| 1:53.7 | actually taking somewhat legitimate snaps against players that are not their teammates. Yeah, |
| 1:59.2 | I definitely feel like football is back. Yeah, some of those rookie quarterbacks and we'll start |
| 2:03.3 | with Trevor Lawrence. Look, there are the these battles that you know, we've heard over my |
