WEBVTT

1
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Well, here we are. We made that. Let me pull

2
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 1>John in now running crazy hitting here. John said he

3
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>heard the sigh when I sat down.

4
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:44.600
<v Speaker 2>We are here.

5
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome. I have my sweaty sweatshirt on here. John, we've

6
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>been sprinting. But we are here today talking UFL. Week

7
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>two was really fifty to fifty on if this was

8
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 1>going to happen today or not. John and I will

9
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>get into more of that later. So things going on

10
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>around the league right now. My demeanor is changing. We'll see,

11
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll see, we'll get to it. That could be a

12
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>tease for later. We'll talk through, you know, the week two. Here,

13
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>we have Mike Mitchell's TV ratings from Friday, we have attendance.

14
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk through all the games and then we'll do

15
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 1>all that because I know people come here for football

16
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>first and foremost, and then we'll get through all that.

17
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 1>But we'll see episode next week. We'll see do I

18
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>have lint on my hat? We're doing the best we can.

19
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 2>You're clean?

20
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>How are you? John? Welcome to the show, John Lewis,

21
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.159
<v Speaker 1>John Lewis Sports. I even tagged you on the YouTube

22
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>descriptions day. Oh, hopefully you can find your channel. How

23
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>are you starting so kind.

24
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing well. Man. We've made it through two weeks here,

25
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 2>and you know what's funny something I was thinking about today.

26
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 2>We have not had any talks about labor strife. It's

27
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 2>like that issue kind of went away. I'm still wondering,

28
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, what's going on with that. But I don't

29
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 2>want to start on a negative point here. We saw

30
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>some good football this week. We saw some bad football

31
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>this week, if that's what the UFL is.

32
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was gonna say, did we see good football? John?

33
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't want to start. I don't want

34
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>to start there. I had a lot of fun because really, truly,

35
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, we were busy Friday Saturday. I'm trying to

36
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 1>catch up. Was able to sit and watch the games yesterday,

37
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>text with you, text with the group chat, and that

38
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>does kind of excite me. This is why I do this.

39
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm serious, it is very much. You know, I don't

40
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of it, as I'm sure you as well,

41
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>talking with the wife about the games and stuff. So

42
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>when I'm able to talk with like the boys, you know,

43
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>and you and Mike and Pat kind of gets me

44
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 1>more excited about all that. But yeah, I do here says,

45
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 1>is your demeanor going to go from bad? Absolutely? Ah,

46
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>stay tuned. That is a spoiler and this is real

47
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>actionable stuff. Yeah, John, I guess we'll do Mike's breaking

48
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>news here first. But can you grade UFL week two here?

49
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>A Week one came off a little short. We talked

50
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>through TV ratings last week. You can go back and

51
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>football gameplay and all of that. I'm still fighting the

52
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 1>cole apologize for that. What did you make grade wise?

53
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>If excuse the UFO we two.

54
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'll give it a song. Let see, and

55
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>only because there were some f There was an F

56
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>game or two here, but there was you know, there

57
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 2>were some A games as well. So I mean, you know,

58
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 2>I think when you've got this is I don't want

59
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 2>to say a top heavy league because I don't know

60
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 2>that there's a clear favor in right now. I know

61
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Saint Louis is playing the best football so far in

62
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.599
<v Speaker 2>two weeks here, and we know who's playing the worst

63
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>and its Houston. I mean that's no secret. Uh, but

64
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>it feels like of those other seven, even with Memphis

65
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 2>being zero and two, that is such a It's a

66
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>completely different team. There's so much better. So I just

67
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 2>think it's exciting right now. So I mean when I

68
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>say see that it was, was it an average week?

69
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean maybe, uh, but I'm like kind of optimistic

70
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>on this could be more of an open There's no,

71
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 2>it's not top heavy. I think there are seven contenders

72
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 2>in this league at least after week two.

73
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we have I have a couple of comments

74
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>here to kind of help driving this discussion that I

75
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.479
<v Speaker 1>have an email as well from fourth and Long on

76
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 1>the on the All Football dot Com. Just a quick

77
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 1>plug for that Allfootball dot Com for all your CFL

78
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and UFL and Arina. So obviously a lot of UFL

79
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff right now, but I'll pull that up later as

80
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 1>well to kind of gauge our discussions around that. And

81
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>I think I have a couple of bookmarks Saviot as well.

82
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Are you are you sensing the apathy that fan apathy

83
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 1>that seems to be able. I'll pull Mike article up

84
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>here to kind of gauge that. But you know, down

85
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit over last week. We were underwhelmed by

86
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the Friday night kickoff last week overall, and then this

87
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>week down even over that.

88
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Well right now, if I'm not mistaken, the women's NCAA tournament,

89
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 2>it was having wreck almost record ratings. I mean, nothing

90
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 2>will probably be last year, but it was right up there,

91
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I think top three or four. So when you're going

92
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 2>up against that, you're going up against the final four.

93
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.240
<v Speaker 2>And to be honest with you, one of the one

94
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>of the games, I think it was the DC game,

95
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 2>was going up against the final four, and that was

96
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 2>my second screen. My second screen was the was the

97
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 2>UFL game, and my you know, my main screen was,

98
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 2>uh was the Final Four. But I think that's why

99
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>we're that's why we're going to start seeing some you know,

100
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 2>hopefully better ratings, especially on Friday Night, because this third

101
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 2>week to me, is going to be pivotal as far

102
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>as rating steals because there's no major competition that I've

103
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 2>seen in the sports world.

104
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Well and yeah, sorry not to jump on there that

105
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 1>that is my concern and I will I made the

106
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>joke on Twitter. But on the Sunday game, it was

107
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, the that dreadful Arlington, the Renegades and Roughnecks

108
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 1>going up against you know, Alexandrovechkins, who there was did

109
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 1>you know broke the NHL all time scoring record. You know,

110
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 1>obviously East Coast game midday Sunday game for the NHL

111
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>here even going up against and that's when I tweeted out,

112
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>we hear all this all the time. Well, why the

113
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>UFL do this, or why Saint Louis open this day

114
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>or why like you could schedule a game for noon

115
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>eastern on a Sunday and you're like, how could you

116
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>ever know that you're going up against you know, the

117
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 1>greatest sport feat of this time. You know, we kind

118
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>of lived through Lebron's thing and then this. You know,

119
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>there'll be other things, but you really can't avoid it.

120
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>It kind of no matter where you go there. Yeah,

121
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>six times fifty nine thousand viewers on that down from

122
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>six to ninety the week before this weekend, John Willby

123
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania Weekend. I know that we were talking about things

124
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 1>going up again, so obviously not on traditional cable that way.

125
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm just thinking out loud. I'm not trying to call

126
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you up.

127
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't.

128
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I forgot about regains again next week.

129
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, so yes, I mean so that is that's

130
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>something too. You know, you're right, It's just that wasn't

131
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>a huge surprise to see it go down, you know,

132
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 2>at least it. I mean, the bottom didn't drop out.

133
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 2>But next week it's got to be better than this

134
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 2>on Friday night.

135
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And this is my concern that we were talking

136
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.199
<v Speaker 1>about all this even before we got on here. Spring

137
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 1>League championship game midday Fox Saturday drew four hundred and

138
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>fifty thousand viewers for the championship game. So put in

139
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>context of whether Brian's I woulds run out of his

140
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.120
<v Speaker 1>garage with cardboard box, Football League drew that. You know,

141
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>so I so to me when you you know, and

142
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I agree with all this, you don't, you know, you

143
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be to be down with all that. But

144
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>but Fox Friday is just there's just numbers built into this,

145
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>these diary the Nielsen everything is not exact on that.

146
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I used to work and I tell all

147
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 1>this for people that did not maybe follow through last season.

148
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I used to work in local news. I worked in Bakersfield, California.

149
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>We were small market news town. John knows very well.

150
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>John's worked in local news knows very well. And in

151
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>our station would live and die off of diaries that

152
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>people would fill out in journals that they would literally

153
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>write in. I watched NBC this day and so you know,

154
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the week before the books came in, you'd run a

155
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff and hope that the last thing people

156
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>thought about was just My point is, it's not an

157
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 1>exact science. I think Fox bakes in a base number

158
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.759
<v Speaker 1>on this and we'll go up. I cannot imagine that

159
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>that is an insightful look on that. But who am

160
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I to say. I think going down week one to

161
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>week two. Week one is always going to be your peak.

162
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 1>I think in that. And my last thought is, as

163
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 1>you said here, in week three and four, maybe the

164
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>competition opens up, but my feeling is at that point,

165
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 1>the audience has lost the product. Right. We saw this

166
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>in USFL Season one peaked really high in twenty two.

167
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 1>We talked a lot about the poor gameplay, the rush

168
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>training camps and all of that. The rest of the

169
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>games that first weekend weren't very good and the Radians

170
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 1>were never able to recover. Because when you get the

171
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.799
<v Speaker 1>most amount of people to sample the product, especially in

172
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>these leagues like we saw this weekend, where you have

173
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot of well scoring at fairs, you're not going

174
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.159
<v Speaker 1>to get them to come back time and time again.

175
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's true, and a bill brings up a good

176
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.840
<v Speaker 2>point too. Masters. This is weekend, so if there's a

177
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 2>if there's some competition, it would it would be that

178
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.639
<v Speaker 2>because you know, there are a lot of times even

179
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 2>the casual fans, you know, like Ovechkin. You know, I'm

180
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 2>not an NHL fan, but I was keeping my eye

181
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.159
<v Speaker 2>on that as well. Uh, you know, and then Masters

182
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.159
<v Speaker 2>is one of those events that you know brings in

183
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>anyone who's half interested in sports. But you're right, and

184
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 2>that that's my concern when we saw the schedule come

185
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:08.559
<v Speaker 2>out and you and I talked about it on here

186
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.960
<v Speaker 2>is do you really want to start off your this

187
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 2>new franchise Friday night thing at Houston and they followed

188
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>up at Michigan Because you know, the optics are not

189
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>going to be good. You hope the gameplay is good

190
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.799
<v Speaker 2>so people will buy in. But I'm not I'm not

191
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 2>sure they did. But again, the UFL is that I

192
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.399
<v Speaker 2>think they've done a really good job with advertising and

193
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, trying to get the word out not just

194
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.279
<v Speaker 2>nationally but also in some of these communities. I don't

195
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 2>know why it's not connecting in some but you know,

196
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 2>I will say what we need I think what we

197
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>need to see Friday from Fox especially is there's there's

198
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.240
<v Speaker 2>not going to be a major competition at eight o'clock

199
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Eastern times, so again those numbers have to pop up.

200
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 1>Some last thing for me on this and and just

201
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:01.759
<v Speaker 1>we'll do some more because I do want to get

202
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 1>to football. Excuse me here before we get out to

203
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.159
<v Speaker 1>all this. But one thing I was kind of pleased about,

204
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and of course I had it pinned and then I

205
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>deleted that. Let me pull it back on here. But

206
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.279
<v Speaker 1>I was kind of you know, I was watching the

207
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>game yesterday and John was laughing, and he goes, man,

208
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 1>you're really on the heater with all these tweets, like

209
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 1>go whilely, this is a really busy time. We didn't

210
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>even know if we were doing the show today. I

211
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 1>got to fly to Orlando tomorrow for work all week

212
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and then we are going for pleasure next week to

213
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Vegas and wrestle mating and all that. It's just it's

214
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>a busy time. I do the best I can. But

215
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching the game yesterday and I see, you know,

216
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.039
<v Speaker 1>we're interviewing Luis Prez. They're showing the highlights of the

217
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 1>beer Snake, and they not only talked about Louis press

218
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>in the game. We have like an interstitial with him

219
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 1>on the commercial break, we've been talking about the book,

220
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, and then obviously that the football has played

221
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>in the spring, and I just said, you know, I

222
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 1>love the Luis spres, I love the beer Snake, I

223
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>love the UFL's football that's played in the spring. But

224
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.879
<v Speaker 1>we need some other ideas here. I was, you know,

225
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't even think about Jordan Rogers like that. So hey,

226
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Rodgers, you know, part of this broadcast even all that, Like,

227
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't like Aaron Rodgers. I don't know

228
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 1>if Aaron Rodgers will be liking any of my tweets

229
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>anytime soon, but I will take the estrange Jordan Rogers

230
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.919
<v Speaker 1>on that. But I do like again, and and this

231
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.399
<v Speaker 1>isn't week two of I mean, this is like this

232
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>year two now we're trying to get people I don't know.

233
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 1>To me, it just feels like we've got four bullet

234
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.840
<v Speaker 1>points that we can talk about betting the Lions with

235
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Aaron on ESPN and all that. We'll do the individual games.

236
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.120
<v Speaker 1>But to me right now, as a casual, I would

237
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 1>really have If I was a casual, I would have

238
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>a hard time recommending with someone to go watch one

239
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:36.200
<v Speaker 1>of these games.

240
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, Yeah, I mean you and I talked last

241
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.919
<v Speaker 2>week about the Fox presentation. You know, kurtin Minafee busted

242
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.799
<v Speaker 2>a Dean Kane instead of Dion Kanes, like we superman

243
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 2>out there. I mean, and it's just like, I don't

244
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.120
<v Speaker 2>think the presentation is that is that great. I love

245
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Joel Klatt, Like Joel Clatt to me, not only is

246
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:53.840
<v Speaker 2>he and we've said it before, it's like you learn

247
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 2>thanks from him. He's also doing clean up duty, trying

248
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>to correct what Kurt Menafee continues to say on on

249
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.919
<v Speaker 2>these Fox broad cast. Yeah, and as our as our

250
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 2>man Tanner there sending the comments he said destroyer. Someone

251
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 2>get to Connor Onion, who I love the guy, but

252
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.480
<v Speaker 2>it's destroying, it's not kept calling him, kept calling him destroyer.

253
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 2>There was that, and but yeah, it's like, what are

254
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 2>you trying to sell to a casual fan right now?

255
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Because you know, this past week, like I said, it

256
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 2>was kind of a c average. So if you're watching

257
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:25.399
<v Speaker 2>that football especially you know, if you tune into the

258
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Arlington game, I mean you know that was kind of

259
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.399
<v Speaker 2>a televised abortion there for about three quarters until it

260
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of picked up in the fourth quarter.

261
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 2>So it's like it's hard to kind of sell those

262
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 2>kinds of things to casual fans, especially ones who are

263
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>trying to fill a football need. And then it's like, oh, well,

264
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 2>the NFL is over, I'm gonna give this a try,

265
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.519
<v Speaker 2>and it's you know, it's a little slow out of

266
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.360
<v Speaker 2>the gate for now. If you were watching, you know

267
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:51.320
<v Speaker 2>you did watch that the the BattleHawks game if you

268
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.759
<v Speaker 2>found it on f S one after the NASCAR race,

269
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean you saw some good You saw Saint Louis

270
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.639
<v Speaker 2>team that plays really well, So I mean that was

271
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 2>that was some high caliber football from them.

272
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's say, are just real quick football fan and becoming

273
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>a member I think was a member of Jointed back

274
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.320
<v Speaker 1>guy heereer remember nine sent some month goes to support

275
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 1>the channel for all that. Yeah, because guy, your Doug,

276
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.919

<v Speaker 1>week for work, and we will decide which is the

281
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.759
<v Speaker 1>better use. I will tell you what my wife. My

282
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.240
<v Speaker 1>wife thinks, especially with her friend getting married in France

283
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>this year, so we have a lot of I have

284
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.519
<v Speaker 1>to work. We were playing the fortieth birthday party from

285
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 1>my Life John. It's really like my full time job

00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>A little bit.

<v Speaker 2>It's good, it should be.

289
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Come on, it's good. All right, So let's talk through

290

<v Speaker 1>all this. We'll get comments, and then I do have

291
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.559
<v Speaker 1>a rant at the end, so I promise for all

292
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. Panthers, Stallions, Stallions, come back here Friday night,

294
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 1>through the games, and we'll bounce back and forth with

295
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>Mike at tendants here because I don't want to do

296
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>all that. But I do have a comment on this

297
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>in a minute. What did you make of this game

298
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.919
<v Speaker 1>ford Field hosting Friday night?

299
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, there were ten thousand people there. I mean that's

300
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 2>the official thing we got, right. Did you see ten

301
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.399
<v Speaker 2>thousand people in the standards not outside?

302
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

303
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I just thought, you know, when your kicker is your

304
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 2>offense there for a while, and your starting quarterback goes

305
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:25.919
<v Speaker 2>out in the you know, first quarter, it's like, oh,

306
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, what is this going to be and then

307
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Matt corral started to kind of get hot there in

308
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 2>the second half, which there are a lot of naysayers there.

309
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, they were ready to bench Alex.

310
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>A lot of Stallions fans were ready to bench Alex

311
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Magoo after that game last week and on and frankly,

312
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>it's like that argument gets bolstered after what you saw

313
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.159
<v Speaker 2>out of Matt Corrall. Now, there were some shaky passes.

314
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:51.360
<v Speaker 2>There were a few that there were at least two

315
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 2>that I remember that were very close to being pick sixes.

316
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.200
<v Speaker 2>But man, I mean he ended up looking good. He

317
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>did throw a couple of picks, you know, and you

318
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.360
<v Speaker 2>know what we saw from Bryce Perkins, Like, you know,

319
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.480
<v Speaker 2>they weren't out of it, and I mean, Norther should

320
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.600
<v Speaker 2>they be. But it just feels like Birmingham has their number, Like,

321
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.799
<v Speaker 2>no matter what happens, Birmingham and Skip Holtz and that

322
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:15.960
<v Speaker 2>team finds a way to beat Michigan.

323
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>To me, and and part of this is just because

324
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:22.279
<v Speaker 1>the Stallions have have the most you know, I would

325
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.559
<v Speaker 1>say cash a just in terms of the Multi Age

326
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Championship wins and kind of all that stuff. But I

327
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>do feel like I see more mainstream people tweeting about

328
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Matt Carrall tweeting about Alex macgoo covering this his Stallions.

329
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 1>So that's great. You want the Sallions to be good obviously,

330
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh this forward field thing, We'll get to all of that.

331
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>But do you like, did the Panthers have any momentum here?

332
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess just trying to kind of figure out I

333
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 1>don't know, the USFL conference kind of versus XFL here

334
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and kind of what we're making are the Panthers they

335
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>weren't they second last year in the division, Like what

336
00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:59.279
<v Speaker 1>do we make of this? And then hey, look at

337
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 1>this for Mark has callback? But do they have upside here?

338
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I guess yeah, Oh, I think they do. I mean,

339
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I think what's not really to like about Bryce Perkins?

340
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Don't take anything away from Birmingham's defense because that defense,

341
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:14.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, we talk about offense all the time. Birmingham's

342
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 2>defense is really good, So don't take anything away from that.

343
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:19.639
<v Speaker 2>But I think, you know, what we saw from Bryce

344
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Perkins in week one and what we saw a little

345
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:25.360
<v Speaker 2>bit in week two here, I mean, he's playing a

346
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:29.279
<v Speaker 2>good defense. I think Michigan absolutely has plenty of upside now.

347
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.639
<v Speaker 2>I dropped him a little bit. My power rankings that

348
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:33.960
<v Speaker 2>will be on All Football dot Com here, and you

349
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.639
<v Speaker 2>know Greg Parks is putting that together and kind of

350
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 2>taling all our votes. But that's a snapshot of the week.

351
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.240
<v Speaker 2>So I think there's plenty of upside. I certainly am

352
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:44.240
<v Speaker 2>not counting out Michigan Panthers right now.

353
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.919
<v Speaker 1>King William Michigan would have a momentum if they stopped

354
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.279
<v Speaker 1>playing two quarterbacks system. We see that a lot and

355
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.440
<v Speaker 1>early on I mean even last week, right they were

356
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>talking with no one about all that. I mean, it's

357
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.519
<v Speaker 1>still early. You don't know, and this isn't the NFL

358
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.519
<v Speaker 1>where everyone's all right, I don't know what. I'm curious

359
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:03.519
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts on that, because I see both sides in

360
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the CFL does this as well.

361
00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:08.599
<v Speaker 2>I can see that. Uh to me, it's I mean,

362
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>let's look at Manny Wilkins, you know, it's it felt

363
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:13.519
<v Speaker 2>like the BattleHawks were going to come in with a

364
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>two quarterback system, and you know, and it didn't happen

365
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 2>because Manny Wilkins continues to play. He's such a dual

366
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.279
<v Speaker 2>threat and he's such a good quarterback that Anthony Beck

367
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.079
<v Speaker 2>is not going to take him Uh, he's not going

368
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:28.000
<v Speaker 2>to take him out of the game to run a

369
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.759
<v Speaker 2>two quarterback system. If Mike Nolan feels that's the way

370
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:35.880
<v Speaker 2>and maybe runs the packages, you know, I guess, but

371
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I can, like you said, I can see it both ways.

372
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.000
<v Speaker 2>This is not in the NFL they say if you

373
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.240
<v Speaker 2>if you have two quarterbacks, you don't have any I

374
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>believe that to an extent on any level. But you know,

375
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.160
<v Speaker 2>I give the Michigan Panthers and the coaches who want

376
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.240
<v Speaker 2>to run two quarterbacks a little bit of a break here.

377
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Mike Gy just talking TV ratings in the chat.

378
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>It's covering that off. Appreciate that, certainly do, because I

379
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.920
<v Speaker 1>know it definitely comes in. I didn't even really this

380
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:03.640
<v Speaker 1>is just the day that kind of works for John

381
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and I, especially the last couple of weeks with me

382
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.240
<v Speaker 1>going out on Tuesdays. I would like to do it

383
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday when we have all of the ratings. I just

384
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.640
<v Speaker 1>think it makes for a more worthwhile conversation. But we

385
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.079
<v Speaker 1>just haven't had time. But luckily Mike's been able to

386
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.319
<v Speaker 1>get at least back to back here these weeks, so

387
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:18.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll see. We'll figure out. I mean, this isn't like

388
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a forever thing. But we're I appreciate John's schedule hopping

389
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>on here and all of that. The two quarterback system,

390
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.279
<v Speaker 1>and we could talk through any of these teams or

391
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.599
<v Speaker 1>anything that it goes to this. You know, what is

392
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.640
<v Speaker 1>this league? Right? If I'm a coach of a team,

393
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Am I trying to develop players? Am I trying to win?

394
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Am I trying to get the most of my players

395
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.279
<v Speaker 1>to the NFL? Like I would say any coach you

396
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.200
<v Speaker 1>asked there, I mean, we know what coach back that

397
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:44.039
<v Speaker 1>said a couple of years ago. You know, my goal

398
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.039
<v Speaker 1>is to get everyone to the NFL. Well, if you

399
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.160
<v Speaker 1>have the option between being, you know, playing the best

400
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.920
<v Speaker 1>quarterback to win the championship game, I just feel like

401
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:53.880
<v Speaker 1>you get into this, I would be curious with that.

402
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:56.440
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I would feel like the two quarterback system.

403
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Are we trying to develop more of that in an

404
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.799
<v Speaker 1>attempt to win? But yeah, than when the game's on

405
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.519
<v Speaker 1>the line, you're not gonna It's hard. It's a hard balance,

406
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Like what is this league? Do you know what I'm saying?

407
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Right? Yeah? I mean you are? You do walk a line.

408
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:11.960
<v Speaker 2>It's something that all of these coaches, like you said

409
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Beck skip Holtz, it's uh, you know, Bob stoops

410
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:19.279
<v Speaker 2>even it's like, you know, my my goal is to

411
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.160
<v Speaker 2>develop these players. But you know, where do you draw

412
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the line of I need to develop this guy. I'm

413
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 2>going to put him in this tough situation here in

414
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.640
<v Speaker 2>crunch time. Are you going to do that and risk

415
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.119
<v Speaker 2>a game? I don't think so. Not in the I mean,

416
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:35.440
<v Speaker 2>this is still a competitive league, especially when you just

417
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.400
<v Speaker 2>have eight teams, So I don't think that there's so

418
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.119
<v Speaker 2>I think coaches do have to kind of figure out

419
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.119
<v Speaker 2>walking that great area of we want to develop, but

420
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:46.920
<v Speaker 2>also you know, we want to win these games because

421
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:48.839
<v Speaker 2>if we start winning games and put a good product

422
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:50.880
<v Speaker 2>on the field, you hope that fans will show up

423
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:52.359
<v Speaker 2>and people will watch on television.

424
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:54.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you kind of get we we're living through that

425
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.880
<v Speaker 1>right now. The Mariners and Dan Wilson and we had.

426
00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:58.599
<v Speaker 1>We're getting a lot of like, let's play some of

427
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the guy. You know, we're still early in this season.

428
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:02.920
<v Speaker 1>We're trying to kind of figure out, Okay, let's pinch

429
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:05.759
<v Speaker 1>hit this guy. But then every time it's bottom of

430
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the ninth and then that guy's back up to bat again.

431
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:12.240
<v Speaker 1>You go, God, I sure wish we you know, excuse me,

432
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 1>wish we could have gone back on that. I'm sorry,

433
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I might. I might disgro off camera for a second

434
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.599
<v Speaker 1>to just blow my nose just because it's so disgusting. John,

435
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:21.720
<v Speaker 1>do you want to wait, let's go through this just

436
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:23.799
<v Speaker 1>super quick. We'll finish the game here. But yeah, the

437
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.680
<v Speaker 1>ten thousand in Michigan and then I'm doua below here.

438
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.319
<v Speaker 1>I always have that as well, this kind of the

439
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:32.039
<v Speaker 1>conference breakdowns and the outliers with Saint Louis and otherwise.

440
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.559
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, if they're just gonna lie about I mean,

441
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.519
<v Speaker 1>it's not a lie. It's distributed tickets, but I mean

442
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 1>there's not so that's just the number. Now I'm not

443
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.200
<v Speaker 1>going to freak out about that. But I'm also not

444
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:45.079
<v Speaker 1>going to like count these as the win here because

445
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.559
<v Speaker 1>DC thirteen thousand is normally closer to seventeen eighteen. So like,

446
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:53.519
<v Speaker 1>there's never been ten thousand souls ever in Michigan when

447
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.720
<v Speaker 1>any of these teams have played. So if you want to,

448
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're just maybe they're sending them to a school

449
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and saying here's five thousand, you know, here's five hundred

450
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:04.440
<v Speaker 1>tickets for your students to go and then they go,

451
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:06.799
<v Speaker 1>we'll see we distributed the tickets. It depends on that.

452
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.079
<v Speaker 1>I know, curious your thoughts on that, Like this, just

453
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 1>that feels like an outlier high where it almost feels

454
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>like that's disingenuous and I'm gonna go blow my house

455
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:14.759
<v Speaker 1>beer back.

456
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, No, I'll agree with you. And you know I've

457
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:20.119
<v Speaker 2>seen in Saint Louis. You know, they said they were

458
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:22.079
<v Speaker 2>thirty two thousand people there, but we saw a lot

459
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:24.920
<v Speaker 2>of empty seats that were, you know, in that lower bowl.

460
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.559
<v Speaker 2>I remember, you know, I've gone to a couple of

461
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Saint Louis games, especially last year, and when they said

462
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.480
<v Speaker 2>there were thirty two, thirty three thousand whatever, the whole

463
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.319
<v Speaker 2>lower bowl, you didn't see a lot of empty seats.

464
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:39.240
<v Speaker 2>So but I think this does happen, you know, to

465
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Read's point, a lot of the times these are distributed tickets,

466
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:44.640
<v Speaker 2>These are sponsors who are probably given a block of

467
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.519
<v Speaker 2>tickets as part of some kind of sponsorship opportunity. So

468
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.839
<v Speaker 2>if you know, if the Mark Cast is sponsoring you know,

469
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:54.319
<v Speaker 2>the the Memphis Showboats, and they say a part of

470
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:56.839
<v Speaker 2>this sponsorship deal is you're gonna get signage and you're

471
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna get this, you're gonna get an in game announcement,

472
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:00.799
<v Speaker 2>but you're also going to going to get a block

473
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.480
<v Speaker 2>of five hundred tickets. You know, are are who's going

474
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:06.880
<v Speaker 2>to use those five hundred tickets? I mean, you and

475
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I have both worked for TV stations. You know how

476
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:12.200
<v Speaker 2>many times somebody will say, hey, we uh, as part

477
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.160
<v Speaker 2>of our sponsorship deal, they've given us these thirty tickets

478
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.480
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. If it does anybody want them? And then

479
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.960
<v Speaker 2>you'll see, like you know, back in the physical ticket

480
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:22.119
<v Speaker 2>they they'd be posted up on the bullet the board somewhere.

481
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.079
<v Speaker 2>So so that's tickets distributed versus people who actually show up.

482
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:28.079
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's that's what you see a lot

483
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:29.920
<v Speaker 2>of the times when you see some of these numbers

484
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.079
<v Speaker 2>when the eyeball test tells you that wasn't what was

485
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 2>in the stadium that night.

486
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so I don't want to live on this,

487
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:39.519
<v Speaker 1>but like my feeling, at least on the Michigan now

488
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:41.240
<v Speaker 1>is if that's how they're going to play that, I'm

489
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:43.279
<v Speaker 1>just not going to freak out every week of like, wow,

490
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:45.759
<v Speaker 1>that's really And I see comments in the child like

491
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.200
<v Speaker 1>they're on the rice. Okay, I mean that that's what

492
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 1>they want, right the perceptions reality. It annoys me where

493
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:55.880
<v Speaker 1>that's just accepted now, right, like it's just accepted like oh,

494
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.599
<v Speaker 1>we you know, we it's it's ten thousand, it's ten thousand,

495
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:01.440
<v Speaker 1>we said, you know, it's like the chock. Think anything else.

496
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:04.920
<v Speaker 1>So Stallion's looking great, right, obviously, Panthers anything else? It

497
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:07.960
<v Speaker 1>takeaways of that of the Friday night game, I will

498
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 1>pull up something else there.

499
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, the one thing I'm I'm going to be interested

500
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:14.680
<v Speaker 2>in to see like if Alex Magoo is not as injured.

501
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:17.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, he said he said that his shoulder came

502
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.240
<v Speaker 2>out of socket. Now whether that was really the case

503
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:22.240
<v Speaker 2>or not, I don't know. But it's going to be

504
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:24.759
<v Speaker 2>interesting what kind of quarterback decision And as we say,

505
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:26.400
<v Speaker 2>two weeks in a row now, it'll be interesting to

506
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:28.559
<v Speaker 2>see the quarterback decision that skip Holtz makes.

507
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Well and yeah, and how how bad do you gauge

508
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that injury? I guess is that a long term concern?

509
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, as they said during the broadcast, and you've you've

510
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.759
<v Speaker 2>seen it a lot on every level of football. Sometimes

511
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:43.279
<v Speaker 2>you have to save players from themselves. All yeah, I'm fine,

512
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I can go in there. But if skip Holtz kept

513
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.160
<v Speaker 2>telling Alex Magoo, you know, just be smart with this thing,

514
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:51.480
<v Speaker 2>and I know it seemed like he was pretty upset

515
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:55.359
<v Speaker 2>that he wasn't back in the game. So if if

516
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:58.640
<v Speaker 2>a player tells you that his shoulder popped out a socket,

517
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:01.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if you're a head coach, you really

518
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:02.599
<v Speaker 2>want to hear that and say, yeah, I'm going to

519
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:04.519
<v Speaker 2>put you back in because it's pretty important game we're

520
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.319
<v Speaker 2>playing right here.

521
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:09.400
<v Speaker 1>No, I totally get that. Yeah, protecting players from themselves.

522
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:12.039
<v Speaker 1>We see the said even even in baseball, with all

523
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that abdu all, they need to get a lot more responsor.

524
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I like that. You tickets right, well, No, like to

525
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:19.599
<v Speaker 1>your point, we used to. I when I worked at

526
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the Fox station here, we would get tickets to the

527
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Piatte Fair and they go, here's one hundred tickets right

528
00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:27.680
<v Speaker 1>for family and friends, and they're good, you know, and

529
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 1>maybe for the UFL it's this game or that game whatever,

530
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:32.880
<v Speaker 1>but you know they count that as Hey, these are

531
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:35.680
<v Speaker 1>tickets out whatever, go into all that. All right, So

532
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the one Saturday game, and I like, this is just

533
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:42.640
<v Speaker 1>my thing. I'm sitting around here all day. We have Dorothy,

534
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:47.160
<v Speaker 1>my wife's school school auction her alma mother from high school?

535
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Is it? Is it still your alma mother if it's

536
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.519
<v Speaker 1>just your high school like, so sure, right, okay, you're

537
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>off the lot going. So I'm like, of course I'm

538
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.359
<v Speaker 1>sitting around her all day, nothing to do. But of

539
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.200
<v Speaker 1>course games on at five conduct here later Defenders, you

540
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.680
<v Speaker 1>know here, big time show boats fall again, right, Ken's

541
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:06.079
<v Speaker 1>back everything. We're kind of figuring all that out. What

542
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:08.880
<v Speaker 1>do you make of the show boats here? I.

543
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Like I said earlier, I think that this is a

544
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 2>much improved team. Is there such thing as the best

545
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 2>oh and two team? I don't know, uh, but you

546
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker 2>look at like e J. Perry there, like that his

547
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker 2>connection with Jonathan Adams. I think Jonathan Adams ended up

548
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:24.079
<v Speaker 2>with let me see, about one hundred and twenty eight

549
00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty yards receiving here out of the two

550
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:28.640
<v Speaker 2>hundred and five, So that connection is working.

551
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:29.599
<v Speaker 1>I like e J.

552
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Perry in this you know, in this system. Uh, you know,

553
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.680
<v Speaker 2>d C they looked a little rough. If I'm a

554
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.160
<v Speaker 2>DC Defenders fan, I'm a little worried about playing at

555
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:43.160
<v Speaker 2>the BattleHawks this weekend because I you know, even though

556
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:46.160
<v Speaker 2>they won the game, they won against a you know,

557
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:48.480
<v Speaker 2>a win list. Now you know, oh and two team,

558
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 2>but still a much improved Memphis show Boats team. And

559
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I think Ken wizen Hunt coming back is probably maybe

560
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, the waters were a little choppy there in

561
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:02.079
<v Speaker 2>the in in the first game, and you understand because

562
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:05.240
<v Speaker 2>it seems so sudden, but man, I just really feel like,

563
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, if they've got the talent to make this

564
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:11.640
<v Speaker 2>a with a better showing this year, and I think

565
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.279
<v Speaker 2>we saw a little bit of that at d C.

566
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's interesting here, right Obviously you had in Ken's back,

567
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:19.319
<v Speaker 1>we had the the you know, the battle of the

568
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 1>two teams here with the head coaches, and d C

569
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.039
<v Speaker 1>is such a different situation where we're a lot of that.

570
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I think they'll be leeviing. You know, I'm curious with

571
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:29.599
<v Speaker 1>d C is after the season with all of that,

572
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 1>but I'm curious, you know, And we'll talk at tendants.

573
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:36.079
<v Speaker 1>But you know, d C was so bad last year.

574
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I wonder like fan apathy with that and then now

575
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:43.279
<v Speaker 1>where they're back. D C is a great franchise. I think,

576
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, one of the temple franchises for the UFL.

577
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 1>So you want them to be good that way, you

578
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.079
<v Speaker 1>say you're concerned about them going into Birmingham. I don't know,

579
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I think you need d C to be hot from

580
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the XFL side, because certainly Birmingham, I mean, yeah, you'll

581
00:26:57.920 --> 00:26:59.440
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of you have a lot of other

582
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 1>options here with with the San Antolio every been else.

583
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:05.359
<v Speaker 2>When uh DC goes into uh into Sanate, I mean,

584
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:08.240
<v Speaker 2>uh into Saint Louis this coming weekend, I believe that's

585
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:10.160
<v Speaker 2>what it is. So yeah, I mean, if I'm an,

586
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if I'm a DC fan, I'm gonna be

587
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:14.839
<v Speaker 2>a little worried about that because it just felt like

588
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:18.440
<v Speaker 2>that offense was stagnant. And again, you know, I don't

589
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.000
<v Speaker 2>think Ken wizen Hunt is into moral victories, but uh,

590
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:23.920
<v Speaker 2>to me, he got one. Uh and that team's just

591
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:24.599
<v Speaker 2>going to improve.

592
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.039
<v Speaker 1>How is how is our boy Jordan looking here? I

593
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:32.640
<v Speaker 1>feel like, here's how long he he continues to do

594
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:34.920
<v Speaker 1>this journey along with Lulis Prez. You know, we saw

595
00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:37.359
<v Speaker 1>McCarran get out. I'm just when do we kind of

596
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.079
<v Speaker 1>see this og wave of these players kind of age out?

597
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, I would have said that, you know, I made

598
00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:45.680
<v Speaker 2>the argument if, like for Louis Perez, you don't write

599
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.759
<v Speaker 2>a book if you're continuing to play. But when he

600
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.880
<v Speaker 2>talked about you know, he talked with his family at

601
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 2>the at the book event, the virtual book event, he said,

602
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, as long as I continue to to feel good,

603
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:00.279
<v Speaker 2>my family's you know, and I'm playing at the level

604
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I want to play, I want to continue. And he

605
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:04.200
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of great things to say about the UFL.

606
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:08.240
<v Speaker 2>So I'm I don't know if I'm ready to write

607
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.599
<v Speaker 2>off some as you said, the o G quarterbacks shit.

608
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:15.640
<v Speaker 2>But to me, if George, if if d C has

609
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.519
<v Speaker 2>another you know, week season, which they I mean, they've

610
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:21.480
<v Speaker 2>looked good, but it seems like they've got you know,

611
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:24.640
<v Speaker 2>their offense back together here that especially with Abram Smith

612
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:25.200
<v Speaker 2>coming back.

613
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

614
00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:28.200
<v Speaker 2>But but I think if it's another mediocre season and

615
00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:30.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of with the coaching changes and things that happen,

616
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:33.160
<v Speaker 2>you do wonder if Jordan thom It was like, Okay,

617
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:34.039
<v Speaker 2>this might be enough.

618
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do you like to I saw at last Perez

619
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:41.680
<v Speaker 1>got Tom. I can't even talk my my Tom Pelisero

620
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 1>plug for his for his book on Twitter. Sure I

621
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.440
<v Speaker 1>couldn't believe that we had Tom Pelisara. They'll give it. Uh.

622
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.759
<v Speaker 1>It just goes back to like you know, I know

623
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>we're talking DC now, but this lose press thing like

624
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:57.039
<v Speaker 1>be in the face of Lake. We have a rock

625
00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and roll I hear I. I see your super chalol pulse

626
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:00.759
<v Speaker 1>out up here. In a minute, we're done with the game.

627
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:04.160
<v Speaker 1>So you say Memphis looks the best oh and two?

628
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Is there such thing as a good oh and two team?

629
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean I think so? I mean, go ahead. Bill Parcells,

630
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 2>you know he always says, you know, his quote about

631
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.599
<v Speaker 2>like you know, your record is what you know is

632
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:19.680
<v Speaker 2>about your team, had some great quote about that, like

633
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:22.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, your record is what you are. But still

634
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:24.839
<v Speaker 2>it's like, you know, if there's a good oh and

635
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:26.559
<v Speaker 2>two team, I'm gonna say it's to Memphis.

636
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he said, we almost want I am. It's kind

637
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.880
<v Speaker 1>of like, you know, well, that was how I felt

638
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.279
<v Speaker 1>about like the Commanders last year, because like we almost,

639
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, we made it, like we almost beat you know,

640
00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>we didn't almost. Yeah, we couldn't beat the Eagles, And

641
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:39.480
<v Speaker 1>it's like, well, you have a failure of a season.

642
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:44.240
<v Speaker 1>It didn't matter, okay, like I thought. Okay, So it's

643
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:46.599
<v Speaker 1>kind of always interesting to see or like, you know,

644
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:49.039
<v Speaker 1>not like Mike Mitchell talks a lot with you know,

645
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:51.039
<v Speaker 1>the Jets and how things would be different if things

646
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.519
<v Speaker 1>games did were different. For Aaron Rodgers, it's very true.

647
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Like I think both. I think both can are very

648
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:59.799
<v Speaker 1>valid and very very opposite as well. In terms of attendance.

649
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:02.160
<v Speaker 1>You're speaking of Mike Mitchell, and then obviously I think

650
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:04.279
<v Speaker 1>the Jets would be wildly different if certain things had

651
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:06.039
<v Speaker 1>gone you know, if certain games had gone different. With

652
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:10.279
<v Speaker 1>all that thirteen thousand, what was it around that last week?

653
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I think generally we're closer to seventeen last year. Feels

654
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:16.519
<v Speaker 1>like that might kind of be the water mark there,

655
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Saturday and night. I mean, had to be a decent

656
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:19.759
<v Speaker 1>time in DC that way.

657
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously I don't think it

658
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 2>was thirteen thousand. Certainly even the beer Snake area wasn't

659
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't totally full. Now they were able to get

660
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:31.599
<v Speaker 2>the beer Snake up there. I don't know if you've

661
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:33.119
<v Speaker 2>heard of the beer snake, but it's something they do

662
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:33.519
<v Speaker 2>in DC.

663
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Read Yeah, remember I loved the I love the beer Snake.

664
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:39.279
<v Speaker 2>Was right, you said you loved it. You need you

665
00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:44.000
<v Speaker 2>want even more of it? Uh? Yeah, I think as

666
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:49.640
<v Speaker 2>we start to move along, I'm interested to see what

667
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:52.200
<v Speaker 2>the DC turnout will be for a couple of reasons,

668
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:54.200
<v Speaker 2>and one being what you just mentioned about, you know,

669
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:57.279
<v Speaker 2>people liking the Commanders. Again, I think that that was

670
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 2>what made Saint Louis so strong is because they you know,

671
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:04.559
<v Speaker 2>they hated uh Stan Kronkey for leaving and it was

672
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:06.559
<v Speaker 2>kind of the middle finger. They're like, hey, look at this,

673
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:09.240
<v Speaker 2>we have this good team and we don't need you,

674
00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:11.119
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to show up and support this team.

675
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:14.160
<v Speaker 2>And I think there was also kind of the same

676
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:16.960
<v Speaker 2>thing to Dangel Snyder at the time, is we're going

677
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:19.279
<v Speaker 2>to show up. And the good thing is DC was good.

678
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:21.519
<v Speaker 2>There was a reason to show up for them. So

679
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I just wonder if you're what you said about fan

680
00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:27.480
<v Speaker 2>apathy might happen, especially as if they're not going to

681
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:30.160
<v Speaker 2>be up to par Now again, we're talking about a

682
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:32.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, a two and o team, So I'm not ready.

683
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:33.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna ride them out now.

684
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The thing and I do, like I said, I

685
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.000
<v Speaker 1>think for my money, uh and and I I have

686
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:43.160
<v Speaker 1>been to Saint Louis. I've not been to Saint Louis

687
00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:45.640
<v Speaker 1>when the battle Hawks were playing in the stadium. I

688
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.039
<v Speaker 1>would imagine that would be number one it's great my

689
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:51.640
<v Speaker 1>number one. Oh and it was well no, actually so yeah,

690
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:55.160
<v Speaker 1>so John Lewis talking battle Hawks, speaking of which Kevin said,

691
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 1>see for it, Brandon, then let's get rid of this. Yeah,

692
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>totally forgot about that. I got an email this morning

693
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>from friend of the program Kevin Seffert ESPN, and he goes,

694
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>what's the deal with these BattleHawks? I want to talk

695
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to someone about going to the BattleHawks games? Said, Uh, well,

696
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:14.160
<v Speaker 1>do you want someone crazy or do you want someone saying?

697
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:17.240
<v Speaker 1>And I will not tell you what he said, but

698
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:18.680
<v Speaker 1>then I don't know what she talked.

699
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what he.

700
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Said on Lewis. So hopefully John Lewis is going to

701
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.480
<v Speaker 1>be quoted. Hopefully ended upcoming an article here from Kevin Seabert.

702
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:27.000
<v Speaker 1>So I thought, I thought that that was great. Sorry

703
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:28.519
<v Speaker 1>signed no tangent for all that, but.

704
00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:30.480
<v Speaker 2>And I appreciate you passing his inf But we had

705
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:33.319
<v Speaker 2>a great conversation. He's I love the work that he does,

706
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and I told him so. He's like, he's one of

707
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.359
<v Speaker 2>the national reporters who gets it. He's broken a lot

708
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:41.640
<v Speaker 2>of news, certainly about the union issues and all, but

709
00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:44.240
<v Speaker 2>he also covers the league. I think in a way

710
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:47.279
<v Speaker 2>that you know, legitimately covering this league.

711
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh. You know, he does pay dividends to be like

712
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 1>friends with me. Sometimes I do know people and like

713
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:59.680
<v Speaker 1>things and gets like you know, it's not all imagine that.

714
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean like its just anyway. It just goes all it.

715
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, speaking of Uh, to me, the best environment

716
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:07.559
<v Speaker 1>I've ever been to is in d C. So I

717
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:10.759
<v Speaker 1>want that to be successful. I've been there for kickoff,

718
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I've been there for playoff games. I've done two or

719
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:16.039
<v Speaker 1>three games there. I really like it, but I am

720
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:20.119
<v Speaker 1>tired of Oh wait, John, I see it. The beer

721
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:23.559
<v Speaker 1>snake is like it's every game now. It was it

722
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:27.000
<v Speaker 1>was fine week one. It was like, it's you don't

723
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:29.079
<v Speaker 1>need to do it every time. So there's twelve thirteen

724
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:31.279
<v Speaker 1>thousand everybody. You don't I don't need it every time

725
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a nauseum and the novelty of that is one.

726
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you know what it probably has to us.

727
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.599
<v Speaker 2>But when you're trying to bring in casual viewers like

728
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:42.400
<v Speaker 2>that's easy, that's low hanging through because there would be

729
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.559
<v Speaker 2>people who are watching, you know who, this is the

730
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.079
<v Speaker 2>first time they've seen a UFL game or a DC game,

731
00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:49.200
<v Speaker 2>and They're like, what is going on in the end zone?

732
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:51.559
<v Speaker 2>So you don't want as you know, we've worked in television,

733
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.880
<v Speaker 2>you we are there. Television is there to answer viewers questions.

734
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:58.400
<v Speaker 2>They're not there to make them, you know, ask those

735
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.880
<v Speaker 2>questions and leave them unanswered. So uh no, I get it.

736
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:04.079
<v Speaker 2>I think for all of us, you know, hardcore siccos

737
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:06.359
<v Speaker 2>that watch every minute of every game, it's it does

738
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.639
<v Speaker 2>get a little old, but but I mean, I get

739
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:12.559
<v Speaker 2>it again. It's low hanging fruit. Luis Perez, you know,

740
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.480
<v Speaker 2>played D two ball and never played in high school.

741
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.079
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, but they're good stories.

742
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:20.639
<v Speaker 1>John Bold and his family comes on the field and

743
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:25.159
<v Speaker 1>helps him run routes. Okay, Like I love the Louis Press.

744
00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:28.440
<v Speaker 1>He is a charismatic person in the world. Can we please,

745
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:31.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like every week on here are into renegades. Would

746
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:34.000
<v Speaker 1>you like to talk to Bob Stoops and Louise Press

747
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:35.880
<v Speaker 1>is like I would like to tell to anybody else?

748
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:37.559
<v Speaker 1>I would like to Can we type to anybody else?

749
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Anybody else on this?

750
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:38.800
<v Speaker 2>All right?

751
00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:41.480
<v Speaker 1>We have a ton of comments here to talk through.

752
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:43.679
<v Speaker 1>All these a lot of actually ones, and we'll get

753
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.119
<v Speaker 1>to the other two games. And my rant Rock and

754
00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:49.599
<v Speaker 1>roll COOKI is better in San Antonio or Detroit. He's

755
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:51.880
<v Speaker 1>where's he He's with Birmingham.

756
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Right, he's the he's the third stringer in Birmingham. And

757
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:57.039
<v Speaker 2>that signing still confuses me to this hour.

758
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, big brain on read here. So he mean we're

759
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:02.400
<v Speaker 1>would you put in Detroiter, we'll talk say san Antonio

760
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:03.039
<v Speaker 1>coming up here.

761
00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not ready to count out Kellen Mond yet

762
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:07.760
<v Speaker 2>in San Antonio. I mean, I think that's still kind

763
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 2>of trying to jill. It hasn't quite jailed just yet.

764
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:15.159
<v Speaker 2>And uh, I mean I don't I don't know that

765
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:17.400
<v Speaker 2>you want to, you know, put him with the Panthers yet.

766
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:20.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean that quarterback situation seems okay right now.

767
00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I think there are places for him, Like wouldn't you

768
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:26.320
<v Speaker 2>like to see him in Houston? He might not like

769
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:28.320
<v Speaker 2>to see him in Houston, So you know, I don't know,

770
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:31.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't, but the but for him to be in Birmingham,

771
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I just I did not. I'm still trying to figure

772
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.039
<v Speaker 2>out on that one. But but if I had to choose,

773
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:39.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, to answer the question, I'd choose between those.

774
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would probably say San Antonio just because

775
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:44.519
<v Speaker 2>that they're they're struggling so much right now.

776
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll never forgive the USFL for making Case Cooks get

777
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>married in the walking boot because you got injured during

778
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:54.320
<v Speaker 1>the championship game. As someone that has filmed the leadings

779
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:57.960
<v Speaker 1>with rooms in walking boots, that is hard.

780
00:35:58.079 --> 00:35:58.719
<v Speaker 2>I had.

781
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:02.199
<v Speaker 1>I've had right that couldn't walk. I've had grooms that

782
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:05.480
<v Speaker 1>couldn't John I had a bride. She had to be

783
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:09.239
<v Speaker 1>carried down to our first local location, and then eight

784
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:12.199
<v Speaker 1>hours later she is on the dance flo hammered, just

785
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.960
<v Speaker 1>like I go. That girl is going to be on

786
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:18.119
<v Speaker 1>the stretcher tomorrow on the anyway, Yes, I agree with that.

787
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Scott's Oh, it's like s Scott Steiner, It's got st

788
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:27.079
<v Speaker 1>seems sagnant Saint Louis. They're going to However, they get

789
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:30.440
<v Speaker 1>some calls in my opinion of him talking about you know,

790
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:32.880
<v Speaker 1>for its field, greg I know Gregor, I saw your call.

791
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Mac Gregoro was there. He's always met Gregory and Saint

792
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Louis all that, but here this was a go and

793
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Leon keep doing this show big need for non fanboys.

794
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:44.360
<v Speaker 2>I you're the opposite of a fan boy.

795
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Well the different At this point my life is not

796
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.159
<v Speaker 1>affected by the UFL, positively or negatively. So you have

797
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:55.239
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people that are riding on this to

798
00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:58.719
<v Speaker 1>be whatever, you know, players and coaches and fans and

799
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:02.159
<v Speaker 1>media people like ever and like I just it doesn't.

800
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:04.400
<v Speaker 1>If it's affected me less and less every year, it

801
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:06.320
<v Speaker 1>has no effect on me anymore. I want to do

802
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.320
<v Speaker 1>the show because I like talking to John and watching

803
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:10.599
<v Speaker 1>and support, but like, so, yeah, I'll just say it

804
00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:12.400
<v Speaker 1>like I see it. I don't go to the games

805
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:14.360
<v Speaker 1>right now. I don't need to worry about getting credit

806
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:16.480
<v Speaker 1>like I don't. I don't have you know, does that

807
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:17.760
<v Speaker 1>make sense, John.

808
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:18.719
<v Speaker 2>No, it does.

809
00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean like if I if my if my livelihood

810
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:25.760
<v Speaker 1>relied on the UFL. Yeah, I what are we doing here?

811
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Well? I think you know, and we see this with

812
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:32.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, some of the college uh uh sport football

813
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:36.559
<v Speaker 2>and basketball sites where you know they're dedicated to that team.

814
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:40.159
<v Speaker 2>It's like you're not going to get honest coverage. You're

815
00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:43.280
<v Speaker 2>not going to get you know, unbiased coverage. Now some

816
00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:44.800
<v Speaker 2>of us, you know, I look, I've got a Saint

817
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Louis shirt on, so I mean I can't say I'm unbiased,

818
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:49.800
<v Speaker 2>But like I don't, there's no like I hate this

819
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.440
<v Speaker 2>team or I like this team, And I don't think

820
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:55.679
<v Speaker 2>that we should want to really sugarcoat things because you

821
00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:57.519
<v Speaker 2>want to be honest with the fans, and I think

822
00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:59.440
<v Speaker 2>that's what you know we try to do. And I

823
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:02.360
<v Speaker 2>know you do. You want to be like, let's cover this. Yes,

824
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:05.039
<v Speaker 2>do we enjoy it absolutely. I mean I sit here

825
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:07.280
<v Speaker 2>every weekend and watch these games and read about it

826
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:09.360
<v Speaker 2>during the week. But I mean I'm not going to

827
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:11.400
<v Speaker 2>sugarcoat it and say like, oh, well, you know there

828
00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:13.719
<v Speaker 2>really were thirty two thousand fans. You know, stop lying

829
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:16.639
<v Speaker 2>about this. You know that's I don't you know. And

830
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:19.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, let's be honest about TV ratings and those

831
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:22.239
<v Speaker 2>kinds of things. Some people will tell you, hey, stop whining,

832
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:25.199
<v Speaker 2>just enjoy the stuff. But you know that's you're You're

833
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:27.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna get whining from us. It's just what happens.

834
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:30.199
<v Speaker 1>This is what it is. And I pat here says

835
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:32.719
<v Speaker 1>he's waiting for lawn read. I think that means outdoor.

836
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:34.760
<v Speaker 1>But John, you do get the other side of my

837
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.599
<v Speaker 1>living room today because normally amb said beautiful the other

838
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:39.760
<v Speaker 1>side of the downing table, but I'm packing, so you

839
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:41.679
<v Speaker 1>can see the other side of our living room. So

840
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:42.800
<v Speaker 1>there you go.

841
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Changing.

842
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm not a believer in TAMU for the defenders,

843
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just curious with these guys because like players age,

844
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:52.559
<v Speaker 1>and I mean, like you know, especially president stuff, it's

845
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:55.000
<v Speaker 1>been like forever and all through all of these I

846
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:58.079
<v Speaker 1>just it just kills me with all that stuff. Okay,

847
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and then okay, let's get anything.

848
00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:03.639
<v Speaker 2>But I will say I will say with Luis Perez,

849
00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:07.840
<v Speaker 2>remember he had his best season ever statistically last year,

850
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:11.320
<v Speaker 2>even though that team was mediocre at best. He continues

851
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:15.239
<v Speaker 2>to play at a high level. Now you know the game,

852
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:17.679
<v Speaker 2>you know the game with Houston. It wasn't a great game,

853
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:20.599
<v Speaker 2>but you know when he you could see him start

854
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.440
<v Speaker 2>to heat up. And he is one of the mean

855
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:25.920
<v Speaker 2>after he's played so much he should. He is one

856
00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:29.360
<v Speaker 2>of the most comfortable looking quarterbacks in the pocket and

857
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:33.599
<v Speaker 2>like his field command. You there's a veteran presence there.

858
00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's obviously a veteran. I mean, I think

859
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:38.559
<v Speaker 2>he played in the original USFL. It seems like he's

860
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:41.280
<v Speaker 2>been around for so long. But I just love to

861
00:39:41.280 --> 00:39:44.360
<v Speaker 2>watch him play, and you know, that's that's when you

862
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:45.880
<v Speaker 2>want to see. You want to see a guy like

863
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:48.280
<v Speaker 2>that succeed and get to you know, get back to

864
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:51.679
<v Speaker 2>that championship game, because he even said, like, you know,

865
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.760
<v Speaker 2>we talked about it before when he was with that

866
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:56.920
<v Speaker 2>clown show in Vegas, he thought about retiring because it

867
00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:58.800
<v Speaker 2>was so bad and he got benched and none of

868
00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.280
<v Speaker 2>that made sense. Then he goes to Arlington win the

869
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:03.079
<v Speaker 2>XFL Championship. I mean, what a story.

870
00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Let's oh. Then just last thing on here is excuse

871
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:11.199
<v Speaker 1>me Brocker roll, I asked, because is is a legit starting?

872
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:14.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but since I love Case, I love.

873
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I think he's a legitimate starter. There's no question.

874
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Do you think he's a draw? Now trying to be

875
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:22.320
<v Speaker 1>argument that I'm asking.

876
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:26.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know if he's probably not, because

877
00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:30.199
<v Speaker 2>what you're what you're drawing to these games are you're

878
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:33.199
<v Speaker 2>trying to draw casual fans. You're not trying to draw

879
00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:36.599
<v Speaker 2>again as hardcore siccos we're gonna go and we're gonna

880
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:38.199
<v Speaker 2>watch anyway. I don't so, I don't know if he's

881
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:40.719
<v Speaker 2>a draw, but he is a legitimate starter. That's why

882
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I said, like I just can't understand him going to Birmingham,

883
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Like what, like why I just you know, you have

884
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:49.840
<v Speaker 2>you had Alex Magoo coming back, who who is a veteran.

885
00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:51.840
<v Speaker 2>You had Matt Carroll who had been in the system

886
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:54.400
<v Speaker 2>already a year, and if he was gonna, if there

887
00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:56.280
<v Speaker 2>was something to learn, he would you think he would

888
00:40:56.360 --> 00:40:59.760
<v Speaker 2>learn from Alex Magoo. But I mean, skip Holtz, I'll

889
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:01.840
<v Speaker 2>never question him. How came you?

890
00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh? And then the last thing, you're Andrew Andy checking

891
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:07.679
<v Speaker 1>in the professor. You know, I haven't talked to him Andy,

892
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:09.480
<v Speaker 1>like one on one in a long time. But Andy's

893
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:12.119
<v Speaker 1>been good. He's been hiking all around with his lady,

894
00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:14.599
<v Speaker 1>and I've been seeing lots of photos. I got stunnying

895
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:17.280
<v Speaker 1>photo of them in a cave somewhere that looked awesome,

896
00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:19.719
<v Speaker 1>and I was. I just thought, I there's no more

897
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.800
<v Speaker 1>person happier for me, uh, for him right now than me.

898
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:25.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, Andrew's fishing him with that. So let's talk

899
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:30.199
<v Speaker 1>to this. This game, the Renegade's rough next game. This

900
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.360
<v Speaker 1>was the game of course I was able. This was

901
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:35.039
<v Speaker 1>my treadmill game. I'm on the treadmill. I'm walked in.

902
00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:37.679
<v Speaker 1>As you can tell from my you can always tell

903
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.800
<v Speaker 1>what game is Read's treadmill game. President is incessant tweeting

904
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:45.239
<v Speaker 1>and texting. But Anthony was at this one. Uh you know,

905
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:47.679
<v Speaker 1>I had to pay for parking to go, and I

906
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:50.039
<v Speaker 1>don't know if there's ever food or water there. And

907
00:41:50.119 --> 00:41:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I think there was a leaking in the press box.

908
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:57.039
<v Speaker 1>But we're really worried about who gets credited with me. No,

909
00:41:57.239 --> 00:41:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm here. Well there we go. I pushed my button

910
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:02.159
<v Speaker 1>and I triggered my YouTube thing. I had just sports

911
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:04.719
<v Speaker 1>playing another Uh this game? Like again, John, So I'm

912
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:08.320
<v Speaker 1>watching this game. I mean I don't like, how do

913
00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I should like? My mom is a diehard football fan,

914
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:14.519
<v Speaker 1>watches college football. Every college football watches uh you know,

915
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.440
<v Speaker 1>every team, all the NFL everything. I've even got here

916
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:19.119
<v Speaker 1>and watched the great comp stuff like how do I

917
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:22.840
<v Speaker 1>put this on? How do I put this on? Like

918
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:24.159
<v Speaker 1>for him to watch? For her to watch.

919
00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:28.239
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you could say, watch this punter because he's great.

920
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:31.719
<v Speaker 2>And you know Marquette King had a you know, seventy

921
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:33.679
<v Speaker 2>yard punt, so it was like, hey, that was cool.

922
00:42:34.519 --> 00:42:37.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean you had a push push like they brought

923
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:40.480
<v Speaker 2>they brought that into the offense. I mean, here, I'm

924
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:42.239
<v Speaker 2>doing exactly what I said I wouldn't do. I'm not

925
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:44.480
<v Speaker 2>trying to cant. I'm trying to sugarcoat this and try

926
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:47.079
<v Speaker 2>to sell it to you. There was nothing to sell here.

927
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:50.719
<v Speaker 2>This just you know, Anthony Brown, he doesn't look comfortable

928
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:53.960
<v Speaker 2>back there. You know Nolan Henderson, you know he was

929
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:57.119
<v Speaker 2>in there briefly and tried. But you know again, Luis

930
00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Perez just in there just I mean running the show

931
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:02.159
<v Speaker 2>when he started to heat up. But it was like

932
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:04.559
<v Speaker 2>it took well, I think it was like about ten

933
00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:06.559
<v Speaker 2>and a half minutes left to go in the game

934
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:09.639
<v Speaker 2>before they got you know, before he threw a touchdown.

935
00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:11.880
<v Speaker 2>So it was a tough watch. Like I said, it

936
00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:14.559
<v Speaker 2>was a televised abortion there for about three quarters.

937
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I do love though, if you want to have a

938
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:20.719
<v Speaker 1>glowing comment for me and then Tisdale, I do see

939
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:24.119
<v Speaker 1>a comment here will bring up he is like a

940
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:26.519
<v Speaker 1>coach on the field, right, and so obviously that is

941
00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:28.199
<v Speaker 1>he and we've talked through all this and what's his

942
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:29.880
<v Speaker 1>actual strategy and all that. I mean, I see that

943
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:32.039
<v Speaker 1>a million percent. I think he's going to be great.

944
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:34.039
<v Speaker 1>I think he's so passionate, and I think that all

945
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:36.320
<v Speaker 1>of this is I don't know where he ends up

946
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:39.000
<v Speaker 1>at some college somewhere, at a high school, or whatever

947
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:41.079
<v Speaker 1>he ends up doing or working in the UFL. Like,

948
00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I just think his his command and ability to kind

949
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of know that. But I do think the athleticism and

950
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:49.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of that is aging out on that. Any thoughts

951
00:43:49.239 --> 00:43:50.840
<v Speaker 1>on that before I go to these other comments.

952
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:53.360
<v Speaker 2>No, I think he's going to be a coach sometime.

953
00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:55.519
<v Speaker 2>You know. I was able to ask him about like

954
00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:58.960
<v Speaker 2>what what advice does he give to the to you know,

955
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:01.760
<v Speaker 2>some of the younger quarterbacks, not just with the Renegades,

956
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:03.760
<v Speaker 2>because you know, they're all there together and I think,

957
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:05.199
<v Speaker 2>you know a lot of them kind of get together

958
00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:07.599
<v Speaker 2>and talk and you know, the advice he started to

959
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:10.239
<v Speaker 2>talk about giving them, It's like, this sounds like a coach.

960
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:13.599
<v Speaker 2>This sounds like a coach giving advice to you know,

961
00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:16.079
<v Speaker 2>to up and comers. So I think that is a

962
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:18.519
<v Speaker 2>lot of his value. I don't think he's finished yet,

963
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:22.400
<v Speaker 2>and I think that you know, we might see Arlington

964
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:24.639
<v Speaker 2>like keep you know, on the rise here for a while.

965
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:29.280
<v Speaker 1>The john does Curtis Johnson deserve to have a job

966
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:31.920
<v Speaker 1>today Monday, April seventh, as the head coach of a

967
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:33.400
<v Speaker 1>football team.

968
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:36.599
<v Speaker 2>If you brought if you're sitting across from Curtis Johnson

969
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:38.599
<v Speaker 2>and ask him that question to his face, what would

970
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:41.920
<v Speaker 2>he tell you? Like, what argument could he make?

971
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine what.

972
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:47.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean, I'm not one of those

973
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:49.239
<v Speaker 2>fire the guy, fire the guy, this guy should lose

974
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:51.840
<v Speaker 2>his job. I'm I'm I've never been one of those.

975
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Well maybe with the Seahawks a few times, but uh,

976
00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:00.840
<v Speaker 2>but for Curtis Johnson, it's just like, I don't know

977
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:04.320
<v Speaker 2>what argument anyone can make outside of that locker room,

978
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:06.159
<v Speaker 2>and there will probably be some inside the locker room

979
00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:08.360
<v Speaker 2>that would make the argument against it. I just it's

980
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:11.599
<v Speaker 2>it's it's no good, it's not getting better, and it's

981
00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:12.559
<v Speaker 2>not been good for a while.

982
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:16.519
<v Speaker 1>No DeMarcus here has a jang john in Tellvi's abortion,

983
00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:19.519
<v Speaker 1>Tell us how you really feel? I really felt it

984
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:21.639
<v Speaker 1>was it was rough, it was rough. The other comment here,

985
00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:26.559
<v Speaker 1>I read narrative is trending towards the hitter. I say no,

986
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and I mean this, My my opinions and thoughts are

987
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:32.280
<v Speaker 1>well documented at this point, but I've actually gotten more

988
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:35.480
<v Speaker 1>d ms and calls and texts this season saying, man,

989
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:38.719
<v Speaker 1>you're right like and I'm not even like again, I don't,

990
00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:41.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. I don't want to be right. I

991
00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:43.760
<v Speaker 1>don't want to I want everyone to succeed. I want

992
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.760
<v Speaker 1>it to work when I point out when things don't work,

993
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't want it to fail. Uh. But but I

994
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:51.400
<v Speaker 1>am seeing a lot more comments I say coming to

995
00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:55.639
<v Speaker 1>me yeah you're right or like wow, okay, like yeah,

996
00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:58.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, and so you know, take it for what

997
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.320
<v Speaker 1>it is again. I mean, there's no reason go to

998
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:03.239
<v Speaker 1>this show anymore expecting me to say anything different. I mean,

999
00:46:03.480 --> 00:46:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like my my opinions and thoughts are well known.

1000
00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:08.840
<v Speaker 1>But that's where I'm at. But I haven't getting in

1001
00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:11.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that. And even from people they used

1002
00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:13.239
<v Speaker 1>to be with the league that I've had comment you know,

1003
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:16.199
<v Speaker 1>and they're like yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep. So anyway,

1004
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:17.400
<v Speaker 1>any thoughts on that.

1005
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:21.880
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, it's too bad because we're we are

1006
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:25.159
<v Speaker 2>all like rooting for this league. That's why we come

1007
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:27.440
<v Speaker 2>on here every Monday and talk about it. It's not

1008
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:29.559
<v Speaker 2>to come over here and be like, you know, the

1009
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:33.360
<v Speaker 2>hater show. But you're right, there are a lot of things. Uh,

1010
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:35.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, you don't want a ton of fans service

1011
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:38.760
<v Speaker 2>because there are hardcores like I said, that will watch.

1012
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:42.039
<v Speaker 2>But you do need to listen to the fans, I

1013
00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:44.559
<v Speaker 2>think some and you need to listen to the independent

1014
00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:47.400
<v Speaker 2>media that cover this and just say, you know, let's

1015
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:50.519
<v Speaker 2>have a relationship here, like tell us like what can

1016
00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:53.000
<v Speaker 2>we do better? Let's have a roundtable where we can

1017
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:56.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, sit and talk. It's like and not not

1018
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:58.639
<v Speaker 2>with just us, I mean like with with fans. I

1019
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:01.840
<v Speaker 2>mean to me, that would go a long way into

1020
00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:04.360
<v Speaker 2>fostering some some good things instead of a lot of us,

1021
00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:07.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, complaining because we continued to see this over

1022
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:08.039
<v Speaker 2>and over and over again.

1023
00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Then zelle heryet have some opinions as ext oh Sam opinions.

1024
00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:14.119
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was getting an in by come on,

1025
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I say, hey, let me know. But yeah, same opinions.

1026
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:19.119
<v Speaker 1>And there you go, as he means, oh last thing

1027
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:22.639
<v Speaker 1>on this. Yeah, Arlington ninety five hundreds for that, and

1028
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:25.360
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty in line with kind of what they believe. Yeah,

1029
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:26.639
<v Speaker 1>what they put out there.

1030
00:47:26.679 --> 00:47:29.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and you know it's it was April, yes,

1031
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:31.280
<v Speaker 2>but it was like forty four degrees in Arlington, So

1032
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:32.519
<v Speaker 2>how many people are you going to I mean they

1033
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:35.159
<v Speaker 2>were showing people that it looked like they were, you know,

1034
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Green Bay in a December playoff game or something. It

1035
00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:40.519
<v Speaker 2>was like it looked brutal there. I mean, obviously it

1036
00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:42.760
<v Speaker 2>wasn't snowing, but it was like really cold.

1037
00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Anything else of that. I'll pull up the last game

1038
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:47.039
<v Speaker 1>here and then what we should be a good time

1039
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:48.679
<v Speaker 1>here almost we'll get down the top of the I

1040
00:47:48.719 --> 00:47:50.320
<v Speaker 1>got a shower. We're gonna let me.

1041
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Say I'm sorry, let me say one positive thing. Yes,

1042
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:56.039
<v Speaker 2>when when when when Anthony Brown started to play that

1043
00:47:56.159 --> 00:47:59.559
<v Speaker 2>up tempo last drive, he that's when he looked comfortable

1044
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.840
<v Speaker 2>to me? For three and a half quarters he did not,

1045
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:04.719
<v Speaker 2>So maybe that's something that they really need to look

1046
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:07.360
<v Speaker 2>at and say, hey, yeah, this is let's let's maybe

1047
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:08.599
<v Speaker 2>try to do a little bit more of this.

1048
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Let me pull up I want to see. Well, I'll

1049
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:13.760
<v Speaker 1>pull it up here next time. Second I had it,

1050
00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I did have an email saved here. I was all

1051
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:18.800
<v Speaker 1>excited about and then maybe I deleted it already. Let's

1052
00:48:18.840 --> 00:48:21.840
<v Speaker 1>go here, so we finally get and I will be

1053
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:25.760
<v Speaker 1>curious the freaking TV ratings for this one when they

1054
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:28.800
<v Speaker 1>come out tomorrow. Yeah, the FS one that was delayed

1055
00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:31.039
<v Speaker 1>because of NASCAR, and it was on f S two

1056
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and I saw people like, well, we're no goody postgame

1057
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:38.559
<v Speaker 1>comments from the Racers because of the U I'm like, okay, okay, okay,

1058
00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:43.559
<v Speaker 1>BattleHawks two and zero here now you know, the Brahmise

1059
00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:46.159
<v Speaker 1>are my team. I have heard they are awful, not

1060
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:47.320
<v Speaker 1>looking great this year.

1061
00:48:48.320 --> 00:48:51.360
<v Speaker 2>What do you hear of this? That was? That is

1062
00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:55.199
<v Speaker 2>a again that you San Antonio is not the worst team,

1063
00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:58.480
<v Speaker 2>but this week, the snapshot of this week, Saint Louis

1064
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:02.880
<v Speaker 2>is the best team in the league. They are clicking

1065
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:07.360
<v Speaker 2>on all cylinders. Offensively, defensively. You know, our man Pat

1066
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Raffino had boots on the ground down there. He can

1067
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:12.760
<v Speaker 2>he could tell you more. But just you know, from

1068
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:16.039
<v Speaker 2>what I was watching on Sunday, it's like, I mean,

1069
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:18.719
<v Speaker 2>they were they were just out there, you know, doing work.

1070
00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:21.400
<v Speaker 2>And and a pro tip for you here, if you

1071
00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:25.039
<v Speaker 2>watch on the these Fox games on the Fox Sports app,

1072
00:49:26.199 --> 00:49:28.440
<v Speaker 2>you you can like there was a whole pre game

1073
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:30.480
<v Speaker 2>and everything on there. So I don't know if that

1074
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:32.719
<v Speaker 2>was the case, because there was about five minutes left

1075
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:35.159
<v Speaker 2>to go and like six twenty five Eastern time, and

1076
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:37.199
<v Speaker 2>I turn it on and there's five laps to go

1077
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:38.719
<v Speaker 2>in this race, and I'm like, well, this is obviously

1078
00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:40.679
<v Speaker 2>not going to start on time, and you had texted

1079
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:42.320
<v Speaker 2>me to tell like you were it was gonna be

1080
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:44.320
<v Speaker 2>on FS two. I just went to the app and

1081
00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:46.320
<v Speaker 2>it was like watching you know, the whole game. So

1082
00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I like, again, you know, I'm on this Manny Wilkins

1083
00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.800
<v Speaker 2>train of being such a dual threat and like a

1084
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:56.599
<v Speaker 2>model of efficiency when he's when he's playing. I don't

1085
00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:59.599
<v Speaker 2>know what's going on with san Antonio killing mind again.

1086
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:03.400
<v Speaker 2>It's not gelling with him again. It's only been two games.

1087
00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:05.679
<v Speaker 2>I think a J. Smith is still It's not like

1088
00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:08.039
<v Speaker 2>a J. Smith forgot how to coach or Wade Phillips

1089
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:11.199
<v Speaker 2>forgot how to coach. It's gonna come together. But when

1090
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:13.880
<v Speaker 2>you're you know, in a ten week season, Uh, you're

1091
00:50:13.880 --> 00:50:15.639
<v Speaker 2>a third all the way through here almost, so you've

1092
00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:17.039
<v Speaker 2>got to get to start to hear you're a fifth

1093
00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:17.760
<v Speaker 2>of the way right now.

1094
00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, I saw Pat, Yes, And and make sure

1095
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:24.559
<v Speaker 1>you check got past player of the Week article right

1096
00:50:24.599 --> 00:50:27.000
<v Speaker 1>now on All Football dot com. And then Pat is

1097
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:29.599
<v Speaker 1>going to have his quarterback excuse me video coming out.

1098
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he said tomorrow when you posted that stuff

1099
00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:34.960
<v Speaker 1>on there. Oh and then the other thing was that

1100
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:38.119
<v Speaker 1>posted a comment in our chat. I think it was

1101
00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:40.639
<v Speaker 1>Wade Phillips and his wife like hanging out on the

1102
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:43.599
<v Speaker 1>sidelines before the game. Wade, maybe you should be coaching

1103
00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:48.719
<v Speaker 1>up your guys. Okay, maybe maybe you know, maybe we

1104
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:51.360
<v Speaker 1>can take him out there. Uh, chop, got salt. Santo's

1105
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:53.880
<v Speaker 1>problem is on line Monde time. Dude, I can't really

1106
00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:56.760
<v Speaker 1>evaluate him, and I agree with you. I have heard,

1107
00:50:56.880 --> 00:50:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, Nanny Wilkins. I think Sath a friend. You know,

1108
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:02.519
<v Speaker 1>everyone knows Sath. You know s had lessons. I think

1109
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:05.920
<v Speaker 1>he calls them the Jane Daniels of the UFL. Now,

1110
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:08.679
<v Speaker 1>obviously where commander stands and all that, But yeah, is

1111
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:11.320
<v Speaker 1>this I don't know. I don't know what what the

1112
00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Brahmas do here right and and let's uh well, I

1113
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:15.760
<v Speaker 1>guess any other thoughts on that because I want to

1114
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:17.519
<v Speaker 1>pull up something here and have a discussion.

1115
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, you know what, what what do they

1116
00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:22.079
<v Speaker 2>do right now? I don't think you benched mine. I mean,

1117
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:26.119
<v Speaker 2>as you know the commenter said there, it's like it's

1118
00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:29.079
<v Speaker 2>an O line problem. And you know what, let's get

1119
00:51:29.079 --> 00:51:30.920
<v Speaker 2>a ground game and give him some time, get some

1120
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:32.960
<v Speaker 2>blocking in there, because it's hard, it is hard to

1121
00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:35.639
<v Speaker 2>evaluate him. But I still think like something's just not

1122
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:36.400
<v Speaker 2>geling yet.

1123
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:40.199
<v Speaker 1>Last thing here I want to look at just as

1124
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Stanley's real quick John, if you look at USh got

1125
00:51:42.800 --> 00:51:47.599
<v Speaker 1>six wins from the XSL shot and two. I was

1126
00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:53.000
<v Speaker 1>like interesting here, But no, I mean San Antonio looks

1127
00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:55.599
<v Speaker 1>really bad, right, Roughnecks look really bad?

1128
00:51:55.880 --> 00:51:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1129
00:51:56.239 --> 00:51:58.119
<v Speaker 1>You say Showboats are on the rise? How do you

1130
00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:00.960
<v Speaker 1>feel there? Snapshot? I mean eighteen and it's hard, and

1131
00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you know this is impossible, and even the CFL we

1132
00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:05.280
<v Speaker 1>do all this stuff and power ranks and everything, and

1133
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:07.280
<v Speaker 1>we have to do all that. But just you know,

1134
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you got three pretty good teams in the XFL. I

1135
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:12.039
<v Speaker 1>think you have one really good team in the USFL.

1136
00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:12.559
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a couple?

1137
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:14.159
<v Speaker 1>How do you kind of feel about these eight?

1138
00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I mean don't let's let's let's not count out

1139
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:19.840
<v Speaker 2>the Panthers yet. I that you know, it's we're two

1140
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:22.679
<v Speaker 2>weeks in. Uh, I mean you can we counted out

1141
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:25.119
<v Speaker 2>the Roughnecks before the season started, and so far we're

1142
00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:28.400
<v Speaker 2>on track for that. Show Boats on the rise still,

1143
00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:30.840
<v Speaker 2>But doesn't it feel like, you know, I don't want

1144
00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:33.880
<v Speaker 2>to go against skip Holtz, I mean, why would you? Again?

1145
00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:36.719
<v Speaker 2>But doesn't it feel like the UFL champion is going

1146
00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:38.199
<v Speaker 2>to come out of the XFL conference.

1147
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I was, I was reading this email and you weren't.

1148
00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Listening to me. It's like, you know, I'm no, I

1149
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:50.199
<v Speaker 2>just it just feels like the UFL champion is going

1150
00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:51.800
<v Speaker 2>to come out of the out of the out of

1151
00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the XFL conference.

1152
00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:57.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, ast Birmingham how they can right.

1153
00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.800
<v Speaker 2>It just it just feels like Birmingham. Again, I'm not

1154
00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:03.400
<v Speaker 2>counting out the Panthers, but it feels like Birmingham is

1155
00:53:03.400 --> 00:53:06.519
<v Speaker 2>going to be the USFL conference, you know, champion, and

1156
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:08.639
<v Speaker 2>one of those three teams out of there in the

1157
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:10.199
<v Speaker 2>XFL is going to be the other one and the

1158
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:12.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, not the Brahmas. But it feels like and

1159
00:53:12.840 --> 00:53:15.960
<v Speaker 2>they'll be the champion two weeks in.

1160
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh sorry, you're my internet glitzer for me. Yeah, I

1161
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:21.199
<v Speaker 1>agree with that. Let's a couple of just comments here

1162
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and then I have this say I was listening. I was,

1163
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I was screenshotting one of the things I h Scott

1164
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:27.920
<v Speaker 1>here on Twitter, Scott back to the coach back to

1165
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:31.280
<v Speaker 1>has really improved as a head coach. Chop Here says,

1166
00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:33.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what, the team that looks bad on the

1167
00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:37.719
<v Speaker 1>field is roughnecks l conference is embarrassing, but it's very

1168
00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:39.679
<v Speaker 1>similar last year. I mean, you have a lot of this.

1169
00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I David, longtime listener, loveles sleep with the quality of play.

1170
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:46.000
<v Speaker 1>It's been trash and a Jenna is checking in here

1171
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:48.719
<v Speaker 1>one thing before my little ramp before we get out.

1172
00:53:48.800 --> 00:53:51.679
<v Speaker 1>And what was interesting to me is we've been talking

1173
00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:54.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot about the kickoff, right and obviously you know,

1174
00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:56.880
<v Speaker 1>we've had the whole thing and they didn't do the

1175
00:53:56.960 --> 00:54:00.639
<v Speaker 1>kickoff and then whatever is now we're doing the kickoff right? Well,

1176
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:03.320
<v Speaker 1>fourth and long here who's a longtime friend of the show,

1177
00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:05.159
<v Speaker 1>and it is written in he does.

1178
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Makes some great comments on here all the time.

1179
00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:11.199
<v Speaker 1>And I will say this, I read everything. I don't

1180
00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:14.800
<v Speaker 1>respond to hardly anything, but I read every single YouTube comment.

1181
00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I read every I read. I just don't respond anything,

1182
00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:19.199
<v Speaker 1>but I read it all. So fourth and line big

1183
00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:21.039
<v Speaker 1>in anyone that writes in, I just don't have the

1184
00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:23.719
<v Speaker 1>time at the moment. Uh, there's more than this. But

1185
00:54:23.800 --> 00:54:25.719
<v Speaker 1>you know he's talking about the kickoff, right and how

1186
00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you know we talked a lot about how spoiler alert

1187
00:54:28.360 --> 00:54:30.719
<v Speaker 1>the you you know, the kickoff they used last year

1188
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:33.760
<v Speaker 1>artificially inflated field position because it kicks so far back

1189
00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and all this we know, so like, is this you know,

1190
00:54:39.239 --> 00:54:41.639
<v Speaker 1>offenses down and first down to kind of all the

1191
00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:44.440
<v Speaker 1>is it related to that? John? Have we now should

1192
00:54:44.599 --> 00:54:48.079
<v Speaker 1>should the UFL be using the NFL kickoff? Yeah?

1193
00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:49.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm not ready to go ahead and just throw out

1194
00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the rule book just yet, but I mean there's some

1195
00:54:52.039 --> 00:54:56.519
<v Speaker 2>really good points in in here for sure. Yeah. Let's

1196
00:54:56.679 --> 00:54:59.280
<v Speaker 2>let's let's let's let's let the cake bake a little

1197
00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:01.039
<v Speaker 2>bit here before we start throwing things out.

1198
00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:04.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, last thing for me today and we'll figure

1199
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:07.519
<v Speaker 1>out where this is going. I had the interactions over

1200
00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:11.039
<v Speaker 1>the weekend with the league. We're uh, this is my

1201
00:55:11.159 --> 00:55:12.920
<v Speaker 1>life and this is read rant. Now, John, do you

1202
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:14.800
<v Speaker 1>have any other football thoughts? I guess before we get

1203
00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to the rant, because we'll get up.

1204
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:17.639
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, go ahead, go ahead.

1205
00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:22.039
<v Speaker 1>Crazy busy week for me. Flew across the country, flew back,

1206
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:25.639
<v Speaker 1>worked to the Amazon. I wake up Saturday morning. I

1207
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:27.760
<v Speaker 1>have an hour to build the thumbnail for John and

1208
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I to do the show. I have an email from

1209
00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:32.760
<v Speaker 1>one of the teams, and I see photos to use,

1210
00:55:32.760 --> 00:55:35.719
<v Speaker 1>and I see some photos uploaded to the media drive,

1211
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:38.519
<v Speaker 1>and so I look for other teams. I don't see

1212
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:40.880
<v Speaker 1>any other team photos up there. So I email the league.

1213
00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I go, hey, this is great, Like, are we going

1214
00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:46.039
<v Speaker 1>to get more photos or other teams? It? Really I

1215
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:47.519
<v Speaker 1>don't want to throw you guys. I'm not trying to

1216
00:55:47.559 --> 00:55:50.519
<v Speaker 1>throw any specific teams under the bus. I go, we

1217
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:52.920
<v Speaker 1>only have one of eight team's photos, so can we

1218
00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:55.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of get that going. Well, what I hear back

1219
00:55:55.519 --> 00:55:57.960
<v Speaker 1>is well, actually no, you're not allowed to use any

1220
00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and that everything from the league is going supposedly. I'm

1221
00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:04.880
<v Speaker 1>waiting on clarification going through Getty Imaging now, which if

1222
00:56:04.880 --> 00:56:07.719
<v Speaker 1>you're someone that writes about this league that uses photos

1223
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:11.960
<v Speaker 1>in your articles, unless you're physically going to the games,

1224
00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:14.199
<v Speaker 1>to me, that is an issue and something that is

1225
00:56:14.239 --> 00:56:17.480
<v Speaker 1>counterintuitive to the content creators that are working on this.

1226
00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:20.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to get more clarification. I followed up again

1227
00:56:20.559 --> 00:56:22.239
<v Speaker 1>today because like I said, it's not just for me.

1228
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:24.119
<v Speaker 1>It's for the people that work on our side and

1229
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:27.360
<v Speaker 1>other sites. But to me, it just it speaks to

1230
00:56:27.559 --> 00:56:30.400
<v Speaker 1>like I was and I was gonna do my rant

1231
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:33.840
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday online, but it just speaks to like eight number,

1232
00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:36.360
<v Speaker 1>like reason eight hundred and sixty two. Why like the

1233
00:56:36.480 --> 00:56:39.440
<v Speaker 1>UFL doesn't understand who is who is covering these leagues,

1234
00:56:39.639 --> 00:56:41.920
<v Speaker 1>because for those who don't know, to license a single

1235
00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Getty image, I think is John and I looked it

1236
00:56:44.079 --> 00:56:45.760
<v Speaker 1>up as three hundred and three hundred and fifty bucks

1237
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:52.039
<v Speaker 1>from medium Sized Image. So I have concerns, and if

1238
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:56.000
<v Speaker 1>my concerns aren't alleviated, I might be dialing out of

1239
00:56:56.079 --> 00:57:00.199
<v Speaker 1>doing the podcast. We'll see, but I'm very frustrated right

1240
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:04.719
<v Speaker 1>now by by the league continuing to seemingly minimize independent

1241
00:57:04.760 --> 00:57:07.159
<v Speaker 1>content creators, because this doesn't just affect us.

1242
00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:12.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, it's when we touched on it earlier,

1243
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:15.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, the independent media, like, you know, the things

1244
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:17.840
<v Speaker 2>we do. We're not making a ton of money on this.

1245
00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:21.320
<v Speaker 2>We're not making any money on this. We do it

1246
00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:23.880
<v Speaker 2>because we love the league. We do it because it's

1247
00:57:24.519 --> 00:57:27.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of a community that we're in, and I don't

1248
00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:34.639
<v Speaker 2>understand why anyone would try to put obstacles into that. Now,

1249
00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:37.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, if we were making like one thousand dollars,

1250
00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:40.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, and doing all this, you know, every time

1251
00:57:40.519 --> 00:57:43.559
<v Speaker 2>we posted an article or did anything or posted a video,

1252
00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:47.280
<v Speaker 2>and then maybe I could see like, well, the UFL

1253
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:48.800
<v Speaker 2>saying you're not going to use us just to make

1254
00:57:48.880 --> 00:57:50.360
<v Speaker 2>money and then you know, say what you want to

1255
00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:55.199
<v Speaker 2>say about us. Whatever you know. I've had there have

1256
00:57:55.199 --> 00:57:57.000
<v Speaker 2>been times where I've reached out to the league and

1257
00:57:57.119 --> 00:57:59.039
<v Speaker 2>didn't hear anything back. There have been other times where

1258
00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I've reached out to the league, had an email directly back.

1259
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:06.239
<v Speaker 2>There are each and what some people might not know

1260
00:58:06.400 --> 00:58:10.239
<v Speaker 2>is every team has a different PR person and I've had,

1261
00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:13.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, mixed results. The good results that I've had

1262
00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:17.039
<v Speaker 2>have been great, that some are super responsive, and you know,

1263
00:58:18.159 --> 00:58:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I just don't understand why a league would want to

1264
00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:24.239
<v Speaker 2>put obstacles not just for us, but for for any

1265
00:58:24.320 --> 00:58:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, everybody watching this knows that there are several

1266
00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:30.239
<v Speaker 2>other outlets who do who do the same thing.

1267
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:35.000
<v Speaker 1>It affects everyone the newsroom and if ufl board was

1268
00:58:35.039 --> 00:58:39.480
<v Speaker 1>still here, it affects the Football network people. Yes you're

1269
00:58:39.519 --> 00:58:45.239
<v Speaker 1>welcome for that name, but you know, like I mean, okay,

1270
00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:48.159
<v Speaker 1>but but it affects everybody. And and so that is

1271
00:58:48.239 --> 00:58:51.679
<v Speaker 1>my concern is if we're content creators working on this,

1272
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and and yeah, you you need to go through getting

1273
00:58:54.480 --> 00:58:58.199
<v Speaker 1>the license. I've had to pay images before because the

1274
00:58:58.239 --> 00:59:01.519
<v Speaker 1>people and we didn't, you know, for no fault of

1275
00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:03.760
<v Speaker 1>any I mean just my fault. I mean, you know,

1276
00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:06.880
<v Speaker 1>but it's fine. I just I don't I'm not going

1277
00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:09.039
<v Speaker 1>to pay three hundred and fifty dollars in image to

1278
00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:12.079
<v Speaker 1>write about the rough Necks Renegades game from Sunday or

1279
00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to post about it, or to make it like I'm

1280
00:59:13.840 --> 00:59:15.960
<v Speaker 1>just I can't do that. I can't do that. So

1281
00:59:16.360 --> 00:59:21.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll see. I emailed again today. The leagues seemingly just

1282
00:59:21.239 --> 00:59:25.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of ignores problems, so that's goose. Also, my frustrations,

1283
00:59:25.880 --> 00:59:28.760
<v Speaker 1>like with the attendance and everything else, is if we're

1284
00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the point where it's well what we say is that's

1285
00:59:32.079 --> 00:59:34.920
<v Speaker 1>just it, okay, Well then I might step aside. So

1286
00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:37.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll see. I'm going to Orlando this week. Maybe the

1287
00:59:37.719 --> 00:59:41.159
<v Speaker 1>sunshine will make me feel better, but we'll see. I'm

1288
00:59:41.239 --> 00:59:44.119
<v Speaker 1>kind of TVD. I'm really annoyed, and people that know

1289
00:59:44.199 --> 00:59:47.119
<v Speaker 1>me a long time. I've been sitting on this once Saturday,

1290
00:59:47.159 --> 00:59:48.199
<v Speaker 1>so I'm kind of working through it.

1291
00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:51.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, like, for instance, my plan is to

1292
00:59:51.639 --> 00:59:53.920
<v Speaker 2>go to Memphis. I mean, who doesn't want to see

1293
00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:56.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, show boats and Roughnecks. But you know, my

1294
00:59:56.519 --> 00:59:59.960
<v Speaker 2>plan is to go to Memphis this weekend. Immediately you know,

1295
01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:03.239
<v Speaker 2>I put in for credentials. Let the PR guy down there,

1296
01:00:03.320 --> 01:00:05.599
<v Speaker 2>know Andy, who has been awesome to work with. I

1297
01:00:05.599 --> 01:00:09.159
<v Speaker 2>mean he's great. But yeah, I mean I'm not getting

1298
01:00:09.199 --> 01:00:11.000
<v Speaker 2>paid to do that. I'm paying to do that, and

1299
01:00:11.039 --> 01:00:14.039
<v Speaker 2>it's my own money. So because I want to. I mean,

1300
01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, we as someone who is you know, gonna

1301
01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:21.159
<v Speaker 2>be turned fifty four this year. I remember, you know

1302
01:00:21.320 --> 01:00:24.239
<v Speaker 2>how these leagues sprout, you know, sprout up and then

1303
01:00:24.280 --> 01:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>they die, and it's like, you know, I don't want

1304
01:00:26.320 --> 01:00:28.119
<v Speaker 2>that for the UFL, but I'm going to take advantage

1305
01:00:28.159 --> 01:00:29.800
<v Speaker 2>to try to see a lot of these games as

1306
01:00:29.880 --> 01:00:32.480
<v Speaker 2>much as I can in person. Uh but yeah, I

1307
01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:35.039
<v Speaker 2>just I just really wish that there was a, as

1308
01:00:35.079 --> 01:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I said earlier, a round table for the league to

1309
01:00:39.039 --> 01:00:42.480
<v Speaker 2>listen to fans and have like a true listening session

1310
01:00:43.079 --> 01:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>again for fans for independent media, you know, listen whatever

1311
01:00:48.599 --> 01:00:52.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, whatever your politics are. And this is not political.

1312
01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:56.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying, like we we have seen how influential

1313
01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:02.360
<v Speaker 2>like the non mainstream legacy media has been, you know, politically,

1314
01:01:03.119 --> 01:01:05.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not putting ourselves to that level. I mean, this

1315
01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:07.320
<v Speaker 2>is We're not the Joe Rogan Show here or whatever.

1316
01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:09.800
<v Speaker 2>But our pod Save America. But what we are is

1317
01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>like independent media who like we just want to tell

1318
01:01:13.039 --> 01:01:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the story of the league. That that is when I

1319
01:01:15.079 --> 01:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>started doing the YouTube and started to do you know,

1320
01:01:18.239 --> 01:01:20.400
<v Speaker 2>any of the content, and then you know, joined you

1321
01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:21.920
<v Speaker 2>it's like, I just want to tell the stories of

1322
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:23.519
<v Speaker 2>some of these players and some of these teams and

1323
01:01:23.599 --> 01:01:26.239
<v Speaker 2>some of these leagues, and you know, for obstacles to

1324
01:01:26.239 --> 01:01:27.679
<v Speaker 2>be put in the way is kind of confusing.

1325
01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, last thing for me, I just what was I've

1326
01:01:34.400 --> 01:01:36.079
<v Speaker 1>totally even last night train of thought on all this.

1327
01:01:36.280 --> 01:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah they hear, this is good. Yeah, there's seventing number

1328
01:01:38.280 --> 01:01:40.159
<v Speaker 1>of dollars the bigod times. Oh that's what I was

1329
01:01:40.199 --> 01:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna say. And then we'll get out of here because

1330
01:01:41.880 --> 01:01:45.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm just rambling, like I come on here and I'm

1331
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:48.599
<v Speaker 1>like I am a normal person in my everyday life,

1332
01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and like I run the business. So like I've emailed

1333
01:01:51.039 --> 01:01:54.039
<v Speaker 1>and explained like hey, you know, did you know that

1334
01:01:54.159 --> 01:01:56.079
<v Speaker 1>this is why and this is what it costs and

1335
01:01:56.079 --> 01:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>these are alternatives and this is like you know, this

1336
01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:00.519
<v Speaker 1>is not just me being I'm sure, what are you like?

1339
01:02:03.840 --> 01:02:06.199
<v Speaker 1>affects everybody and I get tired of that. I was

1340
01:02:06.239 --> 01:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the one that advocated for fans to go or for

1341
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>the independent media, one of many to go be able

1342
01:02:11.679 --> 01:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to cover the games. And then people got to cover

1343
01:02:13.440 --> 01:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>the games. And then I go Reid's complained, and I go, well,
