All right, it's been a while. We know it's been a while. But that's what summer's about, is take a little break, come back. And talk about Overreaction Monday when the NFL training camps are on the verge of opening up. A few are already here.
League wide, league wide, league wide. Rich eyes and Chris Brockman with another edition of Overreaction Monday, right? In the middle of July, everybody. It is training camp season is upon us.
Some teams are fully open.
Some just have rookies. By the end of the week, if you are listening to this podcast later in the week, uh of uh the week of July 21st, guess what? Everyone's going to be up and at them. In the National Football League.
So we have essentially. I wanna punch the clown here. We've made it. I feel like we've made it. I feel like we've made it.
I feel like we've made it. I feel like we've made it. Not to paraphrase. We're just like so close. What Hall of Fame game is next week?
Yeah. To quote Baron Manilow, it looks like we've made it. You know what I mean? Right. Tell Tufo like that.
He's a Tufo like all things manila? Yeah. It's a good fantasy name, actually. All things mail it. Write it down.
All things mail it. Write it down because, you know. It's around the corner trying to figure out, write down all things manila. That's not a bad thing. That's pretty good.
That's not a bad thing. It feels like Rudd would really like that one. Rudd would like that one. I think Rudd would like that one. And he has already been contacted.
Oh. He will be. He's been made aware. He will be made.
Well, he knows it's now a tradition that we reach out to Paul Rudd to name our. Uh, our co-owned Rich Eisen show defending champion fantasy league uh entry for uh for the uh the the fantasy footballers anyway. Good to see you, sir. Hey, good to see you. All right, let's stop prattling on.
Let's talk overreaction Monday. Hit it, hit it, please. That was terrible. That was crap. That was garbage.
This place sucks. Overreaction Mondays Monday on a podcast. Here we go, buddy. We're back. We said we made it, and it's we're time to talk about it.
Camps are opening. I'm looking over the steering wheel. I'm thinking about the season. That's what you do. That's what you do.
I wrote it down. I got a printout or a printout this year. My computer was dead.
Okay.
Someone other than the Chiefs and Eagles will have the most wins in the NFL this year. I don't think that's an overreaction. I don't think that's an overreaction. Oh, yeah. Oh.
You thought I would say. Oh, you're just, you know, quadrupling down on the Chiefs every time. The Chiefs have made all the right moves. They made sure Trey Smith got his contract just under the wire, took the franchise tag off him, made him the highest paid. uh guard in the National Football League to play against the highest paid center.
They gave George Carloftis a little cheese, and you see, see, take a look at the cheese of some of the top pass rushers in the National Football League. $23 million per is pretty cheap. Pretty cheap for the cheese. Pardon me. Inexpensive.
It's inexpensive. Good value. That's what it is. And so Chris Jones is there and Kelsey. Just saw him at the American Century Championship.
He looks good, he looks ready to roll. Mahomes is going to have that chip on his shoulder, so why not? believe that the Chiefs are going to do it again. And the same thing with the Eagles, but just out of the Concept of one never knows with the National Football League. and that somebody could go on a tear.
And just go out, come out of nowhere, and take over and be a one seed in one of these conferences that we don't see coming or has previously been, and they do it again. You know, Lions, for instance, would be one in the NFC. They were the one seed last year, right? and uh got one and done. In the playoffs.
So, by the commanders, maybe the commanders can come out of nowhere and do it since they made the NFC Championship game last year. Giving you some other options here, obviously. Ravens would be usual suspects, Bills, Ravens. Sure, so I mean, I think that that's not an overreaction at all. Just out of just respect to the National Football League, where last can become first.
you know, outhouses can become penthouses and There's usually a lot of turnover in the NFL with playoff teams from one year to the next, so why not? Interesting. I threw your curveball. You did after Lex metaphor. You know, I think I've just been conditioned for overreaction, and then I have to defend myself.
No, that's good. I like it.
Okay.
What's up? What's up? Can we go two for two to start this show? Oh, definitely not.
Okay.
The Steelers are going to regret not trading TJ Watt. I mean, look, here's the deal: do you agree that TJ Watt is on the decline? I did see a diminished return last year. Last three games of the regular season, zero sacks. Sacks in the punch game last year.
Zero. A diminished return. Would you have given him that deal? I absolutely would have. Wow.
I told you why, and I'll tell you again. It's because A He deserves it. B. It's what the market bears. C.
they made their bed with a forty one year old quarterback, who's got one year to take this team. to at least the second round of the playoffs. to at least a a playoff win. to at least a Super Bowl run. That won't fall apart in week 20.
12 like it did last year with Russell Wilson.
So You've got to make sure this is all done. And buttoned up, and you have everybody at your disposal. to dam the torpedoes i don't know anymore You know. Cliched metaphors I can throw out here, but TJ Watts sitting at home. holding out contractually Is not your best foot forward when you've got Aaron Rodgers in your fold with one year to make it happen.
So I understand you're saying that this is on the back end of the deal. when he's thirty three and making a ton of money and potentially cap hamstringing a team. I understand what you're saying.
Sort of like Albert Poohholtz at the end of his long journey in baseball. Sure. Maybe that Stanton contract right now with the Yankees.
Well, I mean, he went three for three on the day before this taping. Understanding. You know, each one of them. Where they uh Yeah. You know, that was over a hundred plus off the bat, but I mean, I understand what you're saying.
I walked in pushback. I walked in. No, but I see what you're saying, and I understand that you're saying what. But on the back end of the deal, Um, is going to be potentially problematic. You we also don't know if anything was happening last year that we don't know of physically.
They do. I mean, this had to get done. This had. to get done. And they did it.
And they had to do it at this freight. And so I think this is a you're correct. We're not two for two here. This is a massive overreaction, Chris. They could have done it before the draft.
So, like, when do you think they decided that it was Aaron Rodgers to be their quarterback this season? Because if it was before the draft, Then okay, then I understand. You just wait, wait, wait it out. But if it was after the draft. It wasn't.
You think before the draft, if I had to do Peg, if I had to peg. Because if it was after the draft, then why wouldn't you have traded TJ Watt? Because the quarterback would have been such a great unknown. The minute, the minute. Stafford and Darnold.
said no. It was Rogers. For the Steelers.
So that would have been mid early March, late February. Yeah. Yeah. When Stafford was like, Yeah, I'm not going east. And Darnold's like, yeah, I'm not coming there.
I'm going to go to Seattle. Assuming that they did kick a tire on Darnold and he turned it down. Because the the Seahawks clearly won that race. And for various reasons. minute those two guys said we're we're out That it was Rogers all the way.
If I had to guess. I wonder if we're ever going to find that out because I mean, that obviously is time line. We will not. Yeah. We will not find that out.
But it was obvious that they went into the draft knowing it was Rogers. We were all sitting there going, that's a heck of a basket to put all your eggs in. And all the Green Bay fans that were like, hey, we love Rogers here. I mean, you know, Aaron did so much for us here in Green Bay, and it was amazing when he was here. But towards the end, And now, glad he's not with us anymore.
Glad we don't have to deal in quotes with all that stuff. Although, again, and I'm going to talk about this on the flagship show later on Monday. Seth Rollins had a great interview with Cam Hayward when he was sitting in the chair here, and Cam Hayward said. Rogers is walking around the locker room asking How it's done here. Which is Not at all the scenario in which.
He finished his career in Green Bay and spent his two years in New York. That was all like, you know. It's your show. Right. How are we going to?
How are we running it here? Yeah, you're going to be doing it. In Green Bay, it was like, this is how it's done because you've been here forever. And in New York, it was like, you tell us how it's done. Right.
Because we don't know how to do it. I mean, we kind of, I mean, the coach knows what to do on defense, but on offense, you tell what do you need? What do you want? Yeah. And now he's strolling into Pittsburgh.
Everyone's like, well, he's going to try and make it his there. Cam Hayward said he's walking around saying, tell me how it's done here. which is an uh I I think a a positive development. For those who think otherwise or are fearful of otherwise. What else you got over there?
All right, well, we're obviously recording this Monday morning. Yes, Cowboys reporting to Oxnard. Expect Micah Parsons to be there, but he should stay home until Jerry gives him a new deal. Um, I think he'll just hold in. It's common.
I just again, I don't get it. I don't get it. The Jets did what they needed to do with Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner now. They didn't have to do it now. They did it now.
Because they know the price is only going to go up. Only going to go up. Set the market for sauce now. Tack on the four years on the two years that he's got. He wants if he agrees to do that, like I'll stay like before the next two years, and then the four years after that is when things kick in.
And I got six years of runway in the National Football League. I know I'm going to be here till I'm close to 30, and then we're going to deal with the 30-year-old conundrum that Watt just successfully navigated, and Hendrickson is still undergoing right now, you know, just to name two. Terry McLaurin is dealing with right now. Oh, yeah, we're gonna get to him in a second.
So, you know, but that's down the road. And Garrett Wilson, we all know what the receiver market looks like right now.
So, you pay him what you're paying him right now, and you got these two young Turks with this young quarterback and this new first-year head coach. I can't believe I'm saying this. But um The Jets have done it right. I know. And again, the Cowboys do what they do.
Now what's in, that now means Jerry has to beat that. Whereas, if he did this last year, Watt would have to have beaten what he did with Micah. for Jerry. I don't get it. I don't understand it.
I'm not sure if you saw what Tom said with Andrew on Friday, but he said the number is it isn't going to be the 41.1 or whatever to barely beat TJ Watt. It's going to be closer to 45 million per year for Micah Parsons. Good uh Good luck. Mm-hmm. Obviously We're not sitting here thinking he's not worth it.
No. We're sitting here thinking. He could have used some extra help somewhere on the roster with the extra millions of dollars that Jerry could have been spending on that person if they signed him when we knew they're going to have to. Listen, if you know you have a star at a position that is crucial in the NFL. Or you have a kid that you have drafted and you know.
You like him. You know the community likes him. And you know You know, it would take a massive. shocker of a development for you not to sign this guy. Sign them early.
The Eagles showed it. And even when they did it with Carson Wentz and it didn't work out, they got out from under it. If you've got the proper general managing. But this is just this story as old as time. It's like the same Mad Lib.
Just change the proper nouns, except for the name Jerry Jones. and just change the date and the position. It's just one large Mad Lib. It's wild. We shall see, but I think he's going to.
You know, he'll just hold in. If there's any reason to hold. anything. Do you think we see him at all in training camp? Yeah.
Is he going to play in the preseason? No. But this is done week one. Yeah. Absolutely.
In the same way we would Dude, we went this with Dak and CD Lamb just last year. Dak signed the day of week one. Yeah. It's crazy. Same thing could happen here.
I don't understand. And you can't. The one thing I can tell you is Micah won't sign. on the Saturday night slash Sunday morning of week one because they play Thursday night if we right right you know Okay.
So it will be Tuesday or Wednesday night in Philadelphia in the four seasons. While eating a cheesesteak. You know what I mean? So does it While the Dukes are on the street looking for a handout, that's pretty good.
So What else you got over there? That was a coming to America reference thing. That would be in New York, not Philadelphia. That's not picnics. Even the safest drivers still encounter unsafe conditions, so it's important they do it in a safe vehicle.

So you know we love talkin' movies around here. You know we love talkin' comedy around here. We also love talkin' about classics around here.
So you know what I'm all about. That said, All of that said. You know how I must have felt when I was sitting in the movie theater like I was the other day watching the previews, and up came a preview. for the naked gun. with Liam Neeson as Frank Greben junior.
That Preview had me at hello. I loved police squad back in the day. I loved the naked gun back in the day. And here comes the naked gun once again with yes, Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. Come on now, son of the celebrated police squad, Lieutenant Frank Drebin from the original movie, Paul Walter Hauser's in this movie, also Pamela Anderson.
Guess who also makes an appearance? WWE superstar. Cody Rhodes, and the producer of the movie is Seth McFarlane, the creator of The Family Guy. Come on now. This is going to be so much fun.
I'm excited to see The Naked Gun in theaters on August 1st.
So. What do you do on August 1st? Of course, you're going to a theater near you and you're seeing the naked gun. I might even be there. What else?
I think Coming to America was in Philadelphia, no? No, Coming to America was Philadelphia. Coming to America was New York. Right. That was where the Duke brothers were.
made a cameo in coming to America. Oh, right, right, right. Right. When they were on the streets? Right.
In there? Trading places photo. Great, correct. Uh look. Don't mess with me.
I had four days off right now. My mind is sharp. People in Washington are disgruntled. And so are some of the commanders, Rich. They want a deal.
They're not going to get a new deal. And it would be a team that would be very interested, is what I heard our friend Albert Breer say. If the Patriots trade for Terry McLaurin, they will challenge the Bills for the AFC East title. That's nuts.
Okay.
I'm high on your team, but I mean to go from The depths to suddenly challenging for the conference title, the division title, just because Terry McLaurin is added to the mix. We don't even know in Stephon Dixon. I don't want to, listen, I don't want to pop pal. I don't want to carp on your Patriots and douse a flame here. They could be a sleeper team.
But to win the division, threaten for the division, get it. But if they add McClorran. I understand what you're saying.
That's a big if. But Terry shouldn't want to do that. Tyree doesn't want to do that. Terry wants to get paid. Terry's going to get paid by the Washington Command.
Do you think so? I'm telling you, this is going to finally happen. It doesn't seem like it. I understand that. But 15 and a half million doesn't cut.
No, no, no, no. No, I know that. And they know that. They're going to figure something out. I mean, in the middle with 25?
I don't know what the number is going to be. I'm not going to be in the numbers prediction. I'm just in the prediction of. Year two, Jaden Daniels. And everything's trending up.
And you got to continue this momentum. What are you going to take is most important? And it Uh part Weapon. Teammate. brother away, you're just gonna take it away over money.
Come on, it would be a choice, but out of here. That's the same way I felt about TJ Watson's stay in Washington. I mean, in Pittsburgh, this is going to happen in Washington. I just think by the end of the day, no matter what you're putting on your football hope chest, it's not going to be Terry McLaurin by the end of the day. And my vision board.
I just would be stunned if they can't figure this thing out. For Terry McLaurin. What else, Chris? I want to talk about one of your boys. We're going to talk about Baker Mayfield.
You saw him at American Century. He looked great. The championship, yes. American Century. He looked great.
Yes, sir. The Bucs have a real chance to be the one seed in the NFC. Everybody back all 11 on offense. New offensive coordinator, that's fine. They've done that before.
I know. Baker Mayfield, what, top eight quarterback? We saw the GM list. Can you put up the Buccaneers schedule if you don't mind? I know Tristan Works dealing with an issue, but there's a chance he could practice the end of August and be back for week one.
Order to be the one seed. Mm-hmm. I mean, this would be one of the teams. I didn't even mention this team at the very beginning of our show today when you were like, somebody other than the Chiefs, the Eagles are going to have the best record in the NFL, most wins in the NFL. That this would This would be one of your candidates if they're the one seed, right?
So um They do play Philly. They play Detroit. Home for Philly. No, I know that. I'm just saying come up with enough wins elsewhere.
and dominate their division. Can they do it? Back half of the schedule is pretty favorable. You're assuming that the NFC South is going to mostly stink on the proverbial ice again. For it to go the Bucks way to be the ones he'd, yes, I would assume that.
Play though, NFC West. At Rams tough, week 12. Right. And Buffalo. And then out of.
Conference, if you will, seventeenth game opponent is Houston. in Houston. They started two with two on the road. Could 13 wins be the one seat in the NFC. 13 winter wins.
This is a. It's possible, but. And I never want to go against my guy. I know. Um But sure, I'll I'll I'll I'll just This is on the borderline of overreaction.
But I've You know, you know how to push my buttons. Yeah, they're just, we're just thinking about other teams right now. I mean, it's July 21st. No, they'd have to dominate their division. They'd have to win their games against Philadelphia and Detroit, and San Francisco, right?
And the Rams. And so these are teams that they'd probably have to. Beach and have as a back pocket tiebreak. Sure. to win the top seat in the conference.
They'd have to win these games. There's a path of 13 wins for the Buck. That's all I'm saying. No, I see it. Just they'd have to stay healthy, and everything would have to click.
They would need the big man back on the line. That is correct. Yeah. Yeah. This episode is brought to you by Navy Federal Credit Union.

What else? All right, three more, Rich, before we wrap up here. Just thinking about obviously, you know, the TJ Watt situation, Micah Parsons, Trey Hendrickson kind of lost in this. It seems like he'd be willing to sit out games, maybe if it came to that. I can't think that the Bengals will allow that to happen and will come up with something.
But if he does play week one, Trey Hendrickson, against the Browns, against the Browns. The Bengals are winning the AFC North. I don't think that's an overreaction at all. I don't think it's an overreaction at all. If they can tighten the bolts here.
Yeah. On defense. Give it one fewer touchdown. Let's go. And don't start slow.
And stay healthy where Higgins doesn't have like the uh the soft tissue that keeps him out one week or burrow goes through something. You know. Um significant. Why not? Why not?
They're just as good as anybody else. Last year, last. you know, previously Last we saw, the Cincinnati Bengals, they were that team that don't let them in the tournament. Right. Okay.
So they were what nine and eight last year, right? And they lost five games when they scored something like 34 more points. Yeah. Okay, go three and two in those games when you should win all of them, really. Just don't let them in.
Don't let them in the tournament. Don't let them in the tournament. I think 12 and 5 wins the AFC North. I'm sure. I mean, you can't sit here and say the Bengals stank last year, the defense stunk.
I mean, you can say that because it's not true. By saying that this year can't be different. Oh, right, I agree with you. And that they They don't have a division winning roster or chance or coaching staff. I think if you have number nine, you got a chance.
Correct.
Some of the games that they were putting up last year and the performances from him and Jamar and T. Higgins and Chase Brown. You can't lose those games. You just can't. Right.
So, not enough reaction.
Okay.
All right. Down with the ball. I'm with you. All right. Let's talk about this team.
I don't know if I'm going to choose to win the division. You know, I've got about a month to go here, but. I don't know how you don't do the race. I don't know. But you go off the board, take bangles.
Couldn't take the Steelers. Yeah. Just to piss you off, Seth Rollins had them in his top 10 power rankings.
Okay.
And did you push back on him? I did. I mean, I feel like I could take him. He's got a point. I mean, exactly right now.
Good one. I feel like.
So your boy J.J. McCarthy is I'm not getting into the pressure debate with you, but a lot on his shoulders, right? A lot on his shoulders this year. You could put him in the category of under pressure, obviously. Obviously.
Yeah. Yeah, dude. I get it. Yeah. And so when I think about the Viking season, this year you're going with this.
Think about what they did last year, right? 14 wins with Sam Darnold.
Now he's out. Mm-hmm. You could say their roster got better. The moves they made in free agency, they showed up the offensive line.
Okay.
And now. You got an unknown at quarterback.
So I think this season goes one of two ways for the Vikings. They're either going to win the NFC North or miss the playoffs. I don't think that's an overreaction at all. I don't think that's an overreaction. I don't see them being like a 10 and 7 seed.
Yeah, I just don't see that. I mean, that's possible, but I think they're either full systems go. I see the boomer. I see the boomer bust. I think he was coming out of the draft last year, or it's for those listening, it's the guy on the screen who's the reigning coach of the year, Kevin O'Connell.
One of the best in the league. No question about it. No question about it. And they didn't give him an easy assignment to start. Chicago on a Monday night.
No, we're going to find out who J.J. McCarthy is. Damn straight. And I'm so excited to see it. And I.
At the American Century Championship, running to ran into a ton of Vikings fans who are like, What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? You've met him. You know what I mean?
Yeah. You've met him. And charming, charismatic. Like you want to know. But he's also present.
He's also present. He knows what he doesn't know and knows that he needs to improve on what he doesn't know. And improve on what he thinks he knows and all of that stuff. It's not going to be some sort of fool's gold where he's. He's clueless.
He'll be prepped. He's a freaking winner, man. That's true.
So, but he's going to have to sling it. We didn't see him sling it a lot at Michigan, didn't have to with the team that was constructed around him. And we haven't seen him play football really at all for the Vikings. We had a one good preseason game where he made a wow throw, and you're like, oh, it's in there. No, it's in there.
And then it's like, okay, well, we don't know what he looks like. I can't wait. And just another thing, too, in terms of being better. Um Yeah. Calling that Vikings Jets game as I did in London, Vikings, you know.
Had a much better first than second half in that game. Aaron Jones went out, and the offense changed. It got more difficult for the Vikings. Jets hung around and almost had a chance, and had a chance to win, and almost did, right? Uh Jordan Mason being there instead.
Um behind Aaron Jones. That's highly improved.
So Patkinson back healthy 100%. Full year.
So it's not like J.J. McCarthy's on and on. No, he's walking into an amazing situation. You know, we saw what Sam Darnold did last year, you know, was one of the top leaders in yards and touchdowns. It's why, you know, Cousins is like, man, I.
I'd love to go. Or, you know, I just wanted to go to Minnesota. Exactly. And you saw Cousins on the Netflix series basically say, hey, You know, if I knew they were going to draft a quarterback here, I could have stayed in Minnesota.
So, you know, what's the last one? Last, last one. I'm not sure if you saw this while you were away, but Friday night, the Philadelphia Eagles had their ring party. I did. Did you see this?
I did not see the ring party, but I saw the rings. Yes, and here's the deal, Rich. We've maxed out on Super Bowl rings. It's time to tone them down. Why do we need rings that like screw open and there's a stadium inside?
Yes. And this Eagles one has friggin' wings that pop out. What is the point of this? What are we doing? I don't know.
You can't wear these GD things. They're as big as your hand. I know. What is the point? It's very, very impressive.
Like it's a we got a small country GDP on but what's your problem with it though? Why do we need wings that pop out of these things?
Well, because they're the Eagles. Then they and it's a part of their fight song. You know, fly eagles fly. Yeah, I get it. These rings are out of control.
Yeah, I know. It's so big that you can actually put all four results and scores. Inside the ring with three adjectives and the Brazilian flag. I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And an autograph. And wings. I feel like Jared Seinfeld. Like, why? What are we doing?
I don't know. So, what do you want to?
So, I'll bite. I want to go the other way. But how do you? Less is more, right? You hear that all the time.
What is the phrase? Simplicity is the genius of wit or something, whatever that phrase is. I mean, Brevity is the soul of witty. There you go. That's what it is right there.
But there's nothing witty about this other than the fact that you're, I don't know if this is a bit or not. I don't want to.
So let me ask you this. I want to tone it down. I want to make this. You want to wear these things. And here's the deal.
Most NFL players, a majority of NFL players are anonymous. You don't know their faces. Oh, that's a problem. Unless the superstar players. But if you had a ring that you were just wearing out all the time, oh, you're a big guy.
What's that? No, they'll never make a Super Bowl ring. They'll never wear it out. Because you make it wearable like a class ring.
Now, that's a point. It's like a ring should be wearable, right. You should, you should. You won a Super Bowl, right? If I was on a Super Bowl-winning team, I would tell people every day of my life, like once an hour, I'd go up to strangers and be like, Hey, did you know I won a Super Bowl?
And they're like, Yeah, sure, buddy. Oh, look at my ring that I have on because it's wearable. I get it. So, if you've ever been to the Super Bowl experience where we do our super shows every day, right? Or the NFL League office has every ring as well.
You see the Super Bowl one ring. These are now like Russian nest dolls, right? They just fit. Previous Super Bowl rings inside current Super Bowl rings. Oh, yeah, right.
Oh, yeah. Like the, the, the, The ring for the Packers in Super Bowl I could probably fit through the Eagles' Super Bowl ring. Yeah. Right. So I understand that rings should be.
Made So you can wear them. Yes. Right. Uh not like a brooch. Right, yeah, or a pendant.
That's basically like the crown. Maybe that's where we're going. Maybe that's where we're going. That's number one. Number two is what do we do?
How do we like, does the NFL come up with a rule? Like the competition, like specs, right? Right. And they're the specs. Would you be the ring arbiter?
Yeah, I'll be the judge on what is what's too gaudy. We need to just tone it down. You said it like Kurt Gowdy. Oh, that's my bad. Yeah, okay.
Let's tone it down. Let's reel it in a little bit. Reel it in. Let's make these things wearable so when you win, like the fourth lineman goes out on a Saturday night with his wife, people can be like, oh, he's a big guy. Oh, he won a Super Bowl.
Oh, look at that ring he's wearing. As opposed to, sir, can you turn that down because we're in a movie theater? Right. I don't need like reflecting coming through. And then it flies off your hand because it has wings.
Because it has wings. Yeah. Why does it have wings? Because they're the eagles. That's why.
It's on their helmet. It's their logo. On their helmet, the wings don't pop out. By the way,. Maybe they should.
Okay? Maybe they should.
Maybe they should.
Okay.
And so, does this hold on another question? By the way, there's words on the inside of the wings. Do these you can't be great without the greatness of oh, so it's an entire phrase that goes from one wing to the other. That's how big the ring is. There's a phrase on the wings.
Now, what is the mechanism to this thing? No wasted space, Chris. It's efficient. But it's actually efficient. Do you have to oil these?
Do I need to get WD-40 in there if they're not coming out properly? Probably not. It's just like any other ring. You know, sometimes just like any other number, sometimes you need to, you need to, if you need to take the ring off, just throw a butter in there. I would know about that.
This ring stays on, sir. You've lost a three to one. This is actually ring number three for the same woman. You know what I mean? So, whoever wins it when the Pats wins.
This doesn't have balls. Let me see. Super Bowl. When we win the second one this season, let's just tone it down. Just tone it down.
Good finish. Big finish. It's a bit Kind of a bit, not a bit. I appreciate you committing either way. Appreciate it.
