Yeah, the Philadelphia Zoo was looking to name a pair of new sloth bears. And it's a sloth bear? It's a sloth bear. And it came down between Kelsey and Harper or Hall and Oats. Kylie and I were very much a fan of Holland Oats as the name option, but we lost big Holland Oats fan, huh? I think I think I'll do you like Holland Oats. Big Philadelphia band. Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm with you. Big Holland Oats fan. Okay, so South Bear facts. Yeah, let's hear these facts. Sloth bears are one of the most aggressive, extent bears, I don't know what extent bears means.

And aggressive encounters and attacks are relatively frequent. Sneaky attacks. I think that's kind of on brand. Wait, hold on. It's at frequent attacks. So this thing is, they're aggressive. You're not supposed to mess with them.

They're wild animals and they don't mess around. Apparently they're very angry bears. No wonder they will wake up. I can't name a ferocious bear hauling oats. I can't go for that no woe. Going on raw numbers this species of bear has the most regular attacks. I can't go for that on humans. Regularly attacks humans. Yeah Yeah nice good thing. They're not enormous bears I mean I think they're bigger than you think this is absolutely ridiculous. They can grow to five to six feet long I mean I'm telling you to have they're Who's this bear is this is big bear this is and three hundred two hundred and three hundred pounds

So it doesn't attack people it swallows humans. I don't know, but I think it's pretty spot on. I Think I think sloth bears a good name for me Sloth bear. Yeah, is is obviously, you know, I don't like I like the line of the couch a lot and then bear for my bearishly good looks But also aggressive nature. Yeah, I mean. They walk in a slow, shambling motion with their feet being set down in a noisy, flopping motion. You got a fast walk.

That's where it gets a little uncharacteristic. I do. Me, I might be the slowest walker in the world. Your slow walker? Super slow walker. I'm taking my jalee good old time. Well, since you brought you up what zoo animal do you think you would be a tiger tiger no chance yeah what zero what's your

how's the tiger tiger hunt you're not a cat what the what am I then can't be saying a tiger What the fuck? What am I then? You can't be saying a tiger. Yeah. I'm gonna pick the greatest animal. I'm gonna cleave it in height. The most badass animal in the animal kingdom. You got to figure something that's like very tight end specific.

I feel like what animal would be a good tight end? What animal isn't? It's kind of like a tweener. What's a tweener animal? You got platypus, platypus, like it's like a mammal but it lays eggs, but you're not a platypus. You're not a platypus. You're more badass in the platypus.

What about like a crocodile? Didn't want to know if it wants to be in the water or out the water? The crocodile's got little tiny little arms. So I don't know. Ooh, oh, I think, you're me out. I think the best animal for you might be an ostrich.

Fuck. Cause it's big. They're deceptively fast. They're, they're big. They're deceptively fast. And they like think they're a bird, but they can't really fly. So it's like, it's not really receiver.

It's not really an offensive line. And it's pretty fast. Kind of looks a little goofy. But it's like all around, it's not really receiver. It's not really an offensive diamond. Pretty fast. Kind of looks a little goofy. But it's like all around. It's pretty coordinate animal. What do you think? Do I look like an ostrich? I mean, you kind of got ostrich tendencies. Your legs are kind of go all over the place. What? Yeah, your legs move in funny ways. I got crazy legs. I got the crazy legs. That's why you pop out of all crazy directions. I'm not agreeing to this, but I'm not saying that you're far off

I think the Kansas City Zoo needs to find us a young ostrich And Name that thing that yet. I think that's the only way to they need to go out and find a Yeti. Hey, if they find a Yeti It definitely needs to be named Travis Kelsch All right ostrich. Why don't you get to the fair matchesages of the fanmens. It's the week. And shout out to Kansas City's if you guys got anything for me, I'll let you boy. Fanmens is of the week. Whole, whole results. I don't even know what I just read the nailed it. Whole, poll results. We all know about the, interesting question we got last week about whether

not a straw has one or two holes. And the 92%ers showed how smart we are. They settled it. They settled it. And they said there's two holes because Jason is, oh no, that was just, what is that on Twitter? Twitter. Yeah. Well, the other poll said that it was one hole. Yeah, but that's just because you have an enormous following on Instagram. And people are biased towards you on Instagram. That's the only reason. I think we got more votes on Twitter. Oh, like I said, all these people are fans of you on Instagram because of your dress, your dress up pictures and all that stuff. So it's a big it's gonna be by a story on Instagram. No, no, no, no, no, no Twitter. Everybody knows Twitter is the nonsense

Everybody knows Twitter's a lot of gosh Instagram. Thank you for coming through IG There is only one fucking hole in a straw if there were two holes in it you wouldn't be able to sip out of it It just doesn't make sense. To say there's only one hole in a straw. Because the straw is one hole going right through. Yeah. The straw is a hole. Yeah, it is. So when you know, no, a straw is a hole. It's a hole. It's a hole. It's a tube. Yeah. Tube has two ends. So does a straw. I'm not getting any of this. I was just trying to fucking out. This is where people go. Reason, because the question can also be asked.

We already talked about this. How many holes does the hole have? Set of this. How many holes does the hole have? Can a hole have multiple holes? No. Can a cave have multiples? Yeah.

So if a cave is a hole, no. And you say how many holes is a cave? Cave is a cave. Yeah, but a cave is a hole, no. And you say how many holes is a cave? Cave is a cave. Yeah, but a cave is a hole in a, no, a cave is a hole. Yeah, it has a hole. Well, it is a hole. No, it has a hole.

No, but definitely it's a cave. It's a cave. It's a hole inside of some subterranean part of the earth. No, it's a cave inside us. Tonneau. Tonneau can have multiple holes. Correct. Right?

Yeah. So is it tunnel hole? No. I don't think it is. I think it's a tunnel. That's why they call it a tunnel. They don't say you ride the train through the hole. They say you ride the train through the tunnel. Yeah, but by definition, it's a hollowed out thing, which is a hole. You drive your car through a tunnel. You don't drive your car through a hole. It's too completely different things.

Well, you drive me. You're definitely driving your car through a hole. It's too completely different things. Well, you drive you're definitely driving your car through a hole. That's why they that's why they're doing it. You're driving your whole car through multiple holes, but I think there's a lot of the wording of the question just shows that people are not keen on semantics and linguists. I know you are. Well, people just don't understand the question. How many holes does a straw have? Is like saying how many holes does a hole have because a straw is a hole? A straw is a hollowed out tube. So how many holes does a tube have? How many holes does the tube have? Like a toothpaste tube? One. Correct. There's one opening in a toothpaste tube. And how many holes does a straw have? It's two. There's not a bunch.

It's one hole though. No, just think of the cap where the hole is on the toothpaste, that's the hole. This is where people go wrong. That's like a straw. That's a straw right there. This is where people go wrong. A straw is a hole. It's a hole.

It's a plastic. It's one. That hole has two holes. That's where people get this messed up. That's where people get this messed up. That's where people get this messed up. I'm telling you. Just keep it in going, baby. Here we go.

We're going to all of them. Stanley Cup reactions. Ed Kelsey himself weighed in on Instagram about the cup being right down the street and have not even known that it's down the street. Wow. In quotes. Wow.

The cup in your house. How sweet is that? Except you didn't call your dad so he could come over and see it. No. Just put Benian in it, take a picture and post it on IG. You are always a mean kid. Couldn't have been put any better. Well, I was definitely a mean kid.

There's no question. You were. What? That was the set of me. Yeah, I don't't I really don't know what to say to this other than sucks is suck pop Yeah, I don't know he I never knew pop a kills you wanted to see the Stanley Cup so bad What do you mean what we used to watch every Stanley Cup together as a family? What do you mean he didn't want to see the cup?

Well, I never knew he liked Stanley Cup. I've never talked about it. You're ridiculous. You're ridiculous. Yeah. Well, did you know Benny liked it? Well, Benny was there. That's fucking mean.

Mm-hmm. Dad, if the cup's ever in my house, I'll make sure you're here for it, boss. Don't make sure you're here for it. I don't know whether to invite that over because dad just comes to my house. Yeah. Well, yeah, it should be like a TV show. You should just pop his hand. I don't have that big of a problem with it, but it's just weird.

I don't know why I say Kramer. Dad, you're not Kramer. Who's a good character? The name is pretty good. That's pretty subtle. I was more so, I was more referencing how cramers would just randomly pop in. Yeah. Now I think dad before he wants to call me text me but before he comes over to my house, he just walks through the door. I was like, Dad, you got this reverse.

He can just he can call me if I can't answer, I won't answer. And then you can just text me. And then if you wanna come over to the house, a little text, actually, you can just come over to the house. I have to be doing that. That's what I'm saying, man. There's something about, we got open door policy, except part of the way

that we don't know, please don't start coming to my door and you're going to be in. Yeah, we got it only for family and friends. We got it, we got it next that one. and friends. We got it. We got it next that one. Alright, let's get to some nuts dumb questions. Paul Mills via email. His not dumb question is how many times could an average male tackle Derek Henry in an Oklahoma drill out of 100 attempts. Injury is not considered. My friends and I have had this debate for years and I think I could do it at least five out of 100 times. I am 170 by optimistic. I'm 170 pounds. Very optimistic.

510 and fairly athletic. I'm not really quite sure what fairly athletic means. As long as I don't get injured, I could get up. Well, 5 out of 100 times, it's a point five percent chance that he's going to get him. No, that's a five percent chance. I was about to say, where point five out of 10 times, it's just hard to imagine Oklahoma drill being done a hundred times. That's where my head's at with this. Like, that's a lot of Oklahoma drill. Usually you do it out like out of five or 10 times. Could you get them? I think you just know what if it was five percent a 10. Like, how far we scale in this up to where we're saying you can get five or 10 times, could you get them? Either you just know what if it was, if it was 5% to 10, like how far we scale in this up to where we're saying

you can get Derek Henry down in Oklahoma drill? Like 10 out of 1000 times. There's not, I mean, this dude is gonna have to tie Derek Henry's shoes together to get him down. There's not way 170 pounds is taking Derek every time. He's gotta go shoelace tackle.'s got to go shoelace tackle. He's got to go shoelace tackle.

I mean, there is a chance it's in a five yard. I mean, it's in a tight window in Oklahoma drill. So if you just go straight for the legs, there's a chance you trip them up out of 100 times. I feel like, but I mean, I feel like he's going to see that comment. I don't know. Maybe I'm overestimating him.

He's 170 pounds. So he's about the size of NFL cornerback. Putz Derek Henry Wayne in it. He's got to be like 240, 250, right? I think he's between, I think he's around 240. I think it's a good guesstimate, 240, 240, seven. Nice. 240, 247 pounds.

Yeah. Dude, this guy is, It's gonna be tough. Hey, hey, look, it good too good for you, bud. He's gonna be able to get underneath him though. Dairken is a big man, six three, five, ten. You might be able to get a shins. You know, if you go with the Dan Campbell method,

you might get some of them kneecaps. Yeah, well, you're gonna have to bite the kneecaps, but, and I'm gonna say that out of a hundred times, I mean, yeah, I would think that anybody of a hundred times, I mean, yeah, I would, I would think that anybody could get somebody down, no matter who it is, at least once to twice out of a hundred times. But to say five, I'm going to say it ain't happening, bro. Yeah.

And I feel like, do you ever, you ever seen Derek Henry stiff arm? It's also just an unrealistic, like even though injuries turned off, like demoralization isn't turned off. Like after he runs over you the first time, like what is the next, I quit. The rep gonna feel like,

like I just, I could just feel this man's like bones shattering, like shaking after the first like stiff arm or the first time Henry just puts a shin right into his shoulder. I am I just don't see it happen in boss. Yeah, I just don't say it happening Well, five out of a hundred times in a span of this much if you go for the legs every time I'm saying there might be a chance you get him down five times out of a hundred I still think you probably couldn't, but it's not that ridiculous. But Paul then went on to add another caveat to the question.

Cabbie out. We could alter this slightly and say we have a 10 yard wide field to do it on, but I think he could run around me easier. Oh, do you think Paul? Then he could running me over. So maybe I get three out of a hundred in this circumstance. Paul, I got bad news for you. If you give Derek Henry 10 yards of space, there's precisely zero percent chance you're tackling that man. The only chance

you have is he has to stay in this very good time space and you just go at his legs. If you give him 10 yards and you have to stay with him as well as trying to get his legs, I mean, you got a better chance at striking gold. I don't know. There's no shot. You're getting there, Henry, down out of a hundred times in a ten yard field of space. What do you think, Drab? Guseg? Guseg. Especially of the fairly athletic. What is fairly athletic? Is that like a five second 40? That's a good question.

Like just fairly athletic, five second 40, is it under like, does he just mean he was a good athlete in high school? How are we gauging fairly athletic? Like he doesn't look like a jackass when he runs. I don't know. Let's ask this, how many of our high school teammates could have tackled Derek Henry out of a hundred times?

I mean, yeah, no. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I got I got you and I don't even know I would have got a stinger on the first rep and been out for the rest of it. I got figures easy a lot back. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'm fairly athletic. Yeah, James is. That's a big boy right there. Yeah. Do you want an athlete right there, baby? Yeah, I don't think people understand how much harder becomes the tackle people in space in general. Every single interception that I get one-on-one with anybody, I remember my first, my first couple reps of varsity football in high school were me snapping the ball to Jason. Yeah. And when I snapped it to you, I would be the first one down the field, one-on-one, getting juke out of my socks.

Yep. But, not mean we're talking about you at the full field to work with, but still, you know, tackling one-on-one is already hard enough. Yeah, that's it. Tackling, tackling dairy, one-on-one is a whole different beast. I mean, a 10-yard field is a lot of space.

And there's a lot of room for dairy canry to get around you through you, over you. Yeah. I mean, it's the lot of room for Derek Henry to get around you through you. Over you. Yeah. I mean, it's the amount of tackling in the open field might be one of the hardest things in all the football to do. Outside of guarding a receiver or an ostrich one on one in the NFL, I would venture to say that an open field tackle is probably the next most difficult. I see where you did. Who's he today? Fucking guy.

He's trying to get me to play good, get me to do after a hospital. Alrighty. I'm gonna take this pink thing off because it's starting to cut off circulation of my head. Oh my gosh. Jesus. Dude. I'm gonna look younger or older. Jesus dude

Well a younger older Not gonna lie younger what's really you look way younger now I know you're lying to me, but I appreciate that trip. No, no, no seriously. I can't see as many gray hairs now Keep sending in your no dumb questions ladies and gentlemen and we'll keep answering your no dumb questions because we're dumb people Before we keep going we need to shout out one of our sponsors fireball Fireball takes any event to the next level like when in the big game are getting drafted or even interviewing your own Head coach that's right baby Fireball is iconic cinnamon flavor. Taste fire and goes down easy.

Make it into the ultimate crowd, please. That's why it's the number one shot in the country. Number one. Yeah. What I really like about the fireball suitas is that there's no shot glass needed. Just crack it and knock it back. Jason, you big fireball guy because I know you are.

Tell me how much of a fireball guy you are. Oh dude, I mean as much fireball as you can give me, I can knock it back and enjoy it. It's the number one shot in the country for a reason. That's right.

Yeah, what's the, do you guys have like an itinerary or any run a show? What's it like to go to the White House or what are you expecting it to be like? I have no idea. I just know that we leave Monday morning and we come back Monday night. Quick trip. Yep. In and out. You got to know back to work on.

You mean the president? Do you mean the vice president? Is that what happens? Well, I think you walk through the White House and get the guy that lives there usually, but big Joe, big Joe. Is he going to be around? Who knows? I don't know what a schedule is, but I think they probably wouldn't schedule this for a time that he's not there. Do you guys get to see the vice president? I hope the first lady is not there unless the first lady isn't.

Do you get to see any less the congressman is in there. Uh, or congress, congresspeople, men, I think, I think we get the shake hands with everybody in the building. We just go one by one and we just kind of shake hands. We go in every room and we shake all the hands. What are you most excited to see at the White House? Um, Rose Garden? Yeah, I want to see, I want to see see I want to see you know what I want to see roses. I want to see I want to see the hidden oval office.

a little bugging on the trap. Please while you're at the White House, do not national treasure the White House. Please do not go get a good fucking shot. Travis lifting rugs up. Look at behind paintings. Sure, we've told you, please do not touch anything on the walls for the last time No, no, no, I got you What's spring lemon juice on the

He said they did say that I needed an IV to go in and Not gonna lie man my ID's been expired for like three years. So I am They go kiss me rat and dirty. What do they need dry D4? This is like they I feel like the chiefs are probably on top of no one who's on the team. I kind of want to get a fake ID now and just see if they catch me. If you fake ID the White House, that would be epic. Probably not going to work now that everybody knows you might be thinking about it. I want to do something sneaky in there. That's definitely

something. I'm gonna get what it done to national treasure. What's your name, sir? It's a R.E. Bromovich. What are the chances you can get the president to say new news? I think it's pretty high. Yeah, I don't know what else we can't talk about. We got to talk about that after we'll talk about all that after we can't we can't just cut this all this before talk. I thought the before talks been good. Talks about no, no, no, because national treasure. Right.

Because then I'm not going to get I'm not going to be able to get away with anything. Travis, you should not actually have their eyes on me. I'm just going to be there's going to be a big show in the in somewhere and I will not allow our team to cut this out because I can't just knowingly be an accomplice to lay allowing you to national treasure the White House. The lemon juice is the thing. Dude, if you start squirting, I'm going to have the actual like the ones that come looking like a lemon. That's the, and you buy it like the the the beer distributor, the the spirit story. Yeah. What are you doing with that Travis White House?

Please make sure you first Travis for any lemon juice and keep your eye on him wherever he's at, especially the Oval Office. That Travis won't be there. It'll be. Make loving. It'll be Charles. All right, let's get to some bold topics to wrap up the week in the NFL's offseason offseason recap, baby. We are exactly a hundred days away from football being played, which means we are all really trying to find some shit to talk about. So we're introducing a news segment. Hey, is this news?

Where we decide if this is actual football news or not. So, the Andre Hopkins was officially released in the by the Arizona Cardinals. What? Oh my gosh. That actually on the I am athlete podcast. This guy really got himself released a free agent. Wider receiver, Deandre Hopkins listed the five QBs. He'd most like to catch passes from. What's crazy is if he doesn't land in one of these five spots that quarterback automatically knows he's not one of his top five quarterback. Wasn't preferred. Yeah. So assuming he's probably going to go to one of these teams and they're all great quarterbacks. Who would have thought? Shocker. Yeah. Real big shocker. Bills, Josh Allen, Eagles, Jalen

Hertz, Chiefs Pat, Risi, O Malkova, Ravens Lamar Jackson, and Chargers, Justin Herbert, Jason. Do you have any comments? Not really. Yeah, me neither. Yeah, I feel like I'd want to play with the best quarterbacks in the league too. So that's a pretty good list. Not a bad list. Of all those teams, I feel like the chiefs might be the best fit. Why do you say that, Jason? Well, he's a really good receiver. I don't know how much cap space you guys got,

but I feel like that would work out really well. Eagles, I mean, we'll take him. We'll gladly take him, but that's gonna be a lot of receivers needing yards in the receivers room. I mean, I see where he's going. He's going with super bowl contenders, you know. Chargers have a great quarterback. I want to play for all the best teams

with the best quarterbacks. Breaking news Are there any quarterbacks on there that are surprised that they're not on there? I'm I got one in mind. Yeah, I'm definitely I think we're thinking the same one because might be And he's got a whole stadium named after him. So he's shocked that he's not on the list Who is that I guess we're not thinking the same guy. Same at the same time. Ready? Three, two, one. Generators. What? I'll throw ahead. You're such a fucking loser. You're such a loser, man. I thought that's where you were going with this. It's such a

dream. But yeah, no. Young Joe Burrow, man, already had a trip to the Super Bowl. Doesn't want to play with him. Matt Stafford, another guy doesn't want to play with him. Interesting. Very, very interesting.. Yeah chiefs Charles Oman Yehu the guy that you guys just got from 49ers a men of who already recruiting on Twitter you free now come join the kingdom the Andre Afghans. Yeah, I don't know does anybody else about the start recruiting you think? Um, I Don't are we allowed to recruit. I thought that was all tampering now that he's yeah I thought it once you're a free agent. is it not, is it tampering anymore? Well, I think once you're a free agent,

I don't think it's tampering because you're a free agent. I think tampering happens when somebody's under contract with another team. So I think if anything, it's not tampering now. Where do you think he ends up? I think he ends up either with the bills or with like Miami, the dolphins. Ooh, you know what else?

I can see like a Jacksonville. Jacksonville. I can see Jacksonville. Well, Dougy P. I can see you chiefs. Don't really see the eagles. We already have such a stacked receivers, who not that I'm saying.

I mean, chargers got three big time guys all outside receivers as in like, they got Mike Williams and the young kid from TCU that's going to be an outside receiver. Trying to think of like offenses that he would fit in. I don't know. I don't know one bit. This is why I'm not a GM. This is why I just play the game and I really don't listen to the rumors.

If we get a frickin superstar of a player, hell motherfucking, yes, bring them in. And if we don't, well, um, sorry, we're, uh, we're just, uh, just going to keep it moving. Yeah, it's hard to go off the rumors because these things pop up all the time. People get named in. I mean, you guys are already supposed to be getting how many other receivers, like, weren't you guys in the running for, uh, Odell and pretty much just about every receiver. There's been turns out every receiver wants to play for the chiefs for some reason. I don't really understand that one. Listen, well, I take a three receiver core tandem of

AJ Brown, uh, Devante Smith and fucking DeAndre Hopkins. Yes, I'll take a three. No brainer. I'll take that train right there. But that's a lot of people to spread the ball around, especially with Dallas Goddard also on the field, the running backs that we got out. I mean, somebody's going to have to settle for less targets. That's just the way it goes unless there's injuries, which knock on wood. Hopefully we're not dealing with those. Listen, I hope the best for DeAndre if you're an eagle can't wait to be a teammate And if you want to win a Super Bowl come on over to Kansas City, but Daniel Jones plus the dead snap What a dead snap. What's a dead snap Jason? Dead snap is when the center grabs the tip of the ball And throws it back

kind of in like a non-spiral just dead sometimes sometimes a knuckleball it is a knuckleball sometimes I think this is a part of the segment that does not need to be news like the Hawkins one is one of the best receivers Creed doesn't know the massive football'sy no Creed is but he does he does, he does, he is lefty. He is lefty. So that's a little different. Yeah. This is a, do you want me to talk about the design? I think you just know, I think you just talked about it. Yeah, go ahead. I don't think there's much to it. That's why I don't really think this is. Hey, man, we're

strong. I would do segment. It's nice. Little off into line news. All right. So here's the deal. The new center in the New York Giants, John Michael Schmitz, who is a rookie this year, prefers the dead snap and Daniel Jones is experimenting on whether he likes it. So they're trying it out. This is a snap that more and more centers from college football have been doing. The ball comes back softer and a little bit less, I'm trying to think like the right way to say it, but it's what it sounds. It is what it is. It just kind of comes back into the hands rather than a more forceful direct snap, which is what I'm known for. Very forceful. I've tried it and it's hard. I feel like when you've already done a snap your whole life, it's hard to transition to like a completely new technique. And I also don't like that you have to be higher in

your stance to do it. Like you have to do it with a tip on the ground and your hands on the top of the tip. And I like getting lower in my stance so I can try and get leverage on the alignment. Let me ask you this. If a dead ball snap guy, once you grab the ball, are you allowed to readjust the ball? You can, as long as you don't take your hand off the ball and make it like abrupt, like, I've, there've been guys, I'm about to say, because if,

what if you need to go from, Under center, yeah, I'm gonna go from shotgun to under center. I would assume it would probably be, you know how to do this, but. I mean, I don't do it, but there was a guy Nate Herbigbig who was one of our backup centers now with the Pizz Perseille shut out the Nate He was a guard center, but he would do the dead ball snap when he played center

There are a couple times where the quarterback would come up under center and he would just read just his hand under the ball As long as you don't do it abrupt most of the time You get away with it. Yeah, yeah, I mean the biggest advantage I see to the dead ball snap and this is one of the things that is a problem with my snap. My snaps, one of the problem isn't that they're inaccurate but that they're very fast so that when they're inaccurate by a little bit it makes a bigger difference, if that makes sense.

Like if your snap is a little bit slower and at a less pace when it's off center, it's not as big of a deal Your snap is a little bit slower at a less pace. When it's off center, it's not as big of a deal to the quarterback to just kind of reach and grab it as opposed to when it's off center and it has speed. So, you're gonna be off sometimes with the snaps every center is. And when it's a dead snap, in my opinion, I see less catastrophic snaps,

which is why I think more colleges use the dead snap, because in general, college centers usually have more off-target snaps. But regardless, whatever works for everybody, I'm sure the quarterback will get used to it. After you have a bunch of repetitions, it's like second nature. And if this is what the center prefers, and he's more accurate with, I don't know why you wouldn't go with it. Message! Hey!

On news that really isn't news. And moving on, Lavion Bell, free agent running back, Lavion Bell has admitted that he smoked marijuana before NFL games. Oh my gosh! No way! I'm tensed!

Breaking news! It's... Well played on the steel here, No way Well played on the steel here podcast shout out to the steel here podcast He said looking back on this. That's what I did Bell said when I played football I smoked bro Even before the games I smoke and I'd go out there and run for 150 and two touchdowns. Yes, you did lady You're a fucking dog. Especially.

Yes, he was. That could you imagine being high on an NFL field with grown men running at you? Hey, man. Different strokes for different folks, whatever gets it done. I'm not here to question different strokes for different folks, whatever flow to both finds the loss of a moat. It's not as far as I'm concerned, it ain't a performance enhancer.

So whatever lay beyond what to do before the game, that's his business. I don't know. That's a good question. Do you think smoking could potentially be a performance enhancing drug? Yes. Performance enhancer? Like, obviously, it's not a physical thing. I don't know how they can.

Yeah, I don't know how, but I guess if depending on, you know, where your state of mind is at, kind of what I'm getting. Like I think I could see how it might, you know, kind of, maybe ease the mood, calm you down a little bit. Everybody's brain works differently. Some guys get anxious and doing that helps them with that. I mean, there's all sorts of things that any drug can do to your mental state.

And if, maybe I went out there and balled out while he was doing that, I mean, you know, I'm mad at what he could. Do you think you were doing better without it? Maybe not. That's what I'm saying. Like maybe he would have been anxious. And he was, let's be honest. Lavin was one of the most patient runners. I ever saw a run the ball. Go back and watch. It was poetry when that man ran the ball. Go back and

watch him run and duo back when he was with Pittsburgh. I've never seen somebody sit and wait and right when that hole opened up, shoot it through like he would he would manipulate the line and linebackers. It was like in a horse and gaps that they weren't supposed to be in. Yeah. And that would immediately get the defense like unsound and just absolutely get creased. And then on top of that, you get that guy one on one with anybody. I mean, he was he was shaking a mother shoes. Like, let's be honest, if he was high, he might not have been that patient. He might have got that ball.

Oh, I'm hitting that marijuana is going to be on the performance hands of drugs last year. Yeah. Moving on on up and Adams. Shout out to K Adams. And up in Adams. Henry Winkler revealed that he would like me to play full back for him because he thinks that I am a good blocker and that I'd be willing to open the holes and protect them. How about that? Well, that'd be a phenomenal waste of Travis Kelsey's talent, Henry. I don't know why you would choose

one of the most, like just absolutely dominant, transcendent talents of the game at receiver and split out outside of the formation and you put them in the backfield and use them as a fullback. I'm firmly against this strategy, but I am all for watching this. I'm evolving this. I'm evolving my game, man. I'm evolving my game. I'm taking my game to New Heights, baby. Well, the fullback position unfortunately is not going to New Heights. As Andy Reed also brought up the fact about fullbacks.

He said that they have been eased out of the NFL. The chiefs will not be having a fullback this year. So it sounds like you're not going to be playing a fullback this year, at least in the chiefs offense. I think I think we might be able to find some situations that put me in the backfield. Yeah. Well, the way teams have kind of adjusted to not having fullbacks like the way we do it, we do a lot of fullback runs, but out of two tight-end sets or with the tight-end off the ball

You can get to you know split zone lead Wham play you can do a lot of plays that used to be designated for the fullback Just out of a tight-end body and even though the tight-end is usually not as good as a fullback used to be You get the advantage of that tight end can Be an F receiver split out from the formation and then all the sudden motion to a position and The defense has to be able to defend both of those spots for that same player whereas with the fullback Emotion a fullback a true fullback out of the backfield Not too many defenses are worried about that guys a basketball

So I think that that's the main reason I know one guy and it was it was actually a tight end that played fullback that ended up Going back to tight end and new new new who you got Delaney Walker was a fullback in San Fran with Alex and I know he was a a fullback. And Vernon Davis, yeah, he, um, I believe he wore number 46 or 48. I think he was in the 40s at San Fran. And, uh, either way, I remember those are the first, that was the first time I ever saw who Delaney Walker was. And Dan was he electric. Yeah.

Uh, both out of the backfield and when he used to run routes. And then he moved into the tight end room when he went to Tennessee and one of my favorite guys to watch. The one that I've always had a lot of respect for who definitely is more of a fullback, but he's a good enough athlete to do everything. And a guy that I think has been one of the most underrated players in the league over the last probably five or six years. He's talking about that.

He's so high. Yeah. I love watching that. He's a bow player. Just a bow player. Love watching the juice, the juice himself. And he does, like you said, he does a lot. He does a lot of combo stuff acts as a runny back end as a, um,

full back end as a tight end end as a just a fucking ball player. Right. He's definitely more of your, I don't want that. He's his own breed. He's his own breed. What's the, H back was kind of it. Yeah, right?

Like he's, he can be in the wing position, he can be in the dot and then, or in the, in the back field, and he can also be split out and be a legitimate threat at all three of those. If you can legitimately stress a defense, split from the formation attached at an edge, whether it's on the ball or off the ball, and then also in the backfield,

that is a dynamic piece for any offense there. Because you can get to everything. You can get to empty, you can get to spread, you can get the eye formation, you can get the like trip, like it, the dumb man. Yeah. So like, and they literally have two of these fucking guys, because George Kill can do it all as well, just another fucking ball player. Those two guys unbelievable. And the other reason it stinks, the fullbacks are being phased out. And I think Travis said a degree on this fullbacks are like, are like that guy and the locker room that is the glue guy. Usually every fullback on every team

is one of the most well-liked people in the locker room. He's involved in everything. He's a big meat head who does all the dirty work that nobody else wants to do. Yeah, I'm gonna do that wall. I'm gonna do that for you, try it. I got you, baby. And then bow and you know,

and I mean does all this unselfish work. And there, everybody loves that guy. You see what he does to sacrifice his body and his effort and who he is on the team. And yeah. They're usually all over special teams, all over short yardage, all over all of it. For a special team's guy.

You know, it's a shame that that personality is in some ways being removed and that unselfish of a position has kind of been removed. But as the game becomes more of a passing league, kind of the short yardage stuff that you would need a full back for, in an offense like the Chiefs offense,

that's kind of like the first down two tight ends sets for us now. But before we would do a little bit of fullback stuff in the game plan, but for the most part, it was all on third and short. But if you just go out and get a really good big running back, he can, uh, he can fill in for that. Or if you just have a tight end, that can do it all. Yeah. Uh, like I feel like we got a great room in Kansas City.

And we got a lot of guys that are pretty versatile. Yeah, unless you're like a true receiver or a true running back, I feel like the league is just moving to these guys that can do a bunch of different things. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. More versatile, baby. Yeah, I mean, it's essentially what you? Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. More versatile, baby.

Yeah. I mean, it's essentially what you just said. I was agreeing with it. And it was Henry Winkler. I can't wait to watch your offense with Travis of Fullback and Bobby Boucher in it. That means Henry is Henry playing quarterback or is Pat playing quarterback? Pat's playing quarterback. I think he wanted to play running back so I could block form. playing quarterback. Pat's playing quarterback. I think he wanted to play running back so I could block form. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, just watch the clip. Already, well, now that we've nailed everything like usual, it's time to wrap this thing up. That's it. That's it. That's it. Another episode of new heights.
