I don't think so. I disagree with you.

So this is actually a busy few days for me to just catch up with everyone, kind of.

discuss what their plans are here for the offseason. We've got obviously free agency coming up here. They've got the combine in a few weeks. So it's actually a convention of the losers, right? Because none of the teams that are actually playing this weekend, their people aren't here. It's like there's no one from the Chiefs here. There's no one from the Eagles.

Yeah, before I came back to my room here to join you guys, I was having breakfast with a couple of scouts and they were like, so do you bring a notebook to practice and just keep track of what players are doing? I'm like, what?

And really, as much as this is about the theme here and the feel here is it's about these upcoming players, no one's really focused on that. Everyone is talking about what's coming up next, and obviously everyone's talking about the Eagles and the Chiefs still.

I hope we look back on this and it's not an Adam Gase moment. We look back on it and go, all right, he didn't nail that. But man, can that guy coach because he's had quite the dramatic few days, you know, going. I don't know how much you guys know about how this all came together. I can do it real quick for you in about 40 seconds.

But Tampa Bay Bucks wanted to bring him back as an offensive coordinator, made him the highest paid guy. Jacksonville wants to interview him for the head coaching job. They say, go. Go do it. It's a good experience. You're a young coach. Sit down with an owner. See what that's like. He comes back. He said, I think they really like me. They're like, oh, they can't like you too much.

You need to stay here. You're our OC. You're going to stay here, right? Here's a new deal. We'll give you even more money to stay here. So he's in a win-win situation. He's getting paid a bunch of money to stay as the Tampa Bay Bucs offensive coordinator coaching Baker Mayfield. And then... Part of that verbal agreement was you can't interview anymore.

He goes quiet, goes dark on them. And he takes a flight to Jacksonville and meets with Shad Khan all day long. And then there they decide that you're gonna be the new head coach of the Jacksonville Jacks. We're gonna pay you Ben Johnson type money, a little less than that actually.

And we have some great conversations about life and parents, parenting and family. And, you know, he gives me advice when I don't even ask it.

And I realized in that moment, I don't think Chris knew what I was doing at ESPN. I think he thought I did makeup. So, Shaka Khan.
