College basketball, by the way, 8 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: today is a great start to March badness. If you 9 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: haven't got into college hoops today, there's wall to wall 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: college basketball all day starting around noon. It's just it's 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: heavenly for a big college hoops fans such as myself. 12 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: All that being said, college back seat. College basketball had 13 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: to take a back seat to the NFL because of 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: what went down on Tuesday. Okay, so the funny part is, 15 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: if you guys remember on Monday, the big story was 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: negative in the NFL. Oh oh, Calvin Ridley, integrity, gambling 17 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: of panic people freaking the hell out. It was poised 18 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: to be a big story. And then Tuesday, I don't 19 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: know what. Mid morning, I was playing pick up basketball, 20 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: our usual game. Your boy went four. Oh it was 21 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: a good run. I see. I look up at the 22 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: TV in between games, I see Hearon Rodgers staying. I'm like, 23 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: oh wow, okay, well that's done. Kind of boring in 24 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Roger's Dame, kind of over a whiney little Aaron Rodgers complaining, 25 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: going all these tirades. They're trying to cancel me. He 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: just got the richest quarterback deal in NFL history canceled. 27 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: What a clown. Anyways, Aaron Rodgers got center stage for 28 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: all of I don't know what three hours, four, maybe two, 29 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I wasn't watching the clock. But 30 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson gets traded in an absolute stunner. And this 31 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: is some them we've talked about on the podcast Ad Nauseam. 32 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: Anytime you hear something that everybody's talking about, oh my gosh, 33 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in Denver never ever happens. Russell Wilson was 34 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: all quiet on the home front in Seattle. I got 35 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: called to do a Seattle radio station interview a couple 36 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and I basically was laying out options 37 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson and the host is like, you know, 38 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: this is all good, well, but he's not going lear anywhere. 39 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: He's not chirping like he was last summer. To me, 40 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: it was almost too quiet, and all of a sudden, 41 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson shipped at Denver. My first reaction is, wow, well, 42 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: Denver must have given up a lot. You know Denver 43 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: had to give up a ton, Right, You're getting Russell 44 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: Wilson a Hall of fame, Yes, hall of fame quarterback. 45 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear the doubters. Come on. Russell 46 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Wilson wins the super Bowl was on the doorstep of 47 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: another I know he's never been the m VP of 48 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: the league, but without question, he is a great story. 49 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: He was the center of not quite a dynasty, but 50 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: a contender for a decade in Seattle. Russell Wilson is 51 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: definitely on track to be in the Hall of Fame. Definitely. 52 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 1: I mean, if his career ended tomorrow, I think he 53 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: still gets in. Like he didn't even get to play 54 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: with Denver. I think he still gets in now. Matt Stafford, 55 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: remember the kerfuffle. I got into with Richard Sherman about 56 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: that recently. That was that was a little different because 57 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: I said Stafford's on his track now. If his career 58 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: ended tomorrow, he did never played again. I don't know 59 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: that he would get in. It would be it would 60 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: be dicey for Stafford. He he needs more than just 61 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: like one postseason run. Right. Russell Wilson has been eight 62 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: awesome talent in Seattle. He has been at the center 63 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: of you know, Pete Carroll's teams. And I know people 64 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: are gonna say, what did he do when the legion 65 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: of boom dissipated? And that's a fair, fair question. Um. 66 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: I don't think he's been to a conference championship since 67 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: ye and we know how hard that is. Aaron Rodgers 68 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: hasn't been to a Super Bowl despite winning thirteen games 69 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: every year. Iroon Rodgers a great quarterback. Football is tough. 70 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: It's tough to get back to super Bowls. I've said 71 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: this before, guys. Brett Farrvan Aaron Rodgers. I don't think 72 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: people would argue two of the ten best quarterbacks in 73 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: the history of the sport. Brett Farve is certainly in there. 74 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: He won three straight MVPs. We forget this, okay, three 75 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: straight MVPs. Best player in the league three straight years, 76 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers m v P contender almost every year. They 77 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: each only won one Super Bowl. Now I know only 78 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: sounds bad, like it's a knock. But folks were looking 79 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: at like twenty seven years straight of these two and 80 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: they won just two Super Bowls. That does seem low 81 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: at any rate. Russell Wilson goes to Denver and you 82 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: start waiting for to see what they're gonna get, and 83 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: you're like nothing. In thirty minutes, all of a sudden, now, 84 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy's not included in the deal. Bradley job is 85 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: a job is not included in the deal. Who did 86 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: they get? And ultimately it comes out that the Seattle 87 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: Seahawks got two first round picks, two second round picks, 88 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: a fifth round pick, a fifth or fourth, and they 89 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: give a fifth one of those two. And the three 90 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: players they got in return were Shelby Harris, I mean, 91 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: good defensive lineman, but do you mean this guy in 92 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: all pro? I don't it shall be Harris really, Noah Fant, 93 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: who is a very good tight end. We we would 94 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: agree he's not uppercrust yet, but he's got the potential, 95 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: you know, to be a top top ten, maybe top 96 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: five cornerback tight end I'm sorry, tight end in the NFL. 97 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: And Drew lock, who is going to be a placeholder 98 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: until they draft a quarterback in two months or whatever, 99 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: a month and a half, and that guy is, you know, 100 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: battling for the job. My mock draft comes out for 101 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: Fox Sports, and you know, no surprise, Malik Willis is 102 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: the guy that I think Russell will be Russell Wilson's 103 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: replacement in Seattle. I like Willis, I don't love him. 104 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: He's not slam dunk by any chance like his mediocre 105 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: quarterback class. Um so that's it, Drew Lock, Noah than 106 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: Shelby Harris. I mean nothing of consequence. There two first 107 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: round picks, two seconds and a fifth in two they 108 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: have to give a fourth, folks, That to me is 109 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,239 Speaker 1: highway robbery. That is an absolute heist by George Patton. 110 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: Not you know that George Patton. George Patton, the GM 111 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: of the Denver Broncos. He got the job a year ago. 112 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: You know, you talk about like getting a job and 113 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: making a splash, like holy cow. The Broncos have been 114 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: a waste land at quarterback since Peyton Manning retired, and 115 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 1: now he's got Russell Wilson, like you're automatically contending. Automatically. 116 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: The odds shifted in their favor for the Super Bowl. Obviously, 117 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: when you get a good quarterback and that happens, and 118 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: it's like, I mean, what a steel I don't know 119 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: what Seattle is thinking. Honestly, I work with a guy 120 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: um who used to be at ESPN for a long time. 121 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: He's one of the runs, like the editorials names Kevin 122 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: Jackson's syrup guy, and I kind of rib him because 123 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: we robbed Seattle on the Jamal Adams trade, which was 124 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: basically the beginning of the end of Russell Wilson. That 125 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams trade was total disaster, awful return for a 126 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: guy who can't guard anybody in coverage and is an 127 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: inside the box safety at a position where he demanded 128 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: to be the like the highest paid safety, where the 129 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: return just isn't there. That's not one of the top 130 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: three positions. I don't even know. I mean, the top 131 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: positions on defense obviously are Ed Dresher and quarterback. It's 132 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: anybody's guess what matters next, safety, middle linebacker, defensive backle 133 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: It's just not a premium position. So things started to 134 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: go downhill. You get Jamal Adams, you demand the money. 135 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: I mean, cheez, that's bad. And now you trade Russell 136 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: Wilson and you just don't get a whole hell of 137 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: a lot and return. I don't know, guys. To me, 138 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: Seattle's in full on rebuild. And then the other shoe dropped. 139 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: Late last night, the Seahawks decided to part ways with 140 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, their great middle linebacker who came in I 141 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,359 Speaker 1: believe the same day as Russell Wilson. And that's officially 142 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: the end of an air in Seattle. I mean, you know, 143 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: it was starting to fade when Camp Chancellor left and 144 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, and now it's like, oh my god, Bobby 145 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: Wagner leaving with Russell, Like what are we doing? They 146 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: are in full on rebuild. Bobby Wagner went to eight 147 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, eight All Pro selections. If you don't believe 148 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: in Pro Bowls, eight All Pro selections. He's gonna have 149 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: his pick of where he wants to go. Still a 150 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: good player, not like a top three at his position anymore, 151 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: but you don't have to be not at this age. Um. 152 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: There's already rumors that he could go to the Ravens, 153 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: you know, the Dallas Cowboys. He's gonna go to a contender. 154 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: I would love for my Jets to get in the 155 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: mix off. That would be awesome. You need a veteran, 156 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: a leader, a guy who's gonna be able to prove 157 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: something after getting the release from a good team like Wagner. 158 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just a He's like that guy you 159 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: need in the huddle when you need a defensive stop, 160 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: you want Bobby Wagner out there. And I don't know 161 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: if Robert Sala can convince him to come play for 162 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: the Jets and be the leader of that defense, because 163 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: he instantly would be. And remember, they're they're getting the 164 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: kid lost in back from the injury he suffered in 165 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: the preseason. Never played a snap, but he was a 166 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: big time ed drusher in Cincinnati and Jets got him. 167 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: And you know, yes, now I'm making this about the 168 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: Jets because it's always about me, uh And it has 169 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: to be about the Jets if it's about me. So 170 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: I would love that for New York. But to go 171 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: back to Seattle for a second, they got hoisted. They 172 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: are now in full on rebuild mode. This is also 173 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: a win for the Arizona Cardinals. You guys know, I'm 174 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: kind of a sneak Arizona Cardinals fan, but in that division, 175 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: and we talked about the Tom Brady Division with the 176 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. Sean Payton retires, Tom Brady retires. Whoa, 177 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: Who the hell's a favorite in the NFC South? Is 178 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: it Atlanta? Can Carolina find a quarterback? Can Caroline grab 179 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and be the favorites in that division? What 180 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: the hell is going on with the Shawn Watson? Fox 181 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 182 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot 183 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app search f 184 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: s R to listen live. Now you look at the 185 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: NFC West, which I've been saying is the best division 186 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: in football, I might have to pivot to the a 187 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: f C West being the best division football. We'll talk 188 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: about that in a second. But if you're Arizona and 189 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: you see Russell Wilson's gone, Bobby Wagner, they're rebuilding. That's 190 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: like a five win team. Maybe you get Bridgewater in 191 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: there to to be a a fill in while Malik 192 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: Willis or whoever you draft gets up to speed and 193 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: maybe you win five or six, maybe seven games. Uh 194 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: Is dk Metcalf the next to go? Tyler Lockett? I mean, 195 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: how how much do we bought him out here? You know, 196 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: maybe this is a four win team. I don't. We'll 197 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: see what happens in free agency. But the Rams are 198 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: coming off the Super Bowl. I'm not gonna say that 199 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna be losing a bunch of guys, but von 200 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: Miller already sounds like he's done there. And you know, 201 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: the desire, the hunger, Aaron Donald was talking about retiring, 202 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: Sean Payton was talking about retiring. They all run it back, 203 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: Let's do it again. But is that is that urgency 204 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: and that quest to win a chip still going to 205 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: be there after winning it. We'll see TBD on the Rams. 206 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: And then the other team is San Francisco Forts. I mean, 207 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: they kicked Jimmy Garoppolo to the curb. It's not like 208 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: official yet, but he will not be back in San 209 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: Franz and Trey Lance is going to be the guy. 210 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: Like I know, we all believe Kyle Shanahan is a 211 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: very good coach. Suspect regular season. We'll see how he 212 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: does with Trey Lance under center. But I'm not certain 213 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: that Trey Lance is gonna be a ten, eleven, twelve 214 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: and quarterback with San Francisco immediately. So if I'm the 215 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, I'm feeling really damn good today. I'm backing 216 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: it up for Kyler Murray. I'm paying that man his 217 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: money right now, and let's go. Let's go win the 218 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: division and try to try to get a super Bowl. 219 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: Because Russell Wilson leaving the NFC for the a f C. 220 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: The a f C is ridiculously stacked now at quarterback, 221 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: it's insane. First of all, let's go to the a 222 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: f C West. I mean, if you want to rank 223 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, I'm sorry. I love Russell Wilson. Patrick Mahomes 224 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: obviously has to be number one. Okay, number two is tough. 225 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: You guys know, I'm a Justin Herbert guy, through and 226 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: freaking through. I am champion of the Justin Herbert fan Club. 227 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: I think I gotta put Russell Wilson rom experience what 228 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: he's accomplished. It's not like he was bad last year. 229 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: He was just hurt and missed a few games. Seattle 230 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: lost a bunch of close games. Offensive line was total garbage. 231 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: Offensive line in Denver is a little bit better, by 232 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: the way. Broncos seven and ten last year plus thirteen 233 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: point differential not bad, right, It's not bad. It feels 234 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: to me like Russell Wilson has a slight edge over Herbert, 235 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: although obviously the upside is all Herbert. He's on the 236 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: come up. Can we get yeah, I know I want 237 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: to crown Justin Herbert? Can he win a playoff game? 238 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: Can he get to the playoffs before I crown him that. 239 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm just slapping myself around there for a second, and then, um, 240 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: you know, Derek Carr pulling up the rear. We'll see 241 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: who's the quarterback for McDaniels and the Raiders. By the way, 242 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, having any buyers remorse, leaves the Patriots, goes 243 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: to the Raiders. Doesn't really know what he wants to 244 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: do with Derek Carr already either tough to vision with 245 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Herbert, and now you add Russell Wilson. I 246 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: mean the Raiders. I know they made the playoffs and 247 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: nearly beat the Bengals. Let's be realistic. That team got 248 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: lucky a f to get in the playoffs. Say sometimes 249 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 1: it happens, and they had a negative sixty five point differential. 250 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and predict, and I know they 251 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: had a trying season with a lot of all field stuff. 252 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: That's stuff. I get it. I'm not bad. I'm not 253 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: crushing them, but that ten and seven was a bit 254 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: of a luck box. They will be back in the 255 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: Cellar Folk show next year. Now, obviously the injuries pending 256 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: at quarterback, of course, but yeah, I look at the 257 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: Denver depth chart, guys, and if you're Russell Wilson, you 258 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: know you step into that locker room, you're the instant leader, right, 259 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: You're a veteran who's been in aditionpabrowle go to the 260 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: playoffs almost every year. And let's look around the locker room. Okay, 261 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: we got you know, Melvin Gordon, Javonte Williams backfield. It's 262 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: not bad assuming they bring back Gordon receivers if healthy, 263 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, potential stud Courtland Sutton very very good, Tim 264 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: Patrick underrated as hell. And you've got the burner kJ Hamdler, 265 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: who's probably stock is going to go through the roof. 266 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he'd lock it, but you know, nobody 267 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: loves the deep ball more than Russell Wilson, one of 268 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: the best deep ball passers in the league in the 269 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: last decade. That's backed up by a litany of stats 270 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: that I don't have in front of me. But his 271 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: deep ball is impeccable. So now you're talking about, oh, 272 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: who's gonna run under? Is it gonna be Handler? Is 273 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: it gonna be Courtland Sutton contesting? And then you got 274 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: alf Alberto at tight end with now Noah Fan calling 275 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: Alberto the kid from Missouri is who's pretty good? And 276 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: you just gotta say, if the offensive line holds up, 277 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: this is an eleven twelve win team. It just is. Now. 278 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: The defense, you know, Bradley Chubb, they got very good linebackers, 279 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: secondary was good. Defense, played a little bit above the 280 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: rim last year. And can they bring back Von Miller 281 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: on the cheap? What do you want to come back 282 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: for one more ride? I'm just you know this a 283 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: f C right now is just an absolute minefield. I 284 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: may have to push my Jets out of the playoff picture, 285 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: but in all reality, Buffalo is going to be there 286 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: right tradevious White is back from injury. They are one 287 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: of the five best teams in the NFL. I don't 288 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: know if the Patriots can duplicate this success with Mac 289 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: Jones and year two, he's got to make the leap. 290 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's built for that. You know, 291 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: I'm not a Miami Dolphins buyer. I like my Jets. 292 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm already on records saying I will bet against the 293 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: Bengals to make the playoffs next year. I think they 294 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: will miss the playoffs. If you've looked at the schedule, 295 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: it is brutal. Oh my gosh. Speaking of brutal schedules, 296 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. Guys, if you have looked at the opponents. Now, 297 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: we haven't seen the actual schedule, but one thing that 298 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: people seem to forget is when you win the division, 299 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: you have to then play first place. Schedule. The Tennessee 300 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: Titans opponents next year these are and I'm just gonna 301 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: rattle off just the quarterbacks. It doesn't even matter the team. Okay, 302 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: obviously division stinks in the division quarterback sting. Trevor Lawrence 303 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,239 Speaker 1: is good, but he wasn't good last year. These are 304 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks the Tennessee Titans face next year. Patrick Mahomes, 305 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert Russell, Wilson, Dak Prescott, Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, 306 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. Seven of at least the top eleven quarterbacks 307 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: in the league. That is very, very difficult for Tennessee. 308 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think Tennessee is very good next year. 309 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: Then again, I said they would be bad last year. Um, 310 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: so the Bengals are gonna flounder. I think the Steelers flounder. 311 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: So really, I'm bullish on the Baltimore Ravens. Giving the injuries, 312 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: I think they bounced back. We'll see on Cleveland. I'm 313 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: not sure on them. I'm giving them a TBD a 314 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: f C South. It feels to me like Colts. I 315 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: can't put the Jags out there again. I can't do 316 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: that to myself. I'm sorry. I apologize for pushing the 317 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: Jags and betting on them and um losing you guys 318 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: some money there. You can't win all the futures bets 319 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: the Jags. We're blown up, detonated by early October. I 320 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: think it's safe to say there will be two wild 321 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: card teams out of the a f C West. Let's 322 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: give it to the Chiefs, but the Chargers and Broncos will. 323 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: I mean, they're going to be in the playoffs. So 324 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: that's three division winner in the South is four division 325 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: winner in the North. I'll give it to the Ravens 326 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: is five, Buffalo Division winner six, and then one more team? 327 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: Can that be my Jets Patriots, Brown's mystery team? So 328 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: a f C is just unbelievably loaded. I love this 329 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: trade for Denver, can't say that I love it. For Seattle. 330 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: It feels like, and I don't I don't want to 331 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: crush you know, an old man here, but it feels 332 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 1: like Seattle picked Pete Carroll over Russell Wilson and that 333 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: makes absolutely no sense, the guys in his seventies. And 334 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: I said he I think I said this last week 335 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: on Disputed. It was telling that Seattle signed the GM 336 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: and coach two lengthy deals like Pete Carroll's locked until 337 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: they do that, and now they trade Russell Wilson. So 338 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: it's not like it's like, hey, we gotta turn this 339 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: around in a year. No, Pete Carroll has financial stability 340 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: for three more seasons, and Schneider is sticking around too, 341 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: although my goodness, by the way, I should probably double 342 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: check that Schneider is the still the GM as we 343 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: record this morning, because man, I mean, I don't know, man, 344 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: that was just um, such a bad deal for Seattle. 345 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: The second really bad deal I know he's still the 346 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: GM of the Seattle Seahawks this morning. That's good to know. Obviously, Listen, 347 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: he built a really good team with the legion of 348 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: Boom and Russell Wilson. You hit those home runs. I 349 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: mean he was hitting Grand Slam after Grand Slam ten 350 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: years ago and now he's with it a little bit. 351 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: It just to me it reeks of a bad, bad 352 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: decision to keep the coach over the quarterback when you know, 353 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: if you've got a good quarterback, you are instantly in 354 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: the mix. Look at Zach Taylor, he was on I 355 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: think he was his odds were to be the first 356 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: or second coach fired last year. He's got a quarterback 357 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 1: in Joe Burrow and Boom, He's in the playoffs, so 358 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: obviously the quarterback matters more than the coach, and Seattle 359 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: made the decision to keep the coach over the quarterback 360 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: and compounding matters. All they could get is the ninth 361 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: freaking pick in this draft. And oh, by the way, Denver, 362 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: assuming Russell Wilson's breathing next year, is going to be 363 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: one of the better teams in the league. So that 364 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: first round pick will be like, I don't know, two 365 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: somewhere in there. So you're not even getting a top 366 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: eight pick for Russell Wilson. That's crazy.

Now, everything did come together the yet, Scott, 371 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: I believe the tenth Yeah, they have the tenth pick 372 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: in this draft from Seattle in the Adams trade. It's 373 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: it's just mind boggling. How bad of a job the 374 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,719 Speaker 1: Seahawks did. Its staggering? Can I can I say that? 375 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: I mean, Seattle is essentially saying, you know what, this 376 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: division is so loaded with the Rams winning Super Bowl, 377 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: the Cardinals on the come up on the Super Bowl 378 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: two years ago, let's just rebuild. We'll be out of 379 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: the mix for a year, maybe two. And I just 380 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: it's who are we building around? Who's the leader of 381 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: that team now in Seattle? Is it? Dare I say 382 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams? Can't be? Jamal out of the way and 383 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: it will be telling in the coming days if lock 384 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: it DK Metcalfolic, do you even bring back we shot Penny? 385 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: At this point, I have no idea. I really don't 386 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: know Russell Wilson. You guys know, people joke that I 387 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: kind of look like him. I get that. The guys 388 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: I most off and get our Russell Wilson and Bruno 389 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: Mars and you can do this side by side and 390 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: laugh all you want. I'll accept either of them whatever. 391 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: But to see Russell Wilson move, it warms my heart 392 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: because I love Superstars on the Move. I just love it. 393 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: And I mean, I guess I can get a little 394 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: bit funny here at the end of the podcast for 395 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: those hardcore listeners still listening. Since we moved out here 396 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: to l a and twenty six June June one or 397 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: whatever it was, Kevin Durant came to the Warriors, came 398 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: to the West Coast, Lebron came to the West Coast. 399 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford came to the West coast one a super Bowl. 400 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was already on the West Coast. But it 401 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: stays on the West Coast as opposed to East Coast, 402 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: and essentially a lot of good athletes seem to be 403 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: gravitating this way. I guess it helps that I'm able 404 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: to watch like every game, like Kyrie dropped fifty last night, 405 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: and you know the game was on at like five 406 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: in the afternoon out here. You know, I my um, 407 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, I'm putting together my mock draft, and I'm 408 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: watching college basketball on TV one and I'm watching NBA 409 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: on TV two, And it's like you don't miss anything 410 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: out here. And and there is something about the best 411 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: two divisions in the NFL being the NFC West and 412 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: the a f C West. Now I know the NFL 413 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: is ratings proof, and like in the in the NBA, 414 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: you really need stars. I posted on my i G 415 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: Stories yesterday somebody broke down the highest rated or most 416 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: watched NBA games this year, and the Golden State Warriors 417 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: are in like thirteen of the top like twenty two 418 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: or something insane like that, Like everybody wants to watch Currie. 419 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: And it just remember half the country is in bed 420 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: for the second half of all Warriors games. Right if 421 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: you assume everybody goes to bed at eleven, If you're 422 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: on the East Coast on a Tuesday night, you're going 423 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: to bed at eleven, right, you gotta wake up at work? 424 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: How was here on the West coast? That's you know, 425 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: you're watching that putting the kids to bed. You're pouring 426 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: some little whiskey to celebrate. Wow, we don't have anything 427 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: to celebrate yet. Maybe later this week. But I'm not 428 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: talking about on the party. I don't want to jinx it. Um, 429 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: it's just it's pretty cool, how awesome the West is 430 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: its sports. I joked that, you know, we don't want 431 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: my with on text chains and stuff with buddies. Um. Yeah, 432 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: I'm on the best coast, West Coast, best coast. It's 433 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: kind of feels fun and cool out here. I know 434 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: we have a lot of listeners in Philly and New 435 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: York and obviously Virginia where I'm from. But man, guys, 436 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: West Coast is where the action is at. Baby NFC West, 437 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: a f C West loaded. I don't know if I'm 438 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: ready to go and say Russell Wilson's going to the 439 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but I'll say this, He's got a much 440 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: better chance of getting to the playoffs and make it 441 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: to run in the NFC then he did in the 442 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: a f C. Because I'm sorry, in the a f 443 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: C then the NFC because the team in Seattle just 444 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: wasn't very good. Their defense stunk last year. Seattle's trending poorly. 445 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: Denver and I've said this has one of the best 446 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: young rosters in the league. That secondary certain looked really 447 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: good last year. It is a good Denver team. I'm 448 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: not ready to say they're gonna overtake the Chiefs or 449 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: anything silly. They do tend to play the Chiefs tough, 450 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: but usually lose those games. It's just so funny how 451 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: the Broncos go from John Elway couldn't win, uh, I 452 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: couldn't get to the super Bowl or win a big game, 453 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: to say, win the super Bowl to save his life, 454 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: and then he wins, you know, on his way out 455 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: he wins too. Then they go through a little bit 456 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: of a waste land, and then Peyton Manning comes and 457 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: saves today, and they get another super Bowl and now 458 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: back through a waste land and the cycle returns boom. 459 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, now Russ is obviously a notch below those two. 460 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: And I'm sure some people are can be like Jay, 461 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: you need to look good Russ in the hall. No, 462 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. Russell Wilson is on track. Dude. He's 463 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: only thirty three years old. I mean conservatively, the way 464 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: he takes care of his body. He's only missed three 465 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: games in his career. Russell Wilson has at least five 466 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: six more years left at least, so I'm conservatively giving 467 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: him ten more playoff wins. All he needs just one 468 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: run to the Super Bowl to get four. So's a 469 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: huge win for Denver, huge loss for Seattle. And you know, 470 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: Seattle loses her NBA team. Russ does the interception at 471 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: the goal line. Baseball is locked out. No Mariners, it's 472 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: gonna be a it's gonna be bleak for a little while. 473 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: And at least you got the Sounders in Seattle. And 474 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: I'll wrap up quickly just because you know, we we 475 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: we would like to hit on some sort of NBA 476 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: topic every night, just for a minute. Kyrie dropped the 477 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: fifty burger. It was almost like, hey, you know, I 478 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: kind of crapped the bed against Boston night and play well, 479 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: they got in my head. Let me bounce back drops 480 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: a fitty spot on LaMelo or scary Terry Rogier and company. 481 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: Nice win, and that was like really the only game 482 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: that had any like playoff ramifications. The Pelicans lose again, 483 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: which is more good news for the Lakers. John Morant 484 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: and company put it on the Pells fairly easily. Uh. 485 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: Last night tonight is actually uh, I forget who coined 486 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: ball night, but there's some pretty pretty high level games 487 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: like you know that. I'm gonna obviously keep an eye 488 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: on the Celtics, Luca hosting the Knicks, and Lakers back 489 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: in action.
