00:00Let's talk about where they're at, though, and let's talk about Drake May.
00:02And I want to ask you about the thing that I think has gotten –
00:06there is one thing in the conversation that I think has gotten a little out of control.
00:10Yeah.
00:11And it's the Drake May MVP conversation.
00:14I don't think it's crazy.
00:16I mean, like, I think it's – so here's what it's going to take.
00:19I said this to you guys before the year.
00:21Like, I thought coming into the year, and I'd stick by this,
00:25I thought they were maybe an 8-win team,
00:26and the only way that they could be more than that is if Drake May elevated to another level.
00:31I think he's doing that now.
00:33And I was – to me, it was the Washington model from last year,
00:36where Washington did basically the same thing in the 2024 offseason
00:40that you did in the 25 offseason,
00:42which was make a lot of signings that just got you to level ground,
00:46that got you so, okay, like now you're at least not, like,
00:49one of the worst rosters in the league.
00:51And then Washington had a good coaching staff,
00:54and the quarterback just put them over the top.
00:57They won 12 games and had a bunch of breaks go their way.
01:01So, like, that to me – like, this is sort of what we expect is,
01:05like, if Drake May elevates to that level, and he is,
01:08then you're talking about something else.
01:09These are storyline awards, okay?
01:11All the awards, like, it's writers who vote on it chiefly.
01:14There are some ex-players involved and everything else.
01:16But these awards are voted on by people who create the storylines.
01:24So I think it has to be part of a big story,
01:27part of something that people are following.
01:28It's why people – it's why it's so hard to win one of these awards back-to-back,
01:32you know?
01:33Patrick Mahomes won an MVP in his second year.
01:37Lamar Jackson won an MVP in his second year.
01:39Wow.
01:40So, like, I don't – like, and again, like, I'm not saying he's on their level yet,
01:44but, like, those guys won because they were comets across the sky those years.
01:48Like, oh, my God, how good is this guy?
01:50Well, isn't that happening?
01:51Isn't that starting with Drake?
01:52It's starting.
01:52It's starting.
