I've made fun of Greg before for going to a strip club with dollar bills and asking for change.
We cost an NFL PA guy his job because he went straight from the airport over to what, I guess, was it Scarlet's or Tootsie's?
Went straight.
Don Van Nada loved the report, loved to put in the report the details of landed,
Didn't even put his suitcase in the hotel.
Had a car service waiting.
Had his luggage waiting expensively in the parking lot at NFL players' expense as he didn't end up in his hotel room until the following morning.
There aren't a lot of places in America who do that.
There aren't a lot of cities that stay open all night so that you can do something like that.
Greg, did you have any thoughts on the recent conversations that we've been having about the scouting combine and the stories coming out of the scouting combine, whether it's Diego Pavia still got too much personality for the position or Ruben Bain's arms are too short?
A couple of things here, though.
It's not just that we need football coverage at a slow time and any amount of football is an amount of football that people tend to want.
If you're making investments...
giant investments that are largely unscientific because so much of this is subjective and the combination of many many players are separated in that sport by literal inches it's the the difference when a
Play is called perfectly, and I have 10 guys trying to block 11 defenders, and what I need is my running back to be able to hit that corner with a step of speed that is faster than the cornerback who can get there.
When that's what you're doing, and it's the investment of your life as scouts or general managers, and your future is involved in getting that right, don't you want to play probabilities there with...
with literal inches?
But it's a huge difference.
It's the difference between you getting drafted in the first round as a cornerback and not.
The fact that you're putting something, you're putting out a time that's in the 4-2s.
