00:00The Miami Dolphins have a new long snapper
00:03Because they have to have their long snapper on injured reserve for one more game
00:10Yeah, he left for like personal reasons, but they had they they had because long snappers a stupid position
00:17Yeah, which I by the way, nope. Nope. I've had a lot of takes I've had a lot of takes
00:22No take has aged better than old Tobe saying you need to have a hybrid snapper
00:28Hold on can I just have to do
00:33Let me say this and I'm gonna say it and you need to listen, okay
00:40Nobody comes into this league as a long snapper when I was in, Minnesota
00:46The long snapper was Mike Morris
00:49His was funny about that. I played with him in Cleveland
00:53He was a guard right it you you just end up with that position
00:58Could he it's usually a tight end or so, but nobody comes into the league going
01:03Let's sign him because he also is a long snapper this guy will but no
01:08Specialize
01:11Leroy you're not paying six seven hundred thousand to a long snapper. I just say something. No, please don't get mad at me
01:17No special teams are
01:20Before you talk
01:23You're seeing these kickers these days they're booming 65-yard punts. All right, they're killing it your talent
01:29We're importing all of our all by the way, is there a punter in college ball? That's not Australian. All right, they're all
01:35They all do that rugby style kick to yeah, they're all Australian even Dukes punters Australian
01:41I'm like what Duke because they all do that rugby style. I understand but they've they've wiped out college kids
01:46You can't be an American punter. Here's the other thing. They're all not good at it
01:51Lou Hedley was good
01:52Lou Hedley was good. So he was awesome for me. Let me explain. Hold on
01:57Please let me explain this to you
02:02One of the reasons why
02:05Somebody may bring you in
02:08Say oh he plays guard, but in a pinch we could use him as a long snapper. Mm-hmm. Okay, but
02:16Here's what I would say about that
02:20No
02:22Your ability to make the team is
02:26gonna be based on your primary position because
02:29There's a lot of guys at some point who've been a long snapper. I long snapper when I was in Cleveland
02:35Was our I was a backup. Um
02:38tight in right so it like
02:42You're making that's what I would like I would you're making a bigger deal about this there's nobody's paying
02:49That much money. Mm-hmm for a guy Durham. Somebody should be able to long snap. No or the
02:57Or the UTEP think about think about the other thing about this position
03:02Most of the guys are undersized at their position because you got to be able to throw your arms between you
03:08You can't be a swole you can't tell me Aaron Brewer can't long snap he could do it
03:13He could do it. Look at that. Piss whistle that he sends it to a saw that rocket. He could do it. He could do it
03:20That being said let's get to the bigger point. The Dolphins have signed long snapper
03:25Tucker Addington
03:28Oh my goodness, it's never gonna work
03:32No, he sounds like he should be riding a horse in Palm Beach he went to
03:39He went to Sam Houston State. Yep. This is this this is an incredible Wikipedia
03:46Tucker Addington is an American professional football long snapper. He played college at Sam Houston State
03:53He spent two years out of football before being selected in the 2022 USFL draft by the Houston gamblers
04:01Long snap, so he's a profession. That's all he did is play long snap, dude. This is crazy
04:06So, you know what? They just signed him in a pinch
04:08Well, yeah, because they ran out of they ran out of bullets for the other kid that they had
04:13This is crazy. Addington is an alumnus of the Texas long snapping organization
04:20Go to break
04:22He
04:25Attended and posted the fastest snapping speed of any player there and he was later inducted into their Hall of Honor
04:35I'm gonna do it. I'm not making this up. I swear to God. What is the name Paddington bear?
04:46Tucker Addington really dude

05:26We did play for the Houston Gamblers
05:32You know how this conversation to it, let me tell you how this conversation went
05:37Don't head find another long snap because they can't bring their long snapper back. Okay next topic. That's it. So who do they call?
05:45Anyone let's call the Texas long snapping organization
05:48That's good research. Yeah, this is Clyde. No, what can I help you with?
05:53We got this cat now. Hey, I tell you what you need a long snapper. He's a real piss whistle
06:00He's got the fastest snapping speed out of all here in the Texas long snapping organization
06:07Texas that's redneck, Utah
06:09Same thing. No, it's not
06:13No, if you go from Texas to Mississippi, it's totally different in New Brunfels, Texas
06:20I don't know
06:25That has a population of a hundred and ten thousand and in case you're looking to move there
06:32It's like a dead ass in the middle of Texas
06:36Right where all the oil is
06:38right, well the oil is a
06:40hundred a hundred and five thousand dollars a year is your average household income
06:46Hmm Tucker Addington. Wait, is he an intangible?
06:51I know I like Tucker
06:55Just give up this dream of football
06:59Another guy that won the lottery and wants to play football. I want to snap
07:05Hey, what's a long snap?
07:09Not just snap first of all, it's a long wait even one of those real snappers first of all
07:14I don't want to get it. I think we may be overstating this because
07:19If the average household income is a hundred and ten thousand. Yeah, they're not talking like that
07:25father
07:27I want to be a long snap. That's just the average. We don't know what the Addington. Yeah, but guess what?
07:34You realize that a hundred and ten thousand if
07:37Somebody makes a boatload of money that raises the income of everybody else
07:40I'm more floored that there is a Texas long snapping organization where they are measuring speeds
07:45Hmm
07:49Right right there
07:52That's the shocking part that the Dolphins may have called them
08:01That's Todd the interns job right there Chris Greer can't be bothered he's like hey Todd go find me a long snapper
