1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: What is going on? Everybody? How are we doing? John

3
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: Middlecoff Little three and out podcast to start because we

4
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: had some free agency stuff. Forty nine ers cut, someone

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: else got rid of half their team. Daniel Jones is

6
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: signed with the Colts and as of recording this, obviously

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: things can change. Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers are still unemployed.

8
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: Now if you listen to us on Wednesday and They've

9
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: still signed, I think a lot of what I've talked

10
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: about still is valid in terms of it's kind of

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: crazy how far they have fallen in a short short

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: period of time. Aaron absolute one of the great quarterbacks

13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: of all time, Russell one of the stars of his generation.

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: And we had guys like Geno Smith and Sam Daniel

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: Jones came off the board before him, and he'd be like,

16
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: what the money. It's like, Yeah, Russell wasn't getting fourteen

17
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: million dollars market now, who knows Daniel Jones get fourteen million.

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: Hard to know what actually this money is. But with

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: these players, so we will dive into that and we

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: will do a I'll put go lo on in the end.

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods was reported tors Achilles, what a crazy career.

22
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's Tor's achilles, just trying to get ready

23
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: for the Masters. My man has had a lot of

24
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: injuries in his career. I think you can say goodbye

25
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: to the Champions Tour, so let Tiger take a cart

26
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: whenever he comes back. We'll also do some the players

27
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: this week. Some call it the Fifth Major. I don't

28
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: know if I'd go that far, especially now with live,

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: but it's a damn good tournament. So we'll talk gambling,

30
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: who I'm riding with, and then a little bit about

31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: what I saw last week from my hotel room in

32
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: terms of Russell Henley taking down Colin Morikow. When I

33
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: saw some more cow was comments in regards to last

34
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: week storming off and not talking to the media and

35
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: doing a post round interview. Rory netflix the Full Swing

36
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: Alls talked about that, so we'll do that at the

37
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: end of this podcast, and we'll get back to the

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 2: mail bag. I have so many dms saying congrats on

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: the wedding and wedding related that I couldn't even I

40
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: just don't. Honestly, I feel like I got hit by

41
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: a ton of bricks. We didn't go on her honeymoon. Basically,

42
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: because we had like a six day bender in Nashville,

43
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: which also included a wedding. But I do understand why

44
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: people go on a honeymoon because I remember telling Maria

45
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: It's like, even if we went on the honeymoon, I

46
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: don't think I would have the juice to do anything

47
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: besides lay there. It's like, well, maybe that's what people do.

48
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: They just kind of lay in the sun. It's like, yeah,

49
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: maybe I could use that right now. But yeah, I'm

50
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: just I'm on low few. But there's a lot going on.

51
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: So we will do a podcast, and other than that,

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: subscribe to the podcast, subscribe to the YouTube channel, and

53
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: again mailbag at John Middlecoff is the Instagram. Fire in

54
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: those dms and get your questions answered on the show,

55
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: because we'll try to do a mailbag for Thursday show.

56
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: And who knows, maybe Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers have

57
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: teams by then. But let's talk about some football. I

58
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: do think, just in general, the free agency period, which

59
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: is really fun. We love transactions in sports, and I'm

60
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: all for it. I do think this is a little

61
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: JANKI right to have trades and stuff be able to

62
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: happen before it becomes official. You could argue, like five days,

63
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: maybe not even a couple days after the combine, just

64
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: let it rip, Just start free agency on a given day.

65
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: You don't need the tampering, right because free agency has

66
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: been going on now for several weeks. It unofficially really

67
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: gets going at the combine. So if the combine ends

68
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: on a Monday, you could start. And I get it,

69
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: it's based on the work week. You wouldn't want to

70
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: start all these deals later in the week because you

71
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: want to own the news cycle. And I totally understand that,

72
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: but maybe even put more emphasis on the combine. Start

73
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: free agency on the Monday right after and just let

74
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 2: people start signing and trading and let it go because

75
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: that's where the trades and a lot of these moves happen.

76
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: I just think this tampering period is just a complete joke.

77
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: It really is. You know, free agency starts Wednesday. I

78
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: think it like noon Eastern or for Eastern or whenever

79
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: it does. Well, all these deals are already done, so

80
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: Wednesday's kind of a useless day. It's essentially Monday. But

81
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: they keep saying, well, Monday, it's actually legal tampering. Guys

82
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: can't actually sign. I think we could just cut out

83
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: the middleman here and just rip the band aid off

84
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: and just let people do what they're actually doing, making transactions,

85
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: doing deals, right, I mean, how often it's very rare.

86
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: I can think of one Emmanuel Sanders, but how often

87
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: a guy renigs on a deal? Right? So once these

88
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: guys like Milton Williams all of a sudden come Wednesday afternoon,

89
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: isn't just going to be on the I don't know

90
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers or the Arizona Cardinals, like he's going to

91
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: be a patriot. So I just I don't know something.

92
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: It feels starting to feel these last couple of years

93
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: like kind of a waste of the setup, of the

94
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: build up, because there is no build up. Stuff just happens.

95
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: So just let it happen and let it be official.

96
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: Something that was official today and he was on the

97
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: unemployment line for I don't know an hour was the

98
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, And I think it's pretty easy. And

99
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: yesterday I did a little rant at the end of

100
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: the day after they had officially cut Kyle Yustchek, and

101
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: just about the way the forty nine ers have gone

102
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: about this and the ramifications of a disastrous negotiation last

103
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: year with Brandon Ayuk when he took him to the cleaners.

104
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 2: I mean he bent them over and took them for

105
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: more money than I thought that they should give them,

106
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: and they clearly immediately regretted it. And that was before

107
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: he had a major knee injury. Things got weird and helped.

108
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: They've put him on the trade block for the last

109
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. They don't like him anymore. I've never

110
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: seen a team sign a guy to seventy five million

111
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: dollars guaranteed after seventy five catches and then immediately can't

112
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: stand the guy. So it's just a disastrous contract. And

113
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers have let every guy go on

114
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: their team, and I think on an individual basis, it's

115
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: really easy to justify each individually, you know, not connected

116
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: to anyone else. Drake Greenlaw injured a lot, torn achilles

117
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: two years ago, got injured a bunch last year when

118
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: he tried to came back. Tyler Nola Hufunga injured a lot.

119
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: Like it's easy to go through the list. Jalen Moore,

120
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: he's been a backup. Can't start. I go well. I

121
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: got Trent Williams, but you can't pay a backup of

122
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: freem Like, I get it. But today Leonard Floyd, who

123
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: started every single game for them, is a pros pro,

124
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: super high character guy, I mean a pretty high end

125
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: pass rusher. Not a superstar by any means, but a

126
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: guy that you could go to the playoffs with as

127
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: one of your rotational defensive ends slash starters. They just cut.

128
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: It was like, well, would totally understand it, Like I

129
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: got why the Rams cut Cooper Cup. He was gonna

130
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,119
Speaker 2: cost them twenty million dollars. It's like, you're not paying

131
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup in twenty twenty five twenty million dollars. No

132
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: one is right, but Leonard Floyd seven and a half

133
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: million dollars kind of the going rate for a guy

134
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: that is gonna give you nine or ten sacks and

135
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: never misses any time, Like that's what they cost. I

136
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: just do not understand it. It makes no sense. And

137
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: I have to be fair because we're often critical of

138
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: these teams that are cheap, and I've been on the

139
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: Bears for years the Bles that the Crafts and the

140
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: forty nine ers spent more money than any team in

141
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: the league last year in actual cash. Obviously, you have

142
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: to be under the salary cap or with the salary

143
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: cap on any given year. Because it's a hard cap

144
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: in the NFL, that doesn't mean you can't spend way

145
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: more cash than the two hundred the two hundred and

146
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: forty the two hundred and fifty million dollars salary cap

147
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: right in signing bonuses, and then you can manipulate the

148
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: cap well. Last year, the forty nine Ers in twenty

149
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: twenty five spent more cash than any team in the

150
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: NFL at three hundred and thirty four million dollars. What

151
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: was the cap last year, like two hundred and fifty

152
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: million dollars, So almost eighty million dollars more of actual

153
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 2: cap space they spent in cash. I mean it's a

154
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: lot of money. No one's arguing that spending on a

155
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 2: workforce of you end up having way more than fifty

156
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: three guys, let's say, seventy eighty over the course of

157
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 2: the season, three hundred and thirty million dollars in compensation.

158
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: It's a lot. I mean, that's the business these people

159
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: are in. And the Yorks have the team because once

160
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: upon a time, one of the greatest owners in the

161
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: history of sports, Eddie de Barbelow got caught giving a

162
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: brown bag to a politician trying to get a casino

163
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 2: on the water down. I think it was when Louisiana

164
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: and the Feds came up and he got in big

165
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: trouble and had to give it to his sister, who

166
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: the family is notoriously cheap. Now, Jed York is the figurehead.

167
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: They named him the president, and he on the day

168
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: to day operation. He's there a lot and he deals

169
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: with Kyle and John, but ultimately it is the parents team.

170
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: Jed York could not do anything without his parents' approval

171
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,479
Speaker 2: when it came to selling the team a huge contract

172
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: to brock Purty. Obviously when they're signing a practice squad guy.

173
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: And it depends on the operation. For example, the Eagles

174
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: spend a shitload of cash on a yearly basis, not

175
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: always one, but always in the top five, top ten

176
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: in the way they do signing bonusespecially the last couple

177
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 2: of years have a highly paid team. Jeffrey Leary doesn't

178
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: have to ask his parents for any fucking approval. He's

179
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 2: the boss. He's in charge. Just like if you go

180
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: around the league, even the chief teams Clark Hunt doesn't

181
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: have to deal with anyone else. If he wants to

182
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: have a cheap facility and a bad weight room and

183
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: get d's, that's his prerogative. He answers to no one

184
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 2: but himself, No different than Robert Craft. Jonathan Craft isn't

185
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 2: in charge. Robert is. And I think when you look

186
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: at the forty nine ers, your team, as Tim Kawakami

187
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: tweeted today, they are making a one hundred and forty

188
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: million dollars in profit. Honestly, my guests would be it's higher.

189
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: But I was talking to my brother at the wedding,

190
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: and you know, he deals with a lot of different business.

191
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: He's in farming, but they deal in construction. They deal

192
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: with so much different stuff. And we were talking about

193
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: some of these venture capitalists that come in and purchase companies,

194
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: and typically they like to get like a five to

195
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: eight percent profit range. Right, So your profit based on

196
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: your total revenue, If it's like five to eight percent,

197
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: you're doing pretty well. If the forty nine ers are

198
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: making seven to eight hundred million dollars, which I think

199
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: is a very fair guess, especially when you look at

200
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: their valuation of nine billion dollars, I mean they're making

201
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty percent net profit. That is money taken home.

202
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: So when I look at the forty nine ers pulling back,

203
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: I'm all four not being reckless and not giving out

204
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: stupid deals. Have no issue with trading Deebo Samuel, but

205
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: to all of a sudden have one season where you

206
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: go six and eleven and start pitching pennies like I'm sorry,

207
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: when you're the forty nine Ers, when you're the Lakers,

208
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: when you're the Cowboys. Jerry's been crushed over the years

209
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: for not spending that much cash when you're the Laker

210
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: or the Yankees, the Red Sox craft over the years.

211
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: That's fucking embarrassing. It really is, like no one wants

212
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: to hear you cry poor. And we talked about this yesterday.

213
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: You cannot give Purty an ungodly amount of money and

214
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: cut corners like the Rams just did and expect to win.

215
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford is a better player. He can carry your

216
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: team if you're going through a rough patch. He's proven that.

217
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: Brock Perdy, if you're going to have a team that

218
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: is not going to have dramatically less talent, you're going

219
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: to be in major trouble. Now, if you're cool with

220
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: going back to back five, six, seven wins, Okay, but

221
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: no one wants to hear that bullshit. So when you

222
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: cut Leonard Floyd, like, I just don't see how you

223
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: justify that. I really don't. Who again gets a job

224
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: in twenty five minutes. It makes no sense. And I

225
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: think the Yorks are kind of going back to their

226
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: roots of this cost cutting bullshit and being cheap. And

227
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: listen the other thing, like Mike Silver and some of

228
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: these guys writing these articles, I do think it's pretty

229
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: embarrassing to go basically four or five years in the

230
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: NFC Championship and a couple Super Bowls to have one

231
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: awful season. And don't get me wrong, it was bad.

232
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: It was a joke. Highest paid team in the league

233
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: six and eleven. I'm all for not tolerating that. But

234
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: then to just completely change your business plan and try

235
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: to go cheap is something like it's hard for me

236
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: to get behind. And you go through a little rough season,

237
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 2: some rough waters, and we start getting a bunch of

238
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: leaks about Kyle and John and the owners, like that's

239
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: low level bullshit. I mean it really is, because again,

240
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: this is a business that is their future revenue is

241
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: set in fucking stone. A lot of people, including myself,

242
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 2: like recession hits advertising chains like you would go it

243
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: would change your business dynamics really really quickly. Most people

244
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: listening are in fickle industries. Right can be huge swings,

245
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: Good times are great, bad times can be right. I

246
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: just married a woman who works in real estate, like

247
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: seeing the ups and the downs. That ain't the NFL.

248
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: They just signed one hundred billion dollar contract a couple

249
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: of years ago which they can easily opt out. We

250
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 2: just saw the NBA, whose viewership has been more than

251
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: cut in half, triple their revenue. The NFL is in

252
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: a different stratosphere, and those networks that paid for the

253
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: NBA would go under without the NFL. So the NFL,

254
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say, at least for the

255
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: next fifteen plus years, is borderline recession proof, as much

256
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: as that is humanly possible in any business. So whenever

257
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: you come out like cutting costs like that just a

258
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: bad look. It's really kind of embarrassing. No one wants

259
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: to hear Genie Buss, the Steinbrenners, like those type people

260
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: talking about it, and just within the last month it

261
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: comes out, well, the forty nine ers are valued at

262
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: nine billion dollars and they're gonna sell maybe ten percent

263
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: for a nice little nine hundred million dollar cash infusion.

264
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: And now you're just cutting Leonard Floyd to save a

265
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: couple million dollars. I just think that's impossible to justify.

266
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: But I do think if you followed this team for

267
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: a long time, this is the Yorks operation, you know,

268
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: at their core, when things get weird. When things are

269
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: going good, everything's great, everyone's you know, giving Jim Harbaugh

270
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: his flowers, everyone's but all of a sudden, you lose

271
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: a game, something happens weird. It's like everyone starts pointing

272
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: the fingers. I saw this happen ten years ago, and

273
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: now they're kind of doing it again with their roster

274
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, because one six and eleven season.

275
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: It's the NFL. It's hard, it sucked. It was hard

276
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: to watch. I watched every snap. But I think you've

277
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: got to be very careful. People will turn on you fast,

278
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: and the consumer is you know. I just that they

279
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: cannot comprehend this, and they will not comprehend this because

280
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: I'd argue, based on the math and the numbers, it's

281
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: kind of difficult to comprehend it. Really is like, well,

282
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: we got to pay party a lot of money, and

283
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: then you're coming out saying you're gonna negotiate hard with him,

284
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: all for it, not against it. I'd be like, hey,

285
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: three years, one hundred and twenty million dollars, I'll guaranteed

286
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: take it or leave it. Fuck you, I'm not playing

287
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: for that. Okay, see you in camp this what are

288
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: you gonna do? Hold out? Where are you gonna go?

289
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: I'm all for that type business. I am pro negotiating

290
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: like that. I'm not anti. This isn't some pro player.

291
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: You gotta give him all the money all the time.

292
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: Bull Shit. We saw that last year with Brandon a

293
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: Yuk and it was awful. It was stupid, you know so,

294
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm all for a very very difficult negotiation with brock

295
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,359
Speaker 2: perty but when you start cutting Leonard Floyd for basically

296
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: no reason, that one's a head scratcher, the biggest head

297
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: scratcher of the day. Though by a mile it was

298
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: clear last year. Really, the Anthony Richardon experiment has been

299
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: an utter disaster, and in fairness to Anthony Richardson, he's

300
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: not alone. A lot high picks over the last four

301
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: or five years have been really bad, and some of

302
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: them didn't make it very long on their whole on

303
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: their own team. Trey Lance didn't even make it to

304
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: the start of year three. Zach Wilson was gone after

305
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: year four or after year three, Mac Jones gone after

306
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 2: year three. You know, Justin Field's gone after year three.

307
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: That class sea the Kenny Picketts like people move now

308
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: zero very small amount of patience for these quarterbacks. Coward's

309
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: theory is like year two Thanksgiving, like you're on the

310
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: hot seat as a quarterback. Totally get it. But Anthony

311
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: Richardson's survival in Indianapolis is now tied to Daniel Jones.

312
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 2: And when I saw a headline from Tom Pelisarro that

313
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: he won't demand a trade, It's like, guys, we're not

314
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 2: talking about Steph Curry in his prime here, We're talking

315
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: about a guy that had one of the more embarrassing

316
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 2: moments in the history of the league. And don't take

317
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: it from me, just some former scout who talks about

318
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: football for a living. Listen to what every player said

319
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: last year, every single player, including his teammates. He just

320
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: hasn't been very good. He is extremely inaccurate, and he's

321
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: been injured a lot but to bring in Daniel Jones,

322
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 2: who might be worse, is insane. Now, Once upon a

323
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: time when the Giants drafted Daniel Jones, I was doing

324
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: this show. Many of you probably weren't there. We've had

325
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: good growth since. I remember saying, like most people like,

326
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: I think there was universal agreement, that's the most insane

327
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 2: draft pick I think I've ever seen. It was right

328
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 2: up there with well, if the forty nine ers would

329
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: have taken Mac Jones at three, that would have been worse.

330
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: But it was that level, like you just it's indefensible,

331
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: it can't happen. And I remember a good buddy of mine,

332
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: who's a high up executive in the NFL that does

333
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: the Southern region, was like, I think you're being hard

334
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: on Daniel Jones. I think he's a good player, and

335
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: he was well liked in the scouting community. A lot

336
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: of people thought he was like Alex Smith. But when

337
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: you look at Alex Smith's career, it was really difficult

338
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: for him, and his career was, I say, or I believe,

339
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: was considered a failure up until Jim Harbaugh showed up

340
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: and resurrected his career, and it wasn't for a year

341
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 2: and a half under Jim Harbaugh. That made Andy Reid

342
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: be able to justify when he got the chief job,

343
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: I can trade. I think it was like a second

344
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: round pick, give him an extension and like making my

345
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: starting quarterback and feel good about it. And then under

346
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 2: Andy Reid he became dramatically better than he was under Harbaugh.

347
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: And by the end of that run, when Patrick Mahomes

348
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: came around, they could have a big trade to Washington

349
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: with Jay Gruden, and Jay Gruden could feel really good

350
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: because Alex Smith by that time was just a really

351
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: good player. No one, and I mean no one can

352
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: say Daniel Jones is just an average player. He is

353
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: a blow average player who's never really proven anything. I

354
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: mean his one breakout year a couple of years ago

355
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: when they went won nine games. It's not like he

356
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: threw forty touchdowns. His career highs twenty. And you watch

357
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 2: him last year. I mean, when that guy loses his confidence,

358
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 2: he looks like me or you off the tee when

359
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 2: we're hitting it out of bounds. I mean, it's really

360
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: really bad. It's really bad decision making, like it has

361
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: no shot. The balls in the air. You're like, this

362
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: is a problem. And to bring him in to compete

363
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: with a guy who not only needs to be competed with,

364
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 2: but probably shouldn't be your starter. Is setting your self

365
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 2: up for failure like that Colts quarterback room Anthony Richardson

366
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: and Daniel Jones is really really bad. It really is.

367
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: And to go into the offseason and pound the table,

368
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: we need a veteran quarterback and to come out with that.

369
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: I think it's a tough one for Colts fans to swallow.

370
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: And if I was a Colts fan, I would be

371
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: pretty down on where we are. I really would. And

372
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: when people started trading for Alex Smith, he could play.

373
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: When they just sign now, who knows what the actual

374
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 2: number is. It could be fake, but it's clear he's

375
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 2: the competition I think is just insanity. And speaking of quarterbacks,

376
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: I do think it's fair to say the Tennessee Titans,

377
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: if they stay with the number one overall pick and

378
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 2: until they make a trade, I think we have to

379
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 2: assume they are gonna draft number one have two options.

380
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: They either draft Abdul Carter or they draft cam Ward

381
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: And based on where we sit on Tuesday afternoon, I

382
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: do think it's fair to assume that it's gonna be

383
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 2: the quarterback. Like, I don't think it would have been

384
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: crazy if they gave, like, let's just suck and let's

385
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: just figure it out. Sign a guy, help Daniel Jones,

386
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: trade for Kenny Pickett, just get someone in who could

387
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: at least just function and take snaps. I mean, Will

388
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: Levis couldn't even do that. I don't know if there's

389
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 2: actually that big a difference between Will Levis and Daniel Jones. Beside,

390
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones probably a lot smarter, but I don't care

391
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: how book smart you are if you're not f ball smart.

392
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, they haven't signed anybody,

393
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: so I think it's fair to assume at this point

394
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: cam Ward is going to be the number one pick

395
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: in the draft, and they just push all their chips

396
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: in the mind of the table with him and just

397
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 2: kind of reset, and then you get a division of

398
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones, cam Ward, Trevor Lawrence, and CJ. Stradd.

399
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:35,360

432
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: not like my immediate family or my wife or someone

433
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: closely associated with her like I'm out, I mean, she

434
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: watches some of these shows on Bravo, Southern Charm and

435
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: Southern Hospitality that it's like, I wouldn't be friends with

436
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: any of these people. These people are just too high maintenance.

437
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: I just don't do high maintenance as just casual friendships.

438
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: It's just you guys are like an energy drain in

439
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: my life. And one thing's pretty clear is that like

440
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: once upon a time, Aaron Rodgers, I mean, was being

441
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: a complete pain in the ass, was messing with the packers,

442
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: and they still gave without hesitation him one hundred and

443
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars guaranteed. Russell Wilson was fucking with Pete

444
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: Carroll and John Schneider for years, for years, but it

445
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 2: was like, he's so good, what are we gonna do?

446
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 2: He's going to Pro Bowls. It is much easier to

447
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: have leverage when you're a twenty seven year old smoke

448
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 2: show than when you're fifty two with three kids and

449
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 2: two divorces. And I think when you look at Russell

450
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, it's like the drama the ratio

451
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 2: of like sweet talent, sweet ability. Obviously Aaron in his

452
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: prime was much better than Russell, but even then Russell

453
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: was still pretty damn good. That it's all a whack,

454
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 2: and it's all a supply and demand chart, right like

455
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: the supplies of the justin Jeffersons relative to the demand.

456
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: He is so much better than like ninety eight percent

457
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 2: of everyone else in the league. It's not even funny.

458
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: So I'm using him as example. I'm not saying he is,

459
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: but if just because receivers when he DK is a

460
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: better example three or four years ago, it's like, yeah,

461
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: the DK, you know, it can be tough. Get some

462
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: get some penalties. Little got a big personality, sometimes doesn't

463
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: always listen. But it's like, where do you find a

464
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 2: six foot four, two hundred and thirty pound four to

465
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: two absolute thoroughbread. It's like, you know, you don't, so

466
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 2: you just deal with it. And then after a while

467
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: it's like, well, this production's kind of dip in. It's

468
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: like see a piece, You're gone. Happens all the time

469
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: at other positions, usually quarterbacks, you get a little more leeway.

470
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: And I'm sitting here and by the time you're listening

471
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: to this, maybe they have signed. If I would have

472
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: told you five years ago that Gino Smith would someone

473
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: would have traded a second day pick to acquire him

474
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: and then gonna be willing to give him an extension,

475
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: and Sam Darnold would be a free agent and several

476
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 2: days before a team that traded Gino Smith and who

477
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: desperately needs a quarterback will give him a decent chunk

478
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 2: of money, while Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers are just

479
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: free on the street. Here's the other thing. Pete Carroll,

480
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: who spent the majority of his career around Russell Wilson,

481
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 2: who became, let's face it, a living legend because of Russell.

482
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 2: It validated not only am I a great college coach,

483
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: I can win big in the NFL because of this.

484
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: Guy could have signed Russell Wilson if he needed a

485
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: quarterback had cap space. Instead, he traded a pick on

486
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: a team that needs a lot of talent to get

487
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 2: the guy that replaced Russell Wilson. I mean, think how

488
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: fucking nuts that is. I don't ever remember a guy

489
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 2: falling off a cliff harder than Russell Wilson. And honestly,

490
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: when you just look at the numbers over the last

491
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: three years, as his star has dimmed at just a

492
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: rapid rate, they're not that bad. Fifty eight touchdowns twenty

493
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 2: four picks, so basically a two to one ratio. But

494
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: he also has eight rushing touchdowns, so it's like he

495
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: has been relatively productive. But don't let the numbers fool you.

496
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: If you watched, he's a shell of himself. It got

497
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: called out this year was not good, and when he

498
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: played better competition, you had no shot Aaron Rodgers. It's

499
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 2: just like the drama ratio the age. It's like, ah,

500
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: we're just out, we are just out, And it shows you.

501
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 2: I said this about Justin Fields. I don't think Justin

502
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 2: Fields can plays. He hasn't proven ever that he can

503
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: be a thrower from the pocket. He can run around,

504
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: and he's a great athlete, but he's a good guy.

505
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: And it was like the Jets are like, yeah, we're

506
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: just gonna cut Aaron Rodgers and we're gonna pay this

507
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 2: guy who I don't even think and I'm speaking for them,

508
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: can even play. But you know what, he's just a

509
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 2: good guy. He'll get our franchise back on track. We

510
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: don't even necessarily care next year if we win five

511
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: or eight games. We just want some normality in the building.

512
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: We don't want to be a shit show anymore. And

513
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: they chose Justin Fields, who again can't really play, over

514
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, who it's not like he was making fifty

515
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: million dollars a year. Remember he gave Woody thirty five

516
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: million dollar pay cut. So it just shows you and listen,

517
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 2: I can get a little crazy. We all can. We

518
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: all can have our bad days. But over the course

519
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: of time and in a business like football, where you

520
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: spend a lot of time with people, treating people right,

521
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: and you know, Aaron's just I think viewed as a

522
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: little out there, Russell's just kind of viewed as a phony, right,

523
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: and just drama. Drama follows these people. Do you know what,

524
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: No successful person wants to deal with drama that's unnecessary,

525
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: especially drama from highly paid employees. Again, if you are

526
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: Robert de Niro or Leonardo DiCaprio in their prime, the

527
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: studio is gonna handle you. But the moment you start

528
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 2: like being terrible and not being able to move the

529
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: needle for a movie, like, I'm not going to hire

530
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: you to fucking be on my movie set. And that's

531
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: what it feels like with these two guys. They became

532
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: so famous, they became so kind of out of touch,

533
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: and in fairness, is more Russell than Aaron. Like Aaron's

534
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: forty one years old, and he had an incredible run.

535
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: And I hate even comparing these two because Aaron is

536
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: dramatically better than Russell, and Russell was a damn good player.

537
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Aaron, you could make the argument the top

538
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: five or six quarterback of all time. But I think

539
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: both these guys should have job. Like if both these

540
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: guys were just completely normal and just acted fine, right,

541
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: just for like mats like Matt Stafford is get along

542
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: with people. Just everyone likes them, never had really any issues.

543
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 2: They would both be on teams right now. But it's

544
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: the off field stuff, which again is impossible to really

545
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: It's easier to quantify Aaron, you know, ayahuasca and shit

546
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: than Russell's. But it's like, I'm not touching you because

547
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: the approval rating from all these gms. I mean, think

548
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: how many teams a week ago needed a quarterback. We're

549
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: just a bridge quarterback that still might even draft a

550
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: team a guy. And I'm like, yeah, we'll just take

551
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: our time. We'll see what their market is. We'll see

552
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: these are guys that have made hundreds of millions of dollars.

553
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: There were always the max guys and now the head

554
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: coaches Ocson GM's like, yeah, we're good. I'll just I'll

555
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: just figure it out with cam Ward. You know, I

556
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: almost I had my weeks messed up and I thought

557
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: the Players was next week. Maybe I was just discombobulated

558
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 2: from the wedding. And then I realized late Monday night

559
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: that the Players is this week, and I realized, well,

560
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: I got to do a little go low because I'm

561
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: going to gamble on it. I have a large wager

562
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: on the vig. I put together a little parlay from

563
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: my friends at DraftKings, and I was like, I want

564
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: to do a little golf today. And then I'm at

565
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: the gym today, soaking out my entire life from about

566
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: six day bender in Nashville. And I go up to

567
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: the cafeteria, nice little gym, and I get some food,

568
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: and I see Tiger Woods has torn his achilles, which

569
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: would be crazy if, like Tiger Woods was an active

570
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: member on the PGA Tour, and he's clearly not, though

571
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: he dabbles in the TGL which he owns, but his

572
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: team's terrible. But it's just a pretty jarring moment. So

573
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 2: I do want to dive into that. I did watch

574
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: in my hotel room a little Saturday before he got married,

575
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: and then a bunch Sunday the Arnold Palmer. So let's

576
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: dive into golf. Pretty fired up on some picks as well.

577
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: But I do want to start before we dive into

578
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: the players, before we talk about what happened last week.

579
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods. I've been saying this forever. If you just

580
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: look at his body and the surgeries the guy has had,

581
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: and obviously some are weight room and just wear and

582
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: tear of grinding on a golf range, which obviously the

583
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: golf swing is not a normal movement right with your back,

584
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: with your knees, the pressure points in the I think

585
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: there's a fair at one point in time before Tiger

586
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: started getting hurt like inn Oh, when he messed up

587
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: his knee at Torrey Pines in eight there probably weren't

588
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: many humans over the course of like twenty five thirty

589
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 2: years who had taken more golf swings than Tiger Woods.

590
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: So his body is like if you ever met someone

591
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: and just because when I worked in radio, I was

592
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 2: going to a lot of Warrior games and going to

593
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 2: a lot of NFL games, you would meet these older

594
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: guys that played in the NFL in the NBA in

595
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: like the seventies or eighties, and most of them don't

596
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: look like Howie Long on television. Some of these NBA players,

597
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: it's like they have seven different limps. I'll never forget.

598
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: The Warriors were playing the Houston Rockets in a playoff series,

599
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 2: and you know, both coaches give a pregame and a

600
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: postgame press conference, and watching Kevin McHale get to his

601
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: pregame press conference, you felt like you needed to ask him,

602
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 2: like you need help. It was really really hard for

603
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: him to walk. And the technology those guys have, the

604
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: shoes they played on, obviously, the injuries in football, the

605
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: surfaces they played on. It's crazy they can even move.

606
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 2: And that's how Wood's body is right now and when

607
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 2: you see and then obviously the car accident, which he's

608
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 2: lucky he didn't lose his leg, which is basically cemented

609
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: together with rods and this achilles. Like what really sucks

610
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: is I saw someone tweeting a couple of weeks ago

611
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 2: when they had that rich guy member pro member whatever

612
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 2: they call it at Seminole. Tom Brady's in it, Tiger

613
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 2: was in it, and people tweeting that, like Tiger was.

614
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 2: I think he played with Kegan Bradley or Jason Day

615
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 2: or some really good player was also in his group,

616
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 2: and Tiger's like blasting it by him or hitting him

617
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: by Like Tiger's pretty good player when he can play.

618
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: And I do believe that that car accident at the

619
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: Genesis really ended his career. But I think it's fair

620
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 2: to say that this is like the cherry on top,

621
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: like it's completely over. And I know he mentioned the

622
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: rehab process, but I do wonder when you have this

623
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: many different injuries and you have this many I mean,

624
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 2: why do so many guys get injured after they've been

625
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 2: injured Because your body is overcompensating. Remember it happened to

626
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson when he tore his acl in the NBA

627
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: finals and then a year later he tore his achilles

628
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: because you start putting more pressure on the opposite ligaments.

629
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: You don't have to go to medical school, you just

630
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: have to follow sports to realize it happens all the time.

631
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 2: And the amount of injuries Tigers had, especially to his

632
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 2: lower body in his back, it just feels like it's

633
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: kind of time for him to just officially retire and

634
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: take on a different role, and he started to do

635
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 2: that over the last couple of years, but it kind

636
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 2: of hit me today like there's a chance he might

637
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 2: never play in any of these tournaments again. And there

638
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: was no guarantee that he was even going to make

639
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: it to the Masters in a month, right, So it's

640
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: just kind of a brutal end and to me where

641
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: it really crystallized. And he's been gone for a while,

642
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: but he'll come back every once in a while, Like

643
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, came back to the Masters

644
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: and it was a really big deal. A couple of

645
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 2: years ago he plays at the old Course and it's

646
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 2: a really big deal. And he has three or four

647
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 2: of those moments every year, him and him and Charlie

648
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: this year battling out with the Longers, which I think

649
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 2: is one of the cooler events, especially now that Charlie

650
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: plays in it. I would imagine this injury in March

651
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 2: probably pops out for the PNC come this fall. It

652
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 2: sucks for Charlie, but the necessary just kind of demand

653
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 2: of getting these guys all back together because Tiger was

654
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: a one man rocket ship that could carry the sport

655
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 2: for twenty plus years and on individual weeks they could

656
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: do ratings that like the NBA would die for. Well,

657
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 2: those days are gone and now we have this split

658
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: up tour. And I on the plane ride to Nashville,

659
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: on the plane ride home, I downloaded like four or

660
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: five episodes a full Swing. I actually think it's pretty

661
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: good this season. It's just, you know, an easy watch.

662
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: It's entertaining. The Rory stuff is just the Scottish stuff.

663
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 2: It's just pretty good, and it just really makes you realize,

664
00:36:55,080 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 2: like you can have moments, right, like tennis and golf

665
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: where you just have these transcendent figures. Like when I

666
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: was growing up, my dad loved tennis because he loved

667
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 2: the macen Roe, Boris Becker, kind of the eighties of tennis,

668
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 2: and then I remember kind of just Pete Sampras and

669
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 2: Andre Agassi were just massive superstars and happened what has

670
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: happened over the years in racing, whether it be NASCAR

671
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: here to Formula One internationally, Like when you get these

672
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 2: superstar names, they can carry the sport, and golf had

673
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: that in a special special way with Tiger Woods, and

674
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: now they're much more dependent. Like one guy can't carry you,

675
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: Rory can't carry you, Bryson can't carry you. But the

676
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 2: group of four or five guys can and you can't

677
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: have them split up. So Tiger's done and he's been done.

678
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 2: But like this officially ends it, and it's just time

679
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: to figure it out, move forward and stop fucking around

680
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: on the players. So a couple of weeks, I guess

681
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 2: it would have been like a month to go. When

682
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 2: Ludwig won at Tory, I had a bunch of bets

683
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: out and I hit one for and I've mentioned this

684
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: before for Tony Finow, and I immediately took the profits.

685
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 2: It was like fifteen hundred bucks, and I put one

686
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 2: thousand dollars on Ludwig to win this week and I

687
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: put the other five hundred dollars on him to win

688
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 2: the Masters. So that's when I first got into golf betting.

689
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: One of the first bets I think it was the

690
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 2: first outright bet I had ever hit, was justin Thomas

691
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: to win the Players, like four or five years ago,

692
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: maybe it was three or four years ago, And it

693
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 2: was an incredible feeling because any of one that listens

694
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 2: to this knows if you bet football, like if you

695
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 2: take a big underdog that's like plus two hundred, right,

696
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 2: so you're basically getting one hundred dollars to win two hundred,

697
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: wherein golf you can get a blue chipper at twenty

698
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: to one, twenty five to one, sixteen to one. Right.

699
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: Scottie Scheffler's kind of gone into rare territory where he's

700
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: like a four to one golfer that is not normal

701
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 2: in like DJ's prime and Rom's prime. She's like nine

702
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 2: ten to one in the next crew is twelve, fourteen,

703
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: eighteen and one thing I've learned it is very, very

704
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: difficult to build to bet winners. It's why I like betting.

705
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 2: I mean, one thing I've gotten much more into is

706
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 2: betting the top tens in top twenties. But I think

707
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: on this individual week, like I'm just hoping Ludwig it'd

708
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: be pretty incredible. I'm fired up excited to watch him.

709
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 2: But Justin Thomas has won here before. And this is

710
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: a ball striker's course, like the shot making that it

711
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: takes in one it could be windy, but this is

712
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: a quirky course. This is not TBC Scottsdale where you

713
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 2: can just kind of blast it around. I mean there

714
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: are problem areas hitting the trees, you can hit in

715
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: the water. There are just disastrous to be had. There

716
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: are also low numbers to be had because there are

717
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: reachable par fives. And when Justin Thomas, and you've got

718
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: to be able to kind of work the ball both ways,

719
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 2: especially hit a draw off your right handed player. So

720
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: when I look at Justin Thomas, who is like a

721
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 2: throwback old school just can manipulate the golf ball and

722
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 2: he's great around the greens, not putting wise always, but

723
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: you know with a wedge in his hand like he

724
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 2: won here for a reason. And to me, you get

725
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: him in the top twenty, like you can get plus

726
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 2: odds on him. Keegan Bradley, who has played here well

727
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 2: multiple times. I mean was on pace at one point

728
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 2: in time last week at Arnold Palmer, which is a

729
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 2: very tough place to play. Bahill shot like sixty. I mean,

730
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 2: he was on fire. And he's in this weird spot

731
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: of like he's the Ryder Cup captain. He said he

732
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: won't pick himself so he'd have to qualify top six

733
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 2: and even then I think he'd be a little uncomfortable.

734
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: But he just has this weird motivation. To me, I

735
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 2: just watched it, but he looks like he's playing really well.

736
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 2: Same thing with Jason Day. So I'm taking Justin Thomas,

737
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: Keegan Bradley, and Jason Day two top twenty. I think

738
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 2: some of the top guys. I was watching Golf Channel

739
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 2: to day at the gym and Scott he's got about

740
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: four coaches out there. He's kind of shrugging his shoulders

741
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: and he had a driver in his hand. I saw

742
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: he was on the putting green. Xander missed like three months.

743
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 2: You got Colin Morikawa, who in last week Russell Henley,

744
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 2: who has resurrected his career in his thirties and it's

745
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: been awesome to watch. He's just like this gritty Honestly,

746
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 2: Russell Henley feels like the type of guy that was

747
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: on the PGA Tour when I was a kid, pre Tiger,

748
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 2: Like when you turned on and it was the Faldo,

749
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: Greg Norman era, Tom Watson was still around. You know

750
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 2: guys like that, you know young VJ. Singh, Ernie Els,

751
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 2: Phil Mickelson, some of those guys right before Tiger came

752
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 2: in the late nineties, there were a lot of guys

753
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: that kind of had vibes like Russell Henley. Russell Henley

754
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 2: does not feel like this modern day player who just

755
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 2: swinging out of his ass trying to hit it four

756
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 2: hundred yards. He's just a good golfer and he's playing Morikawa.

757
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: He chips in on sixteen, which if he didn't chip

758
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 2: in it might have been way by, but he does it,

759
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: flips it, he ends up winning it, and then Morikawa

760
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: a lot like Rory last year at the US Open,

761
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: storms out and doesn't talk to the press. I don't

762
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: know why we still call it the press Basically just

763
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 2: doesn't give an interview, and I saw Morikawa, like Rory

764
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 2: said on full swing, like I didn't want to talk

765
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 2: to anybody. I'm not in the mood. And more COWI

766
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 2: even used like I don't owe you guys anything, and

767
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 2: I was thinking, like, yeah, you don't owe these media

768
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: members with credential. That's not who you're talking to. Can

769
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: you imagine Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, you know, like

770
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: when the Bills beat the Ravens. Can you imagine if

771
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 2: just after the post game, Lamar Jackson's like, I'm fucking

772
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 2: going home. I don't owe anyone anything, He'd be fined.

773
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if after the Chiefs beat the Bills

774
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 2: in the AFC Championship game, Josh Allen was like, yeah,

775
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just not talking like no, that's not

776
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: the way it works. And one thing he got me thinking,

777
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: I don't blame call him Marikawa. He lives in this

778
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 2: world that just thinks all this money is just showing up.

779
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 2: It's because of the consumer, not the PGA tour. Not

780
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 2: even the only reason that these networks gave you that

781
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 2: much money is they thought way more people were going

782
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 2: to watch. But the reason these leagues mandate this shit

783
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL, in the NBA because it's good content

784
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 2: and it keeps the business model rolling. And I think

785
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: these players just are in la la land, which how

786
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: much money is behind the reason that the PGA tour

787
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 2: can't sustain this without getting back with the live guys

788
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: is because their business model is all fucked up. The

789
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: ratings have been down the last couple of years despite

790
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 2: getting a gigantic television deal. And if I was in

791
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 2: Colin more cow Isshoes, I probably would storm out too.

792
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 2: If I just blew it, it would have been you know. Besides,

793
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: he obviously he's won a couple of majors, even though

794
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 2: you know, COVID majors. But still, I mean, he's got

795
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: two majors. I probably storm out to. I'd be furious,

796
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 2: I'd be mad. How often do you think NFL guys

797
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 2: want to storm out, especially the quarterbacks. That's what we're

798
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 2: talking about. We're not talking about a guard, We're not

799
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 2: talking about Mark Andrews face. The music that's part of

800
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 2: the business, and that's great for the business. And then

801
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 2: the next day it gets everybody, aka the consumer, the

802
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 2: most important person, talking about it, and you just don't

803
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 2: say anything. Now. Rory, I would say, is in a

804
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 2: different level right than Colin. But there has to be like,

805
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 2: there has to be mandates, and this is the type

806
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: stuff that golf has to figure out. Not everyone can

807
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 2: just be out for themselves. That's not how all these

808
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 2: other sports, especially football, which is in a different stratosphere

809
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 2: than you would ever think about operating, they would not

810
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 2: allow it. And if you do skip, I'm gonna find

811
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 2: you fifty k because that's what happens in the NFL.

812
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 2: Cam Newton literally wouldn't jump on a fumble. He had

813
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 2: to talk after the Super Bowl, so Colin at least

814
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 2: Rory was the US Open. This is the bail, like

815
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 2: Arnold Palmer that no one even likes, and the players

816
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 2: the next week not the end of the world. Get

817
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 2: up there, even if your answers suck. It is just

818
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 2: good to get because honestly, once Rory started talking on

819
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 2: full swing, it was fascinating to hear his mindset about

820
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 2: missing that putt in sixteen. He thought that he blew

821
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: it because he gave Bryce a shot. Like that's the

822
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 2: type stuff people want to hear about. I just I

823
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 2: think sometimes when people become so rich like in the NFL,

824
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 2: Mahomes like his business is providing that, you know. In

825
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: the NBA, sometimes it's like guys can be out of

826
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 2: touch because the business is making so much money based

827
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 2: on a contract that is all out of whack. And

828
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 2: it's like, I think these guys have a false sense

829
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 2: of like how lucky they are to be in this

830
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 2: position given that the audience is not there, and I

831
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 2: put golf right there. The NFL, like they can be

832
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: a little cocky. Josh Allen's like Patrick Mahomes, like, we

833
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 2: just got fifty million people to watch us fucking play football,

834
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 2: and they're speaking facts. No one everyone else is dealing

835
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 2: with diminishing returns and this, honestly, it's like one of

836
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 2: the great legal scams going in America with Jay Monahan

837
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 2: and the deal that they cut with these networks because

838
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 2: they need inventory, but it's not based on how many

839
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 2: people are watching. And that's why we hear so often

840
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 2: about the ratings because it's kind of problem and I

841
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 2: think these players is like, you know, there's one guy

842
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: that really moved the needle. Most of these other people

843
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 2: do not, So I think that really needs to be

844
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 2: kind of figured out. And yeah, I'm a sucker for

845
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 2: the Florida Swing. Love the players, and like I said,

846
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: I think anytime you can get ball strikers like j T.

847
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: You know j T plus odds but Keegan and Jason

848
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 2: Day like two to one to top twenty, it gives

849
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 2: you so much, you know, margin for air. And honestly,

850
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even feel that comfortable if I hadn't done

851
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: the Ludwig thing betting on an outright. You know, Shane

852
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 2: Lowry's been playing really well. He's a guy. But I

853
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 2: heard someone say that they thought this was more of

854
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: a drawers course than a fader's course for right hander.

855
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 2: You know, Tommy Fleetwood has never won, but he would

856
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 2: fall into that category in theory. Rory would fall into

857
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 2: that category as well. But uh yeah. Other than that,

858
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 2: I feel for Tiger. I mean, you talk about a guy.

859
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 2: I just don't think in the history of life when

860
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 2: it comes to athletes, we have seen a more weathered

861
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: I mean we're talking about golf. The guy is put

862
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 2: together like he played right tackle from nineteen seventy one

863
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 2: to nineteen eighty four. It's like Tiger's just played golf,

864
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 2: and I mean his back's fused, his ankles fuse, his

865
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 2: achilles ripped, his ACL's gone, his leg's broken, he got

866
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: a club to the tooth. He just had a lot

867
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 2: of shit happen. I remember, I got a buddy who

868
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: played on the tour for a long time. We bullshit

869
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 2: about football a lot, and he texted me one time

870
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 2: after something happened to Tiger. He's like, I don't think

871
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 2: there's ever quite been a life like that. And I

872
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 2: think there are certain individuals. You know, Tigers involved highs

873
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 2: and money and a lot of pain, But like Michael Jackson,

874
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: when you just see stuff on Michael Jackson, you're just like,

875
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 2: he led a life unlike any human being, you know,

876
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 2: good and the bad. It would ruin and fuck up everybody.

877
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 2: And some of this stuff with Tiger self inflicted. There's

878
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 2: no way around it. But you know, the guy's just

879
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: trying to hopefully get dialed enough for the Masters his achilles,

880
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 2: just so he could play. Probably, I guess he's never

881
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 2: missed the cut. But even if he just comes out

882
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 2: there hits a couple of balls, even if he missed

883
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 2: the cut, no one would even care. And his achilles pops.

884
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 2: My god, I mean, oh man, I just that guy's

885
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 2: life been pretty crazy. I know me. I couldn't. I

886
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 2: wouldn't have the energy to get behind that bad boy. Yeah,

887
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 2: I would have tapped out of like twenty five years

888
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 2: old and they're like this, I've had enough. The volume
