:42.639
<v Speaker 1>write the article.

1259
00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:44.920
<v Speaker 2>You got seven hundred dollars, we'll pick it up. But

1260
00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I do I did, I think you sent me this,

1261
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:51.239
<v Speaker 2>And I do wonder if that was just there that

1262
00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:53.199
<v Speaker 2>some other you know, we might see that in some

1263
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:56.280
<v Speaker 2>of the home venues, you know, this weekend of the

1264
00:57:56.320 --> 00:57:58.079
<v Speaker 2>non playoff teams.

1265
00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:00.960
<v Speaker 1>That would be my assumption. I would not think that

1266
00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:07.280
<v Speaker 1>they would just like in here, Okay, here's my rampant

1267
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:10.440
<v Speaker 1>speculation before we get out of here. Is something's going

1268
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:12.840
<v Speaker 1>on where they can't sell that because it has the

1269
00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:15.320
<v Speaker 1>XFL mark on it and they have to give it away.

1270
00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Is I guarantee like what it is, and there's some

1271
00:58:18.119 --> 00:58:20.400
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing with something and they can't sell it

1272
00:58:20.440 --> 00:58:22.239
<v Speaker 1>and they have to give it away, And that's just

1273
00:58:22.719 --> 00:58:25.000
<v Speaker 1>because I guarantee you they'd sell it if they could.

1274
00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean they discount sure on the stuff.

1275
00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Someone someone walked into a where into a storage room

1276
00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and found a box of that and says, oh my god,

1277
00:58:33.039 --> 00:58:34.960
<v Speaker 2>we can't sell this, so we we'll give it away.

1278
00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I mean, it's like it's even stuff that goes

1279
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:39.400
<v Speaker 1>on with like us or anything.

1280
00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Like.

1281
00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:46.920
<v Speaker 1>The simplest answer is usually probably the right answer to Paggy,

1282
00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:49.039
<v Speaker 1>somebody don't trust a man who wears the crocs in

1283
00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:51.000
<v Speaker 1>attack mot. I don't know that's the joke. Pat want

1284
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:53.679
<v Speaker 1>to be sure, John, I appreciate it. We're heading to

1285
00:58:53.719 --> 00:58:56.559
<v Speaker 1>the Tacoma in years game here for a wedding network. John,

1286
00:58:56.559 --> 00:58:59.039
<v Speaker 1>anything else from you, make sure you use John's I

1287
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:02.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't talk off the top jails on Royal Retros. I

1288
00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:05.000
<v Speaker 1>was talking to Dustin even today. He was trying to

1289
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:06.840
<v Speaker 1>get some work for the guy that helped me do

1290
00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:08.719
<v Speaker 1>my jersey. So that would be cool if we worked

1291
00:59:08.719 --> 00:59:11.199
<v Speaker 1>that out. So you know, it's people helping people. But

1292
00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:13.079
<v Speaker 1>anything else you got from you, No.

1293
00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:15.199
<v Speaker 2>It's listen, it's been it has been a fun season.

1294
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I think there are some things that we can look

1295
00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:19.320
<v Speaker 2>forward to in week ten, but you know, big time

1296
00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:21.400
<v Speaker 2>is going to be the playoffs. And I think there's

1297
00:59:21.400 --> 00:59:23.519
<v Speaker 2>going to be change after the season, but we will see.

1298
00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Let's uh, we'll end it on a well in it

1299
00:59:25.760 --> 00:59:29.000
<v Speaker 2>on a positive note. I think these conference championship games

1300
00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:31.159
<v Speaker 2>next week are going to be really good.

1301
00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm all in. I need Michigan to be I

1302
00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:36.480
<v Speaker 1>need Mike Nolan to beat Skill. I can't deal. I

1303
00:59:36.519 --> 00:59:39.480
<v Speaker 1>can't have the Stallions. So well, yeah, what would be

1304
00:59:39.519 --> 00:59:41.400
<v Speaker 1>your idea like defenders Panthers?

1305
00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:43.840
<v Speaker 2>My my ideal? Change?

1306
00:59:43.880 --> 00:59:44.480
<v Speaker 1>You want St.

1307
00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Louis, But I mean, I'm I want to see Saint

1308
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Louis and Birmingham again. I mean, to me, I would

1309
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:53.880
<v Speaker 2>like to see that. But uh, but again, as you know,

1310
00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:58.920
<v Speaker 2>my USFL team was Birmingham, my XFL team was Saint Louis.

1311
00:59:58.920 --> 01:00:00.920
<v Speaker 2>And when we went to the and saw the game,

1312
01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:04.039
<v Speaker 2>my wife just said, you seemed completely conflicted, And I

1313
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:07.440
<v Speaker 2>was like, I just can't cheer for Birmingham to do badly.

1314
01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:09.760
<v Speaker 2>But I also, you know, and I can't cheer run

1315
01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I only get beaten up here in Saint Louis. So

1316
01:00:12.079 --> 01:00:14.480
<v Speaker 2>but to me, I think that would be be the

1317
01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>best matchup. It was certainly a great regular season game.

1318
01:00:17.480 --> 01:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you might not make it through the game, so

1319
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>we for your just like head did not explode anyway, John,

1320
01:00:23.559 --> 01:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. We'll see you guys next time and

1321
01:00:26.599 --> 01:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>take care.
