Hot Takes Week

Welcome to the solid verbal. I'm that for me, I'm a man, I'm forty.

I've heard so many players say, well, I want to be happy, you want to be happy for Dake Edith state is that?

Whoo whoom? And now then and Tye, welcome back to the solid verbal. Boys and girls. My name is ty Hildebrand. Joining me is always over there back in New York City, my man Dan Ruberstein, Sir, how are you?

Is this one of the latest solid verbals we've ever recorded outside of a post national championship situation?

Wow? It is nine to forty Eastern time on my clock right now. It's certainly one of the later shows world. Man, we don't usually stay up this late on.

A school night, so this will either go to a punchy place or hopefully you're listening to this as you go asleep and we just drift off with you to coast.

Figured i'd give you a little extra pause there. Yeah, for sure. No, I like that.

I like the runway you gave me. No, it is certainly one of the later shows we've done, and I'm actually pretty happy about it because I was able to fill my belly, so I can't I can't say I'm hungry went to You've never been to this place? I don't think Prince Street Pizza in Manhattan in New York, I have not. It's the best square slice in New York. Nice, it totally completely has went there with our pal Andy Staples. He's in town for the SI NFL Draft Show. I'm

That's right, that's right, not like the greatest college and somebody, yeah, can speak truth with the power, because the Giants are totally drafting Daniel Jones and it's gonna bother.

Me, but it's oh, that's gonna be a rough pick. If that happens, that's gonna happen. Everybody's listening to this after the facts, Oh yeah, wow, what a what a pick? It's gonna happen. Man, I can field in my bones. I'm sorry that take exists within your brain.

I no, wow, I can't get rid of it.

We have a special show tonight, though. We have a special show tonight.

So, as we said last week, we're not going to do the thing where we invite a draftnick on the program and say who's going to go third in the draft. A lot of folks do that. There's nothing wrong with doing that. We have done that for umpteen years running now. But the problem with that is nobody really wants to go on the record with where guys are going to get drafted because they know the overwhelming majority of their predictions will be rendered moot in the span of about

Yeah, by the way, there's a lot after that. Like, I am very curious about you hear about Nick Saban opening up, you know, rolling out the red carpet for NFL scouts, because why wouldn't he You know, it looks great when Alabama produces all these NFL players. I'm curious the relationship and how scouts operate within the college football world. I think that's fascinating.

Tonight, we're doing hot takes, Dan, We're doing hot takes now for those who have listened to the program since two thousand and eight when we first got this whole operation started. Neither you nor I are particularly hot Takesie. This isn't like Wip and Philly, Okay. We're trying to do a show that entertains from the college football perspective, but at the same time offers real factual insight into what's going on, sometimes better than others.

Also a fashion advice for husky gentlemen, don't forget that that's a corner that is part of our show. Thanks to Andy, tonight.

We're gonna get a little bit more controversial than usual. If you want to call it that, we're going to kick it up or not kick it up a little bit. A little bit here, I've got some other sounds that we might play, depending on the spiciness of the take. We did go out on Twitter at saliverbo where of course you can always find us and follow us and join the log and all the college football fun. We did a little bit of crowdsource seem to see what

I don't even know if our takes are nearly well. We had envisioned giving our twenty nineteen takes when we were doing our haphazard planning of this show, and then you opened it up to the verballers out there the VERBALI sphere, sure, and I think theirs are better. I mean, they went in back in time. It was like nineteen ninety three Virginia was a fraud, and I was like, wait, huh,

When I go to the Thai restaurant down the road here, before I order my pad tie with chicken.

Oh, what a creative order, I know. Oh my gosh, look at this guy. It's okay, don't be straight out at shang my here.

Whenever I go to the tie restaurant, they ask me level of spice on a scale from one to five, and so I guess we could we could approach it like that. I usually go too. For those of you wondering, I do have some other sounds here that we could play as well, if we want to go through some of the ones that we got from the internet as well as some of the ones that we put together on our own. I'll agree with you that they aren't quite as good as some of the ones that I

All right, let's save that for the end. Let's just go through here in a very random fashion and just evaluate people's takes. Are you good?

Okay, I'm ready? Okay, what do we got?

Tua is slightly overrated.

To a tongue of Iloa.

Yeah, this comes to us from a a Georgia fan. I know you're shocked to hear that. Sure, Actually, I think Jake fromm is very good, but Tua is slightly overrated. I don't know what the collective rating of him is. I think he's excellent.

Tua last season, yeah, completed sixty nine percent of his passes and finished with forty three touchdowns and six interceptions. I'm not going to pretend that he didn't play on one of the best teams in college football. Of course he did. He had a ton of support around him. But on the heels of what he did in the National championship game against Georgia, that game, you remember that game, that second half game, I do on the heels of him doing that to come out this past season was

Twenty fourteen TCU would have won the National championship had they made the playoff. If you remember, this is the fifty one to forty eight year with Baylor.

Right.

So the twenty fourteen TCU team, Trevon Boykin I believe was their starting quarterback.

Yeah, right, yes, that's right.

Do they make and win? I don't think they're beating Ohio State, Probably don't. I don't even think they're beating God, are they beating sims Alabama? I don't think they are.

I don't think so. That was a really good TCU team. Though.

It was a really good TCU team. They finished. This twenty fourteen TCU team finished with the I'm going by S and P plus here, ninth overall S and P seventeenth offense, thirteenth defense. I think that's good. That Alabama team was still excellent. The Ohio State team was so strong, and the best quarterback in the country was at Oregon that year. The hes winning the heis winning QB and Marcus Mariota. I just I don't see it.

Nah, Well, you mentioned TCU and that joke.

I think that's I think it's a one point five out of five, one point five out of five.

Yeah, we'll give it the Emerald. This was a little much, A little bit ill would have been. You mentioned TCU and I want to link that up with another take that I saw coming through. We had a couple of these referencing a per motion slash relegation system in college football. How do you feel about that? Now? Of course, it's hypothetical, completely theoretical. Would drop a nuclear bomb on the existing system of college football, would effectively end the sport as

Well, you'd have to change everything. You'd have to the conferences wouldn't exist in the same way. TV deals wouldn't be structured. I'm talking about this from like an actual

Yeah. I think it solves three problems. So what we're talking about when we talk about promotion and relegation, by the way, Yeah, to give you the abridged description of what this is, it's like English soccer where they've got several divisions. The best teams are in the top division, the Premier League. The bottom I guess would be League Two.

You get a one wayland Frank Nick Saban has won his last national championship.

Wow wow.

So the evidence to that is one it's incredibly difficult to win a national championship two Clemson and Georgia talent wise, along with arguably Ohio State, although it's a different story with a new coach, so it's hard to say that, you know, everybody's on the same page. Everything is simpatico.

Hold on one second, Yeah, Georgia is surpassing Alabama.

Talent wise, not results wise. Yes, what Georgia has done these past couple of years, Yeah, I don't know if they're at those classes. You gotta do it consistently, year in and year out. For totally with you. I'm telling you right now, there are people who smart, people not me,

All right, Well, they're they're on the right track, and we.

Has Nick Saban won his last national championship? Is that a spy y take.

I don't think it's too spicy. It's not level five spicy. It's at least a three and a half. Though.

He's been attrition proof this long, with his coaches leaving year in a year out. But that doesn't last forever. It doesn't last forever. The question is how much longer is he going to coach.

I did see that he had a hip replacement and he went back to work pretty much to the next day.

Yeah, I mean hip replacements. My mother in law had one of those, and she bounced back real quick too. I don't think it's all that uncommon to recover pretty quickly.

However, it really does speak to the work ethic of Nick Saban. He clearly still enjoys the job. It's something he enjoys doing. I don't think he's won his last national championship. I think there is enough talent there to sustain him for some period of time. After what we saw last year with the Clemson loss, they're still clearly going to have a shot at this thing. They're probably going to be back in the playoff in twenty twenty.

Here is my rebuttal the two thousand and nine Texas team, and I think somebody actually had to take along these lines, like if col McCoy doesn't get hurt, if yeah, this is Robert Larkin, if col McCoy wasn't injured in the Rose bult Texas, the stains of dynasty that mirrors Alabama

I understand where people are coming from with that take. But it's how many times before has the alb the dynasty been dead.

I'm not saying it's dead. I'm saying this is not as hot as it might intend on its surface.

Okay, let me give you one of my own that this is a spicy one. And we've talked about it before. I realize in light of the tweet, we may have some new listeners to this program. Yeah, this is one of those things that every time I bring it up, you tell me I'm nuts. Every time I bring it up, other people besides you also tell me I'm nuts.

Uh huh.

I have no problem with the old fumble out of the end zone equaling a touchback rule. Why I have zero problems with that?

I know.

My theory is this, not every rule in the game of football is uniformly applied, especially when you're talking about the end zone. If you intentionally ground the football normally, it's a loss of down unless it's in the end zone, then it's a safety.

Right.

If you hold normally, it's ten yards, except when it's in the end zone, it's safety. Correct to safety, you can actually fumble the football, Dan, You can fumble the football as long as you maintain possession long enough to get the nose of the ball over the line, right, then it's six points. Anywhere else in the field that's a fumble, but down to the goal line six points. When we get down to the end zone, the rules are treated a little bit differently, but.

It just feels more like you understand why a penalty understand zone is two points. I get there's something that is that makes sense about that ruling that it's it's arbitrary because you could have just as easily say, let's move you back to the twenty, let's move you back to the ten. Let's move you back five yards behind where you fumbled it there. It's it's just an arbitrary decision as to change possession.

The end zone. Daniel just means more okay, And to that, I say, hold on to the ball if you want to score.

I don't think you're wrong for holding this position, but I think you have to sort of say, well, rules little arbitrary.

Oh I get it, I get that, but I'm okay with it. In its present state.

Nineteen ninety four Penn State would hang fifty a ninety four Nebraska. They would have won the head to head. Come holy, Now that's a deep cut, right, So is that Carrie Collins cause John Carter.

That was a good team.

They beat Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

Yep, yep. They beat Achille Smith, Your boy.

Kyle Brady, Yeah, my boy, Achille Smith. You we got Carrie, got, Bobby Ingram yeh, Joe Jura Vicious?

How about it? Man?

I think the depth of that Nebraska team was so scary, and that that specific system. I know you're not a triple option guy, Ty, but when that thing was rolling, whoo, I'd take I would I would put it at Thebraska minus five and a half and I would lay those points.

Tommy Frasier is one of the all time great college football players. Yeah, tough sell for me. That's a spicy take. I'd say, Okay, what else you got coming in?

We had one for that that was extreme. That's a four out of five, because I don't think that's happening. But whatever, what.

Did we get from our friend Joel Klatt? Dan?

Oh? Here we go up at the top one? The game clock should not stop for first downs outside of the last two minutes of each half.

Are you do you?

I go back and forth. Do you think college football game should be quicker? I don't know. I like college football. I'm okay with it the way it is the only time where it's rough to me. And this is just you know, happenstance. You get like old cal Wazoo. You get a double air raid matchup kicking off at ten thirty and you're asking me, this is Eastern time. You're asking me to stay up until three am.

Yeah, that's a tough ask.

That's a rough ask. But beyond that, with the clock stopping, with everything, what is what.

Is the issue with games taking as long as they do.

I don't know. I think people just want to move on to the next game. They just want to see they want to see the action more condensed.

Because we've been doing this for a while, I find it very rarely that people come to us, either at a live show or through email. However, and say, you know, I'd really like college but more if the games were quicker.

Right. The rent is too damn high. The games are too damn.

Long most of the time. And I'm not saying I'm against games that move quicker, but I'm just saying the argument for the quicker game has never really landed with me most of the time. Like you said, people would just want to move on to watch other college football games, right, Usually Saturday is devoted to college football.

To be fair, Joel Clyde is the one who needs to find time to pee during these long games, as he is an analyst in the booth. And I don't know how long commercial breaks are, but like if you if you were given two minutes flat where not only did you have to be back, you know, at your desk, so to speak, but you had to be on the air and talking and having high energy. Do you think you could make that work two minutes going for probably a sizeable pe.

You would think he's drinking water up there to keep Yeah, of course that's a lot of pressure.

Do you think you would be able to immediately zip and go and then on a dime turn like you're talking about like your your what your twenty yard cone drill. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's where Joel's coming from. Secretly with this.

I could probably I could probably pull that off seventy percent of the time.

Do you think there's a spit bucket? I want to know this now because there's a lot of people who say you shouldn't drink a lot of water before you go to bed so you don't wake up in the middle of the night, right, Do you think they're drinking water up there? I mean, I guess you have a longer commercial break between quarters, but you're not yourself if you got ants in your pants, tie nor. I think there's some truth behind that. Number two ineligible man downfield

I like that.

Well, we get a lot of you know, by the end of the season by November. There are a lot of comparisons. Okay, does Alabama deserve to be number one? Should be Ohio State, should it be USC? Should it be Oklahoma whoever usc That was a joke, ty, I just threw that one in there to see if people were paying attention. It generally seems to even out a lot of those top schools that we end up comparing schedule pretty well out of conference. They're not, you know,

If that makes any sense, Dan, You know what can be really frustrating.

Oh so many things. I want you to be specific, especially if you're in a hurry.

If you're running late, you find yourself stuck at a railway crossing and you're waiting for a train. You ever have that happen, was just there a few minutes ago, And if the signals are going the train's not even there yet, you feel tempted to maybe try and make it across the tracks mm HM. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NITZA says, don't ever try that, Please don't. Trains are going a lot faster than you think, and they can't stop. Even if the engineer hits the brakes.

You're only as comfortable as your feet.

Bombas b on them bas dot com. If you're like Dan and I, you think about your socks often throughout the course of the day. Why not discover the socks that change the way you'll think about socks forever. They're called Bombas. We have untless pairs of Bombus by now. They've been a longtime sponsor of the show. We like their style, their comfort, their quality. They've got a great mission where they will donate a pair for every pair bought because socks are one of the most asked for

Ty. We have a hot take here that I think is magnificent.

What do we got?

Bama doesn't want that? UMass smoke Mike low Copo locopo. Okay, this has this brings something up in my brain.

Though.

If you were to rank Alabama diehard fansy one through however many Alabama football fans there are in this world, So say there are ten million Alabama fans. Okay, Number one is the most diehard Alabama fan his or her life, fully dedicated to Alabama football, calling into radio shows, on every single message board, posters on their walls, their you know, clippings, everywhere they live eat Alabama.

So we're talking our friend Adam Abdullah from ESPN Radio Chicago.

Yeah, somebody like that, okay, And so that that person is number one and you rank them by their diehardiness all the way through ten million? Okay, Okay, how far down would you have to go to find somebody with an equal amount of passion for U MASS Football? So like, is there somebody who is as passionate about U mass Football as the eight millionth most passionate Alabama fan is about Alabama?

Like? Who is the Harvey Updyke of UNE football? And where would he rank on that?

How far down do you have to go.

On the Alabama side?

Oh my gosh, where you're just like somebody was just fricking pumped about the Mark Whipple era. They're like, this is the guy. How far down would you have to go? I maybe even percentage wise, but I'll put it out of ten million.

You would you probably have to go? I would say at least sixty down in that totem pol.

So six million ish? Yeah, you think there is somebody as passionate about U Mass Football as the six millionth most passionate Alabama fan?

I think that's right, That's how I feel. Yeah, Okay, yeah.

I tend to think that it's an arbitrary question, but there's somebody out there who has categorized and cataloged everything about UMass football throughout the years.

That's tremendous that question. Yeah, thank you very much. Here's one that came through. So we did a show. I don't know we do a show every week, but we did a show recently where we talked about where I said specifically that Alex Hornybrook was quote a massive upgrade over James Blackman, and I caught a little bit of flack on Twitter for that, I don't know, caught a little bit of from who I'd rather have quarterback in my team right now. I stay, James Blackman's gonna be

This is not unique to him, and I could imagine that this was something that may have come up when Gardner Minshew, I believe, committed to Alabama from ECU originally that you know, the prospects weren't looking good, at least set yourself up for the future. Rights That to me is not a full stretch.

I get that it's not a full stretch. In a lot of circumstances. However, Hornybrook was a guaranteed starter at Wisconsin. He was going to be the starting quarterback. He was going to be the starting quarterback.

You see the guy coming in this year.

I know he's very I know he's very good.

You see what Alex horneybro looked like last year.

I get it, I get it. I've made fun of Hornybrook for the last three years. Okay, I get it.

I'm just saying, guaranteed starter week one, Hornybrook.

Is your guaranteed starter week one to leave that situation to go to another situation where he is potentially a backup, potentially a third stringer who knows it. Just does not seem like this would be one of those situations where he'd want to leave where he was at and go somewhere else because he's trying to set himself up for a coaching career. I don't get it.

I mean, this is not so far fetched that a college football player is really smart and forward looking. I'm not so far fetched. I don't like Alex Hornibrook probably has a pretty good idea. He's not an NFL quarterback, right, so so not two birds two birds tie.

I would hope. So. By the way, people are very excited about James Blackman this year.

Okay, great, so I hope it works out for him. Where else we go, we got somebody who said that had let's see I want to get the right wording here. If Mississippi State paid Cam's father like Auburn did, they'd have a title right now.

Ooh, okay, Mississippi State didn't have Nick Fairley on that team. Did they fight?

They didn't have a make fairly, but this is still a I think they went nine and four, it looks like, including the Bowl win over Michigan. I think that was a Chris Relph team. I remember correctly, it's a pretty Goossissippi State team. Defensive coordinator Manny Diaz. It was his first year there. They let's see, they don't hang with Alabama. They barely lose to a top fifteen Arkansas in double overtime.

That was a ted Roof defense if I remember correctly, which explains a lot, actually.

Does explain a lot. And the Auburn team around Cam had talent Michael Dyer, Philip Watson, Kirk and there were guys there, but this was not a stacked team. It was a one man team in a lot of ways with Cam Newton. So I actually don't think this is super hot. National championship is a lot to say. A lot goes into that and a lot of variables, and you know, I think Auburn was probably better situated to beat Alabama than Mississippi State team with Cam. But there's

Yes, I would agree with that.

So that takes them to nine regular season wins. I would say they're probably beating Arkansas, a team they lost to in two overtimes, right, Yes, agreed, So they're now better than Arkansas. So now they're at ten regular season wins. They lost by twenty two to LSU. We know Cam Newton had arguably the game of his life against LSU, but that's certainly closer in Alabama another game of his life. They lose by twenty So can they go eleven and one sneak in? Maybe? I don't know. I think I

Okay, I don't know if I feel good about it, but a better shot for sure. Let me. Let me throw two out at you and you tell me which one is spicier. Both of these came in. We've got one that Michigan will beat Ohio State in twenty nineteen, and then we've got another that the Pac twelve will miss the playoff again in the twenty nineteen Oh my god, twenty season. Which is which is the spicy of those two takes?

Oh, Michigan beating Ohio State is way spicier.

So you're not feeling the Pack twelve making the playoff who's the Pack twelve's playoff team. I don't know. I mean there is one. I think that.

I'm saying, who is the PAC twelve's playoff team if they get one in? If they get one in, it's is it Washington? I'm either Washington or Will Washington. I'm not saying will Washington get in the playoff. I'm saying, if by chance a PAC twelve team were to make it, the winner of the Pac twelve is it's either confidently see it could be Stanford. I like kJ Costello plenty.

I don't like that they lose Bryce Love or Theyga Whiteside, Cadence Smith, stars along the line. Yeah, not feeling I just.

I don't feel good about anybody in the PAC twelve winning the PAC twelve. So that's a it's a pretty cold take to say the Pack doll's missing out again because I don't know who to feel good about.

On the Michigan side, I feel good for Michigan this year. It's long overdue. They have won three games in the last eighteen meetings with Ohio State, and that doesn't even count the game they lost by thirty and twenty ten when that win was vacated they get Ohio State in ann Arbor this year, a lot back on offense, Gonna take some time to sort out their defense, losing Rashaun Gary, Chase Winovich, Devin Bush, etc. Etc. But I think they're

This would be a good year. I'm a believer in Dwayne Haskins being exceptional and a believer in Dwayne Haskins with time in that system being exceptional, being a better situation than Justin Field's coming in and expected to be Dwayne Haskins immediately. So I think it's a good year for Michigan to be great and better and play like they're better than Ohio State. Ohio State's defense should be really good, especially upfront this year. I'm sure Penn State

By the way, if you want a really spicy take day, yeah, don sandwich you. I'm so hungry. I'm so hungry to close out Michigan season. They are home against Michigan State aka Little Brother, then on the road in Bloomington at Indiana before they come back home to square off against their hated rival Ohio State. If that Indiana game isn't an all time great let down, look ahead spot, I

Somebody gave us there are ten teams, and only ten teams are right around ten. There are maybe the same ten teams every year that can win a title. No other school has or will ever have a chance. The ap top twenty five finished as such last year, each of which, at various points of the season were kind of threatening. Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, LSU, Florida, Georgia, Texas,

I don't know about Oregon. I don't know about Oregon. Would you say after Florida State, Yeah, Florida State. I think there's more than ten.

I think twelve.

I think there's more than twelve. I think A and M is a team that can win a national championship. Yes, A, specially under Jimbo Fisher. He will put the infrastructure in place to make West Virginia.

No. I mean, I would say USC should be added to that list at their absolute best, but it's tough to foresee it in any sort of immediate future. UCLA, I will say.

No, No, I think it's fifteen to twenty, somewhere in that range.

I think twelve to fourteen.

Okay, do one or two more?

Okay, here we go, how about this one?

Tie?

Twenty nineteen. The twenty nineteen season will be Chip Kelly's final season as UCLA's head coach.

Final season, final season. The only way Charles Kelly isn't coaching in twenty twenty is if he leaves on his own volition.

That's what I'm saying.

So I don't think there's any chance he's getting fired. I don't think there's any chance he's leaving. I think this is a guy who genuinely enjoys football.

Is wanting to coach football, the same exact thing as not only do I want to coach football, but I want to do it for the UCLA Bruins.

They are going to have to pry the playbook from his dead, lifeless fingers before he'll leave.

Do you know who submitted this question this take to us Dan Rubinstein in New York. I'm saying, that's my take twenty nineteens last year. You think he's seen what it's like to coach UCLA and we've all come to a point doing things in our lives pursuits where we've said, you know what, I'm just I'm cutting bait. This is not for me. I don't like where this is heading. I don't want to be a part of this. This is based on no knowledge, This is based on no source,

The first down? The computer generated first down? I know you have to pick one or the given the choice. Given the choice, you're taking the first down line versus hd.

WHOA, that's really good. I mean we go one play where the graphic department doesn't spit out the line of scrimmage and the yellow first down line, and you're in my head, No, what sport. Am I watching? How am I supposed to know what's going on? Meanwhile, the sport on TV has been like that for ninety four percent of its existence. Right, which would you rather have HGTV or the first down yellow line?

I'm the one that rode I'd rather have the first down line.

Okay, I figured it was you.

I think the first down line is one of the greatest inventions in modern television history.

Do you like having the field goal line? No, like they need to get to this point our career long is right here for a forty seven yard er. I like doing the math in my head.

Wait, right, with the first down line, it's not arbitrary. I know where they're getting that information because it's always well, it's always the same distance.

It's not exact exact, but it's you know, it's close to on a true based on some true math.

The field goal line, I always wonder if the man's trying to stick it to me, Like, where did they get this information from?

I think I'm about eleven teams, by the way, that can win a national championship on any given year.

Give me fifteen to twenty.

By the way. Shout out to our pal Peter Hoffman, who has just a raging college football piece of excitement in his pants. For Sean Gleeson, the Oklahoma State new offensive coordinator. He has hot take. Northwestern wins ten or eleven games this year. Behind Hunter Johnson and his simmering take is Oklahoma State and Shawn Gleeson's offense take the Big twelve by storm and win the conference.

Boom shack a Laco. Okay, Okay, it's.

A good year for Oklahoma State to be interesting and new. Oh yeah, for sure. Here's the way this works.

It is late. Dan is tired.

I am tired.

As we said at the top of the show, one of the latest shows we've ever done talking college football. We thank everyone who wrote in for helping us crowd source this epoch so to some degree.

And respond to any and all takes.

By the way, yeah, by no means does it mean that when the show stops you should stop sending these in Solid Verbal at gmail dot com is our email address. As always, you can still hit us up on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram, and on the subreddit you mentioned. Peter he helps run the Solid Verbal subreddit at reddit dot com slash r slash solid Verbal hop on in the community, join the conversation with other verballers. Let us know what your hot takes are. I'm very curious to

Oh yeah, did you get a chance to take a look at one of the two?

I'm pretty excited about this.

It's pretty good.

I stopped up at MoMA H's for dinner after work today. Sure, and Mom h is very excited about this design.

Well, we're going to get our shirt, aren't we. We are? All right?

That's all I got, Dan, You take care of that instrument. I will good luck on your draft show. We will be back to feed my son, Go feed your son, Go do your fatherly duties. We will be back in a week post NFL Draft. Not sure if we'll talk about at dinner the week after, but before long we'll break everything down. Enjoy it. We'll have much more to say in the days and weeks ahead. In the meantime, though, enjoy your week, enjoy your weekend, enjoy the rest of
