0:00.0	Obviously, the Giants end up drafting a guy on Arvel Reese who is connected to the Jets for so long. The Jets went David Bailey. Arvel Reese fell to them at five, and the Giants swooped. And obviously, David Bailey, newest member of the New York Jets. They both said something in their press conferences that jumped out at me, that you can judge or not judge. It's totally your call. Let's start with your guy, Arvel Reese.
0:21.5	Okay.
0:22.1	I want you to hear the question and then I guess the uncomfortableness of his answer
0:27.2	because it felt like Arvel Reese was as stunned to be a New York giant as anybody
0:32.0	because it doesn't sound like Arvel Reese knows who's on the New York Giants.
0:37.2	Who are you looking forward to meeting the most in the Giants?
0:44.8	Who I'm looking forward to me?
0:48.4	Kick Jackson, Dart. No. QB.
0:53.5	That's so good.
0:54.6	You have to admit.
0:56.2	And I kind of understand it because it just didn't feel like he was ever going to be a giant.
1:00.6	That Arvill Reese is like, I don't know who's on this team.
1:02.7	Yeah.
1:03.3	I'm trying to think when I got drafted by the Giants, that I know the Giants team.
1:08.8	Now, maybe because I was a Redskins fan, so maybe a little bit. But I don't think I could have ripped off four or five players that I knew and were looking forward to meeting. So you would have been stumped by the question as well? No, I think I would have just said whoever my new, I would have made it, I would have talked my way out of it. Well, you could easily talk your way out of it because like the, first of all, the silence just adds so much intrigue. I would have said all the, whoever, all my new teammates. Yeah, you answer right away like, dude, I am so excited. I'm excited to meet everybody. In fact, I don't even want to name just one. Yeah. I'm excited for everybody. And you know what? If he says that, I think that answer goes away. Of course. Okay. Now, this one, I just want to prepare you guys. Like, don't take it personal, all right? I thought this was a very weird answer. But ladies and gentlemen, the newest member of the New York Chats, David Bailey. What's one team specifically you look forward to beating up on?
2:04.7	I look forward to being up on Giants, probably.
2:09.0	Yeah.
2:10.4	What?
2:11.6	He said the Giants, Tiki.
2:14.5	He realizes he's going to play us every fourth year.
2:18.3	I'm not sure what he realizes.
2:20.7	But he said the Giants.
