00:00Let's hear from Kevin Stefanski.
00:01Obviously, more activity going on up there at Flowery Branch.
00:05Mandatory minicamp doesn't start until next week.
00:07And I think that's when, you know, I guess we'll get more answers about stuff then.
00:10But here he is talking about Michael Penix's timetable once more.
00:14I don't have that, you know, in front of me today,
00:16other than to say he's hitting every milestone that he's supposed to hit.
00:20Been in constant communication with our medical team and Mike.
00:23And I think he's doing everything he can do.
00:28And certainly when he may want to do more,
00:31we have to hold him back from certain things potentially.
00:34But nothing, not going to put any time frames out there just yet.
00:38Just going to focus on what's in front of him.
00:40Yeah, look, and that's been the line all along.
00:42Andy, what is this?
00:45What time is it right up there?
00:47What are they doing up there?
00:48OTAs, right?
00:49OTAs, yeah.
00:49Okay.
00:50Which I think stands for Organized Team Activity.
00:52Yeah, okay.
00:53I'm just curious because when Michael Penix was sitting out yesterday
00:56and everything like that, it was.
00:57Scheduled day off.
00:58Yeah, scheduled day off.
00:59And I was like, I got some tweets about that.
01:01I was like, why is he having a day off?
01:03It's OT freaking A's one.
01:05They all have the day off.
01:05He's six months.
01:06Pretty much.
01:07He's six months out of, is he six months out of surgery?
01:11Yeah, pretty, yeah.
01:12Yeah, in November, yeah.
01:13Yeah, yeah.
01:14Seven.
01:14Like, I just think, I didn't get the, like,
01:16it's my 20-year-old-day, Randy.
01:18Michael Penix, what did he say to me?
01:21He said, let me read it real quick.
01:22Because he was basically saying that, why does he need a day off?
01:25All right, it's a competition.
01:27Nobody's ever won a competition in the spring.
01:30Not now, never.
01:31Not now, ever, Andy.
01:33No, not now.
01:33All right, it's a day off in the spring.
01:35The competition hasn't started yet.
01:36Do you know that there's a possibility that he won't be ready for training camp?
01:39Now, then the competition would end.
01:40But that's what I'm saying.
01:42There's still a possibility that he won't be ready to play,
01:45be ready to go full go in July.
01:48That is true.
01:49What about that?
01:50Entirely possible.
01:50What about that?
01:51But did you tell me he got a day off yesterday?
01:52Come on, man.
01:53I do like that.
01:53Come on, man.
01:55Alex Van Pelt, the quarterback coach, did say, he was like,
01:58the competition begins when Michael Penix gets back.
02:00And that's what I was looking on this cut sheet.
02:02I was looking at the cut sheet.
02:04I was like, oh, because I saw the tweet of him saying that.
02:07It's like, yeah, it's not a competition.
02:09Not yet.
02:10Not yet.
02:11It's not.
02:11And it might not be a competition until August, maybe.
02:14Because we don't know when Michael's going to be cleared.
02:16Yeah.
02:17They also did say they want to decide with a couple weeks left in training camp.
02:20That makes sense.
02:21If it doesn't start until training camp starts,
02:23and they want it to be done by then,
02:25the competition's only going to last two weeks.
02:28Exactly.
02:28Because we don't even know if Michael's going to be cleared.
02:31And if Michael's not cleared, then there is no competition.
02:33There is none.
02:34There's none.
02:35And so, I mean, the reckless speculation of the,
02:38is he going to be in 11-on-11?
02:39Now, if he does 11-on-11 next week in minicamp,
02:43it still means nothing.
02:45Yes.
02:46It still means nothing.
02:47Correct.
02:47Yes.
02:48To you.
02:51And to me.
02:52And certainly to them.
02:54Although it would be, you know, fine.
02:55I guess it was like a little mile marker checked off
02:57that he was able to do a little bit more.
02:59But if he doesn't,
03:00it doesn't mean that he is not going to be ready for the competition.
03:03It does not mean.
03:03If he does,
03:04it doesn't mean that he's going to be ready for the competition.
03:06Because it's different from being cleared to go in there with full pads.
03:09I know they don't tackle the quarterback,
03:11but it's different.
03:12The speed and tempo is a lot different.
03:15It's true.
03:16But this is what the summer is.
03:20This is where we're at.
03:21Every single quote,
03:22every single thing,
03:23it's all going to be...
03:25That's why I don't know if you were here when I asked Joe this or not.
03:27I was like,
03:28Joe,
03:28is this competition going to be fun to cover,
03:31or is it going to suck?
03:32And Joe,
03:33you know,
03:33Joe's a media guy.
03:34Joe's like,
03:34this is going to be great.
03:35This is going to be the best thing ever.
03:36And I was like,
03:36ah,
03:36yeah,
03:37it's going to suck.
03:37No,
03:37it's not.
03:38Quarterback competitions suck in the NFL.
03:41They suck.
03:41All right.
03:41They really,
03:42really do because all you're sitting there doing is counting reps and who went with who
03:45and how many times the ball was on the ground and all this.
03:48And it means you don't know who your quarterback is.
03:50Most important.
03:51If you have a quarterback competition in the NFL,
03:54you probably don't have a good quarterback.
03:56And maybe they'll end up being a really good quarterback in this situation,
03:59but yeah,
04:00no one wants quarterback competition.
04:01Nobody wants that crap.
04:02I got a question because I know we were talking about the Miles Garrett thing yesterday,
04:06right?
04:06Yeah.
04:07Did Jared first just Debo that man's jersey?
04:09I think so.
04:11Wow.
04:11That's what it seems like he did.
04:13Damn.
04:13Yeah.
04:13He just started wearing number eight in practice and that's Dylan Gabriel's number.
04:17I know.
04:17When I saw the eight.
04:18At least it was.
04:19Correction.
04:19When I saw the clip of him wearing eight,
04:23I was like,
04:23hold on.
04:24Did Dylan Gabriel already give his jersey up?
04:26And I was like,
04:28No.
04:29No.
04:29He came and took that man's jersey.
04:31Did you see Dylan Gabriel's comment on it?
04:33No.
04:34Oh,
04:34it was kind of sad.
04:36Oh,
04:36what?
04:36Yeah.
04:36He got,
04:37he got punked.
04:38Oh,
04:38he got straight punked.
04:39He's like,
04:39I guess that's his now.
04:41No,
04:42he didn't.
04:42Pretty much.
04:44Yeah.
04:46I mean,
04:47you know,
04:48probably a nicer way to go about it,
04:49but at the end of the day,
04:51it's third string quarterback.
04:52Yeah.
04:53He might not even be on the team.
04:54Yeah.
04:54I'm going to go ahead and get ahead of this thing.
04:56And number eight's mine.
04:58Yeah.
04:58I wanted to be gay.
04:59And it looked like he probably didn't give no money for it.
05:01Like it's money.
05:02It's money.
05:03Pretty clearly.
05:04He didn't give any money for it.
05:06My number punk.
05:07Well,
05:08I think Jared versus probably in a little bit of a bad mood,
05:10just having been traded from a Superbowl contender.
05:14So,
05:15you know,
05:15anybody standing in his way,
05:17and maybe that's good news for the Browns.
05:18Maybe he's going to be doing that to,
05:19to tackles all season in the way to the quarterback.
05:22But yeah,
05:22I don't think he was pretty grumpy.
05:24I think upon arrival in Cleveland,
05:26I don't think he was going to be like,
05:28cool.
05:29Yeah.
05:31And he gets to save like 30,
05:33probably about 25 more percent of his money.
05:35And I'm sure that's nice too,
05:37but he did play for the Rams who had a chance to win the Superbowl.
05:40And now he plays for the Browns who've never been to one.
05:43So yeah,
05:43I'm going to take some of my aggression out on the third string quarterback.
05:46I did see that.
05:46Like the,
05:47the inverse of that,
05:48Randy was the core,
05:49slate of like miles Garrett's contracts,
05:51the same amount of money,
05:52which really means he took a pay cut because of the California taxes,
05:56which is true,
05:57which is damn true.
05:58But on the plus side,
06:00now he plays for a team that has a chance to win the Superbowl and not the
06:04Browns.
06:04Yeah.
06:05And he lives in Los Angeles and not Cleveland.
06:07Most important.
06:08I've never been to Cleveland.
06:09So I know Abe,
06:10Abe's very protective of Cleveland.
06:12Nice shakes.
06:13Really?
06:13Nice shakes.
06:15Huh?
06:15All right.
06:15Yeah.
06:16I wouldn't have expected that.
06:17Yep.
06:17Um,
06:18you had to go to that,
06:19to that side.
06:20You got to know where you're going.
06:22Yeah.
06:22game four of the Stanley cup finals tonight,
06:24uh,
06:24Vegas versus Carolina hurricanes.
06:26This series.
06:27I know we don't talk a ton of hockey.
06:28I don't,
06:28this series has been incredible.
06:29I don't,
06:29I mean,
06:30I love the NBA playoffs.
06:31There's no better series in sports than hockey.
06:33No,
06:34that's hockey.
06:34Cause they're all,
06:35it always seemed like when they're going for the Stanley cup,
06:37all the games are like this.
06:38They're all like,
06:39they're all like this.
06:39The series tend to go six or seven.
06:42Not always,
06:42but they tend to.
06:44Um,
06:44and this one's been completely insane.
06:46I mean,
06:46the first game was five,
06:48four.
06:48The second game was overtime.
06:49And the third game,
06:50Carolina's down for nothing.
06:51They score four goals to get back double overtime and end up losing.
06:55Um,
06:55yeah.
06:56Remember how Luke Jackson used to give my father-in-law heart palpitations?
06:59Yes.
06:59He's a diehard Carolina Panthers fan.
07:01Oh,
07:02I know Jim.
07:02I'm praying for him.
07:03Yeah.
07:05Praying for him.
07:05Jim ain't got to go to it.
07:06Jim ain't,
07:06Jim just sit on sitting with his lazy boy.
07:08Yeah.
07:09And just losing his damn mind.
07:10I think he has to take his heart monitor off while he watches the games.
07:13Otherwise,
07:14Julie will change the channel.
07:17They'll be watching,
07:18uh,
07:19what do they watch?
07:20They watch like those,
07:21you ever see those YouTube,
07:23like,
07:24screens of like peaceful beaches?
07:26No.
07:26With,
07:27uh,
07:27calm music behind it?
07:28No.
07:28They watch a lot of those.
07:29Just sit there watching?
07:31Yeah.
07:31I mean,
07:31I'll pretend you're at the beach.
07:32You know,
07:33I love the beach.
07:33You know me.
07:34You know,
07:35being at the beach.
07:35Yeah.
07:36They like to do that.
07:37Huh.
07:37Calm.
07:38I think it's great.
