Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good afternoon, Warrensville Height Elementary. This is Principal Shelby Harris, principal. Man,
I'll tell you I like the name man, Principal Harris,
rocking about you getta raise. I'm the new principal on principal.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hairs Principal Harris. Let's always ring to it.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I mean, can we uh?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Is that like a nickname we can throw out there
on the field as well?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Shelby, that's the future, baby, that's the usually I always
tell people when my mom was a teacher. So for me,
that's just you know, that's in the blood.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Do did you sing for them? Because because you you
have a lot of futures, right, you want to be
a broadcast, you want to be a singer, you want
to be a principal. I mean, man, you got a
family of it's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Man. Yeah. Man, you know, I gotta keep myself busy
once I get on to that next chapter of my life.
So I gotta keep yourself busy. I gotta keep you
to keep you know, all the time that you have
that you spend doing football and stuff. Now after you retire,
you gotta keep all you gotta spend that time doing
other stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Shelby, what's up Nate Jackson here? I got a question
about what it's like for a defensive player. And I
know you guys are having, you know, a quarterback change.
Perhaps we don't know what's going on, But what's it
like for a defensive player in those locker rooms when
you're going through a quarterback change, when there's chatter about that,
you see it in the media. Does that affect the
way you guys handle business at all?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
You know, because you're not think of it like this.
Like I've been a part obviously been in Denver those
years when we've really struggling on offense and you know,
going back and forth with who's going to be a quarterback?
And then you know, I've been around a couple of
different position battles, like quarterback battles. And the one thing
that it just if you're already thinking of doing a change,
(01:43):
it's already tough on the defense. Why is that? You know?
I mean like, because that obviously means that they're not scoring,
they're not doing what they're supposed to be. That's why
you're even thinking of changing in the first place.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So that's why I'm saying I was like, it makes
it it's already means that a tough road for the defense.
But I always say that, like, you know, we we
we've been on this kick about complimentary football and about
you know, every phase of the game setting each other up.
And I think that's kind of more of what you're
going to be looking for than anything. It's who can
(02:17):
compliment if the defense is playing well? Who can compliment
your defense? If I turn the ball over? Who can
be you know, the best such season player where you know,
we don't get a punter turn for a touchdown, you know,
complimentary football just like how just like you said, we
get stopped from defenses and then we pulled from the punt.
That complimentary football and is just doing those little things
(02:39):
is really what it's going to take, no matter who
the quarterback is, in order to win.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
You know, Shelby, I watched this game against the Lions
this last week, and you know, I think the final
score is not really indicative of how well your defense played.
I mean, you gave up only two hundred and seventy
seven yards to one of the best offenses in the game.
I mean they average four point nine yards, and again
they're super explosive. But you talk about complimentary football, and
(03:05):
I think that's perfectly sums up that game because it
kind of got away from you because of some bad situations,
special teams and otherwise. But man, I a podcast today
that they're going on and on about how great your
defense looks.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, it's just you know, that's the issue, though, is
no matter how good your defense plays. You know, we
go multiple interceptions and then you have a punt return
for a touchdown, the percentages and the probabilities are not
in your favor. You know, we always talk about the
percentages of winning a game when you're plucked in a
turnover margin, But then imagine when your minus two plus
(03:39):
and I would have punp returned. So you know, that's
what you know, that's why we keep harping this complimenting
football team because it's going to take every side of
the ball to do it right in order to win.
That shows you how hard it is to win in
the NFL. And so that's why in the grand scheme
of things, is great when you know people say, oh,
defense wins champions says that's not true. You need everybody, all.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Right, You guys are headed to London now, right, man,
you're going there. Why do you guys set it out
because you're playing the Minnesota Vikings seven thirty am here.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But talk a.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Little bit about that trip. What's the schedule, Like what
are the challenges on your body as a player when
you go overseas to play a game.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So we'll leave Wednesday night, like we'll leave tomorrow. We'll
have a full day here and then we'll leave tomorrow
and get there Thursday morning technically. And then the hard
part of the part, obviously about any time you go
overseas is the jet lag. Because we're land in London
at around seven am, which will be I think one
(04:43):
am Cleveland time, So it's that right there, you're already
behind the ball just trying to catch up with the
jet lag and trying to make sure you hydrated because
then pretty much what you have to do when you
go there, you have to go right into it, because
the wonder they say about jet lag is like you
pretty much have to go into their day like as
a normal day. You can't go and just take a nap. Yeah,
(05:06):
So that's the thing. So we get this seven and then
we go straight in the meeting like we're going to
go straight into like mobility and meetings and stuff. You're
gonna have a full day and then you got to
have to like you're gonna be tailing off at the end.
But I guess the struggles that come with traveling and
doing these overseas games. And I've said this before. I've
said this before on the podcast from girla Sports. I've
said this before on multiple instances. If we're going to
(05:29):
invest in this idea of international games, there needs to
be international facilities over there for these teams. There needs
to be international facilities where we can go get the
recovery and get all the stuff that we get we're
at home. Because obviously the NFL is going full flat,
like going full on, which its international games where the
international game. So now it's time to make the real
(05:51):
investment in it and put these facilities there for players
to get the best care when they're actually in these
different countries.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
So what are you able to not able to get
when you're there that you get here?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Well, And that thing was like you know, a topic
of teacher, You got to find your own different type
of stretchers. You got to find that type of stuff.
But you don't get your cryos like every every facility
is different. In the NFL, you know a lot of
a lot of them. Know, you have the saunas, your
fem rooms, you have cryo cryo therapy, you have hyperbaric chambers,
you have red light beds where it helps you get
rid of information. You know, you have you have float
(06:25):
tanks to help you get rid of information. It's like
every facility has all these different modalities that help you
really get ready for Sunday. And so think of it
like this. For a team like the Vikings who are
coming from Ireland and already over in London, they're there
for a week, They're going two weeks without their modalities
and their recovery modalities and they're just going out there
(06:47):
and just playing. So that right there is the issue,
don't you. If we're going to have these games overseas,
you want to put the best product out there and
then and to be able to be able to put
the best product out there is to have your body
feeling the best possible, you know, feeling the best it
can when you're overseas.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, I guess. Rodger Goodell said the other day he
wants to have sixteen international games every year. He wants
it to be basically every single week. So that is coming.
You're absolutely right, that is coming. Then the facilities are
going to be part of it. I don't know if
you caught any of the game last night, but I
just wanted to sort of chat with you for a
moment about when a game is that lip side and
sometimes that does happen. How much fun is that on
(07:25):
the defensive side of the ball when the offense is
kind of doing what they're doing and you guys get
a chance to just basically play free.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, I thought the whole game, and I'm gonna tell you,
on the defensive side the ball for both sides, and
so being on the defensive side of the ball like
the Broncos, that's great because you have a quarterback back
there that doesn't even though he's out rookery or anything
like that, doesn't have the most experience. You know, they're
kind of dumbing down the offense room, so he might
hold the ball more time to go hunt, time to
(07:55):
go do those sacks, time to go make those plays
and show your work right, fuss in time and those
are the times you like when you know a team
has no rhythm, like we saw that game today, Cincinnaty
looked terrible and and that's not I'm not mincing words
at all. They looked terrible. They didn't even look like
they really even wanted to be there. And that's perfect
for the Broncos. They went out there and they and
(08:16):
and they handled them. Now on the other side of
the ball, though, that could be the longest day of
your life because literally like and then creditor Sean Dayton,
then first hundred yard rusher and his Broncos senior with JK. Dobbins.
But that's a long day because that just shows it.
Literally like I had be played with five yards five yards.
(08:36):
It's just a war on them. And you could just
tell that Cincinnati team was mentally beaten by the end
of the game.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
So you know, you follow the NFL at large, Shelby
and the Buffalo Bills are four and oh the Eagles
are four and oh. Do you think those are the
two best teams in the NFL? Any any other competitors
you think are kind of making a surge early at
the quarter pole?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Well, I don't see. This is the crazy thing about
this year. I don't think you can necessarily go off
for records just because we've had a lot of good
matchups early in the year, and I know everyone's worried,
like it's Baltimore really a one in three team, It's
Houston really a one in three team? Are the drags
of three and one team? You know? I mean like
(09:19):
that's type of say. But I would have to say, though,
you know, no matter what you have to go with dunbeatings,
somebody beat them. So you would have to say, the
top teams right now are are are Philly and Buffalo.
Nobody's been able to beat them. And also think about
the teams they've played. They haven't played spre ubs the
first four weeks. They've actually played some real competition and
went out there and performed. So those those teams until
(09:42):
someone beats them, until someone dethrones them, because that's the fact.
Who have m KC. Everyone's like, oh, it's gonna be
KC until somebody you know beats him. No, Philly beat them,
so now it's not Casey anymore. We're talking about Philly,
and then Buffalo still always is teetering around right there.
But man, this is what's good for football. Though you
want to all these teams being close to.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
The top, this is what you enjoyed absolutely.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And by the way, the AFC is a little weird
this year. I mean, I don't know what's gonna happen
with Baltimore. Sounds like Laura Jackson isn't gonna play here
for a couple of weeks. They're one and three.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
That's what's so great about the league is every single
year we find ourselves in this position where we think
we know and stuff happens and then it ends up
started turning in us head, including maybe a run for
the Browns after they beat the Vikings coming up on Sunday.
Maybe the Brown's going a bit of a run. Who knows, right, Hey,
that's the ball, right, that's what I'm talking. That's right, man.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
To control what you can control.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Absolutely well. Hey man, we always appreciate it. Thanks for
joining us for a few minutes. Best of luck not
only your travels, but also on Sunday versus the Vikings.
We'll check in with you next week.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I appreciate it, Fellows.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Thanks Shelby.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
All right, Princeville Hare brings the good. It's important. You
can't do anything in life if you don't go to
school every day and take advantage of those opportunities.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
