1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Oh, what is going on. Happy Wednesday morning to you. 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: I hope everything is going great for you. Okay, So 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: why doesn't the NBA handle trade requests like the NFL does. 4 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: A trade request in the NFL is mostly met with yeah, no, 5 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: we're not trading you. A trade request in the NBA 6 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: is often met with Okay, no problem, we'll get YadA here. 7 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: For the most part, that's how it goes. This trade 8 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: request from Micah Parsons, star pass rusher from the Dallas Cowboys, 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: he had this long post on X and went into 10 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: great detail of Hey, you know, my dad and I 11 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: grew up Cowboy fans. Unfortunately I don't want to be 12 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: here any longer. YadA YadA. Went into great detail, and 13 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: some of it makes a lot of sense where Jerry 14 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: Jones has made some statements publicly where it's just it's 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: just a stupid way to approach things when he's talking about, 16 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: you know, hey, Michael Parsons, he missed six games last season, 17 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: which wasn't even true. He missed four games last season, 18 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: and Mikeah took exception to that. So Jerry Jones has 19 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: done a terrible job handling this situation. And so I 20 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: can completely understand how a lot of it would rub 21 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons the wrong way. I think it's recency biased 22 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: more than anything. I can understand you. You're ticked off, 23 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: you're not getting your money, get me out of here. 24 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: Some of that might be real. I think most of 25 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: it is just a negotiating tactic. That's your leverage. That's 26 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: what you're trying to do to get a deal done, 27 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: try to get it going. But the point, the first 28 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: part of this is the NFL oftentimes, so many times 29 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: a trade request has happened from the player and it's 30 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: met with this. Here's Jerry Jones. 31 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: Jerry, are you considering trading Michael Parsons. 32 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: I'm not, No, not not really no, not thinking about that. 33 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: They're a little more from Jerry Jones. 34 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 3: Don't lose in sleepover. So just to be one thing 35 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 3: I would say to our fan, don't lose in sleepover. 36 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: Okay, so as far as the negotiation goes, you know, 37 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: don't lose any sleep He's basically saying, don't don't freak 38 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: out like Michael Parsons is going somewhere else, like, just 39 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: don't lose any sleep over there. So again not taking 40 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: it seriously. Here's the head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, his thoughts on, uh, 41 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: does he expect Michael Parsons to be there? 42 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 4: I expect Michael to be here. 43 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: Okay, expects Michael to be even though he made this 44 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: trade request and went into great detail. Unfortunately, I don't 45 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: want to be here any longer, not buying any of it. 46 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: Then he's also detailing where he expects Mike gonna line 47 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: up this next season. 48 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 5: We're still planning on moving Mike around and putting him 49 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 5: in all the spots that we see him and using 50 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 5: our fronts the way we want to see it. 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: So like there's no teeth to this trade request at all. 52 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: Has absolutely no teeth to it at all. And and 53 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are not freaking out like, oh, we better 54 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: get this deal done. We're not gonna have Micah Parsons. 55 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, settled down, everything's fine, don't lose any sleep. 56 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: We're not thinking of trading him. And shot He's like, actually, 57 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking about where I'm gonna line him 58 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: up this next season. We'll have him a little bit 59 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: at you know, a linebacker, We'll have him at rush, 60 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: and well, you don't move him around a little bit here, 61 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: he's game planning with Micah like the furthest thing from 62 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: his mind is Micah not being there. And so that 63 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: to me is it's a huge difference between the way 64 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: the NFL handles these things and the way the NBA does. 65 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: I don't know why more NBA teams don't do what 66 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: NFL teams do. A star NBA player is like, I 67 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: want to be traded. Why don't more teams just say no, oh, 68 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: we're not trading you, Like you're too valuable to us. 69 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: We're not gonna get equal value, So no, that's not 70 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: on the table. Why don't they just say no? Now, 71 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: there have been times where star players will force their 72 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: way out, you know, and NBA teams buckle. I just 73 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: don't think NFL teams would buckle the same way that 74 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: NBA teams do. We've had stories where, you know, fat 75 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: James Harden, he was with Houston at the time, wanted 76 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: out and he was gaining all this weight and wasn't 77 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: even trying when he was out there on the court, 78 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: clearly forcing the rocket's hand, and they eventually buckled and 79 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: moved him. There was a Jimmy Butler has done this 80 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: a couple of times in Minnesota, most recently with Miami Heat. 81 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: We're just forcing his way out. He's getting kicked out 82 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: of practice, He's forcing his way out. It's going to happen, 83 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: and the organization just buckles and does it. I'm surprise, 84 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't look at the two leagues as completely 85 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: polar opposites. I don't like, I don't know why a 86 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 1: team in the NBA wouldn't try to do this and 87 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: just say, hey, you know, we're not moving him. The 88 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys haven't even said, well, we we appreciate where Mike's 89 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: coming from, we get it. Blah blah blah. They're just like, yeah, no, 90 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: not on the table, not thinking about trading him. And 91 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: there's just no teeth to this. You see Michaeh Parsons 92 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: at practice, still in his number eleven Cowboys Jersey. Nothing 93 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: quite says I'm out of here, like I'm still here. 94 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: That's like saying I'm out of this relationship. We are 95 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: freaking done. And then you like go to the cheesecake 96 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: factory with that person later that night. You know, it's 97 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: not saying you're out of here at all. So he's 98 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. But you see this time and time 99 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: again in the NFL. You've seen it just in the 100 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: last year. Miles Garrett with the Browns. He requested a 101 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: trade and the next thing you know, he got this 102 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: huge new contract and he didn't go anywhere. The team 103 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: was like, no, we're not thinking about moving him. Same 104 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: thing with t Higgins with the Bengals. He requested a 105 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: trade and they gave him the money and he's still 106 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: a Cincinnati Bengal. I think it's gonna happen with all 107 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: three of these guys, Trey Hendrickson with the Bengals, Terry 108 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: McLaurin with the Commanders, and Micah Parsons with the Cowboys. 109 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: I think all three of those guys are gonna get 110 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: extensions and are still going to play for their current teams. 111 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: I don't see any of them moving on and going elsewhere. 112 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: And you could argue that, you know, when you think 113 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: of the NBA situations where some players request a trade, 114 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: maybe some of them would be appeased if they got 115 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: this huge new contract extension and they're like, you know what, 116 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: I'll stay, I'm not gonna go elsewhere. Yeah. Maybe, but 117 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: you know, as well as I do the batting average 118 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: right for trade requests from a players, especially stars, it's 119 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: a high batting average, they request a trade, they typically 120 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: get moved, and the NFL these teams are just like, yeah, no, 121 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: not like, listen to Jerry again. 122 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: Jerry, are you considering trading Michaeh. 123 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: Parsons? 124 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 3: I'm not. 125 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: Just come right out and say I'm not even thinking 126 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: about it. 127 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 3: No. 128 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: And now the other part of this is this is 129 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: so clunky from the Cowboys. It's so unnecessary and just 130 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: so dumb. It's like, I feel like I'm losing time 131 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: and energy with this whole thing. And I'm not even 132 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: a Cowboys fan. This whole thing is just obnoxious. They're 133 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: gonna pay Micah, it's gonna be a huge contract, and 134 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna look back and be like, what was all 135 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: that about? What money did you save? What time and 136 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: effort did you gain? Like, where's the gain here? By 137 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: dragging this out and then giving a huge contract extension 138 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: to Micah Parsons. This is so unnecessary. The drama of 139 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: this hole back and forth is so avoidable. And the Cowboys, 140 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: yet again, I don't know if it's just for headlines, 141 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: it's for clicks, it's for attention. They love dragging this 142 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: out and paying more money than they would have to 143 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: had they extended the player earlier. It's so dumb and 144 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: now we get Hey, is Mica going to be ready 145 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: for the first game of the year against the Eagles? 146 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: Listen to this. This was earlier, I think on Tuesday. 147 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: Check this out. 148 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 4: Getty confident he will be on the shiet against again. 149 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. That has to a big part of 150 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 3: that is his decision. How about I know that. 151 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: Okay, we don't know if he's going to be in 152 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: uniform against the Eagles. All right, makes some sense. Now 153 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: this is the part. Listen to this answer. This is 154 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: the clunkiest, most random answer from Jerry Jones. Just listen, 155 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: sit back and enjoy. Does he essentially need to reach 156 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: out to you? 157 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: Again? If y'all are getting in the uh, what's in 158 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 3: the mind and what's in the said? Uh, this is 159 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 3: a good time. He's a subject matter where uh is 160 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 3: what it is? Is what it is and uh uh 161 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 3: we've we'll work through it or we will uh not 162 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: work through it. 163 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 4: Hmm. 164 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: Okay, right, it's a legitimate question like does he need 165 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: to reach out to you? And I don't know Jerry 166 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: just thought that he was asking something else. I guess, 167 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: but yeah, I would expect this to get worked out. 168 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: This is just the scenic route that's totally unnecessary. This 169 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: is the worst scenic route possible, you know what I mean. 170 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: Like if you're just sitting on the four oh five 171 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: in LA and you're like, I just don't want to 172 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: sit in traffic, Let's take the streets and instead of 173 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: taking the scenic route, and you're like, all right, let's 174 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: let's go to pH you know, let's go the long way. 175 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: Or they're like, I'm gonna take the scenic route, and 176 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: it's the worst. It's the worst idea ever. It's the 177 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: worst streets that it doesn't save you any time. The 178 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: stoplights are backed up like crazy. That's basically what the 179 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: cowboys are doing with this whole negotiation. It's the scenic 180 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: route that doesn't help at all. It actually delayed you 181 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: an hour longer on your commute, and it was much 182 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: more tedious, annoying, and just cost you that much more energy. 183 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: That's where they are. That's where they seem to always be. 184 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: But it's another chapter in the book of what should 185 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: have been avoided, but seldomly is. That's the cowboys, man, 186 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: that's how they get down again. They did this with 187 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: CD Lamb, with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Zach Zach Martin, 188 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: Like they just drag it out and then give them 189 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: huge money. And you're like that that was pretty dumb. 190 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: That was dumb right there. And the cowboys are like, yeah, maybe, 191 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: but it's kind of fun, right and we're like, no, 192 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: it's that fun at Oh, it was really stupid. Actually, 193 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 1: what it was eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox? 194 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: Is your phone number? Now, Coop? Do we still have Bill? 195 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: Is he hanging out getting to his Dodger thought? I 196 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: want to get it. 197 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 4: Let me check out. I might have called back, but 198 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 4: I don't think. 199 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: Okay, let me see if Bill is there. Because Bill 200 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: called in to give his Dodger thoughts and we were 201 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: up against it at the end of the hour and 202 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: he just went, you know, with a little karaoke. Okay, 203 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: Bill is gone, no problem. Should we guess is Dodger thoughts? 204 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: Probably not. Probably shouldn't do that. All we do have 205 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: the high the play of the day, we should do 206 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: that because it's Dodger related.

I'll make this a quick and painless all right, 249 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: we'll get to the militia here. But I saw a 250 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: couple of players in the NFL they're gonna be playing 251 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: in the preseason. And one caught my attention in particular. 252 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: That would be JJ McCarthy, Vikings quarterback. He's gonna play 253 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: in the preseason, get a few reps out there, don't 254 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: know how long he'll be on the field, but gonna 255 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: get a little bit of action. And I thought that 256 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: was interesting because he got hurt in the preseason, right, 257 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: That's how he lost his rookie season. Got hurt in 258 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: the preseason game last year. It didn't take a regular 259 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: season snap. So I like that Kevin O'Connell is not like, 260 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: oh no, this could happen again. Definitely, he's not gonna 261 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: touch the field during preseason. I don't know why we 262 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: tend to do this every single year. Look, I have 263 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: no issue actually young players getting on the field and 264 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: getting some reps in the preseason, even some of these 265 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: guys that are vets the Chiefs play mahomes Like for 266 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: anybody who's like, what's the point in preseason reps, it's 267 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: just really gonna make a difference. It's the same song 268 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: and dance every single year. And it's like, if there 269 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: was no value whatsoever, then why would the Chiefs play 270 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: any of their ones? Why they do play their ones? 271 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,479 Speaker 1: They play mahomes. Their ones get action in the preseason, 272 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: and they'll get action again this year, and this year 273 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: is no different. And you could play that game. Why 274 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: don't we just play that game with preseason? Why don't 275 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: we do that for more stuff? For anyone who's like, 276 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: do you really think it's gonna make a big difference 277 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: getting one series with the ones? What's like, okay, well, 278 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: then what's the point of joint practices? What's the point 279 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: of having your ones out there for that? What's the 280 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: point of practice in general? You can get hurt in practice. Right. 281 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: We'll talk about Teddy Bridgewater a little bit later in 282 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: the show. He was he had a tryout for the 283 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay He's probably gonna sign with Tampa, but he 284 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: got his career almost ended because of this hideous injury 285 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: in practice. Nobody talks about right, like, it's just a 286 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: necessary evil. You gotta practice, you gotta get on the field, 287 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: you gotta take live reps, you gotta work on your game. 288 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: And with that comes danger. And for whatever reason, the 289 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: preseason has turned into the equivalent of like juggling steak 290 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: knives and chainsaws while you're on a tight, tight rope 291 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: across the Grand Canyon. That's what it's turned into in 292 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: the minds of so many people. This is an unnecessary risk. 293 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: You are just gambling on your health and the season 294 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: by even going out there. It's just so dumb to me. 295 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: And this is the way it's gonna play out, like 296 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: every single year. Maybe it's a well known player, it's 297 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: a starter. He's gonna get on the field in the 298 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: preseason and he's gonna get hurt. And then most people 299 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: are gonna be like, why was he even out there 300 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: to begin with? 301 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 5: Baby, Baby, And I always say every single time, I'm like, 302 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 5: it's just unfortunate, man, Like this is football. 303 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: Injuries happen. I don't look at it as unnecessary. It 304 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: was stupid for him to even be out there in 305 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: the first place. I just look at it as unfortunate. 306 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, you're getting out there. You're in a 307 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: game like situation. It's the closest thing you're gonna get 308 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: to the regular season as far as live bullets go. 309 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: Get out there in the preseason, get a few reps. 310 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: You're a young player like JJ McCarthy, I'm all for it. 311 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: Therizona Cardinals. They're gonna have some of their ones out there. 312 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray he's gonna play in the preseason for the 313 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: first time in four years. It's four years ago last 314 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: time he played in the preseason. But his coach, Jonathan Gannon, 315 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: He's like, I think it makes a lot of sense 316 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: to get our starters out there, even for limited action. 317 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: And I have no issue with that at all. I 318 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: really don't. I think there's some value. Again, if there 319 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: was no value, Mahomes wouldn't sniff the field. You think 320 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: Mahomes needs reps like Andy Reid does. I mean, if 321 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: Andy Reid thinks there's some value, why would you or 322 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: I say there's no value whatsoever. I think there's some value. 323 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: But I'm for a young quarterback like JJ McCarthy getting 324 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: out there. I think it makes sense. All right, let's 325 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: get out to the militia here. Mike the Leprechaun is 326 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: with us.

I caught the tune what he was going 389 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: with right there. But yeah, you know, I think it 390 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: was more phone quality than anything. Stirring rendition by Mike 391 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: the Leper. Appreciate his contribution, but he did mention your 392 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: Broncos there, Coop, And I mentioned at the top of 393 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: the show that a knockdown, dragout brawl, we're talking verbal 394 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: fisticuffs right here between me and you is just brewing 395 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: because of a tweet I saw the other day and 396 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: I took a screenshot and I sent it to you, 397 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: and it talked about Zach Allen. So he's a defensive 398 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: lineman for the Broncos. Signed a nice contract extension four years, 399 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and two million dollars. Sixty nine point five 400 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: of that is guaranteed. It was sixty nine point five 401 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: million dollars in guaranteed cash. He's a very good defensive lineman. 402 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: And one of the tweets, I can't remember if it 403 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: was Schefter or somebody else, talked about the Broncos signing 404 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: their star defensive end Zach Allen and I sent it 405 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: to Coop and I was like, star, Come on, man, now, 406 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: he's a very good player, don't get me wrong. Not 407 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: a star. You gotta have star like, not just talent production. 408 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: You gotta have star notoriety. He does not have notoriety. 409 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: He does not check the notoriety box, Coop. He is 410 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: not a star. Do you think that Zach Allen is 411 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: a star? 412 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 4: Absolutely? 413 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: Okay, I want to hear this argument. Why is Zach 414 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: Allen a star in your mind? 415 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 4: Isn't all pro It doesn't mean you're a star. Yes, no, 416 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 4: it doesn't. 417 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: You gotta have the notoriety as well. Do you think 418 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: that Zach Allen has the notoriety his star like notoriety? 419 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: He doesn't. He doesn't. 420 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 4: There's He's not a superstar. He's not a. 421 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: Star either, not a star either. Like my guy Zach 422 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: Seeler for the Dolphins. He signed a contract extension this 423 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: week as well, see a star. 424 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 4: How much is the contract extension for? 425 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: Uh? It is not as much as Zach Allen not 426 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: a star because Zach Allen got the market cornered over there. 427 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: But it's a pretty good contract extension. I don't know 428 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 1: the Zach dollars and says, let me try to get 429 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: it for you, the Zach Sealer contract extension. Let's see, 430 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: here we go, here we go. Sorry, and I have 431 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: to see if he's been at least a pro bowler. 432 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: But he's a good player, Okay, So we're talking three 433 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: years worth up to sixty seven million dollars forty four 434 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed. That's over three years, so not that 435 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: far away from what Zach Allen's signed for. And Zach 436 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: Sealer had more sacks last season as a defensive lineman, 437 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: ten sacks compared to your guy, Zach Allen with eight 438 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: and a half. Again, neither is a star. They're both 439 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: very good players, very good productive, not stars. You gotta 440 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: have notoriety. Let me check on Zach Stealer and he 441 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: Pro Bowls and he I'll laugh if he's an All 442 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: Pro noe no Pro Bowls though, don't have that. 443 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 9: Zach Allen joined Nick Bosa, Aaron Donald, JJ Watt, and TJ. 444 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 9: Watt is the only players ever to record forty or 445 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 9: more quarterback hits in a single season. Let all defensive 446 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 9: linemen and snaps played at nine hundred and sixty four 447 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 9: or over one hundred more than the next highest player. 448 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 4: Dude's a star. 449 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: Again. You could like rewind before this conversation even began 450 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: and I could talk to NFL fans like legit NFL 451 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: fans part of the militia calling in. I'm just be like, hey, quick, hey, 452 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: who does Zach Allen play for? And I guarantee you 453 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: most of the people would get that wrong. It's not like, oh, 454 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: Broncos all day, Zach Allen, star stud. A lot of 455 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: people don't even know what. 456 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 4: He plays for us because he's got a generic name. 457 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: It's because he's not a star, is why. Like there 458 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: are other players with generic names, but they're they're true 459 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: stars and you know who they play for. Let me 460 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: get the All Pro list over here. This is a 461 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: terrible argument by Coop my gosh, Zach Allen not a star. 462 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: All Pro twenty twenty four NFL. Okay, I want to 463 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: see the All Pro team. What's it like a cookie 464 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: cutter type name. Let's find out real quick. Josh Allen 465 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: is a pretty common quarterback. 466 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 4: You can't compare. 467 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: I'm just saying as far as just a basic name goes, okay, 468 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: Jack Fox, that's a pretty basic name. He's a punter. 469 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: That's not a great example. 470 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 4: Let's have no idea who that is. 471 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: Oh, come on, you know the Lions punter right there? 472 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 3: You don't know. 473 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: Let's see maybe there's a better example right here. Okay, 474 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: basic name, very basic. Good comparison to Chris Jones. Who 475 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: does Chris Jones play for stud defensive lineman the Chiefs, 476 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: of course, because he's a true star as basic good 477 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 1: name as you can get. It's not because Zach Allen 478 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 1: has a basic name. It's just because people don't know 479 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: who he is. He's pretty, but he's not a standout. 480 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: He doesn't have notoriety. You gotta have that to be 481 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: a true star. You're raging against logic here, kop is 482 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: what's happening? You know, Like Aaron Donald is a good example. 483 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald common name, right, He had talent, production, notoriety. 484 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: He checked every box. He was a true superstar. He 485 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: was one of the best defensive lineman ever. And I'm 486 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: not saying Zach Allen's got to be on that level, 487 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: but he's just he's one of the other non Patrick 488 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: Certan guys on that Broncos defense. In terms of notoriety, 489 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: that's the level he's at not Zach Allen hate does 490 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: Zach Allen reality over here? That's all. That's all. Not 491 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: trying to sell him short. But I think that's where 492 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: we're at. 493 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 4: What sounds like you're trying to sell him short. 494 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm not. We got into this with your boy, Nick Bonito. Nick, 495 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: Butnita is a very good player. Productive. What do you 496 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,479 Speaker 1: have double digit sacks last season? It's a really good player. 497 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: He's not a star. 498 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 4: He's gonna be a star. 499 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: He might be. He very well could be. Coop. I 500 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: agree with you, he's on his way to being a star. 501 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: But I think you gotta have notoriety. You can't just 502 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: be this productive player, even you could be a pro bowler. 503 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: I don't think that makes it stop. 504 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 9: But see, like you're it's kind of like splitting hairs 505 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 9: because in the Denver like you know, football, the Denver 506 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 9: sports scene, he's a star. Anybody in Denver is gonna 507 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 9: know who it is. And so you're seeing an article 508 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 9: or a tweet that's saying, you know, the Broncos extend 509 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 9: their star defensive and yes, he's the star of the 510 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 9: you know, he's one of the stars on the defensive line. 511 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 9: By the way, if you go into the crowd at 512 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 9: whatever they're calling it now in power field, right, he's 513 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 9: gonna be one of the top names that you see 514 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 9: on fans backs. 515 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: Okay, so I just did a quick search over here. 516 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: Not only is Zach Allen not an All Pro, he's 517 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: not even a pro bowler.

What are we doing? 519 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 4: He is an All Pro? 520 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: When where last year he was not? 521 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 4: Yes, he was second team All Pro. 522 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: There's nothing here, got nothing for Zach Allen. Zach Allen 523 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: not a pro bowler. Let's see, Yeah, not selected to 524 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. How are you not selected to?

It's it's such a joke, like he wasn't 545 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: even named that way. Zach Allen still hasn't made the 546 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, even though like everybody gets that distinction as 547 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: an alternate.

It's 595 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: a divisional game. I could see that happening. 596 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it couldn't be a surprise, but it'll be enough shick. 597 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're right about that.

Very cool. Yeah, I will 613 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: say real fast on the Raiders because I do like 614 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: that from Geno Smith. Now, I don't expect the Raiders 615 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: to have a great season. I don't expect the Raiders 616 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: to be better than your Broncos this season, just full 617 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: disclosure coup. But I do love that Geno Smith was like, yeah, 618 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 1: keep sleeping on us. You know, we can sneak up 619 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: on teams that way. I love that because you know 620 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: how it goes these days, everybody's like they're not giving 621 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: us our respect. They're not We're better, And I love 622 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: that Gino just went the other direction. He's like, yeah, 623 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: keep sleeping on us, keep doing that. We'll use that 624 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: to our advantage. I like that from him. I don't 625 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: think it's gonna matter. I don't think it's gonna you know, 626 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: produce a bunch of wins. But I like that approach 627 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: from Geno Smith. Likable dude. So a couple of quarterbacks, 628 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: let me let me say this real fast, because it's 629 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: kind of like a no name quarterback that unfortunately Teddy 630 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 1: Bridgewater is he's a no name quarterback now he's been 631 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: a journeyman. He visited Tampa. He's expected to sign with 632 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, and this would be his eighth NFL team, 633 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: And there's this tweet from Adam Schefter, Hey put, this 634 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: is his third NFC South team to go along with 635 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: the Saints and the Panthers. Like, assuming that Teddy Bridgewater 636 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: does signed with Tampa, and I just thought about the 637 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 1: first things. First, really unfortunate. Teddy Bridgewater suffered a big 638 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: time injury when he was still in Minnesota that really 639 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: impacted his career for sure. But you look at the 640 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: way his career has played out, it could have easily 641 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: been the way Baker Mayfield's career played out. And now 642 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,399 Speaker 1: you look at Baker like his career has been revived 643 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: in Tampa. If you just look at their two paths, okay, 644 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: and I think it'll if you hang with me for 645 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, I think you'd be like, Wow, 646 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: that's pretty crazy if you think about it. If you 647 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: look at Teddy Bridgewater, so he's in Minnesota, suffers this 648 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: horrible injury in practice, it took a couple of years 649 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: to get back. So he's in Minnesota for a couple 650 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: of years. Then he starts going from team to team 651 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: to team to team. He was with the Saints for 652 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: two years, then the Panthers for a year, your Broncos 653 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: coop for a year, My Dolphins for a year. That's 654 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: kind of funny. Who went to both of our teams, 655 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: and then it was with the Lions for two years. 656 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 1: So he's a journeyman, right. If you look at Baker 657 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: Mayfield's career, that's exactly what he was on the fast 658 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: pass lane toward. He was about to be a journeyman. 659 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: So if you look at Baker his first four years, 660 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: he was in Cleveland and then he was out of there, 661 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 1: fizzled out toward the end. He started six games for 662 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: the Panthers and four games for the Rams in twenty 663 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 1: twenty two. It was a horrible season, played for two 664 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: bad teams. He struggled. His value was even lower. And 665 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 1: then Tom Brady retired after the twenty twenty two season, 666 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 1: and that's when Baker Mayfield signed with Tampa. He signed 667 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,760 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. Get this a one year deal 668 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: for four million dollars. That's what Baker Mayfield initially signed 669 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: for with Tampa, and so they're just taking a flyer 670 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: on the guy. They're like, all right, warm body, Baker Mayfield. 671 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: He was a number one pick overall for a reason. 672 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: I guess maybe what are our other options? Let's just 673 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: give it a try. Kick the tires on him. He 674 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: played great in twenty twenty three. This is wild too. 675 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: That twenty twenty three season in the playoffs, Tampa crushed Philly. 676 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: They won thirty two to nine. That was the year 677 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: before this past season when the Eagles won everything. Tampa 678 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: crushed him thirty two to nine, and they played the 679 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: Lions tough on the road in the playoffs. They came 680 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: up short. Baker threw a costly interception at the end 681 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: of that game, but still a very successful twenty twenty 682 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: three season. Signed a three year extension one hundred million 683 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: dollars with Tampa. They played great last season also, and 684 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: what do you know, his career has been revived. So 685 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,959 Speaker 1: if you look at Teddy Bridgewater, he was with Carol 686 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, Baker Mayfield was in Carolina in twenty 687 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: twenty two. And I'm telling you the way Bridgewater turned 688 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: into a journeyman, that's exactly what Baker Mayfield's career was 689 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: headed toward. And then he went to Tampa to really 690 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: productive seasons, and now you look at Baker and you're like, 691 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 1: he's a top ten quarterback in terms of production. He's there, 692 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: top ten guy, looked like he was gonna be on 693 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: a Bridgewater journeyman path and it's anything but that. Now 694 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 1: pretty crazy. But now it looks like Bridgewater might be 695 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's backup quarterback. Just wild, and it's it's not 696 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: to talk trash on Teddy Bridgewater. That's not the whole 697 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: point of this. The whole point is Baker Mayfield could 698 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: have been in the exact same situation and it just 699 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: worked out. He got an opportunity with Tampa competent supporting cast, 700 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: he made the most of it, revived his entire career. 701 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: That's pretty wild to think about, because the way you 702 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: look at Teddy with Saints two years, Panthers a year, 703 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: Broncos a year, Dolphins a year, Lions a couple of years, 704 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: that's exactly what Baker was headed toward. And he just 705 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: did a sharp left hand turn and all of a sudden, 706 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: it's like, Wow, careers on track again. It's pretty wild. 707 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: By the way, the AI version of our doctored pictures Coop, 708 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: they're freaking weird. 709 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't get this. 710 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a I'll give a shout out to 711 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: the person who you know here it is.

I'm not sure who uh coming up next? 728 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: This guy is gonna be special, not this special.
