1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast, as the Complete Northern Exposure

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: box said, Welcome to another edition of the Around the

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis. I come to

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: you from the virtual room filled with some eros, Mark Sessler,

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal. You know, if you're a fan of the

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: show and you know the history of the show, paying attention.

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: Over the last month or so, all of our money

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: drops have been Chris Westling themed um our good friend

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: who passed away UH February five and Northern Exposure. West

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean as a as as Mark Sessler would say

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: wrote c poems about Northern Exposure, and he said it

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: was one of the truly greatest um television television programs.

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: I believe it was like a half drama, half comedy.

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: I never saw it. It It was a CBS show, and

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever watched the show on

16
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: CBS that wasn't Sport or sixty minutes and a Northern

17
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: Exposure was the show that was so near and dear

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: to West's heart. And because of that I have wanted

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: to watch it um even even before West past it was.

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: It piqued my curiosity because West has such great taste

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: and pop culture. Um. However, it's one of those shows

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: that never pops up and you can never find it um.

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: So it remains a bit of a mystery. But I

24
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: believe a listener at some point sent West the full

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: box set or it was some type of ripped off

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: somewhere of Northern Exposure. So I guess there's a big

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: underground contingent for that program. I think it's got It's

28
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: a definitely a cult hit. I used to watch it periodically,

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: but I I like Wes was a true expert, but

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: it was it took place, you know, in a small

31
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: little town, very quirky. I think there was the main

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Carolasta yeah, in a radio show, among other things. Um.

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: But I don't want to do the memory of it wrong,

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: but I do think the box set came there was

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: there was some sort of marketing um distribution snag with

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: Northern Exposure, so it's hard to obtain and sound Yeah,

37
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: they can't get the rights to the soundtrack. Well, I

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: I was just it's funny. I was just thinking about

39
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: this last week for some reason, about Northern Exposure. It's

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: because it was like West's life in some way before

41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: it happened. I don't know, if he watched it before

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: it happened. But it's like Tybee was his Alaska, his

43
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: when I went, when we went down there and I

44
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: met his totally diverse and um wacky group of friends

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: which all had their own little flavor, Like that was

46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: the northern exposure. The guy in the show is like

47
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: the fish out of town and he ends up having

48
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: a radio show. There's a little bit of west too.

49
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean that didn't happen until l A, but it

50
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: was like he loved collecting characters, and I think that's

51
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: what that show was all about, everyone kind of doing

52
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: their own thing, you know, our our deep Hollywood connection.

53
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Mike berk Awitz, if you're listening, Burke uh and I

54
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: know you know you don't typically work in a television realm,

55
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: but this sounds like a television show. Idea said it

56
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: in Tybee. Maybe we start maybe it's our chance at

57
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: a star vehicle in primetime, and just thrown it out

58
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: there as an option. There's something to think about. The

59
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: NFL fires US and we all Our backup plan is

60
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: a sitcom on CBS UM speaking of the Westlings, Phil Westling,

61
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: all the Westling boys that we've met, our stand up dudes,

62
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: and you know, a little left of center themselves, some

63
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: of them, you know, quirky characters and interesting people. Uh.

64
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: Nick Wesley, of course, was on the show, another Westling brother,

65
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: talking trash about cornhole. I wasn't too impressed when I

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: when I took him on in Tybee, and I hope

67
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: to have a rematch when we get back to Tybee.

68
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: And then we kind of wiped the floor with you.

69
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I have to be I have to you know,

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: it's not really how I remember it personally, but you know,

71
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: opinions vary, I guess, or facts vary. The score I mean,

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: the scoreboard does not disagree. I mean, it was here's

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: the thing, and you know, let's stick a pin in it,

74
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: because I'd rather have Nick here to talk about it.

75
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: But we did this hype up to the big corn

76
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: hole match, and then it was on the day of

77
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: West's wedding, and like we were wearing tuxedos and stuff.

78
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: It's like, no, no, I want to have a couple

79
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: of drinks. I want to be loose. Let's do this

80
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: the right way. I thought that Nick kind of he

81
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: set that up in a certain way that would benefit

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: him anyway. That's for another conversation. Phil Westling text me yesterday,

83
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: Hey check this out, sends me a link. He knows

84
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: that we are junkies for sports media. Uh, and he

85
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: sends me a link to the great Andrew Marshaan to

86
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: the New York Post, who's their media critic, Drew Brees.

87
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Addition means end is near for current Sunday Night Football booth.

88
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: Hello cat Nip for the A t N podcast. So

89
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: he had to send out the old A t N

90
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: bat signal to get Andrew back on the show for

91
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: a return engagement, and he will join us a little

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: bit later. But before that, let us get to the

93
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: latest news in NFL free agency. Let's start again. There's

94
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 1: some name brands that are out there that you would

95
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: think I would, Oh, they would, they would come off

96
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: the board immediately, but whether it be age or the

97
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: market not being what they want, they remained on the

98
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: board longer than you expected. One of those people, Patrick Peterson,

99
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: the former All Pro with the Arizona Cardinals who's been

100
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: a little up and down in recent years. He is

101
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: now joining a new team. It's the Minnesota Vikings on

102
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: a one year deal. So Peterson gets a fresh start

103
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: after I think it was close to a decade in

104
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: the desert Um and Greg will start here, is he

105
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: is this this version of Patrick Peterson and it feels

106
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: like he's Oh, he's thirty five and this is the

107
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: end of the road. No, he's thirty years old. He's

108
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty one one week one hits. Is he

109
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: a big upgrade to Minnesota Secondary or a question mark?

110
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: He's a question mark. The price tag indicates they think

111
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: he's a big upgrade. They didn't have much there last year.

112
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: They went really and it didn't work. That was the

113
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: weakness of their entire team, I would say, more than

114
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: anything was their cornerbacks. Mike Zimmer is kind of the

115
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: veteran cornerback Svengali he gets. He got Terrence Newman to

116
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: keep playing until he was thirty nine. Like He's helped

117
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: a lot of defensive back. That's what I think of

118
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: when I think of Mike Zimmer. So it's a great

119
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: fit for Patrick Peterson. Maybe the the role is somehow

120
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: um better there for him. But he's a guy who

121
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, was on the Hall of Fame path still

122
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: has a chance I think a solid one UM. But

123
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: because he was that number one cornerback. He he was

124
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: like left to do a lot in Arizona, and if

125
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: you watch the Cardinals, you gotta be real he was

126
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: getting lit up quite a bit. I mean, he struggled,

127
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: and the PF grades certainly reflect that he was asked

128
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: to do more. But he was getting lit up the

129
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: last two years and he got suspended during that that stretch,

130
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: which is not a great a great thing. If you

131
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: look at every Mike Zimmer cornerback room and he's had

132
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: a lot of stops before Minnesota too, that there were

133
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: always one or two older veterans who were like awesome

134
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: leaders and kind of set the tone, and they had

135
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: their room is really young. I mean member last year

136
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: they wiped out that entire group and started over essentially.

137
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: So if anything, maybe it's a come in like make

138
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: sure these guys are doing their work right and maybe

139
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: we got a good year out of you. But I

140
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: think it's a question mark for sure. I agree with Greg.

141
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: He has a chance now on the one year deal

142
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: to to rejuvenated career. Maybe. So it's one of those

143
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: changes scenery things we'll see um or is at the

144
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: beginning of the end. Uh. In other news, the Washington

145
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Football team continues to make moves. They have Ryan Fitzpatrick

146
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: locked and loaded as their Week one starter. Most likely

147
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: we'll see I hope the old rug doesn't get pulled

148
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: out on fitz magic. Uh. And now they have a

149
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: great weapon added to the mix. They signed Curtis Samuel

150
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: formally of the Pathers three years, thirty four and a

151
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: half million. Twenty four and a half of that is guaranteed,

152
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: So I'll say it's a two year deal for twenty

153
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: four and a half million. I think that's right. Um,

154
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: all right, so this, uh, this is a good this

155
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: is a good one mark for Washington. A team that

156
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: needs juice, they need you know, we all know what's

157
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball and and there's

158
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot of potential there. And we actually saw that

159
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: pidential uh come to life during their run to the playoffs.

160
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: It was a limp to the playoffs, but they got

161
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Now we're starting to see some pieces

162
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: on offense to make this team more interesting. I think

163
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: it's one of the teams that you just feel differently

164
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: about where from where we were a week ago. And

165
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's Ryan Fitzpatrick and maybe that's a

166
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: one year thing. But Ryan Fitzpatrick kind of fits with

167
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel, who you know, when Cam Newton was in Carolina,

168
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: they kind of struggled to get Curtis Samuel lit up.

169
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: Joe Brady shows up last year and they used him

170
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: really well. And he was the only wide receiver in

171
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: the league or player in the league with eight hundred

172
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: yards receiving two hundred on the ground. He was a

173
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: jet suite master that used him in the backfield a bunch.

174
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: But now he goes back to Young Turner Scott Turner,

175
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: who maybe didn't use him as well in Carolina. So

176
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: my question is ken Ron Rivera and Scott Turner learned

177
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: from what Joe Brady and the Panthers did last year.

178
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got Terry McLaurin there. I think Logan

179
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: Thomas is really interesting, Cam Sims, Antonio Gibson. So you

180
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: can start to see, for the first time in a

181
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: really long time, an interesting offensive course starting to build.

182
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: And I love this edition. Who named him young Turner?

183
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: Was that Michael keep to Leab during one of his Yeah,

184
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: he's just odd, that makes sense. I'm I'm excited to

185
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: watch the Washington football team for the first time. Okay,

186
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know when have I ever

187
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: been excited? You've not been their ally. I mean I

188
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: have long said on this show, like thirty fan bases

189
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: are like, you hate my you know you hate my team,

190
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: you hate my team. And I'm like, well you're you're

191
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: all wrong, Um except for Washington. Now you're right. I

192
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: do Uh. I do not like your team just in general,

193
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: just how it was run, and it's been tough to watch.

194
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: It's like a one to punch um but out fits

195
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: Magic McLaurin. I love Gibson, I love I did like

196
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: watching them last year because I thought the defense was

197
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: fun and they were starting to get things going, but

198
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: they were really limited at quarterbacks. And now you get Fitzpatrick,

199
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: gets Samuel, who has a lot of fun to watch,

200
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: uh used as a running back and stuff. You think

201
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: turn it will do that quite a bit like this

202
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: will be good. You got you got like two guys.

203
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about it with Gibson and Samuel,

204
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: who can basically play two positions if you want. I

205
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: stated definitively last week on this podcast that I will

206
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: not be picking the Dallas Cowboys to win the division.

207
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: And I was worried about this possibility of August rolling

208
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: around and all the other teams potentially sucking. But after

209
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: the Fitzpatrick move, after the Samuel move, I am starting

210
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: to feel um good about the idea of picking another

211
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: team in the division with some level of confidence. I

212
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: like the Washington football team. And on the subject of that,

213
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: a little quiet on the name change front. I don't

214
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: know was the plan that for the season that they

215
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: would have. Yeah, I thought they're gonna work shop it

216
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: and not. The whole point is, don't rush this later early, No,

217
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: but I don't we I feel like we all kind

218
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: of agreed that they kind of stumbled into it. There's

219
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: no other word for they stumbled into beautiful uniforms. And

220
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm kind of cool with the football team. That's what

221
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: they gotta do. This happening here, right, They gotta do

222
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: it this offseason. That the timing of it might be,

223
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, April, May, June, but you gotta do it

224
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: by then or it's too late. That I have a

225
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: theory if it's gonna happen, it will happen right ahead

226
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: of the draft, because it's all about selling merch and showcasing,

227
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: and you want your you know, draft pick to come

228
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: up on the stage with rog and and you want

229
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: to have that new logo and all that stuff locked

230
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: and loaded. But if you don't see that, I would

231
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: wonder if there are serious internal conversations about them staying

232
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: with Washington football team, which I know that's buzzy to say,

233
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: just keep it. I'm fine with that too, But you know,

234
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: I also don't mind. I like uniformity when it's in

235
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: terms of every team in the league. They gotta where

236
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: they're from. They got the nickname. Now, oh you're special

237
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: because you had an offensive nickname. Now you get to

238
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: be special. No, go find something new. I've come down

239
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: on the other side. Sessler. Sorry, no, I just like

240
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: they don't don't. I don't want, you know, seven months

241
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,479
Speaker 1: from now them rolling out with new fangled, bizarre, insane

242
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: uniforms with like different shades on the helmet. It was

243
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: just very sparse, um in old school the way they

244
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: were last year. That's what I'm lobbying for. The name.

245
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: Do what you need. It's like, let's cheer on the

246
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: Washington Red Rockets. It's like, come on and don't hit

247
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: me up on Twitter. People are like, oh, you say

248
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: it's offensive. I don't say it's offensive. People thought it was.

249
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: That are in the Native American community. So just that's

250
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: the way it is, and you just got to adjust

251
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: and move on. That case is closed. Move forward, right,

252
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: that one, that one's over. You lost, You lose forward alright.

253
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: Uh speaking of the Panthers, good signing here, Hassan Reddick,

254
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: the former Cardinal, signs a one year, six million dollar contract. Now,

255
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: I find the way things tend to work in the

256
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: NFL in this time of year is if you get

257
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: if you're a guy that's coming off a double digit

258
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: sack season, you set yourself up very well to get

259
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: a big, fat contract. Reddick's coming off a thirteen sack season. Yes,

260
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: I understand, I believe five would were in one game.

261
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: But that is a breakout season by really any standard

262
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: you'd think. But the contract tells you that the people

263
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: around the league, uh or around the NFL, we're not

264
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: necessary or our league, we're not necessarily sold on Reddick

265
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: Reddick as a star. Um, that's what this contract tells me. Greg. Yeah,

266
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: I think it's like the start of phase two of

267
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: free can see all those edge rushers got similar contracts,

268
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: and that was the demarcation line. It makes me feel good.

269
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean not to make it all about me, but

270
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: it's about I. I put Reddick well below all those

271
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: guys too on my rankings. I was like, am I

272
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: am I sleeping everyone down on this guy because I

273
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: saw because I saw other you know, I saw the

274
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: athletic are good friend Shield Capatti, who I think is

275
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm really good at doing this stuff. And his picks,

276
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: by the way, oh my gosh, he like picked like

277
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: sevent against the spread or something wild last year, so

278
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: all credited immediately infatuated. I'm just saying, I'm trying before

279
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: I bury him for having Reddick way too high, because

280
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: he was because he was kind of a problem for

281
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: four years he was they didn't know what to do

282
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: with him. He was a little bit of a bust.

283
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: And you have one year that pops up out of nowhere.

284
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, the Cardinals didn't seem that

285
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: interested in signing him. I was just I wanted to

286
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: see it again before before you give it to him,

287
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: just because he was used differently. Last year he had

288
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: like fifty six pressures, and he had fifty seven the

289
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: whole rest of his career, and I guess it's you know,

290
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones is out of the mix, so your role

291
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: is gonna change. But I mean that's maybe it's about

292
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: using it well. But I'm not surprised he didn't get

293
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: some sort of mega contract. So here's my point. Then

294
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: if I'm not being clear enough, or maybe I was

295
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: and now I'm just talking too much. But Trey Hendrickson,

296
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's kind of under the radar for

297
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: a few years. He has a breakout here. I think

298
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: he had thirteen sacks for the Saints. He gets a

299
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Tier one deal, Reddick, same type of deal. I know

300
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: he was more of a premium draft pick, but that

301
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: might even help his case that he was premium draft stock.

302
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: He has his breakout year in a walk year, He'sn'tier two.

303
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't know it's fair. I think Hendrickson personally, I

304
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: always liked him before um I think he was better

305
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: as a reserve player, uh than people realize. He just

306
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: was only playing three under four undred snaps. But he

307
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: he reminded me more of a Shack Barrett Um, which

308
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: just like never got the chance as much in New Orleans,

309
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: but always looked good when he got it. Have you

310
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: ever heard of. There's a theory in the you know

311
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: n b A. I'm forgetting the name here, but it's

312
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: essentially like if you're a reserve like the Numbers show,

313
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: if you're a reserve that put up good numbers. If

314
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: you give the guy more minutes, he usually puts up

315
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: the good numbers. You know, Greg dealing with your addiction

316
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: in your past when it matters of the desert, when

317
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: you see someone there was no addiction, there is a

318
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: to when you see someone like sheel Um hit se

319
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: against It probably wasn't seventy by the way by the

320
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: end of the year, because that would be outrageous. But

321
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: I was just puffing him up alop. He was very ageous.

322
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: He was outrageous. He was he was great, He did

323
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: very well. Does that is that a trigger for you

324
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: a little bit? Like maybe there is a way to

325
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: master this realm, Maybe that I should be at the

326
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: end of casino out there with the big thick bottle

327
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: glasses like that's my future. You could topple the odds

328
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: in a way because you see someone else, a contemporary

329
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: doing you must vanquish him. That you It gets your

330
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: motor going. You're furious you're complimenting him, an we're probably not. Like,

331
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: if you made it your whole thing, maybe it'd be

332
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: possible to have some advantage over time. I guess I would,

333
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: just I would want to see it over five years.

334
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: A year is nothing, you know what I mean? Like

335
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: anyone can pop, You could pop for a year, and

336
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: to me, like having an advantage would mean like hitting

337
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: what fifty eight maybe percent over if you could hit

338
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: fercent over a five year period like great or sixty,

339
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: like you would never expect that to continue if he

340
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: did it year after year. A year is almost nothing

341
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: in in a sample size. Is Gregg is broadcasting to

342
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: us that he would like to spend the next let's

343
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: cut it. I'm saying it's not. It's not worth it

344
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: because it's it's you know, almost entirely luck. And it's

345
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: not where the juice isn't worth a squeeze unless unless

346
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: you had so much, right, but unless you have like

347
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: an exorbitant amount of money to put into this, and

348
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: you're willing to do it over like a ten year period,

349
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, no, it wouldn't be worth

350
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: it because I think you might lose it the next year,

351
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: all right, let me give you one before we move on.

352
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: Let me give you one hypothetical. Okay, I can I

353
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: can see TC right now. Cut that check to you,

354
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: or promise you a scenario in which, from this point onward,

355
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: from your age forty one, for age forty two, life two,

356
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: whenever it comes to a close, you can hit on

357
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: six of your picks, sixty six. I'll give you sixty

358
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: of your picks. You're taking the s Are you walking

359
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: into the great unknown knowing that two out of three

360
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: of your picks will always be right and you can

361
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: do whatever. It's not the great unknown. You just told

362
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: me two out of three picks are right. If somehow

363
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: I know that's right, you take that, because that's infinite.

364
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: You don't know when you don't know much of those

365
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: three is wrong. I guess is another way of putting it.

366
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: So it's not a slant. It's not bif finding the

367
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: sports almanacing back to the future too. But it feels

368
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: like you're potentially in a big spot. The numbers are

369
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: on your side, So I'm taking the two out of three.

370
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's just math, right there. Give me

371
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: a half a mill uh. In other news, Kyle Long

372
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: retired unretired now signs with the Chiefs. Who mark the

373
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs really wanted to remake their offensive line and free agency. Uh,

374
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: they did not get Trent Williams, their number one target

375
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: at left tackle. They did not get Rodney Hudson, the

376
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: center that was eventually traded to Arizona. Uh. They do

377
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: get Kyle Long. How much of a concern is this, Mr.

378
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: Sessler that the Chiefs uh cut their tackles last week.

379
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: They don't necessarily hit it out of the park here.

380
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: Uh in the free agency portion of the off season,

381
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: and you have the you know, greatest player in the

382
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: league behind the potentially leaky offensive line. I think it's

383
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: like in terms of March concerns in March narratives. It

384
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: is because we're fresh off of watching what happened to

385
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: the most exciting offense in the NFL without those two tackles,

386
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: And you know, there is a guy like Orlando Brown

387
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: Junior sitting out there who wants to play left tackle

388
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: on the Ravens and wants a trade. Um, there is

389
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: the draft, but Daniel Jeremiah, UM, and I do Dan,

390
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: I do trust what he has to say about the

391
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: tackle position in the funding draft. Well, I'm just telling

392
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: you that last year, a lot of teams fixed the

393
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: problems at the tackle position in the draft. It was

394
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: one of the better ones. Ever that's not the case

395
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 1: this time. So you know there is concern and like

396
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: you're not gonna You're not gonna find a better version

397
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: of what Mitchell Schwartz was two seasons ago. Um, but

398
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: I do wonder, like, would they ever resign Mitchell Schwartz

399
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: if he stays out there at a reduced cost because

400
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: he's coming off surgery, And it's like maybe they just

401
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: wanted to say, let's reset the board. You might be

402
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: back with us, And then you're looking for one guy

403
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: could be Orlando Brown Jr. Could be a draft pick.

404
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: I wouldn't panic, but I mean, you don't want to

405
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: be a team looking for two tackles because finding one

406
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: is hard enough, right. I think they they've had a

407
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: terrible week. They got Tuny. You paying a guard that

408
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: much money coming from New England, it has some level

409
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: of risk based on the precedent, and I think Hudson

410
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: or Trent Williams would have been major gets, even better

411
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: gets than Tuney. And you went hard after him. You

412
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: were ready to pay Trent Williams, according to reports, you know,

413
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: basically the highest paid attack on the league. I think

414
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: they probably had that in their mind when they cut

415
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: Fisher in Schwartz and I'm with you Mark, I think

416
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: cutting Schwartz and Fisher for that matter, although he might

417
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: not be ready all season, they probably were thinking on

418
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: some level, if we swing and miss and we still

419
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: have cap space, like that is a potential route we

420
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: can go. But Swartz it sounds like, may not play.

421
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: You know, he he's deciding whether he's gonna play. And

422
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Long was great, but he also hasn't been really

423
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Long in about three years. Even the year he

424
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: set out, there were two years before that where he

425
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: wasn't really healthy. Meanwhile, on the Throne of Sleeves, Kyle

426
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: van Nooy is coming back to town about that you

427
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: gotta get the Pats back in the show's minutes, Uh

428
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: Kyle van Noy the outside linebacker. Who oh who ouch.

429
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: I guess this means that Cam Newton failed Bill Belichick

430
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: in that scenario. I think about some ownership mean they

431
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: can't I mean, they can't take away At this point,

432
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: I still am surprised that people aren't like just lying

433
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: back and being like, who, We're fine? What more do

434
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: you want? What more do you want? Remember that old

435
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons tromp. It's like, oh, you can't complain about

436
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl away five years? I say, we trust them.

437
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: How great for our planet? Reaching back into the greatest

438
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: hits Rosa bo that's Lakisha saying, how great for our planet?

439
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Greg, I don't even rebe he at this point.

440
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: This annoys me by the way I do. Like getting

441
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: Vanoi back though, that's let me, let me, let me

442
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: help you with the trainer. Thought you were defending Bill Belichick. No, no,

443
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: I was saying this. I was saying, like, calm down

444
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: with like they need. There's no disaster at this point.

445
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: You just watch the greatest run in football history, like

446
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: you're logical that you know that not all Pats fans

447
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: are like that, and expectations. The expectations are through the

448
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: roof now, which seems stupid to me. To me, there's

449
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: still like a nine and seven team over under at Yeah,

450
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: it doesn't make me think they're like some world beaters,

451
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: but that is not going to be the belief you're

452
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: which just it's not how it works. And I went

453
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: to school in Boston, so I have a lot of

454
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: Boston friends, and like, man, the Patriots became the Yankees.

455
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: And the thing about being a fan of a team

456
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 1: like that is you don't ever say, oh, man, I

457
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: really appreciate what happened there. And now I can just

458
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: sit back and and you know, look at all my

459
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: old you know, game programs, and and my replica championship

460
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: ring that I've odd and my I'm gonna wear my

461
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady jersey for the next thirty years and just

462
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: be happy it happened. Uh, that's not really how it works.

463
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: You just want more. It's the disease of more. I'm

464
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: trying to I'm trying to disconnect. It's like partly just

465
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: our job. It's like I'd rather just root for football

466
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 1: and not have any stress on send the good thing.

467
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: I know, the Yankees fan, you are. You are fine

468
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: at this point to take your foot off the pedal

469
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: and have them coast to the mediocrity hanging around you

470
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: whenever like a Yankees game is on. You're not plugged

471
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: in what I'm saying. I'm like, I'm one of those people.

472
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you do you don't The Yankees have won

473
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: one World Series in the last eighteen years. Uh, they're

474
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: they're always competitive, but that's not enough. Once you get

475
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: to the mountaintop and you stay there for a while,

476
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: it's like anything. It's a bit of a sneaky curse

477
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: and no one's that are ever gonna feel bad for you.

478
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: But you don't get to enjoy your team in the

479
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: same way you once did. It's definitely different, I would say.

480
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: With the most annoying aspect to this is that the

481
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: Patriots are because he went to the Dolphins cal Vannoy

482
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: a year ago on a massive contract and got cut.

483
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: They are about they getting a fourth round camp pick

484
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: for Kyli van Noy, who is now back on the team.

485
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: It's like Hugh Jackson trading great Carson Palmer and then

486
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: going back to the Bengals with the draft picks he

487
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: got from trading for Carson Palmer from the Raiders. It's

488
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: just like backwater nonsense. Their defense, to me is the

489
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: bigger key they got, you know, and it's so hard

490
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: to predict. But they're adding van Noy and High Tower

491
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 1: and Jude On and they're still pretty very thin at

492
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, but they've got a good looking secondary on paper,

493
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: That to me is the key because they were really

494
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: mediocre to bad last year. And if you have a

495
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: top eight or nine Belichick in type defense, you've got

496
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: a shot. But but that's a I don't know, I

497
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: gotta see it first. The case for Belischick being a

498
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: little bit on tilt is that drafting two tight ends

499
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: in the third round last year and then signing two

500
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: tight ends too massive contracts this year. That shows you

501
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: something's going on, something's percolating. Whether you want to say

502
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: it's a good thing or a bad thing. It's very interesting.

503
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: I think they're there. Interesting organizations are bad also one

504
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: year and listen, we we said it at nauseam, not

505
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: just us, everyone in the football Gagnans and Day. Last

506
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: year was a disaster for being a rookie coming into

507
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: this league. You didn't get an off season program, you

508
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: didn't have training camp, you didn't have free season games.

509
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: You get dropped into to use a warz and you

510
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: get dropped right into the ship. And now we're writing

511
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: off those guys. I don't know, I'm not I'm not writing,

512
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: but I I got you. But they're they were also

513
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: what drafted outside like the top ninety or eighty fives

514
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: or whatever, and it's like, Okay, those guys might not

515
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: work out. It's like, um, you know, Rob Gronkowski was

516
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: a late second round pick, Aaron Hernandez was a fourth

517
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: round pick. You you needed to wait about one week

518
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: of training camp to realize those guys were the real deal.

519
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: And it's it's sometimes in covering the sport, like the

520
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: coal posts move with with something like a third round pick.

521
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's treated as well, it's you know, it's like

522
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: a top one or right around their pick. Then some

523
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: of the times it's like championship teams are built on

524
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: third round picks. Like I don't know what to believe sometimes, right,

525
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: but here I give you an example, like, so the

526
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: Panthers get Jimmy Clawson and say he's our starter, and

527
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: then a year later you realize this is not gonna

528
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: work and we have a chance to get Cam Newton.

529
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 1: What is do you stick to philosophy where you're like, no,

530
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: let's be, let's be and stick to Jimmy Clawson. I

531
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: mean he's feel like that's a little different. I mean

532
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: that's what they spent a two They spent a full

533
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: year with these two tight ends who probably flopped on

534
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: some level behind the scenes, or just aren't going to

535
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: be who they want to be. So it's like you

536
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: upgrade and Bill Belichick is sort of micro dosing this

537
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: week and going insane. So I do appreciate Market is

538
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: kind of in on the Patriots. Now. This is a

539
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: nice turn. It's to two to one here. I don't think, well,

540
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you've been paying attention. Mark has always

541
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: had a Belichick going back to the brown stuff a

542
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: little bit. Although I should note Mark, he never wrote

543
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: you back the great piece you wrote, the Belichick letters.

544
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: All the man had to do is write you back

545
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: after you wrote that incredible piece on the dot com. Well,

546
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: and maybe you should join me on the dark side.

547
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to write a media member back. He

548
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: wrote me when I was like a young naive. But

549
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: I would say, also, Dan, I have been on your

550
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: side on the Belichick is quietly furious about what happened

551
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. I do believe that. But now that

552
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots are a little they look more like the

553
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: Browns of the nineties, you know, with Belichick, like they're

554
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: they're not the world beaters, even if they wind up

555
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: having a good season or whatever, it'll be like a weird,

556
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: ugly scrap now marks back in Because of that, they're

557
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: not like the dynastic, dynastic Patriots. One of the best, uh,

558
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: one of the best face turns, I'll call it, in

559
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: the history of this podcast is when the Patriots got

560
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, and West, who had long carried the water

561
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: up and down the hill for Belichick and the Patriots, uh,

562
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: turned on the on in such a way. It brought

563
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: me so much joy to have Wes on my side

564
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: for that period and he never really did make peace

565
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: with Belichick, uh for the rest of his time on

566
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: the show. That really really got in West's crawl and

567
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: to me, when I think back of you know, some

568
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: great back and force in history of the show when

569
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: the passion was turned to eleven or maybe even too

570
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: high West turning on Belichick over Antonio Brown signing is

571
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty high up there, and like so many things,

572
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: he had great instincts. I do I and he didn't

573
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: get a lot of argument either that it was a

574
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: It was an embarrassing moment for them, and I think

575
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: it was a real turning point for what was the

576
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: final season of Tom Brady there. I know they won

577
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of games after that, and then you know,

578
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: they ended up winning twelve. But it really was it

579
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: was it put up a total black mark on Tom

580
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: Brady's last season and helped to end that. I think

581
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: he was right on point that commentary. What's uppen? Was

582
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: that what you were saying back then, I was saying

583
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: I was hoping for the best, but uh, I mean

584
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: he was in and out in like two weeks. Uh No, Well,

585
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: I was saying that this is kind of an embarrassment.

586
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: But you know, there weren't any Antonio Brown defenders, and

587
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: I would say that like two years ago, at this time,

588
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: we were saying what a great job the Raiders did

589
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: by signing Antonio Brown and how it was going to

590
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: make a market difference, and this was the John Gruden offense.

591
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: We're waiting for. Free agency is an absolute ghost. I mean,

592
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: two years later, look where we are. It's it's beyond abserdain.

593
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: So I want to push back. Actually, we're gonna talk

594
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: maybe on this on the broadcast. I was thinking about

595
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: it's like people also need to calm down on the

596
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: like spinning free agency like never works. No, But you

597
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: know what, because now I'm seeing that no, I'm seeing

598
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: that tweet. Those tweets are now starting to pop up.

599
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: The new it's the new, like the new wave of

600
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: coolness on Twitter is like, actually, let's be real. Free

601
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: agency does help some teams. And it's like, alright, there's

602
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: no there's one way to do anything. It's like there

603
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 1: are a million different ways, but you can't deny that.

604
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: The e is the Rams, the painting, the Bucks and

605
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs got a lot of their best players by

606
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: spending a lot in free agency. So like it, it's

607
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: a part of it. There's like no one right way

608
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: to skin the cat. All right, let's hit pause on

609
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: the news and welcome in a very special guest. And

610
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: here he is, Yes, he is, uh The New York Post,

611
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: Secret Weapon and all things sports media related. Andrew Marshawn

612
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: joins us now to talk about and I'll just again,

613
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read the headline again because I love it, Saucy.

614
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't think Andrew wrote the headline, but whoever did

615
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: it captured it nicely. Drew Brees edition means end is

616
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: near for current Sunday Night football booth motto. Okay, so

617
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: you've got al Michael seventy six years old. You've got

618
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: Chris collins Worth in there, locked and loaded. But Drew

619
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: Brees retires, Andrew he's knocking on the door now he's

620
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: already in the house. And of course Mike Rico as well.

621
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: How is this gonna shake out? Well, how exactly will

622
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: shake out is still to be determined. But I mean

623
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: when you look at it, Tariko came over five years

624
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: ago and when he did, uh, he had Thursday Night football,

625
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: so he thought he'd did Thursday night. Al would do something. Now,

626
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: I used to be able to do the NFL still

627
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: along with the Olympics, and you know, the big money

628
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: got um about what happened. NBC lost three night and

629
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: when they had it the first year, Roger Goodell wanted

630
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: uh the eighteen to do it. So even though Trico

631
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: had done Monday night football, they still have al do it.

632
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: And then the next year Toriko got to do then

633
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: that way, Wait, so he's been waiting to replace Alico's

634
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: who's still uh not the best, one of the best

635
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: uh play by players even at seven six years old.

636
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: Uh So to Rico's win meeting and al contracts up

637
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: at the end of this year. After the Super Bowl,

638
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: which is in loss able to be a storybook ending,

639
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: except there's no inclination to be my spoken to that.

640
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: Michaels wants to retire. Now he comes in. He's gonna

641
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: work with Tariko on Notre Dame football. He's going to

642
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: do the pregame show on Sunday night with my Trico.

643
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: Um So, NBC had a conference called on on Wednesday. Uh,

644
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, nothing to see here. Everything slight. I wrote

645
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: about last year when I had the breeze going NBC

646
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: story about this, Um, you know now it's even closer

647
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: and how exactly they could I'll get another one year deal.

648
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: It's possible. But I do think Riego's knocking on that door,

649
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: a little impatient, wants to get in there. Um, but

650
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: I doesn't want to go anywhere. Collins a lot of

651
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: different opinions that you know how good he is, but

652
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: he's very established. Um, Andrews don't know what he is.

653
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: But that's their next generation. It's obvious, is the plan.

654
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean that there's no question about. It's a matter

655
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: of if. And but I think no briefe geld stick

656
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: on your day and maybe I could blow it up.

657
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: But but like I I this is the point it's clear.

658
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: I guess my my one question if you know the

659
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: nation we went through as a group, the Jason Witten

660
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: experience with Monday night football, um, you know, and I

661
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: get that there are I sense that these people have

662
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: egos that feels um like part of this. But how

663
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: did they know when they tout Drew Breese and you

664
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: know that's from a big parade, is the next guy

665
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna do X Y and Z that Drew Brees

666
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: is going to actually be good at this like they

667
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: hit gold with Tony Romo um at CBS and but

668
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: but to me, like I'm just gonna say, like the

669
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: Drew Brees experience that personality wise, wonderful guy on some level,

670
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: But I don't know, it's not the first guy I

671
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: tick is like I want to listen to him, um

672
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: wax poetic about football games. So is it like they

673
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: they they've tested him and they know or they're just like, hey,

674
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: it's a big name, we gotta roll him into the booth.

675
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: And I want to just point out, first of all,

676
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: is a wonderful guy. As you're saying this guy is

677
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: gonna be no good. I mean, just to throw that

678
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: in there, like the wonderful guy, but no personality not good.

679
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: I thought that was very well done. Um, they're guessing.

680
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the thing. Drew Brees is a

681
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: great quarterback, um, wonderful guy. Um and you know, but

682
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: into the booth now he yeah translate, well that well

683
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: that's the question though, but can he Here's these guys

684
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: basically all know what they're talking about and what the set.

685
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: It's the ability to take what you have been doing

686
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: on Sundays uh for twenty years and being able to

687
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: make it understandable for idiots like me. You know what

688
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean? Can you say if you explain how you're

689
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: checking off in a different way, just to understand what

690
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback see? You know during brewe Breese has that

691
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: informtion in his head. Now can you do it in

692
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: an entertaining way? And here's to me, a lot of

693
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: broadcasting isn't really what you say a lot of times,

694
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: but how you say it. And I would argue that

695
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: Romo did out the predictions all that, But the thing

696
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: that Romo did right out of the bat is that

697
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: he's just talking about the game. He's very focused on

698
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: the game, and even though sometimes he wavers in not

699
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: as good at games, but like when there's been big games,

700
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: he's into it and he's focused on that and he's

701
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: enthusiastic about it. And I think that's what reason has

702
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: to be genuine. It comes across where Bree, you don't know,

703
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: so they answer your question, Yeah, they don't really know.

704
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: They're guessing. They you know, educated guesses. But there's been

705
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: many mistakes. Pass from Joe Montana to be wonderful guys,

706
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: but not very good in the boot Andrew Marshawn giving

707
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: us the uh deep dive on Drew Brees and what

708
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: comes next. Thank you for joining us, Andrew, And I'll

709
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: say goodbye with my favorite Drew Brees quote maybe ever,

710
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's there's a lot through the

711
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: years where Drew Brees, Uh, the way he interfaces the media,

712
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: you wonder how genuinely he's being with you or if

713
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: he's just saying the right things. This quote from the

714
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: press gathering. I'm as excited to be in the booth

715
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: with Mike Tarico as I was to throw passes to

716
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas on Sundays. And that's not enough. He can't

717
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: just say that. He has to then double down with

718
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: I am dead serious when I say that. Okay, all right, Drew,

719
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: thank you Andrew and Marshall. It's like, well, Michael Thomas

720
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: wasn't pain in the ass, so maybe that was like

721
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: his way of getting Yeah. I thought that was interesting myself.

722
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: All right, and thank you so much, and uh follow

723
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: Andrew on Twitter and all this stuff on the post.

724
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: Always good to see you buddy. All right, there he

725
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: goes and apologies technical difficulties there. We could not get

726
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: a good connection unfortunately with Andrew, so we had to

727
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: jump out of that faster than we wanted to. But

728
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: at the same time, still talk good to talk about

729
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: and fun to talk about this drama. Um, Gregg, do

730
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: you buy the idea of al Michael's uh saying goodbye here?

731
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: Where do you stand on where Owl's at? Right? Well,

732
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: then you know marciaun had a quote in there where

733
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: he's said, al Michaels still throwing n on the black,

734
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, as opposed to when he was throwing a

735
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour earlier in his career. Al Michaels

736
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: is like the greatest to ever do it. But I'm

737
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 1: not sure I'm with him there. I thought you could

738
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: see some real decline almost like boredom, you know, last year,

739
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: like Al was not feeling the pandemic. Uh loves being

740
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: at the center of everything. He loves he loves ratings.

741
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: He wants to many people to be watching him. He

742
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: wants to be at the center of the sports universe.

743
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: And I totally get that it had to be a

744
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: letdown for him. Still like a lot of people. Yeah,

745
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: still like a top whatever, five, six, seven play by

746
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: play guy at this point. But he but Tariko on

747
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: another level and and some other guys too, and so

748
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,959
Speaker 1: maybe he goes back to ESPN or whatever. But it's funny.

749
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: It's really funny because it kind of reminds me of

750
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: the Drew Brees situation. It's like if Drew Brees had

751
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: wanted to come back this year, and there was some talk.

752
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: Even when Drew Brees came back last year, there was

753
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of like, oh, well, okay, one more

754
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: because we feel a little uncomfortable pushing you out the

755
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: door here. But now it's the year after. You know,

756
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: Michael's is gonna get his one last year, and then

757
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: it's I feel like NBC is gonna be like Sean

758
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: Payton is, like, you don't have a choice to if

759
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: you really want to come back, you're gonna have to

760
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 1: do it with another team. I do love that every

761
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: time Al Michaels comes up in one of Andrew's articles

762
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: that he mentions the Oswald Lucky Rabbit trade, in which

763
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: ESPN dealt Michael's to nbc UM in return for this

764
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 1: uh fictional character at Disney property. And like, I wonder

765
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: if Al Michael's has like an al Pacino at the

766
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: end of any given Sunday type of move left in

767
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: him where you think he's out, and then he says, actually,

768
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm taking me and someone else to some other network.

769
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: We're going to recreate all this go go displace um

770
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: the Monday Night Football Crew, and which is displaced able?

771
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't seem very nice. It's too bad. It's a

772
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: bad spot for Steve Levy, but that'd be fun. I mean,

773
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: he Michael's is such a titan and he hangs over

774
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: all of this right now that when you ask Steve

775
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: Levy about it, uh, Levy even says, and it's in this,

776
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: it's in the article UM in an interview with the Athletic.

777
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: If al decides on a whim that he might it

778
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: might be fun to go back to Monday Night Football.

779
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: I'll be like, here you go, Al, what am I

780
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: gonna say to Al Michael's It's which is okay. I

781
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: don't know if that's true or not, but it just

782
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: shows you, first of all, the deference to a figure.

783
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: He's a titan al Michael's in the history you of

784
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: broadcasting and sports broadcasting. But also like that would be

785
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: leave giving up his dream job, I mean Monday night

786
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: football play by play guy and Uh Andrew also called

787
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: this it has uh, it has jay Leno Conan vibes.

788
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: Right now, you know the backstory there. Jay Leno did

789
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: Late Night for you know, twenty years after Johnny Carson retired,

790
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: and then uh, in like two thousand four, NBC announces

791
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: that Conan, who was doing the late night show but

792
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: after jay Leno, was going to succeed um Leno in

793
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: the big chair at eleven thirty, but not for five years.

794
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: And it created this really weird dynamic. Then it blew

795
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: up and everybody's faces because then jay Leno didn't want

796
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: to leave and NBC kept him on as well with

797
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: Conan and submarined everything. Um, you wonder if they're getting

798
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: into a tricky situation here, especially with some big personalities,

799
00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: especially that's he's younger, and that's a big hurdle for

800
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: that's a big hurdle for Breeze to clear. It would

801
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: be being better than cons Worth, so unless he's But

802
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: side note, Conan O'Brien is about a hundred and fifty

803
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: times better than Jay Leno, who I never found funny

804
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: on any level. No, I'm totally I mean, I'm a

805
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: huge um. Jay Leno played the game so well that

806
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: it got to a point where it finally came back

807
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: and bid him and everybody saw him as you know,

808
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: fake and a phony that would do anything he did.

809
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: He had the numbers, He had the numbers I was.

810
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he's funny though I'm not funny to

811
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: half of America. I just Conan is weirder and strange.

812
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't I completely agree with you there. I I

813
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: spent many um an afternoon watching The Tonight Show with

814
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: Jane Leno live as as a page at NBC making

815
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: sure the aisles were clear. That was my job for

816
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: about four months, watching Jay Leno give the same little

817
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 1: uh pre show speech, which always creeped me out because

818
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: the inflection in every single word was the exact same

819
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: every day and all was just was kind to you.

820
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: He well, now we were pages, so we did not

821
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: have personal relationships, but there could not have been a

822
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: more beloved boss. Um and Uh. I think everyone there

823
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: stayed there and they all got paid, they all got

824
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: rich off of it, so that makes sense. But every account, Um,

825
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: first person account was he was like the nicest person

826
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: of all time and a and a great boss. So

827
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: you gotta give him that. That's important. It's important behind

828
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: the scenes jay Leno stories. Let me share one more

829
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: before we get back to football. My twenty ninth birthday. Um,

830
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't like I wanted as a birthday gift, but

831
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 1: it just fell that way. My wife was working for

832
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: NBC at the time, and we went to a Jay

833
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: Leno taping in two thousand nine and it was at

834
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: the end of the road. Now when he's about to

835
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: leave and it's starting to percolate that Conan is going

836
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: to take his job. We go to a taping. I

837
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: don't remember who the guest was. I remember, Um, Ashley

838
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: Simpson is the musical guest. Uh, and I'll never forget

839
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: he did. That's that spiel that you're talking about, um

840
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: Greg and then the show starts, and then during a

841
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: commercial break when you know they're just resetting things, Leno

842
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: sitting at the desk and he has a whole studio

843
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 1: audience watching him, and you wondered if the whole moment

844
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: and the situation with him losing his gig was hanging

845
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: over him. He just stared straight ahead, stone faced during

846
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: the entire commercial break, and it's like in a war

847
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: movie where there's an explosion and then all you can

848
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: hear is just a high pitch like that's what I

849
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: pictured going through his brain. And then it was like,

850
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: all right, we're back in five four and then he

851
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: turned it back ontto a human being. I'll never forget

852
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: Jay Leno with a thousand yards stare like the guy

853
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: that watching watching that every day, I got the feeling,

854
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 1: and it totally makes sense. It is like him during

855
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: that show was like the equivalent of us, like, you know,

856
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: checking our phone while we're way cheen TV was He

857
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: had just done it so many times that it was

858
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: like he wasn't even didn't even need to be there

859
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: because he could do it so so easily. All Right,

860
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: good Jay Leno Talk Guys Breaking news, Jeremy Fowler and

861
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter report former number two overall pick Mitch Trabinsky

862
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: is signing with the Buffalo Bills. There you go, Sessler,

863
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: your dream scenario. Trabinsky uh shuddered behind a star quarterback,

864
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: never to be seen or heard from again. Happy birthday,

865
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, honestly think it's good for Mitch Trobinsky,

866
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: like go and hide away for a little bit, and

867
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: he's young, who knows what will happen with his career.

868
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: But I never liked the idea of him being shoved

869
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: into another starting spot. Um. Any team that needs him

870
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: as a starter is probably in trouble, and it would

871
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: have been I just I don't know something. I feel

872
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: bad for some of these quarterbacks when they failed, even

873
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: though I ripped them verbally. It's part of our job.

874
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: If it weren't, If I if it were just me

875
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: wandering around town, I wouldn't be tapping people on the

876
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: shoulders telling them how annoyed by him by Mr Robiski

877
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: on the Bears. But I love the fact that they're

878
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: not linked together anymore. Those two needed to separate UM

879
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: in every possible way, and the Bill's good landing spot incredible.

880
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: If we see him, that means total disaster, but um

881
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: a good place to hide away for a bit and

882
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,959
Speaker 1: make a nice bit of money like e d Dead.

883
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: If Mr Drobiskietre's lineup like you would be for certain backups,

884
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: it gives you at least a fighting chance of something

885
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: calamitous happens to Josh Allen. Isn't he automatically one of

886
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: the better backups in the league. Yes, I'm not saying

887
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: he's He's not. I'm not buying that. I'm not necessarily

888
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: buying that. But I think any backup could potentially look

889
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: great in Buffalo. Matt Barkley, you go look at when

890
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: he played his yards per attempt in Buffalo, like he

891
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: moved the ball down the field like. I think that

892
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: is at the most quarterback friendly UH system right now

893
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: with wide open guys and Alan's athleticism, you know, is

894
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: a huge part of that. And Alan took it to

895
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: another level that Mitch Drabrisky is never gonna do. But

896
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like if he ends up playing because

897
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: Alan gets hurt, wouldn't surprise me if you put up

898
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: some stats in that offense and then something to don't.

899
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: That's why I don't hate Mitch is a backup, like

900
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: he can come and he can do a few things.

901
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: Do I clearly you know what I think about him,

902
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: But I don't hate him as Quarterback's a nice But

903
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: let's do another breaking news. Why not? I think I

904
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: think this counts. The Raiders are getting back on the board,

905
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: signing Kenyan Drake, the former Cardinals running back, to a

906
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: two year contract, pairing with Josh Jacobs. There Dan doesn't

907
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: think this was worth breaking. I had I had seen this,

908
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: Eric consented about fifteen minutes ago, and I had that

909
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: blocked and loaded in eight o'clock to life. I figured

910
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: this was like a franchise tag level player. You're telling

911
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: me the Jets signed Kenyan Drake to an Now you're

912
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: putting it the show that's eighteen minutes of delight is

913
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 1: what the another thing needs to be measured against the Jets.

914
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: This is a this is an eight o'clock delight eyed item.

915
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: To me. People will make fun of the Raiders for

916
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 1: this because of the money, and like, hey, they want

917
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: to be like a running team, and there's there's a

918
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: fair point of that. I just want to say, I

919
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: like Kenyan Drake. I like watching him. I like him

920
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: and Josh Jacobs together. I think that'll be a nice,

921
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: nice group. Josh Jacobs has had some injury issues, so

922
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: I mean go with the two back system sometimes. Anyways,

923
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: Onto eight o'clock Din, eight o'clock de Light, Billip Lindsay.

924
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: He's heading to free agency. The Broncos were sind their

925
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: restricted free agent tender on the running back went back

926
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: to back when thousand yards to start there see started

927
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: his career. But Mark, it just seems like the Broncos

928
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: were never into Philip Lindsay. I think this has to

929
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 1: also do with Lindsay wanting out Mike McCartney. His agents

930
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: said that they came to an agreement. If that's what

931
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: that means. They signed Mike Boone, who they like from

932
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Philip lindsays six hundred and eleven touches in

933
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: his career, three thousand plus yards, a West favorite, zero fumbles.

934
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna get a good player here. Kicker corner Matt Prader,

935
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 1: adding to the Cardinal Trader he was with the Lions

936
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: most recently and uh, he's had a nice solid NFL career. Listen,

937
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: I had a bit of a unsavory meeting with him

938
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: on media day way back in two thousand thirteen when

939
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: he was with the forty Niners. He was wearing it

940
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 1: and hearing in one ear and seemed to be thinking

941
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: he was the coolest guy in the building. Probably wasn't,

942
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: but I'm putting that in the past. Okay, Matt Prador's

943
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,439
Speaker 1: had a great career and I's got a good job

944
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: here at the Cardinals seven seven years in. Good Ryan

945
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: suck Up also resigned to the Bucks. No comment. I

946
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: mean they it's the first time they haven't had a

947
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: new kicker in about seven years. So that's good. That's good.

948
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: All right. Up next, Larry All good job heading to

949
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: the Bengals from the Browns. Mark, how do you feel

950
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: about this good player? But I would say really streaky

951
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 1: will do something really interesting and then kind of fade away,

952
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: And so the Bengals are hoping for the better version

953
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: of that. All right. Tim Boyle signs of the Detroit

954
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: Lions as a backup quarterback. Get excited, Greg, Every everyone

955
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: that covers the Packers is convinced Tim Boyle is awesome,

956
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: and the fans too. And he did look good in

957
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 1: the camp. I immediately saw like, oh, he'll beat out

958
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, so I maybe we'll see his nickname is

959
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: human Victory Cigar Gross. Finally, Jared Goff, the excuse me?

960
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: Jared Cook the tight end. Most recently with the Saints,

961
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: he bounced around obviously Now with the Chargers, that seems

962
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: like a nice landing spot. I mean he always he

963
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: always puts up numbers and he always does one or

964
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: two things that drives you crazy. Kyle Rudolph also to

965
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: the diet. So I guess it's like sign your you know,

966
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: next tier of tight end is day. That's where we're at,

967
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: and that is anything else anybody wants to add that? No,

968
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: that is eight o'clock the light, everybody, Ricky tells me.

969
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph to giants, We just said that. We literally

970
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: just said that it was the last item of eight

971
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: o'clock the light. She now writes in the check client.

972
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. The level of

973
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: discourse in that room is just um, it's incredible. All right, Um,

Speaker 1: four in four days. You could not be more prepared

976
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: to have a water cooler chat if water coolers still exist,

977
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: in the future. I don't know if they do. In

978
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: a world post pandemic, will things like water coolers melt away.

979
