GMFB Thursday Hour 2: Is Darnold or Carr a cooler story? Packers S Xavier McKinney joins!

Published Sep 19, 2024, 5:51 PM

Hour Two of the Good Morning Football Podcast begins with hosts Jamie Erdahl, Kyle Brandt, Peter Schrager and Akbar Gbajabiamila answering a Throwdown Thursday question - is Sam Darnold or Derek Carr the cooler story after two weeks? They go through their survivor picks this week and then Packers safety Xavier McKinney joins the show and talks about how Jordan Love looks in practice, he shares what makes their head coach special, and then he weighs in on Packers center puking before he snapped the ball to Malik Willis. 

Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio good Morning Football.

Hey, everybody, welcome inside our show. It's called Good Morning Football. We're live as always in Los Angeles. This is akbar bos B and Milla. That's Peter Schreger, that's Kyle Brent. We are presented by our favorite meet in the Bag, Old Trapper, beef Jerky.

I'm still going to run that by.

I should call corporate, I should call Old Trap our friends at Old Trapper is it?

Are you cool with me saying meet in the bag? That's a great description of it.

Well, salt me. It's great protein. I know Kyle's big Old Trapper fan.

Yeah, and not a huge meet in a bag fan.

I just it's not I don't think it's the most appetizing way to say it. I remember, And there's something about Mary nineteen ninety eight. Ben Still There has a conversation with Cameron Diaz about you don't see a lot of meats in a cone, and that's says I meet in a cone. And I think this is the line deliberately written because it sounds gross. Old Trapper is a beautiful product that I think just deserves better than meeting the bag.

Can we shout out Dennis the kabab guy though, because he'll be working on He's in the parking lot every the e lot at the Jets MetLife Stadium every week.

Dennis the kabob Guy. I'd love to try one there.

That would be nice, not to.

Be computable owl off the hot dish vendor at a Vikings game. That happens too, and we're working a lot of Minnesota. Speaking of the Vikings, their quarterback Sam Darnold has led them to a surprising two and oh start, with big wins against the Giants and the forty nine ers and their head coach Kevin O'Connell. He had some high praise thus far for his starting quarterback.

The amount of work that goes into that position on your quarterback journey, when everybody decides that you cannot play. We always believed in them, and uh, well, awesome to watch him go do that thing. So I'm really proud of Sam Darnold, as.

You should be. Derek Carr's got to be pretty proud of himself. The way the Saints have started out.

The quarterback has ignited the Saints offense that has put up ninety one points in their first two wins, first against the Panthers, second against the Cowboys's kind of a cool parallel because you're thinking Giants Panthers for Viking Saint sweet Wine, eh, but to beat up on the forty nine Ers and the Cowboys.

Now we're really looking at these two teams.

So the thirty three year old veteran that's Car ranks first in the league with one hundred and forty two plus passer rating and sits second amongst all quarterbacks with nearly seventy seven completion percentage. It's a lot of numbers, but the point is it's been pretty impressive for.

Derek Car to start.

It's time for.

Rowdown Thursday, second hour on a Thursday here on GMFB. There's some robots punching each other and then oh well, bamble, somebody falls down. All right, cooler story two weeks into the season. Guys, is it Sam Darnald Peter or is it Derek Carr?

Look? I love both these stores. I think that Derek Carr story might be a.

Little cooler though, because I think a lot of people wrote off his entire team. No one talked about the Saints all summer, everyone talked about the Falcons got so hot and they're the team because of who they brought in, and the Saints were kind of like left for dead and here we are. They're the best offense in football ninety.

One points through two weeks.

And the Derek Carr story specifically, it was like, are they eventually gonna move on from Derek Cark. No, they actually gave him more guaranteed money this offseason.

They doubled down on Derek Carr.

And I want to shout out our producer here in New York, a'man and because he brought me some really interesting, I don't know, geopolitical news based on Derek Carr.

Yeah, we're going to go there.

Sports.

Yeah, no, we're not sticking of sports. MSNBC, Fox News take note on this. Okay, it's his courtesy of the Titoker Finesse West.

So we're also hitting that quadrant of the next generation.

Derek Carr and his career has put up his best numbers during election years.

Let's go back to twenty sixteen with the Raiders.

Car had twenty eight touchdowns and six interceptions.

Three down years.

Then twenty twenty with the Raiders twenty seven touchdowns, nine interceptions, and he had a quarterback career rating.

That was as high as it got.

And now another election year, twenty twenty four, Derek Carr has put up ninety one points for the Saints and they are the most high flying offense in football.

Now.

I don't know much about the election. I don't know much about politics. Certainly aren't gonna hear my thoughts right here on this stage. But I do know this, every four years, Derek Carr is the man, and I'm going with him as my better story this week.

I love it. I love the political tie in. That was pretty cool.

That was saying he danced around it.

Actually, I'm not talking fracking.

I promise you that. No, yeah, no fracking, no prac.

But I will tell you who is definitely drilling it down right now. To me, it's Sam Dice, Sam Darnell. To me, the story is so cool because you think about it, this dude was left as and seen as a pariah. I mean, and why because he couldn't win with the Jets when he was there with his best wide receiver back then was Braxton Barrios. I mean, like, what was he supposed to do? I mean, if you look at the lineup of what he had, he had guys like Robbie Anderson. Of course, now Robbie chosen. He had Jermaine Kurrs, Like, who were the guys he were throwing to. Now you put him in a situation where he can do things like that right there, throwing to Justin Jefferson. He has an offensive line that can throw from him, like, we're getting to see the real Sam Donald. Will the real Sam Donald please stand up? And we're seeing him and going like, I like this dude. Whereas on the other side, you know, yes, there were some struggles with Derek Carr, but he had some pretty decent teams. He had some pretty decent guys. Things didn't turn around. He had some guys and we said during the political years and all that stuff, you know, he had some upticks, but at least he had somebody to throw it to. At least he had a line that could CAUSI protect for him.

He didn't have that. Sam Donald didn't have that. So I think he's the cooler store like man. I like this guy, Sam Donald.

He's the man We're gonna see two and oh, okay, you know it's.

Not a huge compliment to Derek Carry. He's really gonna be four. Yeah, it's a long time, but I listen.

I think it's Sam Donald because since Sam Donald entered the league, all I have ever heard every single coach loves them. You need anybody he's played with and Shanahan back, Todd Bowles is a rookie now, it's like they're all like, Sam's demand, Sam's deman. Jordan Palmer is always out there saying Sam Donald's demand, Sam Donald's the man, and then he goes out there, doesn't doesn't like play very well.

You're like, you, guys, what the heck.

It's like, it's like this movie that all the critics love, but then you watch it, you're like, what the hell? This is boring and slog It's like it's Sam Donald's the English Patient, Like it's supposed to be the greatest movie ever, and yet when.

You finally turn it on this year, you're.

Like, Okay, Juliette, but no shit, doing something here right?

Finds can cook? I actually why not?

Kristen Scott Thomas on Fuego, it's actually pretty cold. Maybe the critics are right, and maybe he does that to do with the supporting cast. There's been so many apologists for Sam Donald for years because the fans are like, I kind of we're over it. He doesn't play well, and the coaches are like, we insist he's the man. Guys, he's too and O he looks fantastic. I think it's a really improbable, cool story. Derek Carr, We've had him for years and years.

He is what he is. He is what he isn't it's Sam Donald for sure?

For me, I'm still mind blown that Peter is referencing TikTokers in his take. And to bring a full circle, you mentioned Braxton Barios dating one of the most famous TikTokers right now, so we're just coming Alex Alex Earl.

Here we go, there's a shock, let's go.

It's been a challenging week for the Titans a couple weeks. Actually, their quarterback Will Levis. First his shovel pass which led to an interception on Sunday. Then get this, his phone number gets leaked via social media and now fans and people have access to it.

And I don't think they're calling with praise. Take a listen.

Thing I'm actually doing today.

I get a new phone number, I don't know how my number got out there to the fans, but I got kind a lot of texts, so that'll be nice to shut that part of the life behind me.

And I have an open social.

In the last couple of weeks, so uh yeah, I just think that's the healthiest way to go about it. And they don't want to or care to see any things that people say about me, and I'm just gonna keep chugging along regardless of what they say. So yeah, but it sucks that the world is the way that it is, and looking forward to having some privacy.

First of all, we'll love us. That does suck. I'm sorry that your phone number got it does It's terrible story it is. It's brutal. He's getting a new one, though, and you can you can.

Be more selective about who gets your phone number and who gets to contact you.

Is it bad if I'm just a little curious as to what they were sending him, I'm just I think you.

Can imagine by his body language in his tone, you can yeah, you can probably imagine if it was like all love and praise to be like, keep it coming. I'm not going to change my number, all right, But that's a very cleansing thing to do. Now he gets to just decide mom, dad, significant other. You're the only people, coach, the only people that get my phone. It's a very purifying behavior, if you will. I kind of let us down the path for the second topic for Thrownout Thursday, there are people that engage in a twenty four hour fast, no water and no food. You're resetting the system. Is that the more purifying behavior? Or is it to fully log off social media for an extended period of time?

Peter? Where do you go?

All right, I'm going to break the fourth wall bring into my life here. And I know we have an entire social media department that is that is awesome and they are great and they drive traffic to our show.

But I got hacked this summer and.

At my Twitter they were selling MacBook pros from my It was horrifying, it was. But because of that, I couldn't log back in for the entire month of July up until training camp.

It was the greatest thing in the world.

I didn't have to see any of your political thoughts. I'd'd have to hear any of your thoughts on the Bear season three. I was just in my own world. I actually got to meet my family for the first time. It was wonderful. It was one wonderful to not have to check that phone all day. So I'm gonna say this, there is a use and there is definitely some positives to social media. I wouldn't know who Alex Earl is if I wasn't on social.

Media, but I will tell you this, it's.

Actually pretty nice to take a break from it as well. Now let's get back to our phones and stare at them all day long, because that's what we do in our professions.

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love it, you know what. I'm right there with you. I agree. I believe that logging off of social media it's like turning off your airplane, your airplane mode when you're in the plane. It's like cutting off your mind to the outside world. The higher you climb, the higher you fly, Why, because you get to really be more in tune with yourself. Now, I think there's some benefits to doing the fast, the twenty four hour fast, but the next day you eating it right again, I'm whatever the burger or whatever it is that you're eating. So I'm going to go with the social media logging off that stuff is toxic, it's poison, or as Jarvis Langery would say, it's contagious, contagious broth.

Wh nice callback to Jarvis Landry's I remember that in the two thousands, people were doing this lemon and cayenne pepper.

And molasses fast. I did that for like twelve days. Terrible and at the end you chug saltwater and you won't believe what that does to your body. It's like you have a jet pack on. It's nuts.

I did that before. It's absolutely terrible. I have to tell you, guy, I don't even know if you know this. I've started a new practice over the last couple of months. Every single Friday, I literally delete Instagram from my phone. I delete it and then I bring it back on Sunday morning. Yeah, because it's got its clause in me.

It's this little thing.

If I go on, Instagram has curated every single thing that I like to look at in my life, and it.

Just has endless videos of it.

So it's like, oh my god, there's my favorite band, and there's my favorite athlete, and there's my favorite model, and there's it's like whoever, it's just there. How am I supposed to look away from that. I can't do it, So I on Friday after the show delete the app, and then when I sit down to watch games on Sunday, I reinstall the app and seazy, it's all your log and stuff and all your studings are already there every single weekend because I'm sitting there and I'm sitting on the couch and my beautiful children.

Are walking up to me like like, Oliver.

Twist, please, father, please play with us, and I'm like, hold on a second, I'm watching Metallica in nineteen ninety one on the Black Album Tour. Just just go play with yourself. It's pathetic and I'm shamed and I'm a fiend Clorette highlights. I have no watch so I was amazing in college my seven year old daughter.

I can't do it, so I delete it. And I would just say to Will Levis, like, if you win this weekend, don't go put it back in.

You know what I'm saying, Like, now that you've pulled out, don't go back and pull back in and install it again and start looking at all this again.

Once you're out, just stay out.

I feel like I have to have Instagram for my job because there's just things we post in interactive you learn stuff.

But I'm out.

I can't trust myself not to click. I'm deleted it. I'm out. I can't do it every weekend. I'll do it tomorrow.

Is harming, Kyle when your kids know what you're doing too, Like they reach a certain age and they're like, are.

You watching those videos again?

And like they start to acknowledge this is a very specific question, do Kyle, because this.

Is a callback to March. We're on the show I am Super.

Pregnant and I'm getting kicked, so like the baby's kicking me, and Kyle asked me very straight up during We're going to commercially, He's like, is the baby coming?

Is it happening?

And it became this really funny moment. We're all laughing off our chairs. This is this great moment. My daughters want to see that video every.

Day they go.

They say, go to Instagram and show me that guy that makes you laugh so hard. I'm like, why do you know the word Instagram? This is really concerning. It's probably an indictment on my parenting. So it does once you inch towards the kids knowing what you're doing on the phone, then you should probably want to.

Yeah, Jamie, I hear you, and you want to see like you want to see the worst hypocritical parent in the twenty four twenty twenty four like this, Get off the screens, guys, go outside and play he get away from me, Get away from me, Get off your dumbs. This is amazing. Get off the screens. Go ahead and play basketball. Goes, just come home when the lights get dark out. Yeah, I have to be on I'm doing this for work.

And they're really like, who's she? I no, it's this is this is for work, all right, that's parents and hey, that is like I raise my hand.

I do the same thing. And my son I see her twelve years old. You're like, dad, what are you on social media? Get off of social media. It's not good for your brain.

Because you say, oh man, you.

Know what's even worse, Jamie. You know when they ask you, can we go can you do this?

Can you do this? Go ask mommy?

Go ask mommy, And then they go over to mommy and she's on her phones on her Yeah, it's terrible. Hand up. I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed. I'm hell a shamed. It seems pretty simple.

All you have to do is pick one team that's gonna win and give an NFL weekends. No points, spreading, no nothing, just this team will win by one or by thirty, a doesn't matter. And yet it gets so complicated, never more so than when my colleague Peter Schrager attempts to do this in Week one. Every single year he gets it wrong and Peter becomes extinguished.

Remind us, why again, Peter, I.

Took the Patriots to lose to the Bengals in Cincinnati.

I could have sworn Joe.

Burrow as this superhuman and Jamar Chase.

Now it's dunk, yes, wrong.

The Bengals still haven't won again. No, so Peter is out week one, as usually is. The idea is you go into week six, Week seven, week eight. All you have to do is pick a winner. It doesn't they don't have to cover or anything. It should be pretty easy. So we all got through week one. By we all, I mean Jamie and Ackbar and myself. And then we get to week two and here's what happened.

This is survival, all right.

So I lost another one of these survivor pools on the ship.

You think I'm crying about it now, having to deal with that craft the rest of the season.

I'm free.

Peter is really good at picking the Super Bowl winner, just to ask him, but he is awful at this. My pick for week two, as I'm pulling up the schedule this, I'm not going to think very long about this one.

I got Baltimore at home against the Raiders.

The Raiders jumped to Baltimore and they beat the Ravens twenty six, twenty three.

But he is awful at this.

Hey, that's all I'm saying. You talked that smack. I wasn't even there to defend myself. I watched a clip talking about eighteen subtle jabs at me while he's wearing some shirt that's like a slogan from a movie that wasn't that great.

It was that's all right, I don't know's it's all right?

And then Kyle Kyle craps the bed and he picks the Rivens, who also crapped the bed and gave up a ten point lead in the fourth quarter, which leaves us two.

Week three, let's go hearing out, so my flame is out. Here's the weird thing is like, I regret nothing. I feel like I made the right pick, you know what I mean? Like Baltimore at home, they barely lost the Chiefs week one, they're playing the Raiders. I wouldn't have done anything differently. That's just the way survival works. It's not about me anymore. It is about the two hosts we have in south central Los Angeles.

Let's go to Jamie and Ochbar. Here's the deal.

Guys, you are the only ones alive going into week three. You can pick any team to win this weekend, save for the two teams that you.

Have already picked. Once you pick a team, they're out.

So last week, Jamie, I remember you picked the Chargers to go into Carolina and when.

Yes, and they did.

You can't pick the Chargers anymore, as well as the team you picked week one, which was Seattle. Achbar, you can't pick Tampa and you can't pick Houston. But you guys can pick thirty other teams because we're only in week three. Here's how it's gonna work. I have cards right here, one of them, says Jamie. One of them says Akbar. Whichever card I hold up randomly, they will get the first pick, which is critical.

Here.

Let me go here to my cars, my single, so I can hold this up very dramatically.

The first pick right there please will be I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait. There we go. The first pick will.

Be I'm.

Me uh you are on the clock.

Okay, okay, So I can't do Tampa, I can't do Houston.

This is okay, cool?

Well, okay, cool, you're stressing stressing out, Peter.

Who did you go with before?

Okay, okay, can't ask Peter.

But you know what, Peter, you got this thing that you do with all this stuff from the past and all this other kind of stuff.

This has nothing to do with my pick.

But I just think that that's a cool trait that you have.

I just wanted to give that a shut.

Out looking for the compliment.

I really like you too. Absolutely.

I am going to go with a team that is oh and too against a very young quarterback who has not thrown his first touchdown yet in jayde and Daniels. I'm going to go with the Cincinnati Bengals oh and two wow, yeah yep. And I'm going to wait till Monday so I can kind of just Monday Night football Monday Night Football. Yeah, well of all command yes, yeah, of all the games.

Because the Bengals wronged Peters so fiercely in the first week, and yet.

You still have to back to that.

It just feels like that's where you're supposed to go. They're going to be They're gonna be angry.

Man.

You know.

Four hours of TV that we do every day. We want these segments that are kind of easy. Their layups to ling no longer. I don't want to beat you in week three, but now I have to. Okay, wow, I was going to okay, I like to do this. I was going to take you to Monday Night Football as well. I was considering the Jaguars going to Buffalo, and now I kind of want to do it because it feels fun to be stressed out all weeknd to see if this segment will continue.

I was I was looking at.

The Injury Bowl, the forty nine ers at the Rams, but that feels dangerous as well. I'm gonna go Baker Mayfield. I'm going the Bucketeers.

This is the pick.

Buccaneers at home. Thank you, Broncos in town. Baker, take care of business, ock Bar.

I look forward to winning.

Oh wow, wow, can I get my camera here? Please?

No, we have ten seconds?

Go okay, I.

Will I will break you. That's it.

Cincinnati Bucks, Cincinnati oh and two at home on Monday Night football against Washington Jamie Tampa at home against Denver. I think it's certainly the chalk pick and the right one. But Peter and I don't get to comment any who's Carolina playing?

What do you bet? One?

Questions?

So we can't do that to Carolina every year.

Downfield, well, they can layer in rpo game like we just saw, and they have a dominant offensive line in the run game.

That's a good combination.

Richardson floating too, Tome.

Xaver McKenney two games with the trackers and two under sections. Boy Walker brought the pressure. McKinney was the beneficiary on the vacand.

Don't leave that ball floating up there too long. Xavier and McKinney will come out of the vacuum and snatch it.

And that's our.

Next guest here. He's in his first season in Green Bay. He's got, as he said, two picks in two games with this new team.

What's up?

What's up man?

Man? I'm good, I'm good.

It's an early morning for me, so I'm still just kind of waking up a little bit.

Okay, well enough with this tiny mic social media segment. We're going large mic with Xavier McKinny. That's how we're going to do this whole interview here on GMFB Xavior. What's happening? So the hoodie it led me to my first question. The last time you were on our show, we love having you in the studio. We got to run it back when in the offseason we talked fashion. So I'm from the Midwest, I get it. What's shopping been like for you in preparation of your first Green Bay winter? I don't want to hear about Oh I was in New York. It's the same is not the same. You need different kind of cold weather gear and we're going to start with that hoodie.

So what's it been like prepping.

Yeah, it's definitely been a lot different.

Obviously there's not as many, you know, shops and places to go. But I've kind of been using all my old stuff. I kind of had some stuff in.

The archives that I've brought out that I haven't really worn.

So I got to get some bigger coats, though I have like, no big coats right now, so I know I'm not really prepared. I'm gonna start. I know, I know you trying to get ahead of it before it gives me.

Yeah, you need a big coat, but specifically a bigger size to put all the hoodies on underneath the coat.

That's the key.

So uh, that's for a couple months from now.

Let's talk about this weekend.

Your quarterback, Jordan Love brutal to see what happened to him in Brazil. Now all of a sudden, he's hopeful to return on Sunday. He practiced on Wednesday. Now, I know you're on the other side of the ball, but you got to be pretty close to your quarterback watching him operate.

How's Jordan Love look this week?

And he looks good.

Obviously, he's still preppering and doing all the things he needs to do to prepare, you know, and for us, we just support him.

With anything that's kind of going on.

And for us as a team, obviously, we're just trying to prepare for the weekend, be ready for this team on Sunday.

So that's really kind of what.

Has been We have a standard that you know, we try to hold ourselves too, and every day we come into the building practice wise, you know, in the meetings, we try to make sure that we're upholding that standard and making sure that we're preparing ourselves the right way.

All right.

So we had you on the show last year, former Giants captain. They let you walk in free agency, you get to Green Bay, you get that money as you deserved. And then this thing happens with Law as Jamie's are alluding to, and it's like the season's done.

Jordan loves Hurt.

And then last week, you guys go out there and.

You run the crap out of the ball.

You stop Indianapolis every way they can, and you guys find a way to beat the Colts. I give out a Coach of the Week award each week on this show. I gave it to Matt Laflora. I said, the fact that this team held their head high and one with Malik Willis three weeks into his tenure there was pretty miraculous.

Did you guys feel pretty good going into that game?

And just how good was that game plan from not only coach Laflora, but coach Hafley as well.

Yeah, I mean we felt great, you know, as a team, We felt like we had a great week of practice.

We had a great week of prep.

And like I said, like for us, it doesn't really matter you know, who's in there. We all try to we all prepare the same way, and we try to make sure that you know, whoever you know has to go in the game, you know when that's next man up, and so we try to make sure that there's never you know, any falloffs. Like I said, we to keep standard and we had a great week of prep and uh, you know, and I'm doing the same thing this week. But I think, you know, big credit to the coaches for being able to get us prepared for the week, and obviously the guys putting in the work to make sure that you know, they had to do they had to do individually to be prepared for the week. So I think in total, just as a whole and as a you know, as a team, I think we got we did a great job last week, and we just plan to you know, do the same thing this week.

Yeah, the coaches have done a great job. Xavier U both offensively defensively, you guys, and you particularly are off to a great start with two interceptions, I mean interceptions in both games.

That's amazing.

This defense actually leads the league and takeaways, Like, how are you feeling with this matchup against the Titans, especially coming off of your first home game win? Are you guys gonna not only well, I'm gonna just ask you straight up. You're looking for another interception in this one? You think you guys you have the tape on on Levis Uh?

Yeah, man, like every week, you know, that's my my plan. I plan on, you know, getting an interception every week. So you know, I think I've done a great job with preparing myself and you know, just trying to get certain tips you know, of their offense and obviously Will Levis uh trying to create an opportunity for for me to even get an interception.

I try to make sure I do that every week.

But yeah, man, I'm trying to keep this thing going, keep this thing rolling. Obviously, there are you know, really big things that I want to do this year, and you know, I think I've done a great job of just having a fast start and I plan to kind of keep that thing rolling.

You have had a great start, You've had a great season already.

It's two games and we've also waited this far into the interview to ask for the most important topics.

Maybe I just hope you're ready for us. It's kind of a big deal.

Your teammate center Josh Myers vomited all over the football in the middle of the game last week. He's full on ready to snap it, and this dude unloads an entire payload of puke all over the ball, through which Malik Willis told Matt Leafloor, I didn't want to throw it and couldn't throw it because the.

Whole ball was covered in barf. Have you seen this? Has the team gotten a hold of this? What do they think?

Because I have a follow up question, but tell us, does the team know about that this happened?

Yeah, so we actually watched it in the team meeting.

Highlights of the game, and I didn't know that you know that actually happened until I think after the game.

But we talked about the team and I was like, yeah, that's crazy.

I don't like we was talking about it, and you know, if I was in league, I probably.

Would have just dropped.

To be honest with you, I think I think I think he barely missed the ball, like he threw up and like he did it, you know, away from the boss. I don't know how much he got on the ball, but we did see Malik wipe his hand a little bit.

So I'm glad that I wasn't in that situation because I'm all.

Right, well, not yet.

Here's a question for you, Okay, Titans center Lloyd Cushion Berry the third it's a third and nine, it's in the third quarter, let's say, and you're just getting your you're lined up, you're kind of looking at the quarterback, looking at the offense, and you happen to notice that right before the snap, he pukes all over the ball and saturates the ball with his vomit. Will Levis throws one in your direction that maybe you could pick off.

Would you have any hesitation knowing that this is a barfball coming away?

Barfball?

That's that's a that's a good point. You made a good point. I'm probably gonna catch those show, so I'm not gonna need a question.

Now what I need? I need all the ones I can get.

Are you gonna do the Dion Sanders and put like the ball in your face like.

I gonna do that? I might just go down, just get the playover with.

That's the one.
