Since I knew you were going to be in this week, I've wanted to ask you.

0:02.5

And you've alluded to it in the past when we've talked about Todd Bowles.

0:20.9

The public got their glimpse at behind the scenes Todd Bulls a couple of years ago, didn't they? Aren't you? But aren't you happy? Yeah, but you know, like you know better than I. But Celia, you would hear. Yeah, but with us, though, he was always buttoned up. Like we never got that version of him I'm glad you brought this up but you were around

0:23.1

because you just didn't hear it from me. You heard it from other guys. Correct. We all had this consistent story. And then he would get an oppressor and kind of take the arrows. Sound like a puppy. Yeah. Right. But I'm glad that clip happened. Because I've talked about it. I know you've heard other guys talk about it and everybody's like you guys are just being you know company men no like he would he would kill us and then we sit up there and be like no mumble he'd be like whatever yeah yeah we didn't go got to do like why wouldn't he have ever done that when he was here I think because we had a fr fragile thing. And maybe you could back me up, Seleau, because you was on the beat. We had a fragile locker. Do you remember I played the audio? I brought it back from the morning of the Gino-I-K thing? Even that was just like very chill, matter of fact. Like, he could have blown up about that, or at least it seemed more angry. Our locker room was was fragile

1:12.8

and even from a veteran standpoint

1:15.9

looking at other veterans who you thought were

1:17.8

had to resume because they played long enough and

1:20.4

been around you thought they wouldn't be as fragile

1:22.9

but they were fragile too. So I think

1:25.0

he understood that and took a lot of errors.

1:28.7

Interesting. Interesting. But I'm glad you brought that up because it was like, finally, like, that's

1:33.2

who he was. When he closed that door, he was a dragon. He wasn't nice.

1:37.0

Yeah. And we sucked. Well, yeah, that's part of it. And the bucks have been sucking now for

1:42.0

the last five, six weeks or so, so that explains that. One more football thing I want to play before we move on to some baseball here. So props to Philip Rivers. I mean, the Niners win the game last night, but like he's 44, he's back from five years off and he's slinging it all over the place last night and full control of the offense. And I thought ESPN did a cool thing with the on-field mics in conjunction with Buck and Akeman calling the game. So here was, you hear Rivers barking at the officials in one breath as he's trying to run the hurry up and they're holding up the snap. And then all the audiblying at the line of scrimmage into what turned out to be a wide open receiver on a passball. He was able to get the ball to Taylor for a first down.

2:18.3

Mike, Eddie, Hunt, hey, Lincoln, Thubb, Lincoln, Thorium, 48, 48, 48.

2:26.9

Hey, you got 20.

2:28.5

Hey, rap, rats.

2:29.5

We're good, 48, 48, 48.

2:31.2

Tell a thousand.

2:33.4

Like a traffic cop, putting guys in place, and he's got a man wide open. That's downs. Gives you a little feel for all that's going on down there on the field, and this guy is not exactly fleet of foot or mobile, and he's, you know, getting... I mean, he brought him back because of his IQ and great. Yeah, of course. So did you see the Kirk Cousins comments the other day talking about the reading progressions in the NFL compared to college? Oh, I did see that. Yes. Yes. That was very cool. Like anytime Boomer would talk about, you know, you got to be athletically gifted, sure, but you've got to be able to process quickly. I mean, the way Cousins described it is everything Boomer said for the last 20 years essentially and it was i watched it like damn like

3:08.1

you're going through all of that in three seconds and the speed the speed at which he was explaining

3:12.9

it to the media yeah is like how fast he's processing it on the field but the caveat to it all
