Because I know you've got your own McCollum Heritage 91 2018 Pinot Noir.

What got you interested in one.

And how doe I or more importantly, sports nation go about getting it?

No, I appreciate you asking, man, if it wasn't for the storm.

I have a bottle here to display for this, but I haven't been home in over a week.

But my wife actually introduced me to wind in college, latter part of our college career.

She was a big wind fan.

She introduced me to red wine.

I think it was a merlot.

You fast for a little bit.

I got the opportunity to partner with a great organization.

Adelson who believes in sustainability.

They believed in, you know, kind of educating me online throughout the process.

And now here I am with my own label.

McCullum Heritage 91.

It's limited.

It's not I don't have a lot.

So it goes.

Hopefully people are able to get it faster than they were last time.

around C J Similar to wind Someone who gets better with age is LeBron James now, CJ, we're all on social media.

We're all on Twitter.

Why would you poke the bear making fun of the logo Bronze Air Ball the other night?

And is there now that you are talking about this after about 24 hours?

Do you regret hitting?

Send on that tweet?

No, first from us.

I know Bronze.

So it's It's this different.

Like when people see me make jokes and stuff like people on the outside like kind of washing their like, I'm gonna do this.

He's like, No, these are all things that I would say to him because I've known him since I was like, 13 years old.

So it's not like I'm hating.

It's just more like if Damon shot Air Ball like I would do the same thing if I'd be like logo day.

I'm like, Yo, you gotta get closer.

But I like how he held it up like this.

Let's move to someone else in the M V P conversation.

Your teammate Dame, I'd argue the clutches player in the league, one of the more ruthless killers in the league state your case right now, why he should be M v P.

I mean, I think it's the consistency and how he kind of raised his level of play each year.

You could argue he was worthy of the M V P last year.

Obviously, record wasn't as good as Yannis and LeBron is and those guys in the running.

But this year he's head and shoulders above the rest of the group based on individual performance.

The numbers air there.

They've gotten better.

The clutch performances is insane.

Like how he performs down the stretch of games most go ahead or game winning bath since he came in 2012.

I think he's a 34 in County Blazers.

Get the tip five seconds left.

Step back.

Three from game painted Jamie Lord.

I'd say it's It's him.

It's him right now.

And if he continues to sustain this level when we return, I don't see why he went with the MVP this season because we're going to the game.

C.

J.

I've been on the record talking about the market of Portland, Oregon, and I love Portland, Oregon, more than anyone covering it with the Portland Timbers in Major League Soccer through the years.

And yet I still believe that you game the Blazers.

You don't get enough national love because of being on the West Coast in that market.

Is that fair?

Are my missing the beat there?

No.

You're not missing a beat.

I think you're very accurate.

What you're saying.

I think until Stephen a kind of went on that rant, this brother Damia Lily has been ignored for far, too.

Look, he is the rial deal like people weren't really putting him in that category.

We beat the Sixers twice, and and I like indeed, I'm a big and beach fan, but we have a better record than basically all of these teams.

They talked about Luca.

I'm a huge Luca fan, but our records better than theirs.

They talked about Steph.

I'm a huge stuff fan, but our record is better than there.

So it's almost like they move the bar as toe like what's considered in Vienna is it best player is the best player on best.

Team is the best record because if it's best record, Donovan Mitchell should be in the discussion because the best player on the best team right now.

So I think it's funny how, when it involves one of us, it doesn't really count.

And now that we're going to speak on it, it's like, Look, he's the best player on his team, their winning.

They're missing their second and the third best players and they're still winning and he's averaging 30 something and hitting the game winner every night.

So, like, why?

Why isn't he in the discussion if Luca and be Bron?

Stephan, those guys are.

So I think that now people are starting to watch.

They're starting to realize like we're were something that needs to be mentioned up there with the elite players.

All right, CJ, you're gonna put your Cleveland hat on right now because I know you're very vocal Browns fan.

Oh, baby, I know.

How good did this past season feel for you?

For the Browns?

For City of Cleveland?

You're beating the Steelers, you're making the playoffs.

All of a sudden, there's an edge to the Browns.

It had to feel pretty good, didn't it?

Felt amazing, honestly, to be in this position to where guys who actually are considering guys, it's free agent's crazy how?

Okay, Right now, T j.

That's what I'm gonna put you your general manager of the Cleveland Browns.

Right now you get 25 sec to sell JJ Watts on the Cleveland Browns.

What do you tell them?

I tell him You see how close we were to beating a team that went to the Super Bowl without him, Right?

We were.

We were injured.

We were banged up.

You have a chance to compete.

You have a chance to play alongside Myles Garrett.

You have a great offense.

Best 12 punch of running backs in the NFL and you get to beat your little brother's.

That Z.

That's the only thing you need to say.

Toe.

You get to be your little brother e kept on your little brother every year.

Like what's more fun than that?

It's a big brother, T j.

I appreciate you taking the time to say I'm a massive fan of you guys in the Blazers and what you guys were trying to do in that small market and get best of luck with your rehab and we'll talk to you soon.

I appreciate it, man.

Thank you for having me.
