Are they on the 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.360 verge of pulling off a big deal where they get 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.040 mookie bets? But they also have to bring in the 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.640 contract of David Price, who I think is still owed 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:43.440 around ninety five million dollars. I love me some mookie bets. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.840 I don't know if I love him that much? And 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.800 how will he be in that ballpark? The Padres are 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.520 also involved in the mix here, so we'll check in 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.080 with a great columnists for the La Times, Bill Plashkey 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.440 on the importance of this deal for the Dodgers who 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.280 missed out on Bryce Harper and Garrett Cole and don't 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.080 want to miss out on Mookie Betts. Got a great 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:06.400 poll question, surprise surprise. If I said the one story 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.359 this year in the NFL season that you'll remember the most, 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.000 will it be the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl, Miles Garrett, Mason, 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:18.200 Rudolph Fight, Lamar Jackson's emergence, Antonio Brown's career suicide, or 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.760 Andrew luck retirement. Andrew Lux was the biggest surprise of 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.600 the year because that came out of nowhere. And even 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.480 when the story came out, we thought that maybe Adam 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.799 Schefter's Twitter page had been hacked. But Andrew Luck retiring 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.160 after it felt like he finally had an offensive line, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.000 he had some weapons, and he had turned the corner 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:41.800 and he was going to be a Hall of Fame quarterback. 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.600 Antonio Brown career meltdown that continues. By the way, Andrew 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.160 Luck still hasn't done any interviews. I don't think I 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.520 haven't heard anything from Andrew Luck. And the Colts are 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.280 now from what I'm told, looking at a quarterback in 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.640 the draft. Now, I told you that I was told 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.920 by an NFL source that Philip Rivers look for him 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.320 to maybe end up with the Indianapolis Colts. That doesn't 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.720 mean they still wouldn't draft a quarterback. But if you're 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.919 moving on from Jacoby Brissette, if you bring in Philip Rivers, 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.880 if that's if that is the scenario, here, are you 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.640 going to bring in a quarterback? And who are you 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.800 bringing in? Where do the Colts draft? McLevin, do you 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.320 know where their selection is? D aut check right now? 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.520 All right? Yeah, Pa, Jacoby Brissette. They gave him kind 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.959 of that two year holding deal for thirty million that 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.880 they can easily get out of. In fifteen games this year, 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.560 he was a sixty one percent pass or three thousand yards, 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.800 eighteen touchdowns, six picks. That's not that's low end for 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.120 a starter. It is, But I don't know if they 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.280 turn him loose, or they turned him loose at any 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.800 point this year I thought he was. Those are just 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.000 called band aid quarterbacks, band aid contracts, that's all that is. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.960 Because it feels like, are they going to go in 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.320 are they going to go up to get a quarterback? 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.080 That's what I'm curious about. And would they take Philip 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.520 Rivers if you can get him for a one plus 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.320 one deal? Yeah? Mcleven. They hit a number thirteen, which, 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.320 by the way, I think Chet had Herbert there and 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.960 they're last mock trafficking out yesterday. Yeah, I mean that, 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.000 I don't think Herbert falls that far. That's pretty well, well, 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.320 it depends on what happens with Cam Newton, Teddy Bridge Water, 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.120 what's going to happen with Philip Rivers. Where's Tom Brady 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.000 going to go? There are quite a few quarterbacks out there, 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.920 Jameis Winston, you know, does Tampa go in and get 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.640 a quarterback as well? It feels like you can make 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.479 a case for quite a few teams that they would 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.800 go in and get a quarterback. Speaking of the quarterbacking situation, 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.839 Patrick Mahomes, who's been on his victory tour going to 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.720 Disney World, he was asked about his contract extension. This 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.039 is what he had to say to me. That's that's 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.080 stuff that's handled with other people. Obviously, I want to 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.320 be in Kansas City for a long time. I understand that. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.360 I also want to win a lot of football games here, 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.680 and so for me, it's it's kind of letting that 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.400 stuff handle itself. I'm in a great organization. I have 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.240 a great team of guys working for me. Guys and girls, 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.520 And so for me, it's about trusting those people find 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.279 the best way to do it in order to have 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.159 the best team, the best team around me, and getting 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.480 that done whenever the time is right. Whatever a team 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.360 wins the Super Bowl, the salary cap financial issues aren't 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.040 far behind, because a team can extend a third year 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.920 quarterback Patrick Mahomes this offseason if they want to, or 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.960 they can wait. They can wait, and then he'd hit 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:23.279 the free agent market. But the Chiefs face an interesting dilemma. 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.320 Do you show your commitment to your best player, the 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.640 best player in the NFL? Do you do that? Now? 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.760 Do you take advantage of that rookie deal as long 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.080 as you can because you know he was the first 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.080 round draft pick. This is different than Dak Prescott because 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.839 Prescott may get that franchise tag. By the way, Dak 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.200 Prescott at the Super Bowl said I'm not showing up 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:49.880 to camp without a contract. And he even said, and 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:54.000 make sure you report that the Saints paid Drew Brees. 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.440 They had trouble affording everybody else when they won the 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.720 Super Bowl. The Patriots got lucky because Tom Brady took 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.000 a bit less over the year. So we'll see how 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.000 the Chiefs and Mahomes handle this, but it feels like 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.000 Mahomes is going to be the first forty million dollar 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.520 year quarterback and probably a five year deal worth over 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.599 two hundred million dollars if you do that. When you 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.480 do that, now you're gonna have this happened with Seattle. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.720 You know, Russell Wilson was a bargain and then all 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.840 of a sudden you had to pay Russ and then 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.680 you lost some defensive players. This is why that four 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.320 year window, five year window, when you get that rookie 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:35.600 quarterback salary, that contract is so important because you want 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.240 to add the pieces to when you get to year three, four, 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.200 maybe five, you're ready to win a championship because after 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.720 that you might want to start over if you don't 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.839 think you have that true quarterback there, because he's going 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:48.720 to cost you. The Texans are gonna have this with 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.680 to Shaun Watson. So Mahomes and Watson, but Dak Prescott, 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.200 what's he worth? Do you give the Cowboys a little 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.880 bit of a discount here because you want to stay 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:04.560 as the Cowboys quarterback? Do they need you? Do you 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.880 need them? They did this with Ezekiel Elliott, and you 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.040 eventually got that deal done. But if you're the Cowboys 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:15.160 and you say we're gonna tag you, then what's Dak 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.040 Prescott think about all of this? Then he's going to 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.560 be playing for a contract again, because that's whomever he 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.840 gambled on himself. And I even ask him that at 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.640 the Super Bowl. I said he gambled, and he said yeah, 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.840 But I think in his mind he gambled and he 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.640 was going to win, and he's going to win. He's 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:34.240 going to get paid by somebody somewhere. But the Cowboys 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:38.720 can't move on from Dak Prescott. Why can't you get 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.280 a deal done? Like? What what is the biggest hold 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.240 up here with Dak Prescott? If he's your quarterback of 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.920 the future and you truly believe in him, But you 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.400 got guys who make a lot of money on that team. 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:53.800 I mean they got didn't They just paid Jalen Smith 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.920 and you got the offensive line there, Amari Cooper wants 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:03.320 to get paid. You got Ezekiel Elliot there, Zack Martin, 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.560 Tyron Smith. I mean, you've got You've got some guys 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.840 who were bringing in some paychecks here. Yeah, mcle is 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.760 it unfair that every quarterback has to be a forty 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.080 million dollars. The new quarterback has to set the market. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.000 Like I know, Kirk Cousins was defending just the agents. Yeah, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.120 all this is is the agent saying to his clientele, 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.000 look at what I got you because I want I 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.880 want my agent to be smart with me. Do I 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.560 need to be the highest paid quarterback? Or do I 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.000 need to be in the right situation here? And the 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.240 right situation for dak is Dallas. You got a great 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.319 offensive line, you got an owner who is desperate to win. 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.920 He's getting a lot of sponsorships because he's the quarterback 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.120 of the Cowboys. If he's the quarterback for the Jags, 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:52.240 no one cares. He's the quarterback for the Cowboys. Therefore 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.200 people care. Yeah, I M the club. Do you take 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.520 Less if you're mahomes to keep talent in Kansas City? 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.840 And do you keep Lass if you take Lassiter Prescott. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.960 I think it's tricky because as Brady took Less. I 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:06.360 don't know if Brady had any saying who they were drafting, right, 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.160 But you know, you have a better chance to have 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:09.640 a good team around you if you don't go to 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.120 forty five million a year. Yes, I don't know This 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.640 is just agent driven. This is like Scott Boris when 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.920 somebody says, oh, where's he gonna go? I go where 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.840 he gets the most money. Right, tell me a time 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.080 when Scott Borris had a client on the open market 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.839 and he went for less money. Now you can say 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:30.800 Steven Strassburg. You know he stayed in Washington. Now, could 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.600 he have gotten more money elsewhere? Yeah, Garrett Cole, did 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.520 he go where he made the most money? Manny Machado, 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.280 Bryce Harper, it's look at what I do for my clients. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.360 Because if I'm a client and I go, I'll sign 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.040 up with Scott Borris. But you don't get top dollars there. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.240 I'd rather have somebody who said it, I'm gonna look 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:50.800 out for you and put you in the right place. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.839 Manny Machado and San Diego, that's fine. Nobody cares about 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.559 Manny Machado and in San Diego they don't. When's the 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.480 last time you went got to tune in to watch 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.120 Manny Machado. Now that doesn't mean you take a haircut 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.920 and you go, hey, I'm gonna play for half of 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.080 that because I can play in a bigger market. I 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.640 said it last hour. Robinson Cano went to Seattle and 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.600 you got all that money and I went no one cares, 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.480 and they didn't. There's only a couple of places where 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.320 you're relevant. Now you can say, hey, I don't care 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.560 about it. I'm gonna make my money. Okay, that's fine, 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:31.440 make your money. But it's obscurity, you know, Kevin Love, 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.840 you know resigning with the Cavaliers. I was watching last night. Yes, 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.600 I was the one watching the Knickson Cavaliers last night. 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.800 Kevin Love does not want to be there. I don't 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.679 care how much money you're paying him. You don't want 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:48.080 to be there. There was a play where it was 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.240 a semi fast break and Kevin Love is running down 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.839 the floor and he's running down the lane and Colin 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.440 Sexton has the ball, which means nobody else is getting it. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.480 And Kevin Love is sprinting down there and he's open 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.920 and he's open for a lamp and Colin Sexton pulls 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.400 up for three. He makes it, but you can see 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.720 Kevin Love going when he doesn't get the ball, He's like, 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.880 oh God, and then he makes the shots. So he 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.560 couldn't be you know that, in that much pain. So 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:16.480 he hustled back and I'm thinking Kevin loved you know, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.640 he was in the center of the basketball universe there 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.800 for a while, and then you disappear and we move on. 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.240 But a long winded way of saying, you're gonna have 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:30.040 Patrick Mahomes be worth forty million, Dak Prescott is not 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.880 worth that kind of money in my opinion. What's Dak? 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.920 I mean, he's a bargain now because you know he 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.800 wasn't a first round draft pick. Here, what's he made? 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.720 He's making like seven hundred thousand dollars a year because 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.480 of a rookie. Patrick mahomes base salary next year is 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.400 seven hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. He gets a 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.839 two point five million dollars signing bonus because he pro 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.760 rated his rookie signing bonus over four years, and he 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.640 gets a roster bonus at one point two So his 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.320 total compensation next year for Patrick Mahomes is five million dollars. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.680 That's pretty good. Well, if you were his agent, would 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.960 you sign him a year early and say, hey, we'll 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:04.920 take the current state of the union of what you 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.280 get paid, or wait till next year went's unrestricted. Well, 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:12.000 who is going to get top dollars so what's Dak 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.240 going to get? And then what's Deshaun Watson up? No, 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.880 he's sat up before, but he's negotiating now, okay, and 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.520 they gave rumors that he'll probably do a deal. Okay, 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.120 I'd be curious what they get. And then does that 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.640 influence what Kansas City's going to pay me or what 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.600 I can ask for, Because if Dak Prescott gets thirty 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.200 six million dollars a year, let's say Deshaun Watson then 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.360 comes in and goes, I want more than that, and 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:41.319 then they give him thirty eight million. Then Mahomes's agent goes, why, 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:45.360 I'm a whole lot better than those guys. Here, hold 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.520 my beer, I'm gonna tell you how much I want 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:53.200 forty five million dollars a year. I don't know, you know, 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:55.800 if it gets into that where you're competitive and you 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.199 say I want to be paid, I want to be 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.600 paid more. How many guys have been the highest baid 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.319 quarterback in the league? Every one of them? Joe Flacco 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:10.080 is almost there. Yes, yeah, is Russell Wilson the highest 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.560 paid quarterback? Now? He was? I think the day he 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.559 signed he was just like all these guys. Yeah, yeah, 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.480 mclo The one interesting thing is Dak can actually hold 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.400 out where the other guy like because he could be 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.200 tagged and he could be a quarterback hole that which 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.600 is rare? Is that? I mean because he remember he 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.439 was a fourth round pick, so he's up a year 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.120 earlier than those first round guys. Yeah. I don't know, 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.679 it feels like that's a bad situation. Well, look at 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.120 what the Redskins did twice, the Kirk Dee Cousins. Yeah, 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.720 they tagged him twice, but Cousins wasn't thought of as 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:45.960 highly as Dak. I don't know if it's fair enough. 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.720 I mean, that just seems like a bigger star than 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.400 because he's in Downing. Yeah, and that might be why. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.360 That's why, but everybody you know Kirk, if Dak Prescott 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.960 was in Tampa, but we wouldn't talk about him. Not 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.920 this way. It's every everybody talks about that. Every talk 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.319 show talks about the Cowboys because they're the most popular 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:10.160 team in the NFL. That's why Lebron has always spoken 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.200 about he is the most popular and polarizing player in 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.800 the NBA. I mean, this is really simple to figure 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.880 out why topics are brought up and not brought up 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.680 there are other stories that are more relevant. The Cowboys 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:27.320 they don't even make the playoffs and we're talking about 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.720 Dak But oh my god, Dak Press. Now Mahomes is real. 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.280 They won the Super Bowl. Brady could change a team's 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.200 fortunes by going to some other place. Like those are 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:42.520 real stories, yes, But doesn't a popular story mean that 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.520 that's what we should be talking about, Like it doesn't 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.440 popularity mean relevancy, Like if everyone wants to talk about Lebron, 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.520 then that's the most relevant story I know. But we 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.160 create storylines that aren't really there, and then those shows 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.400 don't even cover other stories that are valid, that are real. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:14:59.920 I mean, you look, you sell your soul in that 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.160 that's what you want to do, and you want to 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.160 play the hits, then that's fine. I mean that's what 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.440 your show is. Um, I just can't troll this all. 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.800 I just refuse to troll this audience and do that. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.080 But if it's relevant, then we cover it. It's not like, 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.880 let me see, how do I talk about that Cowboys? 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.480 How do I talk about Lebron today? Well, we should 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.440 be talking about Lebron. It's the most interesting player in 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.920 the end of Okay, what is the story. Well, today 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.600 I don't have it. I don't talk about his number 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.880 as his daughter in the All Star Game, Okay, And 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.320 I'll bring up Lebron to Reggie Miller when he joins 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.360 this next hour. No, but I mean maybe that I 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.240 think we should be talking about the Cowboys more than 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.040 we talk about say the Seahawks or some babe. They're 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.640 just a stable franchise that keeps on winning this. I 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.960 think there's something interesting about these teams. It is interesting. 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:50.360 But it feels like if all else fails, talk about 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.600 those the Cowboys or the Lakers, and they're putting narrative 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.560 that they're just damn manufacturer I toys here. Yeah, that's all. 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.480 Like there are stories to cover. Let me talk about 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.560 the Cowboys lot because they are a high priced team 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.160 with a high profile owner and tons of good players. 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.960 If there's drama, we talk and we talk about it, 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.800 you know, and Jerry Jones desperate to win a Super Bowl. Absolutely, 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.720 But today, Dak Prescott, that's interesting. If you're gonna tag 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.360 him and he's not going to show up in camp, 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.840 what's this mean for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys this 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:26.000 upcoming season? And perhaps it'll be another non play off 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.280 appearance for the Cowboys. Yeah, do you expect the spring 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.640 of dak just tons of dact piece of what you 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:36.720 just absolutely absolutely you almost yes, I do yes, I 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.640 do yes, I do that. And where does two ago? 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.400 And does Joe Burrow want to go to the Bengals? 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.760 Those are gonna be big story lines coming up here, 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:48.920 even if none of it's true. Is going to be 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:50.920 a storyline. Yeah, point going back to the Homes. You 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:52.480 know he's got one more year on a deal and 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.960 then he's going to be the richest quarterback in football history, 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.760 richest player. Is there anything to be said for signing 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.360 a year early? So you get that in the next tract. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.160 Because he's only twenty four, he's got two contracts ahead 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.320 of him, you would think, and so his agent can 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.159 say to him, I get you paid now instead of 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:08.879 waiting a year because he's not rich yet. I know 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.600 he's got a lot of endorsements. And then I get 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.400 your next contract at age thirty instead of thirty one, 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.440 And that may be a big difference down the line, 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.280 being a year younger for your second contract. It's like 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:20.560 the NBA, do you want to get him in as 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.200 fast as you can oh, I would want to if 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.600 if I'm going to extend him. But if I extend him, 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.840 then I know that I'm in a year earlier than 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.439 I need to. Therefore, I'm going to give him forty 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.439 million dollars And the Chiefs may not want that. They 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.800 know they got him for seven hundred thousand. Next Year's like, okay, 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.000 we're gonna have to eat the Patrick Holmes deal, the 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.120 richest one in the history. Can we delay it one year? 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.080 I would want to delay it because I would say 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.600 to him, you're gonna get paid now. He might say, 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.560 what if I get injured, but you're gonna get paid. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.680 We want to make sure that we have a chance 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.800 to go back to back. I don't know how you 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.120 can argue that that. Hey, we need to afford these 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.920 players to give you that great team around you. Mark 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.080 in Arizona, Hey, Marco, what do you have for me today? Hey? 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.120 Good morning, DP and Dan Etts. Um. First of all, 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.119 this wonderful job over there in the Super Bowl coverage. UM, 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.520 I was just really moved listening to you speak with 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.440 mister West about Kobe. Uh. Nobody covered it like that. 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.240 And um, but as far as the Dak conversation and 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.600 I'm I'm speaking on behalf of all Jerry Jones hostages 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.000 out there. That guy is great off the field, He's 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.120 a great company guy. But he is not worth as 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.080 much as he thinks he is. And honestly, I would 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:39.880 even consider trading him, um because I mean when when 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.359 Dak misses, he doesn't miss by a little bit, he 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.800 misses by a lot. Yeah, but Marco, then I got 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.280 to start over. And then who am I starting over with? 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.280 If you tell me who the replacement is, what is 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:54.280 Plan B? Then I'll consider Plan B. But I don't 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.679 know if Plan B is going to be better than 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.760 Dak Prescott. No, I hear you, I hear you, But 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.200 I'm remember he was an accidental just like Tony Romo. 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.439 Nobody need Tony Romo was good except for um Sean Payton. 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.240 But I would roll the dice because he just hasn't 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.840 shown enough. He hasn't sees the opportunity. And I mean 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:15.960 like you can do all the little hip swivels you want, 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.800 but you're not making completion fun. And that's that's what 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.040 the league is about, all right, look at the third 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:24.159 down conversions? No, I know, I know, I think he 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.040 should be better. Thank you, Marco, because you have a 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:31.840 great running back and you have a great offensive line. Yes, 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.399 stats are pretty pretty gaudy. I mean, I don't know. 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.040 I'm not sure that he's inaccurate. I mean, okay, is 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.480 he one of the top ten quarterbacks in the NFL? 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.320 That's why he's right around? No? No, is he one 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.040 of the top ten quarterbacks in the NFL? Probably I'd 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.960 say he's tenth. Okay, Am I going to spend that 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:52.960 kind of money on the tenth best quarterback? Because of 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:54.600 the way the market works? You might have to, but 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:56.960 you're right, it doesn't make any sense. But in this year, 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.680 forty nine hundred yards, thirty, top tens, eleven, pick six, 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:03.000 he sa percent pass or complete passing complete. I mean 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.200 everybody does that now, So I don't know what it means. 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.040 A lot of guys had similar numbers, but it's good. 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:12.480 What were Kirk d cousins numbers this year? Probably maybe 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.520 a little better, and nobody's talking about him as being 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:19.280 a great quarterback? Yeah. Point. Only four guys in the 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.919 league had over thirty touchdowns this year, Lamar Jackson, Jameis Winston, 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:25.720 Russell Wilson, Dak Prescot. Yeah, everyone else is in that 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:30.119
