3:05James Harrison:Speaking of betting, I see that the NFL PA report cards. The NFL, they won and it ruled that the NFL PA cannot publicize the team report cards. J.J. Watt said the NFL won't let actual players grade the workplace they attend every single day, but will allow the third party grading service to display their rankings of players on national TV every Sunday night. How you feel about this, bro?

3:39Joe Haden:That's what I'm saying. J.J. speaking facts. We getting our pro football focus grade every week that looks trash like 30. I'm like, man, get the pro football focus ranking out of there. And then for this, the actual players, we were doing a good job. I think we're being blatantly honest. Like the Browns, facilities, nice, good. Like, I'm like, dang, this is really nice. College football is just crushing the NFL and all their facilities and all of that stuff because they know that the recruiting, they have to do that. Pittsburgh facilities, trash. But when I went there, I wasn't mad. I was like, it is what it is.

4:17Joe Haden:We winning. We understand the main thing is the main thing. You got the hot tubs. You got a daggone cafeteria. You got a weight room. And you got fields. So you got what we have, what we need. We got meeting rooms. We got what we need. But it looks trapped in here. You know what I'm saying? So when you're at Florida, when you go to these high spaces, like, we're going to keep it honest. Like, when I went there, it was something like, oh, no, it's not that. It gets it done. But when you go to Cleveland, when you go to Vegas, the new stuff, they know that's what you make so much money there that you want to take care.

4:49Joe Haden:You got to be able to take care of your. Hold up, man.

4:52James Harrison:Cleveland got a C plus, bro.

4:54Joe Haden:I'm going to tell you this. Look, look, look, look, look, look, look. Slow your road. Maybe not everything, but I'm saying the facilities was cool. Please show these grades. Please show these grades.

5:02James Harrison:Yes. Y 'all got a. Dolphins got an A plus, though. I want to see their facility. Eight Dolphins, Chargers, Falcons. Hey, I've been the Steelers and the Patriots, though, for real. Yeah, that's great. I ain't gonna lie, they correct. They correct. They correct. Like, the Bengals, unless they did something new, I don't know how they got a C. I thought they was being lower than the C. Yeah, I don't know how they got a C, bro, because they was below Steelers when I was there, unless they did something new since 13.

5:32Joe Haden:I think you should let the players go in there and give their honest grades, because you in there. You in the spots, you see what it is. And I don't think a lot of the players, we're not being, like, I don't think overly, like, bougie. You know what I'm saying? Just trying to get. They just don't want their dirty laundry. They don't want their dirty laundry out there. They don't want their stuff out there they're not spending the money on and making it as good as they could, as good as they can.

5:57James Harrison:Yeah, but I think if it's not out there, like you said, last time they came out, people adjusted their facilities because they didn't want to be the people at the bottom of facilities. And when it come down to it, it's not that only one person can get an A or only one person can get a B. Yo, raise your facilities up and you will be able to get, you know what I'm saying? You will be able to get a better grade. When it come down to it, when you go from the college, like big D ones, and you get into the NFL, them boys be so sick when they get there. I'll be like, yeah, this ain't the same thing, brother.

6:41James Harrison:They couldn't sniff.

6:44Joe Haden:Florida Gators facilities, when I was there, was crazy. And since I went back, I'm like, oh, it's an amusement park. They got whatever you need there. You know what I'm saying? Pools. Like, I'm talking about not just lap pools. Real pools with cabanas that you come there and kick it. I'm like, how do you have this at the facility? A pool that you come and kick it with? You bring the homies to the pool at the facility? This is crazy. Anything, food, steaks, everything is top-notch anytime you want it, like, for free. So college, they do a great job of that recruiting. They're putting money into it because they know, like, you're going to get in what you put out.

7:22Joe Haden:You're going to get the best players to come. NFL, you're going to go play where you're at regardless, but free agents and all that, it's not a bad gig now. Like, I want to go somewhere where it's nice.

7:35James Harrison:Right. Everybody want to go somewhere where it's nice, Joe. You got to realize something. You want to win, too. See, that's the crazy part. For me, it wasn't that big. You want to win, though.

7:44Joe Haden:But at the same time, when you think about the owners, they like this. What would it matter? I'm trying to win. They got the facilities. You have weights there. They're weights. They might not be brand new, but they're weights. You got the little jumps there. So, like, that's where, with the owners, you're looking at them like, man, what is it really about? Is it a fashion show? You want me to just put the money into this?

8:08James Harrison:Well, when it comes down to it, like, they got a revolving door of players coming and going. So it's not like you got to go and compete with another school to have the better facilities so that when they come on a visit, they be like, you know what? I want to come here because I see this going on over here, you know? and that's something that the NFLPA really needs to have part in. You got Cam Jordan, and he said, bruh, a third of the time I get upset at the NFL. I remind myself a majority of the players accepted or didn't vote during the last CBA after we had a resounding no vote in the preliminary voting for the NFLPA.

8:56So what he's talking about is the system of how the NFL PA worked when they went through their process. So this is the problem.

9:07James Harrison:So I think it's, what was it? Matter of fact, I'm going to show a clip. The 2026 NFL PA Super Bowl press conference, okay? Okay. Nobody wrote about it. Nobody talked about it. You ain't hearing nothing about it. But what you're talking about here is Jalen Reeves, maybe. And in 21, he was a player rep. And then in 24, he became the president of the Players Association of the NFLPA after being voted in by the NFLPA executive committee in 2022. But listen to this, though. there was some differing opinions about whether there was too much confidentiality if the players didn't have enough information leading up to it.

9:57James Harrison:How do you balance keeping things private, but also making sure your guys are better informed this time around so they can make a better decision with the election? Where would you say those opinions were coming from? Players. Okay. Yeah. I think that I was a part of the process last time. And I think that, you know, there was a lot of updates given to the leadership and the membership representation. Like I said, there's 2 ,000 members of, we have 2 ,000 members and, you know, we're not, we're not broadcasting information to 2 ,000 members every time about what's going on. But, you know, we keep the leadership and the devoted board reps abreast of what's going on.

10:36James Harrison:And this year, you know, we've tried to do that to an even deeper level and, you know, provided probably about monthly updates. Everyone was, not everyone, but a lot of players, former players, staff members were kind of surveyed and interviewed and polled

10:54Joe Haden:before this process kicked off to really see what everyone's looking for, especially the players. What do they want to see in the next executive director? And I think we've done a good job engaging

11:04James Harrison:and being responsible to our players. Now, after this process, will everyone be happy? Maybe not. Will everyone felt like they were heard? Maybe not. But for myself and for the executive committee, I know that we put in the work and been thorough and kept integrity to the highest with this process as well as the last process. So, you know, that's where we stand on. And, you know, as long as we come out of that room knowing that we did right by our membership, that's, you know, that's kind of our, that's our ring. We got that and we're all good.

11:42James Harrison:Joe, that is not even the clip that I want to play, but let's go through the process of that. Get your shit together. People, I'm talking to y 'all. I'm not talking to anybody but the people that's in the background of our screens right now. Get your shit together. Oh. What you need to do? Let's go. Go ahead. Here's the issue, man. What's the issue? There's no transparency in the process, okay? Mm-hmm. The NFL executive committee themselves is what Cam is talking about, Cam Jordan. The committee didn't even make a recommendation, meaning they didn't even vote. Okay? The process is not transparent.

12:29James Harrison:Nobody knows what is going on. And he's okay with, you know, how the process is going, who said this who said that like we've been saying this forever all right and that's the the part that's a a larger issue with the nflpa is the nflpa now is ran by 32 representatives okay who represent almost what 2 000 something players or more actually when it comes time for the voting It's almost 3 ,000 players when it comes time for the voting, okay? But more importantly, it's the 11 executive committee members who are guys like Maben, Hennessy. It's a whole list of them. Cam Hayward is actually one of them.

13:24James Harrison:Cam's one. Yes, yes. He's actually a rep and an executive committee member, okay? he's also uh uh what's his name calais campbell he's another one of them it's 32 of these guys okay okay and these 32 guys represent the vote so when we originally voted the 32 reps would come to us and then they would say okay what are you guys votes we will vote and then that would go like that but now it is made that it goes to the 32 reps and they vote and there is no overhead of who did what who voted to what it's not even brought to the players anymore it's the reps now add that on top of the 11 executive committee members actually make the decision of who gets to be put in as a possibility to be a executive director.

14:28James Harrison:Now, all of that was changed in, after 2011, when D Smith almost lost, because he barely won, he changed the rules so that he could keep position and power, okay? Because it's going to be easier to control 32 than it is to control 2 or 3 ,000. And then in that 32, he only needs 17. Okay?

14:56Joe Haden:I've got a question. What's the difference? Okay, we got 32, then we got 11. Does 11 people switch at all or do they stay?

15:07James Harrison:The 11, I believe, can switch or may have to switch at times depending on how long they've played or not played. But of that, I don't go lie. I'm not actually 100 % sure, but I know right now, Jalen Reeves-Maben, he is the president right now of that organization. Okay? Okay. You don't even know who the hell he is.

15:30Joe Haden:No.

15:31James Harrison:You've never heard of him. No. He was voted in by the 11 executive committee members that make those rulings. Like, no player voted him in. Now, here's the bigger issue. No players get to vote. It's just the 32. Now, the bigger issue is the 11. They bring the executive directors that get approved. They send them to an outside source, now a third party. They get approved by this third party.

16:04Joe Haden:Running a business is hard enough. So why make it harder with a dozen different apps that don't talk to each other? One for sales, another for inventory, a separate one for accounting.

And more, how can we help? less confusion and more clarity. It's things like tapping your phone to use your TD card and getting your paycheck two business days early.

19:10Joe Haden:It's getting more of what you want and less of what you don't. That's how TDs making banking more human.

19:19James Harrison:They then send them back to the executive committee. Now the executive committee can pick who it is that they actually want to put in front of the 32 player reps that represent the teams. They never actually go to the players anymore. When we did it in 2011, it went to the players. D. Smith almost lost. He says, you know what? Let me change this. Here's another issue. It's always done in the preseason. Why is it done in the preseason? You got a whole almost 90 players on each side. The dudes is not really going to be there anyway. The dudes is not going to be there. So you got 3 ,000 players voting for something that only 1 ,700 of them will actually be there on the roster.

20:05James Harrison:And of that 1 ,700 of that group, Joe, only about 700 of them are actually vested into the CBA program because what? Just three and a half years, four years? Four years, four games before you're vested. So the NFLPA needs to set a standard that you cannot vote on the CBA if you aren't vested. Unless you're vested. That'll make everything a lot easier. The NFL knows this damn well as well as just the NFLPA, but they're not going to change it because half of these cats in the NFLPA are fighting to get a job either in the NFLPA or transition over to the NFL. all right and you got young players coming in and you're telling me they first year they're going to vote to not approve it hell no they not and on top of that money management skills for a first second year player are horrible like so it's going to be people who are going to vote for that yeah but they can't hold out no question at that same time they say you know what we still go take that away and now they gave it to the 32 members now if you go and you want to see who they voted for you can't see it because there's no public record but you could ask a rep who he voted for he could also lie to you and tell you he voted for somebody that he didn't vote for so there is no transparency anywhere in this process if the nfl pa really wants to do what's best for their players and make real change, this is what needs to be done.

21:46James Harrison:You have to only let vested players vote, people who are into the program. That's like me letting my son go and vote on something that has no bearing on what happens to him. And like you said, the average NFL career is what, three and a half years? Three and a half years. Most of these dudes aren't even going to make it there. But they need them to get some of this stuff to pass. So with the nomination committee being the people who actually, I mean, sorry, with the executive committee being the people who actually nominate the executive directors, I'll be looking for my nomination for executive director of the NFLPA, like Cam Hayward, who is a committee member and a rep.

22:34James Harrison:And I also talked to Calais Campbell. We had a conversation. So I'll be looking forward to my nomination to be on the ballot to be executive director of the NFLP. I thank you guys in advance. OK, oh, the March meetings is coming up. And it was actually no update on the timeline of that at the Super Bowl either. But, you know, Mabin is doing such a great job and, you know, he's doing so much and he feels like he's, you know, he's doing what's necessary and giving the guys what they want. I don't feel like that's the case. I feel like you're doing a bum job of being the president. I feel like just like hell, you did a bum job.

23:17James Harrison:You're still doing a bum job of being a player.

23:21Joe Haden:Debo, I think some of the smartest things you said, though, was the vested players need to be the ones to vote. The players not even being able to vote now with the 32, we got to get that back. And then all these executive committees and all that, We got to keep that open because if it's for the players and it's for what's best for the players, you got to let us see what's going on. And there needs to be not no other little we pick this and then a small little group ends up decides what it really is. We don't even get to pick no more as the players. I understand. That's it. So you may say. They don't even bring it to the players.

23:55Joe Haden:Listen, best of players, like you said, we got to bring it to the players. That got to come back. And then also you going through the right steps and making sure like with Cam Hayward, with Calais, you need to be up and nominated. They need to be able to see like, since you're going through the steps, put them up there and then let's see, be able to get the votes. Because like, it just doesn't make any sense. It's too much little hidden stuff happening in the cut where it's like, no, this is if it's for the players, if it's for the best, then we need to put people that are promoting the best for the players and really going to get in here and be at y 'all's next.

24:28Joe Haden:Like you're fighting for the players. And the thing, too, the vested players, when they can get in and they know a lot of these dudes, like you said, the young dudes, the first ones that are in, not good with the money. They like, man, I don't care what y 'all talking about. Like, I'm just trying to play. I need that check. Like, whatever we got to do to make sure I'm playing when the season comes, as I'm trying to do, the people that are in it a little bit longer are already trying to, more thinking ahead, can better the game. I might be able to take this whole, this little setback right here because it's going to be better for the future, better for the upcoming of the game.

25:01Joe Haden:So once you eliminate those votes of the non-invested players, I'm with you that I think real, real change will happen. And then just more openness of showing us all these other executive branches and all these little committees inside of the NFLPA is crazy. It doesn't need to be that difficult. We need to be able to be open. And like, that's why you guys are here to protect us and we need to be able to vote and all that stuff. That's just, it gets gray. And it gets like, that's when you know. It's not gray. It's simple black and white.

25:33James Harrison:Black and white. Yes, yes. It's janky. It's very easy to see and self-explanatory. You worried about player safety. Everything is player safety, player safety. But you want to add another game. You want to go to 18. I told them when the player safety thing first started, I said they want to get 17 games. Then found out they wanted to get 18. I said the whole process is to get to 18 games. And where are we at right now? The big negotiation now is 18 games. We're negotiating a contract right now that's not up to, what, 20? Oh, sorry. What is it? 30, 28, 29, something, 30? It's not even up to them.

26:07James Harrison:But they're in negotiations right now to try and get that done. Because they know that everybody, and I won't say everybody, But a majority of the people in the NFLPA are not there for the players. They're there for themselves. That's it, bro. There's no way around it. There's no sugarcoating it. You just sat there and listened to the president give a, who said that? What you mean, who said? What are you talking about, bro? You should already know that. Like, what is he? Like, come on.

26:44Joe Haden:Didn't look real presidential.

26:46James Harrison:It never did. I went to the one, not this year, last year. I went to that one, and I'm sitting there, and that was when they had, what's his name? I can't think of his name right now. They got rid of him. Lloyd Howe. Okay. And I'm like, yo, who is this? Why is this dude even up here? And he's like, I ain't going to say what he said. But basically, that wasn't supposed to be long-term. Okay? And then they promote this dude to president in, what was it, 24th. Stop it. Executive, stop it. Get out of here, bro. Get out of here, man. Open it up. They wildin'. And here's the crazy thing, bro. And they're using the same process that they're questioning.

27:37James Harrison:Like, he's questioning, do the players trust you? Do they believe you? That's what the question was. Oh, yeah. No. change the process because they don't they're saying it i believe that we're working hard who gives a damn what you believe it ain't working hard it ain't working you're not even transparent with your process i don't even know march meeting is supposed to be whenever they ain't even said if that's gonna happen they even said what's going on with the process of of of electing people to actually be able to run for the executive director for of the nflpa it's like The interim on the stage don't even know.

28:15James Harrison:The guy that's acting this interim right now don't even know. Come on, bruh. We sound French and don't know shit.

28:24Joe Haden:Yeah. He looked a little foggy. Yes, he didn't look a little foggy. He looked very foggy.

28:29James Harrison:That look bad as their All-Star dunk game, Joe.

28:31Joe Haden:Oh, my God. How the... My man got there, James. He went up there, man, off the side of the backboard and hit his back, hit his back of his head. I was so glad he had his bush. Yeah, that was not entertaining. The dunk contest was a little off. I just want all the best dunkers in it. Zion, get in the dunk contest. Like, when we had my man that played for the— Michael Jordan and, you know, Dominique. Michael Jordan, obviously, but even Zach Levine.

29:03James Harrison:You know, I spun a web on that thing. Even Zach Levine, though, not too long ago, but we had Zach Levine.

29:08Joe Haden:And then we just had McClung. McClung was saving us from the G League. I think we just need to get the best talent. We need to get our jumpers, our Ja Morant. Ja Morant, Anthony Edwards, Zion Wilmerson. Y 'all get in it and the dunk contest will be back cranked. But let me talk about the all-star game. How about that, though, Deebo? I thought the thing about the NBA, though, bro, is the reason why I didn't like the past previous joints, they wasn't really playing hard. All the NBA players got to do, because it's not football. It's not like you can just, you don't got to run tackling, try to like blitz hit them low.

29:43Joe Haden:No, you're playing good, solid defense. You're not like fouling OC. You're playing hard. So you're not just giving away. You're not just opening up the lane. You're not just letting people drive by you. I love the way they started off. Wimby, hot, trying to dunk on people, pinning people's shot on the backboard. Like, no, like I'm out here to go ball. And it was, it was, they did it. So it was World Debo where they had like all like the, did you watch the All-Star game? I ain't watching, brother. All right, look, I'm about to tell you. I'm about to break it down. They did it actually five. Where did you go for me?

30:13Joe Haden:They did three teams, Debo. They did a world team where all are like Luka, Joker, Wimby, everybody from overseas. They did a stripes team, which was the OGs, Braun, KD, Curry. And then they did a stars team, which is the young all-stars, Anthony Edwards, you know what I'm saying, and them. So they set it up dope. And the first game was the young stars versus the world. and it was like a round robin game. Everybody's going to play each other a little bit, depending on how much you win, depends on who goes to the final, the fourth quarter. And they do it 12-minute games. It's like one quarter. So you're going to get good bump for 12 minutes.

30:52Joe Haden:Y 'all have watched that, bro. I didn't know it was like that. Yes. So that joint, it was a new little structure that they did. So I ain't going to lie, Adam Silver, the NBA, he cooked with this one. He cooked with the format, but you know who really cooked? The players cooked. because if they weren't playing hard, if they weren't really like trying to play defense and it just was like a little layup game, everybody's laying, it just would have been boring. But the world versus the young all-stars, they start off Anthony Edwards going versus, Anthony Edwards is a G. He's a dog. He wants to whoop everyone no matter what.

31:23Joe Haden:He's a goon. That's what he does. He plays basketball and he's great at it. So him versus Wimby, Wimby, seven foot six, one of the freakiest people I've ever seen in the world. And he's from overseas and he's like, But he's feeling I'm the best player in the world too. So you get these young stars, bruh, that come and they're hungry. It's not like they're just trying to be too cool. No, I'm not too cool. I'm strapping up. I'm blocking you. And I'm trying to win this joint. So you get to really watch the best players go against the best players and really play. And that's what made the joint so good.

31:54Joe Haden:Braun and them came in there. They was playing. And everybody's trying to hoop. It got to the last game. So the world, we got them out the way. Who was we? Who is we? You keep saying we. We is Braun in the United States of America. So the old school. I am stars, and I'm old school. Okay. So when I say I'm Braun, for real, I wanted Braun to win. I wanted the old school stars to win.

32:17James Harrison:I got you, home team, home team, Akron, Ohio here.

32:20Joe Haden:We get to the finals, and Braun and them got to play against the young stars. They're tired. They go down 12 to 1. They got one quarter to play. It's the last one they've been playing. They got smacked. They got beat by 20. And T.A. was winning the championship. The guy take us on E. So, yeah, everything went as planned until the last game. The last game was the worst a little bit because they was tired, but they just didn't play. The Young Stars whooped their ass. So, All-Star game, though, fire, Debo. I just like the NBA because it's the players, and it's just a little bit harder NFL. I mean, Rashawn Taylor.

32:59James Harrison:You telling me, Joe, that the NBA got better and we went and flipped to a flag football team.

33:05Joe Haden:And we went and flipped to that. We went and flipped to flag football. But I look at it because I'm like, NBA, they don't have to hurt each other. But they just really got to play. We don't have to hurt each other now. In the NFL, we could go back to when Sean Taylor just hit high. Hit high in the chest and just don't be trying to die. You're a player's safety. Debo, Debo, but look, how you want to, how you, I'm safety first, everything, but look, the only way the Pro Bowl was nice was when you had the best going versus the best.

33:37James Harrison:Four quarter, Pro Bowl got nice. Now it's a change in money. It's a change in money. That's why it got, it got competitive. You know, all that. Oh, you got to stay inside these, these, these hashes and all that. No, somebody going to get bopped.

33:50Joe Haden:We playing, we playing flag, man. I think we could do some more. We need to bring back the cool games though from like the old school. If we're going to do the Pro Bowl games, we need to bring back, like, the fastest player. I know people would love to see who you think's the fastest. Tyreek, racing versus, you know what I'm saying? Bruh! The fastest player joint. Or the longest throw. The quarterback. Tyreek. Who could throw the ball the farthest. Listen, bruh. I miss those games.

34:13James Harrison:Listen to me, bruh. Speaking of Tyreek, we got some breaking news, bruh. your boy eight-time Pro Bowler receiver Tyreek Hill is being released on March 1st after he released my boy after he dislocated his knee and tore his ACL he would be an unstricted free agent for the first time in his career though how long he how long is he out dude he just did it What was that last game? Second to last game?

34:47Joe Haden:Yeah, so you're going to be out for the season. We're going to have to just let him get back together. Oh, he got a 32. 32.

34:58James Harrison:How long Tyreek been in there? Like 10? I want to say maybe nine. Nine or 10? Yeah, something like that. Nine or 10?

35:07Joe Haden:Okay, yeah, you're getting up there. Damn, man. Ah. Who you think going? But, yeah, he's 32. You know who's signing Tyreek. You know who's signing Tyreek. Who? A fire, fire team that is all – you can't be a young team. You can't be a young team. You can't be a team that's building. You just need a piece. You need a piece.

35:33James Harrison:It's going to be hard, bro. It's going to be hard. It's going to be hard. It's going to be hard, I think. Peace. Next year. Next year.

35:39Joe Haden:He ain't going to be ready. I would think. Not this season. The season at the next. That's a whole year out, yo. I don't know. Yeah, you right. You know? I'm just praying for the best. But you know how that is, Deebo. When you start getting to the end and then you just did that

35:56James Harrison:and you making that bag. Yeah, well, it ain't going to be that bag. You know what I'm saying? I don't see you getting that bag after that. You know how it be after you hit that 30 mark. They like, oh, yeah.

36:07Joe Haden:That's what I'm saying. It's going to be looking like that for him, too. So when I'm saying Tyreek coming back and people going to be not trying to offer him, he'll be like, ho, ho, ho, what's going on? He might be like, if he was playing for 30 and they offered him five, he's like, man, see, y 'all bugging out.

36:24James Harrison:I don't know. Maybe he up for a reunion with Mahomes over there. Man, that's what I'm saying.

36:30Joe Haden:He'll go there or New England. Go win the ship. Go show him that he's still, like, show him he's still that.

40:34James Harrison:Listen, listen, Joe. You know I got my theories.

40:37Joe Haden:It's a lot, man. It's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot of. It's cold out there. They're bundled. They're not chilling outside. There's a lot of snuggling up going on out there. There's a lot of, you know what I'm saying, cuddling up by the fire. There's a lot of friction. There's a lot of body heat. You got to stay cold. Yo, let me get into my theories, Joe. You got to stay warm. They got to stay warm.

40:53James Harrison:Get into my theories, Joe. Joe. All right, listen. Listen, this is not a new thing, although it is semi-new. I'm looking, and it's something that started. It's semi-new, semi-new. It started in 1988, okay? And I'm understanding they were promoting safe sets. And I think they were promoting safe sets because, again, I'm assuming they may have been some athletes coming home with less than desirable things.

41:36James Harrison:I'm just going to say, you know, maybe some athletes was coming home with STDs by the pound. Bowsers. Okay, by the pound. Lots. By the pound is crazy to say. I'm just saying. It was heavy. That's all I'm saying, Joe. Listen, this is the other me. I done went back. I had to revert back to get on the subject, Joe. I'm sorry about that, Lord. Thank you. All right. Peace. Listen, now, I think this is what happens now. They ain't had no prophylactics in sight. And they were probably taking chances. And you got young athletes at the prime of their career, from all over the world. Your body's in the best shape they've ever been in their life.

42:20James Harrison:All that built up energy. All that built up energy. All that make me warm. You know? People chill. Chill. Let me get to it.

42:34Joe Haden:Last one on that. I got one. It's my line for my man. Say. Because you don't want that latex. Safe sex, you better wear the latex because you don't want that latex. There we go.

42:52James Harrison:All right. I got you on that. Now, listen. Now, let me get back into my theory, Joe, okay? Okay. Now, you got these athletes in the best shape of their life, bodies like they never seen before. And they done went through their events. And they ain't got nothing else left to do, okay? And now you around all these, all these beautiful bodies. from all over the world. Best in the world, Craig. All over the world. And you don't, hey, you ain't never been, never been this, never been. If you never, you're there, you ain't never been. You're going to get that opportunity again, Joe. And it was taking chances.

43:26James Harrison:So in 1988, they said, hey, here you go. Go hard. Now, I know 10 ,000 condoms sound like a lot, but you're talking about young, young, young, strong. Built up. Jibo, stop changing your voice when you talking like that. You talking like that. Joe. Joe. Now, they knew, hey, 10 ,000? Sound like a lay. But look, go to Rio. Go to Rio by the CO. Two thousand. Brazil, De Janeiro? Rio. 400. Yes, Joe. 450 ,000 condoms. Hold up, Joe. That ain't it. They said just in case, here go 170 bottles of lube with it. Oh, my God. Hold up, Joe. Hold up, Joe. Now, let's go. Let's go to the other winner games. South Korea in 2018, Joe.

44:28James Harrison:They gave out 110 ,000 condoms in South Korea in 2018. They knew damn well 10 ,000 wasn't going to work in 2026. No. Y 'all knew what y 'all was doing.

But, I mean, all of them don't lead to us being like the best, like, you know what I'm saying? But I know the Steelers and the fans are ready to be not the best for maybe a year or two.
