<v Speaker 2>Hey, welcome in episode one sixty eight. What's right with

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Nick Wright writing solo again today? And you know what,

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 2>I think my little sign is a little crooked, So

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna fix that as we get going solo today.

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, today's episode is brought to you

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>by Starbucks Ready to Drink Coffee. Tune into moments that

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>matter with the uplifting boost of Starbucks Mocha for Refaccino

<v Speaker 2>chilled coffee drink available now online or wherever you buy

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 2>your groceries. All right, we'll get right into it today.

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 2>We have a ton to do. Here is what has

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 2>missed the cut for today's show. Not on today's show,

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Bronnie back home and recovering. That is the second usc

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 2>basketball player to have this happen, to practice cardiac arrest

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>and seemingly be fine. We'll see what it means for

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Bronnie's career. But the fact of the matter is that

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Bronni was it was is back home. The other player

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 2>ended up playing later in the season, so God bless

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>him in the family. Patrick Beverly saying the Clippers would

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 2>have won the title if the bubble didn't happen. It's

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>just ridiculous, and the staff trawling me for my incorrect

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>tweet about Errol's Spence Junior and the Crawford fight. Yeah, listen,

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>we can spend a minute on that. That way. Nobody

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.359
<v Speaker 2>saw that coming. You might have picked Crawford to win.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>And I managed to make some money on the fight anyway,

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 2>because I kind of bets all over the place on it.

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 2>But the fact of the matter is nobody thought it

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>was going that Errol Spence Junior was gonna look out

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>of his league. And if you're not a big fight

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>fan and you're not familiar with him, he is a

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 2>great fighter, a great fighter was twenty nine to zero,

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 2>had never been knocked down, and Bud Crawford maim made

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>him look like a glass joe. It was startling to

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 2>see that. I do hope they fight again, even though

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Errol would win. If he were to

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>win in the rematch in December, it would set up

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>an all time trilogy. But he obviously was not prepared

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>for what Terence Crawford had ready for him. Who's now

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 2>the first man ever to be the undisputed four belt

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 2>champion in two different weight classes and became an all

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 2>timer with that performance. All Right, we're gonna start the

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 2>show with something I did not watch live, but I

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 2>did get up this morning to watch having DVRD it,

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>and that is the debacle that was the US women's

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 2>national team game against Portugal. It's a zero zero draw.

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>They do by the skin of their teeth advance to

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 2>the knockout round. Some context here, and I understand it's

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 2>different players, it's different here as all of it. But

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>the US women's national team going into this match was

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>historically eleven to zero against Portugal, having outscored them thirty

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>nine to nothing. This was a game that the women's

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 2>national team. If they didn't win, they were going home,

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 2>and in stoppage time in the ninetieth minute, or I

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>guess in the ninety plus minute, apologize for the buzzing.

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Portugal should have won. They had a half breakaway shot

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 2>that hit the post.

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 3>It is.

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, the US is lucky to be advancing now. They

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:40.679
<v Speaker 2>are advancing with Rose Lavelle being out for their round

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 2>of sixteen game, which probably will come against Sweden. If

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>you're watching this live, we don't know who they're playing.

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 2>If you're watching this delayed, you know sometime later in

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 2>the week we will know who they're playing. But the

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 2>odds are they're going to be playing Sweden. It would

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>take some real mayhem in Sweden's group for Sweden not

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>to win their group, and the US didn't win their group.

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 2>The Netherlands did. The Netherlands was up five to nothing

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 2>on Vietnam at halftime. I don't even know what the

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 2>final score of that game was. They annihilated them and

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>for the first time in this tournament, the US are

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 2>not favored to win the Cup. I think they'll be

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 2>favored in the match against Sweden. I don't know that

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>they deserve to be Without rose level, with the team

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 2>showing really no offensive punch this entire tournament, it hasn't

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 2>looked good. Now you can argue this was the wake

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.679
<v Speaker 2>up call they needed. They're going to be a different team.

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:51.480
<v Speaker 2>They're going to play more to form in the knockout stage,

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 2>but there has not been a moment this tournament even

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>that what looked like a fine three to zero victory

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 2>against Vietnam where this Seas has looked like a champion

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>just hasn't. And I am not quite sophisticated enough, certainly

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.280
<v Speaker 2>on the women's soccer side of things, to be able

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 2>to pillory the coach, but the folks who do seem

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 2>to follow this very closely have been uninspired with the coach.

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>I know Carly Lloyd was very angry that after the

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 2>game this morning the women were celebrating and taking pictures

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.919
<v Speaker 2>with fans. I have less of an issue with that,

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 2>but that set that aside. The issue is they have

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 2>not played well and now with the latest odds that

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:48.479
<v Speaker 2>I see, England and Spain are co favorites to win

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 2>the Cup with the US right behind them after the

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 2>US was significant favorites heading into the tournament, so they

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>flatly need to play better. All right. Next, so this

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 2>says terrible QB tiers. I don't know that I think

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 2>these QB tiers are terrible, but I want to spend

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 2>some significant time on this for a number of reasons.

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>So one of the best things the Athletic and Mike

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Sando do is they get fifty NFL people. If you will,

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 2>it is thirty the fifty league insiders, which are ten

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 2>head coaches, fifteen coordinators, ten executives, four quarterbacks I'm sorry,

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 2>four quarterback coaches, and a handful of folks involved in

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>coaching and analytics. To rank the quarterbacks in the league

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 2>by tier, you have tier one, two, three, four, five,

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 2>And you guys know, I'm a big fan of tiering

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 2>things rather than just doing flat rankings, and the very

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 2>top makes sense. Patrick mahomes number one with fifty first

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 2>place votes. Number two Joe Burrow with forty nine first

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 2>place votes. I actually, you know, I'd be interested to

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 2>see the person that said Joe Burrow was not a

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Tier one quarterback. That to me is wish casting. He's

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 2>clearly a Tier one quarterback. It gets a little harrier

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 2>after that. So Josh Allen got forty four Tier one votes.

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I probably would have voted Josh Allen

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Tier one. Now I wouldn't have him as the third

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 2>best quarterback in football, but he is. Even despite the

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:48.959
<v Speaker 2>roller coaster nature of him and the almost his almost

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 2>frenetic style of play, He's a Tier one quarterback because

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 2>the upside's so high. Rogers comes in next. He had

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 2>thirty Tier one votes and indeed Tier two votes. Rogers

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 2>not a Tier one quarterback, flatly, and the cliff that

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 2>so many folks myself included Max Kellerman and myself maybe

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 2>most famously talked about Brady falling off that he never

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>really fell off. I wonder if Rogers fell off it

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 2>last year. Wild's brought this point up to me, and

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:31.119
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a smart one and for Rogers,

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 2>folks try to convince themselves, oh no, But he turned

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 2>it on at the end of last year. He flatly

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:44.439
<v Speaker 2>did not Rogers at the end of last year when

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 2>they went on that winning streak, he did not play better.

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 2>His numbers actually were worse when they went four and

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 2>one down the stretch. Rogers in those five games had

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:02.839
<v Speaker 2>two hundred yards per game PAS, five total passing touchdowns,

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:07.679
<v Speaker 2>three interceptions, and an eighty six passer rating. He was

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 2>not better. They won those games because they played the Bears,

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 2>who were on a ten game losing streak, the Rams,

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 2>who were a disaster. They squeaked by against Miami. That

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>was the game that we couldn't figure out how Tua

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 2>was so awful in the second half with three picks.

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Then we found out he had suffered another concussion during

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 2>that game, and Minnesota they annihilated. Rogers threw one hundred

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 2>and fifteen for one hundred and fifty nine yards that game.

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota turned the ball over four times, and then in

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 2>their final game of the year at home in Lambeau,

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Rogers was awful. They scored sixteen points and his final

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.199
<v Speaker 2>throw as a Packer was a terrible duck, a hail

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>mary when he didn't have to throw a hail mary,

0:10:55.440 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>which made it three straight years. Rogers season ended at

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 2>home when he couldn't make the play the NFC title

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 2>game against Brady. He could have run, he didn't. They

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>don't get the ball back. The next year ten ten

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 2>at home against the Niners, when the Niners offense doesn't

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>score a point the entire game, he just throws hail

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 2>mary after hail Mary on that three and out drive

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 2>to Devonte Adams. I think it was Lazardi had wide

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 2>open over the middle when they only needed a field goal.

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.199
<v Speaker 2>They then lose and then at home to the Lions

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>in a playoff game. Rogers is not a top four

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 2>quarterback anymore, and he's going the idea that the only

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 2>precedent for a quarterback at his age getting better is Brady,

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 2>and we have dreams of data that Rogers is not Brady.

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 2>The next Tier one quarterback is Herbert. He's the last

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Tier one quarterback. He had twenty nine Tier one votes

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 2>and twenty one Tier two votes. I'm okay with that.

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 2>I think having Herbert, though ahead of Jalen Hurts and

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 2>the Prince is incorrect. I like Herbert. The Chargers scare

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:22.080
<v Speaker 2>the hell out of me. I do think that there

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 2>is a level of romanticism of his arm talent and

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 2>his potential when we have not yet seen him take

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.319
<v Speaker 2>the major leap we expected him to take between year

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 2>one and year two, or certainly year two and year three,

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>when year three is probably his worst year. I know

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 2>he was banged up all year. I know they had injuries.

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a touch overrated Jalen Hurts. We just

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 2>showed you guys some of the rankings. Jalen Hurts comeings

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 2>in next. He had ten Tier one votes, thirty eight

0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Tier two votes, and two who Tier three votes. That's

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 2>disrespectful to what the guy's accomplished. He am I dead

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 2>certain Jalen Hurts is it can't miss ten year awesome quarterback? No?

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>But does he have the track is he building the

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:22.199
<v Speaker 2>track record of it? Is his arrow continually pointing up unquestionably?

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I think he should have been a Tier one guy.

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Lamar comes in next. Lamar had eight Tier one votes,

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven Tier two votes, and five Tier three votes.

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that's correct. I think Lamar is right beneath

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the Tier one quarterbacks, and I will believe that until

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 2>he becomes more consistent in the layups. Then there's the

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Prince Trevor. He had three Tier one votes, thirty three

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Tier two votes, and fourteen Tier three votes. If you

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 2>think Peyton Manning two point zero is a Tier three quarterback,

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 2>you're just not paying attention. The guy is a future,

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 2>if not current superstar. He might win League MVP this year.

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.439
<v Speaker 2>He and Ridley are going to be dynamic. He had

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 2>the second most playoff touchdowns of anyone in the league

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 2>last year. He was spectacular in the second half of

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 2>the season. You almost have to throw out year one

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 2>under urban Meyer. I think Trevor's underrated, but don't listen

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 2>to me. I've only been right about him and the

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Jags every step of the way. Dak is number nine,

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 2>which is about right. He had one Tier one vote,

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 2>thirty six Tier two votes, and thirteen Tier three votes.

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 2>And then there's Matt Stafford at number ten, and I'm

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 2>not going to go through all the voting on everyone else.

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I actually wanted to talk about this for this is

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 2>actually kind of a commentary on running back pay. So

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 2>just follow me down this path. Because Stafford is ten,

0:14:55.160 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Deshaun Watson is eleven, Kurk Cousins twelve, and then Tier

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 2>three Kyler Carr, goff Russ Tua, who, while I've been

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 2>down on him, that's too low for Tua, Jimmy g eighteen,

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Jones nineteen, Geno twenty, Justin Fields, who has the

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>variance for him has to be the most Tannehill twenty two,

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Mac Jones twenty three. Okay, so here's why I wanted

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 2>to talk about this you want to know why Daniel Jones,

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 2>who you know, is barely a top twenty quarterback by

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 2>this ranking, and I think that's a fair ranking. I

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 2>think Daniel Jones when you incorporate his athleticism, his arm talent,

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 2>and then the flip side, the limited nature of his accuracy,

0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 2>the fact that if you ask him to make time

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 2>throws is gonna turn the ball over. He's just barely

0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 2>in the top twenty. And I think Gino's a little

0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 2>underrated there, but that's fine. This is why quarterbacks are

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna just take up a bigger and bigger percentage of

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 2>the salary gap for the near future, until we are

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 2>able to have a level of competence from the below

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 2>average quarterbacks that currently does not exist. The fact of

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 2>the matter is that there are not twenty human beings

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 2>alive right now who can play the quarterback position better

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 2>than Daniel Jones, and Daniel Jones is barely competent at

0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 2>it that Ryan Tannehill is firmly in the top twenty

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:06.199
<v Speaker 2>five this listen. I didn't take economics in high school.

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not or in college either. I'm not a stock

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:18.639
<v Speaker 2>sky where you talk about market forces. But it doesn't

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to be John Nash to understand that.

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Right now, the best thing going for good but not

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 2>great quarterbacks is the fact that the cliff you fall

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 2>off from the average to the incompetent is steep and sudden,

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 2>and your team cannot function with the incompetent ones. Now,

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 2>everyone beneath Jones isn't destined to be incompetent. You have fields,

0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 2>you have picket, you have purty, you have love, You

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of young guys who maybe one day

0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 2>will be good. But there may exist a world in

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 2>fifteen years where, because quarterback training becomes so specialized, and

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:23.680
<v Speaker 2>because seven on seven becomes so ubiquitous, and because high

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 2>school and college teams start throwing the ball more and

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:35.240
<v Speaker 2>more and more, that there is a surplus of mediocre quarterbacks.

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:41.200
<v Speaker 2>The moment that happens, the NFL salary structure will turn

0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 2>on its head. And what I mean by that is,

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 2>if we ever get to a place where there are

0:18:51.760 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 2>sixty Ryan Tannehill Mac Jones level quarterbacks, then the Daniel

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Joneses of the world stop getting paid, Jimmy G's of

0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 2>the world stop Derek Carr's stop getting paid. It's what's

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:20.680
<v Speaker 2>happened with running backs because there's two hundred potential Isaiah

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:27.919
<v Speaker 2>Pacheco's you can't justify paying the good but not great ones.

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:29.640
<v Speaker 2>And even the great ones are having a hard time

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 2>really getting paid. And so I hope this is I'm

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 2>making this clear to the audience right now. When you

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 2>see Justin Herbert makes fifty three million dollars a year

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 2>and you're about to see Burrow make fifty five million,

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 2>you have to recognize, though, that fifty three million is

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:07.200
<v Speaker 2>really only about thirteen to fifteen million, because forty million

0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:14.399
<v Speaker 2>is the anchored cost of competence. And so you're if

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you if you don't have a quarterback on a rookie

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:21.600
<v Speaker 2>deal and you want a competent quarterback, maybe you can

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.439
<v Speaker 2>say the anchored cost is what car makes, so not

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.760
<v Speaker 2>what Daniel Jones makes. So car, Derek Carr, what does

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.920
<v Speaker 2>he make? Thirty five? He got four? No, he got

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean he got four for one fifty. Now that's

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 2>it's really three for one hundred, because that last year

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 2>is a fifty million dollar year. So yeah, call the

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 2>anchored cost thirty five right now, the price to get

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 2>in the room of a non rookie contract competent quarterback

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 2>is thirty five million. So justin Herbert doesn't really cast

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 2>lost you fifty three, he costs you eighteen and when

0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:11.879
<v Speaker 2>And I know that sounds counterintuitive, but the only comp

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I can give you is, and I'm not the first

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:17.159
<v Speaker 2>person to use this example, but if you go to

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 2>a fancy steakhouse and you've decided I'm getting a steak.

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 2>If the cheapest steak is sixty dollars and the fancy

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:37.919
<v Speaker 2>steak is eighty dollars, you're yes, you are spending eighty dollars.

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 2>But if you were if you want the fancy one.

0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 2>But if you are dead set on getting the steak,

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:48.640
<v Speaker 2>no matter what a steak, you're spending twenty extra dollars

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 2>because your floor was sixty. And there's a logical It's

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 2>not a lot. I think maybe it might be a

0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:59.680
<v Speaker 2>logical fallacy in some regards, but it's a it's where

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:04.720
<v Speaker 2>you're at anchored at. And if you are an NFL

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 2>team and you are dead set, we are not going

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 2>to we didn't draft a quarterback and we are not

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:19.760
<v Speaker 2>going to go with one of these retreads. A guy

0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 2>who is a Baker Mayfield who is flamed out in

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 2>other places. We want an established player. Your minimum cost

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:36.720
<v Speaker 2>is thirty five million. So when people wonder how can

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Herbert make fifty three, it's because if the Chargers wanted

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:45.000
<v Speaker 2>to move were like, we don't want to pay him

0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:48.399
<v Speaker 2>that they're not opening unless they draft a quarterback. Opening

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 2>up fifty three million, They're probably only opening up eighteen

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.679
<v Speaker 2>because then they just go sign Garoppolo or car and

0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I know they were never moving on for from Herbert.

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.719
<v Speaker 2>The converse to that is what's happening with running backs.

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:07.520
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know what the economic terminology for reverse

0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 2>anchoring would be. But when Jonathan Taylor wants call it

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:21.159
<v Speaker 2>fifteen million dollars a year, if the cults are saying

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:25.640
<v Speaker 2>to themselves, well we can We can't get Jonathan Taylor,

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:29.640
<v Speaker 2>but we can get seventy five percent of his production

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:40.120
<v Speaker 2>for literally five percent of his cost, for seven hundred

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:45.440
<v Speaker 2>grand a year via a sixth round draft pick. That

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 2>then is gonna work against all of these guys. So

0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:52.240
<v Speaker 2>in a weird way, and I tried to talk about

0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 2>this last week, I just find this, and again I

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:57.679
<v Speaker 2>hope the audience is interested in this. I find this

0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:03.479
<v Speaker 2>type of stuff in a hard caps fascinating. The best

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:06.239
<v Speaker 2>thing that could happen to running backs is there to

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 2>be fewer good ones, and the worst thing that could

0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:13.680
<v Speaker 2>happen to quarterbacks is for there to be more competency.

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:18.000
<v Speaker 2>And I do think both of those things are coming,

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 2>because again, if we're in a logical market, you are

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:28.640
<v Speaker 2>going to have more and more of our elite young

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:33.680
<v Speaker 2>athletes specializing at quarterback, and you're gonna have fewer and

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:37.920
<v Speaker 2>fewer of our elite young athletes specializing at running back.

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 2>And the supply is gonna shift. But until it does,

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback piece of the pie is just gonna get

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 2>bigger and bigger and bigger, and every other position is

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna be squeezed a bit. All right. Again, I knew

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>I would spend a lot of time on that. I'm

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 2>fascinated by it. This is one of those times where

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:06.159
<v Speaker 2>maybe I needed a co host today because one of

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:10.680
<v Speaker 2>my my daughter, or my son or my wife would

0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 2>have said that was wildly boring. But I find it fascinating,

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 2>all right. Next, Aaron Rodgers came after Sean Payton, and

0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I gave him credit for it. The producer's right who

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:27.879
<v Speaker 2>asked Rodgers to be the fun beliefs. Is he a

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 2>fearless leader standing up for his guy, or just being petty? Listen,

0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the Jets are gonna have a good year.

0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:38.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Rogers is a great player anymore. I

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:43.159
<v Speaker 2>do think he has handled this offseason perfectly, and I

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:46.240
<v Speaker 2>think what he did for Nathaniel Hackett there was also

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:50.400
<v Speaker 2>just very kind. I think Nathaniel Hackett, who had the

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 2>entire media flam bay him for an entire is, you know,

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 2>is one shot at being a head coach, then having

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 2>another head coach, a Hall of Fame maybe caliber head

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 2>coach come after him in a way you never see

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 2>a coach go after another coach. I think it was

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.280
<v Speaker 2>great for him that Rogers had his back. I also

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:15.159
<v Speaker 2>think that the Jets' best case scenario is fighting for

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 2>that final wildcard spot. That is also I don't think

0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:21.160
<v Speaker 2>the Broncos can do it, but that is their best

0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 2>case scenario. And the fact that Rogers is turning the

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:28.359
<v Speaker 2>screws a bit on the Broncos and adding pressure to

0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:33.159
<v Speaker 2>them and keeping this a story I think smart. So

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>I listen, I don't Rogers talked to Peter King. Evidently

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.479
<v Speaker 2>I haven't read the whole article, but he said that,

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:41.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, going into the darkness for a treat. He

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 2>really was good planning on retiring. I don't buy that.

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of Rogers stuff Rogers tries to sell

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:50.040
<v Speaker 2>that I don't buy. But I think this was a

0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:53.760
<v Speaker 2>good move. I think Sean Payton made a massive error.

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:57.919
<v Speaker 2>I also think Sean Payton clearly is one of the

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:03.399
<v Speaker 2>most well liked coaches amongst media of anybody, because he

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 2>got mostly a pass for this when I thought it

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 2>was a massive unforced error that truly ratcheted up the

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 2>pressure and expectations on a Broncos team that, aside from

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 2>the obvious upgrade it head coach, the biggest thing they

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:23.160
<v Speaker 2>had going for them this year was they didn't have

0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 2>the pressure and expectations they had last year. So I

0:27:26.040 --> 0:27:28.600
<v Speaker 2>think Peyton really screwed up here. I think Rogers did

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:32.720
<v Speaker 2>a good thing all right. Lastly, to Joe Burrow. Last week,

0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Joe Burrow said he wasn't in a rush to sign

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:37.159
<v Speaker 2>an extension. Then he suffered a calf injury at practice,

0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:39.119
<v Speaker 2>going to keep him out several weeks. He's had a

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:42.240
<v Speaker 2>bunch of injuries already. Should the Bengals hesitate the signer

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:44.359
<v Speaker 2>of the biggest the NFL history. Absolutely not his second

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 2>best quarterback in football. We just talked to quarterback salaries.

0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 2>He's going to get the biggest quarterback contract ever. He

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:55.240
<v Speaker 2>was going to get it with or without the injury.

0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I have one major concern for Burrow and then one

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:07.639
<v Speaker 2>criticism of the Bengals. The major concern for Burrow is

0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.159
<v Speaker 2>not that the calf injury is gonna turn into an

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:15.200
<v Speaker 2>achilles injury or the calf injury is going to turn

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:18.919
<v Speaker 2>into some months long saga. My concern for Burrow is

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:26.080
<v Speaker 2>if I would not let him take the field in

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the regular season until he is at one hundred percent

0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 2>from a mobility perspective. Their offensive line is still a

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 2>work in progress, and if he can't protect himself fully

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:45.920
<v Speaker 2>when to open their season, they have Miles Garrett followed

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:50.000
<v Speaker 2>by that Baltimore front, followed by Aaron Donald and the Rams,

0:28:50.040 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 2>and the Rams aren't gonna meaning good, but Aaron Donald's awesome,

0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 2>followed by Jeffrey Simmons and the Titans. You can't have

0:28:57.520 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Burrow compromised to where he can't protect himself. That's my

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:06.240
<v Speaker 2>concern for the Bengals. My criticism of the Bengals is

0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 2>this Joe Burrow had a sleeve on that calf. That

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:15.400
<v Speaker 2>means there was some level of tenderness or aggravation before

0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 2>he suffered the injury. Why was he out there in

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:24.040
<v Speaker 2>the first week of training camp with any type of

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 2>nick or cut or soft tissue aggravation that could flare

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 2>up and keep him out several weeks? Why would you

0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 2>not tell him he is sitting Last year, he sat

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 2>like he's mispart of camp throughout his career. Why would

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:47.280
<v Speaker 2>you have him out there that part? I flatly do

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:51.960
<v Speaker 2>not understand. We play a little nick chat GPT next,

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:52.880

0:31:35.320 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 2>before we get to the game we're gonna play Jonathan

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Taylor news. Jonathan Taylor demanded a trade after Jim Mersay.

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:49.320
<v Speaker 2>One of Jimmers says many unhinged tweets the team is

0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 2>claiming he got hurt. He says he's fine. The producers

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 2>want to ask if the chief should trade for Taylor.

0:31:56.600 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 2>And a reminder, by the way, you guys can ask

0:31:58.600 --> 0:31:59.959
<v Speaker 2>me whatever you want. We'll do that in the next day.

0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:03.480
<v Speaker 2>All right before, No, the Chiefs shouldn't trade for Taylor.

0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 2>I will give you some teams that should consider it.

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:13.440
<v Speaker 2>But first, this non football injury list threat by the

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Colts is a dangerous game for any team to play.

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 2>So again, Jonathan Taylor is saying his back is not injured.

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 2>The Colts reportedly are threatening to put him on the

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 2>non football injury list, which would mean he does not

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:37.120
<v Speaker 2>get paid while he's on it, with the belief being

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:43.040
<v Speaker 2>he suffered a back injury while working out slash training

0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 2>in the off season, but not at the Colts facility. Okay,

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:57.560
<v Speaker 2>I understand the non football injury list being used for

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:01.840
<v Speaker 2>and I feel terribly for the guy. But Naim Hines.

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Naim Hines, the Bills running back kick returner, was on

0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 2>a jet ski, got crashed into and suffered a significant injury.

0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 2>That is the definition of a non football injury. Now

0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 2>he makes so little money, maybe the Bills will end

0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:21.240
<v Speaker 2>up paying him. But that's what the thing exists for.

0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:24.000
<v Speaker 2>If a guy's out there rollerblading. I don't know if

0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:29.440
<v Speaker 2>people are rollerblading these days, or playing basketball or you know,

0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 2>and gets injured, Teams don't have to pay you. But

0:33:36.400 --> 0:33:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the idea that you could be risking your entire salary

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:49.480
<v Speaker 2>by training for professional football in the offseason if you

0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 2>get injured. The reason I'm saying this is a dangerous

0:33:53.320 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 2>game is teams obviously expect demand and want players to

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:04.640
<v Speaker 2>train in their own time. And if you were to

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 2>withhold Jonathan Taylor's salary, if I'm the Players Association, i

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:15.440
<v Speaker 2>am sending out a league wide memorandum guys don't train

0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:21.240
<v Speaker 2>in the offseason. Do OTAs, do mini camp, do training camp.

0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 2>But if you are risking you're the entirety of your

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 2>salary and your contract if you get hurt training for

0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:34.920
<v Speaker 2>your team, if you're not with your team, that to

0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:38.359
<v Speaker 2>me opens a very risky door. So there's that part

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 2>of it. Next part of it. I know there is

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:46.920
<v Speaker 2>a belief amongst a lot of people that Jonathan Taylor,

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:49.560
<v Speaker 2>no one's gonna want to trade for him because you're

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:51.919
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to give up a draft pick and sign

0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:55.720
<v Speaker 2>him to a new contract. I don't believe that's accurate.

0:34:57.400 --> 0:35:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I think if you trade for Jonathan Taylor, you don't

0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:03.439
<v Speaker 2>have to sign him to a new contract. It might

0:35:03.440 --> 0:35:06.959
<v Speaker 2>not be listen, might not be what Jonathan Taylor wants

0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:14.239
<v Speaker 2>to hear. But Jonathan Taylor might have enough leverage within

0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Indy to force them to give him a new contract.

0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:19.120
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't look like he does. He might have enough

0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:21.799
<v Speaker 2>leverage to force them to trade him. I'm not sure

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:26.360
<v Speaker 2>if he does. I do not think Jonathan Taylor would

0:35:26.360 --> 0:35:30.759
<v Speaker 2>have enough leverage to force a trade and then when

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:34.360
<v Speaker 2>he gets to the next team demand a new contract.

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:40.760
<v Speaker 2>What I think that you could trade for him and say, listen,

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:43.359
<v Speaker 2>we got you out of that situation, and we very

0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:46.360
<v Speaker 2>well may give you a contract after this year, but

0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:49.680
<v Speaker 2>we're not signing you to a new contract. Jonathan Taylor

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:52.960
<v Speaker 2>is not gonna what's he gonna do? Not report, sit out,

0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:55.839
<v Speaker 2>the year. He's not gonna do it, and so I

0:35:56.000 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 2>don't think just by trading for him, you that means

0:36:00.200 --> 0:36:02.239
<v Speaker 2>you have to give him a new deal. That's first

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:04.840
<v Speaker 2>of all. Second of all, who should trade for him? No,

0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:08.200
<v Speaker 2>the chief shouldn't, I think, But Checko's good. I also

0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 2>like Generic Prince, this undrafted kid they have, and they

0:36:11.960 --> 0:36:14.800
<v Speaker 2>don't need to spend resources at the running back position.

0:36:15.040 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 2>They could have drafted Jonathan Taylor and said they drafted

0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:20.239
<v Speaker 2>a running back and Clyde Edwards laire a few years ago.

0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:22.120
<v Speaker 2>That was a mistake, but it is what it is.

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:27.000
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals obviously, because I think Joe Mixon is a

0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:32.080
<v Speaker 2>deteriorating asset. Pardon me, Son, If you really wanted to

0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:35.480
<v Speaker 2>go all in, the Bengals and the Chargers would be

0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:39.759
<v Speaker 2>two AFC teams that I think would consider saying screw it,

0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:43.640
<v Speaker 2>let's do it, and he would be an instant impact

0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:47.920
<v Speaker 2>difference maker for them if the Colts didn't want to

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:51.840
<v Speaker 2>trade him. Within the AFC, the team, and I understand

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:55.759
<v Speaker 2>this team has spent I think consecutive or at least

0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:59.319
<v Speaker 2>two of the last three drafts they've spent second round

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 2>picks on running Uh yeah, the last two. But they're

0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 2>both injured right now. And that's Seattle. I know Kenneth

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Walker's really good, but he's hurt. Zach Charbona their draft

0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:17.880
<v Speaker 2>pick from this year in the second round. He's hurt.

0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:22.040
<v Speaker 2>It would be a crazy use of resources. But they

0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:24.680
<v Speaker 2>have a very good I think it will be very

0:37:24.680 --> 0:37:29.680
<v Speaker 2>good young defense. They have Gino on a cheap deal.

0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:33.080
<v Speaker 2>They you know, Pete Carroll loves to run the ball.

0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:41.359
<v Speaker 2>I I wonder if, and I also wonder almost if

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:45.239
<v Speaker 2>they could trade what is Zach Charboney's injury. Now, I'm

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:50.560
<v Speaker 2>really you know, kind of going full fantasy GM here,

0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:59.319
<v Speaker 2>but let me so Zach Charbonay's injury, uh, just shoulder discomfort.

0:37:59.800 --> 0:38:01.799
<v Speaker 2>So I wonder if instead of trading draft picks, you

0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:04.720
<v Speaker 2>could trade this running back you took in the second

0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:09.319
<v Speaker 2>round two Indy cost controlled for the next four years

0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 2>for them for Jonathan Taylor Kenneth Walker's week to week

0:38:14.640 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 2>with his groin injury. I would keep an eye on that.

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I could see this Seahawks and John Schneider doing that

0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:27.000
<v Speaker 2>all right time for our game. Now, Nick GPT. Where

0:38:27.560 --> 0:38:31.239
<v Speaker 2>I essentially make sense of the senseless is what they say. Sorry,

0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott was approached twice about starring in

0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:37.279
<v Speaker 2>season two of Quarterback, but the clent saying, I get

0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:41.000
<v Speaker 2>enough media, this team gets enough coverage. Nick GPT, Why

0:38:41.000 --> 0:38:44.160
<v Speaker 2>did Dak really say no? I think that's right. I

0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:49.799
<v Speaker 2>actually buy him on that. I also think that it

0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 2>is a legitimate commitment to let these guys mic you

0:38:54.600 --> 0:38:58.520
<v Speaker 2>up and follow you around all year. I also think

0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:05.600
<v Speaker 2>that Mahomes, that's that's a tough act to follow. Man.

0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:10.439
<v Speaker 2>He's such a badass in that series and they win

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the super Bowl. Now, it doesn't surprise me that Burrow

0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:16.920
<v Speaker 2>might do it because Burrow's got the you know a.

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:20.520
<v Speaker 2>He probably thinks they don't get enough coverage. B Burrow

0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:23.839
<v Speaker 2>has that level of confidence and he'll be awesome with it.

0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:27.200
<v Speaker 2>But I think that's a smart call by Deck by Deck.

0:39:27.760 --> 0:39:29.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, Now to the Bills. The Bills are so

0:39:29.760 --> 0:39:32.040
<v Speaker 2>inspired by your banners they decided to hang one of

0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:35.319
<v Speaker 2>their own. Talk about life imitating art. Sean McDermott hung

0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:38.000
<v Speaker 2>a banner of the Lombardi saying it's a daily reminder

0:39:38.000 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 2>of what we're here to do do. Nick GBD, does

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:46.080
<v Speaker 2>this compute? I mean, this is farcical. A team that

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:50.480
<v Speaker 2>has never won the Lombardi Trophy has a giant banner.

0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:54.799
<v Speaker 2>You couldn't script this better for me of a Lombardi

0:39:55.000 --> 0:40:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Trophy in their practice facility to try to inspire hear them.

0:40:00.520 --> 0:40:05.319
<v Speaker 2>I suppose this is once again the Bills buying into

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:09.640
<v Speaker 2>the hype prematurely and setting themselves up for a rough season.

0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 2>I am a seller on the Bills. This year. They

0:40:13.640 --> 0:40:17.000
<v Speaker 2>did an upgrade wide receiver two. They're gonna ask Josh

0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:20.040
<v Speaker 2>to run less, which is smart but will hurt their offense.

0:40:20.320 --> 0:40:23.880
<v Speaker 2>They lost Leslie Frasier. Diggs is pissed about something we

0:40:23.920 --> 0:40:28.000
<v Speaker 2>still don't totally understand. The division is tougher, and they're

0:40:28.000 --> 0:40:31.160
<v Speaker 2>talking Lombardi Trophies when they need to be talking about

0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:35.960
<v Speaker 2>finding a way to get out of Round two. Next

0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:42.120
<v Speaker 2>to Dame, the NBA sent out a memo basically saying, hey,

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:49.319
<v Speaker 2>agents and players, don't do what Dame is doing. What's

0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:53.680
<v Speaker 2>the NBA actually saying. I think what the NBA is

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:57.640
<v Speaker 2>actually saying, and I actually back the NBA up on

0:40:57.760 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 2>this is we do not like, nor do we endorse

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:07.000
<v Speaker 2>the trend. Pardon me, I had to take a sip

0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 2>of my delicious Starbucks coffee of NBA guys double dipping,

0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:19.040
<v Speaker 2>and by double dipping, I mean getting the security of

0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the contract extension with their own team and then also

0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:32.440
<v Speaker 2>specifically demanding trades now And I haven't heard other people

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:36.680
<v Speaker 2>make this point because there is the obvious criticism of

0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:41.960
<v Speaker 2>guys taking a contract extension then demanding a trade. It

0:41:42.160 --> 0:41:47.520
<v Speaker 2>is actually better for their own their previous teams that

0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:53.880
<v Speaker 2>they do that rather than just leave in free agency.

0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:57.560
<v Speaker 2>It would have been better for the Thunder if Durant

0:41:57.600 --> 0:42:00.320
<v Speaker 2>had signed an extension and then demanded to each traded

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:03.319
<v Speaker 2>to Golden State or traded at all. It would have

0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:05.600
<v Speaker 2>been better for the Cavs if Lebron had signed an

0:42:05.640 --> 0:42:09.360
<v Speaker 2>extension and then demanded to be traded, then just leaving

0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:14.640
<v Speaker 2>for nothing. The problem is if, and what I think

0:42:14.680 --> 0:42:18.120
<v Speaker 2>the NBA is really trying to avoid, is guys taking

0:42:18.160 --> 0:42:21.960
<v Speaker 2>the extension and then demanding to be traded to a

0:42:22.200 --> 0:42:31.320
<v Speaker 2>specific place. But again, it's better than guys just leaving

0:42:31.360 --> 0:42:37.360
<v Speaker 2>out right in free agency for the returning teams, but

0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:41.400
<v Speaker 2>the specific team demands, which handcuffs you. That obviously is

0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 2>not better for those teams because they can't build out

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:46.680
<v Speaker 2>the team the way they want to, all right to

0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Travis Kelcey. After punching a couple of teammates, Kelsey tweeted,

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:52.880
<v Speaker 2>he's got to be a better teammate and leader. Nick GBT,

0:42:53.000 --> 0:42:56.600
<v Speaker 2>what is Kelsey actually saying? I believe he's actually saying that.

0:42:57.120 --> 0:43:01.239
<v Speaker 2>I disagree with him now. I don't want to punching teammates,

0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:05.960
<v Speaker 2>most notably because he could hurt his hand. And is this, Nick,

0:43:06.000 --> 0:43:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Are you being a hypocrite because of how you felt

0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:14.400
<v Speaker 2>about Draymond? No, of course not. Guys. Hittings another teammate

0:43:14.440 --> 0:43:17.799
<v Speaker 2>in the helmet in football training camp is not at

0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:20.839
<v Speaker 2>all the same as cold cocking your teammate and damn

0:43:20.840 --> 0:43:24.920
<v Speaker 2>near breaking his jaw at basketball training camp. Not the

0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:28.920
<v Speaker 2>same at all. The reason I don't mind it is

0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:33.200
<v Speaker 2>if anyone was worried that Kelsey hosting SNL, you know,

0:43:33.400 --> 0:43:36.600
<v Speaker 2>potentially becoming the goat tight end, winning a second Super Bowl,

0:43:36.719 --> 0:43:39.840
<v Speaker 2>all of this stuff, didn't have his eye on the ball,

0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:43.120
<v Speaker 2>You now don't have to worry about that. The guy

0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:47.120
<v Speaker 2>is so fired up and so intense he's flipping out

0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:50.400
<v Speaker 2>in consecutive days at training camp. I'm not bothered by it.

0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Michael Jordan's trainer Tim Grover attempted to end the goat

0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:58.480
<v Speaker 2>debate by saying, ever heard a story of anyone getting

0:43:58.560 --> 0:44:01.920
<v Speaker 2>robbed for a pair of brawn? Nick, gbt, is the

0:44:01.920 --> 0:44:06.880
<v Speaker 2>goat debate over? No, of course not. But I will say,

0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:12.560
<v Speaker 2>as arrogantly as it sounds, I effing told you so.

0:44:14.200 --> 0:44:16.200
<v Speaker 2>There has not been a take of mine in the

0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:22.120
<v Speaker 2>last six months that I was more roundly criticized for

0:44:22.960 --> 0:44:27.080
<v Speaker 2>than when I said on this show and on the

0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:32.360
<v Speaker 2>TV show that by the rules of engagement that have

0:44:32.440 --> 0:44:39.360
<v Speaker 2>been set up by the Jordan acolytes, Jordan's ownership tenure

0:44:40.840 --> 0:44:46.919
<v Speaker 2>with the Hornets, which was an unmitigated disaster, and well,

0:44:47.360 --> 0:44:49.520
<v Speaker 2>remind me, I'll remind myself to get back to that

0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:54.799
<v Speaker 2>in a moment, by those that that should be at

0:44:54.880 --> 0:44:59.600
<v Speaker 2>least a small part of the goat debate in the

0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:06.280
<v Speaker 2>negat column for Jordan, purely because folks have used how

0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:10.560
<v Speaker 2>dope his shoes are and how well they sell and

0:45:10.680 --> 0:45:15.320
<v Speaker 2>the movie air and all of that as a pro

0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:18.520
<v Speaker 2>a slash in the pro column for him on the

0:45:18.560 --> 0:45:24.880
<v Speaker 2>goat debate, and folks acted like I had six heads. Oh, Nick,

0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:28.320
<v Speaker 2>No one does that. No one talks about the sneakers

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:32.320
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the goat stuff, even though everyone

0:45:32.480 --> 0:45:36.680
<v Speaker 2>knows people do and have And now we have Tim

0:45:36.760 --> 0:45:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Grover at a giant speech, not as a throwaway line,

0:45:43.960 --> 0:45:48.840
<v Speaker 2>he said, this is the mic drop moment, like boom,

0:45:49.440 --> 0:45:54.560
<v Speaker 2>big joker, look at the sneakers. I told you so.

0:45:55.440 --> 0:46:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Also a lot of people. I want to be very

0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:10.640
<v Speaker 2>careful about this how I phrase this, but there seemed

0:46:10.680 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 2>to be more than a few credible reports that I

0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:23.040
<v Speaker 2>wish someone would, like the Wall Street Journal, would put

0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:27.320
<v Speaker 2>a reporter on to really nail down. But there seemed

0:46:27.360 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 2>to be a lot of people in the financial services

0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:41.840
<v Speaker 2>sector that believe Jordans sold the Hornets because he owed

0:46:42.920 --> 0:46:48.839
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of millions of dollars because he was one of

0:46:48.880 --> 0:46:56.400
<v Speaker 2>the major shorters of the game stop stock. And again

0:46:56.680 --> 0:47:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I have not run down that story, but I have

0:47:00.920 --> 0:47:06.919
<v Speaker 2>now heard it from three different places, most recently from

0:47:07.000 --> 0:47:10.440
<v Speaker 2>last night, from someone who I really feel would know

0:47:11.320 --> 0:47:19.040
<v Speaker 2>that this is exactly what happened. And if that's true,

0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:26.880
<v Speaker 2>that Jordan's I mean obsessive gambling got to the point

0:47:27.040 --> 0:47:32.400
<v Speaker 2>to where he had to sell his basketball team. Honestly,

0:47:33.040 --> 0:47:37.200
<v Speaker 2>that kind of makes me like him more. It's also

0:47:37.800 --> 0:47:43.960
<v Speaker 2>hilarious because no one has quite explained why he sold

0:47:44.000 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the team. Oh, Nick, he made billions. Well it wasn't

0:47:47.200 --> 0:47:52.440
<v Speaker 2>a yes, but he was never not going to make billions.

0:47:52.480 --> 0:47:54.759
<v Speaker 2>And of course those teams are only going up up

0:47:55.360 --> 0:47:58.040
<v Speaker 2>in valuations and they're about to have a brand new

0:47:58.040 --> 0:48:01.440
<v Speaker 2>television deal where they'd be worthy. And more so, the

0:48:01.480 --> 0:48:04.799
<v Speaker 2>timing of it was curious, and the fact that he

0:48:04.920 --> 0:48:10.400
<v Speaker 2>announced he was selling it before they knew whether you know,

0:48:10.760 --> 0:48:14.200
<v Speaker 2>they could have gotten wimby he it was announced he

0:48:14.280 --> 0:48:20.720
<v Speaker 2>was selling it before the draft lottery to intriguing story

0:48:21.560 --> 0:48:28.560
<v Speaker 2>that I hope uh the Wall Street Journal or Fortune

0:48:28.640 --> 0:48:33.040
<v Speaker 2>or somebody can run down uh elon. Musk, by the way,

0:48:33.560 --> 0:48:38.040
<v Speaker 2>changed the X which is the new Twitter slow twitters.

0:48:38.200 --> 0:48:42.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, changed the ex slogan used to be Twitter

0:48:42.840 --> 0:48:47.319
<v Speaker 2>to blaze your glory, Nick Gpt, What the bleep does

0:48:47.360 --> 0:48:54.640
<v Speaker 2>this mean? I listen. I gotta tell you I I

0:48:54.680 --> 0:49:02.480
<v Speaker 2>think Musk has done an objectively cartoonish bad job. I

0:49:02.560 --> 0:49:08.000
<v Speaker 2>also use Twitter as much as ever, not more, but

0:49:08.080 --> 0:49:11.879
<v Speaker 2>my usage has not gone down. Now, my enjoyment of it,

0:49:12.520 --> 0:49:20.120
<v Speaker 2>my ability to you know, check mentions is dead. There

0:49:20.120 --> 0:49:24.400
<v Speaker 2>are certain things that have just gotten objectively worse. But

0:49:25.280 --> 0:49:28.520
<v Speaker 2>as far as like the none of those threads. I

0:49:28.600 --> 0:49:33.160
<v Speaker 2>never signed up for Blue Sky all these things. Twitter

0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:37.400
<v Speaker 2>has such a massive head start that, no matter how

0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:45.080
<v Speaker 2>personally reprehensible I find Musk to be, and I mean

0:49:45.280 --> 0:49:49.400
<v Speaker 2>he's out here tweeting about white genocide in South Africa, Like,

0:49:49.440 --> 0:49:55.640
<v Speaker 2>give me a break, buddy, I it is still an

0:49:55.760 --> 0:50:00.920
<v Speaker 2>invaluable resource for me. And it has not broken. I

0:50:00.960 --> 0:50:02.799
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of people were like, oh, it's gonna break.

0:50:02.840 --> 0:50:06.120
<v Speaker 2>They fired all the engineers, and it is clunkier, and

0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:08.759
<v Speaker 2>there have been days it has been down. But I

0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:10.920
<v Speaker 2>don't care what they call it as long as it's

0:50:10.960 --> 0:50:15.640
<v Speaker 2>still the place that has Joe Burrow. You know, I

0:50:15.800 --> 0:50:21.240
<v Speaker 2>saw that Joe Burrow suffered a calf injury minutes after

0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:24.480
<v Speaker 2>it happened, before it was on any television network. It

0:50:24.520 --> 0:50:26.960
<v Speaker 2>was while it was live on TV, and we had

0:50:27.000 --> 0:50:30.000
<v Speaker 2>it on the show immediately, and it was because of Twitter.

0:50:30.600 --> 0:50:35.239
<v Speaker 2>Still super useful, all right. Lastly, the producer saw a

0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:37.919
<v Speaker 2>very vague tweet from Demonse the other day that read,

0:50:37.960 --> 0:50:42.400
<v Speaker 2>there's apparently this podcast on YouTube that just spreads misinformation

0:50:42.520 --> 0:50:45.880
<v Speaker 2>about me, Nick Gpt. Who could Demanse be talking about.

0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I think he's almost assuredly talking about us, maybe his

0:50:52.080 --> 0:50:55.160
<v Speaker 2>sister and I when we were doing the ghost conversation.

0:50:55.880 --> 0:51:02.640
<v Speaker 2>But Demonse, if you see this, it would I I

0:51:02.719 --> 0:51:08.320
<v Speaker 2>really pray he's talking about a different podcast. I should

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:13.799
<v Speaker 2>text him. I'm gonna text him now and maybe he'll respond.

0:51:14.719 --> 0:51:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Hold On, Demanse, were we the podcast you were tweeting about?

0:51:23.440 --> 0:51:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Because it would thrill me if it's a different podcast.

0:51:28.360 --> 0:51:31.640
<v Speaker 2>If Demand has gotten big enough that there is a

0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:34.719
<v Speaker 2>podcast other than this one that's like, hey, you know

0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:38.680
<v Speaker 2>the Demandse guy from What's Right, and then they're spreading

0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:40.600
<v Speaker 2>lies about him. I know it would be a pain

0:51:40.680 --> 0:51:43.600
<v Speaker 2>in the ass and stressful for him, but that would

0:51:43.600 --> 0:51:47.240
<v Speaker 2>be a badge of honor. There's a there in fact,

0:51:47.239 --> 0:51:49.080
<v Speaker 2>hold on, let me see if I can find it.

0:51:49.480 --> 0:51:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Someone sent me Nick hold on a YouTube video. Let

0:51:55.960 --> 0:51:58.479
<v Speaker 2>me see if I can oh here it is. There's

0:51:58.520 --> 0:52:05.239
<v Speaker 2>a YouTube video right now that has seventy five thousand

0:52:05.440 --> 0:52:10.799
<v Speaker 2>views from a guy that seems to take himself very seriously,

0:52:11.800 --> 0:52:16.839
<v Speaker 2>that claims it's twenty one minutes long to be an

0:52:16.960 --> 0:52:23.440
<v Speaker 2>expose that I'm a clutch sports client like he's uncovered it,

0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:30.520
<v Speaker 2>which again is something I have talked about publicly for

0:52:30.760 --> 0:52:33.959
<v Speaker 2>two years since it's been true. That's first of all.

0:52:34.280 --> 0:52:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Second of all, is such a backwards understanding of that.

0:52:39.080 --> 0:52:43.400
<v Speaker 2>People are like, oh, how can you take Nick's lebron

0:52:43.600 --> 0:52:49.239
<v Speaker 2>take seriously when Clutch is paying them? Guys, your agents

0:52:49.280 --> 0:52:56.040
<v Speaker 2>don't pay you, You pay them, and I am not. I.

0:52:56.040 --> 0:53:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I am repped by UTA, and my agent is Ryan Hayden,

0:53:01.800 --> 0:53:07.799
<v Speaker 2>who's excellent. UTA and Clutt Clutch are partners. Rich is

0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:11.120
<v Speaker 2>on the board of UTA, and Rich is the one,

0:53:11.880 --> 0:53:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Rich Paul of Clutch Sports who hooked me up with

0:53:15.600 --> 0:53:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Hayden, And that's who I work with. That's kind

0:53:19.719 --> 0:53:23.759
<v Speaker 2>that's how the business works or whatever. Rich isn't negotiating

0:53:23.800 --> 0:53:26.480
<v Speaker 2>my contracts. Have I ever bounced business stuff off of Rich?

0:53:26.520 --> 0:53:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Of course he's brilliant on that stuff. Yeah. Uh, but

0:53:31.560 --> 0:53:35.439
<v Speaker 2>they don't pay me. I pay them. If anything, Rich

0:53:35.520 --> 0:53:37.600
<v Speaker 2>and them should be out there talking about how I'm

0:53:37.640 --> 0:53:40.879
<v Speaker 2>the goat, not the other way around. Quick break right back,

0:53:40.920 --> 0:53:49.279
<v Speaker 2>answer your questions? What's right? All right? Welcome back in

0:53:49.360 --> 0:53:52.000
<v Speaker 2>what's right with Nick? Right? Let's answer some fan questions.

0:53:52.160 --> 0:53:52.399
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:53:52.440 --> 0:53:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Producer Dan asks who's the more incompetent owner, MJ or Elon.

0:53:56.640 --> 0:53:59.440
<v Speaker 2>It's MJ. It's not even close. Elon's a pain in

0:53:59.480 --> 0:54:01.839
<v Speaker 2>the ass, but he has he can't say he's the

0:54:01.880 --> 0:54:06.560
<v Speaker 2>worst in modern history in his business. And Jordan was

0:54:06.600 --> 0:54:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the as far as on court performance, the worst owner

0:54:10.239 --> 0:54:12.680
<v Speaker 2>of the twenty first century. It's not even close. Jerk

0:54:12.800 --> 0:54:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Nlow asks, do you think any current quarterback will finish

0:54:16.440 --> 0:54:20.960
<v Speaker 2>their career with more than two Super Bowls? Aside from Mahomes, No,

0:54:22.120 --> 0:54:28.960
<v Speaker 2>three plus two quarterbacks at the same time winning three plus. No,

0:54:29.080 --> 0:54:35.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't. It's never happened. I mean, Bradshaw won four

0:54:35.320 --> 0:54:40.840
<v Speaker 2>in the seventies, Montana won four in the eighties, Aikmn

0:54:40.960 --> 0:54:45.719
<v Speaker 2>won three in the nineties. Brady won six over a

0:54:45.760 --> 0:54:49.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty year stretch. No one over you know in those

0:54:49.800 --> 0:54:54.880
<v Speaker 2>periods got more than two. No, I absolutely don't. Jose

0:54:55.040 --> 0:54:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Castro says, do you think Alcarez should be favored in

0:54:58.440 --> 0:55:00.359
<v Speaker 2>the US Open over Djokovic? I told you you guys,

0:55:00.360 --> 0:55:05.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm becking him in every major from for now until

0:55:05.239 --> 0:55:07.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty eight. Autcarez is gonna be my pick to

0:55:07.719 --> 0:55:10.080
<v Speaker 2>win every major, and I'll win more money than I'll lose.

0:55:10.480 --> 0:55:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Vaughan says, let's say you could control the chief's destiny,

0:55:13.560 --> 0:55:17.160
<v Speaker 2>what would you prefer this season they go undefeated and

0:55:17.200 --> 0:55:21.080
<v Speaker 2>win the Super Bowl, or they have the NFL's first

0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:26.279
<v Speaker 2>three peat but never consecutive Super Bowls afterwards. Well, I'm

0:55:26.280 --> 0:55:31.719
<v Speaker 2>gonna listen the I don't totally understand the second part

0:55:31.719 --> 0:55:34.080
<v Speaker 2>of that question. They get a three peat but never consecutive.

0:55:34.440 --> 0:55:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's just what would I like? More undefeated this year

0:55:39.719 --> 0:55:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and win the Super Bowl and don't win next year,

0:55:44.640 --> 0:55:52.840
<v Speaker 2>or they three pat but don't go undefeated in either season.

0:55:55.520 --> 0:56:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I would prefer the three peat for two reasons. One is,

0:56:02.120 --> 0:56:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I think it's harder to duplicate. We have seen seen

0:56:07.800 --> 0:56:11.600
<v Speaker 2>teams come closer to undefeated than we've seen to three peating.

0:56:12.880 --> 0:56:18.920
<v Speaker 2>And two is I I think it would be good.

0:56:19.120 --> 0:56:23.719
<v Speaker 2>I think it would be a cooler carrot to dangle

0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:29.840
<v Speaker 2>out there for every individual season thereafter, let's try to

0:56:29.880 --> 0:56:33.480
<v Speaker 2>go undefeated. As opposed if they were to go undefeated,

0:56:33.560 --> 0:56:36.759
<v Speaker 2>win the Super Bowl and then lose next year, you

0:56:36.800 --> 0:56:40.520
<v Speaker 2>can't really dangle the three peak carrot because that's a

0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:45.440
<v Speaker 2>multi season, you know, objective. If they go if they

0:56:45.440 --> 0:56:49.520
<v Speaker 2>were to three peat, you would still every year be

0:56:49.640 --> 0:56:52.080
<v Speaker 2>able to say, what have we not done? We're not

0:56:52.280 --> 0:56:54.920
<v Speaker 2>we haven't gone undefeated. Nick, Are you getting ahead of

0:56:54.920 --> 0:56:57.880
<v Speaker 2>yourself done on this stuff? Absolutely not. It's the greatest

0:56:57.880 --> 0:56:59.320
<v Speaker 2>player ever and a guy who's gonna be one of

0:56:59.360 --> 0:57:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the three greatest coaches ever. No, I'm not getting out

0:57:01.960 --> 0:57:04.839
<v Speaker 2>of myself. This guy says, Oh, no, Nick is a

0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Caramel pronouncer. I don't know Carmel Caramel. I don't know

0:57:09.320 --> 0:57:12.080
<v Speaker 2>there's an a. There's two ways. I mean, seems like

0:57:12.120 --> 0:57:16.520
<v Speaker 2>it's caramel. Shelton Johnson says, why did you give Trevor

0:57:16.520 --> 0:57:18.280
<v Speaker 2>a pass when he had a bad coaching staff but

0:57:18.320 --> 0:57:20.479
<v Speaker 2>not justin fields? When he had a coach you didn't

0:57:20.480 --> 0:57:23.280
<v Speaker 2>believe in him? And Matt Nagy. I'm not anti justin.

0:57:23.080 --> 0:57:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Fields, the the the the I'm flatle not anti justin fields.

0:57:33.320 --> 0:57:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not arguing that justin fields isn't gonna be really good.

0:57:38.120 --> 0:57:42.360
<v Speaker 2>But for the record, Trevor had one of the worst

0:57:42.400 --> 0:57:47.040
<v Speaker 2>coaching staffs in NFL history, Matt Nagy is a pretty

0:57:47.040 --> 0:57:50.520
<v Speaker 2>good quarterbacks coach, and Trevor's just flatly better than justin fields.

0:57:51.080 --> 0:57:54.360
<v Speaker 2>But I justin fields might end up being awesome. We

0:57:54.480 --> 0:57:57.120
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen it yet. We have seen it already from

0:57:57.160 --> 0:58:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Trevor just said. We found the podcast shading Demonse. Wait,

0:58:03.680 --> 0:58:05.840
<v Speaker 2>don't put it, don't do it publicly. Wait, so it's

0:58:05.920 --> 0:58:10.840
<v Speaker 2>actually not us that he's talking about. Oh, it's the

0:58:10.920 --> 0:58:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Joe Rogan podcast. Okay, that's not true. You guys got

0:58:14.720 --> 0:58:19.400
<v Speaker 2>me excited. You guys got me very excited that you

0:58:19.440 --> 0:58:24.200
<v Speaker 2>guys had actually found it. I would have been so

0:58:24.480 --> 0:58:32.360
<v Speaker 2>happy if we had actually found the podcast. Shading Demonse.

0:58:32.480 --> 0:58:35.480
