[Assistant] I mean, I gotta make a living here. It's gonna sit for a while. I'll tell you what, I'll do 1400 bucks. 15, I'll do 15. I really like 14 better. How about 1480? I'll do 1450, that's the best I'm gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greatest basketball player of all time. You know, obviously being from Chicago, I'm watching him grow up and I was getting Michael Jordan's autograph when he was very young, all throughout his NBA career. There's really nobody at least better in my book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice paperwork right here from the Chicago Bulls. Okay. Looks like nice paperwork. I'm pretty familiar with this stuff. So, the one thing about Jordan though, and you're gonna have your concerns obviously, is heavily forged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heavily duplicated. Let's flip this around. I wanna take a look at it. Obviously, with something like this, it's gonna be a fiber tip marker that's gonna go on here, so I just wanna look at it and just get a better feel for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as I move along, the autograph is kinda seeped in here, and this is what you would expect with age, would kinda bleed into the fabric. So that's kind of a good point here. Now, the great characteristic about Jordan is that M. That's Michael, okay? And this is what I like to see, there's a slight tilt to it, but the flow, and he flows through. And we see this again with the J.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The J comes through and Jordan had this beautiful, flowing signature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's really only one Jordan. The stuff, Rick, is just hot. And it's hot everywhere. It doesn't matter if it's in Chicago, overseas, Puerto Rico. There's no one more popular, I still think, in the game of basketball than Jordan. So we've seen some crazy auction prices. But I would put this right at about $135,000. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shaq and Kobe are two of the most forged guys on planet Earth. First thing I'm gonna do is take a look with the Pro Scope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing I want to do is magnifier here and I'm going to take a look at the signatures and I want to make sure everything's live, not printed on here, which is important because this could be a mass produced piece as well. So this is the, the silver paint pen that was used. That's some pretty thick ink on there. Uhm, see how it kind of bleeds apart?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have live signatures on here. So that's a good thing. Next thing I want to do is take a look with my exemplars I have on file here. And the first guy I want to look at is Kobe Bryant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First thing I always look at with Kobe, the flourish on the K.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same thing with Shaq, you know, again, with these sports guys, they're all really sloppy, they're all signing so fast all the time, they wanna pound through it and get it done with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carl Malone. I look for him to do the mailman. Look for him to include the number. The last one I want to take a look at, Phil Jackson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, to me, kind of the key to the whole thing, because when I look at all these signatures as a whole, Phil Jackson's the guy that doesn't really make himself available. All he cares about is coaching. So it's kind of an added plus that he's actually on here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, uhm, the signatures match up with the examples pretty well. It's an authentic signed Lakers piece. Awesome. That's what I want to hear. Alright, well, put some value on it for me. Uhm, with kind of the players on it, who's on it, the head coach. You're talking about $500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a 1600. Share the world donation. Well see, that's another thing you have to look at. Stuff like that ends up going for more in charity options and stuff like that. This piece only has certain value because just to be honest with you, it's not on a basketball, it's on a backpack. If it's not on a basketball, $1500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people who collect autographs, especially team-themed items, they're not looking for a backpack. They're looking for a basketball that they could display.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jordan's pretty much the king of all basketball autographs, and he still is to this day. When people collect sports autographs, they want Michael Jordan in their collections. What are your concerns?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the guy's got a great story, but he's got absolutely no proof. Which should concern you. I mean, the one thing you have to remember about Michael Jordan, one of the most forged autographs in all of sports history. Let's go at it then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These look to be the baby Air Jordan 3s. They came out about 1988, 89. Want to compare the signatures to examples, kind of from the same time frame. The one thing I really look for is he has a nice little hitch here on his H. And I see examples here where Michael Jordan


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the OR transition, same thing Jordan does here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean after comparing everything, after looking at the examples,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is disappointing, to say the least. We have to remember that collectors really don't go out and look for baby ear Jordans. Collectors look for the full size shoes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is this? This is a jumpsuit with a matching vest and a pair of boots owned and worn by the godfather of soul, the hardest working man in show business, the late great James Brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] James Brown's an icon, and I've got something that no one else has.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a wardrobe bag with this in it. And he said, Mr. Brown wants you to have these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a picture of him wearing this particular jumpsuit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's important that an expert come in, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he has to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically confirmed what I thought the value to be. 2,500, you sell it for five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the $2,100 is going to come in really handy. And it's nice to know that I'm not going home empty handed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided to come to the pawn shop today to sell my Spalding Black Betsy bat. I'd like to sell it because I'm really not a sports memorabilia guy and I could use the money. I'm hoping to get $300 for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, make no mistake, this is not the bat Shoeless Joe Jackson used. This was a bat that you could go to the store and buy. This is a fan item. Some little kid, almost a hundred years ago, got this bat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he hung on to it. So where'd you get it? It was an old guy up the street from me was having a garage sale. This thing was in a pile of junk and it just kind of spoke to me. I picked it out and bought it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so. I think he was a real honest South Carolina factory worker who just got caught up with some bad vibes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much you want for it? Based on condition, 300.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm concerned about the questions he has. It never occurred to me that somebody would have faked this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The autograph's a little bit faded, but I think for a collector that it's a great piece to have. Today I'm hoping to get a thousand dollars for it. Now this is cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, from my buying and collecting of sports memorabilia, I'm pretty confident in the fact that it is a game issue jersey, 2LT. I'm gonna stick with my asking price of a thousand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got a 1999 St. Louis Rams Lombardi Trophy. Sweet. Original box and certificate of authenticity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, I just get lucky and find some cool stuff every now and then. Okay. Unless your luck has anything to do with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of players risked their bodies, their limbs to hoist this trophy. You could be in that small group and hoist this. I would love to have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're too far apart. But I'll let you hoist it though, even though you're not gonna buy it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The offer of $2,500 is just too low. It's ridiculous. They're trying to make a buck, but they're not going to make their buck off me today. He's going to be really sad when he wakes up tomorrow morning knowing that he doesn't have that trophy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking to get about $20,000 for the rookie card, because I have three kids in college, if I'm able to sell the card, I'll use the money for those college costs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, oh wait. I know the card is authentic, but yeah, I wouldn't mind a second opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kind of way off between 20. Uh, you know what? I can go down to 17.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was pretty bummed out that we couldn't make a deal. It looks like I'm back to home plate to see if I can get another decent hit somewhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I got here is a very rare Babe Ruth Boston Red Sox team photo from his 1915 rookie season. That is cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, this was actually printed in 1915 right off the original negative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He transcends generations and generations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are very rare. They tell me there's about six of this type one variation in existence. But the other one I've seen has pinholes in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Came straight from the auction house in this sleeve. Uh, I said, I don't want it encased because, uh, I might want to frame it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about it? Okay, hang out, I'll be back in a few minutes. You got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can call an expert, but I verify my information. I pretty much know all there is to know, but yeaah, he can go ahead and call whoever he wants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven grand. Wow. You heard what the man said. They rarely come up. I think it'll sell fast. I really do. Eleven thousand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm disappointed he didn't budge from $7,000. I thought he would at least come up $500. Looks like it's back to the auction houses and see if I can get a little more money for it. What do we got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these are action packed. Yes. And they're 1995. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's when the sports card bubble just, see I mean, I mean it didn't blow up, it was like a nuclear bomb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone thought they were gonna get rich, they were gonna retire off baseball cars. Right. But, when you start getting these crazes where everyone's buying them because they're gonna be worth a fortune and they're gonna resell them, that's not collecting, that's speculating. So where did you get these things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you got Bill Walton, he played for Portland. Senator Bill Bradley, he played for the New York Knicks. Bob Cousy, played for the Celtics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, do you know much about the autographs? Did someone purchase these cards and have them signed? Were they come from Action Pact already signed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they made pawn shop cards about this shop, I'd definitely be the most valuable. Looks like a lot of gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're from Action Pact, but it seems like the company went out of business before they were able to release these cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, how much do you think these things would retail for? How long do you think it's gonna take me to sell it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got some amazing items here that I want to show you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the most extraordinary and unique collection of Red Sox team-signed baseballs that you're gonna find anywhere on the planet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Starts from 1901, which would be this ball right here and all the five World Series they won with Babe Ruth. This one is the first and earliest Babe Ruth signature that we know of that's out there on a baseball. That's incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world's largest baseball card. Don't put it in the spokes of your bike because this one signed by Cy Young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm representing the owners of the biggest team baseball collection in Red Sox history. Today we're going to be able to offer the Cy Young cabinet card. The owners are looking to get $175,000. The other item we have is Ted Williams 477th home run baseball. They're looking to get $50,000 for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean this is really neat. These two pieces the owners are willing to part with. This baseball is Ted Williams 477th home run. Why don't you put that glove on right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is an excellent piece. What this is, is a cabinet card. It's from 1893. Signed by Cy Young. As far as we know, there's only six of these out there in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best part about it is if you look over here, this actually comes in the envelope that he sent it with his handwriting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And your best prices? My best offer? I'll give it all to you for $2.20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well if you change your mind, let me know. Okay, but thanks a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was disappointed that we couldn't come to an agreement on price, but we're gonna hold on to them. We know there's other interested buyers out there and we know we'll get our price eventually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Macho Man, Randy Savage, autographed ring attire. That guy is literally one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, one of the most well known at least. Boom, don't hurt his feelings, he's a big Hulkamania fan. Oh, I'm sorry. Hulk Hogan, obviously the most well known, but Randy, Macho Man, Savage is literally right up there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the first thing obviously I want to do is just kind of look at the signature itself, take a look at this under magnification, and the good thing about this is the fabric usually holds up pretty well with this stuff, and you can see the regular thread, and then you see the ink. So, live signature. Next thing, obviously, his signature is now pretty heavily forged. His autograph.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was pretty simple. And this is pretty much what we're looking at. Really easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Signified by two large M's. So, Macho Man. That's kinda what you get out of them. It's the same exact thing here. And... Same thing here. So it is legit, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing I would say, guys, on the low end, $7,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back in 1909, the American Tobacco Company put baseball cards inside of cigarette packs and Wagner didn't approve. So he threatened to sue and they stopped making them. Only 57 are known to exist today, so it's kind of like the holy grail of baseball cards. Do you mind if I check it out a little bit? No, absolutely. Okay. It's weird the way it was broken apart. Right. Then again, maybe that's why I was donating. Yeah. Uhm, what do you want to do with it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm interested in selling some Dennis Rodman jerseys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the original. That's his very first. And I got a Maverick since. How did you get these? I was once married to Dennis. Whoa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dennis Rodman is the best rebounder ever in the NBA. Being a basketball wife, I did not fit the mold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Larry Berg too. This one has actually sweat. This was right after he took it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to sell it. I'd like to get a grand for the Mavericks at least. The Pistons is the number one seller. They're going up to $3,900.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really don't have any problem with somebody coming in and praising them. There's a lot of sentimental value into the jerseys. I just hope they know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I know the appraisal was $6,500, which sounded like a good price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $4,300 was a little low, but I don't have time to sell them online.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a fair price. It's gonna help out with my daughter's tuition and I'm really happy about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna see what you guys could, uh, do with a Walter Payton signed football. It does have his number and it has his nickname Sweetness. Super Bowl 31? He wasn't in that. You're right. Not exactly sure why he signed this ball. And that's one of the reasons that I'm trying to see what I can get for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much are you looking to get out of it? Well, this type of ball I've done a little bit of research. I'd be willing to part with this one for about $2,500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have an item I think you might be interested in. It's a 1988 Olympic gold medal from the Seoul Olympics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the Olympics because it's an event where everybody comes together and it has recognition all over the world. I think it's just the coolest thing they have. I bought the medal for about $13,000 and I'm hoping to get about $18,000 at the pawn shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I know that they usually engrave the side, so there's no engraving on the side, so that probably means it's for a tie break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the offer was pretty fair considering that we don't know who the athlete was that won the medal. But I'm going to go home and try to do some more research and figure out more details.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe DiMaggio is one of those few names that has really transcended generations, along with Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth. He's a 13-time All-Star, won nine World Series championships, and Omi Yogi Berra has more than him. So what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, ultimately a lot of people think that it was his feet that caused him to retire following the 1951 season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're dealing here with two elements. I mean, first of all, we have plaster molds of arguably one of the best centerfielders in the history of baseball. And then the second element we have is the actual autograph. It's actually personalized to your uncle, your pal, Joe DiMaggio. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I mean, these are obviously without a doubt one of a kind piece here, and there's no shortage of people collecting Joe DiMaggio items out there, plus his feet were a big part of his success. Uh, compared to other DiMaggio items, uhm, I would put the value at around three to five thousand bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided to sell my Dallas Cowboy Jersey that was worn by Bob Hayes, one of the greatest receivers of all time. I'm not really sure of the total value of the jersey, but the least I'd be willing to take is $10,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wrote me a letter. His father was a rookie with Bob Hayes and it was given to him personally by Bob Hayes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm excited that they're going to call in an expert because I would really like to hear his opinion on it. I do have a concern that it was actually worn during a game, but I don't have a concern that it was worn by Bob Hayes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do have a letter from a friend of mine stating that it came from his father who played for the Cowboys and I found this photo of Bob Hayes wearing the same jersey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do right have a nice day. And that's definitely my handwriting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's pretty cool. And that looks to be in outstanding condition, as does this t-shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, this looks legit. And this is definitely one of the first dude love shirts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rick, I wore a leather mask and hid out in a boiler room. I'm a little weird too. You got some cool stuff here. Thanks. It's been a pleasure meeting you. Likewise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What can I help you with? My grandfather gave me this helmet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm coming down to the pawn shop to sell my old football helmet. The reason why I want to sell it is it's been sitting in my house forever collecting dust. I'm trying to sell it for $500, but the lowest I'd probably go is $200.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started on $130 seeing that they wouldn't budge, so I figured I might as well just take what I can get and run with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time you retired, he had the career record, for most points, with 2,856, which is a thousand more than the second closest guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, with contracts being as scarce as they are, it's a lot more difficult to gauge a value just because there's only a few of these that are made up each time. Let me take a look at the contract and we'll see what we have. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, with signed contracts like this, the signatures on them, they're what determine whether it's worth thousands or pretty much worth throwing in your cycling bin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's have a look at the autographs. We have the signature from Wayne Gretzky. Right above him, Neil Smith. He was the GM of the Rangers. And over to the left here, this would be a witness to the signature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The G in particular almost looks like the symbol for Pi, where it comes up on the left side, kind of loops at the top, drops straight down on the right side. The Y in Gretzky pretty much is almost like the number 7 with an arc on top. What you have here, it's not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sign contracts in general have a very narrow market. They're extremely rare, but considering it's Wayne Gretzky, with the right exposure, I don't see him having a problem selling it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you tried it on? Actually I did. To see how it actually fit. I've worn them before. They're hot, aren't they? Yea. Ridiculously hot. A NASCAR driver's suit is more than just a walking billboard. It's a vital piece of safety. If the car catches fire, they're designed to handle temperatures over 2,000 degrees. They're designed to save lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been going for about 2,500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, let me get someone who works for me and knows about these things. Johnny! What's up, Ricky? Come and check this out. My buddy over here, Johnny, knows just about everything there is to know about NASCAR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why it's great to have Johnny around. I would have thought a NASCAR suit would be much more valuable. I would have probably paid way too much. But hey, NASCAR is the most attended spectator sport in the country, and this stuff sells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how much are you looking to get out of it? Well, like I'm trying to get like at least thousand out of it. Uhm, I'd give you four hundred bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so first step, we're going to draw his head, and we're going to draw it up here at the top, and we're going to draw a, it's like a half of a circle. I might have drawn that a little big. That's okay. There we go, half of a circle, and it's going to be the top of his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, and then we're gonna draw a line that curves down to his chin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, and then it's going to create a V shape that's aimed back up towards a half circle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. Awesome. And then this line can curve a little bit past his ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice. Okay, now let's draw his hair on there. And we can just do a little zigzag line that comes, connects from his forehead to his ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There, and another eye over here on the side of his head. Good, now let's draw his mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's draw his neck and it's going to come out from behind his, his ear there. And we're going to draw another line right under his chin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, now let's draw his back and it's going to be a diagonal line that comes right here and it's diagonal because he's leaning forward like he's running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. Now let's draw his sleeve. So another line here and then we're going to connect it into that first line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So right here and then it's going to aim up to the other line and get closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go. Now let's draw his thumb. A little curve. And then we'll draw the rest of his fingers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this chest line, we're going to imagine it going through his arm, behind his arm, and coming out at the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. Now let's draw his other arm and we're using overlapping. So this arm is going to come out over here from behind his arm. And he's going to have his other hand and a fist also. And then, so we're going to draw the other part of his arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. I'm gonna draw this a little longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now let's draw his thumb. And it's kind of a U shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we're going to draw his fist that goes around so his other fingers that come around and into his thumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. Now let's draw his shorts. So we're going to draw one leg coming out like he's running. This leg's out in front. We're going to draw the other leg down this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now let's make the shorts. So we're going to draw an L shape, comes down, but it's going to be curved like this at the bottom. And so if you drew this first line long,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That looks awesome. Good. Alright, now let's draw his other shorts over here. So we're going to draw another L shape. Comes in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming out, and we can use this other line, so the part of the shorts that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's make him a little longer. And then let's draw his kneecap. A little U shape. And then let's draw his calves. His muscles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On his legs, and they're going to come down on both sides. Okay, and then these legs are going to come down longer and get close to his ankles. They'll get closer together where his ankles are. Just like that. Okay, now let's draw his leg over here on this side. So draw the top of his leg, his thigh. And then this is going to come down for the front of his leg or the shin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, and then let's draw the back of his leg. The bottom of his leg. And then let's draw the muscle that's on his calf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right here, and then it's gonna go in to his ankle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now let's draw his shoes and so we'll connect the bottom right here on both sides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's finish this foot first. And it's going to be pointing. So we're going to come out, curve at the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and then we can do, we can maybe do one more line that goes around for the bottom of his shoe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect, now let's draw this shoe over here. Draw that line coming out, and then his heel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, now let's draw the bottom of his shoe. The sole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spikes. Yeaah, spikes for the cleats, right? Yeaah. So we'll draw those little U shapes. My bottom. Those are some serious cleats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now let's draw the soccer ball. So we're gonna draw a circle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right here, and I'm gonna draw it right next to his leg. Oop, I got a little wobbly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now we can leave our soccer player just like this because you guys at home can now, you can design his jersey and his shorts and his socks how you want to or maybe after the favorite player that you have. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but let's, we're going to go ahead and add a few details ourselves. Okay? So let's add, I'm going to add three stripes on his sleeve and on his shorts, the bottom of his shorts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, okay, now we're going to add two stripes, I'm going to add two stripes on his socks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is actually gonna probably just be one stripe, but two lines. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and then let's add one stripe or two lines to the bottom of his jersey right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks like a little mid 80's to late 80's stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I realized my passion for skating when I was a little kid. My dad got me a skateboard at seven years old and I never looked back. Anything stick out at you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a couple things that you can tell right off the bat. Uh, when they print the new ones, they do a heat transfer instead of a silk screen and you can feel the difference right away. The heat transfer is a flat feel and this, you can feel the depth in the graphic. So every single one of these check out to me. Sweet. So what do you think they're all worth? This is a great collection. I see this being around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do we got here? I got a program from the 1932 championship game between the Chicago Bears and Portsmouth Spartans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where'd you get it? I got the program from a nephew of an employee of the Chicago Bears. He got the collection from his uncle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. And all the programs that I've seen have been in the Bears office fire in the early 1960s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the history of the NFL. That would be really debatable, the most important game. No, this game. First Super Bowl? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only know of seven in existence. There's one in the Hall of Fame. Their program is burned worse than this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, there's four Hall of Famers on the Bears team alone. I think it's, you know, well worth 5,000. Okay, and I'll tell you what I do. I'll take, uh, I'll take three. Let me pay you 2,500 for it. It would have to go through an auction. You sure you're gonna do this? The corners are still sharp on the ones that are left. The rosters are complete. 2,750.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really happy that we were able to come to an agreement. I knew the offer of $2,000 was way too low. The historical significance of this program, you know, demanded that it come up more than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Miami Dolphins are a team extremely rich in history, and to see a playbook from their days when they joined the AFL is really cool. It was guys like Bob Greasy, Larry Zonka, and legendary coach Don Shula, who's one more than any other coach in the history of the NFL, and went on to accomplish what no other team has accomplished before, the perfect season, which they did in 1972.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playbooks themselves, they date back over 100 years and in a sense they contain all of the team's secrets. It's literally like learning another language between all the blocking assignments and different routes and packages. What is something like this worth? I mean, is there even a market for this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Chicago Bears are one of the two oldest teams who are still playing in the NFL. And as far as fan bases go, they have one of the most loyal fan bases of any team out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if we're dealing with an official ball, mint condition signatures, we'd be talking several thousand dollars. Now I'm looking at some of the signatures, we have to determine whether or not these are even authentic ones. Those signatures, they're 100% spot on exactly what I want to see in a 1967 ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the other signatures, you really gotta focus on the characteristics of the autograph. If we compare the Brian Piccolo signature here to the one on the football, these are contrasting signatures, very


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Typical for what you see in a clubhouse signature, they were signed by somebody else other than the athlete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Considering the kind of all it's on, which ones are real versus which are in a clubhouse, you're looking at maybe tops, thousand bucks. Jeremy Mann, I appreciate you coming in. Anytime, Corey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even guys in the practice squad do get rings. At this point, this ring was the heaviest and it was the most expensive ring that they had ever made for any Super Bowl game. It's cast in 14k white gold, it's got 124 diamonds, and also it says 3 out of 4. Unfortunately, anytime you have a high profile item, counterfeiters figure out creative ways to pass off things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I see we got uh, Jostens. Usually you would see that not only in a different location, but it looks to be actually hand engraved rather than actually out of the machine. But this thing was so enormous, it didn't fit inside Jostens normal ring engraver. They actually had to have somebody laser engrave each and every ring as you see here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a Honus Wagner game worn jersey and game used hat from 1935. We've had the items in the family for over 20 years and my daughter and I might be interested in selling the items if it was worth it. Maybe it can pay for college.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did you get this? We inherited this from a family member. I was always a big baseball fan and someone said, hey, you know, maybe Tony would like this. You know, I've had it for quite some time. My daughter Farah is 11 and we named her Farah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what's all this stuff? So this is a photo that matches the jersey and the cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And these are letters from an Air Force pilot during World War II. This gentleman's deployed out in Japan and sends Honus a postcard. Can you, can you send me a couple of baseball caps because the guys and I would like to play some baseball. This is a postcard from Honus Wagner to the pilot. Correct. That's incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean we've had it in the family a long time, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Hey Rick, uh, I appreciate you taking the time to look at it, um, but I think we're gonna hold on to it for a little while. Okay, I don't blame you. Nice meeting you. Yeah, you too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool. If I was a pitcher, I'd definitely want the Cy Young Award.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a really good franchise, they just couldn't get it done all them other years. You think they were the team of the 90s? Sure, they were good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really know too much about Pete Rose, the baseball player. I'm a fan of Pete Rose, the gambler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does anybody like the Dodgers? I do. Oh, it must suck for you, cause I'm a San Francisco Giants fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's going to be way fun. We hope you're going to follow along with us. What art supplies do they need for this lesson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's first draw her mouth. We're gonna draw it right in the middle of our paper. I'm gonna draw a smile, well, or a line like this. And then I'm gonna draw a U shape underneath so that she's really happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Then we can draw her tongue inside her mouth. Then let's color in the top shit. Now let's draw her left eye. I'm gonna draw a circle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also her right eye and another circle the same size. She's really happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, really cute and really happy. Okay, and eyelashes. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anytime that we fast forward the video or if we go too fast, remember you can pause the video to take extra time to finish that step. Now let's draw her head. We're going to draw a curve that comes under her eyes and her mouth over and then back up on the other side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we could also draw her hair. I'm going to draw a curve that goes over her eye like that. A little S curve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then over here we can connect it into the side of her head. And then I'm going to draw another curve like that on the other side. A little S curve. It can go down. And then, yeah, there you go. Now let's draw her ears. I'm going to draw a little curve over here and a little backward C shape over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now let's draw the little pom pom on top of her head. Gonna draw a zigzag line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goes all the way around, makes a little circle shape or an upside down U shape with the zigzags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's draw her scarf. I'm gonna draw two lines down on each side of her cheeks. Each under each cheek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's draw her coat. I'm going to draw another diagonal line that comes down on each side and they get wider towards the bottom. We're going to draw her with a really long coat. And then we can connect those two lines together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also add a couple buttons on the right side of that line. We can draw two little buttons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool. Alright, now let's draw her first leg. We're gonna draw it straight down. I'm gonna draw two lines together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then let's draw her ice skate. If we draw the bottom, let's connect them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Connect those two lines, but draw a little pass on both sides. Then we're gonna draw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A long line for the inside of her boot or the back of her boot. Then we'll draw a short line for the front. Then let's draw the top of her foot. And then let's connect the bottom to finish


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boot of our ice skate. We could also draw little lines for the laces. Two little lines. Alright, now let's draw the ice skate. We're gonna draw two lines coming down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we're going to connect those two lines with a straight line like that. And then right at the front, let's curve up for the front of the ice skates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then let's draw, let's make it thicker. We'll draw another line that goes underneath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, pushing. Let's draw a curved line right here. We're going to draw two curved lines coming back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I spaced them out the same distance as her front leg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that they look like they're the same length as this length. Then let's connect those two lines. We're gonna repeat the same step for her other ice skate. So a long line on the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it looks like instead of drawing it sideways, you're drawing it the same steps as this one. That's such a good idea. So long line, then a short line. Next, we're going to draw the top of the ice skate boot. And then we'll connect the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the two lines to connect to the ice skate, the blade on the bottom of the ice skate. And we'll connect those lines with a straight line. And then curve up in the front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, let's draw, let's draw two lines coming back. I'm going to draw them a little longer. There we go. And I got wider or further apart towards the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we're going to connect those two lines with a curve or U. We could draw the bottom of our coat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's wearing mittens so we can draw a little thumb sticking out. There we go. Finish her gloves. Then let's do the same thing for the front or her other arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come down to the bottom and then we'll connect those with a U shape. And then also the line for the bottom of her coat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then let's add a little thumb right here. Yeaah, atop of her glove. Next, let's draw the rest of her scarf. We'll draw two lines coming down from the part that's wrapped around her neck. And then we'll connect those at the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we can add another one right behind it. So let's just draw another line next to it and then connect it in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, now let's draw her hair blowing in the wind. I'm gonna draw a little S curve that comes up and then curves down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we're going to curve right here. We're going to curve back into our head like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's add another piece of hair sticking out. I'm going to draw another curve coming down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Hadley, we did it! We finished drawing our ice skater, but we still need to do one more step, my favorite part. What is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we need a color. This part we're gonna fast forward, but at the end you guys can pause the video to match the same coloring. You ready to fast forward?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hadley, great job on coloring your cute little ice skater. She turned out perfect. I hope our art friends are going to take time to color their drawings also. What do we use to color our drawings?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we do. We hope you had a lot of fun and we also hope that you finished your drawing by adding the background. You could also draw the ice that she's skating on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to think that the utter stench coming from Vancouver over the past few years is punishment from the hockey gods for their mass rioting after losing game 7 of the finals in 2011.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they did the same thing after losing game 7 in 1994, and they ended up with 10 years of mediocrity. They didn't learn. So like Rome allegedly did to Carthage, they salted the damn earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a result, you get a team that might pass Muster in 2003. Big, physical, slow, and not all that skilled. But it has lots of character and grit, right? That will get you a bunch of brownie points in Canuckland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now we get to the elephant in the room. A man that is completely tactless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brendan Gonson, Jake Virtanen look like god-awful picks at this point. Nicholas Jensen was bad and traded for scraps. Gustav Forsling...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for trying to skin Boston alive and impersonating that team? Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone did it better, and what do you know? It's their good friend and the Edmonton Oilers, fresh off of their 10-year rebuilding plan. So not only do Canucks fans have to deal with Trader Jim Benning, but also have to, once again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be relegated to Edmonton's little brother. It's happening once again. Milan Lucic was heavily pursued by his hometown team in the offseason only to go to fucking Edmonton. So they get plan D and an aging injury-prone Louis Erickson. Who last played for Boston?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even Jim Benning's nephew signed with Edmonton over Vancouver. I'd like to see how that all turned out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frankly, came down to a simple proposition. I had no choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Congratulations, Washington Capitals! You are once again unable to make it past the second round of the playoffs. In fact, you've reached an illustrious milestone in your legacy of failure. Here's John to give us the deets. Capitals, you have some wonderful prizes lined up for you this offseason. First off, you have to deal with the expansion draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's time to overhaul that chore that only brings pain to the hearts of fans. Even more painful is that the Caps didn't just lose to any Team Bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, this is a team that I think needs all 20 guys going in order to win. Uh, we don't have enough talent to think that we can get away with a mediocre game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He goes to Nashville in a stunner for Shea Weber, a man who is several years older than Subban, plays a more physical style than him, and has a total albatross of a contract that runs until he's in his forties. My god, a massive conflict between a star player and executives? This situation has never played itself out in the history of the Canadian's organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the wa trade, it all but scrambled the team's identity and caused it to form a crater-sized hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, Montreal, your team sided with a head coach that gets a stiffy from undersized marginally skilled forwards. That was fired nine months later. Even more ironic is that they ousted Subban for being a nuisance, then immediately signed one of the most notorious cancers in hockey, and Alex Radulov.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carl Alsner, another physical defenseman with injury issues and doesn't solve our offensive woes. Five year contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's time to deal with this Carrie Price situation once and for all. The price is right!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But handcuff themselves to being forced to go for broke every single year. That price contract is near unmovable, and the total lack of depth throughout the lineup is reaching critical mass. Bergevin, I have to ask on behalf of everyone. What the fuck are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least with the Bennings, Snows, and Sweeney's of the world, you could at least see some glimpse of a vision that they were trying for. With Montreal, I see none of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you at all surprised why the habs are absolute fucking garbage right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Montreal execs want him run out of town because he doesn't fit the mold of the team and they're spreading nasty rumors about him to the press. Because once again, this situation has never played itself out in the Canadian's organization. It's cool though, they can just get John Tavares. He is this franchise's savior. So much so that they can all but tamper with him while he's still a member of the Islanders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember when you guys were pissed off at Vancouver for talking with BK Suban a few years back? Life can set you fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be fair, all of this isn't on Bertram and himself. There is one person you really need to point the finger at. His enabler, Jeff Molson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what Bee gets hiring schluts like Bergevat, which Bee gets him booting a promising team into the St. Lawrence River, which Bee gets him firing Tarion for Julien, again, which Bee gets the Canadians being absolutely fucked in three years unless every single thing goes right for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Oakland Raiders are the truest depiction of Al Davis' final days. A senile entity clinging on to the glory years yet failing to understand what made them great in their heyday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will claim that such victories should be tasted over and over again, but a 15-year hiatus isn't a reference for some success. Yes, the 2016 vintage of such a squad boasted potential, a core that promised years of hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the Raiders fell apart as their backup QB suffered the same fate. It would only get worse for them, losing to Brock Osweiler in a playoff game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such is the punishment expected when you're forced to start Connor Cook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's get one thing clear, the Raiders needed a new stadium. Their current situation is a goddamn mess with terrible infrastructure and sewage leaks. Regardless, the city wouldn't budge and give in to its demands for government funding. Because it's quite obvious that Alameda County doesn't have more pressing issues to deal with besides throwing money at a legacy owner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not in the slightest. By the time the city all but caved, it was too late. To fully understand this situation, you have to take a look at the bowl-cut brigand himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That time may come when the Raiders officially fuck off from California to Las Vegas. The Sin City, where the Raiders will most likely become just like every other production there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Past their prime, full of gimmicks and bluesing any semblance of soul they may have had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The strains that were pulled to even get them to this point are astonishing. It took a few winks and nods from the NFL, Jerry Jones in particular, to help arrange logistics and funding of it. Clark County itself chose to play Cincinnati Simulator as they threw nearly every resource they had into building them a new stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have fun failing to fund your education and social programs in 15 years. Even more interesting, Davis is indulging in the Vegas spirit by gambling everything on this move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The son of the senile old man was caught in a dilemma. The team was struggling mightily and needed a shakeup. Jack Del Rio kicked to the curb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even with a rebuild, Mack would still be a core contributor for the Raiders in future playoff runs. With this information in hand, the conclusion is simple. You do not trade Kalil Mack!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a player that offers much more value to a team than the market commands. In fact, I dare say the Raiders undersold him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gets to be fucking mauled by a bunch of civs, throwing to a bunch of injury-prone old guys who may or may not be civs while being chucked off the Golden Gate Bridge by Chucky. There may or may not be arguments with him on the sidelines. Don't worry, even with that extension, you'll probably be free from this hellhole soon enough. Just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now they get the added bonus of possibly being a vagrant before the new palace in Vegas is complete. Their lease is ending and the raiders have nowhere to go as of this time. It's fitting of them, lost in a desert of sewage leaks and house fires.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter Mann Christian Hackenberg, oh shit, this guy can't assess talent with a damn. Even if he hits on a pick or two, how are they going to succeed? There is no evidence that Gruden can relate to the modern player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is all thanks to Raycon, the sponsor of today's video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sleek design and customizable fit of their versatile earbuds are perfect for nearly every situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The seamless Bluetooth capability, strong color selection, six hours of battery life, and quality sound flooding your ears make anything better.

[Assistant] Tell you what, do you want 15% off of your order? Then simply go to buyraycon.com slash uTree to capitalize on the savings. The doldrums of winter suck, but the everyday E25s by Raycon can help out in a few ways. And now onto the main attraction. Roll that beautiful rebuilding footage. Let's go back and take a trip to 2019. Life was a hell of a lot better back then. We were able to go to bars and socialize in public.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As usual, I express cynicism and derision at their effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most notably against Indianapolis, the Bungles, and the Coup de Grace against the New England Patriots. In Week 17, Ryan Fitzpatrick led his team in a clutch final drive to give the Dolphins the win. It may have permanently changed the scope of the NFL landscape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a team that looked completely horrible at the start of the year, it's great progress but goes against the art of the tank. But what has happened since then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the past year, the Dolphins have been a team that's turned around, my thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In past years, the dolphins were known for going after the big splashes in pre-agency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember how they had to shed a lot of their big signings a few years ago in an attempt to make a culture change when the real culture that needed to be made was... enough said about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time around, they went for big signings, but those of substance. Those that would offer much needed stability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had a lot of cap space coming into last offseason and the plan was to make it count. Team defense and structure were most important to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both had talent, but weren't able to fully translate it onto the feed. Even then, it's still an upgrade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were several moves on offense, mostly bringing in Eric Flowers for 10 million per year. I'm thinking, wait...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently he managed to salvage his career as a guard for Name Redacted. Better fit for his overall skills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Howard got cut a few weeks into the season, but they did get the prize they were looking for. Tua. He fell in the draft to the fifth overall pick. Fears of fucking up the tank were overblown. They got what they wanted in the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Joe Burrow became the much better prospect by draft time, Tua was still highly regarded. But he had developed health concerns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With their other first round picks in this draft, thanks Pittsburgh and Houston, they picked Austin Jackson and Newegg monogany. Whether or not they thrive at this level is to be determined. The next year wasn't considered a big year for the Dolphins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All people were expecting out of them was progress. A low bar, but still something that can be failed as other franchises have proven in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'd have Ryan Fitzpatrick back as a steady hand, so they weren't going to chuck Tua into the fire immediately. Good sign so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the thing is, was that they were doing it in completely differing ways. Against the Rams, it was strong defense carrying the tee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] San Francisco was just a bloodbath against a team slowly suffering from internal injuries. A team that wins 8 of 10 in the NFL has to earn it. And in many ways, they did. Did they overachieve when you consider their team? Yes. Does it mean that such progress should be dismissed? Absolutely not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The group had several key talents emerge as franchise cornerstones. The main one being Xavier Howard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spectacular play after spectacular play against elite receivers. Leading the league in interceptions and past deflections. In the age of offensive football, this is outstanding production. And in his contract, it's a bargain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike Kosikis looked solid as a Titan over the past few years. When he's healthy, Devante Parker is a game changer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But because it was fearing he needed more time to develop as a coach, it was a very risky move for Miami to make, and he has honestly rewarded them for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too many times have his disciples tried to come in and force themselves into the equation instead of letting things come naturally.

[Assistant] They try way too hard to be aggressive and in your face, and that doesn't work at this level. From what I've seen, Flores isn't trying to be Bill Belichick. He's trying to be Brian Flores. And that goes a long way to winning over a locker room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Dolphins weren't expected to be anywhere near a playoff spot at the beginning of the year, yet only missed the playoffs by one game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The AFC was incredibly top-heavy, and a 10-1 team missing the playoffs entirely is quite rare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sucks, but it shouldn't do anything about long-term optimism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Franchise caliber talents at left tackle are rare to find and the return wouldn't be enough to overcome such a move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking back at it now, there was one variable I didn't take into account. That the Texans would implode as an organization. That segment has been beaten to death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But thanks to said implosion, Miami now holds the third overall pick. As well as an early second rounder from Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the age of rookie quarterbacks being asked to take a huge role from the start, the microscope is on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had been benched several times during the season for Fitzpatrick. The offense ran much smoother without him and so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would keep him as the starter for next season, but I am more conservative in my approach. The new NFL demands results immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If not, you end up like Josh Rosen and Dwayne Haskins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or maybe those Deshaun Watson rumors have legs after all. But those are speculative questions. And the same goes for what the Dolphins will do moving forward. As I said, the team's ruined me over the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully in a year or two I can make a video about the art of the contender, but that will require more work. Work that the dolphins seem to be eager to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, especially considering the past few months, we need to admit something rather dire is happening with baseball. It's not due to one particular factor, but a culmination of years of stagnation with an unprecedented pandemic and endless bickering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look me in the eyes and tell me what has happened over the past four or five months has been beneficial to the sport. I hate to say it, but this season has been all but a disaster. Think about the times you've heard about baseball over the past month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been a barrage of negative publicity and stories that put a black eye on the league. The first game back should've been a warning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rob Manfred was being interviewed by ESPN as lightning strikes in the background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A monsoon immediately engulfs Nationals Park. If that doesn't summarize the season thus far, I don't know what will. Maybe trying to bulrush through more issues should do it. Look before that to the great pride of Canada and the Toronto Blue Jays. Canada has set a zero tolerance policy towards anything that may compromise the health of their citizens. And that includes people trying to enter the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There would have been massive fines and possibly jail time for Bluechase players leaving the quarantine area, but that was before the final decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Canadian government told them to fuck off and find a new place to play. So now the Blue Jays, several weeks until the season starts, have to scramble and beg for a new place to play what they'll call home games this season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They first tried Pittsburgh, and local government approved, but the state government told them to find somewhere else. Next, they tried Baltimore, but that was less than ideal for proximity. Just after the season started, they settled on Buffalo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A city they first scoffed at due to a lack of major league amenities at the stadium. So now they have to scramble to upgrade aspects of the stadium in order to have a de facto home opener in a few weeks. Now an escape from embarrassment would be bad enough, but if they can at least hold off on any potential outbreaks for a while, the league could focus on the baseball being played.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It only takes one, and when someone has it on the team airplane, there's a good chance a lot of people on board will get it. The end result is over 20 players and coaches being infected. The team itself being suspended from play for a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the Marlins are forced to play with a ragtag group for the short-term future. At least it's a better outcome than the Cardinals had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite the outbreaks among teams, the real issue for me is in another category. Pictures are dropping like flies this season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are many reasons for why this is, but I firmly believe a main one is due to pitchers not getting the reps they needed before the restarted season. Turning it back on like a lightbulb did more damage than good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This leads to a shit ton of blown arms and shoulders, among other things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bit of a long list for a few weeks into the season, yes? That's not mentioning lesser known pitchers or the guys that were already injured or opted out like Cinderguard, Chris Sale, David Price, or Chris Archer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only is it diluting the level of play, it's a damning testament to how rushed the restart was. Elbows and shoulders are finicky joints and need time to readjust to hurling 95 miles an hour. There's also the issue of Eduardo Rodriguez, who is still dealing with the effects of coronavirus. He suffered a heart issue that's lingered and who the hell knows when or even if he'll be able to play again. How many more fall before the end of the year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cringe to think. This season has also allowed baseball to experiment with new rules and regulations and their rather misaligned quest to speed up play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some I agree with, such as the three batter minimum, in which changing a pitcher for every guy that came up to bat significantly slowed down the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The seven innings for double headers make sense in these times due to the packed nature of the schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't agree with 16 teams making the bow season due to it enabling mediocrity, but I understand why they did it. But what the hell is with the idea of starting extra innings with a runner on second base? This is not an improvement, this is a gimmick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we get to the part where things are starting to get dangerous. Athletes are still going to want to go out and party, like Zach Plisak and Mike Clevenger did in Chicago. Plisak's so much of an idiot that he posted about it on social media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big no-no in quarantine, buddy. You get to drive a rental car back home in shame on one of the most boring stretches of land in America!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what's the issue with this? Simple. Teams and players are starting to weaponize service time. Now manipulation of service time isn't a new phenomenon. Teams have been holding back players in the minors for a few months to avoid Super 2 status and arbitration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to do it as a form of punitive punishment? That's the kind of shit that leads to an impasse and inevitable work stoppage. Marcus Strowman did the same thing, but in the opposite manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone just laughs because it's the Mets. I know people are going to point to the strong ratings for baseball once it came back as proof of the league still being healthy, but that was when it was the first major sport back in play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like being the first comment on a YouTube video. Means jack shit when the market is flooded with options.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to be a big collector of baseball cards and I don't collect any longer. I've got five of these 1967 Pete Rose baseball cards. They're in like mint condition. They've gotta be worth some money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you're wrong, but alright. I'll get something someplace else for him. Okay, uhm, thanks. Thanks for coming in. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If these cards are fake, then, you know, what else is real? Is the wife real? The dog? The cat? You know, what's real?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a bad justification. You had your shot a few years ago. You blew it. It was a perfect storm of circumstances that have never been replicated. Year after that, you try coming back here with the president's trophy. What'd you do with it? I'm voting game seven against Winnipeg. Hate to break it to you boys, but that was their peak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a team that was alleged to have strong offensive talents throughout the roster, they couldn't score with a damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all knew it. Nashville was far from their prime, but don't tell that to David Poyle. The thing is, David Poyle was a great GM in his heyday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keyword here is was. Over the past few years, there's one comparison I have to with. Craig Patrick and his Twilight. It's unfortunate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's shaken up the lineup quite a few times, he's brought in talent, but here's the problem. None of it fits the team style or chemistry. Kyle Terrorist, good player and looked like a great deal at the time they got him. He never fit in Nashville. He was out of place and fell off production-wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will now be remembering this time with a two million dollar buyout penalty for the next eight years. It keeps going too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 2019 trade deadline bringing in Mikel Grandland and Wayne Simmons? Good idea is if they fit the system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In hindsight, that was a smart deal since P.K. fell off hard production-wise. Who do they go after with the savings, though? Matt Duschein at an exorbitant payday. He's a good player, but once again not what they needed. He's a complimentary player who does best in the perimeter. They already have Viktor Arvidsson and Philip Forsberg. They brought in a much pricier Kevin Fiala, who they traded a few months earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter LaViolette is a good coach, but he was past his expiration date in Nashville.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It showed in aspects like the powerplay, which was mostly flaccid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the middle of last season, La Violette went into the recycled meat grinder of unemployed hockey coaches. They'll spend a few months in there and then get a new job. Firing La Violette was needed, but here's where the issue lies. It's in his replacement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dead serious. Putting men in the penalty box is the key to beating the Predators.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The transition plan and net as Fault are thus leading to more losses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forcebird, maybe, but would you take him over guys like Panarin and Marner? Not really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nowadays though, they seem to be coming to terms with their situation. Rumors are swirling that they are about to blow it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently they're thinking of trading Forsberg instead of Ryan Ellis, which I don't understand, but you get a nice return for Phillip and Ekholm too. Do you really want to waste it on a weak draft class though? And on a coach that doesn't let the youth play that much this season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But an official calls it dead since he can't see the putt behind the goaltender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rest of us that can look on in perplexity at such an easy call can be botched. The predators of that referee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They either can't or won't see the issues that the rest of us can. And it's honestly hurting the team with every passing day. The cruelest irony for a team that's been catfished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each team also has three sighted guides to give instructions to the players when they enter their respective third of the pitch. These are the goalkeeper in the defensive third, coach in midfield, and another guide in the attacking third.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A match lasts 50 minutes, consisting of two halves. If a match is drawn after extra time, then like its 11-a-side version, penalties may decide the outcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The field of play is the same size as for FIFA futsal, 20 meters wide and 40 meters long. The sidewalls are between 1 and 1.2 meters high, meaning the ball cannot go out of play and ensures a more continuous flow of the game. The goal is 3 meters wide and 2 meters high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Line football is mesmerizing. The skill of the players astounding the crowd on every occasion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earliest footage back in the 1970s, there were just a few film reels being shot at each race. Then you get into the 1980s and we have international feed TV coverage of the races recorded. Then as we get sort of through the 90s, 2000s up to present day, the amount of content has just completely exploded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We estimate around 150,000 hours of footage, hundreds of thousands of individual video assets, and it covers sort of all content captured at Grand Prix. So it's international feed footage, it's onboard camera recordings from all the cars, so a really vast range of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] F1 needed a cloud-based system that would allow us to scale up our operation beyond the boundaries of the building that we currently work in. We needed superior tagging and metadata capabilities that would give our editors and researchers more feedback and ease of use and speed when searching for content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the AWS Media to Cloud solution gave us that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just going to release my Joy-Con into the TV. Here we are, Nintendo Switch Sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This came out. I wanna play offline. I wanna play locally. Amongst myself. I did play this game during the playtest. And I did in fact destroy a set of Joy-Cons playing Chambara when I got really mad. Aww, BOLONI!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have that leg strap for soccer, cause I didn't get the physical copy of the game, but I could duct tape it to my leg. We're gonna start with volleyball. A controller update is required. Connection with the controller has been lost. Dude, I gotta make Beef Boss in this game? How the hell do you do that? Get out of here, Front Request. Wait a second. How the hell do I use Beef Boss? Why is this game volume so loud?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And updates were, we were just fine and now we need to update our controller again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, here we go. Me. There we go. Wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But beefboss is a chick now. What would beefboss wear? I'm not used to them having this kind of body. CPU strength. Normal strong powerhouse. Yea, I wanna get powerhoused. Powerhouse me. Your timing was early. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything I do is early, I'm sorry, I have a problem with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish we didn't have to do this. Oh, I don't have to do this. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, end tutorial. Haha, we're clapping. Your timing was early, this thing's still bitching at me. Oh, suck my balls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't even need the tutorial, look at this! I think my serves suck ass though. What- what- Holy shit! I don't know how I did that. Dude, Ren's saving my tits and ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't do anything, but I still returned it. Oh. I guess I, I did fuck that up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aw, suck on that, Tyrone. I feel like I'm fucking everything up, to be honest with you. But somehow it, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like it already knew I had to bump, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't this kinda like cheating with the little hints it's giving me? Like, what kind of novice do you think I am to give me all these hints? And it keeps on telling me I'm early!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh fuck! What? My depth perception was off. I didn't see it coming. Oh Jesus. I hate volleyball. Your timing was early!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no shit, my timing was late. That motherfucker was coming like a bullet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aw, Ren, you gotta get those brother. Well now it's on me. Dude, Ren is a much better spiker than me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, of course, we lose our first game thanks to Ren. Ren thought blocking was optional, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gives me powerhouse opponents but bullshit teammates. Yea, don't touch my back, Ren. Go fuck yourself. We ain't on that level. Well, we're gonna play soccer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you wear the leg strap, you can play shootout, a unique mode with special rules. I guess we just won't play that. I don't want a teammate after what happened with Ren last time. Ooh, we need both now. It's a rather large ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't call this normal size balls. Beatbox, if you don't win, I'm gonna be mad. You'd hump that ball, Beatbox. Oh, what the fuck is that, Chris?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, soccer is a game of whoever kicks the fucking ball first gets a goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, his ninja just did suit this fucking ball. Oh yea, I gave him a great pass for that. Oh, he didn't, he didn't actually score. Aw, shit. Put it actually in the net.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome, great. Now we're losing 4 to nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, let's go on ourselves. Wow! Awesome, we're already fucking done, BeatBoss. We don't even get- how do you- how do you- I- I still don't know, there's dash, jump, where's plank? Like, I- I- it seems like they're having- they have an adv- Dude, soccer's so fucking stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Absolutely not. We're never playing soccer ever again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you fall, you lay down on the frickin' floor and don't get up for 10 minutes? HE JUST LAYS THERE!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, swing your fucking racket. That doesn't make up for you just being lazy, causing us the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're fu- you know, we're not even- we're not even gonna give- I'm gonna go bowling. This seemed to have... Classic bowling, roll the ball down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're just gonna do some standard bowling. A perfect game bowling will make up for how pitiful everything else has been so far. Where is the curve?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's the curve at? Man, there's a lot of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we go! Here we go! The same shit that fucks me up in Wii Sports Resort! No, no, no. I think we can get a perfect game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The throw originally was bizarre, and then it's result is even more b-b-b-bizarre. Bizarre. Suck my balls. Where is that ball going?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This bowling music's already gonna frickin' live in my nightmares.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you not have us let go of the button when we-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How else do you signify you want the ball let go when you don't let go of the button?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this. They put these scrubs next to me that shoot gutter balls to screw me up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this, watch this, yeaah. Nice fucking throw, dipshit. You suck, yeaah, yeaah, you happy face, yeaah. I wouldn't be happy doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lookit, every single ball you see in the lanes next to me are in the gutter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This shit right here. Wow. The punching technique works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm literally like punching my joycon at eye level to throw this ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Five-Bagger, I guess they're all Baggers now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought I might go, I might have been too centered there, but I didn't change it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that's some Wii Sports bullshit right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a fine throw and it didn't, it didn't knock down all the pins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, someone hit pins in the alley next to me. That's pretty incredible. That's another good throw that wasn't a good throw apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After readying the ball out of your chest, mimic actual motions of bowling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, go fuck yourself. I was doing best when I was punching the frickin' ball at eye level. So, suck my balls. Realism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, Chumbara pisses me off beyond belief. So if we play Chumbara at powerhouse...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How bad will this be? And you know I rock those twin swords. I'll just give the CPU a sword. I'm not a huge fan of how the difficulties work in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't understand why they didn't do it like in Wii Sports where you build your way up instead of just picking powerhouse or whatever and we're playing a bitch with a hat. How?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Powerhouse? You'd call this powerhouse?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. I actually won something. I didn't think it was possible. I wasn't even gonna play this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I figured I'd just get really pissed off. So if you play again at powerhouse, do they actually get better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, kiss my ass. See if your mask will protect you from that water. Infested with sharks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what you get for coming around here and thinking you can mess with BeatBoss. Alright, I gotta quit on a high note.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope I don't die bowling, that's for sure. I need to, I need to be more gentle with my curve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I SAID GENTLE! Alright, they're blue hairs. Show the blue hairs up. We're at second place, we could win this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, way to choke at me, thank you. Pat my fucking back for choking on a goddamn bowling paul and pin at the same time. Dude, I suck. I suck. I choked it. I got la- I got third. I choked. I got a spare airstrike every frame except the last one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no. There's nothing to be happy with. Third place is not first place. I think this is a bot. There is no way I'm beating a human this easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at that! We're undefeated on Nintendo Switch Sport. Oh, we can chat? Oh, look at this. Hooray!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, these dual swords are overpowered. Or I'm overpowered. I think it's probably me being overpowered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People should talk my Wii Sports abilities until they get in, get in a 1v1 with me. Oh, my ass, my ass, my ass!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go, ooh. That was like some sacrificial shit right there. Ah, well, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you didn't, if you didn't make me watch the replay, and, and guess what? Guess what? Guess who's watching the replay? Of you losing. That's what you get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they make the characters show after losing. Like, no fuck that shit, we're pissed off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't know. This droidcon's not working!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's just straight up broke, Nintendo. It's not like it just randomly stopped connecting. Well, I guess I have to buy new Joy-Cons.

[Assistant] This video is proudly sponsored by Raycom. There are times where I just want to unwind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just stare at the walls, chill while trying to prevent my mind from gnawing at me for the next video idea. The way I do that is with music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just sit back on my couch or on the computer and pop in the everyday earbuds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With their custom gel tips, I'm sure to get a comfy fit every time. That's good since they give me 8 hours of playtime per charge. But I know what you're thinking. Times are iffy. I want something that's going to give me value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

Raycons work for any budget, big or small. I just don't know about the Coyotes. May the relocation rumors begin again. The Coyotes needed Tempy to pass the public referendum. It was the sweetest deal the team could get from the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to mention a few other things that may have sabotaged the effort. Sounds like a slam dunk!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brand new destination area, minimal public funding, state-of-the-art arena? On the surface, it sounds baffling as to why they'd vote no on it. It wasn't just rejected, it was resoundingly so. Tempe is now dead, and the Coyotes are once again back to square one. Let me put it in layman's terms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One seeping chemicals into the town's water supply and would have to be cleaned up anyway over the project. That's all you need to hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't believe that the locals rejected the proposal itself, nimbies aside. They said no to the coyotes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They only spent $250,000 on the campaign. Their opposition spent ten times that amount.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When team executives are going door to door to try and secure votes, it's over. I've been very critical of the NHL's efforts in Arizona.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Atlanta had extremely shitty owners, but never had the editorial on display here. The Thrasher's Brass at least owned their own damn arena. They were never kicked out of Glendale on a long and painful divorce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were never nearly booted out during the middle of the season for being delinquent in rent payments!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were never forced to play second fiddle to a college hockey team in an arena that seats less than 5,000 people. But one thing has changed in my stance in starting this shit. The failure of this team here isn't a hockey in Arizona problem. It's a coyotes problem. The organization is completely toxic. And there has been almost no end in sight to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since their plans for a new arena have fallen apart yet again, the players are getting restless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shane Dome, the face of the team as long as they've been here, has left the organization for a better opportunity in Toronto. Vans throughout the hockey world are just frustrated with everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NHL abandoned markets for much less before, only to give this team endless chances to bleed hundreds of millions of dollars. It's asinine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back when the team moved to Phoenix, there was legitimate buzz about the franchise. The Coyotes had fans. Plenty of them. Problem was, like the Thrasher's, they never capitalized on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lacked postseason success. In their first six years in Phoenix, they made it to the first round five times. The Coyotes never got past it.

[Assistant] No real sustained success, attendance dropped rather significantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been poorly run. The executive branch has been spotty at best, and they're currently on year 11 of a five-year plan. But all that isn't the real issue here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking back on it, moving to Glendale was the biggest mistake the franchise made. There were some plans to build in Scottsdale, but they had stalled out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The original plan was to turn Glendale into a destination, replete with a shopping and entertainment district with a state of the art arena as the main attraction. It never worked out. Glendale never got the boom that it was seeking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The move happened with such optimism, but it backfired horrifically. And that's putting it nicely. The team and city bled millions in the endeavor. Things turned so sour, neither one anything to do with each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just why Glendale booted them out and now sits bitter at the ordeal. On the other side, chaos. You can't have success in sports without competent people at the top. Atlanta was undone by Atlanta's spirit. Phoenix has been a cavalcade of incompetence.

[Assistant] A carousel of self-serving cancerous parasites that have done more to damage the organization than a thousand bad teens could dream of doing. The first donors down here were Steven Glockstern and Richard Burke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She went haywire after Gluckstern jumped ship to join a group buying the Islanders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Burke had enough of the desert, he sold to a developer named Steve Elmich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He brought Wayne Gretzky in as a PR face before he decided to put himself in his head coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enter Jerry Moyes, who was such an honorable man that he threw the team into bankruptcy to try and pull a fast one and sell the team to gym ball silly. Then the NHL itself took over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ran it like hockey's version of the Montreal Expos as they tried to figure out what the fuck to do with it. They waited to find someone who would keep this rotting carcass here. And that man was George Gaspé. Nobody liked losing more than him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one ends on a sad note. He tragically died months after selling his stake in the team. And that went to Andrew Barroway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baraway never cared for the team or its reputation. He struck me as a man who wanted to simply sell the franchise at a profit. A hedge fund manager through and through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Alex Maruella was supposed to finally be the one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An owner who would make inroads with the city, plant their seed in a budding hockey hotbed. The Southwest's Jeff Vinick. But ever since he bought the team, he's just been to shitties the rest of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The embarrassments in the bubble, the extremely toxic work environment, the tension with Glendale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's nothing here that shows me that Maroello is the owner that will turn around this franchise. And it wasn't like there weren't any warning signs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NBA told him to fuck off when he tried to buy the Hawks a decade ago. So now we get to the current point in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Coyotes, like many times before in this desert, are back in the same hell they were trying to avoid. No arena deal in sight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stuck in a college hockey arena where there are matinee attraction for the next couple of seasons, and hockey fans everywhere frustrated and jaded with the entire ordeal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet the NHL and Gary Bettman continued to keep this team on life support when they should have pulled a plug years ago. They're still dead set on staying here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd agree with them if there were signals that this could possibly work, but there's nothing pointing to that! I'm going to scream this so there's a chance Betmink can hear. GIVE UP! The time to rectify this situation was a decade ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the only reasons this team is still here is because of Betman's stubbornness and sunken cost fallacy. Where do they go from here? Hope the natives don't rip them off a reservation land? The fifth attempt at Scottsdale?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beg Madish be able to let them back in Phoenix and go back to the same issues that had them leave in the first place?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's how you get a team that's soundly defeated by a toxic landfill at the polls. What frustrates me is that it just keeps dragging on. It's damaging the league.
