Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Kyle, what do you think about all this at tom
p put out last night.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
I think the piece is incredible. I actually read it
this morning.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
I learned a lot of things this morning that I
haven't known in the last six weeks of talking about
this draft and the Brian Brohm part of it was
just one fun little detail. I'm in my feelings about
this right now. Maybe it's because the draft is tomorrow.
Bring up the quote, bring it up. The worst formul
than I've ever been in my life. He's so entireled
horrible body. He's not shut up, anonymous coach. I'm so
triggered as shut up. This is not only anonymous.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
I think it's tasteless.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
I think the timing is ridiculous. The worst formal interview
I've ever is it really?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Is it? Or are you just going for a headline?

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Or maybe have you not been in that many interviews
in your career this is the worst one ever. Or
maybe maybe the vibe that you set in the room
was critical and Shador picked up on that, and maybe
he was right because the first second you could you
betrayed the sanctity of that room and went anonymously and
started spouting off about this player. He's so entitled. I

(01:26):
see entitlement in a grown professional who was going around
anonymously destroying young athletes with very personal quotes, anonymously as
they're about to realize their dream and become professionals.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Do not listen to that quote.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
That quote is bukrap, it's news, it's worthy.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
I hate that quote. Listen to Shador's.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Teammates who kept picking him up over and over as
he got the crap kicked out of him last year,
who don't have negative things to say about him, who
know him, who have been in rooms with him, don't
listen to this.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
He says he's not that good.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Well, maybe neither are you, anonymous coach, and maybe that's
why you're an assistant coach and not a head coach,
and you have been for a long time. I am
so triggered by this. I think it's nonsense. I love
the piece it's getting us talking. It's part of the
Shandur experience. But that anonymous, that personal and that critical
at this timing is garbage. Welcome back to Good Morning Football,
to day after Round one, we are excited for the

(02:20):
second round, the third round. We will be talking all
about that all day and all weekend an NFL network.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
So many views on the draft.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
My view is incredibly unique because it came from up
there physically. I was fifteen hundred feet above the ground
here in Green Bay because just a matter of days ago,
I was invited by the Wisconsin National Guard, the US
Army to be part of the flyover.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
You've seen these before year sports fans.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
They fly the aircraft right over the stadium before the
Super Bowl, the game, or in this.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Case, the draft.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
And sure enough I got on a Blackhawk helicopter like
you've seen in the movies, and I was part of
this incredible, incredible experience that I will never ever forget.
I have questions, I have takes, I have all the
movie references, but more and so I have respect for everyone.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I flew up there with here's a look, all.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Right, so this is our this is our aircraft, and
that stuff starts a McCracken.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
He's going to take me through the safety protocols.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
I'm sixty percent excited, forty percent nervous, and I think
that's healthy.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
It's almost got time. I'm learning this down here.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
This is for the power, this is for steering, and
there's also pedals.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
I'm looking for the aux cable. Fuck he's play fortunate son,
but I haven't found it yet. But I'm so excited.
This is not my job up here. I'll be in
the back of my iPhone lholl okay, back in the ground, exhilarating.
I loved it. I had three fears. Number three, I
was gonna drop my phone.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Number two, I was gonna fall out, And number one,
the fares were going to make a terrible draft pick.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
The whole time. I was worried about that. But we're back.
We did it well.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Two of those fears did not come true. We will
see how the draft pick went with the Bear's new
tight end. But I just have to say again, I've
never ritten in the helicopter ever and any sort of
vacation or adventure or anything, and I was in very
good hands.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
I was scared, though, I'm sitting here on the.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Very edge of this thing, and I was part of
like the I'm gonna get all the terminology wrong, but
basically the mission briefing when we go into this room
and there's a very detailed meeting about the flyover, the
flyover which they had rehearsed the day before and also
had a meeting, and they set this very specific plan.
We're going to ascend to fifteen hundred and we're gonna
drop to thirteen fifty to get in diamond formation, then

(04:32):
we'll drop to five hundred to cross Lambeau. It was
all so specific. I felt like I learned so much.
I feel like just so so so grateful, and I
know you guys have questions, but it was awesome, and
thank you so much, especially Staff Sergeant Ryan McCracken, who
took me through the safety protocol and was.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
In charge of taking care of me. It was awesome.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
It's Sargean McCracken. Is gonna be okay that you just
revealed all details of the missions?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Is that okay? Because it's over.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Now that the mission's over. I did not give away
the classified intel of the operation now that it's over,
But next year's draft would be a whole different criteria time.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I didn't blow it. Thank god.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Did you feel like you were in a football meeting
that you were You should have been into, Like we're
gonna run this diamond formation and this guy's gonna come
out of the backfield. Kyle, you looked the part so
like I think you should not have been fearful.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
I am.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I am alarmed that the door was wide open the
entire time.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
There's a way to fly with it closed. It's much
warmer that way, and it's much safer. But I also
had the money set, Like I'm sitting there, We're at
fifteen hundred, so you said leave the door open.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, I want the door open. I wanted the real experience. Listen.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Of course, I'm having all these Apocalypse Now vibes, and
I'm in Diehard going through Knaka Toomi.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
But at the same time, I cannot.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Tell you the precision and the details with which these
men and women work. I watched a thousand flyovers we
all have. I didn't know how you time.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Up the aircraft, the stealth bomb or whatever it is,
to just the crescendo of the national anthem. It's not luck.
The way it is is timing exact.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
They are in cahoots with the people on the ground
who are saying start the national anthem.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Now.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
They have timed it whatever it is, ninety seconds, and
the people in the helicopter, the soldiers have orders to
flyover ats Lambo at exactly six forty five pm.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
And they rehearsed at the day before because we were
doing the Insiders up in the press Pluch. All of
a sudden, four black Hawk helicopters come flying in formation.
I was like, what, oh, this must be exactly when
they're doing it tomorrow, when the conditions.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
They do it and they win.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
And then the rehearsal they had they were five seconds late,
five seconds later. It was six forty five oh five,
and they were mad about that and they're like, that's
why we rehearse. We have to hit it perfectly, so
there's no signal, there's no speed up, speed down. It
is just immaculate timing with the singer and with the
production on the ground and with the military. And they
absolutely laced it last night and there were some high

(06:41):
fives effort.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Well, this also feels like a PSA to anyone who
wants to sing a national anthem that if you try
to add a couple of vowels onto the and the
extra run, no, yeah, you do it how you rehearse it,
because you're gonna mess with those choppers and we're not
trying to mess around with us.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Not just Francis Scott Key, You're disrespectful. It is all
the people up there.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
And listen, if you've been in the military, fat in
your actions with the military, you walk away unbelievably thing thankful,
but just I'm wildly impressed. The detailed, the precision, the organization.
There's a heavy side to it too. When you walk
through the safety protocols of a black Hawk helicopter, you
won't believe some of the things that they tell you,
things like this is the fire extinguisher. You should know
where it is. You don't use it to put out

(07:19):
the aircraft. Use it to put out someone who is
on the aircraft as quickly as.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
You can and get them away. There is an axe.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
If you need an axe to get out of it
should in the event of a crash.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Like all that stuff is thought of.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Some of it is very dark and very morbid, but
they walked me through all of it anyway, and it
was very successful.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
There was a life memory for me.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
I again want to thank the Wisconsin National Guard and
everybody on our team, including Becky who set that up.
Just an amazing, amazing part of this incredible draft, and
thank you for letting me be part of it. I
think the winner of the draft is Jaguars, and I'm
talking about from the night one.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
And I'm thrilled to say that.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
First of all, once the last time we had a
Jaguars draft conversation that wasn't about the number one overall pick,
they made the move. They went into the night and said,
we are getting Travis Hunter, and I don't care what
we're going to have.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
To pay for it.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
They got the most interesting player in the draft.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
The guy will be the most popular player.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
In the draft, not to mention, likely the best player
in the draft, and certainly the most versatile player in
the draft.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
That is an instant star, That is an instant ticket.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Spike Jersey Spike, all that stuff aside from how good
he is as a player. As to the price that
they paid, let me tell you how little I care
what they gave the Cleveland Browns. If I haven't done
this routine yet this year, I'll do it now.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
I hate draft picks.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
They're pixie dust, They're lottery scratchers.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Most of them amount to nothing.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
A large majority of them amount to mistakes made. There
is no assurance that either the Browns, as if we
trust them implicitly are going to nail those draft picks,
or that the Jaguars would have if they kept them.
I like a team that has conviction in a guy.
They came in with a new coach and a new
era and said, that's our guy. I'll give you ten

(08:58):
first round picks. I'm leaving here with Travis Hunter. I
respect that, and I like that, and I also think
that a logic to it. Their first round pick this
year is Travis Hunter, the wide receiver. Their first round
pick next year is Travis Hunter, the cornerback.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
They got two players. You can have the pick, Browns.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
We already picked two guys with one pick, so go
ahead and get it.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
And it's just I've seen all the takes. Travis Hunter
is a nice player.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
The Jaguars are crazy now, the Jaguars are bold. You
want to just sit back and be the Jaguars for
the next five years. And eventually Drevor Lawrence kind of
didn't work out, and we're six and eleven this year,
and blah blah.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Break the cycle. Stop.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
You have to do something really emphatic and maybe even
conventionally irresponsible to break the cycle. I think they broke
the cycle last night. I think they got the best
player in the draft. I don't give a damn what
they paid.
