| 0:09.9 | Welcome in now to the show, |
| 0:12.1 | Mani Hill, |
| 0:12.8 | and I just wanted to answer one question for the comments about the size of Sam |
| 0:16.9 | Darnold versus J.J. |
| 0:18.1 | McCarthy was a question in the comments. |
| 0:20.2 | And I'm sorry, I'm going to be |
| 0:21.3 | looking down at the game sometimes as we have this conversation. But Donald is grown up. |
