(00:22):
the upcoming episode, That's what Imeant has Dave Logan on There you go,

a podcast about music. So wetalked music for an hour and a half.
It was a blast. I wouldhave loved to have and will love
to listen to that podcast. Introduceyou to some new bands. There you

(00:42):
go see. Well, well,Grant, since you're going to talk to
Dave next week, you can talkto him about his prostate make sure that
he cancers a finger. It's hisregular check ups. Hey, if we
get Dave Logan, maybe Torell Davisand Big Al a part of our promotion,
I think we could really get somesteam behind the I think it's something
that we absolutely need to do forthe whole world, minus the w which

(01:03):
should you get for doing this.I'm a terrible person every time I've been
wherever you go, I'm gonna takeit ten percent further right, Ryan Edwards
understood this. The og Ryan Edwardsunderstood this. We called it to ten
percent rule. Wherever you go,then we'll go ten percent further. Can
Can we stop talking about that inrelation to a prostate by the way,

(01:23):
because I mean, seriously, Idon't want to talk about going ten percent
deeper further. Sorry, See,can you do that twenty five? That's
twenty five? That'd be like anextra never mind five to six nine zeros
of text line? Please save mefrom getting myself fired here, which I'm
really doing my best to do.Quite a few interesting texts here on the

(01:47):
text line, although most of theseI can't read out loud, so you
guys get my sense of humor.I just literally can't read any of these.
Going all the way back, mywife has her own personal bank account.
I have my own personal bank account. We have a ooint account for
mortgage and bills. Going back tothe shared account stuff. Listen, man,
I get it. I mean everyonehas their own way of doing things,

(02:09):
and maybe that works out in theirrelationship. I know my brother and
his wife they have a separate bankaccounts, and there's a part of me
that doesn't understand that because maybe I'mjust old fashioned in that particular way.
But listen, I get it,this new school way of doing things.
Like you said, what would youdo with your significant other? What was

(02:32):
it PayPal or something like that.I mean, like, if they need
money, I don't need to createa new separate account that both of us
are on. I can just venmoyou the money or wired from like my
bank. I've got my bank apphas a thing where I can just send
you the money directly from my account. I don't you have to use a
third party service anymore. Oh man, it just doesn't seem right. Man,
just doesn't seem right to me,because it's just like I guess when

(02:53):
I think about marriage, I seemarriage in a certain way, and it's
like, if you feel as thoughyou have to go through those man with
someone, don't marry them, whichwhich I don't know that I have to
go. So it's just that I'mdistrustful of everyone. See there it is
see I know, see there wasThere's always something and then we get to
the bottom of it, right,It's it's the inability to trust. Well.

(03:14):
Skepticism has helped make me like goodat my job. Like having skepticism
job. What we're talking about outsideof your work, man, I mean,
you can't take your work home withme at least, that's what I
was. The number of people thatI trust is very few, but I
think you and I know as Itrust. I trust Ryan okay, Okay,
I trust Mario. Okay, that'sfour we we bought run off on

(03:37):
the list. I'm just saying,oh, that's crazy mates, love and
trust. No, you know I'vegiven you phone numbers out of my phone
and stuff like that. That's justliterally the list, dude, Like,
if I'll give you numbers out ofmy phone, I trust you. That's
why. And there ain't that manypeople I trust. That's wild. I
thought I was going to be thatguy, you know, not being any

(03:57):
of you on my bank account,and why not? You just said you
trust us? Yes, I trustHe just said that. He just said
he trusts us. Can you putme on that bank account? I could
use that. See like I said, I trusts like like the bitcoin.
Just just put me directly on thewall and there. It's fine. Looks

(04:18):
like he's doing pretty well lately,so he's not gonna miss it. Right.
It's a couple of dollars, yeah, one, you know it's about
seventy grand Actually, yeah, thatsounds about yes, five, six,
six nine Zeros text line the Broncos, how can they inject some juice in
the run game? For me,it's it's looking at this upcoming draft and

(04:41):
trying to inject some of these youngguys into the mix, because you look
at the Broncos run game last year, it really didn't get off of the
ground. And I know every timeyou talk about it's like creating an offense
that is somewhat of a bully typementality. And like Terrell said, if
you're going to do that, obviouslyyou look at your offensive line, but

(05:04):
now you have to change what youdo with your tight ends, and you
can't just have you know, tightends who flex out guys, but guys
who can be inline blockers. AndI think that's what Sean Payton tried to
do last year. But you haveto help out this run game. And
a lot of people criticize Yvonte lastyear, and for me, I'm going

(05:27):
to put a little that on thescheme for one not being consistent up front
blocking, but also the constant rotation. You and I would talk about this
all the time. Yes, stopwith the changing. If Simonds, if
Ryan is in the game, lethim have the entire series, right,
Get that guy a series to getinto a rhythm in the flow, because

(05:48):
that's what every player needs, butespecially running backs. And I don't think
Sean Payton views running backs that way. I think he views them as just
as interchangeable as wide receivers. Itfeels with the way he shuffles in and
out, it feels like it.I don't, I don't. I don't
like that because maybe this is basedon the people that I've been around,

(06:08):
so being around Mike and being aroundKyles, just like they always had a
stable of running backs. Yeah,but if that guy was hot on that,
you ride that and it doesn't feellike that. That's like Sean Paige
didn't even he did that with quarterbacksremember the Carousel with Drew Brees and tasm
Hill. Yes, like quarterbacks inhouse, but once again to add more

(06:30):
competition. Like when we saw Juwill'sMcLoughlin, as you so eloquently labeled him.
I mean he had his moments,but even with his skill set,
I thought that he was put insituations that didn't really showcases like those screens
was killing you and I I meanwe were like, dude, come on
this, this do something else thatwould throw the defense off that every time

(06:51):
he's in, they don't know ifthat's coming right, And that was I
think the other part of that,it's just they did it was the hand
was tipped. Every time Julie wasin. He knew what was happening because
back there for pass pro. Butthis is why you should bring you go
back and you go twenty one poonding. You have two running backs in.
They have no idea, right maybesometime down the line they would maybe maybe
they might figure it out, butnow with two backs on the field,

(07:13):
they don't really know where you're goingwith the with the ball. I'm so
glad you said that because I've beena huge proponent for years of more gun
two back looks and going with youremember the Mountaineer offense. Yes, the
way they had, they'd have youknow, you'd have gun two back,
you have gun split back, andyou could do all kinds. And especially
with the way that we have importedRPO concept into the NFL now from the
college game, you can bring someof that stuff in there. You can

(07:33):
have a running back going behind anorbit motion and create option. Look,
Champagne doesn't run RPOs. Well,he certainly didn't last year, but I
you know he did when take themwas there for a little bit and it
was mostly keep you power, butthey did run some RPO type stuff.
I just for me, I wouldlove to see more gun two back looks
out of this off especially if you'vegot a quarterback that could take advantage of
it. Because if you could,if you could put a back like Chamante

(07:56):
and put it back like Jalil inthe same backfield at the same time and
give yourself different give defenses differently,you can pull linebackers out of the equation.
You could be running a generic RPO, but you have Jaliel run an
older motion around behind all of asudden, he's pulling a linebacker out of
the out of the thing, andyou've got one read on the end and
that's it. And the reason Ilike that because it gives your offense multiple
layers and all you're trying to doas an officive coordinator is create one on

(08:22):
one matchups and also create space,right space to take advantage of. Because
if you get a mic linebacker andyou say you have Jewel's come in and
cross, now you move that linebackerbecause he's got to respect that. He's
got to respect that speed and thatability, so he's gonna open up.
So now if you want to runa pass play, it's there. It's

(08:43):
now there because now you move theguy out of position because now he's keen
on the running back. So thisis why I feel the Broncos should go
out and add values. Not becauseI feel as though samigp Ryan or Jalil
can't get it done or Davante can'tget it done. The idea is the
art of competition. You're going tobring guys in to elevate that room because

(09:07):
at the end of the day,it's about depth. Knowing as though the
Broncos don't really have that many draftpicks at this time. You have to
make the most out of what youhave and being able to select one of
those young running backs that you're notpaying a significant amount of money, but
that someone could come in and theycan be featured in some way in this
offense. Five sixty sixth nine zerois the text line seven nine says what

(09:28):
about me? Ben? Random texther from Pueblau, do you trust me?
And funny enough. While we weredoing is my mother texted me and
asked, what about you know?What about mom? See you did not
even mention Mom. I did earlier. We talked about the power of attorney
stuff like I literally gave her powerof attorneys. Okay, power of attorney.
That's that's one thing as it pertainsto that gave her full access and
control of everything. Okay, Sodoes she still have that today? Now?

(09:52):
That was a temporary, temporary power. Attorney got back to the side
of his own I don't do this. I think your mom's gonna like that.
She was gonna be up here.I think they're in a parking lot
now. After like ten minutes tosmack me around for saying that, No,
I that no, Sorry, Momsaid one nine fire up the run
game, draft the entire Michigan offensiveline, feed the runners consistently. Yes,

(10:13):
I'm a huge Michigan fan. Well, we already Hadrake Nugent on the
show. Yes, could you havethe center just saying just put just put
it out there, you don't likeit, sent it right back? I
had when Nuton was on the show. I think, you know a lot
of the conversations we were talking aboutalluded to that fact that wouldn't it be
great if we had Nugent and JJMcCarthy. You know, they can learn

(10:35):
and grow together. I think they'vealready grown together. They grew together this
past year. They together. ButI'm here for Drake's music carry over we
had, we had Drake gone,he had great, he had superior taste
of music. I'm definitely for fordrafting that, dude. I'm just saying
for solely based on that and noton anything football acumen whatsoever. But once
again, I liked the idea ofgetting back to bullyball, being physical,

(10:58):
being able to run the ball whenthe defensive team knows that you're going to
run it. But we're going todo it anyway. And I tried to
get ted in our camp on hewas like trying to bring the fullback back.
I'm not necessarily trying to bring thefull back back, but you go
too tight, you know, youcould you could have a power run game
out of the gun if you're runningguns, if you were the gun too
back guy that the Broncos have onthe team right now, who you can

(11:20):
put in motion and be that thatthat move guy who could dig guys out.
Tim Patrick. That's not tight end. But I mean say like Tim
Patrick, Lil Jordan Humphrey have showna willingness to do it. Well.
I mean, they picked up JoshRentolds and that was kind of the reason
why they picked up Josh Rentolds.Yeah, to be that blocking guy.
Yeah, I mean, and hecatches well out of slot. I think
they're gonna go a lot bigger anda lot heavier this year. I do

(11:41):
think that that's the direction that they'rethey seem to be pivoting to, So
we'll see. I mean, I'velong, like I said, I've long
been a proponent of gun two backand kind of run in some of that
mountaineer stuff that they used to runback when Steve Slayton was there and then
they had and those the quarterback ofGeno was the quarterback there for a minute.
Yeah, but but there was anotherone who was Okay, Pat Why
Yeah, Pat White was to runpeople off the field. And if they

(12:03):
had no Noel Devine and Slaton andPat White and all those guy they were
running that. It was a differentversion of the triple option, but it
was gun split back and they wouldthey would the would run this almost this
orbit motion with the was one runningback and then an r po uh out
of the other thing. And andit's what you were you know, if
you collapse or you bit or whateveryou did to hit the mesh point,
they would just jump it off tothe guy in the orbit. Mostion,
I don't know understand why more offensivecoordinators don't really look at the college game

(12:28):
and kind of take from an innovationstarts at the high school level and trickles
off. It doesn't start the NFLlevel and go down. Yeah, because
when you look at what Andy Reidis doing and Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan,
how they're constantly moving guys and evenBobby slog with with with the Texans,
they're moving guys pre snap to createthat space. Yeah, to make
easier angles to get to that secondlevel and cut guys off. It's funny

(12:52):
because and and I don't know aton of time to get into the story,
but I know of an NFL coachwho sought out a premier league coach
for the spacing concepts because that's whatthey're trying to Yeah, he went and
talked to a soccer coach over therein the in the premier league because he
wanted to kind of get his hishis sort of vision on and it I'll
get into that a second, butanyway, he wanted to get into the

(13:15):
spacing concepts portion of how they spacethings out, creating space for guys and
putting athletes space get on the pull, and so he went to funny another
crossover. Spolstra talked to Chick Kellythe same thing about trying to get you
know, how are you getting thesematchup, you know, trying to get
spacing on the court for basketball sosports can borrow from each other in those
uh, you know, in thein those senses. I'm with you,
though, I don't know why somany coaches seem to be so stubborn.

(13:37):
And then we're going to do thingsthe way I learned how to do things
there there it is, there's theword stubborn. Stubborn, the viewpoints get
so fixed that I've been doing whateverit is for a long period of time,
and I'm not going to change.His worked here for twenty something odd
years. But everything is about innovation. I mean, even modern day medicine
has evolved. And his one thingyou said when you were talking about barring

(14:00):
from you know, maybe what wasit rugby? Primarily soccer? Yeah,
soccer. The one thing I hopethey don't adopt is that they have flopping.
I can't I can't stand that floppingin basketball or even in soccer.
I think it's lebron was consulting withPremier league players. You know they don't
have to Yes, Okay, nowreal quick, guys. There was a

(14:20):
report out early and I've got beenasked about this a bunch today, so
we'll get into this one real quick. There's a report out today for Paul
Allen via a k fan one thousandthree, one hundred point three up there
in Minnesota saying the quote, theBroncos are so desperate to move up for
a quarterback, specifically JJ McCarthy,that they could possibly include Patser Tan in
the trade, the Broncos could definitelybe a threat to the Vikings. I'll
read you the whole quote here saysthey're desperate out Denver way. I'm not

(14:41):
kid your man. I wouldn't besurprised if we want three so badly.
We'll give you pick twelve, we'llgive you next year's first, We'll give
you your Tan. I'm not kiddingyou to that desperate. That's not a
report. That's Paul Allen's opinion onsomething that would run counterdo everything I've heard,
probably and privately from the Broncos aboutdealing to Tan. Do I believe
that the Uncles are interested in JajonMcCarthy, Yes, do I believe?

(15:01):
In fact? Do I know thatthey've made calls to ask what it would
cost to move up like any responsibleteam, I know that they have.
I don't know that they're going tobe able to move up, and I
do not believe that they are opento trading. Patser Tan Well TD said
it himself like, if you findsomeone that you love, not like love,

(15:22):
you are willing to do whatever ittakes to get that particular individual.
It's just like dating, right Ifyou you. You know, there are
people who we we we were datingand we liked them, and then with
someone else that we love and that'sthe person we chased. Hopefully you landed
that person, ended up marrying thatperson, end up sharing a bank account
with him. Yeah, yeah,I don't know. Maybe maybe will God,

(15:43):
my mom's gonna be up here inthe next segment we'll do the six
pack, but maybe we'll ask her. I don't even know if if she
had her husband Paul shrik an accountor not. I don't know if they
do. I don't know. Youknow, maybe people wing to bet based
on my knowledge of the two ofthem that are listening right now. The
mom handles all the finances, ofcourse, right so that would mean that
they have, with all due respectto major soccer fan, believe they have

(16:04):
the same account. But she handlesall the finances. I would I don't
know if they have to say.I don't know if they do or not.
We'll find out. They'll be newsto me. By the way,
we got people on the text lifefor some reason trying to guess uh uh,
your your password or what. Idon't know. George stands as a
team. I was like, thoughthey're trying to guess Grant's password. Is
George's password multimeal? Was that hispassword? That I'm a fan, I

(16:30):
don't remember that multi mill. Ilove multi mill. Now I'm thirsty.
I mean the NFL SIXPEC got onecoming up next. Welcome back to it,
Broncos Country tonight, Benjamin Albrighten,Nick Ferguson, Grant Smith here with
you. Oh, I got justsat down real quick on that one.
Momos like, yeah, we havea shared account. Well, okay,
I have no idea where I learnedmy lack of trust jaded issues from the

(16:51):
seven o eight. Says Ben,You're jaded. Every army guy knows at
least one guy who had the wifedip with the money. That's what you
get. So maybe that's what itwas. Maybe the Army made me jaded
about it. That's probably what Ican understand, because when you live a
military life, you're traveling around frombase to base if that is your thing,
and sometimes you know, maybe youryour spouse, right, is someone

(17:15):
else's warming your your spot. Mybrother and the Marines happened to him having
him old lady while he was gone. Yep, that's crazy, Like you
were deployed trying to protect their freedomshere and abroad, and then all of
a sudden she was taking full advantageof her freedoms. Yeah, No,

(17:38):
I mean we had we had aguy like that. He was from he's
a filling guy for for a union. He's from Minnesota. And that's what
happened. Like he's his girl hemarried right before he left, like an
idiot, and he hadn't know hervery long, and that she ran off
with his cousin and cleaned cleaned outhis accounts, sold all his house,
his car, cleaned out all hisaccounts, and took over all the money
like a week before he got back. So dude got back, was homeless,

(17:59):
no car, and had like onepaycheck. You know what, here's
the thing that there's a number ofthings that frustrate me, but this one
really boils over my tea kettle.When you have men and women who serve
our country, who put their liveson the line, then they come back
home and some of these individuals endup homeless, It's like, no,

(18:23):
there should be something in that militarycontract that you sign that is sort of
like the GI bill. When youcome back, there is a lot of
money or a certain allotment of moneythat they should give you. Well,
that's I mean, they do.But they tell you, and they tell
you ahead of time not to dostuff like this. But you know,
we're all idiots. We do stuff. Maybe you know people are idiots.

(18:45):
They do stuff anyway, And that'sthat's the What do you mean they tell
you not to get married, Yeah, don't don't go. Don't go marry
and somebody you just met and givethem access to your finances right before you
leave. They literally tell you this. They have a clab. But I
think mom was sat through the classwith me on the pre deployment class,
but like, don't go marry somebodyright now and give them access to your
stuff. Being careful before you signthis. In fact, I made my
mom like like like because I wassigning the power of attorney, like I

(19:07):
made her, I'm like, okay, now are you going to have You're
gonna be a stable at this address? Is this gonna be I'm gonna need
you know, I'm gonna need somesome collateral views. I give you this
power of a topskin. But itwas I mean, like it is,
it is, it is a realthing. We we probably get it that
some about the time, though rightnow it's getting the NFL six pack.
It takes time for the NFL sixpack. I'm gonna trade the lot here
to insight and insight information you can'tfind anywhere else. No. Six the

(19:32):
top six NFL headline. What TomBrady might not be one hundred percent retired.
Brady was asked on Deep Cut andVic Blens whether he would return to
the NFL if a team in contentionlost its starting quarterback late in the season.
I'll let Joe Flacco. Last year, Brady, who was hoping to
become a minority owner in the Raiders, said it might be a violation of

(19:53):
NFL rules, but if the leaguewould allow it, he would consider it.
Ready cited as president Michael Jordan,who became part of the Washington Wizards
then played for the team for twoseasons, saying I'm not opposed to it.
I don't know if they're going tolet me if I become an owner
at an NFL team, I don'tknow. I'm always going to be in
good shape, always going to beable to throw a ball, so to
come in for a little bit likemj coming back, I don't know if
they'd let me, but I wouldn'tbe opposed to it. Without being asked

(20:17):
to name a team, Brady broughtup the Raiders and Patriots as teams he
could obviously envision playing for, anddespite the situation with the Raiders, has
agreement to come a broadcaster for Fox. Sounds like yes and shut the door
on playing again. What do youthink about Tom Brady coming back to the
NFL. I think it's interesting becausewhen you think about Tom Brady in the
fact that he's retired twice, andit's hard to get that out of your

(20:40):
system. It is really hard because, I mean, some would say that
his divorce may have had something todo with him wanting to come back and
his wife's saying no, I mean, the game is over. But it
would be really interesting. But oncethe guy in the difficult part is if
he becomes an owner of the NFLteam and the fact of his broadcasting duties,
would he there? Therefore, ifthe teams said, well, they

(21:00):
were in playoff position they needed toTom Brady, could he come in inspy
duties? I don't know. Tomwould come out of the booth to be
able to do that. You don'tthink he would pull a Flacco, No
No, No, No. No. Two. Well, the NFL announced
thirteen players who are going to attendthe drafts two weeks from tonight coverage right
here on Kowa. The list doeshave three quarterbacks, Kaylea Williams, Jays

(21:21):
And Daniels and Drake May, buttwo quarterbacks are conspicuously missing. Oregon's Bow
Knicks and Washington's Michael Pennix are notscheduled to attend the draft. Other players
who have confirmed they will attend ourAlabama corner Terry and Arnold, Marvin Harrison,
Junior, jac Latham, ladt ULatsu, Quenya, Mitchell, Malik
Neighbors, Romadoonza, Darius Robinson,Brian Thomas, and Dallas Turner. He's

(21:42):
the lowest number of attendees since twentytwenty one, when thirteen worth the draft
in person. Last year's seventeen playersattended the draft in Kansas City pre COVID
at least twenty two prospects attended everyone of those five drafts, the high
of twenty eight back in twenty fifteen. Do you think we'll read anything into
the fact that bo Nix and MichaelPenix are not going to the drug No

(22:03):
I don't. I'm not gonna makea big deal about it because what we've
seen over the past couple of years, a lot of players like sharing that
moment at home with their family members, even though you can still do that
in the green room, but theywant to share it with multiple members of
their family. But these guys notshowing up. I don't think it takes
anything away, but because once again, remember when that camera shows you in

(22:25):
that green room and you one ofthose lonely guys who they thought were gonna
go early, like Aaron Rodgers.We watched Geno Smith, Geno Smith,
they come back. I think itwas mom like his birthday or his mom's
birthday or something, remember something,And once again, that's embarrassing for the
cameras to be in your face.Right, and then now your agent's telling

(22:47):
you act as though someone's calling youon your phone, and no one's calling
you on your damn phone. No, stay at home, celebrated with your
fans. I perfected that art.Actually the popular like looking down on my
phone like people are texting me.Yes, there's no text messages. Adam
Scheffer has scrolling what it's say right, Yes, I talked to rap about
that is like, how many timesdo you scroll on your phone and you're
just doom scrolling Twitter and not Actually, he's more than I care to admit.
He's playing Tetris right right three.No secret the Vikings are in the

(23:11):
market for a quarterback after losing KirkCousins in free agency the Atlanta Falcons.
Minnesota acquired the number twenty three overallpick from Houston, giving them two first
rounders this year. Is The teamalso has its original selection at number eleven.
While Minnesota has shown plenty of interestin some of the top quarterbacks,
don't guarantee the franchise to be ableto pick those together to trade up for
one of them. But his Thursdaypress conference, general manager questi Ado fut

(23:34):
Mensa said he feels like the processis worth it, saying, quote,
I think that just because something's risky, he doesn't mean you have to stay
away from it. Something is hardto grasp, but if you grasp it,
you know what the rewards are,and that's something you have to weigh
and measure and look at these decisionsin a vacuum. To that end,
he says the Vikings feel like theyhave options when it comes to selecting a
quarterback, and that there are multiplequarterbacks they are in love with in this

(23:57):
draft. Interesting in love with?Huh? See, this is what makes
the time of year so crazy,because information comes out about certain prospects,
and multiple teams say they are inlove with certain guys, and some teams
will even say that they don't likea certain guy. He's not the high

(24:19):
on their draft board, hoping thoseteams who are really buying for him would
just say, you know what,why did this particular team decide to turn
sour on this particular player. They'redoing it so they can select the guy
when they want to select him.So let's see what actually happens and how
this plays out. Yeah, Ido believe that Minnesota has multiple quarterbacks they
are interested, and I know theyhave a preference, but I think that

(24:41):
there's multiple guys they would be okaywith in this particular situation. I do
believe they're going to try to tradeup to be the third team selecting a
quarterback in this draft. We'll seehow that works out for them or kill
out from the Rashi Rice racing scenario, I want to rest world was issued
for chief wide receiver Rashi Rice forhis part in the multi vehicle car crash
and Dallas this week. A warrantwas also issued for Teddy Knox. SMU

(25:03):
announced on Thursday they're aware of thematter and that Knox has been suspended from
the team. The two cars linkedto Rice were speeding on an expressway and
Dallas lost control, touched off acrash that wound up including four other cars.
Six occupants of both cars left thescene of the crash before authorities arrived.
Knox and Rice are both charged withsix counts of collision including body injury,
one count of collision involving serious bodilyinjury, and one account of aggravated

(25:26):
assault as a result of a crashthat resulted in two people being taken to
the hospital. So SMU has suspendedTeddy Knox. The chiefs have not yet
levied a punishment on Rashi Rice.We expect a suspension there. If it
is, it is going to bea very limited suspension. And I'm thinking
that this is going to be asuspension of maybe she's Rice. How many

(25:48):
driving privileges. Well, when youthink about Teddy Knox, I mean Rashi
Rice is already in the league.He's getting a little money a little change.
He just won a championship. Butif you are not, this might
have deriilled your potential draft status.So once again we got to think about
the decision we make in light.But this decision now affects two guys and

(26:10):
everyone else who was involved in thecrash. Yeah, I mean, just
because you got a Lamba at corvettedoesn't mean you need to get out on
the freeway and race them. Theygot right, They got tracks for that
too. Yes, they assume five. Another former receiver, in this case
a former receiver. He's in troublewith the law. Former Seahawks receiver Ricardo
Lockette was arrested in Atlanta. Accordingto book booking records obtained by Fox five

(26:33):
that are in Atlanta, Lockett,who is thirty seven years old. They
just charges a possession of a firearmduring the commission or attempt to commit a
felony, possession of a vehicle withan altered then, and theft by receiving
stolen property. He sided with theSeahawks and twenty eleven played all his games
with the team before a serious neckinjury ended his career. In twenty fifteen.
He had breached tinse with the Ninersand Bears as well. Was on
the Seahawks championship team and finished hiscareer with twenty two catches four fifty one

(26:56):
to four touchdowns. He also madeseven catches for one on nine in six
career postseason games. He earned inductioninto the Hall of Fame the Boys and
Girls Club of Albny, Georgia intwenty nineteen and serves as a player advisor
for the Harvard Football Player's Health Study, a research program aimed at improving safety
of football for players. According toFox five, sounds like a lot of

(27:18):
trouble for Ricardo Lockett. They've gota booking photo out on all that he
was one of the people. Interestinglyenough, back in twenty fourteen, you
remember when somebody was alleging that QuintonPatton and Colin Kaepernick had committed sexual misconduct,
if he was the third person whowas investigated at that No charges were
filed against any of the players backin twenty fourteen. Just an interesting story

(27:41):
from somebody who, by all accounts, had been involved in nothing but good
things since his departure from the NFL. Well, this is interesting because earlier
this week, says you mentioned theHarvard football players health study. I actually
received that email from locked yes aboutmaking sure that guys were knowledgeable about this

(28:07):
Harvard football players health studies. Sothis is kind of like a interesting news
to see this happen. But forme, I hate to see any current
a former player find themselves in thistype of situation. Earlier this week,
we had what was it, theformer I guess Ravens sucks real in the

(28:30):
Starbucks Bucks drive you a gun?Yes, I guess that the least gangster
place that you could pull a gun. Come on, man, it's just
like, what are we doing?But yes, yes, you mean the
large congratulations you're stupid. Yeah,but this is just uh, it's tough
to see this happen. Let's justhope, miss me being optimistic, that

(28:52):
they are able to work out thesituations and they don't really go any further
than this. SI you started toshow close it as well. The passing
of OJ Simpson at the age ofseventy six prompted many different reactions. It
is impossible to remember his life withoutacknowledging the thing for which, unfortunately he's
best known, but the Pro FootballHall of Fame managed to kind of do
the impossible today, issuing a lengthypress release that focused solely on his football

(29:15):
career, pointed to his second careerin acting and broadcasting, and took great
pains to point out that he's enshrinein Canton solely for his on field contributions,
without mentioning any of the things thathappened later. It was kind of
unclear to me why they decided notto make reference to that or any of
that. But I felt like thepress release they did was kind of I
mean, it was tastefully done.I just I'm not sure it was that

(29:37):
the tiding of it was necessarily theway to go and pretending why that,
you know, why it didn't happenthe things with which he was tried for,
either acquitted or convicted of. Atthe end of the day, are
we okay with the Pro Football Hallof Fame and shrining people for what they
did on the field and ignoring whatthey did off I'm gonna say yes,
because that is what it's about.It's not one of those social type of

(30:03):
awards where you enshrine someone for thingsthey did socially. Because there are a
couple of people who've been I guessenshrine in the Hall of fame who have
just very question with things and doingtheir career. So for me, the
idea of honoring guy based on whathe did on the field, I think
that's kind of important. And Iknow a lot of individuals don't like the

(30:23):
fact of, you know, ProFootball Hall of Fame or anyone else who
knew O. J. Simpson tospeak of him in that way because they
want everyone to remember the thing thatwe don't want to remember. But I
think it's great because he was anamazing athlete, did some outstanding things on
the collegiate level. To acknowledge that, I think it's deserving to do that

(30:47):
because he did do that himself.Which brings me to my next question.
Should Darren Sharper be considered for theHall of Fame? He's been eligible?
Peter King said, Hall of Famevoting committee has to consider them because they're
prohibited from taking all field issues intoaccounts. William and Mary removed him from
their Hall of Fame. But theNFL or the Pro Football rather Hall of
Fame, should Darren Sharper be inthere? Being in Probably not. He

(31:11):
probably doesn't get in, but youknow he's going to be considered because of
his accolades, and then you leaveit up to the number of people in
the room. I think TV saidthat maybe, but forty forty two people
in the room, you let themkind of decide that. But your job
is to talk about what that playerdid on the field. But you can't

(31:33):
help but see that others who arevoting, they're going to allow those other
outside things to kind of filter in. Yeah, and I don't want to
get all the stuff. Sharper andyou can read about that. He is
scheduled to be released in twenty twentyeight from from prison. As far as
that kind of stuff goes five six, six, ten zerols. The text
line, somebody's saying that whoever wonthe ice Keep tickets yesterday said they haven't
received an email yet. You wantto follow up on that, Yeah,

(31:56):
that'll probably be next week since theconcerts next weekend, Okay, And then
I'm also asking did you get ourice Cube tickets? I'm getting us up
a four pack, right, justmaking sure, Yeah, we did the
six pack. We need the fourpick four pack. Who's the fourth I
don't know, we'll find something.Okay. By the way, the guy
who won the tickets yesterday is thevoicer of the comrade Edwards talk back.
Yes, fantastic, and I believehe left one on ice Cube like a

(32:20):
year ago. I can't remember exactlywhat he said. I didn't save it,
but if you can send another one, please do. I think I
remember that. I vaguely recall somereference to ice Cube being on there,
so too. That's a full circlesymmetry moment. Yes, we have the
tickets afterwards, try for those hereon BCT. There's a whole debate raging
on the text line about multimeal beingbetter than oatmeal. What the hell is

(32:42):
multimeal? You never had multimeal?This is your chili mac thing again?
Man, multiple whiles are real chilimac and multimeal are real things. They're
real things. So who real people? Multipiles like a whole brand? I
know oatmeal? Yeah, what thehell is multimeal? Malt o'meal? Oh
it is molt old neil. I'msorry, Yeah, multi meal? What's

(33:04):
a brand? But they get likeall kinds of stuff. Now, they
got like cereals all that, butit's it's a hot cereal. It's like
oatmeal. I don't I don't knowwhat that is. I don't know why
you've never seen it before. Look, hair, you never seen multimeal before.
I've never seen what is this?White people think? Am I wrong?
I think it's a way I've neverseen that. Man, this is
gonna be another way to have thisto date again. It's gonna be the

(33:27):
lost cloth all over again. I'venever seen this before. I mean,
you lost me with the damn chilimag because all that is hamburger helper.
But now there's multiple meal. No, it's oatmeal, right that that guy
that's on the box, you knowyou have, yes guy, Yes,
that's that's old Neal. Oh mygoodness, disaster. I can't wait.

(33:51):
If it doesn't fit, you don't, must have quit something that crack
