00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast. This one's for John. Welcome

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Kansas. I'm in a room with

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: just one hero, but it's a good one. It's one

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: of my favorite heroes. Easily Top three. Yeah, so I

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: barely cracked the top three. You know that. That's Greg Rose.

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: What's up, Ella, I'm not I'm not used to being

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: the only person in here, so I jumped into your

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: introduction before you know there are no rules because and

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: you know I've said this before. I always love when

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: we have a new combination, when you've done a show

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: like we've done what six seven hundred episodes, to have

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: a new combo in the studio, it's never been the

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: Dan and Gregg show. I don't think this is the

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: first in the in knowing in the listeners don't know.

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: But I know that the loose cannon Erica tam Posey

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: is back behind the glass. Another little flavor to it.

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: This is a new this is a new group, a

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: bit of an edge to this show. And I like it.

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, befitting um the unusual nature of

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: today's program. Greg and I, if you know our show well,

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: if you've seen our video hits or photos on Twitter,

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: we sit on the same side of the table that

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: that kind of it's like a boomerang shape, and neither

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: of us wanted to move to the other side. A

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: little bit of stubbornness or just superstition. I don't set

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: up my headphones over on the other side. So she

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: was right, and I would do that, and I would

29
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: be the logical one to move, but I don't want

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: to know. Well, there's two ways to look at it.

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Either you should move because this is the host spot

32
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here, or you were in the studio first,

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: and since you are already sitting on this side, I

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: should have moved over. But what it came down to,

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: and I think it's a good maybe measure or indication

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: of our personalities. Neither of us are moving. That was

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: the decision that was made. No, I don't want to

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: feel when I said over there feel strange. So we're

39
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna be comfortable. It's a two man show. Yes, we

40
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: had a two man show on Friday, me and Cessler.

41
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: We did it Mike and the Mad Dog style. I

42
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: was a little surprised that today was a two man show.

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: I maybe he should have known, but I didn't process

44
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: that West was still going to be traveling back from

45
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Tybee Mark. He did it again, found his way out

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: of the studio during the off season. He's on vacation,

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: and we hope he's really enjoying it. He's certainly not

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: listening to our show, and I wouldn't expect him to

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: UM and so try to find maybe some somebody that

50
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: want to jump in, but on short notice, couldn't make

51
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: it happen. So it's you and me, Greg, and I'm excited.

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm loving it. And and because of all these cancelations

53
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: I've heard, there's you know, a surprise at the end

54
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: of the show that loose cannon might be a part of.

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: There's some buzz how about that can? How about them apples?

56
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: I like it. I like the cannon still here, you know,

57
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's the whole thing. Uh. And I like

58
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: uh that We have a lot to get to on

59
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: today's show, including some super Bowl venue pop. Where's the

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: super Bowl gonna be held? Everybody likes to talk about that. Um,

61
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: some interesting richie incognito news that Greg deserves a little

62
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: pop himself for predicting accurately before it happened, Johnny Football update,

63
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna bring it back segment from last year.

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna make some tired storylines disappear, kind of storylines

65
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: that have been active narrative threads, uh since the Super

66
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: Bowl heading into the summer months, and Greg and I

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: will trade a couple of storylines. We just like to say,

68
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, go away. That's it. We don't need it anymore.

69
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: We're done. How is Tybee? By the way, Tyby is amazing? Yeah,

70
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: tell me about it. I mean, first of all, that's

71
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: what it sounded like, not at all. Somehow that's something

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: Tybee isn't place. I'm yes, because I'm part of type.

73
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean, tell us about this. Like there's a guy.

74
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: There was a guy we met at the bar, one

75
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: of the Knights, huck A Poo's Joel, whose prime job

76
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: it seems to be, is he just he just decides,

77
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: he tells people you're not you're not you're Tybee, you're

78
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: not Tyby. He decides if that person is Tybee or not.

79
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: That's kind of his his phrases. But basically, but my

80
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: point is, he said no, he didn't. I tried to

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: fill the tables and tell him, tell him that I

82
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: was Tybee before he even had a chance. Well do

83
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: you think he didn't say anything? He didn't say anything

84
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: about that, but he he was a star. I loved it.

85
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: The time sort of stopped while we were there. Uh.

86
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: Shout out to the Karaine brothers, who were big stars

87
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: of the weekend they made. I don't know if you

88
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: mentioned on Friday's show, but the Fantasy Land podcast about

89
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: Chris Westling's recovery uh from cancer, which is unbelievably well done.

90
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: Two of the guys that made it, brothers were down

91
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: there for the weekend. They added a lot to them, which,

92
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: by the way, is very Westling too, and we've talked

93
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: about it before. Totally different than me, just like West

94
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: going public with his cancer battle and everything makes West

95
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: a lot different than me. But West being like, Hey,

96
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: these guys that I talked to a lot for this project,

97
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't really know them personally, but come on down

98
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: to my very personal sanctuary and Tybee and let's have

99
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: a weekend together. That's very west and uh, it makes

100
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: him that type of it. There was one one of

101
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: them was named average average Hair and the other one

102
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: was named fancy Hair or something. Nice hair. He's named

103
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: by Nick Westling, who was another Star of the week.

104
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: And it was just like people. You know. We we

105
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: spent much of the weekend and I think I mentioned

106
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: it on Friday at Rosie and Wayne was a house.

107
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: We stayed at their their garage bar, which is like

108
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: the cheers of garage bars. And just basically it felt

109
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: like the entire island is walking by and stopping by,

110
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: and I got a I got the spin going and

111
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: cornhole now was a productor you know how I thought

112
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: about you guys hanging up on me after we didn't

113
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: hang up, you hung up on us. Why would we

114
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: hang up on you? We asked the question to you,

115
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: I believe or west and we got hung up on

116
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: if Lindsay was not with us this week, but if

117
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: she was here, she would tell you that's exactly a

118
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: transpired Okay it well it cut out all right, So

119
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: it sounds like a successful trip. How was the big

120
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: Fish having Silva? He was great, he was He added

121
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: a lot to the weekend too. It was fun. I mean,

122
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: in all seriousness, it was one of the most joyous

123
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: sort of just I felt like I was cheating life.

124
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: To use a damna check expression that we were just

125
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: getting away there for three or four days. Well, you

126
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: can't ask for anything more than that. Let's do some

127
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: news and this guy, Jim Glass is glass to bring

128
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: this up. You know, I don't even want to dive

129
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: into this. I mean, he said it on our podcast.

130
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: Kind of became a bit but now it's like, I've

131
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: got beef with this Jim Glass guy, and I'm a

132
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: little worried if we go back there for the Super Bowl.

133
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: You know what could happen between me and Jim Glass,

134
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: Like if we end up going there, whether he's going

135
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: to be upset. Wow, I like this Jim Glass a listener.

Speaker 1: aired on the podcast, he wasn't there at Huckapoos the

00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: four and fifty five anyway. So the Sports Business journal

143

Speaker 1: Daniel Kaplan reports NFL plans to award the Super Bowl

144
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: to Glendale, Arizona. And you ray remember the Arizona site

145
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: being the home of Super Bowl forty nine and the

146
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: famous Malcolm Butler interception. So that was just a few

147
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: years ago. But they are already in the queue for another,

148

Speaker 1: UH big game and the year after finally, at long last,

149
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl will make a return to New Orleans. UH.

150
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: And it has not been there since Super Bowl forty seven,

151
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: which was five years ago. Now, Ravens, this will be

152
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: fifty seven. And so my my that those are the numbers.

153
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah it sounded low, but I didn't know how low. Yeah,

154
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: that's too long in between super Bowls for New Orleans

155
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: and you let Arizona pass them. But I shouldn't. I

156
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: guess I shouldn't be upset because the ultimate answer here

157
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: is that New Orleans is getting another. I think they

158
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: should have one every three years or so. But this

159
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: gives me another big goal. When I started at the NFL,

160
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: my first goal was to make it to that Super Bowl.

161
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: That was a couple of years and my now my

162
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: next goal, make it. Can we do it? Well, that's

163
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: something to shoot for. Maybe they ended up because famously

164
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: the last Super Bowl in New Orleans had the power outage,

165
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: which was unprecedented, and if you were at the game,

166
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: as you and I were. Uh, it was my father

167
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: went to his first Super Bowl. He was sitting next

168
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: to Simone Sessler, Mark's wife when the lights went off.

169
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: I will never forget the fear that there was potentially

170
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: a terrorist attack. That was scary as hell. I remember,

171
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: and uh and a lot of other people felt the

172
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: same thing. It was not, thankfully. My guess is maybe

173
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: a little tenure penalty and maybe energy energy, that's the

174
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: that's the power coming. And I was thinking the same thing.

175
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: Who is the most influential, powerful, well known owner in

176
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: the NFL, maybe outside Robert Kraft, Jerry Jones. Uh, they

177
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: had the Super Bowl in the two thousand and ten

178
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: season did not go well, there were some issues, and

179
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: now we're going to go on up to what fifteen

180
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: years at least. I don't know if they're getting back

181
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: to Dallas. That they got the draft is maybe like

182
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: this is what you get now. But that's to me,

183
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: is really telling that Jerald World, which was the most

184
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: celebrated new stadium ever in the NFL, got that game

185
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: and not a peep about it. Since one of the

186
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: thought about the Super Bowl, we no longer have the

187
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: bidding process, Remember how fund that would be the super

188
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: Bowl committees. There would always be Super Bowl committees. You

189
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: would see him that when you go to the Super Bowl,

190
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: it would be for the next year petitioning or um

191
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: trying to pump up their city getting it, and then

192
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: NFL coverage would have the conference room with all the

193
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: with the whites would be there with the red beans

194
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: and rice out or something like that for the next year.

195
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: Remember the whites. It was a lot of yeah, a

196
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: lot of whites crying sometimes of excitement. It was a

197
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: lot of celebration. Yeah, I remember they got rid of that.

198
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: They changed the Minnesota. That was the one that stuck

199
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: out to me was when Minnesota wanted and what I

200
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: thought that at the time, it sounded like an upset.

201
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: It shouldn't have been, because I guess every new stadium

202
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: gets it, but Minnesota winning it over New Orleans and

203
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: going crazy, right, And now, basically, the NFL targets a

204
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: site city and then they have to hit I guess

205
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: whatever UM benchmarks to make it happen, and they go

206
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: into a negotiation. So anyway, there you go, and UM Nashville.

207
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: Another report expected to land the twenty nineteen draft, which

208
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: is interesting Greg because first of all, that's a home run.

209
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: Maybe we got to get back to the draft. And

210
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: number two, they used that uniform the uniform release where

211
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: they um, you know, show They had a big stage

212
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: set up in the downtown area, waited for the sun

213
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: to go down to make it as dramatic as possible,

214
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: and then revealed the new uniforms of the season. They

215
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: basically used that as their pitch for the draft because

216
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: they got the whole city square filled with thousands of

217
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: people and it looked like a total party. And uh

218
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: apparently that made a big impression with the NFL. Nashville

219
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: expected to get the Lakisha. The Paramore and Chris have

220
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: been enjoying this offseason. This was this trip to Tybee

221
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: was almost kind of the centerpiece of them having fun.

222
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: But one of their trips was to Nashville. No one's

223
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: ever been in Nashville and said they had a bad time.

224
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: That's true. I've never been. I'm looking forward. I've never been.

225
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: This is one of those events that they promised you

226
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: go to Erica, right and then they don't let you

227
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: at the last minute. No, I actually got to go

228
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: to Dallas. I did go to dos she did, but Nashville,

229
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: Sweet if I'm still a lot by then. She was

230
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: belly aching about not going to the super Bowl right

231
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: when we're all going to go to Disney World, I

232
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: mean Orlando for Orlando. So so yeah, like your first

233
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: year at the NFL, you got to go to the

234
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl, the draft, uh, in the combine, but you're just,

235
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, bitching about the one thing you couldn't get

236
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: it Yet it all checks out, you can. We want

237
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: you to make it to New Orleans. What are you

238
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: going to be doing? I might not even be alive

239
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: by then. You're talking to the next Marty scor C's.

240
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: She does not want to be here. In moving on,

241
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: the NFL will not discipline the Lions or their head coach,

242
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia following that sexual assault accusation in Texas that

243
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: stem from a nine case that involved Patricia and a

244
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: fellow fraternity member. It resurfaced after I Think what Detroit

245
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: News expose which led to a comfortable Matt Patricia press

246
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: conference and the team publicly standing behind their new head coach.

247
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: And now the league comes out and announced that the

248
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: club quote engaged in appropriate and thorough hiring practices and

249
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: that the coach did not mislead the team during the

250
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: interview process. Brian McCarthy, U League spokesman said in a

251
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: statement to NFL Networks Tom Pallasero, So barring Greg, any

252
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: other um news or any other type of events coming

253
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: into focus here, it looks like the Lions will move

254
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: on from this unfortunate situation. They will, and I think

255
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: it remains to be seen how and if this will

256
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: come up more because you know, the players haven't you know,

257
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: really met with the media. They're all gonna be asked

258
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: about it, and and some players have and a couple

259
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: of them have had interesting answers, not just open mind,

260
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: just saying that they're open minded. They're not making any

261
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: judgments one way or another, which is in you know,

262
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: an interesting thing. This is a team meeting their head

263
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: coach essentially for the first time, and this is something

264
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: that he had to do, is get in front of

265
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: him really for it might have been just about the

266
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: first time that he had them all as a group

267
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: and addressed this. It's a very uncomfortable, to put it mildly,

268
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: way to get introduced to the team. But I think

269
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: your read on it is right that the Lions in

270
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: the NFL are trying to say that's it and unless

271
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: something else comes out, I don't know what more they're

272
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: gonna do. Uh. In other news, Greg, you had this

273
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: Richie Incognito. Uh, I guess a few weeks back, um

274
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: ad tweeted to his lay tweeted to his agency too,

275
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: that's interesting that he was done and he was firing

276
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: them and uh, which led to Lashawn McCoy's Instagram post

277
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: and then a bunch of reports that Incognito was through

278
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: as a football player after a pretty successful but controversial career, Greg,

279
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: you were never really buying it and uh. When the

280
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: Bills announced that they were formally releasing the guard, that

281
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: led to another kind of like huh. And then Adam

282
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: Schefter reported that Incognito told the Bills he wants to unretire,

283
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: per a source, which is why Buffalo released him from

284
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: its reserve retired list. Uh. So to both sides, moving

285
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: on and Richie Incognito hopes to play somewhere else this

286
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: year and he will, Greg, because everyone needs offensive line help.

287
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: And even at an advanced age, I think incognitos thirty

288
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: two or thirty three now, the man can ball on

289
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: the interior line. His best years of his career were

290
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: in Buffalo the last few years, and his whole retirement

291
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: stuff always sounded strange because it very much had to

292
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: do with him trying to negotiate, you know, a raise

293
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: or take as little of a PA cup as possible,

294
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: and that was going back and forth and that didn't

295
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: work out. But in the end, you know, good guys.

296
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: I guess you know, good things happen to good guys

297
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: because he'll w we end up making more money as

298
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: a free agent. I have a feeling than he even

299
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: was going to make with the Bills. Are you allowed

300
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: to do this? Then? I guess Brett Farve did it.

301
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: But you can just even if you're under contract with

302
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: the team. He could just be like, I'm retiring, and

303
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: then the team has no choice but to release you,

304
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: and then that ends the contract and he gets to

305
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: sign somewhere else. I think he did have it. He did,

306
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: They did have a choice. So what happened and I

307
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: should get it right. I'm going to talk about it.

308
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: He reworked his contract with the Bills, essentially taking a

309
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: pay cut, and then he seemed to have immediate buyer's

310
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: remorse about it. Fired his agents over Twitter tried to

311
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: like get back to the negotiation. Basically was just becoming

312
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: a pain in the ass. And I think he just

313
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: says he wanted They just decided he wasn't worth the trouble.

314
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: They couldn't give him any more money because they had

315
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: already reworked his contract. Was literally against the rules to

316
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: do another contract right after you just did it. And

317
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, who knows what he's like behind the scenes

318
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: or what, and they just decided to forget it. I mean,

319
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: I get all that. They're also a team that has

320
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: maybe the worst offensive line in the league now because

321
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: they've had all these defections and retirements and fake retirements.

322
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: They certainly could use a guy like him with Josh

323
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: Allen if he ends up playing this year. But the

324
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: stress was killing him and he was absolutely about the

325
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: changing his mind about retirement. This was only a month ago.

326
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: What about his kidneys were shutting down? Like in all

327
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: seriousness though, like he floats that out there to justify

328
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: his retirement and now he comes out of retirement, teams

329
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: a little buyer beware. This guy literally just told us

330
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: buyer beware about my kidneys might be failing. After that

331
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: weekend in Tybee Booze a little bit long days, some

332
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: long days for you. Where are you drinking so wine

333
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: early on that little more low glass. It's a lot

334
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: of wine, to be honest, because I just felt like

335
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: that's the way to kind of cruise, cruise through the day,

336
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: at least for me. Did you get any peak West

337
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: where you know, Les, it's just like completely out of

338
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: control at the end of the night. No, West, West

339
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: was in a great in a great place I've never seen.

340
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen West laugh and crack. I

341
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: mean his friends in Tybee they're all hilarious, So that's

342
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: his happy It was my happy place. I mean, I'm

343
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: not kidding. I had an unbelievable time, but yeah, it

344
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: was his happy place. He was cracking up the whole

345
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: We were randomly talking about Adam Sandler's career before the show,

346
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: and uh and happy Gilmore Chubbs, his mentor tells happy

347
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: when he's trying to put to go to his happy place.

348
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: And then the happy place would have like Gene Simmons,

349
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: his grandmother, a little person on a tricycle. West is

350
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: happy place would be all those things. But in the

351
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: middle of huckapoos, right Hey, Johnny Manzel he's actually making

352
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: a go with us. He's returning to pro football. The

353
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: former Brown's quarterback signed a two year contract with the

354
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: Hamilton's Tiger Cats of the CFL. That's the Canadian Football League.

355
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: The team announced it UH and UH the Tiger Cats

356
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: if you may, you may recall health Man's Zell's exclusive rights.

357
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: They're always considered the best option back to football for

358
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: the former first round pick that Manzel tweeted, made the

359
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: decision today to sign my contract with the CFL and

360
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: further my football career after a long break. Very grateful

361
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: for everyone that's been supporting me along the way. I

362
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: believe this is the best opportunity for me moving forward,

363
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: and I'm eager for what the huge future holds. And

364
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: I have to say, Greg my takeaway on this is,

365
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: first of all, I have a bit of a sessler.

366
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: We haven't seen the last of Johnny Manziel in this league.

367
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: I just have a bit of a sessler about it.

368
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: And the only way it was ever gonna happen was

369
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: starting at this point. He was not probably not going

370
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: to get another job, even though his agent would float

371
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: uh combine rumors every March that teams were interested, but

372
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: now this show's teams that he's interested. He's serious about this.

373
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: He's going to Canada and and it is a popular

374
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: league up there, but it's not the NFL. It takes

375
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: him away from friends and family. He says he's cleaned

376
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: up his life. If he goes up there in balls, well,

377
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: maybe makes sense some in the NFL A year from

378
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: now or two years from now, I would predict against it.

379
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: I would take the field. I I don't. I don't

380
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: expect him to succeed like I don't necessarily. I bet

381
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: he's going to rip it up. That's I have no idea.

382
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: I have no idea, to be clear, but I do

383
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: know I've seen former NFL quarterbacks go up to the

384
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: CFL and doesn't mean you just are good. It's a

385
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: different game. It's a very competitive game. There's no I

386
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect him to be the best quarterback on his team,

387
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: just based on kind of what we saw at the

388
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: NFL level. There's a little bit of that uh D

389
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: league that he played in this this offseason that wasn't

390
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: too impressive. Wasn't coming. It was ridiculous. It was he

391
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: is making half as much money as old former Old

392
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: Miss quarterback Jeremiah Massolis. So that tells me a lot.

393
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: I always say, look to the money. Sticks is like

394
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: secret identities. I don't know about how good missile is.

395
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: He he is is the incumbent starter. He also he

396
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: received a signing bonus which was as much as Johnny

397
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: Manzel's entire salary. And I've watched the CFL before, and

398
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: it's a real it's a real league, like it's a

399
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: real thing. That's it's a different sport, but it's very

400
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: competitive and it's very difficult. And I guess from what

401
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: I've seen, I kind of figure that the guys who

402
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: have figured out how to play CFL quarterback are gonna

403
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: be very far ahead of Johnny Manziel and if he

404
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: wants to stick with it for a while and he

405
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: like works his way up, but like to me, he's

406
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: gonna have to work his way up to being to

407
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: matter it in the CFL, and then he'd have to

408
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: work up. I get it. I get how that's all

409
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: that's all work. And I'm not insinuating that the CFL

410
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: is like Pop Warner Football or anything. I'm sure it's

411
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: a high level brand of football, maybe the closest thing

412
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: to the NFL. That isn't the NFL. Uh, we'll see.

413
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: He's still just twenty five, hasn't played professional football like

414
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: three years. I guess I was making the point because

415
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: I think people see that and they're just assuming, like, Okay,

416
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: Johnny Manzel is the starter. Johnny Manzel is the most

417
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: famous player in the league, like the highest paid player

418
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: in league or whatever. It's like, No, it's all gonna happen.

419
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: He's going in as the backup. There's been some NFL

420
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: bus that have gone up there and have not done

421
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: a lot. Um get off his d bro are you.

422
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm just saying we didn't see much that that D

423
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: League game scared me. I get um get I get

424
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: it all right. A terrible, terrible tragedy. Last Friday, a

425
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: seventeen year old high school student opened fire on his

426
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: classmates at a Santa Fe at Santa Fe High School

427
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: outside Houston, killing ten people injuring others, and um, you know,

428
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: just the latest insanity involving gun violence and schools in

429
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: our country. It is a major, major problem and it's

430
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: terrible and it sucks. And Houston Texans defensive end JJ

431
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: what who as you may recall, uh raised what tens

432
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars or over ten million dollars. I

433
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 1: wish I had the exact figure. After the hurricane hit

434
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: the Houston area UM last year and ended up being

435
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: the NFL Man of the Year because of it, and

436
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: it was it showed how what is a guy that

437
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: he's more than just a football player and he knows

438
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: how to use his stature in professional sports for good

439
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: and he's doing it again here after this horrible tragedy

440
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: in Texas. What Uh told the school that he will

441
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: personally cover the funeral expenses for the victims of the tragedy,

442
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: and he tweeted about it, um calling it absolutely horrific

443
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: and UM good for J. J. Watt, he's real, dude.

444
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: Thirty seven million dollars he he raised UH for people

445
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: after Hurricane Harvey last fall. Yeah, I wish, I wish

446
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: you didn't have to be in the news for this.

447
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: It is great. It is great what he's doing. It's

448
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: such a depressing story that we're so used to, but

449
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: you're right that it is good to see like athletes

450
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: in J. J. Watt in particular in this case, like

451
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: doing doing something, making something good out of it, and

452
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: by the way more deaths and school shootings in our

453
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: country this year than our armed forces overseas. Slip that

454
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: sink in a little bit. In other news, a little

455
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: bit of a trope alert. It's time to bring back

456
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: the trope alert. Oh it's back. I always found that

457
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: it's a little sexy. Yeah, a little bit a larger,

458
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: a little bit lerr. What do you think, ka, it's

459
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: a nice voice goes on for a really long time.

460
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: So just let me know when you want me now.

461
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you could pull it. You can call it

462
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: running back. Dalvin Cook, who was really shaping up as

463
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,959
Speaker 1: a real hit for the Vikings as a rookie last year,

464
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: he tore his A c L. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer

465
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: told NFL Networks Tom Pellis Arrow that Cook is making

466
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: quote or is making great progress in his rehab from

467
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: a torn a c l uh quote. He's done really well,

468
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: Simmer said. He's ahead of schedule. He's ahead of schedule,

469
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: and we're excited about that. In another trope alert news,

470
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson, according to his new head coach, Bears head

471
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: coach Matt Neggie uh said Robinson following his torn a

472
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: c L he suffered last September, he is quote ahead

473
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: of the game. Greg. At some point in uh in

474
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: our timeline of how professional athletes, in particular football players

475
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: recover from a c L s if everyone is always

476
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule, should we just adjust the schedule so

477
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: no one's ahead of schedule, everyone just on schedule. Maybe

478
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: move up the schedule. This this is kind of becoming

479
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: your thing lately because you were you envisioned in NFL

480
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: where everyone was eight and eight amazing great games. You

481
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: wanted to Yeah, you wanted to adjust sort of the expectations.

482
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's not a one to one comparison here,

483
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: But what does ahead of schedule even mean? At this point?

484
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: What does anything mean? I as a subsection of this

485
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: trope then, and I could do this. Almost have stories

486
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: I want to do away with, but we'll do it.

487
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: I'll do it right now. Is the story he'll be

488
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: ready for training camp. So that's a subsection of of

489
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: every injury update. Basically at Rhoda World is that they're

490
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: expected for training camp. And one thing I learned doing

491
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: Rhoda World is that no one calls out the coaches.

492
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: That actually only about the people that were expected to

493
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: be ready for training camp and then being ready. No

494
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: one cares. It's just you here expect he'll be ready

495
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: for training camp all through May, June, July. You get

496
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: back from your summer break and and they're not ready.

497
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: But no one really remembers what anyone said a couple

498
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: of months because it's just about so there's no alarm

499
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: bells being signaled are sent out at this time of year.

500
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: Nobody wants any alarm bells unless they absolutely have to

501
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: ring them. Uh, all right, and uh, I was thinking

502
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: about that, the eight and eight thing that I had.

503
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: I understand there's a certain level of frustration, the idea

504
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: that if everyone won eight and eight, what's what mattered?

505
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: Nothing matters. Again, It's like, all right, what if it

506
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: just a minor adjustment, Gregg, Every game is a god

507
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: barn burner. I mean, you just want to believe how

508
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: competitive these football games are. Oh and uh, but everyone

509
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: even goes nine and seven or seven and nine. Okay,

510
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: but you can also guarantee that their barn burners every time. Yeah,

511
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: so even the teams that finished seven and nine, their

512
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: season is hanging in the balance in late December, maybe

513
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: a couple of bounces don't go your way. You missed

514
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But guess what next year, probably or maybe

515
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: you'll be on the other side of the ledger and

516
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: you'll be playing playoff football football and for a super Bowl.

517
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: There's not much that college football has over the NFL,

518
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: and my mind basically nothing. Sorry, college football. I know

519
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: your traditions. Okay, the traditions in the game experiences I'll

520
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: give you. I'll give you some lot of college football.

521
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: But the one thing people always say is like every

522
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: week matters in the you know, college college football. It's like,

523
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, you can't. First of all, you can lose

524
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: early in the season and all those teams end up

525
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: winning the title at the end anyways, but they're like

526
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: every every game mat is, like every game is like

527
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: a playoff game because you can't lose more than once.

528
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: But if you basically know that every team is gonna

529
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: go nine and seven or seven and nine, and the

530
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: end of these games and we've learned they're all barn burners. Now,

531
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: now every game really matters. I mean that week one,

532
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, that could be that that could be the difference.

533
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: I mean, the margin of error is just so razor

534
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: then just think about it. World. Finally, in the news

535
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: something that popped up last week, but we'll touch on

536
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: it real quick here. The Carolina Panthers um will be sold.

537
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: It appears, uh they've agreed to sell the team. Uh.

538
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: They being Jerry Richardson, the team's founding owner, to Mr

539
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: David A. Temper, a billionaire hedge fund owner. I don't

540
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: I don't know the hedge fund is. I've heard hedge

541
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: fund used in describing people for like thirty years and

542
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: I still have no idea what it is, but I

543
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: assume it's lucrative wait for rich people to get richer

544
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: by investing in things, you know, and essentially the hedge fund.

545
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: You know, they so you're hedging. No, I don't know

546
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: where they when they say hedge your bets, I don't

547
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: know where the word hedge comes from there, which shows

548
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: my total ignorance and my totally don't tweet this because

549
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: neither of us care anyway, a record setting them out

550
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: at least two point two billion people are listening to

551
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: this to be like, you know, man, they are dumber

552
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: than I thought. Like I know, they sometimes joke around,

553
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: like I know they asked us not to tweet, but

554
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: just like for their general know it was like, you know,

555
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: so that to yeah, divert a little bit just for

556
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: a second. So we had we had the two uh,

557
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: the two guys who made the podcast who are down

558
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: for the weekend the Fantasy Land. Yeah, old, average hair

559
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: and average hair. It was average hair and pretty hair.

560
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: They have real names. To my point was like, so

561
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: they're they're down here. They're these young guys, and I'm

562
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: thinking like, oh, yeah, they're down here on a big

563
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: trip and yeah, they're staying at someone's house. Like it's

564
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: cool that we allow these young guys who probably don't

565
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: make any money or whatever like hang out with cool

566
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, cool guys like and I asked them and

567
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: of course they had like real important jobs and make

568
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: far more money than either one of us. Like one

569
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: of them worked for the SEC and I was like, oh,

570
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: like the SEC West and he's like no, the Security

571
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: Exchange Commission. Oh boy, so they're doing I don't know

572
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: what my point was, it's just you know, we're not

573
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: smart um. Anyway, So that two point two billion figure

574
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: report from the New York Times confirmed by two people

575
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: with knowledge of the deal. Anyway, the only thing left

576
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: to do is h sale needs to be approved by

577
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: at least three quarters of the NFL's owner. And that

578
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: comes uh five months after Jerry Richardson said he would

579
00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: sell the team, uh after an investigation was started by

580
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: the NFL into improper conduct by the owner. So well,

581
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: we'll see if if if him arriving means changes. I

582
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: think Ron Rivera referred to it at the combine this

583
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: year that he admitted to there's a little extra to

584
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: feeling like when you don't have a boss. They didn't

585
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: know who their boss is gonna be. He knows Jerry

586
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: Richardson very well, that's the man who hired him. That

587
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: this season, whoever the new boss is going to be,

588
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: that everyone's going to be feeling a little bit like

589
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: there in triout mode. And I was I was really

590
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: interested to hear Ron Rivera say that, who's made the

591
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: playoffs five years out of six, but it's human nature.

592
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: And he just said the whole organization is going to

593
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,239
Speaker 1: be feeling feeling that way, right. I mean, in our

594
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: own company, we've had forty seven top bosses. At this point,

595
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm kind of figuring I have better job security than

596
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: all the bosses because there's been like seven. But again,

597
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: the common thread here those people also have a lot

598
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: more money than you. Yeah, you have. If you can

599
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: stay at a certain level below, stay out of it.

600
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: That's true. There's something to be said about not being wealthy.

601
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the news. All right, here we go.

602
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: It's mid May. It's almost late May. Now right on

603
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: that bubble, Greg, is it late May? Is it early May?

604
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: But mid May? Who gives it cares? But it's it's

605
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: a time in the NFL calendar where uh Like, if

606
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: you go to our NFL dot com news stack, which

607
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: is just the headlines, you're gonna have um an offensive

608
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: lineman draft pick being predicted by his own coach that

609
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: he could be a pro bowler, or Bobby Wagner saying

610
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: don't sleep on the Seahawks defense. Not a lot of

611
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: hard news out there right now. Uh, And a lot

612
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: of you weren't you weren't fascinated by the Willie rof

613
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: colon Frank rag now is a future pro bowler article

614
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: that was up not hugely not hugely interested in it anyway.

615
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: So the point is there's not a lot of news

616
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: out there right now. So what happens is the same

617
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: storylines kind of get brought up over and over again.

618
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: So this is our our opportunity to kind of rebel

619
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: against those storylines. So let's send some storylines into the

620
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: corn fields, will make them disappear. Last year we did

621
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: this segment. Connor or was sitting in the studio on

622
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: the same day, by the way, cause I listened to

623
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: last year's show just as just because some a pro

624
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: and it just shows them out of work. I put

625
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: into this UM any commins. I just raised my eyebrows.

626
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: That's what I normal. Usually these guys are to react. Uh.

627
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: Connor was sitting in the studios that did the show

628
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: with us. He also did an NFL Network hit in

629
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: which he predicted the Browns would go to the playoffs

630
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: last year. UM shout out to Connor and he predicted

631
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: last year or his the storyline he wanted to make

632
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: disappear Adrian Peterson. Oh, he's gonna be a star in

633
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Nicely done. Connor, WESH wanted to make the

634
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick is getting as being blackballed narrative disappear, which

635
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: is still in play one year later. It's very much

636
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: in play. It's being debated in court right now. The

637
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: old Zeuser UM wanted the storyline that the Bears were

638
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: telling us that Mike Glennon was still someone they believed in.

639
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: He wanted that to disappear. I think that was that

640
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: that turned out to be total b s. Of course,

641
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: as Glennon lasted I think three starts in Chicago and Greg,

642
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: you wanted to make any contract holdout or extension talks

643
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: or anything like that, you make them go away, which

644
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: is probably what's kind of none of it matters till

645
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: training camp. Ye and Mark famously wanted all storylines connected

646
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: to the NFC to just disappear forever. He just was

647
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: not high on the NFC as a conference, and sure

648
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: enough that conference produced the Super Bowl champion. So maybe

649
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: a little egg on Mark's face there, kind of an

650
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: ingenious Marks always looking for, you know, different ways to

651
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: get things off his plate. That gets like sixteen teams

652
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: just gone gone right there. So let's, uh, Greg, let's

653
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: let's make some storylines disappear. Do you want to start

654
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: or what? Alright, I'm gonna I'm gonna start with I

655
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: have I have a few, but but but I'm gonna

656
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: make one that's like the simplest and the dumbest. I

657
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: don't want to hear about anymore Dak friendly offense in Dallas.

658
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: For some reason, every year, certain cities get a storyline

659
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: or a phrase that they're just like once to local

660
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: reporters write about it the other seventy. In this case,

661
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: in Dallas, I feel like they have to write about

662
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: it every day and every every practice, every conversation, every interview,

663
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: everything is all about, well, what are they doing to

664
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: make the the offense more Dak friendly? Which like, is it?

665
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: Isn't that? The isn't the coach? And Scott Linehan, their

666
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, kind of said as much that he was

667
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: annoyed with this whole idea. It's like, what do you

668
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: think we were doing last year? You know what, what

669
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: were we trying to do? You know, he's a great player.

670
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to make them the best. But it's

671
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 1: all about and there's something demeaning about it to Dak

672
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: who I who. I still have a lot of faith

673
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, let's engineer some sort of Dak

674
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: friendly offense and I can. I can just feel like

675
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: after the locals are done with hammering this story into

676
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: the ground for the next two months, then the national

677
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: people come in. You know then we got you know,

678
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: we're we're on live during training camp. The national guys

679
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 1: started doing it in August, so you redo it all over. Yeah,

680
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: And I think it all connects to the underlying UH

681
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: factor that Prescott was not very good last year and

682
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: the I guess you're trying to connect the dots. How

683
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: could that have happened? And there's a lot of reasons,

684
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of it had to do with Ezekiel

685
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: Elliott and also Dallas not having that same dominance, especially

686
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: with time and possession and having everything working in their favor.

687
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: UH during his rookie year. But he had thirteen interceptions,

688
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: he lost three fumbles, he had sixteen turnovers last year.

689
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: He missed guys regularly open receivers. He was not He

690
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: was not the same guy. And he also not for

691
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: nothing is the reason Dak press or as the reason

692
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: Dez Bryan's not there anymore because he had a number

693
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: one receiver that probably really wasn't a number one receiver anymore.

694
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: Ye had Jason Witten. There's a reason Jason Witten's in

695
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: a broadcast booth now because he wasn't really a number

696
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: one tight end anymore. It's always a little surprised that

697
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going with the wide receiver number one

698
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: wide receiver by committee route this season instead of being

699
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: so if you really wanted to be where friendly, don't

700
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 1: have you know, Alan Hearns and Cole Beasley and Terence

701
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: Williams be your top three receivers. Terence Willis you just

702
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: got arrested by the way too. It's just it's just

703
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: the phrase, no more Dak friendly, those two words in

704
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: a row. It's done. Um I, Greg, you know that

705
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: I really want the Patriots the crumble from within. You

706
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: know that Erica behind the glass. You know that as well? Yeah,

707
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: all too well. I think, as I said last year,

708
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: Donald maybe changes the equation. But last year you were

709
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: more into the Patriots than the Jets. They controlled your

710
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: emotions more right, I was. I was emotionally although I

711
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: was as big a Jets fan as I always am,

712
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: but I was a little emotionally disconnected from the Jets

713
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: as being a competitive end tod, So I had to

714
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: turn that passion somewhere. Greg. Anyway, but all this drama

715
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: involving Belichick and Malcolm, Butler and Brady and Gronk, you know,

716
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: it's been catnip for me. I've really enjoyed it, especially

717
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: as a sad Jets fan. Um and I've talked about

718
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: it a lot since the Super Bowl. Basically, anytime we

719
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: have a segment that's probably usually about the Patriots or

720
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: um or for just getting lunch at the huddle. It's

721
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: great fun. I've enjoyed it. It's been what is it,

722
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: schaden freud, schaden freud deutsch lend. But it's time to

723
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: take the foot off the accelerator for two reasons. Number One, uh,

724
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: Brady and Gronk. They're gonna be on the field in

725
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: week one. So any of this talk about oh, is

726
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: Tom gonna be at otis is gonna be at mini camps? Gronk. No,

727
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: Gronk's gonna get some money and he's gonna be fun.

728
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: So those guys are gonna be back. And as long

729
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: as those guys are back, they are not. They are

730
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: not in real peril. And two, and this is the

731
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: most important thing to me, there's no reason to help

732
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots build up the narrative, the war cry that

733
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: everyone said they were done. And let me make this clear,

734
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots are not done. They're not. They'll probably have

735
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: like ten wins by Thanksgiving. I'd be very surprised if

736
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: they were in a final four team come in January,

737
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots. No, it's not the Patriots. I'm being completely

738
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: honest with you, as if someone that's followed the game

739
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,959
Speaker 1: during the entire Brady run, the Patriots are not done.

740
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: And why give the motivation or the source material behind

741
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: Belichick's next cheesy uh slogan you know, no more sleep

742
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Uh. And so let's lose those

743
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: storylines of the Patriots in trouble because ultimately they're not.

744
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: And the only thing more annoying than another fourteen and

745
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: two season and a Super Bowl appearance is Robert Kraft

746
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: standing on some riser with Terry Bradshaw sticking a microphone

747
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: in his face and Craft being like, well, I guess

748
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: they said we couldn't do it New England. We dide

749
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: it's like enough, just take your fourteen and two would

750
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: be happy. What do you think about that? Damn posey uh?

751
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: I have a lot of thoughts about that, actually, but

752
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: I'm i'm I think you're on the right. I like

753
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: what you're saying. I agree. I think you're trying to

754
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: do some sort of mental voodoo gymnastics here, but I'm

755
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: not gonna fall for the Patriots. Patriots wouldn't fall for

756
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: because they're gonna use all these slights they've got. Chris

757
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: Wesley on tape saying everyone, everyone, no one's gonna pick

758
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: them going into this season. It's funny. I I remember

759
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: being in this very studio last year, and I always said,

760
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: like the years where everyone agrees the Patriots that's their year,

761
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: that's almost never the year they actually win it. That

762
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: was what I was saying last year going into it,

763
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: because last year this time, everyone thought they were just

764
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: going to kill and they were and they were great.

765
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: It's not like they were they they were close and

766
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: three and almost wanted had a sour ending though that

767
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: is so our name. But this time I can smell it.

768
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: Some people gonna pick the Steelers, some will pick the Jags,

769
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, some of you know sprinkling you guys and

770
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: prizes and uh I like this alright. No. My point

771
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: is though, I'm not no voodoo, just there's no don't

772
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: waste your time because everything's come November, it'll be Thanksgiving,

773
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: they'll be ten and one and they'll be like, oh okay,

774
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: that was That was gonna be one of my get this,

775
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: get this off field Patriots stories out of here. I'm

776
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: sick of them. Ah. I just want to kill all

777
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: organized team activity in mini camp evaluations period. I don't

778
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: want to hear an opinion on anything that happened on

779
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: the field for the next month. So that is very specific.

780
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:49,479
Speaker 1: We'd speaking on May one, Monday, for what most teams,

781
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: A lot of teams, this is the first week. It's

782
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: called phase three of O t A S where you're

783
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: on the field and you're actually kind of playing football.

784
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear anyone say that he looked good,

785
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: he's making a move, he looks great. It has so

786
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: little to do with football. I know people have kind

787
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: of made this point, but it really is true, and

788
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: people forget it, like they're not tackling their in shorts.

789
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: It's just this sort of practice session. I mean, it's

790
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 1: it's a learning It's like going to the classroom. That's

791
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: how Belichick says. It's all about classroom and teaching. And

792
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: there's such a concentration on this sport year round that

793
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: people it's gonna be there's gonna be sleepers and busts

794
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: and risers and follers for fantasy based on what happens

795
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: the next month, and none of it matters. You get

796
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: to wait till training camp, so you get rid of

797
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: all your evaluations. And I'm watching you. I like it.

798
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm totally on board with that. And uh, it did

799
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 1: remind me of when the reporter asked Jets coach Todd

800
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: Bowls about Sam Donald's first ever practice. His response, he

801
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: was great right now, that was Bowls is unknown before

802
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: that moment, sense of sense of humor, saying like everybody relaxed.

803
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing to take away at this point, and and

804
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 1: whatever you take away, you just you don't know whatever

805
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: what any of it's gonna mean. The running game, in

806
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: the offensive line, the defensive line, forget it. You know

807
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: someone's a phony if if they're giving hot takes about

808
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: those positions. But even even the pastors and everything, you

809
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: don't know who the same players that sometimes look good

810
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 1: in these shorts won't look very good in aus Oh.

811
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: The players always look good in their shorts though, right right,

812
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean not all of them now, I mean, anyway,

813
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: my uh, that was weird, uh saying you know you're

814
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: you're making it sound like every one of these guys

815
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: is like I guess Richard is an example, probably not

816
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: looking like super hot pair of shorts. There's a few

817
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: monster it's the regular. It's like the normal population. You're

818
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: gonna have a few crab apples, crab apples, a lot

819
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: of nice calves, That's what I'm saying. Um, Finally, I

820
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: would like to this is a time this this one

821
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: really was on my radar last night while I was

822
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: watching another sport. So any general story storylines pretending the

823
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 1: NFL's demise and all you meet, you media pundits out there,

824
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: you're you all grade the NFL on a on a curve,

825
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: and it's never one that benefits what's the country's most

826
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: popular sport. And what would happen if the NFL rolled

827
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: out blowouts throughout January at the frequency we're seeing, uh

828
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: in the NBA this month, just unwatchable games in the

829
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs. This NBA that's great, held as like this

830
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: modern paragon for what professional sports league should be in

831
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: the twenty century, and meanwhile, we're having games in the

832
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: NBA that are just out of control. This being via

833
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: the Washington Post. Over the fifteen conference final games played

834
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: last season. In this season in the NBA, seven were

835
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: decided by at least twenty points, five of them were

836
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: at least thirty point blowout, and two margins of victory

837
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: top forty points. Including that absurd Rockets Warriors game on Sunday.

838
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: Only two games were decided by single digits. The average

839
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: margin of victory in those fifteen games has been twenty

840
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: point nine points. And it's like, oh, well, you know

841
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: in the conference respective conferences sometimes mismatches happened. Well, you

842
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: go to the NBA Finals, that's been bad too. Three

843
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: of the five games between the Warriors and Calves last

844
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: year were decided by at least nineteen points, average margin

845
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: of victory fifteen point two. The ratings are great in

846
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: the NBA. They were just as good or if not

847
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: better than ever. Uh And what's helped the NBA is

848
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: that no one in the media is going nuts every

849
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: time something critical or negative is happening in that league.

850
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: What about the tanking in the NBA, can you imagine,

851
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: I know, the scam for Sam and all that stuff like,

852
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: but that was mostly ingest by everyone because NFL, the

853
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: way that these coaches are hard wired is to to

854
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: win games. That's why you see teams blow it in

855
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: week sixteen, weeks seventeen every year, and that's why you

856
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: see starting quarterbacks stay in the line up in guys

857
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: played at the end of the year. Typically in the NBA,

858
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: these rosters. You check out the Knicks roster by the

859
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: end of the season unrecognizable. And and they got the

860
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: ninth pick. They got the ninth pick the Knicks and

861
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: they tanked for three months. What do you think that

862
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: says about all the teams that finished behind them? Anyway,

863
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: my point is what if that happened in the NFL.

864
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 1: There would be Dan Shaughnessy would jump off the Green

865
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: Monster if the NFL was having these type of issues.

866
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: And I just want everybody to calm down. I know

867
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: the NFL is not a perfect animal. I know there

868
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: are issues, their concerns about the health, uh issues with

869
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: the game there. They don't get everything right, not by

870
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: a long shot. But everybody should get the similar treatment.

871
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: If you're gonna hold the NFL up to such a

872
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: strict standard in the media, the other leagues, including the NBA,

873
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: should get the same thing. Yeah, I mean, it reminds

874
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: me there was a few years ago when we kept

875
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: having blots in the playoffs, and people were nuts in

876
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: terms of the NFL and and people were nuts. And

877
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: I think with the NBA, obviously it's it's in a

878
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: great place and it's just kind of cyclical, uh, you know,

879
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: in terms of these blots, although it does seem like

880
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 1: maybe teams are kind of punching it in a little

881
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: bit when they're on the road. If it's they're all

882
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: it's always in the first quarter and it's like, let's

883
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: live to get back to our home court. But to

884
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: your point, as great as those ratings are, it's not

885
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: like the you know, sniff a regular season Thursday night

886
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: NFL game and that's fine. Like, I don't know why

887
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: why it's become such a focus. People are so obsessed

888
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: with ratings and like what's up and what's down? Hey,

889
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 1: news slash basketball, football, baseball too. They're all make they're

890
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: all printing money right now. They're all doing great, like

891
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: they really are. I mean, look at the Panthers. Are

892
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,959
Speaker 1: there what market in the NFL and they just sold

893
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: for two point two billion dollars. So every one of

894
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: these owners that own you know, they know they're holding

895
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: a ticket for whatever they bought their team. It's doubled

896
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: in the last five years practically. I mean, if the

897
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: Panthers are going for two point four billion and the

898
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: Bills were one point six just a couple of years ago.

899
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: It's like all of these teams in baseball and clude

900
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: like even baseball, which gets made fun of in Basketball's

901
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: like all these teams are making money. They're all making deals.

902
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football sold to Fox for more than the

903
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: previous Thursday Night for how many I'm not feeling bad

904
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 1: for any of them. How many overall think pieces have

905
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: been written about Thursday Night Football, the quality of the

906
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: games and all that, Like I don't and I'm with you.

907
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: All right, that's it, Um, there you go. Those are

908
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: some storylines we want to make disappear, but they won't disappear, Greg,

909
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: And that's the most annoying part. Well, you know who,

910
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad it is not going to disappear. Our next guests,

911
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: all right, let's um welcome them. Are they staying behind

912
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: the glass or are they as as one coming in?

913
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: Or you know how am I only finding out now

914
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: that we have two operational headsets behind the glass. This

942
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:40,359

949
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: behind the scenes between m a VP and Colleen because

950
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,440

953
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: her path to get onto our podcast. So, h maybe

954
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,320

960
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,359

986
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: already it seems like there might be a little bit

987
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: of heat in terms of the creative forces butting heads

988
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,080

Speaker 1: at all. No, I think we're all on the same page.

990
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: It's it's very different, different you know, dynamic like Colleen

991
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: like we all went out Saturday night like Colleens, like

992
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,640

Speaker 1: that everyone has to like rain in. You know. Then

995
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: that I feel like that dynamic comes through on the broadcast.

996
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: Oh it does, definitely tell us. But yeah, it's officially

997
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: going to be a podcast so exclusive, we'll continue to

998
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,839

999
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 1: we're a video conglomerate. We'll see see how that dynamic

1000
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: is going. Six and fifties shows right now. It's I mean,

1001
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: look at damage Check. You know better than anyone. M

1002
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: v P Check just cycles through talent around him because

1003
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, at some point he tires of them or

1004
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: are they tired of get tired of checking? Why do

1005
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: you think Mark got into his contract twelve weeks of

1006
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 1: paid vacation just because he can't stand to be around

1007
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,919
Speaker 1: That makes complete sense. Yeah, we'll have to think about
