00:00Okay, well here's Tomlin this morning talking about Rogers. Now, not only is this Tomlin,

00:05but I mean, check this dude out. Can they get an air conditioner? I know they're in Florida,

00:09but they're inside at this breakfast this morning. Can we get this guy? Watch how many times he wipes

00:13the sweat off his head. Can we get these guys an air conditioner? He's a free agent. As you guys

00:19know, he came to visit last Friday. We had a really productive day. He's been in this thing

00:25a long time. I've been in this thing a long time, but it's no substitute for, you know,

00:30intimacy and spending time together and getting to know one another in a non-competitive environment.

00:36And so that was really good. But I don't have any new updates in terms of where the process is. We'll

00:41see where it leads us. How unsettling is it or is it to not have this situation? I'm really

00:48comfortable with being unsettled this time of year, to be quite honest with you. It's about

00:53talent acquisition. We got two main means of acquiring talent for your agency in the draft.

00:59We multitask. We do both. Those are your needs that we fulfill in free agency. We do so there

01:07and when we don't, we fulfill it in the draft. And so I just learned over the years that this

01:12time of year, although, you know, day-to-day can be somewhat uncomfortable, it is a process.

01:18That was the second wipe. Anyway, I recommend the cardiologist. I mean, what is happening there at

01:26that fancy five-star hotel? I mean. Now, he also said, along with all that comfortable stuff, that

01:34he'd be comfortable if Mason Rudolph was the starter next year. I don't believe him on that

01:39one. That one, I don't believe. I think he can play when somebody's injured for a couple weeks.

01:45He's one of those guys that can play two or three weeks and win a couple games. And then let's get

01:51him back on the sideline and get him some food and some hydration and keep him there, because he's

01:58not meant to play every week. Let's face facts. I will never forget the time I went to the team

02:04hotel in Indianapolis, and there he was eating in the restaurant by himself. And I said to Gunnar,

02:09look, it's Mason Rudolph. Go over there and ask him for his autograph. And my son goes, whatever,

02:14brah. I don't want to know him. And I was like, oh, all right, never mind.
