Speaker 1: That would be me and that would be this show.

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone's having a good day, a good week. So far,

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: life's good. You know, it's a struggle without football, but

28
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: that's what happens in the middle and the end of February.

29
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: So we just got to figure out a way to

30
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: get to August, and that's where I come in to

31
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: talk about football. So the plan is today we're going

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: to talk little Russell Wilson's salary cap looks like it's

33
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: said at two hundred and fifty million dollars, give or take.

34
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna institute something we call Draft Daily. It's where

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: I just talk about something from the draft on a

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: daily basis, which it's a fun time of year, so

37
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: it's an easy thing to do. And I'm scouring the

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: Internet on a daily basis seeing things about the draft,

39
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: so I was like, we might as well talk about it.

40
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: We did a podcast yesterday, podcast today. I think tomorrow.

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: So for Wednesday, I'll probably have a little golf podcast

42
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: kind of slows down this weekend. It's like the Mexico Open,

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: but just some overall thoughts so far of this golf season.

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: And then we'll probably have another football podcast on Thursday,

45
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: and then the Combine next week. So we'll just we'll

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: keep swinging our pick here because that's what we do.

47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: We podcast and you guys know the drill three and out.

48
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: If you listen on Collins Feed, subscribe to the feed.

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: We're up on YouTube rocking away about two months. We

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: got about twenty five k so if you watch that way,

51
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, if you like consuming, we got everything up

52
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: on the old YouTube and the volume dot com. The

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: volume dot com. We have merch shirts, sweatshirts, have you covered.

54
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: But first I want to tell you about my friends.

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: And the way you talk to my friends is you

56
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: download a little app and it happens to be the

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: official ticketing app of this podcast. Game time. Go to

58
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: your smartphone, download that app. You want to go get

59
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: out of the house. Isn't that what we all want

60
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: to do? Get some sunshine. I don't know about you.

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: It's seventy degrees where I'm at beautiful day outside. Want

62
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: to start incorporating some vitamin that you want to go

63
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: to an outdoor concert? Do you want to go spring training? Hell,

64
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to spring training in a couple weeks.

65
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: Cannot wait. I love it. In baseball, they show up,

66
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: they take grounders for like two days, and they just

67
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: start playing that. They approach it like I do golf.

68
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Go to the range, couple balls, hit the first team

69
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: and if you want to go Florida or Arizona, either one.

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: A lot of you guys come out here to Scottsdale.

71
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: Highly recommend my friends. At game time, download the app,

72
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: search wherever you're looking and uh promo code John promo

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: code j o HN j o HN, save yourself twenty dollars.

74
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: Cannot recommend it enough. I saw a headline today on

75
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: roto World. Rotal World is a fantasy website that when

76
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: I was in the NFL I used to look at

77
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: to get injury information to put into our system. I

78
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: still use it today. It's a lot like Pro Football

79
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: Talk meets Twitter to just kind of keep tabs on

80
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: what's going on. It's funny whenever I play golf with

81
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: someone random at TBC Scottsdale. They always ask me, like,

82
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: how do you know what to talk about? I'm like,

83
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just fallow the league kind of

84
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: know what's big, know what's important. It's just kind of

85
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: a gut feeling. You just kind of know. You've been

86
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: doing this long enough. I've been listening to sports talk

87
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: either podcast or radio my entire life. You got a

88
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: pretty good, you know, polse of what's happening and what

89
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: needs to be discussed. And while this doesn't necessarily need

90
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: to be discussed in the sense of it's inevitable what's

91
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: gonna happen. When Sean Payton went to Super Bowl Week

92
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: and said, no, we haven't decided anything, Like, let's face it,

93
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: this time of the year, there's a lot of posturing

94
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: going on. In anytime the entire league knows something, you

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: still tell them, Hey, listen, you think the sky is blue,

96
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: it looks it looks red to me. It's like I'm

97
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: looking at the sky right now. It's blue, like it's raining. No,

98
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: it's not raining. It's literally dropping on my feet. And

99
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: an NFL coach or GM would be like clear skies,

100
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: Like what are you talking about? But that is the

101
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: business they're in is never ever showing your cards. I

102
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: was just in Vegas for the Super Bowl and the

103
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: tables I was on, they flip your cards over. You're

104
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: not hiding them from any It's up. It's not Texas.

105
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: Hold them when you're playing a blackjack. Everyone knows what

106
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: everyone has. And when you look at the Russell Wilson situation,

107
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was over before it even began. If

108
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: you would have said over under years, Russell Wilson plays

109
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: for Sean Payton, you would have hammered under two. Now

110
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: it ended quicker than any of us thought. He was

111
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: benched in year one, but let's face it, he was

112
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: never gonna last long. Early on in season one, it

113
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: was like, this is a disaster and there are gonna

114
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: be a lot of moves in the NFL over the

115
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: next month that are gonna be moves that are not

116
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: gonna work out, and some are gonna work out better

117
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: than anyone could have expected to me. The number one

118
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: thing any GM and any front office and any team

119
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: going forward in free agency into the draft is lean aggressive, lean,

120
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: really aggressive, take big swings. The best part about this

121
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: modern day NFL is if it doesn't work out, who

122
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: gives a shit in a couple years, pivot and the

123
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: number one thing you gotta be able to do is

124
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: wave the white flag and pivot. And I would say

125
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: I've been saying this forever. One of Belichick's best qualities.

126
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: It was easy because he had Tom Brady, but he

127
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: never held on to like a second round pick that

128
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: couldn't play very long. Get rid of the guy by

129
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 1: like year three, he would be gone. Where most general

130
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: managers now they don't have the equity of Belichick. But

131
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: let's face it, it's ego. We never want to admit

132
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: when we screw up. It's like, guys, my mother can

133
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: see this guy can't play, and they're like, well, let's

134
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: give him another year. We'll move him to a defensive

135
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: tackle from defensive end. Like, guys, just just move on

136
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: from the player, and the faster you can move on

137
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: from mistakes. And it's never been easier. We talked about

138
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: this yesterday. You have unlimited amount of money, not necessarily

139
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: on your salary cap, but in terms of actual cash, Well,

140
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: you have to pay these guys. You don't need to

141
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: be like, well, we've already given this guy seventy five

142
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: million dollars. Let's see if we can work it out.

143
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: It's not gonna work out. And luckily there are so

144
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: many teams, especially with the quarterback, that are gonna be

145
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: willing to take him on. Now it's not gonna cost

146
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: them that much. You're eating a lot of the salary

147
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: and obviously you're not gonna get much back in draft compensation.

148
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: But the best thing any organization can do is just

149
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: wave the white flag when a player does not fit

150
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: for them, or is over the hill, or is just

151
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: not doesn't fit the scheme or whatever. And Russell Wilson, listen,

152
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the most unique test you know,

153
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: case studies we've ever seen. It wasn't that long ago.

154
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: I thought he was really good, and now I know

155
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: his numbers actually weren't that bad when you watched him

156
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: play this year, he's a shell of what he was.

157
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: And unlike Rogers, who's thirty nine forty years old, even

158
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning at the end thirty nine forty years old,

159
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: this guy's I don't think he's thirty five ers old yet.

160
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: So let's face it. The Broncos when they made that

161
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: trade and Adam Schefter tweeted it out, you know, two

162
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: years ago. Now it was insane and I thought at

163
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: the time, there is no way that this is not

164
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: going to be a solid move for Denver and a

165
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: disaster for Seattle. It was the opposite, it really was.

166
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Seattle went on to win eighteen games in

167
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: two years. The Broncos were awful. They have no quarterback

168
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: situation once they move off Russell. They gave up a

169
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: ton of draft picks, they gave up solid players. But listen,

170
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: sometimes you get up to the plate like you're not

171
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: looking to bunt. And that's what I love about this

172
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: modern day NFL is all these gms. Like the amount

173
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: of secret meetings that are going to go on in

174
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: Indianapolis of people discussing massive, massive trades and potential deals

175
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,239
Speaker 1: is freaking awesome. Like forever, it was probably being discussed,

176
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: but it was rarely executed. Now we see it executed constantly.

177
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: So listen, the Broncos fucked up, but a year later

178
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: they landed Sean Payton, and within you know, less than

179
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: a year of Sean Payton, they're able to probably get

180
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: rid of Russell Wilson. Now it's going to impact their

181
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: salary cap greatly, and this season is going to be

182
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: difficult on the books, but removing him kind of can

183
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: start this process of getting that the shadow negativity is

184
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: the wrong way to put it, because he's not a

185
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: negative guy, but just this albatross of a contract who

186
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: the ROI just isn't there. And that's really talking about

187
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: the salary cap being two hundred and fifty million dollars.

188
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: That's the key. When you sign a guy to fifteen

189
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five million dollars a year, does he equal

190
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: that his ROI in his play, because if he doesn't,

191
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: then you have a problem. If I pay a guy

192
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars and he's an above average starter, I

193
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about it. Right. If I pay a

194
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver twenty million dollars and he gets me eight

195
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns and he's really productive and defensive coordinators have

196
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: to game plan him against him like and take him

197
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: very very seriously in terms of their week of preparation,

198
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: then we're okay. But the moment I give a guy

199
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: huge money and I go, God, would I like to

200
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: have that back? Or God, I thought he'd be a

201
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: little better. The NFL is not a plug and play league, right,

202
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: This is not Baseball, where I signed the top third

203
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: basement on the market. I plug him in at third

204
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: base and I put him third in the order. If

205
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: he's a good player, nothing changes, right, It's chemistry. While

206
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: it matters somewhat in the sport ultimately, like if you

207
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: can hit, you can hit, you can play defense, you

208
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: can play defense in football, the scheme matters. The amount

209
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: of money you give someone matters, like is this is

210
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: their twilight contract? That's why Mike Evans is a pretty

211
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: fascinating guy. He's already made over one hundred and ten

212
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: million dollars and he's won a Super Bowl, So at

213
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: this point in time in his career is and he's

214
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: coming off a very very productive season. Is he a

215
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: guy that's looking to break the bank and get one

216
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: more massive contract or is he a guy looking like

217
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: I really want to win. I'm willing to take a

218
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: little bit less. I've lived in Tampa, I banked a

219
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: lot of cash over my life. I feel very good

220
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: about where I am financially. I obviously don't want to

221
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: work for free, but like I would go play somewhere

222
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: that gives me the opportunity to win for twenty percent less.

223
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: For the big picture of it, coming back my way

224
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: and being known one day as a two time super

225
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: Bowl champion, Or is it like I'm gonna take the

226
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: most money possible and only like listen, these teams don't

227
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: know that right now. They're gonna find this out at

228
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: the combine when they deal with these eight. It's like

229
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: one thing was pretty clear with Russell Wilson. Money always money,

230
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: and like respect and all these variables really mattered to them.

231
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: Remember back in the day he wanted that fully guaranteed

232
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: contract and then when he said, like, you know, I'm

233
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: not asking for a trade, but if I did get

234
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: a trade, these would be the four teams. He was

235
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: always so big on control. You know, it was like, bro,

236
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: let's just dial in on our play. It was always

237
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: like Pete Carroll's fault, Pete Carroll's an idiot. That age

238
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: pretty well, and then you get to the point where

239
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: you just get an older guy. They're going into the

240
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: third contract. I also think you have to be very

241
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: very careful about third contracts with NFL players. Look at

242
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: von Miller, who had a Hall of Fame level career

243
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: before he ever got traded to the Rams. Then he

244
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: gets traded to the Rams, he helps them get over

245
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: the hump, and he wins Super Bowl. Then he breaks

246
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: the bank with Buffalo Tears ACL and he's never been

247
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: the same. And I was reading this article that like,

248
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: they're kind of stuck with this contract. But signing any

249
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: player in the NFL is a risky proposition because of

250
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: the sport. Right at any moment, you can get injured.

251
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: You can have a career altering injury any position, any moment,

252
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: training camp to games to the preseason. It could happen

253
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: training right doing heavy squats. But you can't think like that.

254
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: If you did, no guy would ever be signed. I

255
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: do think history would tell us when you sign third

256
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: contract players to large money, the risk goes up exponentially.

257
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: And I'm pro Mike Evans, but are we talking like

258
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: three years seventy million dollars or are we getting the

259
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: guy for like two years thirty million dollars. You know,

260
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: he's fast, he's only thirty years old. He's probably gonna

261
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: be very, very expensive, and some team is gonna give

262
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: him a lot of money. High character guy, team leader, winner,

263
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: Like I mean, he brings a lot to the table.

264
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to count his pennies, but I'd just

265
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: be very hesitant when it comes to third contract, guys

266
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: breaking the bank. That's why I think a guy like

267
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk is a fascinating case study. Right when you

268
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: look at Ayuk, you go, I thought, last year, given

269
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: his previous production and his upside, you know, you're talking

270
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: seventeen to eighteen million dollars to extend and the forty

271
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: nine ers. We talked about this, like listen, we extended

272
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: both after his fourth year. You're gonna have to wait. Then.

273
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: Ayukas one of his best seasons. Clearly if you just

274
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: watch him on a weekly basis, he's a fantastic player.

275
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: Because of the team he plays on, his numbers are

276
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: probably not appropriate to where his value and talent is.

277
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: You put Brandon Ayuk on the Chiefs or the Bills,

278
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you're looking at one hundred and ten catch guy.

279
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: That's why I think these negotiations can get pretty complicated, Right.

280
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Is he a guy that's looking for five years, one

281
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five million dollars and seventy eighty million

282
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed? I really like him. Is he ever gonna

283
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: be a top three or four wide receiver in the league?

284
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: Probably not so. When I got to pay premiums. Like

285
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: when Tyreek and DeVante broke the bank a couple of

286
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: years ago, it was pretty clear probably the best and

287
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: second best wide receivers in the league, I mean, who

288
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: have dominated at the highest level for a long period

289
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: of himet Now part of this is projecting. It's why

290
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers he has a lot of value

291
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: to them. They know him really well. He's a complete player.

292
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: He blocks, But there are rumors about people think he

293
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: might get traded, And Kyle Shanahan talked about this at

294
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: his season ending press conference, like this whole business is

295
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: about valuing what the guy's value is to my team

296
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: and what could I get for the guy. So if

297
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: you could get a first and the third round pick

298
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: for Brandon Ayut, you know pick in the early to

299
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: mid twenties, and a team is then willing to break

300
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: him off, right, So a contract that you are not

301
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: willing to do, whether it's not because you don't think

302
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: he's worth it, but factoring in his value on your

303
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: salary cap, the amount of money the cap hit cash

304
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: is not necessarily an issue for the forty nine ers,

305
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: but then it puts a lot of pressure on you

306
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: making the right draft picks. Ultimately why the Kancy Chiefs

307
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: are back to back Super Bowl champs because when they

308
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: traded Tyreek Hill, they nailed their draft. They immediately got

309
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: impact players for those picks. The problem with the forty

310
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: nine ers when they traded to Forest Bucker, they drafted

311
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: Javon kind Law, who is a guy that signed gonna

312
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: be on their team next year. They didn't pick up

313
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: his fifth year option. If instead of Javon Kinlaw they've

314
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: used that pick on Tristan Wurfs, that got it. That

315
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: was a no brainer trade because at the time when

316
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: they traded Buckler, who I thought was a good player,

317
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: not a great player who you're gonna have to pay

318
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: a lot of money like, he was not Aaron Donald.

319
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: He's not a lot of the high high Fletcher Cox

320
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: in his front. He's not that. And you know, that's

321
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: where I think they're having the conversation with Brandon and

322
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: he's really good and they really like him, but what

323
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: is the cost? And the problem is once you make

324
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: that trade, because I go, hey, you got a first

325
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: and a third round pick for him, then you actually

326
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: have to draft players in those spots and that that's

327
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: where it gets complicated and that's the whole point of

328
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: the exercises going on right now in all these NFL teams.

329
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: What is it worth for us to sign our guys

330
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: long term, and what is it worth if we did

331
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: trade them, like the value of the players that we

332
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: can potentially get with those draft picks, and there comes

333
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on that. But when you do

334
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: make the right draft, when you do trade a player

335
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: for a high pick, right the Chiefs Tyreek Hill and

336
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: then you get Trent McDuffie and you hit a home

337
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: run on the pick, you get an all Pro caliber

338
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: player on a very, very cheap salary. I was texting

339
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jeremiah. I'm like, Brock Bowers makes a lot

340
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: of sense for the h Harbaugh and the Chargers. He's like,

341
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: the problem is when you draft a guy at five

342
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: or six at that position, he immediately makes eight nine

343
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: million dollars. Well, the franchise tag for a tight end

344
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: is like twelve million dollars, so he's already immediately one

345
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: of the highest paid players at his position. So if

346
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: he is not an all star level player immediately, it's

347
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: not good value. Where if I get a tackle or

348
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman or even a corner who is an

349
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: impact player, immediately that seven eight to nine million dollars

350
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: salary is actually a cheap deal at his position. So

351
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: you have to like, this is ultimately a business, and

352
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: it's a big you know, you got to put the

353
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: pie chart together of the player the salary, and it's very,

354
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: very complicated, and it's it's easy for all of us.

355
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: And listen, I make a living off it, you know,

356
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: giving praise and being critical of different decisions. But all

357
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: these decisions are calculated risks. And that's the hard part

358
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: about the sport of football. That I saw this headline

359
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: today on ESPN dot com is that Anthony Rendon, the

360
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: former champion from the Washington Nationals, he said that baseball's

361
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: not his number one priority. And I'm like, listen, it's

362
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: you know, the media always defends athletes when they say that.

363
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: It's like, well, the Angels gave him two hundred and

364
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: forty five million dollars. Imagine any business buying something, buying

365
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: an asset, and especially if it's a person and that

366
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: person going, yeah, this isn't my top priority, This isn't

367
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: something I just view this like a job. Probably not

368
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: gonna be a good business. Proposition. Now, obviously he got injured,

369
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: he's never been the same, but like kind of speaks

370
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: to his mindset. I would imagine if he would have

371
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: said that before free agency. I don't know if that

372
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million dollars is sitting there on

373
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: the table. And that's a huge part of investing in

374
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: guys in free agency. Like I say this over and over,

375
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: the contract the Denver Broncos gave Mike McGlinchey is pretty

376
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: insane because he's not a good enough player. But I

377
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: think Sean Payton goes well. He's a five year starter

378
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: for a team that was in a bunch of big games.

379
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: He's played in a Super Bowl, He's played in playoff games.

380
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan loved him, Like I am getting a guy

381
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: that has a lot of check marks off the field.

382
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: It's why when you buy guys that have some question

383
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: marks off the field and then it doesn't work out,

384
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 1: you only yourself to blame, you know. I would say

385
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: one of the most famous flops in NFL history is

386
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: that Albert Hainsworth contract. Well, you get this guy who's

387
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: just going to you for money. Your organization's disaster. Remember

388
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: when Shanahan got the job, and he made Haynesworth run

389
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: like one hundred yards sprints and Hainsworth couldn't make it

390
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: and he like plopped there on the ground and was exhausted.

391
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: You got to be very very careful with That's why

392
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: character really matters, because money just exposes you. And in NFL,

393
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: if you can hit free agency and you're you know,

394
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: one of the higher end free agents, not necessarily relative

395
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: to the league, but just of your free agent class, like,

396
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna get life altering money right now. You're talking

397
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: fifty sixty seventy million dollars in guarantee like that. That

398
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: can change your mindset if you're not all in on football.

399
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: And let's face it, football is a very unique sport

400
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: where you don't play very often. The majority of your

401
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: year is working, is practice, is training. You only get

402
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: seventeen spots or shots, and that's assuming that you don't

403
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: miss any games. So I would imagine the average NFL

404
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: player does not play seventeen games a season. One thing

405
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to institute moving forward because I mean, it's

406
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: one of the most fun times of the year and

407
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite events of the year. No

408
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: no on like game would be the NFL Draft. I

409
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: love the NFL Draft. I think that's a big reason

410
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: growing up following you know, college football, the NFL draft

411
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: is why I aspired to get involved in football. And

412
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: the first time, you know, you kind of get to

413
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: go into the draft room, it's it's a very very

414
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: cool thing. And I've always said this, Like us as

415
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: fans or me as a podcaster, we have very similar

416
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: conversations as those do in an NFL room. Right. Scouts

417
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: with the NFL talk about football players no differently than us,

418
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: Like is this guy any good? Is this guy overrated? God?

419
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't really like this guy. Now they have more information,

420
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: they study the guy closer, you know, they have much

421
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: more of like a microscope over the guy's entire body

422
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: of work. But they have just flatline takes and opinions.

423
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: They're very similar to ours. It's what makes it fun.

424
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: You think this guy's good. I don't think this guy's good,

425
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: and then we argue over it. I think this guy

426
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: is better than the other guy. In an NFL draft,

427
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: you you literally just rank players one through ten, one

428
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: through thirty two, one through two hundred, no differently than

429
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: you and your buddy, like I'd rather have this guy,

430
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: this guy, and this guy over that guy, that guy,

431
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 1: and that guy. And I think what makes the draft

432
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: very fascinating is there are a million opinions in college

433
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: football as a whole. Maybe there have been times when

434
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: it was quote unquote more popular, but it's pretty damn popular.

435
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: It's the number two sport in America by a wide,

436
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,239
Speaker 1: wide margin. So a lot of people have opinions on

437
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: the top college players. Why because we've watched them. I've

438
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: seen the television ratings. Ten fifteen to twenty million people

439
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 1: are watching some of these big college games. And Ohio

440
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: State happens to play in the biggest games like they

441
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: play Michigan. Twenty million people watch rightfully. So it's an

442
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: incredible television product. And one thing I learned when I

443
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: was in the NFL and now I do this for

444
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: a living, is like the hype machine is real, and

445
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 1: when the hype machine takes off, there is no slowing

446
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: it down. On Netflix, there's a show called Buried Buried

447
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: and it's about the avalanche in Squaw Valley alpine meadows

448
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: back in the early eighties. And listen, I grew up

449
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: going to Lake Tahoe as a kid. I haven't skied

450
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: in probably fifteen twenty years, but I used to ski

451
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: a lot from probably ages ten to eighteen. And one

452
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: thing you're always, you know, a little nervous about when

453
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: you hear the you know, dynamite going off. They're checking

454
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: for avalanches. They're certain areas, especially as you get a

455
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: little bit better skiing, you go backcountry skiing like you

456
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: gotta be careful, and when an avalanche starts rolling down

457
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: the hill, there is no stopping it. It only gains momentum. Well,

458
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: it's no different when it comes to the hype around

459
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: a player. One thing I've learned in being around it

460
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: very closely and now doing this is there's a big

461
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: gap between people that study the NFL twenty four to seven,

462
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: three sixty five and those that do that with college.

463
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: And I've always said this, Listen, I'm not a Kirk

464
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: Kurbstreet hater. I actually really like him. I just don't

465
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: like him on my NFL game. And in fairness to him,

466
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: that's a very very difficult spot to just fly into.

467
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: It's hard. He's excellent at college, no different than Joel Klatt. Right,

468
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: those guys know the college game they know the college coaches,

469
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: they know the college players at the big programs very

470
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: very well. And when you're around something very very closely,

471
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: you can just you know, biases. He might be even

472
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: the wrong word, but you can just get a little

473
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: jad into stuff, and you can have an agenda of

474
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: like you really like the person. So he's an easy

475
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: person to root for. And the way that if you

476
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: just listen to college people talk about Marvin Harrison, you

477
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: think the guy was fucking Jerry Rice. You think the

478
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: guy was better than his dad. Honestly, like, the chances

479
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: that he's better than his dad are slim. The nun

480
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: his dad's in the Hall of Fame. His dad's one

481
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: of the great players of my life. And that's not

482
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: a slight at Marvin Harrison. So everyone's saying, Marvin Harrison

483
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: is this can't miss player. He's the number one wide

484
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: receiver on the board. And I heard Michael Lombardi today

485
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: on his podcast saying I've talked to some teams that

486
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: don't even have him as the number one wide receiver

487
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: on their board. And when you say something like that,

488
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: anyone that is pro Marvin Harrison thinks that that's like,

489
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, an enormous criticism, Like being number two on

490
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: a draft board is a crazy thing to be and

491
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it today, Like the best part

492
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: about the NFL on draft day is wherever you're drafted,

493
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: it's an enormous moment for your life, but it does

494
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: not determine your success. We've seen a lot of Top

495
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: ten players not even being the league five years later.

496
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: And we've seen a lot of fifth to six to

497
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: seventh round picks become stalwarts on Pro Bowls, All Pros,

498
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: and in playoff game. And I looked at the AP

499
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: All Pro First and second team this year of the

500
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: guys on that team and where they were drafted. Tyreek Hill,

501
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: now he got kicked out of Oklahoma State, had some issues.

502
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: He was a third day pick, Ceede Lamb while a

503
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: first round pick. Multiple wide receivers were drafted ahead of him.

504
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk picked twenty seven countless wide receivers drafted ahead

505
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: of him. Puka Nakua definitely not a first round pick.

506
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: Then you get to the second team guys like AJ Brown,

507
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: Amna ros Saint Brown fourth round pick. You get a

508
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: lot of guys I always hate this notion, like this

509
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: guy fell in the draft, he went picked forty one,

510
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: like he's a wide receiver. There's there's countless other positions

511
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: that pushed him down. Just because you go in the

512
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: second round does not mean you're some scrub. Asked the

513
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: Eagles in AJ Brown or the forty nine ers and

514
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel or Seattle and DK Metcalf. I hate this

515
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: notion just because because if it gets out that Marvin

516
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: Harrison is not the universal number one player on every

517
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 1: team's board, people be like, that's fucking insane. Is it?

518
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: Like Marvin Harrison is still probably going in the top ten,

519
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: But if he goes ninth instead of six and the

520
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: dude from LSU or the dude from Washington go ahead

521
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: of him, isn't that crazy? Cause I would say it's

522
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: probably a fifty to fifty proposition, that's what's gonna happen.

523
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: And I asked, I remember earlier in the season a

524
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: scouting buddy that goes through the University of Michigan, and

525
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: I said, sometimes you watch Ohio State and you know,

526
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: it's like he doesn't jump off the screen like a

527
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: Julio Jones or Jamar Chase did at LSU, and he's like, well, listen,

528
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: He's not those guys physically, He's just really good at everything.

529
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he's a superstar at one thing. He's

530
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: just viewed as almost like a can't miss player. Who again,

531
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: high end guy, really really good player, no doubt about it.

532
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: First round pick. But like when I think the overall

533
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: pick or the sixth overall pick at wide receiver, you

534
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: fucking better be Julio Jones, you better be Jamar Chase, right.

535
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Jalen Wattle is an excellent player. Google

536
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: his stats. He's dominated the NFL when he's played. He

537
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: was on the first wide receiver off the board. There's

538
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: a decent chance Devonte Smith gets a contract extension this offseason.

539
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: He lasted out of the top ten. So this notion that,

540
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: like not being the number one player on a draft

541
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: board at your position is some indictment of you as

542
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: a player, is just moronic. Last I checked, Patrick Mahomes

543
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: was the first quarterback taken in his draft. Now, granted

544
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: that was a major mistake and mitchter Misky was, but

545
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: that's the way it works. And listen, the chances that

546
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: whether it's a doonesday, the LSU guy Harrison Cole Mian

547
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: at Florida State, that there's a chance to do it

548
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: in the third round, is gonna be better than them all.

549
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: That's what makes the draft so cool. Just because you're

550
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: drafted I that means you get a lot of money.

551
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't necessarily guarantee anything for your success. Who in

552
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: their right mind saw Pooka Nakua coming. Nobody, not even

553
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: the Rams, because if they did, they would have traded up,

554
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: they would have found a way to draft him higher.

555
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: But then it happens and everyone's like, Oh, this dude's

556
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna catch a hundred balls every year for a while.

557
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: So I think sometimes when we talk about the draft,

558
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: everything becomes so negative when it's not even a negative.

559
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: If the guy gets drafted tenth or eleventh, is he

560
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: falling in the draft or did he just get drafted

561
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: really high. One thing I wanted to do, and I

562
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: was trying to think of a topic or think of

563
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: a way to name this kind of segment. I couldn't

564
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: figure out a good one. So I'm gonna need some

565
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: help right now. I just have topic Tuesday. This is

566
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: a very very fluid segment. I just want something on

567
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: a weekly basis to to screw around a little bit

568
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: that isn't necessarily football related, just something, just a topic

569
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: that's going around that we can just bullshit about. And

570
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: it's one I'm gonna pick. Like today, my topic Tuesday

571
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: is just what the hell do we do without football?

572
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: Because I was thinking about it this weekend flipping the channels.

573
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: Obviously college football has been gone for a little while,

574
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: but then you get Sundays. It's a weird feeling, it

575
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: really is. And Maria was back in California for a

576
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: baby shower, had the house by myself, wasn't much to do.

577
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: I just kind of lounged around, and I would have died.

578
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: Like when you watch as much football as I watch,

579
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: and as I'm sure a lot of you listening watch,

580
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: it's a pretty big jolt to the system without it.

581
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: And I just wrote down some things that you can

582
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: attempt to do now that football is gone because I

583
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: did it. I flipped the channels and I just looked

584
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: around and I watched the Ferrari movie. It was kind

585
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: of okay. I would give it, you know, a five

586
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: out of ten. I watched some of the True Detective Show.

587
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: I don't really like ghosts. I don't really like imagining things.

588
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: It's not really my style as a show. I'd rather

589
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: just have like things that are actually realistic. Not seeing

590
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: something that's not actually there kind of turn me off.

591
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: Though the show is not bad, that element kind of

592
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: turns me off. But there is nothing on TV. You

593
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: would have had to pay me to watch the too.

594
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: You know, the the NBA All Star Game, which is

595
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: easily now everyone's admitted it an all time disaster. At

596
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: least in football they acknowledged a couple of years ago.

597
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: No one's trying. Let's go to flag football now, at

598
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: least when you turn it on, not that I did.

599
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: I didn't watch that either. You know, they're playing flag football.

600
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: Like in basketball, you should be able to play relatively hard.

601
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: The injury risk is relatively low. When you're scoring two

602
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven points in a game of All stars,

603
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: like that's a major problem, especially when the commissioner was like,

604
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna play hard this year, and then Larry Bird

605
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: but I think he was speaking oh because it was

606
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: and Indiana was like, guys, I really look forward to

607
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: these guys trying hard. And then the game broke out,

608
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: and clearly I saw some highlights to day at the gym, like,

609
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: holy shit, this thing's a joke. One thing I need

610
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: to work on is being more social. Now I have

611
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: no excuse, like, well, I can't really do it. I

612
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: gotta watch Penn State Michigan. Oh just you know, I

613
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: gotta go with Colin Ton. I gotta watch all these

614
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: football games now, I have no excuse. A couple people

615
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: texting me, Hey, you want to come watch the fights,

616
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, eh, kind of, but I alsn't

617
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: want to relax. I think there's a time post football

618
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: when you actively try to get more social. And I listen,

619
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: some of you guys are social butterflies. It's something I

620
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: need to put more effort into, for sure. Theod thing

621
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: is chores. You realize how little you do when you

622
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: watch Thursday night football, watching football on Friday. You watch

623
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: football day Saturday Sunday, and then you talk about football

624
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: leading up to Monday night football, and then you talk

625
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: about more football after Monday night football. You don't do

626
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: much chour wives, And you know, I put some things together,

627
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: hung some stuff the garage like it's shortime. So I

628
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: think moving forward chores and just doing stuff around the house.

629
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: My garage right now looks like a war zone. They're

630
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: is shit. I don't even know where to start. I

631
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: gotta get some like cabinets in there. That's not gonna

632
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: be cheap. But I think chores and just trying to

633
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: be productive around the house. You feel good about yourself.

634
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: Getting outside is a big vitamin D because especially for

635
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: you guys that live in colder weather cities, it's an

636
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: easy excuse just gonna stay inside, watch some ball, have

637
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: some beers. But that's a huge part of life as

638
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: the springtime comes and the summer is just getting outside. Obviously,

639
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: if you like golf, time to play some golf, but

640
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: in quality time with your loved ones. I something I saw.

641
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't have children yet, but I was picking up

642
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: a sandwich yesterday at this place called Sour Doughs, I

643
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: think it's called. It's got incredible turkey sandwiches, and you know,

644
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: trying to be healthy. So I got a little chicken

645
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: salad and this guy was there with his daughter who

646
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: was probably I'm bad with ages, somewhere between like four

647
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: and six. And she was eating her sandwich talking to

648
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: her dad, and he had his phone out and listen,

649
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: I am in no position to phone shame a soul.

650
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to phone shame anybody, but it made

651
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: me think like if I had a young daughter and

652
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: she was talking with me and I was just on

653
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: my phone scrolling, it was a pretty jolting visual. Now again,

654
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to judge the guy. Maybe he's had

655
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: a long day, maybe he's checking some emails. It's not

656
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: like I looked at his phone to see what. He

657
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: might not even have been on Instagram. Maybe he was

658
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: texting back his wife. But I was like, God, and

659
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: he's not alone. Everywhere you look, everyone is just constantly

660
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: on their phone constantly. We're all addicted. I mean, if

661
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: if the iPhone was cracked, America would all be crack addicts.

662
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: That's not even debatable at this point in time. And

663
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,479
Speaker 1: I think one thing that I'm gonna really try moving

664
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: forward is just try to get a little more quality

665
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: time just with people in my life. If you're with someone,

666
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: it's always say like be present, and then you're like

667
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: ten minutes in and you're like checking Instagram. You're like, God,

668
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: that video is pretty funny. How about that dog? Hey

669
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: check out this dog? But listen. No more excuses to

670
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: just sit on your couch watch football, scroll on your

671
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: phone in a iPad. It's time to just share some

672
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: time with quality time with our loved ones, get outside

673
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: and enjoy life. Okay, mailbag time very very easy to

674
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: get in the mailbag. You guys know the drill at

675
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff at John middle Cooff is the Instagram. Fire

676
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: in those dms and holler at your boy. Start with

677
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: Mike Eagles fan here. What do you think of Philly's

678
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: new coordinator hires. I think more and Fangio are definitely

679
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: an upgrade from last year, but I'm not super confident

680
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: we can turn back the clock to twenty two. Would

681
00:35:54,360 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: like to know your thoughts. I mean, one upgrade. Kellen

682
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: Moore is better than Brian Johnson, and Vic Fangio is

683
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: the best defensive coordinator they've had since Jim Johnson. Jim

684
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: Schwartz pretty good too, but Vic Fangio is an elite

685
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Uh so, yeah, I mean I think the

686
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: two hires are no brainers, right. I said this though

687
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: back when they made the hires. There's more than just

688
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: like in a vacuum. It's it's like a player, good player,

689
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: but there's a lot goes on in an organization. How

690
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: will we mesh with the head coach? How will we

691
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: mesh with the players? The scheme fits of the different

692
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: players would be a seamless transition. A lot of unknowns

693
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: and it takes time to figure stuff out. One thing's

694
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: pretty clear. I read this Athletic article on Shane Stiken.

695
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: Shane Stikeen was might be a pretty special coach, So

696
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: replacing that, like Kellen Moore's not that So when you

697
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: say get back to the magic of twenty twenty, defensively

698
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna be better, and offensively they're not gonna be

699
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: as bad as last year either. But sometimes you get

700
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: a coach and you just never replace him. It happened

701
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: with dan Quinn with Kyle Shanahan. Like Sark was good

702
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: for dan Quinn, it wasn't Kyle, And I think that

703
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: might be the case with change sdike In. And I

704
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: think if you look back, it's hard to do this

705
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: at the time, but if they had to do over,

706
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: I think what they would do is they just would

707
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: have hired changed. They would have fired Sirianni and hired

708
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: stike In even after the Super Bowl. It's obviously Hindsight's

709
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty Monday Morning quarterback. But it's pretty clear who

710
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: the coaching star is. My question is it seems like

711
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: a Yuk is on his way out. I wouldn't go

712
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: that far yet. I think the only way he's on

713
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 1: his way out is if they got Like the reason

714
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: they traded to Forrest Buckner was because they got the

715
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: thirteenth pick. Now they made the wrong decision. If they

716
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: had to do over, they just we're taking trists and

717
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: worse instead of Javon Kinlaw. But if you got the

718
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: thirteenth pick for Brandon Nayuk, you'd have to trade the guy.

719
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: But if I'm getting the twenty, if I'm getting the

720
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs thirty second pick, not that they could even financially

721
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: afford to give him eighty million bucks or whatever, I'm

722
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: just not doing it. So it if someone knocked on

723
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: my door right now and said, hey, I'll give you

724
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: four million dollars for your house, I'd say, when do

725
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: you want to move in? Right? But if the same

726
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: guy said, hey, I'll give you two million dollars for

727
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: your house, It's like, Eh, already put a lot into this.

728
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: Am I really making that much money? I got to

729
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: pack up. The rates are high? Where am I going

730
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: to move to. So I think it's well, what, Yeah,

731
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: they trade brand Nayuk, but for what? For an offer

732
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: that they can't turn down? Yeah? Of course is that

733
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: offer available? Would you trade him for pick twenty six?

734
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: Aren't you better off just keeping him? Maybe you wait

735
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: till the draft, Maybe you see on draft day, maybe

736
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: you'd be willing. I mean, we're a long way away

737
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: from that, but like we trade him on draft day

738
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: if a certain player is there. Eagles fan, I don't

739
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: think Sirianni should have been fired, but I would really

740
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: like a head coach that calls plays. Due to coordinators

741
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: moving around all the time, do you think the CEO

742
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: head coaches will be a thing of the past soon enough? Well,

743
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: let's think about the head coaches hired this year. Dave

744
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: Canalis in Carolina, we'll call the place. Jim Harbaugh CEO

745
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: head coach New England. It is Mayo calling the plays.

746
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: I would hope, so, right, Dan Quinn, will he call

747
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: the defense? I hope. Last year Sean Payton hired Denver,

748
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: like he's calling the place. I just think if you're

749
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: hiring a guy in paying him a lot of money,

750
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: a huge part of the hire is based on his expertise,

751
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: which is typically offense or defense. Now, there are certain

752
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: guys that train and send that Harbot, I would say

753
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: is an outlier. The Harbab Brothers. They're really good at

754
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: hiring coaches, They're really good at mentoring young coaches and

755
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: turning them into stores, and they're just elite leaders. But

756
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: for the most part, I don't know. I would always

757
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: lean Sean McVeigh, Kyle Shanahan, Matt Lafleur, Like, give me

758
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: even I understand Seattle hiring Mike McDonald have him call

759
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: the place. I understood why everyone wanted Ben Johnson, because

760
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: even if he's not a great leader, it's like, welly,

761
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: can you fucking dial up the place? Which is not

762
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: the end all be all? But who's the best coach

763
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: currently in the NFL? The big guy in Kansas City,

764
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: what's he do? Callse the offense just wanted to give

765
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,959
Speaker 1: you a shot out for helping me save twenty dollars

766
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: on game time. I'm a South Florida sports fan living

767
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: in Denver. Going to Heat Nuggets in a couple of

768
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: weeks enjoy, my friend. Is usually when the Miami Heat

769
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: kind of turn it up. Hey, John, I don't have

770
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: an insta, so I'm messaging you off my fiance's Instagram.

771
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: Can you see some thoughts on Trent Balkey? His drafts

772
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville have been horrible. I know your thoughts about

773
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: te law but he lucked into Trevor. And the rumor

774
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: is that Urban was in charge of the draft that year. Anyway, Yeah,

775
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: and my mom would have picked Trevor Lawrence that year.

776
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: Now he's fumbling around trying to build somewhat competitive roster

777
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: for two years and all he wants to do is

778
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: draft linebackers. What can you speak of in his weird

779
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: endings in San Francisco? And is there light at the

780
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: end of the tunnel. For a long time Jacks fan, uh,

781
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: I always thought he was pretty good, but there were

782
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: always rumors. His first couple of drafts, he benefited a

783
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: lot from having Scott mccluan, who was battling some alcohol

784
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: issues and kind of quit Slash got fired. He took over.

785
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: He used his draft board to draft guys like Navarro, Bowman,

786
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, Mike you Potty and it was a draft

787
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: that kind of changed everything. And then his next draft,

788
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: they were drafting really high. It was like Alden Smith, Kaepernick,

789
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: Chris Culliver, Bruce Miller. He had a couple drafts that

790
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,959
Speaker 1: kind of helped with already guys there, Frank or Willis, Vernon,

791
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: Davis Crabtree. He didn't draft any of those guys, Joe Staley.

792
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they had a lot of good players already

793
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: on the roster, but he had Jim Harbaugh, which you

794
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: know he kind of got credit for. There were rumors

795
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: that he was like jogging around, but then he started

796
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: having pretty bad drafts. Even though a couple of his

797
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: draft picks that everyone hated at the time, Jimmy Ward

798
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: I turned out to be a really good pick. Eric

799
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: Armstead really good pick. So he's probably not as bad

800
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: as the hype. To me, the negative on Trent has

801
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: always been is he always backstabbing somebody because he kind

802
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: of and listen his relationship. He's always been pretty cool

803
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: to me, even though the first time I met him

804
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: was a little weird. When I was a GA at

805
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: Fresno State, he was kind of a dick, But then

806
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: when he was with the Niners, he was so a

807
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: lot of people don't like him. I never really had

808
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 1: an issue with him. Anytime you're a general manager, that's

809
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: known as like scout guy. I just sit in my

810
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: office and watch a bunch of tape. I'm not the

811
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: most social guy. I just want to watch football players,

812
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: which is fine. Are you also the guy that like,

813
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: oh he just he's kind of like this gruff, old

814
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: school scout, but it will also take him ashetty and

815
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: cut off your head when you're not looking for a

816
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 1: guy that kind of has this old school football guy

817
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: kind of vibe to him. He's a sneaky politician. He's

818
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: always kind of angling for stuff. Remember when he got

819
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: hired in Jacksonville and then he kind of worked his

820
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: way and now he's in charge, and now there's some

821
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: rumors like him and Doug. I just think guys like

822
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: Trent in life you gotta be careful with because they'll

823
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to get that position. That's the thing, Like,

824
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: I have no problem in the private sect. When you're

825
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: a business owner, your business is becomes your identity, and

826
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: the health of that business is everything you put something into.

827
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: But ultimately transis an employee. So it's like he's kind

828
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 1: of always working the owners against the coach, maybe against

829
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 1: the player. It's just a bizarre situation. With guys like that.

830
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like, a little bit from the

831
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: outside pleasure as always, What do you think about nfls

832
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: dot com list for teams with the biggest Super Bowl window?

833
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: Do you agree with it? Or is there a different

834
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: team you think has a better shot this upcoming season.

835
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: I just think super Bowl windows. Let's just see who's

836
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: on everybody's team at the end of the draft. A

837
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: lot's gonna change in the next two months. The NFL

838
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: is so fluid, obviously. If you have Mahomes, if you

839
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: have lamar if you have Josh Allen, you're gonna be good.

840
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: Right the Chargers now have Herbert and Harbaugh, They're gonna

841
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: be good. But like some of these teams, like do

842
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: the Broncos or the Raiders or the Falcons. Do one

843
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: of these teams like get a sweet quarterback in the

844
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: draft and the guy changes their future? Or do they not?

845
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: Should in the front office of the Bears trade fields

846
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,479
Speaker 1: to the AFC West or East because he would likely

847
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: find it difficult to win or even spectacularly failed next

848
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: year having to play against Mahomes, Harbos, Payton, Lamarborough and

849
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: prove he stinks. I don't want fields to fail. From

850
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: a personal standpoint, but from a front office job security standpoint,

851
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: doesn't this make sense? Why would you send him to

852
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: Atlanta shitty division and weak NFC. When you pivot off

853
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: a guy because you don't believe in him, you have

854
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: to have the conviction that the reason you're you know,

855
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: getting rid of the guy, trading the guy acquiring someone

856
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: else is because you know you're right. Andy Reid traded

857
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 1: Donovan McNabb to the Washington commanders because he knew Donovan

858
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: wasn't any good anymore. It happens a lot, I think

859
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: in relationships, and you break up with somebody or you

860
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: get dumped because that person doesn't believe that you're their person, right.

861
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: And when you break up with when you dump somebody

862
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: and you start seeing her on Instagram, like dating other people,

863
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: it's easy when you're like, oh, that guy's probably a scrub,

864
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: not making much money. But she gets with a guy,

865
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: You're like, goddamn, she on a private jet right now?

866
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: Are they in Cabo San Lucas? What is going on here?

867
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: So the reason, though, is you gotta trust your gut

868
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: and you did it for a reason. So no matter

869
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: what you see on Instagram, you gotta keep telling yourself,

870
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: I didn't like her that much. It was never gonna work.

871
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 1: So trading him to Atlanta, Who gives a shit if

872
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: you don't think he can play. I don't care if

873
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and you know Walter Payton are

874
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: walking through that door. You got to trade him to

875
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,479
Speaker 1: who offers you the best return. That's the key, because

876
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: you no longer believe in the guy. So like, am

877
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: I taking a third round pick instead of a second

878
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: round pick because I think this is going to be

879
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: a harder destination. Hell no, if I'm out on him,

880
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm out on him. It's easier said than done. But

881
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: you gotta have conviction when you make the move. Belichick

882
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: did it all the time. Bledsoe to Buffalo, cut loyal Malloy,

883
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: He went to Buffalo. He didn't care because he knew

884
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: deep down he was right. If you're the Bucks, what

885
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: should they do with Baker going forward? I'm leaning for

886
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: an extension, But my problem with that is there is

887
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: no middle ground in quarterback money anymore. It's complicated. Man.

888
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: I think you look at that Jimmy Garoppolo contract last year.

889
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,439
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's the highest end you do.

890
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: But I would have a really really hard time giving Baker.

891
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds crazy, but it's like three years,

892
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: sixty million dollars guarantee forty twenty a Year's that's what

893
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: I would like to do. And I acknowledge like he's

894
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: a solid player. But I'm not getting forty million dollars

895
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: a year. I'm out thirty million dollars a year, I'd

896
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: be out. I watched some games this year where he

897
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: wasn't that good. Again, He's matured a lot. Easy guy

898
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: to root for now. I'm a I'm a pro Baker

899
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: guy who liked him since college. There's also a business

900
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: I like Jared Goff a lot too. I'm pro Jared

901
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 1: Goff at twenty five twenty eight million dollars. I do

902
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: not like Jared Goff at forty two million dollars. If

903
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: you were the commissioner of the NBA or Major League Baseball,

904
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: what changes would you make to try to catch up

905
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: to popularity of football. There is no changes that can

906
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: be made. The consumer is telling you, we have, like

907
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: the amount of people listening to me right now that

908
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: are someone you know in my age group, that have

909
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: young children, that have a busy life, that have a job,

910
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: that need to work out, that are just doing things.

911
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: Do not have time to watch baseball games every night.

912
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: Do not have time to watch a basketball game when

913
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: the players aren't even trying. The thing football really benefits

914
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: from one It's easy to gamble on, it's easy to

915
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 1: play fantasy football, so all the auxiliary stuff around it

916
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,439
Speaker 1: make it very very easy to participate, and it doesn't

917
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: take that much of my time. I'm home anyway the

918
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: majority of America on Sunday and it's on television. And

919
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: then the other games when my team is playing either

920
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: on Thursday night Sunday night, or I mean Thursday or

921
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: Monday night, it's at night, which obviously those two sports

922
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: are too But I don't think there's anything they can do.

923
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: There's no cheat, subtle changes you can make unless Michael

924
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: Jordan or Babe Ruth walk back through that door. It's

925
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: just it's only going to go the other way. And

926
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 1: it has a lot to do with the fragmentation of

927
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: our entertainment. We have a million fucking options. The crazy

928
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: part it is, I have every streaming service known to man,

929
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: and it's hard to find things to watch. I don't

930
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: know if that's a rider strike or what love the

931
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 1: pod in your content one of the best out there

932
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: golf question, if you were the commissioner of the PGA Tour,

933
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: what change would you do to enhance the product? Currently,

934
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: TV coverage is average at best. I talked about this

935
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: on Go Lo this week. You just got to get

936
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: the guys back. The coverage has always been the hard

937
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: part about golf is football, basketballor baseball. When the action

938
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: is going on, the TV's on that action, and when

939
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: commercials happen, nothing's happening. Well in golf, there's a you know,

940
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: there's countless guys all over the course, so you never

941
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: know what's live what's not. You know, when they cut

942
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: back to a big putt, they're like, oh, gemn this

943
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: this looks like a pretty straight putt from seventy five

944
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: feet And then you know what's going in because it

945
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: happened fifteen minutes ago. But I just think that if

946
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: I'm the commissioner of golf, there's only one priority. How

947
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: do we get John Rahm, Brooks, Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Bryson,

948
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 1: d Chambeau, Patrick Reid, cam Smith, the group of their

949
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: younger famous guys back playing with our guys. That's the

950
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: only thing that matters right now really is as a

951
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: UK based new to the NFL fan, it's been great

952
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,439
Speaker 1: to listen to the pod and learn more about the game.

953
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: One thing that really surprises me in American sports is

954
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: why the home fans and the awayed road fans aren't

955
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: separated like they are and over here specifically soccer. If

956
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: this was adopted in the NFL would lead to better

957
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: atmospheres and less trouble. I understand a large number of

958
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: fans at times are tourists and maybe not home road fans,

959
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: but interested to hear if you think this would work, well,

960
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 1: it's a good question, interesting insight, I guess. If I

961
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: let's just use an example, if I'm going to an

962
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: Eagles game, or a Niner game, or a New England

963
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: Patriot game, the overwhelming majority of people at that stadium

964
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: are gonna be a fan of that team, So the

965
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: contingent of away fans is going to be relatively small. Now,

966
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: because of the way our businesses work, and I'm in

967
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: business with ticketing companies, the secondary ticketing market, getting tickets

968
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: has never been easier, so a lot of you know,

969
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 1: there are certain teams in this country that travel very well.

970
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: The Packers, the Steelers, the Cowboys, they have fans nationally,

971
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: So how could I dictate, Like, I can't sell you

972
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: this seat if you're a Cowboy fan. It's just it's

973
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: hard over here. It happens more in college football. Like

974
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: if you watch Ohio State play Wiscon and they're playing

975
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: at Wisconsin, there is a specific Ohio State section. I

976
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: don't I'd have to talk to someone in the business, like,

977
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:14,479
Speaker 1: I don't think it's really plausible in football, in pro

978
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: football to have that happen, But that's it's a unique

979
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: way to look at it, would it. Yeah, I mean

980
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: I think part of the fights, and I'm sure you've

981
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 1: seen the viral videos, it's a lot of guys fighting

982
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: themselves rooting for the same team. It's not always, you know,

983
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: Raider fan versus Chiefs fan, Rams fan versus Charger fan.

984
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: Sometime you watch these videos go viral. They're both wearing

985
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: the same color jersey and they're fighting each other. Bucks

986
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: fan here. Again, we need an upgrade at the running

987
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: back position. I don't think we can get one of

988
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: the top free agent running backs. But what is your

989
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: opinion on using a second round pick on someone like

990
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: Blake korn Baker can duplicate this past season, I believe

991
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: we are running back away from being taken seriously. Yeah,

992
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: to me, Blake Koram is probably somewhere between pick fifty

993
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: and seventy five. That's where I would guess. I mean,

994
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: depending on what he runs at the combine. But he's

995
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: a really, really solid player. To me, he has the

996
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 1: like I could see the charters being all over him.

997
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: I've liked Blake korm his entire college career. Though. A

998
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: good good question, best showing the biz thanks for providing

999
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: young people like myself with wisdom, not just in football

1000
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: but in general. It's very apparent that you're a very

1001
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: talented communicator. Is there any which way you practice this?

1002
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: You know? What's funny is like I would call myself

1003
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: a pretty introverted individual, and sometimes when I'm not podcasting,

1004
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to anybody. I could be

1005
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: at the dinner table with my family, my girlfriend. It's

1006
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,359
Speaker 1: like I just not really in the mood to talk.

1007
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: I can sometimes have to fake it. I no, there's

1008
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: no I've just been talking my entire life. Good question, though,

1009
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: how would you even improve communication practice? Talking to other people.

1010
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: The phone rings, there's zero chance I'm picking up. I

1011
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: don't care who's calling unless it's Coward. Been listening since COVID.

1012
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm sixteen, been a young buck here too early super

1013
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: Bowl prediction, uh, I saw one of the guys I

1014
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: fall with the forty nine Ers cam in and who

1015
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: covers the Niners? Who has for decades his way? Too

1016
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: early super Bowl prediction in New Orleans is forty nine

1017
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: Ers Chargers, which would be sweet. I think the key

1018
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: is to look at the main teams involved, right. I

1019
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: think the forty nine Ers and Lions, those two teams

1020
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: are gonna be right back in the mix. I think

1021
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: the Eagles and Cowboys, if they can just figure out

1022
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: some of their shit, should be right there as well.

1023
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 1: And then the Rams and the Packers are definitely teams

1024
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: to be taken seriously. In the AFC, the Chiefs are

1025
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: the cream of the crop, and if they're in a

1026
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: playoff game, no one's betting against them. And then it's

1027
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: kind of the next crew of teams, the Ravens. They

1028
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 1: lost a coordinator. Who are they gonna lose? In free agency?

1029
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: The sweet defensive lineman's a free agent? How much better.

1030
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: Are the Charger is gonna be Buffalo? Their cap situation?

1031
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? Burrow? Is he back? Is

1032
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: he cool? Is like? Everything look good? Miami? What the

1033
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: fuck are they? Are they just some like sexy team

1034
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: that can score some points? Or can they build up

1035
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: a defense? So I would say the Chiefs first. Whoever

1036
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: comes out of the NFC, can you please tell Colin

1037
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: to tell his buddy Nick Wright that if the forty

1038
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: nine ers rookie kicker can get his foot under the

1039
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: football on a Pat Brock Purty outplays, Mahomes doesn't go

1040
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: to overtime, and the Kansae Chiefs missed the playoffs for

1041
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: the next three seasons. I actually don't think that's true,

1042
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: because you can't play the way a game is playing

1043
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: out in the final six to seven minutes based on

1044
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: a point, one individual point that happened that didn't happen

1045
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, because you approach the game differently

1046
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: when you're down a field goal or when you're down

1047
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: four points. So I don't think that's fair. And here's

1048
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: the thing. Can we stop comparing Purty to fucking the

1049
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: top guy. He's not Patrick Mahomes. He's just not wh

1050
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: Why do we ever put them in the same sentences.

1051
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: Mahomes is one of the great players we've ever seen.

1052
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: Perty's okay, pretty solid, pretty's better than okay. He's good,

1053
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: but he's got some flaws. He's got to improve the

1054
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: second your guy, seventh round pick. I think one problem

1055
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: with Niner fans. They're like too worried and obsessed with

1056
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 1: defending Purty, like he's fucking Steve Young. He's good. I

1057
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: like him, I'm interested to see if he can improve,

1058
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: but we need to stop acting like the guy's Josh Allen.

1059
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: He's like, we would never trade him for anybody else

1060
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: beside Mahomes. Bullshit. Let's just let's just see how this

1061
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: works out. He's making a less than a million dollars.

1062
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm all for defending him when everyone's kind of talking

1063
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: shit because he deserves it, But I'm also not for

1064
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: like anointing him is like this can't miss next ten years.

1065
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: He might be, but he might not be. How you doing, man,

1066
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: I enjoy the show in your authentic takes. I know

1067
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 1: it's unlikely, but would Kyle and the Niners bring in

1068
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: Belichick be a terrible idea? Come on, I would be

1069
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: on the phone begging Bill Belichick. Big Bill will buy

1070
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: you a house. We'll give you private jet use. I'd

1071
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: treat him like sark. What are your wants? We want

1072
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: you to be a defensive coordinator. What will it take

1073
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: us to get you? You want a membership at Monterey

1074
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: Peninsula Country Club? You want a membership at San Francisco

1075
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: Country Club? Would you like a house on the ocean

1076
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: in Carmel? Would you like private jet use so you

1077
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: can fly back to your house in Jupiter when you

1078
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 1: have downtime? Would you like twenty million dollars? What would

1079
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: you like? He is so far and away the best again,

1080
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: feels like you're almost discrediting, like to even have the opportunity.

1081
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: Like if McVeigh or Shanahan got fired, no one would

1082
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: be like, we should hire him to be their offensive

1083
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: Coordinator'd be like, what are you talking about? It? So

1084
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a head coach. Belichick's a head coach,

1085
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: but because of agism and no one wanted to mess

1086
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: with the ego of wanting to pick the players he's not.

1087
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: So if he wants to coach, would he be willing

1088
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: to get a lot of things from the forty nine ers? Money,

1089
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: you name it. They'll jump through hoops to get him

1090
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: for one year to be a defensive coordinator and kind

1091
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: of go double middle fingers of the league because if

1092
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,439
Speaker 1: he did, that'd be incredible. Do I think he's gonna

1093
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: do it? I don't do. I think Kyle has broad

1094
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: set subject one million percent. Do I think he's tried

1095
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: to talk Jed into what would we be willing to

1096
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: give him? What can we use to entice him? He'd

1097
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: be crazy if he didn't. Is a part of me

1098
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: praying that one day I get the notification Adam Schefter shocker,

1099
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, Yes, is there any expectation? No? But without

1100
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: knowing because I don't know Kyle. I know they've talked.

1101
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean he even admitted he said Bill called him to,

1102
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, talk to him after they lost Super Bowl

1103
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: to like support him. How could he not? He'd be crazy.

1104
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: The only way you get a yes is turn a

1105
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: no into a maybe. So you just got to keep

1106
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: hammering home, like Bill, we need you, man, I need you,

1107
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 1: I need you, Bill Belichick. The volume
