So Stugas getting his personal achievement over Meadowlark winning the best podcast company. You know what? We should celebrate it because personal achievement is OK. And I don't like the war that's going on against personal achievement.

It wasn't because of me not like Barkley, you know It's the greatest American spin is what this is and I'm not against team sports I'm not against team success like that is the goal the goal is to do both to be the best in the world and also Let the fact that you are so good at what you do create a champion in your entire team but nobody in America

is going to work their whole life at something, a passion, and be like, I'd rather do it for my company. That's the thing that people miss, is that athletes really, I mean, yes, we all want to win the championship, because again, it's another signal that we're the best at something. But when you distill it down, it's you working for your company.

And you're not gonna trade your company's success for your own legacy. You know why you hardly ever hear about MVP trophies being sold on eBay? That's such a good point. Do you know why? Think about that. Why you've never heard, oh, this MVP is hard on money, and they're selling their MVP trophy.

Bingo. Right? Because it's a lot harder for an MVP to run out of money than it is somebody who was a part of a 70-person roster with a ring. Again, this is not an indictment on championships for organizations and teams. That's what this is all about. But for the athletes as well, like, yeah, it makes... I don't like the fact that it's a bad thing to... to feel like you're the best in the world.

Like Josh Allen is another good example. If he does win an MVP, it's like, oh, you shouldn't be happy about that. What the hell are you talking about? You dream about this stuff since you're four years old. Yes. Yes, you should be trying to win a Super Bowl, Josh. But if you win an MVP, feel good about it.

Yes, I'm sure I noticed it. I don't know if I really dialed in. It's what I expected. The Mark Andrews catch was probably 10x easier than the Dalton Kincaid catch. And I don't even like the fact that people act like that was an easy catch for Dalton Kincaid. It wasn't. It was an incredible play by Josh to give him a play. And it was a... a harder degree of difficulty than the Lamar throw.

And it's like people will nitpick about anything, but regardless, maybe I don't feel a way about it because with Lamar, I know how hard Lamar is on himself. Like Lamar has... been so consistent in his approach to the game, and I've spent time around him, and it is not fake at all. He genuinely only gives a damn about a Super Bowl. And that's what makes him an anomaly.

He has never talked about being an MVP, being the best in the league. I'm sure that stuff is in the back of his mind, but even in his personal conversations that I've been around and a witness to, all he cares about is winning a Super Bowl. And that's because I think he grew up here in South Florida, And that's also all the youth football players here care about.

Like when I play with kids from South Florida in the NFL, they don't talk about college. They talk about when they were playing against Pompano or Tamarack. And it's like a point of pride. I never understood it until I got here. So for Lamar, truly, the Super Bowl does represent something else. And he's going to be that hard critic on himself, too.
