Man, I don't know, I'm all smiles, for sure. What's the significance? We're not far from where you played high school ball at Monberg, part of your journey. So what's the significance of, you know, kind of playing so close to where your dreams were really starting to be realized? Man, it's, honestly, this is another game we got to take care of, you know, for my own personal reasons. I mean, it's special, you know, Kevin Boyle, he has actually four players in the All-Star game.  Got R.J. Barrett and those guys coming up. So I definitely give my word, a lot of credit to my success. They prepared me for college in the real world before it really hit me, so I knew that the hard work pays off. You know, I wasn't sure what that meant, but the journey just alone, you know, gave me that example of what it means to work hard and get a hard work pan off for that, just alone. So I'm really lost the words. I got me doing all these interviews, but it's a great feeling. Couple more for you. What memories come to mind when you think about your early days of watching the All-Star game growing up? What memories come to mind? Honestly, I remember it being my dad's birthday weekend. My dad would always go, his birthday's the 16th, and he would always go to the All-Star wherever it is, and that would be his birthday to himself, a gift to himself for years. I can count. He's always done that. So for me to be playing in it and him getting that birthday gift, I think that's a great gift that a dad could receive. But it's a busy weekend. It's a super busy weekend growing up. I remember I actually came to my first All-Star. I played in a three-on-three tournament in Orlando. Whenever that was, it was my very first one. I played in a three-on-three tournament. Whoever won got tickets to the All-Star game, and we lost in the championship. So that was one of my first experiences of it, yeah. And earned your way back into the real game. What are you lasting? What are you looking forward to most with this experience coming up? Taking it all in. Taking it all in. Like I said, it's a busy weekend. Getting the time to just sit back and reflect on the journey that I've had and what I've been through to get here. So just really just taking it all in and whatever comes with it.  I talked to Thad Mada, his college coach, and he said it to me. And D'Angelo said, I want you to coach me, and I want you to coach me hard.  And I don't think we've, as a staff, we've coached a guy harder than we've coached D'Angelo. We were on film. He really, you know, he's taken it like a man and accepted the bad with the good, and that's a real credit to his maturity. But he made the statement when he first arrived here, and I told him now. I said, now I got to, you know, let's keep going because we're going to keep coaching you hard and keep holding you accountable. And so with talent comes responsibility, as they say.


Welcome back to the Nintendo Prime podcast episode 15 so a couple notes before we get going here we are recording this the day that Fire Emblem Heroes comes out on phones we are in North America so of course it hasn't released yet that's our luck but it'll race at some point today supposedly so we will be talking about that on the following episode so even though this episode is running the entire week of like the first week of the game being out we'll be talking about it the week after so what's nice about that though is that we'll have a lot more time to play it before we talk about it and we'll probably have our review of it one of our it might be the very first review we're doing it in the Nintendo Prime yeah it will not be a video review because I do not currently have the ability to record footage off my phone but we will have a nice written review of screenshots and yeah and we'll both have played it hopefully extensively because it's Fire Emblem and you've been wanting to play Fire Emblem forever so this finally gives you an excuse that doesn't cost you any money there's that so so you have a perspective of someone who's played Fire Emblem someone who hasn't which is should make for an interesting discussion next week that's might be the only note I have oh also Yoshi's Woolly World comes out the day after this it's a 2d science going platformer originally came out with you they're bringing it to 3ds they added some poochy levels some new character obviously we're not gonna be talking about that we do not have a copy of the game didn't get a review copy and we that hasn't come out yet wait is poochy like the dog from the dog yeah yeah so they I don't think he's really you they only yeah okay I I'm not an expert on the history of Yoshi yeah yeah see you don't see see proof he has more Nintendo knowledge with some things than I do yeah I can't remember the Yoshi game it's but it's they got that's basically like Tetris can't remember Chris is gonna kill me for that so we do have some awesome topics this week because Nintendo just got done with their investors meeting and there's a lot of interesting things to come out of it but the interesting most interesting stuff came in the post meeting interviews they did and one of those in one of those Tetsumi Kimishima who is the president and CEO of Nintendo of Japan which basically means he runs the entire company because Nintendo Japan is the headquarters all of Nintendo he came out in talk I don't know if it was an interview it was kind of advertised as a conversation he had with Japanese outlet Nikki and he basically says that the Nintendo switch he is he sees that the Nintendo switch could sell as well as the we did now let's put this in context because I don't know if you understand how much you know about the sales of Nintendo systems probably not a lot I know we kind of talked about it past but I don't remember anything off the top of my head well let's let me just draw this up I'll put a diagram up on the video version of the podcast to so the Wii was kind of like an anomaly so the Wii was an anomaly it is the best selling home console they've ever released not the best selling system we've ever released that would be Nintendo DS which sold like a hundred fifty four right right I'm getting obviously the Gameboy such game with color had hit a hundred eighteen but for home consoles the Wii sold a hundred and what a hundred one maybe a hundred or two by now play but you know you kind of go down this list here and you know the next best was the NES with the very first home console they released at sixty one point nine one and then after that was a Super Nintendo at forty nine pretty decent chunk lower than the NES and sixty four at thirty two pretty decent chunk lower than the Super Nintendo and the GameCube weight on here at twenty one point seven four and the Wii U is somewhere just under the game right there yeah yeah it's not good yeah like everything below the game really below the Wii U basically yeah I was gonna say that's kind of an anomaly but where it kind of systems start out strong then kind of just drops off the next system that comes out and then all of a sudden the Wii is like yeah yeah it's basically the NES is really popular and then every console they've released except we has sold less and less including the Wii U so like you eliminate Wii from the equation Wii U almost looks like the natural fall-off from yeah GameCube so there's been this trend of the sales going down and then we spike and then down again and then by down again you mean weight on yes so like for him to be to say we think or he thinks the switch could sell as well as the Wii that's crazy they've only ever done it once yeah they couldn't even get the NES to sell that well so like as excited as I am for the switch and as awesome as it is that they have sold through apparently their initial two million that they're gonna make they're ramping up production to make more to try to meet demand and they're doing you know what we're gonna talk they don't think of the first ever ad going on in the Super Bowl and it's specifically for the switch it's nice that you know it and apparently the Nintendo America's PR marketing head that came out and said it wasn't Reggie it's somebody else can't remember his name off top of head now that they have like a 15 month plan right now for advertising the switch so whatever it's gonna get a huge marketing campaign but like Wii numbers like why do you why why do you think that we was successful where the other Nintendo systems were not as successful I think it's because it's something different the whole motion controls it felt some of the games that they came out with it felt natural to have these motion controls and again it was just something that was totally different and I think it hit a niche that wasn't filled before and did it really well I don't know if I can go a hundred one million a niche well that's one of the number two best selling home console of all time to me you know because there's a lot of factors I think they led to the Wii success and one of them was that really sense the PlayStation 2 era when they added twin sticks to the controllers you could argue that for a lot of adults and a lot of people controllers got too complicated so yeah you to us it's whatever we grew up with gaming it just felt not like a natural evolution you have one stick on the n64 gamecube at two sticks PlayStation 2 at two sticks Xbox at two sticks like it felt like a natural evolution of what we experienced but it wasn't very inviting for new players right because they've never helped anything like this before and they're like this is just too confusing how do you move and aim with two different sticks how you know strafing and that's just shooting games but in general controls got really complicated and Nintendo with the gamecube tried doing basically controller like everyone else had and they actually the gamecube was a relatively powerful system it wasn't as powerful as the Xbox but it was just below the Xbox and ahead of the PlayStation 2 so like gamecube is the last time Nintendo Nintendo was even competitive power-wise like we're pairing with other consoles too and there's a whole bunch of reasons why the gamecube wasn't as successful and I don't think anything to do with the power so it's really weird to decide not to use power but with the Wii I think Nintendo's thought process was we need to simplify controls again and make it make sense and the motion controls the idea and this is what Wii Sports really hit on is that instead of feeling like a controller it should just feel like an extension of your body right so Wii Sports it feels like you're bowling it feels like you're swimming in a bat it feels like playing tennis and that's great obviously it wasn't perfect but at the time no people hadn't experienced this before right so it felt like an evolution in a way to get people back into gaming there or get them into gaming for the first time because it made sense and it was simple and when you had to use buttons there was only two buttons over here and a d-pad right there was a trigger which made sense your finger naturally fall there and a trigger and a joystick as an optional add-on so it was very simplistic compared to what other companies were doing and it seemed to be able to do everything the other companies could do just in a different way like it didn't feel like games were held back because of it in fact that at one point after the Wii U came out they had to separate out people who used Wiimotes and Nunchucks from people who were playing with the gamepad and call of duty because basically everyone who was using Wiimotes and Nunchucks was dominating anyone who used the gamepad because it was far more accurate yeah then you know all the whole pointing and shooting just like using your mouse and the keyboard is a hell of a lot more accurate than you can twin sticks sorry for any console purists that are you otherwise but it's it's like a known fact that it might seem weird to you at first but if you do it enough it is far more accurate than the twin stick controls and that's one reason that even in Splatoon that like some people like the gyro controls over the gyro aiming over the stick aiming because again it's more accurate if you just get used to it it feels weird but it's better so the Wii kind of built upon in my mind this idea that gaming was getting too complicated and it need to be simplified so it brought in a whole new generation I think of adults and kids into gaming that probably went to God into otherwise this was also before like a year before smart devices became a thing and probably two or three years before smart devices became popular right so it hit at a time when there there wasn't a whole bunch of tablets on the market and there wasn't a whole bunch of touchscreen phones and so kids weren't engaging with games really outside of video game consoles right so it kind of hit at a time where the market needed to be reminded that gaming doesn't have to be complicated and then obviously the specs of it is well how they were able to keep the price down to 250 at launch and that helped get its mass market appeal which 250 200 to 250 is what Nintendo has always launched their consoles at always except for the Wii we use the exception at launching at 350 and now the switches launching at 300 right so and relatively like thinking oh man the n64 launched like $200 yeah grand $200 back then like 500 today but yeah right yeah you know it was still all the tone of money back then yeah like just imagining that that that system costs what the Xbox one cost this generation when it launched and people thought that was too expensive right back then $200 everyone was willing to accept that price yeah anyways so the Wii had the Wii sports which was a huge reason for its success yep I had 12 Princess obviously at launch which helped bring some of the core Nintendo fans over right we're gonna buy the game for Wii sports or red steel or anything else that came out at the time yep and then it provided a way to play that looked fun looked entertaining was easy to understand so it created a fad the Wii was a fad console and fads get really really popular yep and they sync just as fast as they get popular so like the Wii's basically sold most of its 100 million consoles in the first three years yeah so it went 2006 the end of 2006 through the end of 2009 and then in 2010 that's when the sales just kind of you know yeah and that's about the time that I think the Wii U should have came out and it should have been the Wii U it should have just been no gamepad and it should have just been the Wii and HD just upgraded to 360 capabilities keep the same controllers you know with a new motion plus and just have all your games mean HD I think that would have been like what they did with the Wii U I think was a obviously mistake but if they would have did we HD in 2010 right as the momentum was starting to come down they could have really built that Monday over hate now you have all the HD TVs no night I get the new Wii yeah so you can play all your Wii games and HD right now obviously they would have these patches and below but they could have made it happen I think it would have been a smart move but that's not what they did so the Wii was was a fad it was a three-year fad kind of faded out petered out ended up topping 100 million you know buying far and away a massive success tons of games I know a lot of people look back look back at me era like hardcore Nintendo fans like oh man we are a sucks it's changed Nintendo forever yeah maybe it has you know but you know and that's one reason they're upset about switch all switch one have motion controls it wasn't for the Wii yeah but that's why most girls bad yeah right exactly I have not yet heard one legit reason because some of the motion controls are bad why because you'd rather use two sticks what good things which has that so it's like right you don't have to use motion controls but even in arms everyone freaking out they already confirmed you don't have to use motion controls and arms yeah I'm probably gonna use motion controls I think it's gonna be more fun right but if it turns out that it controls better with the standard controls and I will so for him to come out and say the switch is gonna sell as much as the Wii to me means that it's kind of a positive and a negative because it sells much as the Wii it would have to be another fad mm-hmm which means a meteoric rise for a few years and then it just tanks which I assume they have a better plan in place to maintain momentum like so having to switch to come out you know or something right but so that's that's on the positive end I guess that it's a fad that gets really really really popular and it sells a crazy the negative of that is that it will just think just as fast and the switch will go by the wayside and then right we're stuck wondering what's what's next again ten years yeah and so I don't want to say that I don't want the switch to be as successful the Wii heck I would love if it also the PlayStation 2 yeah yeah PlayStation 2 what 155 plus a million yeah I would love if it top that yeah oh yeah for sure but I think that there's two things they're gonna work against it because this isn't a topic that we have this week so I'm just gonna bring it up now that that's going to keep a shema and E.J. annual I've both stated in separate interviews now that they are not ruling out that the 3ds might have a successor so that the switch isn't home console and the handle it's just a home console you take on the goal and we are gonna have a 3ds successor okay they're not saying that's going to happen but it's something they're considering because they think they could serve two different markets apparently I don't know what market you could serve with another handheld that the switch can't do outside of making like more affordable I guess yeah I mean maybe battery life I don't but the battery life of the switch is actually on par with the new 3ds XL is it okay so it's like I know a lot of people complain about the switch better like it's actually on par with something they already have out there that everyone know no one's complaining about the battery life in the SXL right so now you're gonna complain about the better life of a home console level especially playing a lot more like yeah breath of the wild oh man you get three hours out of the game yeah well I could only get three hours or the Hyrule Warriors on the new 3ds XL so like to me it's acceptable but so there's a couple of factors here that one I think if they do release a successor to 3ds it's gonna really hurt switch sales yep so I think a lot of switch sales because of its portability factor because it's home console factor is some of it's based on the fact that they assume even though the Nintendo's never stated it that all their handheld games are gonna be coming to switch yeah even if they release a 3ds successor all the games that come on to that successor will also be on switch they haven't said that great we know there are some games that go across systems fire emblem warriors apparently gonna be on 3ds as well as switch mm-hmm okay but you know Yoshi's Willy World was on 3ds and Wii U Smash Bros. on 3ds Wii so like it's not unheard of to do this but that's not every game like there is a new game a new exclusive fire I'm a game coming to switch is a new exclusive fire I'm a game coming to 3ds mm-hmm but beyond that you know people I think buy the switch assuming next Pokemon games come into it well now if you're somebody's gonna be 3ds successor that just gives the Pokemon company a reason to not support a home console level system yep and that sucks you don't want that to be a thing yeah so I think if a 3ds successor comes up it is gonna hurt switch sales we especially in Japan where they love portable and they had huge lines for the switch and if they find out oh we're not gonna get our portable games we're not getting our monster hunter on here we're not getting our Pokemon on here I'm not getting our yokai watch that's all going to the 3ds and 3ds successor they're gonna just drop off a planet and not buy the system anymore so that's one thing I think you could hurt the sales and two I don't I almost don't want it to be that successful as a fad because I don't want it to be a fad right as fads fade right Jinko jeans nice bell bottoms wow you know like like think about the clothing fads out there the music fads you know the day of the Backstreet Boys and Synchro Britney Spears pop stars like that that era is gone now now pop it's not popular music is more like hip-hop and stuff and yeah that kind of music still exists don't give me oh yeah I mean you know every now and then you'll get one of one there's some group out there some individual they got a song really high on the list that is traditional 90s pop but they don't dominate anymore it's a fad so like I don't want this to be a fad I want this to be almost like the thing is like Nintendo doesn't have anything their history that tells me what I want it to be because I was gonna say I want this to be at the NES so 50 to 60 million units is successful not as successful as we were successful enough to get a switch to a switch 3 switch 4 before they changed things up again and the problem with that is each one of those versions sold less and less and I don't want that to be right a trend again right so I don't know what they have to do to make it be consistently successful we obviously have no idea where technology is going to be a decade from now but overall I think he probably shouldn't have said this yeah I think it gives off the wrong impression that they've been given off with the switches all time the switch is a serious system like not just the 3ds thing the switch is this system that's for adults that are busy lives that's basically what the ad I mean you know we're gonna talk about the Super Bowl ad later but you know it clearly shows adults with busy lives like yep like they keep pushing that forward like yeah it's got motion controls and all that stuff but adults with busy lives and the Wii wasn't really for a system for adults with busy lives it was for people who had time to play games at home yep in the living room with their family which hopefully that still happens for some people but reality is like now my kids are getting older they're sports all the time like oh we're on the go all the time so like yep that's what the switch makes sense for my lifestyle oh yeah so I I think it's nice to have an internal goal to try to reach Wii sales I think every company would like to know their system is going to sell 100 million units great the PlayStation 4 sales are slowing down a little bit so now that might not even hit 100 million but I don't know like it doesn't need to sell as much as the Wii to be as assessed to you no I don't know what numbers but well they said the game the GameCube was a failure according to them and that sold like 22 million right and that's what led to the Wii the Wii was obviously a bigger failure right and that led to the Switch which I know is weird because like it doesn't feel like it's big of a transition because a lot of people say the Switch is what the Wii should have been no one's saying that the Wii is what the GameCube should have been right yeah because the Wii is radically different from the GameCube so and the Switch doesn't feel radically different from the Wii it just feels like it's better presented and packaged yeah I think with all the hype that I'm hearing I even if it is a Fed I really do think that this is gonna be a good Fed a good Fed yeah I think it's gonna do well for Nintendo well I think it's nice if for some reason this is a Fed is that the primary reason it will be a Fed is because you could do your gaming at home and your gaming on the go and the primary reason you're gonna primary way you're gonna control that is gonna be with traditional controls so like even if it's a Fed it's a Fed that supports gaming as we know it today yeah it just brings it to more people right um so I think it's crazy he says gonna sell as much as the Wii publicly or that he thinks is going to uh it's fine to have that as an internal goal like I'm sure internally they want Zelda to sell over 10 million they've never had a Zelda game sell 10 million on a single console ever so I think they would love to see 10 million on the Switch which obviously they're not gonna be able to see that until some point next year unless the cells are 20 million units a year which I doubt yeah so you know if it sells 10 million this year well then you're not gonna know final Zelda numbers of it 10 million until next year for Switch but uh plus I think there's an awesome opportunity to have a Zelda bundle and a one two switch bundle this holiday really well you gotta think about it it's launching now at $2.99 with no with no game packed in by then the price of components might have come down enough that they can justify packing in a game that might not have as much sales momentum anymore one two switch makes a lot of sense for the first holiday um but I would also love to see them be like hey there's people who are waiting for Mario they can buy this Zelda bundle yeah and get Mario you know why Mario separate so they're not packaging Mario yeah that's not happening the same reason why they're not packaging Zelda now there's too much money to be made oh yeah um it's awesome as it would sell the system it's selling the system anyway yeah so like it doesn't need to be Zelda doesn't need to be packed in uh one two switch feels like a game they needed to be packed in because I don't know how many people besides maybe myself are gonna buy it yeah I I don't know it but well hopefully I don't have to buy it but uh Nintendo I keep saying I'm gonna say at every podcast till I get it I want my switch and I want my free review copies pander to me I am a whore all right


Hi, I am Dr. Vidyadara here, head of the department and consultant spine surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. See spinal problems, not everything can be prevented like say scoliosis or tumors or infections. I don't think you can actually prevent, but the commonest ones are back pain and neck pain, which are totally preventable problems because as you know pain is a mixture of both physical injury component and psychological expression of it. It is not purely physical, not purely psychological, sometimes physical component is more, sometimes psychological component is more. But if you see in the outpatient department more people, more and more people coming with lot of psychological stress. Stress in the sense, you know it is the extremes of emotions. We don't have any normal emotions anymore.  Nothing in medium levels and this causes stress on the brain and once the brain gets heated up, all the organs of the body starts misbehaving. You'll start feeling dizzyness, giddyness, breathlessness, chest pain, you know neck pain, back pain, acidity, constipation. You name it, it can come because of stress. Now, having said that, people go for one problem, one doctor, symptom specific doctors like me, who deal with only one one symptom and even at the end even say one guy gives three tablets, patient will be taking these many medicines in the morning, these many in the afternoon and these many in the night. So you'll have a patient who becomes a patient after taking the medicines on a longer term. So to prevent this, first you need to do lifestyle modifications so that you live more happier.


hello everybody and welcome back to my video log here now this is gonna be a short video and it's basically just to say that having this connector has all been well and good but what I noticed was when I connected up using this circuit one of the 60 watts into 8 ohms 100 watts into 4 ohm circuits I got a lot of bang crackle moving around the input connectors which I shouldn't have been doing while it was on and what it ended up doing was popping out one of the drivers transistors here and that in turn shorted the other transistor and when that happened unfortunately I didn't notice it straight away one it blew up well didn't blow up but it made this the capacitor here is one of these it made it pop up thought I had it here for a second but I may have thrown it now never mind I know it isn't here it is made it pop up you can see the way the top of that is swollen up there and there's a 220 ohm resistor supposed to come off the the base of this and go to ground and it also killed that turned into dust pretty much but the worst thing is this is dead easy for me to you know fix up again not a problem the worst thing that it did was one of my speakers and I show you it's down here speaker there and the other pair is at the back there but what it did was it actually killed off this cone it's not smell a vision so I can't let you smell it but it does smell or burnt out and connected so I've got to get another one of these in order for me to fix that unit and so what did I learn from it well I learned I learned now I've got to be careful especially when things are plugged in and going and this is pretty high gain I mean you get 15 volts out of this thing so it's pretty high gain and that with tough connections you know crackling connections isn't any good for these are not the genuine you know these are just bought off eBay so you know what I found with some of the base stuff is like you were the LM 1875s genuinely and I'm 1875s got short circuit protection stuff like that the ones don't maybe because that's their paint and t-d I don't know but what I've decided to do is employ some bits of kit like this now this is a speaker protector and unlike some of the other speaker protectors I was looking at which is quite a few this one doesn't require its own voltage so it works on its own and it basically goes these are threshold voltages so if DC were to come through this what it does is it looks out for DC and this capacitor will charge up in it when there's a DC state going on and that will cause these two transistors like a dyac which in turn will turn on the triac and that will then short out the connection of the speakers you see this is credit for this or anything this is Brian Powell audio you can buy these online I'm not gonna say we've got a buyer money tonight I'm just saying that because I play around with this stuff I'm glad I've picked up two of these there's another one in there left and right channel of course doesn't need its own independent power supply and it should by rights hopefully in most fault conditions use this triac to basically short my speakers so they don't have a circuit running through them which is what happened in the instance that we're talking about here and that will carry on until the voltage drops below 1 volts or that this little glass fire up fuse blows now it's a pretty good setup from what I can tell and it should not make any difference whatsoever to the sound going to the speakers because this is a very low million situation but this is what I'm going to do now in order to rectify that I'm still waiting to try and see if I can get a cone I'm not going to lie to you I'm one of the types of people I had to replace my speakers so I bought myself some of those then monitor audio they're not very expensive really I've got them in a bit of a sale and you know they're all right they give me a much better bass I mean if you know the standard bass guitar is 41 Hertz on its lowest note so the speakers that time the speakers that are there now they go down to 35 Hertz so I've been listening to some lovely some lovely audio there but yes that's it just a real short video about that a bit of a boo boo there and I'll get myself back into gear over the next few days getting more videos but together that's it that's it if you worry about your speakers we've had them pop out before these are not particularly that expensive but I've got a funny feeling they are going to be a very a very practical and worthwhile addition to my little setup if I'm going to be playing around with stuff like this okay guys thanks for watching catch you in the next one


Those midday naps those are the best ones and I just woke up from one myself But anyway YouTube team keep it clean What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and in this video the Ravens are officially at an 80 man roster Last week this time they had to go from 90 to 85 and this week this time they had to go from 85 to 80 and They did that by making the following moves yesterday. They placed Lj fort on injured reserve They waved Andre Smith, which was expected. They waved Michael Darius, which was expected, but they also waved Jordan Richards That one That one caught me a little off guard. It wasn't like this. Oh my goodness.  So I was thinking okay. All right Well, he he's gonna at least at least last till before they get to the 53 He's gonna last till at least the right before the final cut down at least and I was even thinking he probably gonna make the team but no No, so this really lets us know How this gives us this is indicative of how they feel about the young safeties And I mean Jordan Richards wasn't old, but they're younger safeties like a Geno stone Maybe like a Nardarius Washington, it's still Nigel warrior who's he's been coming along quite fine There's a so of course Anthony Levine still there too, but Hey, we'll see so gotta keep an eye out on on that, but That was the the more surprising move of yesterday, but today With them releasing Kenji Bahar That one that went through me for a little bit of a loop We always talk about how timing is everything last night shout out to my guy Garnett he hosted a Ravens town hall meeting on Twitter spaces where Just a bunch of group us were just talking Raven stuff. Y'all know how those Twitter spaces go And last night I was saying we were talking about the 53 man roster and just saw the ins and outs and how the Ravens They they be sneaking some people through it Sometimes they won't and had it gonna do the practice squad and all that but my thoughts were Kenji Because the question was asked do you think the Ravens are gonna keep three quarterbacks and I was thinking No, I think they're gonna keep two But and I was I told them boys are like me maybe it's me over analyzing it or overthinking it But at the same time with the Ravens, it ain't no such thing because the Ravens can be so sneaky with the roster The way they put this roster together the way they do it every year They sneaky with it and as a Ravens fan I mean as a football fan period you learn so much about what franchise can and what they can't do and how they can sort of Get around and find loopholes in the system You learn about it from them Ravens, especially man because they will find some loopholes But anyway, what I envisioned them doing was obviously Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley They will be the quarterbacks at the Ravens can't keep on the roster But then last week when I expected Kenji to play I was thinking oh man, well, I guess they didn't play and I know they only they gave him them a couple handoffs and kneel downs But I was like, I guess they really didn't play him last week because they want to hold him down They don't want the world to know about Kenji to like Tyler Huntley. He's out there on blast for the world to see But he's staying he's QB to that's it. It's his number and everything. So it's already been official before it was official That's all QB to But with Tyler Huntley, I mean, excuse me with Kenji Bahar I felt like they didn't want to they didn't want the world to see what he can do because they want to release him but Bring him back to the practice squad So he can be there for them just in case And there won't be anybody trying to poach him off the practice squad Just like they would do if the Ravens tried that with Tyler Huntley, which they will not And with Trace McSawley, I envision them putting him on injured reserve So But hey, we gotta wait and see what happens But this is um Very very interesting move by them with Kenji But what this also lets us know is about tomorrow now earlier We did a video where we uh did a summary of the Ravens presser that featured John Harbaugh Lamar Jackson And Ronnie Stanley And one of the things that Lamar Jackson said in that presser I was just so happy to be the title of our last video was that he wanted to play in this final preseason game He let it be known. I I want to play But it's up to coach Harbaugh And you got to think like with this being the last Yes Oh With this being the last game the last preseason game before the next time we see these boys, it's gonna be on monday night Oh, it's gonna be real now man because it's like When the games are real It's a different kind of energy man because in the streams like these preseason game streams It's been a lot of fun. Y'all been coming through for me. It's been a lot of fun But it's been sort of more of a relaxed fun more of a chill layback fun. Like, okay, that's cool Okay, nice play. Whoa, that's cool. Okay, that was nice. Oh, yeah, that's cool. That's all right Because we know that this isn't real deal yet It's not real deal yet. But when it's real deal and that season is here. It's official money night football. The world is watching But anyway back to what I was saying, um, this will be the last preseason game before it's real So with Lamar having not had played any preseason yet And them releasing kenji bahar with trace mix sorely. He ain't gonna play. He hasn't practiced him forever He's definitely not gonna play. Um It's looking like Lamar Jackson will get some action now Well, our question is how much action will he get because I was envisioning Okay, because again with this whole preseason the way that the ravens been playing this thing I don't know which way they were going to go with it Who was going to play and it was just wild Especially with it being three preseason games instead of four preseason games because y'all remember Usually in a preseason, maybe the first game starters will play Tiny tiny bit second game starters will play a tiny bit more but still a tiny tiny bit third game The starters will play a significant amount more still not too much But they will play a lot more in the third game than a fourth game. They won't play it off But now with this version of the preseason Ravens just been they've been throwing us for a loop Well, it's it's especially with Lamar Jackson because starters been playing on like defense and stuff But on offense with Lamar Jackson. He ain't been playing but the offensive line has been banged up All the all the wide receivers are banged up. It's like every last one of them are banged up So maybe that's why Um, but because maybe maybe ravens figure and now that i'm saying this out loud It maybe ravens figure that what's the point in having Lamar out there when one is no No offensive starting line, but two he's also not playing with any starting receivers because what's the sense of him not necessarily what's the sense of him getting into a rhythm with the backups but That's not even going to be the guys that he's really playing with like that Um, so maybe that's their thinking. I don't know But with I expected, uh, kenji to be playing a lot in the game on saturday too But now if you only rolling with two quarterbacks, that's it You're rolling with two quarterbacks in the final preseason game. You got to feel like lamar is definitely going to be Out there now who he's out there with The probably the starter offensive line. That's something else to watch for too Who because I would expect ronnie stanley to play now. He's like he's back And this is a lot the last dress rehearsal before it's real. So I would expect him to play maybe like a series Maybe two series. I don't think they would want to put too much on him. But even with lamar With him, but he may play only a couple of series But it does look like for sure now for even though I was for sure last week But it's really looking like for sure for sure with this transaction that Lamar Jackson is going to be playing um And he should be behind Maybe the starting offensive line I'm not sure even to have a clear cut starter at left guard yet Uh simply because they just have not gotten to see everybody together but Watch out for who they start on that offensive line at left guard this game Because the right tackle via nuyva, you know, that's gonna be him right god kevin zeidler. He's still healthy So that's gonna be him Sinner's gonna be bradley bows when left tackle is gonna be ronnie stanley. So the boys are back The boys are back Ben cleveland he's been practicing for the last two days ben powers is healthy. You got um, you just got back, uh Tyree philips today at practice. So he's healthy now, of course ben bretterson has been healthy Um, you see you got your guys that are healthy Everybody's healthy now So now you'll get to see I think I think saturday may give us may let us know like hey, okay There's your left guard depending on who they play out there So we haven't gotten to see ben cleveland in the preseason game yet. Um So I don't know man. It's just it's it's so much that's like Well, not so much that position is just it feels like it's just still up in the air right now And then that's of course what practice is for so as they go through these last Days of the preseason practice Oh, that feels good to say last days of the preseason practice Because y'all hey and and look how fast time goes y'all remember real quick just to take you back just a couple of months ago Remember when we were talking about us getting through the slow period of the off season y'all remember that because I do I do And we talked about it and so many so many videos like we getting there We getting there we moved through the slow period of off season Then we we got to the slowest period of the off season where there was absolutely nothing There was no otas. It was no mini camp. It was not training camp time yet. It was absolutely nothing But we made it We made it through it and now we almost made it through preseason And the season will be here before you know it It'll be here before you know and I and I love that we have In between the end of the preseason and the start of the regular season. I love how we have that little break I love that So we ain't gotta just jump straight into it. We get to ease into the regular season Even though once we in there, it's good. It's gonna be crazy but I like how we got that little break in between So that's time for any husbands Let your wives know.  Hey Love y'all kids son daughter, whatever. I love you Sunday's about to go. Bye. Bye. Real quick Get it out your system now whether y'all want to go to the zoo You want to go to the park you want to go to whatever No, man, you can't forget about your family even during football season But just sundae's though sundae's They know me But anyway, I love y'all team. Keep it clean I appreciate y'all and I I do really expect uh kenji to be back on the practice squad This year. I really do um and He you got to give it up to kenji because he is probably he is the uh the billy bajima of quarterbacks for the ravens He is who or somebody else that that always a press got Burgess.  We made it. This is about we we right there So appreciate y'all being patient through this through the off season Appreciate y'all being patient through the pre season and the season will be here before you know it. We out


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasegreats.com coming at you with 2020 Tops 5-Star Baseball. Eight bucks, pick your team number 31. On-card autographs, really great design, silver ink autos, gold ink autos, all sorts of great stuff, possible cut autograph opportunities, so a lot of fun stuff in this 5-Star Baseball. Thanks everyone right here for getting in. So there's no Diamondbacks on this checklist, so we didn't sell them, obviously. Thanks for hanging with me on a Saturday, PJ getting that triple last spot mojo knocking out some pretty big teams at the end. So thanks Sam, thanks everybody for making this happen, we were able to do this straight up. Two autograph cards per box, unless there's a cut auto. I don't think Babe Ruth is in this checklist, Hollywood, let's not get his hopes up falsely, but the Yankees do have a lot of cut autos, I don't think Babe Ruth is one of them though. So we'll use this blank card here to hide the hits a little bit, and the first one out of the gate is going to be Mitch Garver, that'll be for Jared, and Minnesota, like the 5-Star career bullet points that they give us. Alright, next is, ooh, that is nice. Bob Gibson gold ink autographs, 14 out of 25, golden graphs for the X-Line and the St. Louis Cardinals, sweet, good start, next box.

We'll put some blue tape right here to make sure they don't slide around. Nice, painter's tape. I think they're just slightly too big for 130 top loaders and slightly too narrow for the 180. And we've got Mauricio Dubon, another giant for Katie. Extra top loader dust in here. All right, more up front right there. There we go. Mauricio Dubon, another one for Katie. We have, wow, 7 out of 25 Derek Jeter for PJ. The hits just keep on coming, but you've got to buy a lottery ticket, PJ. The Yankees were just sitting there all day. No one wanted them.

Dun, dun, dun, dun. Mariners, that's for PJ.  Actually, all three have hit. They were just sitting there. No one wanted them. Those are the teams you should have gotten, Hollywood. Maybe next time. All right. And the last one is Nico Horner. And that's for Jonathan. Hollywood and the Cubs. Play to the whistle. A couple hits here in the end. Nico Horner, 22 out of 25. Nice little color match. Matches the color of the teams. See? Got to play to the whistle, Jonathan. Play to the whistle. He was like, oh, he was like an E-or. He was like, horrible case for me, but that's the one he wanted.
