No, I mean, look, some of these interviews are you and I discussing things. Some of them are straightforward questions, but I do want to stay on this and talk about it a little bit because I don't know when it shifted, but it just seems like people are very unrealistic about what this process is. Yeah. Yeah, they're kids. And as you get older, you have a better appreciation for that.

I know that I'm not the same way when I talk about college athletes at my age now as I was in my 20s and my 30s. And maybe that's a nice thing. But we're talking about guys that are about to become professional athletes for millions of dollars. And part of the evaluation is You know, is this guy good enough? Is this guy the right fit? Is the personality the right thing?

And then once it starts diving into the personality, it leads to a lot of conversations, accusations of race being involved in all this stuff. And I just feel like we've lost sight of what can be the simplest thing is maybe there's just a bunch of NFL teams that didn't think he was that good. And maybe there are a few teams that were on the fence about him.

And the tiebreaker was that he didn't kill it in the interview. And then it turns into all of these other things like these cryptic people at work trying to damage a kid's name. And it's like, maybe it's not that. Maybe it's not that nefarious. And so if he fucked up a couple interviews with teams that weren't 100% sure about his physical ability and didn't necessarily love the tape.

then that's going to downgrade him. And you're absolutely right. It's the same thing as the Rogers draft. You knew when Rogers wasn't selected past a certain point that he was going to go into a free fall because unless somebody traded up to go grab him, there were a bunch of teams stacked up towards like, it doesn't really make sense for them to take teams generally don't need quarterbacks.

yeah that's the other part of it so then once you realize you know if he doesn't go to the saints or nobody else moves in like you could be heading for a free fall here then you have the steelers part of it then you have the giants part of it and it feels like a lot of these themes get recycled over and over again which i feel like are applied in certain areas that make a lot of sense and have us question or evolve into how we're talking about certain things but i can't help but resist some of it when it cycles back to some of the sports things where it's like do you really actually think

that all of these people are out to get Shador Sanders or did the NFL at times, which they're very good at doing collectively telling us what they think about a player, whether it's in free agency or the draft and Shador, unfortunately for him with all the hype is incredibly disappointed, which I don't know that anybody, you know, again, maybe there's a lot of assholes out there that were rooting for his disappointment.
