Tis the Season · Sports Exchange

0:24
Good evening everybody for the last time in twenty twenty three to another edition of
0:29
the Sports Exchange, and I'll tell you what. We've had a great run
0:33
this year, but we have a lot of big things that looking ahead.
0:37
So before I get to some of the company business, I want to take
0:40
care of the people that I consider my supporting cast, my brothers, and
0:44
a lot of other good stuff. Family. To my right, Jamie Ellis,
0:48
how's it going, everybody? I'm doing all right? What about you?
0:52
Jacob? Feeling good? And every time I get the right rights on
0:55
there, I look at you one hundred gray hair set. Baby, Well
0:59
you're better to have instead of ay, although some people and my family anyways,
1:03
sorry, Joe, no, nothing intended. But when I talked about
1:06
family members, you know that don't have it, and that's where we talk.
1:11
So you know it doesn't matter. Probably at least with your situation.
1:15
You don't have to worry about haircuts. Of course I don't get bout them
1:19
either, because you know a lot except when he gets along in the back,
1:22
all right, George, iycorn Ah, good to be on there,
1:23
guys. We're a great holiday season. We wish for everybody. Yep,
1:29
yeah, sure, let me get some company business first, Okay, And
1:32
that says, and you know what, I'm not gonna do that. I'm
1:34
Denzil Snipes are he's and actually he's committed to coming on here. So I'm
1:40
gonna go to a five man booth in a couple of weeks. When Denzel
1:42
gets gone, we're gonna deal with him. Oh why not once in a
1:46
while. We gotta. We have to support our own. Mister Ellis,
1:49
you know that rolls, and he's as good as one of our own as
1:53
I've ever seen in this industry. So let's put this whole thing into proper
1:57
context. Okay. And that's the sports which age is only being broadcast on

Florida Tribute dot com, Twitter, slash acts at Tribute South Kandie Ebling is
2:45
behind the scene. My book. It's called Lessons from the Media Tuning into
2:49
the enduring wisdom of visionary Leaders, and that pretty much talks about old school
2:53
media versus the news school media programming. Note at the end of January,
2:58
the Sports Exchange and pun that fund that will be launching, like I said,
3:02
at the end of January on NNGBN TV, on Roku, Apple TV,
3:07
Amazon and mobile devices. Now this will stagger you folks. It will
3:13
be in eighty five percent of the homes in the US and Canada and four
3:16
point one billion mobile devices. Now I can't count the four point one billion.
3:23
Really won't have to worry about it. But that's a lot. All
3:25
right. With that said, let's get let's get to the agenda. I
3:30
kind of end I did end with it on pund this fundet, but now
3:34
I want to put it in front of all of us, and we'll lead
3:37
off with you Joe the Jets, Aaron Rodgers was activated from injured reserve but
3:42
not expected to return this season. Does that move make any sense at all?
3:52
Yes? No, and maybe so I'll give you all the reasons.
3:55
No, because if he gets hurt, the dubest movement sports history. Maybe
4:00
because you know it's the Jets, they got to be in the news cycle.
4:05
And yes, because he's our Rogers and he wants to be the quickest
4:09
person I ever come back over achilles injury, which who cares because you're not
4:14
going to play anyway because your team's got a playoff contention. So yes,
4:17
no, it may be so all three before we go ahead and turn over
4:23
to Jacob, Candy listens from the microphone, and then the next is,
4:27
here's a link to get it. There you go, folks, there's a
4:30
link. We've missed it the first time. It'll be on our website.
4:33
She's gonna be working on that, but I want to make sure you can.
4:36
I got up my book. It's a good opportunity. It's a good
4:40
Christmas present for people aspiring to get in this industry and learn what it once
4:44
was versus what it is so thanks Candy for putting it out there. All
4:46
right, Jacob, Oh yeah, I mean, here's the thing about this
4:53
is that he was talking about, oh I am about one hundred percent,
4:57
be about three to four weeks. You want to know what it would benefit
5:00
would have won that game against Miami ninety eight percent next week. It's just
5:03
true. It's like if they would have won their upsets Miami in Miami,
5:09
he's he would have just said I'm coming back no matter what. Because a
5:12
write in the playoff contention, he doesn't know his percentage to be able to
5:15
come back or whatever. It's an ego deal. But think about this for
5:18
all the second whatsoever. I think the biggest thing with him this year has
5:24
been he was helpful in a certain case to be able to because Zach Wilson
5:29
took a beating from a lot of people, and he before when he did
5:31
had a beating, he didn't have any kind of mentor so the mentoring helped.
5:35
The only thing I would have wished for him is that he called the
5:39
plays instead of Nathaniel Hackett. It's just being truthful. I mean, Hackett
5:44
was there for the Hackett was there for Aaron Rodgers and also to get his
5:48
coffee in his a dry cleaning. That's about all he does for Aaron Rodgers
5:51
anyway, So he didn't need to call those plays. Aaron needed to and
5:57
just be able to do those things. So good news. Probably good in
6:01
a certain practice way. It's probably rules he can follow. But other than
6:04
that, they're not the playoffs. Who cares, George, Yeah, I
6:11
agree with you, guys. I don't think it's a necessary thing to have
6:14
happened. He's not going to play, he's already said that. But they're
6:17
just you know, again, they're the Jets, just like the Giants.
6:20
They got to be in the news, they got to make news. And
6:25
but for him to occupy a roster spot instead of some other young deserving player,
6:30
no, no, And I know you brought that up Scott on the
6:32
Pundit Show, and I agree with you one hundred percent. And you know,
6:35
it's a situation where, you know, let's face it, I mean,
6:39
you know, it's just been total, total disaster in New York this
6:44
year with both teams, but especially the Jets, and there's just no hope
6:48
for this year. Obviously they're eliminated. They hope to have a more healthier
6:53
version of him, but who knows. We don't even know what he's got
6:56
left in the tank. Anyways, at his age and coming off of such
7:00
a serious injury. We'll all see it next year how it pans out.
7:06
Well, if there's one guy, I feel sorry for this whole thing,
7:11
And I don't usually feel sorry for a lot of coaches sometimes, but Robert
7:14
Solis, the guy do feel sorry for, entered the year thinking Rogers would
7:17
be his quarterback, and I'm one of is fun that we talked about backup
7:23
quarterbacks and how valuable that they are. Listen, Jacob, you made a
7:27
great point with Zach Wilson looking to have Rogers mentor him, but that didn't
7:33
come about because he had to get in there because of the unfortunate nature of
7:36
the injury. I'll say it again as I said it before. Why occupy
7:43
another roster spot when somebody else more deserving could use it. Remember, votes,
7:48
you have a seventeen game schedule, and you've now allowed yourself to take
7:54
away from one player at one you can get a look at and you look
7:58
on tape to see if he fits in your plans with live action, but
8:01
you've eliminated that because you wanted Rogers. I don't understand the logic behind that,
8:07
but I feel bad for Robert sala. I hope he doesn't lose his
8:09
job yet. Let's see what he can do with Rogers, providing he comes
8:13
out he's healthy, and Rogers thinks, well, you know, I be
8:16
the quickest guy to come back for an achilles injury. Then my suggestion to
8:22
Rogers is, I don't know where your retreat was earlier when you were meditating
8:26
about where you wanted to play, but you need to go back there pretty
8:28
quick and come to your senses a little bit. This one makes no sense
8:33
for Robert Sala him one more year, see where we go. All right,
8:39
well, you know what underdog stories are, really what it's all about.
8:43
Before I go ahead and get to one. All right, Denzil snipes
8:46
a rod. He'll be planning in a week meetingless week eighteen just to be
8:52
the first to come back from an injury because it's lateral and most well literal,
9:01
mostly will get from this season, all right, jb Ellis, you're
9:03
going to start with my eyes. You're going to start reading these jets,
9:07
okay, my friend? So all right, so we got so Jabi Onceers
9:11
find the dance. Now he's one hundred percent right. I mean, you
9:15
know, the coach isn't Robert Salad, it's Aaron Rodgers. And that's the
9:20
problem. There's no reason the Jets needed to bring him back. You know,
9:24
it's it's just stupidity. Like you said, it's a waster roster spot.
9:28
You know. There's it doesn't benefit anybody except for a meeting list Thingan
9:35
Rodgers said that he was the quickest one to ever come back from this injury.
9:39
Yeah, just makes no sense. Now, all right, now we'll
9:43
go to the underdog story that I want to talk about. Is the season
9:46
to mention this story, kudos, okay to the twenty twenty three NAIA National
9:54
champions Kaiser University in West Palm BEA's, Florida, as they defeated Northwestern College
10:01
Iowa thirty one to twenty one for its first football national championship. Now,
10:07
I've actually visited that campus, and that's actually a pretty neat little campus.
10:11
But I'll tell you one thing and a little bit of information about Kaiser.
10:16
Raleigh Massmino actually coached basketball there for a period of time. Wow, Yeah,
10:22
that's very cool. Yeah, it is Raleigh mass Amino I actually stepped
10:26
in that gym, went out there a little bit, was trying to do
10:28
some stuff for the pal Meach Post, you know, with my buddy,
10:33
and we weren't able to get a whole lot going on then. But you
10:35
know, I may take it right out there at some point. But all
10:37
the demands that we have, Joe, nowadays, it's not easy to get
10:41
on the road except when you know you need to do it. And I
10:43
will tell you another great, feels good story here happens to be Nova Southeastern
10:48
University. And at last I look, I know that they were defending national
10:52
champions in Division two, I believe, and they also have a fifty game
10:56
Wednesday, But let's keep the focus on Kaiser University. And like I said,
11:01
rolling Masamona, what do you think about this NAIA school wins first national
11:07
champion Joe, listen, it's a great thing, you know. Congratulations to
11:13
all the athletes and coaches all the work they put in. You know,
11:18
it says a lot when you can come together and win a championship, and
11:22
there's a lot of work that goes into it. Yeah, they can relax
11:24
a little bit, get ready for next season. I'm sure some of the
11:28
team will be graduating and moving on to other schools. But you know,
11:35
they can never take away what was done this year, and they should be
11:37
proud of what they did. Jacob Oh, my lord, I went to
11:41
Lee University, Tennessee during the time. I took two thousand to two thousand
11:46
and four. I made a movie on the whole deal. And they made
11:50
the NAA tournament one year. My god. It's a brutal, brutal tournament,
11:56
and an AI always is brutal, Ridiculously, top seeds get dropped off
12:03
all the time by the lower ones. It is you know, I mean,
12:05
even though the competition at the time was not as tough as the NC
12:09
Double A, the competitiveness of it's ridiculous. And now you are adding to
12:13
that, Naia schools are getting the top notch players because they don't have the
12:18
academics for the NC Double A right now, so you'll get those. So
12:22
now you're getting NAIA schools beating NC Double A schools like early in the year.
12:28
So this is not a shock. And I'm going I mean, congratulations
12:31
for the title, congratulations for everything. But Naia I've always had the utmost
12:37
respect. It is a both football and basketball a very brutal, ridiculously and
12:45
it's like and they play very very hard, and it's you know what it
12:48
is. It's just that Cuba without the extra money. That's a good point,
12:52
all right, you know what for eternal George, Okay, JB,
12:56
I need your eyes tonight. Go ahead, please gruts to them. Maybe
13:01
one day they can move up to the NCAA from NAIA my album. Man,
13:05
I believe Christian did generations ago. Thank you, all right, George,
13:09
go ahead, yeah, I mean it is a tremendous accomplishment. Hats
13:13
off to Kaiser. That's a great feeling, I know, to a lesser
13:18
scale. You know, when I used to cover Wayne State University here in
13:22
Detroit Division two, you know it is it is a source of sense of
13:28
pride for the athletes and also for the coaching staff, like you mentioned,
13:33
JB. Everybody involved in the program, the athletic trainers, the the medical
13:37
staff, and the coaching staff and obviously the alumni and the sports information department.
13:43
I mean, you know, it goes deep. It's just you know,
13:45
the athletes of course deserve you know, the acclaim the guys on the
13:48
field. But that being said, there are so many others that obviously are
13:52
celebrating as well. And it's a great it's a great event, and it's
13:56
a great accomplishment. Anytime you win a chance hip in sports, but especially
14:01
on the grid iron, it means so much. You know, the schools
14:05
probably so hard to succeed, and when you can do that and taste that,
14:11
if you will, that taste of victory, it is a tremendous honor.
14:13
Trust me, I've seen it happen in some of the smaller schools you
14:16
know, and reading about it and watching games here in Michigan, So it
14:20
is a tremendous opportunity. And again, hats off the Kaiser for doing this
14:26
and achieving this. Yeah, let me add one footnote to the whole thing,
14:28
which is really good. Remember when you're an NFL scout, you can
14:33
find players anywhere. I don't care if it's an AIA Division three, Division
14:37
two, Division one, it doesn't matter. And for that point, I
14:41
can even mention HBCUs which will produce some good players over the years. And
14:46
if you want anyone really stands out, how about Doug Williams of Grambling came
14:50
out. Yeah, and I probably can miss many other ones, but as
14:54
far as I'm concerned. I mean, these bowl games are all great,
14:58
you know, another opportunity, unity for athletes to make an impression, except
15:03
for the ones that know we're going to get drafted. But let's not underestimate
15:07
the fact that an A n ai A you can go out there and find
15:11
hidden gems. And I love to use the word hidden gems because that's what
15:15
a lot of these guys are. And you know what, Joe, you've
15:18
talked about going to know what National Pro Scouting Combine. Why don't you go
15:22
ahead and give us a little bit of what that National Pro Scouting Combine is.
15:30
The National Scouting combug which is in Westfield, Indiana, right down the
15:33
road from Indianapolis. It's two weeks after the Super Bowl, and you'll get
15:39
a lot of guys that unfortunately get the invite from the NFL. So you
15:46
know, they're looking to showcase their talent. They're guys from Division I,
15:50
Division two, Division three, and AIA. They're all talented. You know,
15:56
they all work hard at their craft. There's also free agents. There
16:00
was a guy who played who was the MVP of the Japanese Football League that
16:04
was there last year. You know those NFL Scouts, CFL Scouts, Arena
16:11
League and different sports where you know, they feel that a football player might
16:18
fit in. And it's just a great opportunity to showcase your talent, you
16:23
know. And besides for that, what I like about the program Jimmy Kemble
16:27
who runs it, You know, he talks to the guys that it helps
16:33
prepare them for things outside of football, because unfortunately, it's only the one
16:38
percent that'll get to play the game on Sundays or in these higher leagues.
16:44
You have to look for things outside of football. It doesn't be dough trade
16:47
and be prepared because you never know what you're gonna get that call. But
16:49
you still have to, you know, prepare for life outside the game.
16:53
And he tries to give them all the help to go through all that.
16:57
So you say this is a national outing combine, is that correct? Correct?
17:03
And of course the guy that we're going to be working with, I
17:06
don't mind mentioning his name now because we have a lot to look forward to
17:10
with the NGB and TV is a guy by the name of Ian Hill.
17:14
You will be hearing a lot more about Ian Hill. And I just want
17:17
to use this opportunity since Kaiser did win that the National Scouting Combine is that
17:22
you're saying, right, Joe, Yes, this is an opportunity for even
17:26
guys at this level to get noticed because I'll tell you, NFL pro scouts
17:30
are looking everywhere. And don't lose sight of the fact that you have the
17:33
XFL slash USFL, which is about ready to merge anytime. It's just a
17:37
matter of all of the documents in place. This is an unbelievable experience.
17:41
And when we talk about the Abilene Christians, we talk about the Wayne States,
17:45
and then you talk about Kaiser University. This is really what it's all
17:48
about. I don't care. Don't be surprised how many scouts are really sitting
17:53
at these games, especially as you go deeper into the postseason as well.
17:56
So congratulations Kaiser Universe, and I hope maybe a couple of year players work
18:02
their way to the NFL. All right, Well, this is a topic
18:04
I really put a lot of thought into, you know, and I have
18:07
mister Rander the other our new mister opinion, Jacob Christner. Okay, you're
18:14
gonna love this one. Sometimes, Joe and George, you have to insert
18:18
things in here that cater the specific individuals and this is Chrisper's name written all
18:25
over it. All right, But according to Front Office Sports, First Take
18:30
and Undisputed both revamped their cast, each vying to become the top Embrace debate
18:38
show on TV this fall. Now, Jacob's favorite person Steven A. Smith,
18:45
Okay, and we know that he is Jacob's favorite person. His average
18:49
viewership is five hundred and fifty four thousand and Skip bayless on FS one.
18:56
Now, some of that could be attributed to the fact that one is not
19:00
Fox, So you wonder if the numbers are a little bit off that way
19:03
versus ESPN. So you know, go ahead, Joe, what are your
19:07
thoughts about Embrace the bab Listen? Just run your show, have the people
19:15
you think are best, you know, try and be number one. But
19:19
it doesn't really matter. It's just rhetoric. You know, They're not the
19:23
number one show anyway. You know the number one shows or shows I'm involved
19:27
in. I guarantee you watch this show, watch Sideline Sports any day of
19:33
the week, one hundred times better than anything those talking heads up to say.
19:38
You know, I challenged Steven aer Skip to actually have a real opinion
19:41
that it's not just clickbait. Oh that's a good point. Yeah, and
19:45
again Sidelines Sports, South Fork Tribune. We work really hard behind the scenes
19:51
to put these shows together. The only difference is these people here have a
19:55
higher platform and the marketing's done for us. Anybody would know that. George
19:57
Eichorn and I would know because we w X y Z. All we had
20:00
to do is show up and make sure the guests were good to tell was
20:03
sound with that though, I will transition over George before I leave Jacob Last,
20:08
so I know he's brewing inside. But go ahead, and Joe,
20:12
I want to I just want to mention one thing for our viewers, Okay,
20:15
I want to make sure the National Scouting Combine and where's that hell at
20:21
in Westfield, Didiana? Okay, very good, you said, Jimmy Kimmel's
20:25
behind it kibble. Okay, sounds good, all right, go ahead,
20:30
George, Yeah, yeah, no, I agree with JB. I mean,
20:33
this is this is something that you know, they want to brag about
20:37
and talking points and all that sort of thing. But we have great programming
20:41
here. We have great programs across the country with other young people and aspiring
20:45
broadcasters and current broadcasters. You know, the podcast industry is big but you
20:52
know, you want to put out the best, and I know we try
20:55
that so hard here and JB and Sideline Sports and Scott and and I'm not
21:00
I would take a back seat to no one on that. You know,
21:04
we went through that, like Scott said, we went through that back end
21:07
radio. I mean, this guy claimed he had the number one and he
21:10
did it, the number one sports talk show in Detroit, and he wouldn't
21:14
let anybody forget about it. But unfortunately he burned his bridges, the host
21:18
of the program, and they no longer wanted him over there. And you
21:22
know, all heck broke clues when he when he got let go. But
21:26
we've seen it in the radio business, and you know, and to maintain
21:30
a high level of viewership or listenership or clicks and watching it on on the
21:40
internet, I mean you got to maintain that high level. You got to
21:42
work hard at it. And I know these people in this show right here
21:47
and behind the scenes are working very hard at it. So I know they
21:51
can go on and say whatever they want. But I wouldn't take a back
21:55
seat to anybody. No, uh huh. All right, well go ahead,
21:59
Jacob, the floor is yours, But not for the whole hour,
22:00
because we do have hour. I don't care what steven a has being number
22:07
one. He can say he's number one on a ONTs to He's not number
22:08
one until he faces me, and he doesn't stand a chance. I'm just
22:11
giving this. But here's the thing about this number, five hundred and fifty
22:15
hundred and twenty thousand. Let me ask this question, big deal on television.
22:19
How many hits does each get? And I can tell you this,
22:22
that's probably pretty close considering Skip says. Skip's a little bit twerp that shows
22:27
this picture all the time, and he says stupid things, and people click
22:32
on stupid and Steven and the thing is Steva does the same thing, but
22:36
he looks He actually tries to make a good point once in a while.
22:38
But I am interested in finding out how many hits there are on social media
22:41
compared to each other, and that might be closer than we think. Well,
22:47
it's an interesting only compare and contrast with styles. I'm always liked Skip
22:52
Bayless is an old school of journalists like George and I have learned to become
22:55
over the years. So it's not like he hasn't reported in the field,
22:57
and his opinions are what they are. But what I've known is I've watched
23:02
because I'm a student of these shows. I want to see what I can
23:03
incorporate into what our platforms are about. You know, really have to do
23:08
that. And to me, I will say this Smith may be a little
23:14
loud, but the more I watch this guy, his research is pretty good.
23:18
I mean, if he's going to sit there and go act you,
23:19
at least he's got all the ducks and orders. But that doesn't mean I
23:22
have to like or dislike the guy, but anybody that researches their topics well
23:29
and come up with something, because I think one of the things that we
23:32
pride ourselves here is that our goal here is to make sure that we inform
23:36
people, entertain and educate, you know, and that's what we need.
23:40
To never lose sight of what you're doing there. So but you know,
23:44
now we're talking embrace, debate, everybody doing it, who can do better?
23:48
And you only have two out there that are really doing it to begin
23:51
with them. So you know, I think the numbers are somewhat skewed only
23:56
because Smith is on the Mothers say ESPN. Okay, if they have been
24:03
on ESPN, two. Are the numbers closer? Sure, because FS one
24:07
is not Fox, So you have to look into the numbers in that sense
24:11
where we were they putting numbers are what you want and you can do whatever
24:17
you want with them, But do they really mean that much more? Anyways?
24:21
We can all do it well, yeah, I mean, you know,
24:25
Stephen A came up through the Daily News in New York City and in
24:29
Philly. You know, he is a journalist first before he took on this
24:33
persona that he is now, right, and he was much more likable when
24:37
he didn't try and just be loud. Nothing wrong with it, but you
24:42
know, he just he's over the top now and he just says things to
24:45
say things, you know what, he actually performs like a journalist. The
24:49
man is brilliant. He's one of the best of the business. But he's
24:53
just gotten so big. At the same thing with Skip, you know,
24:56
Skip, I don't know as much about his backstorre, but I know Steven
25:00
A because I've read him since I'm like seventy eight years old in the Daily
25:04
News, you know, so I always admired his work. But I just
25:07
think he just as he's performed. They got into this TV thing where he
25:11
is now, He's just his character has become so much more than what it
25:17
needs to be. Well said, because when I talked to Bob Lee,
25:21
I met Bob Lee and spent a little time with him over in North Carolina.
25:23
Bob was at that time retired. The next day, after he collected
25:26
his awards out in North Carolina, Bob said, you know, some people
25:33
are just I'm glad that I'm Lee. I'm glad I've done what I've done.
25:37
You know what I mean. I'm not going to point out any particular
25:40
names on the networks. I look at Bob. You know what, Bob,
25:42
you don't have to Okay, I mentioned Steven A. Smith and he
25:47
didn't disagree. He didn't. Well, Bob Lee, to me, is
25:51
a gold standard of a journalists are like anyways, he really is. Here's
25:56
a guy that covered a lot of sports play by blay. But when you
25:59
talk about the gold standard of sports journalism, and I'll even throw a couple
26:03
of names, what about Michael Wilbon and Tony Corneiser Are these two guys to
26:07
me are the gold standard? And what was interesting during the Chuck Hughes debacle
26:12
was that Mike Wilbon and Tony Ornizer were the only ones that even mentioned Chuck
26:18
Hughes and the whole rest of the state didn't. And George and I did
26:23
as broadcast with well, I'm trying to think, Oh my god, Jerome
26:29
Jorenovich right, and you know he echoed the same things and just scaling back
26:33
on the production out and all that business. Nobody knew but Mike Wilban,
26:37
Tony Cornizer, they're pros Bob. What else can I say? Anybody want
26:42
to add to that? Oh, pundit, we did too, And it's
26:47
like those those are the things that see, that's the biggest problem with having
26:51
this kind of journalism right now is if it isn't if it's back then it's
26:55
evil. That's their mindset. If it's back in, it's evil. And
26:59
it's like, we got to get out of that because you learn from your
27:00
history, you don't erase it. Absolutely absolutely. Yeah, well side Jacob
27:07
exactly. So all right, final topic we're gonna get to then we're gonna
27:11
go to some headlines will be the Brooklyn nets. Ben simmons O would at
27:15
least till January due to a pinch nerve in his back. Oh my goodness.
27:21
Seriously, all right, Joe, you being a New York guy,
27:25
give me your take on Ben Simmons and Simmons still plays basketball exactly. That's
27:33
the only take I could ever have on that guy. Yeah. You know
27:38
what, there's one word that describes man Simmons bust, big time bust.
27:47
Well that's three words, okay, Jacob, Ben Simmons and tough go together
27:52
like Zion waves and Olympic. I mean, it is. It is ridiculous.
27:56
This guy absolutely positively cannot take any kind of And the thing is,
28:00
really, here's the deal with this. Every single time he goes around there,
28:07
he looks shredded. Every single year, it's like he's had that year
28:11
off to take you know, his clear his brain a little. Remember he's
28:15
got the mental issues, all that kind of stuff. Then he plays through
28:18
the season. He can't take pain. He can't take the beatings either.
28:22
He can't take mental beatings personally. This is the thing. Nets you paid
28:26
for him, you traded for him, here's the deal. You're gonna have
28:30
to pay him all that money. That's your fault. But there's got to
28:33
be some coach out there that understands. And yes, you're right, Denzel
28:37
bust. But they're gonna have to understand what I had said from last year,
28:41
and you don't have to start doing it and just I mean chew it
28:45
up, spin it out, and forget about it. Do this. He
28:48
is a facilitator. Make him, get him some due defense, and do
28:52
about sixteen minutes a game. He'll be the most expensive one. But quit
28:56
trying to make him when he's not. He just doesn't have the mental or
28:59
physical capacity to do it. All right, JB. I need you know
29:03
read this, Ed Simmons A tough go together like a screen door at a
29:07
submarine. That is good. Good jobn that was really hadn't heard that one.
29:12
Everybody's come up with ray one liners. Hey, George, I want
29:15
to mention what you mentioned about Tommy DeVito. I think jb ellis aarre this
29:18
one. I'm about the sauce. You got to bring this one up.
29:22
Go ahead, Are you coming on this one? You even remember what it
29:26
was like? Corn? He didn't have he got his face. He had
29:30
pizza sauce on his face. Yeah, Agent, I know this guy forty
29:37
four years and I think it's the first time I ever seen him come over
29:40
the one Lager liner work. I'm trying. I'm trying. The bar is
29:45
very high on this program. Hey listen, I'll give you some stats.
29:49
Okay, Ben Simmons. You know, Okay, so when he started out
29:52
with Philadelphia, he's got fifteen, almost sixteen points of gaming average. The
29:57
next year he almost averaged seventeen a game, and then the next year sixteen
30:00
and then fourteen. Book as soon as he got to Brooklyn six point nine
30:06
who are you kidding me? Six point five this year and six point nine
30:11
points a game. Now, his rebound he did go up a little bit.
30:14
Okay, I'll give him credit for that. His career started with about
30:18
eight rebounds a game and now he's up to almost eleven a game. But
30:19
hey, this guy, yeah, he is on the downside. It's a
30:25
shame his his numbers are not there. His he's just not effective like he
30:32
was when he was a sixer. But yeah, I mean, you know
30:34
he's out till January. That is a Yeah, that's a bad, bad
30:40
guy. But there's no way I'm going to put him on my team.
30:42
Of course, my team has lost how many games in a row? Scott?
30:45
Are they are they up to twenty four? Now? Yeah, something
30:49
i'd rather not mention because yeah, let's by other people on this panel.
30:55
Yeah, let's just yeah, we're not wanna go down that road. But
30:59
yeah, Ben is not what I would call ready for prime time anymore.
31:03
I mean, those numbers are sinking faster than that ship. This is where
31:07
I get with Ben. This is what I get with Ben. With all
31:10
this, it's like I wish this is the coach and me and the GM
31:12
and me and the idea with me. It's like I love as it's called
31:15
the Dusty Rose. He loves dealing with his broken toils, baby, broken
31:19
toils, and he would be my broken toy. I don't want him playing
31:23
the full time. He doesn't have the physical or mental capacity obviously to take
31:27
pressure. Make him one hundred million dollars fifteen minute a game guy, I
31:33
mean, because like I said, guy's got amazing hands. His pass is
31:37
britty and sweet. He rebounds and he and he steals. I mean,
31:41
on a good night, will steal the ball three times, get a block
31:44
or two. That's enough for fifteen minutes. Let it be you. Okay,
31:49
you're paying him for so much, that's your fault, but you need
31:53
ball games. He can help that way. He can help that way,
31:57
But you got to think of ball games and take your l take your l
32:00
with the contract and go with you. You're not going to get rid of
32:04
me, so find another way, all right. Well, you know what,
32:08
Unfortunately, Denzel, I disagree with you on this because I don't I
32:13
could go for a pizza right now. It would be great, But Uncle
32:19
George, it's pizza business is open, den Yea, you there you go.
32:23
You heard it. So I don't know about jab. I'd like to
32:27
go for one, but doctors are probably going to say not tonight, not
32:30
anytime soon. And that is that, right, Joe, we were you
32:34
know where I'm going. Yep, I'm good, I'm good right now.
32:37
No pizza. You already had one right tonight was Portillo's. Oh I love
32:45
that. Yep, Well tonight I had pork chops. That's good. When
32:52
you have a person around here that could cook really good, then you certainly
32:54
know that you're very fortunate to have a significant other that is truly that then
33:00
something. So he's a good Katie's a good woman. Enjoyed her guest,
33:05
I have no doubt about it. She breaks puts up with him, So
33:07
she's got to be a good woman. Oh, no question about it.
33:09
I'll be the first to tell you that this woman there is amazing. Yeah,
33:14
my late grandmother Sophie would have loved her, by the way she would
33:17
have and by the way, happy birthday in heaven to my aunt Tina Kampelin
33:23
as well, so you know she. I don't know what she would have
33:27
turned this. I think I don't know the age. I really don't care.
33:30
I think she was born in forty two. I actually should have been
33:31
eighty one. I think I know somewhere on there. Anyways, all right,
33:35
let's go over to some top storylines here. The nation's top safety kJ
33:39
Bolden flips from Florida State University to to Georgia. My goodness, if that
33:45
isn't putting an egg on your face. And I don't know what the heck
33:49
is. What do you think Joe going from f SU to Georgia just before
33:53
the Orange Bolt? Really, that's said. If you can go to Georgia,
34:00
why not You know they lost one game in two years. I can't
34:05
blame him, even though he did lose a Florida State. So yeah,
34:08
there's gotta be a reason for him to do it. I don't know why
34:12
you'd make that that move, but hey, you know, there's many different
34:15
reasons to switch schools when you're in college. I wish him all the luck
34:21
and you know, hopefully it's the right move for him. Okay, all
34:25
right, Jacob, what do you think Kirby Smart is the memory? Remember
34:30
think about what Kirby Smart played. He played backfield. You know what I'm
34:34
saying. It's like in college he played at Georgia. He is the ultimate
34:37
coach in that area. Their defense is beast is beast, and it's been
34:44
That's what carried them besides besides Stet's and Bennett's what carried him to two national
34:47
times and one away from this playoffs. They have a beast defense. They
34:53
get to play, they get pickoffs and rub they get pickoffs and fumbles at
34:58
will, absolute will. And the biggest thing about him, if he's coming
35:02
there, means he's going to be forefront on something like that, and he's
35:07
gonna love their defense and he's gonna get plays which he might not have gotten
35:09
at Florida State. Okay, George, Yeah, I mean, you know,
35:15
this is the season for all the different flips from one team to the
35:20
other, and uh, you know, I do wish him well, I
35:22
mean, you know, he's got a top notch program there, top notch
35:27
coaching staff. Georgia is obviously one of the best in the nation at everything
35:30
they do, and I wish him well. I just think the portal is
35:36
just going berserk. I think it's gone way too far than I ever imagined
35:39
it to be. But these kids have an opportunity to move on to a
35:44
program that they think they're going to succeed better at all the more power to
35:47
them under the curtain, the under the current rules of the engagement, if
35:52
you will, in NCAA football. So he's gone into a great program,
35:57
no question about it. Okay's gonna snipes like what this guy is putting up
36:01
here tonight, and then again he's an extension only in the chat room,
36:06
all right, Joe Uga will be a title favorite next year. Kirby Smort
36:10
is making moves. I'm not mad at the move, Okay, fair enough.
36:15
I can tell you one outlet they'll be happy is one broadcasting the event
36:20
another storyline to talk about the Orange vill talking about adding insult to injury.
36:24
You're going from one team to another. I mean that's sometimes the timing is
36:29
unbelievable. So here's another one here. This is in your Negati Woods,
36:32
Jacob, that the Atlanta Falcons won't decide on the future head coach Arthur Smith
36:37
before the end of the twenty twenty three campaign, according to team owner Arthur
36:44
Blank. All right, Joe, some thoughts about Blank waiting until the end
36:49
of the year. I mean, what's the hurry to do it now?
36:52
Why do we got to make the decision? There's still three games to go,
36:57
they're still in the playoff on third game out of the out of the
37:00
division lead. Why are we making the decision on the coach now? What's
37:05
everybody's hurry? Where do you need to be tomorrow? Leave the guy alone.
37:09
Let him do his job. You know, the guy, the person
37:13
who owns the team, Arthur Blank. It's his team. He could do
37:16
whatever he wants. Why is everyone in such a hurry to figure it out?
37:21
Just relax, watch the games and joy. You know, fantasy football.
37:24
We all want to we all want to be the GM, we all
37:27
want to own the team. We don't. It's Arthur Blake's team. If
37:30
you want to watch, watch, if you don't want to watch, watch,
37:35
get over it. It's his job. Let the men go out there
37:38
perform. Let's see what happens. Yeah, it's not like it's an obvious
37:42
situation where the chargers of force to get rid of and Staley that was a
37:46
different animal that was building up and that most of the kurd last year when
37:51
actually Candy and I covered the game between he should have he should have walked
37:55
home from that loss. Yeah, he should have. I mean, I
37:59
think twenty seven point leading you. I couldn't believe when I was watching in
38:02
front of my I see Jackson'll come. Wait a minute, what's going on
38:07
here? And all of a sudden the Jacksonville Jaguars one. And that's why,
38:10
that's why they want to allow me to own a team, because I
38:13
would have made him walk back to Los Angeles with would with a broken leg?
38:20
No? I would, no, no, no. Would he have
38:22
gotten through the desert when he got that far? I don't know, but
38:24
you know just what, you want to keep your job. Walk home because
38:29
you're not getting the team plane. And if I see booking of the flight
38:32
that said, you know you're done. It's called a chat room. Joe,
38:37
Here'll be busy tonight. Go ahead. Georgia Bulldogs had the number one
38:40
overall class with nineteen ESPN three hundred commit commitments. That's incredible. All right,
38:49
go ahead. The NFC South is hard and that's why the Falcons are
38:52
still in it. Falcons with the South that I'll find a way to keep
38:55
them. That's one point. GMT Denzel g MTA and that's my point too.
39:02
You're not even get a chance of express it. Go ahead. Yeah.
39:06
The excuse, the excuse that will be is the fact they had Desmond
39:09
Rider, who's not good. That will be with him, and and the
39:14
fact that they had an improvement. They were in one game from the NFC
39:17
South last year. They're right there at the Sesus this year. He wins
39:22
it, they'll find a way to keep him, and he would get his
39:24
own quarterback. Now, I'll bet you he's justin fields. So do I
39:29
think Arthur Smith's doing a good job, better than the last ones. Some
39:32
of the last ones I think. I think he's trying to get a offensive
39:37
system. He doesn't have the people for right now. Dalala Heineke's fined and
39:40
he's not for that system. Desmond rivers all right, but he fumbles too
39:44
much. He's not for that system. You want to see if that system
39:49
truly works. I'm gonna say a Justin Fields, or of a marjor even
39:54
better, of Amar Jackson or any of those types that can run whatever system
39:59
that he once and if it doesn't work, then it doesn't win, then
40:01
he's gone. But he has his excuse right now, now, you know,
40:06
before I turn over to Georgia, I think the more you mentioned Justin
40:09
Fields in Atlanta, the more it just makes too much sense. Goes home,
40:15
all right, Back to Denzil Brandon Stelly should not be allowed to a
40:20
pop Water team that was good, all right, continuing on with the sniper,
40:24
all right, ready, in any other division artist Smith's fired mid season.
40:30
That's not true. No, no, no, not with Denzel,
40:34
not with the the Caskets, not with casket family, not in the chance,
40:38
I mean they keep him forever. Okay, Well there you go,
40:43
all right, I'll tell you these these are rumbling. All right. Well,
40:47
here's a topic that LA people may or may not like you. Cal
40:52
State Northridge stunts UCLA to end an eleven year Pack twelve drought. You want
40:59
to talk about the timing of this whole thing is a last year of the
41:04
PAC twelve and then this takes place. So here's what we have here.
41:08
I'll go into more details about the story. Deontay Bostic scored eighteen points at
41:14
Deshaun Allen Iikens scored seventeen points in Cal State Northwards ended in eleven year losing
41:22
streak against the PAC twelve con stunning UCLA seventy six to seventy two prior to
41:30
Tuesday. The last time the Manadors beat up PAC twelve school occurred on December
41:36
twenty first. Get this, okay, December twenty first, twenty twelve.
41:43
See cal State University Northwards had won in poly Pavilion since two thousand and two
41:49
thousand and one season, a year that resulted in a trip to the NCAA
41:53
Tournament. And they even add more to this whole thing. The loss ended
41:58
UCLA's twenty nine game home winning streak. Wow, all right, Joe listen.
42:06
College basketball is a crazy game where there are a lot of good teams.
42:10
There's over two hundred Division one college teams. Some of the lower tiered
42:16
schools are better than some of the blue bloods. At times, you never
42:22
know who you're going to play, how good they are. Just enjoy guys
42:27
playing hard. It's a different game than the NBA. I can watch college
42:31
basketball twenty four hours a day because they play hard. It's a different style.
42:37
You know. You see some teams that are just bad and that's not
42:40
enjoyable to watch, but for the most part that they're all out there given
42:45
full effort. And you know, it's great to see them going to UCLA
42:52
the last year of the Pac twelve taking a win. You know, they
42:54
they'll never be able to play a Pac twelve team after this year. You
42:59
know, we'll get that last win in there, and you know, good
43:02
luck to them going forward. Yeah, I actually stayed when I had some
43:07
friends that were living there. I stayed in Northridge with some close friends and
43:10
that was here. Action went to the Rolls Bowl when Michigan took down Washington.
43:15
I think it was nineteen ninety one. But anyways, so I know
43:16
where north Ridges. All right, Jacob, none of this truly matters anymore
43:22
with little versus Big. This is in two thousand and five. This isn't
43:24
nineteen ninety eight. This isn't nineteen eighty six where Cleveland State beats Indiana and
43:30
then you know it's going to get their butt kicked the next year. It's
43:32
because they know it's not that you played the game of your life and then
43:37
in those days and you get that, but you're not going to win the
43:38
next nine if you get my point. I mean, think about this for
43:43
one second. Chris Tabor on the Carolina Panthers, he's the inner coach with
43:49
Panthers. Came from cover Stockton College. Was a coach there who no one
43:53
but me would hear of and sot like that. Now he's coaching in the
43:58
NFL. You have Skyler Thompson who played in the playoff game last year.
44:02
Came from Surry. His great dad coach there. It doesn't matter what you
44:07
get, was small or big. They the small can beat them now,
44:09
the smaller getting the bigger names, the smaller getting the athletes. Maybe it's
44:15
because the maybe it's because they'll offer the ni All money. Maybe it's because
44:19
they don't have the grains, but they're getting them now, and it's it
44:22
is more of an even even field, all right, And I want before
44:27
I turn on at George, let's Dan's pack two. I can even read
44:31
that short enough, okay, but read this one, Joe. I still
44:38
say there was some sort of conspiracy to break up the PAC twelve winning guess
44:43
conference in the Atlanta Stars National Championships across all sports that they got broken up
44:47
too, fishy. Anybody you want to add to that, Well, Denzel,
44:52
here's the issue with that too. They had the worst media deal.
44:57
They had the word that they had an Apple TV media deal. Everybody else
45:00
got. Everybody else got. Let's see, the SEC got theirs, that
45:04
Big b one G got theirs, and they were all ESPN, they're all
45:07
CBS, and then pack the PAC twelve was the Apple TV the deal.
45:14
Right. It can't do that anymore, not in this type of thing.
45:17
It's like the only one that gets away with a bad deal is Notre Dame.
45:21
It's because they've grandfather did that terrible deal with NBC. But it's like
45:25
their grandfather Dan. They keep extending it. I don't know why, but
45:29
they're the only ones that can get away with it. You do this now,
45:30
this is what happens, all right, George, Well, kel State
45:36
to north Ridge. I mean, congratulations, the guys played a great game,
45:40
and especially winning at poly Pavilion, the home of John Wooden. Oh
45:46
my gosh, I mean, what a tremendous, tremendous game. But like
45:50
you guys have been saying parody is now more commonplace, especially in college hoops.
45:55
We've seen it the last few years and it continues in an but it
46:00
can beat anybody, the old adage, but especially in college basketball. I
46:02
mean I've seen I've seen a lot of that. This season has really been
46:07
one of uh, you know, upset so far so but yeah, you
46:12
see Lao come back. But no, that's a great story. I'm glad
46:16
that. I'm glad they could could finally put it into that losing way against
46:21
the BAC twelve and obviously upset UCLA on their own home court, so all
46:25
the more power to them. It reminds me of that Appellation State against University
46:30
of Michigan as the famous loss that at the Big House many many years ago
46:37
by Appalachian State. And they are a good program. They are Appalation State
46:42
is a really good program. Now here's Denzel another common from Dens. Go
46:46
ahead, you can read this one. Anybody can beat anybody. Abilene Christian
46:52
upset Texas, Yabling christ and some good proms tonight. Yeah, well,
47:00
I can tell you the PAC twelve will leave a long lasting impression with this
47:05
game. Of course, you have the Washington Huskies in the final four,
47:07
So we'll see whether the story continues or, as everybody politely says, a
47:13
pack too. All right, one other storyline. I want to get to
47:15
maybe two. But Matt LaForce is firing and battle defensive coordinator Joe Berry isn't
47:21
the best solution for the Packers, So Joe from one Joe to another.
47:29
You know, the Packers just sort of fell off the cliff. They were
47:32
doing well, then they lost that Giants game. And you know, I
47:37
don't think get rid of the defensive coordinators the answer. You know, I
47:40
think that they need to really build up their offensive line, get some skill
47:46
players on offense to help Jordan Love out, who actually showed he's capable of
47:51
leading that offense, and build around him. Don't do it they did Tarror
47:54
Rodgers and draft defensive guys. Get skill players to help him out. Yeah,
48:00
I've always saw the firing coach is always the answer. Maybe you have
48:04
to develop the telling you have and then make a judgment after that. Go
48:07
ahead, Jacob, why it's like for one thing you've gotten, I mean,
48:12
I was wrong about George Love with his wins. I was wrong by
48:16
that that he still is not the greatest. This is the thing to understand,
48:21
we're now dealing with the I said the word of I said the term
48:23
emotional nitwit on on the Pundit's pundits. Emotional nitwits are in play here.
48:30
They are absolutely panicking and melting down in Philadelphia. Have to three losses in
48:34
a row. This happens in a long season. You emotional nitwitz happens in
48:39
a long season. This is the you are good or you're bad or whatever.
48:45
You're a target, especially if you're like say ten and one, like
48:49
Philly. Everybody's a target. They're all trying to win. Two. You
48:52
are not the only good one on this whole thing, and the others are
48:58
bad no matter what your pito leave the kindergarten mind thinks you're not. They're
49:04
all the very best. Someone's got to adapt, someone's got to get back,
49:07
someone's gotta win, someone's gotta lose. But the thing is this to
49:12
say, with Joe Brad who cares, he can figure it out personally to
49:16
me, when I hear things like that, I say, give a five
49:19
year extension, and then the more they can he complain, and give them
49:22
five more until they shut up. He can retire. With Joe, he
49:25
can retire with a multi million dollar thing in Green Bay as long as they
49:29
keep talking George, Yeah, Joe Berry. I mean, yeah, this
49:35
guy's been a coach since nineteen ninety five. I believe we go ahead and
49:39
read this and any care. Yeah it's a rebuild, but this is not
49:46
bad for a rebuild year. Packers are still in the playoff race. They
49:51
kind of overachieved despite losing AR twelve. Okay, yeah, I mean Joe
49:58
Barry. We all remember Joe Barryry is the same guy that the Detroit Lions
50:01
had under Rod Marinelli and our friend Rob Parker with his famous quote and that
50:07
was a real funny one, remember that, Scott. But he asked Marinelli,
50:12
he says, uh, do you wish your daughter? No? Yeah,
50:17
do you wish your daughter had picked a better son in law? Or
50:21
something like that. Yeah, I know Rob to be brash, and I
50:23
got to know him well, Yeah he really Yeah, when Barry was in
50:29
Detroit as coordinator. But all that being said, I mean, the guy
50:31
is a is a proven veteran. He's been a coach for a long long
50:36
time and a coordinator for many of those years. And yeah, I don't
50:39
think firing him is going to make announce of success right now, a sense
50:44
or success for the Packers. I mean, you're right, guys. They
50:47
got to get skilled players, they got a draft, they got to sign
50:50
free agents, and they got to develop that defensive unit like it used to
50:53
be so ferocious all those years the Packers had. I have one other newsworthy
50:59
topic. I'll just talk talk about it on my own road quick before we
51:00
wrap this bad boy up. LSU quarterback Jane Daniels will skip the rely On
51:06
Plust Bowl against Wisconsin to prepare for the twenty twenty four NFL Draft. He
51:09
announced onely good move. I've seen a lot of players get severely injured in
51:14
bowl games. If you know you're a high pick, then you definitely have
51:16
to do that. So with that said, I'm going to go for a
51:20
few other things that we have lined up with Sidelines Sports in the South Florida
51:22
Tribune. I want to let her remind everybody one more time that the Sports
51:28

52:15
have a book out there that can be purchased on Amazon and Kindle Call Lessons
52:19
from the Microphone Tuning into the enduring wisdom of visionary leader is also one thing
52:23
I mentioned earlier. I'll reiterate again and the sports is Change and Pundits fund.
52:28
It will be on the at the end of January. NGBN TV will
52:34
launch on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire and mobile devices. It will
52:39
be an eighty five percent of the homes of the US and Canada and four
52:43
point one billion and I said billion folks mobile devices. Great stuff, Ir
52:49
pal Ian Hill, Joe, So what I want you to do is while
52:53
we have a couple of minutes, give everybody an overview about what NGN TV
53:00
needs, an set to trip you and the landscape of what we're looking to
53:04
accomplish, and then you could talk about sideline sports. So NGBN is more
53:09
of just a TV network. It's actually got a mission to try and save
53:15
men's lives. It's a network that's out there that has you know, it's
53:22
basically the demographic and the statistics of middle aged men that actually commits suicide is
53:31
astonishing. It's one of the highest categories. So Ian Hill, who's the
53:36
founder of the network, and GBN is trying to be the oldest collegiate NCAA
53:43
football player, Well he's gonna he's a long snapper. He's fifty eight years
53:47
old. He played junior college last year, got hurt. He's still working
53:52
to get back to make it. But you know, he put together a
53:57
network. The Tribune, the Sports Exchange will be on their sideline Sports and
54:01
a bunch of other shows. The Pundit Pundit Show will also be there.
54:07
But you know, it's also involves mental health and it's just it's a great
54:13
community. It's more than just sports talk. It's more than just entertainment.
54:19
It also has a mission and you know it's it's it's actually good to be
54:23
giving back to something in the community besides just doing what we love. And
54:30
you told me you met him at the National Scott in Combine. Is that
54:32
correct? Correct? Yes? Okay, very good? All right, now
54:37
you call everybody know how they get a hold of you. So JB had
54:40
to score the program on x Sideline Sports every Tuesday, Facebook, Twitter,
54:49
Suit to Be, Instagram, YouTube, DBTV, Alumni Media and of course
54:54
JBN. Now okay, Jacob, NGBN met a whole lot because this is
55:00
the perfect type of show the Pundit's Pundit for that network because a lot of
55:06
our topics go based to like forty to sixty year olds. We talk about
55:09
the past, where we also talk about the future. So it educates them.
55:15
It educates them while I mean for the future, while it also brings
55:19
them back a little bit of entertainment, bringing them back to the past.
55:22
And we love this and this is the this can also get them off their
55:24
minds. Plus the fact we've talked about mental health more than once on Pundit,
55:29
So I just wanted to say, this is going to den GBN is
55:30
going to be beautiful for this network. I need for this show and the
55:34
network. The're gonna be a great team. And where I'm at is Sundays
55:38
in mornings, It's with Scott. It is Scott and Denzel. It is
55:43
the Professor of Pupils. Now it is Monday Night's the Top Rope Talk Wednesdays.
55:47
Wednesdays is South Florida Tribune with the Sports Exchange. Thursday's Pundits, Pundit,
55:53
What's in a Blue Mood? Friday's Gauntlet, and I am on a
55:59
fire. I know that I am on a final read for a possible movie,
56:04
for a one day roll on IM possible movie. It's called ten Too's
56:07
down. I meet with him Friday. We see if I get it or
56:09
not. One interesting note, too, is when I did Basketbros. A
56:15
little bit, mainly what Jacob and Denzil, I thought the chemistry worked out
56:20
so well there was no doubt I was going to bring the three of us
56:22
back on Professor and Peopil. Will be doing that more on a regular basis
56:25
after the verse of the year. It was great this past Sunday. Then
56:29
we were able to do it. It was just really neat stuff. And
56:31
now the chemistry amongst us is onreil, so a good point. And that's
56:35
