I feel like, you know, it defines me as a person. I'm a hard worker, dedicated. I'm gold driven. Just having that on a dog mentality it made me who I am.

2:01New Bill's defensive back, D. Alfred, late of Atlanta, he is one of two defensive free agent signings. The bills have made that we know of. Correct. Bradley Chubb is the other. Alfred had a sack and an interception for the Falcons in their win last season over the bills. That probably helped him. I'll bet it did. Can't beat him, get him to join you. Yes, exactly. That's not the same. That's Patrick Henry. That's not how it goes. That's a famous Patrick Henry quote. You see the card of the day today, my Ovechkin card? I did see your card of the day, I'm proud of you for putting Ovechkin up there. You had some, you seemed hesitant to rep a Washington player yesterday when you brought it up. They're playing the sabers.

3:01I don't know, should I? Yeah, put it up there. My favorite and least favorite thing about my collection is how kind of scatter shot it is. I mean, I bought and bought and bought in the hobby days just like always looking for something else. I mean, a lot of it was irresponsible. It's Charles Barkley with Wayfair.

Some of it was really good. It was the best. And just completely lost my mind as a buyer, as a collector, way outside my means. And then I sold a lot of it

5:02to help buy our house. And that includes that famous Robinson card that Jackie Robinson card that you are responsible for. I blame you for that, but it still turned out all right. I was showing Bulldog how the auction sites work and I just put a token bid in on Robinson on this one auction site because there's no way this bid will win. There's a 30-day auction this is day one. You sort of put a bid in. And it won for like eight grand. And I went home from here one night after that was finalized. Easy for me to laugh. And that was great for me. Because there was a buffer. She was the buffer. Okay. It could have been the other way, I guess, but I announced to my wife and her mother that I had bought a baseball card for more than $8,000, which I did not have. Right? But I eventually sold it at a profit. You make these choices during COVID the thing added to zero.

6:02And I had already sold it. That would have been sold for a quarter million dollars. The same card during COVID. That would have been better. Holy crap. That would have paid four of the house. Well, still, the fact that you set it the way you set it and you're being, you know, self-critical here, beyond your means, you shouldn't have done some of the stuff but you sold a bunch of it to help pay for the house. That's the field good in the end. No, it did. For sure. I'm going to pick at it and sell and, you know, take some money out of it. The card that I tweeted today is one of those cards that I would have opened into the Ovechkin card in 2006, five or six, whatever, when he was a rookie. And got graded because that's another thing we did. And I'm just looking today and that card is way more expensive than I thought. Really? Yeah. It's not autographed or anything but it's pretty good. No idea.

7:02One friend tweeted to me about having a strategy for the card. I'm like, I don't think I need that but I didn't realize what it was. Maybe you should have a strategy for it. I need one now. Yeah. All right. Well, that's good. That's good. All the better that you tweeted the card today because you found that out because you tweeted it? I guess, yeah. I mean, I could have looked it up. Just randomly. Yeah. Thinking of Ovechkin. Yeah. But I have a jersey too and there's a rookie that I probably should frame and sell with the card. Yeah, I should. Together. Strike now. Last year would have been the time to do it. This feels very much like a nice piece you would see at a golf tournament this summer. In the auction area of the like the framed Ovechkin jersey with a rookie card. Oh, baby. I mean, it's a big tournament. It'd be pretty hot. You're right. Here's Rich with us. Hello. Gentlemen, good evening. Hi, Rich. Hey, guys. At a conversation yesterday with my daughter

8:03who works at KeyBank Center in concessions. And she said it's been wild. But she made a funny remark. How would you feel if you had season tickets for X number of years? Got set up. Didn't renew for this year. Do you feel like you really missed out? That's me. That's probably heard me. It was for the show, right? That's literally me. And my second comment is I'm going to find by the way. That's good. My second comment is regarding your show yesterday if the NFL does have the Wednesday night game before Thanksgiving. What if both the bills and sabers are playing well and they both play that night? Of course, of course, it's the bills. It's November. I would say so. I would say so too because obviously there's more saber games.

9:03Would you guys flip flop or just cast a trade on the bill? Well, I would want to try to keep tabs on both games and you can do that. I might even watch the hockey game on my iPad but the football game would take precedence because it's one of 17. Oh, I don't like how easily that came out. How was it close? I wanted to be a more of a struggle to say 17. Instead of 16. But anyway, one of 17 versus one of 82. Yes, it's not close at all. How was it even close? If the Super Bowl and Game 7 and the Stanley Cup Finals were around the same night, what would you do? I don't know. Maybe that's worth thinking about. I was like close. Game 15 of the hockey season. I'll be fine without it. I am the person you're talking. I don't know if he knows that or what. But I feel fine about it. It's a long dreadful term for me. And other people enjoy it more and I'm not here to make you feel bad about that or anything. I know for me, as I've said many times, I really don't want to say it again now

10:03because it's not the season for it. The Sabers are hot and wants to come down from that. But I got really frustrated with the lack of fun I was having and how much it costs. It's really all there is. And why am I doing this? And I always, my reason for hanging in there as long as I did was the boys, like the group. And I know my kids might want to go to a couple of games, or my wife would, and that was enough. I had my name on it. I was proud of it for hanging in there as long as it did. And I wanted to just not quit. Because you feel bad when you quit. And I got to a point where I just felt like I had no other choice because money's tight. And spending four or five grand on hockey. Ten hockey games. It's not enjoyable at all. It isn't fun. Now it's obviously really fun. But I'm not jealous really. I'll go to a couple more games.

11:04I've got three games left, actually, through different means. And I'm just excited about all of it. I don't feel like I need to be in there. I don't have anything on the horizon at all. I have no tickets. I have nothing set up waiting. I thought about doing this tonight. But I'm not going to. Maybe Saturday. I haven't used my press pass in many years. But I do have one this year. And I think Saturday. I don't know what my wife is doing. I'm not even sure if she's working or not. Whatever. I may just roll down there Saturday. Or any one of these nights here between now and the end of the year. And just, you know, hang out in the press box with Paul and my kid. Yes. Not only tickets. Zach and whoever else. Sometimes there's a whole posse of WGR people down there. But because I want to see it, right? I want to feel it. And that's why I know I'm not doing tonight. Tonight would really be perfect.

12:04But I just can't swing it. Saturday isn't the full, like if I'm right. I feel, you know, six or eight thousand leaf fans in the building. That's not. I've seen that. I've seen that ten times over. I want to get in there on a night when it's, you know, obviously you can't know how it's going to turn out. I wish I'd gone on Sunday, but I didn't feel good. Anyway, tonight would be good. Tonight would be good. Just to get the whole flavor of the thing. Like the buzz, the walking in, the feel, the passion being back. I want to get, I want to plug into that at some point. Luke and in for Buffalo tonight is the expectation first game since Sundays. Incredible win over Tampa gave up seven and still got the win. I wonder if that's a first in his life. Lindgren expected for Washington, but I don't know for sure. They played last night. Thompson played last night the other guy. The number one. So I would expect that you'll get Lindgren tonight. So you're getting Washington in a bit of a down season and stretch off of a back on a back to back.

13:04And they lost four to one last night, which is probably pretty disperting. I looked earlier. Sabers remind us to 18 to win. Same as Tampa tonight against Detroit. Not the biggest favorites in the league. There are a lot of games. Av is maybe also Utah or Minnesota, Minnesota. You like them. I think Minnesota is, is hot. Yes, with Quinn Hughes there now and Capra's off. And the goal tending is really good. They get a nice, they get a nice team. Pre-game with Paul Hamilton 20 minutes away.
