1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? John Middlecoff three

2
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: and Out podcast? How are we doing? My people? It

3
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: is Sunday night. I just uh, I actually got out

4
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: of the infrared sauna. My Jim redid the locker room,

5
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: so it's been down for like five months. The old

6
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: school sauna from like the eighties nineties. That thing cranks.

7
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: Those are you? I see people on Instagram using them.

8
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, how cool could it be? I don't know

9
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: what the red light does, but the infrared sauna is

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: hot as a mother. So I'm feeling good. I'm fired up,

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: and uh, we're gonna talk to some football. We got

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: flag football going on, some thoughts Mark Davis Raider's succession plan.

13
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: The NCAA tournament has everyone up in arms over nil

14
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: and in the transfer portal it's like it will never

15
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: be the same, Well, yeah it won't. And some other

16
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: NFL stuff. We got Carson Wentz, the Ravens over under

17
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: the Jets, dead cap space with quarterbacks who might retire

18
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: and on different teams. Pretty good life lesson to a

19
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: gms and coaches, But you guys know the drill. If

20
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: you listen on Collins Feed, make sure you subscribe. And

21

Speaker 1: you can watch all the videos on Netflix. Appreciate everyone

22
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: checking that out. And let's just talk a little. Tom

23
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: Brady in flag football treating that flag football game like

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. God heat the clips I saw, It's

25
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: like that guy misses it. That guy wants to play

26
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: football right now. For all the money Fox is paying them,

27
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: all the sweet country clubs. He's in in Florida, flying

28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: pj's all over the place, posted instagrams about his sweet watches.

29
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: There is nothing, and I repeat nothing that man misses

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: more than playing football. I was just starting with football

31
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: actually because I saw the clips. I mean the clip

32
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady avoiding the rush and throwing the dime

33
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: to Digs in the back of the end zone. It's

34
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: like I've said this forever. The number one advice I

35
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: give any human being is to try to find whatever

36
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: you're gonna do when you're you know, usually you're thinking

37
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: about this when you're in college, not necessarily high school,

38
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: but you start developing these things when you're young. Find

39
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: something you're passionate about to do, because if you do,

40
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: it is so much easier to work, because no matter

41
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: what job we do, we all end up working, right

42
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: whether you're a podcaster, I don't care what you do.

43
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: It becomes there's just a monotonous it's a job element.

44
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: You become numb to it. You're just doing something for money,

45
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: no matter how much you love, no matter how much

46
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: passion you have. But that passion and that love for

47
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: whatever you're doing is able to make it more enjoyable.

48
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: It's able to make you work long and harder, when

49
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people just would tap out because they

50
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: don't care. I know this. If I did basically ninety

51
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: eight percent of other things in life, I would suck

52
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't take it seriously. I wouldn't get it

53
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: there early, I wouldn't stay late. I wouldn't think about

54
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: it on the weekends. I wouldn't work on the weekends.

55
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to. All I'd be thinking about is

56
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: going home and doing other stuff. And when you watch

57
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, that guy loves playing football. The one clip

58
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: I saw is like, man, this guy misses throwing a

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: football in the National Football League, And like, I think,

60
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: in a different world and a different life, if maybe

61
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: he didn't have some stuff going off the field with

62
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: his ex wife now who somehow just had a kid

63
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: at like forty five years old. I didn't even know

64
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: that was possible, but she pulled it off with the

65
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: karate instructor. It's like that guy misses it. But I'm

66
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: watching this and I see this clip of Joe Burrow. Listen.

67
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: I saw all these takes on the internet about flag football.

68
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: It's a lot different than the NFL to think that

69
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: we got smoked. I mean, you got to play offense

70
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: and defense. The quarterback situation a little bit different. But

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: I know one thing. These businesses and Mark Davis, the

72
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders who are now the Vegas Raiders, are valued

73
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: at ten billion dollars. The Tish family, who I mean

74
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: the was a Steve Tish who's bff with Epstein is

75
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: trying to push that shit to his kids so they

76
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: leave him alone. That thing's valued at basically eleven billion dollars.

77
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins, who I don't think have won a

78
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: playoff game for twenty five years. He just sold a

79
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: couple percent to just get a little cash influx. Twelve

80
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: point five billion dollars. I mean, these franchises. Think about this.

81
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: If you know a human being that owned an HVAC

82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: company or owned some company and started scaling it and

83
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: did really well, and someone offered him fifty million dollars

84
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: if he crushed it and got one hundred million dollars. Like,

85
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: that's one of the richer guys in my community. This guy,

86
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: the American Dream, built up this company, sold it, had

87
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: this fur, and these banks are coming for seventy five

88
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: million dollars. These teams, I mean, are you're talking about

89
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Dolphins who never win are valued

90
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: at a combine twenty two point five billion dollars. And

91
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Joe Burrow, who is a fifty or

92
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: sixty million dollar quarterback who has dealt with injuries, jukin

93
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: doing three sixties. I'm like, my heart dropped. And I

94
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: just saw the clip that was twelve hours after the fact.

95
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: I can't imagine yesterday if gms or coaches were just

96
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: at home with their family. It's a little bit of

97
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: a slow time. Just flipped on the television on the couch,

98
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: maybe having a cold one, and said, honey, let's take

99
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: a look at Burrow and Jaden Daniels and Tom Brady.

100
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 1: They had to go what this is because listen, you're like, okay,

101
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: it's a fun time. Little risky, and then you're watching

102
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: what's going on. I know there have been talking the

103
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: NFL is big on flag football because they're going international,

104
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: They're going here, they're going there. They're trying to get

105
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: every fucking winging dick in the world to just tune

106
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: into an NFL game so they can one day sell

107
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: the media rights for seven trillion dollars. I get it.

108
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: You're either growing it or dying on. No one in

109
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: life wants to make less. I'm not anti business here,

110
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: not rooting for I root for success here, whether it's

111
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: football or whatever you do. That's where we celebrate that.

112
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: I do think this thing, though, is a slippery slope

113
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: because the clip I saw of Joe Burrow doing the

114
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: three sixty. For a guy that's got a long resume

115
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: of being on the shelf, I can't imagine Zach Taylor.

116
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: We can make fun of Mike Brown all you want.

117
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: The guy signing the checks, and those checks that hit

118
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: Joe's direct deposits seem to be pretty big. I went, Jesus,

119
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: this is I have to wonder the owners meetings here

120
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: in a week. If a couple of people are gonna

121
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: raise their hands and go I get it. We got

122
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: a union, We got J. C. Trader who say he

123
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: never wanted to operate and be the boss. Now he's

124
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: in charge. We got a lot going on, But is

125
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: there any way that we could just use like replacement

126
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: players and just let those dudes from Team USA. Let

127
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of those guys do it. I get it

128
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: might help the league a tiny, tiny percent. They have

129
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: a couple famous guys, but this isn't basketball. You can't

130
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: roll out Lebron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Michael Jordan,

131
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley, Kobe Bryant and not really worry they're gonna

132
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: get injured. This is football, and we see it time

133
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: and time again in OTAs in training camp, when you

134
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: don't even have the pads on in practices during the season,

135
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: a guy has a major injury, changing direction. That is

136
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: how ACL's achilles, Especially for these guys who are probably

137
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of training right wherever in Florida, Dallas,

138
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, wherever they're living, working with their personal trainer

139
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: doing just physical resistant stuff, obviously track work to go

140
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: out and play full speed against other NFL players. The

141
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: clip of Burrow is step On Diggs, who last time

142
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: I checked pretty high end athlete trying to tackle him

143
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: in the open, or not tackle, but rip the flag.

144
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I got nervous watching a clip that

145
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: I knew was old. I mean, it's just I'm not

146
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: anti flag football. I'm not like some of these people

147
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: that the America should be embarrassed. It's all in fun.

148
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't really care. But the number one thing that

149
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: crossed my mind was like, there are gonna be some

150
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: hands that come up at this owner's meetings, like, guys,

151
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: there's too much on the line, Like we're paying too

152
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: much money, we're all in business together. This does not

153
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: make sense, Like if I'm Josh Harris, like Jade Daniels

154
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: breaks his leg or it doesn't even need to be

155
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: some devastating injury. It's like, is this even worth it?

156
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: I did appreciate Gronk that I read that he pulled

157
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: his hamstring. But the other thing that is from an

158
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: NFL standpoint and back to the valuation is Mark Davis.

159
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite numbers I've ever read

160
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: because the story comes out from Wickersham and Vanada that

161
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: the owners are going to vote on a succession plan

162
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: for Mark Davis and the Raiders because doesn't have any

163
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: children if he's seventy one years old, so he's not

164
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: exactly a supreme chicken. And you know, I think he's

165
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: lived pretty hard, living a good life. I saw on

166
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: the internet. And you know, the move to Vegas has

167
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: been very, very fruitful for the Raiders. There is absolutely

168
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: no denying that their stadium is incredible. Don't have a

169
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: home field advantage, but financially, the practice facility, I mean,

170
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't think most of you now, I would imagine

171
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people listening to this have never been

172
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: to an NFL practice facility. They're not exactly at least

173
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: maybe it's changing a little bit, but most of us

174
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: have seen the clips of Ohio State or LSU or Georgia.

175
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: I mean they look like spaceships. That's not really the

176
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: NFL because a huge part of college was well that

177
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: was before I could pay the players. That's probably gonna

178
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: slow down a little bit. But also like it was recruiting,

179
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: like I needed it to be cool because I needed

180
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: you to say I want to play. There were in

181
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. I pick you right, So it's not recruiting.

182
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of these old school. NFL practice

183
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: facilities were not great. The Raiders before they moved to

184
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: Vegas had to be right up there, if not the

185
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: worst in the league. It was this old bank in Alameda,

186
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: kind of by the Oakland Airport. It was really really shitty,

187
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: So Mark Davis and Jerry who pushed for it because

188
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: when they didn't allow them to go to Los Angeles

189
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: to get to Vegas, went from the outhouse to the penthouse.

190
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean the stadium they played in at the Coliseum

191
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: that they should take, you know, as much explosive devices

192
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: as humanly possible and blow that fucking thing to smithereens.

193
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: Because you talk about a shithole that that is not

194
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: that's being too nice to describe it as that. I mean,

195
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: it's whatever, the most negative description you could think of.

196
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: That is how I would describe the Coliseum. I mean

197
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: a dumps dump, it truly is. And now he's just

198
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: in a state of the art in a place that

199
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: is funneling the money like that. It's worked. But in

200
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six, and this is a good life lesson

201
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: because you never know, like you truly never know. I

202
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: saw this clip, you know, the thing of Timberlake. I

203
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: didn't even watch it. I just saw the headline of

204
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: him getting the dewey is going viral. But I also

205
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: saw that Luke Combs, It's gonna come back to Timberlake

206
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: told the Busting with the Boys guys that he thought

207
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: Chris Stapleton's success made it popular for country music to

208
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: give fat guys and ugly guys a chance who could sing,

209
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: because before they just wanted like really good looking guys.

210
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: And Chris Stapleton was a guy that no one would

211
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: give a chance to until he got on stage with

212
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: Justin Timberlake. I think it was like twenty fifteen or

213
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen at the CMA's and just it's an all

214
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: time performance. If you haven't seen it, YouTube Stapleton and Timberlake,

215
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: And because I've seen a bunch of these instagrams, it

216
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: must be in my algorithm. And today in my algorithm

217
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: it was like this podcast of this guy interviewing Stapleton's manager,

218
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: and it was like the day before that performance with Timberlake,

219
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: they were booking like twelve hundred dollars a day or

220
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: night gigs like that. That's what Stapleton would get. The

221
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: day after the CMA performance with Timberlake. They were immediately

222
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: getting offers for three hundred thousand dollars, So in twenty

223
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: four hours his life changed like that. Now, that's not

224
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: an overnight success, Stapleton would tell you, because he'd been

225
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: playing music and writing music for decades. No one would

226
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: give him a chance because, you know, as Luke Comb said,

227
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: he was fat, even though he's got one of the

228
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: greatest voices you'll ever hear. I mean, there's no disputing

229
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: whether you like his genre of music or not, Like

230
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: you'd have to be like, you're just wrong if you

231
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: say the guy can't sing, and I think we'd all

232
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: agree the guy can sing. And I saw that. Al

233
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: Davis in nineteen sixty six purchased ten percent of the

234
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: Raiders for ten thousand dollars. Now, obviously inflation time value

235
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: money things were different. Ten thousand dollars in nineteen sixty

236
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: six clearly was not like ten thousand dollars now, right,

237
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: So it was probably a lot of money, and people

238
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: around him like this is are you sure like this

239
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: thing's worth one hundred thousand dollars? Where are we going? Television?

240
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: You know, radio was dominant at the time, Baseball was huge,

241
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: but he bought something that, you know, whatever, sixty seventy

242
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: years later is worth ten billion dollars. And clearly television

243
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: changed the power of the NFL in the best way

244
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: humanly possible, right, And there have been stories about the

245
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: NFL wanting to re engage with the networks because they

246
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: feel they're way underpaid. Currently, the NBA is like they're

247
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: charging more per viewer than the NFL, and obviously the NFL.

248
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: If you've ever seen that clip of the most watched

249
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: television shows one hundred of the year, it's like ninety

250
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: percent the NFL.

251
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

252
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: But ultimately a point is Mark Davis, I've always felt

253
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: this way about the Raiders is they always had like

254
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: this collegiate vibe to it, and I always thought it

255
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: was really cool. I remember when I was in radio

256
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: and we would go in all their former players, guys

257
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: that were legends before I was even born, right like

258
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, the the Ken Stabler kind of Crew Ray guy,

259
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,479
Speaker 1: the guys that played for John Madden in the seventies,

260
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: the ones that were still alive were always welcome, and

261
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: their big thing was once a Raider, always a Raider.

262
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: And I always felt like the Lakers with Doctor Buss

263
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: had a sit. Now, obviously the Lakers under Doctor Buss

264
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: were much more successful. Well, I mean Al Davis won

265
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: three championships, right, He won one with Madden and he

266
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: won two more with Tom Floors in the in the eighties.

267
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: But then they had a really rough sketch stretch. For

268
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: the most part, Duc Buss didn't lose like his down years,

269
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: were still making the playoffs. My point is it just

270
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: felt like both those two organizations just had a great

271
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: connection with people that played there. And then doctor Bus

272
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: and Al Davis died. And I'm not Al Davis and

273
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: doctor Buss were different people, but legends in their field.

274
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: Like when you think about the NBA and you think

275
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: about the NFL and you just say ownership in the

276
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: history of the league, Al Davis and doctor Buss will

277
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: be two of the first people you think about in

278
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: both their respective sports. Their kids were clearly over their head.

279
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: Now I can't speak to Genie Bus and the rest

280
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: of the clowns you know in her family. Mark Davis

281
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: is a really nice guy. He was always really cool

282
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: to me. He didn't always agree with what I said,

283
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: but I always respected. Like I haven't met most of

284
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: the owners in the NFL. But one thing Mark could

285
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: do is he could come sit down at a table

286
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: and just talk. He could be pretty normal, and there

287
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: was some normality to a guy that has an asset

288
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: that's worth billions upon billions of dollars. But a lot

289
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: like the Lakers when they sold to the Dodger Group,

290
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: everyone said, like, the ceiling has risen dramatically, And I

291
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: think there are some similarities there with the Raiders because

292
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: Mark Davis simply does not have the money to run

293
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: the team at the level in which it needs to

294
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: be run now. And a huge reason the Raiders have

295
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: dipped their toe and been more aggressive over the last

296
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: couple of years talking to people around the league has

297
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: been the guys that these billionaire guys, the two separate guys,

298
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: and Brady's not cutting the checks, but it's two buddies

299
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: are getting involved and they're paying guys like Chip Kelly

300
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: six million dollars a year and they realize they fucked

301
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: that up. They paid him to get the hell out

302
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: of their building immediately, and the Raiders in a short

303
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: period of time financially obviously, they took a huge jump.

304
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: They get when they got to Vegas, got some influx

305
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: of cash. But the influx since they've let these guys

306
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: buy in has really changed the game. So they're going

307
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: to sell to the VC guy and the other VC

308
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: guy again, I'm gonna butcher their names. All their percentages

309
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: are gonna go up. Tom Brady's already has a piece.

310
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe he will buy more. I do think Brady,

311
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, I've seen people say like Robert Kraft should

312
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: have just given him a percentage of the team and

313
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: kept him around, Or what if Steven Ross would have

314
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: let him be a player and then transition to a

315
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: GM and give him a percentage. All that sounds great,

316
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's a place in the league

317
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: that a guy that owns such a tiny percentage could

318
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: have more juice than the team with the Raiders. And

319
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: that is only going to continue, potentially when he sells

320
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: to the guys, because that's who Brady came in with,

321
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: and they're the ones funneling these ideas. I mean, look

322
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: at Spytech. He goes back with Tom the Tampa. So

323
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: I I think if you're a Raider fan, this has

324
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: been a really tough the last ten plus years of

325
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: Al Davis his life, Uh was really embarrassing and tough

326
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: to watch him. The majority of Mark Davis's ten uere

327
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: has been really shitty football. That there is no guarantee

328
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: just because you have money, you're gonna win. This is

329
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: a salary cap league. It's why, unlike college football, the

330
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: reason Howie Roseman or John Schneider or whoever gets so

331
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: much credit is because you have to wheel a deal.

332
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: This is not the Dodgers where it's like, yeah, we'll

333
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: just buy showe Hey Atani for seven hundred million dollars. Oh,

334
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, no one sign up. We'll just give him

335
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: sixty million dollars a year. Yeah, four years, two hundred

336
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: and forty million dollars. It's like, what the guy hit

337
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: like twenty eight home runs last year. Yeah, we'll just

338
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: give him sixty million dollars a year. He can opt

339
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: out or opt in, he can do whatever he wants.

340
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: Oh Otani's buddy in Japan. Yeah, we'll give him like

341
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 1: three eighty uh moviie bets, Yeah, trade for him, then

342
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,239
Speaker 1: give him like three ninety. It's like that, That's not

343
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 1: how football works. You have a salary cap, you have

344
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: to manipulate it. You gotta make moves on the margins

345
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: and where you can take advantage though, is signing bonuses

346
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: and paying guys up for And that's something going back.

347
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: You know Mike Mayock has talked about, is the reason

348
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack was on the Chicago Bears is because they

349
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: didn't have the cash to give him the contract that

350
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Chicago could offer. It's why Khalil was never going to

351
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: show up and not answering John Gruden's phone calls because

352
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: they knew they couldn't meet the demands. Those days are over,

353
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: and you know, the Lakers would have been very similar

354
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: to the Raiders if Lebron James didn't want to live

355
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles because I saw what that organization became

356
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: when doctor Buss died. They were a joke. And unlike

357
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: Mark Davis, Jeanie Buss is really good with the media.

358
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: She has some really close friends. Anyone that's read articles

359
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: about that family like, what a fucking embarrassment. You know,

360
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: not all their fault, crazy life. Dad was screwing everything

361
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: that moved, coming from different moms and all sorts of shit.

362
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: But I do think the Raiders, whenever this transition happens,

363
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: one Mark is going to be filthy, rich and with

364
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: no one to give it to. Its fascinating. Like what

365
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: do you do when you die and you've got billions

366
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: in the bank? You know? Uh, but that's a good

367
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: problem to have.

368
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: I guess, can I tell her my friends at hard

00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: Rock Bet.

370
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: My wife looks at me the other night and she goes,

371
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: why are you rooting so hard for Arkansas? You would

372
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: have thought that coach cow was my dad. I said,

373
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: fifty to one, I got the razorbacks to make a

374
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: freaking run, Duke, bring it on, baby today. She's like,

375
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: why are you rooting so hard for the Johnnies? I said,

376
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: Rick Pattino, that's my guy. Let's make a run. Gotta

377

401
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: seen in March Madness. You know coach cal high Point

402
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: on I don't even think I'd ever heard a high

403
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: point and watching them against Arkansas, who I have a

404
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: fifty to one future on to win the national championship.

405
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: So I was rooting heavily for them. Midway through the game,

406
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is the greatest mid major twelve seat

407
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: I've ever seen before. I looked them up and read

408
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: these articles about how they have like these rooms with

409
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: first class seats that you can sit down to get

410
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: used to talking to people in first class for business.

411
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: Of course everyone on Twitter is making fun of them.

412
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: It's like, that is the most practical thing I've ever

413
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: seen a college. You know, do the amount of stuff

414
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: going on on college campuses that are completely worthless the

415
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: moment you walk across that stage with a degree. Stuff

416
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: like that. More colleges to try to institute how do

417
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: we elevate you in the real world where it's all

418
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: about making money and doing deals if you're gonna enter

419
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: the private sector, which the majority of people going to

420
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: college are gonna do. So props to high Point for

421
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: having that. I didn't realize Super Rich School basically an

422
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: IV down in North Carolina. But coach cal after the game,

423
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: because they easially could have lost, I mean, they were

424
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: in major, major trouble started giving them a bunch of credit.

425
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: They had, like chartered a jet for their fans. And

426
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: he's basically said, you know, coaches can win and lose games,

427
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: but administrations win championships. And this thing is like NIL

428
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: has changed the game. Like on Friday, all sixteen favorites

429
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: won the game for the first time since like two

430
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. In back to back years, no thirteen, fourteen,

431
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen seed won a game. It's like nil

432
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: has changed March madness. And listen, I did not go

433
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: to do I didn't go to UCLA. It didn't go

434
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: to Michigan, right, so I've always rooted for the underdog.

435
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: I'll never forget watching Davidson and Steph Curry have that run.

436
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: It was incredible. It was awesome, like VCU is Shaka

437
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: Smart or Butler with Brad Stevenson. Like, unless you're one

438
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: of the big school snobs, which if I was a

439
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: big school snob, I hate the fucking little guy. You

440
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: think Jeff Bezos is root for the mom and pop shop,

441
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: of course not so. I totally understand when you go

442
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: to little schools like I did, like cal Pauly and

443
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: we made the tournament one time in my life. He

444
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: were sixteen seed. I think we played Kansas and lost

445
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: by like seventy five in the first round and actually

446
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: had to play in that sixteen sixteen playing game. But

447
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: like this tournament and college football as well, nil has

448
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: completely changed everything. I'm old enough to remember a world

449
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: that did not have the Internet. Then the Internet came

450
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: and chaos ensued. Why there aren't rules on the Internet.

451
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: There are more now, but historically there weren't. Listen, I

452
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: can speak from experience. When I got out of football,

453
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: I went to radio. Guess what a lot of rules.

454
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: There are things you can and can't say in my

455
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: job now I've been a podcaster for almost ten years.

456
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: Guess what, no rules? Maybe a little bit more because

457
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: I have big advertisers and partners. No one's ever told

458
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: me what I can and can't say. But it's like

459
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna rip a company that I know, Like

460
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: we're in business talks to get involved, right, But that's

461
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: just smart business, not because anyone's telling me what I

462
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: can and can't do. I can say whatever I want,

463
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: and any word coming out of my mouth is also allowed.

464
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: You can't swear on the radio, So what's a huge

465
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: advantage for podcasts kind of real and authentic. What has

466
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: radio lacked like feels very corporate? Of course it does.

467
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: It is corporate. What are we not? One day podcast

468
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: probably becomes way more corporate. That's inevitably how most things go.

469
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: Like do you think Uber destroyed? Taxis could not have

470
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: existed without the Internet and technology? What do you think

471
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: did en Blockbuster streaming? Boom? See you? And Nil is

472
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: no different than like I remember forever. I come from

473
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: a small town. We do not want Target around. I

474
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: remember hearing that forever when I was a kid. No Target,

475
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: No Target, No Target. Guess what's been in Davis, California

476
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: for the last like ten years. Target. Guess what's packed

477
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: every single day? Target. Guess what's not around as much anymore?

478
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: The mom and pop shops that were in business around

479
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: the vicinity. So I just think part of the big

480
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: money and the transfer portal. Yeah, the teams with the

481
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: money are going to get all the talent and the

482
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: little mid major the butler's. I said this the other day.

483
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: I underestimated like when Luke Fickle was at the University

484
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati and they ran the table and they played

485
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: in that BCS game against Alabama, and just got their

486
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: teeth kicked in. I was like, that's that's a really

487
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: impressive coaching job. And they've Sas Gardner a hundred million

488
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: dollar player, Alec Pierce a hundred million dollar player, Kobe

489
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: Bryant fifty million dollar player, just won a Super Bowl.

490
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: It's like, now they had some high end talent. They

491
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: had a quarterback he had drafted, they had a good

492
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: running back. I'm sure I'm missing some other guys that

493
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: played in the NFL. Well, guess what would have happened

494
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six with that team. Those guys would

495
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: have been poached from Oregon, from Texas, from Ohio State,

496
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: from Indiana, Like Indiana. It is an incredible story, the

497
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: all time losing his program in the history of Division

498
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: one college football. They historically suck well, kind of makes sense.

499
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: They were in a conference with Michigan and Ohio State

500
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: and they were a basketball school. Completely turns it around.

501
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 1: Obviously they got to coach right. They found this Jem

502
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti, who's a star. But why was he able

503
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: to do it so fast? It would not have been

504
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: humanly possible ten years ago. He could not have pulled

505
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: that off. Even if he was equally as good as

506
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: a coach because Indiana's got a sh shitload of money

507
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: and the transfer portal you can transfer whenever you want.

508
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: So when I watch Butler and Gordon Hayward back with

509
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens, guess where he probably wouldn't have been Butler.

510
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: I was at Presnel State. We had Ryan Matthews. He

511
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: was drafted in the top fifteen to replace Ledanian Tomlinson.

512
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: Guess where Ryan Matthews would not have been probably after

513
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: his freshman year Fresnel State. So the transfer portal and

514
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: the nil there are just no rules. So anytime there

515
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: are no rules, that is going to benefit to people

516
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: the most those willing to do absolutely whatever it takes,

517
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: and in business, the people with the most money. Like, listen,

518
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: we all any of us that if you're listening to this,

519
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: and I'm part of this, if you have a job

520
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: or in business that is through a contract, right, there

521
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: are things I'm allowed and not allowed to do because

522
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: of the people I'm contracted with in business. Obviously in

523
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: Netflix changed my video platform, there are rules behind that.

524
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: What's the number one thing all these college coaches are

525
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: bitching about one if they're at a school that doesn't

526
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: have the most money. You know who, I know, you're

527
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: never complaining about money, Steve Sarkizian, Ryan Day, Dan Lanning,

528
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: you do who are begging for pennies? Kenny Dillingham. If

529
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: you work for Amazon, you're not crying poor, right. So

530
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: I think a huge part of this tournament, like the

531
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: soul has been lost because any of those teams. And

532
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: this is what came out about high Point is like

533
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: that's incredied. God, this team's awesome. It turns out they

534
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: got a guy from Kentucky, as Cal said, like I

535
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: heard Gottlieb say this, there's probably not many mid majors

536
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: that spent as much on their basketball team as high Point,

537
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: and once everyone found out, none of the Power four

538
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: teams would play them, and it shows they look like

539
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: a five seed, not the little engine the kid could

540
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: they bought their team as they should if they have

541
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: the money. So I just think part of the college

542
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: experience now is like big bang and take a little bank.

543
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: And it's always been that way right in North Carolina

544
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: or Duke in basketball, or Ohio State or USC and

545
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: football in theory, could always Kentucky, you guys know what

546
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean, could always get the best players. And that's true. Well,

547
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: now they still can draw because I saw Kentucky that

548
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: lost spent twenty million dollars on their roster, that they

549
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: spent ten million dollars more than Iowa State, who's ranked higher,

550
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: and beat them. Now, just because you have the money

551
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're guaranteed to win, right, but it helps, right, Yeah,

552
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are clearly have the most money and are

553
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: well run, but the Mets and the Phillies benefit from

554
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: having big payrolls. The Blue Jays, the Yankees, like, you

555
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: don't always have to hit. But it's like you think

556
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: they make them. You know why they made the movie

557
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: Moneyball not because Billy Bean one is just a great name,

558
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: and two when he was younger was really good looking

559
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: could be played by Brad Pitton. It wasn't even that weird.

560
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,959
Speaker 1: It was because he ran a team that spent no

561
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: money on players who were going toe to toe with

562
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: the Yankees in the Red Sox. That's why. And that's

563
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: very difficult to do now in college sports. And if

564
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: you look at football, who do you think is going

565
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: to die? It's why when we watched Apple Lash and

566
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: State and the other program, I forget off the top

567
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: of my head that wade the playoffs, Like, what are

568
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: we doing here now? In college basketball? The tournament's so big,

569
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: it's a no brainer letting the little guys. But the

570
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: little guy now has no shot because even if they

571
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: had the guys, that guy is not on their team

572
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: potentially for more than a semester. So like, listen, the

573
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: game's changed. I don't think we're going back. I talked

574
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: about this the other day. You know, unionize, like you

575
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: unionize when you're getting screwed. You know who's not getting

576
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: screwed right now? The players. They're all making bank. They

577
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: get one hundred percent of the leverage, do whatever they

578
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: want whenever they want. Until that changes, it went forever

579
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: they had no control. Now they got all the control,

580
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: and the teams with the most money have the best

581
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: ability to control where those guys go, because that's where

582
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: they're going to gravitate toward. So I listen, I love

583
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: the tournament. I was blown away by high Point. But

584
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: like Arkansas in the second, a cuff doesn't come cheap,

585
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, look at most of these teams.

586
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: They have the highest paid players. Now, just because you

587
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: have a great player, you still need to build a

588
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: good team. Right. We watched BYU not make it out

589
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: of the first round and lost to Texas. But it's

590
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: not like Texas some low budget operation. I mean, Sarks

591
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: roster reportedly's like fifty million dollars this year. In football,

592
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: they'll promise you this. They're not spending five hundred k

593
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: on their roster. And basketball, he's probably got some dudes,

594
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: got Sean Miller, who's i mean, kind of knows what

595
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: he's doing. I still like the tournament. I enjoy it,

596
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: but a little bit like college football, it's completely changed.

597
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: And this goes back to Colin saying huge advantage nil

598
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: for the Big Ten. It's true Indiana hasn't just thrown

599
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: their hat in the ring. They are a power broker

600
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: because it's like, okay, floodgates are open. We got money,

601
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: and it's not just about brown bagging a guy like

602
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: Nick Saban for twenty five k. So no, I'm gonna

603
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: get that guy two million dollars and I'm gonna give

604
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: this guy in the next seventeen guys nine hundred grand

605
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: and it's all guaranteed and you don't have to worry

606
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: about Like this goes back to a lot of people

607
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: have mentioned this, the car dealership thing, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, State, Oregon.

608
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: They're not dependent on that. And I'm an SEC guy.

609
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm a West Coast SEC guy. But football is gonna

610
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: be difficult. Basketball it's cheaper, so you can compete in

611
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: basketball if you have a lot of money and buy

612
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: the right guys and have the right coach. But the

613
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: one thing basketball does parallel football with there still is

614
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: a chemistry element to the sport. There still is a

615
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: cohesion element to the sport. This isn't baseball where it's

616
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 1: like I'll just buy these three guys, put one at third,

617
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: one at first, and one in center field. That's not

618
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: really how it works. And you see, like I watched

619
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: Saint John's, they play really really well together, like they

620
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: are just they feel like they have a lot of chemistry.

621
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: Last time I checked, they've been playing together for a minute.

622
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: The dude on the team has been there for like

623
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: their main star who's the defensive Player of the year,

624
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: is the MVP of the conference, academic All American, been

625
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: there for like four years. You know kind of matters

626
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: like that still matters in basketball. It still matters in

627
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: football and you can try to buy your way out.

628
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: I watched aj debonsa who looks like the lock number

629
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: one overall pick going there? Who the fuck am I playing?

630
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: With a couple other quick stories for we out of here?

631
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: I saw the Ravens have the highest over under in

632
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: the National Football League. That'd seemed a little bold. You know,

633
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: I get they had a weird season, but I don't know.

634
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 1: You got a brand new coach, you got a first

635
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: time play caller. One thing we're gonna learn this year

636
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: is because there is I think added pressure now on

637
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: this Max Crosby, Trey hendrickson the pick, Like, there's listen,

638
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: the moment they fired Jim Harbor or John harbaughd no

639
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: different than the Bills the moment they hired Sean McDermott.

640
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: Two teams with the most pressure for the new young

641
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: coaches are those two programs. You got Lamar Jackson, you

642
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: got Josh Allen like AFC Championship game or bust which listen,

643
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: like I risk moving firing a guy, but there eighteen

644
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: years you've blown a bunch of games. Like, I totally

645
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: understand it. But the pressure on this organization is pretty immense.

646
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: To me, That over under this goes back to the

647
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow flag football thing. I think it could be

648
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: pretty good. Like if their defense comes together, they have

649
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 1: the tenth overall pick, they hit on a couple draft picks.

650
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals right now would be my choice

651
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: to win the division again, Like I can't have Joe

652
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: Burrow disappearing for three months or breaking or tearing something

653
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: in a flag football game. But if you tell me,

654
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: which is a big if Joe Burrow plays sixteen or

655
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: seventeen of the games, I'm probably in which I also

656
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: saw Florio doing an interview somewhere that the NFL is

657
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: gonna push for eighteen games. But one of the things

658
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: they said, or one idea that's being floated around, is

659
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: you only have to play seventeen or you only play

660
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: seventeen of the eighteen games. It's like, that's the dumbest

661
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: fucking thing I've ever heard. There's no way they're adding

662
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: a game. And Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson or Justin

663
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: Jefferson or whatever, it's like, oh, this is the game

664
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: he sits out like this. Ain't the NBA or BAT

665
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: or baseball like this. There's no just taking games off

666
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: or forced games off like that, that's moronic. Just if

667
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: you're going extra game do the two buys figure this out?

668
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: But that idea is almost too stupid that it's like

669
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: it wants it thrown out there to almost pressure these

670
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: guys to be like, you think, we'll take it a

671
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: day off, We'll agree to this. That's what it feels like,

672
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: which is kind of genius. Can I tell you what

673
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: my friends at Quint's. A well built wardrobe is about

674
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: pieces that work together and hold up over time. I've known,

675
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: as i've aged, I've needed to get some stuff that,

676
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, I can wear to a high level event,

677
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: that I can wear to a nice dinner with my wife.

678
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: Look at me, I'm wearing a cashmere sweater. If you

679
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: would have told me that five years ago, I never

680
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: would have believed you. But that's where my friends at

681
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: Quin's comes in because they work directly with factories and

682
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: they cut out the middleman, so you're not paying for

683
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: brand mark up, just quality clothing. Everything is built to

684
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: hold up to a daily wear and still good season

685
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: after season. This is gonna last me for years. I

686
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: really like it. I'm gonna take the San Francisco for

687
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So here's the thing. Refresh your wardrobe

688
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: with Quints. Go to Quins dot com Slash three and

689

Speaker 1: out for free shipping on your first order in three

690

691
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: Two that's Qui Ncee dot Com Slash the Number three

00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: and out free shipping and three hundred sixty five day

693
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: returns Quins dot Com Slash three and out. Carson Wentz

694
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: to sign back with the Vikings. You see this coming

695
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 1: from mile away. I would say fifty to fifty chance

696
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: JJ's on the roster week one. I would say they

697
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: could probably trade him right now, two years into the contract.

698
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: Fifth someone just uses a project who really liked them

699
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: coming out fifth round pick. But I think at this

700
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: point in time now, I'd be risky having Courson Wentz

701
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray. I mean, both those two guys could

702
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: be injured by October first. But I just we've seen

703
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: this song and dance. You know, we have history of

704
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: the way these guys operate. I'm on talk of Minnesota,

705
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: but just teams and gms like I'm not emotional about this,

706
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: people like you hate. I love it when people are

707
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: like I got this the other day. You hate the

708
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, like guys, I had a future on them

709
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: in August to make the Super Bowl. I have no

710
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: ill will or malice toward any of these organizations. I'll

711
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: be the first to admit, like, I didn't think the

712
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: Caleb Ben Johnson thing would have work. They kind of did,

713
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: you know. I got no problem saying when I was wrong,

714
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: But the JJM and I didn't have a strong take

715
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: about JJ coming out like, It's not like I was

716
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: anti JJ the college prospect. I thought, like, he's like

717
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. It turns out, no, he could not be

718
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. And guess who knows that now the Minnesota

719
00:39:55,160 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: Vikings wind on this one thing that is so evident

720
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, Like you signed Lamar or

721
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen or Joe Burrow or Patrick Mahomes and they

722
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: get injured, Obviously you're in trouble. Right most of the time,

723
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 1: your backup is gonna stink and you're gonna roll out

724
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew or Kyle Allen or whatever. Like that's you're

725
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: all in. It's back to the thing that Tom Moore

726
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: told John Gruden when John Gruden was doing Monday Night

727
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: Football and did a Colts practice and looked at Tom

728
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: Moore and says, why is Peyton Manning? Like, why does

729
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning take every single rep? Or why doesn't the

730
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: backup get any reps just to like just in case.

731
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: And he said, because if Peyton Manning goes out, we're

732
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: fucked and we don't practice fucked Like I get that.

733
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: And when you have a superstar quarterback, it is what

734
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: it is. Even the year. I know everyone likes to say,

735
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: well Belichick went eleven and six with Matt Castle. They

736
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs. Now, freaky Dolphins, whatever, but still

737
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: they missed the left. Ultimately, point is this, if you're

738
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: going to pay a quarterback, his floor better be And

739
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: I'm not talking this version of Cousins, but the guy

740
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: in Minnesota that's got to be like the worst version.

741
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: It's gotta be Dak Jared Goff like kind of that world, right, Purty,

742
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean somewhere seven to thirteen. If this guy's floor

743
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: can be in the twenties, you're going to regret it dramatically.

744
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: And I saw this headline that the Jets are paying

745
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields a combined fifty million dollars

746
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: in dead cap space. Obviously, the Aaron Rodgers thing was

747
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: mismanagement injury. He's an all time great quarterback. But we

748
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: all had the same reaction when they gave Justin Fields

749
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: two years forty million dollars. That's the craziest thing I've

750
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: ever seen, and no different than when they gave two

751
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars. You're like what, Or

752
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: when Kyler Murray's agent was like threatening the Arizona Cardinals

753
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: saying they don't want to win, It's like, no, we

754
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: just don't want to pay your quarterback yet. And somehow

755
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: they capitulated, and the agent and the quarterback got filthy rich.

756
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: And not only they regret it, it's been a disaster since.

757
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: And Jonathan Gannon and got run out of town, so

758
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: did Kingsbury, so did Steve Kayle, and so will Monty

759
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: Austin for more than likely, because that's what poor quarterback

760
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: contracts do. They get every single person fired. And you know,

761
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: cousins that go round with Atlanta got everyone fired. You

762
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: can't give a guy one hundred million dollars who can't play.

763
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: That was that was insane. It was insane at the

764
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: time and an age even worse. So I think it

765
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: shows you even when you give the Jordan Love, the

766
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: brock Purty, the Dak who obviously you're paying a premium,

767
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: you don't feel great because at the end of the day,

768
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, my best player is uh think

769
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: about it like basketball terms, like, oh, Jalen Brunson, Yeah,

770
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: he's awesome, He's been a great nick.

771
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 3: But would I rather have Jokic? Would I rather have

772
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 3: like uh, Luca? Would I rather have like Steph Curry

773
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 3: or Lebron in his prime or Kevin Durant in is prime.

774
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 3: Like I mean, there are.

775
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: Levels to it. So it's like, yeah, you pay Dak Prescott,

776
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: you oh well, damn good, we can make the playoffs.

777
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: But I'd rather have some of these other guys. That's

778
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: part of the business. But if you're ever like this

779
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: seems crazy, you probably shouldn't do the deal. Like there

780
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: is some common sense to some of this, and I

781
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: do wonder if it's gonna shift back dramatically, and we've seen,

782
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think the Sam Darnold contract, the Baker

783
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: Mayfield contract, like some guys are just worth twenty five

784
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars. Some guys are worth eighteen million dollars.

785
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: It's my thing with Daniel Jones, like, why can't you

786
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: sign him like two years forty million dollars? Why can't

787
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 1: he the Justin Fields contract somehow? And listen, I give

788
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of respect to Daniel Jones his management team

789
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: because they dominate negotiations. They basically said bend over and

790
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard's like what, He's like, no, we're gonna win this,

791
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose this, and they did. I mean they

792
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: always do so. Uh. I just some of these quarterback contracts.

793
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: I've gotten a lot of people fired that they really

794
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: have because it's one thing like you fire a coach,

795
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: who usually hires the coach the owner. Like no coach

796
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 1: has ever been hired without the owner not only probably

797
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: wanting him, but signing off on it. It's why when

798
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: wood he came back, Saul was fired. Now he wasn't

799
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: doing well, but he didn't hire him. So it's like

800
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: that's why they Aaron Glenn thing like it's kind of

801
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: getting weird because it's Woody's guy. Wood He picked them.

802
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: But with players like owners, these guys don't know football lingo.

803
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 1: They don't watch film. They're fucking on a yacht, hanging

804
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 1: out as with the new giants hanging with Epstein. It's

805
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: just it's a fact. I'm not even taking personal jabs here.

806
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: This is a reality. Uh. I just think that gotta

807
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: be careful and you better know, you better be right.

808
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 2: The volume

809
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: M hm
