Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast. This is the podcast right here.
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast,
Speaker 1: presented by Into a Quick Books, the official sponsor of
Speaker 1: the NFL. My name is Dan Anderson. I'm coming to
Speaker 1: you from a city filled with heroes and bunkers. Mark Sessler,
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley, and Greg Rosentalf. What is up, boys? Hey? Dan?
Speaker 1: How are we doing? One of the all time great
Speaker 1: Matt Money Smith intros right there, He's not a phony
Speaker 1: in during the coronavirus. I think the biggest shock to me,
Speaker 1: um during this whole month, which is, you know, seeing
Speaker 1: human civilization turned on its ear, is when I found
Speaker 1: out that Money was doing a podcast with Gianna from
Speaker 1: Love Is Blind? What's her name? I'm still this is
Speaker 1: like a regular job or it was like a one
Speaker 1: to give, hey if you can get. I guess I
Speaker 1: just didn't think that Money would do that. I mean,
Speaker 1: she seems she certainly seems to uh have plenty of
Speaker 1: free time just judging by you know, kind of a
Speaker 1: light scan of for Instagram activity. She has no concept
Speaker 1: at all that the world has troubled on any level
Speaker 1: at this point. She's sort of just floating around. You know,
Speaker 1: jogging around town posing with her like legs up against yourself,
Speaker 1: aren't you. No, I believe that I've shared with each
Speaker 1: with some of you. You're still in the model some
Speaker 1: of the discoveries yesterday just for just for the shows. No,
Speaker 1: we I told you we re upped for for the show.
Speaker 1: If you were to see my house, there'd be no
Speaker 1: there's no separate room for me to go to to
Speaker 1: do this. So I'm doing it for you. I've also
Speaker 1: I will say that I hope to come out of
Speaker 1: this with the teachers and with a Los Angeles County
Speaker 1: teacher certificate because both parental units are into our seven
Speaker 1: or eight of homeschooling um and they are not effing
Speaker 1: around with the curriculum. It is hot, it's intense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they gave us some they gave us some you know,
Speaker 1: suggested work packets and this and that. Let's just say
Speaker 1: we're going by our own plans. Yeah, the boys have
Speaker 1: a one hour seminar right now. There's a mommy on
Speaker 1: the internet that has her own two children and she
Speaker 1: teaches like a preschool like class. Uh and yeah, and
Speaker 1: one of her one of her children melts down in
Speaker 1: the middle of the live stream every morning, which is
Speaker 1: kind of funny because what you gonna do is she's
Speaker 1: not a live stream with a lot of people watching it. Um. Mark,
Speaker 1: I do love that you said that you're doing this
Speaker 1: for the audience and for the podcast, not for you
Speaker 1: at all, not for you to be in your own
Speaker 1: place miles away from your family. But it's definitely for
Speaker 1: our for the sanity of our family too. But uh,
Speaker 1: it's I'm kind of getting well, there you go again.
Speaker 1: You said for the sanity of your family. Look around,
Speaker 1: there's nothing to do said for the sanity of your family.
Speaker 1: I think there's some Mark Sessler involved with this as well,
Speaker 1: beyond the podcast community and the family. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's so of course this is the direction that
Speaker 1: you will take. But I believe me, this was the
Speaker 1: best plan we could come up with for what our
Speaker 1: house is under right now. It's this was a smart move.
Speaker 1: So I don't you know, no shame involved this. This
Speaker 1: is a getaway for anyone who has to do Actually,
Speaker 1: no attempt to shaming, just trying to get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of it. That's all. Well, that is the bottom
Speaker 1: of it. I mean, I don't there's no other secret
Speaker 1: plans being. I don't have anyone like hidden and how
Speaker 1: much longer do you have it? Now? How much longer
Speaker 1: do you have this um, this residence unattached from your house,
Speaker 1: indefinite or what like what's going on here? Well, we found,
Speaker 1: you know, not indefinite because remember I mentioned that the
Speaker 1: rate of it was alarming, and it's not surprising because
Speaker 1: not a lot, not a lot of people are air
Speaker 1: being being in Los Angeles right now. So the people
Speaker 1: were kind of saying, hey, do you want to keep
Speaker 1: going at this place? And we're like, this is making
Speaker 1: sense for us, And the re up was what you
Speaker 1: would pay for basically one night in a typical l
Speaker 1: a airbnb for another week, So we're just we just
Speaker 1: said let's do it because it's a place to to go,
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's a bad plan frankly. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, you if I had a garage separate where
Speaker 1: I could go UM broadcast, it might take some of
Speaker 1: those issues away. But we just don't have that space,
Speaker 1: so I'd be basically in like Luke and Colton's room,
Speaker 1: attempting to discuss how important it is that Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: landed with the Falcons on a one year, five million
Speaker 1: dollar deal with you know, waves of payoffs foaming around
Speaker 1: my ears and mouth. I don't know. Yes, Dodd Darrelly
Speaker 1: did find a new home quickly. And we're gonna get
Speaker 1: into all of the news since we last last left you.
Speaker 1: And this is our sixth podcast in six days that
Speaker 1: isn't around the NFL podcast records, So give your selves
Speaker 1: a pat on the back, Barry Harrowood style style, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen of the show. Uh, and Ricky, you can
Speaker 1: update the around the NFL Podcast history book, UM, if
Speaker 1: you don't mind, you got it. Yeah, working on it tirelessly. Here.
Speaker 1: You can also mark this day down as the first
Speaker 1: time Amaka my wife ever ever slithered on the ground
Speaker 1: in the background trying to get something out of this
Speaker 1: room to avoid the is this the first time Amaca
Speaker 1: has ever heard any of the show? Even if it's
Speaker 1: just your voice, it is it is well they have
Speaker 1: been complaining her and Ellie, my daughter, how loud my
Speaker 1: voice is during this that the last thing I need
Speaker 1: is a gigantic Michael. So we're gonna go through the
Speaker 1: news and we're also going to check in with where
Speaker 1: we stand now Friday afternoon. Um, late afternoon on the
Speaker 1: East coast. Is we're taping this UM and check in
Speaker 1: with free agents that are still out there, teams that
Speaker 1: could you know, do well to connect with these free
Speaker 1: agents cent are out there. But before we do that,
Speaker 1: where we get into the news West, I would uh,
Speaker 1: you would mention that you had have been kind of
Speaker 1: spinning around the league a little bit, and uh, I
Speaker 1: was curious what teams you thought have gotten a lot
Speaker 1: better and a lot worse so far in the free
Speaker 1: agency process. Well, I think the teams that have lost
Speaker 1: the most Patriots, Rams, Texans, and here's a team that
Speaker 1: we haven't really talked a whole lot about, but the
Speaker 1: But the Vikings have lost a lot. We saw today
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin says he's not resigning there, so Linval Joseph,
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhoades, Trey Waynes, Stephen Diggs. I mean, they're losing
Speaker 1: good players. They're losing guys who were nucleus for their
Speaker 1: team last year. So the Vikings really strike me as
Speaker 1: a team. I don't know if we see them as
Speaker 1: like a division contender anymore. I don't well, I'm not
Speaker 1: even contender, not for the division title. No, I don't
Speaker 1: think they're in the Packers league, and I'm not sure
Speaker 1: they're in the Bears league. Well, it's super early, like
Speaker 1: the Patriots for instance. And I'm sure the Rams and
Speaker 1: Vikings look at this too, are gonna be aggressive in
Speaker 1: the second phase of free agency, and that's when they
Speaker 1: often find a lot of their good players. But the
Speaker 1: Vikings especially, they've had such continuity on defense. This will
Speaker 1: look different than any Mike Zimmer team. He's gonna have
Speaker 1: to prove it kind of his coaching bona fides that
Speaker 1: he can take a bunch of guys that they find
Speaker 1: in the draft and turn it into what's been one
Speaker 1: of the better defenses in the league. And I would
Speaker 1: say to um fans out there, teams that have not
Speaker 1: been active, that are perhaps freaking out on subreddits or
Speaker 1: wherever right now, UH to hang tight as as a
Speaker 1: fan of a team that has has made splashes, and
Speaker 1: the first wave of free agency the Jets, and it
Speaker 1: awfully blows up in their face. It's very it's not
Speaker 1: easy to nail these first wave signings. You're just putting
Speaker 1: out a lot of money. You're bringing in a veteran
Speaker 1: that the team, in many cases the team he's leaving
Speaker 1: did not make it a priority to keep him in
Speaker 1: the building. Uh So, just because you don't hit on
Speaker 1: some of these quote unquote big names doesn't mean you
Speaker 1: can't do damage at all. This this is when it
Speaker 1: really you've got to have a GM that knows what
Speaker 1: he's doing in an organization that has its crap together.
Speaker 1: So hang type, don't panic, don't in any way in
Speaker 1: the world. I think about it. A year ago, there
Speaker 1: were images of right as free agency was going crazy
Speaker 1: and people were lauding the active teams and fans of
Speaker 1: non active teams were melting down. Images of Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: and I believe like Barbados um diving off a pier,
Speaker 1: kind of thick bellied um diving off a pier into
Speaker 1: the water. And it's like he wasn't even in the
Speaker 1: office on the first day or two of free agency.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's there are many ways to attack
Speaker 1: the market. On my issue with the Rams a little bit,
Speaker 1: and we hit on it yesterday, But they also have
Speaker 1: burnt through drafts draft stock to a degree where they're
Speaker 1: not able just to turn to the draft and solve
Speaker 1: their issues. I I'm a little hard pressed to figure
Speaker 1: out how they're going to solve some of the vacant West.
Speaker 1: Is there another team that jumps out to you that
Speaker 1: maybe isn't getting as much talk right now as far
Speaker 1: as getting worth or better? Either way? Some of the
Speaker 1: teams that are getting better. Um, I think a lot
Speaker 1: of teams I can see a plan. But going beyond that,
Speaker 1: who's like who could win more games this year? Because
Speaker 1: they're clearly better. The Arizona Cardinals I think are clearly better.
Speaker 1: They've added on defense in addition to dog DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins. I like what the Browns have done,
Speaker 1: and I think the culture a better team getting to
Speaker 1: impact players in Philip Rivers and DeForrest Buckner. A couple
Speaker 1: of a f C West teams Broncos and Chargers are better.
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Bills ready to make that move,
Speaker 1: and and the Patriots long rain a top to a
Speaker 1: f C East. Maybe we shall see um. All right, now,
Speaker 1: let's do some news, gentlemen, And yes, let's start with
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, who we just talked about it yesterday that
Speaker 1: it felt that like Gurley could be in a difficult
Speaker 1: situation because the Rams cut ties of them. There are
Speaker 1: questions about that knee. But the fact that he's a
Speaker 1: free agent, I think there's a I think it's important
Speaker 1: distinction here. The fact that he was on the street
Speaker 1: is different than Cam Newton situation. Like the Panthers, Cam
Speaker 1: Newton has a medical situation as well, but he's still
Speaker 1: attached to a team and that team wants to maybe
Speaker 1: trade him, and that MUCKs the whole thing up. Girl
Speaker 1: is able to be a free agent quickly contact any team.
Speaker 1: The Falcons interested, and they signed him uh to a
Speaker 1: one year, five million dollar contract, essentially a proved deal
Speaker 1: for Girly to show that he can get back to
Speaker 1: his former dominant ways. The deal, of course, now is
Speaker 1: contingent on the twenty year old girl passing his physical
Speaker 1: with the team whenever that comes. Um so, Uh, Girly
Speaker 1: is unemployed for less than twenty four hours. It's a
Speaker 1: good landing spot, Greg, isn't it? Because he's a DeVante
Speaker 1: freeman was let go by the Falcons. It's a team
Speaker 1: that had no identity running the football uh last year.
Speaker 1: Perhaps Girly is in a situation where he could kind
Speaker 1: of resurrect himself. It's a perfect, well maybe not perfect situation,
Speaker 1: but it's not better opportunity than I necessarily would have
Speaker 1: expected him to get five point five million dollars guaranteed
Speaker 1: six million dollar base. That would indicate to me there
Speaker 1: was some competition for Todd Gurley, because I was surprised
Speaker 1: that he's getting that kind of money right off the
Speaker 1: back considering how he played last year. He fits what
Speaker 1: they want to do in terms of the zone like
Speaker 1: the one cut power scheme. I just I don't see
Speaker 1: any reason to think that he's better than average. I
Speaker 1: think in a in a good situation, he's going to
Speaker 1: be a decent starting running back and that's probably the best.
Speaker 1: Much of this is unknown, and I think that starts
Speaker 1: with Todd Gurley himself the year they went to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. By November, he wasn't the same back, and
Speaker 1: I think he was trying to figure out how much
Speaker 1: of his knee was the same as it was a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks before. The Rams have been operating in
Speaker 1: the dark. They haven't known how serious the knee injury
Speaker 1: was or to what extent it would would affect him,
Speaker 1: and I sort of I get what Greg saying. It's
Speaker 1: especially alarming that he was useless in the passing game
Speaker 1: last year beyond useless. He was terrible in the passing game.
Speaker 1: He didn't make play. That is usually a sign that
Speaker 1: a guy is losing his ability to make people miss
Speaker 1: when that happens. On the other hand, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: another what six seven months removed from the last time
Speaker 1: he ran the ball. Who knows how much the knee
Speaker 1: is healing on its own in that time. I just
Speaker 1: feel like it's an acceptable risk for what they're paying
Speaker 1: him to see what he can come back. As with
Speaker 1: the Falcons after giving that niece some more rest, we
Speaker 1: just don't know. I think it's a reminder that there
Speaker 1: are two or three raging stars out there today that
Speaker 1: have signed mega deals, and the way that it works
Speaker 1: with a lot of these skill position players is we
Speaker 1: have no idea where they will be two years from now.
Speaker 1: I mean, the narrative on Todd Gurley, where we are
Speaker 1: today from when he signed that extension is one of
Speaker 1: the more shocking trajectories for a player in a long time.
Speaker 1: And I honestly, I'm kind of happy for the Rams
Speaker 1: that they don't have to uh dance around answers regarding
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley anymore, because I feel like it's been two
Speaker 1: off seasons in a row where there have been all
Speaker 1: these kind of ridiculous not to have truths because I
Speaker 1: think they just didn't know what Todd Gurley would be.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to hear about it anymore. It's
Speaker 1: like we all get it he's on the fringe at
Speaker 1: this point, and we can only find out who he
Speaker 1: is with the Falcons when the games start. I don't
Speaker 1: I will. I don't want to hear like promising, you know,
Speaker 1: flowery reports about how Grady looks in non padded practices
Speaker 1: until we see it this time around. The money tells
Speaker 1: reporting from flower points and flowery brands, well that that's
Speaker 1: what you're lucky Mark. I don't think we're gonna have
Speaker 1: any non padded practices this year, and beginning to wonder
Speaker 1: if we're gonna have training. Can't even Bill Barnwell, great
Speaker 1: football writer for ESPN. He tweeted out yesterday, which you
Speaker 1: know is a fair point. Imagine the Texans just kept
Speaker 1: de Andre Hopkins and then signed Top Girl for five
Speaker 1: million dollars. It feels like a better situation than having
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb and David Johnson and giving up a second
Speaker 1: round pick. I don't know it feels like a better
Speaker 1: team building scenario. You're right, but Bill O'Brien doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be around DeAndre Hopkins or any other good players
Speaker 1: on his team except to Shawn walk There's every scenario
Speaker 1: that that includes taking back like the worst trade on
Speaker 1: paper we've ever seen. And you could say that. Uh.
Speaker 1: In other running back news, Melvin Gordon finds a home.
Speaker 1: So twenty four hours ago, one of the kind of
Speaker 1: conversations around free agency week was how quiet the running
Speaker 1: back market has been. Well, now it's starting to move.
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon has signed a two year, sixteen million dollar
Speaker 1: deal with thirteen and a half million guaranteed with the
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Rap sheet reports, Uh, this is another weapon
Speaker 1: with Phil b lindsay back there, Royce Freeman. It's a
Speaker 1: bit of a crowded backfield and an interesting move Gordon.
Speaker 1: Let's face it, at the end of the day, Marcus
Speaker 1: couldnot have worked out, uh too much worse. He did
Speaker 1: get a two year deal. We were talking about he
Speaker 1: might have to play on a one year proof of deal.
Speaker 1: So he does get two years. He does get almost
Speaker 1: fourteen million guaranteed, but he's not even walk into a
Speaker 1: situation where he's gonna have guaranteed number of carries going
Speaker 1: his way like Todd Gurley has right now. I thought
Speaker 1: it was interesting that Ian reported that Melvin Gordon there
Speaker 1: were a couple of teams interested in Melvin Gordon and
Speaker 1: that he specifically wanted to stay in the A. S. C.
Speaker 1: West Um to stick it to the Chargers, basically, that
Speaker 1: he wanted to stay in that division. I kind of
Speaker 1: loved that, because you know, last year could not have
Speaker 1: gone worse for Melvin Gordon. You have you stage what
Speaker 1: was one of the more ineffective holdouts of our time. Um,
Speaker 1: you come back and you aren't you kind of you
Speaker 1: don't fit with Austin Ekeler and if anything, kind of
Speaker 1: dragged the offense down. Had one of his worst seasons.
Speaker 1: I still think he could be awesome somewhere if he
Speaker 1: gets healthy, if he's on a hot streak and he
Speaker 1: plays the way we've seen in the past. It kind
Speaker 1: of bumps me out if it's if it overshadows or
Speaker 1: steals away from Philip Lindsay because and I know West
Speaker 1: loves him too. I think he's one of the more electric,
Speaker 1: exciting players. So you've got to find a way to
Speaker 1: make that work. But I don't decide designing at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're saying that Melvin Gordon mostly almost narrowed
Speaker 1: his choices down to three other teams in the league
Speaker 1: because he wanted to get revenge on the Chargers. This
Speaker 1: isn't exactly Brett Varve leaving the leaving the Packers to
Speaker 1: go to the Vikings and he come on now, they
Speaker 1: wanted to pay him last year. He didn't want their
Speaker 1: money and he cost them games. He's the villain here.
Speaker 1: Give me a break with this that he's gonna get
Speaker 1: his revenge on the Chargers. The Chargers are gonna get
Speaker 1: the revenge on him when he's sitting behind Philip Lindsay
Speaker 1: this year. And it's amazing how quickly thinks change in
Speaker 1: the NFL. We've seen that several times this week. But
Speaker 1: last summer Melvin Gordon is holding out and now Austin
Speaker 1: Ekeler gets more guaranteed money than he does. His backup
Speaker 1: got more guaranteed money. And at this time last year,
Speaker 1: the Broncos were telling us that Royce Freeman was gonna
Speaker 1: take carries away from Philip Lindsay and be their number
Speaker 1: one back. It's a slat there's no more volatile position
Speaker 1: in the NFL than running back. Things have changed so quickly, uh,
Speaker 1: due to the the pace is m compared to the
Speaker 1: other elite positions in the league, due to the injuries,
Speaker 1: and how losing half a step seems devastating to a
Speaker 1: running back as we're seeing all over the league every year.
Speaker 1: It's just wild how much things change. I want to
Speaker 1: know how Mark, what Mark feels? Just like emotional? Um
Speaker 1: inside with this Melvin Gordon, you know, trying to get
Speaker 1: revenge because he's a lifelong Chargers fan according to the
Speaker 1: hat that he's he's brought broke out today. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean I was. I was a fan of a different team,
Speaker 1: the Titans, yesterday. And it's like half the people on
Speaker 1: our show apparently have eight different favorite teams. And Gregg
Speaker 1: is now a Bucks fan. So you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: joining the totally confusing roadmap of where anyone's loyal two enjoy.
Speaker 1: I can enjoy, I can enjoy other football teams. And
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I might be. Well, so am
Speaker 1: I allowed to? Yeah? That's why I was just all right.
Speaker 1: I don't understand where the question comes from. Um Mine,
Speaker 1: mine is stupid. I like I love this signing though,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they have Philip Lindsay, but always
Speaker 1: said quickly you need two backs, and that makes sense
Speaker 1: to me, I think for what they want to do.
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon when he's right, I remember, you know, thinking
Speaker 1: he was a better player than Todd Gurley as a rookie,
Speaker 1: and I wrote it and I got and I probably
Speaker 1: took more grief, like on Twitter for that opinion over
Speaker 1: the next few years after that than than anything I
Speaker 1: can remember writing, because Gurley just like took off like
Speaker 1: a supernova. But I would still take Melvin Gordon over
Speaker 1: Ted Todd Gurley, like, when he's right, he's a complete
Speaker 1: back and that's a great backfield West. I know you
Speaker 1: don't buy the the Melvin Gordon U is a functionally
Speaker 1: good person on any of them at this point, But like,
Speaker 1: wouldn't he better to go to you want to stick
Speaker 1: it to the Chargers. No, I would say go to
Speaker 1: the Ram. That was Ian's report. I didn't bake that
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, But like I'd say, go to the
Speaker 1: Rams replaced DoD Gurley. There's really not There's there is
Speaker 1: competition there as well with Henderson, but like you thrive
Speaker 1: in l A with the other l as other team.
Speaker 1: That's revenge, Denver, who's going to be paying attention up there?
Speaker 1: Clear live at a time mark where when you make mistakes,
Speaker 1: you keep double down, and you keep doubling down on them,
Speaker 1: according to the leaders in this country, because you can't
Speaker 1: ever be found out. And Melvin Gordon is a good
Speaker 1: person who made a mistake last year and he keeps
Speaker 1: doubling down on it because he doesn't want to admit
Speaker 1: that he made a mistake and cost his team games.
Speaker 1: And funny and the idea not to hammer this point
Speaker 1: anything further, but the idea that you have to stay
Speaker 1: in the division to get your revenge. Everyone sees every
Speaker 1: every player in every game. Now. It's not like if
Speaker 1: you leave the region, or leave the time zone, or
Speaker 1: leave the TV market, people can't keep up with you
Speaker 1: and decide whether or not you were worthy of the
Speaker 1: deal you thought you were worth. Good luck to Melvin Gordon,
Speaker 1: get back on track, buddy, But come on, let it go.
Speaker 1: I mean something something tells me the Broncos offered the
Speaker 1: most money to him and most like that team. And
Speaker 1: then it's just a funny thing. That fun thing that
Speaker 1: an agent tells a reporter in other news, tom Brady
Speaker 1: the officially a Tampa Bay buccaneer. He assigned a two
Speaker 1: year fifty million dollar contract and includes another nine million
Speaker 1: available in incentive, so can get up to fifty nine million,
Speaker 1: no trade clause, twenty year veteran getting that much guaranteed money,
Speaker 1: no trade clause, multiple year contract, It is unprecedented and
Speaker 1: according to Rhoda World, only Jared Goff, Ben Roethlisberger and
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson, uh and Jimmy Garoppolo excuse me,
Speaker 1: um will take up more of their team's cap at
Speaker 1: quarterback under center. So tom Brady finally paid like a superstar,
Speaker 1: super duperstar. He gets the money. Turns out that the
Speaker 1: Patriots never even made an offer for tom Brady, which
Speaker 1: is somewhat notable. Mike Giardi had this report, and Giardi
Speaker 1: has been a good job and done a good job.
Speaker 1: He's been pretty plugged in. Clearly has a has the
Speaker 1: ear of Robert Kraft. Here's what Gardi's report was today.
Speaker 1: When I spoke to ro brit Craft, he made this
Speaker 1: analogy about Tom Brady's departure. Here's the quote, think about
Speaker 1: loving your wife, and for whatever reason, there's something her
Speaker 1: father or mother that makes life impossible for you and
Speaker 1: you have to move on, but you know you don't
Speaker 1: want to hubba hubber. Now, with that said, Ricky, it's
Speaker 1: still a little bit of a investigation here of who
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft could be alluding to. Could it be Bill Belichick,
Speaker 1: head coach of the New England Patriots, noted butter of
Speaker 1: heads with Tom Brady, focus of drama in the Seth
Speaker 1: Wickersham piece. Could it be Don Yee, the sports agent
Speaker 1: tom Brady's agent. Could it be Alex Guerrero, Argentine alternative
Speaker 1: medicine practitioner, an alkaline diet advocate, personal trainer of Tom
Speaker 1: Brady and the source of much much consternation on the
Speaker 1: Patriot Way. Could it be Just Hell Brazilian model, activist, author, actress, businesswoman,
Speaker 1: wife of Tom Brady and the woman with the eternal
Speaker 1: quote my husband. Couldnot I think throw the ball and
Speaker 1: touch the ball at the same time. Who is Robert
Speaker 1: Kraft talking about? Way? Can I go with another option? Sure,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ge a clumsy analogy that made no sense.
Speaker 1: It's just like words. So here we go, there we go?
Speaker 1: Carry that water. I'm not a Patriots fan anymore this organization,
Speaker 1: and it's quite at the opposite. I'm I'm saying that
Speaker 1: the less said, the better, I would say, considering some
Speaker 1: of some of the quotes coming up, I'm just saying
Speaker 1: it's such a tortured analogy. There's a chance it means
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. I know you wanted to mean absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: Perhaps it doesn't mean absolutely nothing, Greg, Perhaps some things
Speaker 1: means something. I thought he was just calling Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: a mother in law, right that that would be. Tell
Speaker 1: me what that means? Tell me how that's just word
Speaker 1: souper word salad. And that's not something that's pointed. And
Speaker 1: he's referring to someone in particular because he's if you
Speaker 1: looked at the quotes in the last few days, he's
Speaker 1: clearly in in his feelings, you know, and he's just
Speaker 1: sort of like, I don't know, if lashing out basically,
Speaker 1: like the other the other quotes were that he that
Speaker 1: was that Tom Brady made the choice to leave, like
Speaker 1: I don't. Basically, I don't find it like a overly
Speaker 1: credible source. What do you mean, Rob Craft his quote
Speaker 1: directly to Mike Jardim, I can't I'm not making sense
Speaker 1: of your defense of this situation here. This is not
Speaker 1: a defense I'm trying to, you know, walk a tightrope here.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm not too worried about his quote.
Speaker 1: I guess I would say like that it has any
Speaker 1: meaning in the greater anybody else have a thought on this?
Speaker 1: I mean, Dan, I think if it's Robert Guerrero, the
Speaker 1: the TV twelve and fitness guru, um, he is going
Speaker 1: to be found underneath the mass Turnpike because if he's
Speaker 1: the reason that Tom Brady is no longer with the Patriots,
Speaker 1: that's not going to sit well with an angry um
Speaker 1: contingent of people in that state. I didn't. I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe it was the somewhat clumsy quote, but it's to me,
Speaker 1: and maybe I tilt in the other direction than Greg
Speaker 1: does on this. Robert Craft seems to be pointing the finger.
Speaker 1: That's someone and he's not pointing it at himself, and
Speaker 1: to me it's Bill Belichick or bust but right, but
Speaker 1: he also pointed the finger at He pointed the finger
Speaker 1: at Tom Brady specifically a day or two ago, which
Speaker 1: was probably like the least classy thing that went on
Speaker 1: in this entire um after effects, So that would be
Speaker 1: the opposite that YE had. Logic would say, of course
Speaker 1: Belichick didn't want him. They did not for him a contract.
Speaker 1: I think one one thing I would know, um, and
Speaker 1: you mentioned he finally gets that big time quarterback money.
Speaker 1: This wasn't that good of a contract. He made this
Speaker 1: money last year. He made this money on his previous extension.
Speaker 1: The fact he got two years is pretty interesting. But
Speaker 1: the fact that he's making five million dollars less than
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill this year, UM, I found interesting. Every report
Speaker 1: said he had thirty million dollars at least per year,
Speaker 1: that the Patriots were offering it a month or two ago,
Speaker 1: and those reports turned out to be total agent generated garbage.
Speaker 1: How does he's making twenty five a year? That's what
Speaker 1: he made last guy has? This guy has habitually taken
Speaker 1: less money. I mean, why would I think that he
Speaker 1: tried to get a much money as he possibly could,
Speaker 1: because because the reports literally two days ago said his
Speaker 1: he told both teams he would only you know he
Speaker 1: wanted to start the negotiations at thirty million dollars guaranteed
Speaker 1: per year, and that the chargers in the Bucks were
Speaker 1: in immediately off of that, but that isn't Ultimately, that's
Speaker 1: not what he got. I just I don't believe that
Speaker 1: he tried to get as much money as possible. It's
Speaker 1: not what he's done in the past. And I know
Speaker 1: you've tried to frame it other ways, but he could
Speaker 1: get more money, and he's never he's never tried to
Speaker 1: get more money. He's never said I want this to
Speaker 1: be purely about the money. I think he understands. The
Speaker 1: Patriots did not, as I said, did not make any
Speaker 1: type of offer to him, and the Patriots said Tom
Speaker 1: Brady never came to us, the Patriots not even engaging
Speaker 1: with him on this. That's interesting to me as well.
Speaker 1: And if he wanted sixty million and he got fifty
Speaker 1: with a with a chance to get up to fifty
Speaker 1: nine with another team, that it sounds like the Patriots
Speaker 1: are never gonna play ball with him. They never got
Speaker 1: involved in anything tangible discussion with him. I think that's right.
Speaker 1: I think they Belichick most likely played it in such
Speaker 1: a way that Brady had no other choice but to leave,
Speaker 1: and that he probably had the feeling that Brady wanted
Speaker 1: to leave to begin with. But either way, they were
Speaker 1: ready to move on. I agree with the last thing.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go through. I'm gonna parse it one
Speaker 1: more time. So think about loving your wife and for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, there's something her father or mother. So in
Speaker 1: this analogy craft is the husband, the wife is Brady. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's something and there's an outside figure the father or mother,
Speaker 1: someone close to the to the wife that makes it
Speaker 1: impossible for you. Uh, and you have to move on,
Speaker 1: but you don't want to. I don't see how he's
Speaker 1: not pointing the finger at someone, and if it's if
Speaker 1: it's Belichick, is he pointed the finger at Brady two
Speaker 1: days ago, which which was really surprising to me, and
Speaker 1: maybe like why are you why are you still talking
Speaker 1: about this? If you're if you're well, because it's the
Speaker 1: biggest NFL story in ten years, that's why. Well. But
Speaker 1: here's the thing. He was literally silent, Uh sure if if? If?
Speaker 1: The other option is that he literally was calling Stephen
Speaker 1: a smith during ad breaks because he didn't like what
Speaker 1: they were saying on the air. And then he's um
Speaker 1: kind of taking away the work that they put in
Speaker 1: with the state public statements that they're reaching and then
Speaker 1: deciding to point the finger at Tom Brady to to
Speaker 1: an ESPN analyst so that he can then relay that
Speaker 1: you're pointing a finger and now there's another finger being pointed.
Speaker 1: It's a little that's a lot of tide. And Craft
Speaker 1: has always been willing to talk to the media at length,
Speaker 1: and I think he wanted to make it clear to
Speaker 1: everyone I am not the reason. Well, you whether it's
Speaker 1: Brady and whether it's he's throwing some shaded Brady also
Speaker 1: said some very nice things about Tom Brady and whether
Speaker 1: he's throwing shaded person X, which is Belichick. Probably he's
Speaker 1: making it clear to everyone in Boston. I'm not the reason, right,
Speaker 1: which is I think back to West, which it goes
Speaker 1: back to West's point and the reason why this part
Speaker 1: frustrates me more than anything to deal with the Brady divorce.
Speaker 1: It's a total lack of responsibility. You know, it's the
Speaker 1: person at the top choosing to point fingers instead of
Speaker 1: accepting that like, hey, this happened. I'm in charge. I
Speaker 1: share the responsibility, and probably the best thing to do
Speaker 1: is to be like my quarterback and coach, who would
Speaker 1: never that's fair what he if they never made the offer.
Speaker 1: If Brady uh and the team hit an impass and
Speaker 1: Brady said, I'm gonna go paid elsewhere if you're not
Speaker 1: going to be aggressive. When it's all said and done,
Speaker 1: the owners should just take ownership and say we decided
Speaker 1: to go in a different direction. Because when you do this,
Speaker 1: you have JABRONI is like me and everybody else out
Speaker 1: there that are now going to part your quote and
Speaker 1: wonder if there's a schism here with Belichick. And that's
Speaker 1: what you know, going back three or four years ago
Speaker 1: that Wickershian piece for ESPN, everyone always wondered whether Bellichick
Speaker 1: and Brady could survive, as you know, the a pairing
Speaker 1: in terms of their egos and relationship, and this just
Speaker 1: kind of throws kerosene on it, quite honestly. And I
Speaker 1: think it's going to continue to be a story because
Speaker 1: as good as the Patriot Way is with keeping things
Speaker 1: off the books, I think this is one that leaks
Speaker 1: and will continue to leak just because, like Mark said,
Speaker 1: it is one of the biggest NFL stories in a
Speaker 1: very long time. I think, Uh, you're absolutely right, but
Speaker 1: it's it's also it's supported in basically every report around Brady,
Speaker 1: how eager he was to have a different type of
Speaker 1: voice in his head like that, Like the people that
Speaker 1: seem closest to Brady keep reporting how he wanted to
Speaker 1: be treated like an adult. I think the Aryan style
Speaker 1: of coaching, like he just was sick of that, which
Speaker 1: is very natural after twenty years that he was sick
Speaker 1: of of that type of coaching. He didn't want to
Speaker 1: go back, like competing with Jared stid him. You're totally right,
Speaker 1: and I would go look at Tom brady Instagram posts
Speaker 1: from today where he talks about I think with excitement
Speaker 1: about starting over, calling it year one, and how it's
Speaker 1: his responsibility to win over that locker room and win
Speaker 1: over his coaches and show them from a day to
Speaker 1: day process the way he did in New England, that
Speaker 1: he arrives with nothing, he just has to show it.
Speaker 1: And Brady to me sounds like refreshed and happy, like
Speaker 1: he's the one that got out of this marriage. He
Speaker 1: wasn't happy about. I like that Chris Godwin is not
Speaker 1: guaranteeing that he's given the number twelve away. He was
Speaker 1: saying like he can't wait for it to play with
Speaker 1: Todd Brady and he's texted with him and everything. But
Speaker 1: he was also like Wow, it hasn't really come up,
Speaker 1: but you know, I kind of want, we should all
Speaker 1: wish to have such such leverage and negotiations that Chris
Speaker 1: Godwin has right now. You know. Uh, let's stay on
Speaker 1: the topic of dramatic situations involving head coaches and players.
Speaker 1: This story and I read it in ESPN. Michael Rothstein
Speaker 1: had it Darius Slay, who of course was traded by
Speaker 1: the Lions to the Eagles and then gave him a
Speaker 1: new contract the big piece added to the Eagles secondary
Speaker 1: This week, Slay spoke out about issues with Matt Patricia
Speaker 1: that uh, he didn't see quote eye to eye a
Speaker 1: lot um with one person in the organization. It was
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia, and he cited two specific instances. One where
Speaker 1: Slay returned from working out with a collection of star
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and when he met with Patricia shortly after that,
Speaker 1: Patricia made sure to tell him that he wasn't in
Speaker 1: the class of these cornerbacks. Richard Sherman Key to leave
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes. Uh, you told him that he wasn't quote elite.
Speaker 1: That's some straight out of the uh Greg Williams uh
Speaker 1: book of coaching. UM. And then the big incident involved
Speaker 1: Slay posting something on social media about a wide receiver
Speaker 1: that he had been practicing with that had some success
Speaker 1: against him in the practice. And uh, I guess Slay
Speaker 1: posted some type of positive um message with a picture
Speaker 1: of that wide receiver, and Patricia went off on him
Speaker 1: in a team meeting and said something very beyond the pale.
Speaker 1: Uh to put put it softly, you know, don't suck
Speaker 1: up to an opponent another guy like this. You've gotta
Speaker 1: be tough, uh, And but much more coarse than that
Speaker 1: in terms of the language. And that led to a
Speaker 1: total breakdown and Slay saying I almost you know, I
Speaker 1: had to be restrained, but I kept my cool. But
Speaker 1: he could never look at him with any respect after that.
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia is a major problem with the lines, I think.
Speaker 1: And this is just another example to me of a
Speaker 1: situation where they had to get out of the sooner
Speaker 1: rather than later. It's just another example of a Belichick
Speaker 1: disciple leaving New England, coming to a new place and
Speaker 1: without really establishing any kind of respect, without earning respect,
Speaker 1: has started acting like a jerk to his players. And
Speaker 1: we've seen this with Eric Mangini, with Josh McDaniels. Bill O'Brien,
Speaker 1: you're not Bill Belichick. You can't act like him, act
Speaker 1: like yourself. And I'm a little confused also at Darius
Speaker 1: slay His offense at this was more about his manhood
Speaker 1: being questioned than the fact of sexual sexual orientation in
Speaker 1: general being be smirched. I just like the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, he comes from a different place in US,
Speaker 1: a different background, and and it's a level of manhood
Speaker 1: challenging that I think slay Um took offense to. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's how he saw it. It wasn't so much of
Speaker 1: challenge of his orientation. We'll get over it then. If
Speaker 1: it's only about challenging your manhood, then get over it.
Speaker 1: If it's about something deeper the night and this is
Speaker 1: Slay's quote right there after that, that's when all my
Speaker 1: respect went out the door for him as a man. So,
Speaker 1: you know, Patricia is entering year three the Lions. You know,
Speaker 1: it seemed very it seemed like a coin flip whether
Speaker 1: he would stick around. They decided, uh to keep Patricia
Speaker 1: in the building. And he's gonna need results this year
Speaker 1: because I think he's gonna be when when I put
Speaker 1: out the hot butt rankings later this August. Hopefully, Uh,
Speaker 1: Patricia is gonna be right at the top of the
Speaker 1: list with Doug Morone. He's got to be right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, in the best case scenario,
Speaker 1: maybe he's just like um, one of those people who
Speaker 1: tries to be funny and sarcastic, but then everyone around
Speaker 1: them just thinks like that's That was another quote in
Speaker 1: it that is sense of humor does not click with
Speaker 1: the players. Tough sitch as they say. Uh. For Matt
Speaker 1: Patricia and other free agency news, Eric Ebron has a job.
Speaker 1: The former Lions and Colts tight end sides a two year,
Speaker 1: twelve million dollar deal with the Steelers. He's only twenty six.
Speaker 1: He's a first round pick a long time ago, it
Speaker 1: feels like, but he's still just twenty six. He had
Speaker 1: that breakout season with Andrew Luck in the Colts a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, thirteen touchdown catches I believe, but
Speaker 1: he did not make an impact last year. Was banged
Speaker 1: up and had a very disappointing run in Detroit. Overall,
Speaker 1: Steelers hoping to get something out of him. This comes
Speaker 1: to the same day that Ben Roethlisberger, in a report
Speaker 1: is saying that he feels great. He hasn't thrown with
Speaker 1: without pain like this in a long time, so that
Speaker 1: was certainly welcome news on the Steelers front as well.
Speaker 1: One Ben Roethlisberger also has been you know, preparing, I
Speaker 1: think for the end of days in this pandemic, you know,
Speaker 1: for a long time, based on based on how he looks.
Speaker 1: So he's ready. I like that Hebron signing. The Steelers
Speaker 1: have been trying to fill that Heath Miller Hoole every year,
Speaker 1: and Hebron is only what a year removed from that
Speaker 1: thirteen or fourteen touchdown season. I saw somebody comparing his
Speaker 1: numbers last year to Jimmy Graham's numbers, and give me
Speaker 1: a break with that nonsense. Watch the film, get out
Speaker 1: of the stat book. For Hebron can still make plays.
Speaker 1: He can still box out and jump over people in
Speaker 1: the end zone. Jimmy Graham's not doing that anyway. Uh.
Speaker 1: Andrew's pe gets a big deal from the Saints. He
Speaker 1: sticks around a five year, fifty seven and a half
Speaker 1: million dollar contra act. UH No player at his position
Speaker 1: has gotten this kind of money. UM in free agency.
Speaker 1: That's thirty three million guaranteed at signing number thirteen overall
Speaker 1: pick Gregg, were you surprised to see and Just Pete
Speaker 1: get this type of wop from his team? I was
Speaker 1: shocked and I wanted to put this in the rundown
Speaker 1: just to just to mention, Uh, Saints Twitter just being
Speaker 1: a gas and this is the worst thing that's ever happened.
Speaker 1: All they'd like to do is make fun of Andrew's
Speaker 1: Pete every day. My guy, that boy Wolf. I mean,
Speaker 1: they were just hoping. I think they all unfollowed Andrew's Pete,
Speaker 1: just hoping he was leaving for another team and then
Speaker 1: they bring him back and give him a ton of money.
Speaker 1: He he was like with the biggest reason they lost
Speaker 1: that game against the Vikings, the Bengals, asking if they
Speaker 1: would accept him as a fan. Now, wait, so the
Speaker 1: Saints they unfollowed, Is that true? Well, I don't know
Speaker 1: about that. That's kind of a going bit that again.
Speaker 1: I mean that boy wolf is getting he every time
Speaker 1: one of their bad players, one of their players goes
Speaker 1: to another team, he just like quote retweets it and
Speaker 1: with all caps unfollowed, And I don't know, they just people,
Speaker 1: They just hate them. Some Andrews beet and then so
Speaker 1: this contract they think through them for a loop. Hey Ryan,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen hate like this from Saints Twitter since
Speaker 1: Kirk Colem. Hey Ryan, a k dat boy wolf. You're
Speaker 1: having a moment. Man. I know things are tough right now,
Speaker 1: and uh, we're all getting through it the best we can.
Speaker 1: But just now, you're having a moment and we see
Speaker 1: it maybe gets overlooked in the big picture, but you're
Speaker 1: having a wolf You're having a wolfy moment here. Moving on,
Speaker 1: let's get into it. That's what's happening in the news.
Speaker 1: There's your rundown. Um, we talked about it. Um. We
Speaker 1: wanted to go through players that are still out there
Speaker 1: and and are you know, could be a nice pick
Speaker 1: up in the second wave of free agency. Will start
Speaker 1: right here and we could go through the list, but
Speaker 1: we'll start right here. Mike Giardi, our own Mike Ardi
Speaker 1: reports that the Patriots are quote unlikely to target free
Speaker 1: agent quarterback Jamis Winston. So if jardis reporting is accurate,
Speaker 1: and it has been to the state, uh in Patriots
Speaker 1: related matters, Uh, you could cross off another potential starting
Speaker 1: job for Jamis Winston. Uh. Let's talk about Winston a
Speaker 1: little bit. Do you think we're reaching the point where
Speaker 1: the man coming off the thirty three touchdown five thousand
Speaker 1: yards season, also thirty interceptions, is gonna be holding a
Speaker 1: clipboard in week one barring some type of unforeseen circumstances.
Speaker 1: I think we're getting closer and closer to that. I mean,
Speaker 1: no one was rushing out for Jamis Winston. I still
Speaker 1: see a few landing spots out there where if he
Speaker 1: got into training camp. Uh, the current quarterback I can
Speaker 1: question could be unseated because I think Jamie, I would
Speaker 1: say Jacksonville would be somewhere where if that team kind
Speaker 1: of melts Um and Jamis Winston were at at the
Speaker 1: backup quarterback spot, Hunt Gardner Minshew that he could easily
Speaker 1: be starting by week five or six. I feel the
Speaker 1: same way with Andy Donner Jacksonville. Right they hired Jay Gruden,
Speaker 1: who drafted Andy Dalton with the Bengals. UM that was
Speaker 1: clearly Mike Brown wanted Kaepernick and Jake Gruden wanted Dalton.
Speaker 1: I could see definitely the Jaguars getting Dalton. I I
Speaker 1: don't see Jake Gruden going for Jamie's makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense, though. I just but there are a lot
Speaker 1: of spots where Winston, if he goes, is gonna like
Speaker 1: be seen as a starter anywhere. He's not going to
Speaker 1: be a starter Week one. Probably his best chance to
Speaker 1: play would be Washington if they kind of take him
Speaker 1: as the UM. If Dwayne Haskins struggles, let's play Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston guy, which just feels like a Washington move. I
Speaker 1: can very much imagine Jamis Winston struggling on the Redskins.
Speaker 1: I don't think it'd be a good move for for
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, but I just don't see him having options.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if the Patriots might be interested, but
Speaker 1: it's crazy, all right, here's another here's another option. Potentially
Speaker 1: the Chargers are out there now, everyone's connecting them to
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback, which if that's the case, if they're
Speaker 1: said on that, they're not gonna go near Winston because
Speaker 1: they already have a s a solid backup in Tyron
Speaker 1: Tyron Taylor. UM And I'm trying to think where else
Speaker 1: would he I'm talking about anywhere where he would have
Speaker 1: any chance to be the Week one starter. I think Jackson, Washington, perhaps, Jacksonville, perhaps,
Speaker 1: um l A perhaps, But we're running out of options,
Speaker 1: and that goes for you know, Andy Dalton of course
Speaker 1: as well, and Cam Newton, not Lodge, and went through
Speaker 1: his former offensive coordinators. I went through his former quarterbacks coaches.
Speaker 1: None of these guys are even in the NFL anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't see a fit. I don't like him any
Speaker 1: as seem like, yeah, I don't see anywhere for Jamie's like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know where he's gonna go to be
Speaker 1: up pure back Denver, Denver. I thought maybe if if
Speaker 1: el Way, you know, just wanted to bet on some
Speaker 1: talent that the guy to put behind lock. And it
Speaker 1: is another reminder in football, running back is the most
Speaker 1: fault told these positions, it seems, but quarterback is right
Speaker 1: there too, because it was only a couple of summers ago,
Speaker 1: on Hard Knocks that Jamis Winston was the darling of
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and he was up at five am listening
Speaker 1: to affirmative Uh what are the words of affirmation those
Speaker 1: audio books, and the whole building was just obsessed with him,
Speaker 1: seeing him as their past, present, their president, and their future.
Speaker 1: And now he's in a position where he's gonna have
Speaker 1: to basically rebuild his career from scratch, and everyone is saying,
Speaker 1: how shocking. It is because he has had the thirty
Speaker 1: plus touchdowns, the five thousand yards passing. But I think
Speaker 1: the book on him got so thick over the years
Speaker 1: and years of careless play that it just poisoned him
Speaker 1: on this market. I mean, there's no other way to
Speaker 1: look at. I mean, it just he basically has to
Speaker 1: remake his entire game and I don't know if that's possible.
Speaker 1: It certainly didn't look like he had that ability in
Speaker 1: five years in Tampa. I mean, theybody want to flow
Speaker 1: out nine Yeah, with to say with Jamis Winston's growing
Speaker 1: in interceptions thirty interceptions. They lost like five or six
Speaker 1: games by one score and he threw seven pick six.
Speaker 1: It's I if can you ever imagine him on New
Speaker 1: England with when Bill Belichick benches a running back who
Speaker 1: will if he fumbles up by points in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: So it's like, I can't think of a worse marriage
Speaker 1: than a team that is obsessed with flawless football. You
Speaker 1: need to find someone that's looking for a gun slinger
Speaker 1: and maybe just banking on talent, And I just don't,
Speaker 1: to west his point, I don't see where that landing
Speaker 1: spot is. Okay, I think it really does. Like what
Speaker 1: a truelock is just not much by we four. Then
Speaker 1: you have VI they need something else there, you have
Speaker 1: a person behind it don't viable. You know Jonah Gray
Speaker 1: is that his name? He's still changed to a radiator somewhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had a yard four touchdown game on Sunday Night
Speaker 1: Football and then his iPhone didn't go off and Belichick
Speaker 1: basically ruined his career for it. So yeah, it is
Speaker 1: what it is with Bill sometimes Bill's Bill. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean if Jonas Gray was meant to be the next
Speaker 1: Errol Campbell, it would have happened anybody. Uh, yes, you
Speaker 1: want to throw it out there throughout a player that's
Speaker 1: still a free agent right now as a Friday late
Speaker 1: afternoon and perhaps a fit. Well, this guy is not
Speaker 1: like a household name, but he he's a very good
Speaker 1: starting safety Von Bell from the Saints. Uh they signed
Speaker 1: to Malcolm Jenkins appears to have taken his place, so
Speaker 1: he's probably not going back to New Orleans. But I
Speaker 1: see all that, you know, the reports that all these
Speaker 1: guys are interested in going to Tampa Bay and playing
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. I don't know if Evan Baim is
Speaker 1: really moving the needle on that front. But or Joe
Speaker 1: Hagg I guess as the guy they saw Joe hag
Speaker 1: quolts back up Lineman Um, but Von Bell they have
Speaker 1: a need at safety, could be a fit there. And
Speaker 1: and I think the Bears are another team after losing
Speaker 1: Haha Clinton Dix that they could pare him with Eddie Jackson.
Speaker 1: I would love to. I would love to see he's
Speaker 1: one of our highest ranked players. I would love to
Speaker 1: know what the market is now for Jadeveon Clowney. I
Speaker 1: would like to know what where his price tag is at,
Speaker 1: because at the right price, if he is not being
Speaker 1: paid as one of the most you know, if he's
Speaker 1: not valued by the league, is amongst the highest paid
Speaker 1: players in the league on defenses, which were what he
Speaker 1: wants it to be. Um, if that price dad comes down,
Speaker 1: he makes sense for a ton of teams. I mean, uh,
Speaker 1: you can name fifteen twenty teams that could use a
Speaker 1: guy like him that could at times dominate from the edge.
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to even attach him to one team,
Speaker 1: But I'm as curious if his market is coming down
Speaker 1: and he's not going to get the money he wanted.
Speaker 1: I think it was what twenty million annually? Uh, if
Speaker 1: if any number of teams should maybe check in, even
Speaker 1: if you initially initially wasn't on the list because they
Speaker 1: thought he'd be too rich. But the Seahawks a multi
Speaker 1: years and he had interest in the Giants. That's one
Speaker 1: if the price gets down to a certain place New
Speaker 1: York Giants. The Seahawks reportedly had a multi year offer
Speaker 1: on the table that he didn't like. So maybe it
Speaker 1: was like a three year seventeen a year, or he
Speaker 1: might have to take a one year contract for more,
Speaker 1: you know, per year money that are apparent you know West.
Speaker 1: This would be another example for the gm O. I
Speaker 1: don't know how that would work. Actually, maybe there is
Speaker 1: some type of moderator. All right, I got it. So
Speaker 1: we as a moderator as a yeah, as a moderator,
Speaker 1: you you have the intel, you know what the offer is,
Speaker 1: and then you kind of drop it in there at
Speaker 1: the top of the thread, like top thread, Hey, jadeveon
Speaker 1: Clowney right now, Uh, it's four year or is forty
Speaker 1: eight million? Who who can beat it? And then that
Speaker 1: could basically juice the market and everybody gets a chance
Speaker 1: to look at it and decide whether to play ball. Well,
Speaker 1: I've seen this as an opportunity to expand. It's like
Speaker 1: from the developers of the GM app, we present the
Speaker 1: Free Agent app shop yourself around the league, so it
Speaker 1: allows you to use the GM app as isn't that
Speaker 1: basically what a what an agent is being hired to do?
Speaker 1: We're changing everything. Isn't that what the GM is that
Speaker 1: you're killing six jobs basically? I mean they're agents. Well,
Speaker 1: the app handles that. That's what all apps do. They
Speaker 1: killed question when the app is aren't front office is
Speaker 1: or or the main tenants of an NFL front office
Speaker 1: to not your information with anyone else? And this this
Speaker 1: does the guess the point, I guess the one of
Speaker 1: the points. You know, this is a new text. The
Speaker 1: world is upside down. Maybe it's time to take a
Speaker 1: look like it's like how Los Angeles as you use
Speaker 1: an example, with everyone off the roads for the most part,
Speaker 1: industry at a standstill. We have never had better air quality.
Speaker 1: You have to go back, you know, hundreds of years
Speaker 1: to match the air quality we have right now. What
Speaker 1: bro and guess what nobody would have even known that
Speaker 1: if if this didn't happen, and now we have a
Speaker 1: chance to do something similar in this realm where no
Speaker 1: one ever thought that things needed to change or what
Speaker 1: could happen if you did change. And now here we
Speaker 1: are here, we are standing at the at the doorstep
Speaker 1: of history. Are we're gonna walk in? Mark? Are you're
Speaker 1: gonna just stay on the outside? You make the decision
Speaker 1: at the same time, Like every bistro, bar, public place
Speaker 1: is closed, so I mean the tradeoff. We have some
Speaker 1: nice air and that's that's not people are dying anywhere.
Speaker 1: You can't talk to anyone. You can go on hikes, though,
Speaker 1: I feel like people and go and walks, you can
Speaker 1: go exercise. People. People taking this stay inside think a
Speaker 1: little too much. They're saying, go get out to you.
Speaker 1: Are you know, well, you've gotta figured out Craig. I
Speaker 1: mean we could. We could have gone hiking before too, though,
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, hike now your glorious social
Speaker 1: butterfly in the prime of her youth. UM With that,
Speaker 1: there has been some buzz out there. I think Lakeisha
Speaker 1: Jackson Westling had had thrown it out there as a
Speaker 1: possibility of some type of um happy hour, like a
Speaker 1: everybody gets on a Google hangout type situation. Uh, and
Speaker 1: cracks a few and gets loose. Is that something that
Speaker 1: you maybe can spearhead because you are very good at
Speaker 1: these things? Yeah, definitely, I'm Actually it's with some of
Speaker 1: my best friends from home. We're doing a virtual happy
Speaker 1: hour at five o'clock Pacific because it's eight o'clock there, um,
Speaker 1: so we'll have to schedule ours a little bit later
Speaker 1: for me to be able to jump in. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I can. I can spearhead that. I guess I'll plan
Speaker 1: on being virtually happy I have it. You know, West
Speaker 1: has said that he hasn't had a drink since it started.
Speaker 1: I have not had a drink in forty five hours
Speaker 1: about and I'm feeling like it's time to treat myself.
Speaker 1: Mr Jo you were you were in hot water. It
Speaker 1: sounded like on Wednesday or so. So this is this
Speaker 1: is a positive updates completely destroyed my body. My body
Speaker 1: is just it's a it's just like there's no coming
Speaker 1: out like of this. Like I try to do workout
Speaker 1: videos and and I've been going up for walks, but
Speaker 1: then I just totally destroy every bit of progress that
Speaker 1: I make. What would you say you're ingesting? Just like
Speaker 1: way too much booze way too much booze. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't think so so like I drank a little bleach.
Speaker 1: There you go. I want to check in on this
Speaker 1: deflated wide receiver market. Connor Hughes does great work for
Speaker 1: the Athletic Cover and the Jets. He reported today that
Speaker 1: it is quote radio silence on the Robbie Anderson market,
Speaker 1: which you know, speaking of the bill, come and do
Speaker 1: the bill came do on Jameis Winston. All those mistakes, uh,
Speaker 1: and now he can't get a job and he's in
Speaker 1: a in a tough spot. Robbie Anderson, even though he
Speaker 1: kept his nose clean this past year. The fact that
Speaker 1: he's not, you know, he's not exactly a polished wide
Speaker 1: receiver despite having great speed and playmaking ability. The fact
Speaker 1: that he was a knucklehead off the field and has
Speaker 1: had multiple issues in the past. When you combine those things,
Speaker 1: teams aren't aren't aren't looking at him, it seems in
Speaker 1: a way where they want to pay him or or
Speaker 1: maybe this all the reports out there that he wanted
Speaker 1: fifteen million a year um is scaring teams. Often it's
Speaker 1: time for his price tag to come down to that now.
Speaker 1: It's probably actually it's probably maybe a little bit of all,
Speaker 1: but probably more than money. I think very very strongly
Speaker 1: that the Jets should get Robbie Anderson and keep him
Speaker 1: in the building. I've said that multiple times, but I
Speaker 1: want to throw another team out there. What are the
Speaker 1: Packers doing? We love our boy, uh the big german.
Speaker 1: This is this is your corner's name again. Let's listen
Speaker 1: to that. Ricky Um. We love Goody and he did
Speaker 1: a great job or great ish job rebuilding the defense
Speaker 1: last year. But it has been pretty Packers need more
Speaker 1: weapons for Rogers has Dan's cord and you know what,
Speaker 1: it's been pretty quiet. And I'll tell you what. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what. Emmanuel Sanders is out there to still,
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson is out there shot Perryman, which all right,
Speaker 1: But DeAndre how I'm just saying, nobody's signing wide receivers
Speaker 1: because of this draft class coming in prom Okay, So
Speaker 1: if that's gonna be the Robs, Packers go great. But
Speaker 1: how about Goody. I'm gonna put a challenge out to Goody.
Speaker 1: Pick up the phone and just make sure there's no
Speaker 1: other DeAndre Hopkins situations out there in the league. Get
Speaker 1: on the g M act and say, hey, anybody else
Speaker 1: looking to unload franchise wide receiver for reasons unknown, I
Speaker 1: need one because Hopkins would have been an amazing fit
Speaker 1: across from Duvant Adams in Green Bay. People would have
Speaker 1: been going nuts about that is a J. Green who
Speaker 1: has been franchised by the Bengals? Are we sure? Is
Speaker 1: the football world absolutely certain that if you've made a
Speaker 1: phone call to Mike Brown or whomever in that building,
Speaker 1: that you couldn't maybe get a J. Brown a J.
Speaker 1: Green in an assign and trade thing. Kick some tires, goody,
Speaker 1: don't go all in on the draft class. That's that's
Speaker 1: one thing that stands out to me. There are whispers
Speaker 1: out there, and I'm not I get that they're not
Speaker 1: coming from the Associated Press at this point, but there
Speaker 1: are whispers. And this is how the Odell Beckham trade
Speaker 1: started in Cleveland initially. That's always on the defense. I
Speaker 1: don't know there are whispers that you know, but there
Speaker 1: are whispers that he is potentially available, and I and
Speaker 1: there I've just thrown it out there talking a week
Speaker 1: and see if what do you mean? Who who are you?
Speaker 1: Who is he Odell Beckham? Okay? In Cleveland that that's
Speaker 1: been talked about forever that It's just it's not that
Speaker 1: they're trying to move them, that they're desperately trying to
Speaker 1: move them. It's not a Bill O'Brien situation at all,
Speaker 1: but that they are listening to that. And I still
Speaker 1: think if I if I'm Green Bay, I would rather
Speaker 1: get someone like Emmanuel Sanders than Robbie Anderson on a
Speaker 1: short term deal. But the Packers, notoriously last off season,
Speaker 1: we're singing Dixie about how excited they were about their
Speaker 1: young guys, and I thought the season played out to
Speaker 1: show that they shouldn't have been. And are they doubling
Speaker 1: down just because that's how they fail to you can
Speaker 1: get it. I agree with you, Dan, they need to
Speaker 1: add weapons. But it's a good Core's Odell Beckham that
Speaker 1: the Brown's New Uniform fashion show is canceled. I mean
Speaker 1: that's been the thing that for decades. Potentially he's gonna
Speaker 1: lose that. How do we know it's canceled? I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna happen. Actually, I think with Robbie Anderson,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned the money. Like as a younger person,
Speaker 1: I used to think you might as well just ask
Speaker 1: for as much money as he possibly can, Like, it
Speaker 1: couldn't possibly hurt, but I think like, and it's sometimes
Speaker 1: it can it can hurt that In Robbie Anderson's case,
Speaker 1: it's like yeah, like he throws that money out and
Speaker 1: everyone's just like, okay, forget about. By the way, Jamis,
Speaker 1: no one did the same thing as soon as the
Speaker 1: season ended. Thought he was a hundred million dollar quarterback
Speaker 1: right exactly, And we had reports on our network saying
Speaker 1: they were going to franchise him and that he wanted
Speaker 1: more money than that. And sometimes like that can cool
Speaker 1: the market on a guy like Robbie Anderson, who I like,
Speaker 1: who I think we'll still get a decent contract, but
Speaker 1: it's just where there's no interest, I'm gonna make a match.
Speaker 1: By the way, while we're talking receivers, Manny Sanders to
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, there's this perception that the Cowboys don't have
Speaker 1: cap space. They got plenty of cap space right now.
Speaker 1: I would love to see a little Manny Sanders between
Speaker 1: Gallop and uh Amari Cooper and fly, like, let's let's win.
Speaker 1: Now that Cowboys cap apocalypse probably doesn't hit for another
Speaker 1: two years or so. Well, there's an update on this
Speaker 1: as we went to air ESPN is Todd Archer said,
Speaker 1: based on multiple conversations I've had with Cowboys folks, I'd
Speaker 1: be stunned if Manny Sanders ends up there. M hmm.
Speaker 1: But that was in the air for a day or two.
Speaker 1: I still like the Ravens as a landing spot for him.
Speaker 1: I just think that he is a perfect teammate. He
Speaker 1: feels a perfect need for them at a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: open windows scenario that I think he wants to that
Speaker 1: matters to him right now. And you know they don't
Speaker 1: have a ton of cash necessarily, but with what they've
Speaker 1: done on their defense, like the Ravens are one of
Speaker 1: those teams I think that have helped themselves a lot,
Speaker 1: and I do see a need for wide receiver and
Speaker 1: Manny Sanders would be How about the Niners. How about
Speaker 1: the Niners find a way to keep him in the building.
Speaker 1: He was a great pick up for them. The only
Speaker 1: reason he faded at the end of he was hurt.
Speaker 1: It sounds like that's possible. I would love to give
Speaker 1: some cool players, especially Cam Newton, to the Patriots, but
Speaker 1: the Patriots have zero cap room right now, so I'm
Speaker 1: curious what they are going to do about that because
Speaker 1: they have some big moves I think yet to make.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's still restructuring and you just go with Stidham
Speaker 1: and this is what they're doing. But knowing Belichick, it
Speaker 1: feels like there's something big coming to clear some of
Speaker 1: that space out so that they can get flexible and
Speaker 1: do something. Maybe they're just gonna go to camp with Stidham,
Speaker 1: but but Cam Newton will be a lot more fun.
Speaker 1: What about like a direct snap offense where you use
Speaker 1: Joe Tuney as an all purpose fullback who the center
Speaker 1: is direct snapping too. When he gets six to seven
Speaker 1: touches this year for seven yards, they are bringing in
Speaker 1: Danny Vitally, the fullback from the Packers. Like that's the
Speaker 1: Patriots big move. You could go double fullback. How does
Speaker 1: just from a mechanical point of view more than a
Speaker 1: realistic uh possibility? The first round tender given to your
Speaker 1: boy Taysom Hill, how does that work? So if you
Speaker 1: if you sign him to an offer sheet that the
Speaker 1: Saints failed to match, you have to go up your
Speaker 1: first round pick exactly. But you could work out a
Speaker 1: trade and that's happened plenty. So in theory, if the
Speaker 1: Patriots wanted to offer a second round pick for Taysom Hill.
Speaker 1: You know, the Saints could still agree to take it
Speaker 1: if they wanted to maybe catch Sean Payton while he's
Speaker 1: not feeling snatched, tasting Hill away cold blooded. What I'm
Speaker 1: just saying. You know, it's like he's he's probably not
Speaker 1: total head in the game right now. You could maybe
Speaker 1: feels like Belichick would go there. I think he would
Speaker 1: don't like a very nice menstlers, like like like the
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks friend who's trying to like take advantage of
Speaker 1: him during his time of need take take some money. Hey,
Speaker 1: can I go stay at your house in l A.
Speaker 1: You're you're in Australia. I don't put it best, Bill
Speaker 1: like sending a package or something to Sean Payton. And
Speaker 1: that's how this all started and it was all part
Speaker 1: of a long play. Yeah, I agree. I think they
Speaker 1: need to change. They're going to change some players that
Speaker 1: I don't know that the cap thing with them is interesting.
Speaker 1: I just feel like they have like maybe it's Julian Edelman.
Speaker 1: How about that little FedEx COVID style. Yeah serious, Erica
Speaker 1: laughing because Dan was like, I think Bill Belichick literally
Speaker 1: sent a package to Sean Payton and this is how
Speaker 1: the whole start, this whole thing started, and Greg's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, Like he didn't even hear, and it was funny.
Speaker 1: It does show how much our world has changed. Six
Speaker 1: days ago, Sean Payton was in a packed shoulder to
Speaker 1: shoulder in field of a horse racing competition in which
Speaker 1: he owned some horses, and he was doing interviews about
Speaker 1: how free agency was going to get delayed. That was
Speaker 1: six days ago, and he was surrounded by like a
Speaker 1: at that point, interesting time, think about the horses, anybody
Speaker 1: else willa throw out one before we uh signed off
Speaker 1: for the weekend. This sounds very hometown is for me,
Speaker 1: But like Clay Matthews is out there, and I think
Speaker 1: that very few drafted gaffs by the Browns annoyed their
Speaker 1: fandom more than not when he was there and he
Speaker 1: was available, not drafting Clay Matthews after the incredible hal
Speaker 1: fame worthy to me career that Clay Matthews too had
Speaker 1: in Cleveland for years and years that claim Mathews av belable.
Speaker 1: They could use a pass rusher and I don't know
Speaker 1: why you just don't bring him in. For one year
Speaker 1: we got those old uniforms coming back. Like you mentioned,
Speaker 1: that's who you model. You virtually model Clay Matthews in
Speaker 1: your old school Brown's uniforms. He goes in there, what
Speaker 1: do you have eight sacks? Slasher. I'm not saying he's
Speaker 1: the same old guy, but he had a pretty solid
Speaker 1: season at least the beginning of last year. Just see
Speaker 1: what you know? You have to drop forty five million
Speaker 1: dollars on the guy you basically just want to bring
Speaker 1: in the new uniform. Is that basically what you're getting
Speaker 1: at here? No, because his father played there, and it's
Speaker 1: like if like if Todd Gastone are available. You know
Speaker 1: Todd gast So it's the same thing you would you would.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. You have Neville Hewitt. You don't need podcasts.
Speaker 1: Hey not a free agent. But Trent Williams, he's sort
Speaker 1: of like Jameis Winston. To me, I went around the
Speaker 1: league all thirty two teams, and I'm not seeing a
Speaker 1: team desperate right now, which seems weird after the last
Speaker 1: few years. I'm not seeing a team desperate for a
Speaker 1: thirty two year old left tackle. Um teams like the
Speaker 1: Browns I think are are I in the draft with
Speaker 1: a strong tackle class, and to me, the Redskins need
Speaker 1: Trent Williams more than anyone else does. That's a good one.
Speaker 1: Jason Peters is out there too, and he is thirty
Speaker 1: seven years old turning thirty eight. Feels like a guy
Speaker 1: he could still play, maybe a good short term guy
Speaker 1: where you I'll use I'll use my team as an example.
Speaker 1: They if you're in the market for a left tackle
Speaker 1: on the draft, that you could get a guy like Peters.
Speaker 1: Maybe start the rookie on the right side and then
Speaker 1: when it's time he could slide over. He's also injury
Speaker 1: insurance if Peters gets hurt. Step George Fan. What's that?
Speaker 1: All their problems are settled with George Fane George Fan
Speaker 1: and they're good. Hey listen, Yes, you know more about
Speaker 1: offensive line play than the Joe Douglas Joe Douglass because
Speaker 1: Joe Douglass has been making savvy under the radar offensive
Speaker 1: lineman signings all week and we don't even need to
Speaker 1: get it into it on the show. But this guy
Speaker 1: is plugged in and he knows what he's doing. Look
Speaker 1: out is is and Dona Kunsue still a free agent
Speaker 1: or does he resign? He's on the street. This this
Speaker 1: is his move. He doesn't sign right away? Does he know?
Speaker 1: What's his buddy? Leaya Coca is always hanging around. He's
Speaker 1: been talking to lie Aa Coca and he's you know,
Speaker 1: I forgot about LI said, hold off? What you could
Speaker 1: sign always later in the summer, at this juncture of
Speaker 1: your career. All right, everybody, Uh, have a nice weekend?
Speaker 1: Is that even a weekend anymore? Have weekends ceased? We
Speaker 1: don't have the podcast? Yeah, that's a difference. But in
Speaker 1: terms of days, are days of thing anymore or days over? Not? Really? Well,
Speaker 1: I would say honestly, I will not be doing three
Speaker 1: and a half hours of math and reading homework with
Speaker 1: the child tomorrow. I mean, we'll do something more engaging
Speaker 1: and fun. I hope where will we go? I have
Speaker 1: no idea what's good for structure? It's good? Like I was.
Speaker 1: I was asked by Phil Specter, our editor, to put
Speaker 1: together a post free Agency Way one power rankings, and
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, you know, I have to
Speaker 1: file it by noon on Monday, which means should I
Speaker 1: do some work today Friday? Because I want to keep
Speaker 1: the weekend open to spend it with the family was like,
Speaker 1: all I do is spend time with my family now,
Speaker 1: so I think I will be doing some of that
Speaker 1: assignment on Saturday and Sunday. So it's kind of essentially flipped.
Speaker 1: Everything's inside out now. I don't like it the way
Speaker 1: things used to be. Yeah, we we the city of
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and their entire state. You put on your
Speaker 1: clean air down since we last clean air now Steven
Speaker 1: NFL now and total access at NFL Network today, and
Speaker 1: it's all canceled. The entire building his clothes. There is
Speaker 1: no more NFL Network. We have a what's essentially a
Speaker 1: thriving video NFL analysis show five days a week that
Speaker 1: we've been doing six days to be completely accurate. What
Speaker 1: how is this not something that the shadowed lead figures
Speaker 1: can just put on television five days a week. You
Speaker 1: know what I've I've been pitching it and That's why
Speaker 1: I've been doing all these different things with videos. So
Speaker 1: we are putting out video content so we appreciate all
Speaker 1: the shares and likes on Instagram and Twitter and hopefully
Speaker 1: will be used to come. Not only do we give
Speaker 1: trench and analysis with the dash of mirth, we also
Speaker 1: are doing it every day and they don't have content.
Speaker 1: How many times like I show I checked in on
Speaker 1: NFL Network right before we came on, and it's Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston showcase was the name of it, and they were
Speaker 1: just playing Jamis Winston games, which, by the way, Jameis
Speaker 1: Winston is he is he paying NFL Network to essentially
Speaker 1: advertise his wares, although I guess showing Winston highlights from
Speaker 1: last year might not be a great advertisement, but that
Speaker 1: bucks rams games underrated the air. We're not even asking
Speaker 1: for a raise yet, hey Mark via two and maybe
Speaker 1: not the time. Two minutes ago from Tom Pellicero tight end,
Speaker 1: Seth de Valve has agreed to terms with the Panthers,
Speaker 1: per his agent. Listen, I mean the Panthers. They're in
Speaker 1: a rebuild and looking for superstars of the future, and
Speaker 1: that is Seth DeValve right there. So I think it
Speaker 1: is a tremendous landing spot for him and I expect tremendous,
Speaker 1: huge things. That was very Trumpian by the way, just
Speaker 1: say tremendous a lot. This is a huge and nobody
Speaker 1: will notice. I think that's hows conference from today actually
Speaker 1: based on what seriously do you do all R Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm having trouble here any mark new. This is a
Speaker 1: good time for us to say goodbye. Thank you to
Speaker 1: the audience, Thank you them, So you Ricky for helping
Speaker 1: us to do this. A full week of shows done
Speaker 1: in five different locations. Technology is not so bad. Thanks
Speaker 1: to my kids for stage. Are they still in the house?
Speaker 1: Oh boy here, Well let's sign off so you can
Speaker 1: make sure they're safe. And I need to do some
Speaker 1: dad work now as well. So everybody stay safe, do
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Stay inside the house, don't do
Speaker 1: anything stupid. Don't go to spring break. I mean, are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? You're going to spring break? Kids? I mean,
Speaker 1: I get it. It sucks, it's it's screwing your spring break,
Speaker 1: But are you being serious of this? Les? Come on,
Speaker 1: come down in these kids. I can't wait until I
Speaker 1: have to deal with all that. What a disaster. Anyway,
