1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone is having a good day, good life, good

3
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five good vibes only. And I thought we

4
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: do a little football podcast today. Did a golf podcast yesterday,

5
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: so if you missed that, go lo episode one for

6
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five out and today I thought we'd do

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: a little one thing. I did want to look back

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: before we move on to this offseason, which is going

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: to be full full speed ahead next week with the

10
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: combine and free agency. That just some lessons that we

11
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: learned from twenty twenty five. I wrote down a couple

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: and I thought we'd go over as well as Netflix

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: looks like it's gonna get way more involved here in

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: the upcoming future, probably when the NFL opts out of

15
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: their current television deal in five years, four years, and

16
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: Netflix could have a big package as well as a team.

17
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: We know the NFL is doing another Brazil game also,

18
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: And of course Middlecoff mailback at John Middlecoff at John

19
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Middlecoff is the Instagram. Fire in those dms and get

00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty five besides just podcasts like we

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: currently put up and other than that, any other news,

30
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: any other notes, any other thoughts. No, So let's let's

31
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: just talk a little football. A lot going on, well

32
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: actually not really, I mean slow time in the football world,

33
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: but it's about to really pick up next week with

34
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: rumors flying from draft picks to the measurements, to the

35
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: workouts to you know, potential trades. We've had a lot

36
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: of trades conducted executed and this is when the conversations

37
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: really pick up at the combine next week. So basically

38
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: this week, these gms and the coaching staffs and the

39
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: scouting staffs are really kind of finalizing information they have

40
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: for the potential rookies, you know, questions, any red flags

41
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: going into the combine, and then the pro departments are

42
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: really kind of finalizing their free agency board who they

43
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: want who are must have because the end of the day,

44
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: for most teams, I mean, it depends how much money

45
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: you have. But you're targeting, you know, the teams target

46
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: two or three players and maybe one or two big, big,

47
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: quote unquote splashy players. And let's face it, there aren't

48
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: like super famous guys that often hit true free agency,

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: but guys that you target, guys that you want and

50
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: and yeah, that's kind of how you attack it, and

51
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: it all kind of funnels up. I guess you work

52
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: hand in hand with your gm as as a department

53
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: and your coaching staff, so everyone's got to get on

54
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: the same page. You know. The Eagles, Yeah, a couple hangovers,

55
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: this is this is probably a busy week, you know

56
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: for Howie see Rianni and the boys in Philly. Same

57
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: with same with each and everybody. So it's it comes

58
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: at you fast, furious. Think of all the shitty teams,

59
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: the advantage they have had being mean's February nineteenth, right,

60
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, so the bad teams, especially if you didn't

61
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: need a coach, like the Giants who just kept everybody

62
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: like they've been working for a month and a half.

63
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: So if they can't get this right, maybe maybe they

64
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: never will. But I wanted to start back with just

65
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: some big lessons and themes that I think we can

66
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: take away from twenty twenty four and apply it moving forward.

67
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: And I think the biggest theme of twenty twenty four

68
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: was the explosion of the running backs. And there's this quote,

69
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, I try to keep a little quote log

70
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: in the phone and sometimes I go back and, you know,

71
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: things to spark the mind. And there's something that's that

72
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: I wrote down a long time ago that you know,

73
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: sticks with me to this day, and it's that fortunes

74
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: are made in the down markets and they're collected in

75
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: the up markets. So basically, you buy things for cheap

76
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: when disaster strikes, and those appreciate as times turn. And

77
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: I think you saw that with the running backs, right.

78
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: It was a situation where these wide receivers were making

79
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: thirty to thirty five million dollars and they were more

80
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: than doubling high end superstar running backs value. Despite these

81
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: guys running for twelve to fifteen hundred yards catching and

82
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: scoring a bunch of touchdowns on the ground, they were

83
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: clearly very important players. The problem was their risk for

84
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: injury was dramatically higher. Than wide receivers. But it's been proven,

85
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: and it was definitely proven this year that like you

86
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: get a really good, impactful running back, they're the best

87
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: deal in American sports right now because they do not

88
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: cost any money relative to other impact players. Star tackles

89
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: cost twenty five to thirty million dollars, pass rushers are

90
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: gonna cost thirty five to forty. Wide receivers cost thirty

91
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: to thirty five. Yet you could get Sakuon Barkley for

92
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: basically thirteen million dollars a year. You could get Derrick Henry,

93
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, for eight million dollars. You could

94
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: get Josh Jacobs, who's I don't know, one of the

95
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: better all around players in the NFL, for a twelve

96
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: point five million dollar signing bonus. Like that was crazy,

97
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: and no team benefited as much as the Eagles from

98
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, coming in and getting Saquon Barkley for less

99
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: than thirty million dollars. Think how many guys on their

100
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: team make more than thirty million dollars guaranteed. You know,

101
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson, Jordan Mylotta, obviously, the wide receivers, the quarterback,

102
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: the tight end, you know guys you know over the

103
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: course of their careers. I know Fletcher retired, but you

104
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: know their defensive lineman, Jalen Carter will surely get that

105
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: sligh back in the day when he was getting big contracts.

106
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: So like you got Saquon Barkley, who pound four pound

107
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: is whatever the quote unquote top one hundred, which let's

108
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: face it is just off season content and can be

109
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: kind of stupid. But like Sejoa, Barkley's gonna be pretty

110
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: high on that list. You know, he's gonna be really

111
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: high on that list, just like two years ago Christian

112
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: McCaffrey was really high on that list. Because when you

113
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: get a guy who can do it all, you can

114
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: ride him to the promised Land. And when you have

115
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: a really good offensive line or a good offensive schemer,

116
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: you can take advantage of it. But to me, why

117
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: these running backs are so valuable is they don't cost

118
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: any money. Like I love all these people, and it's

119
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 1: one thing if you don't have the money, but people

120
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: that did have the resources, like God, I should have

121
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: bought more real estate in two thousand and nine, ten,

122
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, Well some people, did you know, people like

123
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: me had no money, Not that I was even thinking

124
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: to wasn't even an option, But there were people that

125
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: did have the option and were like, ah, it's too.

126
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: Scary if this is not a good decision, And there

127
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: were people that did and then dramatically benefited over the

128
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: next decade. Just like when stocks crash, a lot of

129
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: people run. Some people view it as a sale. And

130
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: I think Howie Roseman, who's widely considered the best Gennel manager,

131
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: looked at Saquon Barkley like a fucking bargain. Same thing

132
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: with the packers, like wait, you're getting rid of Aaron

133
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: Jones for Josh Jacobs. Yeah, he's an upgrade and he

134
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: doesn't cost much money. The Henry thing, I mean, he

135
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: was just older. Anyone could have had him. He got

136
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: eight million dollars guaranteed. And listen, this doesn't just go

137
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: for running backs as well, like part of being a

138
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: successful operation, I would say anything in life, sometimes you

139
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: got to get some deals on things that then turn

140
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: out to be pretty fruitful. You can't always pay a

141
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: premium and expect a premium. Sometimes like you got a

142
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: damn I got that.

143
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: For pretty cheap and it worked out. I would say

144
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: that's a formula in any industry. You can call it luck,

145
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: you can call it good timing, whatever it may be.

146
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: Like the Minnesota Vikings got Sam Darnold this year for

147
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: ten million dollars, and while his last couple games were

148
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: not great, he had a fantastic season. Was an MVP

149
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: candidate for ten million dollars. At quarterback. Tuatanga bai Loa

150
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: just got over two hundred million dollars. Trevor Lawrence literally

151
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: got two hundred million dollars guaranteed. Last year. Gardner Minshew

152
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: and Joe Flacco, I don't think made it combined ten

153
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: million dollars, and Flacco led the Browns of the playoffs

154
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: and Gardner Minshew had them a couple of plays away.

155
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: So like, you need to get bargain deals with impact

156
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: players in the NFL. Obviously the Eagles, it wasn't even

157
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: just Saquon Barkley. They got Zack vond for nothing. He

158
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: turned into an All Pro. Makai Beckton wants a top

159
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: ten pick. Looked like he was just gonna be a

160
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: flame out and just a throwaway player. They moved him

161
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: to guard and he's a key player in the best

162
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: offensive line in the NFL. So it's like we talk

163
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: a lot about the high priced guys and the guys

164
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: making you all this money, the TJ. Watts, the Bosa's,

165
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: the Chris jones Is, the CD Lambs, the you name

166
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: it right, justin Jefferson's like, to be really good, you

167
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: gotta have some guys on some bargain deals that then

168
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: not only exceed expectations, become like all pro pro Bowl

169
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: level guys. And that that was on full display this year.

170
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: Sakuon Barkley, Derrick Henry, Jacob, Sam Darnold. Teams that were really,

171
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: really good. Obviously, the Eagles were the best team, but

172
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: all these other teams, playoff teams right in the mix,

173
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: competing for the best records in the NFL, all had

174
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: impact players on very very cheap deals. And you know, listen,

175
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of this. We're all guilty of this. We

176
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: all say it, and we're going to continue to say it,

177
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: and it's never going to stop. It's a quarterback league.

178
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: You can't you don't have a chance without a quarterback. Well, yeah,

179
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: you need a quarterback someone to play that position. True,

180
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: and I agree, like you need a really good player

181
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: at the position. You can't compete with a bottom ten

182
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. But what makes football so special

183
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: is this is not basketball. I can't just if I

184
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: give you Michael Jordan or Shaquille O'Neill in his prime,

185
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: or Nikole Jokich or whoever, Steph Curry and his prime,

186
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, more than likely, team's going to be pretty good,

187
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: and more than likely if you just do a decent

188
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: job building it, your team's going to be really good.

189
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: In football, there is no guarantee. Because we saw Joe

190
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: Burrow have an elite season, he was in the MVP

191
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: mix and his team did not make the playoffs. He

192
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: threw forty three touchdown passes. To put that into perspective,

193
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes through twenty six Yet Patrick Mahomes team was

194
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: the number one overall seed and if they didn't throw,

195
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: the last game could have gone sixteen to one. Yet

196
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow had to claw, scratch and bite his way

197
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: to just get above five hundred. Is a team sport,

198
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: and it's the ultimate team sport. You cannot do it

199
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: on your own. And listen, you need Mahomes, you need

200
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, you need Lamar Jackson, you need Josh Allen.

201
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm not arguing against that. No one would. But you

202
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: need a good team. You need good defensive players, you

203
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: need good coaching on that side of the ball, you

204
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: need good coaching on the offensive side of the ball.

205
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: There are so many pieces in this sport that not

206
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: one man can carry you. We literally saw it with

207
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow who was having an unreal year and they

208
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: were losing games because they couldn't stop a nosebleed. And

209
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: I think it was on full display this year with

210
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes. You could argue it wasn't even

211
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: a top five quarterback all season. Obviously we all consider

212
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: him the top quarterback, but just based on this individual

213
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: season in a vacuum, like he was okay, now, you

214
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: could argue it wasn't all his fault. The offensive line

215
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: wasn't great, running for his life most of the year.

216
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,359
Speaker 1: But they were a good team. They're a well run operation,

217
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: and that operation carried them all the way to the

218
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, where they met a team that was also

219
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: a well run operation who just had way more talent

220
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: and kicked their ass. But I think we talked about

221
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback. The quarterback. The quarterback is your team any

222
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: good like you have good players, you have good coaches,

223
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: because if you don't like this isn't Lebron James in

224
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: his prime. I don't give a shit, Like we can

225
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: beat you if we got a better team. And that's

226
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: what makes I would say football so unique, so fun

227
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: to watch because there are so many different variables that play.

228
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: I've said this forever, like I don't relate very well

229
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: to cheap, rich people like I just I don't. I

230
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: can't comprehend their way of thinking. And I don't mean

231
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: like drawing a line on certain things like having certain

232
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: expenses that we're just we're just not going to pay

233
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: that for that, Like obviously certain things don't impact whatever

234
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: your industry is. It's like, we don't need to stay

235
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: in the four seasons. We can just stay at the Marriotte, right,

236
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: or some executive like listen, I can stay. I don't

237
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: need to ride first class. It's like, yeah, that's that's

238
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: your prerogative. I maybe it doesn't impact ultimately your business. Right.

239
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: I saw Deon Sanders. He saved Colorado like over two

240
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars because he doesn't recruit in the sense

241
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: of he doesn't go to any high schools and he

242
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: doesn't go to any living rooms. So he's like, he

243
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: gets a budget that he gets whatever, two hundred two

244
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: hundred fifty thousand dollars of private aviation if he wants

245
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: to go recruit. He didn't use any of it. And

246
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: he said one like, that's not how I run my operation.

247
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: I don't the value there for us. I don't need

248
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: to do that, and two like, I'm a businessman, like

249
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't just view like these resources as just unlimited,

250
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: Like I understand like anytime that I can save the

251
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: university money, it benefits us big picture, like I look

252
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: at it that way. But in football, non player, by far,

253
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: the most important person you can have in your building

254
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: is the head coach. And we see over and over

255
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: and over again teams go cheap at that position, you know,

256
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: and when you do then everyone complains like why do

257
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: we suck? It's because I don't know that position kind

258
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: of matters. And the going rate for good ones in

259
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: college football is now ten to twelve million dollars. In

260
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: the NFL it's fifteen to twenty. So when you have

261
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: a coach making five six seven million dollars more often

262
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: than not, you have no fucking chance. And listen, these

263
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: owners have proven some of them with artificial turf at

264
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: their stadium. They don't even have the nicest version, so

265
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: they will go cheap. And you can be like, well,

266
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: rich guys, didn't just waste money. I agree. No one's

267
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: asking them to just buy fifty Lamborghinis for the hell

268
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: of it. But if you're not going to invest in

269
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: the best turf when you have a payroll of two

270
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars in terms of players, and

271
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: the business model of the NFL is literally the games, Like,

272
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I read flag some of your decision making,

273
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: and when some of these organizations constantly go cheap at

274
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: coach when you have the opportunity to pay I don't

275
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: know Jim Harbaugh, but what is Jim Harball. He's expensive

276
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: And it's why I give the Chargers credit. Forever. It

277
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: was like, how can we get a cheap guy that

278
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: we kind of like Brandon Staley He'll cost five million,

279
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn he'll cost four million, Mike McCoy he'll cost

280
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: three million. It's like and then you guys wonder why

281
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: you fire him after every two or three years. And

282
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: finally they broke the bank for Jim Harbaugh and they

283
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: went from a team drafting number five overall. That was

284
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: an absolute joke to being the five seed. And Sean Payton,

285
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: the the Walton family that does have unlimited resources, goes, yeah,

286
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: we're not gonna go cheap. At coach Sean Payton, what's

287
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: it cost to get you? He's like, it's not gonna

288
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: be cheap. Ninety million dollars. Okay, here's a check. You're

289
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: in charge. Two years later, rookie quarterback in the playoffs,

290
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: first time for Denver in a decade, and you know,

291
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was on full display with the La Ramps.

292
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: Mcveigh's team. Look at what he's dealing with. He's dealing

293
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: with a thirty seven year old met Stafford Cooper cup

294
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: fell off a cliff. So he's got a Pooka Nakua

295
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: who they drafted in the third or fourth round. They're

296
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: dependent on rookies on the defensive line, and they were

297
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: a player two away from literally beating the champs on

298
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: the road in a snowstorm. Coaching really matters, and it's

299
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: not shocking when you look at, you know, the final four,

300
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: the final eight, it's the Andy Reids, Megan twenty million,

301
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: it's the John Harbobs making sixteen seventeen million, it's Sean

302
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: McDermott probably making fourteen fifteen million. You know, it's Sean McVeigh.

303
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni's a little bit of an outlier, but guess

304
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: what Nick Siriann's gonna want this offseason? A rays It's like, hey, guys,

305
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: I've been in two Super Bowls in three years. You

306
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 1: can say how he runs the show, but like, I'm

307
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: kind of the head coach, So do I get fifteen

308
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: million dollars? And that's gonna be an interesting conversation. But

309
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: don't go cheap with things that matter. And I would

310
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: use that in any walk of life. And I think, like,

311
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm not acting like you should just blow money left

312
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: and right, especially people with money, but things that impact

313
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: directly your business and things that impact it the most.

314
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: When you cut corners on that, you deserve to lose

315
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: in any industry, and I think football, it is on

316
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: full display. Pay high level coaches and I think last

317
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: but not least. And we've known this for a but

318
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: we talk about a lot on like the mail bag.

319
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: When this time of year comes around, it's like, oh,

320
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: how sweet is that wide receiver? How awesome? Would that

321
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: dude McMillan from Arizona be how about this dude from Missouri?

322
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: Get me that wide receiver from Ohio State. It's like,

323
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: you know, shouldn't I know it's not a sexyed, but

324
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't we just take that right tackle in the first round?

325
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: You know, it's pick twenty four. I would love to

326
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: have that wide receiver, But couldn't this guy be my

327
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: starting center for the next decade? And so many teams

328
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: talk that talk. They act like that's their philosophical belief

329
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: in football, the trenches. We're gonna build the trenches. And

330
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: then they draft a wide receiver. It's like, what what

331
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: are you doing? And it was on full display last

332
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: year in the draft with Ryan Poles, who played offensive line,

333
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: and when he played offensive line in college, he protected

334
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. So I understand taking Caleb Williams and trying

335
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: to get him help surrounding him, but it doesn't matter

336
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: if he's got Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin and Shannon Sharp

337
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: run around out there. If you can't protect him, you

338
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: don't have a shot, especially with a guy that kind

339
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: of holds onto the football and you can't tell me

340
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: and listen, I love Roman Duns. I'm pro wide receiver.

341
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: I like wide receivers like I I enjoy the position.

342
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for it. But it's

343
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: gonna happen again this year where it's like, you take

344
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: a wide receiver high when you need lineman. This you

345
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: could argue defensive lineman too. You only have yourself to

346
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: blame when when you're pissed off in Week six that

347
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: you can't protect anybody. And I think the best teams

348
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: not only value that position, but live by that motto.

349
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: Listen.

350
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: I've seen it with the forty nine ers. Kyle Shanahan

351
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: believes that offensive lineman you can scheme around him, and

352
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: you need skill guys. It's like, yeah, I agree, you

353
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: need skill people to score points, but if you can't

354
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: protect people, you're in You're up shit's creek without a paddle.

355
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm just pro drafting those guys over

356
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: and over again and letting the cream rise. I don't

357
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: think you can ever draft enough offensive and defensive lineman.

358
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: So listen, as we move forward, these are things that

359
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: you know when you talk about down markets, what will

360
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: that position be. I think anytime you can get a

361
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: good linebacker or a good safety. They just don't cost

362
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: that much money. And most of these other positions, like

363
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: you're paying beachfront real estate prices. Right, that's if you

364
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: want a top wide receiver. It's like t Higgins. Let's

365
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: just say, you know, rumors are that he might get franchise,

366
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: but if he hit the open market, I mean he

367
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: would get so much money, your job would hit the floor.

368
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: So it's like, when these guys hit the open market,

369
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: you do have to pay probably an extra premium because

370
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: they're a free agent and you got other guys bidding

371
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: against them, let alone the position they play. You have

372
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: no problem doing that for the Micah Parsons, the Miles Garretts,

373
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: that Blaine Johnson's, the Trent Williams, the Tristan Worse. Like

374
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: you don't even hesitate with the lineman, but sometimes with

375
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: the wide receiver, Like is this the best allocation of assets?

376
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: Not because the guy's not a good player, Because well,

377
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: can I find a really good player in like the

378
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: second or third round? And the answer always says yes

379
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 1: you can. The answer is one percent, yes you can.

380
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: So I think the running back market's still moving forward.

381
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: Anytime you can get these guys for cheap. You gotta

382
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: think long and hard because if you do have a

383
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: good offensive line that they can they can change the game.

384
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Lions. Jamir Gibbs has become,

385
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, the young version of like Alvin Kamara, Christian

386
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: McCaffery and catch the ball. He can run the ball

387
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: inside and out. He's so fast, he's such a dynamic

388
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: playmaker in space. And he's gonna count if he stays

389
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: healthy for the next couple of years. I would say

390
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: fifteen to eighteen touchdowns a year. It's kind of important.

391
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: Look at some of the top wide receivers. It's like, oh,

392
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: I got seven touchdowns, he got nine touchdowns, Well, this

393
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: guy's getting me fifteen.

423
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: A couple little things. The chargers the NFL loves this

424
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: Brazil game. Never been to Brazil. I mean, looks like

425
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: a beautiful place, and clearly the NFL enjoys Brazil. Maybe

426
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: they got a growing fan base down there. But the Chargers,

427
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles did it last year, or do the Packers

428
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: do it last year? I forget who's home that was.

429
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: I think it was Green Bays. Could be wrong, but

430
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: this will be the Chargers. So clearly they're going to

431
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: go AFC NFC every year. Try to keep it, you know, equitable,

432
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: and the Chargers will host that Brazil game, which one

433
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: thing the NFL is gonna do, you know, the opening

434
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: game Thursday nights. BP fastball, Like, it doesn't get any easier.

435
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: You take the Super Bowl champion and then you just

436
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: pick some sweet team on their schedule. Like this year

437
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: it's like Chiefs, Chiefs, Ravens. It's like, yeah, that'll work.

438
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean this year will be like Eagles up, you

439
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: go Eagles, Commanders, you go Eagles. I think they play

440
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: the Rams. You pick Million Tames. It's an easy one.

441
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: You pick any sweet team on their schedule. A couple

442
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: of years ago was Chiefs Lions. It's not shit. You

443
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: could do. Eagles could play like the local high school

444
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: and twenty million people will watch. Were so football starved.

445
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: But that second game, I think they kind of gave

446
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: the blueprint. Eagles Packers. What was that matchup? With two

447
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: playoff teams? And I would expect the Chargers like I

448
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: would expect another playoff team. I wouldn't expect like Chargers Jags,

449
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, or Chargers Bears or something. I don't even

450
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: know who's on their schedule, but I would be stunned

451
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: if it's not another team that was in the playoffs

452
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: last year. I honestly, I think you could go, maybe

453
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: they're anti doing division matchups in these games, but because

454
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: of the Chargers home game, why couldn't you do Chargers Denver?

455
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would say most things would be

456
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: on the table. Chargers Chiefs probably would not happen, but

457
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: it wouldn't totally shock me if that were to happen.

458
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: The chief content officer from Netflix gave a did an interview.

459
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: I think I don't know if it was with the

460
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: Ringers podcast that covers kind of the you know, kind

461
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: of content industry or variety A variety was a different

462
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: something else I read, but yeah, it was with I

463
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: think the puck, and he mentioned that their interest in

464
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: NFL games is moving forward. Is basically I'm giving the

465
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: cliff Notes version of like they would be very interested

466
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: in the Sunday package and talking about like Sunday night

467
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: or Sunday afternoon games, and essentially that you know, the

468
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: NFL hasn't opt out of their contract in twenty twenty nine.

469
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: Well a couple of years ago that sounded like it

470
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: was a long long way away, but twenty twenty five.

471
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: But twenty twenty nine, I might have like a three

472
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: year old. So Netflix, this was always going to be

473
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: an issue is that these older owners, like the Jerry Jones,

474
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: the Robert Crafts. I would put Mark Davis, I would

475
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: put anyone over sixty sixty five through their seventies and eighties,

476
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: their loyalty to Fox, CBS and NBC runs fucking deep,

477
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: because when they go home to their third mansion in

478
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: Aspen or some Italian village or get on there hundreds

479
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars worth of yachts, it's because of

480
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: those networks. Well, those networks, I'm sorry, are probably not

481
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: all going to survive as we move forward. And definitely

482
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: the power in which they have had most of my

483
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: life is diminishing by the day, and operations like Netflix

484
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: aren't just coming on, They're establishing their dominance. I was

485
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: listening to a podcast and I guess there was an

486
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: article in Variety that the number one place that YouTube

487
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: is consumed in twenty twenty five is not your phone,

488
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: is not your computer, is not like your device, like

489
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: an iPad. It's on television. And if you think about it,

490
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: think of the percentage of younger people that, like I

491
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: don't view YouTube as an app in the sense of

492
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime or Netflix or even YouTube TV on my television.

493
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: I don't watch YouTube on my television. I'm clearly I

494
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm necessarily the minority, but there is

495
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: a large percentage of people that do, and I would

496
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: imagine they all lean young. So when you look at

497
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: moving forward, like this was always going to end for Fox,

498
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: CBS and NBC if they got into a bidding war

499
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: with the Amazon Primes, with the Netflix, with that world,

500
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: if the younger generation took over. And I don't mean consumer,

501
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean Steven Jones, I mean Jonathancraft, because they're loyalty

502
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: to these like this is ultimately a business and ultimately

503
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: they can convince their fathers as well as like they're

504
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: offering us double what this operation is offering us. And

505
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: I always thought that was going to be the downfall

506
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: of Fox and NBC because they can't get into a

507
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: bidding war with Netflix or Apple. Those people have more

508
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: money than them, and those people can write a check

509
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: that they simply cannot. So when this opt out happens,

510
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: and after seeing the NBA package, their ratings diminished by

511
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: half within the decade, and they more than doubled their package.

512
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: And obviously it's the power of live rights. The NBA

513
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: is a little different the NFL. There's just a lot

514
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: more inventory on a nightly basis, but the power of

515
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: the NFL speaks for itself. It's the number one television

516
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: show in America. And I just think Netflix the NFL

517
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: didn't do that Christmas Day deal randomly, Like it's not

518
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: only a trial run. It's like, let's start kind of

519
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: feeling each other out. How many of you guys listening

520
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: that are in sales or in some business. You go

521
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: to some random dinner sometimes with maybe competing brands or

522
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: maybe people that you're not even in business with, to

523
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: kind of kick off the relationship, and then it just

524
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: kind of organically grows over time, and then now you

525
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: look back five ten years later, you're like, we're doing

526
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: a lot of business together. We're making a shitload of money.

527
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: That was the best, you know, golf trip I've ever

528
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: taken in my life. That was the right move. It

529
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: was a good thing that we we offered them super

530
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: Bowl ticket. Whatever business you're in to take care of

531
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: someone else, and that's essentially what the NFL did with

532
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: the Christmas Day games. Now they had to pay for it,

533
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: but it's like, hey, what your beak and what did

534
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: Netflix do? They're like, god, damn, we got twenty five,

535
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: twenty five thirty million people to watch these games. And

536
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: this is why my theory of the NFL going international

537
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: is not about placing a team anymore in the UK

538
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: or Germany or Brazil or wherever. It's really about building

539
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: the audience. So when these games are on Netflix, people

540
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: over their watch because I see it with my own product.

541
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: Right when I was on local radio, no one in Brazil,

542
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: no one in England, no one in Japan on an

543
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: Air Force base, listen to me. People that listened to

544
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: me lived in the Greater Bay area, And honestly, our

545
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: signal didn't go that far, so you had to be

546
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: within I don't know whatever the mile radius was, but

547
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't that big relative to the other station. Well

548
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: in the world I'm in now, I got fucking people

549
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: listening to me all over the place. And you talk

550
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: about the NFL. It's like, why can't the dude you

551
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: know living in Germany that likes football watch my game? Well,

552
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: he can if it's on Netflix. Do you know where

553
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: he can't if it's on Fox. And I just think

554
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a major major problem for these traditional

555
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: legacy brands. This is why I've defended the Peacock situation.

556
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: It's not ideal that you had to pay for Peacock

557
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: to watch. What was the playoff game the Dolphins against?

558
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: Was it the Chiefs a couple of years ago? I

559
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: think there was one. Was there one this year too?

560
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: I get people being mad, I do, but NBC cannot

561
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: survive with NBC, so they couldn't just put it on

562
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: NBC and be like, oh, we're gonna be good for

563
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: the next ten twenty thirty years. They will die. So

564
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: the only chance for their survival And I'm not like

565
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: NBC doesn't pay me any money. I just I just

566
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: understood where they were coming from. Is like Peacock working out,

567
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: Like if it doesn't work out, NBC will go night night,

568
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: as in like never waking up. And these streaming platforms

569
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: for these people has to operate and has to work

570
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: because if it doesn't, they cannot and listen, They're never

571
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: going to compete against Netflix. Netflix is all these people

572
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: wrapped up into one. One of my great investing regrets

573
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: was like five years ago when I like love the

574
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: company and realize, God, everyone is watching this not doing it,

575
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: and everything they've done kind of has turned to gold.

576
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: And the irony too is I don't even think their

577
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: content is that great. It's like I go on there

578
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 1: sometimes like there's a million shows, like we end up

579
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: not even watching anything. Yet I do believe that most

580
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: people their first move now is to go to Netflix.

581
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: The power of the brand. It's massive, and they've had

582
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: a long time building it up, but now they have

583
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: a ton Their war chest of cash is so big,

584
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: and they want this like this is something they're very

585
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: serious about. Because the live events thing, whether it's the

586
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: Tyson Jake Paul thing, whether it's the Brady Roast. Obviously

587
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: the Christmas games. They like the returns on those things

588
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: because a lot of people like they're a worldwide brand.

589
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: And I think the one thing the NFL showed them

590
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: on Christmas, which is it doesn't get much better. Everyone's home.

591
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: But they're no dumbu is. They know a ton of

592
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: people would watch if they had one of the Sunday

593
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: afternoon packages. And I would fully expect I would bet

594
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: a lot of money right now that Netflix is by

595
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: whatever the date is, you know, whether it's twenty eight,

596
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: twenty nine, who knows, And the NFL looks to re

597
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: up their packages that we go to Netflix on a

598
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon or Sunday night, but Sunday, and we already

599
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: know the international game, and Roger has talked about this

600
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: that there is going to be a full slate of

601
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: international games, so basically instead of six or seven, there's

602
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: gonna be like fifteen. Well that's going to be sold

603
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: as an individual passage as well, so which I don't

604
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: love because unlessen there's a first world problem, I could

605
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: be fucking digging ditches. But like, that's a long football day.

606
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: You know, if you've got a football game starting for

607
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: us on the West Coast at six thirty am till

608
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: basically nine to thirty at night. There's a lot of day,

609
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of time watching ball. Now, luckily the

610
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: Sunday morning games have been kind of crappy over the year,

611
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: so you can kind of pick and choose. But no

612
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: one cares about where I stand on that. But that's coming,

613
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: and that's guess what that's gonna be. It's gonna be

614
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: a standalone package. Well, they've sold Amazon for whatever billion

615
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: dollars a year for Thursday night games. What do you

616
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: think they'll sell the standalone morning game international for a

617
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: lot of money? What do you think they'll sell the

618
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: individual game to Netflix once a day? Maybe Netflix just

619
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: gets their own game on Sunday, and maybe Fox and

620
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: CBS can continue with Jim Nantz and you know Buck

621
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: and I guess Buck and Aikman are gone. I guess Brady.

622
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: So it's just get ready, Like change is inevitable in

623
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: business because the consumer. Back to the YouTube thing. Think

624
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: about five years ago, the way we talked about YouTube,

625
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: it was important, but it's nowhere near the power of

626
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: it is now. Like things people would ask me, like

627
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: what do you want to do with your career. Like,

628
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I work in a business that changes

629
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: is every ten minutes. I just want to keep having

630
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: the access or having people have ability to access me

631
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: or wherever that is. If YouTube were to die tomorrow,

632
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: it's not going to and something else started and it

633
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: was clearly going to work, I'd get on that. I

634
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: don't really care. I'm not emotional about any of these platforms,

635
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: but certain platforms are really powerful, and the way that

636
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: we consume everything has changed dramatically in five years. If

637
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: you would have told me five years ago I was

638
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: paying three four hundred dollars for cable, I don't even

639
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: have a cable box in my television and I make

640
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: my living off watching television and talking about it. Think

641
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: about that, I don't even have a cable box in

642
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: my house and I make a living off television. So

643
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: like that tells you everything you need to know. And

644
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: if you have the opportunity, and I spent a lot

645
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: of money on get this house wired, I would highly

646
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: recommend YouTube TV. If you guys want to advertise on

647
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: the show, holler out of Google. But because I'm a

648
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: user of the product, it fucking work. It's sweet. It

649
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: is awesome and obviously YouTube TV now has you know

650
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: the NFL package, It was just a seamless transition for me.

651
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I just it's crazy. And last but

652
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: not least, I guess they caught the guys that robbed

653
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: Kelsey and mahomes and it was the Chilean Gang. Well,

654
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: the Chilean gang. Where my brother lives in Davis, California,

655
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 1: which is right next to Sacramento. There were a bunch

656
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: of homes robbed, and he lives on a golf course

657
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: and his house wasn't robbed, but the dude right across

658
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: the kind of the course was, and there were like

659
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: two or three other homes in the area robbed. One

660
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: guy actually because they all play golf together. One guy

661
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: at I mean a decent amount of cash, you know,

662
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: one of those old school like sock drawers, like wait,

663
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: you had eighty five thousand dollars in cash in your

664
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: fucking sock toors? Like what is this? Nineteen sixty eight?

665
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: Like hey, Rayleota called, like you put it in a bank, buddy,

666
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: but obviously roll axis. But it came out that it

667
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: was the Chilean gangs. And then where I live kind

668
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: of right, up the street from me. There were some

669
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: robberies at a super nice kind of country club area

670
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: and guys like didn't necessarily come up the golf course,

671
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: but these things in the desert called the wash, so

672
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: you basically your home backs up to desert the areas

673
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: and a bunch of high end, super rich people got

674
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: jacked and they eventually caught him. And they were both

675
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: in Davis and in Scottsdale. Both Chilean gangs and the

676
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: Chilean gangs are running this operation of sending people here

677
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: and they rob your homes and they typically do it.

678
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: I don't know the specifics on the Kelsey Joe Burrow

679
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: that kind of crew, but like in Davis and in Scottsdale,

680
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: and I think they hit a super nice area in

681
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: was it Minnesota or Michigan as well. Is they do

682
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: it during like time when you leave your house to

683
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: walk your dog from like four to six, and they're

684
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: in and out and they come they basically case the

685
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: joint through a wash or through like some area where

686
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: they can just run away, but they're not like locked

687
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 1: and loaded with weapons. Basically, the Chilean's understood that if

688
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: we get arrested, especially in the last like four years.

689
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: You wouldn't get in any trouble, especially if you're not

690
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: packing heat. You're not gonna take anyone down. You just

691
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: you get released on bond, you're out of the country.

692
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: But they've been getting away with it for a long time,

693
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: and they clearly attacked some of these high end players

694
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: and the Chilean gang like are operating a pretty high

695
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: level operation. Hopefully it comes to an end, but they

696
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: have been pitting people high end neighborhoods all over the country.

697
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna walk your dog man, you got

698
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: to keep an eye make sure there's not anyone looking

699
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: over the fence, because these people wi robbing and they'll

700
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: be in and out of your house. I mean I

701
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: saw some of the video because my brother knows all

702
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: these guys that hit his neighbors. I mean they were

703
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: in and out in like three or four minutes. Like

704
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: they are not casing your entire house. They're going right

705
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: to the master bedroom and typically you know, hoping to

706
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: get bags, watches, you know, if you're dumb enough and listen.

707
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: I'm not. We're all a little different, but I think

708
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: in this modern day society, and who knows, maybe I

709
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: get you know, this huge banking hack and I lose

710
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: all my money. But if you have, I'm all for

711
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: keeping a little cash on you. But the people that

712
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: have like one hundred thousand dollars in cash in they're socked.

713
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: Or it's one thing. If you have like a legit

714
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: gun safe and you got cash in there, it's like, okay,

715
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: you know, I get it. I know a lot of

716
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: people that do that. No one could get in. It's

717
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: bolted to the ground. You can't even get it out.

718
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: But if you're one of those people with like, yeah,

719
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: I got seventy five K in my uh in my

720
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: dress socks, it's like, yeah, I don't know if that's

721
00:39:46,120 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 1: the best idea, but who knows. Maybe to each his own. Okay,

722
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: let's do a little thing we like to call the

723
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: mail bag at John Middlecoff. At John Middlecoff is the

724
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: Instagram fire in those direct messages to get your questions

725
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,439
Speaker 1: answered here on the show. Sometimes, you know, it gets

726
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: winter months, even though it's kind of sunny, it's kind

727
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: of been dreary around here. You look in when you

728
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: record your podcast, because we also do a video version,

729
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at myself, I'm like, God, I need

730
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: to get some sun. I need to go, just go.

731
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm getting married in a couple weeks. I cannot be

732
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: pasty and pale. I look terrible. I just need to

733
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: get some I need to get some rays. Tried to

734
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: go on a walk yesterday with no hat and just

735
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: get my head, but it got a long way to go.

736
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: So let's start with Dan. Given the t Higgins is

737
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: likely to be tagged by the Bengals, how would you

738
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: attack the Patriots offseason? They have by far the most

739
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: cap space in the league in a high draft position,

740
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: but it seems like a week draft in free agency

741
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: class at wide receiver and no line. What are your thoughts.

742
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: I would be careful. I mean, maybe it turns out

743
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: that way. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe by the time you're

744
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: listening to this, he's been tagged. But let's just let

745
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: everything play out. I think we'll have a lot of

746
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: information over the next week when it comes to tags.

747
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: When it comes maybe extensions, because you can extend your

748
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: own player. I would just I wouldn't get I wouldn't

749
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: have my hopes up and then have them shattered because

750
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: I see a report not saying that he won't. But

751
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: I think these things are very fluid. I just think

752
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: you got to be very careful and listen this Rabel

753
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: and Elliott Wolf, who's a packer guy. You know their

754
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: history is not going crazy in free agency. I mean,

755
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: think about Mike Vrabel's career. For some of you. You

756
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: guys are a little young, hell, I mean, I was

757
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: probably a sophomore in high school when the Patriots signed him.

758
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: But he got drafted in the mid to late nineties,

759
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: and I don't think he ever was a full time

760
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: starter with the Steelers. Belichick just loved his versatility. I

761
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: don't think he costs very much money when they signed

762
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: him in was it two thousand or two thousand and one.

763
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: So I just think sometimes in free agency everyone gets

764
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: so excited about like t Higgins, Like the best free

765
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: agent signings last year were like Zach Bond. You know,

766
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: it's not always some guy that costs a lot of

767
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: money and sometimes the sexiest guys. I remember when the

768
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: Niners they signed Javon Hargrave four years, eighty million, twenty

769
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: a year. It's a disaster. So I think he got

770
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: to be very careful about the excitement level offensive linemen,

771
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: Like you can sign random guys that can be a

772
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: good guard for you. I would just this is not

773
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: baseball where it's like can we get Juan Soda? Can

774
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: we get I saw Vladimir Guerrero Junior turned down whatever

775
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays were offering him, So, like, you know,

776
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: you get guys like that, it's like they're gonna be sweet,

777
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: plug and play. Like you get Kevin Durant and free

778
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 1: agency in his prime or Shack that's not really football.

779
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: It's very rare that, like the best players don't hit

780
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: free agency, like Miles Garrett doesn't hit free agency, Trent

781
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: Williams doesn't hit free agency, you know those, Jamar Chase,

782
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. So now doesn't mean you can't get a

783
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: good player in free agency, but it's it's not fools gold.

784
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: But I think the hype behind it doesn't always equal

785
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: the results. I got a buddy going to Scottsdale for

786
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: spring break, and I was talking to him about your

787
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: pod and stuff to do there. You brought up a

788
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: restaurant one time that you said was kind of a

789
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: hole in the wall, but it had this hangover sandwich

790
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: or something along those lines, and it sounded awesome. Now

791
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: he wants to try it. It was actually a hangover

792
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: burrito and it's called Tom's Thumb. It's a it is

793
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 1: a gas station that also doubles as a barbecue joint.

794
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: And now the barbecue joint was on television for like

795
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: Guy Fury's Triple D and I mean, it's a good

796
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: barbecue joint, but the hangover burrito is just if you're hungover,

797
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: it'd be bombed. I wasn't even hungover, and I ate

798
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: the thing. What do you think teams have to do

799
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: to compete for a championship on paper? He's talking about Seattle.

800
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: We have a talented roster, but it feels like we're

801
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: stuck in quarterback purgatory and continue to be below average

802
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: in the trenches. How does the front office try to

803
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: solve problems when consistently drafting in the middle of the

804
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: first round. You know what, John Schneider has kind of

805
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: turned in Seattle too. And this is a compliment in

806
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers of like they're never gonna suck. They

807
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: just are not going to suck. It's not gonna happen.

808
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: But they're not close to competing for a Super Bowl,

809
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: so it's like they're just drafting from eighteen to twenty

810
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: two every year, maybe as low as like fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,

811
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: but never sniff in the top ten. And I mean,

812
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: look at the last couple years of peat, they were

813
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: winning nine games. Look at this year they went ten

814
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: to seven. What would happen if they rolled back the

815
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: majority of their team they win nine to ten games? Again,

816
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer is. I think you know,

817
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: with Schneider, he's selected so many high end players at

818
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: different positions, He's gonna find talent. I do think at

819
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: quarterback you're gonna have to get a little lucky. You

820
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: got lucky with Russell Wilson got him in the third

821
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: round and he was a star for game. Like, can

822
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: you find your Jalen Hurts Like, to me, that's the question.

823
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,479
Speaker 1: Can you find your version of party? Just a young

824
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: player that you can pivot off Gino and he can

825
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: be a starter that you can build up the team

826
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: with this cheap contract and win around. Like, you're probably

827
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: not going to draft a quarterback in the first round,

828
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: but can you do that with you know, someone a

829
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: little later in the draft. I don't know the answer that. Honestly,

830
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: would you agree that the only reason Jalen Hurts won.

831
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of Jalen won the Super Bowl was because of

832
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: his stacked team. Don't get me wrong, he's a great quarterback,

833
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 1: but he is no Mahomes, Lamar or Alt. Watching Jalen

834
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl is like watching the Ravens win

835
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: the twenty twelve Super Bowl. Joe Flacco is a great quarterback,

836
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: but he was on a very stacked team. Am I

837
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: crazy for thinking this? I think Jalen is much more

838
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 1: impactful than Joe Flacco. Uh, you know, we talked about it. Listen,

839
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: if you're comparing Jalen to Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen,

840
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 1: he's not as good as those players. No one would

841
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: argue that beside Jalen, But like Howie Roseman wouldn't argue that.

842
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: Where Jalen is valuable is he's a dual threat quarterback.

843
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, he threw eighteen touchdowns, but he also ran

844
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: for fourteen and his tush push play like it's him.

845
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people try quarterback sneaks. They don't work.

846
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: The touch push is because his power. We saw Josh Allen,

847
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: who is bigger, stronger than Jalen, couldn't get a yard

848
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. So I pulled up Flaco. In twenty twelve,

849
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco threw twenty two touchdowns and he ran for three,

850
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: which I imagine we're all quarterback sneaks, So he had twenty

851
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: five total touchdowns. Jalen Hurts through eighteen. This year fourteen,

852
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,479
Speaker 1: I think had thirty four touchdowns, so I had nine

853
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: more touchdowns this season. Now where Flacco is pretty special

854
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: is in their Super Bowl run. They played four games. Obviously,

855
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: they went four to hero, they won the Super Bowl.

856
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: He threw eleven touchdowns and no interceptions, so it was like,

857
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: it's like a dude who had a random golf career,

858
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: but like won a major. It's like, remember that time

859
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: he got really hot at the US Open. That was

860
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: kind of Joe Flacco. I think Jalen's a better player

861
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: than Joe Flacco. Right, if you could have twenty five

862
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: year old Jalen Hurts or twenty five year old Joe Flacco,

863
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: you would take Jalen Hurts. Part of Jalen Hurts is

864
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: he's a dual threat player. Now, were there times this

865
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: season when he was not playing well and they still

866
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: won games because of the team, But Jallen played well

867
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl that's the other thing, like Jalen

868
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 1: was not shitty in the Super Bowl. Uh here's my question.

869
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: Now the Super Bowl is over, I have been racking

870
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: my brain on the top five quarterbacks. Top three are

871
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: no brainers. Brady most Rings beat Mahomes Montana four to

872
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: zero in the Super Bowl, and then Mahomes I gotten

873
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: a tie. I got a tie at five with Peyton

874
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: and Elway. Both are elite, but both were not as

875
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: successful as the top three. Peyton kep getting beat by

876
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 1: the Pats and Brady. When he finally got the Super Bowl,

877
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: he faced the fastly inferior Bears team and won the game.

878
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: Elway was getting routed in Super Bowls. It was only

879
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: when he got a stacked team with Mike Shanahan as

880
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: his coach. And I can't think of anyone else. I

881
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 1: would put it four. I got an open slot. Guys

882
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: like ak Ben sacked team, young great player, stacked team,

883
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: only one Super Bowl. Marino probably best pure pastor, but

884
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: only one appearance. Kelly is nice, long question, so thanks

885
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: for reading. Yeah, I wouldn't disagree with you. I would

886
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: I would mix Rogers and farm In there as well.

887
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: Like I think the top five, I think Brady is

888
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: pretty pretty entrenched at one. I think, you know, Mahomes, Manning,

889
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: Montana are kind of all in that that group. I

890
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: think once you get like five to nine, I think,

891
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: I think you can have a lot of arguments. You know,

892
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: l Way, Marino, Farv Rogers, Steve Young. I think Steve

893
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: Young is a better player than Troy Aikman. I wouldn't

894
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: have I don't think many people would have Roy Aikman

895
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: as a top ten quarterback, though he's obviously really good player,

896
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl champ several times over stut I mean legend.

897
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: But I think when you think top when I say

898
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre, I don't think Troy Aikman.

899
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: Hi John loved the pod. I never commented write anything

900
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: over the years, but I felt like this one. I

901
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: felt like this one was a disservice if I did not,

902
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: for the love of God, do not fly to Dubai

903
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: for your honeymoon. That was it was a joke. By

904
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: the way, I was not one. It's not my call.

905
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: Flying over the Mediterranean, all the options of the old

906
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: romantic cities and cobblestone streets that live in women's minds

907
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: to go to some fishing village in a desert converted

908
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: to a city more or less the last century due

909
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: to the oil boom in conservative muzzle of country. On

910
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: a longer flight for not even half the vibe is

911
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 1: not viable. Yeah, the Dubai trip will be John's. She

912
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: she ain't going on hunty moving Dubai. Uh question for

913
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: the pod. I, like so many people, have been a

914
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni hater, but winning the Super Bowl made me

915
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: think of him completely different. To win like this, he

916
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: is consistently for several years. He has consistently won for

917
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: several years. Must be an elite leader of men, because

918
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what else he does. But then I

919
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: see a video on the Eagles YouTube channel of the

920
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: offensive and defensive captains giving speeches the day before the game.

921
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: Almost everyone, even the players like CJ. Gardner Johnson made

922
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: me want to strap up and run through a fucking wall.

923
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: Does it say more about Sirianni that he's a leader,

924
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: or do the Eagles have a better core of leaders

925
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: than all of the NFL?

926
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 5: Follow up?

927
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: Do you remember a locker room speech that stood out

928
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: to you part of building a team, whether you're Bill

929
00:51:54,719 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: Walsh Andy Reid, Belichick or your Nick Sirianni is the

930
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: better players. If your best players are super high character,

931
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: tough football guys, you're gonna have a much higher chance

932
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: to win. So it's like when you see those speeches

933
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: and they were really good. You know, Lane Johns, I

934
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: saw Lane Johnson's, I saw Jalen's. But I think most

935
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 1: times when you get to the Super Bowl, like pretty

936
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: high level dudes on these teams, like this isn't a

937
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: bunch of slappies. Those are on the teams draft in

938
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: the top ten. When you look at the Eagles like

939
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: they got you know, you watch Landon Dickerson and Lane

940
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: Johnson and Jordan Mylotta and Zach Bond and Sakwon and

941
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: Jalen like these are high level cats. You know this

942
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: is not this is not jolly fuck around. Strap it up,

943
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 1: let's play a little ball, like this is a serious

944
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: way of life. And I mean one that stood out

945
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: to me is when the Patriots beat the Ravens in

946
00:52:55,880 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: twenty eleven and Ray Lewis kind of gave this one

947
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: of like Joe Flacco, you do not get to hang

948
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: your head after this loss, because he was a pretty

949
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: polarizing player at the time, and he actually played well

950
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 1: even in the loss. And it's like part of the

951
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: reason the Ravens were good for so long is like,

952
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: look who their best players were. It's like, hello, Di Nada,

953
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: ray Lewis, ed Reid. You know, the Eagles are full

954
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,760
Speaker 1: of like Brandon Graham. The same thing with the Chiefs.

955
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: It's like this isn't you got no chance to be

956
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: good if you don't watch speeches from players in the

957
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: playoffs and go Jesus, this is this is pre I mean,

958
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: I go back to when I was a kid, like,

959
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: think of the best players on the best teams. It's

960
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: like Troy Aigman, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Reggie White. You know,

961
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: it's like Brett fav You watch these guys any NFL

962
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: films clip you like, I want to run through a

963
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: wall for these guys, and I just think it's the

964
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: best teams have the best players who are also the

965
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: best guys. And I want to say best guys. I'm like,

966
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: from a football character standpoint, all in on football means

967
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: everything to them. It's this isn't like I love it

968
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: when people say like this is my profession, not my life.

969
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: Well it kind of is you work way more than

970
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: you around your family and stuff. Obviously your work doesn't

971
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: define you as like a dad or like a family guy.

972
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: But most people I know that are really successful, their

973
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: work is a huge part of their life, and I

974
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: don't want to say defines their life, but is a

975
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 1: huge defining part of just the way they live their life.

976
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: You spend a lot of time doing it, and it's

977
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: always bothers me and we're not that far away when

978
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 1: the media, most of the media, no one successful would

979
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: sign up for their life one. Most don't make that

980
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: much money too. Most, if you follow them on Twitter

981
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: over the years, can be a little miserable and they

982
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: can give, they can't take it. And when the draft

983
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: comes around. They love doing this because players get asked

984
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,399
Speaker 1: like how big of a priority is football to you?

985
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: And teams get uncomfortable when you have like a balanced life. Well, yeah,

986
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna pay a twenty three year old, I

987
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: don't know, twenty million dollars, I would like for football

988
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,720
Speaker 1: to be a pretty big priority for them. Like, sorry,

989
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: call me crazy, that's sorry, I'm asking too much. This

990
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: is not a one hundred thousand dollars a year job,

991
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: like you don't just get to clock in and clock

992
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: out like this, especially quarterbacks, And I would even say

993
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: defensive an offensive lineman, like you better be all in

994
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna need so much physical and mental toughness

995
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: out of you to be a good player. If it's

996
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 1: not a big part of your life, you just won't last.

997
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: It's impossible. The game is just way too hard. And

998
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: the media loves like, oh, why is everyone so obsessed

999
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: with their other interests, because it's hard to have other

1000
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 1: interests during the football season. Not saying that you can't

1001
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: do other stuff, but football takes a large percentage of

1002
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: your time as a player during from August till ideally

1003
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs. Like Patrick Mahomes isn't dicking around that

1004
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: much for the last six months, neither Josh Allen. Maybe

1005
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: around a golf here or there, maybe you know, a

1006
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: date night once a week, but it's not he's not

1007
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: watching Netflix three times, four times a week. It's just

1008
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't have time. He's exhausted. Takes a lot of energy,

1009
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of effort. And I just think

1010
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 1: that that criticism always drives me fucking nuts. Yeah, sorry,

1011
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,439
Speaker 1: I like, I don't want the guy I'm investing in

1012
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: a shitload of money to you know, have seventeen other

1013
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: interests because it just diminishes and takes away your time.

1014
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 1: It just does. Let's face it, I would say people

1015
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: tend to be really good at things, pretty singular focused.

1016
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: As a baseball fan, I feel in recent years there

1017
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 1: has been a resurgence and viewership and attendance at baseball games.

1018
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: Even if stadium hot dogs and beers are overpriced, there's

1019
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: nothing better than taking the family out to a baseball

1020
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:07,919
Speaker 1: game on a summer afternoon. NFL will always be king,

1021
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: but it feels like America's pastime is a comeback, is

1022
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: making a comeback. What say you, Well, I think the

1023
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: biggest brands in the sport are good, so that helps, right.

1024
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: The two biggest brands, the Yankees and the Dodgers, were

1025
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: just in the World Series. So it's like it's if

1026
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: you could pick an ideal matchup in baseball, you would

1027
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: go Yankees Dodgers every single year, every single year. Like

1028
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: in basketball, what would the ideal matchup be? It would

1029
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: actually be the Warriors Lakers. That's what Adam Silver would

1030
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: choose to be as NBA Finals. Obviously it's impossible, but

1031
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: that's what he would choose. Why because the two biggest

1032
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: brands are Curry and Lebron, So I think it has

1033
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: to be a I just think that. I don't know,

1034
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell, you know, it's baseball is much

1035
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: more of a local sport than a national sport, you know,

1036
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: having moved from the Bay Area, where I mean, the

1037
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: Giants have been so bad, but when they're just solid

1038
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: or even good, they're a really big deal. Come to Arizona. Like,

1039
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: I like baseball and I like having it on my background,

1040
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: but like I don't watch any Diamondbacks games where you know,

1041
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: football for example, like I'll watch Cardinal games, I'll I'll

1042
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: watch whatever. I won't watch random teams play baseball. And

1043
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: that's you know, I don't know if that's ever gonna change.

1044
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: But I think the Dodger story is a good one.

1045
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: It really is. People like it's bad for baseball, Well,

1046
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: what's good for baseball? Because what's been happening is not working.

1047
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: So you might as well have a team that's like,

1048
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: couldn't be any more stacked, and have the teams try

1049
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: to beat them, especially you know, the Mets. They have

1050
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: this really famous owner who spending a shitload of money.

1051
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: The Yankees are good Phillies. Try. Yeah, I don't think

1052
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: it can be definitely not a bad thing. It's a question.

1053
00:58:55,560 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: Have I played Sun City and Union Hills in scott

1054
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: Still curious if you had played either course been an

1055
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: absolute grind? I know I've never Honestly, I've never even

1056
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: heard of those enjoy I think he's coming for a

1057
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: bat supporting. It seems like you're not a big baseball

1058
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 1: getting a lot of baseball questions here. Not a big

1059
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: baseball guy, but but that's my favorite sport. My question

1060
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: is do you have any colleagues or guys you listen

1061
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: to in the baseball sphere that have a similar vibe

1062
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: to you? Do you think there's a lot of people

1063
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: putting out content like you do?

1064
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 3: Lol?

1065
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: And aside, I don't know, I can't. I don't even

1066
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: know how to answer that question. I think, let me

1067
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: try to say this in a nice way. I think

1068
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to have a business built around baseball podcasts.

1069
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: Right the reason you see a lot more football podcasts

1070
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: or NBA podcasts, or cultural podcasts or political podcasts. You

1071
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: can build businesses around those, you know, baseball the listenership.

1072
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: I think I heard Portanoy talk about this like a

1073
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: couple of years back about like and they were building

1074
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: their kind of their podcast like the baseball podcast. No

1075
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: one listens, So I think it's more that it's hard

1076
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: for guys to make money on doing that, to have

1077
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 1: a to have an audience. But no, I don't listen

1078
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: to any baseball content in terms of podcasts or YouTube

1079
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: channels or anything. So I'm so I don't know if

1080
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: there's anyone with quote unquote my vibe out there. Hope

1081
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: there is. I hope he's killing it, though, mail Bag,

1082
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: this is the last question. Cam Warden was recently quoted

1083
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: saying he'll remember all the teams that pass on him

1084
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: in the draft and they'll pay the price for not

1085
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: drafting them. I'm a firm believer that humility is what

1086
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: wins in sports, but guys continue to puff their chests

1087
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: out all the time without achieving anything. Whenever I see athletes,

1088
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: especially quarterbacks, make comments like this, I immediately fade them as

1089
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: players who will be successful. I feel like I'm usually

1090
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,959
Speaker 1: right Josh Rosen saying he was gonna win more Super

1091
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Bowls than Brady as a former scout, and someone who's

1092
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: tied to the NFL. What are your thoughts on comments

1093
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: like this, Uh, it's weird, like you do this long enough.

1094
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm kind of numb to him. They don't mean anything

1095
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: to me. They don't like is it false bravado? Yeah, Like, Bro,

1096
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: you're fucking just playing in the ACC. A couple of

1097
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: years ago, you were at incurrent word like, let's not

1098
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: act like you know, you're at Ohio State here kicking

1099
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: everyone's ass. Now you had a good season. I guess along.

1100
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't really care, Like it doesn't bother me, but

1101
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: I think if and I don't know really anything about

1102
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: the guy, but I think if you did a deep

1103
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: dive in people like, hey, he kind of acts. Maybe

1104
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: he's just a little insecure about it. To me, those comments,

1105
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: it's one of those if he becomes a stud player,

1106
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: it looks really good, right, but I don't know what

1107
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: you have to be to gain from it. It's one

1108
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: of those if it does not go well, everyone's ripping

1109
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: you for it. Not that he's thinking about it like that.

1110
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it, like when Brady went up

1111
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 1: to Robert Craft, like during rookie mini camp in the

1112
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: hallway and said, this is the best decision you'll ever make. Well,

1113
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: once he becomes Tom Brady ages pretty well. I bet

1114
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: there have been comments like that from guys that get

1115
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: cut in training camp. You're like, no one ever talks

1116
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,439
Speaker 1: about that, so anytime you do this, I mean, part

1117
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: of it is he's a big, big star. Honestly, every

1118
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: comment I've seen from Shador, just in regards to where

1119
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: he gets drafted, you know how he doesn't view it

1120
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: as a competition between him and cam Ward. I actually

1121
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 1: think has been pretty high level. I haven't really seen

1122
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 1: anything from cam Ward beside the you know, I'm gonna

1123
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: make them pay. It's like, bro, let's just let's just

1124
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: fucking get drafted first. I'm with you. That's where I'm

1125
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: inclined to be. But ultimately it doesn't impact anything. Like

1126
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: what's gonna impact him? Is he good? Can he run

1127
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 1: an offense? How hard does he work? Does? Like? Because

1128
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 1: physically he's pretty gifted. I mean that there's like he's

1129
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: much more gifted than Shador. Like physically he is a

1130
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: legit top ten prospect. And just in terms of like

1131
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: physical qualities, Now, is he a good player? You know,

1132
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I probably have to watch a little more.

1133
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: I didn't watch that much Miami. Their their games were

1134
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: just complete shootouts. I did watch a little of the

1135
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: cow game when he came starring back. He makes some

1136
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: sweet plays. I mean he's overall, though, I think you've

1137
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: got to be very careful about. One thing I've learned

1138
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: when I worked in it and even doing this is

1139
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: making with talented players. You know, like, I'm out on

1140
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: this guy, right, because like, you can't. You can't pigeonhole

1141
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: yourself to a position that's like, well, like what if

1142
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: he matures, what if he gets better? If he just

1143
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 1: has an awful attitude and thinks he's way better than

1144
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: he is, like he's gonna have problems. But what if

1145
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: it's just a young guy? I mean, how old's Kim

1146
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: Wore twenty two years old? Some people say dumb stuff.

1147
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: He's twenty two years old, right, So I guess it's

1148
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: a long winded way of saying, like, yeah, I would

1149
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: recommend like, hey, just just try to say the right

1150
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 1: stupid cliche bullshit before you're drafted and then just you

1151
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: can say whatever you want. But I would just just chill. Uh.

1152
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: But it's clearly not the tact he's taken again. If

1153
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: he's good, it'll be a legendary comment and whatever teams.

1154
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: If he ends up going like fifth or seventh or

1155
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: eighth and bunch of teams fast on him, we'll talk

1156
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: about it forever. If he sucks, we actually won't talk

1157
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: about it that much because we just won't talk about

1158
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: him that much. It just you just kind of be irrelevant.

1159
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: The volume
