00:00I'm talking about Martin Mayhew

00:06from Washington and I'm that's

00:09a dude you played with. Um won

00:11a Super Bowl with ride bikes

00:14with now. Yeah. Um were you

00:15surprised by that? Like, just

00:17kind of curious your reaction

00:18to the Mayhew. I want a little

00:20shot, you know, and I'm don't

00:23know. It was just he's decided

00:24to do it or anything else but

00:27it's been a long time. You

00:29know, I cover it now. I've been

00:31covering it now since while I

00:33was playing and then after I

00:34retired but he's been like when

00:38he stopped playing in no time,

00:40he was in the front office and

00:43he's been in a general manager

00:44mode and that that that you

00:46know, being a um a scout and

00:49all that type of stuff. That

00:51that's that's a lot of work,

00:52man. That's a lot of hours.

00:54Yeah. And so, you think about

00:56how long he's been in the

00:57league and he's been working

00:59probably have over 3040 years.

01:02He was drafted in eighty-nine

01:05played. I think nine seasons.

01:08Then, he went to law school.

01:10Yeah. At one point which is

01:12pretty damn impressive on its

01:13own. Um and then, yeah, I mean

01:17they only list uh maybe I can

01:18find it. If we're going to

01:20trust Wikipedia, Wikipedia

01:21might be a better reference to

01:22the law school in the off

01:23season. Think about that. Dude,

01:25man. Um and I I want to say so

01:27I don't know if you're going to

01:28agree with this B. Um alright.

01:30So, in ninety-nine, he got an

01:33internship in the front office

01:34with the skins. Then, he gets

01:36hired in Detroit, starts

01:37working on the football ops

01:39side, works his way up. I I

01:41mean, it's pretty crazy to to

01:43think what that level of

01:45accomplishments are. Um I I

01:49want to clarify one thing

01:51though. I I had a bunch of

01:52these and I know you tell me to

01:54and perhaps I should have but

01:55I I enough people said this

01:56that I that I I want to make

01:58something clear. Um is it

02:01possible that Mayhew's contract

02:04expired and he decided to

02:07retire? Yes, that's entirely

02:08possible but when Adam Peters

02:10yesterday spoke fairly

02:12emotionally about what Martin

02:14means to him and remember,

02:16Mayhew was with them out in

02:18San Fran and when when Peters

02:20talks about what Mayhew did for

02:21him at UCLA, like he's not

02:23making that up. Yeah. And I I

02:25know how close Mayhew and Lance

02:27Newmark are like people want to

02:31make these giant assumptions

02:33that Peters was just being

02:35polite and sometimes like these

02:37are real humans with real

02:38emotions and that was a real

02:40conversation yesterday. When

02:42Adam thanked him for everything

02:43he's done and said that he's a

02:45legend for the franchise and

02:46for the league. The fact that

02:48he's telling the truth. He

02:49could have, he could have

02:50gone somewhere else. Is that

02:51what he wanted to do? Right.

02:52Didn't have to retire but if he

02:53decided to retire, it may be

02:55what he wanted to do. A lot of

02:57people can't look at that

02:58sometimes. You know, it's 32

03:00other teams out there and they

03:02always looking for extra help

03:03to do stuff. So. Yeah, man. I

03:06I think I don't know. Like

03:09every once in a while, put down

03:11your extremely cynical, jaded

03:13guard. But you gotta realize

03:15you're dealing with social

03:16media, dog. Yeah, I I just.

03:1899% idiots. I don't think I

03:21don't think it's that much but

03:22I think it is. The the the

03:25amount of people that

03:26responded to me, oh AP just

03:29fired him. He was just being

03:30polite. Like, you're wrong.

03:32You're incorrect. Um AP has a

03:35serious like appreciation of

03:38this dude as a person and uh I

03:41just I wanna do at least what

03:44we could clarify that.
