WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.040 It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:23.280 Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee. 3 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.280 All right, no final, our final hour. You would think 4 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.559 i'd i'd be fresh and not have to, you know, 5 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.679 learn how to speak. As I was cutting commercials there 6 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:35.920 during the break like I was ripping. I was reading 7 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.399 and ripping, as they say, reading copy ripping liners, and 8 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.280 somehow I was unable to smoothly get this hour started. 9 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.719 Let me apologize first and foremost, and let you know 10 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.359 that it is the five o'clock hour here on Coffee 11 00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.399 and Company.

But if there's some scenario in a 16 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.520 wild world where you haven't, I can't really see how 17 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.560 that's possible.

All right, so the Friday vibes are 26 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.840 heavy even though it's not Friday, it's Thursday. I am 27 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:29.239 choosing to embrace Thursday as the new Friday during football 28 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.200 season because we really only have two days where there's 29 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.200 no football on. If you think about it, it's pretty great. 30 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:36.799 That's why it's the best time of the year because 31 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.319 you get a good matchup on Monday night football, then 32 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.159 you have Tuesday Wednesday to kind of, you know, lick 33 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.400 your wounds if you lose bets or maybe you know, 34 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.400 if you win, you can start putting your parlays, putting 35 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:51.480 your picks together. 36 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:52.120 For the upcoming week. 37 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:53.959 I mean, when I talk football, I know I do 38 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.120 talk a lot about the wagering aspect of it, and 39 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.159 I need to remind myself there are people that don't 40 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.840 wager and don't bet, and that's fine. Like I'm not 41 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.200 judging you at all. If you're still enjoying it in 42 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:05.799 a major way and you don't need to bet, then 43 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.159 you know, do you? But it tied like I don't know, 44 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:09.800 I can't be the only one that in recent years. 45 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:11.039 And it's not because i'm and I mean this in 46 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.599 all sincerity. I'm not like a degenerate gambler who has 47 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.879 to gamble on everything. In fact, I've probably bet less 48 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.080 bets this year than I have in previous years when 49 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.960 it comes to the first few weeks of college football, 50 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.360 but I've still enjoyed it, and in fact, betting less 51 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.080 and focusing more so on specific games rather than trying 52 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.479 to bet on everything has so far been a better 53 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.360 strategy for me. But I think you're that way too, John, 54 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:33.599 Like I could be wrong here, You tell me if 55 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.520 I'm wrong. You've always kept up with college sports, you 56 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.680 know enough, and you clearly have a rooting interest for 57 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.759 the Indiana Hoosiers. But I feel like you being a 58 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.360 better now and a successful one up to this point 59 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.719 has helped you kind of stay up today with what's 60 00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:47.800 going on in sport. 61 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.479 Definitely find myself a lot more invested in games that 62 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.120 I would otherwise not care nearly as much about, and 63 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.039 I think that's added not even just a level of stake, 64 00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:58.400 but like it adds more fun to it all. 65 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.159 Yeah, it's all entertainment, man, And I guess and if 66 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.800 you're still entertained that you don't need a bet, then 67 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.199 then you know that's great. Like trust me, I'm not 68 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.439 passing any judgment by those who aren't into the sports 69 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.800 gambling side of it. But again, take away the investment 70 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.520 just because you know, I mean, there is an investment, 71 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.120 which is why you're trying to get information and figure 72 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.919 out what you think is going to happen. But wagering 73 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.800 aside doing that part of the process keeps like I 74 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.280 feel like I now am more knowledgeable of, you know, 75 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.639 the landscape of college football specifically because I wager on it. 76 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.639 So it's a win win and you know, last year 77 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:31.919 I did not have a good year when it comes 78 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.400 to college football. This year so far, so good, like 79 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.120 for example, And I don't mind telling bite. I don't 80 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.319 mind at all telling anybody this because I again, I 81 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.479 put in fifty bucks because here's what I do, and 82 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:44.879 I'm just be transparent with you when it comes to 83 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:51.000 sports wagering. I bet on really two sports three college basketball, 84 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:55.080 college football in the NFL. When college basketball season comes 85 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:56.879 to when the college basketball season comes to an end, 86 00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.280 I will empty out my account of all money other 87 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.360 than maybe like ten to fifteen bucks in case I 88 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.240 want to bet on the NBA or something like that, 89 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.800 or bet on something else. And you know, it's never 90 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.479 a huge chunk of money, but more often than not, 91 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.560 like I end up taking out more money than I 92 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.800 put in initially. But like right now, the when Week 93 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.319 zero started and you had those handful of games, I 94 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.639 put in fifty bucks and I haven't had to put 95 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.399 any more money in And right now I'm at like 96 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.959 one twenty seven. So it's not like I'm I'm I'm 97 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.959 cleaning up, but you know, I feel pretty good about 98 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.279 where I'm at, and I'll probably bet this even if 99 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:34.600 that number grows double in the next two weeks. I'm 100 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.360 still going to make the same type of wagers because again, 101 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.079 it's not if I can put any money away, that's 102 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:41.879 just an added bonus to me. It's all from an 103 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.120 entertainment standpoint. And you know, if you haven't tried it, 104 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.199 then clearly you haven't had that. You know you don't 105 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.000 need to. I mean, I would encourage that you give 106 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.360 it a shot. See if you like it, but like 107 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.240 enjoy it however you want to enjoy it. But I 108 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:53.959 long story short, what I'm getting at is I do 109 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.800 need to remind myself that when it comes to talking 110 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.519 college football, like we don't always have to make it 111 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.079 about wagering, but when it's not about teams that I 112 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.920 really care about, that's all I really focused on, to 113 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.399 be honest with you. Now, there's other games, like, for example, 114 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.120 you know the Georgia Tech Syracuse game this past weekend. 115 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:10.560 I didn't bet on that, but that was something I 116 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.800 monitored and wanted to kind of see the outcome because 117 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.800 obviously Syracuse beating Georgia Tech took a little bit of 118 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.879 the value potential value away from Louisville beating Georgia Tech. 119 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:21.759 There's nothing you can do about that, and who knows, 120 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.199 maybe they don't beat Georgia Tech next week. But anyways, 121 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.120 Tuesday and Wednesday are days where there's no football, but 122 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.759 you get Thursday night both NFL and College Friday. I 123 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.480 don't know what the schedule looks like for Friday night 124 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.800 games like the rest of the year, but we had 125 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.120 some good Friday night games last weekend that I enjoyed. 126 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.920 And then tomorrow, I mean tomorrow night, you've got I 127 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.199 don't think there's any big time games, but usually you're 128 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.800 gonna get a power conference team playing on a Friday. 129 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.120 You got two, actually, you are two games that involve 130 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:52.199 power conversation. 131 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.160 Ranked teams playing. That's right, Arizona and Kansas State. Thank 132 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.160 you for reminding me of that, John, and then Kansas 133 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.160 and UNLV that would have had a little more lester 134 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:03.079 at Kansas not law to Illinois, by the way, real quick, 135 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:04.519 nobody cares about this, but I got to ask you, 136 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.399 this is John, because you're a big ten guy. Illinois 137 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:13.800 rushed the field after beating Kansas. Is that a bigger 138 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.759 sign that, like Illinois is a joke of a frame 139 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.800 of a football school, or is that a bigger sign 140 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.439 that like Lance Leepold in Kansas that's his name, right, Yeah, 141 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.720 Like they were ranked and like beating them was a 142 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.160 pretty big win for Illinois. 143 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.360 Like I think it's more of where Illinois has been 144 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.639 the last several years. Again, it's pretty irrelevant because when 145 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.279 you are storming on Kansas, even though they are a 146 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.240 lot better than they used to be, it's still Kansas football. 147 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.920 I'm sure Kansas felt honored, honestly to have their field 148 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:42.360 stormed off. 149 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.040 Of course, Yeah, I mean I thoct like you could 150 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.600 lose that and feel disappointed as a Kansas football fan, 151 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.560 although like what a weird world that would be a 152 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.319 Kansas football fan, Like you were quite literally the worst. 153 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.240 I mean, there was not even a close second as 154 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.240 far as the worst team in college football at the 155 00:06:58.279 --> 00:06:59.120 power level for. 156 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.000 A long long time. 157 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.639 And you know, they went to a bowl game last year, 158 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.720 they've been they were ranked, So you know, if you're Kansas, 159 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.040 I'm sure there's really no silver lining and a loss 160 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.759 this early, especially when you do have expectations like they had. 161 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.600 But like somebody's a big ten team storm in the 162 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.399 field and really feeling like they did something special by 163 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.879 beating you. I mean I kind of feel like, I 164 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:23.439 don't know, I kind of feel like that that's a 165 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.639 good look on Kansas in a way. 166 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.680 And I hate to say it, but Indiana would have 167 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.759 done the exact same thing if they were in that position. 168 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:31.639 Hey, at least you're honest, right, at least you know, 169 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.040 I mean, Indiana beating a ranked team. When's the last 170 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:35.920 time that happened outside the COVID year it. 171 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.560 Was Michigan State. I don't remember what year was exactly, 172 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.639 but they hit a game winning field goal from Griffin Oaks, 173 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.600 and they twined, they tore the goal post down. I 174 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:45.000 love that. 175 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:50.079 So I love fan bases who don't take themselves too 176 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.879 seriously and can make fun of themselves. And I don't 177 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.519 know if I would say that like any of the 178 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.879 local fan bases, Like I don't think Louisville or Kentucky 179 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.360 fans are good at that. And honestly, that's because we 180 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.639 do take this very seriously. For the most part, We've 181 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:04.879 we've been accustomed to success throughout a good chunk of 182 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.680 our time as fans. Although Kentucky Football, to be honest 183 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.519 with you, it's changed now with Stoops. But they were 184 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.519 pretty good at making fun of themselves during the you know, 185 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.360 the down eras and now they you know, they they 186 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.120 they've got their chest out a little bit more because 187 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.519 obviously they've had some some legitimate, you know, accomplishments for 188 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.240 their standard during the during the Stoops era. But yeah, 189 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.319 like I I love it, like the Browns used to 190 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:27.560 be that way, Like I could. I used to listen 191 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.279 to a lot of Cleveland sports radio because one of 192 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:30.839 my buddies, I call him a buddy. I don't know 193 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:32.320 if he called me the same, but somebody that I 194 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.840 when I wanted to do radio. I really loved his 195 00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.320 show and I reached out to him before I was 196 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:37.919 able to do this full time and was like, hey, man, 197 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.000 I'm a big fan, I'm a listener. I'm working part 198 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.879 time at a at a at a station in in 199 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.960 in a smaller market here in the Kentucky area. Would 200 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:47.559 love to learn from me. And he was really receptive, 201 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:48.879 and I've kept up with him here and there, and 202 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.159 you know, whenever I ended up getting an opportunity to 203 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:53.720 do this full time, I remember he reached out to 204 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.240 me and was like, man, that's awesome. I never I 205 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:56.960 get a lot of emails from people that you know, 206 00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.039 want to do this and pursue it, and here you are. 207 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.440 So anyways, he was so funny at making fun of 208 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.159 the Cleveland Browns, but he's a Browns fan, and the 209 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.200 Browns fans loved it like it was it was. It 210 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.000 was really sad, but like wholesome thing, if that makes sense, right, 211 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.000 Like what else can we do? Just laugh at ourselves 212 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.320 because we're gonna always love our team, but man, we suck. 213 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.399 Bengals fans were like that too. That's why I always 214 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:21.480 bring up Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow Gabe Cincinnati some swagger 215 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.600 that I'm not sure they ever knew that they could 216 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.840 ever have. I mean maybe way back in the day, 217 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.200 back you know, long before I was watching Bengles football. 218 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:29.879 But like the Bengals used to just be at the 219 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:31.639 Bungles that they would the would they would always find 220 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.480 a way to screw something up and that or they 221 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.919 were never good and Joe Burrow gave him some confidence 222 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.240 to them to a Super Bowl. Have you seen the 223 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:38.159 Burrough controversy? 224 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:38.360 Though? 225 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:39.720 What is the controversy? 226 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.759 So he's dealing with a wrist injury and that is, 227 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.320 you know, something he's been recovering from. But he's you know, 228 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:49.480 he's been healthy, he's been cleared to play in preseason 229 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:51.799 camp and whatnot. And he didn't play in the preseason 230 00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.360 games much because, as we discussed yesterday when we had 231 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.639 Ken Spencer on, like, they do enough in practice, especially 232 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:02.440 when they practice with other teams, to where if you've 233 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.519 got a guy who is your franchise, you invested so 234 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:07.399 much money and he does have an injury history, I 235 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:08.840 wouldn't play him in the preseason. 236 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:10.000 I mean, what would you. 237 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:11.559 Get out of playing a guy who you lose for 238 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.960 the whole mean, you can never operate as if at 239 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.039 any moment you're gonna you know, get hit by a 240 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.720 bus and die or get injured and never play again. 241 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.840 But like when you know that this game has no value, 242 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.960 I'm not playing my starters much at all, to be 243 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.200 honest with you, if that was me, I think there's 244 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.039 a way to get them repetition to where you're not 245 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:32.679 putting him out there in a meaningless game where they 246 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.039 are playing real football and you could get hurt. But anyways, 247 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:38.600 Burrow has an injury to his wrist that he's you know, 248 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.960 supposed to be fully recovered from. He claims everything's okay, 249 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.679 but there's a video that has gone viral. I'm looking 250 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.960 at two different clips here on Twitter of him picking 251 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.399 up First of all, there it shows him on the 252 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:54.159 sideline or him in the huddle kind of moving his 253 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.559 wrist around a little bit like it's bothering him, and 254 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.000 he's also kind of looking as if he's doing it discreetly. 255 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:01.679 And then he try to pick up a gatorade bottle 256 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.039 and it looks as if he couldn't do it, like 257 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.759 his wrist was like hurting him that bad. He didn't 258 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.320 give any kind of like a visual grimace. That that 259 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.960 makes sense. But like his his his wrist didn't look 260 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.480 like it it was able to do what. 261 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.039 He was trying to do. But here's what he had 262 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:15.679 to say about it. 263 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:17.440 Yeah, I'm doing that all the time. 264 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:19.919 When you come back from injury, you're always trying to 265 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.279 keep the joint loose. That's part of ligament injuries. If 266 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.879 you don't move it, you're gonna lose it. So I'm 267 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:27.799 always moving around. 268 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.039 Keeping keeping it loose, keeping my mobility the way that 269 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:31.519 it's supposed to be. 270 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.320 So you know it's gonna continue to happen. I do 271 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.240 it at home, I do it here. That makes sense. 272 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.480 I mean, he didn't play well, but I'm not sure 273 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.080 it was the wrist that was the issue. He just 274 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.000 didn't play well. Already been you bched him. 275 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:42.440 I did. 276 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:44.279 That. 277 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.639 That explains why he looks so sad in this press conference. 278 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.759 He knows, he knows she put his ass on the bench. 279 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:50.720 Who'd you start, Jared Goff? 280 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:52.919 Okay, I like it just because you know he'll throw 281 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.600 it across the yard. You will, do you have any 282 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.399 other lions on your team? 283 00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.200 I don't think. I'm just thinking like the if you 284 00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:59.919 had Saint Is it Saint Brown? Yes? 285 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.120 I mean, like if you that'd be a good duo 286 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:03.799 I would have in Fantasy'd be tough to get those two, 287 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:04.320 but that's like. 288 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.000 You know, I Burrow and Chase. But like now I 289 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.919 Buster are playing the Chiefs this week, so I'm. 290 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.519 Like, yeah, yeah, I don't actually, you know, I don't 291 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.159 know much about your fantasy squad, but like. 292 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.240 I want to know though, my very first fantasy league ever, 293 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.000 I'm want to know hopefully can continue for me. 294 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:18.600 Did we talk about this on the show or was 295 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.120 it just you and I talking it was off the 296 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.279 air because John for the first time is in a 297 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.320 fantasy football league, and I feel like that's a rare 298 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.480 thing for somebody to be joining fantasy football after they've 299 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.840 already been in the sports gambling space. Yeah, are you 300 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:33.320 into it? 301 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.399 I'm enjoying it so far, man, for you what the 302 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:38.559 like the addictive side of it is like just kind 303 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.919 of managing your team and just seeing where everybody's at 304 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:42.559 and how they're doing. It's kind of fun. I'm enjoying 305 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:42.960 it so far. 306 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.960 I don't think that my league's woldever kick me out. Especially, 307 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.039 I would hope that my league I mean, if anything, 308 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.799 I've been consistently bad at like at times forgetting to 309 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.559 set a lineup or setting a lineup and then not 310 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.039 realizing the morning of that somebody got hurt, like I'm 311 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.000 that guy, and they've just kind of think accepted it. 312 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:00.919 But I at least as and it's easy to say 313 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.240 this when it's September the twelfth, but I have tried 314 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.440 my best, uh so far, and I'm gonna try to 315 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.960 maintain this throughout the entire year to not be that guy, 316 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.720 because it really is a it's a jerk move to 317 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.519 be in a league and you just not take it serious, 318 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.600 not set your lineup. And again, I know a lot 319 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.320 of people are thinking this right now, Coffee. If you 320 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.200 did this in my league, your ass would be out 321 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.440 because he's seriously, people, you know, if you're gonna compete, 322 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.440 you're gonna compete. If I'm out there and not taking 323 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.279 it serious, that could give somebody an undeserving win just 324 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.080 because I didn't set my roster and it could shake 325 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.120 up some things. So you know, they haven't given me 326 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:32.639 a talking to, But I feel like this year at 327 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:34.120 the draft, I could kind of sense they want me 328 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.000 to be on They want me to take a little 329 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.480 more serious. No, I mean they it was more of 330 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.960 like they were making. 331 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:42.600 I thought of it. 332 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.559 They were making fun of me, and it felt like, man, 333 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.559 they've been holding it in, if that makes sense. Like 334 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.080 they were you know, I think they loved me. Were 335 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.600 These are people that I've known for no exaggeration, twenty 336 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.440 five plus years and are one, you know, one of 337 00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.440 the many we all still communicate. But the one thing 338 00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.519 that keeps us all in a group chat together, the 339 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:02.200 one aim annual day every year we get together and 340 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:05.279 all enjoy each other's company, reminisce and you know, do 341 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.720 the fantasy football draft. You know, that's that's what the 342 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:10.919 that's what this league is. So you know, I don't 343 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:12.679 think they'd ever kicked me out, but I felt like 344 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.799 I'd let my squad down a little bit by being 345 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.080 the guy that like doesn't keep up with it as much. 346 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.120 And you know, but I'd never like, I'd never leave 347 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:20.639 the league. 348 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.519 And if anybody ever does talk about like getting rid 349 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.360 of the league, I fight for the league, but idd 350 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.120 to it because it just gives me, you know, it's 351 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:30.360 it's my connection to my boys, to my guys that 352 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:32.960 you know, I hope to be friends like I wouldn't 353 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.840 be shocked, and I'm not even exaggerating, I wouldn't be 354 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.919 shocked if this is a league that lasts for forty years. 355 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.240 I mean, God willing that we're all still around. I mean, 356 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.559 forty years from now is a long way away. But 357 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:45.200 we've already been in this league for no joke, thirteen years, 358 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:50.799 fourteen years maybe, So yeah, now you've got that off. 359 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.240 It stuck in my head because I could just picture 360 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:54.559 them saying, coffee, what are you doing? 361 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:54.759 Man? 362 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.559 And that's what immediately thought of. The guy just calling 363 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.519 you coffee. You know now that you say that, I U, 364 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.279 I don't know.
