0:00.0	Beautiful people and welcome to our Humbley Boat, the Thunderdome.
0:05.0	On this football Tuesday, July 29th, 2025, this program begins now.
0:12.0	Football!
0:13.0	It's happening all around the NFL in training camps in 30 cities.
0:20.0	I should have done the math there before I won for that one.
0:23.6	You're right.
0:25.6	Oh, I, I don't know.
0:27.6	You get it.
0:29.6	There are 32 teams that are at training camp right now
0:32.6	and trying to build the best team that they possibly can
0:35.6	to maybe make a run at the Lombardi. We were chit-chatting about this before we went live about how, you know, predicting how tough a schedule is going to be for any team at this particular point is a pretty outrageous thing to try and do. Who knows what injuries are going to come before the season? Who knows what team is going to turn it on? Did anybody think that the Washington commanders are going to be good last year? Absolutely not. They almost win the whole damn thing.

1:06.0	dynasty that's happening in Kansas City.
1:07.0	We know a few teams that are going to be great, but there's going to be teams that aren't going to be shite. There's going to be teams that have been habitual, shitty football teams that are going to end up being good this year and are going to surprise the hell out of us. In all those things that are happening at all these camps right now are what lead to that potential success. So whenever we see a highlight, we should be excited. Whenever we see
1:27.5	these guys working their ass off, we should be pumped up. Whenever we see them get into a little
1:31.4	bit of a scrum and get excited about a little physicality, we should be jacked up. But we need to
1:36.2	understand that there's so much growth from now until the actual season kicking off. There's so much
1:40.8	development. There's so much of finding of a team that can happen in the next
