1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff here with a little weekend mail bag. You

3
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: guys know the drill. We'd like to put these out,

4
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: give you something to listen to you while you're going

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: for a walk, hanging out. I just have so many

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: mail bag questions. I like getting through some of them

7
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: on this Saturday. I did a little bit on the

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: breaking news on Friday on Pete Carroll and seventy three

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: years old will be the head coach of the Raiders

10
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady and Mark Davis get their new head coach.

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: Who will team up? It looks like with John Spytech

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: and Liam Cohen. Drama in Tampa and Jacksonville. A couple

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: quick thoughts there as well, so we will discuss that

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: and other than that, not much going on, so make

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: sure you subscribe to the podcast. And let's rock and roll.

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: We got to start with Pete Carroll. The Raiders go

17
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: from one of the craziest stretches in recent memory of

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: coaches John Gruden to Josh McDaniels to Antonio Peers to

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. That's that's gonna be hard to top of.

20
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: It hasn't been that long. I mean we're talking like

21
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: three and a half years that they have had those

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: guys under contract as their head coaches. Big picture with

23
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, I admire this a lot about any human being,

24
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: and I give this advice to any young person looking

25
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: for direction in college or early on in their professional career.

26
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: Find what you love to do, and it makes life

27
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: a lot easier no matter what you end up doing

28
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: for a profession, even if you are addicted to it

29
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: and love it and it's your passion, that there is

30
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: elements that it becomes work. So you might as well

31
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: do what you like to do. And I don't think

32
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: it's possible to like football. And I would lump three

33
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: guys into this mix. Bill Belichick is Pete Carroll's age

34
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: as well, could not get an NFL job and just

35
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: went to North Carolina to coach football. Why because he

36
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: loves coaching football like it is deep deep into his soul.

37
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: I say this all the time, no matter how much

38
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: you think you like it as a fan, as someone

39
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: that follows your team, as someone that follows the league

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: or college football and watches a lot, you don't even

41
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: come close to liking it as much is guys like

42
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick, I've been around Andy Reid. I

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: always laugh whenever I see Andy Reid might retire. Have

44
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: you met Andy Reid? I'll promise you this. As long

45
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: as he is standing up straight, he's going nowhere. You

46
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: can't like football more than these guys. Pete Carroll's a

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: good example. Takes the Raider job, which I totally understand

48
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders hiring him that they have just a disaster,

49
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: and they've been a disaster for twenty plus years. They

50
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: just need to get the train back on the tracks.

51
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: It's like when you're down seven to nothing in a

52
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: baseball game in the eighth inning, you're not looking for

53
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: a solo home run, like just let's just get on base,

54
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: Let's just try to start a rally. Let's just get

55
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: a little momentum. Let's all of a sudden, we got

56
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: two guys on with a good hitter coming up. Let's

57
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: just let's just get something positive happening. And that's what

58
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders need. But when you look at Pete Carroll,

59
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: this is a guy who listen. I don't have access

60
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: to his bank account, but I think it's fair to

61
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: assume that he does not need any money. He has

62
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: been one of the highest paid coaches in the NFL

63
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: probably for close to a decade. And you know, reports

64
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: are he has been making fifteen to twenty million dollars

65
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: his last several years in Seattle. He's been a millionaire

66
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: since early on in the USC days. I mean, this

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: guy has been printing cash, so he does not need

68
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: any money. This is not some golden parachute. He has

69
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: been actively trying to get jobs the Jets, the Bears.

70
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: I want to become a head coach. Guys like Pete

71
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: Carroll and we've all met them obviously, you know, different industry.

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: He's the word retirement makes them cringe. The thought of

73
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: having nothing to do on a daily basis, that life

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: might as well end. He wants no part of that.

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: He wants to coach football. There have been reports for

76
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: the last several years if something ever were to happen

77
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: to Lincoln Riley and USC part ways him bounce, Pete

78
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: Carroll would be all over that job. He wants to coach.

79
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: And listen, he's seventy three years old. On the surface,

80
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: like that's kind of crazy. He clearly is one of

81
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: the youngest seventy three year olds in the history of

82
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: the world. Like, if you've been around him, if you've

83
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: seen him out of practice, if you've you know, I've

84
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: been to pregames where he's on the field. He has

85
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: a vibe of like a forty year old. He is

86
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: a young, young soul, and his energy you could argue

87
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: is unmatched. Definitely his chewing of gum. But like I

88
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: totally understand the Raiders, like, this is not about trying

89
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. This is not about trying

90
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: to become some like dominant team again. This is a

91
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: just like being a competitive football team, not being an embarrassment,

92
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: not having to fire a coach because they have no

93
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: fucking clue what they're doing in the middle of the season.

94
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: They did that with Josh McDaniels a year and a

95
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: half ago. They probably could have done it this year

96
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: with Antonio Pierce Pete Carroll. Now, I don't know if

97
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: this is gonna go well or not. If you don't

98
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: have a quarterback, it's very difficult to coach football. It

99
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: is very difficult, I guess, not to coach football, but

100
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: to win in the NFL. Like Aaron Glenn, Pete Carroll,

101
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: whoever tanks satan job if you don't have a quarterback

102
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: like you got no shot. I don't care if you're

103
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: Bill Walsh or I don't care if you're you know,

104
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: Jim tom Sula. You need that position solidify. You don't

105
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: need Patrick Mahomes, but you need someone credible there just

106
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: to move forward, and right now they don't have that,

107
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: so it's a difficult task. Pete Carroll doesn't care. You know,

108
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll would have taken any job. Pete Carroll I

109
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: think would take like a one year contract to coach football.

110
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: And I admire that because put yourself in his shoes.

111
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: If I told you right now, whatever you do for

112
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: a living, you're seventy three years old, you have an

113
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: unlimited amount of money in the bank to live, to

114
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: do nice things, to live like a king. I mean

115
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: you have when you do things in life, money is

116
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: not a worry. Would you still be that aspirational and

117
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: that ambitious to keep wanting to do what you've been

118
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: doing when money's no longer an issue when you're in

119
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: your seventies. I don't think most people would. I know

120
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: most people would not. And then I think you get

121
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: to retirement, you're like, what the hell am I going

122
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: to do. I love golf. I can only play it

123
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: a couple days in a row, Max, And I'm forty

124
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: years old, so I get where he's coming from. But like,

125
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: I don't like football as much as him. You don't

126
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: like football as much as him, Like, this guy's addicted.

127
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: And I think when you look at the Raiders, you're

128
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: getting a guy who just his passion. This isn't like

129
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: I want to be a head coach because it's cool,

130
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, I want to be a head coach and

131
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: do everything like Bill Belichick did, like Josh McDaniels. You know,

132
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: I think what the Raiders went through this last twelve

133
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: months is Mark Davis made the right decision on firing

134
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: Josh mc daniels. It was a joke. But then they

135
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: hired Antonio Pierce because Davante Adams and Max Crosby and

136
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, you know, demanded it. Essentially. Then DeVante Adams

137
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: turned on Antonio Pierce said get me out of here.

138
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs didn't even resign, and you can tell early on, like, yeah,

139
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: Max Crosby's not that into this dude anymore either. And

140
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: it just was an epic disaster, Like it was an embarrassment.

141
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: And I think the Patriots had a similar situation. Is

142
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: you know what Jrod Meils like, we just can't go

143
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: on like this. And I've seen it countless times. We

144
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: saw it with Urban Meyer, we saw it with Jim

145
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: Tom Sulla. Sometimes you see it and you're like, this

146
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: this has to end. It's not even about wins and losses,

147
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: and you're not winning any games like this is this

148
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: is we might just fold as a franchise if we

149
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: continue with this. So you get a guy that, like, listen,

150
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: I have no clue how many games this team's gonna win.

151
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: I would venture to say that they're not gonna be

152
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: any good, but like, this guy gives you a fighting chance.

153
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean the last couple of years in Seattle, once

154
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: they traded Russell Wilson like they were sniffing the playoffs.

155
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: They were a seven seed two years ago when they

156
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs. I think they went nine to eight

157
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: and they were right there till the bitter end. I

158
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: think they lost a game the end of the year

159
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: to Arizona. I don't even know if that game counted.

160
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: Actually they might have lost it with two weeks to go.

161
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: But regardless, is you get a guy that's just high energy,

162
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: high effort, And I think when you look at Tom Brady,

163
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: who has a you know, hand in this is they're

164
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: just they're just trying to make progress. You know. Some

165
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: teams it's like, how do we jump take the next step?

166
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: Like that's what like Buffalo, the conversations have been having,

167
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: like that's Baltimore's conversation. Hell, that's Denver and the Chargers conversation.

168
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, Okay, we've made legitimate progress. How do

169
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: we go from point B to point F? You know,

170
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: how do we get competitive where we're like in the

171
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: final four of the AFC, where we're in the conference

172
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: championship game? What do we need to do to have

173
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: a chance to win the Super Bowl in the next

174
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: couple of years. The Raiders are just having conversations like

175
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: how do we get around like eight wins? How do

176
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: we get where we can just be discussed as a

177
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: wild card team around Thanksgiving? And the bar is so

178
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: low for something I would put Jacksonville there, I'd put

179
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: the Jets there, I'd put the Saints there. The bar

180
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: is really really low. So progress is viewed completely different

181
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: than a lot of these other places, and you just

182
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: get a guy that knows what they're doing. You know,

183
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: That's the thing with some of these young coaches is

184
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: they have no clue what they're doing when it comes

185
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: to being the head coach. How could they It's impossible now,

186
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: in fairness, most of us, when we start a job

187
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: or start anything, you don't know what you're doing and

188
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: you kind of figure it out as you go. It's

189
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: part of life, right. There was once a point in

190
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: time when Pete Carroll didn't know how to be a

191
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: head coach. But in twenty twenty five, the guy's been

192
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: a head coach basically for thirty plus years. He's seventy three.

193
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: He's been a coach since, a head coach since his

194
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: mid forties. That's always been head man, starting ninety four.

195
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: Head man. That's what he knows how to do. He

196
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: knows how to handle. I say this, I use this example.

197
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: But like when a guy gets a DUI, when a

198
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: guys has a death in the family, when a guy

199
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: has a devastating breakup or divorce, you name it. That

200
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: there is not when a guy fails a drug test,

201
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: when a dude gets into a fight in the meeting room,

202
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: when something happens with his assistant two assistant coaches. There

203
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: is nothing that can happen in an NFL building that

204
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll has not seen. And listen, I'm not taking

205
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: shots because I totally understand hiring these two guys as well,

206
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: but like Liam Cohen and Ben Johnson, there's no way,

207
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: there is absolutely no way that they have seen remotely

208
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: anything close to what Pete Carroll has seen. So he

209
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: can just handle that situation and not be overwhelmed. Right,

210
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: So I think about, like, I'm not a parent yet,

211
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: but a lot of my friends are. My brother is

212
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: when I am a parent, there are situations you freak

213
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: out on right away and then you realize six months later,

214
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: a year later, two days later, wasn't that big a deal.

215
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: And that just what happens to new head coach, just

216
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: like oh my god, what do I do? And then

217
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: you look back it's like, OU's not that big a deal.

218
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: We'll handle it. And I think that's what the Raiders

219
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: were looking for to get out of this business of

220
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: a Josh McDaniels that fooled everybody, ran a scam, Like

221
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: I could be a head coach. No, you can't, Like

222
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: you are as toxic of a candidate as there's ever

223
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: been to be a head coach that's proven. Get a

224
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: guy like Antonio Pierce. The players love him, well, actually

225
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: they didn't, like they pretend to do. They thought they did,

226
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: and then they realized they did not. So let's just

227
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: get a guy that it's not about all this other bullshit.

228
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: He can just get us going three or contract. It's

229
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: not like he's in to be your coach for the

230
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: next ten years. I do think he's uniquely suited for

231
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: an older guy when it comes to energy, when it

232
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: comes to just his efforts. I don't think this is

233
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: a male in job. So listen, if I'm a Raider fan,

234
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: I would be at least just positively. At least this

235
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: is a positive moment. At least for the last this week,

236
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: it's just been positive. Right. We hired John Spytek, a

237
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: guy that has been a right hand man to Jason

238
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: light who's buddies with Tom Brady not just because he

239
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: played with him, but because he worked with him in

240
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay when they were good, and obviously he's been

241
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: a million others. He's worked for Andy Reid. Like, the

242
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: guy's just seen a lot of shit and then we

243
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: hired Pete Carroll. It's like, okay, we just just move forward.

244
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: That is progress. When it comes to the Raiders on

245
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: the Liam Cohen thing, I'm not gonna break down. Obviously,

246
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: it's well reported Twitter videos. You can figure out all

247
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: the details of everything that's being said. I think, just

248
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: on its most basic level, here's what I will react to.

249
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: They want to keep him, obviously, so I think in

250
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: a perfect world it's probably more complicated than just doing this.

251
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: They would have just fired Todd Bowles and kept Liam

252
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: Cohen as their head coach. I think they kind of

253
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: wanted to do that, not this year, but just maybe

254
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: next year or the previous or the upcoming year. So

255
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: within the next couple of years, Liam Cohen would be

256
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Here's the problem.

257
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: They're not ready to fire Todd Bulls clearly, so they

258
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: offer him, Hey, you're gonna be the highest paid coordinator

259
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That sounds awesome. Four and a half

260
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, three year contract, So we're talking

261
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half million dollars, great shitload of money

262
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: to ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of Americans,

263
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to a yearly salary that's a

264
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: lot of coin. Then things change in Jacksonville, and it

265
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: was contingent on him not interviewing in jacksonvillell they fire

266
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: Trent Bulky. So now I don't have to work for

267
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: Trent Bulky and I can stay in the state of

268
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: Florida no state income tax. But you know a heavenly place.

269
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: If you make a lot of money, why could you

270
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: keep a lot of it. So it's like, well, Jacksonville

271
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: now is offering me a contract is well reported similar

272
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: to Ben Johnson money, Well, Ben Johnson's not getting normal

273
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: first time head coaching cash. Reports are he's making between

274
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: twelve to thirteen million dollars. So put yourself in a situation.

275
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: It's like I could stay at this job and listen,

276
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: I'm not and doning if he doesn't call them, if

277
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: he's being shady about it. There's no handbook to handle situations.

278
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: But I would say coaches, once you get to a

279
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: certain age, like it's black and white, just have some balls,

280
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: say hey, I'm actually doing this. I'm gonna reinterview if

281
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: because he wanted to have a contingency plan, if he

282
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: didn't get hired. He could still fall back to the

283
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: four and a half million dollars because they told him

284
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: you can't interview for four and a half million dollars.

285
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: Now does that hold up in court? Now? The reality

286
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: is Liam Cohen gonna sue them, Like obviously not. But

287
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, fuck you. The the the situation changed

288
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: and now I'm interested and you're offering thirteen million dollars. Well,

289
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: they're offering fifty to sixty million dollars and I no

290
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: longer have to answer to anybody. I'm the boss. So like,

291
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: things dramatically change, and is there a right and wrong

292
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: way to handle things? Yeah, and listen, there's usually his side,

293
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: his side, and then the truth. But I can understand

294
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay who's paying him foreign a half million dollars

295
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: the glaziers like we've went above and beyond give them

296
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: four and a half million dollars. Who gives a fuck?

297
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: These are all line items twenty twenty five. You're making

298
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty million dollars from the league. So if,

299
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: like the owners are mad, then it was a little shady. Like, yeah,

300
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: business is shady. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions.

301
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: And the only person who truly cares about you is you,

302
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: Because if you hadn't been really good as an offensive coordinator,

303
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: they would have fired your ass without hesitation. Obviously, once

304
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: you prove you're good, you get more options. The glaziers

305
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: love making cash. Why can't Liam Cohen go seek out

306
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: a contract that's gonna pay him fifty sixty million dollars?

307
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: Is there? Should he have called and texted and kept

308
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: everyone abreast with everything that was going on. Maybe, But like,

309
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: if you have the opportunity to make fifty or sixty

310
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed, you're gonna probably do that over making

311
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: thirteen million dollars guaranteed. So I just think when you

312
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: look at it from a business standpoint, Now, if you

313
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: start lying about like his wife is on Twitter saying

314
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: they were with his kid in the hospital, like I

315
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm not gonna get into like you're making excuses,

316
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: like you're an eighteen year old trying to get out

317
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: of you know, turned in your homework here. But when

318
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: it comes to money, every single human involved, the owners,

319
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: the GM, the coach would take fifty or sixty million

320
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: dollars over thirteen million dollars if it's legal, you know,

321
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: not selling drugs or something. But if it's legal, and

322
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: this is legal, and they're making him the head coach,

323
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: so I really don't see, regardless the road that it

324
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: took to get here, how it's that crazy. It's like, yeah,

325
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: you're four and a half million dollars, you want a

326
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: fucking cookie, sweet, great offer, awesome, I appreciate it. But

327
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: now I have a chance to be a head coach.

328
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna pay me eleven so you're paying me four

329
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: and a half. They're almost tripling it, and I no

330
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: longer have to answer to Todd Bowles or the GM.

331
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm now the boss now. Whether that's going to work

332
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: or not, I got no clue. And I know a

333
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: lot of people on the internet have said he's done

334
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: similar things in different spots. Maybe he has. I'm not

335
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: standing up here for the character of the man. I

336
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: don't know the guy. I don't care one way or

337
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: the other. But like everyone acting like this is the

338
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: craziest move ever is being disingenuous because most human beings

339
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: would accept triple the money to be the head coach

340
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: for a longer contract. I think I think Tampa wants

341
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: to get all this credit for offering him a huge

342
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: number as an offensive coordinator. Well, that's awesome if he

343
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have other options to be a head coach, especially

344
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: in the state right that, Like, what's your big benefit

345
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: being in Tampa. It's like, hey, four and a half

346
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: million dollars and we're no state income tax, so you're

347
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: gonna take a lot more than if you were the

348
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: OC at a lot of these other teams around the country. Okay, well,

349
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm staying in the state of Florida and set CON's

350
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: given me a four year guaranteed contract at twelve million

351
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: dollars a year. You do the math. It's a big difference.

352
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: That's that's a lot of money. Now, big picture, I'm

353
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: not acting like sometimes you got to be a man,

354
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: and anyone that had anyone when you grow up worth

355
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: their salt, teaches you listen. Some discussions are harder than others.

356
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: And when you're breaking up with someone, when you're quitting

357
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: on someone, if you are gonna do it and listen,

358
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: never quit. Those are easy things to say when you're ten, twelve, thirteen.

359
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: Those are good lessons to teach. But there are times

360
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: in life where it's like you're gonna make a tough decision,

361
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: and you're gonna piss some people off. If you don't

362
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: piss some people off along the way, you know, you're

363
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: probably not making a lot of progress, especially in big

364
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: money situation. It's part of life, and you gotta have

365
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: the balls to be like, Hey, I'm reinterviewing, So if

366
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna take the money off the table, fucking sell

367
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: be it. But I'm doing this. And if you want

368
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: to ding them for anything, you didn't have the stones

369
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: to do that, like text Jason Light like hey, and

370
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles, I'm going to Jacksonville. So if you want

371
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: to pay me one and a half million dollars or

372
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: whatever I was actually making. If I don't get this job,

373
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: so be it. But I'm taking this interview now that

374
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: they fired Trent Balky because things dramatically changed. I think

375
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: you guys can understand that you both have been in

376
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: the league forever. You've seen it all. Now, he didn't

377
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: do that, So if you want to ding him on that, okay,

378
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: But anyone dging him for taking the job I think

379
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: is absolutely insanity. NFL playoffs, we're talking about the NFL playoffs.

409
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: of questions. John New to the pod, What are your

410
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: plans this NFL offseason? You have been a content machine,

411
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: but after only discovering your stuff during the year, I'm

412
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: wondering what the off season is gonna look like. I

413
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: just don't think it's gonna look any different. We just

414
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: my mindset is. And really, I've done this now. I mean,

415
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: I've been doing this pod for five six years, but

416
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: I've been approaching it with the relentless vigor of daily

417
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: shows now for I don't know, a couple of years plus.

418
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: We just approach it like normal. I mean, I approach

419
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: it like a daily radio show, which you know, what

420
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: would have been in nineteen ninety six or two thousand

421
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: and seven. We just do. It was just a podcast

422
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: form obviously on video and audio, but we just go

423
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: every day. This is this is my life, this is

424
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: my job. This is how I feed my unborn children.

425
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: So I nothing changes. Luckily. You know it's a year

426
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: round sport. If you're new, I you know I'm a

427
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: golf junkie, so we do. I have a go Lope

428
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: podcast which comes on the feed once Super Bowl ends

429
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 1: and golf season gets going, gambling and just different stuff.

430
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,479
Speaker 1: But that's more. That's my passion project. But this is

431
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, football pays the Bills a right here, So yeah, no,

432
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: no stopping question for the pod. As a Pats fan,

433
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: who would you pick at four? Abdual Carter Will Campbell?

434
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: The Patriots offensive line is bottom of the barrel. David

435
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: Andrews isn't getting any younger, but we have so many needs.

436
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: I would say that a dual Carter. I think there's

437
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: a fifty to fifty chance that he goes number one. Overall,

438
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: I think that if the Titans can't trade that pick

439
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: and they are not enamored with either quarterback, especially now

440
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: that they got a new GM. You know, I think

441
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: adding Borgazi and Chad Brinker, who is I don't even

442
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: know what his really official title is, but he's like

443
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: the guy kind of above the GM. But I'm pretty

444
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: sure you know, Chad Brinker was in Green Bay from

445
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: nine to twenty two, So those guys have seen Patrick

446
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. I just think if they if

447
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: they don't believe that either one of those quarterbacks is

448
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a top five quarterback, I think they'll they're

449
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: passing on a quarterback, and that should be the right move.

450
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: Like I would not force a quarterback when you first

451
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: take over. No chance I would try to sign like

452
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold or something. But I think there's a decent

453
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: chance that they don't draft a quarterback. Obviously, they would

454
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: love to trade back a couple spots and still get

455
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: Abdua Carter, But I don't think he's gonna be there

456
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: for yet four. I'd be very stunned if he was.

457
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: If he looks like the guy that we saw coming

458
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch and me, he looks like Micah Parsons. Well,

459
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: if you compare him to Micah Parsons, guys like that

460
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: typically go pick one or two in the draft, not

461
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: pick eleven. Now, Michaeh was in a weird draft. He

462
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: had sat out the season after the COVID year or whatever.

463
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: But I think looking back, guys like him typically don't

464
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: make it till four. This draft isn't very good either,

465
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: And when I say that, I mean like it's not

466
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: loaded with a bunch of abdull carters like I think

467
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter are reviewed easily as the

468
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: best players in this draft. Now, you asked about Will Campbell.

469
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: When I watch LSU, I didn't view Will Campbell with

470
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: some elite prospect. Obviously, he's a first round talent, but

471
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: there's a big difference of going pick like twenty and

472
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: pick four. If you're gonna take a tackle at pick four,

473
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: Gleane Johnson went pick four, it's gotta be pretty good.

474
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: I got my degree in advertising in PR and have

475
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: been pigeonholed into working at marketing firms my entire career.

476
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: Now I'm hoping to break into the sports world. Over

477
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: the last year, I've reached out to professionals in the

478
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: industry Detroit sports teams. Ideally, I like to work for

479
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: the Lions only one person replied and actually made the

480
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: time to connect with me, which I really appreciate. But

481
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm discouraged by the lack of progress. I feel stuck

482
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: on how to get out of the agency setting and

483
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: into sports. I'm in my early thirties and don't really

484
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: want to go back to school and oh, this is

485
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: this Natalie and my husband owns a bar, and I'm

486
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: tied to the area. We can't move elsewhere. Is there

487
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: anything else I should be doing to try to get

488
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: a gig with the Lions? You know, it is hard,

489
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: especially it's one thing when you have a wide scope

490
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: and you can just attack every team and connect with

491
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: people on LinkedIn, and you know if you get if

492
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: you DM and message seventy five people and only five

493
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: get back to you, if two of them are real,

494
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: that's all you need. Right Any sales guy will tell

495
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: you that, I think you got to get if the lie,

496
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: it has to be the Lions, and that's what you

497
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: want to do. You got to get really aggressive. Yeah,

498
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: it's hard, Like you can't just show up at the

499
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: practice facility because I don't know the Lions specifically, but

500
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: like you know, the Eagles, the Raiders, the Niners, ones

501
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: that I've been around, even the Titans when I was there, Like,

502
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: you need, you need access to get even close to anybody,

503
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: So I would just be kind of relentless. And I

504
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: think some time when you're relentless that can stand out

505
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: even if they don't know anything about you. You're also young,

506
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, early thirties. It's not if you google a

507
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: lot of people that are presidents or head marketing people

508
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: for teams. They don't always start in sports. You just

509
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: gotta be I mean, I don't have a like a

510
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: playbook for you, but you just got to do everything

511
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: humanly possible within your means to try to get in

512
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: front of these people. Just graduated college and start a

513
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: pretty serious federal job in DC and it'll be the

514
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: first quote unquote real job I had. Any advice to

515
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: climb in the ladder without becoming overly obsessive without my

516
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: professional life. Thanks again, this guy's on the comeup. You know,

517
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: it's hard. When I was young in my career, I

518
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: annoyed a lot of people. I do think there's a

519
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: balance of being super annoying and super aggressive. You know,

520
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: even in twenty twenty five, I think you know you're

521
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: going I'm sure working in an office job and being

522
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: around people that are very powerful, I would just try

523
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: to be there before them and leave after them. And

524
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: sometimes you're just killing time. But early on in your life,

525
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: you don't have much going on. You're not married, you

526
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: don't have kids, you just don't have anything going on.

527
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you do, but I think most people fresh out

528
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: of college, you can put a disproportionate amount of time

529
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: if you're all in on moving up in an ambitious

530
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: person on doing that. So, I mean, I think one

531
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: thing that really helped me when I left cal Pauly

532
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: to go to Fresno State, Like I spent so many

533
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: hours just with everybody in the building, like I worked,

534
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,479
Speaker 1: I mean, and it didn't matter because I didn't want

535
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: I didn't have any money too, I didn't have anything

536
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 1: else to do. And it just dedicated myself to like

537
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: what do I have to do to move up in

538
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: this business? And so to me, time is a powerful

539
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: thing when you're young, because you can dedicate a lot

540
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: of it to doing your job. And I would just

541
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: go above and beyond every task. That's the other thing,

542
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: like you're not gonna be I don't. You didn't tell

543
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: me what you're doing specifically, but whether you're working for

544
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: a football coach or whether you're working for a senator,

545
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: that they're not gonna ask you things. They're gonna change

546
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: the world. Right Like the football Pat Hill didn't look

547
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: at me like give me your top five players, we'll

548
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: sign them all, but like, hey, we need breakfast right now.

549
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: Hey we need you know my car we're bringing in

550
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: this recruit or I'm just giving you examples this defensive

551
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: coordinator and interview. Can you take my car, get a

552
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: hummer and go pick them up at the airport? Hell yeah, coach,

553
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: do it? You just you say yes to everything, even

554
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: things that sound pretty stupid when you're young. The best

555
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: part is you can do stupid things and they feel

556
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: cool looking back. I can't believe I did that. And

557
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying picking people at the airport, but just

558
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: other minute tasks. As a Niner fan, much like other

559
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: Niner fans, I'm excited about the news of Sala potentially

560
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: coming back now that Cohen is headed to the Jags,

561
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: but I can't help to think that if Sla thrives

562
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: in SF next season, he would end up getting interviewed

563
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: for another head coaching spot. And will put the forty

564
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: nine Ers back in search of another DC. So my

565
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: question is, do you think the Kyle and John Lynch

566
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: will have a plan in place to promote someone from

567
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: within if Sala were to leave next season? I think

568
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: you're getting ahead of yourself. I think they just need

569
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: a little like the Raiders, like we just need to

570
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: get settled in. If Sala is getting interviewed, like I

571
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: guess he'll get an interview In what world is Robert

572
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: sla viewed as some hot candidate? I just yeah, he's

573
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: a good defensive coordinator. He was completely over his head

574
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: as a head coach. Can we just be real about that?

575
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: Nice guy, good guy, like probably a number two, you know.

576
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: Even if he's good at like we saw Cliff Kingsbury's

577
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: good at offense, in what world he's an n fell

578
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: head coach. I have a hard time seeing Robert Sawi

579
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: get a head coaching job next year unless the forty

580
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: nine Ers are the greatest defense since like the two

581
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: thousand Ravens, people are gonna hire Robert Saliby their head coach.

582
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Why no discussion on TB twelve

583
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: and his conflict of interest between Fox and the Raiders.

584
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: Why not Belichick to coach Baltimore. It's close to his

585
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: hometown and he could amp up the defense. Thanks for

586
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: a shoutout, Golden Save. I'm working proposal inspired. I just

587
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: really don't care. Like I mean, I'm just not as

588
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: obsessed with it as like Mike Florio. It is what

589
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: it is. It just it doesn't bother me. Conflict of

590
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: interest like you have the If the owners don't want it,

591
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: they'll cut them off. If they don't really care, they

592
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: won't really care. I just at this point in time,

593
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean, my I doesn't like I don't spend one

594
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: second thinking about it. The only time I think about

595
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: Tom brady situation is like when he's on my television.

596
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's that good. He's just kind

597
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: of annoying. I don't know what else say. Belichick signed

598
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: his contract with the with North Carolina I think yesterday.

599
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: But a huge fan of the pod mailback dot. Do

600
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: you think the Falcons, looking back on it, wished they

601
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: would have just hired Belichick? The question is would they

602
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: still ended up with Panix if they did hire Belichick.

603
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: I would guess they are happy to have a young

604
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: quarterback that looks special. So they probably are okay with

605
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: Raheem for now. I don't know. Yeah, they're in a

606
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: rough spot. I just think that, Yeah, they're in a

607
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: weird spot. I think Rahim if they go under five

608
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: hundred next year, like he could be like two and done.

609
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: He got a lot of hype. They wanted him because

610
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: Rich McKay and their GM get to keep the job.

611
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: But they better make the playoffs next year. And making

612
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs and that division basically means win the division.

613
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: They better win the division next year because if they don't,

614
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: I think he would be major trouble. Do they regret

615
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: hiring Bill Belichick? Well, the GM doesn't. Rich McKay doesn't

616
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: because they would have got asked out. What I think

617
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: they regret is signing Kirk Cousins. I think the Bills

618
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: lose this weekend, and if they do, is it possible

619
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: for McVeigh to attempt to pivot to Josh Allen, a

620
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: player who has given all he can to frankly a

621
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: perennial weaker slash top team roster and probably needs an

622
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: offensive coach. You mean, like he tries to get the

623
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: Bills job or tries to trade for Josh Allen. I'm

624
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: not quite sure what you're asking, but McVeigh is under

625
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: contract with the Rams. He's going nowhere. Josh Allen. The

626
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: ownership with the Bills would sell the team before they

627
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: ever traded Josh Allen to the Rams. And if they

628
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: were like, let's just say recording this, I don't know,

629
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: thirty hours before the game. I would say. The only

630
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: thing that would be in doubt would if they got

631
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: blown out. Would McDermott get fired if he did. Sean

632
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: mcvay's just not an option. Sean mcvay's not leaving LA

633
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: to move to Buffalo, even to coach Josh Allen. Zero chance.

634
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: Question for the mailbag two parts. As a Patriots fan,

635
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: now that we have our coaching coordinators, what do you

636
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: think the Patriots need to do in the off season

637
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs next year? Is it possible for them?

638
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: Second question? I started folding seven months ago. I started folding.

639
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: Any tips on how to start stop slicing, oh golfing

640
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: my driver? YouTube? Just type it into YouTube. You know

641
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm not but charming here, So I would just type

642
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: whatever your issue is into YouTube and then go to

643
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: the range and try to fix it. Because unless I

644
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: saw you, and even if I saw you, I'm not

645
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: a golf teacher. I actually have no clue on any

646
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: of that stuff. So YouTube is a great, great helping hand.

647
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: I think you guys need a lot of talent. I

648
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: mean you got your offensive line is a joke. Your

649
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: receiving course not very good, your offensive skill guys, and

650
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: explosive on offense is not very good. I think defensive defensively,

651
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna be solid. I think signed some offensive lineman,

652
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: draft some skill guys, and you'll be fine. You know,

653
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: I Vrabel's really good, and you have a good off season,

654
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: why can't if Drake may solid next year, I think

655
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: you can compete to win seven eight games. A lot

656
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: of people are hitting me up because I said the

657
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: wedding registry. This guy said, I got second marriage at

658
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: fifty three win went with no gifts. Please, your presence

659
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: is our present. Yeah, it was out of my hands,

660
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: but I hear you. I'm right at the CUSP now.

661
00:34:46,120 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: Granted she's thirty two, so I'm sorry, John, I'm faded.

662
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: But why is bnemy forced out of the league, Like

663
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: no one mentions him nothing. He has a guy behind

664
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes lighting up the league and he never got a shot.

665
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: Like I heard, he's a hard ass, but like dudes,

666
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: one of the more successful offensive coordinators ever, Andy Reid

667
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: called plays in Kansas City, So I think that's part

668
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: of it. Like Eric Benemy, you know, Naggy and Viennemy

669
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: now and then and Naggy now, like they get to

670
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: call plays Doug Peterson two a little intermediently intermittently. But

671
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: the offense is Andy Reid's baby, like that's his. So

672
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: it's not like Eric Benemy ran Patrick Mahomes in the offense. Again,

673
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: all my guys in Kansas City, and I know a

674
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: lot of them, they like him a lot. I just

675
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't have a great answer for you.

676
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: I don't know specifically what happened in Ucla, but like

677
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: he just got fired in Ucla from a guy that

678
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: he coached twenty years ago in college, Like that's a

679
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: little weird. And last year in Washington, like he just

680
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: tried to copy Andy Reid of just passing all the

681
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: time when they had an awful offensive line and it

682
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: was a disaster. So, I I mean, everyone Kyle Shanahan

683
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: had a bad year. So I don't know. I can't

684
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: tell you. Maybe he ends up getting a coaching job,

685
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: like as an assistant coach here soon. Question for the

686
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: bag the golf Bag been watching it for a long time,

687
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: trying to think of a question that no one really asks.

688
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: I used to golf competitively in high school and shortly

689
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: in college, but that was nearly twenty years ago. Life

690
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: got in the way. I stopped golfing for about ten

691
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: to twelve years now. So much has changed since I played,

692
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. My question is what is the strongest part

693
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: of your current game? And have you ever gotten custom

694
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: fit clubs, irons or driver. Most of this tech didn't

695
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: exist when I played, and I'm interested if you have

696
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: done it and if it makes a difference in your game.

697
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: I would say that my current game I haven't played

698
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: in probably almost two months now. I got probably like

699
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: five six years ago. This dude from Taylor Made followed

700
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: me on Twitter and so I DMed him asking if

701
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: he could hook me up. Well, we were just dming

702
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: back about football, and he gave me a code, so

703
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: I got fifty percent off irons. They weren't custom fitted,

704
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: but then I took them into like a club champion

705
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,959
Speaker 1: and they bent them for me. I think I bought

706
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: my woods at like the PJ Superstore. Honestly, part of

707
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: the reason I do golf content is just try to

708
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: get free shit. So hopefully that plays out. But my

709
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: current game, who knows I was thinking about. I'm recording

710
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: this on Friday morning. Mica hip balls this afternoon. But

711
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: you know I'm a decent striker of the ball pretty long, yeah, man,

712
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: I just I've really gotten into just playing. I just

713
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: enjoy myself now. I'm a decent player. Like you know,

714
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: I can shoot high seventies, low eighties, but I just

715
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: don't take it as seriously as I used to. I

716
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: just want to do it. Get out of the house,

717
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: get some fresh air. Question for the mail back. I

718
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: don't know if you've answered something like this before, but

719
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what games come to mind when thinking about

720
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 1: the greatest games ever played. In your opinion, several factors

721
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,959
Speaker 1: have come into play here, namely the stakes in hand,

722
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: the players involved, and most importantly, the overall quality of

723
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: play on both sides. My personal pick is Super Bowl

724
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: forty nine, Patson's Seahawks, biggest stage imaginable. Both teams were

725
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: proven winners, coaches and players were making constant adjustments all

726
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: game long. Both sides made incredible plays, and of course

727
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: the interception really cemented the game. As an Ald timer,

728
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: I would put that really, really high. The game the

729
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Arizona Super Bowl, Kurt Warner, Roethlisberger, Tomlins Super Bowl

730
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: where almost said heinz Ward, but it was his name,

731
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: not Plaxkill Burris. He went to Ohio State. I don't

732
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: know why my brain's not working this morning, but the

733
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: touchdown in the corner of the back corner of the

734
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: end zone that game stands out. I mean, there have

735
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: been some pretty epic championship games. I would say that

736
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: Bills the Bills Chiefs thirteen second game feels like it'd

737
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 1: be pretty up there. Now if your memory serves me correct,

738
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: there wasn't that much defense there. Off the top of

739
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: my head, it's hard. I just think. I mean, we

740
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: could list a ton of different games anyone's in recent memory.

741
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: The Patriot Chiefs game. When Patrick mahomes first year is starting,

742
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: I want to hear your perspective about the top prospect

743
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: tight ends in this year's draft. I'm a Broncos fan

744
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: born and raised, and I would love the idea of

745
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: Warren coming to Denver but fear he may not be

746
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: available at the time that we draft. Do you value

747
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: Loveland as a Day one draft pick and do you

748
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: think he would fit into Sean Payton's scheme. Honestly, I

749
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: haven't really watched him, just because Michigan was so bad

750
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: this year. They were just tough and offensively, what the

751
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: hell you're getting out of it? So I'd have to

752
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: go back and kind of watch them. I don't have

753
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: a great feel for Loveland as a prospect. I have

754
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: to texting my buddies that go through that school. I'd

755
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 1: have to watch them on my own. I don't think

756
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren. I think Tyler Warren ends up being picked

757
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: somewhere between ten to fifteen, you know, kind of in

758
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: the Brock Bowers range. Now he's a different player than Bowers,

759
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: but I you know, in a draft that's not that great,

760
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: there's not a ton of quarterbacks. I think he I

761
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: think he goes high as like the forty nine ers

762
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: at eleven. Who knows, maybe he could go like pick

763
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: ten to eleven. So I hate to say I just

764
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: don't really have a take on love. One huge Packer

765
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: fan wanted to ask you a mail back question. What

766
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: do you think the Packers need to do this offseason

767
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: to finally make and win a Super Bowl. I'm seeing

768
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: a lot of rumors that we might get DeVante or

769
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: t Higgins. Also, I heard we may trade for Max Crosby.

770
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: Do you think that would be possible? Yeah? I mean

771
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: I defense wasn't your issue. It really wasn't like your

772
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: defense played winning football against the Eagles. Honestly, your defense

773
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: was much improved. It's really the quarterback. Now. I know

774
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: you got some question marks at the wide receiver. Those

775
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: guys didn't really break out, and you battle some injuries. Now,

776
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: Christian Watson's ACL is injured, you got second whatever concussion

777
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: for Dobbs, you had Jayden Reid hurt his shoulder. But offensively,

778
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: I think you guys have enough pieces. I would just

779
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: keep dominating the line of scrimmage. Would I trade for

780
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: Max Crosby? I would highly think about it. And if

781
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: it was would I trade for Max Crosby if I

782
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: thought that the Detroit Lions were going to get him?

783
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: That might be the difference in me upping my trade value.

784
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: Now my trading two first round picks for Max Crosby

785
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: that it's a pretty risky move, but again I would

786
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 1: think long and hard about it. My name's Anthony. I'm

787
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: a Charger fan from North Carolina. Still sad after the

788
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: disappointing playoff performance, but I can't help but be a

789
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: static about the future Greg Romans offensive scheme, one reliable

790
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: pass catcher in a shaky run game. Can't help but

791
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: think Herbert will win the MVP by playing in Super Bowls.

792
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: Several more pieces on offense? What do you think just

793
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: need to improve? Man, they gotta get some pieces that

794
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: they need, a game changing offense weapon for him to

795
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: throw to with mccaukey, whether that's a tight end or

796
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. And then draft or running back. Draft

797
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: a running back plug and play guy, and luckily this

798
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: draft is full of plug and play running backs. So

799
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: I think before we get ahead of Super Bowls like

800
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: this is a big off season for the Chargers. This

801
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: is a really big off season for the Chargers. Vikings

802
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: fan hoping you can answer the question for the podcast,

803
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on the Vikings GM adof FUMENSA,

804
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: what grade would you give him on the drafts? His

805
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: first round picks are terrible. Has he improved, but his

806
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: free agency has been pretty good. Now, I would say

807
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: the best player in your team. He doesn't get credit

808
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: for j just Jefferson was there when he inherited it,

809
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: but you know, he was a part of hiring Kevin O'Connell,

810
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: and like, I think it's been successful. You're gonna miss

811
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: on some draft picks, but you know, well, you know,

812
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: if he hits on JJ McCarthy, who cares about the

813
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: other first round picks? And you draft to Dallas Turner.

814
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: So like this year's draft should be pretty big, meaning

815
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: those two guys, the two rookies. Now, I think the

816
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: decision that's going to define his GM career is what

817
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 1: he does this offseason and with how bad Sam Donald

818
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: was the last couple of games, you know, does he

819
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: resign him, does he let him walk? Do they go

820
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: to JJ? Like that's going to define him, not does

821
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: he hit or miss a draft pick. A lot of

822
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: people miss draft picks. Howie Roseman took Jalen Rager over

823
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. It happens. I don't get caught up on

824
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: an individual draft pick because you're not paid to pick

825
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: players in the draft. You're paid to run a team.

826
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: In two of his three years, they've won thirteen and

827
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: fourteen games. So it's like he's he's clearly good and smart.

828
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: My question is this, It baffles me every NFL team

829
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: doesn't look at Green Bay and try to copy their

830
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: quarterback progression plan. Rogers staff for years behind far Love

831
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: sat behind Rogers. How far Love goes yet is yet

832
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: to be seen. But all these quarterback issues don't find

833
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: their guy in the draft and sit him no matter

834
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: what for a few years. I think it's easier said

835
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: than done. You know, it's easy to sit a guy

836
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 1: when you have Brett Farth or Aaron Rodgers. It's harder

837
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: to sit a guy when Lamar Jackson's a bad example

838
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: because Lamar turned out to be a star. But like

839
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, it's like, yeah, well ben Shoe Flacco, I'm

840
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 1: putt Lamar Jackson. So usually Alex Smith, you know, Mahome's

841
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: got to sat for a year. Alex Smith is having

842
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: the best year of his career and the Chiefs were

843
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: winning the division. Usually when you're sitting a guy. The

844
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: other thing is those two. Here's the unique part about

845
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,959
Speaker 1: both those guys. Aaron Rodgers was picked twenty four. Jordan

846
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: Love was picked twenty seven, twenty nine, So it's like

847
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 1: usually the guys that sit, like you get to Jimmy

848
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: Garoppolo picked in the second round. You know a lot

849
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: of times like why didn't you sit play? Rex White

850
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: drafted him third. Overall, my owner wanted to see him play.

851
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: So did the fans, and inference to the fans, it's like,

852
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: we suck. No one wants to watch this player. I

853
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: kind of signed with the fans that way. What were

854
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots supposed to do this year? Just keep rolling

855
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 1: out Jacoby Brissett. No, they had to put in Drake

856
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: May A big fan Broncos fans. So I'm in on

857
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: Knicks obviously, but I also love Pennix coming out, and

858
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: I think coaching is the most important thing for you

859
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: rookie young quarterback development, even above the town with o'conna

860
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: locked in with JJ Peyton with Nicks, Ben Johnson with

861
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: Caleb Cliff, with Jayden Vrable with May and the flashes

862
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: Pennick showed in limited action. What chances do you think

863
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: the twenty four quarterback classico six for six. I think

864
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: it's impossible. I just think it's statistically impossible to go

865
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: six for six. I think we are guaranteed, guaranteed one

866
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: of these players. I think if five of the six

867
00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: got their fifth year option picked up, that'd be one

868
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: of the most insane things we've ever seen. I think

869
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: you could almost say I wouldn't put my life savings

870
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: on it. But the best case scenario is four of

871
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: the six guys get their fifth year option picked up,

872
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: meaning they're gonna get second contracts with that team. The

873
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 1: other thing is you can't overreact off one year though,

874
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: like you just never know. Things change really quick. So

875
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: six for six to me feels like a just like

876
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: can't happen? Got drunk to night Penn State Notre Dame

877
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: game after Drew through the terrible pick and cost us

878
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 1: both money. Do you think that now the transfer portal

879
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: and NL college quarterbacks aren't developed the same way, and

880
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: it's such a mystery on why and who can play

881
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: really on Sundays and who is just a liability for

882
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: money line wagers? Well, Drew Allard didn't transfer, you know,

883
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: I think overall, yeah, because you know Tom Brady's been

884
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: hammering this home. Most quarterbacks, young quarterbacks don't get to

885
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: start right away aren't Caleb Williams usually sit for a

886
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 1: year maybe two. You're mad, you're pissed off, you think

887
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: you're better than the guy starting, but you kind of

888
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: learn a lot about yourself. It's the first time you've

889
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: ever struggled in life. Because if you're at a big

890
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: time program, you've been, you know, the toast of the

891
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: town in high school. You are not just the best

892
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: player in your area, you're probably one of the best

893
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: players in you know, your state. You're the best looking

894
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 1: guy on campus, maybe even if you're ugly, because you're

895
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: the star quarterback. And then you get to college and

896
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: it's like, damn, this sucks. Why we see so many

897
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 1: guys transfer. But Drew Aller didn't transfer from Penn State.

898
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: Drew Aller has been there the whole time. Now. He's

899
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,959
Speaker 1: had some different coordinators, but that's that's normal in football.

900
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: He is a twenty year old kid, so but he's

901
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: been there three years. Like, I can't excuse him for

902
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 1: the pick that he threw. That's just a poor decision.

903
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 1: And listen, quarterbacks make poor decisions, everyone has. Okay, last

904
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: question for the mail bag. If you're the New York Giants,

905
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: like I am fan, like, I am sadly, what do

906
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: you think they should do with the number three pick? Uh?

907
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: I do think taking one of these quarterbacks is a

908
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: major risk, major risk. I think there are a lot

909
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: of people in the NFL that think both these quarterbacks

910
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 1: would have been like the fifth, sixth, seventh guys last year.

911
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: So it's it's just you take Shador Sanders they are

912
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: at three, or cam Ward if they struggle as a rookie,

913
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: you're getting fired. Now what are your options? Like, are

914
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: you what are you gonna do? Sign trade for Kirk

915
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: Cousins or signed Kirk Cousins as a free agent. I

916
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: bet Dave Ball wants to do that. Now would I

917
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: get Kirk Cousins and draft Shador Sanders? Maybe that's the move.

918
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: But the Giants offensive line is not great, so so

919
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: like Cousins can move Sam Darnold, I don't know. I

920
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: don't think there are great fixes at quarterback this offseason.

921
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers if he's cut and available. I don't really

922
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: see a path for these quarterback list teams like the

923
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: Raiders the Giants, Like there's no quick fix. I don't

924
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: see a fix that all of a sudden it's like, oh,

925
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: the Giants won nine games. I don't really think that's

926
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: on the table, so I think you just got to

927
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: get ready for another shitty year. Appreciate everyone listening, have

928
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: a great weekend. Audios the volume
