00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: parents were a little older, died Vietnam. Uh My both

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,880

00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: this Memorial Day. But you know, we'll get through it.

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: We'll just keep chugging along. I'll be completely honest. I

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: didn't even realize long weekend. Uh in Santa Cruz, playing

15
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: a little golf driving home on Monday, and I'm like,

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: oh ship, I gotta do a podcast, you know, well,

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: what's going on? And then luckily watch the match. I

18
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of a lot of takes on the

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: match with Tom Brady, Paid Manning, Tackle Woods and Phil Mickelson.

20
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a long middle Cough mailbag. Uh at

00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: to get through a bunch and I won't be able

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: to get through. Everyone's keep firing me questions as we

Speaker 1: go through the summer months. Uh, this is your show

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: as much as it is mine. Also appreciate everyone that's

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: left a review on the UH on the Apple podcast

27
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: where you can listen to three and out five star.

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: If you like the show, you can go go no stars.

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: If you don't like the show, it's up to you.

30
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: But everyone that's left a review were well over a thousand.

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: We'll just keep leaving reviews, keep racking up the numbers. Uh,

32
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: so this little Memorial Day podcast for you. Let's let's

33
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: start with the match and UH. First off, it was awesome.

34
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: Now full disclosure golf. Most people assume my favorite sport

35
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: is football, it might be golf. And if anything, there

36
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: one A and one B they go hand in hand.

37
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Mainly because I wasn't any good at football. Golf was

38
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: the one sport that I actually had a little talent at.

39
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm still like a six handicap. I just like playing it.

40
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: I've been playing it my whole life. I love the

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: PGA Tour. I follow the PGA Tour, probably not as

42
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: closely as the NFL, but I don't miss any big tournament.

43
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean I I view the majors like I would

44
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I mean, it's it's a big deal

45
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: to me. So this was right up my alley. You

46
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: give me Tom Brady, Peyton Manning with Tiger Woods. If

47
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: you had to say, who's your favorite athlete ever, I mean,

48
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: for me, I'm thirty five years old, it it'd be Tiger.

49
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's and I think this There's been a lot

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: of buzz Michael Jordan's documentaries getting six million people watching

51
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: this the match, the Capital won the match kind of

52
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, I probably could have picked a better name,

53
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: but whatever, I'm not gonna nitpick or hate. During mid

54
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: Corona about some sweet television event. Got also about six

55
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: million people watch that thing. And I think a lot

56
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: of people assume, like if baseball and I'm in that

57
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: camp too, of baseball and the NBA came back, their

58
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: viewership numbers would be huge. You know, I don't know.

59
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: The more I thought about that, the Michael Jordan documentary

60
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: got six million people to watch for two reasons. One, Corona,

61
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: we didn't have anything else to watch, and two it

62
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: was Michael Jeffrey Jordan's the most famous athlete of my

63
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: lifetime and arguably, beside like Babe Ruth, the most Muhammad Ali,

64
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: the most famous athlete ever. I'd say the second or

65
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: third most famous athlete ever would be Tiger Eldrick or

66
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: Eldrick Tiger Woods. And then you throw in I say

67
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: this all the time about Tom and Peyton Manning. They

68
00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: were for me, the magic and Larry Burr of the sport.

69
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: They were the two best players, the two most famous players.

70
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: As the sport took off like a rocket ship in

71
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: the two thousand's, I mean, when football really separated itself

72
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: from the NBA and Major League Baseball. They were the

73
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: poster boys. And Tom's arguably the I mean greatest quarterback

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: of all time. I don't know where you'd rank Peyton,

75
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: probably somewhere between like three and six. He's one of

76
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: clearly the best quarterbacks of all time, super famous. So

77
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: you put Tiger Woods with the greatest quarterback of ever,

78
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: his rival, who's a top four or five six quarterback ever.

79
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: And Phil Mickelson probably besides like Jack and Tiger, some

80
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: international guy, I mean, one of the greatest golfers of

81
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: all time. I mean, check out Phil's career earnings. For

82
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: about a fifteen year stretch, Philip been racket up over

83
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars a year. When Phil plays Pebble Beach.

84
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: He lives in San Diego, he plays home every night,

85
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: and he ain't checking into United, so he's got a

86
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: pretty good gig. And it was It was awesome. It's humanized.

87
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: One thing the NFL really has going for it is

88
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: it's still even in a sport like basketball, baseball, football, golf.

89
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are making stupid money. Stupid money. Well,

90
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: I think sometimes we throw out contract numbers like, oh,

91
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: I just signed for a hundred million dollars. Think about

92
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: the richest human being. You know, you know some businessman

93
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: who's done really well, a millionaire. Most of those guys,

94
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: maybe their business has a good year profits, you know,

95
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: five million, ten million, right, you get some revenue generating.

96
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm not talking like Wall Street, but I'm just talking

97
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: like a solid small to medium sized business making good money. Really,

98
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: the company's making the money. The individual he can take

99
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: some of the profits. Most of these people ain't making

100
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: thirty forty fifty million dollars a year that we just

101
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: throw out like, oh, Bryce Harper thirteen years, three thirty,

102
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: like that's just normal. How many think about the richest

103
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: human you know won't ever sniff three million dollars. If

104
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: you make fifty million dollars, you're on the top one

105
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: percent of the one percent. You crushed it in life.

106
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking fifty million in your lifetime. We're seeing Steph

107
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: Curry in a year and a half makes sixty million dollars.

108
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: He makes forty million dollars a year. Right, And I

109
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: think the NFL is the one sport of the major ones.

110
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: Their contracts aren't guaranteed. Like most of us, if we're employed,

111
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: we can get fired at any moment for any various reasons. Uh.

112
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: It's the one sport where in basketball they don't respect

113
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: the coaches anymore. The players tell the organizations what to do.

114
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: That's not how it works in football. Belichick told Tom

115
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: Brady what to do. Right. Think of all the players

116
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL, they have to answer to someone. It's

117
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: called the coach. The coach in the sport of football,

118
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: like most of us in real life, have a boss

119
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: we gotta relate to that. They don't get guaranteed money.

120
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: They get cut at any moment. Uh, their careers are

121
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: relatively short, so you realize, like in basketball, in baseball,

122
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: some of these guys are just on scholarship. You're like,

123
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 1: h Jacobe Elsberry three more years left, seventy million dollars

124
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: old to him, It's like, God, the guy can't hit

125
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: two in football, that guy wuld be out of the

126
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 1: league and think about basketball. The dunk contest it became

127
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: like not cool to do. Like none of the star

128
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: players do it anymore. Why because they don't want to

129
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: embarrass themselves. It's like, guys, it's okay to miss a dunk.

130
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: We're not gonna kill you for long, but when you

131
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: live on social media, you think you're gonna get crushed forever.

132
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: The NFL, you had the greatest quarterback ever who claims

133
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: he's in Nate Eyeball and Tom looked more like a thirteen.

134
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: But I get it. Michael Jordan's you know, uh notorious

135
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: for having reverse handicap. For those of you non golfers,

136
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: that's when you're like too prideful even though you suck,

137
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: you post better scores than you're actually shooting, so your

138
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: handicap is higher, like Tom Brady ain't shooting Nightie, like

139
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: I just watched him. Now, Tom Brady is probably better

140
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: than he played. But anyone who's if you're listening, you're

141
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: the worst golfer ever, or you're a scratch golfer. You

142
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: understand the nerves that go along with golf. You stand there,

143
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: you have a couple of random people, maybe the force

144
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: them behind you watching you hit, get nervous. Tom Brady

145
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: looked nervous. Peyton Manning, who acted cool and just he's

146
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: great personality. They kind of put themselves out there, six

147
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: million people watching these guys played golf. Neither of them

148
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: are pro golfers. They're football players, so I mean, it's

149
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: like kind of humanize them. It really did. Tom Brady

150
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: say what you want? He's gotten a little weird avocado

151
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: ice cream and doing She's out there, you know, And

152
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: at first the first couple of holes, he's like, why

153
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: is Tom not talking? Turns out his mic didn't work.

154
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: Then he finally hits a shot in he's jabbing Barkley,

155
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: He's jabbing Peyton just cool. You know. They put themselves

156
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: in a position with the greatest golfer in my opinion

157
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: of all time, and Phil who's just never shuts up

158
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: great but also kind of like Peyton, a great personality,

159
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: and it was just fun. They're just out there being

160
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: loose while also kind of being tight and competitive and

161
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: seeing two guys who are I mean, as famous as

162
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: you can get in Payton Manning and Tom Brady playing golf.

163
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: Now I get it for charity and it's not maybe

164
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: as crazy as I'm making it out to be, but

165
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you see a lot of athletes in

166
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: other sports put themselves in front of that many people

167
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: something they're not that good at. You know, Peyton plays

168
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: that little power draw and Tom was hitting it, spread

169
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: it all over the place. I mean, Tom looked like

170
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have broken a hundred on the first several holes.

171
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: I kind of got it together. He kind of got

172
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: it together. But it was cool watching them in that environment.

173
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: It really was. And they they they they are great

174
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: showman and those two guys, just like Larry Bird and

175
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: Magic once upon a time for the NBA, they bring

176
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: an element. Peyton probably more as a showman, but Tom

177
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: just the way he conducts himself, Tom sneaky, can let

178
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: it loose, and you could tell anyone you know, if

179
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: you've played golf and you're having an awful day, it

180
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: can put you in a terrible mood. So I understand,

181
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: And why Tom you could tell like try not to swear.

182
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: Tom wanted to start snapping clubs. Now he held it

183
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: together and he got the train back on the tracks.

184
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: But I thought, just watching all those guys interact was

185
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: you can't ask for anything better from a television product. Now,

186
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't cooler because there's nothing else on. Probably a

187
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: little bit. But when you throw Michael Jordan's on the screen,

188
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: or you throw Tom Brady, Peyton Manning Tiger Woods on

189
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: a television event, people are gonna watch. They just are.

190
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: If it had been Kirk Cousins, Phil Mickelson and Dak Prescott,

191
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: probably not as many people watch, like the stars sell.

192
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. This thing went viral last week.

193
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: I actually heard it. I was in the car. I

194
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: didn't hear the part. But sometimes when I'm on a

195
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: long drive, I'll flip on Howard Stern, And if Howard

196
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: has a guest on, it's just always must listen, whether

197
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: it's a musician, whether it's an act, or whoever it is,

198
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: just because Howard's a great interviewer, and he had on

199
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld and it was just just it's just great.

200
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: It's just a smooth conversation. And I saw this clip

201
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: that went viral where Howard was trying to say, you

202
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: know the reason, it's kind of crazy how we both

203
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: became so famous. I never dreamed when I was a

204
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: nobody that I would My goal wasn't to get this rich.

205
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: I just willed myself. I wasn't gonna fail. My goal

206
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: wasn't to become worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It

207
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: was basically, like he was saying, it was all will

208
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: was the reason he made it. And Jerry's like, you know, actually,

209
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call bs on that. The reason you made

210
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: it was actually because I love because you loved radio.

211
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: And Jerry's like, the reason I made it is because

212
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: I loved comedy. I think about I can do seven.

213
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: She's just always on my mind. I love it. And

214
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: I think when you love, and I think they're right.

215
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: When you love something, you don't even think when you're

216
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: doing extra. You know, it's it's why I have to

217
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: talk about sports or be in the sports world, you know,

218
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: for a living. Because most other things I don't like.

219
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: I don't like something, it's hard for me to put

220
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: much time into it. I know myself and I'm not

221
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: some Harvard intellect that I can just overcome it and

222
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: half ascid and still be great and prevent I'll fail.

223
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: So luckily this I'm recording this like eight o'clock on

224
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: a Monday night and moral day week. I don't even care.

225
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: But it just get to talk about the match. Did

226
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: I get to do it for a living? I gotta

227
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: check for doing this, you know, But I don't even

228
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: think about like I can read it, do sports stuff,

229
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: talk about this do it comes easy and anyone who's

230
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: listening that really likes what they do. You can be

231
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: sitting at you like sometimes you look at your desk,

232
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: You're like, god, I I got up at six in

233
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: the morning to work on a project, right, and you

234
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: don't even think about it. But if you're doing it

235
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: for someone else and something you don't like, you might

236
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: not do it now. Sometimes we have to do things

237
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: that we don't like to do. But when you really

238
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: love something like Michael Jordan, when you watch that Jordan documentary,

239
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: you go that guy loves basketball like Michael Jordan could

240
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: not love basketball anymore. And I think when you watch

241
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: the match, you realize definitely with golf. I say this

242
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: all the time about Tiger Woods. He has back fusions,

243
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: he has knee surgeries, torn achilles, he's hurt everything, he's

244
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: had d u I s, he's had a public divorce.

245
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: He's worth more money than God. He does not need

246
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: to be doing this anymore. And you watch that match,

247
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: and my big takeaway was, holy hell, Tiger looks fantastic.

248
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: Tiger is going to win more golf tournaments. Is he

249
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: ever gonna win the Masters again or more majors? I

250
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean it's hard. I hope so. But

251
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: he's going to win more golf tournaments. You watch that guy,

252
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: You go, yeah, he's I don't know if he's Pete

253
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, two thousand Tiger Woods, but he's top ten

254
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: locked maybe top five player in the world right now.

255
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: He's been in quarantine for two months. He's forty four

256
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: years old, and the dude just eat breeze, sleeps. He

257
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: loves golf. He loves everything about golf. With if you

258
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: there's no way you could be that good without loving

259
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: the sport. And say with Phil you're Phil talking about

260
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: like a chip. He's breaking it down like you would

261
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: Belichick talking about a football play, talking about the way

262
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: the grass grows. I play a lot of golf. I'm like,

263
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I've never even thought about that. He's like

264
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: the dark patch of grass, and like, what the hell

265
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: is he talking about? But these guys are just nuts.

266
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: They love it. I mean they're addicted to it. And

267
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: I think when you look at Tom and you look

268
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: at Peyton, you know, I've always thought that Peyton Peyton

269
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: wasn't as physically gifted as Tom. Uh. Probably similar athletes,

270
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: but Tom had a much more explosive arm. And when

271
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: you have a more explosive arm and you're playing in

272
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: the elements, it's easier to overcome bad passes. It's why

273
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: Peyton's passes sometimes in the elements can float. You know.

274
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: It's like you can get away with mitching missing your

275
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: pitch location if you're throwing nine, but if you're throwing one,

276
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: if you're facing a good hitter, that might be off

277
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: the wall. And I think sometimes Peyton, who I remember

278
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: asking a guy when I scouted Uh. They work for

279
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos. At the time, they had just signed him.

280
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's it like having Peyton in the building.

281
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: They're like, bro, it's crazy. We had to take a

282
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: couple of the scouts because he's so specific on ways

283
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: he breaks down every game he needs help. And I

284
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: remember talking to some guys in Indie. They're like, oh,

285
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: kind of glad he won't left. It's just he's a lot.

286
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, seven three sixty paid manning with football. You

287
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: can't become that addicted if you don't love it. Tom

288
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: Brady literally said on Tom Versus Time, I've dedicated my life. Dude,

289
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: it's avocado ice cream. Tomatoes doesn't need somehow. He gets

290
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: skinnier as he get older. He's just at forty two

291
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: years old. He's signed a two year contract to keep playing. Like,

292
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: what is Tom Brady playing for? He's got six Super Bowls.

293
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean those two guys combined. Peyton had been to three.

294
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: Tom had been a nine, had been in twelve Super Bowls.

295
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Peyton didn't want to quit playing football. He had no choice.

296
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: His body just took a crap on him. He couldn't

297
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: go anymore. Tom. He says he's gonna end at forty five.

298
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. The dude is addicted. You could see

299
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: it on his face, like when they started competing on golf,

300
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: like how Maddie was. But he's like, you know, this

301
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: is for charity. I'm not gonna swear, even though a

302
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: couple of times it kind of the volume disappeared and

303
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, I think someone just dropped an F bomb,

304
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: and probably Tom. It ain't Tiger. He's splitting every fairway,

305
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: hitting the ten feet in every green. Tom was pissed,

306
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: And I think all those guys you have the utmost admiration.

307
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: Like as a sports fan, if you're a diehard of

308
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: whatever team you watch, all you want to know is like,

309
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: my best players couldn't care anymore, right that they are

310
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: all in. We're not gonna win every game. But I

311
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: have these guys they're giving all their chips through in

312
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: the middle of the table. We all know that's just

313
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: not the case, right. I Mean last year we could

314
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: go team by team and like, let's quarterback kind of

315
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: half asted. This guy had, wasn't it held this coach

316
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: he had a foot out the door. If you have takee.

317
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, you on your team. Every

318
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: chip they had was in the middle of the table

319
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: on top of just every ounce of energy goes toward

320
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: winning a football game. And I just I that Jerry

321
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: Seinfeldt thing where he's like to be truly great at

322
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: something you that you gotta love it. And I think

323
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: those guys, those four, the two with golf and the

324
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: two of football, just I don't think could have loved

325
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: their sport anymore. And the the overall product I just

326
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: thought was fantastic. H I played golf on Sunday and

327
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: when I got back, I watched the whole twelve through eighteen.

328
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: I got back to my place today, I had a

329
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 1: d V DV yard and the first like ten eleven

330
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: holes that it was fantastic. It was. It was so

331
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: cool to watch. I'm really glad they did it and

332
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: had a had a great viewing experience. Okay, let's dive

333
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: into the Middlecoff mail bag at John Middlecoff is my

334
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: insta direct messages. Fire run in there and you get

335
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: your question asked here. I saw one story that happened

336
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: over the long weekend was Jamal Adams. Like I don't

337
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: really have a take on Jamal Adams and whether they're

338
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: gonna trade him. It's like, bro, you've been in the

339
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: league three years. Your team's awful. I like you as

340
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: a player, but we just need to calm down. Uh

341
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: the Jamal Adams talk. You know, I don't blame the Jets.

342
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: I would not give him historic money. Let's see if

343
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: we can win with the guy. Is he a winning player?

344
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: I think he is. I think he's good. But I

345
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: just I'm a little Jamal Adams out. And I like

346
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: the player, you know, But gosh, I mean, he's in

347
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: the storylines and the headlines and coming across the ticker

348
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: and on my Twitter account a little too much for

349
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: a guy that I don't know has never had a

350
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: meaningful snap in the NFL. Not all his fault. I mean,

351
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: it's a team game. But geez, Louise, do you think

352
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones a franchise quarterback from Ben That's a good question.

353
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: I I would lean no right now. Uh. To me,

354
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: he had some moments that first game. I think it

355
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: was against Tampa this year when he filled in for Eli,

356
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: he was fantastic. Now, I I'd be lying if I

357
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: said I watched every Daniel Jones snap this year. But

358
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: I see a good athlete. He's got a solid arm.

359
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Kind of hard to judge. I mean their their line

360
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: was atrocious. He didn't really have great, you know, offensive

361
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: weapons besides se Quon Uh, I'm pretty sure did David

362
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: Devin Ingram get hurt. But you know, Odell Beckham and

363
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: those type guys weren't walking through the door. I would

364
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: lean No. Now, I like him more than I thought

365
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: when everyone including myself thought them taking him at six

366
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: was insane, Like he had some moments. Maybe he could

367
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: be a you know, seven eight year starting quarterback. When

368
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: I when I think franchise quarterback, like is Kirk Cousins,

369
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: The franchise quarterback is Dakas franchise quarterback? Like when I

370
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: say franchise quarterback, like, to me, there aren't. There aren't

371
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: twenty franchise quarterbacks. How many guys are in the league

372
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: right now? Right Rogers, Russell Mahomes, Wentz is Jimmy Garoppolo

373
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback? I think so, But we'll see. Let's see

374
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: him start three years and see how it goes. Uh,

375
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: you know Deshaun Watson, franchise quarterback, Drew Brees, you know

376
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: Brady was obviously to me, there aren't the franchise quarterback

377
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: gets thrown around. I think a little too liberally. Sometimes

378
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: a lot like an NBA star, you know, like to me,

379
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: they're a handful of NBA star. She put them on

380
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: your team. You got a chance to win the win

381
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: the championship. That's it's like a list of five or six. Now,

382
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: there are a lot of famous players. It doesn't mean

383
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: they're like superstar players. You know that there's a small

384
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: list like Anthony Davis, stud player all Star. Is he

385
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: a superstar? We can't be the A on a really

386
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: good team. He's gotta be the B. You know. Clay Thompson,

387
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson is a is very famous and is a

388
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: championship level player, but he can't be the A on

389
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: A on a winning team, on a team that's gonna

390
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: win the finals. Right. I love and I love Clay Thompson,

391
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: but he's got to be your second best player. Ideally,

392
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: if he's your third best player, you're in really good shape.

393
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: M I'm a farmer in Maryland. Enjoy your podcast twice

394
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: a week only. I listened to it on a regular basis.

395
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: Some content suggestions for the pod? How about a top

396
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: ten games on the schedule you're looking most for watching

397
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: forward to watching this year? And therefore maybe a list

398
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: maybe you predict records of each team and a division

399
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: breakdown division in a pod that will give you eight

400
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: extra stegments. I like, where your heads at. I think

401
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: last year in the summer we did that and that

402
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 1: was before the Corona. So yeah, I mean I think

403
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: we'll go maybe division by division. I like saving you know,

404
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: you can't empty the clip may so that's that's probably something.

405
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I guess june's right around the corner. Maybe maybe

406
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: we could attack in June some division by division. Uh,

407
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: maybe we'll do some stuff coming up for sure, Maybe

408
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: have some guests on over the summer. I usually don't

409
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: do guests, you know, unless they're huge guests. We've had

410
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: obviously the coaches when I went to the Combine and

411
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer. But I've written down some ideas kind of

412
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: go off the wall, you know this, I only get

413
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: so many, you know, doing a podcast twice a week

414
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: for Colin, Like I like to give my own takes,

415
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, we hear a million podcasts and

416
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: just shows with guests, and it's like if I don't

417
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: have a relationship with the guy, you know, I think

418
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, it can be very hit or miss

419
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: with the guests, and I'll be completely honest, like I'm not.

420
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't claim to be Howard Stern is an interviewer.

421
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: I think I give a more entertaining podcast just me talking,

422
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: unless it's like Carson Palmer and who just liked me

423
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,239
Speaker 1: and gave a great interview, or Andy Reid or how

424
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: we guys that I know, or Matt Naggie And uh,

425
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know Belichick, so I can't call

426
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: him where I would. I'm a lifelong Seattle Seahawks fan,

427
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: and we basically make the playoffs every year. Last year,

428
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: I thought we had enough to make a serious run

429
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl before we were struck with injuries

430
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: and all three of our running backs were injured within

431
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: a game to go in the season. Was pretty nuts.

432
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: What do you think the team needs to do to

433
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: get over the hill and get back to the super Bowl. Well,

434
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: your injury luck was really shitty last year. That there's

435
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: no way around that, because you were you were six

436
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: inches away from beating the forty niners and having a

437
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: home field. By now, you would have been in trouble

438
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: just because of all the injuries. And remember going into

439
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: that Niner game. You had a bunch of injuries, and

440
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: I think you lost someone in the Niner game. So

441
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: it was just a crazy time. But when I look

442
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: at Seattle one big their offense is more explosive than

443
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: it was in the LB days. Obviously their secondary is

444
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: nowhere close, but their defensive line hasn't been that good

445
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: when they were really good. I vitually remember going when

446
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: Seattle was really taken off against the Harbos Niners, and

447
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: even like the Gym Tom Sula Niner team and their

448
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: pass rush with April, with Michael Bennett being able to

449
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: line him up everywhere, uh Bruce Irvan, that they were

450
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: just so explosive up front and then clearly they could cover,

451
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: and then with kJ Wright and uh Bobby Wagner they

452
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: were just tackling machines that they were just so complete.

453
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: When I watch him now, they just they just lacked

454
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: talent on defense. Now they've drafted guys the last couple

455
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: of years early in the first round. Last year they

456
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: took the pass rusher. Was early in the first round,

457
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: or I mean at the end of the first round,

458
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: or might have been early in the second round. I

459
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: forget John Snyder trades back all the time, but I

460
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: think it was actually in the first round. He was

461
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: a healthy scratch all year, the pass rusher from TCU.

462
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: Then they drafted this guy from Texas Tech. Like those

463
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: guys gotta be good like you. They need some impact

464
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: players on defense. You know, they trade last year for

465
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: Clowney who you know beside the night or Monday night

466
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: game when he looked like Lawrence Taylor can just kind

467
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: of be hit or miss. Now, who knows, maybe he

468
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: could come back. It's like, Clowney, what are you doing

469
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: on the free agent market? Just just sign a contract

470
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: and play for Seattle like no, No one's offering you

471
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars a year. Fantasy question for you. Ten

472
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: full team PPR league. I'm keeping Hopkins and Mike Evans.

473
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a wide receiver three. I had both

474
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: Sutton and Allen Robinson on my team and both played

475
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: extremely well. Obviously, the quarterback situation in Denver and Chicago

476
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: have changed. Robinson was number eight last year with Rabisky,

477
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: and I now have Foals is an up and I

478
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: know Foles is an upgrade. The small sample size we

479
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: saw with Drew Lock was positive, so he appears to

480
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: have a higher ceiling. With Sutton being the number one

481
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: guy in Denver, that should increase his value tremendously. Who

482
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: would you rather have and why I think I would

483
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: go with Allen Robinson simply because I'm with the Suddon's

484
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good player. But look what they did. They

485
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: took Fan last year in the first round. They added

486
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy this year in the first round, and they

487
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: added kJ Hamdler, So you just got a lot of

488
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: past catching threats to go around. And then this offseason

489
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: they add Melvin Gordon as a running back and Pat

490
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: Tremors in the new OC. They're gonna pound the run.

491
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: I like Drew Lock the little that I saw of

492
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: him last year. He looks like really talented. You know

493
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't love him come out of Missouri.

494
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: I can't pretend I broke down every one of his

495
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: throws at Missouri. But I just remember last year watching

496
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: him going like, I think they got something there. But

497
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: they just got a lot of Maw's defeat and they're

498
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to run the ball where you where

499
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: you look at the Bears, Allen Robinson is clearly the

500
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: best wide receiver you go to Foles, who if I

501
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: remember correctly, when Foles came in for whence multiple years,

502
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: that's when al Sean started playing well. Because he likes

503
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: throwing the ball up to guys with big catching radiuses.

504
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: Well that's Allen Robinson style, big catching radius. Now, listen,

505
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't claim to be some dominant fantasy player, but

506
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: if you just think it I logically, then that's how

507
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: I look at it. I'm a Bengals fan, and I

508
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: have noticed the kids are now running most of the

509
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: operations now, not Mike Brown. Can the Bengals turn around

510
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: with better family management? And have you ever noticed that

511
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: it happened to a football franchise before with change of hands.

512
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know the family has taken on a bigger role.

513
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: When I was at the combine, I got an elevator

514
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and Mike Brown was on the elevator,

515
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: So I think he plays still a pretty big role. Now,

516
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: if you're a big Bengals fan, you'd know better than

517
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: me on the day to day operations. I know the

518
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: is it is it is his daughter in law or

519
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: his daughter. I think it's his daughter in law who

520
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: was like the contract negotiator. They clearly are a family

521
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: run business. To me, it's just when they had a

522
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 1: good coach and Marvin Lewis, they drafted well, they had

523
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: a good team. It's not like the Bengals are the Browns.

524
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: They've made the playoffs in the last fifteen years. I

525
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: don't know, just off the top of my head, I

526
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: guess like six six times. They've won the division before

527
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: like that, maybe seven times. Like they've had success and

528
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis made the playoffs a lot. I didn't win

529
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but they were winning double digit games. It

530
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago. I remember going Week one when

531
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals played the Raiders, and like two thousand fifteen,

532
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: that was a year that the Bengals really good and

533
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: they beat the crap out of him. I remember coming

534
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: out of warmups like this, they got a squad. So

535
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals. I don't think Mike Brown for

536
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: as much as he kind of gets made fun of

537
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: because he's an old, frumpy looking guy and he's, you know,

538
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: known as kind of a cheap guy. The Bengals have

539
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: not really been poorly run over the last since they

540
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: hired Marvin Lewis. It was just one year with the

541
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor guy, and I saw a stat where they

542
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: were in I think twelve of the sixteen games one

543
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: score in the second half, So they actually weren't as

544
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: terrible I think, as we all think, including myself. But

545
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 1: that's good. That's a good question. Thanks for pumping out

546
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: the content, huge college football fan. My question relates to Michigan.

547
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer recently mentioned that Michigan hasn't been competing for

548
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: recruits in Ohio like they used to. I don't feel

549
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: like it's a street fight anymore, which is surprising considering

550
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: Michigan's track record of stealing great players out of Ohio.

551
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: Is that where Charles Wilsons from? Does the show that

552
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: in an era of national recruiting pipelines, there is still

553
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: something to be said about taking care of the backyard

554
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: local recruits. Yeah, I mean I I'll be honest. I

555
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: can only go so deep on this topic about the

556
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: recruiting with Michigan in the state of Ohio, but I

557
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: I do think there is a balance. I'm with you

558
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: when I think hardball, and clearly since he's got there,

559
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: he's taken on a huge national scope. Right, try to

560
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: get sweet guys in Florida, try to get sweet guys

561
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: in California, Texas, whatever. Well, if he's missing out of

562
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: guys in his quote unquote backyard or just that he

563
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: should go toe to toe on with Ohio State. Yeah,

564
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: it's a problem. You could also counter, well, if he's

565
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: losing to Ohio State, can I really crush him? Now?

566
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: If he's losing that guy to like Wisconsin or Penn State,

567
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: then we got a problem. But if if if Hardball,

568
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: if there's John middlecoffin Ohio, in Ohio and I am

569
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: some stud linebacker and I choose to go to Ohio State, Like,

570
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: is that on Michigan? Now, if I choose to go

571
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: to Iowa State, or if I choose to go to Oklahoma,

572
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: Like if I'm a if I'm a blue chip, you know,

573
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: power five elite guy and I don't go to Michigan

574
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: and he wants me, yeah, then then we got a problem.

575
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: But I'll be again, I can't speak to the you know,

576
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: specific examples on this. I think Hardball he had seven

577
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: guys drafted this year. It was it ten. I had

578
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: a written down on the previous show. I brought it

579
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: up before, Like they produce a ton of NFL guys.

580
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: The last couple of years, Hardbus pumped a ton of

581
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: NFL guys like they're they're recruiting, well, they're developing well,

582
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: they just don't have a quarterback. It's like, Jim, you

583
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: gotta get a quarterback. I'm a Jim hardball guy. But

584
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: you can't keep rolling out the scrubs. You're rolling out

585
00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: you you're never gonna win anything. Like you gotta find

586
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know, like why can't they land like

587
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: a Trevor Lawrence. Why can't they land find a Justin Herbert?

588
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: Like not every Trevor Lawrence is a five star. Justin

589
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: Herbert was a no name. The Clayton Slovenst guy at

590
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: a USC it was like a three star guy. Other

591
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: programs are finding good quarterbacks, find it. Jordan's love to develop.

592
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, find someone that. That to me is

593
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: hard Boss problem right now. They can't find a quarterback.

594
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: They have enough talent at other positions. Do you think

595
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: that Matt Naggi is part to blame for Mitch trabisky

596
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: struggles for the game against Detroit and the Cowboys. I

597
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: can't say Nett Naggie got full credit in my second question.

598
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers should trade for Rosen for I

599
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: believe Mike Tomlin can groom him. What do you say, uh,

600
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Matt Naggie. Mr r Bisky, Well, I just don't think

601
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: Mr Bhisky is that good. Would Mr Bisky look good

602
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: with Belichick? Would Mr Whisky look good with Andy Reid?

603
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: Would Mr Whisky look good with Kyle Shanahan? Not the

604
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: guy I watched last year. Now, if you wanted to

605
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: nitpick play collings and specific games, one thing I would

606
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: disagree with, You know Naggy on his scheme a little bit. Now,

607
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: he's an NFL coach, He's won a division I just scouted,

608
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: and he's my guy. But sometimes his offense, Like I'm

609
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: a little more of a traditionalist. I like playing with

610
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: a fullback. I like my quarterback going under center, and

611
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: I like being able to run the ball down your throat. Now,

612
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: what I saw last year, they were just in the

613
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: shotgun all the time, and I think when you get

614
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: under center it can just calm things down. If you

615
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: have a fullback and just slam people, it just helps

616
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: everyone breathe a little bit, and then you can hit

617
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: play action. You can also run. I love the shotgun

618
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't mind having the quarterback in the shotgun with

619
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: the running back sitting next to him, but sometimes the

620
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: gun runs. Again, that's a little soft to me. Now,

621
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: I understand that everyone's doing it, but I enjoy slamming

622
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: the ball. Now, Coach Read can get away with that

623
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. He had Alex Smith, who was really accurate,

624
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: and he has Mahomes now, who's just one of the

625
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: best players we've ever seen. Like Mitch. If Mitch is

626
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna succeed, they have to have a more consistent running game. Now,

627
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: they got a tight end in the draft. Uh, they

628
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: got Nick Foles. I mean it might not even matter, right,

629
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, this just might be better suited for that offense. Hell,

630
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: he is better student for that offense. Nick Foles is

631
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: just a better player than Mr Bisky. Right, Mitch had

632
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: one good season, it was under Matt Maggie. His other

633
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: two he's looked awful. And the Josh Rosen thing. Yeah,

634
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't be against it if I was

635
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Now, Mike Tomlin doesn't coach quarterback, so it

636
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: would be it'd kind of be on Roethlisberger and the

637
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: quarterback coach slash offensive coordinator, they figure out Rosen Tomlins,

638
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: just could Tomlin help him out confidence wise, mentality wise?

639
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: Could that the Steelers organization? And you know for sure?

640
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: But like he's not gonna work on his footwork in

641
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: the pocket a practice if that's what you're saying. I'm

642
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: not very caught up on all the episodes, but I'm

643
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: getting there. So I'm not sure if you've answered this.

644
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: Do you see Stidham being the answer or do you

645
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: see Bill going with the vet Hoyer trying to run

646
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: a similar offense we are used to seeing in New England. Well,

647
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,479
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's gonna try to win games, so week one

648
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: he will start whoever he thinks better. Now, Jared Stidham

649
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: has been in the system now a year, so he's

650
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: going to know the offense. Jared Stidham is physically more

651
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: gifted than Brian Hoyer. But if he feels that Brian

652
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: Hoyer is better week one, he'll start. And if he's

653
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: just in the mix, he'll just play with who's ever

654
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: playing better. But I think Stidham is just more talented

655
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer, so he'll end up starting. You know week one,

656
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: is he quote unquote the answer I got no clue.

657
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: Neither do the Patriots. That to me is why you

658
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: have to play him, and it's why that maybe after

659
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: a couple of games, unless they're in like the playoff hunt,

660
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 1: if he isn't starting, which I think is unlikely, we're

661
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of Stidham, and Belichick is gonna

662
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: see what he has, and if he has something, he'll

663
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: roll with him. If he doesn't, he'll just upgrade in

664
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: this offseason. He'll be very black and white with it.

665
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: I don't think he's tied to him. I don't think

666
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: he's worried. If he's good enough, great. I think he

667
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: wants him to be good. He drafted the guy. But

668
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: if he's not, they No one pivots faster than Bill Belichick, right,

669
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: nobody pivots faster. Like in golf, you grab a Mulligan like,

670
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: he'll just he'll just grab another ball. You know. If

671
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: Stidham like is an out of bound shot, let's be okay,

672
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: just hit a provisional hit another one. We'll just do

673
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: something else. So sit him. You can't ask for anything more, now,

674
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: I mean you can't. Ideally, you don't want to be

675
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: the guy that attempts to replace Tom Brady. But that's

676
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: just his it's also his opportunity. Is Tom leaving creates

677
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 1: his opportunity. I'm a Bills fan. Based on our schedule,

678
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: I can't see us ending up with nine plus wins

679
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: this season. Please prove me wrong. Well, you guys play

680
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: the a f C and NFC West, so those are

681
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: very very tough games, right. The both divisions are really

682
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: really good. Uh. I think the NFC West probably the

683
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: most talented division in football. I think you guys, if

684
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, play the Niners at Levi's on Monday

685
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: Night football. It's just I think the Bills are good,

686
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: and if you're a good team, you win nine plus games,

687
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: you're in the a f C East, where you now

688
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: should have the best team with Tom being gone. Uh,

689
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, is it gonna be easy? Listen, I understand

690
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: the schedule moves the needle. We all get fired up

691
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: talking about it. The hypotheticals every year on the schedule

692
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: there are just that hypotheticals. We have no clue who's

693
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: gonna be injured. It's a huge part of football, unlike

694
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: the other two sports, injuries. There's a reason every week

695
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: there's an injury report. So you have major injuries, you

696
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: have weekly injuries. They impact the sport greatly. One two.

697
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: Every year we see teams that sucked and then turn

698
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: around are good. So you go, well, the god, the

699
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: NFC West was really good. Well if Arizona takes a

700
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: step back and so to the ramps and all of

701
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, you're like, wow, I thought the

702
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 1: NFC West was really good. Turns out it's not as good.

703
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: Maybe San Francisco takes a little step back. Instead of

704
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: winning thirteen games, they win ten. In Seattle is just Seattle.

705
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: They're not as talented, but they got Russell Wilson or

706
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: the a f C West for like, all these teams

707
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: are on the come. What if the Raiders actually aren't

708
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: and they're not any good? And then oh what if

709
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor stinks and they're not any good? And Denver Broncos,

710
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: what if Drew Lock isn't good? So you just you

711
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: never know. You got Miami, you got the Jets, you

712
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: got you know, an unknown Patriot team. I think you'll

713
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: be fine. If I'm a Bills fan, I'm like, bring

714
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: it freaking on. We got a legit defense, we got

715
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 1: a legit coach. We got a very talented young quarterback.

716
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: We just added digs the one thing that would impact

717
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: the Bills, and I think it would impact several teams

718
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but for the Bills specifically, like the Chiefs,

719
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: they have a huge home field advantage. But they're the

720
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: best team in the league. So whether there's seventy thousand

721
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: people they or zero, they still got Patrick Mahomes Nanny Reid.

722
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: They're gonna kick most people's asses. The Bills that having

723
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: that home field advantage for a team that, let's face it,

724
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: has never really done anything. Now. They made the playoffs

725
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: two of the last three years, but they've been one

726
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: and done in both times. They've never accomplished any they

727
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: haven't won the division. Their fan base doesn't matter, and

728
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: they have a raucous place, So if no fans that

729
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: that would impact them. I'm a diehard Falcons fan and

730
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: wanted to get your opinion on how you think they

731
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: will do. Considering how stack the NFC South is, do

732
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: you think the Falcons passing on Ceedee Lamb was a

733
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: mistake or did they make the right pick on a

734
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 1: reach for a j Terrell. Talking to people in the league,

735
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: they thought A J. Rrell was a second or the

736
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: excuse me, the best corner after the top two. So

737
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: no one was shocked that he went in the first round.

738
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: Now I don't know anybody, just like probably most fans

739
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: that would say I'd rather have a J. Terrell than

740
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, Like every board in the league probably had

741
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb above a J. Terrell, which could include the Falcons.

742
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: They were desperate for a corner, and I think sometimes

743
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: when you when you're desperate for a position and you

744
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 1: force it, sometimes you can make a wrong decision. Now listen,

745
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: I try to be you know, not overreact. I mean

746
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: I naturally do we all do, but like it just

747
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: what if? Is it? What if Aga Turrell is the

748
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: best corner in the class, like we see all the time, guys,

749
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: miss I thought d Milner was gonna be a stud.

750
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: Dude sucked more. Claiborne wasn't any good. Like corners are

751
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: very very hit or miss. Everyone acted like Akuda's the

752
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: next I don't know Dion Sanders, we'll see he went

753
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: to Detroit. Probably won't be any good, right, I mean

754
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: they just they miss on a lot more picks than

755
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: they hit. Actually they take good players. They just don't

756
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: play as well for Detroit, then they leave and then

757
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: they play well. But yeah, I just think the Falcons

758
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: when you look at the division you go, the Saints

759
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: to me are the heavy favorite. If Tom and Arians

760
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: can mesh, they're gonna be really good and the Panthers

761
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: are gonna stink. So what Falcons am I getting? Am

762
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: I getting the team that was atrocious the first you know,

763
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: seven eight games last year? Or am I getting the

764
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: team down the stretch that pulled names out of a

765
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: hat and switched positions and coordinators and beat the forty

766
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: Niners down the stretch in San Francisco? I don't know.

767
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: The guessing on how good the Falcons are gonna be

768
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: is probably of all the teams in sports, probably the

769
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: one of the hardest. Big fan of your show. It

770
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: has become my go to sports podcast. My question is

771
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: kind of a random one, but whatever happened to AJ McCarron.

772
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: Not a big talent or anything, but I do remember

773
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be the next Brown's quarterback before they

774
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: botched the trade. I think A J. McCarron is the

775
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: backup for the Houston Texans right now. Why don't the

776
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: Colts get Cam Newton. If Philip Rivers couldn't do much

777
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: with tons of blue chip talent around him in l A,

778
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: why do they think they're gonna go in Indie? Well,

779
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: why don't they just keep Jacoby Brissett as the starter?

780
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: He wasn't half bad either and came through the Belichick system.

781
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: Uh well, I think Rivers that their head coach and

782
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator love them. I think they're just betting

783
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: on Rivers had one terrible season, it's gonna bounce right back.

784
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily agree with that, but that's what they're thinking.

785
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: And when you give Rivers twenty five million dollars and

786
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: you have Jacoby Brissette as the backup, and then you

787
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: draft Jacob Eeson, you just can't sign Cam Newton. That's

788
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: it's It's just not even an option. It's not even

789
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: an option. Diehard forty Niner fans since eighty seven? Why

790
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 1: does the national media ship on everything we do always

791
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: a negative take, whether we are a good team or

792
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: a bad team. Tell me, I'm crazy. If you have

793
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: to have a grown man, I can't take it. You're

794
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: the only real forty Niners media guy follow I don't

795
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: live in the US, so I have a different outlook

796
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: on media coverage of my team. I'll be honest, I

797
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: I feel like the Niners get a lot of positive

798
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: pub you know, in general, the West Coast teams don't

799
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: get talked about as much as you know the East

800
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: Coast teams. Is just the nature of it. Uh. I

801
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: am up until Fox Sports one built at l A.

802
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: I mean, all the media is based in New York

803
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: and Bristol, Connecticut as US you know, just as blue

804
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: collar West Coast people, just the Northeast elites. You know,

805
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: they talked about the Jets at nauseum, never shut up

806
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: about the Giants or the Redskins. I mean it's like God,

807
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: which I get. I mean, you just talk about the

808
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: teams that you see and't care about the most and

809
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: most of the people that have worked for ESPN over

810
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: the years have just been East Coast people. But I

811
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: think there's more balance now. And I also think the

812
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: Niners are the biggest football brand on the West Coast

813
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: and when they're good, people like him and Kyle Shanahan's

814
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: got a lot of respect, right. I think the probably

815
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: the one negative thing is the questioning of Jimmy Garoppolin.

816
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: That's fair. I mean, he had one. He's been a

817
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,720
Speaker 1: one year starter. Now I think people are probably overly

818
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: critical of them. But okay, it's just it's a fair

819
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: conversation to have. Love the show. I'd like to know

820
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: your outs in North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance. Do

821
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: you think the jumps uh to the first round due

822
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: to the fact Carson Wentz is proven to be a

823
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback from the same school I've never seen him play.

824
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just I haven't watched that much North

825
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: Dakota State football. Uh, you still have the best Jerry

826
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 1: Jones impression ever. I appreciate that after a long World

827
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: Day weekend. I don't know if I can if I

828
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,959
Speaker 1: can do the Jerry right now. But yeah, I haven't

829
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: seen the North Dakota State guy. But you know, I

830
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: think I've seen some people tweeting about him in this

831
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: day and age, the buzz. You know, Carson Wentz. Whenever

832
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: you have a guy hit from a small school, that

833
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: school gets taken a lot more seriously down this, you know,

834
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: moving forward. So if this guy can play one, even

835
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: if Carson Wentz hadn't go to North Dakota state. If

836
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: this guy could play, people are gonna watch him. But

837
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: I do think Carson Wentz coming from there kind of

838
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: changes the game. I was hoping you could weigh in

839
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: on what you think about Tom Brady and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

840
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: I know a lot of media outlets are saying they'll

841
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: go eight and eight and maybe nine and seven. But

842
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm wondering with you, seeing their schedule, what you think

843
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: of as a realistic outcome will be for their season

844
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: and how deep you think they can go into the playoffs. Again,

845
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: the schedule thing. I think we make a big deal

846
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: about schedules every year. It's like the hardest schedule turns

847
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: into an easy schedule, a vice for you just never know,

848
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: you know. I mean a year ago the Packers were bad,

849
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: fired McCarthy and the Niners were bad and had the

850
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: number two overall pick. This year they were the one

851
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: and two seats in the NFC. I just think so

852
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: much can change. Tampa went seven and nine last year

853
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: with Jameis Winston, who threw thirty picks seven and nine,

854
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: So Tom Brady is easily worth two wins more than

855
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: jamis now. Bruce arians just wins. That's just what he does,

856
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: so those two guys, like, it's hard for me to

857
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: bet against them not having a winning record. Now with Corona,

858
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: they're not being able to practice, even though Tom's been

859
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: practicing with them. I think there is a chance that

860
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: they'll mesh fast, but there's also a chance that that

861
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: first month could be a little rocky working out some things.

862
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's you know him, Josh mcgannels and Bill Belichick

863
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: been together a long time. So now he's gonna go

864
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: to left Wich and arians with like Juliettlman and Gronk.

865
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: I I almost like Gronk's not walking through the door.

866
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: Gronk is walking through the door. I forgot that Gronk

867
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: is on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That will help, you know,

868
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: having Gronk there to talk to the tight ends and

869
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: wide receivers will help a lot. I actually think his

870
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: role is like a player quote unquote coach is probably

871
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 1: as big of a role as him being a player

872
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: on the team because there's a chance he doesn't have

873
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: that much left. There is a chance that he still

874
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: has a little left, you know, and he's still a

875
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: really good player. But him just being able to tell

876
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: O J. Howard or Mike Evans or Chris Godwin. This

877
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 1: is what Tom likes. This is what Tom means when

878
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: he says this. This is what Tom thinks when you're

879
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: running this route, and it's one thing when the coach

880
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: is telling you. It's another thing when you're eating a

881
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: chicken sandwich in the lunch room and Gronks sitting there like,

882
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: don't don't worry Tom. This is what Tom likes, and

883
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: it's just you hear it from another voice. So I

884
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be good. Um, I just I'll be

885
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: I just expect them to be a playoff team. It's

886
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: it's really that simple. I don't see if Tom stays healthy,

887
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: with their coaching staff and their talent on their roster,

888
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,720
Speaker 1: I just hard to see them not winning nine games,

889
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: and I think nine games in this two thousand and

890
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: twenty with the playoff format seven teams, you're in the playoffs.

891
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening. Happy Memorial Day, UH have a good week,

892
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: and UH talk to you a little later.
