Off top. During the tech on Pearl Harbor, a guy named Doris Miller. Off top three two one. Off top. During the tech on Pearl Harbor, a guy named Doris Miller, a black man who worked in the mess hall decided that he needed to get on the gun, start firing from one of the anti aircraft guns shooting down multiple Japanese aircrafts and making the tech on Pearl Harbor, not as bad. Even though it's pretty terrible. Anyway, play the music.

This is the Dominique Fox worth show. It's hard to go from Pearl Harbor to play the music, but I did it. I'm great. I can do anything. All right, Charlie. So it's a pro. It's a pro right there. Now you just just barrel right through. I don't know. All right, Charlie. So there are a number of things going on in sports right now. But before we get to that, I think it's important that we let everyone know that there's no roses and thorns at the end. Well, actually, I changed my mind.

There will be a roses and thorns at the end of this episode. It's going to be a me and Charlie talk about our relationship roses and thorns at the end of this episode. Actually, it's not going to be at the end of this roses and thorns. Don't get nervous guys. I do not have a major thorn that has caused her to leave the show or leave me. She just got the COVID is still out here. Everybody. So be careful. Uh, somehow I haven't gotten it. This happened last time she got it. The kids got it. Everybody in the house got it.

I didn't get it. I ended up feeling really invincible. And then a couple months later, I went to a little baby concert in Vegas around the draft. And I got it there. So hopefully that doesn't happen to me. But the kids are negative now. They're in camp. Ashley is still positive. I've been negative at this whole time. But I'm still masking up. But she's not feeling well enough to be a part of this. So that's that Charlie. My first rose is that you were a pink shirt in Ashley's honor. And that is just so sweet and thoughtful.

Thank you, Charlie. I appreciate you pointing out that I obviously, it's a premeditated decision. It wasn't just the same shirt that I had on my second rose is that you're definitely going to see Barbie for a second time with Ashley this weekend. So Ashley, it's so sad because she doesn't like going to the movies. Barbie was the one movie that she was excited about. She doesn't like just like she has a very short attention span and she's like, I don't want to sit in the movie. She'll she'll watch back to back TV shows. She'll bend.

And she'll hold season of something. It's something about the idea of a two hour commitment. She's not down with that. But this is the one time she's been like for two weeks now. She's talking about what outfit she's going to wear. How she was planning to dress all of us. How excited she was to do it. She got the vid. And she couldn't go. So I went with my oldest daughter because she wanted to see it. And she got an all pink and I wore fatigue hoodie because I wasn't dressing up. I'm not cool. It's just again. What was on my mind?

On the floor for the audience. I'm putting it at minus 110 odds Dominique before the podcast. Like I'm not seeing Barbie a second time. It's not going to happen. Minus 110 odds Dominique is at Barbie. And he won't post on his Instagram. But if you follow Ashley, there will be a story of Dominique wearing a Ken shirt holding a large popcorn walking into it.

There's absolutely no chance that I'm going to see Barbie again. I saw it once and it was fine. It's not for me. So like I didn't think it was a bad movie. I didn't think it was a great movie. But it wasn't for me. I've no desire going to see it again. Especially before I see Oppenheimer or Mission Impossible or anything else that I haven't seen yet. I'm not going to see it. I'll bet. Please. I went in on this action. I'm not going to see it again. It's like I put my foot down on some things while trying to swing the odds trying to get you more value. All right. So in sports right now.

When we get to the roses and thorns, you prematurely started edition our roses and thorns. I got excited. Yeah, I patina at the first rush. I'll give you some options on where you want to start. Okay. So we got women's world cup. We got bop A being offered a billion dollars to go to Saudi Arabia. We also got a kind of a sad topic, not kind of a sad topic. A very sad topic is training camp injuries and it's something that comes up every year around football. I tore my ACL on the first day of training camp in my

second year in Baltimore. So it feels really terrible when I think about these type of things. But it just sucks. And it's not like that in any other sports. I was going to say any other major American sport. But I'm not sure there's anything any sport in the world where it's like you come into the season. And your roster is so unknown because you're almost guaranteed to lose someone for at least a first

few weeks. And it feels like there's always a couple DBs that tear their ACL are done for the season every year of training camp. Important DBs to important teams. I presented this like you were going to have an option. But it seems like I decided we're diving into training camp. I was going to say let's start with the American football and move to the national football afterwards.

So I moved the sentimentality out of it from my own feeling and like just feeling sad for guys who are obviously excited about opportunity and have a season taken away from them.

That aside, it's hard for us to make these season projections and hard for us to think about how good a team is going to be.

From the beginning of the season to the end of the season, let alone before the season even starts because injuries are such an integral parts, not integral part, but such a omnipresent part of NFL football.

And so we're all making these projections. And it's not always was rarely is it the quarterback, the big name guy like that. It's normally like that. Yeah, it's normally an offensive lineman. It's normally a defensive back.

And these are positions that are reliant on each other in such a way that you can have an entire unit cripples because you lose one guy. You lose a tackle.

And then compensating for that tackle can make it very difficult for us your offensive line, which then in turn makes it really impossible for your quarterback.

And the same thing is true for defensive backs. You can lose a corner and or lose a safety. And it really just breaks apart what happens to your secondary and then there goes your defense and there goes your hopes for the season.

So I think it's a fascinating topic about like the fragility of football and the fragility of rosters. But if you don't mind, I don't like to start on the micro side and expand out.

Because okay, you tear your ACL. You would what you just got in your second contract.

Can you take us back to like how you are feeling? What what's going through your mind? Are you thinking I just thank God I got my second contract? Are you thinking?

What's your football mortality? What's going through your mind when you tear your ACL at that point?
