One or two of them 7 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 2: may be appearing on this podcast as well, so it 8 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: should be a fun, busy, exciting week. I think I 9 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 2: talk to you guys a little bit about, you know, 10 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 2: the work life balance, dads and kids. It's so funny 11 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: because school starting right, my son has volleyball tryouts. My 12 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: daughter's got about a month to volleyball tryouts, so it's 13 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: starting to get to be go time. I've got the 14 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: NFL season coming up. So my computer was a little 15 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: bit on the fritz recently. I won't bore you with 16 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: the detail, but I recorded an entire podcast and it 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: then said, oh, you were at a disc storage space. 18 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 2: Sorry it didn't record. So then I adjusted the space, 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: or so I thought, recorded again, no dice. I was 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: livid at this point. Rob G's so good on the 21 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: back end, you can't even tell that the third one 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: was recorded on my phone. So after that, would your 23 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: boy do quick research. I'm a MacBook guy, I'm an 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: Apple guy, and I went out and said football season's 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: coming up. I can't mess around. I showed up at 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: the Apple store with my dog because I brought him. Anyways, 27 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 2: they didn't say anything about the dog. Unbelievably, I had 28 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: no appointment, just strolled in to the Apple store. I 29 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: was like, hey, here's my old MacBook. I basically need 30 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: the same thing, but more memory, and can you help 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: me clean up the memory on this? And they're like sure. 32 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: I was out of the store within thirty minutes of 33 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: the new computer. Now it's not a super expensive as 34 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: the prices have come down dramatically. But the best part 35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: is it was a seamless process. Shout out to Apple. 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: Felt really good. 37 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: It feels good when you can go in knowing your 38 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: problem and get it solved and silly. It was great, 39 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: great stuff. And I'm happy with my new computer because listen, 40 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 2: during football seat, I can't have like a random Tuesday 41 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 2: and then the computer goes down and I'm gonna scramble mode. 42 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: You guys know, I'm very routine oriented by the way 43 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: the men's basketball season starting up next month. Obviously, I 44 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: just got a lot of stuff cooking. I can't have 45 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: my computer go out of me. I also looked at 46 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: the new I was like, hey, what about the new 47 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: iPhone sixteen? Like it's not even out yet. I was like, ooh, well, 48 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 2: I don't want to buy a fifteen. I'm on a 49 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: thirteen Pro Max. And my kids are like laughing at me, Dad, Dude, 50 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: that's like three years old. It's like, guys, I'm not mister, 51 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: buy a new iPhone. Every time it comes out, you 52 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: wait a little bit and then you get it. But 53 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: I waited too long anyways. Nevertheless, let's get your sports, 54 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: and it's funny. I'm a Jets fan, as you guys know, 55 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 2: and I'm not a fan of any of the teams 56 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: of the division. Do not like the Bills, really detest 57 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: the Patriots. But you don't have to worry about them anymore. 58 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: They had their run. It's over and I'm never I've 59 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: never been a Dolphins fan, although and I think I 60 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: admitted his once on a pod. I Uh. When I 61 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: was a kid, we had my godmother was living in Florida, 62 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: and you know, she was like a New York, Florida 63 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: snowbird or whatever. My parents met her when they had 64 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: just come to this country, and she decided one Christmas, 65 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: I'm gonna send Jason and Jeffrey his brother Miami Dolphins 66 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: jerseys and helmets and all, you know, like the outfit 67 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: for little kids. And so they sent it. And at 68 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: the time, I was like, oh, this is cool. My 69 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: first football helmet, you know, I was maybe like ten. 70 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: And there is a photo I've never posted online and 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: I will not of me with the Dolphins jersey, my 72 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: brother's standing next to me, the Dolphins helmet. It was 73 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: the Dan Marino jersey, and I saw it recently going 74 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: through something. I was like, ooh, I can't let that 75 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: surface online. Dolphins. The problem is right now, I like 76 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel so much as a head coach. He's smart, 77 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: he seems cool, he's brainy, he never played football, he 78 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: went to Yale. He's just an interesting guy. The way 79 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: he talks to players, I think it really is awesome. 80 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: And A I'm upset the Jets didn't go after him. 81 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: They got Sala instead. Sala is very likable too. We 82 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: just can't win football games, and McDaniel is just a winner, innovative, smart. 83 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: I know he hasn't won the playoff game, but at 84 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: least they're in the playoffs, guys. And last year Tua 85 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: was an MVP candidate. I know he didn't finish, you 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: know great and was awful in that cool weather game, 87 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: but bottom line, an MVP candidate. Fun fact, Tua has 88 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: been better than any quarterback the Jets have had. Listen, 89 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: I'm a Sanchez guy too, has had better numbers than Sanchez. 90 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: I mean, Chad Pennington. Do you have to go back 91 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 2: that far? Like it's been a minute, and it is 92 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: interesting to watch this Dolphins kind of offense be a 93 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: machine and listen, they have been great the last couple 94 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: of years. They're going to continue to be very good offensively. 95 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: The problem, of course, is they now don't have a 96 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: defense at all. And you paid to a lot of money, 97 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: and I do think this is this franchise has like 98 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 2: a limited ceiling right now. With his Dolphins team. 99 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 100 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: the nation.

And the NBA people will call out 106 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: whoever they want, players, coaches, it don't matter. They will 107 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: go after anyone NBA clearly, players league in the NFL, 108 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: it's about the shield. And as we saw with Sean 109 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 2: Payton and Hackett, like you don't throw jabs at former 110 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: coch you just don't really talk out of pocket about anyone. 111 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: And Tua was talking to Dan Lebottard and was asked 112 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 2: about the com about his experience with Brian Flores. Now, 113 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: if you guys want to turn back the clock a little, well, 114 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 2: Flores and Tua were together for Tua's first two years. 115 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 2: It improved, or they so appeared to be improving in 116 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: year two, and then the Dolphins fired Flores, and some 117 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 2: of the reports were like he's a little gruff and 118 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: blah blah blah. It turned out Flora's ended up suing 119 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 2: the team and the league. It got kind of ugly. 120 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 2: But what we didn't know was just how bad things 121 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: were between Tua and Brian Flores, who's now the DC 122 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: in Minnesota. This is what Tua told Dan Lebatart if 123 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 2: you woke up every morning and I told you you 124 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: sucked at what you did, that you didn't belong doing 125 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: what you do, that you shouldn't be here, that this 126 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: guy shouldn't be here, you haven't earned this right. Then 127 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: you have someone else come in and say, dude, you're 128 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: the best fit for this. You are accurate, you're the 129 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 2: best whatever you are, this you are that. How would 130 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: it make you feel listening to one or the other? 131 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying, and he's contrasting Flores and 132 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel, and then to a this is where he 133 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: People will say he crossed the line. I think it. Listen. 134 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: I prefer the candor and the honesty. You hear it 135 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: regardless of what it is, the good or the bad. 136 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: You hear it more and more. You start to actually 137 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: believe that, I don't care who you are, you can 138 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: be the president of the United States. You have a 139 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: terrible person telling you things you don't want to hear 140 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: or things you shouldn't be hearing. You were going to 141 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: start to believe that about yourself. I mean, he called 142 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: his former head coach a terrible person. I'm not saying 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: Flores isn't a terrible person. I don't know him, but man, 144 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: that is pretty fricking brutal on Brian Flores. Now Flores 145 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: again is the DC with the Minnesota Vikings. He's on 146 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: the young side, which is weird. He's forty three years old. 147 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: You would have think he would have connected. But why 148 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: would Flores act like this? By many accounts, Flores, you know, 149 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: connects with players. Well, let's see where he started. Oh oh, 150 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: interesting with the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick. Bill 151 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: Belichick who famously, in meetings with his quarterback Tom Brady, 152 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: would say, look at this crap throw by Brady. I 153 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 2: can go get Johnny quarterback from the local high school 154 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: down the road, and he can make a better outthrow 155 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 2: than Brady. This is documented, Brady said it. Nobody's denied this. 156 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: Belichick would undress Brady, undress poor poor Fraser. He would 157 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: hammer Brady in the meetings right to show the team. Listen, man, 158 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,119 Speaker 2: I know he's the super Bowl MVP, he's Tommy superstar, 159 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: he's handsome, he's got the Super Bowl a wife. But 160 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: nobody's above this team. And that was his way of 161 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: doing that. Eventually, you know, Brady got sick of that. 162 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: Crap and moved on. But Flores was with the Patriots 163 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 2: for two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, all 164 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: the way up through twenty eighty. He was with Belichick 165 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: for a decade, almost a decade, seeing everything that went down, 166 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: seeing how he treats players, and it wasn't good and 167 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: that stuff will come back and bite you. 168 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: In the ass. 169 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: And now Flores kind of like Josh McDaniels, who goes 170 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: around thinking he can do whatever the hell he wants, 171 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: blew up in his face. Flores apparently was treating too 172 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: that horribly and that negativity will really really wear on you. 173 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's it's awful. And you know, 174 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,359 Speaker 2: on a much smaller scale, I have my first experience 175 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 2: in TV at Fox was shall we say, not great. 176 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 2: I was working with a bit of an egomaniac who's 177 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 2: no longer in sports. And is there is there a 178 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: theme I think I talked about this last week or 179 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: two weeks ago, how a bunch of people who I've 180 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: noticed are pricks and jerks and talk down to people, 181 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 2: and are I think they're the shit? Many of them 182 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 2: are no longer in the industry. Interesting anyways, and you know, 183 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: we would do a show, and almost every day on 184 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: the car ride home, I would get a call and 185 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 2: after like the first week, I was like, oh, these 186 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: are all negative. Man, maybe I'm maybe I'm not gooder TV. Meanwhile, 187 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: the reports from inside the building, dude, you're great. Focus 188 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: groups they like you. Yeah. Anyways, and I would hear 189 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: what I was doing wrong from one person and it 190 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 2: was like, man, this guy's super negative. And I knew 191 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 2: he was kind of negative, but I didn't know he 192 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 2: was this negative. And this just just kept going every day, 193 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: and I'm like, I know, I don't stink. Okay, I'm 194 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: new to this TV thing. Obviously, I'm gonna work out 195 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: the kinks, but I'm showing up on time. I know 196 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: what I gotta do, I know what I gotta say. 197 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: I'm saying intelligent things. I'm making people think like it 198 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 2: can't be this bad. Sure, sometimes I'm gonna make a mistake. 199 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 2: Nobody's perfect. Everybody makes mistakes every day. The only way 200 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: to get better is by failing. And it turns out like, 201 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: you know, things didn't go well for that show, and 202 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: it just when you hear the negativity, you start to 203 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: almost question yourself a little bit and that's what Tool 204 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: was going through. Now, obviously Tua gets a new coach 205 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden boom, he's very very good. 206 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 2: And then he gets Tyreek Hill and is, oh, what 207 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 2: do we have here in the Jaylen waddle? And so 208 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 2: now too has got fifty five million dollars or whatever. 209 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: But I mean, it's it's sad to say because I'm 210 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: a Jets fan, but I'm kind of sort of rooting 211 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: for Tua. I do like an underdog, and I know 212 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 2: you can't go to Alabama and be an underdog. Too. 213 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 2: Was kind of an underdog, even the way his career 214 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 2: started and the stuff he went through. And listen, being 215 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: consistent is super hard, guys. I don't think people realize 216 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 2: how difficult it is to show up every day and deliver. 217 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: And I saw this Tom Hanks thing. He was giving 218 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: advice to young actors. And Tom Hank's, you know, legendary 219 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: actor want an oscar. You know, he's been in so 220 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: many incredible movies, too many to count here, But his 221 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: advice to actors was very simple and basic. Okay, show 222 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 2: up on time, know your lines, have an idea of 223 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: what to do in the scene. That's it. Keep it simple, 224 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: and it's really tough to all the time consistently show 225 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 2: up on time. Man, listen, people got a lot of 226 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: stuff going on. I gotta walk the dog. The dog 227 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 2: ends up pooping four times. Then the kids come down. 228 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: You know, like there's a reason. Oh I'm sorry, I'm 229 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 2: a little late today. You know, show up on time. 230 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: Guys know your lines. Hey, we flub them sometimes. Sometimes 231 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: I come on here and I'll listen back to the 232 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: podcast and there are way too many ums or uh 233 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: and I just hate that. I'm so upset with myself 234 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 2: for not just being smooth and crisp. And it's something 235 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: I'm working on. And then have an idea what you're doing. 236 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: The scene is similar to know what the hell you're 237 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 2: talking about, do the homework. And I'm just telling you 238 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 2: a guy like Cam Newton was an awesome quarterback, but 239 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: you can go look up his record. He was up 240 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: and down year to year. Go look up Dak Prescott. 241 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 2: Awesome against teams he's supposed to be. Then the matchups 242 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: come against the tougher teams or in the playoffs, and 243 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: where's superstar dark Prescott. He's not Superstar dark Prescott. Now 244 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 2: the inverse is true for some guys like Patrick Mahomes. 245 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: The last year at his worst regular season ever, and 246 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: it wasn't like he was crap. He just wasn't dominant. 247 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. Well, it's tough to continue that when you 248 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: lose Tyreek Hill and offensive line influx. Blah blah blah. 249 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs was incredible. Now again, it's 250 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: a game of inches, and I'm thinking back to that 251 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: Mahomes interception early third quarter in the Super Bowl. Visually, 252 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 2: I close my eyes and I can visualize it up 253 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 2: the right sideline. Mahomes just makes a bad throw and 254 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: before it was picked off, you could tell, oh my gosh, 255 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: and Mahomes do the pick and I ah, guys, I mean, 256 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: it's been eight months. I should be over the game, 257 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: but I felt like the Niners were the side. Anyway's 258 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 2: bottom line is I'm happy for Tua, and I know 259 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: Dolphins fans an't gonna want to hear that or accept it. 260 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: I'm rooting for the guy and the Flora situation. Listen, 261 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: he's probably gonna get another shot. I don't know, man, 262 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: I don't know for sure. I mean, again, he's super young. 263 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: But if the Minnesota defense is incredible. You know, Flores 264 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 2: can say, hey, guys, I had to fail as a 265 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: head coach in Miami, take a step back to take 266 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 2: steps forward as a person as a coach related to players. 267 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: And I'm very curious what happens in Minnesota the Flores 268 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: because he's a good defensive coordinator. We know that he's 269 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 2: a sharp defensive mind. Some guys not totally built to 270 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: be a head coach. Some guys are built to be, 271 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: you know, a great lieutenant as opposed to the captain. 272 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: And that's that's tough. I don't know what's gonna happen 273 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 2: with McDaniel and Miami. I don't think that's a super 274 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 2: Bowl team, but they've got to be so thrilled to 275 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: be relevant again Postal Marino. They have not been relevant 276 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: maybe one like every five six years, and now McDaniels 277 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: has something to cook. But I don't know what long 278 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: term like, I just don't see where their upside is. 279 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: I don't know that they're gonna win consistently with Tua 280 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: paying in. 281 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: That Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup 282 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: in the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports 283 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR 284 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: to listen live. 285 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: But let's pivot to another quarterback who and this guy 286 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 2: was named the starter on Monday, and that's Jaden Daniels, 287 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: the LSU quarterback who went second overall to Washington. I 288 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: guess Dan Quinn saw enough in the preseason game he 289 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: named Jaden Daniels the starter. There is optimism in Washington 290 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: about this squad. 291 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. 292 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: I'm a little lukewarm. I know Cowherd has been very 293 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: bullish on Washington. He's got them in the playoffs. I'm like, 294 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: I My issue is off a four and thirteen season. Now. 295 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: We have seen teams make dramatic leaps, obviously in this league. 296 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna remind people the amount of newness on 297 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: this Washington team, guys is unbelievable. Okay. If they were 298 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: to somehow make the playoffs with all this newness, this 299 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: would be historic. Okay. So last year, the Houston Texans 300 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: had a first time head coach in Tamico Ryans, a 301 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: first time offensive coordinator and Bobby Slowick, and a rookie 302 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: quarterback in CJ. 303 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: Stroud. 304 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: So that was a lot of new news. Nobody had 305 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: the Texas making the playoffs. They had an amazing run. Now, 306 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: the division certainly lent itself to opportunity. Indianapolis's quarterback got hurt, 307 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 2: the Jags Trevor Lawrence's battling injuries. The Titans were just 308 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: going down the tubes. But that's a lot of newness 309 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: that Houston dealt with. Okay, coach, OC, quarterback, And I'm 310 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 2: sure there's a couple other parts that were new. Are 311 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 2: you ready for the newness in Washington? These are all new. 312 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 2: Washington has a new ownership, a new general manager, a 313 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: new head coach. Now, Dan Quinn's not a first time 314 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 2: head coach like Ryan's was, but he's a new head 315 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 2: coach in Washington. New offensive coordinator again, not a first timer. 316 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury obviously has been a head coach before, but 317 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 2: he's new to Washington. And they have a rookie quarterback who, interestingly, 318 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,719 Speaker 2: like Stroud, went second overall owner, GM, coach, OC and quarterback. Now, 319 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 2: if you really want to have fun, I'm seeing a 320 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 2: depth chart or Washington's rookie left tackle, Brandon Coleman, a 321 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: third rounder out a TCU. It's looking like he may 322 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: start at left tackle. Rookie left tackle rookie quarterback. Guys, 323 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: that is a really, really sketchy combo. I mean you 324 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 2: could toss a new running back in Austin Eckler like 325 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 2: there is all over the field. They got new stuff. 326 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 2: I was not extremely bullish on Jaden Daniels. I'm out 327 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 2: of lsu just the wiry frame. I like him, I 328 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: don't love him, and this is not I'm not putting 329 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 2: him down. I would have gone Drake May too. I 330 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 2: think Drake May ultimately has more upside. But Drake May's 331 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: not gonna do Jack squat. Trust me on this. He's 332 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: not gonna do jack swat this year in New England. 333 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 2: I know he had like a decent half and all 334 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 2: these Patriots fans got pissed at me for floating Drake 335 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 2: May to. Who'd I float him to? Was it the Rams? No? 336 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 2: The Niners? I'm sorry. Last week somebody actually pushed back 337 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 2: and said Rams make more sense as I kind of 338 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 2: do one piece of optimism for my Washington fans. Jaden Daniels, Oh, 339 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: by the way, twenty three years old. This is not 340 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: some young twenty one year old like JJ McCarthy. He's 341 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 2: gonna be twenty four in December. Jayden Daniels. There's a 342 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: guy who started at Arizona State. He it looks like 343 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 2: he started fifty five games in his career. That's insane. 344 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: He's old, he's on the older side, and you know, 345 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 2: maybe he it's gonna click for him quickly. I just 346 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 2: worry about the Spindley frame, the running for his life 347 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 2: in the backfield. It seems to me like there could 348 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: be some challenges for Jayden Daniels. And it's like, I 349 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: know Quinn has done plenty in his career, and Cliff 350 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 2: Kingsbury I like him as an offensive mind. I just 351 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: think there's so much new stuff happening in Washington. Oh, 352 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 2: by the way, the Philadelphia Eagles are really frickin good. 353 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 2: They're gonna be excellent. And then you look at the 354 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 2: other side and you're like, oh, well, let's see, Eagles 355 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 2: are very good. Huh, giant stink. I think we all agree. 356 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: And then Dallas is favored in thirteen games. Listen, I 357 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: know the national narrative is the sky is falling in Dallas. Ceedee, 358 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 2: Lamb's not signed, Dak doesn't have an extension, coaches a 359 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 2: lame duck. Oh this is a disaster. Okay, sure, it 360 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 2: is that being said, they won twelve games each of 361 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: the last three years, and they're favorite in thirteen games 362 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 2: this year. 363 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: Somebody's wrong. 364 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 2: Everybody yelling this skuy is falling in Dallas or Vegas, 365 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 2: which has him favored in thirteen games. Now, I don't. 366 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 2: I don't see Dallas falling to like seven eight nine wins. 367 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: I mean that obviously there's a path to that. I 368 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 2: don't see it plummeting that low. I mean, maybe things 369 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: go haywire and it's a total disaster at McCarthy's pissed 370 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 2: and Jerry's fighting, and CD Lamb's not even their week one. 371 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: I mean, anything couldn't happen. But realistically, it certainly feels 372 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: like this is a Dallas team that's gonna be number 373 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: two in the division. And that's and I don't know 374 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 2: how Washington leapfrogs them. Again. We're starting to dig into 375 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 2: teams and get a little more granular here. I mean, 376 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 2: you guys want to look at the Washington defense. I 377 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 2: don't know who's the best player on that team? 378 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: That defense? 379 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 2: I mean, is it are we really gonna say it's like, 380 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 2: I don't know, Uh, let's see here, Armstrong, is he 381 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 2: the highest graded Doris Armstrong. 382 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: No, he's not that good. 383 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 2: It's probably Payne and Allen in the middle of the 384 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 2: defensive line. But when is the middle of a defensive line? 385 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: Never won you anything with just that? Come on, they're 386 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 2: not Aaron Donald. 387 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: Sorry. 388 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 2: Bobby Wagner is like their starting linebacker. How old is 389 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 2: He's like thirty four years old. I just I don't 390 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: see the defense. I see Dayton Daniels being interesting, and 391 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 2: maybe it's an RG three type run. Eight nine wins 392 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: in the wis for a wildcard game. I don't know 393 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 2: it's possible. All Right, that's it for a Tuesday podcast. 394 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 2: Back tomorrow it'll be college football. Definitely circle it.
