| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Audible, presented by Trader Joe's. |
| 0:20.0 | I'm Stuart Mandel, back from vacation, joined by Bruce Feldman. I enjoyed... |
| 0:24.6 | It feels like you've been away for a long time. |
| 0:27.6 | It doesn't feel that way to me. I was gone for a grand total of six days to Mexico and had a really long travel day back and now it's been, let's see, today is Tuesday, so I've been back here for, yeah, another six days. |
| 0:41.3 | So, but I did just miss being able to be on the podcast that you have with Ted Miller and Jim Donnan. |
| 0:46.2 | I texted Ted and said it was great to hear his voice and a little bit surreal that it was coming on my own podcast, but I hope people enjoyed that interview. |
| 0:55.8 | It was fun to catch up with Ted. He and I've had some conversations offline, but just |
| 1:00.4 | have him back on the podcast, and it was nice to get some feedback also, you know, both about |
| 1:05.0 | Ted and Jim Donnan and his story about going to see what turned out to be Bill Snyder, you know, |
| 1:10.6 | when he went down to |
| 1:11.3 | way back in North Texas days. So his perspective was unique. And I was at the combine the last few days. |
| 1:19.2 | And invariably, when you're around other media people, you talk about the business. And so |
| 1:22.8 | we talked a little bit about some of the comments and some of the things that would involve Ted and his departure. |
| 1:29.8 | So if you haven't listened to that addition of the Audible, please do so. |
| 1:33.7 | So, Stu, it's good to have you back. |
| 1:35.3 | We're going to get into our dueling columns on our top 25 coaches list in a bit. |
| 1:42.5 | Did you watch much of the combine on TV? |
| 1:44.8 | Ha. No. It would be on at various places I went on the TV, but I don't know why you need to |
| 1:51.6 | watch it when there's Twitter. Everybody's posting everybody's 40 times. |
| 1:56.8 | But that's like saying you don't need to watch anything because there's Twitter. |
| 2:00.5 | Well, but the difference is I like that. I mean, why wouldn't you want to watch an actual football game and say, you know, that I don't want to just get the score. But in terms of what time somebody ran in the 40, you really need to watch that live? I don't know. I think it's interesting to hear the back and forth between the analysts and kind of what |
| 2:18.1 | the draft buzz is on some of these guys, and it's not just 40 times that they'll get into. |
