Plumbing problem? AC acting up? Septic tank trouble? Don't waste time calling three different companies?
Just call DuckTuckRooter. We offer plumbing, Septic and air conditioning services. Call 904-862-6769. All to do a year dirty work.
Someone's gonna do it. Everyone needs a raid gone of it. Even though with Fagin and Becker, that isn't about a raid on it and that's about something else involving the opposite. So I'll let you read the lyrics.
Let's go to a Steely Dan. And of course, one of their many, many hits still totally underrated in my world with that, of course, is dirty work. Anyway, we pushed forward. What a spectacular week.
I mean, I just can't get over it. Maybe the windiest round of golf I've ever played in North Florida Saturday, yet not one complaint. You won't get one. Sunday, the beach, it was Mike Wurrs.
It was not beach weather. But I had my oldest daughter in from Tallahassee. For those of you who don't know, there are two things in Tallahassee that they do not have. Obviously, number one is a football team.
Number two is a beach. So she came back here to Jacksonville. We went to the beach at a great day. And you know, when early got out there in time to see the Connecticut victory against Duke, and I still can't get over the fact that you're up 19 points.
How can you blow a lead like that when you are a number one seed and Connecticut couldn't do anything. Four of 22 from behind the three point arc and you look at Mullins, Braylon Mullins, who's gonna live now forever, including right there in stores, Connecticut where they've had a lot of success in college basketball, certainly going back to the days of Jim Calhoun. And now once again, we're Dan Hurley, but zero for four in the game from behind a three point line. Barry's a 35 footer.
I just said with Hayes and Frank, number one seeds were 134 and zero lifetime with a 15 point lead in the NCAA tournament. That comes to an end. I mean, I thought that forever we would never see what a number one seed go down to a number 16 seed. And we started decade and some change ago, right?
When Virginia lost, they would turn around and win a national championship the next year and Purdue also a number one seed who has fallen. So here we are all week long, couple of games on Saturday, one week from tonight. They will play for the national championship, Michigan and Arizona, a couple of number one seeds. I have them on my bracket.
I do not have Connecticut or Illinois and that'll be the first to match up Illinois's favorite by two and a half points against Connecticut. They'll play around six o'clock on Saturday. That'll be followed up by what many believe is for the national title, Michigan and Arizona, the Wolverines man. We saw what they did in football winning a national title recently.
They're for those who care. They've gone from the sweet 16. I believe the elite eight and I'll have to check back on it. They may even be into the final four now if you go to ice hockey with Michigan.
And of course what they're doing now in hoops. So you just look around. I mean, it's pretty tough to compare. I understand the hockey.
You can't really throw into the equation because there are, you know, only certain schools across our great country that that actually do have hockey, but Michigan favorite by a point and a half and over all the odds. It is Michigan plus one fifty five to the dollar. So if you would play it now, you lay a hundred bucks down. You're going to get back a hundred and fifty five.
We'd miss you again. It's plus one seventy five with Arizona and it's plus four fifty with Illinois and then Connecticut is plus seven hundred, but between that watching Gary Woodland. Well, I feel so good about. I mean, what an outstanding story.
This is brain surgery back in twenty twenty three openly has talked about dealing with the PTSD. I happen to know his cousin. He's a real good buddy of mine here in town. Play a little bit of golf with him every once in a while.
But I mean, this man won the 2019 United States Open at Pebble Beach and he started from ground zero. I get it. I saw some people kind of ripping it saying, well, you know, we'll get the lack of competition. Who cares?
He still won a PGA tour event and he doesn't have to explain himself to anyone as far as I am concerned. Just a phenomenal story. And it feels like week after week after week, we're just getting really good stories right now on the PGA tour in a sport that that frankly needs a jolt. You know, what's it called?
The Zempik or whatever. I mean, they need a shot of adrenaline. They need a shot of whatever it is that just makes the pounds fall off your body and it is a little bit too robotic. Okay.
I wish it was a little bit more personality, but even a week ago after losing by one stroke at the players championship to turn around and actually see what Matt Fitzpatrick did last week. I thought was pretty cool as well. All right. That gets us the Tiger Woods and ends up being a whole bunch of who knows.
I mean, what's going to happen here? My best guess is nothing. You know, I don't think jail time, maybe a suspended license. Do you want to hear an apology or is it going to be a crocodile tiered apology?
Okay, that's, that's what's rough about this. It's so easy to stand up in front of everyone and admit that you're wrong and say that you made a mistake. In this case, do you even want it from Tiger or is he better off just going away for a period of time? Of course, you know, Donald Trump, President Trump told us the day of the car.
And actually went on the day prior to that broke the news that Tiger was not going to play in the Masters this year. He had not officially pulled himself out of the major. You know, he played in his, his event out there in Jupiter, you know, the indoor golf and, you know, his torque and all of that was documented and it had become viral. Once again, he's expected to play in a senior event coming up real soon, a major in that particular tour.
Okay. But, you know, people are all interested in what's next because he says so incredibly polarizing. And I don't know what to believe. You know, there's a part of me that thinks he's got a real issue and he's got a problem with prescription pills.
I don't know that that's suspended discussion that has gone on for quite some time. Certainly, you don't have to drive again. Lead is needs to put away the keys forever. But in this case, when he's done it before and he's done it before, do you need another apology?
In this case, I don't, I think it is honestly a mistake for him to do that because it's so non believable in my particular opinion. All right, let's get to the NFL's owners meetings. A lot of good stuff coming out of there today. Ryan O'Howerin is there with the four times union.
I'll be checking in with Ryan tomorrow as we get things cranked up on a Tuesday edition. I'll say about maybe calling him today to get him on, but he's still at work. He just sat down with James Gladstone. He just sat down with Liam Cohen and there's a whole bunch of interesting stuff that's coming out of there.
All right. Number one, it's about the officials and they're yelling now that there's false and misleading information coming the way of the owners and apparently where they are is this. The NFL will say a 6.45 annual growth is acceptable as far as compensation. The officials are like, no, how about 10% this is a company unlike anything else that is sports related.
You make money hand over fist. It's time to pay these officials. We saw what happened in 2012. There's no way you can do that to the game.
You just can't. And it's really kind of a convoluted set of circumstances because you know, eventually it's going to get solved. What if you got a good gig? Not a great gig.
But what if you got a good gig in college football in your ultimate goal is to make it to Division 1 in college football. Your ultimate goal is to make it to the National Football League as an official. You cross that line and go in as a scab. We only hear about this when it involves football and involve baseball, you know, decades ago when they crossed the line unions and what have you all across the country are have such a backbone and they fight hard for one another.
You cross that line. You're going to be dealing with it unlike probably anything that you expected. Now, I wouldn't think that that would be the case here in the National Football League with the officials outside of the biggest goal of all. And that would be to eventually become unofficial.
So we've heard all the conversations. They've contacted the right people who are contacting Division 1 Division 3 Division 3 whatever it may be, all these different type of officials to get them ready. There's an opportunity that, you know, they could be called upon and we'll see. But this is a story that will not go away in the NFL.
All right, James Gladstone did tell Ryan O'Howerin today that Anton Harrison is going to have his fifth year picked up. That's not a surprise to anyone. Matter of fact, I talked about that last week with all Howerin as well as John Osher because I continue to float out there whether or not Anton Harrison could be a left tackle. And if that is going to be the case, then you would expect at least the conversation to have happened with him.
If in fact, that is the direction that this organization is going. I mean, right now, you just don't know about Walker a little, right? He apparently is on the trade block and number two, Cole Van Landon unable to give it a go against Buffalo, you know, with his injury. My guess would be it's Van Landon, but Van Landon also played well wherever you put him.
Now you make a case right now that Van Landon at right tackle and little at right guard is perhaps better than Anton Harrison at right tackle and Patrick McCarrie at right guard. Now, of course, I say that under the assumption that Anton Harrison is sliding over to left tackle, but this continues to be to me outside of Travis Hunter, really the biggest story this off season with the Jaguars. You know, it's pretty cool to be a Jaguars fan right now. Again, just think of what you were a year ago at the owners meetings.
She remember the uncertainty coming off a four and 13. Now you're talking about what? Who replaces the four guys you lost? If you've ever seen an NFL depth chart, it's 12 and 12.
We know it's 11 and 11 on the football field, but they go two tights and three wide receivers. Okay. They go with a base defense and a nickel back. So it's 12 and it's 12.
That's 24. My math says they've lost four of their 24 only one on offense in Travis ETN. If you want to Diami Brown me on this Monday, I listen to you. I will defensively.
It's Lloyd. It's Dewey and it's Newsome. All four, in my opinion, incredibly replaceable. Okay, I think you can just draft in place and they've already done it by getting Rodriguez.
You now already have three backs with Tutan and Alan Jr. That's covered. As far as I am concerned, well, you got ventral Miller, they're going to add. They are absolutely going to add a veteran, perhaps somewhere.
But I would think one of their third round picks on that Friday night is going to be an off the ball linebacker. Do it. All right. Kayla Brand saw.
Now, that's a big what if He's a slot. He's a corner. He only played one year at Tulane. He hasn't played big time football and really his work at safety was at the senior ball during practice week.
And then you got Newsome who are disappointed here, but you got to have a name of Travis Hunter. So think about that. You're starting 22. The four that you have lost are already have guys who can replace them.
And this team has 11 draft picks and still an opportunity to go out there and add a player to what's really going to be intriguing is do other guys who are starters right now. Do they get knocked out of their position? Right? Does Eric Armstead get cut?
Do they bring in a new defensive tackle? Does Patrick McCarty lose that job? Does could they surprise us and maybe say goodbye as we're going to be surprised? I think he may have been the best offensive lineman of the five a year ago.
I'm just thinking out loud here. Okay. On on ways that maybe the other 18 could change, you know, with some open competition. So anyway, that's got to be comfortable for you as a Jaguars fan to to understand that and just how completely different things are in a year.
When we get out of our first break, I have some more from the owners meetings today. And again, this is truly one of my favorite times of the year. I love the conversations. I love the stuff that that comes out there may not be bulk wise as many stories this year as in the past, but there still are some very intriguing ones about the future of the game.
And again, I'm going to get to that in great detail after our first break. I do want to recognize the fact that tonight shows brought to you by Schmune as vision. I cannot believe April is here. We show up on Wednesday for all you calendar turners.
You're trying to tell me it's already April. That is absolutely nuts as far as I am concerned. But just think that you're not in the moment. I don't want to go by where you didn't do anything with your eyes.
I tell you all the time, simply because it works and I examination at Schmune as vision. If you're dealing with fatigue, if you're dealing with redness and maybe a simple allergy, okay, you may think it's more significant. You may think, Oh my gosh, it's a cataract problem. All right, get ahead of it.
Go in. You may not need surgery. There may be another remedy. If surgery is needed, 37 years, Dr.
Neoshimina as Dr. Catherine Schmune as Dr. John Hunt, that is their experience and they are the best around. Check them out online.
Go to Schmune as vision. You can also pull up everything on Instagram. At Schmune as vision as well. I got plenty to do really excited about this week.
It's one of the great weeks of the year as far as sports fans. I really believe that with the final four in with the National Championship. And then of course next week is the Masters, but baseball off to a great start. They fired our guy Bruce Cassidy in Las Vegas.
How dare they? The former Jacksonville Lizard Kings coach gets fired. They have 80 points that they're number three right now in the West in their division. They're going to the playoffs and they fired them anyway.
What it was our story that is perhaps if time is available, we'll get to that a little bit. Later on as well. Great to have you with us. I am Rick Blue.
We call this into the night. Makes sense. Into the night with with blue on 10 10 Excel, 9 2.5 FM. Tonight, shall I talk to you by Miller electric?
They'll tell you about them in just a second. I will say this though. The text line early on disagreeing with me when it comes to Lloyd and when it comes to ETN. It's amazing how things have changed in a year.
And last year at this point, you were ready to send away Travis ETN for a bag of balls and take part of Washington with them. In return, Devin Lloyd, you know, four years of not much at all or make it three years of not much at all until what he did a year ago. So listen, a new scheme, a new staff, a new life. It certainly can change things for everyone.
But I disagree with that. I think this football team is going to be fine, even without them. Super Bowl 63 has just been announced. 2029 in Las Vegas.
So if you're wondering the next three Super Bowls next February will be in Los Angeles at so far in 2028. 2028 in Atlanta at Mercedes Stadium and then back to Las Vegas in 2029. Let me tell you about Miller electric is there hiring? No matter where you go throughout Jacksonville.
You see more and more and more building. Here's the deal over 96 years. The good folks at Miller electric are constantly being recognized as one of the top companies right here in Duvall. And they're hiring.
Okay, it's going to build careers entry positions. Sure, college is not for you. Absolutely. Midlife crisis and you want a career change?
Yes. What about being an electrician right now and you think you're undervalued? Okay, any of that is what you're dealing with. This is good at Miller careers, top pay, outstanding benefits, a culture where they actually care about one another.
And I tell you what, I get a test. Outstanding people who work at Miller electric. So check them out. Get everything right there.
Just go to Miller careers for the very latest. All right, let me give you a few updates. As I said earlier, Ryan O'Hower in talk with James Gladstone. Fifth year option for Anton Harrison is going to be picked up that that date is May 1st and that's not a surprise.
But it is, you know, it's good to know that that is going to happen. But again, that is not a surprise. Orlando and the Jaguars playing there in a year apparently is up provoked tomorrow. Now, anything outside of a yes would be shocking.
Where else are you going to go? Our owner is going to pound the table and say, no, we want you to play in Gainesville. Our owner is going to pound the table and say, we want you to play, you know, inside the Speedway in Daytona. I'd be surprised.
I just don't think that really adds up or any other owners. They got so many other things that they got to deal with. They understand this is a temporary one year deal where you've got to play football games in Orlando. So I believe tomorrow, but it's time I'm actually on the air.
We will officially know and the expectation would be a season in Orlando. If you haven't been over to the Miller Electric Center or the stadium, man, that bad boy is going up rather quickly. And you know, they've got crew after crew after crew. They're always working, which is, you know, pretty cool to to hear and understand.
Oh, how are we caught up with Liam Cohen today and asked about Travis Hunter. And again, didn't really say all that much except for he's ahead of where he's supposed to be. That's kind of the way I'd like to describe what's going on with the stadium. They're ahead of where they're supposed to be.
And that is crucial. Because the last thing you want is to be a year from now and all of a sudden you're creeping up, you get into the beginning of the season and you're not ready. And again, I don't know much more than that, but apparently things are pretty good. So, you know, let's just leave it at that as far as the stadium is concerned.
I do believe that we'll find out tomorrow exactly what the vote is and I would expect it to say games are being played in Orlando. The Browns, they withdrew their proposal. That was to now say you can trade future draft picks all the way up to five years in advance. The way that this particular rule does work is three years.
Okay, you can trade a draft pick any assortment of draft picks up until three years from this year's draft. Okay, the Browns. I mean, and it's just so interesting considering how the Browns screw everything up, whether it's the way they've handled quarterbacks, the Sean Watson and the fact that, you know, they're one of four teams who have never been to a Super Bowl. It's called even it's Detroit.
It's Jacksonville and it's Houston. There are 12 teams that have never won a Super Bowl out of the 32. There are four teams out of the 32. They have never been to a Super Bowl.
So yeah, here's Cleveland, you know, coming up now with this, this new, you know, trade proposal, but apparently they backed away. You know, they heard from other owners that now we don't want to deal with that nonsense. Regardless, that has come to a premature end talk of an 18th game all over the place. Really, though, the ringleader here is Carly Urse Gordon, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts.
For those of you who may have forgotten Jim Urse did pass right around a year ago. And she's saying all the right things. An 18th game makes total sense. It's better for the game.
The players are going to make more money, which I found really interesting here because most have not been able to admit the fact that you're going to have to pay the players that much more money. She came out and said that today. So I think that's actually a victory overall for the National Football League Players Association. I didn't hear the entire interview.
I just read a couple of quotes and we know that even if they are quotes that at times, they can be taken out of context, right? I mean, after all, wasn't it Charles Barkley who said his comments were taken out of context. In his own autobiography. After the break, there's more polymarket stuff's really pretty cool.
If you haven't heard about it, Kyle Shanahan might be my favorite coach right now, not named Liam Cohen. He just ripped beginning the season in Australia. And I'm actually surprised he went down that road. Most are never going to publicly complain.
But again, this is the perfect example of these ridiculous international games. Not a coach or a player wants to play in this game. Yet when the microphone is on, they're going to smile and say all the right things. You sit down, you have a couple of beers with them and it's off the record.
They're going to tell you how much they cannot stand it. Kyle Shanahan comes out today and really blows this out of the water. You haven't heard about it. Good.
I think you'll enjoy it. And we got more on the Jax. Right now. Howlin's had a real good job out there covering it for the 40 times union is their columnist.
And of course, we'll talk with Ryan O'Hower and tomorrow night. Very early in the program to get the latest their live from Phoenix. But there is some Jaguar news coming in on this Monday. That is always a good thing.
I notice right now that the text line is really heating up 641 10 10 on the text line brought to you by lifetime enclosures. Not as much on YouTube right now. Don't know what's up. But certainly it's been crazy in the in the months that have gone by.
You can join us there. Just go to YouTube 10 10 XL. The NFL's owners meetings going on in Phoenix where really the biggest conversation is about a possible lockout by the officials. It appears what they're asking for is not a lot.
The NFL apparently has agreed to a 6.45 annual growth as far as their salary structure. The NFL officials are saying we want 10%. And they go on and on and on and talk about just how incredibly successful the NFL is and the mistake of 2012 and just, you know, can they afford to allow this to happen again in football. It's totally unlike baseball.
We're in MLB. You're heading towards a lockout in a year. The Marlens for crying out loud. And I talked about if there was ever another franchise that would come here.
I think it's hockey. Right. You just don't have a big enough stadium for baseball. The Jumbo shrimp is, you know, I missed the old days of the Suns, but the Jimbo, Jimbo, you're a great job.
I mean, it's a beautiful ballpark. Their promotions. Everything they put into it is just great for everyone. Okay.
You get down the road in Miami where the Marlens are three and all came to of the year on Saturday. They had 10,160. That was the announced crowd yesterday, 17,355. So they're hemorrhaging money right now in Miami.
They're not going to do anything until they get through, you know, this collective bargaining agreement where the Marlens and the Pirates and all these small market teams Tampa. Obviously, they want a floor and they want a ceiling. They get about revenue sharing. They want an NFL type salary cap.
They're going to get it. Who knows? You know, the heavies are going to fight. New York's, the L.A.'s, they're going to flex muscles.
It's going to be a brutal war when it comes up. In football, I mean, you can basically do anything. I mean, if the officials quit and say we're out until we get paid, is that going to have any bearing on you as to whether or not you're still going to watch a game? Any bearing on you as to whether or not you're still going to get season tickets?
No, but it'll be ugly with the end result because there is a difference between the very best of what they do in the world as an official compared to someone who is not in that category. Now, the NFL is running ahead of it by having these conversations, by lining up people who will in fact be ready, but to me, it just makes too much sense to agree and get a deal done. Ryan O'Howerin goes on today not only to talk about Anton Harrison and how James Gladstone said that they are going to pick up his fifth year, which is only available for first round draft picks. And it's a team only option.
Again, you haven't told May 1st. That's going to happen. Okay. Gladstone also went on to say that they've had a lot of conversations or they have had conversations when it comes to Brenton Strange, Parker Washington and others.
So that's good. I have been under the belief for quite some time that at least one deal gets done before training camp. And, you know, Trayvon Walker, well, that's such a conversation and a lengthy one because you still don't know where they're going to use them. Where they're going to play them?
Is he going to be an edge who moves inside like he did late last year, including those 10 snaps? And with a success, eight of those 10 snaps against Buffalo, when he played tackle next to the Josh Hines, Allen, eight of them were on third down, Buffalo, one of eight on third down in that situation, when Trayvon Walker was actually next to the Josh Hines. I mean, next to the Josh on Josh on Salant. Some people say move.
Well, how are in told me last week? He doesn't think he's worthy of a contract extension. Oh, sure. Who joins me every week has an opinion that's totally different from that.
It feels like it's going to be Parker Washington to me, who is first up, but it could be Brenton Strange when it's all said and done. The editor of the Antonio Johnson, of course, we threw out into on Harrison where there's really no here. There's no hurry on Harrison. You can play him this year in year four.
And then you've already announced today. You're going to pick up that fifth year option. So you have him signed for next year as well. As promised, Kyle Shanahan met with the media today and was asked about, you know, beginning the season in Australia.
And here's the quote, which I love from Kyle Shanahan. I was so fired up. That was our goal to go 19 hours away to play a game. I think we're going back in time or into the future.
I think we gain a day or lose a day. I'm not sure which one yet. This may not be a big deal here in Jacksonville, but it's a huge deal. If you look at how absurd this really is, okay, to globalize this game by making a team travel 19 hours to play a football game.
And whether it's Brazil, whether it's Mexico, whether it's London, whether it is Australia, it's just not good. It's not what anyone wants except for the 32 owners. Now, some of you may say you're wrong because I like to get up early on a Sunday morning. I like the 930 games and then you get the one and the 430 games and the eight o'clock game.
Okay. So there is some that would like it for that reason. You're not going to like it if you're playing two games over there in London. Are you getting up twice for 930 match ups?
It just, it's such a way. Listen, I've traveled on these chargers in their phenomenal. The way that you were treated is like a king. You don't deal with airports.
Okay. You go through security and you do so on the tarmac. You load the charter. You fly.
You land. You get off on the tarmac. Go through security. Your bags are waiting.
Buses take you with a police escort right to your hotel. The way they have things lined up with players, coaches and staff with envelopes. You have to your hotel room in 10 minutes. It's nuts.
You know the one place where that is not allowed? London. You're back to up in customs. You're going to wait an hour, 90 minutes, whatever it may be.
There's no police escort. Now you may be saying who cares? They're selfish. They're pre-medon.
It matters. It matters if you're a football player and you're dinged up. Your body is banged up. Okay.
We talk about the tiger situation in meds and popping pills. These guys are beating up. Getting on an airplane for a very long period of time is not good for anyone. Certainly not good for these.
A 19 hour trip. Now maybe there's an embellishment there by Shanahan. But without any question. Okay.
This is good for only the owners and only their pocketbook. I know tons of Jaguars fans. Maybe you did a trip to London. Maybe you're planning on a trip this year to London.
If so, go have a blast. All the power to you. But outside of that, how many people really like the fact that that is the deal? That you only have six home games this year.
Now with Orlando next year, that means you get six games to watch here in town over the next two years. Think about that for a moment. I love that Kyle Shanahan said this today. I admire the fact that he said that he's a big fan of the game.
What all 32 coaches are thinking. He said what all 2000 plus players are thinking and he said it. And interestingly enough, I thought it would be huge news. But you know what?
ESPN all that they're all in bed with the NFL. They're not going to overdo it. They're not going to oversell it. They'll just bury it.
Instead, it becomes a meaningless footnotes. Except for certainly myself. I happen to love this store. That's why I just mentioned it.
I didn't give him the polymarket. Some of that stuff. There's more coming out of the NFL. I mean, you talk about not leaving one stone unturned.
They're looking at everything right now. In pro football. And I think it's been a pretty good day as far as the information that has come out with the owners out in Phoenix. Again, if you're joining us for the first time, right now, how are we going to join me live from Phoenix tomorrow?
We'll get everything from the NFL's owners meetings, not only league wide, but his conversations with both Liam Cohen and James Gladstone. He had a chance to sit down with both a little bit earlier today. Let's start to get you involved with the program. 641-10110 is the best bet.
That is on the text line right by lifetime. Enclosures. You can also join us on YouTube, but a 10-10 XL into the night. That's a bad guy.
What a win. Congratulations on the Houston Open had brain surgery in 2023 really is still dealing with all sorts of different issues. He's been pretty open about it. Some pretty interesting things have been written about him.
They had an opportunity to read it. So congratulations. They're the bad. How dare you in Vegas fire.
Former Jacksonville lizard king head coach Bruce Cassidy and their playoff team. They still said get by to him. So that was a big surprise when I saw that roll in yesterday. Aaron Williams, you officiated over the weekend.
You had that big deal over at the Clay County Fair. How did all that go? It was fine. The weather was a little strange.
It started out sunny bright blue skies and then this overcast came with Misty Rain and Wind and everything. All I had to raise my voice one time. And I was at the very beginning first game. Everything was good after that.
Yeah. As I said on Saturday, that missed was blowing all over the place. I was one of the windiest days I ever remember on a golf course here in North Florida. And it came out of nowhere.
It was like the day started out great. I was going to be a good day. Which still was a good day. But yeah, that missed and that rain and the wind came out of nowhere.
Any day in a golf course is a good day. Any day at the beach is a good day. I don't know if I would have gone if my older daughter wasn't in town. But we had to blast.
We had to wear sweatshirts. You know, I mean, but we still had a nice conversation and yeah, there was there was more than the expected amount of pelicans actually on the scene. I'm a big pelican guy. Maybe my favorite animal.
And you know, I noticed that the more south you go, if you roll through St. Og and you know, I'll be down to Palm Coast, right? But tansus, whatever it is, maybe more and more and more and more of pelicans. I usually don't see a lot of pelicans at my course.
And they were out yesterday. So that was a pleasant treat. And yes, it's my course. It's not my course.
I want to yours now. Right? Oh, Murta, the five families nestled in those burrows and you people have do all one of yours and it's my course. Anyone tells you anything different.
They do not know what they are talking about. 30. I had a Rick. I'll say this to you, Brown.
Danny Brown. We don't win that chief's game without him. That last drive because he's the brown and then Brian Thomas Jr. Then Brown and Trevor score.
We don't win the game without them. That's all I can say. And try to remember the specifics of that game. I'm going to take your word for it.
And I'll add this. I think Brian Thomas Jr. is going to be fine. Gladstone.
Talked about him again today. Cohen talked about him again today. All the right things are being said. I was not surprised.
But I was like, Oh, here we go again. When I got up this morning and I started reading this article on ESPN by Rich Simini that Brian Thomas Jr. is the number one wide receiver listed who could end up with a New York Jets. And I think they announced, you know, there was like eight to 10 players in Brian Thomas Jr.
was number one. And it was like, do they not listen to what's going on here? They're not here. James Gladstone.
We met with the media recently. Why are these people who do not live here? They're all across the country who are so steadfast that Thomas is going to get moved. That blows me away.
I think Thomas is going to be fine. There's no doubt. The biggest surprise negatively speaking to last year is what happened with Brown because he looks spectacular in camp. He really did.
Other folks took those snaps from him. Right at Parker, Washington, taking it away. Credit the trade that they made with the Raiders. You can go out the way to Tim Patrick.
It's just one thing. You know, Myers Patrick, they earned it. And they paid a lot of money. 10 million dollars.
And for some of you who may not be aware of this on the ad that he went back to DC. And he got a one year, $3 million deal. He made $10 million here a year ago. But you would think that maybe he would pop off.
Right. I didn't get an opportunity this and that. It's so easy to pop off and say something negative. It was the exact opposite.
He gave a ringing endorsement about this organization. How we learn more about football. And it really began with Liam Cohen. And it went through Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr.
and Trevor. I mean, just everyone. So I give the young man a whole heck of a lot of credit because really what are you going to gain by destroying where you were if you still want to play in this league for a while. And I'm not saying that if he made those comments, he wouldn't have had an opportunity to go back to the District of Columbia.
But again, look how important character is here. Look how important loving the game of football is here. Devin Lloyd said very similar things when he met with the media in Carolina. Again, if you met that, if you missed that conversation, he did come out and say that Jackson absolutely did offer him a contract.
We wondered about that. We knew that ETM was offered one. You knew that he was going to get offered a big deal in the communication. We continue.
But I honestly didn't know. Were they going to put an offer on the table for Devin Lloyd? And apparently they did. Let's get ready for our number two.
I promise I'm going to be given this Pauli Market stuff because I think it's got some serious legs. Also going to update you on everything else that has gone on at the owners meetings, both nationally and what's going on with the Jaguars because Rhino Howling caught up with both Cohen and Gladstone. So I'm going to give you that. And I want to begin to grab your questions.
Okay. A lot's coming in right now on the text line. We certainly do have room for you. 64 110 10.
And that's brought you by Lifetime Enclosures. You can also join us tonight on YouTube. It's got a 10 10 XL into the night. Into the night with with balloon on 10 10 XL, 92.5 event Monday.
Got a lot of it. What a weekend. Final four is set Illinois, a two and a half point favorite against Connecticut. That'll be game one on Saturday and then it's Michigan, a one and a half point favorite against Arizona.
The losers. I think I'm going to give him some costly turn over. I can't believe they couldn't get the ball over the court. Again, I'm as wise and I'm like, this reminds me of one of Leonard Hamilton coach, Florida.
How many times could Florida State knocking the ball over the 10, you know, 10 seconds get over the mid court or struggle to get the ball in bounds and Duke was able to do that. They made one pass, right? And you can make the case and probably hung on the ball a little bit longer. But nonetheless, Braywin Mullins makes the huge three pointer.
He had been zero for four. for 22 before you ended up making it. So there you go. Two number one seeds and number two seed, number three seed, all representing states, right?
State names, Michigan, Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Arizona is where the NFL owners meetings are. What is it about wide receivers that they're such divas? Look at the headlines right now in the football section of ESPN.com. Eagles General Manager says, they're not gonna trade AJ Brown.
John Harbaugh talks about possibly getting back with OBJ. Brandon Iuch from both the head coach and the general manager, they still believe he's never gonna play again in San Francisco. The Rams explored trading Devonta Adams. The Minnesota Vikings pick up the fifth year option for Jordan Addison, and then they go on to talk about his three run-ins with the police a year ago.
There's nothing even close to this in athletics, all right? You can maybe send me down a lane in the NBA, and I would think about it, but majorly baseball, no, the NHL, no, other positions in the NFL. No, you would think the biggest diva position of all would be quarterback, right? It's not.
You know, we've had some DBs that pop off. If I could jail and I could think of Dion. But why is it, is it the mental makeup or how do you describe that it is wide receiver after wide receiver who falls into these type of categories, whether it's team related or it's law enforcement related. There's always something with wide receivers.
And I think it's pretty cool around here that you're not dealing with that. I think some people have wrong information when it comes to Travis Hunter. Travis Hunter is a phenomenal teammate. Travis Hunter is incredibly supportive.
You can see it when you're out there watching a practice at the Miller Electric Center. Again, Brian Thomas Jr., okay, he didn't have a great year. It was nothing compared to his rookie season. He's not a diva.
Parker Washington's a total effort guy. I mean, you make that move and bring in Jacoby Myers. What's the first thing you heard when they brought Myers in? He's a leader.
He's a great route runner. He's gonna give you the tough yards. He's gonna go over the middle and catch the ball there. Look at his drop rate.
One of the best around. I mean, it's just one thing after another, all positive. But man, it's a league. I really don't know what to make of it.
I don't even know how to explain why it is always that position that basically destroys people nuts around the league when it does come to wide receivers. All right, we find this for you. This was interesting today, the whole polymarket deal, which I guess I go to here and there. And I'm not a someone who's honored all the time, but you only do a lot of predictions and I'm sure they go through a lot of different things.
But the NFL now reached out to them yesterday and they are asking the folks at Polymarket not to offer trades on outcomes that can be easily manipulated or determined in advance, right? Objectionable topics include things I announcer say, okay? NFL broadcasts, celebrities that will or will not be attending again, as a matter of fact, the example that they say is $24 million was bet a year ago on these type of things. The example was whether or not Mark Wahlberg is going to be at the Super Bowl.
I've inquired about this for years because, I mean, we're not talking about millions of dollars, but wouldn't it be pretty easy to make 10 grand if you knew Mark Wahlberg was going to the Super Bowl and you were actually able to play that prop? If you knew that so-and-so was gonna carry on the national anthem and be very expressive and long winded towards the end of the anthem and it's gonna go over, you get tipped off by someone in the, you know, part of the staff, okay? To find out the color of the Gatorade that gets dumped on the culture. I mean, again, you're not gonna lay down a million dollars, you're not gonna accept that bet.
And I'm sure some entities limit things to, I don't even know, maybe 500 bucks, maybe 1,000, maybe 10 grand or whatever it is, but still it could be easy money and for a lot of people that, you know, that's a good chunk of cash. You know, for the hardcore, sharp, gambler, maybe not, but, you know, to Joe Sixpack, that could be big money. So no return on this particular story, I just don't know how they're ever gonna be able to police something like this, okay? The NFL is in bed with legal gambling, okay?
And again, the NFL, just remember what they tried to do last month. They tried to shut down report cards from the National Football League Players Association that are always made public. They did that only because their feelings are hurt. There are certain owners and certain organizations that just get destroyed.
Jacksonville, by the way, was not one of them. Jacksonville had solid marks top to bottom. I mean, everything from the brand new facility at the Miller Electric Center to playing for owner Chod Con to Coach William Cotton, it was just one after another. I mean, Jacksonville, but that was not the case a year ago.
That was not the case a couple of years ago. I mean, the marks on Jacksonville were brutal. And some artists just don't want that information out there. Well, how long it took for that to get out when you had more than 2,000 people who actually had the results of the report card.
It took no time for that the week. Everyone got it. I saw it. It was released league wide.
I look at this as a very similar situation. If the owners are telling this entity, you cannot do this. In my mind, that'll create a situation where not only does this happen, I think we actually are much more aware of it moving forward. Just my thoughts overall on it.
So we will say, all right, let's grab some of this stuff. What are you talking about, Michael? I don't think it's so towny, it's crossroads and the good old boy in Palm Valley. What do they call it, Michael?
That's what I'm talking about, not makelers. I've had way too many conversations with the locals about that. So it is Michael's. OK, because I do hear it both ways and I never know which one is right.
I'm going with, I was told originally 0981. Curious why your favorite animal is a pelican. Also, yes, it is definitely Michael's. I just love pelicans.
As a matter of fact, the GF bought me this huge, beautiful artist of a pelican. She put it above the toilet in the bedroom. So now whenever I stand up and I do stand, I can look at a pelican. And it's just really peaceful.
Yeah, there's something peaceful about a pelican. I love pelicans. And I know Chad Scott, who used to work here, was a program director. He's like an advanced bird watcher.
And I don't know how you become an advanced bird watcher. But I can see when I hit the golden years and I can't play as much golf. And I'm going to have to find something else. I could see me maybe falling into that category.
Big fan of birds. Pelicans are number one. You haven't the Robbie's out the keys. Will you feed the Marlin or the Tarpon, excuse me?
And they got the pelicans all over the place. They don't eat the fish. I mean, they really eat. I haven't been.
Those big boys are getting after it. They're well fed. But it is so graceful. The way they all fly in unison, they flap the wings all at the same time, they glide.
It's almost like a flyover. Instead of a flyover over the stadium, it's a flyover over Michael or his beach. Absolutely fantastic. 53, 48, but we would snuck it for the players.
International games are dumb. Why can't we get a player to say that? Seriously. Why can't we get a player to say it?
And you know, we just talk about these wide receivers who would divas who say anything, but they won't even say it. I just feel like NFL players, you know, they get in trouble for anything they say that could be negative towards what decisions the NFL's made. Speaking of getting in trouble for things that people say, do you see this report that just came out of the NBA? What's that?
In Chicago, J-90, flat out waived for anti-gay comments. I mean, aren't we well passed this? People have to understand that you cannot say anything negative that involves Pride Month or anything. I don't even know why this is a story.
It's so, it's accepted. It's accepted by virtually everyone. To me, it's a non-story, but this kid popped off about it. He's only 24, he's a kid.
Guess he's dealt with depression and stuff like this, but he went on and on and on and commented on. I don't know if he did it publicly or viral, or if it was viral or, you know, he said it to a reporter, but he was just flat out canceled. And typically sports is the one, if I was to say it, I got no shot, I'm done. If anyone in broadcasting is to say it outside of maybe a select few, they're done.
But typically in sports, you can get after anything, and you're a 1%er, you're gonna get some criticism where you're not gonna lose your job. He did, they're igniting. Don't know much about him. Fifth year in the league, out of Purdue.
Let's see, he spent his first four years in Detroit. He was traded midway through this season from Detroit and got played four career games in Chicago. And his career now comes to an average of 14.8 points a game. And this is a pretty good basketball player.
The average 16, three, 15, four, 17, six, then down a little bit this year, but cost him his gig. Eh, I used to like pelicans until one night at the beach. A storm was running wild when I was blowing, I got, oh, he got dropped on. Okay, from above 50 feet, it was the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to me.
Yeah, that wouldn't be good. That wouldn't be good at all. Droppings from any animal, certainly including a pelican. 51, 27, Billy Lloyd is not an easy replacement.
Dude was an all pro in our best is ventrell. Okay, but it was the perfect system for him. And he blitzed a ton of times. He had 22 pressures.
