 Team keep it clean. Good morning. Hope y'all are doing good on this Thursday. I'm not even all the way awake yet I'm gonna get there eventually, but I love y'all. I really really really appreciate everybody Thank you Today is a special day because we finally get to hear from the man of the hour And this was a press conference. I remember when we first signed them I said I didn't want to see a press conference from Odell Beckham, Jr. Until or unless Lamar Jackson was gonna be accompanying him or Lamar Jackson had his press conference scheduled as well But we know that is not the case yet, but it'll be interesting and fun to hear directly from Odell Beckham, Jr. Who? landed in Baltimore last night Last night, so it is officially official. He will be getting introduced to the world as a Baltimore Raven today at 1 p.m. And I'm very interested to see how the direction of this press conference goes because it's obviously a press conference to introduce Odell Beckham, Jr. As a Baltimore Raven as their newest acquisition and new wide receiver It is for him, but I could see How this Presser it could sort of turn into a Lamar Jackson press and I mean again Lamar Jackson is a big subject of concern for the Baltimore Ravens for Baltimore Ravens fans for Baltimore Ravens media for NFL media Because even though the other Raven sign Odell Beckham, Jr. That's nice. It's been said that Lamar Jackson helped recruit Odell Beckham, Jr. That's nice. That's great. And Like I said that that gave me a lot more hope that Lamar Jackson would willingly be staying with the Baltimore Ravens this year Um, nothing is set in stone yet Nothing is concrete yet because he hasn't signed a tender He I mean the off-season workout program is around the corner, but he's not Under contract because he ain't signed a tender yet. I mean not the tender, but he ain't signed a tag yet. Excuse me so We'll see but I am curious to hear what Odell Beckham, Jr. has to say about How he can contribute to this offense what he has to say about Todd monkey what he had to say about the Baltimore Ravens just overall as a whole and Obviously, you know the money is that's that's a big reason why he chose Baltimore like wasn't nobody else giving him that kind of bread So that's that's a big reason why he chose the Ravens over everybody Despite the unknown at the QB situation But I would just really like to hear how he addresses that and I'm not expecting Oh, yeah, Odell Beckham, Jr. Gonna give us the whole truth to the full truth nothing but the truth I don't expect him to give him give us every little behind the scene and every little detail and whatnot, but I do want to hear How he speaks on those things Why did you choose the Ravens? And you know, he's gonna get asked that's probably gonna be the first question that he's asked Did you talk to Lamar? Did Lamar help you choose Baltimore Ravens? So why did you choose the Baltimore Ravens even with Lamar not under contract yet or what everything going on with him? Why did you still choose here? But this should be a fun one and this would be different like You always hear like Skip Bayless Skip Bayless when he talks about Odell Beckham, Jr. It's always funny because he One thing that he points out a lot is social media following He was like older Ravens. They signed him based on his presence and social media presence his popularity and whatnot his star power and When I hit those things initially, I was like, but then I thought about it I was like wait a minute like I looked at his Instagram like he got like 17 million followers on Instagram Ravens have one point something meal Lamar has like I think like two meal. So Odell Beckham, Jr. This is a star and That can't go unnoticed. This is somebody who is extremely popular and This like these type of signs don't don't come by the Ravens too often like that And that's something that you got to pay attention to because that's part of business too that Odell Beckham, Jr. Brings more eyes to the Baltimore Ravens. Obviously Lamar Jackson. He brings the most eyes But an Odell Beckham, Jr. He will bring even more a lot more to a lot more in addition to if Lamar Jackson doesn't end up staying which I think he will but Again, nothing set in stone But Odell Beckham, Jr. Is just very very popular so that can do nothing but help the Baltimore Ravens It'll help them get even more coverage. It could help them get even more prime time games I obviously Wait to see what happens with the quarterback situation, but we are in April. Y'all know what April is April is not only when the draft is But April is usually When the schedule comes out Usually But I wonder if they will push that to me Just to wait on because again, we've seen an NFL push stuff back for Lamar before like remember the playoff schedule When everybody made the playoffs and they were getting ready to announce the schedule They hadn't made anything official yet But it was unknown whether Lamar Jackson was gonna play or not They pushed the Ravens game as far back as they possibly could and they put it a Sunday night because they were holding out hope like man We want Lamar Jackson to play. We know he got a shot. Maybe but then he didn't play So I wonder what the whole schedule release Because we ain't heard nothing about that. We heard no announcements on it. No nothing So we'll see what happens with that But this should be fun. This should be fun because Odell Beckham, Jr He he brings just a different vibe to him as a wide receiver And you know what I see a lot of what I see an Odell Beckham, Jr I see that but like a younger version of it. You're a shot Bateman and The reason I'm a shot Bateman is not all the way there. Yeah, I don't think he He's all the way comfortable yet in an NFL and that's not in a bad way. I'm not saying in a bad way I'm saying like he hasn't like fully Reached his full personality. Yeah, you know how like when you're growing up You like you get into know yourself You get into know what you like what you dislike you get into know your personality traits your characteristics and whatnot and as time goes along you can be you can build up your confidence in yourself and How you are as a person and then you can really put it on for display that much more when you know who you are That's when you can really put it out there like that and not saying Rashad Bateman doesn't know who he is But in the NFL, I just I feel like he's blossoming into that like an Odell Beckham, Jr And just my opinion Because he Seem to be sort of like the the wide receiver pretty boy You know with the earrings always got the the clean lineup and whatnot like dressing like taking all the pictures with all in all the different fashion stuff and whatnot and Yeah, I haven't a good time not do he like dancing as much as over there I don't know about all that probably anybody like dancing as much as Odell does but It should be fun though, but this should be fun because this is something that's way different than what the Baltimore Ravens Have everybody like a receiver like Odell receiver like him like This is way different because you think about the Derrick Mason's you think about Steve Smith senior think about them bringing in an Anquan Bolden Mike Wallace tj. Who's Minzata? Like this is just Sammy Watkins the Sean Jackson Willie Snead Seth Roberts. There's Brian now. Okay, that there's Brian. He will be more along those lines, but that was a Way older days Brian Like, oh, I guess we starting to get a little better. Remember, there's Brian He missed like what two two three years of football than Raven sign them or they'll miss one Raven sign So, okay So I guess this ain't so out of character for the Baltimore Ravens, but now this is cool man So anyway today at 1 p.m. I don't even think I had mentioned the time that the pressure the press conference is later But it's today at 1 p.m. I would suggest you get there at about 12 by by 12 57 because you know last year there was a while with a Raven They were late with their press conference to say one you you could be there you could show up at like 1 30 145 They want CPT time They want CPT and and they were doing that for a while But recently Ravens been they've been on point when they say it's gonna start at this time They start at that time So yeah, I would suggest if if you want to watch it live Obviously the replay is gonna be out there, but if you want to watch it live then Yeah, you'd be there like 12 57 12 58 And you should be able to catch it from jump and just in case I got to edit some stuff out So when you watch it live, that's the only thing and normally they don't edit stuff out But when you watch it live you get everything But sometimes there could be some little slip-ups here man They got to edit some stuff out and whatnot. They got to change but that rarely happens though So, yeah, man, this this should be fun. Oh, they're back on junior as Baltimore Raven It's I don't think I would ever saw that coming like I I Signed him on Madden every year and I mean, but last night. I actually in Madden. I had traded him I traded him for a Did I get a first-round pick for him? No, I ain't get a first-round pick for him I oh, I traded him for a Tariq woolen and In a draft pick I think Because my second day they were just struggling but anyway that that that would that would just matter so anyway Yeah, man, this this this should be fun. This should be fun And again, I just really want to hear the What made him do it? Why why beyond the money? What made you choose the Ravens? What can you see yourself doing for the Baltimore Ravens? How are you feeling? Do you feel like you could still be a number one? You know what? Let me chill out cuz I'm over here giving these reporters all these questions and stuff Let me let let me let them handle that let the other people that the press to handle those questions Cuz I know they got it and I know they gonna bring it today because they should be allowed to bring it today because I don't think What's his name? Oh, what's the chat? Is the chat still who shut that down who shut down Alex? Hey, I hope Alex is there today, too I hope Alex is there in the building Alex can ask whatever question he went to about Lamar Jackson He don't get shut down so shout out to Alex by the way, man We were rooting for you today But anyway, this should be a real fun press conference a more fun one Then we've had a scene in a long time because this is somebody who is really fun So oh they'll make them dream gonna be fun to watch man on a serious note He gonna be fun to watch with the Ravens. I just really hope like They hope everybody could just stay healthy. That's the biggest thing man No freak injuries and freak accident none of that stuff I hope everybody could just stay healthy Cuz and I know like it's football so the team's never fully healthy, but I just I really hope they came in For just the sake of like really seeing how far these guys can go what they capable of what they can do Especially in this new offense and whatnot. I just really hope all these boys can stay healthy, babe So that's that I see y'all after the presser. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all Have some fun today Have some fun today and and look for reasons to smile Because that's important It's so many reasons that we could list on why we could be upset why we could be frustrated They could be legitimate stuff for sure But it's important to look for reasons to smile Because it's so easy to be robbed of your joy whether it be by people whether it be by Circumstances whether it be by situations or whatnot But try to find reasons that you should be grateful even when it's hard because trust me we all done been through stuff We all go through stuff But look for reasons to try to stay positive thank you and clean I appreciate y'all and I see you all later on this afternoon.
