What's that, uh, what we got there? Can I see the shirt there?

Sam McDowell 0:22

What do I wear? Oh, it's Kansas City Star shirt. Oh, is that what it is? That's cool. That is cool. Drawn by our illustrator at the start. Do you guys sell them? I don't know. I'll sell. You think this one will fit you? Yeah. I'll sell it for a certain price. Go back to when I was five. Question is, what would you pay for this to fit you? I think I'd rather have hair.

Dax Shepard 0:59

I'm not sure. Just to continue the joke. I don't know if that makes sense.

Petro Siebel 1:03

It's just a callback. The punchline is the only important part. That's right. That's right. That's all that matters. Sam McDowell is with us here in the program. Sam, how are you? I'm all right. He's brought to you by our friends at All Weather Decks. Find them online at allweatherdecks.net. And relax. Training camp's off and running. It is, yeah. Been, you know, a little different as Eric Biennemi having a family issue to take care of, a pretty serious one, obviously. And that supersedes anything that goes beyond what is football. We'll say that first. I think it goes without saying. And so it's an obvious family emergency, family crisis, if you will. I want to set the human part first and foremost, but we talk about the sports part here.

Petro Siebel 1:57

How much does it set the team back, do you think?

Sam McDowell 2:00

Yeah, I mean, obviously some. I mean, you hire them for a reason, right? Right. And I think the primary reason you hire the enemy is to establish a certain culture and expectation, and that was coming across in the first two days. I mean, there were a lot of F-bombs in the first two days of just the rookies being there, and obviously some injured players coming off of injury can be there as well as the quarterbacks, but... uh yeah i mean i i should preempt my own thoughts on that as well with this i mean just a terribly sad story yes and you know i mean for whatever your thoughts are on eric bnm's performance in the past or him being the new offensive coordinator or even like his his press conference where it seems like he can veer into not seems like he does veer into saying cliche yeah the same

Sam McDowell 2:47

He is always been really good to us, even so. He still will have a conversation with you when he sees you. And so like you feel for the person a lot in this situation. I mean, just the amount of things that must be going through his mind when he receives that news. It's hard for me not to picture him receiving that news and just that.

Petro Siebel 3:10

moment and just like just i had that exact thought is like how did he you know i'm assuming somebody from virginia called and you know and it may even have been his wife you know calling yeah or it was you know medical people arriving on the scene and to get that call and to be like Not, you know, it'd be bad enough if you had to drive 20, 30 minutes home like you and I would or 15 or whatever it is to to get home to to handle that. You know, I've gotten bad news before and I know it was like, oh, my God, you know, and to then get that bad news and be that far away from home where you can't just.

Sam McDowell 3:50

get there yeah and it's a one and it's a one-two punch you know yes it's both yes both sides there's so much that must be going through his head that really i mean is unimaginable uh so um i mean you're right that that's that is the most prominent part of this is thinking about that it's hard not to think about that aspect The Chiefs, they are forced to think about the next. I mean, they were forced on the next day, on Monday, for the third day of rookie camp, to think about, okay, what's next? Because he is such a big piece of what they're trying to do this year. And that includes literally calling the plays to the quarterback. And it does include being the loudest voice on the field.
