Well, we got some roster moves the other day. We're fired up. It's always football. What? Yes, yes. You're fired up. That's why I asked you to come on today. You were sending some text to me and Mikey A in a group. Taylor's not here. He's handling some stuff with Sal O'Connor right now. But you were all fired up about Tua going to the Falcons. And I was like, hey, you want to record today? And you're like, thanks for the heads up. Let's go. Appreciate that. I got a good 50 minutes or so. That was fine. That's why I didn't shave this morning. It's a little, little, little, little, little. This is offseason bear. Yes. Exactly. We love it. Today is like, like everyone wants to expand the college football.

0:56.1

Not everyone, but like people talk about expanding. and bear yes exactly we love it today today's like like everyone wants to expand the college football

0:56.1

not everyone but like people talk about expanding the college football playoff like today in conference

1:01.1

basketball tournaments would be what like a round of 24 in the college football playoff would be

1:06.7

like all these teams that really don't matter and have no chance but they're playing and it it's content. So we're going to, so we're going to watch it. Yes. Yeah, no, you, you're putting words in my mouth. I'd be like out for tour or anything. But look, the Atlanta Falcons, like, could you imagine? Like, I was thinking to myself, like, wow wow could you imagine being a falcons fan but

1:28.8

they've actually been to a couple of Super Bowls in my lifetime unlike the team that we root for

1:33.9

yep like so you you sign Kirk cousins to draft Michael Panics to now sign Tua like Like, what are we doing?

1:46.2

Yeah, but Tua for them is a bargain.

1:48.7

For the Dolphins, they overpaid.

1:49.9

It was the worst contract in the history of the NFL.

1:53.1

But the dolphins are paying that contract now and the Falcons are getting them on the cheap.

1:56.9

And so I do feel like it's a good deal for the Falcons, you know?

1:59.8

So, like, is he the backup? I don't know. Is Kirk Cousins the backup? I don't know. If you're not expecting to go in there and compete with Michael Penix for the starting job, or you can see if you are, that's a really stinging, damning indictment on what you think about Michael Penix. No question about it, but he's coming off an injury, Pennix is. And so it's good. Listen, Tua had his best game of the year last year against the Falcons in that building. So we had four touchdowns, no interceptions, played very, very well in that game. I think they're bringing in Tua. I don't think they're committed to him being the starter, but if he ends up being the starter, I think they're going to be okay with that, you know? That's the, the sight of two, his greatest performance ever. Like the legend of Tua. Yeah. Alabama with the, the overtime touchdown pass against Georgia. Yes. The pilot game. I love to, and I hope hope he can stay healthy and I'd love to see him do the job.

2:55.9

But it's just like amazing.

2:57.9

Like I'll be your first round pick and you continually get like this reputation or these
