Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast, Come back to us. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to another edition to the Around the NFL Podcast.
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas and I am joined. They
Speaker 1: refilled the some heroes, Mark Sessler and Connie Fox people.
Speaker 1: Who's the song? Who's part of a hero here? Well,
Speaker 1: we're missing We're missing West of course, and we're also
Speaker 1: missing Greg right now because Greg he admitted himself that
Speaker 1: he had had procrastinated with some type of child duty
Speaker 1: that he has with signing up his daughter for something
Speaker 1: like the whole being a dad thing. Yeah, he pushed
Speaker 1: it back multiple times and now he had to do it,
Speaker 1: and he was hoping to be back by the start
Speaker 1: of the show, but he's he's stuck in traffic or something.
Speaker 1: He will be here, he's just not here yet. Hence
Speaker 1: some I think it's one of these in a good
Speaker 1: job by Greg on this because it's a pr level campaign.
Speaker 1: We're very publicly while all of us are here ignoring
Speaker 1: family members. Greg has put family first. He's out on
Speaker 1: the road and most people think what a great husband
Speaker 1: and dad Greg is. That's gonna be the takeaway. It's
Speaker 1: gonna help him. Well, is that how you view our jobs?
Speaker 1: Because I look at our jobs. That supporting our family,
Speaker 1: not ignoring them. Right, that's a fair argument. But uh,
Speaker 1: I mean during the season. You you know, this is
Speaker 1: the time of year where Gregg and Theory is doing
Speaker 1: the right thing. Also, is it good for the show?
Speaker 1: It's not great for the show, not not the best anyway.
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of the show, this is our
Speaker 1: first show without the great uh La sid who has
Speaker 1: moved on to greener pastures. Well put that way, or
Speaker 1: Utah is it greener than southern California? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I thought you met money, probably making more money. We
Speaker 1: didn't get into the specifics, but yeah, I think also
Speaker 1: living at home for a while, so you're just you're
Speaker 1: stashing away cash, and she had the influx of cash
Speaker 1: from our own listeners. Uh. Basically, she basically is a
Speaker 1: trust fund set up for her own children. One day.
Speaker 1: Money is no object for her never never will be again. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So behind the glass, uh filling in or in the interim,
Speaker 1: he is our interim producer put it that way, much
Speaker 1: like a uh Dan Campbell, he's our Dan Campbell. He
Speaker 1: is Sully. What's up, buddy? What's up? Guys and gals?
Speaker 1: Uh Sully of course, Uh, the producer of the I
Speaker 1: was gonna say popular, but the producer of the movie
Speaker 1: six podcast, I'm not going to be ignored with Daniel Jeremiah.
Speaker 1: So thank you for sitting in the chair. It is
Speaker 1: a big shoes to fill. Tiny feet for Sydney, but
Speaker 1: large shoes. But we have complete faith in you, Sully.
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. Yeah, it's it's been a while. It's it's
Speaker 1: going to be back in the chair. I think I
Speaker 1: filled in for said going into last football season. That's
Speaker 1: the last time I was on, so so it's good
Speaker 1: to at least see a familiar face behind the glass,
Speaker 1: although it's bitter sweet knowing that Sydney's on and I'm
Speaker 1: hoping to have a big announcement in the next week
Speaker 1: or so regarding uh, that chair right there that Sully
Speaker 1: currently occupies. But Sully a very busy man, not our
Speaker 1: full time uh answer there, but in the intern, Dan
Speaker 1: Campbell not the best choice to use. Who would be
Speaker 1: a better interm coach to throw out there? I like
Speaker 1: the Dan Campbell I did too. I mean Dan Campbell,
Speaker 1: if anything else, was sort of a striking figure, very handsome.
Speaker 1: Looked better, It looked better as a football player than
Speaker 1: most of his players on that team in shape. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and didn't keep the job though. I guess that's maybe
Speaker 1: where I rubbed you. And and you know, barring Sully
Speaker 1: pulling some sort of massive comeback, neither will he. I'm
Speaker 1: waiting for you, sullenly Sully behind the glass and today's show.
Speaker 1: Greg will join us eventually. Uh, this is a show
Speaker 1: that will feature some good things. I'm excited about the show.
Speaker 1: And it's a very slow time, extremely slow time of
Speaker 1: year news wise. But we haven't been with you since
Speaker 1: last Thursday, so there are some things to talk about.
Speaker 1: And um, I will say things are slow, things are dark.
Speaker 1: But today marks we are one hundred days away from
Speaker 1: real football September seventh, two thousand seventeen. The the Chiefs
Speaker 1: will get waxed by the Patriots in Foxboro to start
Speaker 1: the seventeen season, and we are one hundred days away.
Speaker 1: Is that why we celebrated this weekend your house? It
Speaker 1: wasn't Memorial Day, No, although we certainly love and respect
Speaker 1: all the people in the armed forces that have served us, Colleen,
Speaker 1: past and present. Uh, like my dad, I know, yeah,
Speaker 1: like your old man, Uh, Doug Fox, Uh, what is
Speaker 1: your father's name. You haven't you met Wolfe? You haven't
Speaker 1: great name. Ed wolf is a solid name. Ed Cessler's
Speaker 1: not bad either good. I mean it's a name from
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different genation. Let meet a
Speaker 1: lot of Ed Edwards of this. Yeah, his nickname is frenchie.
Speaker 1: I'm just not sure that, which is strange. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: get into the party maybe a little bit later. But
Speaker 1: we have much to get to because we're also a
Speaker 1: mega mail bag episode. Whoa who doesn't love mail? We
Speaker 1: got a lot to get to, a lot of listeners.
Speaker 1: It is a packed show, to say the least. Just happened.
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get it going, Sully, let's do
Speaker 1: some news Cindy from beyond the Grave. Mark, I think
Speaker 1: you know Sully's doing an excellent job out of the gate.
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of good nons. Not surprised
Speaker 1: at all. It's a professional. I just you know you've
Speaker 1: been working on a show not quite dup to par
Speaker 1: with ours, but you can I'm not going to be ignored.
Speaker 1: This is a I'll just stop talking to um. Let's
Speaker 1: aren't with the Cleveland Browns? Who listen? Browns are making moves?
Speaker 1: Rap Sheet reported on Tuesday that linebacker Christian Kirkzy has
Speaker 1: signed a four year, thirty eight million dollar deal UH
Speaker 1: packed a twenty million in guarantees. UH. The team later
Speaker 1: converned confirmed the signing, with Executive VP of Football Ops
Speaker 1: Sashi Brown saying in a statement that Kirkzy represents, quote
Speaker 1: another example of a young talented football player that we
Speaker 1: want to be part of our organization for the long term. Mark,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's how he speaks. You've got Kirksey fever. Well,
Speaker 1: I know that probably most people don't even know who
Speaker 1: Christian Kirksy is. And the one thing I'd say is,
Speaker 1: along with Joel Btonio, the only positive news to come
Speaker 1: out of a two thousand and four teen draft that
Speaker 1: was among the most disastrous for any team ever Johnny
Speaker 1: Manziel and Justin Gilbert in the first round, that Kirksey
Speaker 1: has been Who would have thought that Christian Kirkzy, the
Speaker 1: third round pick, would have been far more productive than
Speaker 1: both of those players put together in times five, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would multiply it by twelve, but you can multiply
Speaker 1: it by and twelve. Yeah, people don't recognize his name maybe,
Speaker 1: but he finished top three in the league and tackles
Speaker 1: only Bobby Wagner and Zach Brown had more. I mean,
Speaker 1: he is getting paid a ton. He's getting paid more
Speaker 1: than Donte high Tower. He's now the fourth highest paid.
Speaker 1: He's a week side linebacker, fourth highest paid inside linebacker
Speaker 1: in the league. And I will say that, Um, there
Speaker 1: was talk that Kirkzy maybe didn't even fit in with
Speaker 1: Greg Williams scheme. Apparently they've now decided that he will
Speaker 1: fit into Greg Williams scheme. Whether Greg Williams, I mean, well,
Speaker 1: I would hope that he had a say in this.
Speaker 1: The key is their problem is they keep finding players
Speaker 1: that fit into filling the blank defensive coordinators scheme, and
Speaker 1: then the guy's gone two years later. It doesn't work.
Speaker 1: If he's he's already switched away. Was inside, he's now
Speaker 1: going to move outside. He's not a good coverage linebacker
Speaker 1: and last year, but he's a great run stuffer. And
Speaker 1: the bottom line, they don't have a lot of players
Speaker 1: They've got to keep adding. But their defense is getting
Speaker 1: a little bit better if you look at it is
Speaker 1: an improving defense that Justin Gilbert has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with Mark You mentioned him as one of the busts
Speaker 1: of that infamous draft class for Cleveland. Justin Gilbert has
Speaker 1: been suspended by rod for four weeks, the first four
Speaker 1: weeks of the seventeen season. Uh Courtney Fallon of NFL
Speaker 1: Network reported rap Sheet reported it was due to violating
Speaker 1: the NFL Substances of Abuse policy. The number eight overall
Speaker 1: pick in the draft was cut by the Browns last year,
Speaker 1: or they traded by the Browns last year to the
Speaker 1: Steelers for a sixth round pick next year's draft. He
Speaker 1: played twelve games with the Steelers last year, but then
Speaker 1: was released in February. I don't know we're gonna see
Speaker 1: him again in the NFL. Colleen, Oh, he's not helping
Speaker 1: himself here. Two cuts in three years and now he
Speaker 1: suspended the first four games. I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: guy who uses I don't know if you guys remember
Speaker 1: this story, but he uses ten daily alarms to be
Speaker 1: oversleeping and missfan meetings. And they did not do the
Speaker 1: proper homework before they brought him in to find what
Speaker 1: kind of If you look at quickly at the players
Speaker 1: drafted in between Gilbert in number eight in two thousand
Speaker 1: fourteen and Manzelle's depressing exercise. You've got Anthony Barr, Taylor, Luan,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, Aaron Dollar, Ryan Shazier, Zach Martin. It goes
Speaker 1: on and on, Brandon Cooks. I mean they it was.
Speaker 1: It was a major whiff. And Gilbert who they traded
Speaker 1: up for is and it's a ridiculous misfire. And I
Speaker 1: guess they didn't draft Odell Beckham because they had Josh
Speaker 1: Gordon in the house coming off like an eighteen hundred
Speaker 1: yard season as might who was essentially it was. It
Speaker 1: was hours later we found out the next day that
Speaker 1: Gordon was sent back into the wilderness. So I hate
Speaker 1: that story. I just feel so bad for Josh Gordon.
Speaker 1: I know he did it to himself. But and finally,
Speaker 1: in Brown's news, Deshaun Kaiser, things are looking good. What
Speaker 1: powers act power is active? Wow, I'm mixing this news item.
Speaker 1: I called veto on it. All right, this is all right,
Speaker 1: very good, Connie. This is a new a new tool
Speaker 1: that each of us will get one per month. You
Speaker 1: have veto activation powers at any point during the news
Speaker 1: to completely wipe out a story you don't want to
Speaker 1: hear about the Shaan Kaza No, because we're going to
Speaker 1: keep hearing about this all preseason, all season up until
Speaker 1: they finally kick off. Look, I mean, you see these quotes.
Speaker 1: He's attached. Now you're talking. So I thought I had
Speaker 1: to explain myself that I'm My only issue would be
Speaker 1: why only once a month I could use that all
Speaker 1: day long? I didn't know about this. It would become
Speaker 1: our entire news. Uh if we had more than one
Speaker 1: per show or per week per month, that would all
Speaker 1: the news would be come around here. So that's true
Speaker 1: because I think I think the next news item is
Speaker 1: like definitely worth talking about. Here's yes and guess what
Speaker 1: Today's May three youth. So you've got a fresh new
Speaker 1: veto June first. So at the time it works out
Speaker 1: for you. Moving on good Strategy by Colleen Michael Vick. Oh,
Speaker 1: this was funny. It was Sunday night. I believe I
Speaker 1: was on my couch. Everyone else was asleep and I
Speaker 1: was just scrolling through I think it was ESPN, and
Speaker 1: I saw this headline Michael Vick Colan no talks with
Speaker 1: Falcons on one day retirement deal, and I thought to myself,
Speaker 1: we've done it. We have reached the bottom of the barrel.
Speaker 1: In the two thousand seventeen offseason news cycle. We cannot
Speaker 1: go lower than Michael Vick larifying that they're having no
Speaker 1: talks yet on a one day retirement deal to retire
Speaker 1: as a Falcon. Who, by the way, Mike, yeah, come
Speaker 1: back to us just a little bit. Why would the
Speaker 1: Falcons a team you were elect, you're fighting in your
Speaker 1: first several years of the team, but then basically, uh,
Speaker 1: submarine the entire franchise for you know, two years about
Speaker 1: with your dog fighting stuff that led to a federal
Speaker 1: prison or a situation your antics, antics feels almost a
Speaker 1: little week in this your he but he was at
Speaker 1: a home game during the regular season. I think Arthur
Speaker 1: Blank maybe invited him to the final game of the
Speaker 1: regular season in Atlanta, so which is maybe things are
Speaker 1: a little bit better. I'm just saying that's fine. I
Speaker 1: don't think he should be run out of town forever.
Speaker 1: He's obviously cleaned his life up and and done the
Speaker 1: right things since getting out of prison. But that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean now that the Falcon should call press conference to
Speaker 1: to retire. You're You're not. You know what if Michael
Speaker 1: Vick was just like sitting at home or was out
Speaker 1: somewhere and a reporter or writer just saw him and
Speaker 1: just asked him randomly about this, and now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, we're like, Michael Vick calmed down, man, That's
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. This is what told the man. Well,
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to anybody about it specifically. It's something
Speaker 1: that I've really been thinking about trying to get done.
Speaker 1: I was asked the question the other day, is that
Speaker 1: what I want? And I said, yeah, so yeah, I
Speaker 1: think in due time it's something that can potentially have
Speaker 1: Oh my god, where at the bottom. This is the bottom?
Speaker 1: I mean news. They talk about news being information that
Speaker 1: you don't already know and you might not like when
Speaker 1: you get it, And this is not news. I could
Speaker 1: care less about this story, but I do. I do
Speaker 1: think that one thing, if you're Michael Vicker, if you're
Speaker 1: someone with a complex past, think about how you want
Speaker 1: to retire. I would just ghost out of there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when I leave this company, I'm just gonna ghost out.
Speaker 1: You don't want to retire here, I will vanish one day.
Speaker 1: Well I would retire here, but just you just you
Speaker 1: disappear entirely. Well, you need a party in eight team
Speaker 1: going away events? No, you just you. It's a weird
Speaker 1: thing that that guys do. I mean, I I sort
Speaker 1: of understand it, but also it's kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's enough, you're done playing what you need another ceremony? Now?
Speaker 1: That just too much about Sorry, there's just people went
Speaker 1: too hard on that. Yeah, Mark, by the way of
Speaker 1: all of us, um at least in the newsroom portion
Speaker 1: of the around the NFL group, could he's best equipped
Speaker 1: to just pick up and go. You don't have a
Speaker 1: lot of items on your desk. I think you've done
Speaker 1: it before in the past, haven't you where you just
Speaker 1: basically pick up one picture frame, uh, and maybe one
Speaker 1: notebook and just walk away. Not not as a married person,
Speaker 1: because you've got a different level of responsibility, but in
Speaker 1: your twenties, you know, you're working some temp job. Just
Speaker 1: send in like a typewritten note with the other friend
Speaker 1: that you had that was working there, and give it
Speaker 1: to the boss and you never reappear. Greg just got
Speaker 1: here and he's doing something behind the glass And I
Speaker 1: don't understand, Greg, What are you doing? I know you
Speaker 1: can hear us. Why don't you just come sit down?
Speaker 1: What do you you have a bit planned? Are we
Speaker 1: stepping on a bit. I think he brought in his
Speaker 1: own headphones. Here he comes, he's coming. We'll get him
Speaker 1: on the second is the and the entrance. There he
Speaker 1: is NFL Networks. Greg Rosenthal, thank you very much here
Speaker 1: with NFL dot com. Greg ros dot com dot com
Speaker 1: dot com dot com. See if you had stood up, Dan,
Speaker 1: you could see that I brought my daughter and I
Speaker 1: was setting her up because we were we were running late,
Speaker 1: and so I was trying to set her up at
Speaker 1: a station, Dy Bubbles, So you were doing a good job.
Speaker 1: You're doing that. I was trying to set her up.
Speaker 1: She was she, I was funny, I was. She was disappointed.
Speaker 1: She was like, oh, is Sydney going to be there?
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, she's done at Sully. And
Speaker 1: she was like, Sully, come on, yeah, who's that? Did
Speaker 1: you say, no, honey, Sydney quit on us? Did you
Speaker 1: say that? I would never You've just left her in
Speaker 1: Sully's care for the next thirty forty minutes. I can
Speaker 1: sell here. I got my Uh let's move on. And
Speaker 1: it's good timing, Greg, because now we're onto the throne
Speaker 1: of ease. It's the place I know that you know
Speaker 1: very well, very comfortable. The New England Patriots have added
Speaker 1: yet another wide receiver to their group. Uh. They announced
Speaker 1: the thief excuse me, Andrew Hawkins announced the former Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns wide out is joining the reigning Super Bowl champions.
Speaker 1: Rap sheet said it's a one year deal. Uh. The
Speaker 1: white Out turned down more lucrative offers elsewhere to join
Speaker 1: New England and maybe that won't be the best decision.
Speaker 1: We'll see, but there's a lot of wide receivers on
Speaker 1: the paths, including Julian Edelin, Chris Hogan, Malcolm Mitchell, and
Speaker 1: Danny Amandola. Not to mention Brandon Cooks. It's even gonna
Speaker 1: make this team, Greg I would say he has a
Speaker 1: less than fifty percent chance to make the team. But
Speaker 1: you would think, you know, sometimes injuries happen in training camp.
Speaker 1: On paper, you would think him and Danny Amendola at
Speaker 1: Bastar would be fighting for one spot and would give
Speaker 1: old baby Hawk a chance at winning that battle. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is. This is a guy who months ago went
Speaker 1: into the front office of the Browns and basically asked
Speaker 1: to end his career with the team, and months later,
Speaker 1: here he is in New England. I mean, he just
Speaker 1: he just got his degree right from Columbia last week,
Speaker 1: so he's clearly a smart guy. One of my favorites
Speaker 1: going way back in the day. One of the first
Speaker 1: athletes ever I think to tweet at me because I
Speaker 1: was a big fan. I was a big fan of
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin's I probably told this story before Michael Irvin's
Speaker 1: reality show Fourth and Long, where they were going to
Speaker 1: find a player that could join the Cowboys four training camp.
Speaker 1: It was actually a pretty good show and Baby Hawk
Speaker 1: came in second on that show, did not get the
Speaker 1: free spot, but he did. You know, he was kind
Speaker 1: of a fan favorite and ended up having a nice
Speaker 1: little career here. You have reference that program before Near
Speaker 1: and Dear to your Heart. Yeah, that's fun. I was
Speaker 1: like the only person watching it, and uh, I think
Speaker 1: Baby Hawk appreciated my weekly recaps on Pro Football time.
Speaker 1: I think it's brother to like talked him into playing
Speaker 1: for them because his brother spent some time with the team.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a curious decision considering he took half
Speaker 1: as much as other teams were offering him. With the
Speaker 1: plethora of receivers they have there, it's crazy. They're they're
Speaker 1: basically building like an all slot offense, Edelman him, Gronk Cooks.
Speaker 1: It's like everything is between the numbers. But that the
Speaker 1: tallest one. Hogan's a big guy. I think he's the
Speaker 1: tallest dude, and the rest of him's big. Malcolm Mitchell's big,
Speaker 1: but yeah, the rest of him. It sounds like a
Speaker 1: fatal roster construction for the Patriots. Seven and nine. Here
Speaker 1: we come. I can't do it. Moving on, Oh, it's
Speaker 1: time to talk bucks Kickers Folk. Two men enter, one
Speaker 1: man lives, all right, here's aggressive. Wow, that soundtrap almost
Speaker 1: didn't even sound like a sound have just sounded like
Speaker 1: our normal I didn't know they were playing for their
Speaker 1: lives either. On some level, it's his football life, I
Speaker 1: would say. Robbie Aguayo certainly the second round pick who struggled.
Speaker 1: In the two practices of an O t a s
Speaker 1: that were that the media could watch. Aguayo went five
Speaker 1: for nine, including, of course we know, one for four
Speaker 1: on the narrow goal posts kicks eight and a half
Speaker 1: feet wide, and as our friend Joe bucks Fan reported,
Speaker 1: you could hear a pin drop a practice, total hush
Speaker 1: fellow over the crowd. Uh and and the next practice
Speaker 1: Greg was like, who cares? Went about the next practice, Well,
Speaker 1: he did better. He went on. He went four or
Speaker 1: five from thirty five for four thirty five to forty
Speaker 1: yards on regulation posts, which, by the way, mark our
Speaker 1: eighteen and a half feet. Good to know you are
Speaker 1: on top of this subject, and you have been from
Speaker 1: beginning to end. Five is not even that good. From
Speaker 1: thirty five to four, I mean it's fine. Do the
Speaker 1: math five for nine uh four aguayo. Nicky folk, by
Speaker 1: the way, not for nothing. The most accurate kicker in
Speaker 1: Jets history nine of nine and now Dark Cutter spoke
Speaker 1: to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times about the situation.
Speaker 1: The competition has definitely started. I know everybody feels it.
Speaker 1: There's a little tension we're when we're going through that.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. That's a good thing. This is
Speaker 1: pro football. They're supposed to be competition. Whoa folk, it's
Speaker 1: a hard knocks life, get it. Yeah's up that. I'm
Speaker 1: just so happy that I have Dan through this entire
Speaker 1: process to update us on every Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1: But you really are our expert with the kicking battles,
Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm so happy that we have you.
Speaker 1: Two well eighteen and a half. Keep us up to date.
Speaker 1: This is gonna end with Aguayo like in a car
Speaker 1: chase in the middle of Tampa somewhere in the final
Speaker 1: episode of Hard Knocks. I'm a little worried they're they're
Speaker 1: not going to have anything, you know, any time left
Speaker 1: for the rest of the Bucks, that the Kicker battle
Speaker 1: will essentially take over all of Hard Knocks and UH
Speaker 1: and other Bucks news Cutter is not happy with the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers social media team, which I don't think
Speaker 1: we talked about this last week, but I did write
Speaker 1: about it on the end a round. They had trolled
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons on Twitter, the Bucks social account. Oh
Speaker 1: that's wonderful. I love that. Yeah, this is part of this,
Speaker 1: this whole culture. Anyway, they had posted a photo uh Falcon.
Speaker 1: The Falcons social team had tried to get into a
Speaker 1: little back and forth fund back and forth with the
Speaker 1: and then the Bucks replied uh with a comment we
Speaker 1: ain't worried about nothing, and then a photo of who
Speaker 1: is that Greg? I think that's Vernon hard Graves. Vernon Hardgraves. Uh.
Speaker 1: The running back number twenty eighth, fist pounding number three,
Speaker 1: jamis Winston in the Bucks locker room at some point
Speaker 1: last season three, which of course has become kind of
Speaker 1: an Internet meme of sorts for taunting Falcons, the team
Speaker 1: and their fan base, and Derek Cutter had this to
Speaker 1: say once that went viral, I want to make sure,
Speaker 1: on behalf of the Bucks organization that I apologize to
Speaker 1: the Falcons for whatever that was supposed to be that
Speaker 1: went on social spent on social media. That's not what
Speaker 1: our organization is about. Somebody is getting well, this is
Speaker 1: like the This is the multiple incidents this offseason of
Speaker 1: team executives having to apologize for the clunky like you know,
Speaker 1: team versus team tweet offs at ridiculous. I don't know
Speaker 1: why they're apologizing, Like who cares. The NBA does it
Speaker 1: all the time, and it's fine and it's funny, but
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody. It almost makes the head coach
Speaker 1: is the one that's tweeting it out. Just say, if
Speaker 1: you're the Box and you're you're tweeting three, you're tweeting
Speaker 1: on a team that just got to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: You haven't won a playoff game since you won the
Speaker 1: they would say the Falcons that started it, you know,
Speaker 1: the Falcons started business. They didn't. They were it was something.
Speaker 1: It was pretty, it was very mellow. Their app it
Speaker 1: was supposed to be kind of sweet, and it was
Speaker 1: clearly they just were looking to have some fun and
Speaker 1: then they got totally buried. Yeah, it was almost it's
Speaker 1: almost too much, though, to apologize for something so minor.
Speaker 1: It makes it yeah, exactly, and they're kind of let's
Speaker 1: be real. He worked for the Falcons for many years.
Speaker 1: They helped out his career, you know, at a big time.
Speaker 1: You know, he has friends, theories, he's embarrassed, Like, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine Bruce arians apologizing for something that the Cardinal
Speaker 1: Social account puts out. And they put out some funny
Speaker 1: stuff tweets Bruce. It was laughing at them. It was
Speaker 1: a tough it would be funny. This one was less funny.
Speaker 1: It was a tough week for the The Buccaneers equivalent
Speaker 1: to Bryce Gustafson, you know, the the Goose, our social
Speaker 1: media maven here, Yeah, goose who hasn't had a day
Speaker 1: off or left this office in roughly two years. They
Speaker 1: keep them in a locked room and uh, they have
Speaker 1: a little hamster wheel for him to get some exercise,
Speaker 1: and they said, keep on updating our various social accounts here,
Speaker 1: including our own around the NFL count does a good
Speaker 1: job of it. Yeah. Uh, Finally in the news, Chip
Speaker 1: Kelly is resurfaced. How about that? According to ESPN Coaching
Speaker 1: again not quite. ESPN reports that Kelly will be a
Speaker 1: studio analyst for the Sports Network mainly on ESPN too,
Speaker 1: for quote college football pregames, halftime and studio wraps each Saturday.
Speaker 1: This according to a release sent out by the company,
Speaker 1: Kelly will also appear in Sports Center on Fridays and Sunday's,
Speaker 1: offering insight on college and NFL games. Now, I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna quick to say, oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be bad. Chip Kelly's a stiff. He
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to be a human being. But you
Speaker 1: know who I really like. I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: still there, but Eric Mangini does a nice job in
Speaker 1: the studio. And Eric Mangini is the last guy that
Speaker 1: I thought would be good in front of the cameras. Uh,
Speaker 1: So I kind of see Chip and Mangini in a
Speaker 1: similar way on some level. So I could see that Chip.
Speaker 1: Chip is really quick and he's witty, like I remember
Speaker 1: that just from being in Philly and covering the eagles
Speaker 1: when I was there, he would I mean he talks
Speaker 1: really fast, trying to just log the sound bites and
Speaker 1: everything when we would get when we would get back. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a nightmare a little bit, but I think that
Speaker 1: he would actually be kind of good at just explaining
Speaker 1: things and and kind of messing around with the other
Speaker 1: guys on the panel. You know, who's the best market.
Speaker 1: In our earlier days here at this company, when one
Speaker 1: of our tasks, and we still do it on things
Speaker 1: from time to time, but when we had to transcribe
Speaker 1: a lot of press conferences and interviews and things of
Speaker 1: that nature, Uh, by far, the best person to transcribe
Speaker 1: was Jerry Jones, who speaks in a very measured cadence
Speaker 1: in a in a Texas draw and it was easy
Speaker 1: to transcribe. Chip Kelly might be the opposite a nightmare
Speaker 1: to transcribe. I think Chip will be good. I think
Speaker 1: this helps set him up to Uh. First of all,
Speaker 1: he's getting five million bucks or more from the Yorks
Speaker 1: this year, so you make a little scratch on top
Speaker 1: of that, and then you're watching all the trends that
Speaker 1: aren's out there in the college game, maybe putting him
Speaker 1: back into his pocket to use either in the NFL
Speaker 1: next year as a coordinator. Maybe he returns to college
Speaker 1: as a coach, like it's a it's a nice little
Speaker 1: landing spot for a year, year two to kind of
Speaker 1: watch the game from from a bird's eye view. I
Speaker 1: did do a peace slash year talking to coaches where
Speaker 1: they took a sabbatical year, but that most of them
Speaker 1: forced into it. But they said exactly that, that you actually,
Speaker 1: for the first time in half a decade or a decade,
Speaker 1: take a step back and see other players that you're
Speaker 1: gonna be compete against. But it come on still with
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly. We are three or four years removed from
Speaker 1: writing in say long think pieces about this guy and
Speaker 1: how he's revolutionizing the NFL, and he couldn't even find
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator job this offseason. You know who never
Speaker 1: bought it, the old zeuser never bought it. Well, good
Speaker 1: for you little remote control cars on the field and
Speaker 1: his little shakes smoothies. It always felt transparent that he
Speaker 1: didn't fit in. I wonder if he'll um give up
Speaker 1: on the NFL dream and go back to college where
Speaker 1: there's some big jobs opening up potentially next year, that
Speaker 1: he could easily my mater being one of them. Would
Speaker 1: you like I would love to see him a Tennessee
Speaker 1: love to think any anything fan would be happy to
Speaker 1: see him. I don't think he wants to I think
Speaker 1: if the supposedly that Atlanta job, he would have had
Speaker 1: a good chance. If if Sarkesian didn't work out, and
Speaker 1: if he could get the right job, I think he
Speaker 1: really wants to stay. I thought, who wants the mess with?
Speaker 1: You know, amateur athletics is a sham, except a lower quit.
Speaker 1: It's an easy, clushy job. Easy though they want foot
Speaker 1: ball all year round all their lives. You know that.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that most college coaches would consider coaching
Speaker 1: a top ten Division one school easy. It's not easy.
Speaker 1: I think they think it's easy compared to the NFL,
Speaker 1: I think there's more job security. It depends where he's at.
Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the news. Elevate your underwear game

Speaker 1: these people are listening, I want you to know that
Speaker 1: multiple people have tweeted us saying they're waiting for that
Speaker 1: around the NFL podcast individualized offer code before we dive
Speaker 1: in with some underpants. Moving on, it's had to open
Speaker 1: up them. Mega mail bag, Baby, it's a mega mail bag.
Speaker 1: I'm so exciting, Greg, Are you excited? What's the difference
Speaker 1: between a mega mail bag and a regular mail bag?
Speaker 1: This one is seven minutes longer than the regular mail
Speaker 1: which makes that mega is mega? Might oh Gary Barnage.
Speaker 1: Poor guys sending out like flares up into the sky. Now,
Speaker 1: hey hire me. Poor guy's pretty good tight ends. You
Speaker 1: should have them on. You'll get a job. Okay, what
Speaker 1: do you have? Some inside info work? It's just how
Speaker 1: these things work. I think Greg wrote about this last
Speaker 1: week with contracts. Are all these pro rated, you know,
Speaker 1: prolonged to like hold out or looking for a work thing,
Speaker 1: It all gets worked out. Just fast forward to August.
Speaker 1: Just a reminder, though, Mark, if you do I wanna
Speaker 1: go with this, What hand gestures are you doing right now?
Speaker 1: Any breaking news? That's all not treating his breaking. It's
Speaker 1: just it's just the way things are in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I've got four thousand sources on that all right, let's
Speaker 1: open up the mail bag and will start. And by
Speaker 1: the way, again, thanks to everyone who sent in UH
Speaker 1: mail bag queries. We got many, and UH we respect you.
Speaker 1: First up, Chris McCarthy gets the honor of our first question.
Speaker 1: At another Chris mc how do you think the OT
Speaker 1: rule change will affect strategy? Will teams take more risks? Now? Again?
Speaker 1: I need to I asked Greg, I said Greg, trying
Speaker 1: to make sense of this to me, the new overtime
Speaker 1: policy shortened to ten minutes. Uh, and it was ostensibly
Speaker 1: about player safety or whatever. But how do you think
Speaker 1: it changes Colleen? I mean, I think when you look
Speaker 1: at it and you and you want to say it's
Speaker 1: about player safety, I don't really buy that at all.
Speaker 1: I think that it's going to change the way the
Speaker 1: teams are then, but I have no idea why, because
Speaker 1: what's five minutes less? Why not just get rid of
Speaker 1: the whole overtime? Then, if you're really worried the question,
Speaker 1: how do you think the change will affect strategy? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it will make teams more aggressive been those
Speaker 1: five minutes, we'll call things a little different without those
Speaker 1: five minutes. Yeah, I mean, when you get if you
Speaker 1: don't get the ball first, I think you'll be a
Speaker 1: little more likely to go for fourth down. And if
Speaker 1: you're at midfield, you know you might not assume you're
Speaker 1: getting the ball back a second time if if you're
Speaker 1: the second team to get it. More importantly, do you
Speaker 1: know that the game's ending with ten minutes left? So
Speaker 1: it just abbreviates everything. It's going to change the decision
Speaker 1: you're gonna get into your uh, hurry up offense, quicker.
Speaker 1: That's why everyone's saying like, well, there only would have
Speaker 1: been a couple of games that would have gone into overtime.
Speaker 1: Who knows how they would have gone last year, Because
Speaker 1: if you're at if the overtimes only ten minutes, you're
Speaker 1: gonna play it very differently. Yeah, and if you go
Speaker 1: up tempo, you're gonna be running more snaps anyway. But
Speaker 1: there's an overtime rule that was put in a few
Speaker 1: years back where unless you score touchdown or touchdowns scored
Speaker 1: in a possession the first possession, or it's to turn
Speaker 1: over a touchdown, uh, the other team gets the ball,
Speaker 1: can you now conceivably take the ball, march down the field,
Speaker 1: get deep into your opponents to doory run the clock
Speaker 1: all the way down and have essentially ten minute driving.
Speaker 1: That's one way it could change. I mean, granted, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be looking to get a field goal at
Speaker 1: the end of that, but if you could end up
Speaker 1: slowing the game down, having a long drive and making
Speaker 1: it very difficult, imagine if you yeah, that's a great
Speaker 1: way to do it. Dan, that's the way to do it,
Speaker 1: Chiff Kelly off ten minute drives. You don't need to
Speaker 1: wait till overtime to try to put it. Start at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game. Do that here, matriculate down
Speaker 1: to their twenty five or so, and it takes like
Speaker 1: seven minutes to do it right, Then they might start
Speaker 1: having to use time outs and then yeah, you get
Speaker 1: two time outs, are thinking overtime. Then it becomes a
Speaker 1: I could say, you know, Belichick will be the first
Speaker 1: guy to bang somebody on this it chiefs Um and
Speaker 1: that game ain't going over time. That will be a
Speaker 1: blood bath. What team is going to be the most
Speaker 1: improved of the upcoming off season? This from uh see
Speaker 1: him punk but socialist at Mitchell cares Um. The complicated
Speaker 1: name a little bit strange, but respect your buddy. Alright,
Speaker 1: So now it's pure wins and losses. I want to
Speaker 1: I'm looking right now at the two thousand seven, two
Speaker 1: thousand sixteen standings, so most improved by Winds boys and girls,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, the Browns make sense. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be a popular choice by a lot of people. Even
Speaker 1: if the Browns don't uh make real noise the season.
Speaker 1: If they go six and ten this year, they've improved
Speaker 1: five games, and with the talent they have and some
Speaker 1: good vibes and a couple of things go their way.
Speaker 1: I feel like if you were somebody that goes to
Speaker 1: the desert, or you know, we're associated with some of
Speaker 1: the people Greg association themselves, the Browns make a lot
Speaker 1: of sense. I mean, by odds, it's hard to to
Speaker 1: plicate a one in fifteen season date. Some teams do it,
Speaker 1: but even during many of their crappy years, they won
Speaker 1: six games. But how about a team like the Chargers.
Speaker 1: You I think at five and eleven last year, you
Speaker 1: underperformed record wise from what you were, and they could
Speaker 1: easily I could easily see them going to eleven and five.
Speaker 1: That's a six game positive. Plus. I don't see the
Speaker 1: Browns going seven and nine or the or the going
Speaker 1: eight and eight. Necessarily, I like the Chargers. I feel
Speaker 1: like they lost a lot of games that they almost
Speaker 1: won right at the end, just because of the amount
Speaker 1: of injuries they had to But if we're going sheer
Speaker 1: wins and losses, I'm going with the Patriots. What they
Speaker 1: I know, it's so scary. They they can only get
Speaker 1: two games improvement. Exactly. They're better than they were last year,
Speaker 1: you're saying, I mean, look at what they did even
Speaker 1: the draft aside they got Brandon Cook's coney. Really they
Speaker 1: held on to Malcolm Butler, they signed stuff on Gilmore.
Speaker 1: I this this team looks better than they did last
Speaker 1: yearn't get sucked in on the Jaguars people, I think.
Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars are I would agree the Chargers
Speaker 1: are the first and steal the show. Chargers are the
Speaker 1: first team that came to my But I think the
Speaker 1: Jaguars sitting there at three. All they gotta do is
Speaker 1: get to eight or nine in a lousy division. But
Speaker 1: they're They're a good candidate to make a big and
Speaker 1: out about the Panthers, and last year Panthers are a
Speaker 1: good one. Bengals only had six wins last year. I
Speaker 1: can I can see them back in the place and
Speaker 1: then a real dark course because they because they only
Speaker 1: went four and twelve last year. You get Wade Phillips
Speaker 1: running the defense, you scratch out just kind of an
Speaker 1: ugly nine and seven record. Maybe that division is not
Speaker 1: as good enough. I think the Rams could be in
Speaker 1: that mix of the most improved. Mr Roosevelt. You had
Speaker 1: to sit down with son of Bum recently, didn't you.
Speaker 1: I did. I. I spoke with him on Friday. We'll
Speaker 1: be using that for an upcoming peace. But the he
Speaker 1: was great. I mean, he was exactly how you'd expect,
Speaker 1: very plain spoken in just kind of what you see
Speaker 1: is what you get. Like Wade Phillips is not trying
Speaker 1: to sound like hide anything, He's not trying to be
Speaker 1: anything other than he is. He's like his dad, Bum Phillips.
Speaker 1: Like he in his book which which he was promoting,
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of great stories about about getting
Speaker 1: hired and fired, and you realize, like how much the
Speaker 1: NFL is like other working environments, how stupid the owners
Speaker 1: are sometimes, like how random the hirings are. And if
Speaker 1: you look at his track record, he improves every single
Speaker 1: defense that he joins significantly, and they were kind of
Speaker 1: middle of the pack last year. So if they have
Speaker 1: a top defense and he's got the players. He was
Speaker 1: really pumped up about Robert Quinn saying he reminded him
Speaker 1: a lot of DeMarcus where thinks he's gonna be huge.
Speaker 1: If they can have a top level defense, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe they scratch out eight nine wins um that the
Speaker 1: press conference after the Broncos won the Super Bowl two
Speaker 1: years ago, Uh, Cam Newton melting down was obviously was
Speaker 1: the big news after the Super Bowl, which happened on
Speaker 1: the other side of this curtain. But my favorite memory
Speaker 1: from that Super Bowl was uh being right in front
Speaker 1: of Wade Phillips after he finally won a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and him just totally uh down to earth guy ChIL
Speaker 1: dude that you could clearly tell like he had reached
Speaker 1: a major milestone in his career. They just see a
Speaker 1: guy you like to root for. So he's been in
Speaker 1: the league forty years and he's done it his way,
Speaker 1: Like in a league where you're not supposed to become
Speaker 1: friends with with your players or be a players coch
Speaker 1: like that is what he is. He has been unapologetic
Speaker 1: about it the whole way, and he says he doesn't buy,
Speaker 1: he doesn't buy into the whole that you know way.
Speaker 1: I love it. Moving on this one from Matt Churchward
Speaker 1: at Not So Secret Rack serious. All right, this one
Speaker 1: is more than's no offense than Matt. But if the
Speaker 1: heroes were the four characters and the Hangover, who would
Speaker 1: be who? Um? First of all, it's a bad state
Speaker 1: of uh major commercial release comedies that we're still citing
Speaker 1: The Hangover as a recent comedy hit. But more about this,
Speaker 1: because we got this a lot like if you the
Speaker 1: four heroes were the Beatles, who would be who? Usually
Speaker 1: in this scenario there's always one guy that nobody would
Speaker 1: want to be, so in this scenario would be Zach
Speaker 1: Alfanaki's ringo star for the for for the Beatles. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm moratorium on ranked four heroes in this
Speaker 1: other group before where one of the group is like
Speaker 1: a total moron or seen as far in fury because
Speaker 1: it just was gonna lead to hurt feelings that detecting
Speaker 1: the group. I like that? Yeah? Is that all right? Correct?
Speaker 1: This makes sense to me. I'm not overly familiar with
Speaker 1: the Hangover, so I'm please skip it. Moving out, Oh, Greg,
Speaker 1: this one's right up your alley. Eric Jensen at Eric eighteen, Utah.
Speaker 1: What are Greg's top five rap artists? Greg? Uh? You know,
Speaker 1: in terms of street cred, Greg is way off the
Speaker 1: charts when compared to the rest. This is a ridiculous
Speaker 1: fan of hip hop? Greg, Who are your first? Of all?
Speaker 1: I love lots of other different types of music. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's just a real rap. Well, I had written this
Speaker 1: down earlier, but that was, you know, back earlier than
Speaker 1: day when I am my computer. I don't want to
Speaker 1: get this wrong. All right, little you gotta start. Little
Speaker 1: Wayne is right there is here number one artists of all.
Speaker 1: He's in the top five. He's in the top five.
Speaker 1: Little Wayne, just as a pure, pure mc jay Z
Speaker 1: is absolutely in there. Now, this is my personal one.
Speaker 1: Maybe not the greatest, but you know, my personal Then
Speaker 1: it's Kanye. I'm gonna put Kendrick in there now because
Speaker 1: I cannot stop listening to Damn. I can't remember now
Speaker 1: that I'm more addicted to just let my kids like it.
Speaker 1: They're like, you know the center, Well you put the
Speaker 1: center version of uh. And then I'm gonna cheat, and
Speaker 1: I would think number one overall and it's a group,
Speaker 1: but that's Outcast. So if I have to set them up,
Speaker 1: separate them in terms of m c s, I put
Speaker 1: them both in there and kick Kendrick out. But but
Speaker 1: Outcast is number one on my list. Three weeks ago,
Speaker 1: you were saying Chance was already I said he had it.
Speaker 1: I said, I said, well, this is only comes in
Speaker 1: and he's the new kid on the ball. The other
Speaker 1: Kendricks weren't, as you know, re listenable over and over
Speaker 1: and over, so that that was missing. But he's got
Speaker 1: the talent. All right, Good, there you go, Greg's rap corner. Uh.
Speaker 1: Moving on, Jimmy Tunes at tunes tunes. Uh is welcome
Speaker 1: back to another edition? Deliberately incorrect? Surely either welcome to
Speaker 1: another or welcome back to the A t M podcast. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Jimmy, I honestly never thought of it. He's
Speaker 1: absolutely right, But welcome back to another addition. Why isn't
Speaker 1: that work? Now you've not been you've not been at
Speaker 1: this new edition before. We're not. We're welcoming you back
Speaker 1: to the show that you've listened to, but this edition
Speaker 1: you've never been to. He's right, you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: block Jimmy right now, Okay, well all right, Jimmy, I
Speaker 1: will not take that under advisement, but you are correct,
Speaker 1: I am not technically accurate. Uh. In the intro of
Speaker 1: the show for the past could be a little more concise.
Speaker 1: Think of all the time, like if you added up
Speaker 1: taken out that word over the years, you could have
Speaker 1: saved an hour and a half of someone's life. I've
Speaker 1: taken so much time from you, guys, and I can
Speaker 1: never give it back to the Sorry. Uh. This one
Speaker 1: was kind of interesting. It is from Chris Goldby at
Speaker 1: Sea Goldby and I, first of all, I was kind
Speaker 1: of drawn to it because once again Greg is rocking
Speaker 1: a Henley right now? Is that wooden buttons on your Henley?
Speaker 1: Three buttons up? These are plastic? Okay, plastic kind of
Speaker 1: look look like would how much of a is Don
Speaker 1: Henley for doing shows as the Eagles without Glenn Fry.
Speaker 1: I'll hang up and listen off air now, Glenn Fry.
Speaker 1: It was like a one two punt. You know a
Speaker 1: lot of legendary bands, it's usually two guys. It's the
Speaker 1: singer and the guitarist and they do the songwriting and
Speaker 1: obviously the singing and everybody else is kind of interchangeable
Speaker 1: in the band. Ultimately, they don't want to hear that.
Speaker 1: The drummer doesn't want to hear that, the bass player
Speaker 1: doesn't want to hear that. But all the great bands,
Speaker 1: it's two guys. Maybe the Beatles with it besides Ringo
Speaker 1: are an exception here. But even then, obviously Lennon McCartney,
Speaker 1: Jagger and Richards like this show you and Sully here
Speaker 1: the two two guys. Everyone else is replaceable. So Glenn
Speaker 1: Fry passed away sadly last year, uh suddenly, and uh
Speaker 1: Don Henley is now going on in a big money
Speaker 1: making tour under the Eagle's name. Glenn Fry would not
Speaker 1: like that. By the way, The question here is how
Speaker 1: much of a jerk is Don Henley for doing it?
Speaker 1: It's pretty big jerk. I would say, would we if
Speaker 1: one of us were to kick the bucket? Um? Would
Speaker 1: the podcast continue? Would we go on? Or would we
Speaker 1: do a different project? I guess that's what where should
Speaker 1: we not pop? Call Kettle Black thing? You know? I
Speaker 1: mean a lot of times it's that there's listener demand
Speaker 1: that longtime fans of the band want this, Like Phil
Speaker 1: Lesh and Friends has been fronting the Grateful Dead for
Speaker 1: for ages now and there isn't a wild issue with it,
Speaker 1: but they just Jerry Garcia like spinning in his grave.
Speaker 1: I guess what's the other option that what everything that
Speaker 1: you did goes totally dark and you're quickly replaced by
Speaker 1: a bunch of forgettable music in its place. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not even in that person's name. Why don't you just
Speaker 1: keep it going? I feel like sucking as much cash
Speaker 1: out of baby boomers pockets as humanly possible is right?
Speaker 1: In the Eagles, that's their brand. With the Eagles, well,
Speaker 1: they had they had a very they had a contentious,
Speaker 1: contentious relationship. I am not a huge Eagles fan. I'm
Speaker 1: a fan of rock music and they are. They have
Speaker 1: a big place in rock music's past. And they put
Speaker 1: out an amazing documentary which I even if you're not
Speaker 1: an Eagles fan, it's just a great look at seventies
Speaker 1: rock that's on Netflix. Don't watch part two though, but
Speaker 1: to part one, it's long. It's very long. Uh So, anyway,
Speaker 1: I have come down that we would like if I
Speaker 1: kicked the bucket and then you guys kept going, if
Speaker 1: you around the NFL podcast and just like plugged in
Speaker 1: somebody for me, like Colleen, who's gonna four to obviously anyway,
Speaker 1: uh logical, would be upset. I'd be upset. I would haunt,
Speaker 1: I would haunt your dreams. He would he would just
Speaker 1: sabotage the pod. Yeah, I would. I mean I wouldn't
Speaker 1: think it would go in so I curse you. That
Speaker 1: would be me in Greg's Santa Monica Home. I mean
Speaker 1: I would want everyone to, you know, continue to to
Speaker 1: make their to make their living was going to do.
Speaker 1: I would final destination all of you if you did,
Speaker 1: you would want everybody to just like be miserable like it,
Speaker 1: like Colleen Colleen Wolf of NFL Media strangled herself with
Speaker 1: tooth her own dental flaws somehow, like just elaborate final
Speaker 1: destination deaths for all. It's so dark. It just always
Speaker 1: gets so dark in here. I get it, kind of
Speaker 1: moving on the way to go strange. Simon wins Stanley
Speaker 1: at Simon York c A who has more rushing yards
Speaker 1: this season all fifty Patriots backs? Or Levy on Bell
Speaker 1: Now you left, ha ha ha funny funny funny. But
Speaker 1: and I did some research here. Legard Blunt, Dion Lewis
Speaker 1: and James White, who were the three primary ball carriers
Speaker 1: for the two thousand sixteen Patriots eighteen hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: two yards in total, three point nine yards per carrying,
Speaker 1: nineteen touchdowns and four two carries. Uh, the Patriots have
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different look in their backfield
Speaker 1: this year, and big one actually big difference without Blunt there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think the Patriots fifty running backs for whoever,
Speaker 1: however many probably will get more than left Bell. But
Speaker 1: you want to sell Bell short either, would you? I mean?
Speaker 1: Bell is one player, yeah, one magnificent player he had,
Speaker 1: and we they did in an NFL media research team
Speaker 1: did a bunch of one hundred related things for this
Speaker 1: one hundred days to the start of the regular season.
Speaker 1: One of them was that leave Bell I believe had
Speaker 1: the most one hundred yard games, so the second most
Speaker 1: one hundred yard games he only had. He only played
Speaker 1: twelve games last year because that suspension. What would we
Speaker 1: see if Leve Bell was leave Bell for sixteen weeks?
Speaker 1: I think you could see him take a crack at
Speaker 1: the yards from scrimmage record, which no one's really gotten
Speaker 1: near in a while. I think it's over yards is
Speaker 1: the record and I could see him point half. But
Speaker 1: in for this question, I definitely take the four the
Speaker 1: four Patriots, because all you need is another love Bell
Speaker 1: suspension injury and Patriots are set up. Well, they're only
Speaker 1: gonna you know, there was a good article, you know,
Speaker 1: showing they probably only used Dean Lewis now fifteen snaps
Speaker 1: a game going to save them for the playoffs in theory. Yeah,
Speaker 1: real quick, Gabrielle Martin's at you at gmre Ro Martin's
Speaker 1: what is the non English speaking country where you guys
Speaker 1: have the biggest audience. I'd put a sandwich on Brazil. Uh.
Speaker 1: The correct answer is Sweden Sweden? Really yes, then so
Speaker 1: pay up and sandwich Sweden beats Mexico. Sweden. Court. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I figures on our agent that we use uh, Sweden,
Speaker 1: followed by Denmark. Uh, followed by shout out, guys, there
Speaker 1: you go, douche Land. I believe it's pronounced some people do. Uh,
Speaker 1: Come on, step up, Mexico, We're right next door. Let's
Speaker 1: X fifty Canada. They're English speaking for the most part.
Speaker 1: That was a terrible, terrible population speaking individuals in Canada.
Speaker 1: Nice recovery, Nice recovery. Uh, this from X fifteen. How
Speaker 1: much of the podcast is stick seventies depends what you ask. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that answer depends depends on which one of you at us. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for West, but I feel
Speaker 1: like West, and I would say mostly it's not that
Speaker 1: much of a stick. I mean, it's a little bit
Speaker 1: of a stick, but it's basically basically just we are
Speaker 1: who I mean, how many minutes did we spend listening
Speaker 1: to robot voices say different things before the podcast? Oh,
Speaker 1: this is a thing now, Gregg. By the way, you'll
Speaker 1: you'll want to know this powers activated. Powers activate. Once
Speaker 1: a month, each of us can veto a news item,
Speaker 1: uh and shut it down and we can go away
Speaker 1: and we won't have to talk about it. I I uh,
Speaker 1: I'm just sad we didn't come up with this early
Speaker 1: college box with a with a big, big move there
Speaker 1: before the show and she actually activated her um veto
Speaker 1: for May. Running out of time here, Shaun Kaiser, listen
Speaker 1: to the show. Okay, here, you gotta listen to the show.
Speaker 1: Somebody to do it all right, here we go. This
Speaker 1: is a good one. Mark, you gotta go. So maybe
Speaker 1: we'll go out on this one. Sure, I got three minutes.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find this. Here we go? Who this
Speaker 1: from Brandon Smith at Brandon Smith fifty two? Who are
Speaker 1: the other three people dead or alive? You would want
Speaker 1: to complete your foursome for a game, whether it be
Speaker 1: golf or corn hole or whatever. You have to construct
Speaker 1: a forsome, uh, for a nice afternoon into evening, something
Speaker 1: like that. Mark, get us going. I thought about this
Speaker 1: you you sent me the question, and I would want
Speaker 1: something to come out of this other than like a
Speaker 1: photo or you know, some a I beat so and
Speaker 1: so and golf. I don't even play golf. I would
Speaker 1: get jfk Lee, Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. I would
Speaker 1: find out exactly what happened, because now there's nothing to lose,
Speaker 1: and I would devast write a devastating investigative report from
Speaker 1: as you say, triple sources, the best triple sources you
Speaker 1: can get, and I would in history histories that is
Speaker 1: quite a triple source. Yes it would be. But I
Speaker 1: like your agenda too. On I mean, I need to
Speaker 1: play for younger listeners who may not know. Uh. Lee
Speaker 1: Harvey Oswald assassinated John F. Kennedy, then Jack one of
Speaker 1: our presidents. Then Jack Ruby. I don't think our entire listeners,
Speaker 1: especially overseas. Jack Ruby then killed Lee Harvey Oswald while
Speaker 1: he was in police custody. But wouldn't be and Mark
Speaker 1: you admire JFK as do? I wouldn't it be kind
Speaker 1: of messed up to make JFK spend an entire day
Speaker 1: with his murderer. Potentially? No, I think I think that
Speaker 1: he would care about the truth coming forward and that
Speaker 1: this would do then because if you think about it,
Speaker 1: why you shoot the whole thing down? He might not
Speaker 1: be like that reliable a narrator for his own death.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he what more he's going to
Speaker 1: bring to the table. I think he would be wrong.
Speaker 1: He would know. He would know a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: that was happening behind the scenes as president, you know,
Speaker 1: a lot more uh well, funny enough. I also have
Speaker 1: John Kennedy involved. My threesome would be nineteen sixty two,
Speaker 1: Jack Kennedy, nineteen eighty two, Jack Nicholson, Jack Nicholas. Who's
Speaker 1: the golfer? Nicholson? I'm for the actor. Yeah, Nicholson would
Speaker 1: be a lot better that Nicholas would be a strange Jack.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's get the Golden Bear and A two
Speaker 1: thousand forty two Jack handsas get my son is A
Speaker 1: and all the Jacks and we just spend a nice
Speaker 1: day together. We'll play We're gonna do eighteen holes. Funny
Speaker 1: that we Mark and I both had JFK. I feel
Speaker 1: like I feel like John would John Kennedy would be
Speaker 1: more comfortable potentially with this scenario, probably looking up for
Speaker 1: Mark said he wanted more than just a picture. But
Speaker 1: imagine if he did get that picture. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: just him golfing or whatever doing whatever with JFK and
Speaker 1: Oswald and Mark, that would be tough. When I explained also,
Speaker 1: like you're only going to take your one son, Well,
Speaker 1: it's a jack thing. Harrison will understand. I'm like, Harry,
Speaker 1: you'd be like it made sense in the past, problematic,
Speaker 1: like I could get I get Harry hands is Harry
Speaker 1: Truman and Harry hamilin together a time that would work?
Speaker 1: Harry Hudini, get him in the mix. Maybe anyway, what
Speaker 1: about you? Okay, I would go with Chrissy Teagan because
Speaker 1: I would like to looks gonna fun Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: like hopefully there's a friendship there. So then that includes
Speaker 1: John Legend. So that's two friends and one um Obama,
Speaker 1: because I feel like he's a pretty athletic and would
Speaker 1: be uh an interest. I mean, he's good at golf,
Speaker 1: and it would seems yeah, And I think and I
Speaker 1: know that uh Chrissie has been to the White House,
Speaker 1: so I feel like there's already a relationship there, so
Speaker 1: they would get along, I know, uh. And then I
Speaker 1: would have Hunter Thompson because he would be an amazing time.
Speaker 1: I think it's good. I like that. I do. I
Speaker 1: would love to get Obama a couple like Whiskey is
Speaker 1: Deep and just just get stories. It's going nuts about
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I'd love to hear the Obama like talking
Speaker 1: about Trump in detail in a drunk state. That'd be
Speaker 1: kind of fun. That's a pretty perfect now. I was
Speaker 1: I was thinking about Dave Chappelle at some point. But
Speaker 1: Hunter Thompson one good looking group. Obama on Hunter s
Speaker 1: Thompson or well, you know, or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's there's some pictures of Hunter Thompson when he was
Speaker 1: like young and his prime writing with his like he's
Speaker 1: got a cigarette behind his ear and a typewriter and
Speaker 1: he's on the cliff. I don't think Obama is a
Speaker 1: bad looking guy. I didn't guy, I'm not gonna go nuts.
Speaker 1: I know that's good. Let's start. I don't have an answer.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, that's fine, you don't need an answer.
Speaker 1: It's all good everything. Uh what oh this one. I'll
Speaker 1: throw this one to you. Greg from at Johnny bore Um.
Speaker 1: What are the best games to rewatch from last season?
Speaker 1: On game pass about one game? Give him one game
Speaker 1: to watch. I think the best game of the season
Speaker 1: was Steelers Ravens on Christmas. People saw that, but I
Speaker 1: think people forget how many twists and turns and just
Speaker 1: the rivalry and the great players involved, and you saw
Speaker 1: great defense and that you saw a little bit of everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they just aired that on NFL Network. In fact, I
Speaker 1: also think Packers cow Boys the Divisional round game, because
Speaker 1: you know, neither team ended up moving on, we'll be forgotten.
Speaker 1: That was a great NFL football game and a meeting
Speaker 1: of Dak Prescott at this certain point in his career
Speaker 1: just starting out and Aaron Rodgers at the height of
Speaker 1: his powers, and like it was really back and forth.
Speaker 1: People thought the Cowboys are totally out of it too,
Speaker 1: Like teams that are the teams in the NFL. To me,
Speaker 1: that was that was a classic. I was, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say that one. And just like the NBA is
Speaker 1: getting killed rightfully, so for two months of bad playoff action.
Speaker 1: The playoffs last year were not good in the NFL,
Speaker 1: but that game definitely helped UH. That and the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl obviously both helped UH to save the playoffs last season.
Speaker 1: Chargers Falcons was a really fun one to last. It
Speaker 1: was a really good game. It was an afternoon game.
Speaker 1: I think it went into overtime. Was that the pick
Speaker 1: six on the two point conversion attempts? Was that that game?
Speaker 1: That was? That was Falcons Chiefs, which are like it
Speaker 1: was like the next week they played two great ones,
Speaker 1: but Charges Falcons had an unbelievable comeback. Salt quarterback explained, well,
Speaker 1: that's a great choice, uh moving and of course the
Speaker 1: Bryce Petty game with the Dolphins where the Jets offensive
Speaker 1: lineman didn't block Petty literally sandwiched. Make sure you check
Speaker 1: out that classic. Uh, Damien pit Pit them at Damian
Speaker 1: pit him. Just how good is Derek Carr and the Raiders?
Speaker 1: I mean they are the best? Right? Oh? Goodsolutely Sasamo
Speaker 1: Tier footage of them today and I just thought, what
Speaker 1: great uniforms. You know, what a what a great team
Speaker 1: to just get going. They had Marshawn Lynches out there
Speaker 1: like punting balls and things. John went to Oakland and
Speaker 1: brought me back a Raider's shirt. John Um who you guys?
Speaker 1: Gonzalaz board marks twelve is an American sports writer. Was
Speaker 1: married NFL media broadcaster Colleen Wolfe. John, who was a pieces,
Speaker 1: resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two dogs.
Speaker 1: This one from Yev's or coro. Did you already speak
Speaker 1: about how much this bit is starting to annoy Ganza.
Speaker 1: It's the best thing that I want to just thank
Speaker 1: all of the listeners for this starting to president I
Speaker 1: could ever have. It's the greatest gift in the world
Speaker 1: to keep it going. Like if you were thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: should should I tweet that or not? Yeah? I learned
Speaker 1: something about at the at the little barbecue at the
Speaker 1: Center yesterday is that he has the disease. What he
Speaker 1: has the disease of being overly competitive with stupid things.
Speaker 1: I have the same thing. Uh and and John, he
Speaker 1: was getting a little and listen, I don't want to
Speaker 1: I don't want to uh with him? Not here. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get into Actually I have a response
Speaker 1: from him because he knew that this would come up.
Speaker 1: It almost didn't because this is deep into the show.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well response to what to the game and
Speaker 1: to him being overly competitive. All right, so I'll set
Speaker 1: it up. Just it was, you know, later later in
Speaker 1: the barbecue. That's it was just throwing some corn in.
Speaker 1: West is team with Anzo, and uh I was teamed
Speaker 1: with Ali, who is redressing outrageously. I love Ali, and
Speaker 1: I think he's a listener of the show. But uh so,
Speaker 1: you know, but West was stacking up points, piling up points,
Speaker 1: and then Gonzo had a one or two good rounds
Speaker 1: and he starts puffing out his chest about how great
Speaker 1: he was. And I had to call him and I said,
Speaker 1: I never heard a teammate of West, you know, get
Speaker 1: so buck wild in this situation and that and then
Speaker 1: that really fired him up. Uh So after two games
Speaker 1: where I think John Gonzo maybe outscored me. Uh in
Speaker 1: the two games where I was kind of i'll be
Speaker 1: honest with you, not two plugged into the game. There's
Speaker 1: a lot going on in my own home. They're like
Speaker 1: fourteen kids. My son was by my side the all time.
Speaker 1: So I said, John, you don't want to do this.
Speaker 1: You don't want me to take this seriously. Uh. Your
Speaker 1: your wife is gonzo, Your wife is here. You don't
Speaker 1: want this to turn badly for you. But if you
Speaker 1: really and uh and sure enough, once I took it seriously. Um,
Speaker 1: I outscored him nine two in our final game. Well
Speaker 1: this is including a nine oh run to end it.
Speaker 1: But the response that he he would like me to share. Yes.
Speaker 1: John Gonzalez, an official spokesman for John Gonzalez, has prepared
Speaker 1: the following statement on John Gonzalez. After winning the first
Speaker 1: two games of Corn in decisive fashion. Mr Gonzalez lost
Speaker 1: track of the score. Well, he cannot confirm or deny
Speaker 1: the outcome of game three. His left bicep was pleased
Speaker 1: to win the two man photo shoot with Mr hanss
Speaker 1: flip flops. Mr Gonzalez looks forward to more hangouts with
Speaker 1: the heroes in future showings of Bilateral Corn cooperation and statement. Alright, well,
Speaker 1: first of all, don't get after men wearing flip flops
Speaker 1: in his own home. All right, John wars flip flops
Speaker 1: all the time. Uh no, John, But I will say
Speaker 1: I'll take I whipped up on him in the third
Speaker 1: game when I said I was going to be serious
Speaker 1: with him, but at the big takeaway from me was
Speaker 1: that he has the disease and we certainly need more
Speaker 1: cornhole players in southern California, especially with Ali's can tenued regression. Uh,
Speaker 1: you're looking at one behind the glass. I know, but
Speaker 1: I've invited you several times, but I've been out of
Speaker 1: talent both times. Like sorry, I gotta go to Alabama's
Speaker 1: fourth spring game. It was the best talking he's ever heard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was West was fired up. On the other side,
Speaker 1: I was fun entertainment. I was happy to see Gonzo
Speaker 1: half of the disease. He has it. Everything is a competition. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see, is there anything else? Well, this is what
Speaker 1: I'll do one more here, ty declare. This would have
Speaker 1: been better with Mark, but Colleens a supporter of the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Um oh for fifty one with the Super Bowl, I'm
Speaker 1: a Jet supporter. Uh one for fifty one, but oh
Speaker 1: for their last forty eight and uh Mark, of course,
Speaker 1: well they were out of the league two years. I think,
Speaker 1: Oh for forty nine for the Browns in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Would you give up an organ to bring your team
Speaker 1: a super Bowl colle um. Yeah, Like, but an organ
Speaker 1: that I don't really need, Like, isn't there like a
Speaker 1: it is a gall bladder? Does a gall bladder count?
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can? Sometimes you can live without a kidney, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then you're flirting with danger if the other fails.
Speaker 1: I think I need my kidneys. No, I need my liver,
Speaker 1: especially if you're gonna make this beer devaca transition. Right,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a healthy new me. I'm giving up
Speaker 1: beer and drinking only hard alcohol. Uh, it would have
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, I would have to talk to several
Speaker 1: doctors to find out what is the least uh important
Speaker 1: organ within your body. And then I think, like I
Speaker 1: kind of need all my organs there. These are real
Speaker 1: Like I was in my daughter l s who's out there.
Speaker 1: We had to had to take her to the emergency
Speaker 1: room last Friday. She had an allergic reaction to peanuts
Speaker 1: and that was terrible but I but she was fine
Speaker 1: and she was resting comfortably. And once we got to
Speaker 1: that point, I realized, I'm there. There's no WiFi in there,
Speaker 1: I've got nothing to read. My phone is dead. And
Speaker 1: I was thinking like, what would I give up at
Speaker 1: this moment just to have a book or to have, like,
Speaker 1: you know, my phone. And I was thinking, like just
Speaker 1: a little tip of your finger. I would give up
Speaker 1: a tip of my finger just for that two hours.
Speaker 1: But you would be so much pain right in there already.
Speaker 1: I guess, all right, how about this? What about Colleen?
Speaker 1: Your pinky toe? No, Like, why do I have to
Speaker 1: give up my pinky toe when there's so many other fans?
Speaker 1: I don't want to give up my pinky toe. I
Speaker 1: feel the same way. Yeah, I could deal with it.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna selfish for the Jets. You can get
Speaker 1: an infection brought me nothing but pain and misery. Like,
Speaker 1: now I'm going to actually sacrifice and suffer more suffer
Speaker 1: now physically, you've already sacrificed plenty of money, time and
Speaker 1: energy and love and all that. Now I got to
Speaker 1: give up an organ. How hard is it to get
Speaker 1: your appendix taken out? Though? People? Oh, that's what it
Speaker 1: is right now, all bladder? I think you need that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: get your scalpels away from me. Yet they just draft
Speaker 1: a quarterback draft quarterback. It's been forty years since you
Speaker 1: don't name it is retired. This is definitely the show
Speaker 1: to break. It's fine. She's got her headphones on back there, Hi,
Speaker 1: all right, she's so cute. Got me angry. We'll be
Speaker 1: back um on Thursday with our second show of the
Speaker 1: week and uh hopefully hopefully Chris Westling will be with us,
Speaker 1: and if so, we will Um. We'll have a great
Speaker 1: time talking about football in life. So thank you to
