  1. This might’ve been the most entertaining episode I’ve watched so far! What a professional and awesome organization.

    Loved hearing the background behind the operations.

  5. I wonder if other teams put in the level of effort that our equipment team does. It was really cool to hear the amount of effort they put in and you can tell they really care.

  9. I love that John is bringing on other staff that may not be sought-after names or people that are generally thought of as big names for the show. I appreciate hearing from some of the folks that have been in the building and part of the org forever. Pretty cool and totally John.

  13. JS had to be talking either about T.Micmillan, Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart in regards to the carrying the bag comment. They were only 30 visits who went in 1st rd. My money is it was Stewart

  15. Love John bringing all the staffers in, giving them a little spotlight. this is great.. I think its a great way to highlight the value of all these people as we transition to new ownership! kinda saying, hey new boss, this matters and we better keep stuff the way it is because we have some of the best in the league!

  16. ❤Math says next Weds & day 2 are gr8 days to trade away R1 & Milroe. Cuz Jalen aint playing until his 2nd deal in 2028 (if Sam exits).

    Best value is day 2 this year. Its a shallower draft but hidden unpolished gold nuggets can still be found on day 2. Similar to K9, Charbz, Bobby Wagner, Nick E, DK Mercalf, etc.

    Keep praying Dark-Siders cuz it worked beautifully last season.

    Keep the brotherhood united via sweet prayers & brotherly love, & Lord will send angels to help u win more rings.

    Past 2 decades belonged to top 3 titan HC's Belichik, Reid, Carroll.

    Next 20 yrs belong to Mike Mac = Belichik 2.0,

    McVey = Reid 2.0,

    Shanahan = Bud Grant 2.0

    Sammy D = Plunkett & Eli hybrid

    Puca = Gronk 2.0

    Purdey = Jim Kelly 2.0

    Its gonna be so cool being a 12 during next two decades. Hopefully Sammy D & JSN & Spoon & Nick E & the Trenchers (OL & DL) keep signing win win deals to keep the good times rolling.

    We dont want a repeat of the me me me sad decade after SB49.

  22. It's a stretch to say that EK couldn't do your job. He definitely cares. He's invested. The journalists should probably have a pay cut. They're ready to lick like a pomeranian. They could've asked EK about the vast ocean of time and they players he knew. Because they dont care, or they do care, but in the way of a Pomeranian
