59
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 2>days after the fact about Jake's word. I didn't even

60
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.639
<v Speaker 2>think anything of it because I thought it was okay.

61
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say I can't say that. You

62
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>can't you can say a whole Oh, you can't say

63
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing. So you caught in the in the

64
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>in the in the.

65
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah post, yeah yeah, because we looked at in the

66
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:06.919
<v Speaker 3>in the podcast.

67
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Because I know you were flagging. You were flagging, and

68
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>you're looking like it's okay, isn't it. I just know

69
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>you can't say that's good to know.

70
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

71
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 3>I mean we've said I guess a whole is okay,

72
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, but you can't say the other one the

73
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 3>whole thing.

74
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I said, I kind of lot this said, okay,

75
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>what's the good.

76
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Jake doesn't do that very oft.

77
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, but we stirred him up a little.

78
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

79
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, well another yeah, he never mentioned I didn't

80
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 2>even ask him who the guy was who he thought.

81
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>You could probably guess you can yess. But okay, So

82
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.479
<v Speaker 2>we get about ten days away from the big game

83
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 2>here in New Mexico plays this weekend. Right, they're almost

84
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>a ten point dog, right, who's an f C. They're

85
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 2>an f CS team, but they're a good f CS team.

86
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.960
<v Speaker 2>They win the Nasty Champion. They're like North Dakota State.

87
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're They're one of those teams in that in

88
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 3>the hierarchy of FCS.

89
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 2>So that game is what Saturday is on Saturday. Okay,

90
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 2>So I'm sure we'll see that somewhere.

91
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 4>I think it's on somewhere. I can't remember.

92
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:14.879
<v Speaker 2>That's good to know. So we'll watch that just a

93
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>preview what's coming up.

94
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 3>And actually that, you know, I think I think that

95
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 3>helps Arizona to go to be you know, to get

96
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, a look at look at uh New Mexico, Uh,

97
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 3>you know before because they're not you know, New Mexico's

98
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 3>not gonna New Mexico is not going to have the

99
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 3>tape of the Yeah, any kind of look at Arizona

100
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 3>before they play. So I think that probably benefits Arizona

101
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 3>more than anything.

102
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, it's not like they'll lead it because of

103
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 2>a thirty point favorite.

104
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, ab out there, but you know, any little thing

105
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 3>you can help. Look, you don't want to be taking

106
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 3>any chances.

107
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 2>No wonder Stupids was afraid of serving somebody on the

108
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>on the ledge over there on six Street watching us

109
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>watching Arizona. Any advantage the advantage.

110
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know where that it's got to be

111
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 3>on TV summer because it's only four games, right, you

112
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 3>think somebody's gonna put those games on Now, there's a

113
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 3>there's a there's an early game that the game that's

114
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 3>in in Ireland, Georgia Tech and Florida State that you

115
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 3>know that'll be nasturally televised. I know that Hawaii plays there,

116
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.360
<v Speaker 3>so there's like a nine o'clock game at night on

117
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 3>that So I'm not seeing where that game. Oh it

118
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 3>says it's on FS one. Okay, so Mexico Montana State.

119
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's a big deal because I'm sure it's a

120
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 2>payday for both people.

121
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 3>Right, and then the game with it with Arizona is

122
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 3>an ESPN game that's a seven thirty game.

123
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 2>So okay. In the first week of school, we got

124
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.040

<v Speaker 4>Well, that's late, isn't Usually it starts it would start

129
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:53.639
<v Speaker 4>like like day right.

130
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the traffic already out there, traffic sorry on Speedway,

131
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, everybody coming in the pack and too after

132
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>kids go and be relieved at home.

133
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah you know.

134
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So what else? Practice for football was again today

135
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>they were back. I didn't go to practice or to

136
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>scrimmage on Saturday or whatever it was practice on Saturday. Yeah,

137
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean I texted, I knew you weren't going to go.

138
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna kind of go if I was encouraged.

139
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Anthony decided not to go, and I think, what can

140
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.120
<v Speaker 2>we look at? And we're looking at stuff but we

141
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>can't write about it, right, so what's the point. Yeah,

142
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>And I get the people that go because they have

143
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>to go, you know, the Justin Spears world.

144
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.639
<v Speaker 3>Like that, Steve, I've been so busy with this, you know,

145
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.639
<v Speaker 3>move with my daughter and stuff like that that I've

146
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 3>just not I have no idea what's going on right.

147
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Now right, I haven't read the storylines myself. But the

148
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.240
<v Speaker 2>good thing is it looks like t Mac is back

149
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>uh competing, so that's always and uh and the quarterback

150
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 2>and no is doing really well, so we'll see. We'll

151
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.120

192
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 2>been like three four weeks. I mean, they're really that long.

193
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.639
<v Speaker 2>They're taking chunks like sixty miles a day.

194
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh, okay, two, but then they hang out and go

195
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 4>golfing in between her.

196
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Three rest man, it's like, what did you do after

200
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Trying to do that for a month. So so that's

201
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 2>what we'll try to track him down to get that journey.

202
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:43.080
<v Speaker 2>To get that journey.

203
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've been seeing pictures and stuff. I realized that

204
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 3>he was doing some kind of a long term by

205
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.360
<v Speaker 3>excursion whatever you want to call it.

206
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 4>I just didn't see exactly what it was. But you know,

207
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.639
<v Speaker 4>because I've been, you know, seeing.

208
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 3>The pictures and stuff that he's been posting, but not interesting,

209
00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, do something like that, you know, I once

210
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 3>covered a uh I guess it was a competition where

211
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 3>they rode from here to the Grand Canyon and oh.

212
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they have that. They still do that. I'm not

213
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 2>too sure what they do have. Yeah, when I've done

214
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 2>when I was the editor tail, when we used to

215
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 2>do that story with people who did that often. And

216
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 2>they have the race across America from one end of

217
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 2>America to the next and the one you described. Uh, it's, uh,

218
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 2>you have to be a hardcore to be have to

219
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 2>be something wrong with you.

220
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.320
<v Speaker 4>Competitors are too loose to do that.

221
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 2>They're tough competitors. Man, it's it's it's an adventure. Uh

222
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 2>that then, did you ever cover? And then we're kind

223
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 2>of going off track as usual. L walta. That was

224
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.080
<v Speaker 2>that was a lot of fun because there you go

225
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:49.399
<v Speaker 2>to Bisbeean and what's all over the place for freaking

226
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:53.919
<v Speaker 2>going past and drink here? Right right? Okay, again, let's

227
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>talk about today's guests.

228
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 3>Yep, we've got Kevin Guy, head coach of Theirs on

229
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.639
<v Speaker 3>the Rattlers on the side. He's one of the owners

230
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:02.440
<v Speaker 3>of the teas on Sugar Sculls, but as head coach

231
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 3>of the Rattlers, they won their seventh.

232
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:11.000
<v Speaker 4>Championship. Uh he's uh, you know it. We'll have to

233
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 4>ask him.

234
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Because they got off to not a great start. I

235
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:14.679
<v Speaker 2>think they were two and two at one point.

236
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 3>They were having some quarterback issues, but they obviously got

237
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 3>things figured out, went on a stretch, got the number

238
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.240
<v Speaker 3>three seed in their division, which was kind of unusual,

239
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.960
<v Speaker 3>but then from there went off and won the won

240
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.440
<v Speaker 3>the championship and beat the hell out of Massachusetts like

241
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 3>fifty nine to thirteen or fifty nine to sixteen or

242
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 3>something like that.

243
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 2>It was something awful. They were up a whole bunch

244
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:39.039
<v Speaker 2>at that.

245
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.720
<v Speaker 3>They were shut they're pitching a shutout at halftime, which

246
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.039
<v Speaker 3>is unheard of in the indoor football league.

247
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 4>So they've won.

248
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.559
<v Speaker 3>They've won a championship. So we'll get uh, well, we'll

249
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 3>talk to him. And also just asked me, you know,

250
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.720
<v Speaker 3>well went on at the Sugar Sculls look simple? They

251
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:54.720
<v Speaker 3>had revolving doork quarterback.

252
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:55.000
<v Speaker 4>Sure.

253
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>So no, No, it's funny, you said, because you're close

254
00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.559
<v Speaker 2>to him, I like to tease him, as you know, Yeah,

255
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna try to do and I'd like to tease her,

256
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 2>but he's not in the room.

257
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.679
<v Speaker 4>That's the best time because what it wants the best way.

258
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you'll say, well, Steve, what tell you ask me

259
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 2>these questions? So but you know, it's it's gonna be

260
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>fun because he hadn't you hadn't won one.

261
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 4>It's in the twenty seventeen.

262
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that for him, that's long, that's a drought.

263
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, we'll talk to him about how that felt.

264
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, especially when the drought is because you've been bringing

265
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 3>bringing in as a part of the inn Footballague, bringing

266
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.519
<v Speaker 3>in all these teams who kind of passed you, right,

267
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 3>you know there's some new teams that have won. You know,

268
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Bay Area won the championship last year. I think Massachusetts

269
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:38.200
<v Speaker 3>won a couple of years ago. So in expansion and good,

270
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 3>that's the goal to bring in quality. Well, they brought

271
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 3>in teams that have won championships, so it's made it

272
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.840
<v Speaker 3>harder for him, but they come back and win one.

273
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:45.919
<v Speaker 4>So uh.

274
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 2>So he's a I called that them Mike Cadrea syndrome,

275
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.879
<v Speaker 2>right right. You know, you create this monster. Everybody wants

276
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>to be that monster and eventually create what you don't want.

277
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, you created your opponents that are pretty god damn.

278
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:00.919
<v Speaker 4>Good exactly, and that that's what he did. So we'll

279
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:01.960
<v Speaker 4>talk to him a little bit about that.

280
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 3>And then at at four fifteen Ken Hockey, Uh yeah,

00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 2>So that should be a lot of fun. So if

304
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.759
<v Speaker 2>you see them around town, there's a reason.

305
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.159
<v Speaker 4>Let them have their dinner.

307
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 2>been busy see him on social he was he was sting.

308
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:22.639
<v Speaker 3>The word out about all this effort to h for

309
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.600
<v Speaker 3>kidney disease and stuff. So been a spokesperson for that.

310
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 3>So he's obviously out there doing a lot more.

311
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Of that I didn't.

312
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize. I'm hoping always speak and maybe half

313
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.039
<v Speaker 2>yours were listening. His daughter played volleyball, I think at

314
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Cal or something like that.

315
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 4>I didn't.

316
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, I think so she's getting married now or

317
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.440
<v Speaker 2>she did. I'm just kind of making a father in law,

318
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.000
<v Speaker 2>mixing my metaphors or mixing my ideas, which is not

319
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.720
<v Speaker 2>a not a not a strange thing. But yeah, I

320
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>think I saw some things that were where he's do

321
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 2>you know what that means? We're all getting old?

<v Speaker 4>When when when the kids are becoming you know, others,

323
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 4>and a lot of stuff like that.

324
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Curs was you know, at his play can Cal and

325
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.080
<v Speaker 2>playing and that was a coach with him. I think, so,

<v Speaker 2>you know, we're not young anymore. No, thirty seven years ago.

435
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.839
<v Speaker 5>I mean just we we had so much adversity this year,

436
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.279
<v Speaker 5>especially the first half of the season. You know, it

437
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.799
<v Speaker 5>kind of started with our our head athletic trainer had

438
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:37.000
<v Speaker 5>a had a really serious car wreck and at the

439
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.079
<v Speaker 5>last week of training camp, and and and roder car

440
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.079
<v Speaker 5>uh you know, four or five six times had a

441
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:45.720
<v Speaker 5>serious head injury went out, you know, for the year

442
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.759
<v Speaker 5>so and then the very next week we play our

443
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.279
<v Speaker 5>first game. You know, we went out in free agency

444
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.319
<v Speaker 5>and signed Dalton Steed, the quarterback that won the championship

445
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.039
<v Speaker 5>the year before for Bay Area, and and and uh

446
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.440
<v Speaker 5>he got he gets hurt the first half of the

447
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:01.880
<v Speaker 5>first game of the season, and he's out for the

448
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:03.799
<v Speaker 5>next six weeks. And then we have a rash of

449
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.359
<v Speaker 5>injuries that that really a lot of our middle pieces.

450
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:09.880
<v Speaker 5>You know, when you build a football team, it's it's

451
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:13.039
<v Speaker 5>it's your quarterback, your center, you know, you're running back

452
00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:15.720
<v Speaker 5>on defense, it's your nose, your linebacker, your safety. And

453
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:18.359
<v Speaker 5>it seemed like every one of our middle pieces got hurt.

454
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.200
<v Speaker 5>And three of them were MCLs that were out they

455
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.440
<v Speaker 5>were gonna be out four to six weeks. Just just uh,

456
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.720
<v Speaker 5>anything that could happen could happen. You know, our our

457
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.920
<v Speaker 5>defensive line coach, or especially was coordinator Jeff Jernigan. He

458
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.319
<v Speaker 5>uh had heart failure and uh I knew something was

459
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:40.720
<v Speaker 5>going on with him, and and his health wasn't you know,

460
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.319
<v Speaker 5>uh up to speed. You know, just he was allowing

461
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:46.119
<v Speaker 5>some things to happen as a coach that he normally

462
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:49.640
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't allow his personality changed. And finally I kind of

463
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 5>saw it after the Iowa game and and you know,

464
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:54.000
<v Speaker 5>and I just told him, I said, when we land,

465
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 5>you're going straight to the burger's room. I got to

466
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.160
<v Speaker 5>find out what's going on with you. And he did,

467
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:02.240
<v Speaker 5>and and uh, you know, he's having an heart failure.

468
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 5>And Doc said he probably wouldn't have another, wouldn't last

469
00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:07.279
<v Speaker 5>another week if he didn't come in. But wow, you know,

470
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.359
<v Speaker 5>so he uh, you know, we had that and and uh,

471
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:13.799
<v Speaker 5>you know, uh, we had to move on from a

472
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:16.599
<v Speaker 5>couple of players. There were some guys that just weren't

473
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.720
<v Speaker 5>happy with their role and and uh, you know, I

474
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:23.240
<v Speaker 5>didn't really like how they were were being used and

475
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:25.680
<v Speaker 5>and you know, you can't make everybody happy, but if

476
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:27.200
<v Speaker 5>they weren't going to be happy, I wanted to get

477
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:28.880
<v Speaker 5>them out of here. And we we kind of moved

478
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:32.119
<v Speaker 5>on from some guys from a character standpoint, and and

479
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, and then we started to get healthy and

480
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.640
<v Speaker 5>and and you know, it all started coming together and

481
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:39.640
<v Speaker 5>and it was it was almost like we were in

482
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.640
<v Speaker 5>the playoffs from misdeed to don because we the Western

483
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.480
<v Speaker 5>Conference was so competitive this year, we couldn't really afford

484
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.319
<v Speaker 5>to drop any games or we're going to miss the playoffs.

485
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.319
<v Speaker 5>And we were just in a different mindset and and uh,

486
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:53.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, we really got hot towards the end and

487
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.960
<v Speaker 5>went on a run and and our guys figured out

488
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 5>a way to finish it.

489
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:58.839
<v Speaker 3>Well, we made Steve mentioned, you know, I'm looking at

490
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:00.519
<v Speaker 3>your schedule. You guys were off to one and three

491
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:02.839
<v Speaker 3>start while all that's all that stuff was going on.

492
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:05.160
<v Speaker 3>You only lost two games rest of the way. Is

493
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.759
<v Speaker 3>there always, though, especially with the you know, the indoor

494
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:10.920
<v Speaker 3>football league where you know, you get a lot of

495
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:13.680
<v Speaker 3>turnover and stuff like that in teams a period to

496
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.759
<v Speaker 3>kind of settle, uh, your your your rosters, settle your

497
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.160
<v Speaker 3>your team. Sometimes it goes well, maybe sometimes it doesn't,

498
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.680
<v Speaker 3>and but there comes a point where things kind of

499
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:25.480
<v Speaker 3>get in order. Is that Is that a correct way

500
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:26.160
<v Speaker 3>to characterize that?

501
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, you know, I guess it comes down to the organization,

502
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 5>the coach and and and and their philosophy. I'm I'm

503
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:37.559
<v Speaker 5>I like to have my answers coming out of training camp.

504
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:39.799
<v Speaker 5>I don't like making a lot of changes. I think

505
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:43.480
<v Speaker 5>this is a developmental league and you want to develop players.

506
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:47.839
<v Speaker 5>And but there's coaches out there that make changes you know, uh,

507
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:50.400
<v Speaker 5>if they don't feel like these guys are playing up

508
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:52.680
<v Speaker 5>the par But you know, we try to make ear

509
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.480
<v Speaker 5>at the ratlers. We try to make training camp so

510
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:58.279
<v Speaker 5>competitive that we have our answers come out of training now.

511
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.519
<v Speaker 5>We unfortunately for us, we felt like we had a

512
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:04.279
<v Speaker 5>lot of the pieces in place. Now we still we

513
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:06.720
<v Speaker 5>added two or three pieces as the year went on,

514
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.480
<v Speaker 5>but a lot of that was because some other guys

515
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:11.640
<v Speaker 5>got hurt. But we felt like we had the pieces,

516
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 5>and then you know, we started getting injured and then

517
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.079
<v Speaker 5>it forced us, you know, to bring some new guys in.

518
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.079
<v Speaker 5>But there was a period of time too that our

519
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:23.000
<v Speaker 5>rosters are so small that you know, when you have

520
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:25.480
<v Speaker 5>these injuries. That's kind of while we went one and

521
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:28.720
<v Speaker 5>three there in that little those first four games, because

522
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:31.359
<v Speaker 5>you know, we kind of got roster locked. We couldn't

523
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:33.559
<v Speaker 5>make any moves. You know, you're not allowed to cut

524
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:36.480
<v Speaker 5>injured players, so you're kind of they're kind of stuck

525
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 5>on your roster. You know, you only get four injured

526
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:43.000
<v Speaker 5>reserve spots, so you got twenty nine spots. Well, you

527
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:45.880
<v Speaker 5>play with twenty one and we had about nine hurts,

528
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.400
<v Speaker 5>so you know, it was it was touch and go

529
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.920
<v Speaker 5>there for a while. But but yes, personally, I like

530
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.000
<v Speaker 5>to have all the answers in training camps so we

531
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:58.599
<v Speaker 5>can develop our players as a year goes on. I'm

532
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:01.480
<v Speaker 5>not a big you know, make a lot of changes,

533
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:03.480
<v Speaker 5>you know, we like to develop it or you know,

534
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:06.960
<v Speaker 5>some chemistry with our with our team and and uh,

535
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 5>but some you know, there's some coaches out there that

536
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.119
<v Speaker 5>do it, and and uh, they've been successful with it.

537
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:16.039
<v Speaker 5>But I also think that, you know, are you built

538
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:17.839
<v Speaker 5>for the long haul? That's why I always look at it.

539
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:21.160
<v Speaker 5>You could there's times that people do it and it works,

540
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:23.720
<v Speaker 5>but are you built for the long haul? And and

541
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.720
<v Speaker 5>and you know, because anybody can catch lightning in the bottle.

542
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 5>But I've always liked to take the other approach that.

543
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Said Jay was saying, it's been about four years since

544
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.279
<v Speaker 2>the last one. How long since last seven? I mean

545
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:39.160
<v Speaker 2>we kind of joke with you, but you're used to winning.

546
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, honestly, you you and you love win. You're good,

547
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:45.200
<v Speaker 2>You're good at it. How did that feel seven years later?

548
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:50.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, you know, you know, we still had some successful

549
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:51.960
<v Speaker 5>years in there in the in the five years that

550
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.680
<v Speaker 5>we didn't win it, but we we went to two championships.

551
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:57.160
<v Speaker 5>During that five year, we made it to the championship game,

552
00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:59.359
<v Speaker 5>but we lost. I mean we we in twenty one,

553
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.240
<v Speaker 5>we lost to Massachusetts, who we just beat this past

554
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:05.839
<v Speaker 5>weekend for the championship. But you know, we lost to

555
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.559
<v Speaker 5>them on the last play in overtime. You know, we

556
00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:11.960
<v Speaker 5>had the ball first and overtime, we fumble on the

557
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:14.279
<v Speaker 5>one yard line. They get it and kicked the field

558
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:16.480
<v Speaker 5>goat and beat us in overtime, and and that's how

559
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.599
<v Speaker 5>we lost that one. In nineteen, we were undefeated. We

560
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:22.319
<v Speaker 5>were undefeated. We were the New England Patriots. Where we

561
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:25.279
<v Speaker 5>went undefeated and we played a team that we've already

562
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:28.440
<v Speaker 5>played twice in regular season, and uh, you know, we

563
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:31.160
<v Speaker 5>wound up losing that game in a close game and

564
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.400
<v Speaker 5>and uh, I believe we lost by three and we

565
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:36.960
<v Speaker 5>all st kicked and got it and a guy that

566
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.720
<v Speaker 5>wasn't even supposed to be in there or not even

567
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.440
<v Speaker 5>a part of the play was off sides. And that

568
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:46.839
<v Speaker 5>was how that game ended. So you know, it was

569
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:48.920
<v Speaker 5>it was tough. And then you know the last two

570
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.039
<v Speaker 5>years that we got beaten in the semifinals and in

571
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.599
<v Speaker 5>the first round we just turned the ball over. And

572
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:58.960
<v Speaker 5>last year you know, I had to do some soul

573
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:01.279
<v Speaker 5>searching because you know, we got beat in the first

574
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:04.359
<v Speaker 5>round and we haven't been beaten the first round and

575
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.799
<v Speaker 5>in almost fifteen years, and and you know, we turned

576
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:10.519
<v Speaker 5>the ball over six times, and I just you know,

577
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.400
<v Speaker 5>Drew Pyele was a great player for us, and and uh,

578
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:15.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, he had a rough night. He turned the

579
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.240
<v Speaker 5>ball over six times, and and uh, you know, I

580
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.319
<v Speaker 5>just felt like, hey, this is the way we've ended

581
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.720
<v Speaker 5>it for three or four years now it you know,

582
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:28.359
<v Speaker 5>he's a three time MVP. A lot of coaches, I know,

583
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:30.359
<v Speaker 5>would have probably been scared to pull the trigger, but

584
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.880
<v Speaker 5>I was just like, you know what, for whatever reason,

585
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:36.400
<v Speaker 5>it's not working for us. So we got to move on.

586
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:39.640
<v Speaker 5>And uh, you know, we we were able to get Dults.

587
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:43.279
<v Speaker 5>Dult Ste grew up here in Arizona with the high school,

588
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:46.039
<v Speaker 5>at the Horizon High School, so you know, I know

589
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:48.559
<v Speaker 5>he wanted to come home and we had an opportunity

590
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:50.160
<v Speaker 5>to get him, and we got him. And then obviously

591
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:53.480
<v Speaker 5>when he got hurt the first first game of the season,

592
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:55.359
<v Speaker 5>I was like, man, this whole thing's about to blow up.

593
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:57.799
<v Speaker 5>You know, we just kind of kept our heads down,

594
00:26:57.880 --> 00:26:59.839
<v Speaker 5>kept working and stayed the course and it all worked

595
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:00.200
<v Speaker 5>out out.

596
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.720
<v Speaker 3>So to just to let everybody know, this is your

597
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:06.440
<v Speaker 3>second championship in the i FL, and you got five

598
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:09.079
<v Speaker 3>in the old Arena Football League, so you've got a

599
00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:12.359
<v Speaker 3>total of seven. Do you have like rings for all

600
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:13.960
<v Speaker 3>of these and like you have a picture of you

601
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 3>wearing like all the rings, like Joe Montana does or

602
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:17.640
<v Speaker 3>anything like that.

603
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:21.640
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'll tell you what I gotta be. I gotta

604
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:25.240
<v Speaker 5>be honest here I got I've won five as a

605
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:27.599
<v Speaker 5>head coach and two in the i f L, three

606
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.079
<v Speaker 5>in the AFL. But I would I would like to

607
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:32.240
<v Speaker 5>claim those other two. You tried to get them, Okay,

608
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.480
<v Speaker 5>so you did. I probably we we you know, I've lost.

609
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:41.119
<v Speaker 5>You know, this was my ninth trip. So we won

610
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:44.319
<v Speaker 5>five and lost four. So I've lost four championship games.

611
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 5>But we've had a good run over the years. I

612
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:50.839
<v Speaker 5>do have rings. I do have rings. I keep them,

613
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 5>I keep them locked away. But you know, uh, this one,

614
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:58.119
<v Speaker 5>I don't think I've ever won a championship that We've

615
00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:01.079
<v Speaker 5>had this much adversity and so many different areas of

616
00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:05.440
<v Speaker 5>the organization throughout the season. But you know, the one

617
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:07.440
<v Speaker 5>thing I could the two or three things I could

618
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 5>point to that was different this year about this year's

619
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:14.480
<v Speaker 5>team was one our character, our mental toughness and poise.

620
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.200
<v Speaker 5>I think those are the three things that that jump

621
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 5>out at me when I look back at this team that,

622
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:22.720
<v Speaker 5>you know what some of the things that they had

623
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:24.799
<v Speaker 5>that we needed to do to be able to accomplish

624
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:25.720
<v Speaker 5>what we accomplished.

625
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I asked the coaches all the time when that

626
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:29.519
<v Speaker 2>come on, and I think you'd be a perfect gut

627
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:31.839
<v Speaker 2>to ask. So you just mentioned three things that are

628
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:34.440
<v Speaker 2>important at least this year. And now you have some

629
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:37.240
<v Speaker 2>athletes and you're very good at what you do. What's

630
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:43.119
<v Speaker 2>what's the driving force? Very good coach or very good players? Well,

631
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:48.759
<v Speaker 2>because you know, sometimes you can't have both, right, you know.

632
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:54.319
<v Speaker 5>You know, in in pro sports, I would say it

633
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:56.440
<v Speaker 5>always starts at the top. I think this. You can

634
00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:58.839
<v Speaker 5>say this about any organization. It starts at the top.

635
00:28:59.599 --> 00:28:59.720
<v Speaker 6>You know.

636
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:04.200
<v Speaker 5>It's arts with ownership. And ro Ron Shirtz is the

637
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.359
<v Speaker 5>owner here of the Arizona Rallers and he me and

638
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:09.720
<v Speaker 5>him have developed a partnership and it was you know,

639
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.160
<v Speaker 5>he has really put a lot of trust to me

640
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:13.920
<v Speaker 5>and just kind of given me the keys to run

641
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:16.799
<v Speaker 5>the business side and the football side, and and if

642
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:18.799
<v Speaker 5>I need him, he's there for me. If not, he

643
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:23.119
<v Speaker 5>lets me run with it. But you know, he you know,

644
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:26.480
<v Speaker 5>I think I've learned a lot of things from him,

645
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:31.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, and how he does business, and it's helped

646
00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:34.799
<v Speaker 5>me in my business world. But you know, I think

647
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.480
<v Speaker 5>now from there, it starts with your head coach, and

648
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.279
<v Speaker 5>then it goes to quarterback. And you know, I've never

649
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 5>seen teams win championships that didn't have all three. I mean,

650
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.559
<v Speaker 5>you've got to have those things in line, right, and

651
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:52.160
<v Speaker 5>and so you know, if they did, they caught lightning

652
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:54.200
<v Speaker 5>in the bottle. You know, I mean, it can't happen.

653
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:56.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm not saying it can't happen. But if you're built

654
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:57.559
<v Speaker 5>for the long haul, I think you've got to have

655
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:02.400
<v Speaker 5>all three of those in line. And you know, and

656
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:04.240
<v Speaker 5>then and then you know, you got to have some

657
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:07.519
<v Speaker 5>pieces down the middle on defensive side. But listen, you

658
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.319
<v Speaker 5>can't win championships without players. You got to play. But

659
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:14.960
<v Speaker 5>I think a coach is so important for structure organization,

660
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:19.319
<v Speaker 5>holding people accountable. Uh, given the vision of the whole organization,

661
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.839
<v Speaker 5>and and and uh and and you know, I think

662
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:25.960
<v Speaker 5>you got to have good play callers. I think you've

663
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:28.279
<v Speaker 5>got to have people in place that understand play calling

664
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:31.119
<v Speaker 5>and how to use the weapons. You know that you

665
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:32.920
<v Speaker 5>have to the strength. You know, if you look, I

666
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.880
<v Speaker 5>mean for me, you know, I I adapt to my players.

667
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:39.200
<v Speaker 5>I adapt to the strengths that they got. I don't

668
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 5>try to come in with the system and say, Okay,

669
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:44.079
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna run the system no matter what, and we'll

670
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:46.519
<v Speaker 5>plug you in and play. I'm not big on that.

671
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:48.279
<v Speaker 5>I you know, I look at what I got in

672
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:49.960
<v Speaker 5>the room. Let me see what kind of end I

673
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:53.160
<v Speaker 5>got dealt here, and then we're gonna change. We're gonna

674
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:56.079
<v Speaker 5>the offense will evolve as the season goes, based on

675
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:58.680
<v Speaker 5>the strength of the skill sets of the players.

676
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.359
<v Speaker 3>Arizona when they had a little take coming back, but

677
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:07.039
<v Speaker 3>that's a whole nother story. I'm not bitter about that though,

678
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:08.960
<v Speaker 3>givin at all. We're talking to Kevin.

679
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:10.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm always wanted I've always wanted to coach him.

680
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:12.000
<v Speaker 4>By the way, have you.

681
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Tried, well that say, have you tried to get him?

682
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.920
<v Speaker 5>You know what? Uh? We did look into him, uh

683
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:20.720
<v Speaker 5>a year and a half, and I want to say

684
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:23.039
<v Speaker 5>he was he was on someone's roster when I looked

685
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.119
<v Speaker 5>in to see where he was at. And then and

686
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:28.200
<v Speaker 5>then to be fright with you, we've you know, we

687
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:31.319
<v Speaker 5>really wasn't looking to make a move until this past

688
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:33.640
<v Speaker 5>year and then Dalton came available and we decided to

689
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:34.039
<v Speaker 5>go with him.

690
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:35.559
<v Speaker 4>Wow. Interesting all right?

691
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:37.559
<v Speaker 3>So, uh, Kit, we're talking to Kevin guy, head coach

692
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:39.240
<v Speaker 3>of theirson, the Rattlers, but also we want you to

693
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:41.759
<v Speaker 3>put on your owner's hat for the Sugar Skulls had

694
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.920
<v Speaker 3>a really tough year.

695
00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:43.640
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

696
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:46.400
<v Speaker 3>I think, well, you tell me what you chalk that

697
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:48.200
<v Speaker 3>up to, because you know, you guys have been a

698
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.599
<v Speaker 3>great organization, done well, You've been a winning organization, but

699
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:53.200
<v Speaker 3>it was it was a struggle this year.

700
00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:55.680
<v Speaker 4>What what how do you how do you analyze that?

701
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:02.160
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'll tell you this. I I'm gonna I got

702
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:05.440
<v Speaker 5>to take some ownership is in and in the small

703
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 5>part that I play in in the Tuson Sugars Coast

704
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.799
<v Speaker 5>because when we hired our when we hired our coach,

705
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:13.200
<v Speaker 5>we let them run it because I don't want any

706
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 5>conflict of interest between the Ratlers and Tucson and the league.

707
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:18.319
<v Speaker 5>And we've always let the head coach kind of run

708
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:21.200
<v Speaker 5>the football side of it. But you know, in the

709
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:24.240
<v Speaker 5>small part, and what I enjoy is I enjoy coming

710
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:27.920
<v Speaker 5>to I enjoy the relationships in Tucson. I enjoy doing

711
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:31.519
<v Speaker 5>business with people in Tucson, and and and and uh

712
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:33.559
<v Speaker 5>and I really enjoy a lot of the people that

713
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:37.680
<v Speaker 5>I've got to know down there. What I wasn't ready

714
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.079
<v Speaker 5>for this year. And I'll you know, I'll take my

715
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:43.920
<v Speaker 5>my part of the blame of it. But uh, we

716
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.720
<v Speaker 5>moved the Rattlers from you know, our practice Cilly was

717
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:51.200
<v Speaker 5>in Masa. We've been playing downtown for thirty years in Phoenix.

718
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:56.279
<v Speaker 5>We moved everything out to Glendale, and we made that decision,

719
00:32:56.839 --> 00:33:00.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, in late in the fall. It kind of

720
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker 5>carried over into early January, February and then and then

721
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:08.400
<v Speaker 5>we had to make the move, like literally move furniture,

722
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:13.759
<v Speaker 5>move facilities, everything during one of our bye weeks at

723
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.720
<v Speaker 5>the beginning of the season. And I underestimated how big

724
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:20.319
<v Speaker 5>of a move that was. Okay, I underestimated how big

725
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:23.720
<v Speaker 5>of a move that was. I really occupied a lot

726
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:26.400
<v Speaker 5>of my time and because not only was it about

727
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:30.519
<v Speaker 5>the move, I had to negotiate the contracts for us

728
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.839
<v Speaker 5>to move into into Glendale. And when you go from

729
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:37.240
<v Speaker 5>being number four in the building in downtown Phoenix where

730
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.519
<v Speaker 5>the Suns come first, to Mercury a second, any big

731
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:42.720
<v Speaker 5>time concert that comes in as third. You know, the

732
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:46.359
<v Speaker 5>Rattlers were always fourth in the building, you know where

733
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:48.400
<v Speaker 5>we moved out to Glendale and we're the number one

734
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:52.759
<v Speaker 5>tenant out here. You know, it was it was the

735
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:56.200
<v Speaker 5>right move for the Arizona Ratlers, but it did take

736
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:58.640
<v Speaker 5>some time away from from when I come down and

737
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.319
<v Speaker 5>do business. Now we we we really felt like we

738
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:04.720
<v Speaker 5>hired a really good coach and Billy back if you

739
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:07.720
<v Speaker 5>go look, Billy has had the best winning percentage of

740
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.800
<v Speaker 5>any coach in the league over the last two or

741
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:13.760
<v Speaker 5>three years. And and you know, and I was second

742
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:15.719
<v Speaker 5>in that space. You know, I was second in that space.

743
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:19.039
<v Speaker 5>He was first, and and uh, you know, there was

744
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:21.639
<v Speaker 5>some things that went down. Uh you know, at the

745
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:23.920
<v Speaker 5>end of season year before, everybody thinks like we keep

746
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:26.360
<v Speaker 5>letting go of the coaches, that's not the case. You know. Uh,

747
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.679
<v Speaker 5>hurt Us Chain came in. He had some personal issues

748
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:33.599
<v Speaker 5>going on in his life and he wasn't coming back, okay,

749
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:36.639
<v Speaker 5>So uh so we were kind of forced to you know,

750
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:38.599
<v Speaker 5>we had heard us sign to a three year contract.

751
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:43.119
<v Speaker 5>You know. Uh, hurt Us reached out to us after

752
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:45.119
<v Speaker 5>the fact. Hurt Us reached out to us after the

753
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:48.239
<v Speaker 5>fact and had gotten some of the stuff worked out. Uh,

754
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:50.360
<v Speaker 5>he was you know, he wanted to get back into coaching,

755
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:53.039
<v Speaker 5>but we weren't, you know, And I told Kathy, I said,

756
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:55.960
<v Speaker 5>you can't be held hostage by this stuff. The business

757
00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:58.800
<v Speaker 5>has got to keep going, you know. Uh, she made

758
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.360
<v Speaker 5>a decision to go get Bill, and uh, it is

759
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:03.519
<v Speaker 5>you know, listen, it's not always who you want, either

760
00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:06.519
<v Speaker 5>is who's available. And we were lucky that Billy was available.

761
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:08.840
<v Speaker 5>And you know, I just don't think when you look

762
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:10.440
<v Speaker 5>at I just talked about what to go about having

763
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:13.280
<v Speaker 5>an ownership, head coach, quarterback all that's kind of line.

764
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.159
<v Speaker 5>You know. I think Billy did a great job of

765
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:19.320
<v Speaker 5>getting the first I thought the quarterback that he started

766
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:21.840
<v Speaker 5>the season was was the best rookie quarterback in the

767
00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:26.519
<v Speaker 5>whole league. You know, For whatever reasons there was, it

768
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:28.599
<v Speaker 5>just didn't work out between those two. There was some

769
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:33.119
<v Speaker 5>some some form of conflict there and I'll leave it

770
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:35.079
<v Speaker 5>as that. But you know, at the end of the day,

771
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.519
<v Speaker 5>you know, Billy made the best decision he thought was

772
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:41.920
<v Speaker 5>for the organization. You know, Tucson Sugars Culls. The record

773
00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:45.280
<v Speaker 5>doesn't look good, but listen, the team was very competitive.

774
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:48.519
<v Speaker 5>They lost ten games by less than a touchdown. Okay,

775
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:52.000
<v Speaker 5>ten ten games by less than a touchdown. So you know,

776
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:56.039
<v Speaker 5>I think that, you know, from an ownership standpoint, Billy

777
00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:58.480
<v Speaker 5>had everything that any coach that was there before. He

778
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:01.159
<v Speaker 5>had the same things in place, if up better, you know,

779
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:04.760
<v Speaker 5>because you know, what we do as ownership, and this

780
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:08.480
<v Speaker 5>is how I look at it is, you know, hey,

781
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:10.280
<v Speaker 5>you got to go out and get a head coach

782
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:13.960
<v Speaker 5>that knows the game. Then from an ownership standpoint, you

783
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:16.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, you want a head coach that can recruit.

784
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:20.159
<v Speaker 5>And then from you know, from a from an ownership standpoint,

785
00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:22.480
<v Speaker 5>you want to make sure that they got facilities, which

786
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:25.519
<v Speaker 5>Keno I'm gonna tell you right now, Keno's practice facilities

787
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:28.159
<v Speaker 5>are as good as anywhere in the league. Okay, they

788
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:30.000
<v Speaker 5>rank up there with anybody in the lake. Then it

789
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:32.960
<v Speaker 5>comes down the player housing. You know, uh, you know,

790
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:36.280
<v Speaker 5>our player housing is very good. I would say it's

791
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:38.199
<v Speaker 5>in the top three or four in the league. Okay.

792
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:41.119
<v Speaker 5>And then and then you know, and then it's about

793
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:45.079
<v Speaker 5>setting up there Uh, you know, it's part of their contracts.

794
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:46.960
<v Speaker 5>They get housing and food, and we set up their

795
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:49.559
<v Speaker 5>mill deals and the bill deals was the best that

796
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.239
<v Speaker 5>we've that we've done since we've been in Tucson. So

797
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:54.239
<v Speaker 5>all that stuff was in place for the players, and

798
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:56.719
<v Speaker 5>then then it's on on the coach and the players

799
00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.800
<v Speaker 5>to go get it done, you know. And and and uh, certainly,

800
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:04.320
<v Speaker 5>you know, as as a leader of the organization, you know,

801
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:09.039
<v Speaker 5>Kathy's you know, I certainly helped get Tucson set up originally,

802
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:11.800
<v Speaker 5>but the plan all along was for Kathy to take

803
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:15.639
<v Speaker 5>it and be the face of it. And and and certainly, uh,

804
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:18.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, the things were in place for them to

805
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:21.039
<v Speaker 5>be saying. But sometimes, you know, sometimes I don't like

806
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.239
<v Speaker 5>I'm not a big changing I don't like change, you know.

807
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.840
<v Speaker 5>But but for every reason, you know, for every time

808
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:29.840
<v Speaker 5>that there was a the only coach that we really

809
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:32.880
<v Speaker 5>moved on from was, you know, it was Dixie. And

810
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:36.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna tell you something, Dixie. Dixie had a conversation

811
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.000
<v Speaker 5>with me this offseason and and I bumped into him

812
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:41.400
<v Speaker 5>and he said, he came up to me and he said, Kevin,

813
00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:43.639
<v Speaker 5>I want you to know I love you, and Kathy.

814
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:45.159
<v Speaker 5>And this is what he said to me. He said,

815
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:46.400
<v Speaker 5>I want you to know I love you, and Kethy,

816
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:49.159
<v Speaker 5>he goes, I didn't get the job done, okay, And

817
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:50.960
<v Speaker 5>he said, the best thing that ever happened to me

818
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:53.239
<v Speaker 5>was me getting fired. I had to go look in

819
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:56.039
<v Speaker 5>the mirror. I had to go address some things that

820
00:37:57.039 --> 00:37:58.880
<v Speaker 5>from his personal life. He wanted to get in better

821
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:02.039
<v Speaker 5>health and put him in a better mindset. And then

822
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:04.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, he he became a student of the game,

823
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:06.519
<v Speaker 5>and he and and it's made him a lot better coaching.

824
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:09.639
<v Speaker 5>And quite frankly, you know, he's been the offensive coordinator

825
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:11.519
<v Speaker 5>at Bayry last two years they've had you know, they

826
00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:13.840
<v Speaker 5>won the championship the first year. This year they were

827
00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:17.000
<v Speaker 5>the number one seed in the playoffs. And and he, uh,

828
00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:20.159
<v Speaker 5>I just helped him make a phone call. You know,

829
00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:23.599
<v Speaker 5>I won't I won't, you know, say where, but he's

830
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:25.519
<v Speaker 5>up for a head coach a job. And I certainly

831
00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:28.760
<v Speaker 5>made that, made that phone call to that ownership, and

832
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.159
<v Speaker 5>had had a conversation with him about Dixie because I

833
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:33.000
<v Speaker 5>got a I got a lot of respect for Dixie

834
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:35.199
<v Speaker 5>and and and Dixie has been told he you know

835
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:38.719
<v Speaker 5>that you know, uh, when the job opened last year.

836
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:41.760
<v Speaker 5>He was the first phone call I made, and and

837
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:44.760
<v Speaker 5>and and uh, you know, and me and Dixie, we

838
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:46.639
<v Speaker 5>both got a respect for each other. And I think

839
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:48.800
<v Speaker 5>he's one of the best coaches in the you know,

840
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:51.559
<v Speaker 5>in the league. I think Billy's Billy Back's one of

841
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:53.960
<v Speaker 5>the best coaches in the league. For whatever reason, it

842
00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:58.000
<v Speaker 5>just didn't get put together this year. So uh, you know, listen,

843
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:00.920
<v Speaker 5>nobody's trying to pass the buck. Uh, we got to

844
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:04.079
<v Speaker 5>be better and uh, but you know, some of the positives.

845
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:07.239
<v Speaker 5>We sold more season tickets than we ever sold last year. Okay,

846
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:10.960
<v Speaker 5>and and and you know that's one of the positives.

847
00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:12.880
<v Speaker 5>But you know, the other thing is where we got

848
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:14.079
<v Speaker 5>to do a better job is we've got to do

849
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:17.760
<v Speaker 5>a better job selling groups and getting more people in

850
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:20.480
<v Speaker 5>the building. And that's something that we're putting a plan

851
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.599
<v Speaker 5>together to see, uh, you know, to work that part

852
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:26.599
<v Speaker 5>of it out. The other side of that is, you know,

853
00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:29.039
<v Speaker 5>we've been working to get the uh, you know, the

854
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.400
<v Speaker 5>gaming license, and we've been working very hard, Kathy and

855
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:33.400
<v Speaker 5>I and we spent a lot of money on attorneys

856
00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:36.159
<v Speaker 5>and and fighting with the state over that. And we

857
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:39.079
<v Speaker 5>really want this for Tucson. We're really you know, it

858
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:42.159
<v Speaker 5>was it will certainly stabilize a lot of things in

859
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:45.599
<v Speaker 5>Tucson if if if we could get that and you know,

860
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:51.000
<v Speaker 5>but for whatever reasons, you know, it seems like you know, uh,

861
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:54.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, you know, whoever's that you're doing business with

862
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:56.800
<v Speaker 5>up in Phoenix is always trying to screw Tuson and

863
00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:59.559
<v Speaker 5>it really it really gets me upset and gets me going,

864
00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:02.480
<v Speaker 5>right and and and listen, We're we're fighting this thing

865
00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:05.960
<v Speaker 5>tooth and nail. Ali Farhang has been involved. You know,

866
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:09.360
<v Speaker 5>we've we've kept him abreast but with everything that we're doing,

867
00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:11.239
<v Speaker 5>but you know, we're trying to get that game and

868
00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:14.400
<v Speaker 5>license and you know, uh four two son and and

869
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:17.480
<v Speaker 5>uh in some way, somehow we're going to make that

870
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:18.000
<v Speaker 5>thing work.

871
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:19.159
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So that was good.

872
00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:21.599
<v Speaker 3>Leading to my last question then, because I think your

873
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:24.719
<v Speaker 3>five your initial five year contract was up after this year, right,

874
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:26.679
<v Speaker 3>it sounds like you're staying.

875
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:31.199
<v Speaker 5>Well, well, no, you know, I have no plans to

876
00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:31.480
<v Speaker 5>move it.

877
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

878
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.119
<v Speaker 5>It's it's America, right, I mean, listen, I've probably had

879
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:41.519
<v Speaker 5>ten people call me and and and and asked me

880
00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:45.840
<v Speaker 5>about buying okay, and that that's just business in America, right,

881
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:49.559
<v Speaker 5>so you know, everything for sale, you know, and and

882
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.199
<v Speaker 5>so you know, it just really comes down to the

883
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:55.360
<v Speaker 5>right conversations. But you know, I've had people, I mean,

884
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:57.639
<v Speaker 5>I've had people in the last few weeks that's reached out,

885
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:01.039
<v Speaker 5>and it really comes down to you know, hey, you

886
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:03.280
<v Speaker 5>know I always ask Kathy, Hey, you want to do this, kin.

887
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:05.679
<v Speaker 5>We committed to five years. We committed to five years

888
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:09.920
<v Speaker 5>when we came to Tucson. We've done six years, okay,

889
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:12.800
<v Speaker 5>And you know, every year I go to Kathy and

890
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:15.639
<v Speaker 5>I told I told everyone I was not gonna have

891
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:17.679
<v Speaker 5>any conversation. I even told Kathy I don't want to

892
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:20.800
<v Speaker 5>have any conversations about Tucson to I get through with

893
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:22.840
<v Speaker 5>my season so I can turn around and focus on,

894
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:26.920
<v Speaker 5>you know what I need to focus on. And you know,

895
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:29.800
<v Speaker 5>we love Tucson. I told you if I I plan

896
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:32.199
<v Speaker 5>on retiring in Tucson, but I plan on having a

897
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:35.400
<v Speaker 5>house up in those mountains somewhere because I really I

898
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:38.480
<v Speaker 5>really enjoy Tucson and I love the relationships down there.

899
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:41.280
<v Speaker 5>So you know, will I will, Will I own and

900
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:45.079
<v Speaker 5>run the Tucson Cigar Skulds forever. Nothing's forever, you know,

901
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:48.000
<v Speaker 5>And you know, but but at some point. You know,

902
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:50.599
<v Speaker 5>we want the team in Tucson, and we always wanted

903
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:52.400
<v Speaker 5>to stay in Tucson. And that's why we've been working

904
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:54.639
<v Speaker 5>on the on the game of license very hard over

905
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:56.800
<v Speaker 5>the last three years. And you know, it seems like

906
00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:59.599
<v Speaker 5>we've been dealing with some corrupt stuff, but you know,

907
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:01.880
<v Speaker 5>we're letting our attorneys handle it, and we're going to

908
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:03.960
<v Speaker 5>address it even if we got to address it all

909
00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:05.000
<v Speaker 5>the way to the Supreme Court.

910
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:07.800
<v Speaker 2>All Right, fair enough, all right, Kevin guy, We appreciate it.

<v Speaker 2>Appreciated role Bama.

<v Speaker 1>Roal tie ro time.

913
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:15.320
<v Speaker 5>Maybe it's all about that time. That's the other thing too.

914
00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:18.760
<v Speaker 5>You know, we have a son that's being recruited in

915
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.880
<v Speaker 5>college football and and you know he's already got three offers,

916
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:24.440
<v Speaker 5>and so you know, that's another thing in our future

917
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:25.199
<v Speaker 5>that we gotta.

918
00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:26.079
<v Speaker 4>We gotta evaluate.

919
00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:29.360
<v Speaker 5>You know, our daughter just graduated from the u of A,

920
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:31.639
<v Speaker 5>and she's getting ready to go to law school. But

921
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:35.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, our son's getting ready to graduate this year

922
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:37.239
<v Speaker 5>from high school and he's he's gonna be playing college

923
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:39.519
<v Speaker 5>football somewhere. So you know, we got to take that

924
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:41.719
<v Speaker 5>into account of what's our life look like over the

925
00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:43.840
<v Speaker 5>next three or four years and there's just a lot

926
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:45.679
<v Speaker 5>of decisions that we we got to make, you know,

927
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:48.800
<v Speaker 5>and uh, you know certainly, uh but but I will

00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:49.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, welcome back to arian about you know, Fox Sports

<v Speaker 2>fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, You're Jay. You got Henry with us.

972
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:55.119
<v Speaker 2>We've got a short time window here for seven and

973
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:57.960
<v Speaker 2>a half minutes for any calls pot two zero four

974
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.679
<v Speaker 2>one six seventy four forty. So so I'm not sure

975
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:03.360
<v Speaker 2>he answered my question. Jay, you know him Patty Well,

976
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I would venture to guess that he's savoring this victory

977
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:09.840
<v Speaker 2>just as much as or if not more quite a

978
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:11.400
<v Speaker 2>bit because it's been a while.

979
00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Well again because he's you know, they came so close.

980
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:15.880
<v Speaker 3>I you know, twenty nineteen was that was the year

981
00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:17.599
<v Speaker 3>that that was my first year with the with the

982
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:20.800
<v Speaker 3>Sugar Skulls. So they were undefeated and they were so

983
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:24.000
<v Speaker 3>good that year, and you know I went up to

984
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:26.960
<v Speaker 3>that game. It was play you know the at that

985
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:30.639
<v Speaker 3>at that time, the top seed in the game each

986
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:33.599
<v Speaker 3>game hosts. So they hosted the game at a full

987
00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:36.880
<v Speaker 3>house at at at the Arena up in Phoenix and

988
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:40.719
<v Speaker 3>got beat and got beat and uh, I know that

989
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:42.519
<v Speaker 3>was that was a tough one to take because that

990
00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:43.280
<v Speaker 3>team was so good.

991
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:45.519
<v Speaker 2>What let me ask you again, I want you to

992
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:48.159
<v Speaker 2>be honest and critical if you have to be. What

993
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:49.800
<v Speaker 2>makes him successful?

994
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:51.960
<v Speaker 3>I think I think he did say a little bit

995
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:55.719
<v Speaker 3>about that. It's the organization that he puts together, because

996
00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:59.239
<v Speaker 3>he's right in this in this league, look in the NFL,

997
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:01.639
<v Speaker 3>you get you go at great players and you can run.

998
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:04.039
<v Speaker 3>You can be a bad organization, but have great players

999
00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:06.960
<v Speaker 3>and you can win championships because there's so much more

1000
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:11.039
<v Speaker 3>to the organization. As you mentioned, talks about your facility.

1001
00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:13.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, are you an organization has a great facility?

1002
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:16.239
<v Speaker 3>You have all the other things that draw players here.

1003
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:19.039
<v Speaker 3>You know, at players and coaches. Right do you have

1004
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:22.119
<v Speaker 3>Are you in a good place? You have you know,

1005
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:24.280
<v Speaker 3>a good as you said, good housing for the players,

1006
00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:27.719
<v Speaker 3>you have good meal plans for those things matter a

1007
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:31.679
<v Speaker 3>lot in this league because you know, these guys should

1008
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:33.599
<v Speaker 3>make a lot of money. Okay, all those other things

1009
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:35.519
<v Speaker 3>have to be in place to get the good players

1010
00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:36.280
<v Speaker 3>and the good coaches.

1011
00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:38.679
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you, I'm assuming in your capacity

1012
00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:40.920
<v Speaker 2>for a few years you were with them, did you

1013
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:43.119
<v Speaker 2>travel too many other places? No?

1014
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:47.760
<v Speaker 3>No, as A as A as A as A front

1015
00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:50.239
<v Speaker 3>office person, No I went. I went to one road game,

1016
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.559
<v Speaker 3>so I went to the very first one. The very

1017
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:54.599
<v Speaker 3>first game was in San Diego. I went to a

1018
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:57.039
<v Speaker 3>couple of Rattlers games because they drive up the street.

1019
00:46:57.119 --> 00:46:59.199
<v Speaker 2>So the reason I was going to go there was because, Okay,

1020
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:04.559
<v Speaker 2>so facilities accommodations, like you're talking about, does Arizona really

1021
00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:08.000
<v Speaker 2>fit in that where it's always I'm so, yeah, Tuson

1022
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:12.079
<v Speaker 2>really fit in that upper echelon group because you know

1023
00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:15.679
<v Speaker 2>you're dating, you date a nice looking woman. You're thinking

1024
00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:18.599
<v Speaker 2>the British girl in the world. Oh, I just missed

1025
00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:20.199
<v Speaker 2>that one because that one's even pretty. You know what

1026
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:20.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying.

1027
00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're always gonna say you're you got a good

1028
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:25.000
<v Speaker 3>no I had. I had players tell me because I

1029
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:27.599
<v Speaker 3>would ask them, you know, why did you come here?

1030
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:29.320
<v Speaker 3>And they said, oh, because of Kevin Guy.

1031
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, so I would say that, okay, But so

1032
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:34.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not about facilities, no, no, no, but but no.

1033
00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:36.199
<v Speaker 3>But in the in the sense that they're because of

1034
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:38.639
<v Speaker 3>Kevin Guy, because I know he runs a great organization.

1035
00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:41.559
<v Speaker 3>We're going to be treated well, we're gonna get paid

1036
00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:44.039
<v Speaker 3>on time, or you know, we're gonna all these things

1037
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:45.079
<v Speaker 3>that he puts in place.

1038
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:45.800
<v Speaker 2>That's why.

1039
00:47:46.400 --> 00:47:48.599
<v Speaker 3>You know, again it's the organization that he runs. And

1040
00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:51.159
<v Speaker 3>I think you know, certainly the Rattlers have been that

1041
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:54.039
<v Speaker 3>kind of an organization. Tucson's been that kind of an

1042
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:56.320
<v Speaker 3>or because I you know, these are two sugar skulls

1043
00:47:56.360 --> 00:47:57.800
<v Speaker 3>that I asked that why did you come here? And say,

1044
00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:01.000
<v Speaker 3>because I know Kevin guy runs a great organization. And

1045
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:04.320
<v Speaker 3>so that's why I'm here because I know that I'm

1046
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:07.159
<v Speaker 3>going to have a decent apartment to live in. I

1047
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.559
<v Speaker 3>know I'm gonna get fed well, I know I'm going

1048
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:12.079
<v Speaker 3>to get taken care of, you know, trainers and whatnot.

1049
00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:17.199
<v Speaker 3>So in this in this sport, in the indoor football league,

1050
00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:20.199
<v Speaker 3>that's the most important thing because that gets you players.

1051
00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:21.719
<v Speaker 3>Then the talent comes with that.

1052
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:25.920
<v Speaker 2>So the other places don't do this, don't Steve like,

1053
00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:27.880
<v Speaker 2>for instance, I can tell you how in the hell

1054
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:28.599
<v Speaker 2>do they compete?

1055
00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:31.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. Some don't. They're not very good.

1056
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:35.840
<v Speaker 3>Look, look, you know a couple of players that I said, well,

1057
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:38.039
<v Speaker 3>how bad it is the other places. You wouldn't believe

1058
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:41.239
<v Speaker 3>some of the places they get us to live. He said,

1059
00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:44.239
<v Speaker 3>we would get you know where one of the things

1060
00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:46.960
<v Speaker 3>that that the Sugar Skulls do and probably the Rattlers

1061
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:50.920
<v Speaker 3>is they arranged for local restaurants to be sponsors and

1062
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:54.239
<v Speaker 3>provide meals for the players. And they get they get meals,

1063
00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:57.360
<v Speaker 3>they get Brother John's, and they get Hooters, and they

1064
00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:00.679
<v Speaker 3>get you know, Mexican restaurants, you know El Charm, all

1065
00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:04.239
<v Speaker 3>these great places to eat in Tucson, and those are

1066
00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:06.840
<v Speaker 3>the meals that they get, right, Olive Garden, I mean

1067
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:09.880
<v Speaker 3>all that stuff, Mama Mama Luisa's.

1068
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:12.239
<v Speaker 4>Those were those were food sponsors, meal sponsors.

1069
00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:15.639
<v Speaker 3>When I was working there, I heard that there were

1070
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:20.519
<v Speaker 3>some organizations that they give you a twenty dollars Roger

1071
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:24.239
<v Speaker 3>per day. Well, these guys have to eat three times, right,

1072
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:26.679
<v Speaker 3>what's twenty dollars gonna get you? And this is their job, right,

1073
00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:28.960
<v Speaker 3>And this is their job, right. They can't have another Well,

1074
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:30.639
<v Speaker 3>they do have other jobs, yeah, some of them do,

1075
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:33.960
<v Speaker 3>but still off season or during the season, during the season. Yeah,

1076
00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:36.039
<v Speaker 3>the guy the guys, you know, that's why, for instance,

1077
00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:38.760
<v Speaker 3>they practice early in the morning so that they if

1078
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:40.440
<v Speaker 3>they need to go work a job, they can go

1079
00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:41.039
<v Speaker 3>work a job.

1080
00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:44.119
<v Speaker 4>You remember Cam uh.

1081
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah from Psidio, right, yeah, yeah, no, he was at

1082
00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:52.840
<v Speaker 2>he was at Siana Okayan.

1083
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:55.639
<v Speaker 3>No no, no, no, he was a defensive back. I

1084
00:49:55.639 --> 00:49:58.920
<v Speaker 3>can't remember his da or they can't remember his name,

1085
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:01.480
<v Speaker 3>but you know he he was a waiter, you know,

1086
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:02.800
<v Speaker 3>in the in the evenings.

1087
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh. You know.

1088
00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:06.800
<v Speaker 3>So they they set practices so that they have the

1089
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:08.800
<v Speaker 3>rest of the day to go make a living because

1090
00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:09.639
<v Speaker 3>they don't make a lot of money.

1091
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:12.920
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, I in fact kind of kind of

1092
00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:15.960
<v Speaker 2>well guess what, they don't, but who has them here?

1093
00:50:16.039 --> 00:50:18.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but they're chasing the dream and that they choose.

1094
00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:22.239
<v Speaker 3>They choose to chase the dream. But they have to

1095
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:25.159
<v Speaker 3>they have to sustain as well. And and you know

1096
00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:26.840
<v Speaker 3>some of these players, you know, it's tough for them.

1097
00:50:26.880 --> 00:50:31.639
<v Speaker 3>So those things become essentially really important and and those

1098
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:36.920
<v Speaker 3>and and so players gravitate to the organizations that provide that.

1099
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:39.599
<v Speaker 3>He was so that's why organization is so important.

1100
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:41.800
<v Speaker 2>He was talking about stuff that you know, I'm not

1101
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:44.079
<v Speaker 2>another athlete at that level. I would have never been,

1102
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:47.840
<v Speaker 2>never will be. But these people who get involved or

1103
00:50:48.039 --> 00:50:51.199
<v Speaker 2>have conflicts with the coach at this level, Okay, level,

1104
00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:54.159
<v Speaker 2>when this is it. If you don't make it here,

1105
00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:56.519
<v Speaker 2>you ain't gonna make it anyway. You can't get along

1106
00:50:56.880 --> 00:51:00.400
<v Speaker 2>right right right doesn't doesn't make sense to me, Steep

1107
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:04.719
<v Speaker 2>and there because because you're playing a sport that people wish,

1108
00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:07.000
<v Speaker 2>but you could also be tired of it. But you

1109
00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:09.719
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying, here's an opportunity and you piss

1110
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:10.079
<v Speaker 2>it away.

1111
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, I hear you. I don't understand, even at.

1112
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Whatever payment you're gonna get. Now what, right, go find

1113
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:17.199
<v Speaker 2>a job.

1114
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:21.360
<v Speaker 3>If you're here, allegedly, if you're playing in the indoor

1115
00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:24.119
<v Speaker 3>Football league, it's because you really love the game, you

1116
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:27.159
<v Speaker 3>really want to try and make this work. And then

1117
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:29.039
<v Speaker 3>to get in there and be a malcontent makes no

1118
00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:32.199
<v Speaker 3>sense whatsoever. Why are you doing Wait a minute, they

1119
00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:34.760
<v Speaker 3>don't need you, you need them. They can go get
