• 1:56
  you

  know,
• 1:57
  we're

  just
• 1:57
  freshly

  can
• 2:03
  you
• 2:03
  tell
• 2:03
  us
• 2:03
  about
• 2:04
  these
• 2:04
  two
• 2:04
  dumbest
• 2:05
  draft
• 2:05
  picks?
• 2:06
  Well,
• 2:07
  the,
• 2:08
  you
• 2:08
  know,
• 2:08
  there
• 2:08
  have
• 2:09
  been
• 2:09
  bad
• 2:09
  draft
• 2:10
  picks
• 2:10
  in
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  past.
• 2:11
  I
• 2:11
  mean,
• 2:11
  there,
• 2:12
  there
• 2:12
  have
• 2:12
  been
• 2:13
  draft
• 2:13
  picks
• 2:14
  where,
• 2:15
  you
• 2:15
  know,
• 2:16
  either
• 2:16
  people
• 2:17
  just
• 2:17
  had
• 2:17
  outsized
• 2:18
  expectations
• 2:19
  of
• 2:19
  a
• 2:19
  player
• 2:21
  or
• 2:21
  he
• 2:22
  just
• 2:22
  never
• 2:22
  developed.
• 2:23
  I
• 2:23
  know,
• 2:24
  you
• 2:24
  know,
• 2:25
  as
• 2:25
  a
• 2:25
  Packer
• 2:25
  fan
• 2:26
  growing
• 2:26
  up.
• 2:26
  So
• 2:26
  the
• 2:26
  whole
• 2:27
  Tony
• 2:27
  Mandrich
• 2:30
  pick
• 2:30
  was,
• 2:31
  has
• 2:31
  always,
• 2:31
  you
• 2:32
  know,
• 2:33
  been
• 2:33
  considered
• 2:34
  one
• 2:34
  of
• 2:34
  their
• 2:34
  worst.
• 2:37
  But
• 2:37
  even
• 2:37
  then,
• 2:37
  you
• 2:38
  know,
• 2:38
  he
• 2:38
  was
• 2:38
  a
• 2:39
  tremendous
• 2:40
  college
• 2:40
  football
• 2:41
  player,
• 2:41
  you
• 2:41
  know,
• 2:42
  and
• 2:43
  I'm
• 2:43
  not
• 2:43
  going
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  speculate
• 2:44
  on
• 2:44
  why
• 2:44
  he
• 2:45
  never
• 2:45
  worked
• 2:46
  out
• 2:46
  and,
• 2:47
  you
• 2:47
  know,
• 2:47
  for
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  Packers.
• 2:48
  But
• 2:49
  there
• 2:50
  have
• 2:50
  been
• 2:50
  other
• 2:50
  draft
• 2:51
  picks
• 2:51
  that
• 2:52
  have
• 2:52
  just
• 2:53
  been
• 2:54
  dumb
• 2:55
  because
• 2:55
  of
• 2:56
  incompetence,
• 2:57
  not
• 2:58
  caring,
• 2:59
  whatever.
• 3:01
  And
• 3:01
  so
• 3:02
  I
• 3:02
  will
• 3:02
  just
• 3:03
  say
• 3:03
  that
• 3:03
  the
• 3:03
  two
• 3:04
  dumbest
• 3:04
  draft
• 3:04
  picks,
• 3:05
  in
• 3:05
  my
• 3:05
  opinion,
• 3:07
  were
• 3:07
  both
• 3:07
  by
• 3:08
  the
• 3:08
  same
• 3:08
  franchise.
• 3:09
  And
• 3:09
  they
• 3:10
  were
• 3:10
  one
• 3:10
  year
• 3:10
  after
• 3:10
  another,
• 3:11
  which
• 3:11
  is
• 3:11
  amazing.
• 3:14
  So,.
• 3:17
  So,
• 3:17
  and,
• 3:18
  and
• 3:18
  they're
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  1946
• 3:19
  and
• 3:19
  1947
• 3:20
  draft
• 3:21
  picks
• 3:21
  by
• 3:21
  the
• 3:22
  Redskins.
• 3:23
  George
• 3:24
  Preston
• 3:24
  Marshall
• 3:25
  was
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  owner.
• 3:26
  And
• 3:26
  he
• 3:28
  is
• 3:28
  not
• 3:29
  a
• 3:29
  guy
• 3:29
  who's
• 3:29
  well
• 3:29
  thought
• 3:30
  of
• 3:31
  from
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  history
• 3:32
  standpoint,
• 3:33
  but
• 3:33
  one
• 3:33
  thing
• 3:34
  was
• 3:35
  pretty
• 3:35
  sure
• 3:35
  is
• 3:35
  that
• 3:35
  he
• 3:36
  was
• 3:36
  pretty
• 3:36
  cheap.
• 3:37
  And
• 3:37
  so
• 3:38
  at,
• 3:38
  at
• 3:38
  a
• 3:38
  time
• 3:38
  when
• 3:39
  teams
• 3:39
  were
• 3:41
  spending
• 3:41
  some
• 3:42
  money
• 3:42
  on
• 3:42
  drafting,
• 3:43
  scouting,
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  know,
• 3:44
  they,
• 3:45
  they'd
• 3:45
  kind
• 3:45
  of
• 3:45
  look
• 3:45
  into
• 3:46
  their
• 3:46
  players.
• 3:46
  He
• 3:47
  was
• 3:47
  still
• 3:47
  operating
• 3:48
  under
• 3:48
  the,
• 3:49
  hey,
• 3:49
  I
• 3:49
  got
• 3:49
  a
• 3:50
  buddy
• 3:50
  that,
• 3:50
  you
• 3:50
  know,
• 3:51
  an
• 3:51
  old
• 3:51
  fraternity
• 3:51
  brother
• 3:52
  who
• 3:52
  lives
• 3:52
  in
• 3:52
  San
• 3:52
  Francisco
• 3:53
  and
• 3:53
  he
• 3:53
  says
• 3:53
  this
• 3:53
  kid
• 3:54
  is
• 3:54
  good.
• 3:54
  You
• 3:55
  know,
• 3:56
  they,
• 3:56
  you
• 3:57
  know,
• 3:57
  or
• 3:57
  just
• 3:57
  like
• 3:58
  picking
• 3:58
  up
• 3:58
  magazines,
• 4:00
  leafing
• 4:00
  through
• 4:00
  them
• 4:00
  and,
• 4:01
  you
• 4:01
  know,
• 4:01
  figuring
• 4:01
  out
• 4:01
  who
• 4:01
  you're
• 4:02
  going
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  can
• 4:02
  draft
• 4:02
  from
• 4:03
  them.
• 4:03
  And
• 4:03
  then
• 4:03
  obviously
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  All
• 4:04
  Star
• 4:04
  Games,
• 4:04
  you
• 4:05
  know,
• 4:05
  were
• 4:06
  a
• 4:06
  big
• 4:06
  deal
• 4:06
  back
• 4:07
  then
• 4:07
  for
• 4:07
  evaluating,
• 4:08
  but
• 4:08
  one
• 4:09
  way
• 4:09
  or
• 4:09
  another,
• 4:09
  they
• 4:09
  just
• 4:10
  obviously
• 4:10
  didn't
• 4:11
  spend
• 4:11
  much
• 4:11
  money
• 4:12
  on
• 4:12
  their
• 4:13
  drafting
• 4:13
  process.
• 4:15
  So.
• 4:16
  So
• 4:16
  now
• 4:17
  we're
• 4:17
  going
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  segue
• 4:17
  into
• 4:18
  a
• 4:18
  player,
• 4:19
  a
• 4:19
  college
• 4:19
  football
• 4:19
  player
• 4:20
  named
• 4:20
  Cal
• 4:21
  Rossi.
• 4:22
  And
• 4:22
  so
• 4:23
  in
• 4:23
  1943,
• 4:24
  during
• 4:24
  World
• 4:25
  War
• 4:25
  II,
• 4:27
  he
• 4:27
  spent
• 4:28
  his
• 4:28
  freshman
• 4:29
  year
• 4:29
  at
• 4:30
  USC
• 4:32
  in
• 4:32
  a
• 4:32
  V12,
• 4:33
  so
• 4:33
  Navy,
• 4:34
  you
• 4:34
  know,
• 4:35
  training
• 4:35
  program,
• 4:36
  but
• 4:37
  he
• 4:37
  didn't
• 4:37
  play
• 4:37
  football.
• 4:38
  So
• 4:39
  then
• 4:39
  in
• 4:39
  44,
• 4:40
  he
• 4:40
  transfers
• 4:41
  to
• 4:41
  UCLA
• 4:42
  and
• 4:43
  he's
• 4:43
  a
• 4:43
  freshman
• 4:43
  starter
• 4:44
  at
• 4:44
  halfback.
• 4:46
  Now,
• 4:46
  you
• 4:46
  know,
• 4:47
  rosters
• 4:47
  were
• 4:47
  depleted
• 4:48
  then,
• 4:49
  but,
• 4:49
  you
• 4:49
  know,
• 4:49
  college
• 4:49
  rosters,
• 4:50
  but
• 4:50
  still,
• 4:50
  you
• 4:51
  know,
• 4:51
  he's,
• 4:51
  he
• 4:51
  was
• 4:52
  a,
• 4:52
  you
• 4:52
  know,
• 4:52
  really
• 4:52
  top
• 4:53
  notch,
• 4:53
  you
• 4:53
  know,
• 4:53
  running
• 4:54
  back
• 4:54
  coming
• 4:55
  out
• 4:55
  of
• 4:55
  Santa,
• 4:55
  Santa
• 4:56
  Barbara
• 4:56
  High
• 4:56
  School.
• 4:57
  And
• 4:57
  then
• 4:58
  in
• 4:58
  45,
• 4:59
  he
• 5:00
  ends
• 5:00
  up,
• 5:00
  he
• 5:01
  leads
• 5:01
  a
• 5:01
  team
• 5:01
  in
• 5:01
  rushing.
• 5:03
  He's
• 5:03
  all
• 5:04
  Pacific
• 5:04
  Coast
• 5:04
  Conference,
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  predecessor
• 5:06
  of
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  PAC12.
• 5:08
  So,
• 5:08
  you
• 5:08
  know,
• 5:08
  I
• 5:08
  mean,
• 5:09
  definitely
• 5:09
  a
• 5:09
  highly
• 5:10
  regarded
• 5:10
  football
• 5:11
  player.
• 5:12
  And
• 5:12
  so
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  Redskins
• 5:14
  draft
• 5:15
  him.
• 5:15
  They
• 5:16
  take
• 5:16
  him
• 5:16
  in
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  1946
• 5:17
  draft.
• 5:18
  They
• 5:18
  take
• 5:18
  him
• 5:18
  in
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  first
• 5:19
  round.
• 5:20
  And
• 5:20
  the
• 5:21
  problem
• 5:21
  was
• 5:22
  that
• 5:22
  he
• 5:22
  was
• 5:23
  ineligible
• 5:23
  for
• 5:23
  the
• 5:24
  draft.
• 5:24
  So
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  couldn't
• 5:26
  even,
• 5:26
  you
• 5:26
  know,
• 5:26
  it
• 5:26
  was
• 5:27
  like
• 5:27
  they
• 5:28
  picked
• 5:28
  them
• 5:28
  in
• 5:28
  the,
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  draft.
• 5:29
  The
• 5:30
  NFL
• 5:30
  said,
• 5:30
  sorry,
• 5:31
  no,
• 5:31
  you
• 5:31
  can't,
• 5:32
  you
• 5:32
  know,
• 5:32
  you
• 5:32
  forfeited
• 5:33
  your
• 5:33
  draft.
• 5:37
  So,
• 5:37
  I
• 5:37
  mean,
• 5:37
  he
• 5:37
  just
• 5:38
  completed
• 5:38
  his
• 5:38
  sophomore
• 5:39
  year.
• 5:39
  And,
• 5:40
  you
• 5:41
  know,
• 5:41
  there
• 5:41
  were
• 5:41
  some
• 5:41
  goofy
• 5:42
  things
• 5:42
  back
• 5:42
  then.
• 5:43
  Sometimes
• 5:43
  teams
• 5:43
  could
• 5:44
  pick
• 5:44
  future
• 5:45
  picks.
• 5:45
  They
• 5:46
  formalized
• 5:46
  that
• 5:47
  later.
• 5:47
  But
• 5:48
  when
• 5:48
  you
• 5:48
  did
• 5:48
  a
• 5:48
  future
• 5:49
  picket,
• 5:49
  the
• 5:50
  guy
• 5:50
  should
• 5:50
  have
• 5:50
  been
• 5:50
  a
• 5:50
  junior,
• 5:51
  you
• 5:51
  know,
• 5:51
  so
• 5:52
  that
• 5:52
  was
• 5:52
  kind
• 5:52
  of
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  established
• 5:53
  practice.
• 5:54
  So
• 5:54
  anyways,
• 5:56
  so
• 5:57
  then
• 5:57
  in,
• 5:58
  in
• 5:59
  40s,
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  season
• 6:00
  of
• 6:00
  46,
• 6:01
  he's,
• 6:02
  you
• 6:02
  know,
• 6:02
  second
• 6:02
  team,
• 6:03
  all
• 6:03
  PCC,
• 6:04
  and
• 6:04
  he,
• 6:05
  you
• 6:05
  know,
• 6:05
  he's
• 6:05
  on
• 6:05
  the
• 6:05
  road,
• 6:06
  UCLA
• 6:06
  goes
• 6:06
  to
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  Rose
• 6:07
  Bowl.
• 6:07
  So,
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  know,
• 6:08
  good
• 6:08
  player
• 6:08
  on
• 6:08
  a
• 6:09
  good
• 6:09
  squad.
• 6:10
  So
• 6:11
  1947
• 6:12
  draft
• 6:12
  comes
• 6:12
  around
• 6:13
  and
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  Redskins
• 6:14
  pick
• 6:15
  Cal
• 6:15
  Rossi
• 6:16
  again.
• 6:16
  So
• 6:16
  they
• 6:16
  draft
• 6:17
  the
• 6:17
  same
• 6:17
  guy
• 6:18
  two
• 6:18
  years
• 6:18
  in
• 6:18
  a
• 6:18
  row
• 6:19
  in
• 6:19
  the
• 6:20
  first
• 6:20
  round.
• 6:21
  And
• 6:22
  that
• 6:22
  time
• 6:22
  he
• 6:23
  would
• 6:23
  have
• 6:23
  qualified
• 6:23
  as
• 6:24
  a
• 6:24
  future
• 6:24
  pick.
• 6:24
  But
• 6:25
  he
• 6:25
  had
• 6:25
  been
• 6:25
  telling
• 6:26
  people
• 6:26
  all
• 6:26
  along,
• 6:27
  I
• 6:27
  don't
• 6:27
  want
• 6:28
  to
• 6:28
  play
• 6:28
  pro
• 6:28
  football.
• 6:29
  You
• 6:29
  know,
• 6:30
  this
• 6:30
  is
• 6:30
  not
• 6:30
  something
• 6:30
  I'm
• 6:31
  interested.
• 6:31
  He
• 6:31
  wanted
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  get
• 6:32
  into
• 6:32
  coaching.
• 6:33
  So,
• 6:35
  you
• 6:35
  know,
• 6:35
  they,
• 6:36
  you
• 6:37
  know,
• 6:37
  so
• 6:37
  after
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  47
• 6:38
  season,
• 6:39
  he
• 6:39
  doesn't
• 6:39
  report
• 6:41
  or
• 6:43
  after
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  47
• 6:44
  draft,
• 6:44
  he
• 6:44
  doesn't
• 6:44
  report.
• 6:44
  He
• 6:45
  plays
• 6:45
  a
• 6:45
  47
• 6:45
  season.
• 6:46
  His
• 6:46
  senior
• 6:46
  season,
• 6:47
  you
• 6:47
  know,
• 6:47
  as
• 6:47
  a
• 6:47
  Bruin,
• 6:49
  he
• 6:49
  ends
• 6:49
  up
• 6:49
  playing
• 6:49
  in
• 6:49
  the
• 6:50
  East
• 6:50
  West
• 6:50
  Shrine
• 6:50
  Game.
• 6:51
  So
• 6:51
  again,
• 6:51
  good
• 6:52
  player.
• 6:53
  He
• 6:53
  leaves
• 6:53
  UCLA
• 6:54
  at
• 6:55
  The
• 6:55
  time
• 6:55
  as
• 6:55
  their
• 6:56
  all
• 6:56
  time
• 6:56
  per
• 6:56
  carry
• 6:57
  average.
• 6:59
  But
• 6:59
  he
• 6:59
  never
• 7:00
  reports
• 7:00
  to
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  Redskins,
• 7:01
  never
• 7:01
  reports
• 7:01
  to
• 7:02
  any
• 7:02
  AAFC
• 7:03
  team
• 7:03
  or
• 7:03
  anything.
• 7:04
  He
• 7:04
  goes
• 7:04
  right
• 7:04
  in
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  coaching
• 7:05
  high
• 7:06
  school
• 7:06
  football
• 7:07
  and
• 7:07
  does
• 7:07
  that
• 7:07
  for
• 7:07
  about
• 7:08
  six,
• 7:08
  seven
• 7:08
  years
• 7:08
  and
• 7:09
  then
• 7:09
  he
• 7:09
  eventually
• 7:10
  moves
• 7:10
  in
• 7:10
  more
• 7:10
  to.
• 7:11
  He
• 7:11
  works
• 7:11
  for
• 7:11
  like
• 7:12
  Cal
• 7:12
  teachers
• 7:13
  which
• 7:13
  is
• 7:13
  I
• 7:13
  believe
• 7:13
  like
• 7:14
  like
• 7:14
  the,
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  state
• 7:15
  union
• 7:16
  for
• 7:16
  you
• 7:16
  know,
• 7:16
  for
• 7:17
  high
• 7:17
  school
• 7:18
  maybe
• 7:18
  you
• 7:19
  know,
• 7:19
  grade
• 7:19
  school
• 7:19
  teachers
• 7:20
  too.
• 7:21
  So
• 7:21
  you
• 7:21
  know,
• 7:22
  heck
• 7:22
  of
• 7:22
  a
• 7:22
  player,
• 7:23
  certainly
• 7:24
  draft
• 7:24
  worthy
• 7:26
  if
• 7:26
  you
• 7:27
  draft
• 7:27
  him
• 7:27
  when
• 7:27
  he's
• 7:27
  eligible
• 7:28
  or
• 7:29
  when
• 7:29
  he,
• 7:30
  if
• 7:30
  he
• 7:31
  wanted
• 7:31
  to
• 7:31
  play
• 7:31
  but
• 7:31
  he'd
• 7:32
  been
• 7:32
  telling
• 7:32
  everybody
• 7:33
  didn't
• 7:33
  want
• 7:33
  to
• 7:33
  play.
• 7:34
  So
• 7:35
  it's
• 7:35
  just
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  draft
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  same
• 7:37
  guy
• 7:37
  two
• 7:37
  years
• 7:37
  in
• 7:37
  a
• 7:38
  row
• 7:38
  with
• 7:38
  your
• 7:39
  first
• 7:39
  round
• 7:39
  pick
• 7:41
  and
• 7:41
  never
• 7:42
  sign
• 7:43
  them
• 7:43
  is
• 7:43
  just
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  epitome
• 7:45
  of
• 7:45
  dumb.
• 7:46
  Yeah,
• 7:47
  it
• 7:47
  sure
• 7:48
  is.
• 7:48
  I
• 7:49
  don't
• 7:49
  think
• 7:49
  Marshall
• 7:50
  was
• 7:50
  reading
• 7:50
  a
• 7:50
  tea
• 7:51
  leaves
• 7:51
  very
• 7:51
  well
• 7:51
  with.
• 7:52
  With
• 7:52
  him,
• 7:52
  was
• 7:52
  he?
• 7:53
  No,
• 7:53
  no,
• 7:53
  he.
• 7:55
  Yeah.
• 7:55
  I
• 7:56
  mean
• 7:56
  that's
• 7:56
  just
• 7:57
  such
• 7:57
  basic
• 7:58
  mistakes.
• 7:58
  You
• 7:59
  just
• 7:59
  can't
• 7:59
  even
• 7:59
  believe
• 7:59
  anybody
• 8:00
  could
• 8:01
  could
• 8:01
  do
• 8:01
  that.
• 8:01
  But
• 8:02
  such,
• 8:03
  I
• 8:03
  mean
• 8:03
  so
• 8:04
  it,
• 8:04
  it
• 8:04
  still
• 8:05
  does
• 8:05
  tell
• 8:05
  you
• 8:06
  that
• 8:07
  some
• 8:07
  of
• 8:07
  these
• 8:07
  leagues
• 8:07
  were
• 8:08
  pretty.
• 8:09
  I
• 8:09
  mean
• 8:09
  even
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  NFL
• 8:11
  was
• 8:11
  a
• 8:11
  little
• 8:11
  bit
• 8:12
  of
• 8:12
  a,
• 8:13
  you
• 8:14
  know,
• 8:14
  it
• 8:14
  wasn't
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  sophisticated
• 8:16
  organization
• 8:16
  that
• 8:17
  we
• 8:17
  know
• 8:17
  it
• 8:18
  to
• 8:18
  be
• 8:18
  today.
• 8:19
  Yeah,
• 8:19
  I
• 8:20
  mean
• 8:20
  I
• 8:20
  guess
• 8:21
  it
• 8:21
  wasn't
• 8:21
  super
• 8:21
  uncommon.
• 8:22
  Like
• 8:22
  I
• 8:23
  mean
• 8:23
  if
• 8:23
  it
• 8:23
  happens
• 8:23
  that
• 8:24
  happened
• 8:24
  today,
• 8:24
  we
• 8:24
  would
• 8:25
  all
• 8:25
  be
• 8:25
  you
• 8:25
  know,
• 8:25
  flabbergasted
• 8:26
  but
• 8:27
  you
• 8:27
  know,
• 8:27
  like
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  very
• 8:28
  first
• 8:28
  draft
• 8:28
  pick,
• 8:28
  Jay
• 8:29
  Buranger,
• 8:29
  first
• 8:29
  Heisman
• 8:30
  Trophy
• 8:30
  winner.
• 8:31
  The
• 8:31
  Eagles
• 8:32
  draft
• 8:32
  them
• 8:32
  and
• 8:33
  he
• 8:33
  says
• 8:33
  hey,
• 8:33
  I
• 8:34
  can
• 8:34
  make
• 8:34
  more
• 8:34
  money,
• 8:34
  you
• 8:35
  know,
• 8:35
  selling
• 8:36
  whatever
• 8:36
  some
• 8:37
  commodity
• 8:37
  he
• 8:37
  was
• 8:38
  selling
• 8:38
  in
• 8:38
  Chicago.
• 8:39
  She
• 8:39
  said
• 8:39
  I
• 8:40
  don't
• 8:40
  want
• 8:40
  to
• 8:40
  play
• 8:40
  football.
• 8:40
  Never
• 8:40
  played
• 8:41
  football.
• 8:41
  So
• 8:41
  the
• 8:42
  Eagles
• 8:42
  lost
• 8:42
  their
• 8:43
  first
• 8:43
  draft
• 8:43
  pick
• 8:44
  to
• 8:45
  that
• 8:45
  and
• 8:45
  you
• 8:46
  know,
• 8:46
  I
• 8:46
  guess
• 8:46
  more
• 8:47
  modern
• 8:47
  times,
• 8:48
  wasn't
• 8:48
  it.
• 8:50
  John
• 8:51
  Elway
• 8:52
  said
• 8:53
  that
• 8:53
  he
• 8:53
  did
• 8:53
  not.
• 8:53
  I
• 8:53
  think
• 8:54
  it
• 8:54
  was
• 8:54
  the,
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  Colts.
• 8:55
  He
• 8:55
  said
• 8:55
  I
• 8:55
  do,
• 8:55
  I
• 8:55
  will
• 8:56
  not
• 8:56
  play
• 8:56
  for
• 8:56
  the
• 8:56
  Colts.
• 8:57
  Don't
• 8:57
  draft
• 8:57
  me.
• 8:58
  And
• 8:58
  they
• 8:58
  drafted
• 8:58
  him
• 8:59
  anyway
• 8:59
  and
• 8:59
  end
• 9:00
  up
• 9:00
  having
• 9:00
  to
• 9:00
  trade
• 9:01
  him
• 9:01
  a
• 9:01
  of
• 9:01
  couple
• 9:01
  a
• 9:01
  couple
• 9:01
  days
• 9:02
  later
• 9:03
  traders
• 9:03
  rights
• 9:03
  to
• 9:04
  the
• 9:04
  Broncos.
• 9:04
  So
• 9:05
  I,
• 9:05
  I
• 9:05
  guess
• 9:05
  it
• 9:06
  still
• 9:06
  happens
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  some
• 9:07
  extent.
• 9:07
  Yeah,
• 9:08
  I
• 9:08
  mean
• 9:08
  so
• 9:08
  I
• 9:09
  mean
• 9:09
  there
• 9:09
  was
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  point
• 9:09
  where
• 9:10
  okay,
• 9:10
  so
• 9:10
  like
• 9:11
  Burwinger,
• 9:12
  you
• 9:12
  know,
• 9:13
  he
• 9:13
  really
• 9:13
  could
• 9:13
  make
• 9:13
  more
• 9:14
  money,
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  know,
• 9:15
  outside
• 9:15
  of
• 9:16
  football
• 9:19
  and
• 9:21
  you
• 9:21
  know,
• 9:21
  and
• 9:21
  then
• 9:21
  even
• 9:22
  like
• 9:22
  you
• 9:23
  know
• 9:23
  when
• 9:23
  you
• 9:23
  had
• 9:24
  the
• 9:24
  AAFC
• 9:25
  going
• 9:25
  on,
• 9:25
  you
• 9:25
  know,
• 9:25
  there's
• 9:26
  a
• 9:26
  little
• 9:26
  bit
• 9:26
  of
• 9:26
  competition
• 9:26
  and
• 9:27
  even
• 9:27
  in
• 9:27
  like
• 9:28
  the.
• 9:29
  I
• 9:29
  just
• 9:30
  was
• 9:30
  reading
• 9:30
  something
• 9:30
  interesting
• 9:31
  last
• 9:32
  night
• 9:32
  this
• 9:32
  morning
• 9:32
  about
• 9:33
  the
• 9:33
  difference
• 9:34
  in
• 9:35
  pay
• 9:36
  between
• 9:36
  the
• 9:36
  CFL
• 9:37
  and
• 9:37
  the
• 9:38
  NFL
• 9:39
  because
• 9:39
  it
• 9:39
  used
• 9:40
  to
• 9:40
  be
• 9:40
  a
• 9:40
  lot
• 9:40
  closer
• 9:41
  and
• 9:41
  so
• 9:42
  the
• 9:42
  CFL,
• 9:43
  even
• 9:43
  in
• 9:43
  the
• 9:43
  50s,
• 9:44
  was
• 9:44
  still
• 9:45
  signing
• 9:45
  like
• 9:45
  number
• 9:46
  one
• 9:46
  draft
• 9:46
  choices
• 9:47
  and
• 9:47
  getting
• 9:47
  guys
• 9:48
  to
• 9:48
  sign
• 9:48
  with
• 9:49
  them.
• 9:49
  I
• 9:50
  mean,
• 9:50
  there
• 9:50
  are,
• 9:50
  you
• 9:50
  know,
• 9:51
  Heisman
• 9:51
  Trophy
• 9:51
  winners
• 9:52
  signed
• 9:52
  with
• 9:52
  them
• 9:52
  instead
• 9:53
  of
• 9:54
  with
• 9:54
  the
• 9:54
  NFL.
• 9:55
  But
• 9:55
  then,
• 9:55
  you
• 9:56
  know,
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  pay
• 9:56
  discrepancy
• 9:57
  has
• 9:57
  become
• 9:57
  so
• 9:57
  large
• 9:58
  now,
• 9:58
  you
• 9:59
  know,
• 9:59
  that,
• 10:01
  you
• 10:01
  know,
• 10:01
  I
• 10:01
  probably.
• 10:02
  Maybe
• 10:03
  there's
• 10:03
  a
• 10:03
  couple
• 10:03
  of
• 10:04
  quarterbacks
• 10:04
  in
• 10:04
  the
• 10:05
  CFL
• 10:05
  who
• 10:05
  make
• 10:06
  more
• 10:06
  than
• 10:06
  the
• 10:06
  NFL
• 10:07
  minimum,
• 10:08
  but
• 10:09
  not
• 10:09
  many.
• 10:10
  Right.
• 10:10
  I
• 10:10
  mean,
• 10:11
  it's
• 10:11
  just.
• 10:11
  It
• 10:11
  is
• 10:12
  what
• 10:12
  it
• 10:12
  is.
• 10:13
  And
• 10:13
  it's
• 10:13
  mostly
• 10:14
  just
• 10:14
  television
• 10:14
  revenue.
• 10:15
  I
• 10:15
  think
• 10:16
  so.
• 10:17
  Yeah.
• 10:17
  But
• 10:18
  nevertheless,
• 10:19
  don't
• 10:19
  draft
• 10:20
  a
• 10:20
  guy
• 10:20
  who
• 10:20
  doesn't
• 10:20
  want
• 10:20
  to
• 10:20
  play
• 10:20
  football.
• 10:22
  Yeah.
• 10:22
  Call
• 10:23
  me
• 10:23
  crazy,
• 10:24
  right?
• 10:25
  Yeah.
• 10:25
  Just
• 10:25
  ask.
• 10:26
  I
• 10:26
  think
• 10:27
  another
• 10:27
  one,
• 10:27
  Eli
• 10:27
  Manning,
• 10:28
  the,
• 10:28
  the
• 10:28
  Chargers
• 10:30
  didn't
• 10:30
  end
• 10:30
  up
• 10:30
  drafting.
• 10:31
  They
• 10:31
  traded
• 10:32
  their
• 10:32
  pick
• 10:32
  to
• 10:32
  the.
• 10:33
  The
• 10:33
  Giants
• 10:33
  late,
• 10:33
  but
• 10:34
  they
• 10:34
  were
• 10:34
  talking
• 10:35
  about
• 10:35
  it,
• 10:35
  you
• 10:35
  know,
• 10:35
  that's.
• 10:36
  So
• 10:37
  it
• 10:37
  still
• 10:37
  happens,
• 10:37
  I
• 10:37
  guess.
• 10:38
  And,
• 10:38
  and
• 10:38
  I
• 10:39
  guess
• 10:39
  I
• 10:39
  was
• 10:39
  just
• 10:40
  reading
• 10:40
  something
• 10:40
  recently
• 10:41
  with
• 10:41
  Archie
• 10:42
  Manning,
• 10:42
  Eli's
• 10:43
  father.
• 10:44
  We
• 10:44
  kept
• 10:44
  telling
• 10:44
  him,
• 10:44
  he
• 10:45
  said,
• 10:45
  you
• 10:45
  know,
• 10:45
  don't,
• 10:45
  don't
• 10:46
  do
• 10:46
  that.
• 10:46
  You
• 10:46
  know,
• 10:46
  don't
• 10:46
  tell
• 10:47
  them
• 10:47
  you're
• 10:47
  not
• 10:47
  going
• 10:47
  to
• 10:47
  play
• 10:47
  for
• 10:48
  him.
• 10:48
  And,
• 10:49
  and
• 10:49
  I
• 10:49
  guess
• 10:49
  it
• 10:50
  was
• 10:50
  a
• 10:50
  misunderstanding.
• 10:51
  Eli
• 10:52
  said
• 10:52
  something
• 10:53
  out
• 10:53
  of
• 10:53
  context
• 10:54
  that
• 10:54
  they
• 10:54
  believed
• 10:55
  and
• 10:55
  they
• 10:55
  trade
• 10:56
  him.
• 10:56
  So
• 10:56
  Eli
• 10:56
  Manning
• 10:57
  could
• 10:57
  have
• 10:57
  played
• 10:57
  for
• 10:57
  the,
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  Chargers,
• 10:58
  I
• 10:58
  guess,
• 10:58
  is
• 10:59
  what
• 10:59
  the
• 10:59
  stories
• 11:00
  are
• 11:00
  saying
• 11:00
  now.
• 11:00
  And
• 11:01
  they
• 11:01
  would
• 11:01
  have
• 11:01
  been
• 11:01
  okay
• 11:02
  with
• 11:02
  that.
• 11:02
  But.
• 11:02
  Yeah.
• 11:04
  Yeah.
• 11:06
  So.
• 11:07
  Interesting
• 11:07
  stuff.
• 11:07
  So,
• 11:08
  you
• 11:08
  know,
• 11:08
  this
• 11:08
  is
• 11:09
  another
• 11:09
  one.
• 11:09
  Of
• 11:09
  those
• 11:09
  times
• 11:10
  where
• 11:10
  you
• 11:10
  go
• 11:10
  back.
• 11:10
  And
• 11:11
  you
• 11:11
  research,
• 11:11
  you
• 11:12
  know,
• 11:12
  some,
• 11:12
  some.
• 11:13
  Stories
• 11:13
  that
• 11:14
  maybe
• 11:14
  we've
• 11:14
  forgotten
• 11:15
  about
• 11:15
  through.
• 11:16
  Time
• 11:16
  and,
• 11:17
  you
• 11:17
  know,
• 11:17
  some
• 11:17
  other
• 11:18
  more
• 11:18
  interesting
• 11:19
  things
• 11:19
  pop
• 11:19
  up,
• 11:19
  you
• 11:19
  know,
• 11:20
  more
• 11:20
  shiny

• 11:21
  NFL
• 11:21
  and
• 11:22
  college
• 11:22
  football.
• 11:23
  But
• 11:23
  then
• 11:23
  you
• 11:23
  go
• 11:23
  back
• 11:23
  and
• 11:24
  you
• 11:24
  research
• 11:24
  it
• 11:24
  and
• 11:25
  bring

  to
