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.
