Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is agree to disagree with and Bobriola. Okay, nothing
says excess like Thanksgiving except this award winning episode. Much
should be but award winning episode. Agree to disagree the
show with the motto I'm right and just as you
always eat too much on Thanksgiving, well we're doing We're
(00:24):
gonna over We're gonna overdo it here as well. We're
gonna start off, though, in honor of the holiday, with
a quick Thanksgiving lightning round. Ready, ready, Okay, Breakfast absolutely
not the only thing you're consume. Agree, Some chips or
peanuts or some while you're drinking waiting for the meal.
You can not a little but keep it light main course. Agree,
(00:48):
I thought you might. I thought you might come with
that hamd garbage, and I thought you're gonna give me
that lasagna stuff. There is no there's only two. I've
tried to teach you this many times. There's two holidays
your time you related to any Norwoods or anything. Okay, Um,
there's only two holidays that there was no pasta served. Thanksgiving,
(01:12):
New Year's Day, Okay, number one side number one condiment
tough one because I'm mostly a turkey stuff and guy
to be honest with you. Uh this gravy count. Yes,
gravy counts, and I'll go with grave. Okay, agree, I'll
(01:32):
tell you what we could probably eat together on Thanksgiving days, Okay,
definitely a no. No. Cranberry sauce. I don't get it.
I don't I don't get it if it's homemade. I
don't get it when it's in a can and it
comes out like a jelly like. I don't like the taste.
I don't like the consistency. I don't like to smell.
I don't like to see it on somebody else's plate. Okay,
(01:56):
not a not a Cranberry sauce person either. For me,
Cranberry is going one thing, ja. But we would have
a hell of a meal together. Salad though, because to me,
that's just needlessly taking up room and a great record dinner,
dark Horse. I'm gonna fast forward to the dessert, and
(02:19):
this is gonna be off the board. But my wife's
got an aunt who makes pumpkin cheesecake, not pumpkin pie,
pumpkin cheesecake and lab I'm telling you, if I ever
get divorced again, I'm getting partial custody. The pumpkin cheesecake
it's that good. It's phenomenal. It's it's not a little
too heavy. That's the only thing that would worry me. No,
(02:41):
I need the sugar. That kind of brings me. I mean,
but making it as a cheesecake, it just scares me
a little. I can't properly expressed to you how good
this creation. Well, dinner dark horse for me would be
mac and cheese. So I thought you were gonna say
lasagna again, but you already corrected me on that. Okay,
because you know you got you got a pretty good shot.
(03:01):
If you're speaking to someone such as Mr Labriola, you
got it's got a chance to be the right answer. Right. Um.
Linguini with clam sauce is a big favorite on Christmas
Eve two Okay, like that seven fishers thing too, Yeah,
well that's Christmas Eve. Yeah, well, but that's one of
the fish. Seven clams are a fish kind of you know,
(03:24):
especially see Christmas Eve. We could do red clam sauce
or white clam sauce. I'm always a red sauce guy,
me too. Okay, nap, pre dinner, post dinner got to
be posted. See I mentioned the drinking starts before dinner.
I understand that, but that's why the Lions games on
and then the next games that in a minute, Yeah, okay,
(03:46):
be bedtime snack choice, turkey sandwich, white bread, piece of
American cheese, maybe a little horse radish horse radish mayo.
Yeah yeah, okay, good choice. See I I'd leave the
cheese up. But that's okay. What's on TV the Lions game,
the next game, and then at night it's that's probably
(04:07):
naptime by then. So I really don't care well in
my house. That's why we have to have more than
one TV, because my wife watches Miracle on thirty four
Street is what's on TV, so you know there are
That's why we have a four bedroom house. And that's
why I'm not in the same We're not talking about
something that happened at Madison Square Garden, that are they.
(04:28):
I couldn't tell you what's on thirty four Street. Never
saw that movie, guard never saw Christmas movie. But man,
never squ Guarden a movie I've never seen. It's a
wonderful life. I had to think of the name of it. Okay,
you might melt that hard just a little bit. I'll
tell you what much. I might, just might, I might
(04:48):
sit there and wants the whole thing with you, And
if a little tear came out of your eye, you
would never ever hear the end. Jimmy Start, He's a
Pennsylvania guy. Makes you, makes you reassess. If I saw
a tear come out of your eye while you were
watching that, I'd have to hit my little Uh in
the Michigan fight song would come on. That would straighten
you up real quick, it would okay? Statement number one. Oh,
(05:11):
if it was Mike Tomlin who was responsible for the
jumbo package, the full back lead run up the middle
by Nausey Harris for a touchdown, then he should exercise
his authority more often. Uh. I'm gonna disagree because I
think he should be exercising his authority through all aspects
of the operation. Uh. He's already acknowledged that he's doing
(05:32):
that with the defense. I think he should be neck
deep in the offense. Um. And I think this team
needs managing and massaging and cajoling. And it's a little
bit more complex if they're gonna have success. To hey,
throw him out there and go do what you do, fellas.
I want him involved the package. I like, Um, you
(05:53):
know a lot of teams are doing it Detroit did.
It doesn't have to just be a goal line thing.
It could be a third and one thing, It could
be a reports is eligible. Let's go back to that
a little Troy did it. The Bengals are gonna have
seventy five is eligible this Sunday, at least if they
do it the way they did it against the Raiders
last Sunday. They will. And the Steelers, Bob have proven
they don't block the run very well. So maybe zack
(06:17):
banners what's needed. Maybe you have that one series where
you come out and he's in there for three plays
and you're move it about eleven yards and then you
go from there. But uh, Mike Tomblin should be heavily
involved in all aspects of this operation. I have no
doubt that he is. But keep doing it. Yeah, I
I agree with you and agree with the statement. Um,
(06:38):
you know as and he needs to do it as
often as it needs to until the message is conveyed
because uh, you know I my issue with the running game, UH.
Number one issue would be, uh, when they choose or
choose not to run the ball. Well, let me say this,
if we can, can we expand it since it's a
holiday and all since where we have everybody more than
(07:00):
they think they need anyway. Um, the first goal line
series against the Chargers. The second possession, first and goal
to five. They ran Claypool on a wide receiverously he
got three yards. Okay, it's a reasonable game. On first
down from the five, second down, they ran Nagy Harris.
He got hit twice before he got back to the
line of scrimmage. And that doesn't include J. C. Hassen
(07:23):
how being knocked onto his back by his guy who
probably couldn't get to Harris because he's in the process
of stepping over Hassenhauer. I mean, if I'm calling place
that doesn't in gender a lot of confidence in me. Oh,
let's try to play some powerball with these guys. U.
The third down pass to Claypool, he was passing interfered with.
He got pulled down by Samuel. They missed a call.
(07:44):
I can't believe it. The fourth down thing that that
wasn't gonna work from the go, and then when they
tried to Claypool thing again in the second half, same
personnel group, same formation, same side of the field, and
it didn't work. That was the long where off the
spritter turned to the sideline and gave the palms up.
Bug eyed. You know what are we doing here? He
(08:06):
said he wasn't doing that, but I think he was
doing that. But the point I'm laboring to make is
I think running the ball is very tough with this team,
and you gotta pick your spots, and you better figured
out some creative ways to do it, because, uh, to
just line up and pitch it to Nagy Harris the
way the Bengals, we're gonna pitch it to Joe Mixon,
it ain't gonna work as well. The line is leaking again, Coach.
(08:29):
I yes it is, um, but I also think that um,
you know the jet sweeps and you know all that
kind of garbage. Put it away, put it away, put
it away. Okay, next statement, largely NFL games on Thanksgiving
(08:50):
are boring. Time to break the Detroit and Dallas monopoly.
Absolutely not. Number one, they've played this game in Detroit
since Dallas or you know what else. They used to
do a nineteen thirty four die from the flu. But
you know, just saying, I mean, you're not a traditional guy.
You you scoff at lambeau Field is uh the Yankee
(09:12):
Stadium in the NFL and other great traditions of the game.
So it's not surprising you'd come up with this heresy
on a very sacred day, particularly in the great state
of Michigan. Uh, Cowboys don't throw me, you know, of course,
the Dallas Cowboys. Oh, if you've got something, we gotta
have it. So they jumped onto Thanksgiving bandwagon. But I
don't mind watching Cowboys games. I don't like the Cowboys,
(09:33):
but they are they're they're good copies. We used to
say in our newspaper days. I could do without the
third one on the night game. To me is the
third one is for those of us who like football
and haven't seen any all afternoon. Um, but you know,
I get the Detroit Uh, the tradition back in the
(09:54):
day when you know, football lag behind boxing, horse racing
and those kind of sports for attention and interest in
this country. Uh. But I mean, okay, the debt of
Detroit has been paid, you know, for their willingness to
accept this Thanksgiving Day game and do it every year. Okay,
that's enough. And now, um, you know it's actually in
(10:17):
a lot of ways an advantage for the team's the
host teams because it's the Thursday game, you're always at home. Okay,
that makes it yeah, but then you get a long week.
On the other side, every time it's a short week,
I hear, but you're incredible difficult week. Okay, yeah, it
(10:38):
is difficult, but if you're the home team, it's not
as difficult as it is for the road team. Okay.
And I seem to be paying off in terms of
championships one for the Lions, and so the league should
should just take the Thanksgiving Day games over and give
us good matchups. You know what it's because for example, Dallas,
(11:02):
excuse me, Detroit and um, Green Bay. So now next
year the visiting team has to be from the a
f C. Yeah, but again, I'd rather watch a replay
of that game. Seriously, a lot of lines show me
(11:23):
that game, um, because it's it's just can you recreate
Tiger Stadium? And you know again, fine, let's do there's
and you know, the Dallas game is the same in
terms of dictating the opponent because it's the Raiders this year,
so that's and excuse me, that's uh CBS. So next
(11:44):
year the Dallas game has to be a Fox game,
so it has to be an NFC team, so there's
too many constraints or limitations on who the opponents can be.
Detroit stinks, so there's really no compelling opponent for them, um,
you know, except I don't know. Maybe they could play
Bears is pretty good match up. It's like going down
(12:09):
to the pound and pulling the two ugliest, ugliest dogs out.
It's not like a pound dog against the Grayhouse. This
is this should be compelling stuff. I can't wait. Yeah,
And that's why drinking is such a big part of
your things. If I didn't have to work, if you
and Steelers practice Friday, I would drive to ford Field
(12:31):
on Thursday. No way, No way. That I understand, as
is most of what you spew over these very airways.
Statement number three, coloring outside the lines, breaking tendencies, being
aggressive even early in games, should be on the menu
(12:51):
every week moving forward this season. I'm gonna disagree. I
think this team needs to figure out what it can
do offensively and do that and offensively. I am not
a guy who usually has uh much of an interest
in listening to the violin play in the wake of
mounting injuries, but what we saw against the Chargers was
(13:12):
a coaching staff that didn't have any cards and was
trying to play poker. I think the defense is pretty
good when its whole. I think the offense, we're this
far in, I still don't know what their strength is. Uh.
I certainly don't want to start throwing stuff at the
world breaking. Okay, go ahead, I'll let you. Yeah, I mean,
(13:32):
try to run better. Maybe maybe the extra tackle thing
more often allows you to get some semblance of a
running game going. I was encouraged with Ben Roethlisberger. I
thought he was great against the Chargers, one of his
better games that I've seen him play in a while.
And you know, hopefully he's on a little bit of
an uptake here. Maybe they should start flying in private
yet no practice to show up and play. That might
(13:54):
be the ticket in terms of color and outside the lines.
But uh, let's let's keep it simple. Try to move
the sticks. But that that is in fact breaking a tendency.
What you just said, is it? Yes? Because when have
they done that this year? Move the sticks, keeping it simple,
run the ball more power? Uh, you know, add Zach Banner,
(14:17):
that's breaking a tendency. Okay, here, but let's not go
run and shoot let's not I didn't. I didn't reinvent
the wheel here, didn't get stupid stupid er um, because
the implication is it's because breaking breaking tendency also would
be maybe turning it over to Ben a little more,
(14:40):
do a little more up tempo stuff that's breaking a tendency.
I'll agree with anything that works a little bit more
consistently than what we've seen. And even that, as great
as that comeback was against the Chargers, I don't know
if you can go into every game thinking, Okay, we're
gonna block a punt and get the ball to three
yard line and then we're gonna get a tip pick
where they get that at the eleven something like that.
(15:02):
I mean, there was two touchdowns just put on the
rim for them to slam dunk in, even if they
hit the back of the rim the one time and
it went up in the air and they had to
grab it again and put it in. But they didn't
exactly drive the ball up and down the field, didn't
exactly run the ball against the NFL's worst running defense
minus two of its starters. So I guess I'll agree
(15:22):
because I don't know what the hell are they Well,
that's why. That's why when you said, um, you know,
figure out what what you do? Well, I mean we're
beyond that. I guess something else would be the correct.
What should they do? Something else, something different? Something pessel
is on you linguini with clam sauce. I try and
(15:46):
teach this guy. So that's gonna do it for this
edition of this holiday edition of agreed to this. See,
now I'm gonna have to really show myself here. I
can't drink wine. It gives me a headache. Wow, I can't.
I'm I understand, you know, someone after all these years.
(16:07):
Well that's why I put the cranberry in the vodka.
It looks kind of looks like red wine. The answers red. Yeah, Well, uh,
you know, I'll buy you a bottle, but drink it yourself.
I go over in the family. Um, you know, like
I said, gonna be some disappointment there. Huh yeah, yeah, yeah.
(16:29):
I did like the red wine my grandfather used to
make though, because um, that was more like vodka with
food coloring in it. My grandfather was both of them
actually were those kind of immigrants that made their own
hooch in the basement because they were here during prohibition,
and they just were doc drink. So I was like
ten years old and my mom's father comes to me.
(16:51):
We're visiting, and he's got this glass. It's jet fuel.
I don't know what what it was. I'm like ten,
and he thinks it's time for me to start being
a man, you know, cutting it down. So I take
a little sip and it tasted like jet fuel. I'm like, oh,
I mean, you know, like all these gyrations in my
face scrunched off. And he looks at me and he
(17:12):
goes ah. He gives me the handwave and turns around
and walks away. Well, it's never disappointed anybody anymore in
my life than I did right at that moment. Well,
let me just explain this to you. The day that
the wine, my grandfather opened the wine every year March
seventeen St. Patrick. Who, Yeah, I did the math. Oh,
(17:39):
I'm too bad. They don't play games in March because
I stout holiday. These were like a combine going on
there or anything. Somebody's pro Day. Yeah, we could do
the agree to disagree with Southwest Louisiana text pro Day
and uh Sunday or excuse me, Thursday at noon. Let's
(17:59):
replay the sixty two Packers against the Lions
This is agree to disagree with and Bobriola. Okay, nothing
says excess like Thanksgiving except this award winning episode. Much
should be but award winning episode. Agree to disagree the
show with the motto I'm right and just as you
always eat too much on Thanksgiving, well we're doing We're
(00:24):
gonna over We're gonna overdo it here as well. We're
gonna start off, though, in honor of the holiday, with
a quick Thanksgiving lightning round. Ready, ready, Okay, Breakfast absolutely
not the only thing you're consume. Agree, Some chips or
peanuts or some while you're drinking waiting for the meal.
You can not a little but keep it light main course. Agree,
(00:48):
I thought you might. I thought you might come with
that hamd garbage, and I thought you're gonna give me
that lasagna stuff. There is no there's only two. I've
tried to teach you this many times. There's two holidays
your time you related to any Norwoods or anything. Okay, Um,
there's only two holidays that there was no pasta served. Thanksgiving,
(01:12):
New Year's Day, Okay, number one side number one condiment
tough one because I'm mostly a turkey stuff and guy
to be honest with you. Uh this gravy count. Yes,
gravy counts, and I'll go with grave. Okay, agree, I'll
(01:32):
tell you what we could probably eat together on Thanksgiving days, Okay,
definitely a no. No. Cranberry sauce. I don't get it.
I don't I don't get it if it's homemade. I
don't get it when it's in a can and it
comes out like a jelly like. I don't like the taste.
I don't like the consistency. I don't like to smell.
I don't like to see it on somebody else's plate. Okay,
(01:56):
not a not a Cranberry sauce person either. For me,
Cranberry is going one thing, ja. But we would have
a hell of a meal together. Salad though, because to me,
that's just needlessly taking up room and a great record dinner,
dark Horse. I'm gonna fast forward to the dessert, and
(02:19):
this is gonna be off the board. But my wife's
got an aunt who makes pumpkin cheesecake, not pumpkin pie,
pumpkin cheesecake and lab I'm telling you, if I ever
get divorced again, I'm getting partial custody. The pumpkin cheesecake
it's that good. It's phenomenal. It's it's not a little
too heavy. That's the only thing that would worry me. No,
(02:41):
I need the sugar. That kind of brings me. I mean,
but making it as a cheesecake, it just scares me
a little. I can't properly expressed to you how good
this creation. Well, dinner dark horse for me would be
mac and cheese. So I thought you were gonna say
lasagna again, but you already corrected me on that. Okay,
because you know you got you got a pretty good shot.
(03:01):
If you're speaking to someone such as Mr Labriola, you
got it's got a chance to be the right answer. Right. Um.
Linguini with clam sauce is a big favorite on Christmas
Eve two Okay, like that seven fishers thing too, Yeah,
well that's Christmas Eve. Yeah, well, but that's one of
the fish. Seven clams are a fish kind of you know,
(03:24):
especially see Christmas Eve. We could do red clam sauce
or white clam sauce. I'm always a red sauce guy,
me too. Okay, nap, pre dinner, post dinner got to
be posted. See I mentioned the drinking starts before dinner.
I understand that, but that's why the Lions games on
and then the next games that in a minute, Yeah, okay,
(03:46):
be bedtime snack choice, turkey sandwich, white bread, piece of
American cheese, maybe a little horse radish horse radish mayo.
Yeah yeah, okay, good choice. See I I'd leave the
cheese up. But that's okay. What's on TV the Lions game,
the next game, and then at night it's that's probably
(04:07):
naptime by then. So I really don't care well in
my house. That's why we have to have more than
one TV, because my wife watches Miracle on thirty four
Street is what's on TV, so you know there are
That's why we have a four bedroom house. And that's
why I'm not in the same We're not talking about
something that happened at Madison Square Garden, that are they.
(04:28):
I couldn't tell you what's on thirty four Street. Never
saw that movie, guard never saw Christmas movie. But man,
never squ Guarden a movie I've never seen. It's a
wonderful life. I had to think of the name of it. Okay,
you might melt that hard just a little bit. I'll
tell you what much. I might, just might, I might
(04:48):
sit there and wants the whole thing with you, And
if a little tear came out of your eye, you
would never ever hear the end. Jimmy Start, He's a
Pennsylvania guy. Makes you, makes you reassess. If I saw
a tear come out of your eye while you were
watching that, I'd have to hit my little Uh in
the Michigan fight song would come on. That would straighten
you up real quick, it would okay? Statement number one. Oh,
(05:11):
if it was Mike Tomlin who was responsible for the
jumbo package, the full back lead run up the middle

throw him out there and go do what you do, fellas.
I want him involved the package. I like, Um, you
(05:53):
know a lot of teams are doing it Detroit did.
It doesn't have to just be a goal line thing.
It could be a third and one thing, It could
be a reports is eligible. Let's go back to that
a little Troy did it. The Bengals are gonna have
seventy five is eligible this Sunday, at least if they
do it the way they did it against the Raiders
last Sunday. They will. And the Steelers, Bob have proven
they don't block the run very well. So maybe zack
(06:17):
banners what's needed. Maybe you have that one series where
you come out and he's in there for three plays
and you're move it about eleven yards and then you
go from there. But uh, Mike Tomblin should be heavily
involved in all aspects of this operation. I have no

I agree with you and agree with the statement. Um,

as difficult as it is for the road team. Okay.
And I seem to be paying off in terms of
championships one for the Lions, and so the league should
should just take the Thanksgiving Day games over and give
us good matchups. You know what it's because for example, Dallas,
(11:02):
excuse me, Detroit and um, Green Bay. So now next
year the visiting team has to be from the a
f C. Yeah, but again, I'd rather watch a replay
of that game. Seriously, a lot of lines show me
(11:23):
that game, um, because it's it's just can you recreate
Tiger Stadium? And you know again, fine, let's do there's
and you know, the Dallas game is the same in
terms of dictating the opponent because it's the Raiders this year,
so that's and excuse me, that's uh CBS. So next
(11:44):
year the Dallas game has to be a Fox game,
so it has to be an NFC team, so there's
too many constraints or limitations on who the opponents can be.
Detroit stinks, so there's really no compelling opponent for them, um,
you know, except I don't know. Maybe they could play
Bears is pretty good match up. It's like going down
(12:09):
to the pound and pulling the two ugliest, ugliest dogs out.
It's not like a pound dog against the Grayhouse. This
is this should be compelling stuff. I can't wait. Yeah,
And that's why drinking is such a big part of
your things. If I didn't have to work, if you
and Steelers practice Friday, I would drive to ford Field
(12:31):
on Thursday. No way, No way. That I understand, as
is most of what you spew over these very airways.
Statement number three, coloring outside the lines, breaking tendencies, being
aggressive even early in games, should be on the menu
(12:51):
every week moving forward this season. I'm gonna disagree. I
think this team needs to figure out what it can
do offensively and do that and offensively. I am not
a guy who usually has uh much of an interest
in listening to the violin play in the wake of
mounting injuries, but what we saw against the Chargers was
(13:12):
a coaching staff that didn't have any cards and was
trying to play poker. I think the defense is pretty
good when its whole. I think the offense, we're this
far in, I still don't know what their strength is. Uh.
I certainly don't want to start throwing stuff at the
world breaking. Okay, go ahead, I'll let you. Yeah, I mean,
(13:32):
try to run better. Maybe maybe the extra tackle thing
more often allows you to get some semblance of a
running game going. I was encouraged with Ben Roethlisberger. I
thought he was great against the Chargers, one of his
better games that I've seen him play in a while.
And you know, hopefully he's on a little bit of
an uptake here. Maybe they should start flying in private
yet no practice to show up and play. That might
(13:54):
be the ticket in terms of color and outside the lines.
But uh, let's let's keep it simple. Try to move
the sticks. But that that is in fact breaking a tendency.
What you just said, is it? Yes? Because when have
they done that this year? Move the sticks, keeping it simple,
run the ball more power? Uh, you know, add Zach Banner,
(14:17):
that's breaking a tendency. Okay, here, but let's not go
run and shoot let's not I didn't. I didn't reinvent
the wheel here, didn't get stupid stupid er um, because
the implication is it's because breaking breaking tendency also would
be maybe turning it over to Ben a little more,
(14:40):
do a little more up tempo stuff that's breaking a tendency.
I'll agree with anything that works a little bit more
consistently than what we've seen. And even that, as great
as that comeback was against the Chargers, I don't know
if you can go into every game thinking, Okay, we're
gonna block a punt and get the ball to three
yard line and then we're gonna get a tip pick
where they get that at the eleven something like that.
(15:02):
I mean, there was two touchdowns just put on the
rim for them to slam dunk in, even if they
hit the back of the rim the one time and
it went up in the air and they had to
grab it again and put it in. But they didn't
exactly drive the ball up and down the field, didn't
exactly run the ball against the NFL's worst running defense
minus two of its starters. So I guess I'll agree
(15:22):
because I don't know what the hell are they Well,
that's why. That's why when you said, um, you know,
figure out what what you do? Well, I mean we're
beyond that. I guess something else would be the correct.
What should they do? Something else, something different? Something pessel
is on you linguini with clam sauce. I try and
(15:46):
teach this guy. So that's gonna do it for this
edition of this holiday edition of agreed to this. See,
now I'm gonna have to really show myself here. I
can't drink wine. It gives me a headache. Wow, I can't.
I'm I understand, you know, someone after all these years.
(16:07):
Well that's why I put the cranberry in the vodka.
It looks kind of looks like red wine. The answers red. Yeah, Well, uh,
you know, I'll buy you a bottle, but drink it yourself.
I go over in the family. Um, you know, like
I said, gonna be some disappointment there. Huh yeah, yeah, yeah.
(16:29):
I did like the red wine my grandfather used to
make though, because um, that was more like vodka with
food coloring in it. My grandfather was both of them
actually were those kind of immigrants that made their own
hooch in the basement because they were here during prohibition,
and they just were doc drink. So I was like
ten years old and my mom's father comes to me.
(16:51):
We're visiting, and he's got this glass. It's jet fuel.
I don't know what what it was. I'm like ten,
and he thinks it's time for me to start being
a man, you know, cutting it down. So I take
a little sip and it tasted like jet fuel. I'm like, oh,
I mean, you know, like all these gyrations in my
face scrunched off. And he looks at me and he
(17:12):
goes ah. He gives me the handwave and turns around
and walks away. Well, it's never disappointed anybody anymore in
my life than I did right at that moment. Well,
let me just explain this to you. The day that
the wine, my grandfather opened the wine every year March
seventeen St. Patrick. Who, Yeah, I did the math. Oh,
(17:39):
I'm too bad. They don't play games in March because
I stout holiday. These were like a combine going on
there or anything. Somebody's pro Day. Yeah, we could do
the agree to disagree with Southwest Louisiana text pro Day
and uh Sunday or excuse me, Thursday at noon. Let's
(17:59):
replay the sixty two Packers against the Lions
