Greg Cody, I was a little bit disorganized here, and in the local hour hour I didn't get to some things that you wanted to talk about, including what the Dolphins have done or not done in free agency.

Tyreek Hill has recently said that we all owe Chris Greer an apology. I don't know if we owe the general manager of the Dolphins an apology for what it is that they lost early in free agency, but you feel how about how Dolphin free agency has gone. I think, you know, Christian Wilkins is a huge loss. That loss leaves a crater in the defense. So I don't know if you can equivocate that because that's one of the biggest losses suffered by any team in free agency. But... He's also one of the most overpaid guys, I'd say, in free agency. So it's like, can both be true?

I don't think he was overpaid. Now Robert Hunt... 27 per year? Robert Hunt was grossly overpaid. I think Wilkins got what he deserved and what I hope the Dolphins might have finagled and maneuvered to give him, to keep him. But having said that, I think they've broken even on the rest of their losses and gains. I hope the Dolphins might have finagled and maneuvered to give him, to keep him. But having said that, I think they've broken even on the rest of their losses and gains.

I think Jordan Brooks is going to be a nice linebacker for them. They gave him the most guaranteed money of anybody. I think the sneaky good signing is John U. Smith, the tight end, who's been underrated, productive throughout his FIU kid, who's been underrated productive throughout, FIU kid, local kid, underrated productive in his career, coming off his best season in the NFL. I think that's a really good season because tight end's been a position for two years

that has really underperformed in McDaniel's offense. I think the context matters here. If you just look at the names we lost and the names we added, then this is not a good offseason so far. But if you pay attention to the cap hell that this team was in, I think it's very respectable what they did. Can you guys find for me how Fuller was as a corner where he ranked last year, getting him for 16 million dollars over a couple of years to replace Davian Howard,

who was great for them almost the entire time he played for them without equivocation. I think that's a big loss. Yeah, less so lately though. The past couple of years his game had gone down. And he just is injured a lot. Yeah, he was injured a lot. I wasn't particularly surprised when they released him for cap reasons, but Christian Wilkins is the one that you can't any't any no ifs ands or buts huge

lost in really answer my question at all the whole of the time i don't know if you're pulling again about what happens right now i don't know the guy who i don't want for greg corny i mean i don't know i don't want to talk about it all the free agency what the right go all the right off the top of the head i just want at work i want from someone who's covered football for 50 years, okay, is the longest standing member of any kind at the Miami Herald.

I mean, while you covered football for 30 years, how did Kendall Fuller do? It's a tough question. Thank you, Mike. For the corn king, like, you know, he knows corn. He doesn't know PFF rankings. Give us a second. We'll try to find that for you.

I mean, I don't cover the Dolphins full time, as you may or may not know. You wanted to talk about Dolphins. I did in 1990 and 1991, if you were being exact. You wanted to talk about Dolphin Free Agency. Right, and you're yelling at me because I don't know how full or ranked are the PFF rankings of quarterbacks.

He's the corn king, not the corner king. Oh, man, thank you. I'm yelling at you. Right, quarterback. I am yelling at you because- You don't know either. I am, it's not the ranking that I want. I'm yelling at you because you're saying it's net even because they trade or they get rid of Baker and they replace him with a linebacker whose name you know from Seattle and you like and so you're saying that's a push and I'm asking you if Howard Fuller is a push. I think it's, if I'm looking at the stats, I think it's close to a push. Xavier Howard is a big-name guy, okay, but he's not as good as he was three years ago.

The same with Jordan Poirier, the safety they got from Buffalo. He's a big-name player who's no longer a big player. That's why they get him on a cheap one-year deal. There were more of those this year than there have ever been, right? All of these contracts are a lot smaller in length than they've ever been. I don't recall this many one-year and two-year contracts for players like Poyer. That's a bit of a seismic shift in the way all of these people are doing business, right? I'm seeing him ranked eighth in the highest graded cornerbacks from last season according to PFF

It was the second best year according to PFF. He had 83.1% Wow. What was Howard? That's a different. Sorry. That's a different not in the top eight. I don't know Greg Well, geez, you know, I I've memorized the entire list, but I've forgotten it moving on to other subjects I have noticed as has Stu Gotz that Omaha Productions of Peyton Manning and Eli Manning has gotten into the content game in a number of different ways. They're selling a lot of stuff to ESPN, Stu Gotz. They're doing a four-part docu-series on Caitlin Clark, Kiki Rice, and Camila Cordoso, and also because they're in this game as well,

I believe they were involved with the quarterback series on Netflix. They couldn't get four more quarterbacks to do it, so they've pivoted to receivers. Wow, I love that. They are now doing receivers. It's Devonte Adams, Debo Samuel, Justin Jefferson, Amon Ra, St. Brown, and George Kittle,

which I would have saved for tight ends. Different show. Seems like it's a different show, but George Kittle is also in there with wide receivers, and I'm pretty sure this show is only happening because they couldn't get any more quarterbacks. They got Kirk Cousins, they got Patrick Mahomes, they got Marcus Mariota, and then they bailed on the whole thing because quarterbacks didn't

want to do it anymore. But also yesterday in the Content Games dugouts, and I told you guys and you laughed at me, I told you JJ Reddick's gonna make more money in the media than he made as a player, now he has signed up with LeBron James to do a podcast and this one will test JJ Reddick's theory because JJ Reddick has been on first take and said basketball fans don't actually want to be educated. Basketball fans want hot takes they they want something that is more general. Now obviously this is a generalization because there are a lot of people right now in the content games to guts that are

Fragmenting it and there are a lot of people who don't who do want something vastly more Informed than what just happened when I asked Greg Cody about corners like they do want Maximum information for their betting odds. They want to be smarter You cannot be smarter than LeBronames talking about what they're going to be talking about j j reddick and this is the strength of lebron james that as opposed to the normal podcast way that we do this for someone like uh... uh... a black guy gets a white toast to host the podcast and have that palatable to a broad audience he gets a long-time veteran of the nba jj reddick to host a podcast in which

lebron james's mind we will have access to something that i will find fascinating but is going deep in the weeds on basketball and i do wonder is this going to test jj reddick's theory that basketball fans don't actually want to be broadly educated about what they're watching because the clips I've seen so far of what LeBron is doing is deep in the weeds and basketball aficionados will love it but the rest of us are gonna be like we don't know basketball this way. Well it appears that it was all recorded over like a certain block of time so So they're not talking about, you know, ESPN can be super reactionary with a play calling decision in the Western Conference semis. LeBron's not that

available. So if you're going to make a podcast series going X's and O's in basketball, but all the X's and O's are in a vacuum where plays that once were, it'll be really digestible on social media. JJ Reddick and his video team with Jason Gallagher, they know how to do this, and that's why LeBron is partnering with them. I'd probably take exception to JJ Reddick hosting it, because this is very much a collaboration between their two companies, but I would want more.

I see that, I'm like, cool, do the late game decision by the Orlando Magic last night, let's do that. But unfortunately, they're not that available to me. I was thinking of Dan the other day. I was like, damn, you know what? Dan was right. I think JJ Reddick might make more money. Howdy, folks.

Tom Brady went down with an Achilles the only time he got hurt in his entire career. And I was fist pumping in my living room at home because the Jets finally had a chance to win a division. I mean, I'm sorry. I'm not going to apologize for that.

I'm sorry. I'm not going to apologize for that is one of the most amazing sentences you've ever uttered. Stugats. From the maker of Trust Me, Don't Trust Me comes I'm Sorry, But I'm Not Going to Apologize. You are amazing. Thank you. I know.

You are a flabbergasting delight. You happen upon genius comedy by accident. That's my gift. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. Are you excited about this? I'm so excited. I have many thoughts. And I can't wait to hear all of yours.

Well, we've already started. That's Charlotte Wilder. And we're having her on because I have heard a lot of people, Stu Gutz, criticizing the documentary on Apple. It's very big, The Dynasty, about the New England Patriots. It's 10 episodes. And Charlotte worked as a staff writer for the boston globe from two

thousand fourteen to two thousand sixteen and i heard some initial criticism about brady being boring or erin hernandez stuff being glossed over but the most recent emotional criticism i've heard is a lot of boston fans are not happy at what they view in the last two episodes is a hatchet job on bill bella check on happy at what they view in the last two episodes as a hatchet job on Bill Belichick on blaming Bill Belichick for everything went wrong. So I have not seen the last two episodes of this 10 part series, Charlotte. Thank you for joining us. What were your thoughts?

Thank you for having me, Dan. It's so funny being on this side of the Zoom screen. You know, my thoughts, it's funny because I, first of all, I thought it was a very entertaining documentary. Like I was really glued to it. It was also nostalgic for me because the early parts of it were, you know, I was in high school and this team came out of nowhere and was suddenly good. And we were like, oh my God, this is incredible.

But then the second part of it, I was like, this is my career. And I largely think a lot of my, the reason I was able to have a career in sports And I largely think a lot of my the reason I was able to have a career in sports media is because I knew so much about the Patriots and they were the main story all the time. Like working at Boston.com during deflate gate, a Superbowl and the Aaron Hernandez trial was absolutely in. We had to buy chart beat measures. The traffic on your website. We had to buy the next level of Chartbeat

because we had so many clicks. Like it didn't matter how you could write like one sentence if the headline had to flake in and it was like the best thing anybody had ever read. And what did the documentary teach you? And I don't think you came close to answering my question about whether or not Belichick was treated fairly in it.

I don't think Belichick did himself any favors in it. So for those of you who haven't seen it, basically Belichick is sitting there and it is very clear that he does not want to be sitting there. It's like one of his press conferences and over the course of the doc you see his communication style completely change. Like in the beginning parts he's joking around, he's open with people, he's talking to reporters and then it becomes we're on to Cincinnati which they did not include in the doc and I was like well that's his greatest

quote of all time. But I think that I sort of admire Bill for not feeling the need to defend himself. I think that Kraft's, you know, the filmmakers have said that Kraft did not have final say over this, but there is a very heavy Kraft slant to this because how could there not be the power dynamics of the team owner, not only the owner of the team, one of the most powerful people in the NFL, one of the most powerful people in the country sitting there telling his version of events who's going to go up against that. And I'm not saying Kraft didn't tell the truth.

He just told his version of that. And his version of that was that he really threw Bill Belichick under the bus. So I don't know how you're going to get anyone to go up against him. And I think the power dynamics of the doc were the main issue with it, to be honest. Did you find yourself recoiling on belichick's behalf did you find yourself saying this is not fair this is crafted by craft i mean yeah there were moments like i think when they talk about the flaky about saying that bill through tom under the bus they didn't mention that bill

was the one who introduced the ideal gas law into the conversation in a press conference in January I forget if it was I think it's 2015 Where we're 16. I don't know guys time is a social construct But he was the one who was like, you know when you heat the ball up and he put out this bogus scientific theory That was not true, but that made everybody in New England a physicist for a second, which is my favorite part of the whole defamation thing. And the media, the media. I remember reading a little bit of Ted Wells and all of a sudden I knew all sorts of things about gas law I didn't know before.

Oh yeah, the Wells report? Like, I cannot stress to you, like, Ted Wells in 2016 in New England would have had to enter the witness protection program. The amount of people who knew who this investigator for the... Like, this was such a huge deal. This was like the backdrop to anything happening in New England, even if you didn't like football. This was just like in the air, literally. It was a gas law.

Haha. But it was, it was a gas law, haha. But it was nuts, it was nuts. And I think I did find some of the criticism of Bill pretty heavy, but I also think Belchick largely did that to himself because he did create this pretty hostile environment where I've talked to players who played there in that season and they were like, it was absolutely horrible, but you went there because you would win a ring. and that's what Devin McCordy says in the doc he's like you know winning was the was the reward and Ernie Adams you know Bill Belichick's football genius even though Bill's also a football genius he was like the you know people talk about like not having fun like you

have fun when the confetti's falling after you won the Super Bowl. You've got Bob Kraft quoting Giselle after he invites the Brady's over to his house. That effing Belichick, he doesn't treat my Tommy like a man. Yeah, show of hands, who not not to say that Mr. Kraft isn't telling the truth. I mean I'm to need another source saying that she actually said that. That sounds like a perfectly crafted, get it, line. Because I don't know. Then that was my problem with the doc. A lot of the things that Craft said, it was just like, yep, he said it.

And even when he talks about his sort of, not rags to riches story, but he's like, I was able to buy this team because of my hard work and I turned this paper company like his wife, Myra Kraft, her family, the Hyatt family, H-I-A-T-T in Worcester, Massachusetts, had a fortune from her father's packing company and Bill bought, I mean, excuse me, Robert Kraft had a 50% interest in that. and that is the capital that he used to be able to buy an NFL team. You need so much money to buy an NFL team, and at the time it was the highest price anyone had paid for it.

So there were a lot of things where it's like we weren't getting lies, but we also weren't necessarily getting the full fleshed out truth, which I also understand because this was a doc that was meant to entertain people who weren't like as in the weeds on Myra Craft as I happened to be. I'm surprised by the reaction because I figured all Boston fans, Patriot fans just figured the same thing. Yeah, Belichick was the reason this dynasty broke up, right? I mean, I was pretty surprised too, Stu, but I was also surprised. I think that when, you know, when it's one of your own,

as a lot of people in New England think of Belichick, it's like, well, like we can criticize him, you can't. Like, well, how dare you take down this guy who gave us six championships and who everybody, I've seen so many people be like, and the defense in that last Super Bowl win, and I'm like, that was the worst game ever to watch. But yes, Bill, it was his Mona Lisa.

Like, we'll give him that. Charlotte, it's hard for me to believe that irascible, curmudgeonly Bill Belichick was agreeable for this project. What do you think? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I feel like that was, he was still the coach of New England. He sat for that interview before the 2023 season. And I feel like this was very much a craft directive of like, I don't know this for sure. This is speculation

on my part. I feel like there's probably a, you will sit down for this and you will do it. And Belichick treated it the way he's treated his whole career, which is that he does not feel the need to defend himself. He didn't get into it. And a lot of people have compared the dynasty to the last dance. And I think there's a huge difference there because in the last dance you had players going at it.

Like, you know, Michael Jordan would say something, Horace Grant would say something, Scottie Pippen would say something, it was fun. They were all into it. They were all playing on the same level. And then for this, you really just had Bill taking the punches and not fighting back, which I think is actually a very smart PR strategy because look at the response. He's almost done more for his image in taking it in this doc for people in New England than

he could have anywhere else because like look at the last four years of the Patriots, it was not good. I will tell people having been involved in some of the negotiations around Jerry Jones's 10 part documentary on Netflix, that I can almost assure you that Belichick only sat down for that because Bob Kraft

and the top of Apple said we'll give you maximum ability to have access to our entire team because Apple is spending more on these things than anyone else making these big giant things With big giant brands and i'm guessing that Belichick lost whatever the power struggle was there You don't want to do this interview too bad You're going to do these interviews whether you want to or not. What else did you learn though that you didn't know, Charlotte? I feel like a lot of stuff I had ideas about, but I think that they confirmed a lot of things. I think Brady saying like, yes, I was fed up. I think Kraft saying, you know, that last Super Bowl did save Bill's job, basically.

I think stuff in the beginning I found really, really interesting. You know, I've talked to Drew Bledsoe before. He actually told me that after that Super Bowl, he went skiing in Montana where he still has a place, and he was crying into his ski goggles on the chairlift, which is an image that will last with me forever because he seems like just a really lovely dude. But I think that also the comparisons to how Bill handled the Bernie Coaster stuff in Cleveland and then to how gutsy it truly was for him to stick with Brady when Drew Bledsoe was

the golden boy, you know, there were little things like that that were confirmed. I also think that just how much players hated playing for him for Bill later in the dynasty, if you will. I think I had inklings of that again. I had talked to players before, but for them to say that, like, that's public That's a that's a big thing to say publicly that a lot of people are going to see so they really had to mean it I need to get unfiltered honesty from Charlotte Wilder on her level of embarrassment and shame that her co-host on oddball Is now having his integrity impugned by others his credibility impugned by others because his jump shot and more specifically more specifically his follow-through have now diluted the credibility of his takes what are your thoughts charlotte on what happened here with the spasming at the end of amine's fingertips and the air

ball okay so first of all I've got to stand by my co-host. I'm gonna say what he said, which was, oh, you haven't ever had a bad moment, which I think you can all imagine Amin saying. Also, my hand has been, I've just thrown stuff at people before. I was eating a biscuit the other day, and I just threw a piece of it at my husband. He was like, what are you doing?

And I was like, I'm so sorry, I have no idea. I lost control. So I don't think I'm the right person to fully land-based him. Were you angry? Because I think the internet has done that. Yeah, well, you're a good teammate, but not a great interview

in that you're leaving him unscathed here when he deserves scathing. But why did you throw a biscuit at your husband? I don't know, that's what I'm saying, Dan. My hand just spazzed him and I threw it. And he was like, whoa. And I was like, wow, I'm so sorry. Which is why I'm just being honest

about the place that I'm coming from. That is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. I saw that, I was dying laughing. I was like, oh, I mean, like no way. Of course, like of course, of course he got caught on camera having this happen. He, on Oddball, alleged that there is no way to confirm it is him, but I mean, come on.

Speaking of physics, speaking of physics, how does he follow through to the left and the ball goes right? Circle change up. What would have gone without that follow through? Ramadan, guys. I think, there is like some wild spin on that, right? Like, that's how that has to happen

The wild spin was yesterday when he came on the air and said it was a win for him like that was ridiculous I mean, that's like he would have done really well in the Patriots press conferences Charlotte good seeing you. Take care Thanks guys. Don LeBattard. He for some reason would do a Gary Stevens impersonation of the offensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins and the University of Miami. Go ahead. Do you want to do that for the people? Your Gary Stevens impersonation? You want to give people some of that? 30 years in the making. Stugats.

What? Who needs me? Oh that? I've had that my whole life. You're gonna go to Buffalo and win with Bernie Palmoli? Who needs me? This is the Dan LeVatar Show with the Stugats. Greg Cody, do you have a back in my day today?

I don't. It's March. And I spent so much energy, you know, thinking about my bracket, preparing a popcorn recipe. There was just so much going on in my life this past week. It's March. It's March. Preparing a bracket. Preparing my bracket. A popcorn recipe? Yeah I've got a you know I don't fly by the

seat of my pants here. I prepare as I do for the show as I do for my own podcast The Greg Cody Show out now wherever you get your podcast. Featuring Greg Cody. Well with. Yeah fine. But yeah that the popcorn thing and and bracket all the bracket i wanna nail the bracket i wanna get a hundred percent this year who came close last year you know crank why what are you doing great what are you doing you didn't come close to getting a lot of practice but what are you talking about it what why is it that you come in here and you're just spewing gibberish about preparation?

You don't prepare for anything. I do. I sit in the meetings. You don't sit in any of the meetings. I stand. You're outside during the meetings and on top of that, you come in here and you're damn near 70, you don't run and you think you can run a six minute mile. Only because I did a charity 5K a couple of years ago.

A couple of years ago. No, granted- Yeah, that was before I was born. Granted, it was half running and half walking, but when I was running, I felt like I was on a good pace. It depends on how fast you go, you at least start out your mile, because then maybe you can afford to walk the tail end as you beat six minutes.

Right. No, no, maybe he's like super fast the first three-fourths of it and then he can, he has time to spare to leisurely stroll. Don't underestimate me. That's all I'm saying. I may not look like it. Greg, I'm gonna underestimate you on getting a hundred percent of your NCAA picks right. I said almost.

And running a six minute mile. I'm gonna go ahead and feel very comfortable underestimating you there. Who do you like in the East? Do it in your own peril. Who do you like in the East, Greg? You know, I'm in mid-preparation. He's preparing, he's not yet prepared

to answer that question. He's too busy preparing for the show and preparing his popcorn recipe. You know, three of the representatives from the Final Four last year are all in that region. Not sure what happened to the fourth. Yeah. Chris Cody, can you update us on what it is

that we're doing in our tournament that's better? It can't be worse than what Billy did yesterday. Can you update us better on what our tournament is? Because we're getting a lot of backlash, and I'm not surprised by this at all. The Looks Like Tournament is very popular and Billy as he likes to do has made a mess of something. So how many songs do we have? We have one song bracket. How many songs can we give the people? Because we're not even tying this

to the games this year are we? Well we kind of are roughly but the winners will be decided by our fans this year. We are tying them to games. We will have matchups, but fans will decide the voting. The voting, fans will vote and they'll decide who wins. We have four regions this year. In the past, it's been all looks like. This year, we have Greg Cody songs. Greg Cody moments, Greg Cody songs in one category. We have the club sounds in one category. We have bracket of death, the best costumes in one category.

And then we have regular songs, the rest of the songs. There's Greg Cody and then there's songs. Greg Cody is in both of those categories. Who planned this? It was all Billy? It was a team effort, but yes. There's a committee, Dan. Greg, you have an entire bracket.

It will all make sense. It will all make sense. We will tweet out the bracket or commit me You're trying to commit me You're trying to get me to commit it because I'm because you're making this messier and messier than it needs to be one of our Signature most popular things it's not messy really there's a song right now We're gonna do the first thing we're gonna preview right here is from the song Region okay, yeah, too. It's a play-in game to ten seeds The first song is

Franco Harris Frank O'Harris, Frank O'Harris, Pride and joy of the Emerald Isle Frank O'Harris, Frank O'Harris, Give him half a yard, he'll take a mile And if Terry Bradshaw knows what's up, He'll audible once again Close your hand and talk to O'Harrarris And he scores it every time Badger, trying to get away And his pass Draco Harris, present! The reception was evacuated!

Draco Harris, he will not embarrass us Instead he will embarrass your delight Catch a hand it off to O'Harris And he scores it every time That's one of the great mistakes made on our show, Chris Cody thinking it says someone No, I couldn't have blessed that bit I can't believe it

So that is one tenth seed I was beginning to explain what it was I was beginning to explain what it was I was beginning to do that for those who might not know there are still those out there that his name the famous running backs name is not Frank Oh Harris I can't be is not Irish it's unbelievable it's an unbelievable mistake. I understand why Chris Cody was trying to move right past it, but it's a flatly unbelievable mistake.

What is that playing against? That is playing the other 10 seed Duncan Robinson song. And here's to you, Duncan Robinson. We all love how much your game has grown. Whoa, oh, oh, you're hitting threes, Duncan Robinson, cotton and dishing to our big O. That's Orlando,

in Toronto. All right, so that is the play-in in our songs region. And now the playing games that we have in our Greg Cody region are also songs. Two 16 seeds, Greg and his wife singing Tell Me It's Cold Outside. Oh God. I slept in too late.

I took the dog outside. Now I will be raised. Your laziness I will chide. A little heads up. Just look it up for yourself. Would have been nice. Why is technology your advice? It's cold enough for snow flurries.

Greg, you could Google it in a hurry. I could feel the chill rush through the door. The hot today is 74. But couldn't you say? There's no need to tell you. That it is cold outside. Were you there that day, Chris, when your dad criticized your mother for not telling him that it was 75 degrees out because he wanted a warning.

It's an all time Greg Cody. Just take and just ridiculousness. So that 16 seed is competing against another Greg Cody song. And of course that is called the Gregmas song. ["Gregmas Song. ["The Gregmas Song"] Ha! Classic. My nuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost snipping at my ass.

You tied carols being sung. Alright, enough of this. What? Enough of this. Beautiful. Disrespect to a 16 seed. So the listeners, you will see in the next coming days on our social medias for your chance to vote on this, we will release the entire bracket so you can see how it's all laid out. I'm telling you, it's much more easier to understand

than we've presented in the last couple days. Great, great, I love that about us. But I think the fans will enjoy being able to vote for this type of stuff, and as the tournament goes, we will update it. So those two songs are in the Greg Cody bracket, not in the song bracket. I like it. Correct.

I can't lose. Yep. It's just all about Greg Cody. He couldn't be happier. He's been drifting for the first two hours of the show, but we have his attention back now. Damn right. And I...

Greg Brackett. It's my new nickname. No, it's not the Corn King? I was getting used to that. It's Greg Brackett. Please reconsider, Greg Corny. And by the way, March Sadness is presented by Get Your Guide. Discover over 100,000 unforgettable travel experiences

That's always my first thought when crafting a nickname. You know? How would the chant go? Brackett, Brackett, Brackett. Seems a little fast. We want Brackett. You don't want that backing up your certain chord. Brackett, Brackett, Brackett. Brackett, Brackett, Brackett. Brackett, Brackett, Brackett. Brackett, Brackett, Brackett.

Stugance is saying that Belichick is just going to go to Philadelphia games this year and start chants at Sirianic. Greg and I were discussing this. Belichick, who I think desperately wants to get back into the NFL as a head coach not a coordinator He should go to one of those but I said Francisco was throwing that idea around San Francisco the audacity of their coach to think Belichick want to come there on come on. I'm serious Kyle Shanahan said that Come on. I am as a strength coach But anyway, I have him as an Eagles fan.

He goes to every Eagles game, okay? He wears a Philadelphia Eagles jersey and every time they're down seven to nothing, he gets the chant started. The Belichick chant, the Nick Sirianni's chants, all the great, and he gets it started. I love that idea. But Sirianni and Belichick

both make the two syllable thing hard. They do. I mean Nick sucks I suppose is what they could do if you want to make it very simple but you need it to be two syllables. Sirianni is too wordy. Sirianni is going to hurt you in that haiku challenge as well because it's too many syllables. Yeah, four syllables on one name. I did it with Larian Jager though.

Larian Jga weeps. Right? It was your greatest contribution today. Thank you. The Laren Yega haiku. That's right. Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan. It's springtime.

And while every time is a good time for Miller Light, springtime is among the best. I was sitting out in my backyard watching some flowers bloom and some beautiful birds swimming from royal fishtail palm to royal fishtail palm, and I had a Miller Light in my hand and I said, yeah, this is the good life.
