Joanne Justice, Point Guard, Roman Catholic High School, Class of 97, East Charlesburg University, 2002 graduate, currently on Oprah Winfrey's, Ready to Love. Alan Stevens, Class of 97, Roman Catholic High School, Clarence University, currently Dean of Students at the Philadelphia Charter School. Let's talk about the physical phenom. Mr. Williamson, but now Mr. Williamson, he got other problems. Matters of the heart. No pun intended, right?  Zion Williams, there, you have what they call groupies. And then you have what's going on with Zion. What say you, Stevens? Play some games first before you start dabbling outside and having all of these issues. As a professional, this is just me, this is me. I love the game too much. I'm in the gym. I love to be in the gym. That's my favorite time. Do you have time for all of that? He can't have a social life. I'm not knocking it. How much basketball is there? Whatever social life, that's not what's name on the chair. And you putting that in jeopardy with all this outside. When did you ever stop interacting with girlfriends? You go to the gate. No, no, no, no. You go to the gate. Listen. It's not a stop though. It's a prioritizing. I got the prioritizing.  And definitely me. They're in that inbox. Boom, boom, boom, boom. They at the gate. They at the hotel door. I get it. I say this. It's inevitable for some players. I go back and I think about, you know, I era, like Sean Kemp, Sean Kemp probably got about 30 kids, right? You know, shout out to Sean Kemp. I don't know if he got 30 kids, but I'm just saying. He has a lot. He has a lot. He has a lot. More than the average man. More than the average man. Two or three times. And the reason why I think when he was going probably having those children and doing those different things, it wasn't publicized because his play. He was playing. Right. So because he was playing and producing, nobody was focused on if he was having kids or not, or his situation, and the social media wasn't as crazy back then. It's more social media. So it's a combination of that, if he was playing and he was doing this thing like he was for a little period of time. Nobody cared about if he had a girl from my Instagram. Nobody cared about if he was talking. Nobody really cared about that. I promise you. No. I didn't see it. I didn't see it.  Example. Julius Irving. Stop there. Stop. Let's stop right there. When you say Julius Irving, what's the first thing that comes to mind? What's the first thing that comes to mind? When I say Julius Irving, first thing that comes to mind? An afro and him dunking on someone. You didn't say these off-court shenanigans. That's not the first thing that came to your mind. But you didn't ask me what was the first thing that came to my mind. You didn't ask me what was the first thing that came to my mind. But that's why we're having this conversation. Because this was happening right now. But if you asked me what was the first thing that came to my mind when we were in the thick of the Julius Irving debacle on Lincoln Drive and Teddy Pendergrass in the time it was happening, I'm going to say Turquoise. That's what I would be saying. You still know Dr. J. from his basketball greatness. Right. But if you asked me within the month of what's going on first thing you think of, oh yes I would have. Like I said, playing well, playing well does a lot. It does a lot as far as the media coverage and the scrutiny. To be honest, it's a young cat, country kid, South Carolina. Teen probably isn't strong enough. The wisdom to how to deal with the ladies if that's what they're doing and how they come off, you're just not mature enough to handle it. There's no vets. I think he handled it perfectly. He's not married, right? He has more than one love interest, however you want to categorize it. One got upset that she found out that he had another young lady pregnant and she just went to social media and went to embarrass him. I thought the fact that he was able to ignore that, to not respond in a negative manner, to focus on what was most important and that's the unborn child and the future of that and even preparing for his career, kudos to him because he's trying to drag him through the mud, but he hasn't responded. Now, AI had some challenges. AI had a lot of challenges. Again, with Zion, I would say it is more so driven. Does he get credit for that is my point. Does he get credit for not responding to his PR team? That wasn't him. His PR, listen, he has a fluid, what I'm saying is, but he has a weight problem, right? You need a team inside the team.  While he's in the house, sitting on his couch, that's what you need to be surrounded with. OG. Vets. But I got you, but that's my point.  Right? No, no, I'm not talking about his weight. I'm giving that example. Equally, they can't stop him from texting, right? We haven't seen any of that, any response from him on social media. No one putting a mic in his face and getting him to respond. He deserves some credit for that. Because at any given moment, he can sit out one tweet. One tweet, yeah. And it can say, and right now, the tweets, people are screen-captured so quick that they have to you delete it because you know a lot of folks here like that. Yeah, I like to delete. But nah, they got it. You got it. So, what did you put it on? It's done. He gets no credit for that? No. No? No, I'll give it to his PR team. Okay. I mean, you've probably got a real good PR team probably coming from either probably the top executives, the Hibigay. You know what I mean? They manage all of that, bro. It's so much bigger than Miss Diaz, to be honest with that stuff. Have you ever had any challenge with, on any level? Yeah. What was it like in high school?  So, I had my son when I was a sophomore. In high school? Yeah, my son's 27 now, I'm 43. So, you know, obviously at that time it was a little more different. I mean, I didn't have the notoriety of a Zion or anybody else. So, but the challenge was still being able to step in, take care of my son, and still play at a higher level.  Right. You know, so I got to think that, okay, now I have this child, I got to be able to figure out how I'm going to do this. And I had my first job was shop right. So, I was going to shop right. So, a lot of things that, you know, my teammates and stuff. You had your first job at shop right? No, no, no, I was working at shop. Oh, you were going to shop? Yeah, working at shop right. So, this is my first job. You did say shop right? Like, it's possible. Yeah. No, no, no. See, here we go. No, just, it's going to make a turn. We're taking a shot. Okay, we're not going to shoot. We'll go take shots.  No, we can take shots. We are taking shots. So, taking shots is a play on words where we, you know, as a result of being ball players, we take shots. But this show is sponsored by one of your favorite alcohol producers, Black on One. We won't, this is a pilot right now. We won't get there just yet and let you know who they are and who we're talking with.  Yeah. Or enjoying some fine bourbon. Yeah. We're kind, yeah. So, you were saying you had a child in shop right? No, see, that's not what you're saying. See, this is the thing. What I was saying was, what I was saying was I had my first child and I had to get a job at shop right to support this child and I also had the ability to play at a high level, you know, with a dominant team. But that's my question. All right, so kudos to you for being responsible, like Zion is being responsible. But that didn't stop the girls from coming to the games and did it stop you from interacting with the girls?  It's nothing that's going to stop you from interacting with them. But ask about what you did. What I did was... What was happening in high school? What was the high school experience? You were the same team. Did you have any experiences now? Yeah. Like you're like, according to you, you're really focused on basketball 24 hours a day. No, I'm not saying it's levels to it, though. We went to practice first. We went to hoop first. And then it was, yo... What is this thing? We give you a story. We give you a story. That's what I'm talking about. We give you a story. We're not hearing that Zion is not going to practice. We're not hearing that Zion is not going to practice. We give you a high school story. Oh, let's go. We all have some stories. The way we would work, right, in high school. And at the time, we were 15, 16 years old. You went to an all-boys school. All-boys school. Four years. Four years. Okay. So we got an opportunity to... Will you say it again? Say some of us changed that. Yeah, I don't know what you mean by that. Well, I went to an all-boys school for three years. And then I demanded that we go co-ed in my senior year. And that's what we did. You demanded it. You demanded it. Go. Okay. What school was that? What's Catholic High School? For the record. And what position? Power forward. Okay. Six-two. Six-two went... Right now? Okay. Been six-two since about seeing your high school. This man just said he's six-two. You're six-four? I don't know. I would say I'm six-two. No, you're talking with six-two. No, you're just shorter than six-two. All right, so listen. So... You got him good. No. You did. You sent back. All right, so listen. When we would get together... We're going to pull up your...  I'm six-four. I'm six-four. I'm six-four. I'm six-four. Who's six-four? I'm six-four. Not him six-four. I'm definitely six-four if he's six-two. In your... I'll tell you. Both of y'all followed. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'm six-five. Oh, okay. You've been listed as six-six. He's been listed as six-six all the time. I'm not going by what's listed. We're talking about... No, no, no. Generally, I would say I'm six-three. Legitimately. No... I'm six-six. Legitimately. Legitimately. Legitimately. That I'm six-two. I'm six-four. I'm six-three. I'm six-five. I'm not six-foot.  Six-foot? How do you say five-eleven? But listen. When this is over... By the next time we come to you, we're getting on the hike during the show and proof. So I think that back when we were younger, we were on the road. We were trying to figure out... Life and girls and stuff like that being 16, 17-year-olds ranked top five in the country in 96. Get to the girls part. Yeah, what were we getting there? Okay. But I'm just saying what comes along with it. If we was West Catholic, it wouldn't have happened. None of that would have happened. So because we were Roman Catholic and we had these tournaments, I would just organize. I would just organize and just try to make sure my guys is good because we didn't want to put ourselves in a position to be jammed up. To be honest. Yeah, he told us. What? He told us. We just didn't go. What did you just say? He got to know the story. What do we just discuss? Organize. Event planning. Event planning. I've been doing it. Since 15. That's what I'm going to tell you. All right. So, go. Listen. You said... No, this... Yeah, I left off some stories. He said that he had a story. You didn't give us a story. I have no stories. That is a story. You've spoken cold. I did. You're not selling decriminate. Exactly. How do you sell decriminate? How do you sell decriminate? I'm just saying... Did you take... Let me ask you a question. Organize way.  Can you date girls in high school? Yes or no? This is a thing. We probably saw more girls on our way home than most of you got. When did you ever stop? Okay. So, I thought you had a story. Listen, friends. No, I don't... You go into the case. No, no, no. You go into the case. Listen. I don't want to stop. In relation to... It's a prioritize. I got the prioritize. You are a hundred million dollar man. And they are lined up every day in different than you and you. True. And definitely me. And my father always prioritized... Boo, boo, boo. They had to think that... So, you're fired. They're fired. What I'm saying is, what were you organizing? Organize is like... In other words, if... If you're saying like, okay, I'm about to jump... Like, now... You were just jumping the deal. You lost your virginity at minimum in the 10th grade. No, I lost my virginity waiting for it. So, I said at minimum because we know that you became a father then. That's why I said at minimum. My question to you is, what you trying to hear? No, it's not what I'm trying to hear. Because... Grab the details? No, we have no understanding. We have Zion. Okay. You're not the only guys who have played high level high school basketball. Young men who are watching this show right now. Who are navigating that level of attention. But on a different level than what you've had because they too have social media. Absolutely. So, if we can't walk them through the life experiences and share, you're worried about incriminating. Did you do something illegal? What I'm saying is... I didn't ask you. No, it wasn't me. I said so. Sean. Sean. I didn't ask you the names. We are telling stories. There's always two sides. What is your side of the story? Do you have a side of the story? So my side of the story is... On the way home, the girls that you saw. I played basketball. We ran into a plethora of young ladies. Okay. All the time. Okay. And we interacted off of that. But it never got to the point where it was bigger than the task I had. But how did you manage what I'm asking you is... I'm not joking. How did you manage young high school love interests? This is real. Did you get girls' phone numbers? Did they get your phone numbers? No, we... Did you call them? No, we didn't. How did you manage that? How did you manage that? We got the information. But the beautiful part about it was that at that age, we all stayed together. Like, in other words, we didn't really do... Like, I wouldn't go meet a girl and just do my own thing. Like, we all... If she didn't have a girlfriend or that girl didn't have a girlfriend, we didn't go. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Let me give you an example. Let me give you an example. God, give us your stories because you probably got a lot. So it's kind of like, if I meet a girl and she's feeling me, I'm not leaving him. You would. You leave everybody. Really? Everybody. You're out. Taking shots. Taking shots. Taking shots. Taking shots. Right? Shout out to them. Beautiful, crispy tequila. And for right now, we are going to have the crispest, most beautiful... Smells like a beautiful woman. It's a woman. Not my woman. Not my woman. But this is... You need to stay out of the bar. The late night bar.  This is just...


We're excited about our three picks today. We got better, excited about all eight of our picks. But today we got better, starting with the running back, Tyler, four down player, first and second down, the way he can run the ball, third down, he can catch it, he can protect, fourth down, the value he's gonna bring in the kicking game, he fits our ethos, check all the boxes, we're really excited to bring him in this building and he's excited to be here. And then Big Justin adding a big powerful offensive lineman with the right makeup, another Cedar Grove local. He said that DeAngelo's his cousin. I don't know if that's a play cousin or a real first. That's what he told me. That's what he told me. But he's excited and both those guys bringing them home and they're excited to compete for the team.   Again, top makeup, big athletic man. And so there's not a lot of man that big walking around and can move like that. So we're really excited. So again, all eight picks, three picks today, we really helped this football team. And now once the draft ends, we'll get into the eighth round and we're gonna continue to add good football players. We keep talking about our scouting staff and our coaches and all the work that goes into it. And they really grind through this free agency process as well, so I know we're gonna continue to add some good football players. So we're excited. Yeah, it's a great football player. I know you're playing a little linebacker too, right? If you'd like to inspect him, certainly he'll be in that room. Jobs are wide open, right? You know his first, second down production with all the backs, you know, it's a different game to protect an NFL. Betting on the makeup and the athletic ability and spatial awareness that he has, it's a skill, you know, things that we'll have to develop. We love his yards after contact. Love the middle makeup. I think he's a guy that should come in here. He's not contributing first, second down right away. He's a guy who hopefully helps us on fourth down. But the opportunities there, the running back room, it's wide open. Schaefer, this guy, loved his 40 time. So we select him at guard. He's a big nasty mauler. No, it's for you. I don't know if you caught that or not. But we have this. Yeah, so. Look right into his phone. I know. And then obviously Big John. So we're excited. They add, we talk about our ethos around here. That's our culture. That's the makeup. The guys that love football are competitive. Guys that have functional football intelligence that are coming here and compete. They're gonna continue to work to improve. You know, that's what we're looking for with these type of players. I thought the entire football staff, they knocked it out of the park this week. It's a really awesome. We thought about being collaborative and it's true. We got a great group in there and my hat's off to them. You like the three cone? Let's look it up. I'll let you ask Terry a question. I'll look up his three cone. She's just let him come in the, let's look it up. Just get him in the draft meetings with his notebook and be easier. He's got his anonymous scouts in the national media. He's got his anonymous scouts. Let me get his three cone. You guys can ask Terry something real quick. But when I'm looking at this overall draft class, it just seems like y'all picked a lot of guys with a chip on their shoulder. I think you'd go through and you look at Anderson. He's a guy from Montana State. Didn't have eight stars coming out of high school. Tyler, walk on. You have Angel of the Western Kentucky, Desmond Redder, who has said time and time again he plays with a chip on his shoulder. Fits Patrick, a walking tot in, not necessarily a flashy guy. Was that by design or those the type of players that you're looking for? Well, we're looking for players that have that kind of makeup and that compete that way. And so, and it's not just, we always say makeup, we're not just talking about good human beings, good people, but we want guys that get on the football field and fight and compete. And so when you're looking for those types of guys, every single one of them, I don't know if you said Drake London, but that guy's got a chip on his shoulder. Every single one of them. You know, our head coach has a chip on his shoulder and then you look in our building, the staff, there's a lot of people that, hey, we come in every day with something to prove. And so you want people around you like that. We want people in our locker room like that. We have a good locker room. We have a lot of players here that come in every day and compete. And so we need to add to that. So it's not a stretch. We try to bring in a certain type of player and couldn't be more excited about this class. Oh, three guys with an Atlanta connection. Was that by design or was that a happy accident? It's a happy accident. Happy accident? Yeah, I mean, it's always great, you know, that adds to it, but that's not the reason we drafted them. That we drafted because they're good football players and they fit what we're looking for. So D-Led, this one said this is not intellectual property because this is not a trade secret that you failed to mention as part of the fourth part of the intellectual property, but we won't worry about the detail. We won't get in the details there, but this one was a Georgia pro day. So I feel fine. This is public knowledge, right? So yeah, this is 809, 809-3 cone for your office. Is that, is that? Not at all. You gotta look at your chart and see if that, where that fits for that type. I just, I can give that away because that is public. That was at the pro day. So we got that, we got that APT, that gets shared. That gets shared. It's trade secret.  Yeah, you forgot to mention that at the fourth part, but good, nobody's counting. But Tori, that's not by design and yet, there's so many, there's so much homegrown talent in here, right? You know, so same thing after the draft. And once we start working on that eighth round, hopefully we get some more, but there's, when you go through the pool of prospects, there's a lot of good football that's played here. We've talked about high school games that we want to go to and we want to go because when you go to high school games here, you're going to be watching players that are going to be playing on Sunday. And so when you go through that process, naturally, whether they play it, one of the local schools are, but there's a lot of homegrown talent here. And so we're excited to get some in the building, yeah. Yeah, if you're on the other side. Yeah, yeah. You got the list basket game at the local, right? Yeah. Y'all didn't get the local list? No. We should, I don't know why we wouldn't just, why didn't we just invite them to the local? I don't understand why we wouldn't do that. D-Led's going to come. We're going to, we're scouting subscription service. It's unreal. Abacity, man. He's a, he's a hard-ass. Toughness and ethos. How do you identify? Is it just the tape? Is it just what they do on film? Are there certain markers you look for in the way that they play or the way that they care? It's really everything, Josh. It's body of work. You know, I mean, you're right. You're asking for a subjective, you know, grade, but that's what the scouts do a good job. It's a collateral process. You just, like anybody, when you're going to hire somebody, your resume, what are you looking for? You're looking for the standardized test, or you're looking for body of work. Know what you're getting. So it's the whole, whole makeup. How they, their habits every day. That's what you're digging into. You're looking, you're watching, collecting information. It's the total picture that, that first boots on the brown area scout that's in that building. They're talking to everyone in the building. They're watching them in practice. Author wants to know, hey, how does he practice? Right? Cause it's not just about guys that, you don't flip the switch and do it in a game. You have to do it every day. So scouts are in the schools, what's seen in practice, seeing the way they compete on the practice field, talking to everyone in that building and knowing what they get. But then, again, now you go through the process of the all-star games and the combines, the pro days, the workouts, and it's the total picture. You know, we don't have lazy scouts that just go talk to one person in the building and they tell them the stuff and they turn that into a snow. They do all their digging and continue to, and it's A to Z, but it has to come together. So like Arthur said, it's the whole picture. What do you guys for either of you when you studied Tape at home in Tyler, in addition to school records for yards and tied to the Nation leading touchdowns, put up a big number of carries this season. Did you see a guy that got stronger? I think 276 carries. Did he get stronger? Yeah, watch that ball game he played. I'll tell you everything you need to know about him. So that I'll answer that. What's your TV scout say? Yeah, his production this year, his production was unreal. Look, he's been a productive player, but this season it went to another level. Yeah, and I don't say that just because, I mean, that shows you a lot. I mean, I wasn't trying to be rude about it, just that's what we have conviction about it. So apologize, that came across as no, I wasn't trying to be curt with you, but I was just, that tells you everything. How did that finish the season? Yes, yes, yes. Okay, Matt. Yeah, so sticking with Tyler, both of you have mentioned him on third downs. He kind of suggested that maybe he was a little underutilized there just because of BYU's offense. Do you feel like there's more there to be shown? With all our players, you know, like it's great. It feels like he was underused at BYU. He's got to come here to have an opportunity to earn it. Yeah. It's good, you know, he wants to do it, but there's a lot of jobs that, job descriptions to be a running back, a lot of things we ask him to do. If he can do that, he'll make himself a very valuable player on this football team. And just his running style and just, you know, breaking tackles and just the way he plays. How does that specifically fit with the culture that you're trying to do? Yeah, I think pretty apparent to God. God likes to run through people. So, I mean, it just yards up to contact. I think he had 40, this year, he had 40 runs of 10 plus yards. So a lot of things. I mean, he can create explosive plays. He grinds out runs. To me, as a guy that gets stronger, you know, as a volume, I think that's a rare trait that a lot of people, you know, maybe value, maybe you don't. But certainly when you want to close games out, you like guys that can play strong in the fourth quarter. Yeah, and if you're smart and tough and you're going to work at your craft, you're going to take the coaching, then whether, however much you did on third downs, and you're going to continue to improve.  And so regardless of how much guys did in college, then you're going to project to do well in those areas. Scott, seems like with the guys you've added in this draft and also the veterans that you brought in, you guys are creating a lot of position battles in a very competitive environment. I'm sure that's by design. Yeah, I mean, the environment that you're looking to foster during the spring and the summer. Absolutely. The offensive line specifically, it seems like a guard and a tackle, but if it's veterans or the guy that you just brought in, could those be open competitions at several spots? Yeah, obviously you invest in certain spots. You know that. But at the end of the day, you got to produce in this business. So it's what you want. You don't want people to ever get complacent. It's a tough job. We all know that, but that's by design. Terry and his staff do a great job of doing that. They turn the roster, they look all around them, and think of the production we got last year out of guys like Rush and Penel that weren't in camp with us, and they helped us. So it's just a never-ending process.  Whatever Dila has in the depth chart, he's gonna roll with it. And you let Desmond compete, but do you see value in getting Desmond on the field this year in some role, just so you know what you've got?  We'll see what it looks like when it gets here. Like I said, with all of our guys, you know, we gotta see what he looks like. You gotta go earn a job. If you're asking if we're gonna all of a sudden put a package in for him, we'll see, we got a long way to go until September. So I'm not gonna sit up here and speculate right now. But do you feel like you need to see what it looks like in a game as you think about your long-term quarterback plan? So yeah, it works out.  We'll let it play out. We know what we wanna see behind scenes, but it'll play itself out. You guys will be able to watch it. Yeah, yeah, I'm actually looking forward to putting these new people in there. Can't wait. Yeah, can't wait until after training. That's how Terry and I, when we go over a schedule, we wait for yours first. Justin Schaefer, I don't know where to put him. We play left and right. Where do you think he fits best? Well, he played left and right, so I would start there. I don't know if he needs to, can't you only get so many people active? You gotta have a center too, so he's gotta probably do that. But I would probably leave him at left. Again, I just think we should just bring him in the staff room for the meetings when we're talking about those discussions. I'll call Zayden. So wait. If I put him at left, then I should put Mayfield at right. Tap him and have a war over there. See, he's going through it right now. Yeah, counting on the other guys that we brought in too. You're already counting out the other guys? No, no, I want to fight. I want to competition. Yeah, we want competition. Competition everywhere, yeah. Josh was asking about the quarterback. Yeah, a lot of winning, a lot of winning. I mean, just overall, just some more overall comments. Look, you know, strong, you know, it looked like strong class that still go address the needs, even though you say we're going best player available. So that's kind of best of both worlds. It looks like from, you know, a quick review. You do that by design? Hmm? You do that by design? By design, that's kind of what you're trying to do. But look, author said it, that, hey, we always want to take the best player off the board and you don't want to reach. And yet, when you're going through the board, your times and you're going to have players in the same category and you can lean more towards a certain position. But yeah, we had a plan coming into the day. And are coming into Thursday. And we're really excited. We couldn't be more excited right now. And again, this eighth round, we're going to keep adding players. There's still some good football players. When we turned in our last card, there was more football players in that board that we're going to work hard to get if they don't get drafted. So we're excited. We really are. Y'all call it the eighth round? Yeah, eighth round picks, right? And once they get here, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how they got here. It's, like we said, it's competition at every position. Charles, did you need to get through the draft to make your final determinations about fifth year decisions on contracts? Oh, no, no, no, we didn't need to. We've constantly talked about it. And so, no, the draft wasn't going to affect that decision. No, no, you know, we got to talk about it. I don't ever fall at you guys for trying. I appreciate it. You guys got a hard job. And one thing I will say, you guys got a hard job. There's certain things we want to, Terry's got a process he's going to go through, and we're going to stick to it. Don't ever, don't ever mind you guys asking all. Is this a time of the year that you and your staff really like now that you have these draft picks in, and you can start working with them in teaching schemes and building and developing? Yeah, I get fired up. You see, you know, it's what we get paid to do. That's what we're passionate about. You know, they line the fields down. You know, you get to do a little bit of phase two work, and we'll get into OTAs as we build up to get ready to go for training camp. Kate had on a Drake London USC jersey. Did you get that for him? I did. You did? Yeah, I got that for him.  So I got it for him, but I told him he couldn't put it on until if we drafted him. He couldn't wear it to school until we saw if we drafted him or not. So he was excited to wear it. Nice. What's it like having him in the word? It's so special. Like we said, our families, we want them around as much as possible. We're a family organization just last weekend, or weekend before last. Author had his boys up here. We run around the football field, playing catch with them. And it's important. We, the coaches, the scouts, the whole staff, everybody in the building works hard. And so you've got to have your families around. They've got to be a part of it. Because it's funny, we all say balance. We want to have balance. It's not balanced when you do these things. You can't really be balanced. But you've got to have your family to be a part of it. And we have a great organization that is what there's probably some places where it wouldn't be normal to have a 10-year-old run around the draft room. But starting with Arthur, he's obviously a big time family guy, and Arthur Smith, family guy. And so in the leadership of the organization, Rich McKay, family guy, when that's the leadership of the organization, then it's normal for families to be around. And that means a lot. That's the kind of organization I want to be a part of. The scouting process is so long. What's it like to get to this point right here? Is it a sight of what's it like to get to this point now, after all the work by so many people that have been put in to make these picks? Yeah, it's, again, man, it's really exciting. We spend so much time talking about these guys and working with these guys. And again, so many scouts that work so hard and coaches and staff that work through a hard through this process. And you really get to know these players, and you want them.   So it's really exciting because you know them. And so now you get them in the building and get going. It's exciting. Did you order that drink, Lyndon Dershey? No, he can't disclose that. Come on. He opened the door. I know he did. He opened the door. He opened the door. Thing else? Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. I was the only thing I was when I had big Liam up here. We didn't have the sleds out here yet, my two-year-old. He's a center. He's going to be a center, so it's funny. So we were running around out there, but he kept wanting, and we were playing outside, and big Liam kept wanting to go inside. What's Liam, too? Two years old, he kept wanting to go inside. I'm like, what does he want? So I finally opened the door for him. He runs right to the O-line room, and he runs to a drawer and opens it up, and it's where all the snacks are. And he starts getting snacks. I'm like, how does he instinctively know where the O-line room is and where the snacks are? He's the center. He's going to be the center. Sorry. There you go. That's fun. It's good. Yeah. I like it. Appreciate it, guys. Good? Yeah. All right. Thanks, guys.


Personal Finance PowerPoint Presentation, Bind On Margin. Prepare to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. Most of this information comes from Investopedia, Bind On Margin, which you can find online. Take a look at the references, resources, continue your research from there. This is by James Chen, updated April 21, 2021 in prior presentations. We've been looking at investment goals, strategies, tools, keeping in mind the two major categories of investments, that being the fixed income, typically the bonds and the equities, typically the common stock. Also keeping in mind our investment tools, which could include things like mutual funds and ETFs helping us to pool our investments together for diversification. Strategies for investing might differ then if investing in individual stocks, in which case we might be drilling down on the financial statements of those individual stocks doing racial analysis and trend analysis on them. Keeping that in mind, we're now asking, what is buying on margin? Buying on margin occurs when an investor buys an asset or borrowing the balance from a bank or broker. So when we're going to be buying on margin, we're buying basically with not our money, not with cash for example, but we're borrowing funds in some way to do it. We're basically leveraging the purchase, which could have some benefits, but of course could have some drawbacks, possible for gains with regards to buying on margin, but also possible to amplify losses or downsides. We've got to be very careful with it. So buying on margin refers to the initial payment made to the broker for the asset. For example, 10% down and 90% financed. So you can kind of understand these terms with regards to a lot of people's biggest investment, which is usually like their home, which in that case you're investing in the home. Obviously when we buy a home for example, we're purchasing it for our own use often times, but we could also think about it as an investment.  In that case, generally because most people can't afford the full purchase of the home, but you have a similar kind of scenario here from an investment standpoint. So if the home goes up in value, then of course you have a huge benefit because you were able to not only put the money that you could afford the cash in place, but you also financed it so that you kind of got a return on investments that you didn't really have in the first place, which could be great. It can amplify your gains, but on the flip side, if the home goes down in value, then it can amplify the losses when you have this leverage component in place. So the investor uses the marginable securities on their broker account as collateral. So the security itself then being the collateral in a similar way is kind of like the home, of course, would be the collateral in the purchase of a home type of situation. Collateral meaning that if you default on paying back then the loan, then the investment is the collateral on that to secure the person that's giving the loan, the financial institution giving the loan. The buying power an investor has in their brokerage account reflects the total dollar amount of purchases they can make with any margin capacity. Short sellers of stock use margin to trade shares. Understanding buying on margin, the Federal Reserve Board sets the margins securities. So as of 2019, the board requires an investor to fund at least 50% of a securities purchase price with cash. The investor may borrow the remaining 50% from a broker or a dealer. As with any loan, when an investor buys securities on margin, they must eventually pay back the money borrowed plus interest, which varies by brokerage firm on a given loan amount. Monthly interest on the principal is charged to an investor's brokerage account. Essentially buying on margin implies an individual is investing with borrowed money. So again, you might think of that as kind of counterproductive because we face a similar kind of situation when we think about investing in general that we've talked about in prior presentations, question being should I pay down the debt that I currently have and or should I invest at this point in time? Obviously if you have debt that has high rates that you're paying like credit card payments that are charging high rates of interest, then it might be more beneficial to pay down the debt. But if you have some debt that has low amounts of interest possibly due to import tax related to it or tax benefits the home mortgage for example, then you might say I'm going to keep the debt for example on that to keep paying that down and possibly put then the investments into the market thinking that you might be receiving a gain higher than what you can pay off on the loan. When you're buying on margin, you can have a kind of a similar kind of thought process if you think the investment is going to go up in the future. If you could predict the future and say I know that this investment is going to increase in value greatly, then you would like to put as much money on it as possible generally and if you could borrow the money to do that if it was a guaranteed type of thing and then get the return on the investment clearing or getting an amount over and above the interest, the rent that you have to pay on the loan, then that would be a beneficial thing but obviously nothing's guaranteed in the future. So although there are benefits, the practice is thus risky for the investor with limited funds. So how buying on margin works? To see how buying on margin works, we are going to simplify the process by taking out the monthly interest costs. So let's first think about it without the interest. The interest of course is the rent on the borrowing of the money. So although interest does impact returns and losses, it is not as significant as the margin principle itself. Consider an investor who purchases 100 shares of company XYZ stock at $100 per share. The investor funds half the purchase price with their own money and buys the other half on margin bringing the initial cash outlight to $5,000. So one year later, the share price rises to $200. So that's great because now we put our investment in place and the stock rose in value. So that was like a good play on our part. The investor sells the shares for $20,000 and pays back the brokerage of the $5,000 borrowed for the initial investment. Ultimately in this case, the investor triples their money making $15,000 on a $5,000 investment. Again, this is kind of similar to what you might see in like a home situation where people's house goes up in value and it's like, wow, that was amazing, you know, return that they got on it. Well, that's because they made like $100,000 investment on $20,000, right? Because they only put $20,000 down and the market went up and you had a whole lot more money than you actually owned investing, which amplified the return. Now, again, of course, if it went down, if the market went down, then it could amplify the losses on the downside. So there's risk involved in that as well. Many people could argue on the housing market, well, houses don't go down as often or so on and so forth, but they do sometimes and when you're completely leveraged or overleveraged, then there could be a problem. So there's a question of what's going to be the optimal leverage amount to work with, for example. So if the investor had purchased the same number of shares using their own money, they would only have a double their investment from $5,000 to $10,000. Now, consider that instead of doubling after a year, the share price falls by $50, so that's not good for the leverage. So the investor sells at a loss and receives $5,000. Since this equals the amount owed to the bank, the investor loses 100% of their investment. If the investor had not used margin for the initial investment, the investor would still have lost money, but they would only have lost 50% of their investment, $2,500 instead of $5,000. So you can see how the risk and reward kind of pays off on it. People can get overextended when they get into this leverage kind of situation, as you can see with kind of flipping situations in the homes on the housing market as well. When things are going good, people are rolling high and highly leveraged, but when there is a drawback in the market or when things go bad, if you're not careful, then you can get a severe hit that could affect the cash flow greatly, so you want to be careful. So how to buy on margin? The broker sets the minimum or initial margin and the maintenance margin that must exist in the account before the investor can begin buying on margin. The amount is based largely on the investor's credit worthiness. A maintenance margin is required of the broker, which is a minimum balance that must be retained in the investor's brokerage account. So you've got to have some money in there. Suppose an investor deposits $15,000 and the maintenance margin is 50% or $7,500. If the investor's equity dips below $7,500, the investor may receive a margin call. At this point, the investor is required by the broker to deposit funds to bring the balance in the account to the required maintenance margin. The investor can deposit cash or sell securities purchased with borrowed funds. If the investor does not comply, the broker may sell off the investments held by the investor and restore the maintenance margin. Who should buy on margin? Generally speaking, buying on margin is not for beginners. So typically if you're just putting money in for retirement to the old 401k plan or the IRA, then buying on margin usually isn't a strategy you want to be taking, because usually there you are a long-term investor typically and you're trying to get value through a long-term growth in the market. So it requires a certain amount of risk tolerance and any trade using margin needs to be closely monitored. So clearly when you buy on margin and you've got that leverage in place, then you're going to be a lot more active in the investment process than generally if you're more of a passive investor, say investing for a long-term plan like retirement. Seeing a start portfolio lose and gain value over time is often stressful enough for people without the added leverage. So notice again, a normal investor long-term time horizon is probably best strategy to put the money in there with a secure plan and then not be stressed out on the day-to-day fluctuations, because if you're looking at the day-to-day fluctuations, you're not really a long-term investor there, you're looking at shorter time horizons and if you're doing that, you want to make sure that you're doing that mindfully and thinking about gains and losses during that timeframe that you're focused in on. So furthermore, the high potential for loss during a stock market crash makes buying on margin particularly risky for even the most experienced investor. However, some types of trading such as commodity futures trading are almost always purchased using margin while other securities such as options contracts have traditionally been purchased using all cash. Buyers of options can now buy equity options and equity index options on margin provided the option has more than nine months until expiration. The initial maintenance margin requirement is 75% of the cost market value of a listed long-term equity or equity index put or call option. For most individual investors primarily focused on stocks and bonds, buying on margin introduces an unnecessary level of risk.


Now, let us discuss with the about pore solution sampling. I intend to spend enough time today regarding this particular sub topic, because later on you will realize that this is a very good technique to understand what type of interaction has occurred between soils and contaminants. So, the logic which comes to my mind is that the pore solution sampling is identical to blood sampling of a patient. So, modern day what is happening in our medicine? This is what pathological examination is all about, is it not? And then based on blood sampling, you diagnose the disease and then recommend some medication, observation and all those things which we have already discussed. So, this is a prerequisite for soil water contaminant interaction studies. You must appreciate one point that there are two perceptions of defining soil contaminant interaction. One is whatever is retained in the pore solution and whatever is retained on the soil grains, is this clear? When soil is interacting with contaminant, certain fraction will remain in the liquid phase in the pore solution. Now, these fellows could not get adhere to the soil grain because of whatever, clear? And the second category is whatever gets adhere to the grains of the soil mass. So, these are two perceptions based on which you can further study soil water contaminant interaction. So, the simplest form is if you take out the pore solution, analyze what is the concentration of cations present in it and you can say the soil is contaminated to this extent. The second perspective we will be talking when we will be discussing sorption, capacitive of soil mass. That means, what amount of concentration of cations gets sobbed onto the material. So, this I will be studying in sorption, desorption studies or I will be discussing that. This is quite clear. The best application of this type of studies is to predict transport or fate of contaminants in the soil mass. Do you agree with the word that fate of contaminants? Normally you go to an astrologer to say what is my fate is it not what is stored in my future. So, why do people use the word fate of contaminants? Any guess? Good. Good. The latitude is almost good. That is correct. Transport is a easy phenomena. Whatever you pour on the soil mass, it simply gets percolated out and as if nothing has happened to the system, you would have been lucky if this type of situation prevails in most of the cases. But truly speaking, soil is active, contaminants are hyperactive. So, this type of situation will not occur so easily. Now, this is where you start talking about what happens to the contaminant when they get trapped in the matrix of the porous system. So, when you use the word what happens, this is nothing but the fate. So, they may decay there, they may multiply there, they may degenerate there, they may do something more wonderful. Now, this is what people are trying to understand that what ultimately happens to contaminants when they interact with soil mass. So, this becomes a very interesting phenomena to study and to capture. Similarly, if you are let us say setting up a power plant or industry or nuclear power station, the first question is that how far I should draw a boundary so that no population should be within this limits. How would it mean this? There has to be some mathematical modeling, there has to be some in situ observations to be conducted so that you can define that yes up to 25 kilometers from this point onwards, there should not be any populace because this is a danger zone. Now, this is where actually people talk about prediction of transport of contaminants. So, these are two very interesting sites of the coin I would say, where most of the time people try to understand either the transport mechanism or they try to understand what happens to the contaminant and the porous system because of this interaction. So, it is a very wide topic, very very wide topic. So, here you can create four type of situations passive soil, passive contaminants, active soil, active contaminants and the combination ok. So, this is what our friend, see universe is trying to do, is he here? I cannot see him. So, universe you agree with this? This is what you are trying to work on. It is a pure philosophy, he is trying to conceptualize and conceive this idea and then show in numerical terms that yes this type of interaction can be captured. Not photographically, but mathematically. Another good application is that it should be a very good methodology to design suitable containment and barrier systems, whether your barriers and containment are working properly or not. So, you think of a situation that below every containment or a barrier system, if you can take a dose of the leachates or whatever is coming out and if you analyze it and if you see that the concentrations are alarming, that means, your barrier system has already failed. Just like your blood sugar going very high, what doctor does? Immediately cautions you do not do this, do not consume sweets and so on. Immediately you have to take some actions to stop this type of transport out of the leachate facilities or the landfills. So, this is where actually safe disposal limits come in the picture. The basic question which I had in my mind when I was when I started my studies on this topic is that how this disposal limits are quantified, how these guidelines are prepared, is it not? So, basically it is based on observation or based on experience. So, all the guidelines are based on experience or the observations in terms of quantity and concentration of the leachates which are coming out of the system. Now, incidentally this can also help you in determining the leaching properties and attenuation properties of the soils. So, leaching is nothing, but if you add fresh water to the soil mass, whatever free ions may come out of this is leaching. So, this is leaching out of the elements from the soil matrix. Normally this type of thing will happen when soils are heavily contaminated alright, then only leaching will take place. So, the second thing which you are talking about is the attenuation characteristics of the soils. So, attenuation characteristics of the soil what it indicates is that whatever contaminants you are pouring on the soil sample they remain captured in the soil mass attenuation alright, stopping property of the soils. Now, these type of studies will also be very significant and useful when you talk about intrusion of pollutants in the groundwater resources. What is the dose of the contaminants which is migrating into the freshwater supply? So, some of you or maybe some other researchers they are trying to understand the ingress of salt water in the freshwater supply. So, the best thing is you sample a pore solution and then see what type of chloride ions are present in the freshwater supply and whether you require some containment of the barrier system to stop this type of process. Prediction of the loss of the nutrients from the root zone. So, you can think of devising some instruments or maybe electronics or Q-tree where the moment nutrients leach out from the root zones there should be a sort of a alarm system. Now, this type of alarm system is also placed below the landfill liners. So, the moment concentration of the leachate increases there is a alarm and then you get enough time to correct this. Detection of the microbial activity in the soil. What type of microbial degeneration are taking place in the soil mass? This can also be checked. Microbial activity will normally decompose the soil mass and once the decomposition takes place there could be some elements which may leach out of the soil matrix. So, this is how the microbial activities can also be studied in the soil with the help of pore solution sampling techniques and the best thing you can do is you can validate the solid transport models particularly mathematical models. The biggest question is the type of mathematical models which are being used by the professionals whether they are accurate or not clear. Now, this is where the question is how to select the parameters which are going to be in the mathematical models. So, for getting this mathematical model parameters you have to conduct some field instrumentation or laboratory instrumentation. Then whatever results you are getting from the mathematical models you can always check by observations in situ observations. So, this is a very hot topic for research you know in the 21st century and then if your models are not matching with the field observations the critical commentary what is why it is so happening and in what way the mathematical model should be refined or in what way the detection technique should be refined you know then this becomes a two sided problem. So, one side you try to modify mathematical models and the parameter estimation. So, this becomes a very challenging task. Let us discuss a bit about sampling techniques. The first category of sampling techniques is in situ or the field and the second broad category is laboratory alright. So, in in situ techniques normally we go for lysimeters. I have discussed this in previous lecture I had shown you one or two slides today I will be discussing in details how lysimeters are designed, how they are installed and ultimately what is the basic idea of doing lysimeter studies that means to collect the pore solution and the moment you have collected the pore solution you know what is the extent of contamination and what is the extent of soil contaminant interaction which has already gone through. So, when we talk about lysimeters there are two categories of lysimeters one is zero tension lysimeter another one is tension lysimeters. In your perception what is meant by zero tension lysimeter and tension lysimeter and what is the difference between the two yes please Sneha, Sangita why is the word tension being used there Ravi some guess at least you are very close very good please think again and answer you are very close that something is applied to collect the pore solution that is right. Now what is that you are going to apply very good. So, suction that means depending upon the state of the soil there could be either free drainage which happens mostly in saturated soil mass or if the soil happens to be unsaturated there you have to apply suction to collect the samples. So, you are quite close very good Binnell and Jan when you talk about in C2 instrumentation sometimes soil salinity sensors are also used. So, these sensors basically tell you how salinity soil masses is it not. So, again your electrical conductivity will be different for soils which have more salts in them. So, if you do a if you perform it as let us say in runoff catch where you have mostly brackish water where the electrical conductivities will be very very high as compared to normal water. So, this is where you can easily find out that soil solution has more of chloride ions or salts and hence the conductivities are very high alright. Sometimes absorption techniques are also used I will cover these techniques bit in details in today's lecture. As far as laboratory is concerned we normally talk about centrifugation technique to drain out water from the soil mass. And then most common technique is pressure membrane extractor PME you apply some pressure squeeze out water from the soil mass whatever pore solution gets collected analyze it by ICP, ICP MS or by atomic absorption spectrophotometer it is ok. So, broadly we have two categories when this field another one is laboratory. So, let us start with the in C2 studies basically lysimeters are designed for in C2 studies. Agricultural scientists were the first to use lysimeters, but slowly and slowly we have encouraged upon their expertise. And hopefully you will understand that why we have entered into this field we means geotechnical engineers. The basic objective of these studies is to simulate disposal facility in a control volume. What is the disposal facility? Disposal facility is nothing, but a repository where the waste is being dumped alright. So, the basic intention is to find out guidelines what should be the proper dose which should not be crossed otherwise the ground water the soil will become contaminated and there will be an impact on environment directly. So, what you are doing is you are trying to simulate disposal facilities in a control volume. How waste should be disposed on the soil or in the soil in the best possible manner. So, that it does not hamper the atmosphere sorry environment. Now, when you are doing this hope you will agree with the fact that moisture movement is the biggest culprit. Because the waste will come in contact with water and then along with the water the species of the contaminants will get leached out and they will migrate into the soil mass contaminating the environment. And then second issue is the concentration of the contaminants. What is the concentration which is getting leached out? Now, this is where environmental geotechnical technology has to play a very important role. Suppose if I tell you that your disposal facility happens to be located in the heart of the city. So, you do not want to take any chances that there should not be any movement of moisture from the system and there should not be any concentration of contaminant moving out of the facility clear. So, this is where the geotechnics of landfills, liners, geotextiles, liners, systems, GCL and all this comes into the picture. So, this is where geotechnical engineering takes over what has been done by agricultural scientists. Their primary aim was what should be the dose of the pesticides or the fertilizers which should be used so that excessive leaching does not takes place into the geoenvironment. So, the obvious answer is if you want to do in-situ studies the best thing is you create a lysimeter. One more thing I want to tell you at this stage is the lysimeter can also be replicated in the laboratory at a miniature level. Of course, it will have it is own limitations, but yes you can take the same soil from the in-situ. You can remold it to the same conditions and you can do a study at a smaller level of volume level. So, what is the lysimeter? Lysimeter is a device which collects and senses percolating water through soil mass and it helps in determining the concentration of water soluble contaminants. The meaning of the word lysi is nothing but whatever secretes out or whatever moves out and meter is nothing but the one which is going to check this or measure it. So, it is a device which collects and senses percolating water through the soil mass and helps in determining the concentration of water soluble contaminants. There is a limitation whatever is soluble in water will only come out and what is not whatever soluble will not come out. And the basic idea of doing this study is that I want a solution in the time space domain. A good example of where which I should cite over here is when you solve consolidation equation, you solve this equation for pore water pressure as a function of x and t. So, at a given depth after a given time what is the pore pressure which is still remaining in the sample. The same thing I can modify I can replace you by the concentration and my question is if there is a facility where the waste is being disposed what is the concentration at a certain distance at a given time. And this concentration has to be less than the permissible limit of the concentration. Then your facility can work very well and everybody is going to be happy with you. This can be a reverse problem also at a given time what is the concentration at a given distance what is the concentration. I hope you can understand this point whatever pore solution is coming out yes take see this is the facility and something is leaching out of this. I want to find out at a given time at a distance of x what is the concentration C t and this concentration should be much less than the permissible limit. I have several ways of doing this either I can check the concentration at this point itself by using a lysimeter. I can do a bore lock over here take sample of the soil make their solution again test what is the concentration that is one of the ways is a destructive method. I can devise another technique by using a probe I can find out what is the concentration at this point at this point at this point at this point and so on. So, I will be having a concentration profile like this agreed. So, this will be for a given time I can do it in a domain of distance at a given distance how the concentration is changing. So, that also I can find out. So, that becomes a reverse problem it changes according to a scale. That is right correct there could be a special variation of the concentration that is right. So, again you have to normalize these special concentration variation and then you have to come up with a representative number most probably. So, you have whatever variation is because this is going to happen in plan in the whole domain. So, this is the plan I can find out concentrations all over and then I can go for some normalization and averaging of the values. So, the basic idea is I should get some concentration which is representative at a given distance even if I know the concentration at this point I can use some mathematical models to check what is the concentration at this point. So, this becomes a very good mathematical modeling problem. Now, again the question is for doing this type of mathematical modeling how you are going to generate the input parameters and that is the challenge this is what most of the hydro geologists are doing. So, they go for different bore logging they collect the water sample soil course and they generate from both the perceptions what is the concentration of ions present in the water as well as in the soil samples. This becomes a holistic modeling exercise is this ok any other point which confirm my. So, ultimately what we are doing right now is we are trying to understand a phenomena we are understanding the physics of the phenomena then slowly and slowly all this physics part will take help from the mathematics to do the modeling. So, that answer to a real life situation can be obtained that is the philosophy is clear.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. I wanna talk about the team of the year market crash. It's not here yet, but I wanna talk about what I could see coming in the next couple of days with this week and the Excel app that is going on. Talk about the prices of specifically some out-of-packs cards, how they're higher than what they used to be. As we go through this week, second team of headliners. Headliners set two is out. I wanna talk about how this is affecting the market, how the market is feeling right now as we head towards team of the year because a lot of people, team of the year is, you know, it's in their mind, but it's not here yet, and I think that's gonna impact some people's sell-off this week. They're probably gonna start selling some cards out of their club, and some stuff, as we know, we were expecting team of the year at the beginning of January. We got headliners instead, and now we've seen some stuff really rebound back, and the market has been pretty high, especially Friday, a little bit of Saturday of this past couple days, of this past weekend, and I think at again, I think again, this weekend's gonna be the beginning of that, again, that sell-off that is gonna be coming before team of the year. Of course, when we actually get information on when team of the year is going to be, we will probably see more of that sell-off, but I wanna look at headliner prices today and other out-of-pack specials as we see a nice little weakling sell-off happening right now in this game. We also had a team of the year card design that was supposedly leaked. Now, I'm taking this with a grain of salt, but people are saying that this is the legit EA account. I'm not sure what language that is, but I saw a lot of people talking about this today, and supposedly this was from a legit EA Sports FIFA account, and that will be the FIFA 21 team of the year card design. In my opinion, I like the one last year better. If that is the actual one, I kinda like last year's better, I'll say. I like just the way there was the stuff on the outside. It just looked really regal. I remember describing the team of the year card design last year as regal and king-like, right? Which should be the way it is for a team of the years. This one looks okay. I think I like last year's better. So I'm kinda hoping that this one's not real, but supposedly it is. So get ready to see cards like that in this game. Also, I wanna take a look at some of the market indexes, some of these out-of-pack specials, and headliners from team number two, because these guys are bouncing all over the place. If you timed it right yesterday, you made big money. They might rebound a little bit into the morning today on Sunday as well, so we'll talk about that. And I still think even though the market is in a downturn, I still think there's gonna be an opportunity to buy some cards tonight during squad battle rewards and then see them rise up a little bit into Monday, Tuesday time frame. Even though the market is downtrending as a whole, I think you might still see a time period where you could buy some cards tonight, see them rise a little bit into Monday, Tuesday, depending on the content we get. As this market still seems decently healthy to me, but it's the beginning of that team of the year crash that I think we're gonna be seeing even with the sell-off this weekend, and especially if you are somebody who's got some cards in your team. Now, I'm not one of those people that has special cards in my team that are out-of-packs, that are very valuable, very meta players. I'm not somebody that's gonna be selling some of those cards, because I don't have many in my team, but if you have a card like a record-breaker Jamie Vardy, I mean, we're gonna look through a lot of special cards today, right? Road to the finals, some of those players, I think, are still a little bit inflated. This Kula Bali card is one I'm really keeping my eye on as one of the best center-backs in this area as a live item as well. He fluctuates a lot, he's down to 505,000 coins, probably goes a little bit lower today, and I just wanna show you guys that a lot of prices on this market, they're a lot higher than what they were, right? Let's take a look at this Jamie Vardy once again. This is why I think you're gonna start seeing what I could call the start of the team of the year crash, is because we now have a date when voting is gonna end, and that is a week from tomorrow, the 18th of January. This Jamie Vardy was 440,000 coins all of last week at the beginning of January, when we thought team of the year was actually gonna be coming, right? We get headliners and stuff like that, he bounces back up almost to 500K, just because of the fact that there is no team of the year coming just yet. Don't think it's just that card, it's a lot of cards, right? Lewandowski was around 250,000 coins, rises up to 280,290 in the past few days, and you can honestly look across the whole market and look at a lot of road to the finals, a lot of out-of-packs informs, freeze cards have been rising and continually rising, fluctuating down and back and forth, right? Allen St. Maxim was 900K flat on Wednesday, I think it was. He was up over a million coins, back down to 959. Usman Dembele is down a bit, this Goosens card was over 100K, he's down, Keelini's down like 15,000 coins as well. It's team of the group stage cards, man. Some of these guys are still high though, right? Some of these cards are still kind of high. Rashford 960, that's up. Messi at 148, this guy was 135 last week during headliners team one, the first week before headliners team one, we did not know that team of the year was not gonna be coming and it was delayed. Check this out, Messi was down here in the 14 lows, he's bounced back to being almost 1.5 mil. This entire weekend. This Bruno card is up about 70,000 coins. This De Bruyne is up 50, 60K, this Sterling is up 10, 15,000 coins as well. So obviously some of the cards have been affected like Hernandez, Diego Carlos, Kimmich, they have been affected by other cards that have come out in this game, but a lot of the cards that haven't been, that are just kind of, I guess you could say chilling, are still kind of high. And I think this is an opportunity for where you might be able to cash out on some of that stuff before it continues to go lower. This Bebu card was like 150s, low 150s. Even in the 140s, I believe, last week, it doesn't show it here, but he was 150s for a day. He's been consistently in the 170s, so just up a little bit. This poor two card is up as well. I mean, even this Hazard, 90 rated, row to the final, Ed and Hazard man. He's been around the lower 800 range. Looks like he's just fluctuating a bit right now up at 860. But if you look through a lot of these special teams, a lot of the players are up a little bit from where they were. They were lower, now they're up a little bit. Some of these rule breakers are getting demolished though right now. Himana is 184, that's pretty cheap. 105 for Tashara, Royce is up a lot, of course. That might be a fluctuation, but also because of Holland. Lukaku is down, Podens is down, Van Aan holds even down a decent amount. But some stuff got really high this weekend, and if you were able to cash out GG, and I still think there's an opportunity to cash out on some of the stuff, because I think you see, for just about every single card in this market, I think you see it go lower throughout, maybe not during the week this week, but especially after week in league next weekend, is when you're really gonna start to see stuff go down. Especially when we get the news, when team of the year actually is coming out. Then you'll start to see again, some more sell off, some more panic selling, some undercuts, and prices just dropping. Especially on gold cards, right? And BAP8888, Neymar 681, these guys continue to drop lower, and they're still going lower. If there's any of these cards, right? Meta-golds that you want, hold off from buying those right now, because in my opinion, they continue to drop lower, they still go lower, as we head into that team of the year official announcement timeframe. That's kind of my opinion. Now, if you wanna mess around with some of these headliner cards, I still think there's enough hype in the market around these guys to make them bounce around. I still feel like a guy like Gretzger over here at 520K, he was 500K earlier tonight. These guys might rise up a bit into the morning this morning on Sunday. This Gretzger at 500K was too cheap. That was very cheap tonight. I was not able to get on that one. Also, Holland scored a goal today. I'll show you guys my transfer list in a second, but this guy scored two goals, and it looks like his card is bouncing back, but he was back down to like 550 or 560, I believe. Now he's 570. These cards are still pretty rare, which is why you see them bounce around so much. If you guys were on the stream today, you probably saw that I had some Gretzgers and Hollands. I bought these Gretzgers at 615, sold them at 580, took my loss there, and I sold this Holland right in the first few minutes of the game that he was playing yesterday on Saturday, because I was not gonna be able to watch the market in the afternoon on Saturday, so I just took the coin. So overall here, I definitely did lose somewhere around like 50K, but not selling these Gretzgers in a panic for 530,000 coins, 520 was big, right? That minimized my loss big time, and we talked about it a lot yesterday on stream, is that even though sometimes flipping these promo cards is very risky, and as we found out today, it was profitable, but the way we were trying to time it last night was not the right way to do it, especially because of all the panic selling that happened. If you wanna take a look at Gretzgers graph, I can show you guys what happened on Saturday. So I bought Gretzger down here at 616, right? He rebounded to 660. I had mine listed for 670, man. I got this close to completing the flip. He went all the way back down to 520. 520 is where his lowest was. He rebounded back to almost 600,000 coins. This is PlayStation, mind you, this is PlayStation. Xbox, he didn't have as much of a fluctuation, but now he was back down tonight to 500K flat, and he's rebounded since then back up to 530. So if I see 500K flat again for the Skrezger, I think that's too cheap. I will probably go in and flip some more because Skrezger and Holland are two of the most hyped up players in this promo. So now same thing happened with Holland. He was like 630, he went to, you know, 640, and then he boomed, got panic sold all the way down to 523, bounced back up to 600K, went down during the game to 550, and then exploded to 650K plus because he scored two goals, and then went back down into the 550 range where he has been chilling, and now he's 570 again, kind of that supply, and the panic selling is drying up. So I'm gonna keep an eye on those cards because they're seeming to fluctuate a lot. Now we have some more games today on Sunday, like Spurs Play and the EFL Cup, and I know I mentioned it I think last night's video, but there is a possibility that Man of the Match cards could be coming soon. So keep an eye on some of these games today. The team of the week next week is gonna have zero permanent players in it, but we could see Man of the Match items for the EFL games that happened yesterday and today. But if there's any cards that have live items that are playing today, Roma and Inter with Meketarian, that's a big game to watch right there. Of course, the IAX and PSV game is happening today on Sunday as well. We've got a lot of eyes on that game because of this guy right here, Kleiber and Malin. Hopefully Kleiber and IAX are gonna go through, get the dub and get a plus two on this card because it would be insane if this guy got a plus two. This guy's so good in game. I would love to use that as an 87-rated right back as a lot of you guys would be as well. But again, if you're taking a look at the market right now and it's Sunday, you can take a look at it two different ways, right? Some of these cards might be lower than where they were on the weekend, but they're probably still a bit higher for most of them than they were a couple of weeks ago. And if they're not higher, if they're about the same price, I still think they can drop lower.  They're trying to put out SBCs that make you want to do them, right? The Malin, the Kleiber, the Robin, the Benarfa. Think about the SBCs we've had in the past two weeks. IAX is trying to take coins out of your account as much as they can right before team of the year to try to get you to spend some fever points, right? They're putting in guys that have good teams, right? Popular teams, popular nations, decent prices as well. You know, this Mars SBC, a lot of people are doing that one. Then putting out ICON SBCs today as well is honestly just another way that they can take some coins off of this market with Kaka, with Owen and Roy Keane. Now, obviously these are decent SBCs that you can craft. I think Kaka is not terrible value. If I'm being honest, this isn't like a 1.4 mil SBC. The card's like 1.6 on the market. The Keane SBC is pretty cheap. It's like four and a K, and so is the Owen SBC. So these are just more SBCs we will be able to craft during team of the year if you're a Kaka guy. And you know what, these aren't the best players, but I'm happy that EA Sports put out more ICONs and that they're putting out ICONs that are primes, the best version that what we have right now in the game, and they're not crazy exorbitant prices. So GGs to EA on that one. And also we had an 81 team of the week upgrade. So finally we get the 81 plus guaranteed upgrade. Not saying it's very good value, but it's better than the normal team week upgrade. It's out for five days, so we do have those available still. And we have, hopefully, new upgrade packs coming today. The 81 87 and the 82 plus are going away. Now I know we still have the 82 to 88 that was in the code that was added at the same time as the 81 plus team of the week. We have not gotten that SBC yet. So I would expect to see an 82 to 88 SBC as a part of the upgrade pack content today. So it might be an 82 to 88 SBC and like an 81 plus player pick or an 81 plus double guaranteed is maybe our upgrade packs that they would put out. So I think that's something we can count on today as more upgrade packs being in the game. Not sure about a player SBC, not sure about another like ICON SBC or anything like that. I wouldn't be surprised if Sunday night or maybe on Monday night, we get some sort of pack code that is like a party bag that would include headliners or another one of those 84 plus player picks because obviously EA knows there's special cards and packs right now and they would be able to take some coins off of the market if they released an SBC like that. So again, one thing I haven't looked at so far is ICONs, but yesterday on Saturday, there was a decent amount of sell-off.  I still think stuff goes lower today on Sunday. I really do because team of the year is looming on people's minds and people are gonna start getting a liquid for that and EA is continually taking coins off this game.  Sunday night, squad battle rewards. Think about all the people doing ICON swaps in the past week. They've got squad battle rewards that they're gonna be opening tonight. If you're somebody who likes to trade with low rated cards or SBC fodder, it's gonna be a banging time to trade with some of common golds, some rare golds, and even some of this SBC fodder as it drops, right? 86 is 25,000 coins, you know, 84s. If 84s drop into like the five to six K range, I expect more SBCs like this. If they drop another ICON SBC this week or another party bag or even another 84 plus player pick and they require like an 84 rated squad or an 83 rated squad, you're gonna see some of these players rebound. So watch the supply tonight on the higher rated golds, probably like the 84 to 86 rated player range that's where I would look the most. And then again, your stuff for some of those lower tier or maybe the league SBCs, maybe some silvers even, silvers get supplied on nights of squad battle rewards and stuff like that. And again, if you see a lot of panic selling on some of these out of pack special cards that we have looked at today on the video, team of weak cards, road to the finals, team of group stage, if they're very, very meta cards that haven't been heard in price by either a new card coming out of the same player like Theo Hernandez or Diego Carlos or Kimmich for team of the week. And it's not a right back or a right mid because the Márez, the Robin and the Clyber right now is literally controlling everybody's right side in FIFA. So if it's like a center back, you know, maybe this Diogo Jota, this Pepe who's down a ton, even though it's a right wing in the prem, that's a total different price range than Márez is, 38K for this, that's getting pretty cheap. So maybe even Jota as well in the mid to low 60s where he was earlier today, you're gonna see cards hit a low point today and you'll probably see them bounce up into the Monday morning timeframe as well, just because people buy cards on Sundays and Mondays because they are told that it is cheaper in that timeframe to do that. So just focus on very meta cards, stuff that is very hyped, stuff that rises every week, right? What's this Bruno Fernandez, 730, he's ridiculously high. All right, stay away from that one. But like Ali Watkins, 57,000 coins, this guy was mid 60s this week. You might see a more of a drop off with the weak and link sell off. And even with these road to the finals, right? If they do get low today, it's, they're so little supply that they're probably gonna bounce back. This Ndidi on open bids, open bids for sure. On a lot of these cards are gonna be great ways to probably mess around and make some coins today on Sunday. So I'm not saying you have to be scared of a team of the year crash. I'm just saying that you need to be mindful of what is starting to be in people's minds this week and how EA might try to take coins off the market continually this week with the content. So that's kind of where my mindset is. Let me know if you guys' mindset is in the same place. Are you worried about team of the year? Are you starting to prepare? If you're somebody who's going unassigned on gold rares, maybe now is the time you start to do that, of course, as well. If you're gonna be building tons and tons of upgrade packs. So that's just kind of my thought process right now, boys. Let me know what you think down in the comments.  This has been Nate The Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace.


Item number SCP-222, Object Class, Euclid. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-222 itself requires no special containment. It also cannot be moved. The site is guarded by SCP Foundation personnel as well as a rotating mix of US, Italian, and NATO soldiers, none of whom are aware of its significance. Foundation personnel travel to and from the site very often and their true numbers are carefully hidden from the soldiers and usually from personnel below clearance level 3. Description. SCP-222 designates an area of tunnels in the Dolomites Mountains near Aviano, Italy. The site is close to the Church of St. Gregory and Aviano Air Force Base is also nearby. The tunnels are filled with carved stone coffins. One coffin in particular has unusual properties and some portion of the tunnels is also involved. The carvings in the tunnels appear very old and a fairly good workmanship. History. After 1948, US operatives in Italy participating in Operation Gladio began receiving word of unusual activities at the site. In 1954, Aviano Air Base was turned over to NATO. On February 22, 1955, Foundation operatives found a series of tunnels carved into the mountains. They appeared to be catacombs, tunnels for storing the dead. Archaeological research into their construction has yielded contradictory results. The tunnels were being used as a hideout by a terrorist cult. All members of the cult were killed or taken into custody. The cult appeared to be less mentally stable than most such organizations, but otherwise unremarkable. However, details turned up during the operation prompted further investigation. Once the nature and abilities of the site were determined, it became one of the most used and visited objects under Foundation care. Function. As previously stated, one and only one coffin in the tunnels has unusual properties. If a living person is placed into the coffin and it is closed, the following sequence of events occurs. Within 15 minutes, the occupant falls asleep. The occupant will fall asleep under any circumstances, such as but not limited to being in the middle of a claustrophobic fit or being given amounts of caffeine and amphetamines close to causing an overdose. The occupant sleeps for one to two hours. Opening the coffin during this time usually results in the death of the occupant and no further results. The occupant wakes up, feeling well rested. The occupant will not fall asleep until the coffin is opened again. The possibility of sleep deprivation research has been advanced, but not yet implemented. Within 24 hours, a person will be found within the tunnels who is a duplicate or clone of the occupant. No attempts to find the origin of the clone within the tunnels have ever been successful. The clone invariably finds its way to the coffin, though it usually appears to be wandering aimlessly. Clones created by the coffin appear in all physical respects to be identical to their originals, though dressed in tattered rags of unknown origin. Man-made objects are not duplicated. The cloning process is not recommended for occupants with tooth fillings or pacemakers. Clones appear to possess the same lifespan and medical conditions as their originals. The most unusual aspect of a clone is its mind. Clones appear to be victims of global retrograde amnesia. Languages are retained, along with most physical skills. While clones cannot remember any people or events, they appear to retain their ethical beliefs and loyalties, and thus can usually be quickly re-indoctrinated into Foundation personnel. Security procedures must be retrained, but combat and weapon skills are preserved. Some clones demonstrate retention of computer and interrogation skills as well. Many Foundation personnel have been cloned with SCP-222, providing a loyal workforce for Foundation initiatives. It is one of our most obviously useful items. Addendum, Document Number SCP-12, Indoctrination Issues. Lieutenant Lawrence Clone was brought to a mock-up KGB Indoctrination Center, where he was brainwashed into becoming a KGB spy. He was a native of the USSR, so this was considered a useful test of a clone's attitudes. The clone eventually rebelled against the brainwashing and was prepared to die rather than submit. At that point, the training exercise was ended and he was welcomed as a loyal Foundation member. However, his clone was given a standard Indoctrination, but it rebelled and proclaimed allegiance to an Afghan terrorist group. It was terminated, and questioning of the original subject revealed that the beliefs had been accurately copied. Addendum, Document Number SCP-222-13, Call for Cloned Psychiatric and Sociological Analysis. General maintains that cloned personnel display behavior patterns and habits that cannot be accounted for by simple amnesia. He cites a statistically significant higher incidence of mental illness, particularly homicidal tendencies, among clones when compared to original personnel. Addendum, Document Number SCP-222-14, Second Generation Clones. Clones may themselves be cloned, though records show this has only been performed twice. The second generation clones were observed to have marked mental differences. Both were resistant to indoctrination, and Foundation psychiatrists returned a diagnosis of anti-social personality disorder. However, intelligence and mental ability were measured at equal two or greater than the original clones, or even the originals. Further investigation is warranted. Addendum, Document Number SCP-222-15, Clone Decks. It's called for an effort to catalog all clones in Foundation Employee and the verification of the locations of each of them as there appear to be consistent reports that the Foundation has more personnel than is recorded. Addendum, Document Number SCP-222-17, Clone Approval Orders. By order of O5-2, all cloning activities must be recorded with a work order and must be approved by non-cloned personnel of at least clearance 4. Addendum, Document Number SCP-222-21, Clone Visual Identification. As a result of the nearly successful Site-1 Takeover attempt by the clone of General-1, wherein data expunged, all current and future clones are to be tattooed on the forehead and back of both hands with a simple C. This should negate the possibility of a clone impersonating its original for nefarious purposes. Lesson Complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-221, Compulsion Tweezers, right now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.


Sometimes you just got to have a little bit of, whatever that word is, tenacity and perseverance. Just keep doing what we do.  On December 6th, 2015, the Belfry Pirates picked up their third consecutive state title following their victory. Plans were in progress and expectations were already set for the Pirates to bring home a fourth state championship. Well, we want to get forward in a row. We just want to go out here and work hard. We've got to take it in baby steps and get better each day, get better each week. It's all about the climb. Right now we're not half or even close to team we was last year. We've got a whole lot of work to do to be back to where we want to be that we was last year. This place lives, eats and greets football. And of course there's going to be a lot of pressure, but we've just got to get better each day because it's a climb. Coach Haywood says it's a hill and you've got to take baby steps each day and get better and we're going to be the best we can be. You know, I think we have a big time schedule this year. I think it's going to be a lot of good teams coming in. I just felt like we've got a lot of big time players that's going to be out on the field as well. It's definitely going to be something everybody's going to want to come out and watch. You know, we're going to do whatever we can to keep the dream alive. Just hopefully when we reach playoff time, we're starting to peak and then we can just get better and better and better until we reach our goal if we're blessed to go that far. Be patient because sometimes our fans and the community expect us to come out and just be rolling maybe the way we finished last year even though we've got quite a few seniors. We're going to have some very young players out there and we may have been a little older football team last year than when we walked out there this year. Reporting in Belfrey for EKB News I'm McKayla Colley.
