I think it's also Becker's last days as an intern, is that right? Well, later on today, we'll send him out in style, give him a chance to redeem himself from his last appearance, don't you think?
**Chris McMonigle** (0:11)
I think he deserves it. I think, why don't we deserve it?
**SPEAKER_3** (0:13)
I'm gonna give it to him anyway.
**Craig Carton** (0:15)
Because he seems like a good kid, so we'll do that. So the story, real quick, got a little convoluted during the break. There's one report that Robert Saleh came out and said it like the gathering of the press and another story that he didn't. So I guess Fireman Ed was on a podcast or something and said that he's been told on Great Authority that Robert Saleh when asked about playing the Jets in Week 1, one said something to the effect of, we're gonna kick their ass.
What do you expect them to say? Like should he say, well, you know, yeah, you know, it's gonna, I'm not quite sure how Week 1 is gonna go. You know, the Jets are a fine organization. I have a lot of respect for. No, Clive, what's the one thing we do know about Robert Saleh? He has great quotes.
**Chris McMonigle** (1:02)
He's confident.
**Craig Carton** (1:03)
He's a quote machine. And even when the Jets were losing, he's uber confident and positive. If he said anything other than that, if this even happened, which we're not 100% sure about, how is that bulletin board material?
And if you're a three-win team, you don't even have bulletin boards.
**Chris McMonigle** (1:23)
That's a good point.
**Craig Carton** (1:24)
What do you put on a bulletin board when you're three and 14?
**SPEAKER_3** (1:28)
Fast and violent.
**Chris McMonigle** (1:29)
But I'm saying, who is he talking to? If you saw him in the street and said, Scott, what are you going to do week one? We're going to beat that ass.
**SPEAKER_3** (1:34)
Kick their ass. Of course, no.
**Chris McMonigle** (1:36)
Well, I respect the Jets and my time there was precious to me.
**SPEAKER_3** (1:38)
We're going to try our hardest.
**Chris McMonigle** (1:39)
They were the first team to give me an opportunity to be a head coach in the NFL and I wish them well.
No, kick their ass. That's what football coaches say.
**Craig Carton** (1:46)
So to me, it's kind of a non-story.
**Chris McMonigle** (1:47)
Of course, it's a non-story.
**Craig Carton** (1:48)
That being said.
**Chris McMonigle** (1:50)
Screw that guy.
**Craig Carton** (1:51)
I like the fact that he did say that that's his mindset.
**SPEAKER_3** (1:54)
I hope we kick his ass. I hope we kick his ass.
**Craig Carton** (1:56)
So much as Aaron Glenn, what's your thoughts of week one against Robert Sala?
**Chris McMonigle** (1:59)
Oh, I'm sorry. I gotta wake him up first.
**Craig Carton** (2:01)
Coach, can you wake up, please? It's not the combines. It's actually practice, if you don't mind.
That's a tough one for him to live down, huh? You were right there. You wouldn't have done it if it was Harbaugh.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:10)
He didn't fall asleep?
**Craig Carton** (2:11)
If he did, you would have stayed far away from that little joke when you have it.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:16)
Listen, and again, you know what else Harbaugh did? He's the coolest guy in the room, man. You think he's corny? He's not corny.
**Craig Carton** (2:21)
He was corny at that speech.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:22)
You know how they open practice with music. You know what song?
**Craig Carton** (2:27)
Oh, no, let me guess.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:28)
What song? It's obvious.
**Craig Carton** (2:29)
In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:34)
Oh, I got it.
**Craig Carton** (2:36)
West Virginia, Mount Mama, take me home. Country roads.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:42)
He open with that? That's what they started with.
**Craig Carton** (2:44)
He's so clever with the music choices.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:47)
I can't imagine how to motivate.
**Craig Carton** (2:49)
He can't give a speech to save his life. But when it comes to theme songs, that's my guy.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:55)
West Virginia.
**Craig Carton** (2:56)
I want to run through a wall for him.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:58)
Absolutely.
**Craig Carton** (2:58)
He played Bob Denver.
**Chris McMonigle** (3:01)
Bob Denver?
**Craig Carton** (3:02)
Yeah.
**Chris McMonigle** (3:03)
No? Country Roads?
**Craig Carton** (3:05)
Bob Denver? Yeah, you're right.
**Chris McMonigle** (3:07)
No, I'm sorry. I thought you said something else. Bob Denver.
**Craig Carton** (3:08)
Yeah. Or is it John Denver?
Who is Gilligan?
**Chris McMonigle** (3:11)
It's John Denver.
**Craig Carton** (3:12)
