It is a term that means wide scattering 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.640 of seeds. It did not become a term related to 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.440 radio until the twentieth century, when the first radio broadcasts 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:06.159 were created. Like with broadcast sewing, radio broadcasting also involves 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.200 a large scattering of radio waves, songs, and entertainment, hence 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:15.560 applying that farming agricultural term to the world of radio. 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.720 I didn't see Sam Boney there. He was banging the 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.720 drum slowly, banging the drums lowly. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:30.000 It's time for quick hits. F you kates quick hits. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:31.320 I make it quick, y'all. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:36.720 Yeah. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.839 The Chargers have parted ways with Greg Roman. Matt's lament 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.960 was last hour. I thought I better get f and 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:44.800 fired Man. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.400 Roman was hired by Harbaugh when he arrived in LA 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.680 I had of the twenty twenty fourth season. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.240 Remember they had the dual RVs down in Huntington Beach, 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:54.640 one right next to each other and. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.960 Now he blew up the other guy's RV also worked. 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.919 That's how he informed that he was you know, my 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.520 RV was right here? 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.000 Have we blown up an RV down there by the water? 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.400 Harball'sc with the Niners from twenty eleven to twenty fourteen. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.839 So Roman is the only OC Harbaugh has worked with 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.600 in the NFL. Longtime partnership has come to an end, 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.080 and Jim will now have to search for his replacement. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.680 I could see Mike McDaniel. I feel like him and 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.160 coach Harve's are a little tiny guy. Yeah, very similar 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.960 in the way they approach football. I just it's almost 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:33.760 like looking in a mirror, you know when you see 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.400 those guys, little guy with the capri pants and the. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.440 Drug dealer thing.

A man that knows what 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.800 it's like to pull the trigger and have the trigger 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:49.400 pulled in the crazy world of the NFL. 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.560 Chrisy Wall in the NFL, riding the ups and downs, 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.120 the hills and gullies on the train track. It is 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.439 Tom Telesco, Serious XM now having a good time jumping 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.319 up in the media. One day he may jump back 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.920 in the fire, for he is a proven winner and 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.720 a man that knows what he's doing when it comes 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.200 to building a roster. But we have a lot to discuss, 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.520 and he's an old friend, the great Tom to Leusco 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.000 tortoes with Tom on a Tuesday once again on the 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.080 Petrols and Money Show. What's cracking Tom? How are you? 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.080 I love that intro that I've pulled the trigger. I've 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.320 also had the trigger pulled on me. That was pretty good. 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:31.240 Well, you know with strikes and gunns, you know, some 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.760 day you eat the bear and some day the bear 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:38.240 eats you. And speaking of that, so they say, yeah, 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:39.520 everybody says. 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:43.440 That some day you have bear for dinner, some days 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:44.840 the bear has you for dinner. 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.240 Tell us Tom, how surprised were you by the Chargers 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.640 performance out in New England? Some people that I know 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.160 thought they matched up pretty well. 0:14:55.560 --> 0:15:00.520 Turns out, oh, I was really surprised, and and obviously 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.160 they were. Through this whole year on offense, they've had 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.680 to deal with a lot of adversity. Like everybody knows. 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.600 You know that they lost both their starting tackles, but 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:12.880 they just weren't starting tackles. They're all pro football type tackles. Now, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.640 what I probably missed you know, I think having Omary 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.040 and Hampton out with injury, I think that affected him 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.520 a lot more than people talked about. 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:20.760 He's a big part of. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.480 How they run that offense. But I went to the 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.760 point how Justin just didn't play well, and you know 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.280 it happens from time to time, doesn't have very often 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.800 with him. But looking at that game, I didn't think 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.320 Drake May played great either. I mean, Drake May took 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.720 five sacks at interception, he put two balls in the ground, 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.560 but he made a big throw to Hunter Henry, and 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:47.440 he just consistently took checkdowns. And there's a big difference 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.920 when May was checking it down to Remindre Stevenson and 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.080 Treviaon Henderson versus Justin checking it down to Tyger Fisk. 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.680 So just what they weren't going the same type of 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.560 easy throws, the same type of chunkyards on an easy throw. 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.600 So but I was a probably the defense played very 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.040 well like the head all year and offensively, it just 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.920 wasn't their day and it was it was hard to watch, 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.120 but that's the nature of the playoffs. So these games 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.760 they get bigger and bigger as you move, as you 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.000 move through and you know, whatever your weakness is it 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.160 tends to get magnified in the playoffs, and that's kind 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:18.200 of what happened to the Chargers. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.160 How hard is it tom to try to figure out 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.880 the answers to those questions in game? You know, you 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.440 go into the half, it's six to three, and it 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.200 felt like the Patriots figured it out right. They kind of, 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.080 you know, got some easy buttons for Drake May, they 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.320 found some explosives, and it felt like the Chargers were 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:37.840 kind of trying to do the same things they were 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.680 doing in the first half. Is it just too hard 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:41.960 to get out of what you thought you were going 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:43.560 to be able to do if you're not able to 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.840 or what goes into trying to overcome some of those obstacles. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.320 No, I mean typically even before you get into the game, 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:52.880 you have your game plan, but you also have some 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.440 different plans D, B, C and D depending on what 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.680 your opponent's going to do. And then once you're in game, 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.720 you know halftime that you guys know halftimes are short. 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.119 I mean it's a twelve minute halftime, and you know 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:05.840 a couple of things are just getting to the locker 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.560 room and getting back out again. So a lot of 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.879 the adjustments will happen in between series. I mean they 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.440 have they have the still photos or the video on 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.840 the sideline on the iPads, and they can make adjustments 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:21.520 in real time. But also the defense of making adjustments 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:23.480 the same time. So it's a it's a cat and 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.399 mouse game throughout the whole game, and it just seemed 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:28.320 like that the Chargers they just couldn't get in front 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.960 of it. And look, you know Greg, Greg Roman and 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.320 you full disclosure, he was a college teammate of mine 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.360 will we both started with the Carolina Panthers the same 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.320 year in nineteen ninety five. And his work ethic, attention 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.480 to detail is outstanding, it really is. I really I 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.000 gave a lot of credit for what he was able 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:44.639 to do this year with some of the issues that 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.639 had on offense. Justin had a tremendous year until the 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.879 last game. But such as life in the NFL, they 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.399 the emotions of the past game, you know, kind of 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.000 crop up and you move on. 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.280 So you know, with that, as you know, kind of 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.760 a pretext for this question what do you make of what? 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:05.320 And he's a guy that you know, he was on 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.879 your team. Robert Splane what he said after the game that. 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:09.960 I don't know if you saw it, but he said 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.000 he was talking to some Charger players after and they 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.400 said they didn't know what the heck they were looking at, 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.680 that they couldn't figure the coverages out. Is that something 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.480 that sounds right to you? And if that's the case, 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.359 kind of what would go into that happening in a 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:24.760 game of that magnitude. 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.639 Honestly, it kind of seems like your typical postgame banter 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.479 that you know may have been taken a little bit 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:32.240 out of context. 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:33.120 I don't know. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.160 I haven't been able to see the coaches copy yet 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.199 the All twenty two, so you know, on TV it's 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.879 hard to see the routes develop and see where if 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.119 there was separation, if there were players coming open. I 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.919 just know from their offense, I mean, running back to 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.760 average less than three ars per carry, and and for 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:52.600 what with the Charges have done this year and how 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.080 they run their offense, it's hard to get moving when 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:56.840 when you can't get anything going in the run game. 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:01.159 There were some clean pockets in the first half, but 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.000 you know, Justin is normally decisive, but it just didn't 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:05.440 seem like you had anywhere to get with the ball. 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.040 And then the second half, it just seemed like the 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.240 Patriots who didn't really I didn't think pressure well in 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:11.920 the first half of the second half. They kind of 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.600 saw blooding the water and they brought it from everywhere, 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.840 and maybe they brought some plittes that the charger had 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:22.400 not seen before at their opportune time, and you saw 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:23.000 the result. 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.800 The one and only Tom to leasco is our guest. 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.320 You were in Las Vegas, you had a great draft 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:33.080 in twenty twenty four, they've turned it over again at 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.119 head coach. What do they need? Do they need a 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.399 young guy? Did they need like an old angry guy 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:42.639 like Kubiak? Do they need like one of these offensive 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:47.520 guys that looks really quoft? You know, like, what what 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:47.920 do you think? 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:48.439 I like the hair? 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:53.960 I'm at Lafleur, Yeah, Lafloor, you know, yeah, quaft, offensive guy. 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.199 They just need some stability, that's the biggest thing. I 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.920 thought that's what Peeka was going to bring them last year. 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.240 But as you guys could see, like it just didn't 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.560 click this year, and I could see you hate to 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.160 keep making these moves. 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:09.840 The one and done so you don't want to see that. 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:12.480 But I think everyone can see it. Just didn't click 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:14.920 this year. So at this point, but they have the 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.000 first pick in the draft, they're going to take a quarterback, 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.040 so they're finally going to have a quarterback to build around, 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.120 which they haven't had really since Derek Carr. So they 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.199 have that piece and now it's just about getting some 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.960 stability at the top from the head coach. And it 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.720 doesn't matter if it's offense, defense or special teams to me, 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:34.200 because there are some really good resources there both stadium wise, 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:39.720 practice facility, incredible fan base, mean worldwide fan base, and 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:41.200 there's a lot of good people in the building. I 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.400 mean I know it firsthand because you're only as good 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.520 as the people you work with. So there's support staffs 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:49.840 with training and video and communications and equipment scouting. They're excellent. 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.040 Just have to find that stability at the top, and 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:55.560 I think they'll go through the I bet they'll be 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:57.640 much more in the same page this year they kind 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.840 of went through last year. I've been a first time GM. 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.760 Sometimes things are moving real fast and you feel like 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.200 you have to get a head coach hired as quickly 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.440 as possible because you need to get all the assistants hired, 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.000 and you feel like the seats are gonna fill. But 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.200 if you take your time, go through your process what 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.840 they're doing right now, you get the right person the 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.600 top and hopefully just have the stability there. 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:19.960 So you've you know, you know what it looks like 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.080 at the top of the draft when it's a quarterback 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.280 draft and it's Joe Burrow and Tua and Justin Herbert 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:29.960 or you know, some years it's Christian Ponder and you know, 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:31.720 what do you make of this year they have the 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.320 number one pick. I know you haven't probably had a 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.040 chance to dig too deep into Fernando Mendoz or Dante 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:38.639
