And so I'm testing 22 00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.840 my own acumen when it comes to business and when 23 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.040 it comes to setting up things and being technologically sound. 24 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.680 So we'll see what happens if in fact, and I 25 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.960 think the fact that you guys are are logging in 26 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:16.400 already it's a it's a good thing because you're staring 27 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.159 at me. 28 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:19.879 Which is always a good thing. 29 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.240 Steve Cook said, to join us at nine forty five 30 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.280 and then we'll talk at Landy Nightey two for like 31 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.879 fifteen to twenty minutes and we'll get into MLS Next Pro. 32 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.879 Because MLS Next Pro two o'clock and three o'clock this afternoon. 33 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.919 It's the pick your dance partner part of the program. 34 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.879 With the playoffs, a lot of alliteration from anxious anchors 35 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:43.400 placed in powerful posts. 36 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:45.560 So what you've. 37 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.439 Got is the chance to if you are the one, 38 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.719 Morning Wiley, Morning Abby, Morning Dell, you have the opportunity 39 00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.080 to pick your dance partner, and then you end up 40 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:09.919 with something that legitimately gave issues too folks last season, 41 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.599 so they picked their dance partners, and I said, that's 42 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.319 that's part of the deal with Part of the deal 43 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.159 with MLS Next Pro is that you know if you are, 44 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.199 if you're the one, then you can pick from anybody below, 45 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.199 you know, five through eight, and then the two gets 46 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.120 to pick, and then the three gets to pick and 47 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.280 the four is left over with what you got. So 48 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.800 didn't really work out all that well last year, So 49 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.599 we'll see what happens this year.

Oh, the scrolling thigamajig. I guess 52 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.479 this might well, this is the scrolling thigamajig as Abby 53 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.240 is seeing here on the on the video side of things. 54 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:54.400 That's that's from our friends. 55 00:03:54.240 --> 00:04:00.560 At glance Led, and glance Led is something that I 56 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.360 stumbled across and the boss was like, ooh, you got 57 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:09.000 to get that. And so what you can get is 58 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.280 various sizes of boards and literally this was the only 59 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.519 one that could fit unless I put it like on 60 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.720 the h unless I put it on the train track. 61 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.519 Because you can get various sizes and it gives you 62 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.000 up to date information, news, whether what have you, and 63 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.120 you could program all the sports you want, news of 64 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.720 the morning, all that kind of stuff. And so yeah, 65 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:31.399 this is from our friends at glance Led, and so 66 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.839 I guess this means now I'm gonna have to clip 67 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:39.879 this for them and send it to them, because yeah, 68 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.360 well and I know it's it's Uh, it's kind of 69 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.480 then don't look at me. So what it does is 70 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.160 it gives all the final scores and it helps me 71 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.560 out because there are times where I would you know it, 72 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.639 maybe it saves me. It saves me a little time 73 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.560 in trying to talk about stuff occasionally. So you'll get 74 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.879 uh store, you get scores from Europe, you'll get matchups, mls, 75 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.199 all that kind of stuff. And so that's from our 76 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.199 friends at glance Led. They've got a couple of different 77 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:12.720 sizes of devices, and uh, I mean what I you know, 78 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:14.879 I what I could do is I could expand I 79 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.600 could I could expand this and see what's going on. 80 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.439 So but no, it's it's from our friends at glance Led. 81 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.000 And I'm debating getting the larger size and maybe putting 82 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:26.759 it in the train track, but that would sacrifice some 83 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:28.639 hats and we'll see what happens there. But now, it 84 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:35.079 was very very very very cool idea and so uh 85 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:40.800 it was all of the all of the deal. So 86 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.720 we'll see what is Uh, we'll see what's going on 87 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:45.920 with our friends at glance Led. 88 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.920 So all I know is, uh, what you got with 89 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.079 all of that stuff. That's all. 90 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.720 That's all I know all right, so opening kickoff brought 91 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:00.839 to buy our friends at kickoff cough morning, Pars. I 92 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.079 know it's in the fifties and things. Uh you know 93 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.439 it's uh yeah, so we'll see what's going on anyway. 94 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.480 Uh that's that's what's that's what's up this morning. So 95 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.759 we'll see what's up Land. It's like I said, Steve 96 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:19.720 Cook said, to join us nine and we'll discuss what's 97 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.360 up with uh, what's going on with uh Atlanta United 98 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.079 two and MLS next pro Like I said, we'll have 99 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.920 our we'll talk about dance partners and things like that, 100 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.879 and we'll talk about the season that Steve had with 101 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:39.680 Atlanta United. I think it's uh, let's see SDHL Fresco 102 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.399 nicely done, Hodge odds. Atlanta United makes the playoffs. I 103 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.639 think it was somewhere between two and ten percent. I 104 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.879 think that was the number. So uh so we'll see 105 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:53.360 what's up and uh all right, that's all I know 106 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.360 for that anyway.

So I was, I said, I 135 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:36.720 was here in the office yesterday. I was here in 136 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.799 office HD yesterday wandering around. And because you know, when 137 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.159 you step on things you come inside, you know, you 138 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.639 bring stuff on the bottom of your shoes and on 139 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:48.840 your clothes and things like that. 140 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:55.360 So I ended up stepping on I'm guessing a. 141 00:08:55.559 --> 00:09:00.039 Thorn of some description or something sharp, and so so 142 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.519 you know how it gets on the bottom of your 143 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.639 foot and everything, and you're trying to sit there and go, okay, 144 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.440 try and get this out, you know. And you're sitting 145 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.279 there and you're trying to sit down and contort and 146 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:15.200 try to find like a pair of tweezers or something 147 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.960 to try to that kind of a thing, and you're 148 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.519 trying to get the get the splinter out of your foot. 149 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:29.080 I was unsuccessful and so waiting entirely too late to 150 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.480 get the splinter out of my foot. It is now 151 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:37.360 like embedded and you can't get to it. So that's 152 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.240 what well, David, Yeah, kind of like lego blocks but 153 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:47.039 smaller and more impactful because it's a splinter and it's 154 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.919 now literally in my foot and I can't do anything 155 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.679 about it because it's past the line of. 156 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:55.159 Hydrogen peroxide. 157 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:59.159 Thank you, Havy, because I was going to ask, see, see, 158 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.159 this is what happens when we're together for like the 159 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.960 seventh season, and that's what I'm saying. 160 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.559 Four card, it's in there forever. But if you you. 161 00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.000 Know, but if you're abby, Abby's like paroxide, didn't take 162 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.039 a bath and needle it out. 163 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:12.720 So that's where I am right now. 164 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.240 So suffice to say, when I'm walking around with shoes, 165 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:22.240 it doesn't hurt. When I'm walking around barefoot, I'm mashing 166 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.200 onto that splinter and I'm constantly being reminded of how 167 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.159 deep it is inside my foot. No, no, pars, I 168 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.759 do not take I do not take feet picks. 169 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.720 Pars. I do not take feet picks. Not happening. 170 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.600 No, you would have to actually, I would have to 171 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:44.919 actually know what I'm doing when it comes to taking 172 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.320 pictures in the first place, I end up taking pictures 173 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.200 of stuff that's facing the other way because you know, 174 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.320 like if you're because with the phone, you know, you 175 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:55.919 sit there and you log in, you hit your you 176 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.000 hit your photo ID, and it's like you take a 177 00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:59.679 picture and ends up you want to take a picture 178 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:01.519 that way, it ends up being a picture of your face. 179 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.840 I still have to navigate that kind of stuff. But no, 180 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.320 I was going to ask an Abby beat me to it. 181 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:11.039 If there's a point of no return, if there's something 182 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.000 that I end up that I can end up doing 183 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.720 and chasing after it and get it out of my 184 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.759 foot because it hurts like hell. 185 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.679 So that's what I was That's what I was chasing after. 186 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:23.080 David says, I think if you keep walking it turns 187 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.279 into a diamond in fifteen years. That wouldn't go over 188 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.480 well because then I would do circulation in my foot 189 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:32.240 unless it just falls out of my foot in fifteen years. Yeah, Hutch, Yeah, 190 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.039 just look at the old the old James, but the 191 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.519 most recent James Bond movie with nanobots. 192 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.120 I think that that might be work. 193 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.879 Abby's like, get a corn pad and have the spot 194 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.879 in the middle cushioned all around. Then you're good until 195 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:51.759 you can dig it out. Okay, Yeah, four card knows 196 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:55.840 a little too much about all this stuff. Yeah, so 197 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.600 Nick's basically wasting no time. He's just getting right to 198 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.639 the end. But it just amputated. 199 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:02.919 Sorry. 200 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:03.879 Limbs are cool, though. 201 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:06.879 I don't know if the boss would I could just 202 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.879 see the boss right now actually where literally it would 203 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.559 be like, you know, dude, what are you doing. I'm 204 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:17.360 amputating my I'm amputating the base of my foot because 205 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.320 there's a splinter in there. Oh okay, carry on, She'll walk 206 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:27.360 out of the room. Yeah, one of those kind of things. So, uh, amputation. Yeah, 207 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.000 home amputation kit, I think would be what I would 208 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.200 need next, Nicks. So yeah, the home amputation kit would 209 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.559 be the next the next thing that would be on 210 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.759 the line. Why do I have sharp objects on my floor? Well, 211 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.639 I mean, like I said, it's just it's you know, 212 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:45.840 like you go out walking and then you end up 213 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:47.799 with like stuff that attaches to the sole of your 214 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.639 shoe and or you know, you wander inside. You know, 215 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:53.799 you're out there trying to clean out in the yard, 216 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.519 and so things, you know, things blow in, things end 217 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.679 up on the bottom of your shoes. It happens, Nicks. 218 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.600 Sunrises in the east sets in the West. We pay 219 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.480 our taxes in April, and we'd always drag things into 220 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.480 the house off of a shoe or a piece of 221 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:14.200 clothing or something like that. So Della is listening on 222 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.279 the peloton this morning. He's got a half iron man 223 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.600 in the nineteenth Does that make you either iron or 224 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:18.960 a man? 225 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.159 Which one? I don't know. 226 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:23.279 That's why I'm asking, no way I would ever complete 227 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.200 one of those things. You're a better man than I. 228 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:29.840 De Graham feel better, please, So that is that was 229 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:33.759 opening kickoff. I was wondering if there was a solution. 230 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.480 And well, this is what in pars okay, so Par says, 231 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.080 next time duct tape. Well, because what I did is 232 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.159 I took packing tape and I put it on the 233 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:44.120 sole of my foot and I tried to do the 234 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:48.120 same thing and it didn't quite work. Uh So I 235 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.480 you know, I was right there with you, Pars. I 236 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.840 was right there with you. I was thinking, you know, 237 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.320 something like packing tape. Somewhere in there. I had packing 238 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.320 tape because it was easily accessible, and it didn't work. 239 00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.919 So it was an idea. Abby, I'm good. 240 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.080 Uh Like I said, I'll probably do your peroxide bit 241 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.200 because I'm sure we have peroxide. Uh well, and yeah, 242 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.600 Dell Dell is asking epsom salt and ibby saying peroxide. 243 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.720 So I'll go with hydrogen peroxide because I know we 244 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.039 have that in the house. So at eleven oh something, 245 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.200 I will probably go upstairs to the bathroom and try 246 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:22.000 and figure out, Okay, here's the deal. And then so 247 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.000 it would end up being hydrogen peroxide, and then maybe 248 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:26.799 I could blonde my hair out a little bit, you know, 249 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.159 get it, get it in and around. Obviously I would 250 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:33.440 take the headset off first, but but that that would 251 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:36.080 be what I'm what I'm chasing it. No, Dell, I'm 252 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.759 not worth. I'm not worth the money. But Dell's like 253 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:42.200 the boss is trying to kill me. No, I'm worth 254 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.080 about I'm worth what is it? They say the body's 255 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.960 worth about thirty seven cents. That's about what I'm worth. 256 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:51.120 So it's no, uh, Hutch, I'm guessing, U. 257 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:52.919 Hutch. 258 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:59.039 I'm guessing it's like one of those wood splinters. So 259 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:03.039 it would be it's a wood splinter, I guess, Dell. 260 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.720 It is not the basement, sir, It is the office. 261 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.799 Is the office that is not a basement. Leave the 262 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:11.480 headset on. 263 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.480 The contrast stripe would look great. 264 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.879 Yeah, well, you know, I mean it's just like it's like, okay, 265 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:18.919 so which which part of me is functioning here? 266 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.960 Uh clear? 267 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.960 Okay, Abby, You see now I needles, sterilize a needle, 268 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.120 cleared out ground, and have a good pair of tweezers, 269 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:28.919 So I could do I could do the tweezer part, 270 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.919 I could do the hydrogen peroxide part, the whole needle thing. 271 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.919 You didn't get me to do that because then that's 272 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.559 more surface area that I'm responsible for, and you don't 273 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.399 want that. But no, I was just I was wondering, 274 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.559 since I was past the point of no return, is 275 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.559 there a way to reverse the process. That was my 276 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:47.360 opening kickoff, and so it seems like hydrogen peroxide is 277 00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.080 the way to go when we're at past the point 278 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.559 of no return. So that, like I said, that was 279 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.240 like that was my big question. That was my big question. 280 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.759 And so that was where that was where I was 281 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.639 this morning.

Great move for Charleston. Hopefully it pays off 365 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.160 for Merchanic as well. So but yeah, just an MLS 366 00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.680 Next Pro discussion of two's discussion within the framework of 367 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.720 Atlanta nighted those kinds of things. So we'll catch up 368 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.079 with Steve about twenty minutes. The awards have come out, 369 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:20.440 The nominations have come out, not the giving of the awards, 370 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:24.079 but the nominations have come out for all of the 371 00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:29.440 awards in Major League Soccer, and it is one of 372 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.880 those things where we get to see, you know, who's 373 00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:34.039 been nominated, who's doing what, and who's going where. 374 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.079 Jared Smith joining us. Good morning, Jared, Good morning Joe. 375 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.759 So I actually did a thing, I guess, huh with 376 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:43.559 the kind. 377 00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.559 Of with the with the the the passwords and pass 378 00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:49.640 codes and everything, I actually formulated a room in a 379 00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.400 studio space where we can come and just congregate and 380 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:54.480 not have to send the same thing each and every 381 00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:55.119 single time. 382 00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:57.119 I did a thing. 383 00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:58.599 Man, you did a thing. 384 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:05.039 So when Steve comes on in twenty minutes, first off, 385 00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:06.319 are you going to be able to hang out with 386 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:06.960 us or is. 387 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.960 The real world gonna enep me until ten? Okay? So okay, So. 388 00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:18.640 It will be a fun discussion with Steve about MLS 389 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:23.279 Next Pro and the twos and player development and coaching 390 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.599 challenges and things like that. So, uh, get your questions 391 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:30.759 ready for Steve in the next when he comes on 392 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:32.160 in about twenty minutes to discuss it. 393 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:33.079 Land United too. 394 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:35.079 But when you look back at the season for the 395 00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:39.200 two specifically with the playoffs coming up, the announcement where 396 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:40.880 you get to pick your dance partner at two and 397 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:44.119 three depending on your conference. Today, when you look back 398 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:47.119 at the season for the twos, what sticks in your mind? 399 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:53.039 I think just the first For me, it's frustration because 400 00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:55.480 of the potential they showed, but they didn't quite reach 401 00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:59.440 if that makes sense right. And you know, we talked 402 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.319 to Steve. Games were you know, they would put on 403 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:05.799 you have, you Have, and you'd always have games like 404 00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:07.680 this where you know, you felt like you played well, 405 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.519 you played better than the result. And then you'd have 406 00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:12.720 games where you pulled out a win. And we talked 407 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:14.720 to him and they got to clean that up. They 408 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.759 can't play like that and win next week. And it's 409 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.720 all a learning process because, yeah, you've got academy kids 410 00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:24.799 that play there. You'd love to see I think more 411 00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:28.799 academy kids all the time. But it's tricky because so 412 00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:32.200 many of these kids in the past are getting ready early, 413 00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.720 especially early in the season. They're getting ready to go 414 00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:38.599 to college, they're getting ready to you know, to get 415 00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:42.359 moved into some place in some cases across the damn country, 416 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.920 and you know, they're trying to get their lives moving 417 00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.480 in that direction. And then you've also got guys who 418 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.759 are going to be playing in MLS next tournaments. And 419 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.680 with academy games, it's it's so much easier said than 420 00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:58.799 done to just say, well, just play all the academy 421 00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.440 kids all the time. It's not always easy. They're not 422 00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:05.200 always there and it's tricky. We've talked to him, God knows, 423 00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:07.880 We've talked to Tony, we talked to Steven Glass spout 424 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.519 of the past. Man, it's hard to like, it's hard 425 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.720 to build that continuous continuity because then aside from that, 426 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.240 you have first team guys getting or tecond team guys 427 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.480 getting pulled up to the first team for training, academy 428 00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:23.839 kids getting pulled up to the first team for training. Like, 429 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:28.480 that's a lot, man, as far as the whole entire 430 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:32.319 you know, how it went down, Like, it's disappointing because 431 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.839 I think they showed that if they could have had 432 00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:39.480 that consistency continually, they could have made noise. They had 433 00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:45.000 the talent. You know, you brought in a really dynamic 434 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:47.839 striker in the middle of the window to acquire on 435 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.039 Glla Garry. I'm interested to see what this looks like 436 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:54.880 going into next year for the twos, because you're gonna 437 00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:59.880 have some of the academy guys a year older. You're 438 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.400 gonna have decisions to make on guys like Eric Steno, 439 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:05.680 who's been here for three years now and has been 440 00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:10.160 trying to break through. Jadan Hibbert's going to continue to improve, 441 00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.640 and I thought he just kept just taking leaps him 442 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:19.039 balance all year last year. Man, Yeah, you've got you know, 443 00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:21.160 Daniel Russa is gonna want to come back and prove 444 00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:25.119 something after having an unfortunate injury. M there's a lot 445 00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.119 of questions ask and we'll see how the one year 446 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:30.079 deals work out with it too, because I'm sure you'll 447 00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:34.319 get another group of those you know, just screamed to 448 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:36.079 meet me, come back. What is scream to me? Me's 449 00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:44.640 future look like? You know, what does what does you 450 00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:49.559 know Nick Corrido's future look like? How does this play 451 00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:52.039 out for the for guys like that who kind of 452 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:56.119 feel like they are veterans and leaders but might have 453 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.039 a chance to go somewhere and get more. Yeah, we 454 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:01.480 saw a fat It was one of those guys get 455 00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:03.920 loaned out to Lo City and I lose it, trigger 456 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:06.799 the purchase and he's driving up there and happy, happy 457 00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:11.359 for eight. So just interested to see what you find 458 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.799 with that because those I know, those one year deals 459 00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:17.039 and some I think some clubs do like two or 460 00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:18.880 three year deals with those guys they bring in who 461 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.279 are not a part of the system. They're kind of weird, 462 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:25.720 but for a place like Atlanta. They can be very 463 00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:29.519 useful to try and help, try and help somebody uncover 464 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:31.759 what they can be and get did that with Nick Permino. 465 00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:34.319 Nick Forereno again was a homegrown in New England who 466 00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.960 didn't stick comes here and was you know, he was 467 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.880 the MLS next Progress eleven last year. Damn you're one 468 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.920 of the boot this year. Kind of caught in between 469 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.160 because of you know, getting benches with the first team, 470 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:53.119 not always being available for the second team. You know, what, 471 00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:55.680 where do you go? Where does he go from here? 472 00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:58.240 And can you go find another guy like that where 473 00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:59.640 you might be able to knock some dust off a 474 00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:00.640 bottle and see what's it? 475 00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:01.640 Yep? 476 00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:07.400 And I mentioned Alan Carlton on Instagram yesterday mentioning doing 477 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.319 the thank you note for Landy United. And when you 478 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.599 see something, Yeah, when when you see someone like Alan 479 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:21.200 Carlton develop over X number of years and you get 480 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:25.599 to see the sand paper version of Alan Carlton come 481 00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:29.440 to come to fruition where you get to see his imagination. 482 00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:31.000 But at the same time you got to see his 483 00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:35.200 sandpaper that was attached to Uh. You know, it's like 484 00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:39.279 you think, just because somebody is you know, hyper skinny, 485 00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:42.000 and you think he's going to be a pushover. Alan 486 00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:46.240 proved in the twenty four season that yeah, you just 487 00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:50.680 keep you keep underesting, underestimating me, and I'm gonna do 488 00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:52.960 a sombrero and a whoop you do around you. I'm 489 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:54.799 going to leave you about ten yards behind me. And 490 00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:56.240 then if you want to try to, you know, bow 491 00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.160 up on me, well we'll play a little chippy, will 492 00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:01.000 get a little sandpaper and I'll get in your grill. 493 00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:03.160 There's nothing, there's nothing wrong with that. I mean to 494 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:05.599 see that evolution of Alan Carlton. I thought was really 495 00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:06.480 cool in twenty four. 496 00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:12.839 It was he really took off this year. And yeah, 497 00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:17.319 it sucks like he's leading. Sounds like makes me wonder 498 00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:21.920 if somebody reached out, if you got basically a somebody 499 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:23.920 reached out and said, hey, we'll we'll give you a 500 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:28.319 shot right now, whether it be MLS or USL. If 501 00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:31.680 somebody said here's a guaranteed contract, come down here and 502 00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:33.400 be part of the project, come up here, depart of 503 00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.759 the project, whatever, it might be interesting to see where 504 00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:43.519 he lands. Because he had made such progress, uh, you know, 505 00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:47.920 in this organization, and I think he you know, he 506 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:49.960 started to bowk up at, which we had been begging 507 00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:53.079 for for a while. Man, Yeah, I hate see it 508 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.480 leave because the kid, the kids talented, these technicals all hell, 509 00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:02.480 and he's got he's got grit doing Hopefully Reverie lands 510 00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.880 he thrives. Because at the end of the day, like, yeah, 511 00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:07.160 you want to keep all of these guys who have potential, 512 00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:11.920 but you can't. It's not possible. See, I hope you 513 00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:14.000 keep the right ones, and all you can do is 514 00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:17.039 try and keep as many as you can. Yeah, and 515 00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.519 the ones that you can't keep, you just have to 516 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:21.200 lois them the best and hope that they can go 517 00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.359 find success and hope that you've done what you can 518 00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:24.759 to set them up for success. 519 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:26.160 Yeah, that's kind. 520 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.160 Of the end of the day, up it. You can't 521 00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.279 keep all of them. Sometimes they want to move on. 522 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.839 Sometimes you might not feel like they're going to break 523 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:38.559 through in a specific position where they are, and there's 524 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:40.519 a lot of bodies in the way. They might decide 525 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:43.200 they want to go try and do something else, whatever 526 00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:46.759 it might be. You just kind of have to You 527 00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:48.160 kind of have to try and get them as ready 528 00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:50.200 as you can to be useful and to be a 529 00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:51.960 part of your project. And if they don't, if they 530 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:53.400 aren't part of the project, you got to hope that 531 00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.519 they go and are able to drive somewhere else. 532 00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:02.279 Yeah, and I mean you may mention Aiden McFadden and 533 00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:06.279 lou City. There's always the Lanty Nighted two pipeline that 534 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:08.559 goes to our buddy Stephen Glass out of Memphis nine 535 00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:10.720 oh one, where on any given day there could have 536 00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:13.599 been at least three or four former Landy United two 537 00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:16.960 players that were attached. 538 00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:17.519 To his success. 539 00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:20.279 Uh, you know, Chris Allen is still floating around in 540 00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:22.640 USL Championship. You had a guy like Jack Kerr who's 541 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.400 out in Sacramento as well. So you get to to 542 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:28.160 see players come by and then you get to see 543 00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:29.119 them take their next steps. 544 00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:29.359 Yeah. 545 00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:32.359 D Graham mentioned Jarrett alluded to it, the idea of 546 00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:34.440 a forty man roster or eighteen or available and d 547 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:36.400 grams loan everything out. 548 00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:37.240 Yeah, loan everything. 549 00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:44.799 It doesn't work, Unfortunately it doesn't work. Then something we've 550 00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:48.440 worked on before, but the hell, let's revisit. It would 551 00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:56.680 help if MLSPA, oh boy, MLS and the NCAA could 552 00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.640 all be locked in a room together and to figure 553 00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:03.440 out how they want to do this so that we 554 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:06.240 could have academy kids make the bench on a first 555 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:13.880 team roster. We need Tom you know where, hey Columbus 556 00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:15.640 like when they had to when they lost their goalkeeper 557 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.400 in that game, and and wolf Nazi kind of promo, Like, 558 00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:22.599 imagine a world where a kid can play for a 559 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.119 USL team out of the academy and not burn his 560 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:32.440 uh his in double eligibility. USL is a pro league, 561 00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:34.799 second division pro league, but if he plays for an 562 00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:38.039 LS team, he burns his eligibility because the INCLA just 563 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.720 doesn't always make sense and it needs to be more 564 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:44.160 of a living, breathing thing into that respect, I think, 565 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:46.759 because imagine if Columbus said, hey, we got a seventeen 566 00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:48.880 year old goalkeeper who we're just gonna call up for 567 00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:50.799 the academy and hopefully he doesn't have to play it. 568 00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:52.599 If he does, if he's in the shooting range, and 569 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:54.960 he'll get the room, he'll get to keep that memory forever, 570 00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.519 good or bad. 571 00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:57.240 I mean, damn. 572 00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:01.200 The National Hockey League in Arenas have a emergency keepers 573 00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:02.559 for these kinds of situations. 574 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.359 Who was that? Who was it? Was it the Canes 575 00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:07.359 that had to do that? 576 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:09.880 Or yeah, it was it was the Canes that had 577 00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:10.799 against the Leaves. 578 00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:14.359 Yeah, they went like in like pull a guy off 579 00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:17.519 the street who was playing like pick up hockey with 580 00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.559 his like in like a pick up like an adult 581 00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:23.079 league or something. Yeah, like you suited him up for 582 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:27.119 one game and he got the win. Because if there's 583 00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.160 any team in the NHL that's going to lose a 584 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:32.720 game to a team that is missing like three or 585 00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:35.720 four goalkeepers that just pulls a guy off the street, 586 00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:39.000 throws a shirt on him and sticks him between the pipes, 587 00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:41.359 it's gonna be to rough. Yeah. 588 00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:44.759 And then before that, remember it was the Chicago Blackhawks 589 00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:49.279 who had the league keeper, the beer league guy that 590 00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:51.240 was there sitting in the stats and got the call. 591 00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.119 So yeah, it was the Canes, and then before that 592 00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.920 it was Chicago. And in both of those instances you 593 00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.960 had legendary movement. And you've got great stories about dude 594 00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:02.279 who are like in their late twenties, early thirties or 595 00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.440 mid thirties. Yeah, so sure, why not, But no, the 596 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:11.039 NCAA and no, we can't, we can't have we can't 597 00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:11.799 have nice things. 598 00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:17.680 Jared simplify that like in the MLSPA, like he sit 599 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:20.119 down and figure out how to kind of rope in 600 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.480 these MLSNX Pro players into the MLSPA bullies so that 601 00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:27.720 everyone is involved and that everybody's getting the coverage they 602 00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:29.519 need so that you can move back and forth and 603 00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:34.799 make loaning players I think easier, make player movement easier. 604 00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:37.160 But there's always going to be tricks with managing second 605 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:41.119 teams and yeah, man, it's weird. 606 00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:44.880 Yeah, and I want to get into the all the 607 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:48.799 magic tricks that it takes to make sure that things 608 00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:51.079 go as well as humanly possible. Like I said, Steve 609 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:52.960 Cook coming up in about five minutes or so, so 610 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:56.720 it'll be really cool to kind of pick his brain 611 00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:01.319 when it comes to the all lives and times of 612 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:05.559 MLS Next Pro, because I know that a lot of 613 00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:09.279 folks get locked into the idea of Okay, you're a 614 00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:13.599 team in a league, therefore you're there to try and 615 00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.279 win championships and things like that. 616 00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:19.480 But an MLS Next Pro, that's a part of the equation. 617 00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:21.359 It's not the full equation. You have to do. 618 00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:24.960 You have to juggle the idea of player development plus 619 00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:28.240 trying to win and the lessons that go along with it. 620 00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:32.759 Jared, Yeah, you do. And look some some programs that 621 00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:35.200 handle it better. You look at some of the you know, 622 00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:40.160 sex person standing zone. The Columbus wins at year one. Yeah, 623 00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:43.599 if Philly and New York are generally near the top, 624 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.279 the system is more of a streamline, straight line in 625 00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:53.200 terms of style. Yeah, man, it's some places are handling 626 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:55.160 it better than others. I mean there are some places 627 00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:57.920 they handle it worse. In Atlanta kind of in the 628 00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:00.160 middle of the road where they go through I think 629 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:02.240 every club in NL six pro has gone through those 630 00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:05.480 stretches where they'll go about a month and you're looking 631 00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:11.280 like you do you guys even know each other names, 632 00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:14.480 where they just look at the sink and then they'll 633 00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:16.119 give a little bit of time on the train, crowd 634 00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:18.719 together and like, oh this this is terrifying too much, 635 00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:22.599 you guys, where's this thing? It's tough, man, Like, I 636 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.719 think every club deals with that, and it's just part 637 00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:27.679 of like I said, you know, first, the guys called 638 00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.119 up the first team training, they might not always be 639 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:32.519 training together building that chemistry that they want to have 640 00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:34.719 because the first team's looking at those guys saying, come 641 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.159 train with us, show me something to you end up 642 00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:40.840 like a Formino situation and it's it's tough to balance 643 00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:44.079 it and stuff, you know as well, where you're gonna 644 00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:47.400 have situations where like first team says, hey, we're off 645 00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:52.159 this week. These two or three guys they need minutes. 646 00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:57.199 We're sending them down to play for you. And that 647 00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:01.639 can be a thing where it's where it's yeah, we're 648 00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:03.079 sending them down to play for you, and you're kind 649 00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:07.079 of being volatile. Yeah, and it's because you're working for 650 00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:08.960 the organization as a whole. The first team is the 651 00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:12.480 most important thing. So you might have to shuffle your 652 00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:14.360 line up a bit and shuffle your expectations and shuffle 653 00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:16.679 who you put on the bench and see who's available 654 00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:19.159 because of injury or if they're going out and playing tournaments, 655 00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.280 or if they're getting ready to go to college, or 656 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:24.480 you know, whatever the hell it might be. First half 657 00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:26.880 of the year and MLS next pro is always going 658 00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:29.239 to be just chaotic mm hmm. 659 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:34.480 And now it's uh, we'll get into the chaos here. 660 00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:39.199 And as as Jared as you as you speak about 661 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:41.760 the chaos, we have the man who is running point 662 00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:43.639 on part of the chaos about ready to drop in. 663 00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:46.280 Let's see if what's what's on Steve Cook's mind here 664 00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:47.960 as we bring him in this morning. 665 00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:51.119 Steve, it's John and Jarrett. Thanks for dropping by this morning. 666 00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:52.480 It's a pleasure to be with you. 667 00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:57.320 When you look back now that you've had, you know, 668 00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:58.960 a little bit of time to kind of let the 669 00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:01.920 twenty four see and digest. I guess what are some 670 00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:04.119 of the things that stick in your head about at 671 00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:06.440 Lane United too, and what you were able to accomplish 672 00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:07.920 this season and MLS next pro. 673 00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:12.039 I think when when you look back on a season 674 00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:15.079 as a competitor, and I'll address this one first, and 675 00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:17.480 you don't win the trophy at the end of the season, 676 00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:20.480 you're always a little bit disappointed, you know. I don't 677 00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:23.039 think that'll ever change for someone like me, or for 678 00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:25.840 most of the players that we have with us, and 679 00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:28.320 certainly not the coaching staff or the club. You know, 680 00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.280 this is what it's like when you're at a big, 681 00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:33.480 big club. The reality, though, is that the two sitting 682 00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:38.280 a very different place than than the first team. You know, 683 00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:41.519 we sit in a place that is really about player development. 684 00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:43.360 The goal of the group is to get as many 685 00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:45.840 players through that pathway as we possibly can, from the 686 00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:48.480 academy and outside the academy, and. 687 00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:49.559 Then into the first team. 688 00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.079 And I think when you look at the contributions that 689 00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:55.440 various players have made in US Open Cup playing minutes 690 00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:58.039 for the first team. You know, even this past weekend, 691 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.639 you look at a great finish from Tyler Woolf recently 692 00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:03.159 got good minutes with the twos, and you look at 693 00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:05.199 the development of some of the young players from the 694 00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:06.400 academy Dominic Chunk. 695 00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:07.920 We really really. 696 00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:10.760 Sticks in my mind there as well. I think you 697 00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:14.440 can look at the season as a real success because again, 698 00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:17.320 just like last season as well, we had a great 699 00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:22.519 record of bringing players through our academy through the college system. 700 00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:23.920 Actually, when you're. 701 00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:26.599 Back at Nick Formeno last year coming from another MLS 702 00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:29.239 club and then gaining some traction with US, and then 703 00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:31.400 the same thing happened this year with Matt Edwards coming 704 00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:35.519 from college and has now made great contributions. So if 705 00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:39.719 you ask me that question, as Steve Cook the competitor, 706 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:42.719 I'm going to say, my goodness, I'm a bit disappointed. 707 00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.159 But the reality is that if you look at the 708 00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:48.199 vision and the purpose for the twos, we've had yet 709 00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:51.159 another really good season where a lot of players have improved, 710 00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.320 a lot of players have moved through the pathway, and 711 00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:57.320 probably some of the successes they've had and the challenges 712 00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:00.880 they've had are really about preparing them for their futures 713 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:02.960 and the future for the first team, and that really 714 00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:05.480 makes us all proud, because that's what it's all about. 715 00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:08.559 Coach, I wanted to ask about the emotional development in 716 00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:12.440 these situations, because especially some of these teenagers. We were 717 00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:14.840 all seventeen at one point, and not all of us 718 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:18.480 were mentally and emotionally mature enough to handle playing a 719 00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:22.639 game professionally. What's it like trying to get them into 720 00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:26.719 a good place mentally and emotionally week after week where 721 00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:29.599 they can contribute to not let things kind of weigh 722 00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:30.119 them down. 723 00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:33.840 I think this is a really big question, and it's 724 00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:37.840 one that I think we probably is should I say, 725 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:42.920 more mature people, We probably forget how we were when 726 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:45.400 we were that age, As you alluded to, We also, 727 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:48.920 I believe, might not appreciate what it is like for 728 00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:52.039 a young person in the twenty first century, and certainly 729 00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:54.880 in the twenty twenties with social media, so everything they 730 00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:58.239 do is magnified. Everything they do from their performance as 731 00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:02.079 a scene on Platus like Why Scout and on Huddle 732 00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:05.239 and we've got people all over the world putting stats 733 00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:07.559 together for these young people. And so I think one 734 00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.840 of the difficulties these days for any young person is 735 00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:14.679 that their lives are lived out in the public eye. 736 00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:17.559 And especially as a young young player coming through the academy, 737 00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:20.239 you play with that joy, you play with that freedom, 738 00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:22.679 You have this sense of you know, it's a kid's 739 00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.719 game and I'm really lucky to be playing. And then suddenly, 740 00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:28.760 you know, around about the age of sixteen seventeen eighteen, 741 00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:31.519 it starts to take on a little bit more meaning 742 00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:34.079 in a professional sense. And then when you go through 743 00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:37.159 the ups and downs publicly, it can be quite traumatic 744 00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:39.679 for a young player. And I think one of the 745 00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:41.920 big things I think we do try to focus on 746 00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:44.239 is making sure that the players are in a good 747 00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:48.400 place from a holistic sense, you know, their lifestyle, from 748 00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:52.239 their daily habits, from not getting too high with them 749 00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:55.440 when they have good games, and certainly not battering them 750 00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:58.199 when they get too low. But they do also need 751 00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.880 to learn how to be professionals. And the reality is 752 00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:04.280 that the professional world of soccer is really, really tough 753 00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:07.760 to make a career, and it's really difficult to progress 754 00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.599 as a young player, because for every person that you 755 00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:13.320 are chasing in the first team, there is somebody chasing 756 00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:13.880 you as well. 757 00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:17.320 And I think for these young players, you know, if. 758 00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:21.400 They get so concerned with their past performance, it can 759 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.079 really be damaging for them. And instead, I think they 760 00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:26.239 need to live that moment, work as hard as they 761 00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:30.199 possibly can, every day, be themselves, really express themselves in 762 00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:32.639 a way that is uniquely them. And then we give 763 00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:35.199 them guidance both in a soccer sense and in a 764 00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:38.760 lifestyle and a personal sense. And I think in our 765 00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:44.039 club we've got some really good people. They're very hard working, 766 00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:49.599 the young men who really commit themselves. But then again 767 00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:51.679 we have to also make sure that that pathway for 768 00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:54.159 them is not too smooth. We don't want it to be, 769 00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:58.440 you know, this constant upgrading of themselves. It's got to 770 00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:01.199 be a struggle at times and create that struggle. And 771 00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:03.960 I think you're right there, Jared. Is that the mental 772 00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:05.519 side of the game. If you want to be a 773 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:08.639 top performer at the top level these days, I really 774 00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:11.039 believe the mental side of the game is probably paramount. 775 00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:13.360 And you know, they all have some ability, but can 776 00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:17.000 they handle the strains and stresses of a career in 777 00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:20.199 professional soccer, and that is something that we always have 778 00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:22.079 to continuously remind ourselves of. 779 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:26.480 And at the same time, though, you have those individuals 780 00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:28.960 who are on the other side of college, the twenty 781 00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:30.599 two to twenty three, twenty four year olds like a 782 00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:34.440 noble o'kello, like a hobby Armors, who while they are 783 00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.360 learning that next step as well, they have those added 784 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:40.920 years of experience, whether it's in university or just life, 785 00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:43.960 and so their learning is coming at a different speed, 786 00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:47.400 learning different things, where you have the sixteen seventeen, eighteen 787 00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:49.960 year olds who are also learning. So it's almost like 788 00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:53.320 two different paths that you and jose Silva Lewis Sharp 789 00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:56.159 have to negotiate as coaches in the day to day 790 00:41:56.840 --> 00:41:58.719 just with the individuals that you have on the roster. 791 00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:01.840 I think that's a good point in that in our group, 792 00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:04.920 the players come from so many different spots, right, and 793 00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:08.440 you know, it's easy to look at the young academy 794 00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:10.920 players and say, well, they're all on an upwards trajectory, 795 00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:13.400 they're all going to make it, and that is one element. 796 00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:15.800 But then you're right, is that we have these young 797 00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:16.599 men who. 798 00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:20.679 Are coming from college situations, their experience in life is greater. 799 00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:23.199 They've lived away from home, they've done their own laundry, 800 00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:26.880 they've got the groceries, They've just like you said, done 801 00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:28.760 a bit more traveling and lived on the planet a 802 00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:31.519 little bit longer. So they have that life experience and 803 00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:34.239 I think that really does stand them in good stead. However, 804 00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:36.960 from a soccer standpoint, some of those players you mentioned 805 00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:38.679 how the armis this was his first year as a 806 00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:40.599 pro at the age of twenty four, going to be 807 00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.159 twenty five relatively soon, you know. And at the same time, 808 00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:46.559 we've got Matt Edwards who's coming back in from college 809 00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:48.880 and he's, you know, a little bit younger, but he's 810 00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:51.920 also in his first days as a professional player. And 811 00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:55.480 how quickly they adapt and how quickly they at times, 812 00:42:55.480 --> 00:43:01.000 I think, can face the challenge of not necessarily being 813 00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:03.480 the best player in the team anymore and maybe not 814 00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:06.639 feeling like they're is accomplished. And why am I playing 815 00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:08.599 with these young kids all the time? I think they're 816 00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:11.760 they're their own personal challenges. And then you know, this 817 00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:15.119 year we had John Berner, who probably at thirty something, 818 00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:18.320 who's been a great mentor and leader and had a. 819 00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:19.039 Really good career. 820 00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:21.280 It's probably coming towards the end of that phase of 821 00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:24.119 his life, and so he's now looking at something else 822 00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:26.639 as well. And I think that, you know, Kareem Tommi 823 00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:28.920 might stand out in that regard as well. And so 824 00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:31.840 I think we've got this group of players that are 825 00:43:31.880 --> 00:43:34.800 all coming from different points of view, And you're right, 826 00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:37.039 is that my responsibility. 827 00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:38.039 Jose lewis sharp, is to. 828 00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:41.599 Connect with every player, develop those relationships so that we 829 00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:44.559 can do what is best for the player and in 830 00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:48.039 turn therefore doing what's best for Atlanta United, given where 831 00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:50.159 the players are at that stage of their careers. And 832 00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:53.840 and it's it's really enthralling. It's invigorating every day to 833 00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:56.960 wake up and not quite know what's coming. There are times, 834 00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:58.880 like I said to you, when it gets a little. 835 00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:01.159 Frustrated. 836 00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:04.880 But that's not to say that's not a beautiful thing, 837 00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:08.599 because because helping these young men with their lives and 838 00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:11.599 their soccer careers is really what we're all here for. 839 00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:14.559 The coach he talked about John for a second. I 840 00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:16.159 know we talked about it. We talked to him early 841 00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:17.719 in the season and talked about him before he got 842 00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:21.480 banged up. How tough is that to find those kind 843 00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:25.679 of veterans who you can bring in and comfortably tell 844 00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:28.599 them I want to give you minutes, but you might 845 00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:30.320 get passed by, and I need you to be a 846 00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:32.880 mentor and have that right mentality because we've had that 847 00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:35.360 here at the club before with Jack Metcalf when he 848 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:37.440 was still playing. Tyler Ruthven who's with the club now, 849 00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:39.280 was in that role in one of the early years. 850 00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:42.039 How is it finding those guys who have the right 851 00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:45.719 mentality that they can kind of surrender minutes as the 852 00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:49.480 season goes along, but translate into that mentor role where 853 00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:50.960 they can still be a help for the kids. 854 00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:53.920 Yeah, the answer is it's really hard because because they 855 00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:56.920 have to be very good performers and they have to 856 00:44:56.960 --> 00:45:00.199 also have the mentality that that means their perform moment 857 00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.239 at times has to take a back seat to some 858 00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:05.320 of the younger, more developmental players. And I think as 859 00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:07.880 they're all competitors, otherwise they wouldn't be at the level 860 00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:11.800 they're competing at. But the reality is, I can only 861 00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:14.320 imagine that for many players that is one of the 862 00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:16.880 hardest transitions they're going to have to make in their 863 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:19.840 time where their career takes a little bit of a 864 00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:23.400 back seat to some of the other players lives and careers, 865 00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:26.280 and we've been really fortunate with some leaders in the 866 00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:29.440 group this year who were slightly older, slightly more mature, 867 00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:32.119 but they came to training every single day and help. 868 00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:37.239 And that switch in a player's mentality should sound easy, 869 00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:39.639 but you know, when you want to play and you 870 00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:42.599 have your own family to feed as well in your 871 00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:44.719 own career to look at, there are going to be 872 00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:47.320 difficult days with that, and I think that to find 873 00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:49.880 them is one thing. To have them then stay on 874 00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:53.599 track and understand what the club's vision is and what 875 00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:57.239 the club's philosophy is with that is at times a challenge, 876 00:45:57.280 --> 00:45:59.840 and we've been really fortunate with the kids here. And 877 00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:04.840 I probably pride myself on being pretty honest with the players, 878 00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:05.719 and at times that. 879 00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:08.360 Might be maybe a bit too blunt. 880 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:11.760 Probably my greatest strength is my greatest weakness, and that 881 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:18.320 directness and that honesty sometimes might sting in the initial stages. 882 00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:21.039 But I've always been honest with the players about their 883 00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:24.239 role and where they stand and what the future holds 884 00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:27.519 for them. And I always remind the group of the 885 00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:30.519 purpose of the team. So you mentioned someone like John Bernard. 886 00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.400 He's been nothing short of the consumer professional and I 887 00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.079 know that whatever he does in his life now or 888 00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:39.000 in twenty thirty years time, he's going to be a 889 00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:39.960 great success. 890 00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:42.599 And Landy nighted two head coach Steve Cook dropping by 891 00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:44.360 here on the Morning Show to break down what happened 892 00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.960 this past season, an MLS next pro that Landy united too, 893 00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:49.320 and the philosophy up there at the Children's Healthcare of 894 00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:53.639 Atlanta training grand You mentioned about being blunt and honest 895 00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:58.159 when it comes to player assessment. When it comes to 896 00:46:58.280 --> 00:47:02.440 delivering that message, I would imagine that it has to 897 00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:07.199 be delivered differently to each individual player, because I don't 898 00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.159 think you can sit there and just make a blanket approach, 899 00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:13.440 to sit there and say, well, player X, you need 900 00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:15.440 to work on this, this, this, this and this and 901 00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:17.440 have that work for the next guy down the line. 902 00:47:17.639 --> 00:47:18.239 How much of a. 903 00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:22.239 Challenge is that for you to be honest but cater 904 00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:25.639 the message to each individual player, knowing that they're coming 905 00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:27.559 at it from a different perspective each time. 906 00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:31.800 I think the basis of that comes from developing those 907 00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:36.920 relationships with people, not the player, but the person, understanding 908 00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:40.360 what they're about off the field, understanding what they want 909 00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:42.320 from their careers and where they're trying to get to 910 00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:44.239 and what they want to achieve, and not only a 911 00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:46.239 short term, but in the long term. We've got a 912 00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:48.559 couple of guys who got married this season, for example, 913 00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:53.199 so their lives during the season took on a different turn, right, 914 00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:56.719 and so we have to speak to them as fully 915 00:47:56.719 --> 00:48:01.280 grown men who are now responsible for an entire family 916 00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:03.559 and group of people, you know, and that is very 917 00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:05.800 different than the sixteen year old who's trying to come through. 918 00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:07.719 We probably a little bit. 919 00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:11.599 More, We probably push the young ones a little bit 920 00:48:11.639 --> 00:48:13.440 more because I think it's their first taste. 921 00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:15.239 But it really is like you said. 922 00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:19.039 That, they it's so individual and so based on their 923 00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:21.599 personalities and obviously ourselves. 924 00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:23.440 And again I am honest with them. 925 00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:27.679 I tell them where I think they are relatively often 926 00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:29.639 so that that by the end of the season it's 927 00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:31.400 not the first time they've heard it, or it's not 928 00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:34.079 a shock to the system or anything like that. But 929 00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:38.719 I think in our role, our only role really is 930 00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:41.559 to help these people with their careers and their lives. 931 00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:44.119 And I think one of the big things that when 932 00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:46.840 I say that honesty and being different for every person 933 00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:50.400 is really because we love them, we care for them, 934 00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:53.199 We want them as people to be successful, and that 935 00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:56.360 might mean in a different place than Atlanta United, because 936 00:48:56.360 --> 00:48:58.840 that's what's best for them or what's best for Atlanta United. 937 00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:01.360 And those decisions not made in isolation. 938 00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:05.119 They're not made, you know, based on only performance in 939 00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:07.199 the last month of the season, for example, or whether 940 00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:10.039 we made the playoffs. They're based on what the needs 941 00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:12.199 are for the first team, what do we have coming 942 00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:14.800 through the academy behind this group of players, and then 943 00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:17.679 more importantly, what the philosophy is and the succession planning 944 00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:20.039 is for the first team. And as you know, there's 945 00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:22.239 going to be some change with the first team and 946 00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:24.519 a new GM rolling in here, there might be a 947 00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:28.559 different philosophy. And I think our role is to constantly 948 00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:31.079 put the players at the forefront of our mentality so 949 00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:34.159 that whatever the philosophy is going to be from the club, 950 00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:36.840 we can help the players with their lives, their careers 951 00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:40.000 in Atlanta United and then further than that outside of 952 00:49:40.039 --> 00:49:43.000 Atlanta United when they finished playing for US. 953 00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:47.159 You talk about the changes potentially in philosophy. I wanted 954 00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:48.800 to ask you because I know every coach has their 955 00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:51.880 game model to head their philosophy, How tricky is it 956 00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:54.880 for you sometimes when I know we've talked about this, 957 00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:59.119 pop out this after games where guys might be training 958 00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:01.280 with the first team, they might be away at tournaments 959 00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:04.639 or with youth national team setups. How tricky is it 960 00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:07.320 for you to week to week get things set up, 961 00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:10.000 knowing you might have inconsistent training or might have different 962 00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:12.800 groups of guys getting the team set up with the 963 00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:15.639 right people on the right skill sets to succeed week 964 00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:16.440 in and week out. 965 00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:22.119 I think if you ask all throughout the world, people 966 00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:25.719 who coach reserve teams that are sitting right underneath the 967 00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:29.960 first team and the last stage of the developmental program 968 00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:32.800 going into the first team, I think they're all going 969 00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:36.079 to give you similar frustrations that you know, at times 970 00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:37.880 we don't get to train the group. At times we 971 00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.119 get players dropping in from the first team. At times 972 00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:42.119 we get told this player needs to play this many 973 00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:43.159 minutes from the academy. 974 00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:44.800 And I think. 975 00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:48.760 This is the beautiful part of what we do for 976 00:50:48.840 --> 00:50:50.960 a living, is this is the best part of it, 977 00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:54.599 putting that jigsaw piece together and making that puzzle fit 978 00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:55.639 together and work. 979 00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:59.039 And I think it's very simple for. 980 00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:01.920 Me, is that that is the role of the head 981 00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:03.719 coach of this group, and it is the role of 982 00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:06.199 the coaching staff of this group and everybody involved. 983 00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:08.719 If that's not what you enjoy, if that's not what 984 00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:09.360 you like. 985 00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:12.360 To do with your career, because maybe you're living vicariously 986 00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:14.920 through the players, or you see this group as a 987 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:18.440 vehicle to raise your own profile and suddenly become the 988 00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:21.519 head coach of Real Madrid, well, I don't think this 989 00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:23.280 is the role for you. I think this is a 990 00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:26.440 role for someone who wants to help young people, wants 991 00:51:26.440 --> 00:51:29.239 to help coaches as well. From my standpoint, I've been 992 00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:31.039 around the game of a long time now, and part 993 00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:33.639 of my joy is to really help young people with 994 00:51:33.719 --> 00:51:37.519 their coaching careers or support staff careers or playing careers, 995 00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:42.440 and I think it's critical that I always keep that perspective, 996 00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:44.719 and therefore all of the staff members can keep it 997 00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:45.960 in their proper perspective. 998 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:47.400 If we're looking just to win. 999 00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:51.480 Games, we're gonna at times find it really really frustrating. 1000 00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:53.920 But again, if you look across the country at reserve 1001 00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:56.599 team coaches, we all share the same. 1002 00:51:57.079 --> 00:51:59.440 At times frustrations. I've worked. 1003 00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:02.440 This is my sixth professional club I've worked in and 1004 00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:05.480 all of them have slightly different tweaks on a methodology 1005 00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:08.559 or a style of play, and our role is to 1006 00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:10.840 fit in with what comes along. And if the next 1007 00:52:11.800 --> 00:52:14.920 GM or head coach comes in and says, this is 1008 00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:17.320 what we need you to do now, then we nod 1009 00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:18.920 our heads and we get on with it, and we 1010 00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:23.239 make the very very best scenario of that. And I've 1011 00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:26.000 been fortunate to work with some really really top level 1012 00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:28.880 people in my time. I've worked with great players, great coaches, 1013 00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:31.000 and really good people across the board. 1014 00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:32.559 Everyone has good ideas. 1015 00:52:32.599 --> 00:52:36.840 Nobody owns the best way of soccer, nobody owns the 1016 00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:39.679 best way of developing players or playing, and I think 1017 00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:43.000 our role is to really embrace it and help the 1018 00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:46.320 players understand that if they're going to progress with their careers, 1019 00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:49.519 they're going to encounter many, many people with many opinions 1020 00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:52.079 and many different ways of doing things, and their job 1021 00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:54.360 is to adjust and be the best version of themselves 1022 00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:57.280 within that framework that the coaching staff and the club 1023 00:52:57.320 --> 00:52:57.760 give them. 1024 00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:00.920 Last question for you, Steven, thanks for and it's always 1025 00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:03.360 great to have you here so we can pick your brain. 1026 00:53:03.440 --> 00:53:06.239 Comes from one of our viewers this morning. Question is 1027 00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:10.360 how difficult is it for you to change a player's position? 1028 00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:13.079 Sit there and you look at somebody like an Ephran Morales, 1029 00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:16.000 who was thought of, Okay, I don't think you're better 1030 00:53:16.079 --> 00:53:18.000 up top. We think you're better as a center back. 1031 00:53:18.079 --> 00:53:20.639 How difficult is it to change a player's position, to 1032 00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:22.719 have them sit there and say, okay, we think you 1033 00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:26.400 would be better full time here as opposed to where 1034 00:53:26.440 --> 00:53:27.360 you've been in the past. 1035 00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:30.440 That's a great question. 1036 00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:34.920 It's not easy, you know. I'm not going to sit 1037 00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:37.320 here and say, wow, it's so easy. We think is 1038 00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:38.880 a right back, so we're going to stick him over 1039 00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:42.079 there and it's smooth. I think all of the players 1040 00:53:42.119 --> 00:53:45.079 that are with us are with us because we see 1041 00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:48.679 something in them as players, regardless of position. Right, you know, 1042 00:53:48.719 --> 00:53:50.599 you've got to be able to do certain things well 1043 00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:53.320 to even become a good academy player, never mind a 1044 00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:55.639 professional player. So you've got to be able to receive 1045 00:53:55.679 --> 00:53:57.119 and pass the ball. You've got to be able to 1046 00:53:57.159 --> 00:53:59.000 defend one v one a little bit. You've got to 1047 00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:01.000 be able to understand the game to some degree to 1048 00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:05.119 just get to this point. However, one of our key 1049 00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:08.920 roles is to see players look at their best attributes 1050 00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:12.119 look at their strengths and at times super strengths, and 1051 00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:15.400 then put them in a position that they are able 1052 00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:17.760 to succeed in. Put them in a position that they're 1053 00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:20.440 able to use their strength as often as they possibly 1054 00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:23.000 can and really excel in the game, because that is 1055 00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:25.440 our role to help them with their lives. At times 1056 00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:28.800 that means moving positions, and at times that means uncomfortable 1057 00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:31.920 conversations about, hey, we're going to put you at center 1058 00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:32.440 back today. 1059 00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:35.880 Give it a go, and you see the fear. 1060 00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:38.559 And the glazed look over their eyes because it's almost 1061 00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:41.480 like a different game entirely, and then not being too 1062 00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:45.239 harsh with them during that learning process and that adapting process, 1063 00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:48.039 making sure that they're supported and when they make mistakes, 1064 00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:50.960 keep playing them and keep pushing them on. And then 1065 00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:53.519 ultimately it's up to the player. You know, if the 1066 00:54:53.559 --> 00:54:56.000 player plays well, regardless of position. 1067 00:54:56.159 --> 00:54:57.239 They will find a home. 1068 00:54:57.320 --> 00:54:59.119 You know, again, if we play four at the back 1069 00:54:59.199 --> 00:55:01.400 or three at the back, five at the back, you know, 1070 00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:04.599 can you fit into a system because you're a good player, 1071 00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:08.000 And that is our huge responsibility. And in answer to 1072 00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:10.559 the question, it's not an easy task to move positions 1073 00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:13.119 for a player, certainly it isn't easy for the player. 1074 00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:16.559 For me, it is about more looking at. 1075 00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:19.280 The player, seeing their best attributes and helping that player 1076 00:55:19.360 --> 00:55:21.360 use them as often as they possibly can, not only 1077 00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:23.440 to help themselves but to help the team as well. 1078 00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:26.159 Steve, as always, you know you've got an open door 1079 00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:28.840 policy here on the Morning show and with everything that 1080 00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:30.800 we do here at SDH. You want to get something 1081 00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:33.079 off your chest, you want you want to sit there 1082 00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:35.480 and say, well, I've got something I need to talk about. 1083 00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:37.119 You know, you've got an open door, my friend. It's 1084 00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:37.599 great to see you. 1085 00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:40.000 I do appreciate and thanks for everything you do for 1086 00:55:40.079 --> 00:55:43.079 us as well. It really is very much appreciated by everybody. 1087 00:55:43.199 --> 00:55:44.960 All right, go get your coffee. We'll catch up soon, 1088 00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:45.400 my friend. 1089 00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:45.920 Thank you. 1090 00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:48.719 All right. Steve Cook, head coach of it Landey knighted too. 1091 00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:51.760 And it's always fun to catch up with Steve because 1092 00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:56.800 of his knowledge base and his understanding of what it 1093 00:55:57.000 --> 00:55:59.159 is with that Landy United and Landy United too and 1094 00:55:59.280 --> 00:56:01.440 ML's next pro and all these kinds of things. But no, 1095 00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:04.800 it's always great to catch up with Steve and find 1096 00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:07.000 out what's going on. And I wanted to get that 1097 00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:10.960 recap and it kind of turned out some somewhat karmick 1098 00:56:11.079 --> 00:56:15.039 because of today being your pick a Dance Partner in 1099 00:56:15.159 --> 00:56:17.880 MLS Next Pro for the playoffs two o'clock, three o'clock 1100 00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:21.199 MLS Next Pro on their social media's and I think 1101 00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:23.639 it's on their YouTube. I think Max Bretos is hosting 1102 00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:26.239 both of those hours. So we'll see, we'll see how 1103 00:56:26.239 --> 00:56:28.880 Pick a Dance Partner goes when it comes to MLS 1104 00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:34.280 Next Pro and with what's on the docket for them, 1105 00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.320 and obviously we'll have SDH on MLS Next Pro when 1106 00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:39.360 those matchups come out, we'll talk about it. We'll get 1107 00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:43.960 that stuff all laid out for you, so to let 1108 00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:47.960 everybody know what it's like right now in MLS Next Pro. 1109 00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:53.440 In the East, Cincinnati's your number one overall seed. Philadelphia 1110 00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:56.920 is the two Messy and Friends to the Baby Heron's 1111 00:56:56.920 --> 00:57:01.320 are the three Fire too, are the four Orlando City 1112 00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:04.000 b or the five ny CFC two. 1113 00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:06.760 In the three way dance. 1114 00:57:08.239 --> 00:57:11.599 Of twenty eight matches played forty five points, eleven wins 1115 00:57:11.920 --> 00:57:18.320 going to goal difference. Four teams had forty five points. 1116 00:57:19.159 --> 00:57:22.639 Three of them had eleven wins. Chattanooga only having nine 1117 00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:25.960 was the reason they didn't make the postseason to start, 1118 00:57:26.039 --> 00:57:28.440 so they were out on the first tiebreaker number of wins. 1119 00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:33.039 NYCFC two, Crew two Crown Legacy each had eleven wins. 1120 00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:36.079 Then you get to goal difference. 1121 00:57:36.679 --> 00:57:39.840 Ny CFC two is a plus twelve, Crew two was 1122 00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:43.559 a plus six, Crown Legacy a plus five, and it 1123 00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:48.440 was also in receding order the number of goals scored, 1124 00:57:48.599 --> 00:57:51.320 so that was how you ended up the six, the seven, 1125 00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:55.679 and the eight all forty five points. So right now 1126 00:57:55.760 --> 00:58:02.760 Cincinnati gets to pick Orland n y CFC two, Columbus, 1127 00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:07.199 Crew two, Crown Legacy, good luck, good luck. 1128 00:58:08.480 --> 00:58:10.239 But that's at two o'clock this afternoon. 1129 00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:12.400 We get to see what to pick a dance partner 1130 00:58:12.440 --> 00:58:15.679 is like in the MLS next Pro playoffs. I don't 1131 00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:18.320 know if I want to touch Crown Legacy. We've we've 1132 00:58:18.320 --> 00:58:21.039 seen Crown Legacy this season. We know what they're all about. 1133 00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:25.000 Crew two. It's like staring at a mirror. Do you 1134 00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:27.840 want to play Columbus? I'm not so sure. N y 1135 00:58:27.920 --> 00:58:32.840 CFC two, I don't know. Maybe I want to play Orlando. 1136 00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:37.480 Orlando can be had. We've heard Orlando City B. We've 1137 00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:40.840 had those matches here on the Network this year as well. 1138 00:58:40.880 --> 00:58:43.239 But I think that OCB might be the might be 1139 00:58:43.320 --> 00:58:47.320 the choice for Cincinnati in round in round one, then 1140 00:58:47.639 --> 00:58:50.800 Union two would get the next selection. My guess is 1141 00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:53.119 they would probably end up picking n Y CFC two, 1142 00:58:53.239 --> 00:58:56.480 and then you have the Baby Herons picking something like 1143 00:58:56.599 --> 00:58:59.679 Crew two or Crown Legacy. Good luck, good luck in 1144 00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:02.719 the Eastern Conference. That's all I gotta say. That's going 1145 00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:04.760 to be a pay in the butt two o'clock must 1146 00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:08.079 see separate viewing experience if you can set it up 1147 00:59:08.320 --> 00:59:11.400 and watch it that way. But to wrap up the 1148 00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:14.440 rest of the Eastern Conference, Carolina Corp. Had a great 1149 00:59:14.519 --> 00:59:17.840 run after a horrendous start. We probably should catch up 1150 00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:20.440 with Roy Laster and find out what's up with Core 1151 00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:23.679 and get an end of the season. Look at their 1152 00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:27.119 season one forty three points for them. Red Bulls two 1153 00:59:27.119 --> 00:59:30.119 finished with forty. It was a Toronto FC two at 1154 00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:32.360 thirty seven. Then you had Atlanta United too at thirty two, 1155 00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:35.880 Huntsville City Football Club at twenty nine, and New England 1156 00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:37.519 at twenty two. We probably should catch up with our 1157 00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:40.800 friends in Huntsville City as well. Western Conference, it's North 1158 00:59:40.840 --> 00:59:45.320 Texas and everybody else North Texas and the number that 1159 00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:47.320 they put up on decision Day. 1160 00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:48.760 We'll get into that in a second. 1161 00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:54.960 North Texas number one seed division title home field all 1162 00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:58.079 the way through up North Texas six points clear of 1163 00:59:58.119 --> 00:59:59.239 Saint Louis City two. 1164 00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:00.239 Sorry. St. 1165 01:00:00.280 --> 01:00:04.079 Louis City SC two, the town won the other division 1166 01:00:04.119 --> 01:00:07.480 at fifty one points. Then you have Tacoma Defiance at 1167 01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:10.320 forty six, LAFC two at forty five, Intura County at 1168 01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:13.960 forty three, white Caps two at forty and a Dynamodos 1169 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:17.360 Houston at thirty nine. Raal Monarchs had one less win 1170 01:00:18.159 --> 01:00:20.719 at thirty nine points, and that was why they're out 1171 01:00:20.719 --> 01:00:23.760 of the playoff picture. Sporting Kansas City two at thirty eight, 1172 01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:27.400 Timbers two at thirty eight, two less wins, Austin FC two, 1173 01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:30.519 and we still haven't talked about Josh Wolf yet, Austin 1174 01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:33.880 FC two at thirty six points, Loans two at thirty two, 1175 01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:37.599 and Colorado Rapids two at twenty three. So I'm guessing 1176 01:00:37.639 --> 01:00:40.800 this one might be something close to chalk. I would say, 1177 01:00:40.800 --> 01:00:44.960 if I'm North Texas, I'm probably picking Houston. If I'm 1178 01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:47.840 Saint Louis, I'm probably picking Vancouver. 1179 01:00:48.880 --> 01:00:50.159 The town might be pay. 1180 01:00:50.199 --> 01:00:53.280 I mean, this probably would go Chalk the town probably 1181 01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:56.519 picking Ventura County, and then Tacoma stuck with LAFC two. 1182 01:00:56.559 --> 01:00:58.360 So I would think that at three o'clock when they 1183 01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:00.840 make these selections in the Western Conference, it's probably Chalk. 1184 01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:03.880 The Eastern Conference is the one that's going to be 1185 01:01:03.960 --> 01:01:06.079 really interesting at two o'clock this afternoon, Like I said, 1186 01:01:06.119 --> 01:01:08.920 we'll talk about that tomorrow. So great to catch up 1187 01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:11.400 with Steve Cook and like, and I told Steve it's like, look, yeah, 1188 01:01:11.440 --> 01:01:13.280 as you heard, he's got an open door policy. 1189 01:01:14.519 --> 01:01:15.000 Uh. 1190 01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:19.239 Really looking forward to seeing how that continues to grow 1191 01:01:19.280 --> 01:01:21.320 and evolve. And if Steve, like I said, Steve's got 1192 01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:22.519 an open door, he wants to come in and talk 1193 01:01:22.519 --> 01:01:24.360 about things. He didn't come in and talk about anything 1194 01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:29.159 you want. So, uh, that's what It's great to catch 1195 01:01:29.239 --> 01:01:30.960 up with him and find out about Atlanta nighted two 1196 01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:32.920 and d Graham, thanks for the question you got you 1197 01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:35.760 got Steve on that one. That was a good uh okay, 1198 01:01:36.320 --> 01:01:41.119 So MLS. Actually I've what North Texas beat Loons two 1199 01:01:41.119 --> 01:01:42.719 by the way eight to at Chalk Taw That was 1200 01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:44.679 what I was wanting to get at on decision today. 1201 01:01:44.679 --> 01:01:49.199 Saint Louis City SE two beat Tacomba five mil Sporting 1202 01:01:49.239 --> 01:01:51.400 Kansas City two in LAFC two was four to three. 1203 01:01:51.719 --> 01:01:54.440 North Texas put eight on the board against Loons two 1204 01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:57.679 at chalk Taw and the town beat Austin for to three. 1205 01:01:57.760 --> 01:02:00.880 So you had your your batch of crazy the last 1206 01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:03.000 day of the regular season. But yeah, just to look 1207 01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:06.159 at what happened with North Texas and it was eight 1208 01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:11.360 one at one point, I mean, that's just nuts, absolutely crazy. 1209 01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:15.519 The stats in that one, by the way, eight goals 1210 01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:20.079 on eighteen shots, eleven shots on goal, a lot of passes, 1211 01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:22.880 six hundred total passes in the day. But yeah, so 1212 01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:25.400 eight goals on the board for North Texas last day 1213 01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:31.239 of the regular season. MLS announced yesterday or it was 1214 01:02:31.320 --> 01:02:34.360 late Sunday night that Josh Wolf was out at Austin. 1215 01:02:35.039 --> 01:02:38.079 You kind of had the feeling front when Rodolfo Borel 1216 01:02:38.280 --> 01:02:42.199 was named the new sporting director when that happened earlier 1217 01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:46.199 in the season that he was probably on you know, 1218 01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:49.280 it was definitely on the Missouri plan. You got to 1219 01:02:49.320 --> 01:02:52.119 show me you didn't make the playoffs and so then 1220 01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:54.239 you're out. But the one question I always have in 1221 01:02:54.280 --> 01:02:56.480 these situations, and I think it was a universe. It's 1222 01:02:56.519 --> 01:03:02.440 a universal question, is that why do it with one 1223 01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:05.559 game to go in the regular season? And like I 1224 01:03:05.599 --> 01:03:11.159 said that, I might be naive, but I would like 1225 01:03:11.280 --> 01:03:16.679 to ask in general, why it is. 1226 01:03:18.679 --> 01:03:23.320 That you do something with a game to go. 1227 01:03:25.199 --> 01:03:29.360 I'm just asking if this is your if this was 1228 01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:32.920 your plan, when did you come up with your plan. 1229 01:03:34.599 --> 01:03:37.360 When did you finally decide, if you were Rodolfo but 1230 01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:41.599 Al that you were going to dismiss Josh Wolf? And 1231 01:03:41.679 --> 01:03:47.519 does one game really make a difference? Do something out 1232 01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:51.880 there where it would be like, okay, I would say, 1233 01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:54.079 if you want to present it this way, I think 1234 01:03:54.159 --> 01:03:58.880 I could maybe digest it a little differently. Announce that 1235 01:03:59.000 --> 01:04:01.840 Josh Wolf's cod tract is not going to be renewed 1236 01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:04.679 at the end of the season, if he's at the 1237 01:04:04.760 --> 01:04:07.559 end of a deal, or that you're going to part 1238 01:04:07.599 --> 01:04:12.719 ways with Josh at the end of the season. You 1239 01:04:12.760 --> 01:04:14.920 do it with a game to go. He gets his 1240 01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:19.039 Swan song, he gets his last day. Then decision day 1241 01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:20.199 is what decision day is. 1242 01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:20.800 He gets his. 1243 01:04:20.840 --> 01:04:23.679 Goodbye, you get it on tape, you go, and instead 1244 01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:26.440 you decide on a Sunday night in a news dump 1245 01:04:26.480 --> 01:04:31.559 situation that you're going to not that Josh Wolf and 1246 01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:35.519 Austin are parting ways. He said, I'm just trying to 1247 01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:39.440 figure out and I may not know anything from Adam's 1248 01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:43.840 house Cat, but I'm just still trying to figure out 1249 01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:48.280 the timing of it and the implementation of it. If 1250 01:04:48.320 --> 01:04:51.519 you knew at X point that was a little further 1251 01:04:51.599 --> 01:04:53.280 back in the schedule that you weren't going to renew 1252 01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:56.559 his contract or that you were gonna part ways with them, 1253 01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:58.199 go ahead and part ways. If it was like six 1254 01:04:58.239 --> 01:05:00.239 matches to go, eight matches to go, whatever, if you 1255 01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:02.840 if you drew impatient with it, you're done, then do 1256 01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:05.880 it back then. But with a match to go in 1257 01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:09.400 the regular season after the loss to l a FC, 1258 01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:15.079 and what we talked about with the the Ricky Pooge incident, 1259 01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:17.920 I mean was that was if that was the straw, 1260 01:05:17.960 --> 01:05:26.000 then fine, but with a match to go, it's just odd. Yeah, 1261 01:05:26.119 --> 01:05:28.239 and D and and D Graham, I'm. 1262 01:05:28.400 --> 01:05:32.159 With you, yeah that I think that. But Ale put that. 1263 01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:38.360 In place, and then you're like, yeah, yeah, okay, so 1264 01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:40.360 if you didn't get the playoffs, you get to that point, 1265 01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:42.880 and I'm with you, I think that. When but Ail 1266 01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:47.119 came in, his idea was Okay, we're making the playoffs. 1267 01:05:47.159 --> 01:05:47.920 This is your year. 1268 01:05:48.000 --> 01:05:49.960 You got to show me, and if it's not happening, 1269 01:05:50.119 --> 01:05:54.920 it's not happening. So but to my to my point, 1270 01:05:55.119 --> 01:05:58.480 if you're not making the playoffs, what difference does one 1271 01:05:58.559 --> 01:06:01.559 match make? If you're not making in the playoffs, you're 1272 01:06:01.599 --> 01:06:03.639 coming up on the last game of the regular season. 1273 01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:07.280 I mean, it's it's just odd. I mean, let him 1274 01:06:07.280 --> 01:06:09.440 coach it out. It's one game. You're still not making 1275 01:06:09.440 --> 01:06:12.440 the playoffs either way. Let him have his swan song. Okay, 1276 01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:15.000 I mean, and like I said, I don't know, there's 1277 01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:16.480 a there's a T shirt and I think I'm getting 1278 01:06:16.480 --> 01:06:19.119 it delivered to the house and. 1279 01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:21.639 It says, uh, there's nothing wrong with being nice. 1280 01:06:23.000 --> 01:06:26.599 You're in a situation that was untenable at that point, 1281 01:06:27.159 --> 01:06:29.719 and I don't know, maybe I'm becoming an old softy. 1282 01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:32.159 But if you're not making the playoffs, and you know 1283 01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:35.880 what your decision is going to be, does this last 1284 01:06:35.920 --> 01:06:39.519 game of the schedule, when nothing's gonna change short of points, 1285 01:06:40.320 --> 01:06:42.840 if you either draw or win, is it gonna make 1286 01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:44.480 that much of a difference If he hangs on for 1287 01:06:44.519 --> 01:06:47.599 that one more match, and now I've got a double 1288 01:06:47.679 --> 01:06:53.239 check and see because Curiosity and the Adam and Adams. 1289 01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:56.559 House cat once again. So uh, all. 1290 01:06:56.559 --> 01:07:02.440 Right, So where on decision day is the last match 1291 01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:09.679 for Austin. It's at home, okay, so see see now, 1292 01:07:09.800 --> 01:07:13.159 all right, Austin's got one match left. I know you're 1293 01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:15.519 not making the playoffs. You make the decision to part ways. 1294 01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:20.280 Why not let Josh Wolf have his last home match 1295 01:07:20.760 --> 01:07:23.320 and get to do his lap and his wave with 1296 01:07:23.400 --> 01:07:27.559 the players. Like I said, I mean, I get, but 1297 01:07:27.719 --> 01:07:30.440 Ale's ultimatum and we know what we know what Traditionally 1298 01:07:30.599 --> 01:07:34.840 in whatever sport, that you end up with an individual 1299 01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:38.599 who's coming in, who's the new whatever, the ultimatum is there. 1300 01:07:39.840 --> 01:07:42.320 You're more comfortable bringing in your guys, and you know, 1301 01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:45.639 having your philosophy implemented by your guys. Josh Wolf was 1302 01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:47.000 not Rudolpho, but Ale's guy. 1303 01:07:47.400 --> 01:07:48.000 I get that. 1304 01:07:49.360 --> 01:07:52.400 But now, Josh Wolf, knowing you wasn't making the playoffs, 1305 01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:56.400 you dismiss him with one match to go. Nothing's gonna change. 1306 01:07:58.199 --> 01:07:59.920 Let him have the last match, Let him have his 1307 01:08:00.159 --> 01:08:03.599 lap at Q two. Because the last home match is 1308 01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:07.639 Colorado Rapids at Austin nine o'clock next Sunday. Not this Sunday, 1309 01:08:07.639 --> 01:08:13.679 but next nine o'clock start Eastern Time, and now Josh 1310 01:08:13.719 --> 01:08:16.359 Wolf has been shown the door before. In the bye 1311 01:08:16.439 --> 01:08:19.000 week leading up to the last match of the regular season, 1312 01:08:19.039 --> 01:08:20.840 he's got to clean out his office. And the last 1313 01:08:20.920 --> 01:08:23.760 match of the regular season for Austin is a home game. So, 1314 01:08:23.800 --> 01:08:28.079 like I said, I might be an old softy, but 1315 01:08:28.439 --> 01:08:34.359 I let him, let him finish, let him finish. Nicks 1316 01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:37.600 firing with one match left as the first and only 1317 01:08:37.640 --> 01:08:43.840 coach you've ever had is the height of petty. I feels, 1318 01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:45.600 like I said, it just it rubs me the wrong 1319 01:08:45.720 --> 01:08:50.439 way that you do something like that. I know that 1320 01:08:50.479 --> 01:08:53.760 it's cutthroat. I know that you have an expected if 1321 01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:57.199 you're RODOLPHO. Berdel, I know that the buck stops here 1322 01:08:57.279 --> 01:08:59.840 and it stops with me, and I have an expectation level. 1323 01:09:00.039 --> 01:09:07.079 Yeah, yeah, no, duh, I get it. But the notion that. 1324 01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:20.800 You want to do that with a match to go, yeah, 1325 01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:24.399 that's just frustrating. He doesn't, he doesn't. He doesn't get 1326 01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:26.920 his he doesn't get his way, he doesn't get his lap. 1327 01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:30.760 I mean, honestly, that's what I would have done when 1328 01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:32.600 I when I was looking at the schedule, finding that 1329 01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:35.399 the last match of the season where nothing changes except 1330 01:09:35.439 --> 01:09:39.880 maybe positioning in the draft where you don't let him 1331 01:09:39.920 --> 01:09:46.520 have his last match at home to say goodbye? Are 1332 01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:47.479 you that mad? 1333 01:09:49.960 --> 01:09:50.840 He said? Just asking? 1334 01:09:51.520 --> 01:09:53.439 He said, I'm like I said, I might be turning 1335 01:09:53.439 --> 01:09:59.560 into an old softy and who knows, but we'll see. 1336 01:10:00.399 --> 01:10:08.880 But you know, like I said, I'm just asking, uh, 1337 01:10:09.279 --> 01:10:11.800 all right, something to keep an eye on this morning. 1338 01:10:11.960 --> 01:10:15.000 Then maybe it'll happen after we're off the air. 1339 01:10:15.920 --> 01:10:23.000 Chicago Fire on their two and eighty character app quote, 1340 01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:26.479 You're gonna want to turn on your notifications this morning. 1341 01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:32.880 The path to tomorrow starts today, So I'm guessing that 1342 01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:36.159 that means that Frank Klopus is no longer going to 1343 01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:45.319 be the uh head coach for Chicago Fire. And my 1344 01:10:45.439 --> 01:10:49.079 guess is is that Joe Mannsweto is bringing in somebody 1345 01:10:49.119 --> 01:10:51.159 that we all know to be the new head coach 1346 01:10:51.159 --> 01:10:53.479 of the Chicago Fire. So set your notifications for the 1347 01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:57.479 Chicago Fire this morning and we'll see what's going on there. 1348 01:10:57.520 --> 01:11:00.680 Also USL League one news that came out top of 1349 01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:04.640 the hour. USL League one is adding a franchise in 1350 01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:08.399 Corpus Christi, Texas. They're going to compete in the twenty 1351 01:11:08.399 --> 01:11:11.600 eight million dollar Corpus Christie Sports Complex currently under construction. 1352 01:11:11.640 --> 01:11:13.560 We talked about Corpus Christi in the past, and now 1353 01:11:13.560 --> 01:11:14.960 this means that we've really got to get them to 1354 01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:16.479 do a one v one or have them on the show. 1355 01:11:17.720 --> 01:11:23.640 Five thousand seat modular multi sports stadium. Kingslea Conquo is 1356 01:11:23.680 --> 01:11:26.840 the leader of Corpus Christi Professional Soccer, becoming the city's 1357 01:11:27.000 --> 01:11:30.880 only independent professional sports organization, first pro soccer team in 1358 01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:35.600 the Coastal Bend region. And so there's a quote from 1359 01:11:35.600 --> 01:11:39.680 Oconquo Investment Group led by Next Sports and Oconquo developing 1360 01:11:39.680 --> 01:11:42.560 the forty six acre Corpus Christie Sports Complex, which began 1361 01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:45.520 construction in December of twenty three, expected to be completed 1362 01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:48.760 in twenty five, received a grant under a five year 1363 01:11:48.800 --> 01:11:51.960 incentive agreement with the city of Corpus Christi. In addition 1364 01:11:51.960 --> 01:11:54.479 to the stadium, the complex will include eight multi use fields, 1365 01:11:54.479 --> 01:11:56.600 a go kart racing track, and office space. 1366 01:11:57.680 --> 01:12:00.520 And so Corpus Christi gets added to the mix. When 1367 01:12:00.520 --> 01:12:01.399 do they start play? 1368 01:12:01.479 --> 01:12:07.039 By the way, so it has been awarded the rights 1369 01:12:07.079 --> 01:12:12.960 to a USL League One franchise, yet no date has 1370 01:12:13.039 --> 01:12:19.920 been announced to win this franchise would start, but Corpus 1371 01:12:19.960 --> 01:12:22.800 Christy now is being added to the mix for USL 1372 01:12:23.000 --> 01:12:24.800 League One, so a good deal with them. We need 1373 01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:26.520 to catch up with Darren van Tassel at the end 1374 01:12:26.560 --> 01:12:28.800 of the season two and the irwins, and we need 1375 01:12:28.840 --> 01:12:30.960 to make the round Sean McDaniel catch up with everybody 1376 01:12:30.960 --> 01:12:34.479 in USL League one when the regular season's over.

I'm just mentioned we're gonna go through the 1408 01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:47.319 end of season awards names and I just ran through 1409 01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:47.960 the MVPs. 1410 01:14:48.319 --> 01:14:51.000 But your thoughts, literally all of them. 1411 01:14:51.039 --> 01:14:52.840 Sure, absolutely, there's nothing wrong with that. 1412 01:14:53.000 --> 01:14:55.479 And I went I went through the josh Wolfe dismissal, 1413 01:14:55.720 --> 01:14:58.359 and how I how I'm turning into an old softie. 1414 01:14:58.359 --> 01:15:00.359 I think, how much time do we for me to 1415 01:15:00.399 --> 01:15:01.800 go over this? So we have somebody coming in that 1416 01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:02.520 if we have a hit for. 1417 01:15:02.920 --> 01:15:05.720 No, we're clean, We're the road.

I got no problem 1421 01:15:15.560 --> 01:15:18.319 with Joshua being fired. I think it's still kind of 1422 01:15:18.319 --> 01:15:20.760 shitty that you fired him when you did. Firing during 1423 01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:23.479 the last week in the window or firing next week 1424 01:15:24.680 --> 01:15:26.760 like one game left just kind of feels like it 1425 01:15:26.840 --> 01:15:29.239 was personal, and maybe it was. Maybe there was something 1426 01:15:29.319 --> 01:15:33.000 going on within the organization that made it personal. Maybe 1427 01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:37.039 it got ugly. It's just like that's a weird, awkward time. 1428 01:15:37.119 --> 01:15:38.840 And then the well, they need to get a head 1429 01:15:38.840 --> 01:15:40.720 start of the coaching search. Then he could have hardly 1430 01:15:41.359 --> 01:15:43.600 look good. They knew they weren't bringing you back. They 1431 01:15:43.680 --> 01:15:45.800 probably already got a head start on the coaching, sir. 1432 01:15:45.920 --> 01:15:51.119 They probably already had people doing the work. It might 1433 01:15:51.159 --> 01:15:53.520 not be formal interviews yet, but they could have been 1434 01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:56.640 reaching out about it. It's just the timing of it. 1435 01:15:57.039 --> 01:15:59.239 And the last match of the season's a home game 1436 01:15:59.279 --> 01:15:59.800 at Q two. 1437 01:16:01.159 --> 01:16:05.560 My thing is how you treat people matters, and like 1438 01:16:05.640 --> 01:16:08.840 you said, there could have been some issue behind the 1439 01:16:08.880 --> 01:16:12.760 scenes that complicates this a bit. It just feels kind 1440 01:16:12.800 --> 01:16:17.039 of gross. Fired in with one game left. Either do 1441 01:16:17.159 --> 01:16:20.359 it a month ago. And I know somebody mentioned like, well, 1442 01:16:20.600 --> 01:16:23.520 the thing was if he didn't get the playoffs, he 1443 01:16:23.600 --> 01:16:26.880 was gonna be gone. Look, I feel like if you're 1444 01:16:26.920 --> 01:16:30.520 making that decision of you have to make the playoffs 1445 01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:35.199 or you're gonna go, it's kind of like the situation 1446 01:16:35.319 --> 01:16:39.680 of you already know what you want to do, you 1447 01:16:39.760 --> 01:16:44.479 want to move on, then move on. If you're setting 1448 01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:49.600 these stipulations over and over again, then move on. It's 1449 01:16:49.680 --> 01:16:51.279 kind of the whole thing. If you can't make up 1450 01:16:51.279 --> 01:16:55.159 your mind, pull out a coin and flip it heads 1451 01:16:55.159 --> 01:16:58.359 for one thing, tails for another. If you find yourself 1452 01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:01.600 hoping for heads versus tails or tails versus heads, then 1453 01:17:01.640 --> 01:17:02.560 you know how you're leading. 1454 01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:08.399 Yeah, yeah, hey, heads Carolina tails California. 1455 01:17:08.439 --> 01:17:11.479 I get it. That's what we're here for. 1456 01:17:12.239 --> 01:17:15.760 MLS named all of their awards dudes the postseasons, and 1457 01:17:15.880 --> 01:17:18.279 I and I said at the beginning that we were 1458 01:17:18.279 --> 01:17:20.600 not a part of the one third grouping of media 1459 01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:22.840 that were submitting names to all of this. 1460 01:17:24.039 --> 01:17:26.319 No, it means I can be like fast and loose 1461 01:17:26.359 --> 01:17:30.159 with my complaints about like some of the people who 1462 01:17:30.159 --> 01:17:33.439 do have votes saying that Chris Armis doesn't deserve any 1463 01:17:33.479 --> 01:17:36.640 down ballot votes. Get the hell on you and your BAMA. Yes, 1464 01:17:37.319 --> 01:17:40.640 I get Wilford Nuns. He's gonna win this thing most likely. Yeah, 1465 01:17:41.319 --> 01:17:47.840 because Jesus Christ, the season they've had, they've been outstanding. Yeah, 1466 01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:52.159 but put some down ballot respect on Chris Armis's name 1467 01:17:52.199 --> 01:17:53.840 and what he's done in Colorado. 1468 01:17:54.119 --> 01:17:56.640 Yeah, absolutely, you have. 1469 01:17:56.680 --> 01:17:57.720 That's all I'm asking. 1470 01:17:57.840 --> 01:18:04.399 Yeah, all right, So, since you're in Coach of the Year, Armis, Charundelo, Courtois, 1471 01:18:04.600 --> 01:18:10.560 Curtain Cushing, Hackworth, hackworths as as an interim get gets 1472 01:18:10.640 --> 01:18:16.199 votes over the Cornell Herdman was seen Tata Martino, Master, 1473 01:18:16.359 --> 01:18:20.640 Enni Nanci Neville, Noonan Olsen, Pereja Ramsey, Eric Ramsey getting 1474 01:18:20.720 --> 01:18:25.039 votes are nominated Ian Russell, Vanny Sartini, Schmitzer, Schwarz, Dean Smith, 1475 01:18:25.039 --> 01:18:30.119 and Greg Vanny. So that's your that's your group everybody. 1476 01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:33.039 So pretty much. Yeah, So, like I said, you got 1477 01:18:33.079 --> 01:18:33.760 the the. 1478 01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:36.159 Thirds that are throwing names into the pile and it 1479 01:18:36.279 --> 01:18:38.439 ends up being this list of nine thousand people by 1480 01:18:38.479 --> 01:18:42.039 the time you're done. So but no, I mean, legitimately, 1481 01:18:42.119 --> 01:18:45.359 for me, if I'm looking at if we're if we're 1482 01:18:45.399 --> 01:18:48.119 treating this like the Downtown Athletic Club. 1483 01:18:49.279 --> 01:18:52.720 It is Armis, it is. 1484 01:18:54.520 --> 01:19:00.319 Tata obviously, but he's not getting my vote, Nancy. And 1485 01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:05.600 I mean, I mean from legitimately, that's it because everybody 1486 01:19:05.600 --> 01:19:07.520 else is like you know, if you look at if 1487 01:19:07.560 --> 01:19:11.239 you go with Charundelo and Greg Vanny, Okay, great, you 1488 01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:13.560 did what you were supposed to do with the resources 1489 01:19:13.600 --> 01:19:14.199 you had. 1490 01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:18.000 Both I'll give I'll give Vanny more credit than that though, 1491 01:19:18.039 --> 01:19:22.640 because they're gonna win the West, right or damn. They 1492 01:19:23.319 --> 01:19:24.840 should be in position to win the West. 1493 01:19:25.079 --> 01:19:27.199 They should be in position. So here's the deal. Going 1494 01:19:27.239 --> 01:19:29.760 into the last day last days of the regular season. Remember, 1495 01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:32.199 LAFC has the makeup game this weekend. 1496 01:19:32.279 --> 01:19:34.159 Yeah, you're right, never mind. 1497 01:19:35.119 --> 01:19:38.199 Well but LA, so LAFC if they win this weekend 1498 01:19:38.239 --> 01:19:41.680 and it's against Vancouver, so there, I think they're the 1499 01:19:41.800 --> 01:19:45.960 Sunday game LA and Vancouver. LAFC Vancouver is the makeup 1500 01:19:46.039 --> 01:19:49.640 game in the Western Conference on Sunday. If Vancouver wins, 1501 01:19:49.840 --> 01:19:51.880 then they're in the mix. They move up to the 1502 01:19:51.960 --> 01:19:54.279 seven and out of the play in Minnesota drops down. 1503 01:19:54.279 --> 01:19:57.880 If LAFC wins, they go to sixty one points eighteen 1504 01:19:57.960 --> 01:20:01.199 wins with a game to go in the regular season. 1505 01:20:01.279 --> 01:20:04.720 So all LAFC needs really is a point on decision Day. 1506 01:20:04.920 --> 01:20:08.279 But LAFC has something to play for here heading into 1507 01:20:08.319 --> 01:20:11.319 the last two weekends of the regular season. 1508 01:20:12.079 --> 01:20:14.880 Yeah, so I'll give that. I'll give Vanny Moore credit 1509 01:20:14.920 --> 01:20:21.960 in that, Like we've seen coaches been given like big 1510 01:20:22.039 --> 01:20:24.800 money pieces and the Galaxy and fall on their faces 1511 01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:26.720 and he might win the West with it. I'll give 1512 01:20:26.800 --> 01:20:30.159 him more credit. I think he deserves more credit for that. Van. 1513 01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:32.840 He was also great in Toronto, and look, Toronto was 1514 01:20:32.960 --> 01:20:35.479 like a super team, not just on the field when 1515 01:20:35.520 --> 01:20:38.119 they were great in the late twenty teens, but you 1516 01:20:38.279 --> 01:20:43.399 also had like leadership that was outstanding up there. Yeah, 1517 01:20:43.479 --> 01:20:45.319 and he was part of that, and then you know 1518 01:20:45.399 --> 01:20:48.399 Vespachenko was part of that. But then goes to Columbus. 1519 01:20:48.399 --> 01:20:54.359 If you're sensing a pattern here, yeah, Armises good, Armists 1520 01:20:54.359 --> 01:20:56.000 deserves to have Alt post Man. What he's done in 1521 01:20:56.039 --> 01:21:00.840 Colorado has been outstanding. And again reiterated, I don't think 1522 01:21:00.840 --> 01:21:04.119 I've ever heard a cross word about Chriss Harmis like comes. 1523 01:21:04.479 --> 01:21:08.319 He has always come across like a very pleasant guy 1524 01:21:08.800 --> 01:21:11.880 and one of those guys that people want to succeed. 1525 01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:16.479 So I'm happy for him on that front. Nanci's gonna 1526 01:21:16.479 --> 01:21:20.640 get those votes as well. Yeah, uh oh, it's a 1527 01:21:20.680 --> 01:21:23.319 d Gram's point. The financial decision for Wolf, I agree. 1528 01:21:23.359 --> 01:21:25.279 I think I think it is a financial decision. With 1529 01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:28.039 the fan showing up the last home game, I think 1530 01:21:28.079 --> 01:21:31.439 they should have done it like the last window. Yeah, 1531 01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:33.600 it's not that I don't think they should have fired 1532 01:21:33.680 --> 01:21:35.800 Josh Wolf, And I think that's what people took away 1533 01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:38.119 from it when I said the other night, I'm not 1534 01:21:38.159 --> 01:21:40.479 saying you shouldn't have fired him. I'm saying, either wait 1535 01:21:40.600 --> 01:21:44.319 one more game and let him have his walk off, 1536 01:21:44.319 --> 01:21:46.520 even if he's boot I guess and maybe you're sparing 1537 01:21:46.560 --> 01:21:49.560 him that, but then firing before. Because even if you, 1538 01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:51.960 like I said, if you have set the stipulation of 1539 01:21:52.319 --> 01:21:54.520 do you have to make the playoffs or you're fired, 1540 01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:58.159 you've already made your decision that you want to move on. 1541 01:21:59.239 --> 01:22:01.760 Have you made your decision for Christ? 1542 01:22:02.279 --> 01:22:02.680 Yes? 1543 01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:07.199 Like you you you you're where you want to be. 1544 01:22:07.319 --> 01:22:09.760 You have a choice that you have made at that point. 1545 01:22:10.000 --> 01:22:10.920 Yes, you might not. 1546 01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:13.800 Be saying it out loud, but you know how you feel. 1547 01:22:14.239 --> 01:22:17.000 So just move on from him and spare us all 1548 01:22:17.039 --> 01:22:20.800 of it. Just fire him in the last window. Nobody 1549 01:22:20.800 --> 01:22:22.000 thought he was gonna make it to the end of 1550 01:22:22.039 --> 01:22:25.760 the year anyway. Yeah, and yeah, like if it if 1551 01:22:25.800 --> 01:22:27.800 it's toxic over there even more if it if it's 1552 01:22:27.800 --> 01:22:30.520 toxic and it's got ugly, even more reason not to 1553 01:22:30.600 --> 01:22:33.520 make it last Because what are you gonna be doing then? 1554 01:22:33.680 --> 01:22:36.119 Are you gonna sit there and say, well, damn, he 1555 01:22:36.199 --> 01:22:38.239 got us to the playoffs if he had won games? 1556 01:22:38.439 --> 01:22:40.159 Are you gonna say he got us to the playoffs. 1557 01:22:40.239 --> 01:22:42.880 We gotta sit here and just kind of grin and 1558 01:22:42.960 --> 01:22:46.239 Barrett with this coach who, well, we don't want to keep. No, 1559 01:22:46.640 --> 01:22:50.560 you're still possibly gonna move on. If the relationship is shattered, 1560 01:22:51.960 --> 01:22:54.520 just fire him before now and then you don't pick 1561 01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:56.039 a weird ass time to do it? 1562 01:22:56.479 --> 01:22:56.880 Mm hmm. 1563 01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:04.600 I d A attention interest decision action? Do I have 1564 01:23:04.840 --> 01:23:08.600 your attention interest? Are you interested? I know you are 1565 01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:12.520 because it's blank? Or walk you close or you hit 1566 01:23:12.600 --> 01:23:13.239 the bricks? 1567 01:23:13.239 --> 01:23:13.800 Decision? 1568 01:23:14.319 --> 01:23:18.520 Have you made your decision for christ and action? A? 1569 01:23:18.920 --> 01:23:23.119 I D A get out there. You've got prospects coming in. 1570 01:23:23.399 --> 01:23:25.079 You think they came in here to get out of 1571 01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:27.600 the rain. A guy don't walk on the lot lest 1572 01:23:27.640 --> 01:23:31.079 he wants to buy in this case, coach, Yes, they're 1573 01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:33.279 sitting out there waiting to give you their money. 1574 01:23:33.279 --> 01:23:35.079 Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to 1575 01:23:35.079 --> 01:23:36.840 take it? What's the problem? Pal? 1576 01:23:37.479 --> 01:23:41.079 You've watched way too many times, That's what I'm taking 1577 01:23:41.119 --> 01:23:45.119 away from this, or seem to play way too many 1578 01:23:45.159 --> 01:23:48.520 times and then just watch the movie internalized. 1579 01:23:47.880 --> 01:23:52.239 This A always BBC Crewton always be Cruton always. 1580 01:23:51.880 --> 01:23:54.880 Well there's well there's that too, and someone should tell 1581 01:23:55.239 --> 01:23:59.079 Chip Kelly and Dan mullen about that. But I digress. 1582 01:24:00.199 --> 01:24:04.920 Boy yeah, man, like, yeah, my beef isn't with firing. Well, 1583 01:24:05.159 --> 01:24:07.079 it's that y'all, picked a weird time to do it, 1584 01:24:07.119 --> 01:24:10.640 and if you felt if he was already dead in 1585 01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:14.359 the water, why'd you wait so long? Just do it. 1586 01:24:15.119 --> 01:24:16.880 The fans wanted you to do it, And I know, 1587 01:24:17.000 --> 01:24:19.760 I know. It's the thing that fans can't dictate the 1588 01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:21.600 entire club because then it gets tricky and the same 1589 01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:24.479 since you can't let players dictate everything the club does, 1590 01:24:24.520 --> 01:24:28.199 because then that will get really messy and really problematic. 1591 01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:33.439 But man, it's just the timing was really weird on it. 1592 01:24:33.479 --> 01:24:35.720 We'll see who else gets If anybody else gets fired 1593 01:24:35.760 --> 01:24:38.079 at the end of the season, I don't know anybody. 1594 01:24:38.119 --> 01:24:40.119 I don't know. I'd have to look at it because 1595 01:24:40.119 --> 01:24:42.239 we have so many midseason firings this year. It's kind 1596 01:24:42.239 --> 01:24:44.720 of like turned the idea of black Monday into nothing. 1597 01:24:45.000 --> 01:24:46.640 Yeah. 1598 01:24:46.760 --> 01:24:49.960 By the way, uh, Jared, our friends at Apathios will 1599 01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:54.079 be returning to Silverbacks Park for the next NPSL season, 1600 01:24:54.560 --> 01:25:05.680 announced today on social media as season tickets go on sale. 1601 01:25:02.039 --> 01:25:06.199 In NSL Southeast with a rock fight last year below 1602 01:25:06.239 --> 01:25:09.199 the playoffs to way too many Carolina teams that wanted 1603 01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:11.279 to murder each other at all hours of the day. 1604 01:25:11.479 --> 01:25:16.119 It was beautiful, yes, Below the playoff Bar currently Herdman, 1605 01:25:16.359 --> 01:25:23.560 curtin Atlanta, Nashville, New England, Caleb Porter, and Chicago who's 1606 01:25:23.600 --> 01:25:26.520 probably going to be naming Greg Burholter as their coach? 1607 01:25:26.920 --> 01:25:30.199 Below the playoff bar, Josh Wolf, you have an interim 1608 01:25:30.239 --> 01:25:33.600 in Dallas, You've got Hackworth in Saint Louis? 1609 01:25:33.680 --> 01:25:34.279 Does he stay? 1610 01:25:34.359 --> 01:25:37.039 Do they bring in somebody full time? Peter Vermes, I 1611 01:25:37.079 --> 01:25:40.359 think is the larger question in Kansas City? And then 1612 01:25:40.399 --> 01:25:42.079 what do you do in San Jose? So I think 1613 01:25:42.079 --> 01:25:44.840 that that's what you're staring at, at least below the 1614 01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:45.720 playoff bar. 1615 01:25:45.880 --> 01:25:49.640 Anyway, Well, Vermes controls his own faith. That's kind of 1616 01:25:49.680 --> 01:25:50.239 the problem. 1617 01:25:50.399 --> 01:25:53.880 Yes, every time a manager gets fired, the most fun 1618 01:25:53.920 --> 01:25:55.960 thing is to do is to go on Reddit or 1619 01:25:56.000 --> 01:25:58.479 to go on the comments of any other social media 1620 01:25:58.560 --> 01:26:01.319 and find the Kansas City fans that are just in 1621 01:26:01.840 --> 01:26:05.239 the deepest depth of hell being like, how come everyone else? 1622 01:26:05.840 --> 01:26:06.279 Mm hmm? 1623 01:26:06.439 --> 01:26:10.840 Is uh is able to do this? Oh?

Official announcement expected on Tuesday. 1634 01:26:44.760 --> 01:26:46.560 Of course, if you had just seen the two hundred 1635 01:26:46.560 --> 01:26:50.680 and eighty character app in Chicago Fire's account to tell 1636 01:26:50.720 --> 01:26:53.279 him telling you to set your notifications, I'm guessing this 1637 01:26:53.319 --> 01:26:54.279 is the reason why. 1638 01:26:54.439 --> 01:26:58.319 So Jason Nick's no. Three Gston to Chicago. That's just 1639 01:26:58.399 --> 01:27:00.800 that's that was his answered to out like a week 1640 01:27:00.880 --> 01:27:04.560 or two ago, three G two Chicago as the coach 1641 01:27:04.640 --> 01:27:07.119 and technical director, taking the Pert Peter Burmes role. 1642 01:27:09.119 --> 01:27:13.039 Mm hmmm, So Joe Joe Man is gonna give give 1643 01:27:13.079 --> 01:27:14.119 him the keys. 1644 01:27:15.520 --> 01:27:18.520 Because the Jason also says your thoughts on Wolf to 1645 01:27:18.520 --> 01:27:20.640 Atlanta Airpan all the mentioned yesterday when they were talking 1646 01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:24.239 about his firing. I don't think about it, and it's 1647 01:27:24.239 --> 01:27:26.880 not a shot at Wolf. It's that I think Atlanta 1648 01:27:27.079 --> 01:27:30.720 is going to aim at a bigger name because I 1649 01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:36.279 think there's so much pressure too to nail every aspect 1650 01:27:36.359 --> 01:27:40.920 of this off season. I don't like, you know, it's 1651 01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:45.760 kind of like the the the shine has certainly buffed 1652 01:27:45.760 --> 01:27:50.279 out of Josh Wolf at this point in his coaching setup. 1653 01:27:52.039 --> 01:27:52.840 So yeah, well. 1654 01:27:54.640 --> 01:27:58.640 Yeah, we will see what the story is there. Uh 1655 01:27:59.760 --> 01:28:02.239 As we're let's see and I got a bookmark this, 1656 01:28:02.319 --> 01:28:05.039 all right, So Steph Yang's article at the Athletic, I 1657 01:28:05.079 --> 01:28:05.760 got a bookmark this. 1658 01:28:05.800 --> 01:28:07.279 We got to talk about this before we go. 1659 01:28:07.640 --> 01:28:09.840 Since we're in the MLS discussion right now, I'm gonna 1660 01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:12.359 put I'm gonna let you know what the story is. 1661 01:28:12.600 --> 01:28:15.039 We'll bookmark it and talk about it on the other side. 1662 01:28:15.760 --> 01:28:18.119 According to staph Yang at the Athletic, the Angel City 1663 01:28:18.239 --> 01:28:22.479 salary cap violation was revealed by a former player. According 1664 01:28:22.479 --> 01:28:25.880 to NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman, so we'll get into that 1665 01:28:26.079 --> 01:28:26.720 later on. 1666 01:28:26.640 --> 01:28:29.600 But it exists. It's over there, Okay. 1667 01:28:30.000 --> 01:28:35.880 So MVP voting in Major League Soccer, ninety seven players 1668 01:28:35.880 --> 01:28:40.079 were named, and you can sit there and look at 1669 01:28:40.119 --> 01:28:43.039 him and this is probably going to be fairly wide open, 1670 01:28:44.640 --> 01:28:46.399 and you look at it and you sit there and 1671 01:28:46.439 --> 01:28:49.439 it's like, okay, Messi and Suarez are named on it. 1672 01:28:50.000 --> 01:28:54.560 For Messi and friends, and I would put Suarez ahead 1673 01:28:54.600 --> 01:28:58.640 of Messi in that race on that club, considering that 1674 01:28:58.640 --> 01:29:02.000 Lionel Messi was out of half of the matches. I 1675 01:29:02.079 --> 01:29:06.399 understand why it was named. I understand why it was nominated, 1676 01:29:06.960 --> 01:29:09.720 but I would have others as a part of the discussion, 1677 01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:13.159 and we'll probably bring this up with Nino as well. 1678 01:29:13.239 --> 01:29:16.760 On I can understand why he was named. I can 1679 01:29:16.880 --> 01:29:19.239 understand why he was part of the list. I can 1680 01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:25.600 still like say, I disagree with absolutely. I don't don't. 1681 01:29:25.720 --> 01:29:29.239 I don't really care, nor do I want like Messi 1682 01:29:29.399 --> 01:29:33.520 to be on that Messi is a very he kind 1683 01:29:33.520 --> 01:29:36.359 of that's with the bell of like important players because 1684 01:29:37.319 --> 01:29:39.560 you know, because of his production. But at the same time, 1685 01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:43.119 they put up numbers without him. It's not like Miami 1686 01:29:43.239 --> 01:29:45.880 collapsed like a like you know, like a su FLA 1687 01:29:46.079 --> 01:29:50.199 without him. Correct, they were fine, Wally, Miami was the 1688 01:29:50.199 --> 01:29:53.239 team I'm miss hardest one in preseason. I went back. 1689 01:29:54.680 --> 01:29:56.479 I had to go back and find a tweet about 1690 01:29:56.479 --> 01:29:59.000 something where it's like the treatment with the ever the 1691 01:29:59.079 --> 01:30:03.239 ever loving joke on never wrong. Just early dude, I 1692 01:30:03.399 --> 01:30:09.560 was I was like Turbo wrong about MEPhI and Miami 1693 01:30:09.560 --> 01:30:11.359 because I was like, there, I don't know if I 1694 01:30:11.359 --> 01:30:13.439 didn't think they were gonna win the field. I was like, 1695 01:30:13.479 --> 01:30:16.640 I don't think they can just know they're gonna they're 1696 01:30:16.680 --> 01:30:18.239 gonna have to rest guys. Then they just went and 1697 01:30:18.239 --> 01:30:20.479 outfitted the rest of that roster so beautifully and just 1698 01:30:20.680 --> 01:30:23.359 won their games even without Messing didn't matter. I thought 1699 01:30:23.399 --> 01:30:25.279 they were gonna arrest too many key guys during the 1700 01:30:25.319 --> 01:30:29.880 season and they finished like third in the East. But no, man, 1701 01:30:30.000 --> 01:30:35.439 they killed it. But like you have cucco mm hm, 1702 01:30:37.880 --> 01:30:46.479 Frank frankly uhand out in Portland their Vander like Vander 1703 01:30:46.600 --> 01:30:49.439 was just setting people up in like King style. 1704 01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:53.560 Well and if you and how do you And then 1705 01:30:53.600 --> 01:30:55.560 it goes to your definition of what do you refer 1706 01:30:55.640 --> 01:30:58.000 to as a most valuable player? Is how this club 1707 01:30:58.000 --> 01:31:01.119 would function without that player as a part of that roster. 1708 01:31:02.920 --> 01:31:05.600 And then in Portland, you know. 1709 01:31:06.640 --> 01:31:10.880 Yes, And also like me just being grumpy about and 1710 01:31:10.960 --> 01:31:13.720 turning kind of a side eye to like MLS digital 1711 01:31:13.760 --> 01:31:18.159 media like them propping up MESSI even more like, I 1712 01:31:18.199 --> 01:31:19.760 don't know how you can have anyone, but miss I'm 1713 01:31:19.800 --> 01:31:22.640 like I do. I got multiple bodies I can throw 1714 01:31:22.680 --> 01:31:25.640 in there who actually played more than half the games. Yes, 1715 01:31:25.960 --> 01:31:30.000 Messi is electric. He is incredibly fun and incredibly good. 1716 01:31:30.520 --> 01:31:34.039 He had the best player we've ever seen, most of us. Yeah, 1717 01:31:34.720 --> 01:31:38.479 but as far as guys this year, like have a 1718 01:31:38.560 --> 01:31:42.520 bunch of guys who played more games, who made huge impacts. 1719 01:31:42.520 --> 01:31:46.079 And yeah, you want to stretch Messi's numbers out thirty games, 1720 01:31:46.560 --> 01:31:49.920 that's fine. If he played thirty games, you'd have done this. Yes, 1721 01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:52.119 And if frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their ass 1722 01:31:52.119 --> 01:31:52.520 when they. 1723 01:31:52.439 --> 01:31:55.479 Jumped morning hand. 1724 01:31:55.560 --> 01:31:58.359 He didn't. He didn't play, didn't play thirty games. You 1725 01:31:58.479 --> 01:32:00.760 play you know, five games? 1726 01:32:00.840 --> 01:32:02.840 I think it was what seventeen he had fifteen goals 1727 01:32:02.840 --> 01:32:04.439 and said what teams or something like that. 1728 01:32:04.920 --> 01:32:08.840 Yeah, I mean he was, he was amazing. But there's 1729 01:32:08.960 --> 01:32:09.680 the guys here. 1730 01:32:09.920 --> 01:32:12.640 Yes, there are other guys. There's a lot. There are 1731 01:32:12.640 --> 01:32:16.760 a lot of us. Yeah, that's where I yes understood. Uh. 1732 01:32:16.920 --> 01:32:19.760 Newcomer of the Year defined as a player with previous 1733 01:32:19.880 --> 01:32:23.199 professional experience who made his MLS debut in twenty twenty four. 1734 01:32:23.680 --> 01:32:28.319 Eligible must have played at least five hundred minutes during 1735 01:32:28.560 --> 01:32:32.800 the twenty twenty four regular season. Gabriel Peck and both 1736 01:32:33.039 --> 01:32:36.399 both he and Paintsil the other two killer pees are are. 1737 01:32:37.920 --> 01:32:41.640 Yeah, and it's funny, Graham. Any team with two nominees 1738 01:32:41.680 --> 01:32:45.399 eliminates both. For me, the Galaxy might be the extension 1739 01:32:45.439 --> 01:32:47.840 to that rule when it comes to newcomer because paintfil 1740 01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:51.319 and Peck they might eliminate each other by stealing votes. True, 1741 01:32:51.319 --> 01:32:54.479 but man, those two like you brought both of those 1742 01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:57.800 guys in like spending ten million, like we're just gonna 1743 01:32:58.439 --> 01:32:59.880 there are some money and see what we can do. 1744 01:33:00.319 --> 01:33:03.319 And you brought them in and both of them contributed 1745 01:33:03.359 --> 01:33:08.680 to burning everyone's house down. It was beautiful. That offense 1746 01:33:08.760 --> 01:33:09.439 is terrifying. 1747 01:33:09.640 --> 01:33:14.880 Yes, uh so your nominees Abata from Charlotte, uh gjerme 1748 01:33:15.039 --> 01:33:16.279 Biro from Austin, who. 1749 01:33:16.159 --> 01:33:19.680 I thought has got similar problems that yeah, he had 1750 01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:26.199 in Glasgow, which is staying health on the field. He's healthy. 1751 01:33:26.359 --> 01:33:30.760 He showed you that, Yes, uh Biro, who probably eliminated 1752 01:33:30.800 --> 01:33:33.439 himself from competition after what he did to Ricky Pooge 1753 01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:37.000 uh Buca and Cincinnati Omar compos and l A FC, 1754 01:33:37.159 --> 01:33:40.600 Matt Crook's at RSL Kuiper's with the fire, Dela Vega 1755 01:33:40.800 --> 01:33:42.960 with Seattle, did de la Vega actually. 1756 01:33:42.720 --> 01:33:45.760 La Vega camp sting on the field, and I don't 1757 01:33:45.760 --> 01:33:48.800 want to hear everybody's losing the ship about the tackle 1758 01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:53.079 on Pooge. If he comes in like that to Jay Fortune, 1759 01:33:53.079 --> 01:33:57.079 no one says shit. But because it's Ricky Pooge, because 1760 01:33:57.079 --> 01:33:59.359 it's a guy we know who was on the receiving 1761 01:33:59.439 --> 01:34:04.000 end of that, it's gonna become this pearl clutching.

I would think, 1832 01:38:25.600 --> 01:38:29.640 uh that, you know, if it's me, I'm looking at 1833 01:38:29.680 --> 01:38:32.880 Jamay and Yoshida. Jared just went from one cell to 1834 01:38:32.920 --> 01:38:37.000 the next. Uh the og Jared says, a reckless tackle 1835 01:38:37.000 --> 01:38:39.760 on a star player from LA any reckless tackle on 1836 01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:41.760 a star player from a team like Atlanta then pro 1837 01:38:41.840 --> 01:38:43.640 starts targeting said player for diving. 1838 01:38:43.760 --> 01:38:46.560 That is also true, he's a diver. 1839 01:38:47.800 --> 01:38:51.880 He's a diving happens as far as the defender side 1840 01:38:51.920 --> 01:38:54.960 of it, Like I thought that award could arrested in 1841 01:38:55.079 --> 01:38:56.920 Charlotte in the first half of the year, and their 1842 01:38:56.920 --> 01:38:59.119 defense kind of collapsed a bit in the back half 1843 01:38:59.159 --> 01:39:02.000 that they built. They built. Charlotte did exactly what I 1844 01:39:02.079 --> 01:39:04.159 tell people to do and what I ask for out 1845 01:39:04.159 --> 01:39:07.479 of teams, which is build yourself a nice cushion. Show 1846 01:39:07.520 --> 01:39:10.039 that when you beat yourself on stage, you don't fall 1847 01:39:10.079 --> 01:39:13.119 out of the playoffs. Charlotte built themselves a nice cushion. 1848 01:39:13.319 --> 01:39:15.439 Win a month without a win, and they were still 1849 01:39:15.439 --> 01:39:18.319 in a playoff spot. You know why, because they built 1850 01:39:18.359 --> 01:39:21.199 themselves a cushion by winning their early games. 1851 01:39:21.239 --> 01:39:21.680 Correct. 1852 01:39:22.239 --> 01:39:26.119 Just do that, yes, Keeper of the Year five hundred 1853 01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:31.720 minutes minimum. Bono Brady Burkey, Calendar, Celentano, Steve Clark, Coronel 1854 01:39:31.880 --> 01:39:38.079 Crey Poe, Daniel, Matt Freeze, Stephen Fry, Galsse, Brad Ivacic, 1855 01:39:38.399 --> 01:39:42.880 Sean Johnson, Colleena, Laurie McMath, McCarthy, Shelty Sirawa, Dane Saint 1856 01:39:42.920 --> 01:39:46.359 Clair's ex Stefan Steuver, and Yohey taka Oka in Vancouver, 1857 01:39:49.159 --> 01:39:52.560 Brad Beby Brad Betterby invited to the Downtown Athletic Club 1858 01:39:52.600 --> 01:39:53.760 for this one. That's all I can say. 1859 01:39:53.840 --> 01:39:56.079 I hope Brad gets down ballot on it. I don't 1860 01:39:56.119 --> 01:40:00.920 think you'll win. Brad deserves down ballot at the Bayramimal. Yeah, 1861 01:40:01.159 --> 01:40:03.359 save one of the best seasons of his career in 1862 01:40:03.640 --> 01:40:06.640 one in the twilight of his career. I'm very happy 1863 01:40:06.680 --> 01:40:12.680 for Brad. For me, it's yeah, I think he's outstanding. Yeah, 1864 01:40:13.600 --> 01:40:16.600 save Charlotte's ass. And you know, we need to ask 1865 01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:19.720 Jess about this particular category and find out what she says. 1866 01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:20.399 But no, I'm with you. 1867 01:40:20.439 --> 01:40:23.520 I think it's Kaleina or somebody like Matt Freese who 1868 01:40:23.520 --> 01:40:26.319 finally got the chance to start in Major League soccer 1869 01:40:26.359 --> 01:40:29.600 instead of being a number two in Philly and ended 1870 01:40:29.680 --> 01:40:33.920 up getting a lot of solid results in NYC, So 1871 01:40:34.319 --> 01:40:41.479 that that's where I'm staring. Kaleina Brad Freeze probably shilty 1872 01:40:42.920 --> 01:40:46.119 because of crew, you know, something like that, and maybe 1873 01:40:46.199 --> 01:40:49.119 Drake Callendar considering that defense that's in front of him. 1874 01:40:49.520 --> 01:40:51.640 You know, I could I could definitely see something like 1875 01:40:51.720 --> 01:40:55.079 that for for Keeper of the Year, uh, Comeback Player 1876 01:40:55.079 --> 01:40:59.760 of the Year, Dobbydayalla, Brandon by lay On Flock, Ian Fray, 1877 01:41:00.079 --> 01:41:03.640 Chi Lorea who just fell down again, Robin Leood, Maxi Morales, 1878 01:41:03.720 --> 01:41:09.520 Lewis Morgan, surgeon Goma Eddie Segura might be Maxi Morales 1879 01:41:11.279 --> 01:41:14.640 overcome a severe injury and or adversity missing a significant 1880 01:41:14.640 --> 01:41:17.119 portion of the twenty three season. So Maxi Morales, Lewis 1881 01:41:17.119 --> 01:41:22.079 Morgan probably Audi Goals Drive Progress Impact Award nominees honors 1882 01:41:22.119 --> 01:41:25.239 an MAST player who showed outstanding dedication to charitable efforts 1883 01:41:25.720 --> 01:41:29.239 and serving the community during the twenty four season. I mean, honestly, 1884 01:41:29.319 --> 01:41:32.880 when you have an award like this, Jay Fortune is 1885 01:41:32.880 --> 01:41:36.640 the Atlanta United nominee, by the way, legitimately, what I 1886 01:41:36.640 --> 01:41:38.760 would do is I would have each And I know 1887 01:41:38.800 --> 01:41:41.199 this is kind of like the Walter Payton Award for 1888 01:41:41.359 --> 01:41:45.239 a Major League soccer but Seriously, every club means to 1889 01:41:45.279 --> 01:41:50.800 nominate somebody and they all get a significant donation to 1890 01:41:50.880 --> 01:41:53.760 a charity of their choice. And then maybe you come 1891 01:41:53.840 --> 01:41:56.600 up with someone who is above and beyond, and then 1892 01:41:56.600 --> 01:41:59.199 they're the number one, and then they end up getting 1893 01:41:59.239 --> 01:42:03.199 a super ceding donation to a charity of their choice. So, 1894 01:42:04.279 --> 01:42:06.520 like I said, Jay Fortune's the nominee for Atlanta United, 1895 01:42:06.960 --> 01:42:12.800 Kellen Acosta, Sebastian Burhalter, Brett Bronico Calendar, Celentano Crooks, Griffin, Dorsey, 1896 01:42:12.840 --> 01:42:16.960 Andrew Ferrell, Filippe, Jay Fortune, Matt Frees, Hector, Jimenez, j 1897 01:42:17.039 --> 01:42:21.520 T Marsenkowski, Eric Miller, Jordan Morris, Jaylen, Neil Driver, Darlington 1898 01:42:21.560 --> 01:42:25.720 n Agby for Columbus, Assorio, Johnny Russell, Illier, Pedro Santos, Sirwas, 1899 01:42:25.720 --> 01:42:28.920 Stephan Kai, Wagner, Taylor Washington, Josh Arrow, Give them all, 1900 01:42:29.039 --> 01:42:32.800 give them all a donation to their favorite charity, and 1901 01:42:32.840 --> 01:42:38.239 then then they can figure it out who your top 1902 01:42:38.319 --> 01:42:40.319 dog is and then they get a and one over 1903 01:42:40.359 --> 01:42:43.479 the top of that.

Don't hug me, it's too early. 2001 01:48:30.079 --> 01:48:35.159 And apparently the hugging is not gonna happen, so they'll 2002 01:48:35.199 --> 01:48:40.119 be no hugging of Aaron Rodgers if he doesn't want 2003 01:48:40.119 --> 01:48:42.800 you to hug him, and Robert Sala is not gonna 2004 01:48:42.840 --> 01:48:48.279 hug him.

Yeah, plus airfare, 2023 01:49:40.680 --> 01:49:43.960 you know, we probably could points out the hotel and 2024 01:49:44.000 --> 01:49:46.439 the key going to London is to fly through JFK. 2025 01:49:46.560 --> 01:49:50.640 Don't go direct, go from here to JFK JFK over 2026 01:49:50.680 --> 01:49:56.199 it's cheaper. Nick knows this with his cheap airfares dot com. 2027 01:49:56.560 --> 01:50:00.560 But yeah, apparently the Jets have fired Robert sal so 2028 01:50:00.840 --> 01:50:03.840 we know where, we know where that's going.

So yeah, nothing like a 2036 01:50:23.560 --> 01:50:29.000 bunch of rowdy Americans coming over and charging Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Yeah, 2037 01:50:29.079 --> 01:50:31.279 Nix Rogers steps in as coach players FU could go wrong? 2038 01:50:31.880 --> 01:50:34.159 Absolutely?

The report adds pocket Tod 2125 01:55:12.199 --> 01:55:15.560 discarded his original phone upon its return, which has only 2126 01:55:15.600 --> 01:55:17.520 added to his rap sheet. Thats is courtesy of our 2127 01:55:17.520 --> 01:55:20.520 friends at talkSPORT. That's because the FA was said to 2128 01:55:20.560 --> 01:55:23.520 have requested more access to the device to examine further details, 2129 01:55:23.520 --> 01:55:26.239 only for Pakata to admit it had gone. That led 2130 01:55:26.279 --> 01:55:29.520 the playmaker to be accused of obstructing their probe, with 2131 01:55:29.600 --> 01:55:33.079 the charges issued in May two aggravated breaches for non 2132 01:55:33.119 --> 01:55:37.560 cooperation and understood to have been accused deliberately by booked 2133 01:55:38.039 --> 01:55:41.760 being booked during four Premier League matches. Should the twenty 2134 01:55:41.800 --> 01:55:43.840 seven year old be found guilty of spot fixing, he 2135 01:55:43.840 --> 01:55:46.039 could be set for a lengthy band potentially six months 2136 01:55:46.079 --> 01:55:49.079 to a lifetime verdict unlikely to be reached until the summer, 2137 01:55:49.119 --> 01:55:51.960 so he's free to play for west Ham for the 2138 01:55:51.960 --> 01:55:57.039 remainder of the season. Obviously, there's a meeting today involving 2139 01:55:57.359 --> 01:56:04.399 Drew and his Manchester United, so we'll see what happens there. 2140 01:56:04.560 --> 01:56:08.359 Involving the future of Eric ten Hog, no extra punishment 2141 01:56:08.359 --> 01:56:12.279 for Nico Jackson after being accused of slapping Morato during 2142 01:56:12.279 --> 01:56:14.640 the one one draw with Nottingham Forest. Both clubs have 2143 01:56:14.680 --> 01:56:17.319 been charged with failure to control their players after what 2144 01:56:17.399 --> 01:56:24.960 the FA term a mass confrontation. So the club's mass confrontation, 2145 01:56:25.119 --> 01:56:32.800 nothing else involving nothing else involving any other players specifically, 2146 01:56:32.960 --> 01:56:38.840 So is it officially official? Did they not waste any time? 2147 01:56:39.199 --> 01:56:46.640 Because Stephen Goff is now reporting that things are officially 2148 01:56:46.680 --> 01:56:54.520 official involving Greg Burholter, It is as of seventeen minutes ago, 2149 01:56:54.720 --> 01:56:58.239 So there we go, So it is officially official.

He has both titles, So good for 2152 01:57:10.079 --> 01:57:26.079 Greg Burholt Chicago Fire FC. No, I don't want twenty 2153 01:57:26.079 --> 01:57:29.920 percent of single match tickets.

Current head coach Frank 2159 01:57:49.800 --> 01:57:52.079 Klopez will step down from his position following the team's 2160 01:57:52.079 --> 01:57:55.079 final regular season match on Saturday, October nineteen, will transition 2161 01:57:55.199 --> 01:58:00.239 to a new role as vice president of football. I 2162 01:58:00.239 --> 01:58:04.039 feel like I need a thunderclap or something quote from 2163 01:58:04.079 --> 01:58:07.359 Joe Mansweto. After a thorough and detailed search that included 2164 01:58:07.359 --> 01:58:09.680 a number of exceptional candidates, it became clear that Greg 2165 01:58:09.680 --> 01:58:12.079 Burholter was the right choice to lead our sporting operations. 2166 01:58:12.359 --> 01:58:15.199 His previous success in MLS, where he thrived in a 2167 01:58:15.279 --> 01:58:17.760 dual role, and his experience leading the US men's national 2168 01:58:17.800 --> 01:58:19.560 team over the last six years make him an ideal 2169 01:58:19.600 --> 01:58:24.760 fit for our vision for the club going forward. Another 2170 01:58:24.800 --> 01:58:30.800 paragraph from Mensweto quote from Burholter, continuing to go through 2171 01:58:30.920 --> 01:58:36.359 Burholter's numbers. Quote from Klopas going through the Burholter resume 2172 01:58:38.479 --> 01:58:40.800 playing their final match of the twenty four regular season 2173 01:58:40.800 --> 01:58:43.720 against Nashville Soldier Field October nineteen, beginning at five o'clock 2174 01:58:43.800 --> 01:58:48.880 Central Time, match broadcast globally on Season Pass.

Biggest 2300 02:06:49.279 --> 02:06:52.920 thing from Scott Wells and our friends at Gardner Webb 2301 02:06:53.680 --> 02:06:59.560 is that he has redirected their efforts when it comes 2302 02:06:59.680 --> 02:07:03.960 to helping folks out, and it was in a text, 2303 02:07:04.039 --> 02:07:08.800 So hang on just a second, let me. Biggest thing 2304 02:07:08.920 --> 02:07:12.960 that Scott wanted to say was that there's a lot 2305 02:07:13.000 --> 02:07:19.359 of aid and right now no power or water in 2306 02:07:19.399 --> 02:07:22.399 his section of Asheville. Move their efforts to Swannanoa and 2307 02:07:22.439 --> 02:07:25.960 Black Mountain as well as Old Fort difficult because there's 2308 02:07:26.000 --> 02:07:28.319 almost too much food now and the Bears are being 2309 02:07:28.359 --> 02:07:31.079 able to get to it. Churches can't give enough away 2310 02:07:31.079 --> 02:07:33.439 and are literally begging people to come and collect it. 2311 02:07:33.600 --> 02:07:37.439 So Scott Wells and his efforts are now looking more 2312 02:07:37.439 --> 02:07:39.279 into families that have lost homes, having to. 2313 02:07:39.199 --> 02:07:41.239 Move and needing things for their houses, et cetera. 2314 02:07:41.399 --> 02:07:47.159 So with your favorite charities or groups that are trying 2315 02:07:47.199 --> 02:07:49.680 to help out folks western North Carolina and Middle Georgia, 2316 02:07:49.680 --> 02:07:50.239 what have you. 2317 02:07:51.119 --> 02:07:53.479 Check ahead see what they need? 2318 02:07:54.800 --> 02:07:59.119 My question was to all of our coaches that we've 2319 02:07:59.159 --> 02:08:01.319 been in touch with, what do you need? And so 2320 02:08:01.439 --> 02:08:04.439 that's why if you're going to hook up with Scott 2321 02:08:04.439 --> 02:08:06.479 Wells and what he wants to do. It's about families 2322 02:08:06.560 --> 02:08:09.439 that have lost their homes and trying to re establish 2323 02:08:10.479 --> 02:08:13.760 just being in a home environment. So it might be 2324 02:08:13.840 --> 02:08:16.359 things like furniture, gift cards, those kinds of things to 2325 02:08:16.359 --> 02:08:21.279 help these families rebuild. Unc Asheville once again as an entity, 2326 02:08:21.560 --> 02:08:24.319 has relocated to a bunch of different campuses. Mentioned the 2327 02:08:24.359 --> 02:08:26.439 conversation that we had, I want to say with Leees 2328 02:08:26.479 --> 02:08:30.359 McCrae where it's been moved to Fareham and into Virginia 2329 02:08:30.479 --> 02:08:32.880 and access there as well. But we'll keep you posted 2330 02:08:33.000 --> 02:08:37.159 on what those folks need from a high school perspective 2331 02:08:37.600 --> 02:08:40.399 here in the state of Georgia. Been able to do 2332 02:08:40.439 --> 02:08:44.920 some reading and some writing at GPB and literally right 2333 02:08:44.960 --> 02:08:47.600 now in Hazlehurst and jeff Davis County, which seems to 2334 02:08:47.640 --> 02:08:53.199 be kind of a central point. It is the idea 2335 02:08:53.720 --> 02:08:56.399 that they're going to play high school football this weekend. 2336 02:08:56.880 --> 02:08:59.319 Seventy percent of the county does not have power, but 2337 02:08:59.359 --> 02:09:01.319 they're going to play and use it as a celebration 2338 02:09:01.960 --> 02:09:07.560 as Bacon County comes comes to Hazlehurst this weekend. But 2339 02:09:08.680 --> 02:09:11.520 check with your local high schools and all of your 2340 02:09:11.560 --> 02:09:14.439 contacts and all your people find out what they need. 2341 02:09:14.520 --> 02:09:15.800 Like I said, it might just be something as a 2342 02:09:15.880 --> 02:09:17.960 roof over their head, might be a gift card, might 2343 02:09:18.000 --> 02:09:20.079 be something to try to sit there and dust themselves 2344 02:09:20.079 --> 02:09:22.079 off on a daily basis, a place to get quiet. 2345 02:09:22.119 --> 02:09:25.920 Maybe it's some Wi Fi access or something like that. 2346 02:09:25.960 --> 02:09:30.239 But before you send something outbound, check locally and see 2347 02:09:30.239 --> 02:09:34.840 if something is specifically needed to attach to where you're 2348 02:09:34.840 --> 02:09:38.359 looking to give aid. So we don't have a situation 2349 02:09:38.439 --> 02:09:41.119 where folks are giving a boatload of food and nobody 2350 02:09:41.119 --> 02:09:43.239 comes and gets it and then the bears get to it. 2351 02:09:43.800 --> 02:09:46.880 You're helping the bears out, but families not so much. 2352 02:09:47.079 --> 02:09:52.359 So check ahead of time and check and see what 2353 02:09:52.399 --> 02:09:53.560 you're staring at. 2354 02:09:55.760 --> 02:10:00.680 With all of the folks that are trying to help 2355 02:10:00.720 --> 02:10:01.239 out here. 2356 02:10:01.279 --> 02:10:03.800 And it's fantastic that everyone is trying to lift each 2357 02:10:03.840 --> 02:10:06.319 other up. But just right now, since we're a week 2358 02:10:06.359 --> 02:10:10.239 plus in, just double check to make sure that folks 2359 02:10:10.439 --> 02:10:12.760 need specific things or what Check to see what they 2360 02:10:12.800 --> 02:10:13.760 need before you send. 2361 02:10:14.159 --> 02:10:15.680 So just do things that way. 2362 02:10:17.800 --> 02:10:22.319 Also on on the board this morning, let me see 2363 02:10:22.319 --> 02:10:24.279 before we try and get out here, let me go 2364 02:10:24.359 --> 02:10:28.720 and check and see what is going on around the 2365 02:10:28.760 --> 02:10:32.199 planet and see if there's anything that I have missed. 2366 02:10:33.920 --> 02:10:40.920 Oh abby on looking at Instagram with Brad yesterday. Yes, 2367 02:10:41.279 --> 02:10:45.680 continue as me. Come on now, let me see if 2368 02:10:45.680 --> 02:10:49.279 I'm within the twenty four hour limit.

I don't want you to create 2378 02:11:32.279 --> 02:11:35.960 my account. I just oh Manchester, Manchester City, and we 2379 02:11:36.039 --> 02:11:39.399 got to get into that. Manchester City is threatening further 2380 02:11:39.560 --> 02:11:44.159 legal action and rubbish the Premier League victory claims, and 2381 02:11:44.199 --> 02:11:46.840 apparently there's also now a civil war breaking out. 2382 02:11:46.920 --> 02:11:48.359 Tom Morgan from the Telegraph. 2383 02:11:48.840 --> 02:11:51.840 Manchester City have accused the Premier League of misleading clubs 2384 02:11:52.720 --> 02:11:57.319 and warned of more potential legal action. Amid bitter recriminations 2385 02:11:57.359 --> 02:12:02.079 after the APT tribunal. Battle escalated as the champions accused 2386 02:12:02.119 --> 02:12:05.720 the League of several inaccuracies and its peculiar. 2387 02:12:05.159 --> 02:12:06.800 Summary of the tribunals findings. 2388 02:12:07.079 --> 02:12:09.800 Further legal disputes could ignited clubs now pushed through swift 2389 02:12:09.840 --> 02:12:13.119 amendments to rules on apts. The club's head of legal 2390 02:12:13.119 --> 02:12:16.560 council is now suggesting the General Council for Manchester City, 2391 02:12:16.600 --> 02:12:20.159 Simon Cliff, outlining the club's dismay and a letter sent 2392 02:12:20.199 --> 02:12:23.159 to all other top tier clubs on Monday evening after 2393 02:12:23.199 --> 02:12:24.600 both sides declared victory. 2394 02:12:24.600 --> 02:12:26.239 Well, of course you're both going to declare victory. 2395 02:12:27.159 --> 02:12:29.600 Earlier, the League had categorically rejected cities claim of a 2396 02:12:29.640 --> 02:12:32.159 seismic triumph, conceding only that the ruling showed a small 2397 02:12:32.239 --> 02:12:34.880 number of discreete elements do not comply with competition law. 2398 02:12:35.560 --> 02:12:37.520 Cliff wrote the other nineteen clubs in an effort to 2399 02:12:37.560 --> 02:12:39.880 dismantle the lengthy League statement, saying its summary of the 2400 02:12:39.880 --> 02:12:45.159 Panels award was not correct. The Telegraph Sport reported how 2401 02:12:45.159 --> 02:12:48.600 the further tension summering of a meeting next week of clubs, 2402 02:12:48.600 --> 02:12:51.399 with City opposing plans to rule out applying fair market 2403 02:12:51.479 --> 02:12:55.159 value tests to shareholder loans retrospectively in the three years 2404 02:12:55.199 --> 02:12:59.000 since APT was introduced, so if you have the telegraph. 2405 02:12:59.079 --> 02:13:02.399 That is your requested required reading of the day. When 2406 02:13:02.439 --> 02:13:03.319 it comes to. 2407 02:13:05.720 --> 02:13:08.119 How folks in the Premier League, the owners. 2408 02:13:08.359 --> 02:13:10.199 Of a lot of the clubs are going to be 2409 02:13:10.279 --> 02:13:12.319 mad at each other and they're going to continue being mad. 2410 02:13:13.479 --> 02:13:18.479 Also trying to see if I've missed anything when it 2411 02:13:18.560 --> 02:13:19.239 comes to. 2412 02:13:21.239 --> 02:13:22.800 Anyone else. 2413 02:13:24.960 --> 02:13:28.119 Like I said, I'm scan I'm scanning copy here, trying 2414 02:13:28.159 --> 02:13:31.279 to see if there's anything else. So nothing in the 2415 02:13:31.359 --> 02:13:40.600 Times and nothing in that so we mentioned the club. 2416 02:13:41.119 --> 02:13:44.760 Anderseniesta did announce his retirement after a twenty four year career, 2417 02:13:44.840 --> 02:13:50.199 by the way, so that is official. Comos Kurto has 2418 02:13:50.239 --> 02:13:55.119 been banned after and this is from PA media, player 2419 02:13:55.159 --> 02:13:58.199 who racially abused Wang Yi Chong in a preseason friendly 2420 02:13:58.239 --> 02:14:00.239 has been given a ten match banned by feet of 2421 02:14:00.279 --> 02:14:03.279 five of those suspended for two years. Marco Kurto, who 2422 02:14:03.319 --> 02:14:05.720 is then playing for Como now on loan to Chisana, 2423 02:14:06.159 --> 02:14:09.199 found guilty of abusing Huwang during a friendly match in Marbella. 2424 02:14:09.640 --> 02:14:12.760 Spokesperson for the football governing body said the player Marco Kurto, 2425 02:14:12.800 --> 02:14:15.560 has found responsible for discriminatory behavior sanction with the ten 2426 02:14:15.600 --> 02:14:20.439 match suspension, and he defended the Jackie Chan common after 2427 02:14:20.479 --> 02:14:25.000 the Wolves complain of racism in a friendly South Korea 2428 02:14:25.000 --> 02:14:27.840 players National Football Association contact at FIFA in July to 2429 02:14:27.880 --> 02:14:31.920 express serious concerns about the incident. Matt Wilde said at 2430 02:14:31.920 --> 02:14:36.239 the time they welcomed the investigation. He COMO insisted at 2431 02:14:36.279 --> 02:14:38.399 the time the incident had been blown out of proportion. 2432 02:14:38.960 --> 02:14:42.359 Miran Suwarso, a spokesperson for the club's owner, said Kurto 2433 02:14:42.399 --> 02:14:45.399 had told the club he told a fellow defender ignore Huang, 2434 02:14:45.479 --> 02:14:52.000 he thinks he's Jackie Chan, and that was where that 2435 02:14:52.039 --> 02:14:55.239 went from there. So yeah, that didn't go over well. 2436 02:14:56.199 --> 02:15:00.000 DAMNL shouldn't have either, all right. So I think we're 2437 02:15:00.279 --> 02:15:03.199 up on the news and everything. But obviously the biggest 2438 02:15:03.199 --> 02:15:06.479 thing was that we now have a new two title 2439 02:15:06.520 --> 02:15:08.680 man in charge in Chicago and his name is Greg 2440 02:15:08.720 --> 02:15:11.720 Burholter with the Chicago Fire.
