But yesterday several Canuck players were made available 99 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.240 to the media, and as is off the case, the 100 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.360 guy who had the most to say and just said 101 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.120 things so eloquently was Tyler Myers. Great Interviews. Okay, this 102 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.600 is what Tyler Myers had to say yesterday at the 103 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:16.720 Milford about the connects acquiring an old friend and full 104 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.360 of his Evander Kaine. 105 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:20.639 I think Caterer's going to help us a lot. 106 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:21.079 Uh. 107 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:22.959 You know, he brings a lot to a. 108 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.560 Group, you know, big power forward. 109 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:28.800 You know the times that I've had with them when 110 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.480 we were younger playing against him, you know, wasn't that fun? 111 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.680 And you know, playing with them at World Juniors, things 112 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.839 like World Juniors and and Worlds. I know what he 113 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.279 can bring, and you know, I think he's exactly some 114 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.319 of the things that we were lacking a little bit of. 115 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.319 And uh, you know, I think he's going to step 116 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:50.519 in into great for us. 117 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.639 Tyler Myers and the mid two thousands playing for Kolowna, 118 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.199 Evander Kaine with the Vancouver Giants faced each other on 119 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.319 multiple okay, and as Tyler mantioned, they also played together 120 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.160 on the Canadian junior team. 121 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.879 I'm looking forward. Don you've seen what Kine's going to 122 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:09.959 do here. Now do remember he didn't have a regular 123 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:11.399 season last year because of injuries. 124 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:11.759 Done? 125 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.759 Okay, keep that in mind. But this guy's a playoff performer. 126 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.399 Twenty six playoff goals in the last four years for 127 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.639 the Edmonton Oidters, including thirteen and a. 128 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.079 Year one when he went there six points. 129 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.560 I believe, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And so you know, are 130 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.439 the Canucks going to make the playoffs for Kine to 131 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.279 have a big playoff I don't know, but I do 132 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.800 know one thing. This guy's a UFA. A lot of 133 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.839 people are projecting him twenty twenty five goals done. If 134 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.040 he's going to get twenty twenty five goals, is there 135 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.959 a centerman on the Canucks that's going to get him 136 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.160 the puck to score twenty twenty five? That's the big one. 137 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.160 Well, okay, so let's look at it with that in mind. Yeah, 138 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:46.800 and you make the good point before we get to 139 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.480 the lineup board. You make the point about it Andrew 140 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.079 Kine and people get excited because of his playoff performance. 141 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.680 He tailed off a bit of the end last year, 142 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.480 but sort of the rest of the Oilers his playoff 143 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.839 performance over the last three seasons or so four seasons, 144 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.920 but actually with the Oilers, but he didn't play a 145 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.839 regular season game last year, so much like Thatcher Demco. 146 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:14.800 So much of vander Kayne's success or non success going 147 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.000 into the season will have to do with his health. Right. 148 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.560 He's thirty four too, don He's not what we call 149 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:20.399 it a spring chicken. 150 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.360 Yeah, he's thirty five, maybe rejuvenated being back in his hometown. 151 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:24.040 He's thirty four. 152 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.959 Tyler Myers is thirty three now, I think. So, you 153 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:28.519 know there's some guys getting up there. 154 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.480 Yep, yep. Okay, So let's take a look at the 155 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:36.839 Canucks projected lineup board for their forwards going into this season. 156 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.879 This is from Daily face Off, so we'll give them credit. 157 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.319 I do have some issues with this, but Patterson on 158 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:48.199 that first line with Debrasque and Besser, Heatl between Cain 159 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:52.199 and Garland Rattu up from Abbotsford. Lolli did play games 160 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.560 last year acrosse with the Canucks, between Hoglander and Sherwood, 161 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.759 Blueger between Sassin and O'Connor, do you have any issues. 162 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.360 I have issue with Caine. He should be starting out 163 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.279 of the shoot with Peterson and Besser. You want Kine 164 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.319 to be successful, well then you play them with the 165 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:14.279 number one center Ratu. The most impressive thing that Abasberd 166 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.040 did last year winning they called the Cup without him. 167 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.720 He was hurt right and he needed six weeks to 168 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.040 fix his injury. Went home at a good time. There 169 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.720 rehabbit and all that stuff. But other than that, Sasan, 170 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:30.480 I don't see Carlson there. I'm sorry, but Carlson was 171 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.759 the MVP for ABSBURD. I think that guy's going to 172 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:34.879 be their opening night. I don't know why he's not there, Donny. 173 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.919 But Baines is another player from Abtsford that a lot 174 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.639 of people might argue should be with the big team. 175 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.000 Baines has got to decide are you going to be 176 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.919 a good American Hockey League player? Are you going to 177 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.120 be a good call up or you're going to be 178 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:46.559 an NHL. 179 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.480 You can say that about Sassin, you can say that. 180 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.000 All these guys heavy. It is time to make the 181 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.240 jump and not be and get sent back. It's time 182 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.240 to going to Vancouver, grab a spot and stay all year. 183 00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:58.720 That's what they got to decide. 184 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.240 Yeahs and adds something that the Canucks don't have a 185 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.559 lot of, and that's speed. Carlson, uh one thing about 186 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.440 him he plays heavy. He plays heavy. There's some grit there, 187 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.879 there's some toughness there. He gets under the skin of 188 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:15.720 the opponents. The Knucks don't have a lot of that. 189 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.200 They could use both those guys. Guys to be honest, 190 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.919 rat Wu's a face off guy. They need that. And 191 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:27.240 then the other. I'm with you here, I don't Petterson 192 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:32.200 with debrask Invesser, you know, not fast enough for me 193 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.840 for a first line, Not that Kane is a speedster, 194 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.120 but also that first line as we see it there, 195 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.240 to me not enough. And I know the numbers are 196 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.519 there with Debrusk investor goal wise, but to get a 197 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:46.799 little more toughness in there. Yeah, I think you're banging 198 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.039 on with Kane with with Petterson. 199 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.799 Kane's got to start with Petterson, load up the first line. 200 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.919 And this is nothing against anybody. I think it's just 201 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:53.480 a better fit. 202 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.200 What if Quinn you say with Ian mcinturyre last week 203 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:57.679 he said we're not going to be the most skilled 204 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.480 bunch this team might have problem scoring goals, Donny. They 205 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:04.519 might have problems scoring goals, that's the bottom line. No, 206 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.039 they will, Yeah, they will. The way this is constructed 207 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.480 right now, they're going to have issues scoring goals this year. 208 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.279 I look at this forward group and we don't. We 209 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.759 hope to have to focus on their blue line group 210 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.279 later this week and their goaltending. But I look at 211 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.399 this and if Thatcher Damco can stay healthy, this reminds me. 212 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.440 And I said this yesterday on Sports at six fifty. 213 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:31.200 I know you were listening, you know, with Sat and 214 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.320 Dan yesterday, but it reminds me a bit of six 215 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.720 oh seven when the Canucks had Lauongo for the first 216 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:42.559 season and they acquired Willie Mitchell and they've focused that 217 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:46.360 season was defensive goal tending, and it's gonna it's I 218 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.080 look at this forward group and again nothing against anybody, 219 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.679 but there's not a lot of depth there. And with 220 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:55.039 Adam Foote coaching, who handled the blue line the last 221 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.360 couple of years, multiple years, they're going to have to 222 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.759 focus on team defense in a big, big way, absolutely, 223 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.960 you know, and so much depends on Damko's return to health. 224 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.279 And as I stayed as I stay at the obvious. 225 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.120 But if they think they're gonna outscore people, they're dreaming looking. 226 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.120 It depends on Petterson if he can return to the 227 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.919 one hundred point guy, don Hey, this things could be 228 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:17.639 a whole lot better. It can be a whole lot 229 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.799 better if he returns to the one hundred and two 230 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.919 point Petterson. We know. 231 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.799 Yeah. The other thing when when I look at this 232 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:28.039 group is uh, and I'm I'm paraphrasing here, but didn't 233 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.200 your Muther but say there was gonna be three trades 234 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.919 and they were, they were, they were going to improve. 235 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.320 They tried, don they tried. I heard Patrick Alvin in 236 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:41.879 August was a little bit frustrated. He couldn't find any 237 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.519 dance partners. He was looking for the two line center. 238 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.679 They went after Rossie, they didn't get close. They went 239 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.879 after Roslevic. Then they decided to back off. They you know, 240 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.440 Mason McTavish, they would love to get in Vancouver, but 241 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.159 he's too pricey. Mason McTavish, if you can, if you 242 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.840 don't got the assets to get Rossie, how the hell 243 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.519 are you gonna get Mason McTavish, Like, I mean, come on, 244 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.720 they don't have the assets. They don't have the draft capital. 245 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.799 They don't have a third run pick this year, don't 246 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.519 have a second run pick next. Other than that, they 247 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.159 don't have salary cap. They got three point two million. Hey, 248 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.480 look if another if the Canucks had a second line 249 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:19.799 center and some other team asks the Canucks for a 250 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.960 second line center, the Canucks would ask for an arm 251 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.840 and a leg in return. There there are second line 252 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.279 centers are expensive. Nobody wants to give him away, and 253 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.360 the Canucks are finding this The reason gave one away, 254 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.720 the reason they're in this mess because they traded Horvat 255 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.960 and Miller and got two top four defenseman back, but 256 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.639 they never got a scud centerman back, and that's why 257 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:42.279 they're struggling. 258 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.080 No, No, the focus of their team, the strength their team, 259 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:49.559 clearly the blue line. Yes, and if he stays healthy, 260 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:51.120 the Goltenning. 261 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:55.080 Goltending, I'm super excited about the Goltending. Lancoln is the 262 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.080 highest paid backup the Canucks have ever had. And because 263 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.360 you're given four point five million to the back, you 264 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.840 don't have to overplay Demco. He doesn't have to play 265 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:05.320 sixty four games anymore. He doesn't have to play fifty 266 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:08.000 five or sixty. You can rest him now and get 267 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:09.240 through the year without injuries. 268 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.879 This or we'll focus on the forward group as part 269 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.320 of our poll question and we'll introduce that in the 270 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:21.240 third segment. Here's what else is coming up on the show. 271 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.679 DTMZ is just me in the eleven o'clock Are we go? 272 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:25.879 The birthday is ready for today? 273 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.720 Well birthdays are ready? 274 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.679 Yeah, not right now, but you don't win, DTMZ.

But Craig 278 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.039 spent much of his childhood at least his teenage years 279 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.639 in Montreal in the seventies. When you know who was 280 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.679 in goal for the Montreal Canadians, riling off individual awards 281 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.679 and Stanley Cups, the late great Ken Dryden, who left 282 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.799 us on the weekend. We'll talk with Craig about that, 283 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.519 among other things involving the national hockey like Big Ride, 284 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:02.200 the Twitter guy coming up later this hour and up next, 285 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.679 And I know you were looking forward to this all week. 286 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.080 Your buddy Ross Tucker from the Ross Tucker Football Podcast 287 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:14.879 Westwood One and CBS Sports.

We taped 291 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:28.360 this interview with Ross Jalen Carter in the spitting incident, 292 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.320 and BOYD does he have some things to say about 293 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.440 what happened? I mean the Ravens Bills great game, awesome, 294 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:38.039 but also what happened with Lamar Jackson getting physical with 295 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:41.480 a fan in Buffalo. Russell has some things to say 296 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:45.360 about that.

Ross, 310 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:44.919 I hope you had a great summer. How are you, sir? 311 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.320 I did, had a fantastic summer. I love ableauctions dot CA. 312 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.799 It's good to see you guys. Good to talk with you. 313 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:54.399 What was the highlight of the summer for you? 314 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:01.399 Ooh, good question. That would be too tough to choose 315 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:06.639 between them. I'm a big Jersey shore guy, so the 316 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.720 New Jersey Shore and going most weekends is my favorite thing. 317 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.279 But we also took a family vacation to Africa, oh, 318 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.840 which is once in a lifetime experience, which is very 319 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.960 very cool to see all those animals and do the 320 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:23.919 Safari thing. 321 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:25.440 So those are the two highlights. 322 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.679 Yeah, I've got a cousin guy going to Africa next 323 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.200 month as a matter of fact. Okay, Ross Football. 324 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.399 Last night, Monday Night Football, Vikings come back. 325 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.360 They beat the Bears. What did you think of Caleb 326 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:41.759 Williams start and JJ McCarthy's finish. 327 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:43.879 Well, I think it's very important, first of all that 328 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.200 we all come to conclusions on these two young quarterbacks 329 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.440 immediately today, right, I mean, I think we can all 330 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.440 determine what their future will be forever. 331 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:54.320 Now. 332 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:58.639 You know what, it's another good lesson for being careful 333 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.360 what you post during the because you gotta let it 334 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.119 play out. You know, Caleb Williams did some really positive 335 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.839 things on that first drive. I feel like maybe the 336 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.519 best thing he does is throw the ball on the 337 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.279 move with velocity. It's super impressive. And then you know, 338 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:17.559 the other part of that is I thought he looked 339 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.279 faster than he had in quite some time. I mean, 340 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.240 he went over twenty miles an hour on the GPS. 341 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.680 That was impressive. And then McCarthy, I mean, for three 342 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:31.279 quarters it looked like he was overwhelmed. It looked like 343 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.880 the game was too fast for him. And then for 344 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.519 him to ultimately be able to perform the way he 345 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:42.359 did super super impressive. I mean on the road back 346 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.519 in his hometown. You know, you can see why he 347 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.000 was able to win the national championship. He just has 348 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:50.079 I don't know if I'm gonna say it, I don't 349 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:53.359 know if I'm gonna that far, but he definitely has a 350 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.519 way about him that enables him to perform his best 351 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:00.519 when when it really comes down to crunch, which is 352 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:02.680 obviously a great, great trait to have. 353 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.000 Ross the bills. In the Ravens bails down by fifteen 354 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.759 with seven minutes to go, a lot of people left 355 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:13.680 the stadium. Did you believe that Josh Allen could do 356 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:14.240 what he did? 357 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:20.400 I would say, I don't ever disbelieve in Josh Allen. 358 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.960 I mean, I've been around the guy a bunch. At 359 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.680 this point, he's almost like too good to be true. Yeah, 360 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.839 you know, you know, first of all, he has like 361 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:38.440 every positive trait you would want in a quarterback, you know, big, strong, athletic, accurate, 362 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:40.559 great arm, all those things. 363 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.160 But just an awesome guy, you know. 364 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.000 I mean he's like a gem of a guy, great 365 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:51.279 looking kid. You know, He's exactly what you would. 366 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:52.960 Want in a franchise quarterback. 367 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.559 And so I don't put you know, the combination of 368 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:01.240 Josh being who he is and the issues that the 369 00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:05.759 Ravens have had closing out games, that's I think a 370 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.759 really good reason. 371 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:09.880 Why nobody should have given up on the game. 372 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.440 And I think it bothered Josh Adam a little bit. 373 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.200 He mentioned it. Now, they had a bunch of good 374 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:17.680 things happen, right, I mean, you have the tip tip 375 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:23.599 fall that gets the touchdown. Derrick Henry, who never fumbles fumbles. 376 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.240 I mean, they had a bunch of good fortune, but 377 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.200 you also have to take advantage of that good fortune, 378 00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:32.000 and they did. 379 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.000 Hey, I want to talk to you about the spitting 380 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:39.640 incident Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter.

And Carter 382 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.000 ross very. 383 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.160 You know what's funny about that. By the way, I 384 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.000 haven't really talked about this anywhere else. 385 00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.480 Wow.

They've moved on with their life. 390 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:09.279 I moved on with mine. The one guy I think 391 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:11.640 had serious issues and I was worried gonna try to 392 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.880 kill me. The other guy, I kept yelling at Marvin Lewis, 393 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:17.839 the Bengals head coach, to get him back out in 394 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:20.359 the field because I wanted to try to kill him 395 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:21.720 after he did it. 396 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.160 But yeah, I guess neither one of those got called 397 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:25.680 on video. 398 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:29.119 You know, they were not the opening night game with 399 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:30.160 sixty cameras. 400 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:31.720 Nobody got ejected. 401 00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.599
