Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Elks Head Coach Mark Kilam and linebacker Kenny Logan Jr.
Q: How does Cody Fajardo fit into the leadership and operation of the offense this season?
Cody serves as a quarterback and a bridge for the offense, providing on-field leadership, detailed route and timing guidance, and helping the receivers translate install concepts to game action, effectively raising the team's performance level.
Elks Head Coach Mark Kilam and linebacker Kenny Logan Jr.
Q: How did the competition in camp shape the starting lineup and depth across positions?
Camp created strong competition, especially along the offensive line and at receiver, which pushed players to elevate their play and helped establish two starting centers by the end of camp, contributing to overall depth and readiness.
Elks Head Coach Mark Kilam and linebacker Kenny Logan Jr.
Q: What was the takeaway from Week 1 in terms of how the team performed under pressure and in tough conditions?
The team showed resilience by securing a win in difficult weather, with complementary football across units and an emphasis on turning opportunities into points, while acknowledging room for improvement in ball security and converting drives into touchdowns.
Hockey Hall of Famer Bill McCreary
Q: Yes, Bill McCreary with us, Hockey Hall of Famer. Was there a story, and I want to pick your brain on some of the, you know, the actual officiating stuff in a half a second here. Was there a story, Bill, that maybe didn't seem significant at the time, but became more meaningful as you reflected on it years later?
Bill shares a story about an off-ice incident with chimpanzees during a Disney film shoot in Raleigh, which unexpectedly affected a game and illustrated how unique and unpredictable moments can arise in hockey, shaping how he thinks about on-ice decisions and the importance of staying calm and adaptable.
Brenden Escott opens the June 3 show
Q: Should we just get to it?
The hosts pivot to focus on the main topics, indicating a preference for moving into game analysis and player discussions rather than filler, signaling a transition to the core segment.
