Speaker 1: another edition to the Around the NFL Podcast. My name

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: is Dan Hands. I come to you from the virtual room,

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: back in the old virtual room, filled with some heroes,

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Gregg Rosenthal. Wow, boys, listen. This time last

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: year we were doing bunker casts. We were in the darkness,

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: we were in caves and garages and and had no

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: contact with the outside world. This weekend, you know, really

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: starting with Thursday with the Pridecast, the first annual Around

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast Pridecast from Rocos and great feedback on

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: that show. Everyone seemed to really enjoy and we love

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: being about out there. And then Connie and Gonzo and

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: Kristen their friend launched the latest Dad's Summit, so we

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: were partying at her place. And then there was a

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: boat cruise out on Marina del Ray that I was

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: lucky enough to be a part of. Wow, that was

18
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: a summer weekend. Yeah, I was there on on Saturday.

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: Was felt like more of like the training ground and

20
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: the warm up. The kids were, you know, we're allowed

21
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: to be there, part of the festivities. And then the

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: boat was just like full on debauchery. But I give

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: them a lot of credit. They had like good kids,

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: free stuff to play with, like they were very they

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: were very on top of it. And then it looks

26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: like Sunday was just I don't know, it's a lot. Yeah,

27
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: well I'd like to I missed out. Um, you know,

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: we had we had a lot of soccer um activities

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: in our house. So is playing that role You are

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: getting a lot of mileage out of soccer is going

31
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: on lately whenever any type of social engagement. Oh yeah,

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: well no, I mean I wasn't using that as a

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: as a leverage to not go somewhere, but it was.

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: It didn't work out. But um, I want to know

35
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: more about this boat trip because it sounds um, it

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: sounds frisky. It was great. It was booze cruise. Um.

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: We had a nice crew there. My my wife was there,

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Connie Lakisha, Um, handsome Hank, our great friend Deaker drew

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: from the network side. Just like a really very crew,

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of Philly maniacs like Channing, Eiggles and all

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: this other stuff going on in the boat. It was fun,

42
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: but I got the Farmers tan of all time really

43
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: one of the top farmer tans I've ever had in

44
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: my life, where it's just like it's crazy, like it's wild. Um,

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: But that's part of being in the sun and we're

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: back outside around other humans, and that's a part of

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: being a farmer. I mean, you know, he's part of

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: having alabaster skin. But living in Los Angeles Austrian skin, Dan,

49
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: that you were does well? You know, I survived in

50
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: the sun during the pridecast. M I made it. I

51
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: just made it. I know you were. You were tucked

52
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: away in the shade, Mark, and then I saw you

53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: text the next day. You were like, is everybody else

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: It's okay? Man? That sun was killer. Mark was like

55
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: on a t heat and vacation heat vacation underneath a

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: palm tree during the whole show. That's what I don't get.

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: I came home and I had like a killer sunburn.

58
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: Yet I spent almost no time under the sun. So

59
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: something very strange happening in the atmosphere. It's the lack

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: of the Austrian Okay, we'll chalk it up to that.

61
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: All right, Nice show today, Nice show today. I've got

62
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: two more shows this week. Um. As we edge into

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: summer and this is a a big week around the

64
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: NFL because of the thirty two teams start minicamp, and

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna kind of just spin through it an old

66
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: school bunker cast type vibe here. We'll just do a

67
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: spin around the league, go deep dive on the new

68
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: side of things. And I feel like that's that's the

69
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: good way to get us caught up. That's what we

70
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: do because Greg, you know, listen, it was a little

71
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: frivolous um. You know, we got loo Sun Thursday, had

72
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: some fun, but we are a football podcast and we

73
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: just gotta like get very serious about that. I don't

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: think we need to get too serious. If we had

75
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: the juice to be able to pull that off like

76
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: every show, I think we would, But I don't know

77
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: if we have that inside of us to do. You know,

78
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: that wouldn't it wouldn't be special anymore if we could do.

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm almost surprised that we reconvened before taking this little

80
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: breakthrough this That was like a WrestleMania event for us,

81
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: and now we're like that would have been a good

82
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: last show. This is like a Nanuete New Jersey like

83
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: undercard that people are apparently still going to be listening

84
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: to like we're Monday Wednesday, and then we're off for

85
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: six days, but we're still coming back next next Tuesday. Whatever.

86
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: It feels like it's the last week of school, you know,

87
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: like and everyone's going to get out for summer break. Um,

88
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: but it really isn't you know. You guys have your

89
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: TV show. I'll be gone next next by next week

90
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: and we've got the right and then like it all,

91
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: it all turns around pretty quickly, is what I'm saying.

92
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: It feels like because the NFL is about to take

93
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: off for a month of half and my kids are

94
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: done with school as of Friday. So you've gotta love

95
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: You've gotta love the fact that Greg's first moves to

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: downplay the concept of vacation. It's not really a vacation.

97
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: We're not really getting away, were really doing anything. Well,

98
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna be back next soon. Yeah, I know, but

99
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: that's depressing. I don't want to I don't want to

100
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: think about that until next week. We will have some

101
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: time off. It'll be closer to the end of this month,

102
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: early early July. But all right, let's get to without

103
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: further ado. Um. We have sitting in because Ricky's still

104
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: on this bachelorette party, which is wild. By the way,

105
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: we got some dispatches, some unbelievers, some video clips, some

106
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: crazy stuff going on with these bachelorette parties. And by

107
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: the way, one of the people on the booze cruise

108
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: was Ricky's girlfriend, and I did ask her, Uh, there's

109
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: the a t N media insider. I did ask her,

110
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: are you really okay with her going to this bachelor

111
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: at party where the bachelorette is actually her Ricky's ex girlfriend.

112
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: She said she sniffed it out, had conversations with when

113
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: the relationship first started, UM, and feels comfortable with the situation.

114
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to say that's what eric had

115
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: said as well, so it all checked out. I would

116
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: say this too. I mean Erica in terms of what

117
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: content we're getting from the party, and she's been very

118
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: generous with sending along um clips that I don't think

119
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: would be necessarily put out for the public. Um. She's

120
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: the gatekeeper, and there is no hint of her running

121
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: a foul of the rules. She seems to be to

122
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: have her act together. Some of the other people involved

123
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: in the the Lesbionic Bachelor Party. To me, do not

124
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: seem to be played by any rules on any level.

125
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: So I, if anything, Erics you know, done done her

126
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: job to contain herself. Party. All right, let's do the news.

127
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: But anyway, Dan, Greg Mark, you got a huge fan

128
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: down here, some bloke and awesome loves Dan Hanzas Dan,

129
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: You're the best. That's my story there. We got we

130
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: corrected that issue. Mark, It's been corrected. And by the way,

131
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: like I'm not sitting around fuming over that event, but

132
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think about it. I think that

133
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Kyle is an ally of our show and one of them,

134
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: and I, by the way, I have I thought about

135
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: it enough where I've actually spoken um to the person

136
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: who spoke with Kyle, and I have um full details

137
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: on what that actual conversation was. And we'll just sleep

138
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: it right there. Wow. All right, Uh, speaking of which,

139
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,320

00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: can all meet. Take care. What a class act. And

159
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: you could see Matt le Nevis on Amazon's Absentia about that,

160
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'll tell you something else. He's on it.

161
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: He was on a show because I when kind of

162
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: did a deep dive into some of his work. He's

163
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: the one I spoke to you. He's a wonderful guy.

164
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: Total Sweetheart, and he is on a show called The

165
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: You're breaking that news. No, he's just he's a great guy.

166
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: He's he's on a show. He was on a show

167
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: called The Offspring. Um and he appears and see he

168
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: sort of shows up around season two, episode four, and

169
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: he is that he is like the hunky love interest.

170
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: Like he sizzles on screen. He is leading man um

171
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: energy and vibes. So I would suggest anyone go check

172
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: that out. Um, he is a genuinely talented actor. Wow, hunky, sizzling.

173
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: And I haven't heard Mark this excited since Brad Pittock

174
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: is shared I would have well that I would have um, Emily,

175
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: you know she's in casting to take a look at

176
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: his at his skills too. They are legit. Wow. And

177
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: to be clear, Mark, we didn't think that he like

178
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: said Dan Gregg and the guys, we we never thought that.

179
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: You know that that we were putty on. Kyle, you

180
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: know that we're putting on. But I think there was

181
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: a bit of a game of telephone that happened with

182
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: Um with that interaction. But that's fine. I do appreciate

183
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: all the tweets that have come since seeing like great

184
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: to hear Dan Gregg and the guy is all back together.

185
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: I do not I don't like those at all. Um,

186
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: they bring me to a pleasure. In fact, they border

187
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: on annoying. You know it did it also crossed my mind?

188
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: You know, Matt is a successful actor. I wonder if

189
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: we have any other well known listeners, like people that

190
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: are successful in the entertainment field or you know, sports

191
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: and another sport or whatever. I doubt there's a lot

192
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: of NFL stars listening to our show, But you never know,

193
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: I would, um wageer no, Like what if like Jack

194
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: Nicholson was like a huge fan of our podcast, that

195
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: would be awesome. I don't think so. But all right,

196
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: let's get to the news. All right, Let's start with

197
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: Greg's Patriots Stefan Gilmore, the two thousand nineteen NFL Defensive

198
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: Player of the Year star cornerback. You know, he is

199
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: at a bit of an impasse with the team regarding

200
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: his contract act and he is not at mandatory minicamp.

201
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,479
Speaker 1: The Patriots one of these eighteen teams this week. Um,

202
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: everybody needs to be there, and if not, you're getting

203
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: a fun Gilmore is not there, and it's unclear if

204
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: he plans to be there for the rest of the week.

205
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: He's subject to almost ninety four or dollars and fines

206
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: if he misses all three days. Greg, we know how

207
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: Belichick can be, and he is not afraid to move veterans. Uh.

208
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Do you think Stefan Gilmore is going to be on

209
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: the move at some point before season begins or do

210
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: you think this is just contract posturing and they'll get

211
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: something done. I don't think he'll be on the move

212
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: because Belichick loves Stefan Gilmore so much. He made very

213
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: similar noise before last season, and they gave him some

214
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: extra guaranteed money going into the year, which is very

215
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: rare for them to do that, where they didn't give

216
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: him a contract. This thing just like gave him a

217
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: little extra money, which is I can only remember them

218
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: doing at with like Wes Welker. Uh. He speaks so

219
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: fondly of Gilmore, and he tried to Belichick did almost

220
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: cover up that he wasn't there today like there were

221
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: weather issues. So we're not totally sure if everyone's gonna

222
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: get here. And they asked specifically about Gilmore and he

223
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: was kind of putting it off. He almost trying to

224
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: do Gilmore a favor. I can't imagine they're going to

225
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: give him some monster contract extension, so that's problematic. He's

226
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: coming off a quad surgery, which is pretty serious for

227
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: an aging cornerback. But I think he's all in it

228
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: to win it this year, and Belichick is, and that

229
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: they'll come to some sort of agreement, maybe with something

230
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: similar to what they did a year ago, and they're

231
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: not too worried about mini camp, is my guest. Training

232
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: camp is a little different. Yeah, I mean I think

233
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: he you know, Gilmore has a point. He's the twenty

234
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: four highest paid quarterback in the league. He's making about

235
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: seven million based salary. So it's just you know, even

236
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: his camp is probably saying, look at we've got to

237
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: maximize um, your earnings. Your thirty one in September. Uh,

238
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: let's get you as much money as we can. But

239
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: do I think that you're gonna get a multi, massive,

240
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: multi year deal. No. I mean, but but maybe it's

241
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: just what they did last year, because it would be

242
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: a typical of the Patriots this offseason to suddenly start

243
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: shedding star players. If anything, they seem like a team

244
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: totally trying to bounce back and win the a f

245
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: c's it's funny like you mentioned that Greg about you know,

246
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: weather issues, are having some travel Like this is the

247
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: same Bellichick who remember when the bomb cyclone blizzard hit

248
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: New England and it became a big story in Janus,

249
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: like nobody nobody is late for practice, I don't care

250
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: what you have to do. And the guys were so

251
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: scared of Bellichick that they were all like checking into

252
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: local hotels so they could walk to the facility if

253
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: they had to. Now Belichick's like, oh, you know, it

254
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: is a summer, storms and things of that nature deal, right,

255
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: It's all about the player, because in that case he

256
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: was using that specific example. I remember well in the

257
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: snow too to make an example of a DAILI as Thomas,

258
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: who was on his radar from the moment that he

259
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: signed with New England and that was like one of

260
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: the last OZ And I think he loves Gilmore and

261
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: Gilmore wasn't quite as good last year when he was

262
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: healthy and then he had a pretty serious injury. So

263
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: he's he's a little bit of a question mark in general.

264
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: But I just can't imagine they would they would trade

265
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: him because you're not going to get like another good

266
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: veteran in return. The only draft picks would would be

267
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: what people would send for him. In two thousand nine,

268
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: linebacker Dahlias Thomas told ESPN he showed up nine minutes

269
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: late for a team mating after snowfall nearly caused him

270
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: to get into an accident on the way to the facility.

271
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: Belichick sent him home. You guys like shaking up. He

272
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: almost comes killed trying to get big football practice and

273
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: he gets sent back in the car. It's funny because

274
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: they're kind of similar. There two of, if not the

275
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: two biggest free agent contracts the Patriots have ever signed,

276
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: and Dahlias Thomas was a total bust and Gilmore, who, yes, okay,

277
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: he's twenty four in bass salary this year. But that

278
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: stuff is always a little misleading because when he signed

279
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: the contract, it was, you know, it blew the oars

280
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: off for cornerback contracts, and everyone was like, I can't

281
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: believe they're signing someone to the number one cornerback contract

282
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: in the league. It's just since then it's been totally passed.

283
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: He's gotten that signing bonus money and that's why, you know,

284
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: just sprinkle him a little money, Belgic. Stop sweating the

285
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: small stuff. You're out, you're on your boat and you

286
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: know this, Yeah, it doesn't sound like that's what I'm saying.

287
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: Sprinkle him a few million and hopefully this will this

288
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,359
Speaker 1: will go away. By the way, over at the piers

289
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: at the marina Marina Marina del Rey, uh Snoop has

290
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: a boat out there, a big purple yacht. And there

291
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: was another one, a really obscenely large yacht um called

292
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: the Hotel California. And the you know how with the

293
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: boat on the back it's the name of the boat,

294
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: and then where it's from, and it was Winslow, Arizona,

295
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: which is you know famous line from Take It Easy

296
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: by the Eagles. I figured that, as Don Henley noted

297
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: Dick of rock and Roll, um with an obscene ugly

298
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: yacht parted rain adel Rey. These just things you noticed

299
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: when you're ound on. Well, was anyone embarrassing on that boat?

300
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: By the way, did anyone on our boat? On our

301
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: on our boat, everyone was I wouldn't say good behavior,

302
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: but everybody was able to uh comport themselves with dignity.

303
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: I saw one woman on a neighboring yacht, um and

304
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: we were on a yacht. We were on like a

305
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: little party pontoon basically, but a woman being she was

306
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: completely passed out and she was on the top level

307
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: of this like multimillion dollar yacht and they had to

308
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: carry her body and she was a large woman, had

309
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: to carry her body straight down, Uh, like some like

310
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: a ladder to get her down to the main level

311
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: of the boat so they could get her off the boat.

312
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: And I guess get her into an ambulance. I hope

313
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: she's that's like an alcohol poisoning scenario that son I

314
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: will get you. Um. And also speaking of the since

315
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: we're in the Patriots realm, Greg and you mentioned bus,

316
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: did you see this report from the Boston Herald that

317
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: nikkil Harry And maybe that's just an observation and don't

318
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: put too much into it. Could be fighting for a

319
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: roster spot this summer. This is a first round pick

320
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, Greg, and I went and checked out

321
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: your projected Starters series. You don't have Harry listed as

322
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: a starter of Patriots. Obviously made some big signings across

323
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: the board on offense. Uh. Do you would that be

324
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: stunning to that if Harry got cut third year of

325
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: his career as a first round pick, did I have

326
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: a note that he's not a lock to make the team.

327
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: I don't. You didn't. I went to check specifically see

328
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: if you would addressed it. That's why I wanted to.

329
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: He looks like, yeah, I should. He looks like the

330
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: fourth receiver. But then if you're like the fourth receiver

331
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: and you don't play special teams and he has been

332
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: a stiff, you could very well see them do one

333
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: of these fake face saving trades August twenty where they

334
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: trade him for a conditional seventh, which is like, the

335
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: condition is nikkil Harry is no longer nikkil Harry after

336
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: we trade him, which you know they don't get anything

337
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: for him that it wouldn't shock me. He's he's not

338
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: looked good. It's not like it's rough that that that

339
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: would be rough. He was taking four picks before Deebo

340
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: Samuel nineteen before A. J. Brown, And then out of

341
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: curiosity is like, who else in that first round is

342
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: no longer with their team? And there two interesting cases.

343
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: You had one quarterback of course, Dwayne Haskins, and then

344
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: Giant safety DeAndre Baker, who had major legally well, that's

345
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: usually the earliest that first round pick ever gets cut

346
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: is training camp of their third year. And that's even

347
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: that's pretty rare. But that's like that, that's like always

348
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: the unless there's something crazy like the two men, the

349
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: two guys you mentioned all the Haskins. I guess that

350
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: was just that was an al Teimer. That's a lot

351
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: of time. Uh. In other news, another Rosenthal favorite, Russell Wilson,

352
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: spoke to the media at the end of O t

353
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: AS late last week and he addressed, you know, all

354
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: the drama that swarmed around him earlier this offseason and

355
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: how in some ways they got blown out of proportion.

356
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: Let's hear what Danger Russ had to say, you know, say,

357
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: I love Seattle, I love playing here. Um, you know,

358
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: I've had I've had a great career here so far. Um.

359
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to play here for my whole career. Obviously. Uh.

360
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: I think there were some you know, unfortunate frustrations after

361
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: the season. Obviously, want to win it all and do

362
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: it all and do everything you can, you know, and

363
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: I think everybody on our team does. We we all

364
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: want to win it and um, you know, I think

365
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: unfortunately got a little uh you know, um, a little

366
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: bit blow blown on proportion, a little bit mm hmm.

367
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: I was race. I don't know, like who who's the

368
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: Unford If you're saying that they they had unfortunate feelings

369
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: and he's including himself and that that would make sense.

370
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a little bit he was saying

371
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: right after the season, there were some frustrations about how

372
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: things ended, first round exit after a twelve and fourth season.

373
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: But you're you know who you are, Russell Wilson. You've

374
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: spent years building yourself up to where you are. Your agent, forget,

375
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: forget all the off the record stuff that they were

376
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: clearly doing. His agent literally went on the record with

377
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter enlisted the more teams that he would be

378
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: traded to, and so they asked Russell Wilson, I don't

379
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: know who it was, but kudos because that was the

380
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: follow up to have about that quote. And he was

381
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: just like, well, I just wanted to, you know, make

382
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: it clear if they were going to trade me, where

383
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: would I want to go. But the Seahawks were like, oh, wait,

384
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: we don't want to trade you. We never brought that up.

385
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: John john Snyder was clear about that. He was on

386
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: the record to this. Yeah, So to try to like

387
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: paint that as like it was blown out of proportion.

388
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: You guy literally was like, I just I just threw

389
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: a piece. But I agree, I agree with you were

390
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: saying he's not he's a little clumsy with how to

391
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: play the game. There are other guys out there that

392
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: can do this in a way that doesn't lead to

393
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: this type of I wouldn't call us a mia Kulpa.

394
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: But walking back certain elements of his offseason strategy, well,

395
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: what about the the anecdotes of him storming out of

396
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: meeting rooms and you know, being so upset with the offense.

397
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think when he was at the Super

398
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: Bowl sitting with Goodell watching Tom Brady, um, you know,

399
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: win it again after going to Tampa Bay and having

400
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: incredible say and pull on a new franchise that started

401
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: him in five other quarterbacks down this road of malcontent

402
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: status and yes, it got it, got it, JUSTI it

403
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: didn't happen for me, didn't get moved. I think they

404
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: addressed his concerns to some degree by trading for a

405
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: couple alignment and adding people and you know, resigning Chris Carson.

406
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: But like had the Bears trade scenario been okayed by

407
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: Seattle and Russell, Wilson wants to finish his career with

408
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Would he have been okay going to Chicago?

409
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: Would he have been okay being traded or just none

410
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: of that happened. So now you're back in front of

411
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: reporters and you have to make good with all this

412
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: um of surge drama that occurred, right, I get. I

413
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: just have some faith in the audience a little bit here.

414
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: It's like we can handle the truth. You don't have to,

415
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: like everyone sees through this stuff anyway. So you know,

416
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans are gonna love you if if you play well.

417
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it is a tricky thing to like go

418
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: back and you know, get them back all on, all

419
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: on your side. But I don't know, just be honest. Um.

420
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: Speaking of malcontents, Levy on Bell UH, currently without a

421
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: job in the NFL. He made some news earlier this

422
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: week by coming after Andy Reid on social media, UM,

423
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: writing I'd never play for Andy Reid again, dot dot dot.

424
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: I'd retire first, uh. And then this had one of

425
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: my favorite headlines of UH the year so far the

426
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: off season. Levyan Bell apologizes for public comment about Kansas

427
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: City Chiefs coach Andy Reid, but does not regret at

428
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: all what I said. That's not really how it works.

429
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: Levian walked it back thusly, I said what I said,

430
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: and I don't regret at all what I said. For

431
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: those who have a personal problem with me because of

432
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: what I said, that's fine. You have your right, just

433
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: understand I also have my right for how I feel

434
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: about my personal problem with dude because of what he

435
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: said to me. Bell, of course, was cut by the

436
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: Jets um in the middle of the season after signing

437
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: a huge deal with New York a couple of years earlier,

438
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: and bombed out there, went to Kansas City, wasn't even

439
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: didn't even play in the n f C title game

440
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, and now is back on the

441
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: on the street. And this is probably not a way

442
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: to hang around in the league going on going public

443
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: with this stuff. But that's what he did. And he's

444
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: an outspoken dude, and he always has been. Who would

445
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: have thought a couple of years ago, Uh, you know,

446
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: you go back to seen which is great season. If

447
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: we said in one, I mean running back careers changed drastically,

448
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: But like Wayne Gollman has a job right now, Taiwan

449
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: Jones is on a roster and Levy on Bell cannot

450
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: find a job and to to waste um the fact

451
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: that I mean the a we're discussing this and it

452
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: was you know, it's a light time for the NFL,

453
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: and it popped up, and so of course we're going

454
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: to but the fact that this is something that was

455
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: I had to ponder in my mind, this stupid scenario

456
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: um going after Andy Reid without clarifying what it was

457
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: Andy Reid said. And then as you said, Dan, a

458
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: totally um, a totally false, absurd, fraudulent, uh semi apology

459
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: that really wasn't one at all. I just I find

460
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: it to be extremely mentally tired. Probably the agent saying, hey, hey, dummy,

461
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: go apologize on Twitter. We're trying to get you a job,

462
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 1: and he couldn't do it. He couldn't successful at all.

463
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: It's a lot of apologies are like, I'm sorry if

464
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: you were offended. This wasn't this wasn't quite that. This

465
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: was just I apologize, but I don't regret what I said,

466
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: which doesn't just doesn't make any sense. Uh. Yeah, It's

467
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: it's that time of year where this was a comment

468
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: as a it was like a response to a comment

469
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: and someone else's Instagram post or whatever. But I think

470
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: the reason why it made news not just because oh wait,

471
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: you know still around, is no one, no player has

472
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: ever disliked Dandy Reid, Like that is the one NFL

473
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: coach that seems to have like a ninety nine point

474
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: nine percent approval rating and that every like the ultimate

475
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: players coach. So when when you talk on Andy Reid,

476
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: I think then that got people's attention. And it's funny

477
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: when when he was talking his way out of New

478
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: York and he was burying Adam Gates, everyone was kind

479
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: of siding with Bell because everyone knows Adam Gaze was

480
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: in over his head and really bad at communicating. And

481
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: I remember thinking to myself, I was like, I think

482
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: this one's getting like a little mixed up because I

483
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: think Adam Gaze is awful as a head coach and

484
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: a communicator, but I also think that Live Bell is

485
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: a bit of a knucklehead. And and now he's doing

486
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: it again at at this latest stop, you said it,

487
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: You said it, Mark. At two thousand seventeen, you could

488
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: say Levian Bell and tied Gurley with the two best

489
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: running backs of football, and neither of them have a

490
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: job here in June two Thoe, both still in their twenties. Alright,

491
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: the post the post stealers Levian Bell and Antonio Brown

492
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: experience has made not just Mike Tomlin looked better for

493
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: keeping the train on the tracks for as long as

494
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: he did, but just the decisions to let them go

495
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: better in Hindsey. One last note on this honey Badger,

496
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: he chimed in um on the controversy, or if you

497
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: want to call it that um, He tweeted, these fellas

498
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: blame everybody for their lack of success. That's how I

499
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: know I'm built different. That that cuts the fellow star,

500
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: Uh tyrone Matthew. All right, here we go. Moving on.

501
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, the former number one overall pick entering a

502
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: very pivotal third season in the NFL with the Cardinals.

503
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: And this feels a little trophy a running quarterback sharing

504
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: his feelings in the off season about wanting to run

505
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: a little bit less. Let's listen in to Kyler Murray. Honestly,

506
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: the way I see it is, uh, you know, my

507
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: legs should be a luxury um and and it kind

508
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: of it kind of wasn't like that last year. It

509
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: was kind of me, um having to run for us

510
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: and souf or in a sense, and um, you know

511
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: once once, you know, I was you know, my shoulder

512
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: was named up or whatever, and I was, you know,

513
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to put myself out there and take

514
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: those hits and stuff like that. We kind of we

515
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: kind of took a law and you know, hit a

516
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: law and you know, honestly, I think it was good

517
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: for us. You know, I think it was a lesson

518
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: for us that, um, you know, we we can't be

519
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: one dimensional. We just gotta be better in all all areas,

520
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: all aspects of the game. Mark we were socially distanced

521
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: in my old garage. Uh, last late last season, it

522
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: was a Thursday night game, I want to say, maybe

523
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: late November when he injured that shoulder, and that maybe

524
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: gets slept on a little bit of their their season

525
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: and he was never the same after that. Maybe he's

526
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: he's thinking, I need to avoid that type of injury

527
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: happening in there in the future. But at the same time,

528
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: like this is what makes them special, right it is.

529
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean it totally, It totally neutralized their offense. You know,

530
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: they scored after that game nine fewer points per game. Uh,

531
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: And it was an offense that I found frustrating to

532
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: watch to begin with, especially in the red zone. And

533
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: we've talked Cliff Kingsbury, but when you took away his

534
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: running element, because you know, they tried, he played hurt.

535
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: Give him credit for that, but he wasn't able to

536
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: just take off and run the same way they were,

537
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: not that they just were not. They were easily kind

538
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: of suppressed on offense, and that they fell apart they

539
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: were six and three. I mean that that Hail Mary

540
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: game against the Bills feels like a million years ago

541
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: because the way that season ended. So I hear what

542
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: he's saying, just because in terms of like career longevity,

543
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean, no one had more rushing yards outside of

544
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson than him on the ground from the quarterback position.

545
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: But if you do take that away, what's special about

546
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: their offense? From from looking at them today, I just

547
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: don't see something special at all. Yeah, I'm glad I

548
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: heard the quotes with him saying it because I think

549
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: he's talking about his own improvement too. I mean I

550
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: think he's talking about I don't I don't want to

551
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: rely on that either. And we had to he was

552
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: on pace to break Lamar Jackson's rushing record before that injury.

553
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, Okay, players are just better now

554
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: in terms of athleticism than they used to be. But

555
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: to me, he's there with Lamar and Michael Vick as

556
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: the three best running quarterbacks ever. Just in terms of

557
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: just purely good at running, he is an unreal I mean,

558
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: he still put over eight hundred yards. He made guys

559
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: missed and and I think that was part of the

560
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: excitement early in the season was he was just making

561
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: stuff up. But they did not have a lot of

562
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: plays within the structure of the offense. And I think

563
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: the other NFC West teams, which you know, have some

564
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: big defenses, the Rams and the forty nine, they seem

565
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: to have a pretty good beat on what Kyler Murray

566
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: wanted to do and knew how to stop it. Transaction Wire,

567
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins signed linebacker Jerome Baker toly three year, thirty

568
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: nine million dollar contract extension. That is the same Jerome

569
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: Baker coming up back to back century mark tackle season's

570
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: career high seven sacks. Good for you, young men, get

571
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: Shaw dollar, Jamison crowd are gonna have less dollars in

572
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: his pocket uh this season after rap sheet reported that

573
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: the Jets renegotiate had their deal with the wide receiver. UM.

574
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: I heard from a little Bertie basically got his salary

575
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: slashed in half. UM. So he's probably gonna make it

576
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: in the area of five million on a one year

577
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: deal and still not out of the question that he

578
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: gets traded um before Week one. And finally, Nick Mullens,

579
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: the former forty Niners quarterback, has signed with the Eagles.

580
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: A bit of an interesting landing spot because, of course

581
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: your favorite Mark Stone age pony, Joe Flacco is they

582
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: are already backing up Jalen Hurts. Um. You wonder if

583
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: Mollens is a camp farm or a legitimate option for them. Mullins, Like,

584
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: I get that he's, you know, not maybe a starter,

585
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: but Mullins did some good things in San Francisco. I

586
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: kind of wondered if maybe, you know, with the Niners

587
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: link in New York, that maybe the Jets would have

588
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: gone after, um, someone like Mullins. They've got James Morgan.

589
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: It's a little telling, to be honest with you. Why

590
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: the like I wouldn't want anything to do with it

591
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: there crazy? I mean, remember they always show those stats

592
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: of like the best yards per attempt in the first

593
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, a thousand throws of his career, and it's

594
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: like Nick Mullins is there with Dan Marino, and I

595
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: think he's a great example of like if you're a

596
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: football fan or you're not like plugged in seven on

597
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: the team, you looked at some of his games and

598
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: his numbers are like, oh, Nick Mollins is good. And

599
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: then the forty Niners couldn't wait to get rid of him,

600
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: and then he sits on the market for all this

601
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: time before getting Yeah, he's coming off an injury, so

602
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: that that's partly why I think he took so long

603
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: to get signed. I don't even know if he's healthy.

604
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: He has come back from an elbow that is true,

605
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: John or anything, but it was an elbow injury. They

606
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: of these three signings, the Baker one, it was such

607
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: huge money. It just got me thinking how the Dolphins

608
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: are very unpredictable team. And one of the reasons I

609
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: think they're unpredictable is I don't know if, like any

610
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: team disagrees with PF more than the Dolphins. PFF has

611
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: a pretty large influence I think in the way that

612
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: the media, including myself and others talk about players and

613
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,239
Speaker 1: a lot of times at these positions when it's like,

614
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: but I don't really have that how to Jerome Baker take,

615
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, you head over to PF and PFS you know,

616
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: buried him as one of the worst players. And the

617
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins also have made these moves where they've cut or

618
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: traded players who are very highly graded at PF. They

619
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: seem to love their young offensive line with PF hates.

620
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't know like what this all means in the

621
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: long run, but it's like they just gave a guy

622
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: who PF things is one of the worst linebackers in

623
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: the league, like massive money. So we'll see who's right,

624
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: Miami or PFF. The war is on. Well, I mean,

625
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: if you like what Brian Flores said about him, like

626
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: Brian Flores loves him, and they've got Jail and Phillips

627
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: and you know this guy can rush the passer, he's

628
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: good in coverage. They also though, like, which is rare

629
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: for a linebacker, do you resign a manual log? But

630
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean that's someone out there. And also Mike is

631
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: SICKI who I think is like definitely someone to hold

632
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: onto is in the final years contract. They're gonna have

633
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: to start paying players soon. It's interesting with Crowder and

634
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: the Jets last season when the season opened and it

635
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: was a forgettable season on so many levels. But do

636
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: you know Chris Hogan was their starting wide receiver. He's

637
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: now in the National Lacrosse League and now flash row.

638
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Jets are loaded a wide receiver

639
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, but all of a sudden, it's

640
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: like it's gotten to the point where Jamison Crowder, especially

641
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: with the emergence of Elijah Moore, who people are going

642
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: nuts about and every right of about the Jets having

643
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: an amazing initial camp with the team, that Crowder doesn't

644
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: really have a spot. He was there clear cut number

645
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: one last year. Um, we'll see how that old sorts out. Well.

646
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: I I would like to say they should keep them. Yeah,

647
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: I think I think smart teams need like four or

648
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: five options now in the passing game, and the Jets

649
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: are one of those teams that has it. It's awesome.

650
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: And shout out to Chris Hogan, by the way, we

651
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: were there while he was making some catches in the

652
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the Super Bowl comeback against the Falcons,

653
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan, a little bit of a forgotten player in

654
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: that game, made some pretty big plays in that game. Chris,

655
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: I actually lost a sandwich bet because I think I

656
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: had a sandwich bet something along the lines that that

657
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: he'd have a hundred and twenty yards receiving. Didn't go

658
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: that high, but I know he had at least four

659
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: or five catches in some big place. I I because

660
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: I blocked out a lot of that Super Bowl second half.

661
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: But I do remember more with the Miami Dolphins as

662
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent, Chris Hogan seven eleven, always open.

663
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: He was one of those the great underdog stories of

664
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks about seven or eight years ago. Greg, I

665
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: want to check in here. You know we're this on

666
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: this podcast. We're tracking that Denver Broncos quarterback room very close.

667
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm not putting them in the show anymore. Let's stop

668
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: this please. And you had pointed out no, I think

669
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: it's only fair. It's only fair, Greg, because when you

670
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: wanted to surface von Miller uh quotes when he was

671
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: apparently giving a little nod to Teddy Bridgewater as the

672
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: guy he wants to be the quarterback. I must just

673
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: let you know that Bond's going ball ways on this one. Okay,

674
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: So they're asking him, uh, they're asking him about Aaron Rodgers,

675
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: and Vaughan said, listen, I gotta ignore all that stuff.

676
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: You know, why hold on, wait a minute. He said,

677
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 1: We've got Drew lock That's who we're running with. That's

678
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: who we're going into the season with until anything changes. Greg.

679
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: That is a shot across your bow directly. Well maybe

680
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 1: he maybe he's a leader on the team that heard.

681
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: You know, Locke wasn't too happy about these other conversation,

682
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, so now he's just trying to make up

683
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: for it. You know, I don't know, people have talked.

684
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 1: I think that one shook Greg up a little bit. Mark, Yeah,

685
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: I don't, but I Menakis pointed out to me just

686
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: you know recently, Teddy seventeenth in QBR last year, thirteenth

687
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 1: in completion percentage over expected. Hey, the stats are the stats.

688
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: The stats don't lie, you know, they don't. That's never lie.

689
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: That's true. They're having a tough time though. The receiver's

690
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: dealing with both quarterbacks because people are saying that Drew

691
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: Locks passes and I'm not saying the guy is Mr Accuracy,

692
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: but Uh, that they come in fast, hard, but that

693
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: Teddy's balls, like Teddy's throat football throws are like these looping,

694
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: more looping arrangements where it's tougher to they don't come

695
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: to you as quickly and so it's you can't they're not.

696
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: Both quarterbacks are very different. Which one would you rather have?

697
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the catchable ball and we've seen those

698
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: Drew Locket rocket bats firing into the shideline since since college.

699
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 1: I want that like Chad Pennington after his third shoulder surgery,

700
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: looper comeback player of the year. He made it work.

701
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: Uh was awesome. He was awesome. By the way, since

702
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: it's the total offseason depth right now, I do have

703
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: a Chad Pennington take. I think I think he's pretty.

704
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: He's now like used this some sometimes as a as

705
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: a not a punch line, but it's like, oh yeah,

706
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: this guy who was nice, he like overcame like shoulder

707
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: and your people do. I don't think I understand what

708
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: a baller Chad Bennington was. He is historically underrated, like

709
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: he had incredible quarterback skills and if he had a

710
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: better situation app points like he would have won even

711
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: more games. He was a great player, That's all I'm saying.

712
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: I think what he really got danged for more was

713
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: he was in the Tom Brady draft and he was

714
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: a first round pick. So everyone says, oh, the Jets

715
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: they below it Tom Brady one and eight seven picks later.

716
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, especially before he got hurt. One of the

717
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: better Jet seasons of the last twenty years is when

718
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: Pennington replaced an aging Viney test of Verdi and the

719
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: Jets won the division in a playoff game in two

720
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: thousand two. He was a legit badass. Hurt his shoulder.

721
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: His next level like the throws he could make an

722
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: attempt because of his accuracy. He is one of the

723
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: best throwing like quarterbacks of all time in terms of

724
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: putting it where he wanted to right and great with

725
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: the play action. He really was. He was the best

726
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: Jets quarterback in my lifetime until this kid, you know,

727
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: the Chipotle kid, came along. Zack Wilson is now he's

728
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: already superseded, I like to think. So that's the way

729
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be positive about this. Finally, in the news,

730
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: I did a little search of this just so I

731
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: had the article in front of me and It came

732
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: up the Spanish language version for ESPN dot com, and

733
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: I just thought the headline was funny. So here it

734
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: is Dallas Cowboys. Then Ezekiel Elliott in la major forma

735
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: de su vida, which means sound the trouple art Graver

736
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: triplet triplet that means Dallas Cowboys. On Zeke Elliott, he's

737
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: in the best shape of his life. Art oh boy,

738
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: cess was ready for vacation. No, no, no, I mean

739
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: it's I actually like I went back and looked at

740
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: a couple other off seasons and there were there were

741
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: similar headlines in like Cowboys running back Zeke Elliott is

742
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: still in Cabo, reportedly in great shape. Ezekiel Elliott's weight

743
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: is at the lowest it's been since his rookie year.

744
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: I will say this, if there's one thing, like one

745
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 1: of the first conversations I had about football with West

746
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: was about running backs, and he really am I think

747
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: bought into when you found a running back hit the

748
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: scene in August in like truly great shape. Uh. Then

749
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: they started to run really hard in the preseason. It

750
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: was predictive of a big year. I mean, Elliott, if anything,

751
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: played behind an offensive line last year that was an

752
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: absolute injury wrangled mess. They had three the three best

753
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: lineman Zack Martin, Tyrone Smith and Lall Collins played a

754
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: combined six hundred snaps six eighteen snaps, a hundred and

755
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: fifty four and zero. I mean they just didn't they

756
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: were They were a hot mess. So would Elliott in

757
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: good shape be better? Maybe? Is it a trope? It's

758
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: a huge trope. Well, it should be stated that his

759
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: backup ran really well last year and looked better than Zeke,

760
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: and he did he had a hundred attempts. I mean,

761
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: do you that I like Pollard a lot, but did

762
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: you is Pollard suddenly like I'm not saying Elliot, I'm

763
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: just saying it's not like that line. I mean, if

764
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: Pollard was bombing out as well, I just think Zeke

765
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 1: Elliot probably maybe? Yeah. Was it the same guy physically

766
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: last year? Maybe? And now he's realizing that this is

767
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: his money's involved here because if he's in trouble it

768
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: Covid missed a lot of work, like he um, he

769
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: is someone he's a trope being in the best shape

770
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 1: of his life personally, like this has happened three times.

771
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: He does you know for what it's worth you know.

772
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: I think it's tough to put this on players too often,

773
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: but I having gone to ox Nard very often, like

774
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: on the first day of their training camp or a

775
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: couple of times. This story is always either Ezekiel Elliott

776
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: is totally out of shape and winded, or Ezekiel Elli

777
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: is an amazing shape. And it seems to go every

778
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: other year, like you know, and that just seems to

779
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: be where he's been as a as a player. And

780
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: often when they have when he has shown up and

781
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: people are all excited about it, he does play awesome

782
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: that year. And when he shows up in the you know,

783
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: out of shape, you other than that's what happens. I

784
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: would if I was you know, and I will have

785
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 1: Fantasy draft Um like millions of other people later this summer.

786
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: I wonder. I feel like he's a nice bounce back candidate.

787
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: I think so. He was on my team last year

788
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: and I had I shipped him um in a multiplayer

789
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: trade to Handsome Hank's son in about week eight. I'm like,

790
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm getting off. This is Ukulele at thing. He was smart,

791
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: highly frustrating, well done, Mark Well taking advantage of a

792
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: young young child. No, he was not a young child.

793
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: He was making more. Henry's son was making more transactions

794
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: than anyone in the league by two. Um, but my

795
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: team cats are overrated. Was not swayed by that. I've

796
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: concocted a deal with him and we made the playoffs. Plus,

797
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: he's my size of Henry's sons, even like the five

798
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: year old is bigger than me. The five year old

799
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 1: is larger than his five year old is giant. It's

800
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: going to be interesting. He I think he's going to

801
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: be a professional wrestler. I'm pretty sure of it. Something

802
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: scientific is going on with that that third child, he's

803
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: far too large for his age. Well, it's Alphie right,

804
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: healthy young. I mean, Henry will admit it to Henry

805
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: will admit there's something. He said it. There's something. I

806
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: don't know what the word would be. Something, let's just

807
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 1: say special. There's something special going on. It's special. It's wonderful. Yeah,

808
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: he could be one of those pro athletes like a

809
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, like six seven to seventy five al muscle.

810
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: Like maybe he's just that's his r Henry is six

811
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: four or whatever. The framework is there, Yeah, are he

812
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: was there on Saturday. Check money it was quite a

813
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: like that was outrageous when I heard that guest check

814
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: Back on the scene. That's how they're mostly known as

815
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: around the NFL guests. But yeah, it's like that. It

816
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: was It was quite a It was nice to see

817
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: how these people I haven't seen in a year plus

818
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: in the flesh. If you know how things work here

819
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, um, certain people that live in like

820
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: certain like if you live in the valley like check does,

821
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: he will never come to the West side of Los

822
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: Angeles or it's surround territories unless something deadly serious is

823
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: going on. So for him to go all the way

824
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: to where uh, Colleen and Gonzo lit they moved to

825
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: that So yeah, that's that's that's a long term. That

826
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: was a show. That was a show of respect, that

827
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: was a kiss of the ring of Connie. Ultimately, absolutely

828
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: there you go. Anything else to add here? Now, you know,

829
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: things are pretty slow in the sports world. Where the

830
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: the top headline right now on ESPN dot com source

831
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: Colin Crowder takes pay cut to stay with Jets. That's

832
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: the number one headline in sports. Now, we're probably jinxing

833
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: it and we're gonna have to do an emergency podcast

834
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: in ninety eight minutes. But that's where things are. But

835
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: we got you caught up today. You know what's going

836
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: on around the NFL after the last forty four minutes,

837
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: We've done our job. I feel like I'm taking a

838
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: pay cut at our at our company to keep doing this.

839
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: I literally did take a pay cut during Corona, and

840
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: there's been no there's been no like, hey, let's circle

841
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: back and correct that. It's like, you'll be fine. By

842
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: the way. We also took water out of the break

Speaker 1: powers debate to get that those wages back. I just did.
