00:00Let's get a little bit of background information here.
00:02So we're going to play a video, which happened at a press conference with AZFUD yesterday.
00:07Paige announced last year on TikTok that y'all were a couple,
00:09and I'm wondering if that is still the case, and if so,
00:12if y'all have talked to any other couples in the league
00:15about how they negotiate that dynamic as pro teammates.
00:18I understand why you have to ask that question,
00:20but we're going to respectfully decline from commenting on our players' personal lives.
00:23The next question.
00:26Joe, shouldn't even get the answer.
00:27Now understand this, we don't like to really dip into personal lives
00:32if you're talking about, hey, how's your wife doing after a big football game?
00:36We know we don't do that, but this feels like it's pertinent information
00:38and wasn't coming at them as a port of, hey, I'm like a TMZ, I want insider information.
00:43We understand they are a couple, but it is an interesting dynamic.
00:47You're the number one overall pick in the WMA draft.
00:49You're coming to a team with a player that you are dating.
00:52It seems like the team would be prepared for this and say, okay, here's our statement.
00:56We're going to answer this question, but after this, we're going to respect the privacy
00:59of the people that are involved, and it would make some sense
01:02because it does bring up questions, Joe.
01:05What happens if these two players play extremely well?
01:08Then a relationship like so many others goes on the rocks.
01:12What then happens to the team?
01:13And also, how do you deal with these situations?
01:16And I like the other reporter asked actually, too.
01:17It's like, have you asked other couples around the league how you can deal
01:20with this type of an environment?
01:22Not letting her answer that question.
01:24What does it do, Joe?
01:25Makes everybody want to ask even more questions.
01:28Well, I mean, first of all, I thought the question, it was a legitimate question.
01:33I thought it was phrased correctly.
01:34There was nothing aggressive or confrontational about it.
01:39Just, hey, it's a question.
01:40And by the way, we already know there are other couples in the league.
01:45And oh, by the way, we already know some of them didn't work out all that well.
01:49So, yeah, I thought it was a very legit question here, especially since, you know, one of your
01:54star players has already went on to social media and admitted to such.
01:58So, but the fact that they were just taken back by it wouldn't answer.
02:02What do you think TMZ is going to?
02:04TMZ is now going to have trucks parked out of both of their houses at the camp.
02:09Now you've just invited a whole lot of unwanted publicity instead of answering it, ending it
02:16and moving on.
02:18Now you sound like there's something you're hiding, which means now all of the paparazzi
02:23and company are going to be out there digging.
02:25So kudos, Wings.
02:26I don't think you did them any favors.
02:28And get ready for this too.
02:30Like, ooh, the camera show during a timeout break.
02:32Paige and AZ didn't sit next to each other on the bench and didn't look like they were
02:36talking.
02:37Let's pry into a little bit deeper.
02:38It's an interesting circumstance here that we're going to dive into.
02:41But again, they wanted their privacy.
02:43You don't get privacy in the pros.
02:44I'm just, I don't care if you're a man or a woman, the questions will be asked.
02:47You need to answer those questions or at least start the conversation off saying, hey, look,
02:51respect the privacy.
02:52We are dating and we'll leave it at that.
02:54And they would have backed off right away at that point here.
