As I always say, choose your weapon.

74
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.120
Happy ripping around the hobby versus catch up on this

75
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:03.800
week's hobby news.

76
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:08.040
All right, let's catch up on the news since the

77
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:13.040
last Hobby Quick hits Panini Basketball. They lost their license

78
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.199
or I don't want to, you know, they don't have

79
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.040
the license anymore. There's still gonna be Panini Basketball. They're

80
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:23.800
gonna have a Donorous brand and a signature series released

81
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:28.959
twenty twenty five, twenty six. Let's talk about the Donorous brand.

82
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.800
It'll be twelve packs of box eight cards of packs. Again,

83
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:37.759
these will be players not signed to exclusive deals. Obviously,

84
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:42.399
there will not be any NBA logos. They'll be unlicensed

85
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:49.439
in the Donorous brand. They will be Downtowns again without

86
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:55.040
those you know logos. So like John Morant might say Memphis,

87
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.319
but it won't show any Grizzlies logos and it'll be

88
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:05.319
you know, strategic blocked out. They're also releasing a signature series,

89
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:10.560
which is a one pack product featuring five cards. Two

90
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.920
cards will be base card parallels number to one, nine

91
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:23.240
nine or less, another card number to another base card,

92
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.560
and then a one slab auto card that will be

93
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:33.319
numbered too less forty nine or less. There are Kaboom

94
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:39.399
inserts possible, again without logos in the signature series, So

95
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:45.879
Kaboom's in the signature series, Downtown in the Donners product

96
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.920
speaking of Basketball. A nineteen eighty four star Michael Jordan

97
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:57.560
graded B Beckett nine almost just fell short of four

98
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.439
hundred k at Memory Lane auctions. That is a new

99
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:07.360
record for that card in that grade. Some Upper Deck news,

100
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.360
it's the twenty fifth anniversary of the two thousand and

101
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:17.480
one inaugural Upper Deck Golf release twenty five years ago.

102
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.600
Obviously with Tiger Woods rookie cards in it. They have

103
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:25.720
the golf license, so they are releasing the twenty twenty

104
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.839
six edition. But they went back and they bought twenty

105
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:34.960
five of the original Tiger Woods cards, put stamps on

106
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.279
him and he signed them and those will be in

107
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:42.559
the twenty twenty six product. There are also other Tiger

108
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:48.159
Woods inserts stamp cards, so you know, going to honor

109
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:53.200
the twenty fifth anniversary in a big way with that release.

110
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:57.399
Let's go to hockey. Tim Horton's with the Olympics going on,

111
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:04.919
is going to release Team Canada three card packs. Obviously,

112
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:09.919
at all Tim Horton's coffee houses there are dollar ninety

113
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.120
nine each. I don't know if they limit to how

114
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.080
many you can buy, but if you purchase a coffee

115
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:19.000
or donut or any other item from Tim Horton's. You

116
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.279
can purchase packs at a buck fifty pop rather than

117
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.279
a dollar ninety nine. It's a one hundred cards set.

118
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:30.679
There are some parallels. There is a Nathan McKinnon and

119
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:36.399
Sydney Crosby autograph cards in it. Very very very very rare,

120
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.000
almost impossible to poll. I think one in like two

121
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.200
hundred and seventy five thousand packs on the auto, so

122
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:52.440
not many there, but cool. We'll have current Team Canada

123
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.440
and they also honor their past Team Canada players as well.

124
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.360
All Right, the next stor and the last one here

125
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.879
in the new segment makes me a little sad, even

126
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:09.519
though it does give an opportunity to collectors to own

127
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:15.360
some great baseball historic items. Tom Severer, who passed away

128
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.480
in twenty twenty at age seventy five, his family is

129
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:26.440
giving a good sizable portion of his collection, his personal

130
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.200
collection to Heritage Auctions for their Winter Platinum Night auction,

131
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:36.600
which runs till March first. Such items such as game

132
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:42.519
waring items including hats, his nineteen sixty nine Mets World

133
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.879
Series ring, his Hall of Fame plaque, which is given

134
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.480
to you when you entered the Hall, like a personal

135
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:54.799
one that stays with you that will be available for

136
00:10:55.000 --> 00:11:01.279
auction over two thousand cards signed by other players, and

137
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:06.120
Tom sever some aparero a pretty extensive part of his

138
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:10.000
collection now on heritage. Kind of makes me a little

139
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.720
sad as a as a Mets fan, but you know,

140
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:19.240
fellow Mets fans, or Tom Seaverer fans, or just memorabilia

141
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.879
collectors now have an opportunity to add some of that

142
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:32.679
Tom Severer collection to their collection. And no, all right,

143
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:37.960
first off, congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on their second

144
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:43.120
Super Bowl championship. Not the most exciting game. I think

145
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.440
we probably all can agree to that. Out of touchdown

146
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.720
to the third quarter, it looked like Jason Myers might

147
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:53.960
be your MVP with five field goals. But you know

148
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.919
I predicted the score to be Seattle twenty three fourteen,

149
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.759
so I wasn't that far off. Two great defenses, right,

150
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.320
so you knew this wasn't going to necessarily probably be

151
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.039
a shootout. And it really, like I said, wasn't you know,

152
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.840
kind of a plotting game if you will. But let's

153
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:17.600
talk about sort of the hobby fallout again. Drake may

154
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:23.039
not a great performance, a couple more turnovers, really wasn't

155
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:27.399
a great postseason for Drake May. Great season for Drake May,

156
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:32.120
not a great postseason for Drake May. And you know,

157
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.360
let's keep in mind when we talk about Drake May.

158
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.480
This is his second year in the league and he

159
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:44.440
just barely lost the MVP to a veteran in his

160
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:49.120
late stages of his career at Matthew Stafford. They have

161
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:54.639
some mine problems in New England, so Campbell probably gonna

162
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.799
be moved inside rather than stay at left tackle, little

163
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.360
short arms or hurting him, which was the kind of

164
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:05.919
the scouting report coming into the draft. They got to

165
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.200
fix that line. It's got some holes in it. And

166
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.879
to think what Drake May's done this year, his receivers

167
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.399
are Okay, you got step On Diggs. I can make

168
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:20.039
an argument Stephan Diggs is not a one. He's there

169
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.639
one in a sense, but or you might argue Hunter

170
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:27.559
Henry is their one. But they got to beef up

171
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:31.879
that that wide receiver room, fix that line. Drake May's legit.

172
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.639
I know, again, the postseason wasn't the strongest part of

173
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:40.399
his year, but he's legit. He's the real deal. You know,

174
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:45.120
I believe New England has found their quarterback. Hobby Wise,

175
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:47.879
you know, maybe this loss isn't the worst thing in

176
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.320
the world. I think he can pick up. You know,

177
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.440
Drake may is a lot cheaper now than had he

178
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:59.600
been hoisting little Lombardi. So I think, you know, I

179
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.240
think he still a bye and uh maybe even more

180
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.360
so now off a loss. And so I think they

181
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.480
got their guy. You know, he can run. I think

182
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.200
we even saw that in the Super Bowl, right is.

183
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.440
His running ability allows him to extend plays, to make

184
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.639
plays with his arm. Now, the Super Bowl, again, not

185
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:25.960
not his best performance. Some of the throws were head scratching.

186
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.039
I thought he left a lot of air under the

187
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.720
ball instead of putting a little zip on it. But

188
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.720
you know, I thought the lights were probably bright for him.

189
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:38.879
He got a memory. He's still in his second year. Again,

190
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.440
not a great performance offensively for the Patriots. But trey

191
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.399
Ron Henderson, I think he's going to be a legit back.

192
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.759
You know. Again, there's a committee there with with Stevenson

193
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:58.240
and but Henderson's capable of being a three down back.

194
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.000
And so he's a guy if you like to speculate

195
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.960
on running backs, you know, he might be somebody I

196
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.960
look at. I wouldn't shy away, you know, tight ends

197
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.440
wide receivers. Is no one there I would like go

198
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.679
nuts wise as far as Hobby wise goes. But great

199
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.799
year for the Patriots. They're back Rapril, you know, and

200
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.519
his first year got them to the super Bowl. He

201
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.399
is a very very good coach. Let's go to the

202
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:33.840
champs here, Sam. Let's start out with Sam Donald. You know, journeyman, right,

203
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.159
but this year was an incredible year. I think he

204
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:42.200
found a home, right. Sometimes it takes, you know, changes

205
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:47.799
of scenery, maybe a better coaching to get you settled.

206
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:49.960
And you know what, you can say what you want

207
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.759
about Sam Donald. He's a super Bowl champion. He has

208
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:57.919
a ring, he has something that the likes of Dan Marino,

209
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:03.639
Lamar Jackson don't have. And you know he's not gonna

210
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.360
apologize for that, or should he. You know, let's talk

211
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.519
about Sam Donald hobby. You know, I think he's definitely

212
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.000
I don't think anyone's gonna argue with me here. He's

213
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.600
not an elite quarterback, but he can win you some games.

214
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.200
I mean, look what he did in Minnesota last year.

215
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.320
I think he won thirteen games there. And then you

216
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.120
add what he did with Seattle, including winning ten straight

217
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.679
to close out the year, including the postseason. His Super

218
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:34.440
Bowl wasn't tremendous. But what did he not do that?

219
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.879
Drake May did turn the ball over, right, so zero turnovers.

220
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.480
Drake May turned the ball over. That was the difference

221
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.440
in the game. When you have two great defenses, right,

222
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.840
two great defenses going against each other, whoever turns the

223
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:50.840
ball over the most is most likely going to lose

224
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.559
the game. And that's exactly what happened here. So you know,

225
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:58.000
Sam Donald was tasked with, Hey, don't lose us this game,

226
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.000
you know, move us up the field and down the field,

227
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.759
don't give up the ball. And that's exactly what they did,

228
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.759
Sam Donald. You know, a touchdown the barner over two

229
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:15.480
hundred yards, again, not a great line, but good enough

230
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.400
to be a Super Bowl winning quarterback. Then they can

231
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:20.759
never take that away. I think he's found us home

232
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:26.720
at this point in Seattle, and maybe Minnesota's rethinking that

233
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.119
decision to let him go and hand the reins over

234
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.400
the JJ McCarthy. Nothing they can do about it at

235
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.279
this point. But as far as Hobby goes, he's going

236
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:39.359
to get an uptick. Anytime you win a Super Bowl

237
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.000
and you're a quarterback, your cards are going to get

238
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:44.759
an uptick. Is he going to win the Super Bowl

239
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.799
next year? Probably not. You never know. He could, but

240
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.880
I wouldn't bet on it. But you know, how would

241
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.519
I describe Sam Donald as a quarterback. He is a

242
00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:58.400
good to very good quarterback. He's not elite, he's not great.

243
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.319
He has shown, you know, in his career, propensity to

244
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:06.039
struggle at times, although this year was not one of

245
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.880
the kind of years for him. So you know, he's aged,

246
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.640
he's not old, but he's at that age where he's

247
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.880
maybe he's figuring things out right, the light bulb's going on.

248
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.079
You know, he's got a better coaching system in place.

249
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:24.839
Keep in mind he's gonna lose his offensive coordinators. Clinton

250
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:28.240
Kobat takes on the role as head coach of the

251
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:31.440
Las Vegas Raiders, So we'll see how this plays out

252
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.039
for next year. I wouldn't be backing up that brings

253
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:40.119
truck necessarily to buy a bunch of Sam Donald. If maybe,

254
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.480
if you have some maybe now no doubt, how's the

255
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:48.480
time probably to start listing those colored cards, numbered cards,

256
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.279
rookie cards, RPA of Sam Donald. It's the Super Bowl

257
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.720
champion may never happen again, So strike while the irons are.

258
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.240
Let's talk about it. The guy who won the MVP

259
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.079
in the Super Bowl, Well, he's a guy I really like.

260
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:06.480
He shares the load with with Charbonneau when Charboneau is

261
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:10.960
not hurt. But when Charboneau went down, Kenneth Walker shows

262
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.039
that he can be a sole workhorse tight back. I

263
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:17.920
already knew that in my mind, but I think he

264
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.640
proved that to a lot of other people. So what

265
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:24.119
do they do. I don't know. When Charbonneau comes back

266
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:27.599
off injury next year, do they still go by running

267
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:32.319
back by committee? Do they move one? You know, we'll

268
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:35.359
see my venture. I guess they've probably still used the

269
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:41.279
two back rotation with with Charbonne and you know Kenneth Walker.

270
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.559
But Kenneth Walker, if you like running backs, he's he's

271
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:48.359
right up there in that, you know, probably top eight,

272
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:53.079
top ten for sure of backs in the NFL. And

273
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.319
you know, almost had one hundred and thirty something yards MVP.

274
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:01.079
He actually scored on like a third for another thirty

275
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:04.000
forty yard run which was called back due to a

276
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.359
holding call, so could have easily had one hundred and

277
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.319
seventy yards and a touchdown. And he's the guy I

278
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.279
think he can rely on. And he's cheap, you know,

279
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.359
in the hobby wise, he's cheap to pick up. If

280
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.440
you want to collect a running back or you're you know,

281
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.799
a Seahawks fan that wants to collect a certain player,

282
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:27.680
I'd have no problem, you know, making Kenneth Walker. That

283
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.759
guy remains to be seen. You know what they do.

284
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:33.119
I know he came out of the game with a

285
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.400
suspected concussion but then re entered. Didn't have a great

286
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.039
stat line, but you know, Jackson Smith and Jigba is

287
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:46.880
probably in the top two top three of wide receivers

288
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:50.000
in the NFL today, with the other two being, in

289
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.839
my opinion, Jimar Chase and Puka and Aqua. I think

290
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:58.000
justin Jefferson's kind of taking a couple of steps down,

291
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:01.640
maybe not even as a result of himself, but that

292
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:05.759
quarterback room there in Minnesota. But I think the top

293
00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:10.000
three receivers in the game today are Chase, Nakua and

294
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.039
and Jigba. And uh, you know, in Jigba's young. It's

295
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.720
why they traded DK Metcalf. They knew what they had

296
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:20.519
in Jackson and Uh, he's gonna be around a while.

297
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.519
I think he's legit. He set some records this year.

298
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:26.559
You know, I don't think there's going to be another

299
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.680
Cherry Rice, but you know there's a great group of

300
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:35.839
young receivers pooka Jamar, as I said, And now Jackson's

301
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:39.240
taking his claim to you know, being one of the

302
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.920
best receivers in football. And what does he have that?

303
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:46.640
Uh you know, at least uh you know, Jamar doesn't

304
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:50.440
have that. That's a ring. So I would have no

305
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:54.400
trouble buying him. I think, you know, I looked before

306
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:56.519
I turned on the Mike. I mean, you can get

307
00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:59.640
you can still get JSN rookies for a buck or two,

308
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.680
so act in those kind of things, and uh, you know,

309
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.559
even optics not crazy money. I'd be buying him because

310
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.640
you know, whether he wins another ring or not, is

311
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:13.240
neither here nor there. He's gonna be up near the

312
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:17.519
top of those receiving leaders every year for the next

313
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.200
you know, five to seven years, if not longer. So

314
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:25.480
you know, uh, Seattle's got a good nucleus right with Walker,

315
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:30.119
Chabronet and jig Ba. You know, they could probably use

316
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:34.960
another number two receiver, more solid number two, but look

317
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.559
what they did with with the rest they had. So

318
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:41.799
Mike McDonald the second year as head coach. Uh got

319
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:45.160
got uh got his ring. And I think Seattle's going

320
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:47.680
to be in the mix for the next three to

321
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:51.079
five years in the very least. Uh that dark side

322
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.559
defense is legit for a while there, Like New England

323
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:57.680
might get shut out here in this super but uh,

324
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:01.880
you know, it wasn't an a star power, but there

325
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:05.559
are stars on both these teams. I know, again, going

326
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:09.160
back to Drake, may not a great performance, but maybe

327
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:12.039
a great time to buy. Often not great play. I

328
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.720
think he's better than the postseason. He said, look at

329
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.480
his regular season, and you know he's young. I think

330
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.400
it's hard. You know, postseason is a lot of pressure.

331
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.160
Those lights are hot. I thought that was really the

332
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:29.599
different right. Lights were hot for Drake, and you know

333
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.480
Sam was more of a veteran and he didn't turn

334
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:35.319
them and that was So there's some guys I would

335
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:39.440
definitely buy, and there's some guys I would sell, you know,

336
00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:43.480
And I know, you know, I'm probably selling Sam Darnold,

337
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:47.720
not because I think he's terrible. I just think this

338
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.640
is probably the pinnacle. Right There's probably not going to

339
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:54.839
be a guy that wins three or four ring. Maybe

340
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:57.680
he doesn't even win a second one. So if you're

341
00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:02.079
in that space, you know, buying and selling cards, now

342
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:05.119
is probably the time to move your Donalds. You know,

343
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.720
for how many years you kind of if you were

344
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:10.440
sitting on them or couldn't move them because of the

345
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:14.279
struggles and going from one organization to the next. I

346
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:17.839
think he's found a home with the Seahawks. Obviously he's

347
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.599
gonna roll with him after a super Bowl win and

348
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:24.839
him being the starting super Bowl winning quarterback, he had

349
00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:28.200
incredible So he's gonna be there at least for a

350
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:32.240
few more seasons in the minimum with that contract that

351
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:35.839
he just signed. And so you know, if you're sitting

352
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:39.319
on some Donalds, now is probably the time to maybe

353
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:43.039
make them available for those that are going to add

354
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:46.640
them to your So all right, that's that's gonna wrap

355
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:49.880
it up. We'll keep this. You know, that wraps up

356
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:54.079
this year's NFL season. My team, the Steelers have a

357
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:58.279
new coach, a new old coach and Mike McCarthy and so,

358
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:01.480
you know, nice to see a fresh voice there and

359
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:05.799
gives us some optimism. That's the different. So with that

360
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:08.880
being said, thanks for listening, and we'll see you next time.
