7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: listeners over the last week. Actually, d M me when

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: I was in a real conversation with about like, oh, so,

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: when are you going on this Mexico trip? Is like,

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: it is an utter lie. I am never going into Mexico.

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: What do you mean? It's the off season now, you

Speaker 1: your little wigglies wigglies in the same I mean, it's

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: all injection. It's just you're wishing it on me. And

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate the concept, but it will not be happening.

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: I'll be happy to volunteer to take Mark's place as

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: one going on excursions all off. I mean, this super

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: bowls over. So this is as we can tell from

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: this week. Obviously, we are now down shifting into a

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: really easy time in the NFL calendar. Meanwhile, was that

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: person on Twitter like casing your house in this conversation?

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: I don't know? And are you going? How long are

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: you going for? It? Wasn't Is everyone in your family

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: going with you? That's fair. It's time for our family

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: to be robbed. We've been here long enough and there's

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: been no If there's been no incidents of that, you

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: can take some of the material objects out of my house, please, Mark.

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: Mark balked immediately at your contention that this is an

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: easy time of year. I know. I was trying to

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: instigate Mark a reaction out of him. Did not succeed,

31
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: only an I roll h. Mark, You, speaking of possessions,

32
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: you lost your bag in Minnesota or somewhere in the world,

33
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: and a lot of your hot new clothes that you

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: would part all of them outside of this shirt, it's

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: the only shirt. I have. Just answer me one question.

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Did they did not take from you your fancy hot

37
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: jeans with all the holes in them? That's right now?

38
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: My only my two other pairs of jeans that I

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: wear and the other like tan pants that I got

40
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: are gone. Six shirts are gone, All underwear and socks

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: are gone. Outside of like the most backup version of

42
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: that garment. That's disturbing. Yeah, you're down to your fourth

43
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: string quarterback in most of your clothes. It's it is obnoxious.

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: I thought I'd beat the system because I took a

45
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: later flight and gained like eight gift cards. I thought,

46
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: I've totally I've beaten Delton entirely and in the end

47
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: need to use that to buy your clothes. But yeah,

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: it's it's it's utterly absurd. That's that's life. Isn't that life?

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: But the Jenes to me was the jeans purchase was

50
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: the breakout purchase of your uh, your clothes horse phase

51
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: that you're going through, and that fact that you still

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: have your fancy holes jeans. I'm very excited. This is

53
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: actually a three year old purchase that I rediscovered and

54
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: put back into the lineup. Now it is fully in

55
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: the lineup, and Lindsay we it's been a while since

56
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: you've been It's been too long. Last off season earlier,

57
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: I think, so I've missed you guys. It's it's not

58
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: the same without you. But now that the Sason's over,

59
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: Lindsay's back with us, and it's a great show to

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: be back. I don't remember I don't remember the last time.

61
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: Uh that the week after the Super Bowl produced so

62
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: much news. Oh my gosh, I mean poor Eagles. Well, hey,

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: we have a day and someone's like ground out exactly.

64
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: Rosenthal picks this week. Mr Greg Rosenthal of NFL Media

65
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: picks this week to take a vacation. And I got

66
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: a feeling he's actually in my luggage. I have a

67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: feeling he wishes he was here to talk. Because we

68
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: got a big parade, we got a big quarterback deal,

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: and yes, big big drama surrounding the Colts and the Patriots.

70
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: So let's get to It's so much to get to.

71
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: Mark's ready. Once he gets his bag back, you are

72
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: hitting the road. You're going down to Mexico. I'm gonna

73
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: get that peanut Colada that's in the coconut, that one.

74
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: I'll just go with it. At this point, I'd be

75
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: happy to do that. At this point, is just you

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: and a stick. The off season is here. Let's do

77
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: some news. The rivalry is back on, is it? Though?

78
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: I don't know our old friend Chris Ballard knows how

79
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: rivalries work. But uh, there's so much to get to here.

80
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: Because Josh McDaniels was supposed to be the Indianapolis Colts

81
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 1: head coach. We had heard it for weeks and weeks

82
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: and weeks that it was going to happen. Then right

83
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: around the Super Bowl, percolation I call it percolation started

84
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: hearing some things that maybe uh, Josh was getting a

85
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: cold feet. Well, it became official on Tuesday or was

86
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: it Wednesday? Wednesday? Wednesday that McDaniels withdrew from an agreement

87
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: to become the Tuesday Night Tuesday Night, Sorry, thank you, Mark, Uh,

88
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: and we'll remain the Patriots offensive coordinator instead with a

89
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: sweetened deal. Uh. This was a crazy development that stunned

90
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: the to Not only had announced that they had reached

91
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: and reached reached an agreement with McDaniels to be their

92
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: new head coach, they had also scheduled an introductory news

93
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: conference for Wednesday at Lucas Hill Stadium. Jet fans are

94
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: getting flashbacks to Bill Belichick walking out on them on

95
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: the day of the wedding. Uh. Chris Ballard, who's been

96
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: through a lot, had a press conference on Wednesday to

97
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: talk about things. Uh. We'll start with this Mark, and

98
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: then I'll throw it to you because you're a great

99
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: right up on NFL dot com. Uh, how the news

100
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: was delivered to Ballard that McDaniels wasn't coming. He said

101
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: he had bad news for me. I just said, I

102
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: just needed yes or no answer, you in or out. Um.

103
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: We went around for a minute and he said he's out,

104
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: and I said, Okay, we're gonna move forward. I wish

105
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: your best to luck Mark. How do you think Ballard

106
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: handled this? Let's start here reacting to it as a

107
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: crazy thing. Well, I mean, I can't imagine a tougher

108
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: press conference ropped out of the skies where you, you know,

109
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: the owner with you. You simply had to go out

110
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: there on your own and explain what looked like a

111
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: massive snaff foo and Ballard, who has taken heat on

112
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: this show for whatever reason, I thought, handled it as

113
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: well as Henry general manager I've watched do anything in

114
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: the past year. I mean, he went he went right

115
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: at it head on, answered any question. He took full

116
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 1: accountability for the fact that he basically told the team

117
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: you can announce the agreement. I feel that good about

118
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: what Josh McDaniels has told me. They had a relationship.

119
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: He took him at his word. Josh McDaniels backed out.

120
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's easy to look at the cults and say, well,

121
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: the cults screwed this up or something here. It's just

122
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: the opposite. I think Josh McDaniels obviously was compelled by

123
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: a very strong message out of New England. You stay

124
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: here and you will make sure that the good things

125
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: happen to you, and maybe sooner than later. But from

126
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: the cults angle, Ballard, I wonder if this could be

127
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: a blessing in disguise, because everyone just looks at Josh

128
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: McDaniels said, oh, the next Bill bell A check. Well,

129
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: we have no concept, after what we've seen from him

130
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: as Denver's head coach or what he pulled here, that

131
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: he'd be any better as a head coach than Frank Reich,

132
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: John d Filippo, Dave tab fill in the blank. We

133
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: just don't know. So maybe if anything with that rivalry

134
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: being back on, this was a good move for the cults,

135
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: are a blessing in disguise, I should well, here's a

136
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: Ballard said he was not interested in convincing McDaniels once

137
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: he got that phone call. There was no persuasion. Let

138
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: me make this clear, I want and we want as

139
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: an organization a head coach that wants to be all in.

140
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: We got work to do. I'm not I'm not once

141
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: hit that we have work to do, and I want

142
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: somebody that's a hundred percent committed to partnering with us

143
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: and getting that work done. And Lindsay, the Colts obviously

144
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: now scrambling a requested interviews with our boy, Dan Campbell,

145
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 1: former Dolphins interim coach back in the day, and Frank

146
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: Reich and Leslie Fraser and Leslie Fraser. So they are now,

147
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: rightfully and they have no other choice scrambling to get

148
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: things set up while every other team has things locked

149
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: in place. Yeah, they're definitely behind the eight ball. I mean,

150
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: we are five weeks away from free agency. I think

151
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: we've got the Combine coming up in a couple of weeks.

152
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: This is not a position that the team wants to

153
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: be put in. And I don't understand the reaction to

154
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: make fun of the Colts on a national level, Like

155
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: I get the Patriots fans protecting Josh McDaniels and I

156
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: understand that, but the snark that has been directed toward

157
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: the Colts, I don't understand. There's a rule that is

158
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: in place that you can't hire a coach until after

159
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: they're out of the playoffs. So it's all kind of

160
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: wink wink, not not, that's what happens. The Lions did

161
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: it with Patricia. They knew they had their guy, but

162
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: they couldn't make it official. That's what was in place

163
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: with Josh McDaniels. Everything we heard was that they had

164
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: a second interview, and everybody said, oh, but that interview

165
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: is in quotes, because what it really was was a

166
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: planning meeting to make sure all on the same page

167
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: about where to move forward. He reached out to assistant coaches.

168
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: One was already working in the building. There were people

169
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: under contract. Obviously the coach is telling them who to hire.

170
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: It's not like Chris Ballard had any indication as far

171
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: as those things were concerned, that he should be concerned

172
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: that this person who gave him his word that he

173
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: would come be their coach was going to back out

174
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: at the last second. So to suggest that he shouldn't

175
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: have scheduled a press conference to me is crazy. I

176
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: just I think I I understand look if you, if

177
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, if Josh McDaniels felt like he needed

178
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: to turn the job down at the last second. Then fine,

179
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: you do what's best for you. But in my opinion,

180
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: you need to come forward, put your hand in the air,

181
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: say my bad. I screwed over a lot of people.

182
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry that this happened. This is what I

183
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: felt like I needed to do. Like there has to

184
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: be ownership of that to a degree. I don't understand

185
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: the finger pointing in the direction of Indianapolis right now,

186
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: and I know that Josh isn't doing that, but I

187
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: think that's well said. And snark is easy, which is

188
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: why is the most popular form of look at me

189
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: with on Twitter. It's it's too easy to be snarky

190
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: if you look deeper, like you said, this is about

191
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots, not about the Colts. Josh McDaniel, I don't

192
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: think he got quote feed. He just got convinced. And

193
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: this is this is part of the risk for and

194
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: it's a reminder all teams going forward of putting all

195
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: your eggs in the basket of a team, these teams

196
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: that are involved with the Super Bowl, because if something

197
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: terrible happens, this is the worst case scenario. And it's

198
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: so funny. Right before this news broke, I was watching

199
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: I was going through the d v R. You know,

200
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: you fall behind on your television when you go cover

201
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: the SUP So I gotta get in on the Crown

202
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: H thirty for thirty two bills, something I had been

203
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: looking forward to for a long time, and it it

204
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: almost predicted this because in the eighties, I believe it

205
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: was either mid to late eighties, maybe even early nineties,

206
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, then under Bill Parcels, was going to take

207
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: a job with the Vikings, I believe it was, and

208
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: parcel said, Hey, if you if you feel like you

209
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: need to do it, do it. But let me tell

210
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: you something. If you to stay, what I can do is,

211
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, start involving you in the behind the scenes

212
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: wheelings and dealings and the responsibilities that come with being

213
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: a head coach. Start to show you what this job

214
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: is really about and maybe eventually you take over for me.

215
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: And that was enough to convince Belichick, uh that he

216
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: should stay because Parcels was such a master. I am

217
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: almost certain that the same thing happened with Belichick and McDaniels,

218
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: where Belichick said, hey, I get it, if you want

219
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: to take that job, it's a great job, but if

220
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: you stay here, you could be my successor, and I'll

221
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: teach you how it works to be a head coach

222
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: at this level. Mike Reece of ESPN reported exactly that

223
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: that Belichick sat him down and said, I will teach

224
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: you the ways of the salary cap, I will teach

225
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: you roster construction, and I will invest in your future

226
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: and and your I think your instincts on that parcels

227
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: to Belichick transition really played out here well. And it

228
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: also obviously involves craft. It's from ownership on down. And

229
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: I'm so probze that hasn't already been happening because McDaniels

230
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: has been under his wing forever. But if if that's

231
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: the case, the message must have been so strong that

232
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: you will take over from me when that happens. And

233
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: I know this probably will not be the case. There's

234
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: a little part of me that still feels like this

235
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: early offseason could contain one more massive bombshell. If Belichick

236
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: is still wondering in the back of his mind if

237
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: he wants to go through this from one more year,

238
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: I think he. I think it's like a chance that

239
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: he will. But now they have that person in place

240
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: to take over when it happens. Here's what I don't understand.

241
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: All of those things that we just discussed could have

242
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: been discussed a month ago. Like it's not like I

243
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: understand that you're focused on a playoff run, but there

244
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: isn't a minute in the late hours at the office

245
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: where you're just putting your feet up and like grabbing

246
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee to get you through the midnight

247
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: hours where you could say, Hey, can I have five

248
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: minutes year's time? Could we kind of get on the

249
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: same page here, I'm about to make a massive commitment,

250
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: let's discuss That's the part that I don't understand. I'm

251
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: kind of mad on behalf of the Yeah. I mean

252
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: it's not it's how the Patriots operate, and they the

253
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: way it was presented to the public, it seems that

254
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: everything was on the back burner. It was all about

255
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the super Bowl, which makes sense. On

256
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: one one, it's believable. But on the other hand, there

257
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: is this huge life decision and there are other people involved,

258
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: all those guys that are under contract with the Colts

259
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: now who don't know who their bosses. Uh, there's been

260
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: indications I guess that those guys, including a defensive coordinator

261
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: will remain with the team regardless of who the cults higher.

262
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: But it's just such a big mess, and it's during

263
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: such a tough time for the Colts. Edwin Jackson, their

264
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: linebacker was tragically killed and a d u i um

265
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: accident um super Bowl weekend. Andrew Luck status is still

266
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: so up in the air with his shoulder, although Ballard

267
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: did say mark that there won't be um more surgery,

268
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: but we're we've heard well, he said that, not hearing

269
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: the doctors say that that Andrew Luck needs surgery. That

270
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: still feels like whoever inherits that job is in for

271
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: like season months of having to answer Andrew Luck questions

272
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: and on the on the Jackson front, he basically opened

273
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: the press conference sing, I know about about Ballard opened

274
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: the press conference, and I know what we're gonna talk.

275
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: How is a tough situation for the cults, but this

276
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: whole weekend was a lot tougher than having a coach

277
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: walk away from us. He said, we'll figure that part out.

278
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: The first parts of very tough. And what stood out

279
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: to me too, every time he talked about Edwin Jackson,

280
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: he mentioned Jeffrey Monroe, who was the Uber driver who

281
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: was also killed by that drunk driver. And I thought

282
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: just the human aspect of that really touched me, because

283
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: obviously Edwin Jackson's name has been used to politicize the situation.

284
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: It's being used because he's the famous person. But Jeffrey

285
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: Monroe's life is no less valuable, and I I I

286
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: had a great deal of respect for Chris Ballart for

287
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: the way that he included him. I think that tells

288
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: you something about Chris Ballard from from the Patriots angle.

289
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Just real quick though, they go from losing both coordinators,

290
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: O line, coach special teams, coach one of their quarterbacks,

291
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: coach Shoos possibly Gronk to retirement. All of that was

292
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: in play as of Tuesday afternoon, and now all of

293
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: it could be returning to New England just to reload

294
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: for another Super Bowl run. Right, But you've got Brian

295
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: Flores as a guy who's likely to be elevated, and

296
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: it is highly respected, already getting head coaching interviews. To me,

297
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: it looked like on Tuesday we could be saying goodbye

298
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: to the Patriots dynasty, and now it looks like more

299
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: of the same for next year. I think it's still over.

300
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: I think say we're in a new chapter. There's no

301
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: doubt about that. And if you're Josh McDaniels, there's no

302
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: doubt that that's a new child. Because Tom Brady is not.

303
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna play for six more years.

304
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: You might get the later stage of Tom Brady. You're

305
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: gonna lose Belichick. It stuck about a gradual decline. Good

306
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: for you. I think I just threw gradual organizational changes

307
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: way to grab your spot on Tom versus time next year.

308
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: There we go. I just said everyone, Romeo, Cornell, Eric Man, Jennie,

309
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: Charlie Wise, Josh McDaniels the first time he was a

310
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: head coach, which is an utter disgraceful head coaching job

311
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: by him in Denver. These guys don't leave New England

312
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: and automatically become Bill Belichick. Two point oh and one

313
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: last fun little nug Bob LaMonte who is the agent

314
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: or was the agent of Josh McDaniels. Publicly, Hey didn't

315
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: mega he wanted he turned this into a show, uh

316
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: to to pump up the LaMonte brand. I guess first

317
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: All tells her own Mikey Garret Folo that he had

318
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: terminated the relationship um uh, and let it be known

319
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,359
Speaker 1: that he thought it was perhaps the biggest biggest professional

320
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: mistake of his career, McDaniel's career by backing out of

321
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: that Colt steal so late. And then he gave a

322
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: quote to Garret Folo, my word is my bond? What's

323
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: you break that? There's whatever bad it? He also represents

324
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard. Yeah, so there was the Monte heat on Twitter.

325
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: Greg got it really fired up on Twitter. Is like

326
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: all the times he ever leaked? How dare he be sanctimonious?

327
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. Yeah, I asked for more of it,

328
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: didn't get it. Greg. Back to vacation, all right. So

329
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: that's what's going on. The other big news, and this

330
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: was involves the Patriots on some level. A former Patriot,

331
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: at least jim A g Jimmy Garoppolo traded in the

332
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: middle of last season for a second round pick from

333
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: the Pats to the forty Niners, eventually took over the

334
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: starting job at the end of San Francisco season went

335
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: five and oh, um, you know, comeback wins, great throws,

336
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: great physical looks. Attraction. A lot of the men in

337
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: this studio attracted on a on a strange level. Jimmy J.

338
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: You know it's got those dark features. I just like

339
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: handsome guy, handsome guy. Fort niners. They're attracted to Jimmy J.

340
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: I don't know how, but I will tell you. Financially,

341
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: they decided to keep him around five year deal worth

342
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: one d and thirty seven point five million. According to

343
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: Mikey Garoffolo, Um, you know why did there, which is

344
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: so you cannot put Garoppolo and Garafolo in the same center.

345
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: That's just missing with pronunciation. Stuck doing that today and

346
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: it's uh, you should not he should not be Garafolo

347
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: should not be allowed to report on Garoppolo. I agree,

348
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: pass it off for the rest of us. And then

349
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: Janine Garoppolo or what's your name. Yeah, she's been on

350
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: the pop culture grid for literally like twenty four years

351
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: and now I am still like dealing with that and

352
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: now you got Garoppolo in the mix. Come on, man,

353
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: too much? Ain't right? Anyway, Jimmy G got paid. The

354
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: deal is the largest in NFL history on an average

355
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: per year basis. Stafford uh Met Stafford held the mark

356
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: of twenty seven million per year. Uh Garafolo, Garoppolo, Garofolo Jimmy,

357
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: gimmy his deal average twenty seven point five million, lindsay,

358
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: that's probably going to be quickly blown away. Is number

359
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: one by some of these other hotshots coming up down

360
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: the including Kark Cousins and Aaron Rodgers and so on.

361
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: But are you surprised that he got top of the

362
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: line franchise star money. No, because he's clearly their franchise

363
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: quarterback right now. I mean, I know it's a very

364
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: small sample size, but and he looked so good and

365
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: he made the team so much better in ways that

366
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: are even subtle, like the defense was playing better. Uh.

367
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: And and people who do actually know what they're seeing

368
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: on like myself David Carr was saying he's making throws

369
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: out there, that there are only a couple of quarterbacks

370
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: in the league that can make those throws. And so

371
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: when you have people who actually know the quarterbacking position

372
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: look at him and say, like, this is not smoking mirrors,

373
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: He is the real deal. And yes, it's a small

374
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: sample size, but the what they're seeing leads them to

375
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: believe that he will continue to look like this in

376
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: the future. Um, I think you have to pay him

377
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: like he's a franchise quarterback, and that's the going right.

378
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: There was so much outrage on Twitter from some pockets

379
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're watching that he got paid

380
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: by this, but you already have from Bill Belichick in

381
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 1: the entire Patriots coaching staff that they felt this way

382
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: about him. Had had the situation been different, they would

383
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: have paid in this throw Kyle Shanahan and the forty

384
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: Niners organization on top of that, and like you said,

385
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of other people around the league that they

386
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: don't need a hundred and seventy games to figure out

387
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: you pay this guy. The cap situation Number one is

388
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: this is not two thousand and eleven. You can pay

389
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: these people. We knew he was gonna get paid. He

390
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: barely eclipsed Stafford. He's gonna get eclipse quickly by Cousins.

391
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: Three years from now. The steal will look like a

392
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: total steal, because he will be a Super Bowl participant

393
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: by then, maybe even more than once. I don't doubt

394
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: it at all. They can. They will turn that team

395
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: around that quickly. What he did in the course of

396
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: one season for the forty Niners, how often do you

397
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: see a quarterback step in and do that from a

398
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: team that was ravering towards the first pick in the

399
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: draft to the closing out with four or five straight wins.

400
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: They were one and eleven and then they went five

401
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: and oh and Jimmy G had the highest drive success

402
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: rate of any quarterback in the NFL. That's my favorite

403
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: offensive statistic of drives with Jimmy G ended in a touchdown,

404
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: ended in a score. The Patriots led the league at

405
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: for the entire season. That's insane rate. And the same

406
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: Lemmings who are outraged were the ones who were calling

407
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy G Matt Castle because you have to compare every

408
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: backup with the Patriots to every other backup Jimmy G.

409
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, fans have been conditioned by sports with guaranteed

410
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: contracts like baseball and basketball to question all these mega deals.

411
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: When's the last NFL team that regretted paying a franchise quarterback?

412
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: You can get out of it after two years. No,

413
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals didn't regret paying Dalton, the Chiefs didn't reget

414
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: regret paying Alex Smith. The forty Niners got out of

415
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: Kaepernick after a couple of even two years was a

416
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: law for brock Oswiler. But yes, you all right after two. Yes,

417
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: there's the rare example and there and they're they're free

418
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: of it. But I mean, what is the other option?

419
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: You found this guy? You got you You're the team

420
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: that somehow got him for a second round pick exactly,

421
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: so you followed through. There was literally not a single

422
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: person inside the organization we're gonna do anything but signs.

423
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: It's it's a fair deal. It would be. It would

424
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: be like if the bank just gave you all of

425
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: its diamonds. Yeah, you don't even have to go in

426
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: under the leaders. The banks just like here, take them.

427
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: You don't have to do the Catherine zettag in that

428
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: bad nineties movie. Every year there's always a workaholic teams

429
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: that go from worst to first to Philadelphia Eagles are

430
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: the best example of that this year. I'm not saying

431
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: that the Niners are gonna end up in the super

432
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: Bowl next year or that they're gonna win it, but

433
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: they're the easiest pick to go from work first and

434
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: they're in a tough division. So I'm not saying that

435
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: that's going to be necessarily that they will be first,

436
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: but they are the most obvious choice. Well, they started

437
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: that journey, you know, with a month to go last season,

438
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: you've already seen it on paper, and they'll continue to build.

439
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: I mean, they still have high draft pick Scholore and

440
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: you don't have to make it. You don't have to

441
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: swing for the fences on Sam Donald or Josh Rosen

442
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: or Baker Mayfield. That's why it's it's a perfect situation.

443
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: Hope walked in the room the second that trade happened, Mark,

444
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: and there's hope for you and I. When you look

445
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: at Garoppolo and you look the Niners, you get a

446
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: good quarterback in there. Everything changed everything immediately, and that's

447
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: what happened with the Niners. Matt Patricia. We brought it

448
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: up before introduced as the new head coach of the

449
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 1: Detroit Lines. A little bit. I liked a little bit

450
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: of a panash from our friend. We haven't seen a

451
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: head coach put the pencil behind the year since when

452
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: West pencil behind the ear Tony Sperano, Janine Garoppolos, the

453
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: um No, Mike Tys did it with the vice. I

454
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: always thought he was gonna lose an Eyeballers and Patricia

455
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: famously always get hung up on the big bushy beard

456
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: and those manic eyes. But he always has the pencil

457
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: behind the ear, and he stopped the press conference in

458
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: Detroit and said, hey, I gotta get comfortable, puts the

459
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: pencil behind his ear. Twelve and four Detroit Lions. Uh.

460
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: And he also he made it clear that Jim Bob

461
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: Cooter will be back and then specify that it would

462
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: be the o C but you imagine it will be

463
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: a local reporter leader clarify did and he's not looking

464
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: even though Bob Quinn also Patriots ties not looking to

465
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: reproduce the Patriot way, you know what they're looking to

466
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: do the Lions way. Uh. Finally, will training camp start

467
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: a month later there this year? Yeah, Lindsay, you might

468
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: have missed this one. I know you listened to every episode,

469
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: but um, the Lines were the last to report to camp.

470
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: Greg points out that it was just is all scheduling

471
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: and and they didn't do anything wrong. But all I'm

472
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: saying is you get to camp earlier in eighteen. Maybe

473
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: it's to the playoffs. I think I would have they

474
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: would have been a shoeing for the postseason that kind

475
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: of hung around them psychologically all year. I think Second

476
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: Town really Finally, Malcolm Butler there continues to be you

477
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: know a mystery around why the cornerback who played in

478
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: nineties seven and a half percent of Patriots snaps was

479
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: benched in Super Bowl fifty two. Butler addressed the issue

480
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: in a Twitter post on Tuesday, disputing reports that is

481
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: benching uh was linked to disciplinary action. UH. Here's what

482
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: he said during Super Bowl week. I never attended any concert.

483
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: I went to a couple of concerts, did not see

484
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler, so that checks out missed curfew, or participated

485
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: in any of the ridiculous activities being reported. They are

486
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: not only false, but hurtful to me and my family

487
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: note and my free agency value. Hadrians are dirty. Although

488
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: I wish I could have contributed more to help my

489
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: team win, I have to get ready for the next opportunity.

490
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: A K. I gon and um. Tom Brady almost immediately

491
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: six minutes after that post wrote, love you Malcolm. You

492
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: are an incredible player and teammate and friend always. Tom

493
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: Brady is just like clicking reform. That was the underrated

494
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: storyline of that story. Does Tom Brady run his own Instagram?

495
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: Like do you think he's sitting there scrolling on his

496
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: phone and he found that or does he have a

497
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: social media team that did it on his behalf. I

498
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: think that got kicked to them though, because that wouldn't

499
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: be news immediately. If they're a good team, it wouldn't

500
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: be like, hey, let's just free let's just sort of freeform.

501
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's response to this radioactive situation, like, you've got

502
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: to realize but Brady has a very active social media

503
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: um wing arm and Uh, my guess is what you're

Speaker 1: saying is somebody's refresh. That's like, Tom, we got a

00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: i G. Malcolm Butler, someone's job was getting paid for,

507
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, like about four dred thousand dollars a year

508
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: just to refresh Instagram. We got a hot situation here.

509
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: Butler's addressed the controversy. We you said you wanted to

00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: over all, right, And that's what's happening in the news. However,

512
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: we have so much to get to. I can't even

513
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: find my gout papers here. It is that we have

514
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,960

519
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: song that gets us into our speed round of news.

Speaker 1: It's hard not to mimic it when you do, let's

524
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: wipe it away. No, no mimic, but I'll give you

00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: like right here. Whatever you want is the spirit of Colleen.

529
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: Should I wrap it? You know we wanted to put

530
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: that on the show, but I think everybody freaked out.

531
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: Cardi b uh Colleen infringement engagement situation. But Colleen did

532
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: a live Cardi b raps or making themercial. We can't

533
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,160

537
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: somebody like to beat box over this? Or I think

538
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: he got the wrong room for this. Well, that's the

539
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: only reason why I would ask if hip hop stud

540
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenhalls here, maybe like I want you to really

541

547
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: this in. This is the speed round. Gotta be quick

548
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: here hit it. Fulton all right, Chief CEO did not

549
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: want to trade Alex Smith to the Broncos West. What's

550
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 1: your takeaway on that? There's different schools of thoughts. Mike

551
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: Brown of the Bengals believes you can do interdivision trades

552
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: if you pay a premium for the player. Bill Belichick

553
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: once traded Drew bled So to the Bills within the division.

554
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: It's not unheard of, but I think most people believe

555
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't help out your division rival. Panthers

556
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: placed in terim GM Marty Herney on paid leave and

557
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: mid an NFL investigation into harassment accusations made against him

558
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: by his former wife. Mike Garifolo reported, a lot of money.

559
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: You think I'm gonna set you up for a top answer? Mark?

560
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: A lot of these around the Panthers right now are Yeah,

561
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: much more to go on that case. I will allow

562
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: them to handle it. Thank you. Rob Gronkowski. He may

563
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: be retiring from football, but he won't be ready to

564
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: just exit. He's not gonna be like Johnny Carson after

565
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: he left at the night shone and disappear on his yacht.

566
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: Wants to be in the public guy. According to the

567
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: North and Over Eagle Tribune, Gronk is considering a career

568
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: in acting. According to the report, Slice Stallone and The

569
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Rock both told Gronk that he could quote make millions

570
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: in action films. Lindsay he can't even sell the Patriot

571
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: Way with a straight face, like he answers questions like

572
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: he can't not say sixty nine without giggling, Like, how

573
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: in the world is he going to be an actor?

574
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: I can't agree more. What evidence do we have that

575
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: he can act? Well? He was in a movie, don't

576
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: you remember what if this has been a character. Maybe

577
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: he's a true word Smith underneath the reality is a character.

578
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: Check out the trailer on YouTube. You can't have It.

579
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: One of the worst movies I've ever seen in terms

580
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: of a trailer. Hey, Russell Wilson got traded. Can't believe

581
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: we buried this so far in the news. Um it

582
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: was to the Yankees. The Rangers traded his rights to

583
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: the Yankees. Wilson West said that he's always been a

584
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: dream to play for the Yankees, so he'll be at

585
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: spring training. It's like a career to seven hitter in single,

586
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: which is lower than Michael Jordan's was played into baseball

587
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: this guy. I think it's just a gift for social

588
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: media managers that you can put Russell Wilson and Yankees

589
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: in the same section on Twitter and get clicks. I

590
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: think you you nailed that perfect game. My friend, also

591
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: an Eagles fan, stole a seat from US Bank Stadium.

592
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: How is that possible? We were at the game. Yeah,

593
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: he stole a seat, had included in his carry on

594
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: luggage back to Philly. He got busted for it. He's

595
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: agreed to pay a fee. I believe in the range

596
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: of a thousand to two thousand dollars to pay back.

597
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: They's like the woman who tried to sneak a bag

598
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: of wine in her bra into the game, Like, what

599
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: are these people thinking? Both admi do that although he

600
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: got away with it. First of all, it's it's not yours.

601
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: I like West pointing out the core shoe with robbery. Well,

602
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: look it's yours. Give This guy could also be your

603
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: suitcase scenario. Well, probably what they did was it took

604
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: seven or eight maybe eighteen to twenty suitcase looks suspicious

605
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: and they're all under under a bunker, including this man

606
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: obviously has light fingers. I love the visual of West

607
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: there in the stadium after the game. The guy's going

608
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: out with his chair and he's like, that is not yours. Hey,

609
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: mr man, what are you up to? What's with robbery?

610
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,520

628
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: is so important of the network. Lindsay has the power

629
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: to make anything go away. Yeah, because she's the Apparently

638
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: I've had conversations with her privately that I'd like her

639
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 1: to just be on our podcast. The check things sat

640
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: well with me. I'm just being honest with you. That

641
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: would be cleaner. That's that's the thing. He literally just

642
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,160

648
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: it went from ringing and ringing and sending it to

649
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 1: voicemail on purpose. You know what it rings like after

650
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: rings and then it goes right to voicemail. Maybe I

651
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: maybe I built it up too much. She's so popular

652
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: now that she can't answer the phone. Colleen, are you

00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: was no pick up, and we thought that maybe the

Speaker 1: partying had started. So the party had started. Not gonna

658
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 1: lie going. But I looked at my phone and I'm like, god,

659
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: this number keeps calling me back. And then it literally

660
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: like two minutes to go clicked, and I was like,

661
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,799

Speaker 1: get into it, let's now all together with Colleen listened to.

667
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: We could have played all like five ten minutes of

00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: Jay Jason Kelsey's speech on the steps of the Philadelphia

669
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,279

674
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,160

675
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: it's new and I hope you all learn it because

676
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: I'm about to drop it right now. You know what

677
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: I gotta say to all those people that doubted us,

678
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: to all those people that got us out there, and

679
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: everybody who said that we couldn't get it done. What

680
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: my man Ja and John just said, So, Kylie and

681
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm asking this and we'll have you'll have to bleep

682
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: this too, Miss Fulton. Um, what did he actually say,

683
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: because I don't know, well, he was singing a song

684
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: and every other word was so yeah, you're gonna you're

685
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to bleep that. But it was it was

686
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: something about being from Philly and you know, and just

687
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: dying that over and over and it really got the

688
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: crowd hype. Now was this to you as a native Philadelphian?

689
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: Was it kind of a perfect like kind of highlight up?

690
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: And it will be how this parade is remembered. Kelsey,

691
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: the way he addressed the crowd, the way that he

692
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: didn't care if he was working a little blue, it

693
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: felt to me like perfect Philly. Do you agree with

694
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: someone from the area. Oh my god, I mean, everybody

695
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: is going to embrace Jason Kelsey even more after that,

696
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: because on top of how wonderful he engaged the crowd

697
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: and how he brought up things that were kind of

698
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: irreverend and it didn't even matter because he brought it

699
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 1: full circle and he did it all in a mummer's outfit.

700
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm from Philadelphia and I still can't really describe what

701
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: a mummer is. They asked me on the broadcast, and

702
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: I like him bells because I don't really even go

703
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: it's a kind of weird thing. Yeah. Actually, Lindsay Rhodes

704
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: walked into this studio today in her what is it?

705
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: It's not really a Mummer's but it's the closest thing.

706
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: What are you wearing? We'll take a picture and yeah,

707
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: I'm about to post it on social Pretty amazing. Um. So, yeah,

708
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: it's such a cool moment. But beyond that, everybody's gonna

709
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: remember when he turned into a total professional wrestler and

710
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: started dropping f bombs in front of like eighty thousand

711
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: people or whatever. But he went through, he went through

712
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: all the players and like all these guys. Everybody said

713
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: Lane Lane Johnson couldn't lay off the Jews, J and

714
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: g I couldn't healthy, Nick Foles, couldn't play like he

715
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: went through, couldn't catch a ball. Yeah, right, So it

716
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: was very cool what else, um what over the other

717
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: kind of big takeaways from the parade. Well, so I

718
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: stayed at a hotel on Broad Street, which is like

719
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: where the um where the parade kind of went down,

720
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: and I woke up out of a dead sleep and

721
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: heard all of these eagles chance and horns were honking

722
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: and people were screaming, and I flew out of bed

723
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: and was like, oh my god, I missed the Parade's

724
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: going calf in my hotel right now. And I grabbed

725
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: my phone and look at the time, expecting it to

726
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: be like eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was

727
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: one am. People were outside lined up getting after it

728
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: at one o'clock in the morning last night. And then

729
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: we talked to some people who were by the Art

730
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: Museum today where everything kind of culminated, and there were

731
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: people who had been outside since ten o'clock at night,

732
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: just kind of scouting it out and trying to get

733
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: the best spot possible. That's cool. See, that is That's why.

734
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: And Patriots fans will disagree because you always want to win,

735
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: but why And the NFL was good to have a

736
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: fresh face win the Super Bowl, and what what better

737
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: than a team that had never won the Super Bowl

738
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 1: because you get this whole fresh experience for an entire

739
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 1: region and you have this unforgettable day. I was talking

740
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: to Lindsay Falti behind the glass. She told me she

741
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: was nervous about the Calves and trade deadline. They basically

742
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: traded away half their team. But the Lindsay, the favorite,

743
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: your favorite day of your life, for one of the

744
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 1: most exciting days of your life was the Calves victory

745
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: parade after they beat the Warriors two years ago. Yes,

746
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: and my dad still to this day with four kids,

747
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: says that that was the best day of his life,

748
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: was that victory parade. So I know how you feel

749
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: cold where I know you were working, Colleen, But is

750
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: this kind of like a pretty special cherry on top

751
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: of an amazing season for you? Yeah? I mean to

752
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: see the Eagles do as well, to just see them

753
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: win and win and win and win and then kind

754
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: of be called the underdogs and go through everything that

755
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: they went through this year with all the injuries. It

756
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: was so amazing to be able to be at the

757
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and watch them win a Super Bowl, see

758
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: Brian Dawkins be get to get his Hall of Fame nod,

759
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: and then to go back to Philly and cover the parade.

760
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm still kind of a little in shock,

761
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: and it's hard for me to wrap my head around

762
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: all of this, but it's been so awesome and to

763
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: be able to celebrate with friends and family right now

764
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: is even better. Well, I just want to know, because

765
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: you're attached to this podcast with a bunch of people

766
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: who have never really seen their teams achieve anything, and

767
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: months ago you were right in that group with us,

768
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: and you were really down when Wentz got hurt. But

769
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: yet you felt like, oh, it's kind of better because

770
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: Eagles fans should have like really rough things happen, and

771
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: then this is more appropriate. You're an adult, you work

772
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: in football. You know it's the innocence of being like

773
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: a young sports fan is not there. But does the

774
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: feeling What is the feeling as an adult when you

775
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: watch your super Bowl, your team, when the Super Bowl?

776
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: There's so many years. I really would want to know

777
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: if it's even even should we even still chase this

778
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: or should we just say, you know what, there's probably

779
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: better things in life, or is this is mountaintop? As

780
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: we would think? It was so worth it? It was

781
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: so worth it. I had no idea that the feelings

782
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: that I felt were going to happen when they won.

783
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, of course it would be amazing

784
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: to watch the Eagles win a Super Bowl, but they're

785
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: playing the Hatrius and I'm worried about that obviously. And

786
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: when they won, it was like my friend Kristen, who

787
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: you guys know, she was face timing with her family

788
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: and they were all crying, and I was talking to

789
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: John and I was like, man, I wish your dad

790
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: could have seen this, because he passed away from cancer

791
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: years ago, and he was such a big Eagle fan.

792
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: And it was so much more than just watching the

793
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: game and watching a team win. It was more of

794
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: like just the reason why you love sports and the

795
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: reason why you get into all of this is because

796
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: it's about like family and those connections and the nostalgia

797
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: of it all. Well, that's we're all very happy for you, Colleen,

798
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: and I want you to drink plenty of water. How

799
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: do they say where you're from water, it's water, it's

800
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: called beer. But what kind of way is that? The talk,

801
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: let's be honest, weird because in the South, that's how

802
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: they say it. But I went all right, now, go

803
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: have fun. She's already become a hyper annoying fan. I

804
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: can try. By the way, Philly fans are going to

805
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,479
Speaker 1: handle this really well. There the next dynasty. You're gonna

806
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: wish New England was back, so the new norm, you know. Alright,

807
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: go have fun, Connie, Okay, alright, bye bye, go Before

808
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: we say goodbye to Lindsay Rhodes, a little bit of

809
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: breaking news. Legit, it's real. The Kansas City Chiefs of

810
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: A released quarterback drel Rivus. What a day in the

811
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: NFL just two months after signing the former Jets cornerback

812
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: to a two year incentive laden contract. Uh Revs was

813
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: not an impact player in Casey, just as he was

814
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: not an impact player anywhere after he left the Patriots.

815
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: It's the breaking news tag. Yeah, but yeah, he's a

816
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: Candel Fuller from the Kirk Cousins trade. There you go,

817
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: she did it. I wasn't ready to talk about Lindsey said,

818
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: Let's let's move the story forward. Revis is old news.

819
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: It's Fuller time, Full Tank for Fuller with Lindsay Rhodes,

820
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: her new podcast, debuting l Media later this month. Um

821
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: So Riva's gone West? Uh did Rivas? Bring anything of

822
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: value to the Chiefs. I mean they got to the playoffs.

823
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that he played that well, No,

824
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: I don't. It doesn't surprise me that he's gone. He

825
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: got Connor or got sandwiches out of it. But this

826
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: is kind of what a lot of people expected that

827
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: I think got more than the chief. Scott probably all right,

828
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: they brought something of value to him there and now

829
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: we'll see you again in five years. Well, Lindsay, you've

830

Speaker 1: done it again. He came on the show. Did fot

831
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: home run? Wow? Wow, that's Adam done really really hitter.

832
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:49,040

Speaker 1: Total Access, our flagship program. Uh, you gotta check the

835
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: show out. Just yesterday a shouting match but between Lindsay

836
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: and James Jones about Aaron Rodgers is perceived um status

837
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: as a franchise quarterback. Lindsay was not on the side

838
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: of that. Jones went after her. It was great, This

839
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: totally didn't happen. But I'm just trying to send eyeballs

840
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,960

Speaker 1: not happening. Oh that's good. Now you will hear. They

Speaker 1: because we're pros and we get the time angle here

852
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: of how things work in entertainment. Lindsay, you've done it again. Thanks,

853
00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Thank you. That first any a

854
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: legend and the odds and ends. It was very nice.

855
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 1: She kind of suckered me into doing some beatboxing that

856
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: didn't go too well. Brought a new flavor I thought

857
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: it was. It was it was. It was a hip

858
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: hop flavor. Uh that maybe I didn't expect. Alright, I

859
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: like it. I think you both pulled it off. Before

860
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: Before we go, we like we like to share big

861
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: takeaways from the super Bowl. I think last year, as

862
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: West noted on a Super Bowl show, which is still

863
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: available obviously on Apple podcasts and Stitcher and all other

864
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: places other than Spotify. Um, you could check out a

865
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl recap that was live from the US Bank

866
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: Stadium in Minneapolis. We didn't really get to dig into

867
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: big pictures because we were all frankly, and I'm think

868
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: it had something to do with the weather. I'm not

869
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: complaining about the cold weather in Minneapolis and the people,

870
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: as you said, Mark, very nice people, great week other

871
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: for in many ways, I think it grinded, grinding all

872
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: of us down by the end of the week, and

873
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl show in particular, I don't really remember

874
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 1: a lot, a little bit delirious by the end of

875
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: the show. So now that we've had a couple of days,

876
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: I actually got to rewatch the game on the plane

877
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: back to UM to l A. Here, um some big

878
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 1: picture takeaways from the game, and we'll start with you,

879
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: Mark Sess. Are we doing one or two? Here? Take

880
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: one big? I don't know where you got this two things. Well,

881
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: I had two points, but I'll only make one the

882
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: best one. I really love this Eagles team for what

883
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: they accomplished over the last month of the season. And

884
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: it's to me another example of and it's easier on

885
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: the road and say we know nothing and we should

886
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: stop making predictions. But but really more the the fact

887
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,720
Speaker 1: that their internal power completely drowned out the voices of everyone.

888
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: It's this is how they feel, obviously too, because of

889
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: what we heard from Kelsey. But what did the value

890
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: of everyone knocking them down a peg week after week,

891
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: from the minute when Standin went down, right until the

892
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? What was the value of that? Literally nothing?

893
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: The Eagles got to Super Bowl Week and the one

894
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: thing hanging around them that I felt vibed off them

895
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: so hard was ultra confidence. And I think that when

896
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: you have a team that can, whether it's bunkering down

897
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: the way they did and taking their own mentality and

898
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: owning it and taking it to the point where they

899
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: become the world champions the way they did that is

900
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: excellent coaching, it's excellent focus, and it shows how much

901
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: more powerful that is than everyone with all their negativity,

902
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: all their snark, and all their preconceived notions about what

903
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: the Eagles were, who they were, what their limitations were.

904
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: Everyone was wrong. I have or have the exact same.

905
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: I think it's what this team is feeling, because I

906
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: think it's a not even a lesson, because part of

907
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: your job, if you're a football pundin or you're a

908
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: member of the football cogniscente, is to say things like, oh,

909
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is gone. He's such a special player. The Eagles,

910
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: they might, you know, limp to twelve or thirteen wins,

911
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: but they're done. I think that I don't think that

912
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,959
Speaker 1: was unfair. At the time Nick Foles was bouncing around

913
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: the league, was almost out of football. But the one

914
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: thing we didn't know, and what the Eagles obviously knew,

915
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 1: is that they were so strong within and then and

916
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: you see it in the locker room after the game,

917
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: just how close these guys were, and the resolve that

918
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 1: they had, and the fact that, you know, when the

919
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: Sparrow that I heard from had mentioned that, oh, we're

920
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: gonna put forty points, will be disappointed if we don't put.

921
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: For nobody thought that could be possible. And I think

922
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: at the top of all that is Nick Foles, who

923
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: is a guy that everyone said, listen, he's not a

924
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: good quarterback. He's not somebody that could ever deliver back

925
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: to back performances, and then he did it and then um,

926
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: and let's play at Lindsay. I thought what Nick Foles

927
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: said after the game at his Monday press conference, uh,

928
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: when he was asked about kind of the road uh

929
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: to get to this moment. I mean, it's it's a

930
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: special SoundBite because it shows you kind of the heart

931
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: the measure of a man. I think big thing is

932
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: don't be afraid to fail. I think in our society

933
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: day you know, Instagram, Twitter, it's a highlight reel. Um.

934
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: You know, it's all the good things, and then when

935
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: you look at it, you know you think, like wow,

936
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: when you have a rough there's your life's not as

937
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: good as that, Like you know you're failing. And I

938
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 1: don't think you know, failure is a part of life.

939
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: That's a part of building character and growing. Like without failure,

940
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: who would you be? I wouldn't be up hereified and

941
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: fall on thousands of times made mistakes. Uh, you know

942
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: we all we're all are human. We all have weaknesses,

943
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: and I think throughout this just being able to share

944
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: that and be transparent. I know when I listen to

945
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: people speak and they share their weaknesses, I'm listening because

946
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: I can resonate. So I'm not perfect. Not Superman might

947
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: be in the NFL and we might have just won

948
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, but hey, we still have daily struggles.

949
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: I still have daily struggles. So um but that's where

950
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: my faith comes in. That's where my family comes in.

951
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: And you know, I think when you look at a

952
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: struggle in your life, just know that you know that's

953
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: just the opportunity for your character to grow. Folds might

954
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: not be a special quarterback, even though we played really

955
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: well in these last two games, but obviously he's a

956
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: special type of leader in person. We didn't get to

957
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: see that until the gauntlet of the Super Bowl, and

958
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: I thought the substance of that speech was among the

959
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 1: most impressive that I've ever heard from a pro athlete.

960
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: And it's a lesson that I think the three of

961
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 1: us have learned me not till later in my life.

962
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: I'm most impressed the fact that a twenty nine year

963
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: old has reached that place in his life where he

964
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: he learned that lesson and he knows how important that is.

965
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: It's one of the great lessons that life will ever

966
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 1: teach anyone. Um My takeaway, you mentioned Dan the fresh

967
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: fresh face of the Eagles sort of cult back to

968
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly when he came in. He's supposed to be

969
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: this great innovator, but he's rejected by a good portion

970
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: of the NFL. He his ideas are rejected. And I

971
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 1: think the history of football going back to the nineteenth

972
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: century is you have a dichotomy where the juxtaposition of

973
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: incest sent tactical innovation on one hand and sort of

974
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: high bound conservative conservative takes on where the league is

975
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: going and how players should act on the other hand.

976
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: And the Eagles married those two. Um, you have analytics

977
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,720
Speaker 1: in Doug Peterson's ear when he goes for fourth downs,

978
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: which a lot of coaches still will not do. Uh.

979
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: You've got him mixing West Coast traditional NFL offense with

980
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 1: college r p o s and marrying those two offenses.

981
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: And you also have the activism of guys like Malcolm

982
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: Jenkins and Chris Long, which goes against what a lot

983
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: of NFL people want. And I think the Eagles are

984
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: a great example. Maybe you know, it's a copycat league,

985
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll start to see, uh, some owners, some

986
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: executives around the league give more leeway on this type

987
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 1: of activism to go with the innovation. I just think

988
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: they're a great example for the rest of the league

989
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: on how they handled that. Everything to do with that

990
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: and the one thing on the chip Kelly, you know,

991
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: his arrival sent Howie Roseman, as we know, deep into

992
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: the shed, millions of miles away from the Poconos. His

993
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 1: return this team, and this is why the off season

994
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 1: does matter. For all the stuff we can't stand about it,

995
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, all Sean Jeffrey Tory, Smith, like Garry Blunt,

996
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: Corey Clement, Nelson Agholar. None of these guys Nelson Agholors

997
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: seen his trade bit a year ago. The rest of

998
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: them non on the team accounted for four hundred eighty

999
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 1: of the five hundred and thirty six yards by the

1000
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: Eagles in the Super Bowl. That's team building. They figured

1001
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: out how to build a team with veterans and rookies.

1002
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: It's not one drastic end or the other. It's a

1003
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: mix of players. You talked about it with the activism,

1004
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: the rest that the locker room. We saw it after

1005
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: the game. It was a different type of team. It

1006
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: was refreshing. Yeah. And uh, it's funny Jason Kelsey when

1007
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: he was going through each he I mean he went

1008
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: through probably people on the team, and he mentioned Howie Roseman,

1009
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: and that report that was confirmed. Not only did Chip

1010
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: Kelly move him out of like, you know, out of

1011
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: side of people. Kelsey said, I didn't see how he

1012
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: rose in for a year after that happened, and then

1013
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: he he came all the way back. So a special team, uh,

1014
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: and a special way to end the season, uh, for

1015
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles who are the Super Bowl fifty two champions,

1016
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: And that is our Thursday show. We will be back.

1017
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: This schedule changes, by the way, officially obviously there's a

1018
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: bit of a different week coming out of the super Bowl.

1019
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: But from now until after UM Spring minicamps wrap up

1020
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: in late May early June, we will go three times

1021
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: a week Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. So make sure to

1022
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: adjust your listening habits as such or lose out. Well,

1023
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: lose out, that's your problem. And UH one other a

1024
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: couple other notes. We will have a like a free

1025
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: Agency Primer, Free Agency Primer special. UH. I think it

1026
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: might be a standalone UH show that we're gonna put together.

1027
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: So we might actually end up doing four shows tomorrow

1028
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: next week, three or four. We're not sure yet. Uh.

1029
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 1: That will land next early next week, and we did

1030
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: not forget. We just had too much to get to today.

1031
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: Our top ten calls of two thousand seventeen we've been

1032
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: curating all year with Fulton UH, and now we have

1033
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: to narrow it down to ten and share our favorite

1034
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: calls of the year. So that is that, you know,

1035
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: there's a couple of those calls that are really really

1036
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: close as far as top ten goes. I think we'll

1037
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: have to talk about this, but we might need listeners

1038
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: to help us out a little bit. It might have

1039
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: to do some kind of all right, well, we could

1040
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: talk about it, um, how we want to do it.

1041
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: It's never easy. We did it last year and it

1042
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: was narrowing it down from it was twenty something calls

1043
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: and we got it down to ten. So we'll talk

1044
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: about it and UH, that's it. Do you do you

1045
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 1: have something you want to play us out on UH

1046
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: for today's show? Lindsay, Well, I was gonna play the

1047
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: chant that we were talking about with Jason Kelsey's speech.

1048
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: Oh you want to play the speech? And you, as

1049
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 1: a professional wrestling fan, lindsay, I know you probably love

1050
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: the fact that when he started going through each of

1051
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: the names. The crowd started going what what well? The

1052
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: difference here being that this is attached to a real sport.

1053
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: But but point made, Hey, you know wrestlers are more

1054
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: athletic than a lot of professional calm down. We're not

1055
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: going to get into this. Yeah, that mark that is

1056
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: that is firing a grenade, by the way, at a

1057
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:23,320
Speaker 1: wrestling sport. Um scripted entertainment. Sure it is, but do

1058
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: we really want to have this conversation? We'll save anyway.

1059
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 1: What I was saying, Lindsay was that is a famous

1060
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: crowd really originated in professional wrestling? Was the what what

1061
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: is that? Still? Do it? I mean I was going

1062
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: to play the actual chant that he was. I have

1063
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: no idea what Lindsay is about to play, but that's

1064
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: how the show is going to end. Um So until Monday.

1065
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: This is Dan Hanss signing off for Quiet Storm, the Mailman,
