1
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody's John Middle Cop three and

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: Out podcast. Thursday afternoon, I peek up and I realized

3
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: there's no Thursday night game because of all these Corona pushbacks.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what am I waiting for? Might

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: as well just hit record and uh get some of

6
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: my takes up in the upon my computer because there's

7
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: no game tonight, which is kind of weird. But I

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: guess there's like to Monday night football games and then

9
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: a Tuesday night game, so I I really can't keep

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: up with the game movements. I got no clue what's

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: going on. I just know games getting moved at rapid speed,

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: and I just turn on my TV and if it's on,

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: it's on. If it's not, it's not. But I'll dive

14
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: into the Wednesday night game. I guess off the top,

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: I got a lot of stuff. I'm pretty excited about.

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford thought, Uh, Scott Pioli had an article on

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: NFL dot com about the salary cap. I'm gonna push

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: back a little bit. I have a theory developed a

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: theory this week about second round quarterbacks and why I

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't touch him. Uh. Kirk herber Street said some

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: things about Jim Harbaugh and Michigan potentially tapping out, and

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: just overall college football playoff thoughts. I was watching Joey Bosa,

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 1: who had like fifty tackles last week against the Bills,

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: like six sacks. I mean he really had like ten

25
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: tackles three sacks, and it hit me. Man, the Chargers,

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: Uh they are. They have the opportunity to be one

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: of the better job openings in a long time. Uh.

28
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: Three for the money, of course, actually hit two of

29
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: my three last week. Uh got a little lucky, I

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: guess with Tampa then ended up covering three and a half.

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: But I'm twenty two and seventeen on the year, feeling

32
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: pretty good, Feeling pretty good. This week is a little harder.

33
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: This week's kind of a tough week, so we'll try

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: to nail my three picks. Actually pretty good about my

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: three picks. But let's just start really quick about the

36
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: Wednesday night game. My overall takeaway is it was a

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: Wednesday night game or Wednesday day game. I don't take

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: away any football from from Wednesday's game. I just don't.

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Football players are creatures of habits. They have learned to

40
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: adapt to the Thursday night game, and they understand Sunday

41
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: and if they're playing Monday night games, they do not

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: play football on Wednesday. The the average schedule for an

43
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: NFL team. If you win on Sunday, you get Monday

44
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: and Tuesday off. Typically you practice on Wednesday. Even if

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: you're a team that didn't win, maybe you come in

46
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: for a little bit on Monday, get Tuesday off, and

47
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: then practice on Wednesday. Wednesday is the number one practice

48
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: day in the NFL. It's when the game plan gets

49
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: handed out. It's when players start feeling, I mean, depending

50
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: on who you talk to, feeling a little bit better

51
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: from the game on Sunday. That's just a normal you know,

52
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: your body, your body clocks. As a football player, our

53
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: body clocks as we work our normal jobs. Right used

54
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: to go into bed at a certain time, used to

55
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: waking up at a certain time. You're used to a

56
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: schedule Monday through Friday. Obviously, this year has you know,

57
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: got a Clayton Kershaw level curveball of life. But for

58
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: the most part, the majority of us, even the creative ones,

59
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: are somewhat creatures of habits. Some people are probably more

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: buttoned up on their daily schedule. I mean, you read

61
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: some of these guys like getting up at four working

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: out and doing their stuff and other people. But again,

63
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: like for the most part, you wake up, you take

64
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: your kids to school, you go to work, you come home,

65
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: you make dinner, you can hit the gym whatever. We

66
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: basically most humans do the same things the majority of

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: the days of their life. The weekends are up, you know,

68
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: in the air. But when it comes to their work,

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: they build their life around their work. So I I understand,

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: like that game look terrible. It was a rough watch.

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: The Ravens literally played the game without Lamar Jackson. So

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: when I look at the Steelers, I go, yeah, they're

73
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: levin and out and I think a lot of people

74
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: are nit picking them. And I know Mike Tommins said

75
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: the red zone offense sucked. I don't really hold them

76
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: that accountable for that situation. Now, by one takeaway for

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers is they lost one of their best players

78
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: on the unit that if they were gonna win the

79
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl was gonna have to carry them their their defense.

80
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: You lose Bud dupri, you lose Bush, you lose two

81
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: legit starters on your defense. I mean Bush was already gone,

82
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: but that's a massive loss. It just is because the

83
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: number one thing they did is you could not block

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: their front and it was Dupre and what I mean

85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: it was what in Dupri? But losing that guy, that's

86
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: a big loss. So I don't look at them the

87
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: same though. When I watched them, I I thought it

88
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: was gonna be very difficult for them to win the

89
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But they clearly one of the best teams

90
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: in the league. That was a that's a rough injury loss.

91
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: But I also don't take that much away because they

92
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: struggled to beat the Ravens like it's a Wednesday game

93
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: and the Ravens I have no opinion beside the opinions

94
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: that I already had. They struggled to pass the ball.

95
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: But when r G three has to start, news flash,

96
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the Third sucks. He's not very good. If

97
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was not the Ravens starting quarterback, Robert Griffin

98
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: the third would not be in the National Football League.

99
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: So they started a quarterback who's only in the league

100
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: because that team runs the most unique offense in the

101
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: league when it comes to a running quarterback without If

102
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: Lamar's was you know, John Jackson, and he was just

103
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: a normal quarterback and not Lamar Jackson r G three

104
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: would be out of the league. He's terrible. He can

105
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: run around a little bit. He couldn't hit water if

106
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: he was sitting in a boat. So I can't my

107
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: takes on the Ravens normally with Lamar clearly a flawed team.

108
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: That team that I watched, I have no opinion on it.

109
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: That's not their normal football team. I just saw John

110
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: Harbaugh before I came on here. I was watching like

111
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: NFL Network, and he was like, you know, then, the

112
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: Corona guys don't really have an update. They all come

113
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: back at separate day. So it's just they got dealt

114
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: a shitty hand with this thing, and it clearly looks

115
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: like it was that the reason it happened was an

116
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: assistant coach, which for those of you Ravens fans that

117
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: listen to this, if he hasn't already, I would imagine

118
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: he'll be the first guy to go when the season ends.

119
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: When the season ends, they will fire that guy. That

120
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: guy will go. Someone has to pay for this, and

121
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: there will be pressure in the league like they'll want

122
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: that guy to go. He's gonna get fired, and uh,

123
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: he screwed over the Ravens if it was a coach

124
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: that wasn't following the protocol and led to the spread.

125
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: Because when your strength and conditioning coach, your deal with

126
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: all the players. So it's just a disaster. Situation sucks

127
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: for the players. I know they said on the broadcast,

128
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson was like what, I've been following all

129
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: the rules, and you can follow the rules. If someone slips,

130
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: it's scruge you. It's why I think it's gonna be

131
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: really hard for the NBA, the NFL, these guys. The

132
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: discipline in the sport, it's just it's it's set up

133
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: like the military. Coaches tell you to jump, you say

134
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: how high. In the other sports like baseball players and

135
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: basketball players like they do what they want to do.

136
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very difficult. It's why football,

137
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: even though it's been a little rocky at times, for

138
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: the most part, like players listen what you tell them

139
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: to do. It's a nature of football. That's why the

140
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: sport thrives. The other sports the players are used to

141
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: telling everyone else to do. It's gonna be it's gonna

142
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: be difficult, you know, I I don't know. That's the NFL.

143
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: It's been remarkable, especially given how many players they have

144
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: that I think Schefter tweeted, they haven't had to cancel

145
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: the game yet. They came damn close with this one,

146
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: but they ultimately didn't have to cancel it. Okay, let's

147
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: dive into Matt Stafford, and I've I talked about him

148
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: earlier this week. You know, the thing in football is

149
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: free agency and trades happened before the draft, and this

150
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: week b y U now places Coastal Carolina Zach Wilson,

151
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: Trey Lanston play all year long. I think we talked

152
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: to people in the league those guys have a chance

153
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: to even go above justin fields. We might see four

154
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks go in the top ten. But before that, there's

155
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: gonna be some movement. And I think the two guys

156
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: that we keep talking about that when I say we

157
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: meaning myself or Sam Donald and Matt Stafford at Stafford

158
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: right now is infinitely better than Sam Donald. News flash,

159
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: we all get that. I think, listen, there's gonna a

160
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: lot of unknown who is going to be their next coach,

161
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: who is going to be their next general manager? To me,

162
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: if I'm Matt Stafford, I'd say most people if you

163
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: listen to the show, if you said his middle conflict

164
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: pro player or pro management, I would imagine most people say, oh,

165
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: he's probably pro. He's more pro management. He's a kind

166
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: of anti player. If you just ask the casual guy

167
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: to listen to my show, and I always pushed back

168
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: and go listen. Most of the players that fight for stuff,

169
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: I just tend to disagree with their fight. Like Levian Bell,

170
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: all every media guys were like, he went up against

171
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: the man. Now he lost fifteen million dollars that he's

172
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: never gonna get back, and ever since he came back,

173
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: he's a terrible football player. So instead of having the

174
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: seven million dollars, he could have had the fourteen million

175
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: dollars and the twenty seven million dollars. Also, when you

176
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: sit out a year, you become worse at whatever you do.

177
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: Whatever you're doing right now, if you're listening to this

178
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: medical sales, UH, architecture podcasting. If you just stop doing

179
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: something for a year, you become worse. Garin freaking teeth

180
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of those situations like I just don't

181
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: agree with now sometimes Khalil Mack when he held out,

182
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, Khalil Mack has a point.

183
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: You have to pay this guy. He's the best player

184
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: in the franchise. He knows what his value is. And

185
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: the moment Aaron Donald got eighty seven million dollars, it

186
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: was like either paying eighties seven million dollars or he's

187
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: gonna get that deal somewhere else, and he did so.

188
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Like I'm just pro good business, whether it's the team

189
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: side or whether it's the player's side. And the only

190
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: time when a player is really making a big stink

191
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna lean with the player if he's a

192
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: premium player, because if he's not a super elite player,

193
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: the reality of the NFL is I can replace you.

194
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to the league. That this isn't the NBA. Like

195
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: I don't need to pay eighteen million dollars for a

196
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: for a small forward, I can find a good Like

197
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: if you're a Pro Bowl right guard and you want

198
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: a franchise tag like I can find a starting right

199
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: guard for two million dollars. Just it's just the reality

200
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: of the situation. But I do think for Matt Stafford

201
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of times when players have drawn their

202
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: kind of line in the sand and demanded a trade,

203
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: I have I guess it depends on the situation, but

204
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: I think this one is an easy one for Matt Stafford.

205
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: He's been there ten years and he's been a part of,

206
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: let's face it, the franchise that they're two best players

207
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: in franchise history have basically retired at thirty years old.

208
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson both said, yeah, I'm I'm

209
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: over this, see you godspeed. I'm out. I think Matt Stafford,

210
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: regardless who becomes the coach and regardless who becomes the

211
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: general manager, because if I'm him, I'm not gonna trust

212
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: that those guys are gonna be good, no matter how

213
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: sexy the higher is on the press conference, no matter

214
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: how many fluff piece articles get written from the media.

215
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: The moment the season ends, I just demand a trade.

216
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: I say, I'm not playing here anymore. I go Carson Palmer.

217
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: Just like when Carson Palmer did that with the Bengals,

218
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: he was right, the Bengals were in the wrong, and

219
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: ultimately it took him. It took him the Raiders, but

220
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: then he eventually got to the Arizona Cardinals, and he

221
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: got to a situation that resurrected his career. Now Matt Stafford.

222
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: You could say, well, they've lost a lot of games.

223
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: He's been paid handsomely for that. He's made after this season,

224
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty six million dollars in his career.

225
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: So money will never be an issue for any Stafford

226
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: for several generations, unless they are just village idiots. He

227
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: has made generational, generational, generational money, like it's going for generations.

228
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: If I'm as Stafford, I do whatever I have to do.

229
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: I look at the landscape, I pick a couple of teams.

230
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: I get with my agent, I go, who's gonna need

231
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback? Where can I win? Indianapolis, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, whatever,

232
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: And I give him the list and I dictate the terms.

233
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: It's rare in the NFL that you're able to do that,

234
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: and you've seen every once in a while premium players

235
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: can do that. Jamal Adams kind of did it with

236
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: New Orcs. I'm not playing here anymore now. They were.

237
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: They still got two ones in a two form Jalen Ramsey,

238
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: same thing, two ones in the two Khalil Mack same

239
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: thing to ones. It doesn't mean that you're not gonna

240
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: have to trade something for him, but I think Matt Stafford,

241
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: who also could if he had to give some bonus

242
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: money back, take a little bit smaller of a cap number.

243
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: But he needs to take his career into his own

244
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: hands because the Detroit Lions, while they changed the financial

245
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: future of his life and Staffords for until the you

246
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be you know, three thousand fifties, Staffords

247
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: are still gonna be living off this contract money. The

248
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: hell they could move to California and even with these

249
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: taxes still be fine. But he's gonna go down as

250
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: is one of those guys. You know, he's just one

251
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: of those like NBA players that just put up good

252
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: staffs and just never won. Do you want to be

253
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: remembered like that? Especially when you have an unlimited amount

254
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: of money. He has an unlimited amount of money, as

255
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: a rich guy told me one time. Actually, someone told

256
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: me that a rich guy told him what it's like

257
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: to be a billionaire. He said, just imagine, everywhere you go,

258
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: everything is free. It's like, that's such a great way

259
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: to put it, Like everywhere you go, everything is free.

260
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: Even the more money you make, you realize you you

261
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: go someplace, you're like, I used to think about paying

262
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: for this now I'll just buy it. But every you

263
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: always go somewhere you're like, there's a little out of

264
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: my price range. Right, Hell, you could be make ten

265
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. You walk into Malibu, They're like, yeah,

266
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: we want fifty million dollars to this house. You're like,

267
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: it's a little out of my price range. There ain't

268
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: many places Matt Stafford goes where money is an issue.

269
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: I'll promise you that it's time to win and just

270
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: make the playoffs a couple of times and just have

271
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: some moments on a franchise that matters. The Colts are

272
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: clearly ready made. Now I don't know if the Colts

273
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: want to forty are clearly ready made. Missing a quarterback,

274
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a couple of spots and a couple

275
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 1: of teams. The Steelers. Who knows what's gonna happen with Roethlisberger,

276
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: he's pretty old. I my gut would be Roethlisberg comes back.

277
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: But I think the no brainer move. And if I

278
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: was Matt Stafford's friend, if I was his agent, I

279
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: would the moment the season ends, I would meet him

280
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: at his house and go, we need a strategy. We

281
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: needed to manage trade and help make it public however

282
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: we want to do it, but we we need to

283
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: tell the Lions We're not gonna play here anymore. We're done.

284
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: We will never play another snap for your franchise. We

285
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: appreciate all the money he gave us. I gave you everything.

286
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: We had. Your crappy coaches and crappy rosters screwed our

287
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: ability to win. I had some moments too, but I

288
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: was the least of your problems for the last decade,

289
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: and he truly was. I mean, we can nit pick

290
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: them all you want, but it's I'm blaming the Lions,

291
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: not him. But it's time for him to take his,

292
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, his career into his own hands. And thirty

293
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: three thirty six, he's got a little window where he

294
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: can still really play, to give him a chance to

295
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: maybe win a Super Bowl, or make a couple of

296
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: deep playoff runs and just become a quarterback that we

297
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: remember as a winner, not a guy that just has

298
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: an unlimited amount of money, but as a losing player.

299
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: You know, I I've lived in several different condo complexes,

300
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: uh in Philadelphia and now three in the Bay Area,

301
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: and one thing you consistently noticed when you move in,

302
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: I didn't probably notice isn't much in Philadelphia. I lived

303
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: actually in a really really nice one in Philadelphia right downtown.

304
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: It was badass. My second year working in the office,

305
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: it was really cool. But the last two condo complexes

306
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: I've lived in, one as a renter and now one

307
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: as a buyer. You go into these where someone owns it,

308
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: whether they live in there or they're renting it out,

309
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: and you see a lot of different people. Like the

310
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: first one I lived in had a lot of older people. Honestly,

311
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: it kind of felt like a retirement home. Part of

312
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: it was like in two thousand thirteen, two thousand and fourteen,

313
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: I did not want to play San Francisco rent prices,

314
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: so I moved basically right across the Bay, right next

315
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: to cal Berkeley and kinda and I lived in an

316
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: area where the economy was booming. But there were a

317
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: lot of people that had moved in this condo com

318
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: plex when you could probably buy in for like eighty grand,

319
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: seventy five grand twenty years previously, and now these condos

320
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: are going four, you know, five, six hundred thousand dollars,

321
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: so they had made a ton. Yet the people in

322
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: the condo complex. A lot of them on fixed income

323
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: didn't have that much money, so when you have to

324
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: do big improvements, it's on the h o A fee.

325
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: They want to raise the h o A fee, and

326
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: the richer guys that pay five six thousand dollars that

327
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: money isn't as important to them want the condo complex

328
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: to be nicer, whether it's improved, the pool improved, whatever,

329
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: like cool. I'll pay an extra hundred dollars a month

330
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: on the h o A fee, while a lot of

331
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: the older people on the fixed income want no part

332
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: of that because even though they've made a ton of

333
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: money on their place, right if they paid off that

334
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars, whether how mever much they got on alone,

335
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: they have four or five thousand dollars in equity just

336
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: in a little condo in fifteen years. It's an incredible investment.

337
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: Yet they don't actually have that much money the cash,

338
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: so they want no part of raising the h o

339
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: A fees. And I've seen it in the one I

340
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: live in now, which actually has a lot more younger people.

341
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: It's more just I hate the h o A. But

342
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: we haven't had that as many problems as we did

343
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: as the old place I lived, but part of like

344
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: anyone knows, it's at a country club. I'm not a

345
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: member at a country club right now. My brother is,

346
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: and I think you see it at a golf country

347
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: club is there's always a discrepancy, which just because you're

348
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: a member at a country club, unless it's like Augusta.

349
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: A lot of the run of the mills, like the

350
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: one my brothers a member of that that I grew

351
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: up kind of playing at in like Davis, California. It's

352
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: not like some nice country club. Honestly, most people that

353
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: are members, they are like farmers, construction workers. I mean,

354
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: you can join, like a thousand dollars to join. It's

355
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: not I think a lot of the people view country

356
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: clubs like, yeah, there are some ones in like bel

357
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: Air or New York right or I don't know, some

358
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: of these Trump ones that are probably expensive shit, but

359
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: a lot of them just have guys that like to

360
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: play golf. I played golf this during Corona with a

361
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: guy I had a buddy that was a member at

362
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: a course in the Bay Area. Took me. We played

363
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: with another guy who had just joined. He's like, you

364
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: know it, actually I was playing so much golf during Corona.

365
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: As a public golfer, it was cheaper to join the

366
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: country club, especially if the down payment's like a thousand

367
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: bucks and your monthly payments a couple hundred dollars. But

368
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: part of being a member of a country club is

369
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: you're kind of all in it together. So if you

370
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: ever want to make like an improvement to the clubhouse,

371
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: meaning like maybe at a suite restaurant or at a

372
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: cool bar or whatever, everyone has a chip in to pay. Well,

373
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: not everyone. Not every member of the club obviously has

374
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: the same amount of money. Some guys might have been

375
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: members there forever and don't really pay that much money.

376
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: It might have cost him no money to join. Other

377
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: people that have new money, they don't mind, they want

378
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: to do nicer stuff. Well, it's hard to get everyone

379
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: to vote and agree on because even though you're all

380
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: members of the same club, not everyone is in the

381
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: same financial situation. I saw Scott Pioli right a long

382
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: article on the salary cap and kind of the potential

383
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: ramifications of the salary cap going. Can I give you

384
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: an educated guess which I think a lot of owners

385
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: are gonna push for because it's been a topic all

386
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: year long that the salary cap is gonna plummet. I

387
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: think a large majority, especially the new owners, the big

388
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: money guys, are not gonna want the salary cap to drop.

389
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: Why because going from one two d back to like

390
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: one eight, what's twenty million dollars to Dave Tepper? You know,

391
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: Dave Tepper just bought his franchise for two billion dollars.

392
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: He paid cash, He paid cash for his team. Why

393
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: would he want the salary cap to That'd be a

394
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: competitive disadvantage for him. Do you think Jerry Jones is

395
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: worried about the salary cap? Hell, even like Mark Davis

396
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: who had no money who now moved to Vegas, salary

397
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: cap is not gonna be a problem for him. But

398
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: here's the problem. In a country club, not everyone thinks

399
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: the same. Some of these old school guys, the Spanos is,

400
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: Mike Brown and the Bengals, maybe even the Rooneys. Because

401
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: when you think about money, money is all relative. So

402
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys that have been in the

403
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: league thirty forty years couple you know, they were part

404
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: of the league when giving a guy a million or

405
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: two million dollar bonus was a big deal. Dave Temper

406
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: just gave Teddy Bridgewater thirty million dollars guaranteed. Do you

407
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: think he's worried about giving some bonuses? No chance. You

408
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: think the Glazers, Cronkys, these guys are worried. No. So

409
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: there is this conversation about, well, the league is they're

410
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: gonna drop the salary cap. I'd imagine a lot of owners,

411
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: especially the ones with a lot of poll, or at

412
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: least with a lot of money. I don't know if

413
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: they have a lot of poll like Jerry does, but

414
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: I think Jerry does lean with the Morrows and some

415
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: of the old school guys, the Crafts, because when you

416
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: just think about business, the move is we didn't make

417
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: as much money, pull back a little bit. I I could,

418
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: it's they don't. They're not pulling back because they don't

419
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: have the cash. They're gonna have made a ton of

420
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: money on the television. Now, they won't have made as

421
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: much because a lot of these stadiums are empty. They

422
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: weren't able to make the huge sponsorship money. They either

423
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: had to give it back or not accept payments this year.

424
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: Obviously they didn't get this the sweet money. But I'm

425
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: telling you, if you go to any country club, in America,

426
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: there are gonna be people that agree with stuff and

427
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: disagree with stuff at any level of money. The NFL

428
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: is no different. And part of this is like if

429
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: the salary cap drops, and Poli wrote about this, well,

430
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: the franchise tag becomes a lot more complicated because when

431
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: I franchise tag a player like Dak Prescott and that's

432
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: you million dollars, all of that money goes on my

433
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: salary cap. So if I'm the Cowboys, I wouldn't want

434
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: the salary cap the drop, especially if I plan on

435
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: franchise tagging him again. And clearly, if you're Jerry, money

436
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: is no issue. Why does the salary cap have to

437
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: drop just because the entire league wasn't gonna make as

438
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: much money. They still made more than enough to cover

439
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: the costs of the two eight dollar salary cap. In

440
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: my opinion, there are going to be, in my educated guests,

441
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be several owners who push to just keep

442
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: at most of just the cap flat. They did it

443
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: in the NBA. The NBA, like the NFL, all these

444
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: new money new owners. In the NBA, money is no issue.

445
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: They made billions upon billions upon billions in you know,

446
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: venture capitalism. Now again, I'm not there's a difference between

447
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: just wasting money. If they didn't have it, yes, I

448
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: would say that's definitely going down. But they got the cash.

449
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: They got more than enough cash. And why a lot

450
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: of these guys are trying to win because the quicker

451
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: you get to win on the field, the faster you

452
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: make money. The NFL is a pretty simple business. First

453
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: and foremost, you're guaranteed always make money. You cannot lose

454
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: money because of the TV deals. But second, if you win,

455
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: if you win, you will print money. If your team

456
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: is in the playoffs every year, you and you're any

457
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: sort you're you're in any sort of market. Besides, like Jacksonville,

458
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: you're going to crush Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Philly. How the Giants

459
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: and Jest don't even win and they make huge cash. Obviously,

460
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft makes an unlimited amount of money. Jed York

461
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: last year made so much cash with those home playoff games.

462
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: If you win, you make cash. So I these owners

463
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: are not gonna want to have to cut all these people.

464
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: When I see some of these old school Scott Pioli's

465
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: and Mike Lombardi's are like they're gonna have to cut

466
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: all these veteran players. And part of that, you know,

467
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: who get screwed in a huge cap? You know rollback?

468
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: Are veteran players? Why they make more money? Well, a

469
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: lot of veteran players, they want to say veteran. I'm

470
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: not talking thirty five year olds. I'm just talking to

471
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: year old. He's been the league for seven years. Well,

472
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: what if that guy is one of your best players

473
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: and the owner likes him, why do I want to

474
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: get rid of them? I think there is gonna be

475
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: a huge pushback. You heard it here first. I'll be

476
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: a little surprised the salary cap moves back and the

477
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: salary cap going to one. I don't see it because

478
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they have to do it, and it's

479
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: one of those moves that it's not gonna cripple their

480
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: business long term. Corona. The shutdown is not gonna last forever.

481
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say they're gonna be fans,

482
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: and I mean, hell there, I'm an outlier right now

483
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: and sit in the Bay Areas slash California. We don't

484
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: have fans. I watched football all weekend long. Fans are everywhere.

485
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: Jerry's hosting like people, you know, a game, but next year,

486
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: I think it'll be full go. So they're gonna get

487
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: all their money back next year. Why not just take

488
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: It's not even a hit, just you wouldn't be as

489
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: rich as you normally would have been. But I think

490
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: these guys can see the big picture and understand where

491
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: it's going on the television deal. I'm telling you, I

492
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: I think it sounds good on paper. I'll just roll

493
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: the salary cap back. What does that really save in

494
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: every team? Fifteen million dollars? Who cares? Why does that?

495
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: Why do you want to cut players that you wouldn't

496
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: normally cut. I honestly think you could just it's gone

497
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: up basically ten million dollars a year. In two thousand

498
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: twelve it was a hundred twenty million dollars. This year

499
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: was basically a million dollars, So went up ten percent

500
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: basically every year. Why why would these guys want to

501
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: roll it back? It's it's the one thing that keeps

502
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: everyone in the mix is the television money, and that

503
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: money is not stopping. It's the reason why I've said

504
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: from the jump, they're playing all these games to get

505
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: the cash. A lot of deep thinking this week, and

506
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: in my deep thinking, I developed a theory and I

507
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: thought about it for a long time, and I came

508
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: to the conclusion I would never draft a quarterback in

509
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: the second round. And as someone who gambles a lot,

510
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: I talked about the stock market a lot. I like

511
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: cheaper stocks, especially when stocks plumbing and get to like

512
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: single digits or in the low teens. Because if it's

513
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: a company you believe in, it's got a chance to

514
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: get to eight hundred dollars. Well you can triple quadruple

515
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: your money. Well it's easier said than done. A lot

516
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: of times it does not happen. Just like when I

517
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: bet on football, I like taking underdogs. It's like I

518
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: bet if we look back. Besides, like some Jets games,

519
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: I take a lot of big underdogs. That's why I

520
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: like I got the Jags this week plus ten. Now

521
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: I when I bet on underdogs too, I'd like to

522
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: dabble some on the money line, typically because the return

523
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: on them is very good. But when you get aggressive

524
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: on the money line, if you bet typically a hundred

525
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: dollars a game, and you put a couple hundred dollars

526
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: on a money line big underdog, like you're not gonna

527
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: win that many of them. They tend to not win. Now,

528
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: they might cover, but if you don't win, you lose

529
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: your money. But the risk all you gotta do is

530
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: hit one of them and you're like, oh, I just

531
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: won five hundred dollar bet, or I want a thousand

532
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: dollars on two hundred dollar bet. It's an incredible feeling,

533
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: but it doesn't happen that often. There's a reason they

534
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: give you. The points would basically one to one odds. Well,

535
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: in football, most great quarterbacks are most really good starting

536
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in theory, when they're coming out of the draft,

537
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: are gonna be drafted in the first round, and when

538
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: we view a guy as a potential star, he is

539
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: not gonna last out of the first round. They typically

540
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: go in the top ten, right. Usually you gotta draft

541
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: guys in like the top five. I think you're gonna

542
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: see it this year. All these guys, at least Trevor Lawrence,

543
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: justin Fields, Trey Lance, and Zack Wilson have a chance

544
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: to go. Obviously Trevor is gonna go one, but the

545
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: other three guys to go on the top like six

546
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: or seven picks, because all those guys are gonna be

547
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: viewed as future starting quarterbacks. So when you view a

548
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: guy as a future starting quarterback, you typically take that

549
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: guy in the first round. And then if you think

550
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: there's this good value, I'd say you start drafting guys

551
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: in like the third and fourth round. But when you

552
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: take a guy in the second round. And what got

553
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: me thinking about this is John Elway and Drew Lock.

554
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: One thing I consistently here in the league is maturity. Maturity, maturity.

555
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know that much about Drew Lock. I know

556
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: he had the dancing thing a couple of weeks ago,

557
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: but this week or last week when the Corona thing happened,

558
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: and it clearly was on him for being an idiot

559
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: and not wearing the mask, right, Like, the rules are

560
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: the rules, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Tom Brady. They're all

561
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: fall on them, whether you agree or disagree. If you

562
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: want to play football, you put the fucking mass on

563
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: when you're at the facility. It's just that simple. And

564
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: he clearly didn't do it, got caught, got fined and

565
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: wasn't able to play, and they had to play a

566
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: practice squad guy and they lost to four or three

567
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: whatever the final score was. That game, they got rolled

568
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: and their coach, who is an old school badass, zero excuses,

569
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: blame the quarterbacks. Here's the problem with and listen, that's

570
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: that's separate from what I'm about to talk to you.

571
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: But John Elway, when you draft a guy in the

572
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: second round, you know the problem with the second round

573
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: quarterback is I view the guy. If I'm in the

574
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: fans standpoint, you invested a pretty premium pick, and if

575
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: you miss on the guy, it almost has a feel

576
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: like you missed on a first round quarterback, like it's

577
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: a huge miss. And if you hit on the guy,

578
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: it feels pretty good. But it's contract because you gotta

579
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: extend it pretty quickly. It happens fast. But I got

580
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: news for you. I went through the last decade of

581
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: second round quarterbacks. Most of them aren't that good, and

582
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: definitely most of them are not franchise quarterbacks. I think

583
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: second round quarterbacks are by far the worst quarterbacks to

584
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: take because of the pressure you get from the fan

585
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: base for them to be just good, for them to

586
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: be worth a second contract, for them to be viewed

587
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: as a franchise quarterback. Because the moment I take a

588
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: guy in the second round, oh I think we might

589
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: have just got our franchise quarterback. Well, history would show

590
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: us you did not. So when I looked at the

591
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: most the last decade, here are the names. Jimmy Clawson, Andy,

592
00:29:51,480 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: Dalton Kaepernick, Osweiler, Geno Smith, Derek Car, Garoppolo, Hackenburg, Kaiser,

593
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: Drew Lock, Jalen Hurts. Let's go through him. Jimmy Clawson

594
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: couldn't play Dalton Kaepernick. You know, Dalton was okay, benefited

595
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: from a really good team. Kaepernick ultimately blackballed from the league,

596
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: but listen, for the two years before that, he was terrible,

597
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: did have some big moments and was pretty sweet for

598
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Os Wiler stinks, Gino Smith, worse Car, Jimmy.

599
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy obviously got traded. Part of that was Tom Brady

600
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: juries out on him. Right now, Derek Carr franchise quarterback

601
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: feels like a strong word, but of this entire list,

602
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: the one guy that stayed on one team the entire time.

603
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: So I would say that Derek Car, Jimmy Garoppolo. Best

604
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: case scenario, you get Derek Car, Jimmy Garoppolo, Hackenburg, Kaiser, disasters,

605
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. I never would have taken the second round

606
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: Drew lock juries out. So think about this in a

607
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: league where the most important position by a country mile

608
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: his quarterback. When you take a guy in the second round,

609
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: that means every but you view this guy as a

610
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: really good player. Every team in the league passed on

611
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: him thirty two teams, and a lot of these guys

612
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: aren't going like the first pick in the second round.

613
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: So potentially like forty selections go before these guys are

614
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: taken and up this list, like the likelihood of it hitting.

615
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: The best case scenario is Derrek car Jimmy Garoppolo. I

616
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: would much rather take third or fourth round guys and

617
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: take my chances there than in the second round. I

618
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: would not take a second round quarterback because you see

619
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: it with Elway. He's now in this position. And I

620
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: know I got a lot of Bronco fans listening. I

621
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: get texts d m s all the time. What's Drew

622
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: locks deal? What's Drew locks deal? What's Drew locks deel?

623
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: What's is this guy good enough? If you're asking that question,

624
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: I think we already know the answer. He's not. He's not.

625
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: Now is he better than Hackenburg and Jimmy Clawson? And

626
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: he hell even Osweiler. Yeah, it looks like it. Is

627
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: he ever gonna be Car Jimmy? No, because the one

628
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: thing Car and Jimmy both had is a pretty mature

629
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: hard workers. Clearly, Drew Lock can't even follow the rules

630
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: cost his team and embarrassing loss at home. Now, they

631
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: might have lost that game anywhere they were playing. The

632
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: Saints takes them hill through for seventy seven yards. So

633
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: if Drew Lock just want to follow the rules like

634
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: every other player on his team, who knows, maybe that

635
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: game looks a lot different. So I'm out on Drew Lock.

636
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. If the Broncos are like are they

637
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: just constantly going through this, you either got to take

638
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: a guy in the first round or take a guy

639
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: in the third plus rounds. I'm not messing with the

640
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: second round quarterbacks. The other problem is when you do

641
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: hit on the second round guy, he gets expensive fast,

642
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, just because you gotta pay him kind of

643
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: after his third year. So I just my theory sticking

644
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: with this, no first round running backs. When I say

645
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: no first round running backs, like I maybe take a

646
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: guy in the twenties, I would not take a guy

647
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen ain't doing it, but I am

648
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: not taking the second round quarterback. Okay. I got a

649
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: couple of thoughts here on the college football situation. And

650
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: I was actually watching on Tuesday night the playoff ranking show,

651
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: and I am rarely surprised, Honestly, I am surprised by

652
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: nothing like all all these I'm sure many people are

653
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: seeing these stories of all these politicians blatantly disregarding their

654
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: own rules, like of course they're all frauds, Like I

655
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: no shit. You know, if it wasn't for social media,

656
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know anyone had any faith in any of

657
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: these people. But I I just it takes a lot

658
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: to shock me. And Kirk Herbfrey said something that made

659
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: my jaw kind of really hit the floor. Now. He

660
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: insinuated that a lot of programs are claiming Corona COVID

661
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: nineteen so they can get out of games, so they

662
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: don't get their ass kicks. I have heard the same

663
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: thing I saw. Joe tweeted, that's a true statement. Teams

664
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: are doing that. For example, I think San Jose State

665
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: thinks Boise State dodged them. I think Florida State clearly,

666
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: Clemson and Virginia like there are teams that people think

667
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: are dodging them and listen, it's gonna be hard to prove,

668
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: but that is what people are thinking, which on shows

669
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: like this. Even herb Street like, that's what you want,

670
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: you want the inside scoop. But he said something else

671
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: that I was like, I don't know if I believe that.

672
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: He basically said that Jim Harbaugh in Michigan, we're either

673
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: gonna plan or don't be surprised when they opt out

674
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: to play Ohio State even though they could. My jaw

675
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: at the floor because I watched Jim Harbaugh for a

676
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: couple of years in San Francisco, went to a lot

677
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: of his practices, went to a ton of his games.

678
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: He's one of the craziest s obs I've ever been around.

679
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: And his number one attribute as a coach, let alone

680
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 1: as a man is when I think about Jim Harbaugh,

681
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: I think that is one guy who is not scared

682
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: of a goddamn thing. He's not scared of anything. That's

683
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: his number one. He's fearless when I think Jim Harbaugh.

684
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: So when I heard Kirk herb Street basically call him

685
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: a quitter or would be willing to quit against his

686
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: bitter rival, I'm like, God, if Jim Harbaugh is opting

687
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: out when he could play, even though clearly he's probably

688
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: gonna lose, I don't know if I could ever look

689
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: at Jim the same. And then ultimately Kurt came back

690
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: and gave an apology, and I was listening to Masilo's

691
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: podcast and he thought it was stupid for for herb

692
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: Street given apology, and I tend to agree. I think

693
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: apologies are just so stupid. Who am I apologizing to? Like,

694
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: I apologize to people I do business with and my parents.

695
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: I don't apologize to the other media. I don't give

696
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: a funk what they think. I don't apologize of followers

697
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: on Twitter who cares. But to me, his apology did

698
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: make some sense because he specifically pointed out Michigan, and

699
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: he specifically with when you do that, you're specifically kind

700
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: of calling out Jim Harbaugh. It's just bro Gramp saying

701
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: he was not gonna play the game. And I'll tell

702
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 1: you this, sitting on my couch, I was shocked because

703
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: you basically, if you're gonna call Jim hardball and like

704
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna quit or he's gonna puss out of a game,

705
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: because you know he's gonna get his ass kick. It's

706
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: pretty bold thing to say. I'm a big record free guy,

707
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: and clearly I think it's going on all over the

708
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: country and maybe Michigan had planned it all. I know

709
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: if Michigan wouldn't didn't play a game. They're not playing

710
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: this week because of Corona. But because it's one thing,

711
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: if you can't play right, you have too many positions

712
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: that are out, You're just game gets canceled. I get that.

713
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: But if like you could actually play the game and

714
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: you don't, that's a bad look. But if you're when

715
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: he said that about Hardball, if if Hardball's fearlessness is gone,

716
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: like he's done as a coach, because he's not a schemer,

717
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: he's a leader. He's a crazy man, and part of

718
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: his craziness is like he would play like they would

719
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: play the Patriots this week if they had to, especially

720
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: Ohio State, like he went there to play Ohio State

721
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: and Ohio State has been kicking his ass. But like

722
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: I I didn't think that was shocking. And I again,

723
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: I think apologies the majority of them are one or

724
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: disingenuous too. It's like, who are we apologizing to you?

725
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: Know if you'd say something legitimately insensitive, and this isn't

726
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: even insensitive. He just he made a statement like Michigan

727
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: was prepared to opt out against Ohio State, which you

728
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: know is basically saying Jim Harbaugh is a quitter. And

729
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: I was shocked. Now he's gone back and we'll see

730
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: if they end up playing. But that that even got

731
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: out there, I was like, damn that that was pretty nuts. Now,

732
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: overall with college football, I think this year is a

733
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: pretty big joke. Right, We've had games canceled left and right.

734
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: It's impossible to do any sort of judgment. I've been

735
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 1: a big believer of the SEC is better than every

736
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: other conference beside the Big Ten, who's kind of down

737
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: this year. But the SEC, Alabama is clearly the best

738
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: team in the country. I think Florida's damn good. So

739
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: I got no problem with Alabama one the two other

740
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: two best teams. I've watched our Notre Dame in Clemson

741
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: when Trevorlawrences in there, and Notre Dame, like those two

742
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: teams should be in the playoffs now. If Alabama beats

743
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: Florida in the SEC Championship, should be Alabama. If Notre

744
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: Dame loses the Trevor Lawrence, I'd put both those two

745
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: teams in and then the fourth team, like I, I

746
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: really don't care. I would tend to lean Ohio State. Uh.

747
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: Watching them this year, they don't quite look as good

748
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: as last year, but I have no beef with them

749
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: getting in. Now. If Florida were to beat Alabama, then

750
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: Ohio State's probably screwed because it's probably Obama, Florida, Notre

751
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: Dame in Clemson. Unless Notre Dame beats Clemson with Trevor Lawrence,

752
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: then maybe Ohio State gets in. But like I hear

753
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: b y U bitching and moon in Cincinnati, Like, I'm sorry, guys,

754
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: these programs are just better than you, and in this

755
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: weird year like the it's already pretty set country club

756
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: of the Power five programs. There's a reason coaches leave

757
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: the smaller schools to go to the Power five. There's

758
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: a reason Luke Fickle is a eventually gonna leave. There's

759
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: a reason Chris Peterson, who loved Boise State, eventually went

760
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: to Washington because he never would have made the College

761
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: Football Playoff at Boise State. He made it at Washington,

762
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: just like Luke Fickle, he'll never make the college football

763
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: at Cincinnati. Now, maybe he does this year if a

764
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: bunch of teams lose, but it sure doesn't look like it.

765
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: He could make it if he went to I know

766
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: he's not gonna go to Michigan, but just Michigan. Ohiuse

767
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: state and no House States not coming over anytime soon.

768
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: But I got no issue. And Colin always talks about this.

769
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: Just watch the team with the most NFL guys, you know, like,

770
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: look at Jimbo. Jimbo is starting to recruit big time.

771
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: What does Jimbo do well? He won a national championship

772
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: at Florida State. What's he gonna do with Texasana. I

773
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna win a national championship. It's

774
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: really difficult in that especially that side of the division.

775
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: But he's gonna get damn close. And if Bama has

776
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: a down year and they're gonna lose their quarterback, I'm

777
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: sure to the draft, and a bunch of players this

778
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: year to the draft, so they're gonna have, you know,

779
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: another new quarterback. Now that I said, I guess the

780
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: backup the kid from modern A supposed to be really good. Thing.

781
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: He's like Bryce Love so it's gonna be difficult, but like,

782
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: watch out for A and M. There's a reason Georgia, Florida,

783
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: A and M in Bama and l s U if

784
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 1: they can just you know, keep a Deacy coordinator around,

785
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 1: are just better than everyone else. Now obviously Ohio State, Oklahoma, Clemson,

786
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Like it's the same group every year. That's

787
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: college football. Hell, what's the what's difference from college basketball?

788
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm sitting on my couch the other night watching Gonzaga

789
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: play basketball. I used to view them like Boise State football,

790
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: and then eventually they started getting blue chip players. They

791
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: now have a guy that's projected to go like top

792
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: five in the NBA Draft, and they already have a

793
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: bunch of other studs. Like, there's not a program on

794
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: the West Coast that holds a candle to Gonzaga basketball.

795
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: Gonzaga basketball is now a blue chip program, and mark

796
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: few can win a national championship at Gonzaga. Well, the

797
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: equivalent of Gonzaga in college football is like Boise State

798
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: is like uh, Central f a or well was Central

799
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: Florida wherever Scott Frost was South Florida. I don't even know,

800
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: but you CEF like you're not winning a national championship there,

801
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: they won't let you in the club. They have a

802
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: velvet rope for V I, P and it. If you

803
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: don't have Power five on your chest, they don't let

804
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: you in. And honestly, I don't have a problem with it.

805
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: I really don't. I want to watch the big Power

806
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: five programs, so do the viewers. And I loved Boise State,

807
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: and honestly, Boise State the one year would be like

808
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 1: second year in the league, like two thousand and eleven

809
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: when they had twelve or eleven guys drafted. It was

810
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: the year Kaepernick beat him on like a last second

811
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: field goal. I thought that team could play with anyone

812
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: in the country besides like Alabama. But that's probably the

813
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: best Nonpower five team of the last decade since NAT

814
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: He's not that good. I take that Boise State team

815
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: definitely over them because Chris Peterson's better coach and they

816
00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: just had more NFL talent, so ultimately gets to start

817
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: it with I was. I was surprised when Herbie said

818
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 1: that Harbaugh would duck him, because listen, Harbaugh, it's clearly

819
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: not going to smooth and they're having a terrible year.

820
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: But the last thing the heart Jim Harbaugh. I ever

821
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: knew to call him as scared or would would would

822
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: puss out to play someone when he could play that.

823
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: That is that's counter Jim Harbaugh. So it didn't shock

824
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: me when Kurt herb Street kind of had to roll

825
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: back those words. I was watching something this week. I

826
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: was when I was coming up with my quarterback theory.

827
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: I might have been on a little edible and it's

828
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: when my when my brain does its best thinking, and

829
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: I was I watched this four minute highlight tape. I

830
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: think the Chargers put it out on Joey Bosa's performance.

831
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: I mean he looked like LT as a white guy.

832
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean he was dominant. He destroyed the Bills. I

833
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: mean he kicked everyone's ass, and he screwed Eamon. He

834
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: was a madman. And I've been thinking this all year long,

835
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: but after watching that game, I'm like, if Bill Belichick

836
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: coach this team, if Andy Reid coached this team, if

837
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: Sean Payton or Pete Carroll were the coach of this team,

838
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: they'd win like fourteen games. They have the best statistical

839
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback in the history of the league. They have

840
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: star receivers, they have good running backs, they have really

841
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: good tight end, they have Joey freaking Bosa, they have

842
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: good defensive players. It's insane that they're gonna end up

843
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: winning five games. And I've I've talked obviously talked about

844
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: how they should go after Urban Meyer, but I just

845
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: it's really pretty nuts when you look at the last

846
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: twenty years with the Chargers, talent acquisition has not been

847
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: their issue. I remember being a graduate assistant at Fresno

848
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: State and A. J. Smith came to watch Ryan Matthews

849
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: work out at the Pro Day. And if you remember A. J.

850
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: Smith and Marty Schottenheimer or he used to kind of

851
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: butt heads. A J. Smith was a really good talent evaluator.

852
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: He built some of those really talented Charger teams in

853
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: the two thousands, and then really over the last decade,

854
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: Tom Tolesco has done a really good job of picking players.

855
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: The Chargers have consistently for two decades now had really

856
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: talented teams, but they never win. And you ask yourself why,

857
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: because you go, well, what are the most two most

858
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: important UH positions slash jobs for any NFL team? Passed?

859
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: Once the owner has the team you'd say, well the

860
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: coach and the quarterback. Well, they haven't really had that

861
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: big of an issue finding a quarterback, right They had

862
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 1: Drew Brees for the first five years and they had

863
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers for the next fifteen. Their problem is they've

864
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: had one good coach over that stretch, Marty Schottenheimer, and

865
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: then since North Turner McCoy and now Anthony Lynn, they

866
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: keep trying to get bargain basement coaches instead of, like

867
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: I said, go get a big boy, Go pay ten

868
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: to twelve to fifty what ever it cost, Go get

869
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: your your bat rule. How could you possibly, if you

870
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: owned an NFL franchise, be willing to pay some random

871
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: linebacker twelve million dollars some good guard eleven million dollars,

872
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 1: but not pay a coach eight How does that make

873
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: any sense? On God's Green Earth? And I was really

874
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: thinking watching this Charger just that Joey Bosa highlight how

875
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: many playoff opportunities they've left on the table as a

876
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: franchise because their owner is cheap, not because they didn't

877
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: have the money. That's my issue with cheap people. I

878
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: don't ever call you cheap if you don't have the money.

879
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: I understand people worrying about money. Most people the number

880
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: one were you have in your life besides just the

881
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: most basic health, you know that the your children and

882
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: stuff is just how am I gonna pay for things? House?

883
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 1: What my kids need? Nice things? It's it's stressful. I've

884
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: never understood the guy did As at that level, like

885
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: that level of money and that level of wealth and

886
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: still cuts corners on important things. I get cutting corners

887
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: on things that don't matter. Like if you tell me,

888
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: you know, Chargers don't really have that great of a

889
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: marketing department, I'd be like, yeah, I think that's kind

890
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: of overrated. Just win, you know, like the Patriots market well,

891
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: or they've just gone to nine Super Bowls in twenty

892
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: years and became a you know, stalwart brand of the

893
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: league right Seattle, Like do they market that well? Do

894
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: they have Russell Wilson Pe Carroll kicking everyone's ass for

895
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: a decade? L O B ll B markets itself when

896
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 1: they're laying people out. You know, I'm okay with cutting

897
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: costs in certain places in your franchise, but if you

898
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: tell me, you know, when it comes to football, they

899
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: just football operations. You know, when my GM or head

900
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: coach says they need something, They're like, yeah, we don't

901
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: have the money. Then you got a problem. That's on you.

902
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 1: But to me, with the Chargers starts with their head coach.

903
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: They're always trying to go cheap. And when you look

904
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: at all the crappy teams, the Giants, the Jaguars, the Jets,

905
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: all the teams that are in the mix to not

906
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: win many games and be drafting in the top five

907
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: or six picks, they couldn't hold a candle to this

908
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: Charger team. It's insane how much down it they have.

909
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: And I'm done, you know, beating up on Anthony Lynn.

910
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: He is what he is. I I've been consistent over

911
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: this for a couple of years. It's never been personal. Hell,

912
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: when I watch Hard Knocks, I wanted to like the

913
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: guy because he was such a likable guy. I'd enjoy

914
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 1: smoking a cigar and talking ball and throwing a couple

915
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: back with him like I would most coaches. That doesn't

916
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: mean they'd be good head coaches. And you could argue

917
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: sometimes when that when that is like your ability to

918
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: bess hang out, you might not be, you know, a

919
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: good head coach. I don't know exactly why Anthony Lynn

920
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: is not a good head coach. I just simply know

921
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 1: he's not a good head coach. He doesn't make much money,

922
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: and the Chargers are gonna go into this hiring cycle.

923
00:47:55,080 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: Their job is dramatically better than every other job. The Lions.

924
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: Every Lions fan would agree. The franchise just in shambles.

925
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 1: I mean, the team is just a joke. Like it's

926
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: just not a good job. The Falcons have no cap space.

927
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: You're stuck with Matt Ryan. The Texans have no picks

928
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: or cap space. They do have a quarterback, but this

929
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: Jack Easterby guy who is like a preacher, but he's

930
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: also kind of like a GM even though he doesn't

931
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: pick the players, is in with the owner. Yeah, that's

932
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: not really my type job. The Jets, who do have

933
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick the roster is an embarrassment,

934
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: absolutely terrible. The Jaguars, well, it's the Jaguars, you know.

935
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: Even the Eagles. Let's say the Eagles comes open, Like,

936
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: you want to be the guy to try to save

937
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: Carson wants his career. It might not be salvageable, you know,

938
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: it might not be possible. So this is the one

939
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: job quarterback have. It star wide receivers. Have it, star

940
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: pass rusher, have it, top draft, have it, wiggle room

941
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: with your salary gap, have it, like well, I don't

942
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: know what else you can need. You're in a big

943
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: market and you don't have that much pressure because the

944
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: fans don't even care. Just will he be willing to

945
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: cut a check and pay a guy the going rate?

946
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm not even asking. It'd be one thing if the

947
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: going rate for a coach was five million and I'm

948
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: telling him to pay a ten million. All the good

949
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: coaches make nine to twelve million dollars. That is the

950
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: going right for talent at in this profession. It just

951
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: is like it's just the business you're in. So if

952
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: you're not willing to pay it, you can't keep complaining

953
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 1: or be shocked when you keep sucking. But it's clear

954
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: now they have no business moving forward at the end

955
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: of this year to keep on sucking. They have way

956
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 1: too much talent on the team. They have a good quarterback,

957
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: they have a top pick. The only thing that will

958
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: hold them back the hell they have a GM. They

959
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 1: can pick good players. That's never been their problem. They've

960
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: always had good players. Can they pick a right head coach?

961
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: Because that is the one that is the franchise one problem.

962
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 1: They can never seem to get the coach right. Big

963
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 1: offseason for the Chargers. Okay, let's go a little three

964
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: for the money I am currently. Let's see twenty two

965
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: and seventeen. I'm twenty two and seventeen on the year.

966
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: I had the Titans last week plus three and a

967
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: half nailed it. Bucks plus three and a half got

968
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: a little lucky, but it's better to be lucky than good.

969
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: Nailed it. Raiders over no against the against the Falcons.

970
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: I think the over under was like fifty one. Final

971
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: scores forty three to six, so it didn't even hit fifty.

972
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,720
Speaker 1: This week's pretty hard. I'm not gonna lie. I haven't

973
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: even figured out what games I'm going to gamble on, honestly,

974
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: might just I don't know. This week is very challenging.

975
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 1: The actually the only game that I might pick would

976
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: be uh We'll get into it in a second, but

977
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start off with this game. My guy, Matt

978
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: Naggie is struggling right now. They're obviously lost a ton

979
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: of straight games. I think they're five and six now.

980
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: They're they're in shambles and their biggest issue. I mean,

981
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: the defense isn't playing that good anymore. But their main

982
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: issue right now is quarterback play as we saw last week,

983
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: and he had some garbage time yards. Mr Bisky is terrible.

984
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: And I had a buddy in the league that hit

985
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 1: me up. It was after the Texans one after they

986
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: fired Bill O'Brien and the Texans won a game. He said,

987
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: is there a bigger lock every week or not every week?

988
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: Because it doesn't happen every week, but when a coach

989
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: is fired, to bet on that team? And I said, yeah,

990
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: you're onto something. And the Detroit Lions just fired Matt Patricia.

991
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 1: The players hated Matt Patricia. The Lions are playing a

992
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: Bears team who is an absolute shambles. I like the

993
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: Lions plus three. Uh. The Indianapolis Colts are playing in

994
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, who have kind of got their mojo

995
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: back a little bit. But I just think Indie's better.

996
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: Indie just kind of got their ass kicked, now, I don't.

997
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: They clearly aren't as bad as what they just showed

998
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: against Tennessee. They were missing some players. I mean, the

999
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: best player in their team could not play in the game.

1000
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor out their second round pick. So it's like,

1001
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: and the best players to Forrest Buckner, but like you're

1002
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 1: you're missing your best player and several other role players.

1003
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: You might still have lost the Titans, but you wouldn't

1004
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: get your ass kick like that. I mean, the Forest

1005
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: Buckner is a special player. He's gonna be an All

1006
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 1: Pro this year. So I like them this week minus

1007
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,399
Speaker 1: three and a half, and I tend as the year

1008
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: goes on. And this is why my next pick. You

1009
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: give me huge lines even if teams that are like

1010
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: one or two wins, if they have some talent on

1011
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: their team, which the Jacksonville Jaguars do. And I've bet

1012
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: on them now a couple of times. Last week against

1013
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: the Browns, a couple of weeks before against the Packers,

1014
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: you give them ten to fourteen points. They hang in games.

1015
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: They are not the Jets that have no talent and

1016
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: no direction. You watch the Jaguars play, You're like, oh,

1017
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: they can score points. They have athletic players on offense.

1018
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: They have a good running back, they have wide receivers

1019
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: that can score. They have some defensive players that can

1020
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: make plays. Like they just do some stuff. You give

1021
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: me over ten points with the Jacks, I'm taking him

1022
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: every time. They're also playing the Minnesota Vikings. It would

1023
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 1: be one thing if Minnesota was like, you know, they're

1024
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: an eleven one team, they're gonna be the one seed.

1025
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: This doesn't even make the playoffs. Their defense is atrocious,

1026
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: can't cover anybody. Ow I'll say this about Kirk Cousins.

1027
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: I've been hard on Kirk Cousins over the years. He's

1028
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: a lot better. Uh, He's improved a lot. He's a

1029
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: solid player. But in their offense with Justin Jefferson and

1030
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: theland and I think theelan is still up in the

1031
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: air with the Corona thing. But if those guys are

1032
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: playing like they can score Dalvin Cook, we'll see if

1033
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: he's healthy enough. But I like the Jacks plus ten

1034
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: and a half. So I got the Lions plus three

1035
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: at the Bears, I got the Colts minus three and

1036
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,240
Speaker 1: a half at the Texans, and I got the fighting

1037
00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:01,760
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars at the Minnesota Vikings. Skull the little school

1038
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,720
Speaker 1: uh plus ten and a half. That that's honestly probably

1039
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 1: my favorite bet of the week. Jack's plus ten and

1040
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 1: a half. Okay, let's go a little middle coff Mail

1041
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: bag at John Middlecoff is the Instagram handle slide up

1042
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: in those d m s. Also, if you haven't leave

1043
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: a review, I'd greatly appreciate everyone the left review Apple

1044
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: or iTunes. Uh, it helps, So thanks, keep doing it,

1045
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: don't stop, don't stop if you get enough. Is that

1046
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: what Michael Jackson said, Hey, John, never miss a pod,

1047
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: appreciate it would. Uh. My question is this, what do

1048
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: you think Carson Wentz's trade value is taking into consideration

1049
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: his contract, his floor, his ceiling, his ability. Now, if

1050
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: he were to move, which teams would he fit? I

1051
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 1: I think the answer is just really simple. He's not

1052
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: going anywhere because of the way NFL contracts work. And

1053
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: I was talking about this on my other podcast with Haberman.

1054
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 1: We were talking about Westbrook and Chris and uh John Wall.

1055
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: In the NBA, when you have a guy that makes

1056
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: forty million and another guy that makes forty million, you

1057
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: just you can trade them straight up if they're on

1058
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: a similar contract, right, the money has to match. In

1059
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: the NFL, it doesn't work that way. When I give

1060
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,760
Speaker 1: a guy a hundred twenty million dollars guaranteed as the owner,

1061
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: I pay his entire bonus even though his contract is

1062
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: like five years, a hundred eighty million dollars, but a

1063
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: hundred twenty million of his guaranteed. Jeffrey Lury pays all

1064
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: that money no matter what. So they're so tied to

1065
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: him for the next three years paying him that lump

1066
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: son of money that he's not a tradeable player. So

1067
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: he's not only not going anywhere, like he is a

1068
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 1: one million percent lock to be the Eagles quarterback. Next year,

1069
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz will be the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles.

1070
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: If you were in NFL GM, who would you draft

1071
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: Justin Fields or Zack Wilson. You know, my first inclination

1072
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: is to say Zack Wilson. I'm gonna have to do

1073
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: some digging with some of my buddies in the league

1074
00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: text around what they've seen, uh, because I watching Justin

1075
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: Fields against Indiana, you know, I mean, he does pass

1076
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: the ball a lot better. Just Zach Wilson looks like

1077
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: a pretty pure thrower of the ball. I don't think

1078
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 1: the more and more just kind of keep my ear

1079
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: to the streets. And I don't know if Justin Fields

1080
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: lock to go number two. Now it's still really early,

1081
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: it's still hard to tell, but I think Zack Wilson

1082
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: and Trey Lance both have a chance to go number

1083
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: two in this draft. And I think a lot of

1084
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: people are gonna think Justin Fields is really good. What

1085
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: do you think could be some veteran quarterbacks who could

1086
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: come in and replace Roethlisberger after the season, should he

1087
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: walk away from and stop playing. Here's my thing, if

1088
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: you if I bring up his contract right now, isn't

1089
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 1: he under contract next year at a pretty big number?

1090
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: Like I just if they make the play I mean,

1091
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna make the playoffs if they if they win

1092
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: a player, if they lose the Chiefs in the a

1093
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 1: f C Championship game, why would Roethlisberger quit? Let's see,

1094
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: he's in her contract next year. Capitt one million dollars

1095
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: twenty million bucks. I just I think Ben Roethlisberg is

1096
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: coming back. To me the movie here the Steelers is

1097
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: trade for Donald, have him sit behind Roethlisberger for a

1098
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: year and kind of be as insurance as he gets old.

1099
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: But I think Roethlisberger is coming back. I'll be floored

1100
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 1: if he retires. He's making too much money and their

1101
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: team's too good. Why would you retire? And he and

1102
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: he he's still decent, you know. I mean he's still

1103
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: and the staffs are still really good. I I think,

1104
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: under no circumstances unless he has a bad injury as

1105
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: the season goes on, does Roethlisberger not come back? What

1106
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the season from the New York Giants.

1107
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm really impressed, as anyone that knows if you've been

1108
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: listening to show for a while, I thought Joe Judge

1109
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: making the coaches run was the dumbest shit ever. But

1110
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: he's bounced back well. As teams played really hard. They're

1111
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: well coached, their physical they every game, their defense plays hard.

1112
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: He looks like a franchise coach that might be a

1113
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: little strong. He looks like a coach that has an

1114
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to be a franchise coach. And clearly what the

1115
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 1: Giants like, Coughlin parcels he's kind of nuts, right. He

1116
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: might he may or may not have thrown blows with

1117
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: Mark Colombo, who's six eight three or fifty pounds. So

1118
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 1: the moment I heard that, I like Joe Judge even more. Uh,

1119
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: they just need a lot more talent. To me, the

1120
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: moves easy. You fired, Dave Gettleman. Maybe you go get

1121
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: one of the guys in New England. You bring him

1122
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: in with Joe Judge and you start picking good players

1123
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: and you start building, uh, you know, a champion up championship.

1124
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: Let's say a playoff level team, because Joe Judge looks

1125
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: pretty solid. I have a question i'd like your opinion on.

1126
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: With Tom Brady's obvious struggles with the deep ball passing game,

1127
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: do you think the reason that Bill Belichick was so

1128
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: hesitant to surround him was so called weapons We all

1129
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: said that they were lacking. Clearly, Tom was still productive

1130
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: in New England with the short game. Maybe Bill out

1131
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: smart to saw us all again and realize those expensive

1132
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: weapons would have been useless in their offense anyway, so

1133
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: he decided to spend money elsewhere. I have to admit,

1134
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: as terrible as Tom's last year in New England was,

1135
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: they were still a complete team and they were obviously

1136
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: still a contender, they just weren't exciting to watch. I agree,

1137
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: I would never put a bass Bill Belichick that they

1138
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: didn't think he was very good at throwing outside the

1139
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: numbers or throwing down the field outside the numbers, so

1140
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: they didn't waste time investing in those guys. When you

1141
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: look at when they drafted nikkil Harry nikkil Harry's camp,

1142
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: he was gonna be if he hit. It turns out

1143
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: he's not any good. I was wrong on that. I

1144
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: thought he was good. I thought he was gonna be

1145
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: like a Juju type guy. I thought he was gonna

1146
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: be Juju like That's what I thought. He'd be, like

1147
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: physical guy and he's just not good. But I thought

1148
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: nikkil Harry was gonna be in that mold. And that's

1149
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: what they were looking for in the first round. They

1150
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: weren't kind of draft a guy like DK Metcalf. They

1151
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: wanted a big, physical guy to go across the middle

1152
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: and Tom, you know, pump the ball do so. Yeah,

1153
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: I think they're that's definitely a chance of that happened.

1154
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Wind on that about an hour in the podcast. Appreciate

1158
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,080
