00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 1>a week, we had a week off.

<v Speaker 2>All welcome in.

4
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 1>John Here at UFL Week five recap, mid season review.

5
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I think we'll do that today.

6
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>We have TV ratings from Friday as well as attendance.

7
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I think Mike Mitchell I'll pull up his article here

8
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>in a little bit. Lots to talk about John.

9
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>How are you?

10
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm great.

11
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think by far we talked about it

12
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 4>this weekend. I think the have finally found their offense.

13
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 4>This was by far the best week of football we

14
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 4>saw on the field. I mean, now, granted San Antonio

15
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Houston wasn't great, but man, those other three games, those

16
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 4>were world beaters.

17
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 3>That was incredible.

18
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

19
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 1>So I I was out all weekend, but I did

20
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 1>spend all day today.

21
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>I got to work the rest of the week. But

22
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I said, went on.

23
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I recapped everything because it was crazy and I was

24
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>like tracking everything and.

25
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm just putting up a comments here kind of as

26
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>we talk.

27
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>But uh, you know, I would see in the group

28
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>chat like I didn't even know, like the defense, you know,

29
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.120
<v Speaker 1>went to overtime.

30
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 2>And kind of all this stuff.

31
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Pat says the intro sounds like everything she does

32
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>is magic. Hey, we got copyrights stricken for my Slene

33
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.079
<v Speaker 1>dal line whatever, So.

34
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Like, don't you feel bad now?

35
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Well I was kind of mad to be like, yeah,

36
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 1>there's what you know, the eighteen cents or whatever is

37
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>going back to whatever publishing. But anyway, we're here today, Yes, John,

38
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 1>not to be the fanboy, but the without of do

39
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 1>the best weekend of football here. Lots to talk about.

40
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 1>We had the way Phillips and all that when I

41
00:01:58.640 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 1>was gone, I was in Vegas.

42
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 2>We'll figure out next week. I'm not quite sure yet.

43
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 1>We can talk after whatever, but overall, I guess we'll

44
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>do the deep dive of the weekend. We'll talk through

45
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the season, but just overall, grade grade the weekend and

46
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of grade where we are thus far here Monday,

47
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>April twenty eight.

48
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 4>I grade on a curve because of what we saw

49
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:19.639
<v Speaker 4>the first four weeks.

50
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I.

51
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 4>Mean, to me, this was an a like if you

52
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 4>if you know, you can take away whatever you want

53
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 4>to with San Antonio and Houston. But I mean, Jaylen

54
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 4>McClendon was pretty fun to watch, so I mean, it

55
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 4>wasn't a It might not have been a great game,

56
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.319
<v Speaker 4>but I think that was a great win for Houston.

57
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm not sure that they're gonna their post

58
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 4>season material, but still, I just think when you look

59
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 4>at the game, the it's stunning upset for Memphis. We

60
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.080
<v Speaker 4>saw an overtime and you know, an overtime game. It

61
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.719
<v Speaker 4>was fun. Saint Louis doing work DC with an historic comeback.

62
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's it's an a for me.

63
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

64
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, and we also have the whole Samson Nukua right, like, well,

65
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 1>there's that interaction we'll talk about. Yeah, we have like

66
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 1>national spotlight all that I was thinking too, And I

67
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>think it was Abdul that said after the show, you know,

68
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago. At this point, you know, John and

69
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Reid it really like the Angel and the deep, like

70
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the devil kind of on this show.

71
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>But I will agree this week.

72
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>But it did make me think because when I went

73
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to Gonzaga, when I got my broadcast degree, famously, two

74
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>things if I ever win like a you know, a

75
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, an Emmy for a short animated series about

76
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 1>spring football in eighty years or whatever, the two famous

77
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>things about me was I made a meatloaf music video

78
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>my junior year. That was my big junior year project,

79
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.919
<v Speaker 1>I did an eleven minute music video too. I would

80
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>do anything for love, but I want to that let

81
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>meet Love rip.

82
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.439
<v Speaker 2>But then senior year I did and it was.

83
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.439
<v Speaker 1>A play on the odd couple and it was called

84
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the God Couple, and it was at Gonzaga and an

85
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 1>angel and the son of the devil lived together at Gonzaga.

86
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 2>John. It was the whole series. I think we did

87
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>like seven episodes.

88
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 1>I blew up a dorm fictitiously in the series, like

89
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I licensed special effects and we got like my teacher goes,

90
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>so security has called the broadcast department like why are

91
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 1>we supposedly.

92
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Like blow it? We it was a big deal. It

93
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>was a big deal.

94
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>We made this most like yeah, anyway, it was a

95
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 1>big deal.

96
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>So but that made me think of us. So I

97
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that job that I do.

98
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I think we give two and I we kind of

99
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 1>went into this not planning, but I think we have

100
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of I think we have a good chemistry that way.

101
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Let me say, I think you're a little bit more optimistic.

102
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little bit more pestimistic.

103
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 2>So there we go.

104
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 3>Well that's the end and the yang of this podcast.

105
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Speaker 3>It worked. It totally works.

106
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>It totally works.

107
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk first off real quick here, Let's see

108
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 1>can I share this just before we you know, we

109
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>always talked through the ratings and everything here for the weekend.

110
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Did I get this right?

111
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>There we go Friday night UFL average four hundred and

112
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven thousand viewers on Fox up against right the

113
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 1>NFL Draft.

114
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 2>I forgot to make that joke as well.

115
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I made that to my father in law the other

116
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>day that we were gonna be able to start this

117
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>podcast John until shoot Or Sanders got drafted.

118
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 2>So he got drafted.

119
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was told, we knew the floor was

120
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 1>here for the Friday nights at six hundred thousand. This

121
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 1>is not great again, obviously the NFL draft. Any other takeaways,

122
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we want a deep dive or

123
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 1>maybe we do, or do you just say that this

124
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 1>is the asterisk and we move on to next week.

125
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think it's interesting that at the start of

126
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 4>this game eight oh seven to eight fourteen, the game

127
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 4>peaked at six hundred eighty one thousand. I don't know

128
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 4>what the lead into that was on Foxes. I guess

129
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 4>it was just fringed local programming. But either way. Yeah,

130
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.519
<v Speaker 4>we really thought that the floor was six hundred thousand,

131
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 4>and when you see four hundred and sixty seven thousand,

132
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 4>no matter what, you can talk about competition, that's fine

133
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 4>with but this is on network television. Network television kind

134
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 4>of is a catch off for everyone, not just hardcourt

135
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 4>sports fans. So that was pretty rough. And I think

136
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 4>people who were watching that early were probably I'm not

137
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 4>sure I want to watch it after, you know, fourteen

138
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 4>minutes of this thing, So that's that's too bad.

139
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, just to and we'll do the games here.

140
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 1>We talk about this obviously, the attendance and everything, but

141
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>holy god, like that battle Hawks game felt so hot,

142
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, just in even trying to catch up today

143
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and rewatching and seeing the clips league posting and watching

144
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.079
<v Speaker 1>the highlights on YouTube and everything else, like it just

145
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>it makes such a difference, and that game felt That

146
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>game had a vitriol to it. It felt like right

147
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>And obviously we saw that spill out on the fields afterward,

148
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 1>right when we get to all that, but it just

149
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>it just there is that intangibility and so when you

150
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>when you do the game on Friday, right, it was

151
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 1>in Birmingham, I think it was eight well, we have

152
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Mike's attendance and we'll pull up your eight the eight

153
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>thousand or whatever I think it was on that. It

154
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>just I would see having it switched to that and

155
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>that not immediately drawing my attention. I think if we

156
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 1>do this again next season, I think we really need

157
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>to evaluate those Fridays.

158
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think so there's something needs to be done there.

159
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's like.

160
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.079
<v Speaker 4>And you know, you tune in and again people have

161
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 4>gotten on me about we talked too much about attendance

162
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.639
<v Speaker 4>and we talked too much about ratings. But it's it's

163
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 4>kind of what I said. I made this this comment. Uh,

164
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.439
<v Speaker 4>when someone was taking me to task on this was like,

165
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 4>it's like a restaurant, you can we said, well, why

166
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 4>don't you guys talk about the gameplay?

167
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 3>The gameplay is good.

168
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.480
<v Speaker 4>It's like, okay, well, if you got a restaurant it's

169
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.759
<v Speaker 4>got great food, but no one's coming in, then you

170
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.639
<v Speaker 4>got to figure out, like what's the problem here?

171
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Is it your location? You know what is it? So?

172
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 4>Uh but yeah, that's that four hundred thousand. Was that

173
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 4>that's concerning I that was that's tough, and you're right

174
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 4>Fox to me, I still felt like Fox could have

175
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 4>made this a bigger thing. We had talked about that

176
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 4>before the season. I kind of wish they'd made a

177
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 4>little more special.

178
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:37.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just hard.

179
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.959
<v Speaker 1>Uh. I also think that it's it's just father that

180
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.519
<v Speaker 1>people talk about. I mean to look at this shit

181
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 1>you or Sanders stuff with the draft, Like there's just

182
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 1>certain things that that people gravity towards more to talk about,

183
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and no one's talking about you know, Dresser Wan or whatever,

184
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, his his our performance. Uh, you know, we

185
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.079
<v Speaker 1>might try to talk about attendance or kind of anything else.

186
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 1>So I think that that kind of goes into this. Well,

187
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 1>I think we've learned that. Let's pull up real quick

188
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 1>here just and we'll kind of round out the conversation.

189
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Mike Mitchell posted over on UFL news sub which I

190
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>did see Mark Perry got not be Mark Parry, but

191
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Mark Perry got cut from the Patriots. I had to

192
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>tweet at the UFL news stub damn. Obviously not the

193
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Saint Mark, but he appreciate it anyway. Over on UFL

194
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:22.519
<v Speaker 1>newstub dot com. First, I kind of you know, Mike's

195
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>first bite here your first half of the season, I

196
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>UFL incremental six.

197
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Percent er point six percent increase year every year.

198
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.799
<v Speaker 1>We did it, John, We have it down here. This

199
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 1>is a week five week five average fifteen thou one

200
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred in Birmingham. Yeah, I knew it wasn't quite that twelve.

201
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>They normally put out thirty in Saint Louis and then

202
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 1>Arlington and San Antonio. Excuse me, not a great San

203
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Antonio game. And then also not a great reward for

204
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>them to wait till week five to get a home game.

205
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk through all that, but anything stand out attendance

206
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.320
<v Speaker 1>here and this at the point six percent we've moved up.

207
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.159
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, any increase is good, I guess, but

208
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.480
<v Speaker 4>the fourteen thousand in San Antonio, that's a good sign.

209
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.759
<v Speaker 4>I'll and I'll tell you why because you brought up

210
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 4>a really good point. Before the season started, we talked

211
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.600
<v Speaker 4>about what happens that they have to wait till the

212
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 4>midway point of the season to get their first home game,

213
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:18.919
<v Speaker 4>and maybe this team's not very good, like how many

214
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 4>people are going to show up? But what we found

215
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.000
<v Speaker 4>out is Brahmas fans did show up for this game.

216
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 4>They finally you know, it was the first home game.

217
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 4>The question is how many people are going to show

218
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 4>up for the second home game if this continues, because

219
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.879
<v Speaker 4>when you get housed by Houston, you got problems. And

220
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:35.960
<v Speaker 4>I thought that this was a team that was going

221
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:37.679
<v Speaker 4>to be on the rise because of that win at

222
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 4>DC and you know, everything just seemed to be clicking

223
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.600
<v Speaker 4>and everybody was on this the Peyton party badwagon. I

224
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:47.759
<v Speaker 4>was too, and then this egg gets laid. So that's tough.

225
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.159
<v Speaker 4>But the good news is fourteen thousand people did wait

226
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 4>till the five weeks and did show up for the game.

227
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>A couple of things that not to be the pessimist,

228
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>but it is. You know, it is easy to front

229
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 1>load these games, right like, hey, first home game, first

230
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.559
<v Speaker 1>time first and whatever, you know, and then we do that,

231
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, because they've had all these announcements, if I

232
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, they have the mascot announcement, and you know,

233
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>they've been able to kind of push this.

234
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.559
<v Speaker 2>But you know, God bless them for doing that.

235
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.919
<v Speaker 1>I just to me, it's tough right now, you know

236
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>in Texas and I know that all these leagues compete whatever,

237
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.759
<v Speaker 1>but like you got the Dallas Stars in the you know,

238
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.879
<v Speaker 1>in the NHL playoffs. I'm like, I don't know if

239
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm san Antonio, like you know in my tracking MBA,

240
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>do I care? Like, I don't know, it's just a

241
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>weird sports demographic. And even when I've gone there for

242
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 1>work last I think it was like August September, I

243
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>talked with like my Uber drivers and people like, so.

244
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you watch spring football here?

245
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, not trying to be the mark, but

246
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>like what do you do in San Antonio?

247
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Do you watch this? Do you want to be considered that?

248
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 2>So it's a tough market.

249
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I feel good for the fourteen whatever one thousand, but

250
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I agree they got to you know, getting trounced by

251
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Houston isn't a great I look for your first.

252
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 4>Game well, and I will say too, we say this

253
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 4>every week. Fourteen thousand people were not there. Thirty thousand

254
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.759
<v Speaker 4>people were not in Saint Louis. Again, this is tickets distributed.

255
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.960
<v Speaker 4>But there were certain angles in that San Antonio game

256
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.960
<v Speaker 4>where sometimes it looked like it was sparse and other

257
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.679
<v Speaker 4>times it looked like there were a bunch of people.

258
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 4>So I don't know where they were sitting in regards

259
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker 4>to where the camera placements were, but it still was

260
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:18.120
<v Speaker 4>a good crowd no matter what.

261
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the uh, the album. Doome is like the biggest

262
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 2>state it It's.

263
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 3>Just like a massive again.

264
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Terrible and uh the funniest thing years. God, this was

265
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.320
<v Speaker 1>fifteen years ago, and I think when TNA was competed

266
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.279
<v Speaker 1>against WWE and they ran an Alamo Dome show and

267
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I always remember the screenshot of like the seeding chart

268
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and it was like, you know, the top right corner and.

269
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Like, I mean, just you know, Okay, I guess we

270
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:42.879
<v Speaker 2>can go in.

271
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 1>These two doors. Like, hey, but you played the Alamo Dome,

272
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, now, should you have done either or not?

273
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:50.840
<v Speaker 2>A couple of comments here where did you have something

274
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:51.159
<v Speaker 2>before you?

275
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

276
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 4>No, I was gonna I cover. Here's how old I am.

277
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 4>I covered the nineteen ninety eight final four there. I

278
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.799
<v Speaker 4>think it was ninety eight Final four. So if you

279
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.759
<v Speaker 4>think of football, you know, or or something like that

280
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:03.759
<v Speaker 4>looks small, wait till you put this. It looks like

281
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 4>a postage stamp, you know, basketball court.

282
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.919
<v Speaker 3>In the middle of the thing. It's just you know,

283
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 3>they do that with every Final four.

284
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they put in the basketball last year. Was it

285
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.039
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in Texas or one of those places it was?

286
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Didn't they put some in Jerry World or somewhere.

287
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.120
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yeah, they did. They had n cuaa tournament at

288
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 4>Jerry World. They've done you know, they do it at

289
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.799
<v Speaker 4>Lucas you know, Lucas Oil almost every year, like the

290
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.200
<v Speaker 4>at least you know, a regional or a final four.

291
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:31.200
<v Speaker 4>And I covered in Houston at whatever it's called now

292
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 4>NRG Stadium or whatever it was. I mean still, it's

293
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.879
<v Speaker 4>just it's incredible when you see when you're in this

294
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.759
<v Speaker 4>gigantic dome and you see a you know, a basketball

295
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 4>floor the court in the middle, it does it looks

296
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 4>like a posted stamp.

297
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

298
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

299
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 1>It was kind of like and we can talk Vegas

300
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>at the end if anyone wants to talk Vegas or WrestleMania.

301
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I didnt get back from WrestleMania, but it was like, yes,

302
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:51.279
<v Speaker 1>it was also like.

303
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Watching wrestling at Allegiant Stadium.

304
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>And I posted my because like spoiler alert, like I

305
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.600

306
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:00.840
<v Speaker 1>them for what I paid. You know, you post a

307

<v Speaker 1>photo and everyone's like, well, you're watching ants you go

309
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>mean unless you're the first ten rows that I mean,

310
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that's just how it is.

311
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.559
<v Speaker 2>A couple of comments here, I I got.

312
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>The one that I have to hear some about, uh oh,

313
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 1>some about the twilight out here we go, isn't it

314
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.440
<v Speaker 1>We're Houston and Memphis when the twilight?

315
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 3>Is that ever going to happen again the rest of

316
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 3>the season.

317
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited for that. Yes, Scott here, both of you

318
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 1>make UFLA so much fun. I appreciate that great. I

319
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 1>assume Mike here out for the ratings, Michael here, it

320
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:38.039
<v Speaker 1>was exciting for you. It was by the weekend and

321
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 1>then just a couple and I agree with all this.

322
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 1>This year, Scott, they need to started the weeknd season earlier.

323
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:47.399
<v Speaker 1>I agree, I agree, I agree because now, I mean

324
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>this is a whole Temple week. I mean it's all

325
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:51.879
<v Speaker 1>the time, it's every week or something. But you know,

326
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:53.919
<v Speaker 1>now you got the Stanley Cup playoffs and kind of

327
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 1>everything else. I do give credit where it's do ESPN

328
00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>red hello ufl ads during their draft coverage, Abdul saying,

329
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I'll say asterisk Friday night, a lintialle draft rains were

330
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:04.559
<v Speaker 1>up forty percent.

331
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I agree with all that.

332
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 3>That's a good call.

333
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then this was just with you and we'll

334
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:08.840
<v Speaker 2>get to the games.

335
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.159
<v Speaker 1>I promise it's not because the attendance numbers are higher,

336
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:12.799
<v Speaker 1>but she needs some more empty seats.

337
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I said, I think they're picking up. I'm like,

338
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.360
<v Speaker 2>let's just hand out some more tickets.

339
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's just go strim me them out. We'll just say

340
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I got five hundred tickets. I'm going to go down

341
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.679
<v Speaker 1>to the ball I'm going to give them out. I'm

342
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>going to go door to the door. I saw someone

343
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.399
<v Speaker 1>the other day, like our nest camera rang. Someone was

344
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>like taking a photo of our house.

345
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, are you are you coming back to try.

346
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 1>To buy I don't you know, just go hand out stuff,

347
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.600
<v Speaker 1>just go sure, Hey, I handled all this stuff. Uh yeah,

348
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>there you go. The all football digest hums couldn't get

349
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:46.279
<v Speaker 1>you four uh no, and uh knowing what I spent

350
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and then hearing what other people spent for us many tickets.

351
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.159
<v Speaker 1>They had an interview with Randy Orton where fans said

352
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.399
<v Speaker 1>that they spent thirty thousand dollars on tickets, so it

353
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 1>was their first Oh my god, Yeah, I knew a guy,

354
00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 1>or I knew a guy. I talked to a guy

355
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.279
<v Speaker 1>at the airport. They spent sixty five hundred and their

356
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>ticket broker came up with nothing, so like, I mean, wow,

357
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 1>it's uh yeah, it gets crazy, but yeah no, no,

358
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.879
<v Speaker 1>the All Football Ties ups did not get on that.

359
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.480
<v Speaker 2>So let's go here. First off, did I do this right? Yes?

360
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 2>We will go to week.

361
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Five, Friday night here at the Memphis show Boats upset

362
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:25.159
<v Speaker 1>the Birmingham Stallions at home. I thought, excuse me, I

363
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 1>thought this was a great win. I uh texted you,

364
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I go, I think dresser win on a random Friday

365
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>night in Birmingham. It's like already, like I called him,

366
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.759
<v Speaker 1>big dick, dresser Win.

367
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you can swing that thing around in Memphis.

368
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you would hit too many fans

369
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>in Birmingham a few more, John, this was a great game.

370
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:49.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean Birmingham had two losses on the year. Did

371
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.480
<v Speaker 1>they lose last week when I was in WrestleMania.

372
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 3>Trying to remember that last loss?

373
00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Was it's all come up with, James, what did you

374
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.679
<v Speaker 1>mean this? This was a great one. I was very exciting,

375
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 1>came down to you know, came down the end.

376
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.360
<v Speaker 4>It was you know what was incredible. It's like it

377
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:09.879
<v Speaker 4>was eleven nothing at one Well, yeah, the first quarter,

378
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:11.559
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, wait a minute, what is going on, and

379
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.720
<v Speaker 4>as we all had suspected in their future, Odds had

380
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:20.039
<v Speaker 4>the longest play from scrimmage was we know, okay, oh

381
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:20.799
<v Speaker 4>there you go, there you go.

382
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 2>I've been gone like two weeks and this is like.

383
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:29.360
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't I barely remember. But yeah, I mean, as

384
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 4>we all had in our futures, Odds, the longest play

385
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:34.279
<v Speaker 4>from scrimmage was Dresser Win to Dee Anderson. That was

386
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.320
<v Speaker 4>going to be the longest play from scrimmage in the UFL.

387
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.799
<v Speaker 4>But man, you know he it was when I saw

388
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 4>that Dresser Wind was going to be the starting quarterback

389
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:44.759
<v Speaker 4>and like, okay, well this is just desperation.

390
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:46.159
<v Speaker 3>They're just gonna try anything.

391
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 4>But uh, you know our guy Pat Raffino, analyze and educated,

392
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:52.799
<v Speaker 4>who's always in the comments here, he's been on Dresser

393
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.559
<v Speaker 4>Win for a while, and I thought he played a

394
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.080
<v Speaker 4>tremendous game. And it was just so funny that they

395
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:01.039
<v Speaker 4>went in overtime and they are like, oh you know,

396
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:03.600
<v Speaker 4>and Jenny Taft I think she was doing sidelines is

397
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.519
<v Speaker 4>Dresser win And you could not tell if he had

398
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 4>won the game or lost the game. Uh, he was

399
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.079
<v Speaker 4>kind of glib, and he was, you know, very calm,

400
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.400
<v Speaker 4>but man, it's just it is incredible to see like

401
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 4>what what Memphis did. Now, are they going to the postseason?

402
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:18.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so.

403
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

404
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.480
<v Speaker 4>But also Birmingham kind of shot themselves in the foot.

405
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.359
<v Speaker 4>There was some really bad miscommunication with the coaching staff

406
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 4>on a super challenge. That is just there were a

407
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.079
<v Speaker 4>lot of things that were unstallions like. But I don't

408
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.960
<v Speaker 4>want to take anything away from the way Memphis really

409
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:35.359
<v Speaker 4>showed up and played at Birmingham.

410
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I mean it looked like a totally different team.

411
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean really it was fun.

412
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Again.

413
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's when we talked about the top with

414
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.200
<v Speaker 1>these TV ratings and everyone and turn them on and

415
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, you got to have some action here going

416
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.599
<v Speaker 1>and hey Memphis, immediately we got kick returns and putting

417
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.279
<v Speaker 1>up it just it just was, uh, it's really what

418
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you want the UFL to be, I think, not to

419
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.880
<v Speaker 1>be uh, not to be in the total shill here

420
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>for the UFL. Now, here's a good point, jud Jackson,

421
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:01.759
<v Speaker 1>And when had the advantage of being in an unknown

422
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:03.960
<v Speaker 1>See you get that in the CFL all the time

423
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 1>where they'll play who was that we had the dustin Crumb,

424
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:08.920
<v Speaker 1>We had like Crumb sanity, and it was like, oh

425
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 1>my god, I think I think it took like two

426
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.039
<v Speaker 1>or three weeks and then the CFL defense is.

427
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Really shut him down, you know, so we'll see I mean.

428
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:18.880
<v Speaker 1>The backup quarterback or the third string or what you know,

429
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:20.960
<v Speaker 1>it's always a favorite until you.

430
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:22.799
<v Speaker 2>Know you well go for it.

431
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're right about that. But the

432
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.839
<v Speaker 4>good thing for this and for Dresser Win is this

433
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.039
<v Speaker 4>is a very short season. They are only five games left.

434
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.160
<v Speaker 4>It's a ten game season. It's gonna it's gonna take

435
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.559
<v Speaker 4>these guys some time to figure these things out. But

436
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:36.359
<v Speaker 4>it is a good point. He came in as an

437
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.480
<v Speaker 4>unknown and they really didn't know, you know, what his

438
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.759
<v Speaker 4>total skill set was. And they also probably weren't prepared

439
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.160
<v Speaker 4>for a kick six from Isaiah Handy.

440
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:46.519
<v Speaker 3>That went hundred and eight yards either.

441
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Uh, but you know, no excited that. What did you

442
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.960
<v Speaker 1>think of kiss Cookus? I found it was funny they

443
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:54.079
<v Speaker 1>were talking, and you know, I was thinking about this

444
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.079
<v Speaker 1>as well. And if I was Kiss Cucus, I would

445
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:57.079
<v Speaker 1>probably hate the UFL.

446
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:58.680
<v Speaker 2>They made him get married.

447
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm broken leg and then I forgot The next year

448
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:03.839
<v Speaker 1>he came back and then he lost his wedding ring

449
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:06.599
<v Speaker 1>playing the usfl right, and now he you know, now

450
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.039
<v Speaker 1>he's with the Stallions, and I mean, like god, I mean,

451
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:10.200
<v Speaker 1>can this guy catch your break?

452
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 2>How did the how's case cook Us do for this end?

453
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:12.799
<v Speaker 3>Well?

454
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:14.920
<v Speaker 4>I felt like he struggled there. I mean he kind

455
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.119
<v Speaker 4>he started to look like Case cook Us a little

456
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 4>bit more in the fourth quarter. But you know by

457
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.319
<v Speaker 4>that time you don't let you don't let Dresser win

458
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 4>and Memphis hang around.

459
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.079
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I think he struggled a little bit. You could.

460
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:29.400
<v Speaker 4>There was a lot of frustration from skip Holtz, uh,

461
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, with cook Us and and with that offense,

462
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:35.119
<v Speaker 4>and rightfully so yeah, I mean you're looking there at

463
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:35.640
<v Speaker 4>the stats.

464
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was those stats.

465
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:40.599
<v Speaker 4>You know, on paper it looks all right, but you

466
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.599
<v Speaker 4>know then you look up at Dresser Win there, you know,

467
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:46.160
<v Speaker 4>two hundred and thirty five yards. It was Yeah, there

468
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:48.440
<v Speaker 4>was a lot of frustration from skip Holtz, and I

469
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:50.079
<v Speaker 4>we've seen we've seen a little bit.

470
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:50.319
<v Speaker 3>More of that.

471
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.240
<v Speaker 4>It felt like this season so far, in the first

472
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.160
<v Speaker 4>five games, but it was like really like at a

473
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.240
<v Speaker 4>head there in the in this fifth game.

474
00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>You think that skip Holtz is seeing like all these

475
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.759
<v Speaker 1>other worst quarterbacks get jaw or not quarterbacks other worst

476
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:06.079
<v Speaker 1>like coaches in coordinated and I'm not worth but like

477
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:09.079
<v Speaker 1>ones that have had less success than the UFL than him,

478
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:11.839
<v Speaker 1>get all of these wonderful johnted these skips just like

479
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:13.799
<v Speaker 1>that my life here.

480
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.440
<v Speaker 3>I gotta like, what did I do? But yeah, but

481
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.839
<v Speaker 3>you know it. They're Memphis.

482
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:24.279
<v Speaker 4>Memphis did make some mistakes in this game, but Birmingham

483
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:26.319
<v Speaker 4>just felt like they never they never took advantage. It

484
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.400
<v Speaker 4>just it they just I don't this could This was

485
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:33.319
<v Speaker 4>probably an anomaly for for for Birmingham. But but yeah,

486
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:35.359
<v Speaker 4>you're right, and you gotta think skip Holtz is sitting

487
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.880
<v Speaker 4>there saying, look, look, you know, I'm just supposed to

488
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 4>be the favorite. We're supposed to be the favorite. And

489
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.799
<v Speaker 4>this happens at home and and of course, you know,

490
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:46.039
<v Speaker 4>a lower crowd and people it's like, oh, well, there

491
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.279
<v Speaker 4>are the thunderstorms in the area. It's like, okay, this

492
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.000
<v Speaker 4>is going to happen in spring and Alabama. How many

493
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.160
<v Speaker 4>times can we start using that excuse? Well, there were

494
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:56.960
<v Speaker 4>thunderstorms over this. I even said something about it one week.

495
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.079
<v Speaker 4>So enough, like you show up for this team and

496
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:02.799
<v Speaker 4>watched them win they've delivered you three championships.

497
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Now I'll come and then I got a couple of

498
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:07.680
<v Speaker 2>you here. We'll get to that as well.

499
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Crowds of Birmingham offenses by far the most inconsistent they've

500
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 1>been the last four years.

501
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.920
<v Speaker 4>Grid Iron Coasters, well, no question. And they've had quarterback

502
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.160
<v Speaker 4>issues too. It's like, you know, you had Kraal getting

503
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.440
<v Speaker 4>hurt and Magoo getting hurt, yet case cook is coming

504
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:22.240
<v Speaker 4>in call it yeah, but.

505
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:23.400
<v Speaker 3>You're right, that is true.

506
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.160
<v Speaker 1>And here with Joe Cuckis has cubedilias diehards wanted to

507
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.759
<v Speaker 1>prinees pretend he's Jesus. Well, that was a lot of

508
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 1>their offense with him scrambled and getting blown up like

509
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.839
<v Speaker 1>he always does, Oh my god, like lay down, like

510
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:39.799
<v Speaker 1>just go, you know, I mean that was the fear

511
00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:41.480
<v Speaker 1>of that. I mean, as as some of the had

512
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Jane Daniels, oh my god, he's gonna.

513
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Run and get blow up. Cuckas is out there just getting.

514
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.720
<v Speaker 4>The offensive line in Memphis last year was horrific. And

515
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.319
<v Speaker 4>that's why I was surprised number one that he came back,

516
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:58.039
<v Speaker 4>and number two it was Birmingham, and even there, I

517
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:00.839
<v Speaker 4>think it was in that broadcast that they said that

518
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:04.240
<v Speaker 4>when he talked to Skepolsi, He's like, listen, I you

519
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:06.599
<v Speaker 4>know you can come here. You're not going to start,

520
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.720
<v Speaker 4>but uh, it just felt like case Cooks could probably

521
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 4>start for a lot of teams. Now, would he want

522
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.480
<v Speaker 4>to go to Houston? Probably not, but uh, yeah, but

523
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:17.839
<v Speaker 4>you're right. I'm just kind of surprised that he came back.

524
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:21.319
<v Speaker 1>Delius says, did you not know, John, when it rains

525
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.559
<v Speaker 1>in Birmingham, the people in their body mouths sugar.

526
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

527
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I know we talked a lot about the Birmingham Attendants

528
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:30.519
<v Speaker 1>and all that, but yeah, I mean, I it's like, God,

529
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:31.079
<v Speaker 1>it's your ful.

530
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:32.319
<v Speaker 2>I just don't. I don't.

531
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know some of these It's it's hard. Uh,

532
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.519
<v Speaker 1>it's I don't know. We talked all about this. I

533
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.359
<v Speaker 1>think the USFL did demonstrable and unrepaarable damage to some

534
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:44.680
<v Speaker 1>of these markets, and it's, uh, it's kind of confusing

535
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:47.079
<v Speaker 1>to me. King any comments on that. Let me see

536
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>what King William pass here. No.

537
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:50.400
<v Speaker 3>I think you're right.

538
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:52.960
<v Speaker 4>I think there's gonna have to be some some tough

539
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:55.359
<v Speaker 4>conversations here after the season.

540
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:57.160
<v Speaker 3>And maybe Birmingham is part of that.

541
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:00.839
<v Speaker 4>Conversation, but obviously, yeah, Memphis and Houston there there's gonna

542
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:02.599
<v Speaker 4>have to be some talks. And you know, we talk

543
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:04.880
<v Speaker 4>a lot about expansion because you know what that that

544
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:06.640
<v Speaker 4>cranks it out and gets interest.

545
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.680
<v Speaker 3>As it should because it's something new.

546
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 4>But I also think that you've got to shore up

547
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:14.000
<v Speaker 4>what's gonna happen with these other two teams, and and

548
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:16.839
<v Speaker 4>you know, maybe it's more of relocation than expansion in

549
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.960
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty six.

550
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Real quick.

551
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:25.160
<v Speaker 1>And so the CFL announced last Monday sometime their new commissioner,

552
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:26.880
<v Speaker 1>what's his name, Stuart.

553
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Johnson, right, And you know there had been.

554
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Long i mean shoot for since Team nine and you know,

555
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:34.880
<v Speaker 1>since all the other teams and everything have come and

556
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.079
<v Speaker 1>the CFL has have people move and you know, like

557
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.160
<v Speaker 1>there was two rough riders.

558
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:39.200
<v Speaker 2>For a while.

559
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm afure you know more about the CFL history than

560
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I do. But he came out first off and said

561
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 1>expansion was not a priority to him to get to

562
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:48.400
<v Speaker 1>ten teams at all, that he wanted to shore up,

563
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:51.440
<v Speaker 1>listen to the markets, talk to the teams, talk to

564
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:53.319
<v Speaker 1>the staff, talk to the you know a lot of

565
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. But he said expansion was not

566
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:58.640
<v Speaker 1>anywhere near the top of the list for him. Obviously,

567
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:01.319
<v Speaker 1>UFL is in a different many different things. But like,

568
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:03.839
<v Speaker 1>I think you need to come up a place of

569
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:05.880
<v Speaker 1>strength if you want to expand, and not if you

570
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:07.839
<v Speaker 1>looked at the CFL back in the eighties, you know

571
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 1>they expanded to the US out of desperation. I think

572
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 1>you want to expand, you know, look at the NFL,

573
00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:15.200
<v Speaker 1>or we're expanding because we have all this to offer

574
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that oh my gosh.

575
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.200
<v Speaker 2>We need franchise money or we need more. You know,

576
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 2>we got to get people involved in this.

577
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:22.839
<v Speaker 4>The Birmingham mad Dogs and the Baltimore Stables. Actually the

578
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:25.200
<v Speaker 4>Baltimore Stallions won a Great Cup so that that actually

579
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.480
<v Speaker 4>did work out for the US part, not so much

580
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 4>for the Canadian part. But but yeah, you're right. I mean,

581
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:33.920
<v Speaker 4>you know you talked about this, and we've talked about

582
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 4>this before with expansion, is you want to show signs

583
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:40.119
<v Speaker 4>of growth. But to do that, you, like you said,

584
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:43.000
<v Speaker 4>some of these weaker franchises and markets.

585
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:44.440
<v Speaker 3>We got to figure this out.

586
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:46.799
<v Speaker 1>A couple of just quick comments here, I don't want

587
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to do too deep dive on the attendance. Well, we'll

588
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:51.640
<v Speaker 1>finish the Stallions game here in the little move one.

589
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:54.680
<v Speaker 1>It's convenient thing for me. Cities where you're struggling, why

590
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:56.559
<v Speaker 1>don't you bring the Rock in? Well, I'll tell you

591
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.880
<v Speaker 1>right now, if you're coming out to WrestleMania, the Rock

592
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>is persona non grap right now. And I think people

593
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I think the rock stock is is at least in

594
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the realm of like we my mom, I would you know,

595
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:11.119
<v Speaker 1>my mom is like a casual, I would say, in

596
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.279
<v Speaker 1>the realm of people that follow the Rock and his

597
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:16.279
<v Speaker 1>trying to take over after WrestleMania and he wasn't there

598
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and then it was all my idea.

599
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to.

600
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Like, rock Stock is very low right now. I think

601
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:24.079
<v Speaker 1>the UFL is probably better just utilizing Fox and ESPN

602
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:26.319
<v Speaker 1>talent to work on that right now. Greg Parks has

603
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:27.880
<v Speaker 1>said that a lot. I don't think the Rocks made

604
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a difference, and especially not right now.

605
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.599
<v Speaker 4>Well, and I also wonder too, like if he's not

606
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:35.599
<v Speaker 4>involved right now, like is he going to be involved

607
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:38.480
<v Speaker 4>next year? Because you look at fifty percent of this

608
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:42.839
<v Speaker 4>league is owned by him, Danny Garcia and Redbird Capital,

609
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:46.319
<v Speaker 4>so they're they're part owners of fifty percent, Like is

610
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:47.720
<v Speaker 4>he going to drop? And you know, I don't know

611
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:50.000
<v Speaker 4>how they've split that up, you know, between themselves for

612
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:52.839
<v Speaker 4>that half. Uh, But yeah, I do. I do wonder

613
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:55.720
<v Speaker 4>about the future of the ownership in the whole league.

614
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:57.720
<v Speaker 2>And then the last thing here, John Johnson.

615
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:01.400
<v Speaker 1>There's always rumors of a buyer from MPIs the whole time,

616
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and it's never like this what And I'm not uh

617
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:09.799
<v Speaker 1>critiquing Mike Mitchell's reporting that, you know, the people that

618
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:11.920
<v Speaker 1>they were trying. I'm sure they have all these intentions

619
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:14.200
<v Speaker 1>to do whatever, but like it's in the pot. We've

620
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:15.799
<v Speaker 1>talked about this before. What are you buying with the

621
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Memphis show boats? Like what I mean, what is There's nothing,

622
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:19.720
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing to buy.

623
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 4>It's like the whole it's the whole system. It's like

624
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.599
<v Speaker 4>if you're you know, the idea for the USFL in

625
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:27.880
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty two, and maybe this is for the UFL

626
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.640
<v Speaker 4>in twenty twenty five, was to franchise these out to owners.

627
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.680
<v Speaker 4>But what product you have right now there now if

628
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.920
<v Speaker 4>you're in Saint Louis, Yeah, maybe, but that's the outlier.

629
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:37.799
<v Speaker 3>You can't keep that.

630
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:40.880
<v Speaker 4>You can't keep comparing the entire league and trying to

631
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:43.279
<v Speaker 4>hang it on Saint Louis.

632
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I just feel any other commentary now, let's move on.

633
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Anything else.

634
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 1>You have anything else with Birmingham, anything with that, we

635
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>want to touch you before we get to.

636
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.319
<v Speaker 2>The big you know, the big brawl. But anything else

637
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:53.920
<v Speaker 2>from this game.

638
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:57.200
<v Speaker 4>Uh No, I mean I I think Birmingham they got

639
00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 4>to be kind of poised here for a bounce back

640
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.160
<v Speaker 4>because that this just felt like an anomaly. Some some

641
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:05.680
<v Speaker 4>Unburningham things happened in this game. So you know, we'll

642
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:07.599
<v Speaker 4>see how how they do bounce back from that.

643
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, and like I think even on the broadcast, Oh

644
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:12.400
<v Speaker 1>so you know, it's a short week. I'm like, all

645
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:14.920
<v Speaker 1>these teams and you're busting and you're flying and you're

646
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:16.920
<v Speaker 1>on the sand, Like I don't I don't know if

647
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:20.240
<v Speaker 1>playing on Friday, yors. Yes, I'm sure obviously you know

648
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:22.839
<v Speaker 1>it makes the difference. But I think that sometimes with that,

649
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:25.680
<v Speaker 1>let's get to so this and then we'll talk the

650
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.279
<v Speaker 1>game and then we'll talk the virality of it afterwards.

651
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.319
<v Speaker 1>But Ballocks come out here and this was this was

652
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:39.160
<v Speaker 1>a very high scoring game. This was a very contentious game.

653
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Max Duggan, it felt like just ran and ran and

654
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:45.200
<v Speaker 1>kept running and just would just run over people. I

655
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:49.119
<v Speaker 1>thought this was a tremendous game. I think people were

656
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:51.039
<v Speaker 1>saying the DC game might be game of the year.

657
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:53.440
<v Speaker 1>But for my money, I like this a lot.

658
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:54.480
<v Speaker 2>What was your What was your?

659
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:57.000
<v Speaker 3>I thought this was the best game of the season.

660
00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:58.359
<v Speaker 3>I just think yeah.

661
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:01.279
<v Speaker 4>And some people might look at Max Duggan's passing line

662
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:03.160
<v Speaker 4>there and say like, oh, that, you know, what was that?

663
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.200
<v Speaker 4>But if you didn't watch that game, I mean you

664
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:09.240
<v Speaker 4>really missed out because he started to do things and

665
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:11.839
<v Speaker 4>the announcers even made, you know, made the comment, this

666
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.319
<v Speaker 4>is the TCU Max Duggan, Like, this is what we saw.

667
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.160
<v Speaker 4>This is why he was a Heisman runner up. I

668
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.720
<v Speaker 4>had questions after he replaced Manny Wilkins after Wilkins went

669
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:23.759
<v Speaker 4>out with the achilles injury, which is just still that

670
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 4>just brutal. And he came in, he was a little

671
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:29.359
<v Speaker 4>bit shaky, he was under a lot of pressure pass rush.

672
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:31.839
<v Speaker 4>But then he comes out in this game against a

673
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.640
<v Speaker 4>very good Michigan team. I mean, there's no question Michigan

674
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 4>is one of the classes of the of the USFL conference.

675
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.519
<v Speaker 4>And just what he did and what this Saint Louis

676
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:46.559
<v Speaker 4>BattleHawks team did and Michigan was going toe to toe.

677
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:50.440
<v Speaker 4>I really hope that this Bryce Perkins needs to say

678
00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:53.599
<v Speaker 4>the starting quarterback, not the starting not just the starting quarterback,

679
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.240
<v Speaker 4>but this two quarterback systems got to go because man,

680
00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 4>Bryce Perkins was the man. He just kept answering the

681
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:01.599
<v Speaker 4>bell and answering the bell. And honestly, I think what

682
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:04.160
<v Speaker 4>lost this game was Mike Nolan putting in Danny Ettley,

683
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.119
<v Speaker 4>who who dearly who did throw an interception and nearly

684
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:12.519
<v Speaker 4>threw another one. So it's just but again, this was

685
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 4>all Saint Louis like, this was this was some absolute

686
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.079
<v Speaker 4>you know, even breaking out the uh. I think it

687
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:21.240
<v Speaker 4>was like the you know, like kind of a half

688
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:25.519
<v Speaker 4>back pass. Uh, Hakeem Butler obviously makes this team, you know,

689
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:28.160
<v Speaker 4>one hundred percent better. Uh So I think that's what

690
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:31.599
<v Speaker 4>we really saw. We saw a full strength, confident team

691
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:35.240
<v Speaker 4>at home. And as you said, I mean, this was this,

692
00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:37.400
<v Speaker 4>this was made for TV. This It's too bad this

693
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:38.720
<v Speaker 4>one wasn't at prime time.

694
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:41.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to pull up my next thing here. Sorry

695
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.160
<v Speaker 2>it was pan defession.

696
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh no that uh and and I I hope ratings,

697
00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:48.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, fall from this and top obviously going up

698
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:50.079
<v Speaker 1>against the Saturday.

699
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:53.279
<v Speaker 2>I I I like, I.

700
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Was looking at the standings here and obviously the BattleHawks

701
00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:59.519
<v Speaker 1>won this game, but it felt to me like at

702
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 1>some point the Panthers had one. I like the USFL Conference,

703
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:05.119
<v Speaker 1>like feeling like they matter a little bit.

704
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I like some of these teams, you know. I like

705
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:09.279
<v Speaker 2>the Panthers being good even if though they lost. I

706
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:12.680
<v Speaker 2>like them looking like they have some momentum there. Same

707
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:13.119
<v Speaker 2>with the show.

708
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:15.240
<v Speaker 1>But so that was kind of my takeaway at least,

709
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and that was, you know, the USFL Conference lost that

710
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:20.920
<v Speaker 1>one against the stallt or the BattleHawks Los Mallhawks, but

711
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:24.079
<v Speaker 1>I just liked them being relevant. I like Mike Nolan,

712
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:26.359
<v Speaker 1>he was good at the interview. I just there was

713
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:27.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this game to take away I.

714
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Thought was good.

715
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:31.720
<v Speaker 4>Uh and the broadcast takeaway from this other than you know,

716
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:34.440
<v Speaker 4>King Butler being a potty mouth, which was pretty funny.

717
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.240
<v Speaker 3>That was I laughed hard on that one. King Kim

718
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:37.720
<v Speaker 3>is right.

719
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:41.440
<v Speaker 4>But you know, with Mike Nolan on the headset well,

720
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:45.160
<v Speaker 4>although at the time Jacob Sailors was absolutely just ripping

721
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:47.880
<v Speaker 4>his defense, but he continued to talk to the announcers

722
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.960
<v Speaker 4>live Seneca Wallace when they were talking to him. As

723
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:53.799
<v Speaker 4>you know, Max Duggan was making his drive. It's like

724
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:56.599
<v Speaker 4>watching film room, except it's live, and it's just I

725
00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:59.680
<v Speaker 4>just to me that aspect of the game, if they

726
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:02.440
<v Speaker 4>can get these coaches to do these things, is a

727
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:05.359
<v Speaker 4>lot more valuable as a viewer to me than when

728
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:07.440
<v Speaker 4>they run over and try to you know, talk to

729
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:09.440
<v Speaker 4>a player who's just come off the field. I mean

730
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:12.880
<v Speaker 4>that stuff is fun too, but to me, that's valuables

731
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:16.039
<v Speaker 4>as a viewer to hear those coaches and tell you

732
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:18.200
<v Speaker 4>what's going on. Or when they talk to the backup

733
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:21.160
<v Speaker 4>quarterback and he's starting to talk about, well, here's what

734
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:23.599
<v Speaker 4>we're going to do here, this is what he's looking for.

735
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:27.079
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's like it that's like some football one

736
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:27.680
<v Speaker 4>oh one stuff.

737
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:28.559
<v Speaker 3>I really enjoyed that.

738
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I was just going to say that that is my

739
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>favorite thing when they have the backup quarterback there, because

740
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:36.720
<v Speaker 1>not only is it like also you're trying to get

741
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to kind of get these players known, right, So maybe

742
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you do have two quarterbacks where they are seeing, you know,

743
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.039
<v Speaker 1>more equal time, but then maybe you have one where

744
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:47.039
<v Speaker 1>they're not seeing the field. And I think it's great.

745
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:52.359
<v Speaker 1>I think it gives them just yeah, far more usable

746
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:54.960
<v Speaker 1>than the like, yeah, destroying running off the field after

747
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:58.440
<v Speaker 1>missing the field goal or whatever. What do you think

748
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:00.920
<v Speaker 1>about it? I texted you and Anthony and they were

749
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>talking to Anthony they.

750
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Gave up something. He's just like, he's like thanks, guys.

751
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.200
<v Speaker 4>He was it was not going well at that time.

752
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:12.279
<v Speaker 4>But uh, yeah, no, I thought that was great. And

753
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.480
<v Speaker 4>it was interesting that what when Danny Etling went out

754
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:18.480
<v Speaker 4>after Bryce Perkins was absolutely on fire led him to

755
00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:22.640
<v Speaker 4>a touchdown that you know, I think who They were

756
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:25.680
<v Speaker 4>talking to him to Bryce Perkins and it was kind

757
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:27.759
<v Speaker 4>of like, well, how do you feel? You know have

758
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, you just had this great drive, You're on fire.

759
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:34.000
<v Speaker 4>And he was completely political, you know, right down the

760
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:35.960
<v Speaker 4>line about it, as he should be. But it's like

761
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 4>you just got to control what you can control. You

762
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:40.319
<v Speaker 4>could tell he wasn't happy because he was.

763
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 3>The hot hand. And then Antling went in there and

764
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:42.599
<v Speaker 3>kind of blew it.

765
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:47.319
<v Speaker 1>So, yeah, so what do you make so they lost?

766
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Moving forward?

767
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:48.680
<v Speaker 3>What do you make?

768
00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:50.640
<v Speaker 1>And then and then we'll talk through the Nicku stuff here,

769
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.759
<v Speaker 1>but what do you what do the Panthers do moving forwar?

770
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Because you said that they kind of gave the game

771
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:55.400
<v Speaker 1>away because of that decision.

772
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:58.200
<v Speaker 4>I felt like that was the decision that that lost

773
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:00.519
<v Speaker 4>it for them, and I agree with my I mean,

774
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:03.319
<v Speaker 4>sometimes Nolan does make some questionable decisions. It's almost like,

775
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, we talked about this too. It's like in

776
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:10.359
<v Speaker 4>the NFL you can't run a two quarterback system. In

777
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:12.839
<v Speaker 4>the UFL, you can give them a little more leeway

778
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.440
<v Speaker 4>because there are a couple of things at play. There

779
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:18.079
<v Speaker 4>are trying to win games, and they are trying to

780
00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:20.640
<v Speaker 4>get these guys better and then move to the next level.

781
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:23.720
<v Speaker 4>But at some point when this happens, and you can't

782
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:25.599
<v Speaker 4>be stubborn and stick to that game plan. Now, Mike

783
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:27.599
<v Speaker 4>Nolan has coached and won a lot more games than

784
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:29.799
<v Speaker 4>I have, so but I just have to think that

785
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:33.079
<v Speaker 4>the Bryce Perkins, you know, or the the Danny Etling

786
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:36.440
<v Speaker 4>Bryce Perkins experiment, Like, no matter what happens, it's gonna

787
00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:40.160
<v Speaker 4>be Bryce. Then then then Danny Etlin goes in. I think,

788
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:42.160
<v Speaker 4>to me, that's got to end.

789
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I they need to.

790
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:47.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this goes back to everything, but they need

791
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:48.599
<v Speaker 1>to establish this league.

792
00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:49.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just winning and it's important.

793
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't say like what we have to develop, or

794
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:54.359
<v Speaker 1>we have to do or we have to like as

795
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:56.319
<v Speaker 1>someone that you know watches a ton of hockey and

796
00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:58.680
<v Speaker 1>we have a really great minor league team in Coachella

797
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:01.400
<v Speaker 1>like this and guy up when they're ready to go

798
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 1>and play, you know, and you said, like as a propers,

799
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm explaining how like you know, like pharmacystems

800
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:10.119
<v Speaker 1>were like how it should work, and I just can't

801
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:12.239
<v Speaker 1>stand that. Yeah, ever, any idea of like, well we

802
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:13.800
<v Speaker 1>could have won and we couldn't have won, but yeah,

803
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:15.719
<v Speaker 1>we had to make sure we got an equal playing

804
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>time were like, then that's what this league is, or

805
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:21.159
<v Speaker 1>it's not that I can't have game decisions we made

806
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 1>on that.

807
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:23.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I agreed.

808
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:26.159
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's at this point, especially now, you know,

809
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:29.440
<v Speaker 4>if you're Houston or Memphis, you know, like with Memphis,

810
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.880
<v Speaker 4>let's put in our third string guy and see what happens.

811
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:34.800
<v Speaker 4>We saw what happens. And I don't think the nation

812
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.880
<v Speaker 4>is talking about dress or wind, but we certainly are.

813
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, bed transformed. So let's talk through.

814
00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk through a little Maddie, Marty Fresh here, let's

815
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.000
<v Speaker 1>talk to you. I wasn't clear really even when this

816
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:50.079
<v Speaker 1>was posted, Like I don't even know if like.

817
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:52.679
<v Speaker 2>He recorded, It's like a screen. I don't know where

818
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:53.360
<v Speaker 2>this came from.

819
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:56.159
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, I just saw this, but I don't know

820
00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:57.679
<v Speaker 4>where it came from, right, correct?

821
00:34:57.800 --> 00:34:59.119
<v Speaker 3>So just.

822
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:02.599
<v Speaker 1>I have made fun of a lot for like talking

823
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:05.639
<v Speaker 1>about your inalistic standards in here, but could you please

824
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:08.079
<v Speaker 1>next time you're gonna post a viral clip, take the

825
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:09.519
<v Speaker 1>two seconds like maybe he.

826
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Recorded it, but I don't, I don't, I don't know.

827
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:13.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what was Marty at the game, like

828
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I don't know it was in Saint Louis.

829
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I know he's anyway, you see it was Samson Nicola right,

830
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:24.079
<v Speaker 1>brother brother of here right right, obviously a known name

831
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:27.039
<v Speaker 1>engaging for you. He was the parents engaging with.

832
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:28.119
<v Speaker 2>The Battahawks fan here.

833
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh I'll have my thoughts and the mena but curious

834
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:32.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of your thoughts on this, John because this kind

835
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:34.559
<v Speaker 1>of went everywhere, and this seemed like it was one

836
00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:36.320
<v Speaker 1>of the talking points coming out of the weekend.

837
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:39.559
<v Speaker 4>Well, uh as Abdul said. Darryl Johnson said he wanted

838
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:40.199
<v Speaker 4>the viral moment.

839
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:40.920
<v Speaker 3>He got it there.

840
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:44.119
<v Speaker 4>But I will say, and some people were saying that

841
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:47.440
<v Speaker 4>he was trying to knock the guy's hat off. It

842
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:51.159
<v Speaker 4>doesn't matter like you you don't touch a fan. And

843
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:53.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I don't know

844
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:57.360
<v Speaker 4>what the fan said. I've heard different things, but like

845
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:01.239
<v Speaker 4>you're just nothing good come out of this. And so

846
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:04.480
<v Speaker 4>if I'm his teammate rather than over there laughing at

847
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:06.320
<v Speaker 4>the guy or saying something, I'm trying to take my

848
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:10.519
<v Speaker 4>teammate away and get him out of this situation. And

849
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:14.519
<v Speaker 4>that's just I do wonder, you know, the UFL. Finally,

850
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:16.039
<v Speaker 4>I think there was so much attention on it, the

851
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:19.360
<v Speaker 4>UFL had to They had put out a statement said

852
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:21.840
<v Speaker 4>we're aware and we're investigating, which you know was kind

853
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:23.440
<v Speaker 4>of a non statement, but they had to at least

854
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:26.440
<v Speaker 4>acknowledge it. So I don't know what's going to happen

855
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:28.360
<v Speaker 4>with him. I was just really surprised when I saw

856
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:29.760
<v Speaker 4>when I saw this video.

857
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and also, please don't copyright Streika because I can't

858
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:36.559
<v Speaker 2>come two weeks hopefully.

859
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:39.639
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, no, they put out and I have it here,

860
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:43.400
<v Speaker 1>which you fell dos to comment on a lot. So

861
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:45.159
<v Speaker 1>it's good to get a comment on it because they're

862
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:48.519
<v Speaker 1>a tight lip sometimes don't talk about further usage rights,

863
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:51.599
<v Speaker 1>but we will talk about our players knocking the fan

864
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:54.199
<v Speaker 1>let it go man. The UFL is aware of the

865
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:56.760
<v Speaker 1>incident that took place last evening at the conclusion of

866
00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:59.239
<v Speaker 1>the Michigan Panthers Saint Lewis game, and Say Louis League

867
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:03.920
<v Speaker 1>officials are currently investigating in the manner. Two questions for you,

868
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:08.760
<v Speaker 1>is Nikua gone? A and B If his last name

869
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:11.000
<v Speaker 1>was it Nikua and he is still there, would he

870
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:13.119
<v Speaker 1>be gone if his name wasn't it Nikuah?

871
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.559
<v Speaker 4>That's a good question because if you've seen any of

872
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:20.519
<v Speaker 4>the headlines from this outside of our niche it's brother

873
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:23.840
<v Speaker 4>of Puka Nikua, you know, slap span or whatever. So

874
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:27.159
<v Speaker 4>this is not the kind of attention that they want

875
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:29.880
<v Speaker 4>because this is kind of bush league. Now, what Mike

876
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:31.880
<v Speaker 4>g is saying here in the comments is right, like

877
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:34.079
<v Speaker 4>what if it was family based or racial remarks?

878
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.320
<v Speaker 3>I think every player has.

879
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Now we did see you just saw that in baseball,

880
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:42.760
<v Speaker 1>right that the one forgive me? But is he with

881
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.079
<v Speaker 1>the Cap and the Nationals. One of the players I

882
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:48.199
<v Speaker 1>think has been dealing with some mental health issues talked

883
00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:51.360
<v Speaker 1>about how he had contemplated suicide I believe in the past.

884
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:55.000
<v Speaker 1>A fan I think it was last weekend, yelled at

885
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:57.960
<v Speaker 1>him and then he engaged, and then I think the

886
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:00.800
<v Speaker 1>fan ended up I think getting a cause by security

887
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.840
<v Speaker 1>because it came out what he's so, Yes, there.

888
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:07.199
<v Speaker 4>Are real, you know things happen, sure, but like what

889
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.559
<v Speaker 4>what Mike is saying here, I think every player has

890
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:10.599
<v Speaker 4>the right to deck a fan.

891
00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:12.480
<v Speaker 3>It's like also saying like.

892
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:14.719
<v Speaker 4>You've got the right, You've got the right to say

893
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.719
<v Speaker 4>whatever you want, but you don't you don't have the

894
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.519
<v Speaker 4>right to avoid the consequences of what you say or

895
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:23.960
<v Speaker 4>what you do. Yeah, and I hope that wasn't the case.

896
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:28.199
<v Speaker 4>I just I mean, whatever happened, like, nothing good is

897
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.320
<v Speaker 4>going to come out of that. But again, you know,

898
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:32.199
<v Speaker 4>when when you look at it as a context of

899
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:34.159
<v Speaker 4>what someone said, like he was trying to like knock

900
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:37.960
<v Speaker 4>the guy's hat off. Even still it was an open palm,

901
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:40.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, open hand slap to the face, and you

902
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.079
<v Speaker 4>know you can't rick James somebody in the stands just

903
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:45.559
<v Speaker 4>walk away and go to the locker room.

904
00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:49.159
<v Speaker 1>It was funny, I just said, maybe it wasn't funny.

905
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:52.440
<v Speaker 1>It made me think about the This happened in the CFL.

906
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it was.

907
00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Four years ago and it was an Eastern semi final

908
00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:01.880
<v Speaker 1>playoff game. And I think Toronto lost in Hamilton, and

909
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:06.639
<v Speaker 1>as the as the Hamilton Toronto have a very contentious relationship,

910
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.599
<v Speaker 1>and as our ghost players re leaving fans realited, I

911
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:12.840
<v Speaker 1>think a couple of Toronto's players jumped the gate, like

912
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.880
<v Speaker 1>onto the concourse they were. That was when John Murphy

913
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:18.760
<v Speaker 1>he was I don't think he was the GM, but

914
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:22.679
<v Speaker 1>he had another player personnel role there, like he got suspended.

915
00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:25.159
<v Speaker 1>He said like it was a very big deal in

916
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:27.079
<v Speaker 1>a fight. So these are definitely not the things you

917
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.760
<v Speaker 1>want to have coming out, especially the UFL. Like you said,

918
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:32.400
<v Speaker 1>it just looks bush league, especially on the weekend where

919
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:35.079
<v Speaker 1>like people were kind of joking about the UFL with

920
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Shadua Sanders. I wouldn't then want the UFL also made

921
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:40.320
<v Speaker 1>made fun of because of stuff like this.

922
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but to answer your question, do I think he's gone,

923
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:47.519
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. This is I don't know that we've

924
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:49.880
<v Speaker 4>really seen anything like this. I mean, we've seen somebody

925
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:52.320
<v Speaker 4>get pretty much cut from a team because they wanted pizza,

926
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:55.000
<v Speaker 4>But this is this is a whole different kind of

927
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:55.599
<v Speaker 4>story here.

928
00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, anything else from this game, We'll move on to

929
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the defenders.

930
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Anything else from this.

931
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:05.400
<v Speaker 4>No, it was awesome. I think that was just to me,

932
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:07.559
<v Speaker 4>that was Now, there were a lot of good games.

933
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:08.840
<v Speaker 4>To me, that was the best one, and the one

934
00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:10.480
<v Speaker 4>we're getting ready to talk about I think was probably

935
00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:11.199
<v Speaker 4>the second best.

936
00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I mean, just this is what happens, right,

937
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:15.960
<v Speaker 1>we have these games and then we spend ten minutes

938
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:18.119
<v Speaker 1>or whatever talking about these other things, like that's not

939
00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:20.800
<v Speaker 1>what you want and obviously you can't write. But again,

940
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.280
<v Speaker 1>as I said off the top of the show, the St.

941
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Louis game felt like it had the highest stakes because

942
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the fans were like, there was just a lot of

943
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:31.639
<v Speaker 1>it had a division rivalry. They always say that in

944
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the NFL kind of feel to that.

945
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we have the So this was the largest

946
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:42.480
<v Speaker 2>comeback in UFL history. So were they down like fifteen?

947
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:44.159
<v Speaker 3>I think they were down fifteen.

948
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Because I was like, yeah, was it two scores plus? Okay?

949
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:48.159
<v Speaker 2>What was whatever? The greatest comeback?

950
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:53.760
<v Speaker 1>This was exciting, DC, you know, accomplished everything. I texted

951
00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:57.880
<v Speaker 1>because Anthony Miller, one of their he tweeted out, so

952
00:40:57.920 --> 00:40:59.679
<v Speaker 1>I can say, but like one of their family friends

953
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:00.360
<v Speaker 1>had shoes.

954
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:01.840
<v Speaker 2>He had to help them with their house and so

955
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:04.639
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't at the game. I go of course, Anthony,

956
00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and this is like the best game of the year before. Guy,

957
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:09.920
<v Speaker 2>what did you make of this one?

958
00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:13.119
<v Speaker 4>Uh? I think if you love passing, like this was

959
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:16.440
<v Speaker 4>the game. I mean, look at im. This was just insane,

960
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:20.159
<v Speaker 4>like Jordan Tomu throwing the ball forty six times. Now,

961
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:22.559
<v Speaker 4>I think we saw Matt Carrall throw forty nine times

962
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:24.960
<v Speaker 4>in one of the in one of the games earlier

963
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:28.400
<v Speaker 4>this year, and then Luis Perez doing Luis Perez things.

964
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.559
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what he was thinking on that last throw.

965
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:33.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if it was miscommunication or what. But

966
00:41:33.039 --> 00:41:36.199
<v Speaker 4>the bottom line is like this was this was a

967
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:38.440
<v Speaker 4>passing clinic, man. I mean, now they were doing some

968
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:40.119
<v Speaker 4>things on the ground, but I mean you look at

969
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:42.760
<v Speaker 4>those it was just this was just a really fun

970
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:43.480
<v Speaker 4>game to watch.

971
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, it was kind of vintage, right, I mean it

972
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:48.440
<v Speaker 1>felt like I mean Tomu we we I think we've

973
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:50.400
<v Speaker 1>talked the last couple of weeks like is he kind

974
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:52.679
<v Speaker 1>of long for this world here? And it felt like

975
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:54.840
<v Speaker 1>he's kind of been around the block and you know,

976
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Louis and is it and we need to decide is

977
00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:01.679
<v Speaker 1>he the king of Spring or is he the Spring King?

978
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:04.199
<v Speaker 1>Because I believe the book was called King of Spring.

979
00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I think it's no. I think the book is Spring King.

980
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Well we need to pick one. What is pras this book?

981
00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:12.599
<v Speaker 2>You don't even know, but I.

982
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:14.760
<v Speaker 3>Think it's Spring King. I haven't. I think it's Spring King.

983
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:18.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to look at it anyway, Justine, No, so

984
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:19.239
<v Speaker 1>he is the Spring King.

985
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:21.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's the Spring King. I think that's what they're

986
00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:23.960
<v Speaker 4>gonna hang. I always thought it was King of Spring.

987
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:25.880
<v Speaker 4>Was had a little bit more of a you know

988
00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:28.159
<v Speaker 4>that flows a little better. But the bottomle I think

989
00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:30.239
<v Speaker 4>what we saw we saw two there you go, the

990
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:32.639
<v Speaker 4>Spring King. Sure, but I think what we saw we

991
00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:36.559
<v Speaker 4>saw two very uh you know, talented, but also, as

992
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.639
<v Speaker 4>you pointed out, very experienced quarterbacks in here. It's kind

993
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:41.639
<v Speaker 4>of like being the I remember we had there was

994
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:45.639
<v Speaker 4>a minor league player here in Louisville, Corky Miller, who finally,

995
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:47.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, I think he's in coaching now, but he

996
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:49.960
<v Speaker 4>had he had set the record for like, however many

997
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:52.239
<v Speaker 4>minor league games and all this stuff. And I was like,

998
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.280
<v Speaker 4>does that you know that that's pretty cool you have

999
00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:55.760
<v Speaker 4>the record.

1000
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:58.239
<v Speaker 3>He goes, well, it means that I'm old and I've

1001
00:42:58.239 --> 00:42:59.679
<v Speaker 3>never made into the major League.

1002
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:03.519
<v Speaker 4>But so but there is something too that you when

1003
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:06.920
<v Speaker 4>you have that experience, and I think probably what both

1004
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:09.519
<v Speaker 4>these quarterbacks do and I and Luis Perez I used

1005
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:12.039
<v Speaker 4>to ask him about this during his Spring King book tour.

1006
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:15.480
<v Speaker 4>It's like, you know, they help these younger quarterbacks and

1007
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:18.159
<v Speaker 4>they can learn a lot from them. So uh, but

1008
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:20.480
<v Speaker 4>to see those guys go at it to legends, I

1009
00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:21.920
<v Speaker 4>mean that was that?

1010
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Was it? The King of Spring Kings? I like that

1011
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:24.960
<v Speaker 3>one we'll go with.

1012
00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Jiel said the King of

1013
00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Spring King.

1014
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:32.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean Triple H was the King of King, so

1015
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:35.199
<v Speaker 1>you can you can be the King of Spring or

1016
00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the King of Spring King. But yes, said I like,

1017
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Triple H is the King of Kings. But that was good.

1018
00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:41.800
<v Speaker 3>It was it?

1019
00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you know because the mirror that was I was

1020
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.039
<v Speaker 1>trying to look up. The Mariners have a have a

1021
00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:48.400
<v Speaker 1>utility player right now light that as well that he

1022
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:51.480
<v Speaker 1>has been you know, I think twelve or thirteen years

1023
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:55.079
<v Speaker 1>kind of going through. But they talked through that, and like, uh,

1024
00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:57.599
<v Speaker 1>it means that I'm kind of ready for any situation

1025
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.159
<v Speaker 1>and that I think there's a lot of intangible to

1026
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:02.960
<v Speaker 1>go into that. Even when you get people like Louis

1027
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:05.039
<v Speaker 1>Prez in the book, and then Mike Mitchell talking and

1028
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:07.719
<v Speaker 1>people making fun like, well what growth is? We like,

1029
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Louis has played a long time and done really like

1030
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:13.079
<v Speaker 1>it's okay to not disminish everything.

1031
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:15.159
<v Speaker 3>It's fine exactly. Yeah.

1032
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:18.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's got you know, great story, there's no question,

1033
00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:20.280
<v Speaker 4>and we've heard it a lot.

1034
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Now he's got a whole book.

1035
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you the funniest thing?

1036
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:26.760
<v Speaker 1>So the you know, the draft is this weekend, and so, uh,

1037
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:29.480
<v Speaker 1>first of all, my mother, who's a diehard football fan,

1038
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:31.440
<v Speaker 1>has never watched the draft ever, so that was just

1039
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:34.840
<v Speaker 1>an interesting thing of like so like do they have

1040
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:36.679
<v Speaker 1>all the hats at their house or like, you know,

1041
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.039
<v Speaker 1>just a lot of like like logistics questions. But then

1042
00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Dorothy goes, so what happens like if you don't get drafted?

1043
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:46.880
<v Speaker 1>And I go, amazingly enough, this football league exists to

1044
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:51.599
<v Speaker 1>your husband this podcast for four years or other leagues like,

1045
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:54.159
<v Speaker 1>but like Dorothy finally realized, She's.

1046
00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Like, oh, I go, yeah, this is what I just thought.

1047
00:44:58.440 --> 00:44:59.960
<v Speaker 1>It was kind of funny that like we all kind

1048
00:44:59.960 --> 00:45:01.280
<v Speaker 1>of came to this realization.

1049
00:45:01.679 --> 00:45:03.880
<v Speaker 4>And in fact, if you were watching Sunday you might

1050
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:06.440
<v Speaker 4>see some of these guys playing in the UFL.

1051
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:10.559
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, yes, yes, anything else. So I think who

1052
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:13.440
<v Speaker 1>was it the new d C for Defenders. He was

1053
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:16.000
<v Speaker 1>tweeting out like he didn't have as much gray hair

1054
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:18.760
<v Speaker 1>when he came in. He's excited here DC, right, all

1055
00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the coaching turmoil and all that they're putting up points here,

1056
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:22.320
<v Speaker 1>So like.

1057
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what do you make of this?

1058
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:24.679
<v Speaker 3>To me?

1059
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:27.119
<v Speaker 2>This is very impressive having gone through everything DC has

1060
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:27.639
<v Speaker 2>gone through.

1061
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:31.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh totally, and it's it's it's like kind of you've

1062
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:34.360
<v Speaker 4>seen how they've adjusted. And I don't know that you

1063
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:37.400
<v Speaker 4>can build a lot of culture in a franchise of

1064
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:39.320
<v Speaker 4>the way that the UFL is laid out right now.

1065
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:42.280
<v Speaker 4>But what you have seen, you know, from Shannon Harris,

1066
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:46.360
<v Speaker 4>from from Blake Williams, is you know they were able

1067
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:50.280
<v Speaker 4>to step in and and you know, keep keep it going.

1068
00:45:50.440 --> 00:45:52.760
<v Speaker 4>And that is that says a lot. I think about

1069
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:57.119
<v Speaker 4>the relationships that you have with each other and within

1070
00:45:57.159 --> 00:45:59.599
<v Speaker 4>that locker room, and you know, to have Fred Kayes

1071
00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:02.679
<v Speaker 4>obviously they're you know, still the offensive coordinator and doing

1072
00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:05.880
<v Speaker 4>good stuff too. I mean there's just continuity says a lot.

1073
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:07.639
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's that was one of the things

1074
00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:09.840
<v Speaker 4>that we had an issue that we're starting that we're

1075
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:12.599
<v Speaker 4>seeing with san Antonio, there was just there was too

1076
00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:15.519
<v Speaker 4>much change too fast, especially you know, head coach. And

1077
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:18.159
<v Speaker 4>then you've got a guy who was I believe Peyton

1078
00:46:18.199 --> 00:46:20.360
<v Speaker 4>Party may have started the season as like the special

1079
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:23.199
<v Speaker 4>teams coach and now in week four he's the head coach.

1080
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:26.360
<v Speaker 4>So those kinds of things are pretty hard to get over.

1081
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:30.039
<v Speaker 4>You know, Memphis figured out a way, but man, I

1082
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:31.320
<v Speaker 4>mean that's just team turmoil.

1083
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Uh, the other just and just I know we did

1084
00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:38.559
<v Speaker 1>the attendance, but like the Star contrasts and I've done

1085
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:42.280
<v Speaker 1>We've done the kickoff, you know whatever. However many years

1086
00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:44.800
<v Speaker 1>they're in Choctaw two or three. You know, I took

1087
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Dorothy there two games, like we've done not yet, like

1088
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I've done just the Saturday game at chalk Taw or

1089
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:50.239
<v Speaker 1>send it, you know whatever.

1090
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Like what is stark difference just in energy from.

1091
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Like this in the battle Hawks And obviously you know

1092
00:46:56.480 --> 00:46:59.719
<v Speaker 1>we're comparing poop to an apple, right, I mean you can't,

1093
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean it's like right, you know, the

1094
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:05.400
<v Speaker 1>battle Hawks is that is the pinnacle of what we

1095
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:07.280
<v Speaker 1>are trying to do, Right, and Jocksaw's working on that.

1096
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:11.599
<v Speaker 1>But Lake, it's the stadium, it's the size, it's the configure.

1097
00:47:11.639 --> 00:47:13.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's just everything. It's just dead.

1098
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:16.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just the laziest like not the league. It's just

1099
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the laziest feeling kind of like you're just kind of

1100
00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:20.800
<v Speaker 1>there hanging out in the sun.

1101
00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:22.159
<v Speaker 2>It's a baseball stage, you know.

1102
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:25.079
<v Speaker 1>It feels like you're out of baseball stadium, kind of

1103
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:25.920
<v Speaker 1>just hanging out.

1104
00:47:26.360 --> 00:47:28.800
<v Speaker 4>I just I saw there was there was a one

1105
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:31.000
<v Speaker 4>of the touchdowns and you could see it look like

1106
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.400
<v Speaker 4>a father and son and they're sitting at this weird

1107
00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:35.800
<v Speaker 4>angle in the corner of the end zone and you

1108
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:37.920
<v Speaker 4>kind of it's almost like they look at him like

1109
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:41.159
<v Speaker 4>walk like run by and they're looking down. It's just

1110
00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:43.400
<v Speaker 4>it is such a weird layout. I'd love to go.

1111
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:45.559
<v Speaker 4>I mean, all that said, I would love to go.

1112
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:48.559
<v Speaker 4>And you know, check out the UFL all the headquarters

1113
00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:50.719
<v Speaker 4>there in the weight room that we've seen so much

1114
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:56.280
<v Speaker 4>about every halftime. It looks, uh it is. It's an

1115
00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:59.119
<v Speaker 4>interesting layout and it's too bad because that's the hub.

1116
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:01.480
<v Speaker 4>You think that there would be some kind of you know,

1117
00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:03.719
<v Speaker 4>maybe a little boost of interest. But if this is

1118
00:48:03.719 --> 00:48:05.519
<v Speaker 4>the boost we're seeing. That's that's not great.

1119
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, Johnny, you don't like I always laughed too,

1120
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:10.519
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, when you go to like a game like

1121
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:12.599
<v Speaker 1>that and the two people have bought tickets, you go,

1122
00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:16.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can sit anywhere, right, like no one's

1123
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:20.559
<v Speaker 1>I did laugh. We went to the last Mariner games

1124
00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:23.840
<v Speaker 1>at Oakland Coliseum and they were we had bought tickets

1125
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:26.440
<v Speaker 1>up front because you can afford to do that at Colisseum,

1126
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and people were checking our tickets and I go.

1127
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Really like, what are we like, what are we guardying here?

1128
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Whether we in the stadium's you know, you're not playing here?

1129
00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Anything else? From this, We'll go to the blowout in

1130
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Santoi anything else.

1131
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, I think we covered it. We covered it

1132
00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:43.119
<v Speaker 3>all there. This is Houston, San Antonio. That was that

1133
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:43.679
<v Speaker 3>was something.

1134
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, ay, you know, I think you've I think that

1135
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you're rubbing off a little bit, right. You had the

1136
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:52.960
<v Speaker 1>CJ was that two weeks ago? They had the win, right,

1137
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and they had the kissing and all that.

1138
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:59.119
<v Speaker 4>And now I did see that. I really thought I

1139
00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:01.079
<v Speaker 4>thought I had seen Hton's only win of the season.

1140
00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:03.679
<v Speaker 4>I was like, oh my god, I'm standing here, I've

1141
00:49:03.719 --> 00:49:05.880
<v Speaker 4>seen it. I saw it with my own eyes. And

1142
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:08.199
<v Speaker 4>then they go to San Antonio and do this. Man,

1143
00:49:08.280 --> 00:49:11.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean roughnecks were doing it with defense, you know,

1144
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:14.079
<v Speaker 4>Jaylen McClinton and that dude was he was balling and

1145
00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:17.760
<v Speaker 4>through this thing. And I don't understand it to me

1146
00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:22.119
<v Speaker 4>when he when Peyton Party put the hook on Kellen Mind,

1147
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:24.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, I don't think this was all on Mind.

1148
00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:25.440
<v Speaker 4>I know there were a lot of people who were,

1149
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:28.159
<v Speaker 4>but it just felt like to me, he he had progressed,

1150
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:30.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, week after week after week and just looked

1151
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:33.880
<v Speaker 4>really good. And then they were fresh Brahmas were frustrated.

1152
00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:36.159
<v Speaker 4>Whatever Houston was doing was continued to front. It was

1153
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:39.880
<v Speaker 4>chippy the whole game. You know, Houston didn't even punt

1154
00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:42.559
<v Speaker 4>until I think the late third quarter. Like that tells you,

1155
00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:44.960
<v Speaker 4>like how dominating that they were. And who would have

1156
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:48.039
<v Speaker 4>ever thought that. We would have said, you know, Houston

1157
00:49:48.119 --> 00:49:49.639
<v Speaker 4>dominated someone, but they did.

1158
00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Well.

1159
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Here you go, Philip, Johnny, you have little faith pills

1160
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Philips believe the whole way through. But here's the question,

1161
00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:58.480
<v Speaker 1>because this in the group shot is we were again

1162
00:49:58.519 --> 00:49:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I've watched all this today. We were at the MA

1163
00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:04.079
<v Speaker 1>and then my mother was over. But like the consensus

1164
00:50:04.119 --> 00:50:06.559
<v Speaker 1>for the gentleman in the group chat was, you know,

1165
00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Brahmas gave this game away or just played kind of

1166
00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:12.079
<v Speaker 1>awful more than like Houston really okay, they're kind of

1167
00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:13.000
<v Speaker 1>building momentum here.

1168
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:14.480
<v Speaker 2>How do you how do you view that?

1169
00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:18.239
<v Speaker 4>No, Houston, Houston did everything that they needed to do

1170
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:21.599
<v Speaker 4>talent wise, as someone pointed out, Yeah, I mean see

1171
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:25.199
<v Speaker 4>that's the problem here, CJ is they seems like they

1172
00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:28.039
<v Speaker 4>win and you know in spite of him, like he

1173
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:31.280
<v Speaker 4>he really did, Like what what was it that Jaylen

1174
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:34.280
<v Speaker 4>mcclindon wasn't doing, Not not taking anything away from from

1175
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:38.039
<v Speaker 4>Nolan Henderson, but like you know, Anthony Anthony Brown didn't

1176
00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:40.239
<v Speaker 4>he was he like the starting quarterback to start to

1177
00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:43.320
<v Speaker 4>start the season. It was just like I don't understand

1178
00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:46.039
<v Speaker 4>what they were seeing in practice that they didn't see,

1179
00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:48.039
<v Speaker 4>like Jaylen mc clinton is the guy that you know,

1180
00:50:48.119 --> 00:50:52.840
<v Speaker 4>that's who we need in there, or but it's I

1181
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:56.320
<v Speaker 4>don't take anything away from Houston in this game. They

1182
00:50:56.800 --> 00:51:01.360
<v Speaker 4>absolutely dominated san Antonio, and san Antonio frustrated and they

1183
00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:06.360
<v Speaker 4>and they just san Antonio. It wasn't like they lost

1184
00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:09.679
<v Speaker 4>the game. Houston won this game flat out, but I mean,

1185
00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:12.239
<v Speaker 4>I was shocked we didn't.

1186
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:14.719
<v Speaker 1>I was in Vegas when the all the way Phillips

1187
00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:18.320
<v Speaker 1>stuff came out right and we believe you know, stepping

1188
00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:21.239
<v Speaker 1>down and probably health related an age and all of that.

1189
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I tweet, you know, I said, well.

1190
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:26.679
<v Speaker 1>This isn't a good look just because this is another

1191
00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:28.039
<v Speaker 1>head coach and all this.

1192
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Do you view anything of that?

1193
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:32.320
<v Speaker 1>And and and we obviously the AJ Smith and everything

1194
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:35.639
<v Speaker 1>we've there's been a lot of turmoil, especially with the

1195
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:38.320
<v Speaker 1>bron Defenders and Brahmas. Really feels like a lot for

1196
00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:41.320
<v Speaker 1>that way. But I don't know, like where did the

1197
00:51:41.360 --> 00:51:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Brahmas go from here? Just kind of general thoughts because

1198
00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:44.360
<v Speaker 1>he hadn't touched on that.

1199
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:45.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't.

1200
00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:50.280
<v Speaker 4>To me, I don't know that they recover from this.

1201
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:54.719
<v Speaker 4>You beat DC and you look good doing it, and

1202
00:51:54.760 --> 00:51:57.519
<v Speaker 4>then you come home and you have that kind of game.

1203
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:00.639
<v Speaker 4>It's just really hard for me to see how this

1204
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:04.719
<v Speaker 4>team bounces back from that. In fact, when they were

1205
00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:08.280
<v Speaker 4>zero and three, I had San Antonio still I still

1206
00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:11.639
<v Speaker 4>had them third in uh in my power rankings, because

1207
00:52:11.679 --> 00:52:14.440
<v Speaker 4>I thought they were that good. It just wasn't coming

1208
00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:16.719
<v Speaker 4>out on you know, they weren't on the right side

1209
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:20.480
<v Speaker 4>of the score column. But after that I put them,

1210
00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:22.519
<v Speaker 4>I put them dead last this week in my power

1211
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:25.320
<v Speaker 4>rankings because I just don't think that they have it now.

1212
00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:28.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I probably shouldn't judge them like, oh they

1213
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:31.320
<v Speaker 4>were they were great last week and then they were

1214
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:33.920
<v Speaker 4>terrible this week, and that's what they are. But to me,

1215
00:52:34.119 --> 00:52:36.760
<v Speaker 4>I just don't see them bouncing back from this, especially

1216
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:37.559
<v Speaker 4>in that conference.

1217
00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:42.239
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's an interesting team to track, just from

1218
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the XFL and then obviously with all the Hines Wards

1219
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:47.519
<v Speaker 1>stuff and then with the rough Necks for the gamble

1220
00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Necks and okay, and the Brahmas kind of become the

1221
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:52.679
<v Speaker 1>rough Necks, and then we had all this stuff now

1222
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:55.960
<v Speaker 1>with AJ Smith and that consternation and uh kind of

1223
00:52:56.039 --> 00:52:59.239
<v Speaker 1>dating back to the championship game and Chase Carl like uh,

1224
00:52:59.639 --> 00:53:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, not that the UFL has a long history here,

1225
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:04.480
<v Speaker 1>but you really can kind of track this downfall the

1226
00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Brahmas over, you know, starting at the championship kind of

1227
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:07.599
<v Speaker 1>all this.

1228
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:11.079
<v Speaker 2>It's just weird because they especially as.

1229
00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:12.679
<v Speaker 1>The rough Knacks in the movie over like there was

1230
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:14.559
<v Speaker 1>so much oh my god, you got a J Smith

1231
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and silver as the way filled all this like oh,

1232
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:20.480
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna drive, and it just they really the carts

1233
00:53:20.519 --> 00:53:23.039
<v Speaker 1>come off, and it's this is a team that went

1234
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:25.119
<v Speaker 1>to the championship last year and that's you know, like

1235
00:53:25.159 --> 00:53:28.239
<v Speaker 1>you said, and then it was just so much change

1236
00:53:28.400 --> 00:53:31.679
<v Speaker 1>and it just, yeah, it felt like I don't know

1237
00:53:31.719 --> 00:53:34.239
<v Speaker 1>what if it was behind the scenes, what was going on,

1238
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:37.559
<v Speaker 1>but it just felt like, you know, stumbling out of

1239
00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the gate like that and trying to figure out, you know,

1240
00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:42.760
<v Speaker 1>killing mom was still figuring out the offense, and I

1241
00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:44.760
<v Speaker 1>kept saying, I think, like, I think he can be

1242
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:47.880
<v Speaker 1>an all UFL quarterback. And I don't think that he

1243
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:50.000
<v Speaker 1>should have gotten the hook for Jared Guarantano.

1244
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:52.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't. I did not understand that move

1245
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:52.800
<v Speaker 3>at all.

1246
00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Oh, and I was just looking if Silver's is back

1247
00:53:56.159 --> 00:53:58.639
<v Speaker 1>with the BattleHawks, right, it's like the third singer. I

1248
00:53:58.679 --> 00:54:00.639
<v Speaker 1>just was trying to kind of remind myself. I knew

1249
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:02.639
<v Speaker 1>that I remember seeing that he got picked up again,

1250
00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and obviously with the injuries and all that, so you know,

1251
00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're still there's.

1252
00:54:06.239 --> 00:54:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Remnants of the Brahmas still around.

1253
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:10.480
<v Speaker 1>But last thoughts here and then we'll kind of do

1254
00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:12.920
<v Speaker 1>a recapping out any other thoughts on the rough next

1255
00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:16.320
<v Speaker 1>year a Philip is saying, or a duel saying Houston

1256
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:19.480
<v Speaker 1>could be five hundred next week, and then at Philip saying,

1257
00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's the beauty of the league. Anyone can

1258
00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:23.199
<v Speaker 1>be there with So is this a one off? Is

1259
00:54:23.239 --> 00:54:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Houston what are we doing here?

1260
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Well?

1261
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:30.000
<v Speaker 4>I thought, well, now the win against Memphis. Memphis lost

1262
00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:32.360
<v Speaker 4>that game. Houston didn't win that. I mean it just

1263
00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:34.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, they got the W. But like Memphis just

1264
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:37.880
<v Speaker 4>shot themselves in the foot and c J was blowing

1265
00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:38.880
<v Speaker 4>kisses to the crowd.

1266
00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:42.079
<v Speaker 3>That's a much improved team, man.

1267
00:54:42.159 --> 00:54:45.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's hard for me to say that. If

1268
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:49.199
<v Speaker 4>that team with Jaylen McClendon continued to perform that way

1269
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:51.840
<v Speaker 4>and that defense continuing to perform that way, now that

1270
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:54.000
<v Speaker 4>might be a lot to ask, you know, that much

1271
00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:57.320
<v Speaker 4>consistency when you've had such a kind of a terrible start.

1272
00:54:57.800 --> 00:54:59.400
<v Speaker 4>And again, I have a lot of questions about that

1273
00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:02.519
<v Speaker 4>coaching staff. I don't think it's a one off. So

1274
00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:05.559
<v Speaker 4>I'm kind of you know, Houston was the least interesting

1275
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:08.719
<v Speaker 4>team in the world to me, and now it's like, okay,

1276
00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:10.599
<v Speaker 4>this is kind of interesting. And someone, as you said

1277
00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:14.039
<v Speaker 4>something that you pointed out that someone both pointed out,

1278
00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:17.280
<v Speaker 4>anybody can be anybody in this league, and now you've

1279
00:55:17.280 --> 00:55:19.239
<v Speaker 4>got to do it, like you have to do it now.

1280
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Dynamic Gaming Houston attendance up this week now, No, seriously,

1281
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:30.119
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, so we got five minutes off, let's look

1282
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:32.280
<v Speaker 1>at this standing, so we'll recap, we'll get out of here.

1283
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:35.480
<v Speaker 1>But wait, I agree with what you said about that,

1284
00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:37.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, the rough necks and being interesting. That's how

1285
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel about Memphis now too, like the like, yeah,

1286
00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:42.599
<v Speaker 1>I just I want to I don't like and this

1287
00:55:42.679 --> 00:55:45.159
<v Speaker 1>is what people don't get and it doesn't this is

1288
00:55:45.199 --> 00:55:47.239
<v Speaker 1>like the biggest first world problem in the world. But like,

1289
00:55:47.719 --> 00:55:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a ton of weekend time to watch

1290
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:51.440
<v Speaker 1>these games. And so then when like I turn on

1291
00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:54.519
<v Speaker 1>and it's Arlington and Memphis and they're putting up six

1292
00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:57.840
<v Speaker 1>points or whatever like that, it kills my excitement for

1293
00:55:57.880 --> 00:55:59.480
<v Speaker 1>all of this. And I know that, you know, I'm

1294
00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:01.320
<v Speaker 1>just the one I'll like. It's just hard. So I

1295
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:03.559
<v Speaker 1>like being able when I turn on my TV, the

1296
00:56:03.599 --> 00:56:06.599
<v Speaker 1>fact that like, wow, like something interesting might happen here,

1297
00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:07.239
<v Speaker 1>this would be cool.

1298
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:10.039
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm a sicko and I watched Like if I

1299
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:12.440
<v Speaker 3>don't watch it, watch them live. I will watch like.

1300
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:15.960
<v Speaker 4>Every minute on on DVR. My wife just sends me

1301
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:20.960
<v Speaker 4>to the basement on Sundays for the doubleheaders. So yeah,

1302
00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:24.119
<v Speaker 4>I mean I get that, but it is it is.

1303
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:27.800
<v Speaker 4>It is fun to see interesting teams, interesting stories. It's

1304
00:56:27.840 --> 00:56:29.679
<v Speaker 4>what we always talked about that is the strength of

1305
00:56:29.719 --> 00:56:32.280
<v Speaker 4>this league or this the interesting stories of the players

1306
00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:33.440
<v Speaker 4>certainly and the coaches.

1307
00:56:34.239 --> 00:56:35.239
<v Speaker 3>But when they start to.

1308
00:56:35.199 --> 00:56:38.119
<v Speaker 4>Play, like the three games we saw and and what

1309
00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:40.920
<v Speaker 4>Houston you know, did on the field as well, like

1310
00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:43.960
<v Speaker 4>this is good football. And if you would have told

1311
00:56:44.039 --> 00:56:47.239
<v Speaker 4>me two weeks ago that Houston's gonna be playing good football,

1312
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:51.119
<v Speaker 4>I would say there's no way. But things start to

1313
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:53.000
<v Speaker 4>come together, and this is the time for it to

1314
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:56.320
<v Speaker 4>come together. I think what we saw, these offenses have

1315
00:56:56.440 --> 00:57:00.000
<v Speaker 4>now caught up with the defenses because they're playing together,

1316
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:01.840
<v Speaker 4>and frankly, these quarterbacks or something.

1317
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:04.039
<v Speaker 3>There you go, Philip, here we're on the same page. Here.

1318
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:06.760
<v Speaker 4>The offenses are starting to catch up with the defenses

1319
00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:10.599
<v Speaker 4>because you know, they they're getting in a groove now

1320
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:13.639
<v Speaker 4>and they have seen over the first five weeks what works,

1321
00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:16.840
<v Speaker 4>what doesn't, what are people's strengths. And for Houston, I'm

1322
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:21.039
<v Speaker 4>hopefully that that coaching staff has said like, oh, maybe

1323
00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:22.800
<v Speaker 4>our strength is is Jaylen McClinton.

1324
00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Uh, yeah, you Philip here, I put that up in

1325
00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:28.880
<v Speaker 1>my here. I was loving TJ blowing kisses to the fore.

1326
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:31.800
<v Speaker 2>But I'll stand though.

1327
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean I was kind of looking here because it's

1328
00:57:33.519 --> 00:57:35.320
<v Speaker 1>like do I do I drump?

1329
00:57:35.480 --> 00:57:36.519
<v Speaker 2>Do I dump the Brahmas?

1330
00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's my team, I kind of you know,

1331
00:57:38.559 --> 00:57:41.199
<v Speaker 1>but it's like not even the same team anymore. There's

1332
00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:42.880
<v Speaker 1>like knowing there I might just have to be like

1333
00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:45.559
<v Speaker 1>a dresser Win guy, Like I'm just I'm just a guy.

1334
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:47.360
<v Speaker 2>I just I just track guys.

1335
00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Now, maybe I can't track teams because all my teams

1336
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:50.199
<v Speaker 1>fall apart.

1337
00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:52.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean there are worse quarterbacks to get on

1338
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:55.440
<v Speaker 4>the dresser Win. I mean what like that was just

1339
00:57:55.519 --> 00:57:58.039
<v Speaker 4>that was a great performance and you know, and then

1340
00:57:58.079 --> 00:58:00.599
<v Speaker 4>his demeanor through the whole thing that was that was

1341
00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:01.199
<v Speaker 4>pretty fun.

1342
00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:03.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Uh the last thing.

1343
00:58:03.840 --> 00:58:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Everyone a couple of things and then we'll do Leon

1344
00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Reed is a band waking Absolutely for stuff like that, absolutely,

1345
00:58:10.199 --> 00:58:13.599
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, mariners and cracking and command like yes,

1346
00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:18.239
<v Speaker 1>but for spring football absolutely, absolutely, even the CFL. I

1347
00:58:18.280 --> 00:58:19.960
<v Speaker 1>bounced around until I found my home. Now I have

1348
00:58:20.039 --> 00:58:22.400
<v Speaker 1>my home, but we did all that. Leon says, it

1349
00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:24.519
<v Speaker 1>is interesting they're not listing the X and L, e

1350
00:58:24.599 --> 00:58:26.519
<v Speaker 1>U s USFL standings online.

1351
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:27.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1352
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I liked that because I like, you know, I just

1353
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:30.800
<v Speaker 1>made more people yell at me and stuff.

1354
00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:32.000
<v Speaker 2>So that was kind of fun to do that.

1355
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:32.719
<v Speaker 3>That's what you want.

1356
00:58:33.119 --> 00:58:37.440
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, so DC, with everything top of the XFL

1357
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:41.719
<v Speaker 1>division here, your biggest comeback in history obviously would be

1358
00:58:41.800 --> 00:58:44.159
<v Speaker 1>high on the power rankings there if I was submitted

1359
00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:46.280
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff you know, ready gets here.

1360
00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:47.199
<v Speaker 2>What do you make of it?

1361
00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:50.800
<v Speaker 1>The big picture, halfway through the season, before we get out, I.

1362
00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:54.320
<v Speaker 4>Think we're starting to see teams, even the even the

1363
00:58:54.400 --> 00:58:57.480
<v Speaker 4>teams that lost in Week five, you're still seeing some

1364
00:58:57.519 --> 00:58:59.800
<v Speaker 4>of these teams rise to the top, like with D

1365
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:02.039
<v Speaker 4>for instance. I mean, DC, there's no question they were

1366
00:59:02.119 --> 00:59:04.599
<v Speaker 4>number one of my power rankings this week. Although when

1367
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:06.920
<v Speaker 4>you say, like, oh, well fifteen, yeah that you know

1368
00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:09.760
<v Speaker 4>it's the biggest comeback. You know, possession is still nine.

1369
00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:11.760
<v Speaker 4>It was less than two possessions.

1370
00:59:11.199 --> 00:59:11.960
<v Speaker 3>But it was still.

1371
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:16.039
<v Speaker 4>Don't take anything away because Renegades their defense is so

1372
00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:20.960
<v Speaker 4>much improved from last year. So I like, to me,

1373
00:59:21.800 --> 00:59:25.199
<v Speaker 4>it just feels like the XFL is going to be

1374
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:27.599
<v Speaker 4>so much fun to watch because you have those three

1375
00:59:27.639 --> 00:59:31.519
<v Speaker 4>top teams there who you know very well. You could

1376
00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:33.159
<v Speaker 4>take any of those three and say they're going to

1377
00:59:33.199 --> 00:59:36.239
<v Speaker 4>be in the UFL Championship. There's two right there that

1378
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:39.119
<v Speaker 4>you take and say, like and it's probably you know again,

1379
00:59:39.159 --> 00:59:41.360
<v Speaker 4>how do you bet against Skip Holtz? Like you even

1380
00:59:41.800 --> 00:59:44.280
<v Speaker 4>with that losing to Memphis at home, which was just

1381
00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:47.119
<v Speaker 4>such a shock, You don't take anything away from him

1382
00:59:47.119 --> 00:59:48.639
<v Speaker 4>and you don't bet against him.

1383
00:59:49.559 --> 00:59:52.559
<v Speaker 1>Just in speaking of the the you know the whatever.

1384
00:59:52.719 --> 00:59:54.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's the one score lead or the two score

1385
00:59:54.639 --> 00:59:56.559
<v Speaker 1>leader that always kills me and you get in a

1386
00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:58.719
<v Speaker 1>lot in the spring football, but even in the NFL,

1387
00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:01.440
<v Speaker 1>like where a team han't done anything all game, and

1388
01:00:01.480 --> 01:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that's my biggest announcer, pet Peeve is like, oh, you know,

1389
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>if they scored and went for the two points and

1390
01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:07.199
<v Speaker 1>then got the off side to them, like.

1391
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:08.559
<v Speaker 2>They haven't done anything all game.

1392
01:00:08.559 --> 01:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>They're not scoring twenty two points here in the last

1393
01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>three minutes like.

1394
01:00:12.159 --> 01:00:14.400
<v Speaker 4>Comes like some kind of tech mobile comeback in the

1395
01:00:14.440 --> 01:00:15.039
<v Speaker 4>fourth quarter.

1396
01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but no, I think this is a I mean

1397
01:00:18.119 --> 01:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>positive note to leave on.

1398
01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:20.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel decent.

1399
01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>We'll see where the rest of the TV rates go.

1400
01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>It's a tough weekend, I mean the draft. This goes

1401
01:00:25.719 --> 01:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>back to why I would do the February start. This

1402
01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:32.079
<v Speaker 1>time of year, people are out, We're out, like it's

1403
01:00:33.559 --> 01:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>to me, and it really exemplified, like this weekend of

1404
01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:38.559
<v Speaker 1>just how much stuff we had in the February start

1405
01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>you have to do. It's impossible to pull in a

1406
01:00:41.440 --> 01:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>casual audience when springtime hits.

1407
01:00:44.199 --> 01:00:48.119
<v Speaker 4>Agreed, And I would almost be willing to say start

1408
01:00:48.159 --> 01:00:51.400
<v Speaker 4>your season the week before the super Bowl, when you've

1409
01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:54.679
<v Speaker 4>got the whole weekend to yourself. You could still I'm

1410
01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:56.719
<v Speaker 4>gonna lay this out. I got to figure this out.

1411
01:00:56.760 --> 01:00:59.000
<v Speaker 4>But I honestly think like you could do that. You

1412
01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:01.760
<v Speaker 4>could start in late January or early February or however

1413
01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:03.559
<v Speaker 4>that you know it would lay out for the super Bowl,

1414
01:01:04.119 --> 01:01:07.159
<v Speaker 4>and you could have a spring league that gets eyeballs

1415
01:01:07.800 --> 01:01:10.719
<v Speaker 4>and surround it even even during super Bowl when that

1416
01:01:10.880 --> 01:01:13.440
<v Speaker 4>is what the world's attention is on. I just I

1417
01:01:13.480 --> 01:01:15.519
<v Speaker 4>really think that you could do that and do this

1418
01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:18.480
<v Speaker 4>in February and get these guys in the right cycle

1419
01:01:19.119 --> 01:01:21.559
<v Speaker 4>to get into the NFL, you know, mini camps and

1420
01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:21.920
<v Speaker 4>all that.

1421
01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I agree one hundred percent you're getting a lot of

1422
01:01:24.880 --> 01:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>be a big fans agree all out in here because

1423
01:01:26.960 --> 01:01:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to me too, and you know, I would look at

1424
01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>it as how I was just in in Vegas for WrestleMania.

1425
01:01:33.599 --> 01:01:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Look at it that way.

1426
01:01:34.679 --> 01:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Every other everyone else that's involved in wrestling goes where

1427
01:01:38.840 --> 01:01:41.599
<v Speaker 1>the ww egos right for wrestling any weekend. It's the

1428
01:01:41.639 --> 01:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>same with the NFL. And maybe you can you know,

1429
01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:47.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't. Can you get a high school stadium nearby

1430
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:50.559
<v Speaker 1>or college stadium and do a one off kind of Hey,

1431
01:01:50.599 --> 01:01:54.199
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's an exit your year. You're's marking at

1432
01:01:54.239 --> 01:01:54.559
<v Speaker 1>me now?

1433
01:01:54.880 --> 01:01:56.000
<v Speaker 3>No, No, I like it.

1434
01:01:56.199 --> 01:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Should we do a preseason expedition whatever, exhibition I can't

1435
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>even tell about exhibition game whatever.

1436
01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>But plus then you know, I think mid April is

1437
01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the is the ideal out And then you know, and

1438
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>then you're in the draft cycle, and then you're in

1439
01:02:10.880 --> 01:02:12.679
<v Speaker 1>all of this stuff, and then then if you aren't

1440
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in the championship game, you're out a couple of weeks earlier,

1441
01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>and you can, like, it just makes so much more

1442
01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:17.639
<v Speaker 1>sense to kill.

1443
01:02:18.639 --> 01:02:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Fox wants that when they.

1444
01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Need their TV programming, right, I think that's why they

1445
01:02:23.159 --> 01:02:24.880
<v Speaker 1>want to do all this and that's why they're so

1446
01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>fervent about, like, well, this is when we need the programming,

1447
01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>so this is we're going to do it. But for

1448
01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:32.679
<v Speaker 1>the players involved, I think it's impossible to argue. And

1449
01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>we heard that with with agents and everything too. They

1450
01:02:35.760 --> 01:02:37.039
<v Speaker 1>prefer the ex schedule.

1451
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it just makes sense.

1452
01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:42.840
<v Speaker 4>And you to start in February. And people say, well,

1453
01:02:42.840 --> 01:02:46.199
<v Speaker 4>there's football burnout. I don't think that's the case because

1454
01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:48.960
<v Speaker 4>by the time you're getting to the playoffs, most of

1455
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:51.239
<v Speaker 4>the league has been and a lot of our teams

1456
01:02:51.239 --> 01:02:55.039
<v Speaker 4>have been eliminated, and then it's you know, two less,

1457
01:02:55.079 --> 01:02:58.519
<v Speaker 4>four less, and then you know you're not getting burnout.

1458
01:02:58.559 --> 01:03:01.360
<v Speaker 4>You're getting fewer games and fewer And man, if you

1459
01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:05.119
<v Speaker 4>started Pro Bowl weekend and you put a game as

1460
01:03:05.239 --> 01:03:08.960
<v Speaker 4>like instead of six hours of feature stories and nonsense

1461
01:03:09.039 --> 01:03:11.840
<v Speaker 4>on Fox or whatever, and you had it, it doesn't

1462
01:03:11.880 --> 01:03:14.280
<v Speaker 4>matter where the Super Bowl is. If you're having Super

1463
01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:16.440
<v Speaker 4>Bowl get togethers and somebody's like, we'll put on the

1464
01:03:16.519 --> 01:03:18.519
<v Speaker 4>UFL game that kicked off at noon and we'll be

1465
01:03:18.599 --> 01:03:21.639
<v Speaker 4>over by three people might actually sit and you know,

1466
01:03:21.800 --> 01:03:24.159
<v Speaker 4>or at least stand around and you know, drink a

1467
01:03:24.159 --> 01:03:26.199
<v Speaker 4>few cold ones and eat s nachos, and say this

1468
01:03:26.320 --> 01:03:26.960
<v Speaker 4>is interesting.

1469
01:03:27.039 --> 01:03:29.440
<v Speaker 3>So I just there's opportunity there.

1470
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't.

1471
01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I do not watch like from uh once you know,

1472
01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:38.039
<v Speaker 1>the Commander's lost to the Eagles right in the NFC Championship,

1473
01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and then I watched the recaps the next day, and

1474
01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:42.719
<v Speaker 1>then I didn't watch sports till the Super Bowl because

1475
01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:45.599
<v Speaker 1>you're done, like yeah, this whole Oh there's all this burnout.

1476
01:03:45.639 --> 01:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Like no, there's not, because you're like you said, you're

1477
01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>only watching six games or whatever that last month. Anyway,

1478
01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Like it's not, it's not. It doesn't feel that way.

1479
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:56.599
<v Speaker 1>So I and they're talking like if the NFL went

1480
01:03:56.840 --> 01:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>like you can figure that out spoiler alert, I'd rather

1481
01:04:00.119 --> 01:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>overlap on a Friday Saturday Pro Bowl weekend or whatever.

1482
01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I then play against the NFL drafts and all this

1483
01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>other crap they got to go against.

1484
01:04:10.599 --> 01:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I think that's a longer discussion for

1485
01:04:13.880 --> 01:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>another day. We'll get out of here.

1486
01:04:15.039 --> 01:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>But I think that that's the key the February has

1487
01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:19.199
<v Speaker 1>always been, and however you want to overlay that is.

1488
01:04:20.519 --> 01:04:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully that the UFL continues to learn with what's going

1489
01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:24.000
<v Speaker 3>on this season.
