0:49
Speaker 1: agent editions arrived at t I A Bank Field to
0:52
Speaker 1: meet their new coworkers and officially signed their deals. They
0:55
Speaker 1: also met the media over a Microsoft Teams video conference.
0:59
Speaker 1: On the offensive side, the Jags added tight end Chris
1:01
Speaker 1: man Hurts and running back Carlos Hide. But then they've
1:04
Speaker 1: focused the attention to the wide receiver room. Tend to
1:07
Speaker 1: your veteran Marvin Jones Jr. Joined the Jags and discussed
1:10
Speaker 1: his time under Jack's offensive coordinator Darryl Bevel in Detroit
1:13
Speaker 1: and his role as the old man in the room.
1:17
Speaker 1: I think it's just the camaraderie that we have with
1:19
Speaker 1: with each other, just the leader that he is. You know, obviously,
1:23
Speaker 1: his his offense, um, you know, kind of speaks to himself,
1:26
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. Um, you know with the success that
1:30
Speaker 1: he's had, Um, you know, since he's been in the league.
1:33
Speaker 1: And it's just a fun offense. It's a fun offense
1:36
Speaker 1: where I could go inside, go outside, do a lot
1:39
Speaker 1: of things that you know I didn't do before, you know,
1:42
Speaker 1: having before having this offense. So, um, it's a lot
1:45
Speaker 1: of stuff that that you could do. And um, it's
1:48
Speaker 1: I think it's if it's perfect for me. So one
1:51
Speaker 1: other question, don't take this the wrong way, but how
1:54
Speaker 1: does it feel as your career progresses to be kind
1:57
Speaker 1: of the old man in the wide receiver room? That's
1:59
Speaker 1: what you're gonna be here, and and how do you
2:02
Speaker 1: mentor and help the younger receivers go along? Well, I
2:06
Speaker 1: mean it feels good, you know obviously, because I'm still
2:08
Speaker 1: here and I'm still playing at the top of my game. So, um,
2:11
Speaker 1: you know, just like I just I just uh met
2:14
Speaker 1: everybody met the young receivers and um, they they didn't
2:17
Speaker 1: know I was thirty one. So they were like, man,
2:21
Speaker 1: you look you look like you look like us. I'm like, yeah,
2:23
Speaker 1: you know, I said, so you know, I'll show you
2:25
Speaker 1: the way I said. You had to had to get there.
2:28
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm here. I'm here to be that mentor.
2:32
Speaker 1: And and you know, for for them to follow, for
2:34
Speaker 1: them to follow me, um you know, um, I love
2:37
Speaker 1: that and I love that type of pressure and um yeah,
2:41
Speaker 1: so it feels good. Another wide receiver edition Philip Dorset.
2:46
Speaker 1: He was a first round pick in by the Colts
2:48
Speaker 1: out of Miami, and he was later traded to the
2:51
Speaker 1: Patriots as part of the Jacoby Brissette deal, and he
2:53
Speaker 1: missed last season in Seattle with a foot injury. He
2:56
Speaker 1: says he's fully healthy now, and he also explained the
2:59
Speaker 1: impact that Urban Meyer's arrival in Jacksonville had on his decision.
3:03
Speaker 1: He played a big factor. I mean, we all know
3:05
Speaker 1: what he's done at different programs in college. Um, how
3:09
Speaker 1: he's a he's a team builder. I mean, his his philosophy,
3:12
Speaker 1: it aligns with with my philosophy. I mean, it's just
3:15
Speaker 1: he's really big into speed, sports, performance, UM and just
3:20
Speaker 1: getting the guys ready to go out there and just
3:21
Speaker 1: play hard and play fast, play physical. You know, this
3:25
Speaker 1: is something that I mean, we just we clicked on
3:27
Speaker 1: that and that's what brought me here and finally originally
3:31
Speaker 1: a defensive act converted to a wide receiver, but brought
3:34
Speaker 1: here as a return er. Jamal agg knew. He was
3:37
Speaker 1: a twenty seventeen first team All Pro returner and has
3:40
Speaker 1: a history of big time field flipping plays on special teams.
3:44
Speaker 1: Every team talks about the importance of special teams, but
3:48
Speaker 1: the Jags put their money behind it in free agency.
3:51
Speaker 1: It definitely means a lot to me just to know
3:53
Speaker 1: my skill set is being valued as it is. I
3:55
Speaker 1: feel like special teams is are very important aspect of
3:58
Speaker 1: the game, and you don't really realize is in that
4:00
Speaker 1: realized that until something catastrophic happens. You know, I want
4:04
Speaker 1: to come in and and be that spark. I want
4:06
Speaker 1: to I want to bring the juice, um, you know,
4:07
Speaker 1: I want to create, create energy, play spark plays, um.
4:11
Speaker 1: You know, I love doing that like that. That stuff
4:13
Speaker 1: is fun to me. It was kind of weird last
4:14
Speaker 1: year without fans Um. You know, I'm running a big
4:17
Speaker 1: return back and it's kind of quiet, so it's just
4:19
Speaker 1: like that's going on. But you know I'm here. We're
4:22
Speaker 1: gonna have, you know, a hundred percent capacity. So I
4:24
Speaker 1: can't wait to the house call that first one and
4:27
Speaker 1: in the stadium. Rudy Ford another one of those special
4:30
Speaker 1: teams editions in free agency. And look for the full
4:32
Speaker 1: press conferences of all the players who have arrived in
4:35
Speaker 1: Jacksonville on Jaguars dot Com. On the Jaguars Reporters Tuesday,
4:39
Speaker 1: Ashland Sullivan, John Oshan, Brian Section and I react to
4:42
Speaker 1: some of the highlights from Monday, and we each picked
4:45
Speaker 1: a new player to go a little more in depth into.
4:49
Speaker 1: Brian chose who you heard from earlier, Marvin Jones. Here,
4:53
Speaker 1: here's my reaction to him. Okay, they're not gonna draft
4:54
Speaker 1: a receiver in the first round, right because you're adding
4:57
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones or even maybe the second Marvin Jones in
5:00
Speaker 1: Philip Dors said to La Visca, Colin and DJ. Wow,
5:04
Speaker 1: it's a group. Okay, you got that group. Now you
5:06
Speaker 1: go find another receiver somewhere down the road. But the
5:09
Speaker 1: other thing they just said to me was they are
5:10
Speaker 1: going to throw the ball a lot. Here a lot
5:14
Speaker 1: with a quarterback to throw it a lot. So the
5:18
Speaker 1: mentality of run first, which was here seventeen eighteen, nineteen
5:22
Speaker 1: twenty gone. Yeah, this team is gonna throw the ball.
5:25
Speaker 1: Side notes, John, have you googled his American Idol performance?
5:30
Speaker 1: I have not. I was assuming that you would take
5:34
Speaker 1: care of that. Angle Force for Jaguars reported would cover
5:37
Speaker 1: that is American idols that on TikTok? Is that one
5:40
Speaker 1: of those TikTok They have a TikTok channel And it
5:43
Speaker 1: was from the two thousand eighteen season. It was like,
5:46
Speaker 1: I don't know if it made it on the finalized show,
5:48
Speaker 1: but it was kind of like behind the scenes, but
5:50
Speaker 1: they're like, Katie Perry. You know Katie Perry, she's a
5:53
Speaker 1: hit maker, John. She was blown away, kissed the girl
5:57
Speaker 1: and she liked it, right cheez. Yeah enough that that
6:02
Speaker 1: was the song Joe turned my Mica off. So yeah,
6:08
Speaker 1: do yourself a favor just and google Marvin Jones American
6:11
Speaker 1: Idle performance. It was thrilling. But there's some guys in
6:16
Speaker 1: all kidding aside. We've all been through free agency enough
6:19
Speaker 1: where there are some guys who when they walk into
6:21
Speaker 1: a building, you can tell that they are going to
6:26
Speaker 1: own it in terms of being there for the media,
6:29
Speaker 1: in terms of being a leader. You've been closer to
6:31
Speaker 1: him Slen than any of us just by having a
6:33
Speaker 1: chance to talk to him. He strikes you as there's
6:35
Speaker 1: a little bit of plais when Calais came in of
6:39
Speaker 1: immediately becoming a veteran leader, as if he's been here
6:43
Speaker 1: for eight or nine years already. But he has that
6:45
Speaker 1: personality type. When Klaius got here, it was as if
6:48
Speaker 1: he had spent all ten years with the Jaguars. You
6:51
Speaker 1: need those kind of guys. That strikes me that Marvin
6:53
Speaker 1: Jones might be that kind of guy. Could not agree
6:55
Speaker 1: more Slam dunkey. And I'll say this to just to
6:58
Speaker 1: get it out there. I said earlier. You know, he's
7:00
Speaker 1: lived a lot of life. I didn't know about American idol.
7:03
Speaker 1: That's one part of it. But not that long ago,
7:07
Speaker 1: he and his wife lost an infant son, so he
7:11
Speaker 1: and he almost quit football, and there was a point
7:14
Speaker 1: where he didn't want to do this anymore. He didn't
7:16
Speaker 1: want to do a lot of things anymore, and He
7:19
Speaker 1: explained yesterday that he quickly, after getting together with his family, decide,
7:25
Speaker 1: you know what, this this is the right thing to
7:27
Speaker 1: be around. So it's not just a football player catching touchdowns.
7:33
Speaker 1: He has his priorities in order, and I think that
7:35
Speaker 1: will go a long way in this locker room. How
7:37
Speaker 1: many times did Jamal Agnew say he's an incredible father?
7:40
Speaker 1: But I heard it at least three times, and that
7:42
Speaker 1: that I left thinking, Okay, I can't wait to talk
7:44
Speaker 1: to him and find out what he does with his
7:47
Speaker 1: kids and why and what makes him such an incredible father.
7:51
Speaker 1: So important to find out what kind of people they are,
7:54
Speaker 1: and you find out by the way that you treat
7:55
Speaker 1: your kids. Overall, this seems like a really cool guy
7:58
Speaker 1: and it was funny after the interview. One more side note.
8:01
Speaker 1: He he looked at the cameras. He goes, oh my god,
8:03
Speaker 1: those are red cameras. He's like, and I saw you
8:05
Speaker 1: guys walking around with ari cameras, Like you know what
8:08
Speaker 1: those are? He's like, yeah, I'm I'm really into the
8:10
Speaker 1: production side of TV and and this is awesome. You
8:12
Speaker 1: guys have this equipment. We're like, what great we're gonna
8:16
Speaker 1: be asking you to be in front of these quite
8:17
Speaker 1: a bit. Yeah, like get used to this, you're like
8:20
Speaker 1: in this. There's more where this comes from. C Yes overall,
8:22
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones safe to say and pressed us The Jaguars
8:27
Speaker 1: Reporters Podcast Monday afternoon on the Jaguars Official podcast Network.
8:32
Speaker 1: Moving along to Wednesday and the Huddle Up Podcast. NFL
8:35
Speaker 1: media analyst Bucky Brooks, John Osier and I broke down
8:38
Speaker 1: Bucky's latest mock draft on NFL dot Com. What will
8:42
Speaker 1: the Jags do at number one? It seems pretty obvious,
8:46
Speaker 1: but the number pick not so much. Well, let's get
8:49
Speaker 1: to Jaguars needs now. Free agency is underway, first wave
8:53
Speaker 1: is done. We'll see if there are other additions down
8:56
Speaker 1: the line. But with all these additions, you've got to
8:59
Speaker 1: a just your mock drafts accordingly, and Bucky, you've done
9:04
Speaker 1: just that yours hit on Tuesday two point oh first
9:07
Speaker 1: round mock draft. What do you have for the Jaguars. Well,
9:10
Speaker 1: obviously we can go to Trevor Lawrence at number one
9:12
Speaker 1: because he's a place of the franchise. He's exactly what
9:15
Speaker 1: we want at the position. Leadership's ability, big time arm talent, athleticism.
9:20
Speaker 1: He appeared to be in the lockstep with what Urban
9:24
Speaker 1: wants in terms of at that position. So he's a
9:26
Speaker 1: no brainer at number one. I think the interesting thing
9:29
Speaker 1: is getting down to twenty five. What direction will the
9:31
Speaker 1: Jaguars go. We talked about the needing to upgrade the
9:34
Speaker 1: defensive line. They need a dominant and where you need
9:37
Speaker 1: lead defensive linement. I don't know if there's one that's
9:39
Speaker 1: sitting there twenty five, and so let's make sure we
9:42
Speaker 1: go to the back end and find someone in the
9:44
Speaker 1: middle of the field that can make plays. And so
9:47
Speaker 1: for me, I I'm believing that Trevor Waring from TCU
9:50
Speaker 1: as a guy that is certainly of interest. When you
9:53
Speaker 1: go back and study how Joe Cullen the defense of
9:57
Speaker 1: the Ravens played, how Ohio State played, or Urban that
10:00
Speaker 1: your split safety defense, your strong safe, and your free safe.
10:04
Speaker 1: You need to be able to cover a man to man.
10:06
Speaker 1: They need to be able to be factoriness to run.
10:08
Speaker 1: They'd be able to me and make plays. He is
10:10
Speaker 1: the best playmaker at the position and safety and with
10:13
Speaker 1: the skill set. When you talked about have an opportunity
10:16
Speaker 1: to have an All Star at the position. If he's
10:18
Speaker 1: twenty five, I think it's in my brand. Okay, Bucky,
10:21
Speaker 1: we all know that in your next mock draft you'll
10:23
Speaker 1: pick somebody else because that's what all the smith drafters do,
10:26
Speaker 1: So who will you pick for them? And you're like,
10:29
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm getting at is there's two or
10:31
Speaker 1: three directions they could go here. I agree with you
10:34
Speaker 1: that this kid makes a lot of sense. You see
10:36
Speaker 1: bar More, what other logical spots would there be a
10:41
Speaker 1: because you'll change the next one. I don't Yeah, I
10:43
Speaker 1: mean maybe I don't know, Like I have to think
10:45
Speaker 1: about it, like I've wresso so hard with it all
10:49
Speaker 1: over the weekend that maybe I can come up with
10:51
Speaker 1: another thing. A lot of it depends on what they
10:54
Speaker 1: feel like internally about Cam Robinson an offensive tackle, because
10:59
Speaker 1: this is the year where you may have six seven
11:03
Speaker 1: guys that carry first around grades of that position. It
11:05
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a bad idea if you're sitting in twenty
11:08
Speaker 1: five to take a good offensive tackle. If you're picking
11:10
Speaker 1: sitting there in that range, you could potentially be talking
11:14
Speaker 1: about Jeremy Mayfield from Michigan. I think uh coach I
11:18
Speaker 1: would say Death School of North Um. You could be
11:23
Speaker 1: sitting there. You have the potential of uh, Chevin Jenkins
11:27
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma State also being available, and the surprise name
11:31
Speaker 1: they could be a first rounder would be Liam. I
11:33
Speaker 1: can work from Notre Dame. If you beat up that
11:36
Speaker 1: offset the line and make sure that the quarterback is protected,
11:40
Speaker 1: you can never go wrong. And so I viewed the
11:42
Speaker 1: game as a game of chess, and then I'm one
11:45
Speaker 1: room in chess protect the king, and say, if Trevor
11:48
Speaker 1: Lawrence is going to be the king, make sure you
11:50
Speaker 1: protect him and you can protect him to the big
11:51
Speaker 1: offensive loan. The Huddle Up Podcast hits Wednesday mornings at

Speaker 1: by the Jags and has signed the tender, so the
13:41
Speaker 1: entire line should be in place from last season. Ashland

Speaker 1: Sullivan caught up with him this week to discuss his

Speaker 1: interactions with urban Meyer, running it back with the O
13:50
Speaker 1: line and the bright future for the organization. What are
13:54
Speaker 1: those expectations and how those combos gone. Um, the combos
13:57
Speaker 1: weren't really well. Um, I think I'm mix mean honestly,
14:01
Speaker 1: when I was in college, because he was still coaching
14:03
Speaker 1: at our state when I was in school, So I
14:05
Speaker 1: met him a while ago back then, and um, I
14:08
Speaker 1: was able to you know, meet him again when he
14:10
Speaker 1: when he first got to Jacksonville. You know, we're able
14:12
Speaker 1: to talk um on the phone a lot, and then
14:14
Speaker 1: we were able to sit down and you know, have
14:16
Speaker 1: a um and have a couple of in person meetings,
14:18
Speaker 1: and he was just you know, his expectation level for
14:21
Speaker 1: me is high. You know what I'm saying. He thinks that. Um,
14:23
Speaker 1: I think everyone in the building, they know they know
14:25
Speaker 1: what where my potential level is and how how my
14:28
Speaker 1: celing is and how good I can be just longer,
14:30
Speaker 1: just keep getting better every year, and I just keep
14:32
Speaker 1: getting better every day, you know, just one percent better
14:35
Speaker 1: every day. And the same way they have highest spectations
14:38
Speaker 1: for me, I have highest spectations for myself. So I'm
14:41
Speaker 1: just looking forward to, you know, like new beginnings and
14:43
Speaker 1: just you know, almost like not really a fresh start,
14:45
Speaker 1: but at a fresh start at the same time. Yeah,
14:48
Speaker 1: expectations are a great thing. And camp. Something that drives
14:52
Speaker 1: us crazy on the shows is that there's this narrative
14:55
Speaker 1: when things don't go exactly according to plan, it's okay,
14:58
Speaker 1: we'll start over and just blow it up. And it's
15:01
Speaker 1: interesting that this offensive line group, we've been told for
15:04
Speaker 1: so many seasons, this is a really high point for
15:06
Speaker 1: this team. And you have your coach back, George Warhop,
15:09
Speaker 1: you have all the starting offensive lineman back, you have
15:13
Speaker 1: Tyler Shotley resigning, and I'm sure, especially with offensive line,
15:17
Speaker 1: how important is that that this group is staying the
15:20
Speaker 1: state the same and you guys can trust each other. Um.
15:23
Speaker 1: That's that's I can't even put words. I can't even
15:25
Speaker 1: put it in the word. It's just the offensive line. Um.
15:28
Speaker 1: Cohesiveness and togetherness is literally everything Um, all five of
15:34
Speaker 1: us have to be on the same page at all times.
15:36
Speaker 1: If one person is off, is it conrect the whole play. So, um,
15:40
Speaker 1: I think just for us keeping the being able to
15:43
Speaker 1: keep the room together with our head coach and with
15:45
Speaker 1: all our pieces. Um, we know, we know we got
15:48
Speaker 1: in our officsive line room. So I mean, I think
15:51
Speaker 1: the talk never really kind of phases us because we
15:53
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, we know what we have, and
15:55
Speaker 1: we know what type of talent we have in there.
15:57
Speaker 1: Now we're just looking forward to, you know what I'm saying,
15:59
Speaker 1: just like I said, like a fresh start and just
16:00
Speaker 1: kind of you know, trying to establish trying to establish
16:03
Speaker 1: our identity and trying to establish what we're trying to
16:05
Speaker 1: get done and that fresh start. I don't know if
16:07
Speaker 1: you can feeling in Dallas, but in Jacksonville there is
16:11
Speaker 1: this sense of optimism. The number one overall pick eleven
16:15
Speaker 1: draft picks, and you're not really the type of guy.
16:18
Speaker 1: I'm getting a feeling that's raw, raw, you know, jumping
16:20
Speaker 1: on the table excited. But are you optimistic? Are you
16:23
Speaker 1: looking forward to this year? Oh? Yeah, of course I'm optimistic.
16:26
Speaker 1: That's just my personality. I'm laid back. I don't kind
16:29
Speaker 1: of reserve until myself a little bit, so, um, that's
16:32
Speaker 1: just me as a person. But of course it's always
16:34
Speaker 1: exciting when you can you know what I'm saying, We
16:36
Speaker 1: do have the first pick and we are well, I
16:38
Speaker 1: guess I can't really say, um, yeah, we do have
16:41
Speaker 1: the first pick something, so we're gonna so you know,
16:46
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that. And um, whoever we pick
16:49
Speaker 1: with the first, whoever, I get it. I get where
16:56
Speaker 1: you're going. Yeah, um, next question. Funny stuff there at
17:01
Speaker 1: the end from Cam Robinson. The full conversation available on
17:05
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com. Also this week, a National perspective on
17:09
Speaker 1: the Jaguars reload. Field. Yates is an NFL insider for ESPN,
17:14
Speaker 1: and he sat down with the crew on Jags Drivetime
17:16
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. You build more so through the draft and
17:19
Speaker 1: free agency. At times history shown hasn't worked. It's not
17:22
Speaker 1: worth all that money at times. Yeah, I think it's
17:24
Speaker 1: really important to start here with free agency. I think
17:27
Speaker 1: it really I would say the offseason in general is
17:29
Speaker 1: that you need to be honest about your timeline in
17:31
Speaker 1: the NFL, because the more honest you are, the better
17:34
Speaker 1: your process, and in turn, the results will be so
17:37
Speaker 1: the Jaguars ad if memory is correct, somewhere around eighty
17:41
Speaker 1: million dollars at the start of the new league year
17:43
Speaker 1: or whenever the legal tampering period actually began, which is
17:46
Speaker 1: as much money as anybody in the NFL. We know
17:48
Speaker 1: they have tons of draft capital. They aren't shopping for
17:51
Speaker 1: a quarterback distop season, which is always the most expensive
17:54
Speaker 1: position in free agency. They'll be shopping for that quarterback
17:57
Speaker 1: in the draft, of course, But just because you have
17:59
Speaker 1: the ability to spend does not give you the license
18:02
Speaker 1: to spend as much as you have available. And if
18:05
Speaker 1: you're Jacksonville, there's no doubt in my mind this teaching
18:08
Speaker 1: to be improved next year, There's no doubt in my mind.
18:10
Speaker 1: And over the next five or seven years they're gonna
18:13
Speaker 1: be a franchise that other teams are envious because of
18:15
Speaker 1: the nucleus account. They're gonna build around presumptive number one
18:19
Speaker 1: over I'll pick Trevor Lawrence. But if you just go big,
18:21
Speaker 1: you're spending free agencies because you're buying players usually at
18:25
Speaker 1: the prime of their career, where I'm not saying things
18:28
Speaker 1: just dramatically go downhill right away, but by the end
18:31
Speaker 1: of the contract four years from now, those guys might
18:33
Speaker 1: be on the back end of their best abilities. If
18:36
Speaker 1: you just spend a ton of money in free agency
18:38
Speaker 1: relentlessly during the you know, the first year of the
18:41
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence experience, you may not be sort of tying
18:46
Speaker 1: in your ascension with his ascension. That is need to
18:49
Speaker 1: say that rookies can't play really well. We saw it
18:51
Speaker 1: from Justin Herbert last year, and we've seen young quarterbacks
18:54
Speaker 1: have a lot of success. But this is not a
18:57
Speaker 1: one year plan that Urban Meyer and Trent Faulty are
19:00
Speaker 1: endeavoring into right now. They're endeavoring into a long term plan.
19:04
Speaker 1: They improved in free agency, but they've also preserved a
19:07
Speaker 1: hunter resources are going to be incredibly valuable going forward.
19:10
Speaker 1: Jack's Drive Time airing Tuesday mornings at ten on the
19:13
Speaker 1: Jaguars social media channels. Let's finish this week with NFL
19:17
Speaker 1: media reporter Judy Batista. She jumped on with Jeff Logerman
19:20
Speaker 1: and me on Jaguars Happy Our Radio Thursday afternoon, and
19:23
Speaker 1: we went through next week's virtual annual Meeting, where league
19:27
Speaker 1: owners will vote on the addition of a seventeenth regular
19:30
Speaker 1: season game, plus the legacy of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell,
19:35
Speaker 1: with labor piece and a new media deal in place.
19:38
Speaker 1: The big thing is that they're going to go ahead
19:40
Speaker 1: with the seventeen game regular season and trim the preseason
19:44
Speaker 1: down to three games. I don't think you'll get too
19:46
Speaker 1: many people crying about the loss of a preseason game. Um,
19:49
Speaker 1: but that's that's the big change. I mean, it's a
19:52
Speaker 1: huge change. And they will talk about how those games
19:54
Speaker 1: are going to be scheduled and what the matchups will be.
19:56
Speaker 1: But that's obviously a gigantic change to the NFL calendar
19:59
Speaker 1: of pushes everything back. The super Bowl will get played
20:02
Speaker 1: a week later. I think now we'll fall on President's
20:04
Speaker 1: Day weekend. So that's actually really good for your super
20:06
Speaker 1: Bowl parties that you'll have the next day off. Um,
20:10
Speaker 1: but you know that's a that's a huge, huge change
20:12
Speaker 1: for the NFL. Yeah, that's a big change. I'm surprised
20:16
Speaker 1: it's going to stay at three preseason games, Judy. I mean,
20:19
Speaker 1: one breagular season game is worth two in the preseason
20:22
Speaker 1: all day long. You can argue that point all day long.
20:27
Speaker 1: And I think what the owners would come back and
20:29
Speaker 1: tell you is, like you know, there's revenue, Like if
20:32
Speaker 1: you've cut a preseason game, you lose revenue, you lose
20:35
Speaker 1: ticket sales, you lose parking, you lose concessions, and all
20:39
Speaker 1: of that money comes out of the pot that gets
20:41
Speaker 1: split with the players. So that's how they arrived at
20:43
Speaker 1: seventeen and three and Judy with Commissioner Goodell, labor PIEACE
20:48
Speaker 1: TV deal in place. What's next for Roger Dell? He
20:53
Speaker 1: probably wants to take a nap. It has been some year.
20:56
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a very good year for him,
20:59
Speaker 1: but obviously an incredibly stressful, busy year for everybody in
21:03
Speaker 1: the NFL. Um They got the labor deal done a
21:07
Speaker 1: year ago. It passed by sixty votes of the players,
21:10
Speaker 1: I mean it was a very slim margin, and then
21:13
Speaker 1: almost immediately they had to turn right around and go
21:15
Speaker 1: back to the negotiating table because you realize you're going
21:18
Speaker 1: to play a season in the middle of a pandemic.
21:20
Speaker 1: They had to make a decision, are you playing a
21:22
Speaker 1: season in the middle of a pandemic? They had to
21:24
Speaker 1: redo the labor deal to account for what they knew
21:27
Speaker 1: was going to be a drop in revenue, and then
21:29
Speaker 1: they had to navigate through a pandemic, which was no
21:32
Speaker 1: small undertaking. I mean, I think this has been his
21:36
Speaker 1: finest work getting them through the pandemic. It took a lot,
21:39
Speaker 1: It took a lot of will, and it took a
21:41
Speaker 1: lot of manpower, and certainly it took a lot of
21:43
Speaker 1: financial resources. Um. But they did it, and they did
21:46
Speaker 1: it on time. And that's a great deal of credit
21:49
Speaker 1: has to go to the commissioner who decided early on
21:53
Speaker 1: they were going to keep moving and they were going
21:54
Speaker 1: to keep the season on track, and they managed to
21:57
Speaker 1: do it. Um. And now you've got the big media deals,
22:00
Speaker 1: and I think if you asked the commissioner he would
22:03
Speaker 1: tell you himself like that's the last c B A
22:06
Speaker 1: and the last media deal he is going to be
22:08
Speaker 1: around for as the commissioner. I don't think he wants
22:10
Speaker 1: any part of those processes in another ten years. Judy's
