What's right with 12 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 2: Nick Wright writing solo again today? And you know what, 13 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: I think my little sign is a little crooked, So 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: I'm gonna fix that as we get going solo today. 15 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: And by the way, today's episode is brought to you 16 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: by Starbucks Ready to Drink Coffee.

All right, we'll get right into it today. 20 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: We have a ton to do. Here is what has 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 2: missed the cut for today's show. Not on today's show, 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: Bronnie back home and recovering. That is the second usc 23 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: basketball player to have this happen, to practice cardiac arrest 24 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: and seemingly be fine. We'll see what it means for 25 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: Bronnie's career. But the fact of the matter is that 26 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 2: Bronni was it was is back home. The other player 27 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: ended up playing later in the season, so God bless 28 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: him in the family. Patrick Beverly saying the Clippers would 29 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: have won the title if the bubble didn't happen. It's 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: just ridiculous, and the staff trawling me for my incorrect 31 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: tweet about Errol's Spence Junior and the Crawford fight. Yeah, listen, 32 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: we can spend a minute on that. That way. Nobody 33 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 2: saw that coming. You might have picked Crawford to win. 34 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: And I managed to make some money on the fight anyway, 35 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: because I kind of bets all over the place on it. 36 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is nobody thought it 37 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: was going that Errol Spence Junior was gonna look out 38 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: of his league. And if you're not a big fight 39 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: fan and you're not familiar with him, he is a 40 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: great fighter, a great fighter was twenty nine to zero, 41 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 2: had never been knocked down, and Bud Crawford maim made 42 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 2: him look like a glass joe. It was startling to 43 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: see that. I do hope they fight again, even though 44 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: I don't think Errol would win. If he were to 45 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: win in the rematch in December, it would set up 46 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: an all time trilogy. But he obviously was not prepared 47 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: for what Terence Crawford had ready for him. Who's now 48 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: the first man ever to be the undisputed four belt 49 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: champion in two different weight classes and became an all 50 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: timer with that performance. All Right, we're gonna start the 51 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: show with something I did not watch live, but I 52 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 2: did get up this morning to watch having DVRD it, 53 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: and that is the debacle that was the US women's 54 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: national team game against Portugal. It's a zero zero draw. 55 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: They do by the skin of their teeth advance to 56 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: the knockout round. Some context here, and I understand it's 57 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: different players, it's different here as all of it. But 58 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: the US women's national team going into this match was 59 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: historically eleven to zero against Portugal, having outscored them thirty 60 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: nine to nothing. This was a game that the women's 61 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: national team. If they didn't win, they were going home, 62 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: and in stoppage time in the ninetieth minute, or I 63 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: guess in the ninety plus minute, apologize for the buzzing. 64 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 2: Portugal should have won. They had a half breakaway shot 65 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: that hit the post. 66 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: It is. 67 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: Honestly, the US is lucky to be advancing now. They 68 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 2: are advancing with Rose Lavelle being out for their round 69 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: of sixteen game, which probably will come against Sweden. If 70 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: you're watching this live, we don't know who they're playing. 71 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 2: If you're watching this delayed, you know sometime later in 72 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: the week we will know who they're playing. But the 73 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: odds are they're going to be playing Sweden. It would 74 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: take some real mayhem in Sweden's group for Sweden not 75 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: to win their group, and the US didn't win their group. 76 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: The Netherlands did. The Netherlands was up five to nothing 77 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: on Vietnam at halftime. I don't even know what the 78 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: final score of that game was. They annihilated them and 79 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: for the first time in this tournament, the US are 80 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 2: not favored to win the Cup. I think they'll be 81 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: favored in the match against Sweden. I don't know that 82 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 2: they deserve to be Without rose level, with the team 83 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: showing really no offensive punch this entire tournament, it hasn't 84 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: looked good. Now you can argue this was the wake 85 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,679 Speaker 2: up call they needed. They're going to be a different team. 86 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: They're going to play more to form in the knockout stage, 87 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: but there has not been a moment this tournament even 88 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: that what looked like a fine three to zero victory 89 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: against Vietnam where this Seas has looked like a champion 90 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: just hasn't. And I am not quite sophisticated enough, certainly 91 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 2: on the women's soccer side of things, to be able 92 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 2: to pillory the coach, but the folks who do seem 93 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: to follow this very closely have been uninspired with the coach. 94 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: I know Carly Lloyd was very angry that after the 95 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 2: game this morning the women were celebrating and taking pictures 96 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 2: with fans. I have less of an issue with that, 97 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: but that set that aside. The issue is they have 98 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: not played well and now with the latest odds that 99 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 2: I see, England and Spain are co favorites to win 100 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: the Cup with the US right behind them after the 101 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: US was significant favorites heading into the tournament, so they 102 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: flatly need to play better. All right. Next, so this 103 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: says terrible QB tiers. I don't know that I think 104 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 2: these QB tiers are terrible, but I want to spend 105 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: some significant time on this for a number of reasons. 106 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: So one of the best things the Athletic and Mike 107 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 2: Sando do is they get fifty NFL people. If you will, 108 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: it is thirty the fifty league insiders, which are ten 109 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: head coaches, fifteen coordinators, ten executives, four quarterbacks I'm sorry, 110 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: four quarterback coaches, and a handful of folks involved in 111 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: coaching and analytics. To rank the quarterbacks in the league 112 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: by tier, you have tier one, two, three, four, five, 113 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: And you guys know, I'm a big fan of tiering 114 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: things rather than just doing flat rankings, and the very 115 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: top makes sense. Patrick mahomes number one with fifty first 116 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: place votes. Number two Joe Burrow with forty nine first 117 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: place votes. I actually, you know, I'd be interested to 118 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: see the person that said Joe Burrow was not a 119 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: Tier one quarterback. That to me is wish casting. He's 120 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: clearly a Tier one quarterback. It gets a little harrier 121 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: after that. So Josh Allen got forty four Tier one votes. 122 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: By the way, I probably would have voted Josh Allen 123 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: Tier one. Now I wouldn't have him as the third 124 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 2: best quarterback in football, but he is. Even despite the 125 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 2: roller coaster nature of him and the almost his almost 126 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 2: frenetic style of play, He's a Tier one quarterback because 127 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: the upside's so high. Rogers comes in next. He had 128 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 2: thirty Tier one votes and indeed Tier two votes. Rogers 129 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: not a Tier one quarterback, flatly, and the cliff that 130 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: so many folks myself included Max Kellerman and myself maybe 131 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: most famously talked about Brady falling off that he never 132 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: really fell off. I wonder if Rogers fell off it 133 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: last year. Wild's brought this point up to me, and 134 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,119 Speaker 2: I thought it was a smart one and for Rogers, 135 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: folks try to convince themselves, oh no, But he turned 136 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 2: it on at the end of last year. He flatly 137 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 2: did not Rogers at the end of last year when 138 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: they went on that winning streak, he did not play better. 139 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 2: His numbers actually were worse when they went four and 140 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: one down the stretch. Rogers in those five games had 141 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 2: two hundred yards per game PAS, five total passing touchdowns, 142 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 2: three interceptions, and an eighty six passer rating. He was 143 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: not better. They won those games because they played the Bears, 144 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 2: who were on a ten game losing streak, the Rams, 145 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: who were a disaster. They squeaked by against Miami. That 146 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: was the game that we couldn't figure out how Tua 147 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 2: was so awful in the second half with three picks. 148 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: Then we found out he had suffered another concussion during 149 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: that game, and Minnesota they annihilated. Rogers threw one hundred 150 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: and fifteen for one hundred and fifty nine yards that game. 151 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 2: Minnesota turned the ball over four times, and then in 152 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 2: their final game of the year at home in Lambeau, 153 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: Rogers was awful. They scored sixteen points and his final 154 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 2: throw as a Packer was a terrible duck, a hail 155 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: mary when he didn't have to throw a hail mary, 156 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: which made it three straight years. Rogers season ended at 157 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 2: home when he couldn't make the play the NFC title 158 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: game against Brady. He could have run, he didn't. They 159 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: don't get the ball back. The next year ten ten 160 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: at home against the Niners, when the Niners offense doesn't 161 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 2: score a point the entire game, he just throws hail 162 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: mary after hail Mary on that three and out drive 163 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: to Devonte Adams. I think it was Lazardi had wide 164 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: open over the middle when they only needed a field goal. 165 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 2: They then lose and then at home to the Lions 166 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 2: in a playoff game. Rogers is not a top four 167 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 2: quarterback anymore, and he's going the idea that the only 168 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: precedent for a quarterback at his age getting better is Brady, 169 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 2: and we have dreams of data that Rogers is not Brady. 170 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: The next Tier one quarterback is Herbert. He's the last 171 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 2: Tier one quarterback. He had twenty nine Tier one votes 172 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: and twenty one Tier two votes. I'm okay with that. 173 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 2: I think having Herbert, though ahead of Jalen Hurts and 174 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: the Prince is incorrect. I like Herbert. The Chargers scare 175 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: the hell out of me. I do think that there 176 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 2: is a level of romanticism of his arm talent and 177 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: his potential when we have not yet seen him take 178 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 2: the major leap we expected him to take between year 179 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: one and year two, or certainly year two and year three, 180 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 2: when year three is probably his worst year. I know 181 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: he was banged up all year. I know they had injuries. 182 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 2: I think that's a touch overrated Jalen Hurts. We just 183 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: showed you guys some of the rankings. Jalen Hurts comeings 184 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: in next. He had ten Tier one votes, thirty eight 185 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: Tier two votes, and two who Tier three votes. That's 186 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: disrespectful to what the guy's accomplished. He am I dead 187 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 2: certain Jalen Hurts is it can't miss ten year awesome quarterback? No? 188 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: But does he have the track is he building the 189 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 2: track record of it? Is his arrow continually pointing up unquestionably? 190 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 2: I think he should have been a Tier one guy. 191 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 2: Lamar comes in next. Lamar had eight Tier one votes, 192 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: thirty seven Tier two votes, and five Tier three votes. 193 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 2: I think that's correct. I think Lamar is right beneath 194 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: the Tier one quarterbacks, and I will believe that until 195 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: he becomes more consistent in the layups. Then there's the 196 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: Prince Trevor. He had three Tier one votes, thirty three 197 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: Tier two votes, and fourteen Tier three votes. If you 198 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: think Peyton Manning two point zero is a Tier three quarterback, 199 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: you're just not paying attention. The guy is a future, 200 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 2: if not current superstar. He might win League MVP this year. 201 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 2: He and Ridley are going to be dynamic. He had 202 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: the second most playoff touchdowns of anyone in the league 203 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: last year. He was spectacular in the second half of 204 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: the season. You almost have to throw out year one 205 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: under urban Meyer. I think Trevor's underrated, but don't listen 206 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: to me. I've only been right about him and the 207 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: Jags every step of the way. Dak is number nine, 208 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: which is about right. He had one Tier one vote, 209 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: thirty six Tier two votes, and thirteen Tier three votes. 210 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: And then there's Matt Stafford at number ten, and I'm 211 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 2: not going to go through all the voting on everyone else. 212 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 2: I actually wanted to talk about this for this is 213 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: actually kind of a commentary on running back pay. So 214 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: just follow me down this path. Because Stafford is ten, 215 00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson is eleven, Kurk Cousins twelve, and then Tier 216 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: three Kyler Carr, goff Russ Tua, who, while I've been 217 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: down on him, that's too low for Tua, Jimmy g eighteen, 218 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones nineteen, Geno twenty, Justin Fields, who has the 219 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: variance for him has to be the most Tannehill twenty two, 220 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 2: Mac Jones twenty three. Okay, so here's why I wanted 221 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: to talk about this you want to know why Daniel Jones, 222 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: who you know, is barely a top twenty quarterback by 223 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: this ranking, and I think that's a fair ranking. I 224 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: think Daniel Jones when you incorporate his athleticism, his arm talent, 225 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: and then the flip side, the limited nature of his accuracy, 226 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: the fact that if you ask him to make time 227 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: throws is gonna turn the ball over. He's just barely 228 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 2: in the top twenty. And I think Gino's a little 229 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: underrated there, but that's fine. This is why quarterbacks are 230 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: gonna just take up a bigger and bigger percentage of 231 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 2: the salary gap for the near future, until we are 232 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 2: able to have a level of competence from the below 233 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: average quarterbacks that currently does not exist. The fact of 234 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: the matter is that there are not twenty human beings 235 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: alive right now who can play the quarterback position better 236 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: than Daniel Jones, and Daniel Jones is barely competent at 237 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: it that Ryan Tannehill is firmly in the top twenty 238 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 2: five this listen. I didn't take economics in high school. 239 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: I'm not or in college either. I'm not a stock 240 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 2: sky where you talk about market forces. But it doesn't 241 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 2: You don't have to be John Nash to understand that. 242 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: Right now, the best thing going for good but not 243 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 2: great quarterbacks is the fact that the cliff you fall 244 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 2: off from the average to the incompetent is steep and sudden, 245 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: and your team cannot function with the incompetent ones. Now, 246 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: everyone beneath Jones isn't destined to be incompetent. You have fields, 247 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: you have picket, you have purty, you have love, You 248 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: have a lot of young guys who maybe one day 249 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 2: will be good. But there may exist a world in 250 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 2: fifteen years where, because quarterback training becomes so specialized, and 251 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 2: because seven on seven becomes so ubiquitous, and because high 252 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: school and college teams start throwing the ball more and 253 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 2: more and more, that there is a surplus of mediocre quarterbacks. 254 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 2: The moment that happens, the NFL salary structure will turn 255 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: on its head. And what I mean by that is, 256 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: if we ever get to a place where there are 257 00:18:51,760 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: sixty Ryan Tannehill Mac Jones level quarterbacks, then the Daniel 258 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 2: Joneses of the world stop getting paid, Jimmy G's of 259 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 2: the world stop Derek Carr's stop getting paid. It's what's 260 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 2: happened with running backs because there's two hundred potential Isaiah 261 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 2: Pacheco's you can't justify paying the good but not great ones. 262 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 2: And even the great ones are having a hard time 263 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: really getting paid. And so I hope this is I'm 264 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: making this clear to the audience right now. When you 265 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: see Justin Herbert makes fifty three million dollars a year 266 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 2: and you're about to see Burrow make fifty five million, 267 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 2: you have to recognize, though, that fifty three million is 268 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 2: really only about thirteen to fifteen million, because forty million 269 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 2: is the anchored cost of competence. And so you're if 270 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: you if you don't have a quarterback on a rookie 271 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: deal and you want a competent quarterback, maybe you can 272 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 2: say the anchored cost is what car makes, so not 273 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: what Daniel Jones makes. So car, Derek Carr, what does 274 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 2: he make? Thirty five? He got four? No, he got 275 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 2: I mean he got four for one fifty. Now that's 276 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: it's really three for one hundred, because that last year 277 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 2: is a fifty million dollar year. So yeah, call the 278 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 2: anchored cost thirty five right now, the price to get 279 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: in the room of a non rookie contract competent quarterback 280 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: is thirty five million. So justin Herbert doesn't really cast 281 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: lost you fifty three, he costs you eighteen and when 282 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 2: And I know that sounds counterintuitive, but the only comp 283 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: I can give you is, and I'm not the first 284 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 2: person to use this example, but if you go to 285 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: a fancy steakhouse and you've decided I'm getting a steak. 286 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 2: If the cheapest steak is sixty dollars and the fancy 287 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 2: steak is eighty dollars, you're yes, you are spending eighty dollars. 288 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 2: But if you were if you want the fancy one. 289 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 2: But if you are dead set on getting the steak, 290 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 2: no matter what a steak, you're spending twenty extra dollars 291 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: because your floor was sixty. And there's a logical It's 292 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 2: not a lot. I think maybe it might be a 293 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: logical fallacy in some regards, but it's a it's where 294 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: you're at anchored at. And if you are an NFL 295 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: team and you are dead set, we are not going 296 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 2: to we didn't draft a quarterback and we are not 297 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: going to go with one of these retreads. A guy 298 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 2: who is a Baker Mayfield who is flamed out in 299 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: other places. We want an established player. Your minimum cost 300 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 2: is thirty five million. So when people wonder how can 301 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: Herbert make fifty three, it's because if the Chargers wanted 302 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 2: to move were like, we don't want to pay him 303 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 2: that they're not opening unless they draft a quarterback. Opening 304 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 2: up fifty three million, They're probably only opening up eighteen 305 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 2: because then they just go sign Garoppolo or car and 306 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: I know they were never moving on for from Herbert. 307 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,719 Speaker 2: The converse to that is what's happening with running backs. 308 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: And I don't know what the economic terminology for reverse 309 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: anchoring would be. But when Jonathan Taylor wants call it 310 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 2: fifteen million dollars a year, if the cults are saying 311 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 2: to themselves, well we can We can't get Jonathan Taylor, 312 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 2: but we can get seventy five percent of his production 313 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 2: for literally five percent of his cost, for seven hundred 314 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 2: grand a year via a sixth round draft pick. That 315 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: then is gonna work against all of these guys. So 316 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: in a weird way, and I tried to talk about 317 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 2: this last week, I just find this, and again I 318 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 2: hope the audience is interested in this. I find this 319 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:03,479 Speaker 2: type of stuff in a hard caps fascinating. The best 320 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,239 Speaker 2: thing that could happen to running backs is there to 321 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 2: be fewer good ones, and the worst thing that could 322 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 2: happen to quarterbacks is for there to be more competency. 323 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: And I do think both of those things are coming, 324 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 2: because again, if we're in a logical market, you are 325 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 2: going to have more and more of our elite young 326 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 2: athletes specializing at quarterback, and you're gonna have fewer and 327 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 2: fewer of our elite young athletes specializing at running back. 328 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 2: And the supply is gonna shift. But until it does, 329 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: the quarterback piece of the pie is just gonna get 330 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: bigger and bigger and bigger, and every other position is 331 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 2: gonna be squeezed a bit. All right. Again, I knew 332 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 2: I would spend a lot of time on that. I'm 333 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 2: fascinated by it. This is one of those times where 334 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 2: maybe I needed a co host today because one of 335 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 2: my my daughter, or my son or my wife would 336 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 2: have said that was wildly boring. But I find it fascinating, 337 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: all right. Next, Aaron Rodgers came after Sean Payton, and 338 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 2: I gave him credit for it. The producer's right who 339 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 2: asked Rodgers to be the fun beliefs. Is he a 340 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: fearless leader standing up for his guy, or just being petty? Listen, 341 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 2: I don't think the Jets are gonna have a good year. 342 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 2: I don't think Rogers is a great player anymore. I 343 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 2: do think he has handled this offseason perfectly, and I 344 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: think what he did for Nathaniel Hackett there was also 345 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: just very kind. I think Nathaniel Hackett, who had the 346 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 2: entire media flam bay him for an entire is, you know, 347 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 2: is one shot at being a head coach, then having 348 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: another head coach, a Hall of Fame maybe caliber head 349 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: coach come after him in a way you never see 350 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 2: a coach go after another coach. I think it was 351 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 2: great for him that Rogers had his back. I also 352 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 2: think that the Jets' best case scenario is fighting for 353 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: that final wildcard spot. That is also I don't think 354 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 2: the Broncos can do it, but that is their best 355 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: case scenario. And the fact that Rogers is turning the 356 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 2: screws a bit on the Broncos and adding pressure to 357 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 2: them and keeping this a story I think smart. So 358 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 2: I listen, I don't Rogers talked to Peter King. Evidently 359 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,479 Speaker 2: I haven't read the whole article, but he said that, 360 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 2: you know, going into the darkness for a treat. He 361 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 2: really was good planning on retiring. I don't buy that. 362 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 2: There's a lot of Rogers stuff Rogers tries to sell 363 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 2: that I don't buy. But I think this was a 364 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 2: good move. I think Sean Payton made a massive error. 365 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 2: I also think Sean Payton clearly is one of the 366 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 2: most well liked coaches amongst media of anybody, because he 367 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 2: got mostly a pass for this when I thought it 368 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: was a massive unforced error that truly ratcheted up the 369 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 2: pressure and expectations on a Broncos team that, aside from 370 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 2: the obvious upgrade it head coach, the biggest thing they 371 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 2: had going for them this year was they didn't have 372 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 2: the pressure and expectations they had last year. So I 373 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 2: think Peyton really screwed up here. I think Rogers did 374 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 2: a good thing all right. Lastly, to Joe Burrow. Last week, 375 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow said he wasn't in a rush to sign 376 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 2: an extension. Then he suffered a calf injury at practice, 377 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 2: going to keep him out several weeks. He's had a 378 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: bunch of injuries already. Should the Bengals hesitate the signer 379 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 2: of the biggest the NFL history. Absolutely not his second 380 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: best quarterback in football. We just talked to quarterback salaries. 381 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 2: He's going to get the biggest quarterback contract ever. He 382 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 2: was going to get it with or without the injury. 383 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 2: I have one major concern for Burrow and then one 384 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 2: criticism of the Bengals. The major concern for Burrow is 385 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 2: not that the calf injury is gonna turn into an 386 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 2: achilles injury or the calf injury is going to turn 387 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 2: into some months long saga. My concern for Burrow is 388 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 2: if I would not let him take the field in 389 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: the regular season until he is at one hundred percent 390 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 2: from a mobility perspective. Their offensive line is still a 391 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: work in progress, and if he can't protect himself fully 392 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 2: when to open their season, they have Miles Garrett followed 393 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 2: by that Baltimore front, followed by Aaron Donald and the Rams, 394 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: and the Rams aren't gonna meaning good, but Aaron Donald's awesome, 395 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: followed by Jeffrey Simmons and the Titans. You can't have 396 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 2: Burrow compromised to where he can't protect himself. That's my 397 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 2: concern for the Bengals. My criticism of the Bengals is 398 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 2: this Joe Burrow had a sleeve on that calf. That 399 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: means there was some level of tenderness or aggravation before 400 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 2: he suffered the injury. Why was he out there in 401 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 2: the first week of training camp with any type of 402 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 2: nick or cut or soft tissue aggravation that could flare 403 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: up and keep him out several weeks? Why would you 404 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 2: not tell him he is sitting Last year, he sat 405 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: like he's mispart of camp throughout his career. Why would 406 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 2: you have him out there that part? I flatly do 407 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 2: not understand. We play a little nick chat GPT next, 408 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 2: What's right? 409 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 4: This episode is brought to you by Unstoppable.

All right, 436 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 2: before we get to the game we're gonna play Jonathan 437 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 2: Taylor news. Jonathan Taylor demanded a trade after Jim Mersay. 438 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 2: One of Jimmers says many unhinged tweets the team is 439 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 2: claiming he got hurt. He says he's fine. The producers 440 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 2: want to ask if the chief should trade for Taylor. 441 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 2: And a reminder, by the way, you guys can ask 442 00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 2: me whatever you want. We'll do that in the next day. 443 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 2: All right before, No, the Chiefs shouldn't trade for Taylor. 444 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 2: I will give you some teams that should consider it. 445 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 2: But first, this non football injury list threat by the 446 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: Colts is a dangerous game for any team to play. 447 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: So again, Jonathan Taylor is saying his back is not injured. 448 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 2: The Colts reportedly are threatening to put him on the 449 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 2: non football injury list, which would mean he does not 450 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 2: get paid while he's on it, with the belief being 451 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 2: he suffered a back injury while working out slash training 452 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 2: in the off season, but not at the Colts facility. Okay, 453 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 2: I understand the non football injury list being used for 454 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 2: and I feel terribly for the guy. But Naim Hines. 455 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 2: Naim Hines, the Bills running back kick returner, was on 456 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 2: a jet ski, got crashed into and suffered a significant injury. 457 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 2: That is the definition of a non football injury. Now 458 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 2: he makes so little money, maybe the Bills will end 459 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 2: up paying him. But that's what the thing exists for. 460 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 2: If a guy's out there rollerblading. I don't know if 461 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 2: people are rollerblading these days, or playing basketball or you know, 462 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 2: and gets injured, Teams don't have to pay you. But 463 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 2: the idea that you could be risking your entire salary 464 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 2: by training for professional football in the offseason if you 465 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 2: get injured. The reason I'm saying this is a dangerous 466 00:33:53,320 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 2: game is teams obviously expect demand and want players to 467 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 2: train in their own time. And if you were to 468 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 2: withhold Jonathan Taylor's salary, if I'm the Players Association, i 469 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 2: am sending out a league wide memorandum guys don't train 470 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 2: in the offseason. Do OTAs, do mini camp, do training camp. 471 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 2: But if you are risking you're the entirety of your 472 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 2: salary and your contract if you get hurt training for 473 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 2: your team, if you're not with your team, that to 474 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 2: me opens a very risky door. So there's that part 475 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 2: of it. Next part of it. I know there is 476 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 2: a belief amongst a lot of people that Jonathan Taylor, 477 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 2: no one's gonna want to trade for him because you're 478 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,919 Speaker 2: gonna have to give up a draft pick and sign 479 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 2: him to a new contract. I don't believe that's accurate. 480 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 2: I think if you trade for Jonathan Taylor, you don't 481 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,439 Speaker 2: have to sign him to a new contract. It might 482 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,959 Speaker 2: not be listen, might not be what Jonathan Taylor wants 483 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 2: to hear. But Jonathan Taylor might have enough leverage within 484 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 2: Indy to force them to give him a new contract. 485 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 2: It doesn't look like he does. He might have enough 486 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 2: leverage to force them to trade him. I'm not sure 487 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 2: if he does. I do not think Jonathan Taylor would 488 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 2: have enough leverage to force a trade and then when 489 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 2: he gets to the next team demand a new contract. 490 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 2: What I think that you could trade for him and say, listen, 491 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 2: we got you out of that situation, and we very 492 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 2: well may give you a contract after this year, but 493 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 2: we're not signing you to a new contract. Jonathan Taylor 494 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 2: is not gonna what's he gonna do? Not report, sit out, 495 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 2: the year. He's not gonna do it, and so I 496 00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 2: don't think just by trading for him, you that means 497 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 2: you have to give him a new deal. That's first 498 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 2: of all. Second of all, who should trade for him? No, 499 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 2: the chief shouldn't, I think, But Checko's good. I also 500 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 2: like Generic Prince, this undrafted kid they have, and they 501 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 2: don't need to spend resources at the running back position. 502 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 3: Now. 503 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 2: They could have drafted Jonathan Taylor and said they drafted 504 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 2: a running back and Clyde Edwards laire a few years ago. 505 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 2: That was a mistake, but it is what it is. 506 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 2: The Bengals obviously, because I think Joe Mixon is a 507 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 2: deteriorating asset. Pardon me, Son, If you really wanted to 508 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 2: go all in, the Bengals and the Chargers would be 509 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 2: two AFC teams that I think would consider saying screw it, 510 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 2: let's do it, and he would be an instant impact 511 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 2: difference maker for them if the Colts didn't want to 512 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 2: trade him. Within the AFC, the team, and I understand 513 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 2: this team has spent I think consecutive or at least 514 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 2: two of the last three drafts they've spent second round 515 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 2: picks on running Uh yeah, the last two. But they're 516 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 2: both injured right now. And that's Seattle. I know Kenneth 517 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 2: Walker's really good, but he's hurt. Zach Charbona their draft 518 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 2: pick from this year in the second round. He's hurt. 519 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 2: It would be a crazy use of resources. But they 520 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 2: have a very good I think it will be very 521 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 2: good young defense. They have Gino on a cheap deal. 522 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 2: They you know, Pete Carroll loves to run the ball. 523 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:41,359 Speaker 2: I I wonder if, and I also wonder almost if 524 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 2: they could trade what is Zach Charboney's injury. Now, I'm 525 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 2: really you know, kind of going full fantasy GM here, 526 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 2: but let me so Zach Charbonay's injury, uh, just shoulder discomfort. 527 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 2: So I wonder if instead of trading draft picks, you 528 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,720 Speaker 2: could trade this running back you took in the second 529 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 2: round two Indy cost controlled for the next four years 530 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 2: for them for Jonathan Taylor Kenneth Walker's week to week 531 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 2: with his groin injury. I would keep an eye on that. 532 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 2: I could see this Seahawks and John Schneider doing that 533 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 2: all right time for our game. Now, Nick GPT. Where 534 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 2: I essentially make sense of the senseless is what they say. Sorry, 535 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott was approached twice about starring in 536 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 2: season two of Quarterback, but the clent saying, I get 537 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 2: enough media, this team gets enough coverage. Nick GPT, Why 538 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 2: did Dak really say no? I think that's right. I 539 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 2: actually buy him on that. I also think that it 540 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 2: is a legitimate commitment to let these guys mic you 541 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 2: up and follow you around all year. I also think 542 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 2: that Mahomes, that's that's a tough act to follow. Man. 543 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 2: He's such a badass in that series and they win 544 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 2: the super Bowl. Now, it doesn't surprise me that Burrow 545 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 2: might do it because Burrow's got the you know a. 546 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 2: He probably thinks they don't get enough coverage. B Burrow 547 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 2: has that level of confidence and he'll be awesome with it. 548 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 2: But I think that's a smart call by Deck by Deck. 549 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 2: All right, Now to the Bills. The Bills are so 550 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 2: inspired by your banners they decided to hang one of 551 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 2: their own. Talk about life imitating art. Sean McDermott hung 552 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 2: a banner of the Lombardi saying it's a daily reminder 553 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 2: of what we're here to do do. Nick GBD, does 554 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 2: this compute? I mean, this is farcical. A team that 555 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 2: has never won the Lombardi Trophy has a giant banner. 556 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 2: You couldn't script this better for me of a Lombardi 557 00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 2: Trophy in their practice facility to try to inspire hear them. 558 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 2: I suppose this is once again the Bills buying into 559 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 2: the hype prematurely and setting themselves up for a rough season. 560 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 2: I am a seller on the Bills. This year. They 561 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 2: did an upgrade wide receiver two. They're gonna ask Josh 562 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 2: to run less, which is smart but will hurt their offense. 563 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 2: They lost Leslie Frasier. Diggs is pissed about something we 564 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 2: still don't totally understand. The division is tougher, and they're 565 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 2: talking Lombardi Trophies when they need to be talking about 566 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 2: finding a way to get out of Round two. Next 567 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 2: to Dame, the NBA sent out a memo basically saying, hey, 568 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 2: agents and players, don't do what Dame is doing. What's 569 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 2: the NBA actually saying. I think what the NBA is 570 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 2: actually saying, and I actually back the NBA up on 571 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 2: this is we do not like, nor do we endorse 572 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 2: the trend. Pardon me, I had to take a sip 573 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 2: of my delicious Starbucks coffee of NBA guys double dipping, 574 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 2: and by double dipping, I mean getting the security of 575 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 2: the contract extension with their own team and then also 576 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 2: specifically demanding trades now And I haven't heard other people 577 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 2: make this point because there is the obvious criticism of 578 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 2: guys taking a contract extension then demanding a trade. It 579 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 2: is actually better for their own their previous teams that 580 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 2: they do that rather than just leave in free agency. 581 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 2: It would have been better for the Thunder if Durant 582 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,320 Speaker 2: had signed an extension and then demanded to each traded 583 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 2: to Golden State or traded at all. It would have 584 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 2: been better for the Cavs if Lebron had signed an 585 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 2: extension and then demanded to be traded, then just leaving 586 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 2: for nothing. The problem is if, and what I think 587 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 2: the NBA is really trying to avoid, is guys taking 588 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 2: the extension and then demanding to be traded to a 589 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 2: specific place. But again, it's better than guys just leaving 590 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 2: out right in free agency for the returning teams, but 591 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 2: the specific team demands, which handcuffs you. That obviously is 592 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 2: not better for those teams because they can't build out 593 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 2: the team the way they want to, all right to 594 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,840 Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey. After punching a couple of teammates, Kelsey tweeted, 595 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 2: he's got to be a better teammate and leader. Nick GBT, 596 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 2: what is Kelsey actually saying? I believe he's actually saying that. 597 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 2: I disagree with him now. I don't want to punching teammates, 598 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 2: most notably because he could hurt his hand. And is this, Nick, 599 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 2: Are you being a hypocrite because of how you felt 600 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 2: about Draymond? No, of course not. Guys. Hittings another teammate 601 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 2: in the helmet in football training camp is not at 602 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 2: all the same as cold cocking your teammate and damn 603 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 2: near breaking his jaw at basketball training camp. Not the 604 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 2: same at all. The reason I don't mind it is 605 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 2: if anyone was worried that Kelsey hosting SNL, you know, 606 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 2: potentially becoming the goat tight end, winning a second Super Bowl, 607 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 2: all of this stuff, didn't have his eye on the ball, 608 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 2: You now don't have to worry about that. The guy 609 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 2: is so fired up and so intense he's flipping out 610 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 2: in consecutive days at training camp. I'm not bothered by it. 611 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan's trainer Tim Grover attempted to end the goat 612 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 2: debate by saying, ever heard a story of anyone getting 613 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 2: robbed for a pair of brawn? Nick, gbt, is the 614 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 2: goat debate over? No, of course not. But I will say, 615 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 2: as arrogantly as it sounds, I effing told you so. 616 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 2: There has not been a take of mine in the 617 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 2: last six months that I was more roundly criticized for 618 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 2: than when I said on this show and on the 619 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:32,360 Speaker 2: TV show that by the rules of engagement that have 620 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 2: been set up by the Jordan acolytes, Jordan's ownership tenure 621 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:46,919 Speaker 2: with the Hornets, which was an unmitigated disaster, and well, 622 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 2: remind me, I'll remind myself to get back to that 623 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:54,799 Speaker 2: in a moment, by those that that should be at 624 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 2: least a small part of the goat debate in the 625 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:06,280 Speaker 2: negat column for Jordan, purely because folks have used how 626 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 2: dope his shoes are and how well they sell and 627 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:15,320 Speaker 2: the movie air and all of that as a pro 628 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 2: a slash in the pro column for him on the 629 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 2: goat debate, and folks acted like I had six heads. Oh, Nick, 630 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,320 Speaker 2: No one does that. No one talks about the sneakers 631 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 2: when it comes to the goat stuff, even though everyone 632 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 2: knows people do and have And now we have Tim 633 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:43,360 Speaker 2: Grover at a giant speech, not as a throwaway line, 634 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:48,840 Speaker 2: he said, this is the mic drop moment, like boom, 635 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 2: big joker, look at the sneakers. I told you so. 636 00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:02,399 Speaker 2: Also a lot of people. I want to be very 637 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 2: careful about this how I phrase this, but there seemed 638 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 2: to be more than a few credible reports that I 639 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 2: wish someone would, like the Wall Street Journal, would put 640 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:27,320 Speaker 2: a reporter on to really nail down. But there seemed 641 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 2: to be a lot of people in the financial services 642 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:41,840 Speaker 2: sector that believe Jordans sold the Hornets because he owed 643 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:48,839 Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars because he was one of 644 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 2: the major shorters of the game stop stock. And again 645 00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,800 Speaker 2: I have not run down that story, but I have 646 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:06,919 Speaker 2: now heard it from three different places, most recently from 647 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 2: last night, from someone who I really feel would know 648 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 2: that this is exactly what happened. And if that's true, 649 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 2: that Jordan's I mean obsessive gambling got to the point 650 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 2: to where he had to sell his basketball team. Honestly, 651 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 2: that kind of makes me like him more. It's also 652 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 2: hilarious because no one has quite explained why he sold 653 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 2: the team. Oh, Nick, he made billions. Well it wasn't 654 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 2: a yes, but he was never not going to make billions. 655 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 2: And of course those teams are only going up up 656 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 2: in valuations and they're about to have a brand new 657 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 2: television deal where they'd be worthy. And more so, the 658 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 2: timing of it was curious, and the fact that he 659 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 2: announced he was selling it before they knew whether you know, 660 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 2: they could have gotten wimby he it was announced he 661 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:20,720 Speaker 2: was selling it before the draft lottery to intriguing story 662 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 2: that I hope uh the Wall Street Journal or Fortune 663 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 2: or somebody can run down uh elon. Musk, by the way, 664 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 2: changed the X which is the new Twitter slow twitters. 665 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:42,360 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, changed the ex slogan used to be Twitter 666 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 2: to blaze your glory, Nick Gpt, What the bleep does 667 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 2: this mean? I listen. I gotta tell you I I 668 00:48:54,680 --> 00:49:02,480 Speaker 2: think Musk has done an objectively cartoonish bad job. I 669 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 2: also use Twitter as much as ever, not more, but 670 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,879 Speaker 2: my usage has not gone down. Now, my enjoyment of it, 671 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 2: my ability to you know, check mentions is dead. There 672 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 2: are certain things that have just gotten objectively worse. But 673 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 2: as far as like the none of those threads. I 674 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 2: never signed up for Blue Sky all these things. Twitter 675 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,400 Speaker 2: has such a massive head start that, no matter how 676 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 2: personally reprehensible I find Musk to be, and I mean 677 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 2: he's out here tweeting about white genocide in South Africa, Like, 678 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 2: give me a break, buddy, I it is still an 679 00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:00,920 Speaker 2: invaluable resource for me. And it has not broken. I 680 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 2: know a lot of people were like, oh, it's gonna break. 681 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 2: They fired all the engineers, and it is clunkier, and 682 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 2: there have been days it has been down. But I 683 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,920 Speaker 2: don't care what they call it as long as it's 684 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 2: still the place that has Joe Burrow. You know, I 685 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:21,240 Speaker 2: saw that Joe Burrow suffered a calf injury minutes after 686 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 2: it happened, before it was on any television network. It 687 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 2: was while it was live on TV, and we had 688 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 2: it on the show immediately, and it was because of Twitter. 689 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 2: Still super useful, all right. Lastly, the producer saw a 690 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,919 Speaker 2: very vague tweet from Demonse the other day that read, 691 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:42,400 Speaker 2: there's apparently this podcast on YouTube that just spreads misinformation 692 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,880 Speaker 2: about me, Nick Gpt. Who could Demanse be talking about. 693 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 2: I think he's almost assuredly talking about us, maybe his 694 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 2: sister and I when we were doing the ghost conversation. 695 00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 2: But Demonse, if you see this, it would I I 696 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:08,320 Speaker 2: really pray he's talking about a different podcast. I should 697 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 2: text him. I'm gonna text him now and maybe he'll respond. 698 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:22,840 Speaker 2: Hold On, Demanse, were we the podcast you were tweeting about? 699 00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 2: Because it would thrill me if it's a different podcast. 700 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 2: If Demand has gotten big enough that there is a 701 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 2: podcast other than this one that's like, hey, you know 702 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 2: the Demandse guy from What's Right, and then they're spreading 703 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 2: lies about him. I know it would be a pain 704 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 2: in the ass and stressful for him, but that would 705 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,240 Speaker 2: be a badge of honor. There's a there in fact, 706 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 2: hold on, let me see if I can find it. 707 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:55,920 Speaker 2: Someone sent me Nick hold on a YouTube video. Let 708 00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,479 Speaker 2: me see if I can oh here it is. There's 709 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 2: a YouTube video right now that has seventy five thousand 710 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:10,799 Speaker 2: views from a guy that seems to take himself very seriously, 711 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:16,839 Speaker 2: that claims it's twenty one minutes long to be an 712 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 2: expose that I'm a clutch sports client like he's uncovered it, 713 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 2: which again is something I have talked about publicly for 714 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,959 Speaker 2: two years since it's been true. That's first of all. 715 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 2: Second of all, is such a backwards understanding of that. 716 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 2: People are like, oh, how can you take Nick's lebron 717 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:49,239 Speaker 2: take seriously when Clutch is paying them? Guys, your agents 718 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:56,040 Speaker 2: don't pay you, You pay them, and I am not. I. 719 00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:01,800 Speaker 2: I am repped by UTA, and my agent is Ryan Hayden, 720 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:07,799 Speaker 2: who's excellent. UTA and Clutt Clutch are partners. Rich is 721 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,120 Speaker 2: on the board of UTA, and Rich is the one, 722 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 2: Rich Paul of Clutch Sports who hooked me up with 723 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 2: Ryan Hayden, And that's who I work with. That's kind 724 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,759 Speaker 2: that's how the business works or whatever. Rich isn't negotiating 725 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 2: my contracts. Have I ever bounced business stuff off of Rich? 726 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 2: Of course he's brilliant on that stuff. Yeah. Uh, but 727 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:35,439 Speaker 2: they don't pay me. I pay them. If anything, Rich 728 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 2: and them should be out there talking about how I'm 729 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,879 Speaker 2: the goat, not the other way around. Quick break right back, 730 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 2: answer your questions? What's right? All right? Welcome back in 731 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 2: what's right with Nick? Right? Let's answer some fan questions. 732 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:52,399 Speaker 3: Uh. 733 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 2: Producer Dan asks who's the more incompetent owner, MJ or Elon. 734 00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,440 Speaker 2: It's MJ. It's not even close. Elon's a pain in 735 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,839 Speaker 2: the ass, but he has he can't say he's the 736 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 2: worst in modern history in his business. And Jordan was 737 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 2: the as far as on court performance, the worst owner 738 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 2: of the twenty first century. It's not even close. Jerk 739 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,360 Speaker 2: Nlow asks, do you think any current quarterback will finish 740 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:20,960 Speaker 2: their career with more than two Super Bowls? Aside from Mahomes, No, 741 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 2: three plus two quarterbacks at the same time winning three plus. No, 742 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:35,279 Speaker 2: I don't. It's never happened. I mean, Bradshaw won four 743 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:40,840 Speaker 2: in the seventies, Montana won four in the eighties, Aikmn 744 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 2: won three in the nineties. Brady won six over a 745 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 2: twenty year stretch. No one over you know in those 746 00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:54,880 Speaker 2: periods got more than two. No, I absolutely don't. Jose 747 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,400 Speaker 2: Castro says, do you think Alcarez should be favored in 748 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,359 Speaker 2: the US Open over Djokovic? I told you you guys, 749 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 2: I'm becking him in every major from for now until 750 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. Autcarez is gonna be my pick to 751 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 2: win every major, and I'll win more money than I'll lose. 752 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 2: Tyler Vaughan says, let's say you could control the chief's destiny, 753 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 2: what would you prefer this season they go undefeated and 754 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:21,080 Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl, or they have the NFL's first 755 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 2: three peat but never consecutive Super Bowls afterwards. Well, I'm 756 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 2: gonna listen the I don't totally understand the second part 757 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 2: of that question. They get a three peat but never consecutive. 758 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:39,280 Speaker 2: Let's just what would I like? More undefeated this year 759 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 2: and win the Super Bowl and don't win next year, 760 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:52,840 Speaker 2: or they three pat but don't go undefeated in either season. 761 00:55:55,520 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 2: I would prefer the three peat for two reasons. One is, 762 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:07,720 Speaker 2: I think it's harder to duplicate. We have seen seen 763 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 2: teams come closer to undefeated than we've seen to three peating. 764 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 2: And two is I I think it would be good. 765 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 2: I think it would be a cooler carrot to dangle 766 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 2: out there for every individual season thereafter, let's try to 767 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 2: go undefeated. As opposed if they were to go undefeated, 768 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,759 Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl and then lose next year, you 769 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 2: can't really dangle the three peak carrot because that's a 770 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:45,440 Speaker 2: multi season, you know, objective. If they go if they 771 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 2: were to three peat, you would still every year be 772 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 2: able to say, what have we not done? We're not 773 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 2: we haven't gone undefeated. Nick, Are you getting ahead of 774 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 2: yourself done on this stuff? Absolutely not. It's the greatest 775 00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,320 Speaker 2: player ever and a guy who's gonna be one of 776 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 2: the three greatest coaches ever. No, I'm not getting out 777 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,839 Speaker 2: of myself. This guy says, Oh, no, Nick is a 778 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 2: Caramel pronouncer. I don't know Carmel Caramel. I don't know 779 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,080 Speaker 2: there's an a. There's two ways. I mean, seems like 780 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:16,520 Speaker 2: it's caramel. Shelton Johnson says, why did you give Trevor 781 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,280 Speaker 2: a pass when he had a bad coaching staff but 782 00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,479 Speaker 2: not justin fields? When he had a coach you didn't 783 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 2: believe in him? And Matt Nagy. I'm not anti justin. 784 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:33,280 Speaker 3: Fields, the the the the I'm flatle not anti justin fields. 785 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,480 Speaker 2: I'm not arguing that justin fields isn't gonna be really good. 786 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 2: But for the record, Trevor had one of the worst 787 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 2: coaching staffs in NFL history, Matt Nagy is a pretty 788 00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 2: good quarterbacks coach, and Trevor's just flatly better than justin fields. 789 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 2: But I justin fields might end up being awesome. We 790 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 2: haven't seen it yet. We have seen it already from 791 00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:03,600 Speaker 2: Trevor just said. We found the podcast shading Demonse. Wait, 792 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 2: don't put it, don't do it publicly. Wait, so it's 793 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:10,840 Speaker 2: actually not us that he's talking about.
