Transcript

There's defensive light went off for dinner last night why's that news of course the rookies had to pay. But Izzy Idonije decided to have a little bit of fun at the new guys expense when the bill came for Shea McClellan practice squad member. -- Whiteside they opened it. There were stunned. It was for 38000. Dollars McClellan shot. That he figured he'd have to pay somebody back. Couldn't take all of it at the same time good thing for him after letting go for a bit it was always joke if the Dodgers -- So what this is a lot of -- wasn't here what we're good you're good -- -- by the master of where they went from that much. We get to 448. Out double cut porterhouse -- returned 95 yards of these. That's too much made about a 56 dollar shots cut New York strip people get 680 of those. The 38 K about five -- fifty coupons the last king crab legs. You -- car carve up with 3800. Big video -- this 50000 troops got there. Love that we'll probably do atomic. The that's -- but I had. I think that's a lot of fun with these guys do things like that it just it it's a bonding staying in it's we bring everybody loose and it's a free meal. That's one thing -- one thing you can say about Lovie Smith this team has been close knit no matter what we all know -- upon. No he has kept control of this team ever since he's been here and that is a feather in his cap and you respect him before our floor they play hard for him as much as we or you me especially have criticized them. You talked a player's off the record and I have not heard one. That says they don't enjoy playing for this guy that they'll play hard day it's a busy holding guys accountable -- you have no idea. Well and he doesn't call guys out he's not Mike Vick yeah he doesn't then employers like they they respect that and we may not like it because we may think that it's a disingenuous but players. -- -- Coaches don't care what we think he thought it as much as we like to think that they do they don't. And he's more concerned with how the players feel about -- and the players if they know that he's got his -- than they're they're gonna play for. And the players -- told us in the locker room after the game in Jacksonville on Sunday that was the loud as they've ever seen him so. We were all watching at the stadium I'm sure everybody Beck you're watching was screaming at the TV. He gave it to them in the locker room right now because it to all the time so when he does do it has -- fact it has some bite to EF Hutton and the -- right when Levy talks people listen --
