- 1:20Speaker 1: would have no idea. I have never watched that television program.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Jeff Loguman joins us. Now, Jeff, I'm guessing if I
- 1:29Speaker 1: were a betting man that you've never watched The Bachelorette either, Well,
- 1:33Speaker 1: I was. I'm personally JP. I'm a big fan of
- 1:36Speaker 1: the Bachelor show. Oh the other one? Okay, okay, heck no,
- 1:42Speaker 1: I haven't watched that show and I haven't watched the
- 1:44Speaker 1: other one. Is the show anyway? I think there is?
- 1:47Speaker 1: But you know, you fool me. I don't watch Joe
- 1:49Speaker 1: he Fortunato, he knows he's he's a big fan of
- 1:54Speaker 1: appairly so he put the the open together there. Oh
- 1:59Speaker 1: my god? What's up? Did it come to? How's your week?
- 2:03Speaker 1: Today's a great day? Today is uh, today is July
- 2:06Speaker 1: twenty three, which is my dad's birthday. All right, Mr Lockhaman,

- 2:13Speaker 1: one today now he's a big eight zero. Wow. Yeah,
- 2:18Speaker 1: So well, happy birthdays. I will pass it on. I
- 2:23Speaker 1: will pass it on to him. We got we got
- 2:25Speaker 1: big plans and uh, so far we've had a pancake
- 2:30Speaker 1: breakfast and hanging out a little bit and we're gonna
- 2:33Speaker 1: have some pet to tonight and you know, so with
- 2:36Speaker 1: all the worldwide pandemic. Obviously, trying to be careful and
- 2:41Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So we're not out hitting
- 2:43Speaker 1: the hitting the bar seene or bar hopping or anything
- 2:45Speaker 1: with pot He's turning eighty good idea. Jeff Jeff Logman
- 2:51Speaker 1: analys reports about fifteen twenty minutes ago, Logs at the
- 2:56Speaker 1: NFL wants to finalize a deal with the players, so
- 3:00Speaker 1: seation by Sunday or virtual work could continue indefinitely. Sunday
- 3:05Speaker 1: is when the Chiefs and the Texans rookies are supposed
- 3:08Speaker 1: to begin strength and conditioning. There's still that conversation between
- 3:11Speaker 1: the the p A and the league about money, mainly
- 3:14Speaker 1: what happens if the season shortened to the players get
- 3:16Speaker 1: their full salary, and the spread impact of a potential
- 3:21Speaker 1: revenue shortfall um that the players apparently reportedly wanted over
- 3:25Speaker 1: an eleven years cb A rather than two years. The
- 3:29Speaker 1: next this season and next is the NFL is proposed.
- 3:31Speaker 1: So that's the one thing left Logs and it sounds
- 3:34Speaker 1: like they're um putting a deadline of Sunday on it too.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Go back home. Yeah, I don't know if if a
- 3:44Speaker 1: deadline like that is truly gonna work, you know, the
- 3:47Speaker 1: NFL is essentially trying to save the season. Because even
- 3:51Speaker 1: if you're you're lacking a lot of the revenue streams,
- 3:54Speaker 1: the typical revenue streams that you have with fans in
- 3:57Speaker 1: the seats and concessions and park game and in local
- 4:01Speaker 1: ad revenue, sponsorship, et cetera. I mean, the TV revenue
- 4:05Speaker 1: is immense. I mean, you're you're talking that that alone
- 4:08Speaker 1: essentially would keep any NFL team afloat, you know, So
- 4:13Speaker 1: you don't want to lose that, and so you've got
- 4:16Speaker 1: to try to preserve that, try to make that make
- 4:19Speaker 1: sure that that can happen if if you're trying to
- 4:21Speaker 1: accomplish financial stability, but you've got to be able to
- 4:24Speaker 1: do that while trying to do all the safety things
- 4:26Speaker 1: that you can to make sure that the players are
- 4:28Speaker 1: comfortable and the coaching staffs are comfortable, the staff of
- 4:32Speaker 1: the organizations that they're comfortable. So, I mean it's quite
- 4:35Speaker 1: a challenge. And and I know that there's even though
- 4:38Speaker 1: you mentioned this weekend as a deadline, I mean there's
- 4:41Speaker 1: there's kind of really other deadlines too, and that you
- 4:43Speaker 1: want to make sure that from the owner standpoint, you
- 4:47Speaker 1: don't want to get started and then all of a
- 4:48Speaker 1: sudden you stop. And then from the players standpoint, because
- 4:51Speaker 1: if you start to play one or two games, then
- 4:53Speaker 1: the players are going to get their money. And when
- 4:58Speaker 1: when with the owners or the players that you don't
- 5:00Speaker 1: want to end up having to stop before you get
- 5:02Speaker 1: started if you want to get your money, because then
- 5:04Speaker 1: you're just not gonna get paid at all, you know.
- 5:06Speaker 1: So for the owners, I think from their standpoint, it's
- 5:09Speaker 1: kind of either all or nothing. Either let's get this
- 5:11Speaker 1: started and have a whole season, or let's just not
- 5:13Speaker 1: get it started at all, because I mean, we don't
- 5:15Speaker 1: want to pay salaries for two weeks and then all
- 5:17Speaker 1: of a sudden we have to shut down, and then
- 5:19Speaker 1: we still have to pay all the all the salaries
- 5:21Speaker 1: that are are going to be guaranteed at that point.
- 5:23Speaker 1: So it's an interesting situation and it's a complex situation.
- 5:29Speaker 1: And uh, and I think the NFL is certainly committed.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I mean I read the and saw that they had
- 5:34Speaker 1: committed with the company to where it would do the
- 5:37Speaker 1: testing or handle all the bulk of the testing for
- 5:40Speaker 1: COVID for the entire NFL. I don't know if it's
- 5:43Speaker 1: true or not. We're talking like seventy million commitment. I mean,
- 5:47Speaker 1: that's that's a significant that from what I read, that
- 5:49Speaker 1: includes players on a daily basis until there's a point
- 5:54Speaker 1: where there's a percentage of negatives. That's I forget the
- 5:57Speaker 1: exact number of negatives. They have to have to make
- 5:59Speaker 1: an every other day. Um yeah, that's that's a league
- 6:03Speaker 1: wide deal, and I think the teams, each individual team
- 6:06Speaker 1: would have to pay for additional test over a certain
- 6:08Speaker 1: number each day. Yeah. So yeah, I mean so they're
- 6:13Speaker 1: they're getting all their ducks in a row. I guess
- 6:16Speaker 1: you could say, to try to make the season happen.
- 6:19Speaker 1: What are you shocked? Dogs? You're you can't be shocked
- 6:22Speaker 1: that the last thing that it's going to come down
- 6:24Speaker 1: to is money. You could have done that first before
- 6:27Speaker 1: you do the testing stuff. It's really well well, I mean, look,
- 6:30Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's all it's only about money,
- 6:32Speaker 1: because I mean it's really not just about money. I
- 6:34Speaker 1: mean money is a big part of it, but safety
- 6:36Speaker 1: and and the players, health and well being, in the
- 6:40Speaker 1: in the staff, safety and health and well being. I
- 6:43Speaker 1: mean those things are all a big part of it too.
- 6:47Speaker 1: And they think that they have that part of it solves,
- 6:49Speaker 1: So now they're moving on to the money side of things.
- 6:52Speaker 1: So so there's a lot to consider and uh and
- 6:56Speaker 1: I know that, uh from the team's standpoint, I mean,
- 7:00Speaker 1: are all essentially preparing to make this happen. Um be
- 7:05Speaker 1: even us, I mean, what what what's our role going
- 7:08Speaker 1: to be? How much exposure do we get to the players?
- 7:12Speaker 1: How much are we going to be allowed to even
- 7:15Speaker 1: see anything? You know, because you don't allow a lot
- 7:18Speaker 1: of media members around your players. I mean, so there's
- 7:21Speaker 1: there's even plans that are being put in place now
- 7:24Speaker 1: to regulate any kind of exposure to the players from
- 7:29Speaker 1: a media standpoint, from any outside kind of contact standpoint. So, uh, look,
- 7:36Speaker 1: the league is ready to make this happen. And I
- 7:39Speaker 1: think it's great because I think people would be thrilled
- 7:44Speaker 1: to have a little bit of normalcy. But at the
- 7:47Speaker 1: same token, you know, you just want to make sure
- 7:48Speaker 1: that everybody is comfortable with that, and that's I think
- 7:50Speaker 1: why we also have the opt out ability for players
- 7:52Speaker 1: that maybe don't want to do it. Jeff Lockman with
- 7:56Speaker 1: US Jaguars analyst on Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday.
- 7:59Speaker 1: J let me ask you a question, what would your
- 8:03Speaker 1: comfort level be. I mean, let's say let's say you're
- 8:06Speaker 1: a coach. Okay, your coach, you have a wife, you
- 8:10Speaker 1: have kids at home. You know, they're various stages from
- 8:13Speaker 1: high school down to let's say, you know, fifth grade,
- 8:17Speaker 1: what would your comfort level be. It's a lot of
- 8:21Speaker 1: it's a lot of moving parts. I'll say that because
- 8:23Speaker 1: it's not a true bubble. You know, you're going home,
- 8:26Speaker 1: you're interacting, you're coming back. Everybody else and that a
- 8:29Speaker 1: so called work bubble is doing that, but it's not
- 8:32Speaker 1: a true bubble. You're going out of the bubble coming back.
- 8:35Speaker 1: So even with everyday testing is still a day behind. Um.
- 8:39Speaker 1: So yeah, if that were my sending stands, I would
- 8:42Speaker 1: feel a little bit differently than I do as a
- 8:44Speaker 1: single person going to work. Sure, and I think I
- 8:48Speaker 1: think also with from that standpoint, I mean, here, here's
- 8:53Speaker 1: the other part of that. You know, the NBA supposedly
- 8:56Speaker 1: they've had guys that have violated that bubble or that
- 8:59Speaker 1: are thinking about violating that bubble. At the NFL players,
- 9:04Speaker 1: we're not talking about keeping them in one city and
- 9:07Speaker 1: keeping them in a bubble. I mean that they have
- 9:09Speaker 1: to try to execute that bubble themselves, right, I mean
- 9:13Speaker 1: it's on them as individuals to try to do the
- 9:18Speaker 1: right thing when they're not at work. So as a
- 9:22Speaker 1: as a staff member, would you feel comfortable two three
- 9:25Speaker 1: year olds you know that maybe aren't doing the right things.
- 9:29Speaker 1: I mean, look, I mean, here's the reality. I mean,
- 9:31Speaker 1: when you're twenty three, I mean your bullet proof. You're
- 9:33Speaker 1: not worrying about some kind of virus. I mean, you're
- 9:37Speaker 1: like a man, let's just go. You know. So as
- 9:41Speaker 1: a staff member, are you are you fully comfortable around
- 9:45Speaker 1: you know, sixty five maybe a little bit more players
- 9:49Speaker 1: that maybe some of them aren't gonna be doing the
- 9:53Speaker 1: right thing. It's it's a fascinating question of how much
- 9:57Speaker 1: that interaction would happen to write, how much virtue rual
- 10:00Speaker 1: meeting time is there? I mean, you gotta be on
- 10:02Speaker 1: the practice field at some point, but how close do
- 10:05Speaker 1: you really interact? I think that's all. I don't know
- 10:09Speaker 1: what I mean, it's it's uh and and here's the
- 10:13Speaker 1: other thing with the Jaguars that that also kind of
- 10:18Speaker 1: puts a little bit of a I don't want to say,
- 10:21Speaker 1: a pretty uh serious curve into the plans of having
- 10:25Speaker 1: a trading camp and everything else. Oh, By the way,
- 10:28Speaker 1: you have the Republican National Convention coming to Jacksonville. So
- 10:34Speaker 1: if you have that, what do you do as an organization? Right?
- 10:38Speaker 1: I mean you're you're trying to create your own bubble.
- 10:42Speaker 1: But then you have this massive number of people that
- 10:45Speaker 1: are gonna be coming. I mean right there on your doorstep.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Are you gonna have to pack up and roll out?
- 10:51Speaker 1: And and if so, well you're trying to create another bubble, right,
- 10:56Speaker 1: I mean, it didn't that, I mean another challenge of
- 10:59Speaker 1: all things, right, just throw that on the top of
- 11:02Speaker 1: everything that's happened already. Yeah, I mean, look, it's hard
- 11:04Speaker 1: enough to do it when you're comfortable in your own environment,
- 11:09Speaker 1: but then you know, maybe you have to pack up
- 11:11Speaker 1: and leave and go somewhere. I mean, wow, wow wow.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Jeff Logan with US Jaguars analysts another report today. The
- 11:19Speaker 1: expectation now is that face shields will be recommended, not
- 11:24Speaker 1: required by players. Would you wear a full mask shield
- 11:30Speaker 1: if you played and had to play this year? Well,
- 11:34Speaker 1: the face shields, and I'm talking about the the I
- 11:37Speaker 1: shields came out in in the nineties and Chris Doleman
- 11:43Speaker 1: was a guy who wore it. Man, and then you
- 11:46Speaker 1: know you look cool because you kind of looked like Terminator,
- 11:49Speaker 1: you know, had the dark the dark lens, the kind
- 11:52Speaker 1: of thing. And I actually tried it, and I'm right there,
- 11:56Speaker 1: kind of same deal as J. G. Watt because I
- 11:58Speaker 1: remember reading how his experience was when he tried that
- 12:01Speaker 1: particular I shield And this is where this we're talking about. Now,
- 12:04Speaker 1: it's just the ideeiser, that's just the when you're talking
- 12:08Speaker 1: about the league's talking about so so so I'm I'm
- 12:11Speaker 1: gonna relate it to my experience with the I part
- 12:14Speaker 1: because when I had that on JP, I swear to
- 12:16Speaker 1: you I had it on for one day and I
- 12:19Speaker 1: felt I got claustrophobic. It was like, um, the difference
- 12:25Speaker 1: between being in a closed hot building with no airflow
- 12:30Speaker 1: whatsoever versus being in a pull barn and there's no walls,
- 12:34Speaker 1: there's no doors. It's just a breeze blowing freely with
- 12:37Speaker 1: a face mask only. So now I mean talking about
- 12:41Speaker 1: a face shield that covers the whole frontal area of
- 12:43Speaker 1: your face mask, I mean you want to talk about
- 12:47Speaker 1: the heat build up, the claustrophobic claustrophobia. I don't even
- 12:52Speaker 1: know if that's a word, but I mean I would
- 12:54Speaker 1: hate it. I would hate it. It would be not
- 12:58Speaker 1: I wan't say impossible, but I mean for some guys
- 13:01Speaker 1: that might be I mean from from a from a
- 13:03Speaker 1: mental claustrophobic standpoint, they'd be like, I can't do this.
- 13:07Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I don't know how that would work,
- 13:11Speaker 1: you know. And do you say, okay, well guys, let's
- 13:14Speaker 1: put on face mask under the helmet. Well, JP, I
- 13:19Speaker 1: mean we're we're all wearing we're all masking up these days, right.
- 13:22Speaker 1: We go to grocery store, we mask up, We go
- 13:24Speaker 1: to the hardware store, we mask up. We go to
- 13:27Speaker 1: grab a beer, you know, at a brewery, you know,
- 13:31Speaker 1: to walk out and carry home or whatever. You put
- 13:33Speaker 1: on mask on. And I don't know about you, but
- 13:37Speaker 1: for me, man, I can't wait to get out of
- 13:40Speaker 1: that store after five to ten minutes because that mask
- 13:44Speaker 1: is driving me crazy. Imagine running and pushing uh around you. No,
- 13:50Speaker 1: I can't, I mean I just can't. That's yeah. Wow,
- 13:55Speaker 1: that's that's hard. I mean, I don't. I don't understand
- 13:57Speaker 1: how you would do that. What final thought? Whether here logs.
- 14:00Speaker 1: There was a written story today on Jaguars dot com.
- 14:04Speaker 1: UH media members around the team here weighing in on
- 14:07Speaker 1: who will be the Jaguars defensive m v P this year.
- 14:10Speaker 1: You and I both went with Josh Alan. What can
- 14:12Speaker 1: we expect from him in year two overall? Now, and
- 14:16Speaker 1: how different for you, logs was year two for you
- 14:19Speaker 1: coming off your rookie season. That's probably a good way
- 14:21Speaker 1: to think about. Uh, well, it wasn't tremendously different from
- 14:23Speaker 1: me because I was making a position switch and Josh
- 14:25Speaker 1: won't be doing that. So I mean, so that's good
- 14:27Speaker 1: for him. Um So I'd be kind of comparing apples
- 14:30Speaker 1: to orange, me and him and our experiences. But he's
- 14:33Speaker 1: a mature, hard working, dedicated, He's got he's got everything
- 14:40Speaker 1: you want and and that's just fun. I'm talking about
- 14:44Speaker 1: just from the mental makeup standpoint. So you combine that
- 14:48Speaker 1: with superior physical skills and a year under his belt.
- 14:52Speaker 1: I mean, I just I expect him to get immensely
- 14:54Speaker 1: better and it's going to be exciting to watch him grow,
- 15:00Speaker 1: you know. And I think he's pretty unique too, because
- 15:02Speaker 1: you know, by comparing him to not in Gockway, and
- 15:04Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make the comparison here to knocking Gockway,
- 15:07Speaker 1: but Josh is bigger, and I think when you have
- 15:10Speaker 1: a bigger body, it gives you the ability to do
- 15:12Speaker 1: some more things than if you're a little bit smaller.
- 15:16Speaker 1: And I think that's the exciting part about Josh is
- 15:18Speaker 1: that he's got the size, and he's got the quickness,
- 15:22Speaker 1: and he's got the speed. And when you have all
- 15:24Speaker 1: of that put together in one package, that first of all,
- 15:27Speaker 1: it's very rare, But then it's also very exciting because
- 15:30Speaker 1: I think that the ceiling is higher when you have
- 15:33Speaker 1: all of the above over or under fourteen point seven
- 15:39Speaker 1: five sacks. I mean I would always go under on
- 15:42Speaker 1: that number because I mean, fourteen is a phenomenal number.
- 15:46Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you get double digit sacks in
- 15:48Speaker 1: the National Football League, I don't care who you are,
- 15:52Speaker 1: that's a phenomenal accomplishment. Double digit sacks is the bar
- 15:57Speaker 1: for me. I mean ten, you get over ten, you're
- 16:00Speaker 1: an elite pass rusher and one of the best in
- 16:03Speaker 1: the National Football League. If you if you can stay
- 16:05Speaker 1: there consistently, a lot of good stuff. Tell Mr Loghoman
- 16:09Speaker 1: happy birthday. I will do that, JP, and we'll talk
- 16:14Speaker 1: to you again next week, all right, JP, Joe, I
- 16:17Speaker 1: know you're listening there. Buddy, missen you guys. One of
- 16:20Speaker 1: these days we're gonna get back together and have a
- 16:21Speaker 1: radio show in person. Don't threaten us logs. We'll talk
- 16:27Speaker 1: to you guys. Jeff Lockman, Jaguars analysts joining us um

- 20:39Speaker 1: afternoon here in Jacksonville in this July J. P. Shattrick
- 20:42Speaker 1: from the home studio. We've been here since March nineteen.
- 20:46Speaker 1: We will be here for the at least foreseeable future.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Rookies and quarterbacks are reporting around the league. There's still
- 20:55Speaker 1: conversations between the players Association and the NFL about money.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Now it's come down to that, and we'll see next week.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Veterans are scheduled to report and start testing early next week.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone line and welcome in Jaguars
- 21:10Speaker 1: dot Com reporter Ashland Sullivan, who joins us now, Ashland,
- 21:14Speaker 1: good afternoon, Hello, how are you. I'm good here at
- 21:20Speaker 1: home once again, nothing's changed. Getting used to it, I
- 21:24Speaker 1: guess you could say, because we're here, might might as
- 21:28Speaker 1: well get used to it. Right. If you're not used
- 21:29Speaker 1: to it by now, you're never going to be used
- 21:32Speaker 1: to it. Unfortunately, used to it by now, that's right. Um,
- 21:36Speaker 1: you know, I we're all ready for a little football though.
- 21:40Speaker 1: I think you know obviously we've sat here this whole
- 21:43Speaker 1: offseason in the summer and went through the draft here
- 21:46Speaker 1: at home, and I got to meet some of the players,
- 21:49Speaker 1: the new guys virtually, and you know, just a lot
- 21:52Speaker 1: of that stuff. Um. There was the one instance of
- 21:55Speaker 1: the march from the stadium to j s O where
- 21:57Speaker 1: there was a little bit, very little bit of interaction
- 22:00Speaker 1: with some people. That was that was really the only time.
- 22:03Speaker 1: But I think Ashland we're all ready for. This is
- 22:05Speaker 1: the time where people get ramped up for training camp
- 22:08Speaker 1: and football things happen, and um, if you're in this
- 22:11Speaker 1: business or around the game or a fan, July late
- 22:16Speaker 1: July is what you gear up for. But now we
- 22:18Speaker 1: have to sit here and wait and see if it
- 22:19Speaker 1: really gets off the ground. Yeah, right now normally would
- 22:23Speaker 1: definitely be go time. I think the hardest thing has
- 22:27Speaker 1: been Normally, by now you at least have some understanding
- 22:30Speaker 1: of what the draft picks are like and what the
- 22:33Speaker 1: new free agents are like, obviously with Rocky Mini Camp
- 22:35Speaker 1: and O eight, and I think that's been at least.
- 22:37Speaker 1: The weirdest part for me is not really knowing these
- 22:40Speaker 1: guys personalities. I mean, we know what the veterans are
- 22:43Speaker 1: like and we still have a good relationship with them,
- 22:45Speaker 1: but these new guys He's talked to maybe once or
- 22:48Speaker 1: twice through a zoom call, but it just isn't the same.
- 22:51Speaker 1: And sadly, I don't think we'll get to know these
- 22:53Speaker 1: guys near as well as we've got to know you
- 22:55Speaker 1: guys past. Yeah, you have to have that daily interaction
- 22:58Speaker 1: in the locker room and or on the practice field,
- 23:01Speaker 1: or in the whole way or the lunch room or
- 23:03Speaker 1: wherever you run across these guys to really get a
- 23:06Speaker 1: full scope of their personalities. And I think you're you're
- 23:09Speaker 1: spot on there. You did. How you have been doing
- 23:13Speaker 1: interviews different content on the Jags social channels. I know
- 23:18Speaker 1: you started one a few weeks back or a little
- 23:21Speaker 1: while back. Now, Um, that's a throwdown, right? Is that
- 23:25Speaker 1: what it's called? Yeah, Dad Wars Throwdown for them and
- 23:28Speaker 1: by public. It is our bi weekly segments on Jaguars
- 23:32Speaker 1: dot com. And we kind of got the idea just
- 23:34Speaker 1: from watching different shows. And we never really had a
- 23:37Speaker 1: segment where we really gave guys that competitive nature. It
- 23:40Speaker 1: was always kind of just a conversations. We thought, why
- 23:43Speaker 1: not put two guys together and lets them If we
- 23:45Speaker 1: can't play football right now, you might as well play
- 23:48Speaker 1: some type of games. It's all kinds of different games.
- 23:50Speaker 1: A really fun segment. Definitely get a different look at
- 23:54Speaker 1: these players and their personality. When you see another play
- 23:58Speaker 1: player playing with them at we brings out a different
- 24:00Speaker 1: side of them. What was the last one that aired?
- 24:03Speaker 1: And when's the next one? We're all clamoring for it.
- 24:07Speaker 1: I hope. That was a great description. Now everyone's gonna
- 24:10Speaker 1: want to watch it. The last one that was actually
- 24:13Speaker 1: the last week we film one that went out today
- 24:16Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com and that was two of our
- 24:19Speaker 1: newest draft picks, Tyler Davis and Colin Johnson. That was
- 24:24Speaker 1: our fourth episode, So we will have another one coming
- 24:26Speaker 1: out in two weeks, but you could see the newest
- 24:29Speaker 1: one out today on Jaguars dot Com. And our first
- 24:33Speaker 1: one was Abrey Jones and d J. Hayden, and they
- 24:36Speaker 1: definitely set a very high bar because Abrey Jones just
- 24:40Speaker 1: does everything well on camera and gaming. He brings the
- 24:43Speaker 1: heat he does Ash with Sullivan was Jaguars dot Com
- 24:48Speaker 1: reporter and a host on Instagram Live this week. You
- 24:53Speaker 1: sat out with James O'Shaughnessy Jaguars tight end and you know,
- 24:58Speaker 1: I think that's that's the great mystery of out last year.
- 25:01Speaker 1: And there's obviously issues with the tight end position. There
- 25:03Speaker 1: have been issues with the tight end position around here
- 25:06Speaker 1: for years, mind you, But James O. Shaughnessy had a
- 25:10Speaker 1: little something going early last season, but in the fifth
- 25:13Speaker 1: game tore up his knee. He was done for the year.
- 25:15Speaker 1: He's been going through rehab the whole time. How has
- 25:19Speaker 1: James to deal with this week? And what do we
- 25:21Speaker 1: expect from him in a newly formed tight end room
- 25:24Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, he was definitely hopeful, and honestly I was.
- 25:29Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised that I'd sure you are aware
- 25:32Speaker 1: as well, uh DP that in the locker room at times,
- 25:35Speaker 1: and definitely was on camera things James is. It's not
- 25:38Speaker 1: his favorite thing to talk on camera, but he was
- 25:40Speaker 1: talking about as he was getting older and more experienced
- 25:43Speaker 1: in the NFL, like he realized that he can use
- 25:46Speaker 1: on camera things to his advantage and show his personality.
- 25:49Speaker 1: So it was definitely the best conversation I've ever had
- 25:52Speaker 1: with James O'Shaughnessy through a camera, and he was talking
- 25:56Speaker 1: about how difficult it was to know basically his career
- 26:00Speaker 1: was at the peak when he got hurt. He had
- 26:02Speaker 1: such a good relationship going with Gardner Minshew and they
- 26:05Speaker 1: had a great thing going to then get hurt, he said,
- 26:07Speaker 1: definitely was difficult, and sadly it's almost the point I
- 26:11Speaker 1: was this tight end group. When you see guys like
- 26:13Speaker 1: Josh Oliver and James O'Shaughnessy at times, you forget about
- 26:17Speaker 1: their impact because they did have such long injuries that
- 26:21Speaker 1: you had to stay patient with. But he said kind
- 26:23Speaker 1: of COVID has been a good thing for him because
- 26:26Speaker 1: it's given him extra time to rehab. Like as of
- 26:28Speaker 1: right now, he said, I would have had to sit
- 26:30Speaker 1: out of O T A S in mini camp, I
- 26:32Speaker 1: would have been able to participate. That would have been
- 26:34Speaker 1: like cutting open the wound all over again, not being
- 26:37Speaker 1: able to be there on the field of my teammates.
- 26:39Speaker 1: That now when we hit the field, I'll be ready
- 26:41Speaker 1: to go. And if I'm not mistaken, he's one of
- 26:44Speaker 1: the few players since he was in a rehab protocol
- 26:47Speaker 1: before COVID hit that he was allowed to go to
- 26:49Speaker 1: the building and continue that rehab during this whole thing.
- 26:52Speaker 1: She was, She said, he's been there every single day.
- 26:55Speaker 1: He said, as of right now, because of all the
- 26:57Speaker 1: negotiations going on, he hasn't been able to be there
- 26:59Speaker 1: the week or a half or so. But he was
- 27:02Speaker 1: big time crediting the trainers for with all of this
- 27:05Speaker 1: stuff going on, all the coronavirus things the athletic trainers
- 27:08Speaker 1: had to deal with an adapt to He said he
- 27:10Speaker 1: always felt like he was priority number one in that building,
- 27:13Speaker 1: and he said, I'm almost kind of glad to have
- 27:16Speaker 1: a brake from them because I've been with them every
- 27:18Speaker 1: single day since mid October. Ashelan Sullivan, with US jagu
- 27:22Speaker 1: Bars dot Com reporter and host Jaguars dot Com written
- 27:26Speaker 1: piece this week, I believe we're out today who will
- 27:30Speaker 1: be the defensive m v P? And it was a
- 27:33Speaker 1: host of media people around the team. You and I
- 27:35Speaker 1: were included on that and we had the same answer,
- 27:39Speaker 1: Josh Allen. You saw him though. You had a note
- 27:41Speaker 1: in this article today that you had a close up
- 27:44Speaker 1: look at him at the Pro Bowl and got a
- 27:47Speaker 1: little more insight to the way he operates around other pros. Yes,
- 27:52Speaker 1: it was very cool to see Josh Allen in a
- 27:56Speaker 1: Pro Bowl atmosphere. I mean, we've only ever seen him
- 27:59Speaker 1: at the stadium Roado leg games. I've never really seen
- 28:01Speaker 1: him outside of his comfort zone. It was like a
- 28:04Speaker 1: kid in the candy shop. And I feel like like
- 28:06Speaker 1: a time younger players like they kindn't want to act
- 28:09Speaker 1: cool and act like they've been there before. Josh was
- 28:12Speaker 1: the complete opposite, Like he was saying how cool it
- 28:14Speaker 1: was to be there every single time minute, going up
- 28:17Speaker 1: to every guy. He couldn't meet in introducing himself. Um,
- 28:20Speaker 1: and the coolest thing, which I wrote in this article
- 28:22Speaker 1: was he was walking up onto the field with von
- 28:25Speaker 1: Miller and they were going through moves and you could
- 28:27Speaker 1: just tell how cool it was to have a conversation
- 28:30Speaker 1: with someone like that, and awesome for von Miller to
- 28:33Speaker 1: take the time out and really, you know, teach him something.
- 28:35Speaker 1: But it definitely seemed like it was an impassful thing
- 28:38Speaker 1: for Josh to be there and meet all these people
- 28:40Speaker 1: that hopefully will get to their level one day. There're
- 28:43Speaker 1: a couple of different answers from the group. This is
- 28:46Speaker 1: the group around the Jags radio team, digital media team,
- 28:50Speaker 1: on air, folks television group, all that stuff. So, um,
- 28:54Speaker 1: there were a couple. There was a show Bert thrown
- 28:55Speaker 1: in there. I think there was a Miles Jack in
- 28:57Speaker 1: there as well, But the prevailing answer was Josh Allen.
- 29:00Speaker 1: I think that's after his season. Yeah, that's pretty pretty
- 29:04Speaker 1: much the obvious one. Now, you know, if somebody else
- 29:08Speaker 1: beats out Josh Allen and Josh still has a good year,
- 29:11Speaker 1: well that's even better for this team. But going into
- 29:14Speaker 1: it so far, Josh Allen kind of seems to be
- 29:16Speaker 1: the guy all right, So, Ashlyn, what you got coming up?
- 29:19Speaker 1: I know there's um you know, that's the big question.
- 29:22Speaker 1: What is coming up? Because the schedules have changed a
- 29:25Speaker 1: little bit, We're still waiting to see what the outcome
- 29:28Speaker 1: is of this negotiation and the testing and so the
- 29:32Speaker 1: actual I think daily shows starting is a little bit
- 29:35Speaker 1: up in the air, but at least on social channels.
- 29:39Speaker 1: What do you have coming up in the next week
- 29:41Speaker 1: or so? Yes, So we're exciting. Um this time needs
- 29:45Speaker 1: Instagram Lives been doing have kind of been something to
- 29:48Speaker 1: fill the time in the off season, and we're excited
- 29:50Speaker 1: to say that we're going to continue this segment going
- 29:52Speaker 1: into football season. I think it's a great platform to
- 29:55Speaker 1: give these guys kind of a more casual conversation. We've
- 29:58Speaker 1: seen a bunch of times for their teammates will jump
- 30:01Speaker 1: in and common or they have their wives their family
- 30:04Speaker 1: members comedy. So it's a great way to kind of
- 30:06Speaker 1: get them in a more relaxed atmosphere. So Instagram Live

- 35:21Speaker 1: another week here at home, you know, um, and but
- 35:24Speaker 1: we're another week closer we think to football season. You know,
- 35:30Speaker 1: that's that's the goal, isn't it. I mean, it's uh,
- 35:34Speaker 1: it's interesting, you know. You know, ever since this COVID
- 35:38Speaker 1: night team pandemic to started, we've seen you know, sports
- 35:42Speaker 1: league kind of you know, be canceled and going or
- 35:46Speaker 1: be delayed and then as they all work to come
- 35:48Speaker 1: back and all of us is part of the kind
- 35:51Speaker 1: of statback and watched is the conversations of the commissioners
- 35:55Speaker 1: and then the unions versus the league. And you know,
- 35:59Speaker 1: whether it's been baseball which didn't go very well at all,
- 36:02Speaker 1: but now they're figuring out you know, the shortened season,
- 36:05Speaker 1: and we've seen what basketball has done with the bubble
- 36:07Speaker 1: and the back and forth there, and golf is probably
- 36:10Speaker 1: the easiest one to come back, UM in this process
- 36:13Speaker 1: based on the environment that we all live in. And now,
- 36:16Speaker 1: you know, in my thought, at least JP dur and
- 36:19Speaker 1: the whole time like, oh, you know this is you know,
- 36:21Speaker 1: the NFL figured out. You know, you know, by the
- 36:24Speaker 1: by the time we get to football, you know, all
- 36:25Speaker 1: this will be sorted out. And you fast forward and
- 36:28Speaker 1: we stit here today, UM, and it feels like we're
- 36:32Speaker 1: just still trying to figure it out. And now we're
- 36:34Speaker 1: kind of in this similar situation we've seen the other
- 36:36Speaker 1: leagues and where you know, you're hoping that you're gonna
- 36:40Speaker 1: get started, but we don't know when, um, And we
- 36:43Speaker 1: really don't know what it's gonna look like as as
- 36:45Speaker 1: the league and the union kind of UM work through
- 36:49Speaker 1: the the big issues that have to be solved, everything
- 36:52Speaker 1: from the testing and protocols there. It looks like they've
- 36:54Speaker 1: gotten that settled, but then you know all the things
- 36:57Speaker 1: around the economics and what happens when someone test positive. UM,
- 37:02Speaker 1: you know how that's gonna be sorted out during the year. Um,
- 37:06Speaker 1: and then all the antler things that kind of surround
- 37:09Speaker 1: the game of football, like yours nice job, um calling
- 37:12Speaker 1: the games on Sundays and you know, shows and coverage
- 37:16Speaker 1: and uh so it's uh, it's sure, sure, it's an
- 37:19Speaker 1: interesting time that we slide ourselves in Tony Boselli with
- 37:22Speaker 1: US Jaguars analyst on Jaguars Happy Hour and I think
- 37:25Speaker 1: I touched on this last week. You know, we there's
- 37:29Speaker 1: twenty five active players in baseball a little more at
- 37:33Speaker 1: the start of this season because of the circumstances eleven
- 37:36Speaker 1: players on the field for each team. In soccer, um,
- 37:40Speaker 1: NBA has what twelve guys on the active roster. There's
- 37:44Speaker 1: fifty three active players in the NFL and probably six
- 37:49Speaker 1: team practice squad guys this year and twenty coaches. I mean,
- 37:52Speaker 1: it is by far the most challenging in terms of
- 37:56Speaker 1: numbers of any sport I can think of terms of testing, well,
- 38:02Speaker 1: the numbers, the way the game is played with the
- 38:05Speaker 1: you know, the contact and not you know, not just
- 38:08Speaker 1: on game day, but also what it takes to be
- 38:10Speaker 1: prepared for a game, so if to camp and practice
- 38:13Speaker 1: and uh and everything else Yeah, I think it is
- 38:15Speaker 1: the most complex, just because of the nature of the
- 38:18Speaker 1: game and the number of players. Uh tony part of
- 38:21Speaker 1: that negotiation, it sounds like there are no preseason games.
- 38:24Speaker 1: I haven't officially said that, but all the conversations kind
- 38:27Speaker 1: of were coming out over the last few days. So
- 38:31Speaker 1: how difficult is it to figure out your fifty three
- 38:34Speaker 1: without preseason games? And how difficult is it for a
- 38:39Speaker 1: late round pick or an undrafted player without those games
- 38:42Speaker 1: to make a roster? Now, Um, I think it's difficult.
- 38:47Speaker 1: I think it's tough because you know, if you're a
- 38:51Speaker 1: head coach and GM like Dave Colwillen and Doug Barrone,
- 38:55Speaker 1: you use camp in preseason games. You get a real
- 38:58Speaker 1: sense of how um your draft picks, especially your late
- 39:03Speaker 1: round draft picks, and the free agents that are going
- 39:06Speaker 1: to kind of fell out the last you know, five
- 39:08Speaker 1: ten spots if your roster, of how they can contribute
- 39:11Speaker 1: on special teams as role players and as such. Um.
- 39:16Speaker 1: And it takes time because you don't know these guys
- 39:18Speaker 1: at all, um. And so now without those reps and
- 39:22Speaker 1: without those opportunities, I think human nature goes to, hey,
- 39:28Speaker 1: let's go with what we know. The known quality of
- 39:32Speaker 1: players that we have worked with, UM, that have been
- 39:35Speaker 1: a part of our system, and by the way, if
- 39:37Speaker 1: they haven't, we're gonna go with the ones that we've
- 39:39Speaker 1: invested a lot of money in, you know, high price,
- 39:42Speaker 1: high price free agents that you've seen play on other teams.
- 39:44Speaker 1: You have a good sense to what they can do.
- 39:46Speaker 1: And then obviously you're you know, top three or four
- 39:49Speaker 1: rounds of your draft because you've invested draft capital and
- 39:52Speaker 1: in dollars around guaranteed money and those individuals. So UM,
- 39:56Speaker 1: just by the very nature of what we're facing in
- 39:58Speaker 1: the time crunch, in the lack of reps UM, I
- 40:02Speaker 1: think you find yourselves. You know, it's always an until
- 40:04Speaker 1: battle when you're undrafted, free agent or a late round pick.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Excuse me, but I think it's even more difficult now
- 40:10Speaker 1: because you're knock outing the opportunity to show what you
- 40:12Speaker 1: can do. Tony was Selly with US Jaguars analysts. I'm
- 40:17Speaker 1: asked logs this earlier, and I'm curious if you're thoughts
- 40:21Speaker 1: on this as well. The face shield idea on helmets,
- 40:25Speaker 1: we always not always sometimes some players where the visors,
- 40:30Speaker 1: but now the expectations that face shields that cover the
- 40:34Speaker 1: the nose and the mouth on the lower part of
- 40:35Speaker 1: the face mask will be recommended but not required. Oakley
- 40:40Speaker 1: is developing these things right to limit the spread of droplets.
- 40:44Speaker 1: But if you were playing Tony, would you or would
- 40:47Speaker 1: you not wear one and one? I would not want to.
- 40:52Speaker 1: I know that, um, because I like wearing as little
- 40:55Speaker 1: as possible, and especially thinking the heat, you know, I
- 41:00Speaker 1: would want to test it at the very least understand
- 41:03Speaker 1: you know, how much heat will kind of hold within
- 41:07Speaker 1: the face mask, and is breathing different or anything like that.
- 41:11Speaker 1: So I know, I wouldn't want to, Um what I
- 41:14Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, probably if I felt like
- 41:17Speaker 1: it was going to keep the safer and people around
- 41:19Speaker 1: the game safer so that we could play the game.
- 41:21Speaker 1: So if there was some data point that the league had,
- 41:26Speaker 1: or Oakley had, or some scientists had or medical doctor
- 41:28Speaker 1: had that said, if you do this, it's gonna help
- 41:31Speaker 1: um stop, you know, limit the spread and going to
- 41:35Speaker 1: give you a better chance of playing all sixteen games
- 41:38Speaker 1: than I probably would. Now if I'm stitting at my
- 41:40Speaker 1: seat where I've already had it, and I feel like,
- 41:44Speaker 1: you know, and I had the antibodies, and that would
- 41:46Speaker 1: like days kind of my thought process as well. But
- 41:50Speaker 1: I would hope that my mind would be, what is
- 41:53Speaker 1: this best way to ensure that we get to play
- 41:56Speaker 1: a full season? If that neat means for this year,
- 41:58Speaker 1: I need to wear this kind of plexi glass or
- 42:01Speaker 1: some clear plastic h yes, you know, mouth shield or
- 42:05Speaker 1: no shield or whatever it is. Um, then I probably would.
- 42:08Speaker 1: Tony was SELLI with us the last couple of minutes
- 42:10Speaker 1: with the pride of the Jaguars left tackle and Jaguars analysts,
- 42:14Speaker 1: you know, all to go back, Tony to the conversation
- 42:16Speaker 1: between the p A and the NFL. Here it's come
- 42:19Speaker 1: down to a few different things, but that the money
- 42:21Speaker 1: and and really how any shortfalls and revenue artistpersed. One
- 42:27Speaker 1: side would like it over an eleven years cb A,
- 42:31Speaker 1: it would be the players, whereas we have reports that
- 42:34Speaker 1: the league wants it over this year and next year.
- 42:37Speaker 1: Where do you think that falls in the end of
- 42:39Speaker 1: the day, Oh gosh, I mean, I think in all
- 42:44Speaker 1: these things that you know, we go back to when
- 42:46Speaker 1: the c b A is negotiated, and we go back
- 42:49Speaker 1: to two thousand eleven, where you know, it goes to
- 42:51Speaker 1: the eleventh hour. Um. Ultimately, I think it's going to
- 42:53Speaker 1: get figured out, and I think, yeah, let me say
- 42:56Speaker 1: what I hope. I hope what happens is that both
- 42:58Speaker 1: sides understand and that there's gonna have to be spacified
- 43:02Speaker 1: by each side because of what we're facing in these
- 43:05Speaker 1: unprecedented times. And the hard part of the the players
- 43:09Speaker 1: is um having a longer term view, because if you're
- 43:13Speaker 1: a player that maybe that's on their last year or two,
- 43:17Speaker 1: your mindset is like, hey, I need to get as
- 43:19Speaker 1: much as I can right now. UM. But at the
- 43:21Speaker 1: same time, you know, this is why we have a
- 43:23Speaker 1: union here. I'm hoping the union leadership is looking at
- 43:27Speaker 1: the longer term view, working with the owners and understanding
- 43:30Speaker 1: that because of this that if we don't get this
- 43:33Speaker 1: right and if we don't work together, then there's going
- 43:36Speaker 1: to could be some really really uh tough deficients next year.
- 43:41Speaker 1: With the cat fluctuating downward a downward manner in a
- 43:45Speaker 1: huge way, that would you know, have a material effect
- 43:51Speaker 1: on what teams would be able to spend on players,
- 43:55Speaker 1: and you then would see I think a number of
- 43:57Speaker 1: good players paid a lot of money UM probably let go,
- 44:02Speaker 1: and a lot of movement that I don't think any
- 44:03Speaker 1: that's good for the game, well, good for anyone. Ton
- 44:06Speaker 1: of good stuff. So you gotta run, appreciate your time.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Always gonna catch up with you, you know, J anytime.
- 44:12Speaker 1: How are you doing? I mean, I mean we you
- 44:14Speaker 1: you ask everyone else, and you're always so concerned about
- 44:18Speaker 1: all of our health and safety and the league and
- 44:19Speaker 1: everything else. How's JP shattered? Well, I'm here, I'm good. Um,
- 44:23Speaker 1: you know, I'm not hiding at home though. I mean,
- 44:25Speaker 1: I get out, I go eat, I come back, I
- 44:27Speaker 1: wash my hands, I use the sanitizer and the mask,
- 44:30Speaker 1: and you know, I go out and do my thing
- 44:32Speaker 1: and come back. That's that's really, Uh, that's really my
- 44:36Speaker 1: day these days. I have I smoked a lot more
- 44:38Speaker 1: cigars than I probably should. But that's you know, comes
- 44:42Speaker 1: with a territory. That's okay. Though, Oh it's it's it's
- 44:45Speaker 1: a tough time right now. And you know, and everyone
- 44:47Speaker 1: listened to us, I mean, everyone's trying to figure this out.
- 44:50Speaker 1: And uh, and I think, you know, hopefully we're all
- 44:53Speaker 1: thinking of not such our selves but other people as
- 44:56Speaker 1: we make these decisions. And what's the best way for
- 44:58Speaker 1: us to hopefully get this COVID nine team behind us.
- 45:03Speaker 1: Hopefully get to the vaccine or get to a point
- 45:05Speaker 1: where we can get back to some normal normality. And
- 45:09Speaker 1: and I know, like you boy, I'm sure hoping we
- 45:11Speaker 1: play football this year. I think that'd be a selfishly
- 45:14Speaker 1: be great for meet. I enjoyed so much and I
- 45:17Speaker 1: can't imagine the fall without football. But I think it'd
- 45:20Speaker 1: be good for everybody to just to all the people
- 45:21Speaker 1: who love this game and hopefully UH for a few
- 45:25Speaker 1: hours on Sundays, Monday nights and Thursday nights that we
- 45:28Speaker 1: can kind of take our mind off what's going on
- 45:30Speaker 1: and UH root for our favorite team. We're so close
- 45:33Speaker 1: to getting off the runway for this preseason, or at least,
- 45:37Speaker 1: but I got we're not there yet. Let's go one
- 45:41Speaker 1: more a couple of minutes. I got a question for
- 45:42Speaker 1: what do you What was your what was your reaction
- 45:46Speaker 1: to the football Washington football team the changing of the
- 45:50Speaker 1: name UH of the U of the football team up
- 45:55Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. I think it's a good move
- 45:58Speaker 1: because it gives you organization a little more time to
- 46:01Speaker 1: figure out the real right way to go with a nickname. UM.
- 46:05Speaker 1: They can do a little more research into it, get
- 46:07Speaker 1: some more input from a bunch of different parties if
- 46:10Speaker 1: they'd like. And why not. You have soccer teams that
- 46:13Speaker 1: are called you know, uh SO and so FC, so
- 46:17Speaker 1: they don't have nicknames either, So why not try it
- 46:20Speaker 1: for a year. Um, and you know, I'm we're gonna
- 46:24Speaker 1: have to put a fine system in place. So for
- 46:26Speaker 1: every time I say Redskins, I'll say that because it's
- 46:28Speaker 1: not gonna go away easy. But um, but I think
- 46:31Speaker 1: it's I think it's a good, good move for this year.
- 46:33Speaker 1: It gives them a little more flexibility. Well, we're always
- 46:36Speaker 1: so you know, we're so trained to talk about teams
- 46:39Speaker 1: like we have I mean, following them since we're kids,
- 46:41Speaker 1: and now covering them. I mean, how how often have
- 46:44Speaker 1: we all slipped and said the San Diego Chargers instead
- 46:47Speaker 1: of the Los Angeles starts robbly? It probably took you know,
- 46:50Speaker 1: a good year. We're seeing it in a half to
- 46:53Speaker 1: kind of get over call, you know, call that that
- 46:56Speaker 1: team the wrong name, no doubt. So we'll have that
- 46:59Speaker 1: same situation here, I think. But hey, good move. And
- 47:02Speaker 1: they're keeping the colors. They're they're putting the numbers on
- 47:04Speaker 1: the helmets like Alabama Tony, So you can't you can't
- 47:06Speaker 1: lose that way. Yeah, yeah, I really You know, it's
- 47:09Speaker 1: funny when you say that, because when I saw when
- 47:12Speaker 1: I saw that today, I immediately saw it, Like my goodness,
- 47:16Speaker 1: here we go. I have to listen to to JP
- 47:18Speaker 1: tell me about Alabama and the influence that it has
- 47:22Speaker 1: across the world of football. Well, I mean, half their
- 47:25Speaker 1: rosters from Alabama anyway, so they might as well. Good,
- 47:29Speaker 1: they're all comfortable with it. They might as well put
- 47:31Speaker 1: the numbers on there. Good stuff, Tony, Good to talk
- 47:33Speaker 1: to you, all right, man, Tony was Selly proud of
- 47:36Speaker 1: the Jaguars left tackle. Joining us here on Jaguars Happy Area.

- 51:34Speaker 1: Shadrick Again, if you're watching on Jaguars dot com, you
- 51:37Speaker 1: just had a nice view of the heart Bridge and uh,
- 51:40Speaker 1: you know it's funny today I was. I drove around
- 51:43Speaker 1: a little side story here before we go around the
- 51:45Speaker 1: National Football thing um, and I drove downtown. I haven't
- 51:49Speaker 1: been down that way by the stadium in a while. Uh,
- 51:53Speaker 1: And the testing site has now gone out of lot.
- 51:55Speaker 1: J has moved to a few different new testing sites
- 51:58Speaker 1: around town, so the parking lot was empty. Didn't go
- 52:02Speaker 1: anywhere near the building or anything like that. Once drove
- 52:05Speaker 1: around Gator Bowl Drive and just to see and guess what,
- 52:09Speaker 1: the the viaduct off of the heart Bridge to downtown
- 52:13Speaker 1: has gone totally gone and totally cleared out. And turning
- 52:19Speaker 1: the corner in front of w j c T, the
- 52:21Speaker 1: public radio station, they're heading towards downtown, all of a
- 52:25Speaker 1: sudden you have the big view of the main street
- 52:28Speaker 1: bridge from there. It's wide open out of the river.
- 52:31Speaker 1: Um and if you get a chance check it out
- 52:33Speaker 1: down there. It's a stark difference, I think, in a
- 52:37Speaker 1: very good way. Hopefully for the months ahead to start
- 52:42Speaker 1: some development in that area downtown. But pretty cool to
- 52:46Speaker 1: see and that that's happened. Well, they just started it
- 52:49Speaker 1: at the start of the pandemic and now it's pretty
- 52:52Speaker 1: much all then that the demolition work seems to be done,
- 52:57Speaker 1: so um. Now the next step is digging some holes
- 53:01Speaker 1: in the ground across the street over there in a
- 53:03Speaker 1: lot j Hopefully that'll happen at some point soon. Also
- 53:07Speaker 1: today we mentioned all these other sports you know, starting
- 53:12Speaker 1: back up soccer. Liverpool won the Premier League the Championship.
- 53:17Speaker 1: The Fulham yesterday full of Football Club owned by shot
- 53:21Speaker 1: Con had a chance to make it to the second
- 53:25Speaker 1: spot in the in the standings, but they they had
- 53:29Speaker 1: to have some things go their way. They didn't. They
- 53:31Speaker 1: finished fourth, so they're in the playoff to get the
- 53:33Speaker 1: third automatic promotion spot, which they a few years ago
- 53:37Speaker 1: ended up winning that that big game at Wembley to
- 53:40Speaker 1: get up. So good luck to full him over the
- 53:42Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. And yes, other sports getting started tonight.
- 53:46Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is back. The Yankees and the Nationals
- 53:50Speaker 1: in Washington at seven o eight. Dr Fauci will throw
- 53:53Speaker 1: out the first pitch. Garrett Cole and Max Scherzer on

- 53:58Speaker 1: in the World Series. And then tonight ten clock, ten
- 54:00Speaker 1: o eight Eastern time, the Giants and the Dodgers. Johnny
- 54:03Speaker 1: Quato for San Francisco and former Jacksonville's son Clayton Kershaw

- 54:12Speaker 1: opening day with the Los Angeles Dodgers over the years.
- 54:15Speaker 1: We'll see if you can do it again. But baseball
- 54:16Speaker 1: is back for real tonight. Well, so let's hope football
- 54:21Speaker 1: can get back at some point soon. Let's go around
- 54:23Speaker 1: the National Football League and and Tony touched on this
- 54:26Speaker 1: just a moment ago. The Washington football team. That's the
- 54:30Speaker 1: new name, at least in the interim in d C.
- 54:33Speaker 1: According to an announcement by Washington Today, the color scheme
- 54:37Speaker 1: stays the same. They'll take the logo off the helmet
- 54:41Speaker 1: and they'll add numbers jersey numbers to the helmet in
- 54:44Speaker 1: place of that old logo. The process of a permanent
- 54:47Speaker 1: name and finding that name continues with the team said
- 54:51Speaker 1: today they'll take input from players, alumni, fans, sponsors, and
- 54:55Speaker 1: the community for the new team name, whatever it will be.
- 54:59Speaker 1: But at seeing that this year they will be called
- 55:01Speaker 1: the Washington Football Team, and merchandise with Washington Football Team
- 55:07Speaker 1: will go online. You're already seeing some of it pop
- 55:10Speaker 1: up on social media in the last the few hours
- 55:13Speaker 1: or so that since the announcement this morning, but it
- 55:16Speaker 1: will go online and start selling in the coming days.
- 55:19Speaker 1: Jets are in the news. Jets owner and US Ambassador
- 55:22Speaker 1: to the United Kingdom, Woody Johnson is under fire this
- 55:24Speaker 1: week after a report of him making sexists and racist
- 55:27Speaker 1: comments the government staffers while serving as ambassador. Now Johnson
- 55:32Speaker 1: denied that rapport on Twitter this week, and he also
- 55:35Speaker 1: insisted that he didn't violate any government ethics rules. That was.
- 55:38Speaker 1: A separate report suggested that he did by attempting to
- 55:42Speaker 1: get the Open Championship commonly knows known as the British
- 55:46Speaker 1: Open played at a course owned by President Trump. Quote
- 55:49Speaker 1: from Woody Johnson said, quote I followed the ethical rules
- 55:53Speaker 1: and requirements of my office at all times. End quote.
- 55:57Speaker 1: We'll see where that story takes us moving ahead as well.
- 56:02Speaker 1: Um and that is our quick look around the National
- 56:05Speaker 1: Football League. One final note today late breaking green Bay
- 56:09Speaker 1: apparently bidding to host the NFL Draft. Packers president Mark
- 56:15Speaker 1: Murphy told shareholders in a virtual meeting that Green Bay
- 56:18Speaker 1: is a finalist to host the draft that year. Of course,
- 56:22Speaker 1: the Las Vegas lost the draft this year due to
- 56:24Speaker 1: the pandemic, so the league awarded the draft to Las Vegas.
- 56:32Speaker 1: Is already slated for Cleveland, and then is scheduled in
- 56:37Speaker 1: Kansas City. So green Bay is a knocking on the
- 56:41Speaker 1: door as a finalist, they say in and I think
- 56:45Speaker 1: the hopes here, of course, we're when Daily's place was
- 56:49Speaker 1: open that at some point Jacksonville could be a candidate
- 56:53Speaker 1: to host the NFL Draft. But it takes, in my opinion,
- 56:58Speaker 1: it takes the development around all that to happen to
- 57:01Speaker 1: attract events like that as well. Because the infrastructure and
- 57:05Speaker 1: the way things are set up as it sits today,
- 57:08Speaker 1: it would be very difficult to bring in that type
- 57:11Speaker 1: of crowd, that type of environment for three days straight,
- 57:15Speaker 1: uh and really make it sing downtown. So I think
- 57:17Speaker 1: lot J is is vital for any bid like that,
- 57:21Speaker 1: not that they couldn't bid already, and you know, probably executed.
- 57:25Speaker 1: But to make it it's full extent that it could
- 57:27Speaker 1: be and do the city in the NFL proud, I
- 57:30Speaker 1: think it's gotta have that full development behind it as well.
- 57:34Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens on the NFL UH draft
- 57:38Speaker 1: in a few years away. I mean, let's just get
- 57:41Speaker 1: to the season before we before we go too far
- 57:45Speaker 1: down the line here that we already saw that can
- 57:48Speaker 1: execute a draft virtually, and it actually, in some ways
- 57:52Speaker 1: it was a little better for television, I think than
- 57:55Speaker 1: some of the things you saw in the years passed
- 57:58Speaker 1: in the NFL draft. This was an undraft to be
- 58:01Speaker 1: a part of, to see in people's homes and and
- 58:04Speaker 1: gm s and head coaches houses and the setups, and
- 58:07Speaker 1: it was a it was a pretty cool scene. Um.
- 58:09Speaker 1: But obviously we'd love to have the draft back in person.
- 58:13Speaker 1: That means things are back and open again. But I
- 58:16Speaker 1: think you could take some pieces of what happened the
- 58:18Speaker 1: draft this past year, and the league will likely use
- 58:21Speaker 1: some of those lessons they learned in covering the draft
- 58:24Speaker 1: like that and move it to years ahead. The occults today.
- 58:29Speaker 1: A postponed Robert Mathis is induction of the Ring of
- 58:32Speaker 1: Honor until of course Jaguars fans, no math is very well.
- 58:38Speaker 1: They wanted to have fans involved in that. So the
- 58:43Speaker 1: only way really to do that to a full effect,
- 58:46Speaker 1: to a full stadium is to wait a year or
- 58:49Speaker 1: some so then you have it. Look around. The National
- 58:51Speaker 1: Football League are show next week four o'clock Thursdays as
