1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: Well, you're all familiar with the phrase the buck stops here.

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: Everybody is familiar with that. Part of being the boss

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: is taking the blame, whether it's your fault or not.

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: That's part of being the quarterback, taking the blame because

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: you're gonna get all the credit when it goes well.

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 3: Correct.

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: I think I'm on to something here, and we're gonna

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: talk about Sean Payton in just a second.

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: Mark with it.

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: E from Salam first and foremost, My man, how we

12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: doing tonight?

13
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm good man? How you doing?

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: I couldn't be better. I couldn't be better.

15
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: Where we're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios

16
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: tyrack dot com. We'll help you get there on Matt's selection,

Speaker 2: thousand recommended installers tyrec dot com the way tire buying

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: should be. I think Sean Payton did this completely on purpose,

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: completely on purpose. I think he knew exactly what was

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: gonna happen, and when he did it, I think he

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: was completely prepared. I think he had his apology already

23
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: written before he said the original comment.

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: To begin with, we'll get.

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: To your boy Aaron Rodgers and his response in just

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: a second.

27
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: But how do you read what Sean Payton did?

28
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: And for those of you who may not be aware

29
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: of the story that is now ongoing, about three or

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: four days, Sean Payton, now head coach of the Broncos,

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: did something you never hear coaches do, which is absolutely

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: torched another coach and he did so publicly, ripping Nathaniel

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: Hackett for the job that he did with the Broncos

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: last year. The idea that he just sort of whoops,

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: I forgot to take my Fox Analyst hat off. I

36
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: never heard him do that when he was on Fox.

37
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: That's not his Foxed Analyst hat. He knows that he

38
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: needs to build a totally new deal of accountability with

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos, and so he made a calculated, pointed

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: effort and he did something that he knew was going

41
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: to get national attention and then decided he would apologize

42
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: for it afterward.

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: You buy that. I think he was just being honest.

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: Whether it was premeditated or not, honesty is honesty. We've

45
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: all talked about it. I'm sure he's had comments on

46
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: it when he was an analyst, because it was a

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: hot button topic first half of the year, or they

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: botched the game, then they watched another game, and then

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks later he's fired. So I'm sure

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: he was asked about it prior to him being affiliated

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos, and I don't think his take changed.

52
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: I think he was saying what all of us knew,

53
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: and you got to look at the position he's in

54
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: as the new head coach of the franchise. That was

55
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: you know, mentioned about the bar is very low, right,

56
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, just being Sean Payton in the building puts

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: you on another level. Right. So they have a good season,

58
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: and they compete, and they're in Denver in December and

59
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: they're on the cusp of making the playoffs. Then oh, okay,

60
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: we get it. So I think he was just hedge

61
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: in his bed. He was like, look, that was a

62
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: terrible job. It was really bad. We can all agree

63
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, he was completely in over his head.

64
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: So being honest about it, it's something that as analysts

65
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: we do. We do now if I were to go

66
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: join the team tomorrow, if I were to go join

67
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: the team in any capacity tomorrow, they asked me about

68
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: someone who was in the same position that I am

69
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: in now, and how they did. I'm in my slip

70
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: like I mean, it is the reason I'm here. Right,

71
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: It would have been better if he said that, right,

72
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: you would have got the same meaning out of it

73
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: without the hullabaloo. Right, it's the reason I'm here.

74
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: I don't think anything you're saying is wrong. However, I

75
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: don't think I've ever heard of coach do this before

76
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: in my life, in my time? Have you ever heard

77
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: this before?

78
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: Thought?

79
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,119
Speaker 3: Well, of course, we're in the media.

80
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: We love the honesty pretty good, don't love the Honesty's

81
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: damn right? Yeah, and he's and he's right again. A

82
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: couple of the quotes that really circulated. Peyton called Hacketts

83
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: fifteen game run with the Broncos quote one of the

84
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: worst coaching jobs in the history.

85
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: Of the NFL.

86
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: Then said there were quote twenty dirty hands around quarterback

87
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's career worst season.

88
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: Okay, so is he right?

89
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: Sure?

90
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: Is it a time for brutal honesty? Maybe? Have you

91
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: ever heard a coach do this to another coach?

92
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: No?

93
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: So I'm sorry, and we'll play What Peyton said in

94
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: his sort of air quotes apology here in a second.

95
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: But the idea that Sean Payton, who's been a coach

96
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: for I don't know how many years in his life,

97
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: many many many, okay, multiple decades, then he's an analyst

98
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: for what like two years, and you're telling me he

99
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: can't snap out of that, when, by the way, he

100
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 2: never talked like that as an analyst either. This to

101
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: me was absolutely preconceived. This was premeditated. Because Sean Payton

102
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: needs to set the table for the Denver Broncos. Two

103
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: things need to happen. A, we're not accepting that crap

104
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: that happened last year. But B I'm also going to

105
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: create a redo, a mulligan for all of you players

106
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: who played like crap last year.

107
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: You were bad too, no matter what the play call was.

108
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson looking straight at players in the end zone

109
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: on the other team and throwing it to them has

110
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: got a sword of be his fault on some level.

111
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: What Sean did was he created a mulligan for these players,

112
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: but in the process also told him you better be

113
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: better this year because we're not doing that under my name.

114
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: We're not doing that around here. But the idea that

115
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 2: he's slipped and fell and a coach says about another

116
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: coach one of the worst jobs in the history of

117
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: the NFL.

118
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. There's no way that that was an accident.

119
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: There's no way that he didn't know exactly what the

120
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: response was going to be.

121
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: Now, look, he one thing Champayton is is he's a veteran. Okay,

122
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: I've known Champayton quite some time, since I was sixteen

123
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: years old. He was my coach of San Diego State

124
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: aztects for life. Just why I throw that out there.

125
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: I've heard that once or twice this year. Well, I'm

126
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: just saying, you know, I'm just like I tell my

127
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: wife all the time. We're everywhere, right, So.

128
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: The PAC twelve anyway, Sorry, go ahead.

129
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: That's how we're going to start off the show. Not yet,

130
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: not yet.

131
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: Hey, believe me, I hope they're there.

132
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: All we might say is, well, couple months when you're

133
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: eating you're spooning those words back into your mouth.

134
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: No, I hope they are. Believe me, they're the White

135
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: Night right now. But anyway, you tell you were.

136
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: Saying, I've lost my train of thought with that backhanded

137
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: slap there. I just you said that you've known for

138
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: a long time. Everything he does is it is for

139
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: a reason. Okay, we can speculate on what that reason is,

140
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: but all he cares about is the end results. So

141
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: if those words took some of the pressure off of

142
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: much maligned team last year and including the quarterback Hall

143
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: of Fame caliber quarterback, and he gets the results that

144
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: he wants, then it was Will said, that's of course,

145
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: of course.

146
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: And by the way, I guarantee you what he did.

147
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: You've done this. I know who you are. I know

148
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: you've been a leader as an athlete. I know your dad.

149
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: You've done this.

150
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: You have stepped forward at some point in your life

151
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: to protect someone who matters to you and said, I'm

152
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: gonna take the bullets.

153
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: I know it's not my fault, but I'm.

154
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: Going to take the bullets for this person because they

155
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: need me to step in and shield them. Right now,

156
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: You've done that in your life without you even telling

157
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: me the story. I know that you've done that in

158
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: your life, of course, and that's what Sean did. That's

159
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: all Sean did here, Like I always laugh, Do you

160
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: remember when Tom Brady was seen overes talking to Ronaldo

161
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: at a soccer match, when everyone was like oho, Tom retired,

162
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: but it didn't feel like Tom retired. And then we

163
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: all know who owns the soccer team out there, man,

164
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: you same owners as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And Tom

165
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: Brady is photographed with Christiano Ronaldo, two of the most

166
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: famous athletes on planet Earth. And the stories online were

167
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: all like, oh, let's see if we can start putting

168
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 2: puzzle pieces together. Is Tom out there talking to the glaziers?

169
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: We caught Tom talking to Christian.

170
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: You didn't catch him.

171
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: They knew you were gonna photograph him, and he knew

172
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: exactly what was gonna happen, and yes, it got Bruce

173
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 2: arians moved the hell out of the head coaching job.

174
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: Like celebrities like this do not talk.

175
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: They are not photographed. They know they know that what

176
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 2: they say and what they do is going to hit

177
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: the internet. Sean knew exactly. I see what he was doing.

178
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see if it pays off. That's a great,

179
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: great question. Yes, yes, let's see if that pays off.

180
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: Because you think you will. I believe so. Sewn is

181
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: a tremendous coach. He has been for decades in this league.

182
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: And you know I'm a bronco you know, so I'm

183
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: pulling for Sean. I'm pulling for the Denver Broncos. Just

184
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: got my uh my alumni email. Come out and join

185
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: some of your ex Broncos. DeMarcus where is gonna be

186
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: honored for the Hall of Fame. Then at halftime, they're

187
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: celebrating Super Bowl thirty three, which is funny and ironic

188
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: because I was in Super Bowl thirty three on the

189
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: opposed side Broncos. Yes, so I gotta go out there

190
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: and I gotta listen to Sham and then I gotta

191
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: listen to Rod Smith and TD and all those guys

192
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: Eddie Mack, all those guys I'm I'm you know, friends

193
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: with and former colleagues with and talk about. I remember

194
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: the first time I signed with the Denver Broncos and

195
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I came into the locker room. Rod Smith turned around.

196
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: He was like, oh, man, thank you so much. I'm

197
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: like what you talk about? He was like. He walked

198
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: me into the training room and there was a picture

199
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: of them holding up Super Bowl thirty three trophy and

200
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: he was like, thank you guys for this. Man, this

201
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: is this, you know this. I said, Okay, Man's that's

202
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: how we're doing it, man, That's how we're doing. That's

203
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: how we're gonna get down. Friends are four you know

204
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: it's uh, I'm I'm pulling for him, and I think

205
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: in that it's gonna be tough in that division you.

206
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: Want to come with no b game.

207
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: I do think that they're going to be better than people.

208
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: I think they're definitely going to be better than they

209
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: were last year. They do have some pieces now, they

210
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 2: do have some pieces, and no question about it. And

211
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: it did not make sense the way Russell Wilson played

212
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: football last year? So what did Sean say as a

213
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: follow up? And then what did Aaron Rodgers say? Who's

214
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,480

Speaker 1: A genuine moonwalk.

256
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: Backtracking from the original statement that Paul Hackett Nathaniel Hackett sorry,

257
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: did one of the worst coaching jobs in the history

258
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: of the NFL. When Sean Payton was tracked down after

259
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: those statements went public, here's what he had to say.

260
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 6: Listen, I had one of those moments where I still

261
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 6: had my Fox hat on and not my coaching hat on.

262
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 6: And you know, I said this to the team in

263
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 6: the meeting yesterday. We've had a great off season relative

264
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 6: to that, you know, and I've been preaching that message.

265
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 6: And here I am the veteran, you know, stepping in it.

266
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 6: And it was it was a learning experience for me.

267
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 6: It was a mistake. Obviously, I needed a little bit

268
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 6: more filter. You know, there's a pound of flesh for

269
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 6: these guys. As a coach, you stick up for him.

270
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 6: And after a while, you know, we're past that season

271
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 6: last year, and you know, I said what I said,

272
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 6: and obviously I needed a little bit more restraint and

273
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 6: I regret that.

274
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: So it's twenty twenty three. Check my math.

275
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: He started as an offensive assistant at the aforementioned San

276
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: Diego State Aztecs forever a from he started in nineteen

277
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: eighty eight, twenty three plus twelve. This man has been

278
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: coaching for thirty five years, and he quote had one

279
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: of those moments, one of those moments where he just whoops,

280
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: slipped and fell into Fox mode and Skip Bayless just

281
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: spilled out all over the floor.

282
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: Whoops. Come on, man, I'll say, and the apology he

283
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: never said what I said was wrong.

284
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: No, well that's I mean, that's in fact, you're right.

285
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: It's a good observation. It's kind of what he's saying. Oh,

286
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: I had one of those Fox moments, like where he's

287
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: admitting that's my analysis. He so you gotta listen, let's

288
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: read between it, right. So I'm looking, I'm listening. I'm listening.

289
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, oh, he never said I shouldn't have

290
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: said that or I was wrong about that, and you know,

291
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: I apologize. He said, Hey, had a little brain fart

292
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: forgot where I was, Okay, forgot to read the room,

293
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: forgot forgot where I was.

294
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: So god that it was pro football talk that I

295
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: was talking to.

296
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Right, so you know that the sentiment is the same.

297
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: He did not retract the sentiment. He doesn't wrong. He

298
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: just apologized for letting it get out there, right, And

299
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: I can reach that apology. I what the apologies? I

300
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: don't like, you know what, I shouldn't have said that,

301
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: and you said it because you meant it.

302
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: Yep.

303
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: You getting in trouble doesn't make you not mean it anymore. Right,

304
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: So if you go home and you get into an argument.

305
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: My wife is, first of all, she should be a lawyer,

306
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: because she's always said she wanted to be a lawyer.

307
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: And she takes the judicial approach out on me in

308
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: every argument. So, oh damn, I've lost every single one

309
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: of them. Okay, I myself am not a lawyer. As

310
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I don't like to argue. But

311
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: anyway I can say I'm sorry, but i'm sorry isn't

312
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: accepted until I know what I've apologized for and have

Speaker 1: and you know, I just forgot where I was. Okay.

319
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: Everybody on the team's been doing a great job of

320
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: not buying into you know, to the you know, to

321
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: the to the media and the talk, and and I

322
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: I stepped in it. Ah, you know my bad.

323
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: Guys, isn't even as I'm listening to you recount the tone,

324
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: I can tell whether you're admitted or not.

325
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: You don't buy this either. Nah. Look, man, he said

326
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: what he said. Of course, didn't apologize for what he said,

327
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: and he shouldn't and saying it in the form he's said, right.

328
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: But but it is a fake apology.

329
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: It is not a real apology because he is because

330
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: he did not. He did not lose himself. He did

331
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: not accident dently put his fox hat on. He references

332
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 2: bringing it up in the team meeting. I'm sure he did.

333
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: He went, Hey, team, do you hear what I said?

334
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: And I want y'all to know that you were a

335
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: clown show last year. This was a circus truck riding

336
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 2: around at the fifty yard line.

337
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: You all stunk.

338
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: We're not doing it anymore, Okay, I put hacking on blast.

339
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: He's not here anymore, so he doesn't matter. You do,

340
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: get your dang chin strap on and figure it out,

341
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: because we're not doing that anymore. I guarantee you That's

342
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 2: what it sounded like in the team meeting.

343
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: And if it works, genius, brilliant.

344
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: Yep, Absolutely they will. And of course they're going to

345
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 2: be better this year.

346
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: How could they not be seriously hard? It be hard,

347
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: it'd be hard, or to be worse than they were

348
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: last year, like seriously Russell Russell.

349
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: Yes, Wilson's performance last year was the mo some mysterious

350
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: quarterback performance I've ever watched.

351
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: Nobody understood. You agree with that? Yes, nobody knew where

352
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: it came from. We didn't even know who he was,

353
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: and we kept waiting for him to shake it off,

354
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 1: and it never happened. It just continued to be what

355
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: it was, and it was abysmal, very difficult to watch.

356
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 2: Decisions that made no sense and no prayer of his

357
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: caliber right, like making just high school mistakes. Just it

358
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: was just it was unfathomable and uh and sure Hackett

359
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 2: was a big piece of it. But you know, no

360
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: one person is to blame for everything. Ever, that's not

361
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: the way life works, that's not the way problems were.

362
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: Well, you have been married before, haven't you, So I'm

363
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: sure you want to stick to the broad statement. You're

364
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: damn right, You're damn right.

365
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 3: You notice you used the word before.

366
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: Right anyway, but any way, yeah, I promise you that's

367
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: what he said to those guys and literally what it. Yes,

368
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: it's what he's done from the moment he was hired.

369
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: If you start to go back in time and look

370
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 2: at the things he said and the maneuvers he's made,

371
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 2: you know, there were behind the scenes things where he

372
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: walked in and went, Russ, we're not doing this. Your

373
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 2: your peeps and your your whatever.

374
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: The guy who comes into yours.

375
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, the specialists that you hired for your flexor tendon,

376
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 2: he's out of here, out of here. And he did

377
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 2: that right away, So you know, darn well, he's not

378
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: blaming solely Nathaniel Hackett. The timing is such though, that

379
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: they went through the rebirth in OTAs and here we are,

380
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: we arrive at camp. He doesn't say it at camp,

381
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 2: but it just conveniently comes out right as camp is open.

382
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: It's just I don't know.

383
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: Man.

384
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 2: Again, you're right, I don't think he did anything wrong.

385
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: I think it's super honest. He's spot on. But the

386
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: idea that this was an accident and the timing just

387
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: happened to like, come on, come on, what are we doing?

388
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: This is this was this was a maneuver.

389
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: It was a maneuver. Hopefully it pays off. I'd like

390
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: to see the Broncos get back in this thing. Such

391
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: a storied franchise, that one of the best fan bases,

392
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: if not the best fan base in all football. And

393
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 1: I know I played for a lot of teams, and

394
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: I know that fan base is unbelievable. You know who

395
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: else is unbelievable? You know who has fans line every

396
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,200

Speaker 8: Nearly the A's.

468
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 7: Detroit twenty years ago had seventy eight losses heading into August.

469
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 7: This is now loss number seventy seven for Oakland. They

470
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 7: are thirty and seventy seven and do not play tomorrow.

471
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 7: Worst run differentials going into the month of August, it's

472
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 7: nearly the A's once again. The nineteen to eleven Boston

473
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 7: Braves apparently are still the worst. But these A's this

474
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 7: year have been outscored by two hundred and fifty five

475
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 7: runs already. We are not yet to August.

476

483
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 2: this story got furthered, we've been talking about Sean Payton.

484
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: Here comes Aaron Rodgers off the top rope, because of

485
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: course Nathaniel Hackett is now under Robert Sala and working

486
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 2: with Rogers and the offense on the New York Jets.

487
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: Before we hear that and respond to that.

488
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: Maybe we should detail a little bit about how you've

489
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 2: been feeling about Aaron Rodgers over the last year or so.

490
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: This recent year and training camp and been with the

491
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: Jets are previous to.

492
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: This, Well, I guess previous to this.

493
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: Oh, well, he's underperformed in terms of the playoffs, in

494
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: terms of getting to the main goal, and he's been

495
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: doing that for the better part of his career. So

496
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, I was a fan of green Bay not

497
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: even bringing him back and letting him go last year,

498
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: remember the hold out a new contract and all that.

499
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: I was in fan of green Bay letting him go

500
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: because you had the two time MVP, you had home court,

501
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: home fell advantage in the playoffs at the Frozen Tundra,

502
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: the stored you don't never want to go to Green

503
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: Bay in the playoffs and you can't win a game.

504
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: So I you know, I was like, yeah, it's great

505
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: you have the MVP, but then what then?

506
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 5: What?

507
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: Like? So it's called title town for a reason, not

508
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: playoff town or number one seed town. It's called title town.

509
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: And at Aaron Rodgers playing at his best back to

510
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: back MVPs, you got nothing. I was like, well, at

511
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: some point you're gonna have to rip this band aid off.

512
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: So I thought they should have done it prior to

513
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: last year. And I was absolutely right because last year

514
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: that was hard to watch and I almost got relegated

515
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: in my fantasy football league because he was my quarterback.

516
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm glad at the air. Yeah you explained

517
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: where the vitrio.

518
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to humanize it went to humanized.

519
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: It's almost that time of year, brother, man, it's almost

520
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: that time of year, and that I bet he's on

521
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: your Juno draft list.

522
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, I'll tell you this the

523
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: year before you won the league. For me, I'm like, yo, okay,

524
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: I got here.

525
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: Terrible man, Gosh, players end up there. But you don't

526
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: want to say those out loud because that can be

527
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 2: a little bit of a weapon. You know, when you

528
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 2: get to whatever, round five, round six, and there'll be

529
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: other your buddies just sitting there and they're like, gosh,

530
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 2: this guy's kind of slipping, and you're like, he's on

531
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: my do not draft list, Like you didn't need to

532
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: worry about me picking him. I wouldn't have picked him

533
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: if we got to round forty. But don't let your

534
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 2: friends know that now. Like I'll say one. I'll give one.

535
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: I know we're on the air, but I'll give one.

536
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: We could get to round fifty this year, Ephraim, We might.

537
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: We could get to round fifty. And Kyler Murray is

538
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: not never playing for me period. I don't care if

539
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: it's a value pick. I don't care if all the

540
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: report all he's running well, I don't care. Round one hundred, Nope,

541
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: give me the eighth string running back from the practice

542
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: team of the Texans.

543
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't want Kyler Murray. Yeah that's it. That's a disaster. Yeah.

544
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 6: No.

545
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: Now you asked if if I was asking you about

546
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: your opinion on Aaron last year versus training camp this year,

547
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: do you have a new opinion.

548
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: Well, I like the commitment, I love the comitment. I

549
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: love the the the I'll say the new focus, because

550
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: that's what it is. He's focused. He's uh. Once you

551
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: start wavering and you going back and forth doing all that,

552
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: it's just it's hard to pull for a guy. Once

553
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: you're so stand off stand off with the media and

554
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: silent retreats and ayahuasca retreats and smoke tints, I'm like, bro,

555
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: what are you doing? What's going on here? And so

556
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: now it looks like he is locked in. He's got

557
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: a new young group. He can't say he doesn't have

558
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: weapons now, Canny, No, can't say he doesn't have weapons now.

559
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: And if the reports are true and they end up

560
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: getting Dalvin cooked, that's gonna be you know. So yep,

561
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: I think he is definitely refocused. He cut that shag

562
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: off of that mop off his head, and so I like,

563
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: I like him having both feed in, especially with the

564
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: new contract. He's like, look, I'm gonna be here unless

565
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: y'all don't want me to be here. He gave the

566
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: power to the franchise and not and took it out

567
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: of his hands.

568
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 3: Yep, yep.

569
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: I mean obviously he's sending some messaging based on where

570
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 2: he's been and now where he's going, and it was

571
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: very much a defend this house team comment that he

572
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: made directed at Sean Payton, which we'll let you hear coming.

573
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: Up next on Fox Sports Radio.

574
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: Okay, we're Livingthtyreck dot Com Studios, Mark Willardy from salam

575
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. There are more developments in the Jonathan

576
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: Taylor v Indianapolis Colts situation.

577
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 3: We'll get to that next hour.

578
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 2: Dame Lillard too, and the Taylor situation will lead us

579
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: into the larger running back conversation, which continues to just

580
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: swirl around seemingly without a solution.

581
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: But let's send it for your boy. Okay.

582
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: So Sean Payton on loads on Nathaniel Hackett. Hackett's now

583
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: with the Jets, so is Aaron Rodgers. So Aaron Rodgers

584
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 2: has this as a retort.

585
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, I love Nathaniel Hackett and those comments were very

586
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 9: surprising for a coach to do that to another coach.

587
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,239
Speaker 9: My left frat goes deep. You know, we had some

588
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 9: great years together in Green Bay, kept in touch, love

589
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 9: him and his family. He's an incredible family man, incredible dad,

590
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 9: and on the field, you know, he's arguably my favorite coach.

591
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 9: I've ever had in the NFL, just his approach to it,

592
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 9: how he makes it fun, how he cares about the guys,

593
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 9: just how he goes about his business with respect, with leadership,

594
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 9: with honesty, with integrity. And it made me feel bad

595
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 9: that someone who's accomplished a lot in the league is

596
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 9: that insecure that they have to take another man down

597
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 9: to set themselves up for some sort of easy fall

598
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 9: if it doesn't go well.

599
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: For that team this year.

600
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 9: Thought it was way out line inappropriate and I think

601
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 9: he needs to keep my coaches names out of his mouth.

602
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: Okay, mister salam, what do you make of that? Because

603
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot there. Yeah, that's aggressive. He needs to

604
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: keep my coach his names out of his mouth. Exactly.

605
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: He went will Smith on him. He really did. Uh.

606
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: It would have been better and funnier if he would

607
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: have put the custom through cuss word in this so

608
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: it goes out all that would have been. That would

609
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: have been better.

610
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: But it could have flown the Broncos camp and actually

611
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: slapped him upside the head.

612
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 1: We just could have reenact the whole thing. I'll say

613
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: this about Aaron's statement. Sean Payton didn't say anything disparaging

614
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: about Nathaniel Hagett as a person, but his family, his values, Uh,

615
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, the type of person he was outside of

616
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: the locker room or the field. He made a comment

617
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: on his ineptability to lead a football team, which is

618
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: true no matter how you feel. And look, let me

619
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: just say I'm happy for Aaron Rodgers sticking up for

620
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett. When the Jets signed him. We knew Aaron

621
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: Rodgers was going there. We knew that was his guy, him,

622
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: and that's why that's why he got the the Denver

623
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: Bronco job. Yep, his success with Aaron Rodgers that's how

624
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: he got the actual Broncos job, which was too fast,

625
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: too soon. And so yeah, I can see how he's

626
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: fighting back and trying to stick up for his coach,

627
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: his friend. Still doesn't make it not true. Still doesn't

628
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: make it not true. Wow, here's the other thing about it.

629
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: What Aaron's saying comes across as Superman coming in to

630
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 2: say the day, comes across as a very team friendly

631
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 2: thing to do in a moment where you're joining.

632
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: A new team.

633
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 2: So that's good, and in fact, I think that's actually

634
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 2: what this is about. This is Aaron's opportunity to actually

635
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 2: air some of his own stuff. Because Aaron comes into

636
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: a new team with a reputation of being somebody who

637
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 2: also throws people under the bus. So this is an

638
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 2: opportunity for him to go, hey, right, I'm gonna take

639
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 2: a pay cut. I'm gonna come in here and defend

640
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: my people. I am your new leader, and I'm ready

641
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: to maybe lead in a different way than you've read

642
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: about from Afar when I was with the Green Bay Packers.

643
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: So there's something self serving in there even for Aaron.

644
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: Let's also point out that when he says this is

645
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 2: like the best coach that I've ever played for before,

646
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 2: it's another parting shot at everybody with the Green Bay Packers,

647
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 2: as he now says that Hackett is the greatest thing

648
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 2: that he's ever played under. But I go back to

649
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: the statement I just made a couple of minutes ago.

650
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: Here's what's really tough for me to listen to Aaron.

651
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: As you point out, he is basically saying, look, Nathaniel's

652
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: classy and Sean's not. You don't do that to your brethren,

653
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: even on a different team. You don't do that. And

654
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 2: I guarantee you Ephraim I guarantee you that. As Aaron

655
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: Rodgers said that, there were ex teammates of Aaron Rodgers

656
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: around the country going, I'm sorry.

657
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: Excuse me? What? Excuse me? Say?

658
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: What did you say that? We don't throw those around

659
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: us under the bus? I'm sorry Aaron Rodgers said that, because,

660
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 2: my man, whether you want to be nice now or not,

661
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 2: you've made a career out of this. This is exactly

662
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: who you've been your entire career. A little bit less public,

663
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: but a lot more sarcastic and kind of laying in the.

664
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: Weeds like a snake. This is who Aaron has always been.

665
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that as if I was there

666
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: and I saw it. I'm saying it because I've listened

667
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: to the likes of Greg Jennings and everybody else say

668
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 2: it repeatedly on national media ever since they were no

669
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 2: longer teammates with Aaron Rodgers, So that was a.

670
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: Little bit hard to listen to it.

671
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: From my standpoint, this is the rebirth, the rebranding of

672
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He wants everyone to forget about who and

673
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: what he was in Green Bay and only wants to

674
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: focus for people to focus on this new chapter now

675
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: if he does end up playing more than two years,

676
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: and he plays three, four or five years, he has

677
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: an opportunity to create, especially if they have success, he

678
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to extend his legacy and create a

679
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: new narrative for himself. Remember when Kobe Bryant created a

680
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: new narrative came back from the Olympics. Oh yeah, and

681
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: he was a different person. Didn't nobody really mess with

682
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant in terms of hanging out, and they respected

683
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: him as a player because he was a killer. But

684
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: when he went and played on the Redeemed team and

685
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: the Lebrons and the Carmelos and all those guys were there,

686
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: they were like, man, this dude is the real deal.

687
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: He rebranded himself. He came out of Phoenix, rising from

688
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: the ashes, and became a beloved figure in the NBA.

689
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: And so this is Aaron Rodgers' opportunity to do the

690
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: same thing, a rebirth and a rebranding.

691
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: So what you're saying is every man for himself, just

692
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: like always, everybody talking was doing it to help their.

693
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: Own situation, just kind of like the Colts.

694
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 3: We'll get to that coming up next.

00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: Well, here we go, brother, the plot thickens.

700
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 2: You and I talked last week, and I know running

701
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 2: backs are near and dear to your heart, you were

702
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 2: paid a lot of money to make way for those

703
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: running backs throughout your career. Yes, you know what I mean.

704
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: Those are your boys, and now they seem to be

705
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 2: under attack. And while we spent a good portion of

706
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: our show last week talking about it, the national media

707
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: has talked all about all of these guys that are

708
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: at the front of the conversation, from Saquon Barkley to

709
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs Eckler, around the league, the zoom that was

710
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 2: held last week. All the while, there was one name

711
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 2: that didn't even really get brought up, But it's about

712
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 2: to become the lead name. More on that in just

713
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: a second. We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.

714

Speaker 2: over ten thousand recommended installers. Tyrack dot com. The way

717
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 2: tire buying should be It's one thing over the last

718
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: forty eight hours, if you've heard that Jonathan Taylor is unhappy.

719
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 2: It's another if you hear odd statements coming from the

720
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: owner of the Colts, Jim Irsay, meetings between the two

721
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: that go nowhere and now a potential standoff as he

722
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 2: wants to get paid and the Colts are going to

723
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,439
Speaker 2: treat him just like all the other teams are treating

724
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: their running back. But this one goes even further. This

725
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 2: just broke. Within the last hour or so. Colts running

726
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 2: back Jonathan Taylor reported to training camp complaining of back

727
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 2: pain that was deemed to be from a preexisting issue.

728
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 2: The Colts, and this is all according to Stephen Holder

729
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 2: of ESPN, are now considering placing him on the non

730
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: football injury list, which could result in his not being

731
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: paid at all, even for this year. This is hardball, yeah,

732
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 2: as at the fullest, at its fullest, damn, this thing

733
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: is be real contentious. I mean, I'm trying to figure

734
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 2: out why why it would be that contentious. That's a

735
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 2: good word for it. It's one thing to have a conversation.

736
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: Jonathan says, I want to get paid. Colt say no,

737
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: it's not time for you to get paid. That's very

738
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 2: normal in the NFL. Those conversations happen the agents are involved.

739
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 2: That's been happening with running backs all over the league.

740
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 2: But to follow the meeting with Jim Rsay making the

741
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: comments he made, which will read to you in just

742
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: a minute, but essentially very dismissive of Jonathan Taylor. If

743
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 2: I die tomorrow and Jonathan Taylor's out of the league,

744
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 2: no one will miss us.

745
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 3: It's a privilege to be in the league.

746
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: That's essentially That's a little bit of a paraphrase, but

747
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 2: that's what Ersay comes out and says. Followed by what

748
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 2: they're essentially saying here is we're not just going to

749
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 2: say no to a contract extension. We're going to go

750
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 2: ahead and come at you with a wrath. We are

751
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 2: now going to actually take away the money that you

752
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 2: have already signed for. I mean, this is this is

753
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 2: napalm to the situation. I don't know a trade has

754
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: already been requested. However, the Colts have already said we're

755
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: not doing that. So how did it get here? How

756
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 2: did it get this bad? Obviously this has been going

757
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 2: on for longer than we knew, But similar to the

758
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 2: question you and I have been asking for the better

759
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: part of six weeks about Dame Lillard, where it's like,

760
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 2: why did you go public about wanting to be with

761
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:29,479
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat.

762
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: That tells me.

763
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: That something contentious is going on behind the scenes between

764
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 2: you and the Blazers.

765
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: Same thing here and even worse, don't you think, Yeah,

766
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: it's worse because despite is flying around. Right, So he

767
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: was due four million dollars this year and this is

768
00:44:54,560 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: the final year of his four year whatever the contract amount. Well,

769
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 1: this is you know, this is his final final year

770
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: and he's been their best player. He's been their best

771
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: player offensively, similar to sakuon Barkley, Right, don't have a

772
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: real quarterback in the that you can build a franchise around.

773
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 1: Put a lot of weight in the pressure on your

774
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: young stars shoulders. He's twenty four years How old is

775
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: he twenty four years old?

776
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 2: I'll look it up to be sure, but yeah, he's

777
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 2: on you know the league for a few years, yes,

778
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 2: twenty four four years?

779
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: Four kid, he's this is then it's prime, literally and

780
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: it's prime. And so it's seeing stories like this, It's

781
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: it's crazy, man, because the value that these running backs

782
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 1: have are tremendous, and you know, coming off an injury,

783
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: you want to come in and you want to hit

784
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: the ground running, but you want to know that the

785
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: person you're hitting the ground running for appreciate you and

786
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: finds value in what you do. Right, twenty twenty one

787
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: rush for eighteen hundred yards five and a half carry,

788
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: he's averaging five point one yards to carry, thirty three

789
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns and three years of playing. That's I mean, you

790
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't want anything, right. I mean, he's been three years,

791
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: He's has thirty eight hundred yards rushing.

792
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 3: That that's it's pretty intense.

793
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 1: And one hundred and four receptions.

794
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 2: I career five point one yards per carry. That is

795
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 2: an intense number.

796
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: That is a first down every two times you handing

797
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: the ball off to him.

798
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 3: His year last year, yes marred by injury.

799
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 2: He missed six games, and even what was happening in

800
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 2: the eleven he played was definitely less effective than what

801
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 2: it was the first two years. But he still averaged

802
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 2: four point five of carry, which you darnwell know that's

803
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 2: high quality.

804
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: That's really good. That's really really good.

805
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: The five point five yards per carry the year before

806
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 2: is out of control, which is why he almost won

807
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 2: Player of the Year the year before. He was as

808
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 2: you said, he was an absolute star. So anyway, go on, Yeah,

809
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 2: this is a hell of a player who's still really young.

810
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: And the way the tide is shifting, he's trying to

811
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: get his worth right. He's not twenty seven, he's not

812
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight, he's twenty four. So he realized these next

813
00:47:53,160 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: four years are at the height of his superpower, won't

814
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: be more valuable than he is right at this moment.

815
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: And they're like, now we're good. So that I mean,

816
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: just imagine that. Imagine your boss coming into the office

817
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: and you've hit your stride, You've done everything you can

818
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: for the company, and you feel like you have you

819
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: know your next few years are going to really take

820
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: this company to the next level. And your boss is like, eah,

821
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not. I don't know.

822
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 2: This is tough man, because you know he not a

823
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 2: first round draft pick, which is perfect right, right, but

824
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 2: you look at it from his you're right that it is.

825
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: You're right.

826
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 2: It's absolutely better for the running back unless something goes

827
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: sideways like this. Taylor is a free agent at the

828
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 2: end of the year, restricted he can go wherever he wants.

829
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 2: And he can do it as he's turning twenty five.

830
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 2: That will still be attractive to other NFL teams. However,

831
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 2: he's also a guy, and I know where people's minds

832
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 2: go on this. It's like, oh, gee, poor guy, he's

833
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 2: only made three and a half million dollars so far

834
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 2: in his career.

835
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's it. He's made three and a half million.

836
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 2: Dollars and three years. That's nothing done. Yes, yes, and

837
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 2: it's not. It's not enough to set him up for

838
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 2: the rest of his life, particularly when you think about right,

839
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 2: the agents everything, like, yes, it's a lot of money,

840
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 2: but that that's not Jonathan Taylor money. He's actually about

841
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 2: to He is scheduled to make more this year than

842
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 2: he's made in his first three years combined.

843
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: So this is a huge year for him.

844
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 2: A to make big money and b set himself up

845
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 2: to make huge dollars. He go out there and averages

846
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 2: five yards of carry again this year at age twenty five. Oh,

847
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,439
Speaker 2: he'd get the deal. He'll get the deal the following year.

848
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 2: There's no two ways about it. So for the Colts

849
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 2: to step in and in one punch mess with both

850
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 2: of that. Oh, by the way, you're not making your

851
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 2: four point three million this year. Oh, you're not gonna

852
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 2: be on the field either.

853
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: Gee.

854
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 2: I wonder what the market will do with you next

855
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 2: year if you don't play.

856
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: Damn. Yeah, that's gangster right there. Yeah it is. You

857
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: want to talk about loyalty, You want to talk about

858
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 1: athletes trying to take control of where and when they

859
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: play and how much they make. This is example how

860
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: you can be as loyal as you want to be.

861
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: But unless you write in the checks, man, loyalty does

862
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: not go both ways.

863
00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 3: I wonder if you buy this.

864
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 2: Ross Tucker just wrote about twenty minutes ago, laughing at

865
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 2: ersa playing quote unquote hardball. Basically, all Taylor now has

866
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 2: to do is say that his back is feeling better,

867
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 2: start to practice, and then hurt something else and then

868
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 2: the Colts can't put him on the non football injury

869
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 2: list because it.

870
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: Happened right out there. Boom oh hamstring on the chef.

871
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 2: Hell, except for Ross Tucker just said it out loud,

872
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 2: So maybe they're like, no, you're not.

873
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 1: Probably, well you can't do it, can't well yeah, yeah,

874
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: he walked into.

875
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 3: That, he would, right, smart. Non football injury list can

876
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 3: be like.

877
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: A real lawyer. Man, I mean, yeah, who do the

878

00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 2: a trade. There's the Colts just within the last hour

927
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 2: or two considering placing Taylor on the non football injury

928
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 2: list showing up with back problems. But this really all

929
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 2: started with a very odd comment that Ersa now says

930
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 2: was not quote really directed at Jonathan, but it got

931
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:52,240
Speaker 2: everybody going.

932
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: And I really was excited to talk to.

933
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 2: You about this one because you mentioned you've played a

934
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 2: lot of places, and that's why I think it's fair

935
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: for me to say this in a general sense. I'll

936
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 2: leave it up to you if you want to save

937
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 2: the team and say the owner. But I know you're

938
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 2: somebody who has played for an owner where you and

939
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 2: some of your teammates were like, yeah, not so much

940
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 2: big on that person. So where does that leave everybody

941
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 2: in the Colts locker room right now?

942
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: There's a breach of trust when when things like this

943
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: happen to your best player, the player that people respect

944
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: the most. In the locker room, there's a feeling of uneasiness,

945
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: and you know, with with your teammates because they revere you,

946
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: they know what you do. They know how beneficial you

947
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: are to the team and the team's success, and when

948
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: you're not treated at that level, right, that's why, that's

949
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: why owners and teams make such a big deal out

950
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: of treating quarterbacks like that, even if they're not worth

951
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: that amount of money. Case in point, the Giants, Right,

952
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: they make sure Daniel Jones was taken care of. But

953
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: don't you know, in that locker room, guys are like, wait,

954
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: what what's happening here? We're not the only ones to

955
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: see it. They the guys in the locker room. They

956
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: know what the real deal is. They know each individual's

957
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: value to the team. And when a guy gets a

958
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: contract that they don't deem he deserves, there's a little ruffle.

959
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: There's a little ripple, little ruffle in the fabric of

960
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: the locker room. Well, and there's also just the sheer

961
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: math of it.

962
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 2: In a couple of years, Daniel Jones is going to

963
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 2: make forty five million dollars and here's the team balking

964
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 2: at the idea of giving Saquon Barkley ten.

965
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's hard to take.

966
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 2: It is, it's extremely hard to take, and think Michaewon

967
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,720
Speaker 2: Barkley is a better player than Daniel Jones.

968
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:13,240
Speaker 1: Think about the players who aren't at Saque's level and

969
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: they're like, well, man, they're doing that to him. I

970
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: don't have a shot, right, And I think that's what

971
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: we got a lot of that going on and Indianapolis

972
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: right now, guys are really looking like, oh okay hmm.

973
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: So when a guy is a free agent or other

974
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: free agents, you're trying to lure other free agents in

975
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: all of this matters because all the information is out there.

976
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: Things like this used to just be in house. Now

977
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: all the information is out there, so now you can

978
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: make your own decision. You can. You know, it used

979
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: to just be the conversation that the teams had with

980
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: your agents, and the agents will inform you of things.

981
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: Now everybody knows everything.

982
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 3: So here's the comment.

983
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 2: After all of this goes back and forth, a discussion

984
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 2: that goes nowhere. Jonathan wants to be paid, Colts don't

985
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 2: want to pay him.

986
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 3: Jonathan requests a trade.

987
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 2: Ers goes public and says, quote, if I die tonight

988
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 2: and Jonathan Taylor is out of the league, no one's

989
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: going to miss us. The league goes on, We know

990
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 2: that the National Football League rolls on. It doesn't matter

991
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 2: who comes and who goes, and it's a privilege to

992
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 2: be a part of it.

993
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: End quote.

994
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 2: Wow, Now that is somebs. That is really easy to

995
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 2: say when you're a billionaire. It's not even that the

996
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 2: sentiment in certain spots is wrong, it's that last sentence,

997
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 2: it's a privilege to be a part of it. I

998
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 2: remember taking all of my driver's test right when you're fifteen,

999
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 2: sixteen years old, and it's one of the sentences they

1000
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 2: like to throw at you a lot.

1001
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 3: Driving is a privilege. It's not a right. It's a privilege.

1002
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 2: Now imagine if I then became the greatest driver in

1003
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 2: the history of cars and they went, yeah, but we're

1004
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: still not going to give you a license, cause you know,

1005
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 2: we don't have to. That's essentially what he's saying here.

1006
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 2: It's not that being in the NFL isn't a privilege.

1007
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 3: It is.

1008
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: It's not that the NFL won't go on without Ersayan Taylor.

1009
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 2: He's right, it will. But when you throw that sentence

1010
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 2: at the employees, the hired help Ephraim.

1011
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 3: When it's a privilege to be a part of it.

1012
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 2: He's essentially saying, you keep getting in that weekly car wreck.

1013
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 2: You keep throwing your body all over there and then

1014
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 2: when you're done, come upstairs and thank me.

1015
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Hmm, it's gross. That is gross. It's pretty gross what

1016
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: your mercy has been on the you know, the fringe

1017
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: of fringe losing the team. Anyway, So if.

1018
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 2: Daniel Snyder weren't running around, this guy would be the

1019
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 2: biggest wack league.

1020
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: It took Daniel Snyder for people to stop even thinking

1021
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: looking at you right, crazy, went to rehab, all kinds

1022
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: of goofiness. Mm hmmm. So this doesn't surprise me that

1023
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: he will say something like that because he's been that guy.

1024
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: You know what happens when you get so much money,

1025
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: you just lose touch with reality.

1026
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 3: Wow, it appears that that's the deal, you know what

1027
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 3: I mean.

1028
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: This kid is busting his butt. He's in terms of

1029
01:00:54,360 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: star pay, not making anything. If you think Saquon Barkley

1030
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: is underpaid at ten million dollars, Johnathan Taylor is making

1031
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: less than half of that.

1032
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 2: He's about to make four and as I said, that's

1033
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 2: more than he's made in his first three years combined.

1034
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: So you know, with with taxes and all that, I mean,

1035
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: he's he's basically in professional sports terms living check to check.

1036
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Jump in, Steve jump In speaking of living check to

1037
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: It was so perfect speaking of someone who's not living

1038
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 1: check to check. Oh gosh, I was waiting.

1039
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 8: They saw that coming on the board.

1040
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: They're like, you must be talking about one of us.

1041
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 2: My gosh, we can laugh because it's oh, it's true.

1042
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 7: Oh, all right, we've got baseball to update.

Speaker 1: live money, man, You know what I mean?

1101
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 2: You know what I mean speaking of getting that money.

1102
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 2: We all know that's where showhy is going. Steve brings

1103
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 2: up that trade that the Angels just made with the Rockies.

1104
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: From you ever seen the movie Major League?

1105
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 3: Remember that one?

1106
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1107
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 2: Right, Willie Mays Hayes and everything. There's been a minute.

1108
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 2: I know that movie is old, so I don't want

1109
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 2: to date us. But the basic idea behind the movie

1110
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 2: is kind of some of the stuff that we're talking about.

1111
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: Right.

1112
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 2: You got a wayward ownership group, and the front person

1113
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 2: for that is this female and they put a you know,

1114
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 2: they put like a mannequin or a picture cardboard cutout

1115
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 2: of her in the in the clubhouse, and they start

1116
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 2: basically like removing clothing items with each win that they

1117
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 2: get because they have decided, once upon a time, she

1118
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 2: is tanking. It's a tanking story. She wants the team

1119
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 2: to lose so that they can sell this off. And

1120
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 2: the famous line from Major League is they look at

1121
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 2: each other and go, you know, there's only one solution

1122
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 2: to this. When the whole damn thing and I changed

1123
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,439
Speaker 2: the word damn. It was a different word in the movie,

1124
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 2: but Anyway, when the whole bleeping thing, have you noticed

1125
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 2: that what the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are doing

1126
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 2: right now is the movie Major League.

1127
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: It's what they're doing.

1128
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 2: They've gotten a few wins, everybody thought they were gonna

1129
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 2: deal show Hey, they know damn well, he won't stay,

1130
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 2: so they should trade him, right, But they can't trade

1131
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 2: him because in order to get back what would sort

1132
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 2: of satisfy their fan base would mean some other team

1133
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 2: has to give up their whole farm system for a

1134
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 2: ten week rental. And no one's gonna do that. So

1135
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 2: what are the Angels do. They win a few games

1136
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 2: and they go, you know what, there's only one solution.

1137
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 2: When the whole bleeping' thing, these guys sat down and went,

1138
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 2: not only we're not trading him, we're gonna trade for

1139
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 2: everybody else. We are going to dismantle our own farm

1140
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 2: system in order to try to make the playoffs and

1141
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 2: show show hey we can win here. Ready break. Oh

1142
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 2: my god, it's gonna be an epic fail.

1143
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 1: It's going to be an epic epic fail.

1144
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 2: But I totally dig it because it's all cards on

1145
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 2: the table, and they're right, it's their only it was

1146
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 2: their only play it's the only thing they could do.

1147
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: Might as well, might as well make well.

1148
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 2: I wonder, I wonder if they'll feel that way if

1149
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 2: they don't make the playoffs. Show hey goes to the Dodgers, Giants, Padres,

1150
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 2: something like that, and then next year they've also dismantled

1151
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 2: an already struggling farm system and have less than nothing

1152
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 2: to show for. I hear you, But how are they

1153
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 2: going to feel about that in February of next year?

1154
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: Hey man, you gotta live for now. When you're in

1155
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: a situation like this, you gotta live for now. You

1156
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: got If you feel like you have an opportunity, then

1157
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's try to make it happen. If you fail,

1158
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: at least you fail trying. That's that's just sometimes you

1159
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: just got to be like, all right, well, this is it.

1160
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 2: Four games out of the wildcard, and they would need

1161
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 2: to surpass three teams in order to get one of

1162
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 2: those wildcard spots. And meantime, even while they are making

1163
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 2: all these acquisitions, the team that leads them by five

1164
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 2: games in the division is making the biggest acquisitions of

1165
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 2: them all, bringing in Max Shuzer.

1166
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 1: Gotta shoot, man, can't win if you don't shoot, yeah,

1167
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: and win if you don't shoot that. Just just they realize, look,

1168
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 1: they're in a situation. They're not going to get what

1169
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:06,600
Speaker 1: they wanted to get for show. Hey, rescind the you know,

1170
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: take them off the trading blocks and let's go all

1171
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: in instead of just sitting pat watching it happen, watching it,

1172
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 1: watching him after every game, pack one more thing to

1173
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: travel up the up the freeway with up to five.

1174
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 1: So they're like, look man, They got together and they're like, look,

1175
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: is it gonna be difficult? Yes? Is it doable? Of

1176
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: course it is.

1177
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 3: It's doable. I mean, you got solid record.

1178
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Remember what else happened in Major League? Jobul? If you

1179
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: don't help me, then I say, bleep you Jobul, I

1180
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: do it myself. Come on, Jobu.

1181
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 2: You think Cardie Moreno is just sitting in the in

1182
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 2: the top suite with the job man talking to it

1183
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 2: right now, Hey, gotta make it happen. They gave up

1184
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:08,440
Speaker 2: Jake Madden and Mason Albright. Jake Madden was their eighth prospect.

1185
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 2: Mason Albright was their twenty eighth prospect, so eight and

1186
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 2: twenty eight, but they had already given up two and

1187
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:22,759
Speaker 2: three in the ge Alito deal.

1188
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Joe Bull, I do it myself. I do it myself.

1189
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: At least it makes for an interesting run at the

1190
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 1: end of the season. And that's all we want as fans,

1191
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,719
Speaker 1: as analysts, that's all we want. I hate when teams

1192
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: throw in the towel. It's just bad for sports. And

1193
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: so I look, I'm look, hey, say they do the

1194
01:10:55,240 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: impossible movies. As a screenwriter, as a in Hollywood, movies

1195
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 1: are made from the impossible. So roll the dice, let's

1196
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:12,679
Speaker 1: make it happen. If it gets and guess what that

1197
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: that that that clubhouse, they all for it, just like,

1198
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: of course, just like.

1199
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:26,719
Speaker 2: Of course, nice couche, don't ever bleep and do it again. Yeah,

1200
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 2: I bet they love it if they make the playoffs

1201
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 2: and they keep showhy these are the greatest deadline deals

1202
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:38,760
Speaker 2: in the history of baseball.

1203
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 1: Decimate their farm system and he plays for the Dodgers

1204
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 1: next year. Whoops?

1205
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 3: And you know which one of those is more likely

1206
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 3: than the other.

1207
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: But so you're saying there's a chance, there's a chance. Again,

1208
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: I said, report it.

1209
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 2: I get it. There's nothing else they could do. They

1210
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 2: ended up in a really bad spot. They put themselves

1211
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,559
Speaker 2: there by in many ways, but they ended up in

1212
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 2: a really bad spot.

1213
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: They needed to win earlier than now.

1214
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 2: A little too little, too late with this kind of aggressiveness,

1215
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 2: don't you think.

1216
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have been nice if they would have

1217
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: started this earlier, but they thought they were going to

1218
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: be able to get a King's Hall. Didn't happen.

1219
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 2: Mark Willardy from Salam tire rack dot com Studios. Not

Speaker 2: we go from here? And Dame Lillard? A memo went

1222
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 2: out from a memo, Oh my gosh, might be one

1223
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 2: of the great examples of overplaying a hand that we've

1224
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 2: ever seen in sports. All of that is still ahead

1225
01:12:55,400 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. Okay these arethti iraq dot Com Studio.

Speaker 2: Dame Lezard thing here at the top of the hour.

1228
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,719
Speaker 2: Where are we going from here? With the running back situation?

1229
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 2: I will say this, I know it may not be

1230
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 2: what you want to hear. I wonder if some of

1231
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 2: his brethren sent him a text message today to say, like, really, dude, really, dude,

01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,759
Speaker 2: and oh by the way, take a look at Christian

1234
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 2: McCaffrey's deal. He's getting paid. So you know, maybe learn

1235
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,879
Speaker 2: how to catch a pass out of the backfield running backs,

1236
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 2: and then you'll play two positions and you too can

1237
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 2: get money for your efforts. It's an interesting set of comments.

1238
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:53,640
Speaker 2: He's the only one that sort of come out, not

1239
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 2: in defense of the NFL, but to me, the message was, look,

1240
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 2: this is reality.

1241
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: What do you want anyone to do about it? He's

1242
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: got a point, Yeah, he's got a point. I mean,

1243
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 1: the reality of the situation is that you can hymn HA,

1244
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: and you can be upset and you can hold out,

1245
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: but the market will bear your contract. Remember receivers stopped

1246
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 1: making the big money then they came back and started

1247
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: making big money again. It's steebbs and flows. It's steebs

1248
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 1: and flows, and so you know, it's sad because there's

1249
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 1: such an intricate part of the game, a much needed part.

1250
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 1: It's easy to throw the ball down the field when

1251
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: you have a running game. Very difficult to do it

1252
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 1: if you don't. Very difficult to have a quarterback throw

1253
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: for four thousand yards five thousand yards you don't have

1254
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: a running game. So that extra man in the box

1255
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: to stop the running game makes a huge difference down

1256
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: the field. Now you don't have a safety over the top,

1257
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: so you allow your outside players, your skill positions, your

1258
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers, your offensive line, your quarterback to make huge

1259
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 1: plays down the field. Most of the big plays in

1260
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: the passing game across the NFL from the dawn of

1261
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 1: time have come from play action pass. What doesn't work

1262
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:45,759
Speaker 1: if you don't have a running game? Play action pass,

1263
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: play action pass.

1264
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 2: Yep, Well, I tell you what. I don't know how

1265
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 2: you tell a running back to do this. It doesn't

1266
01:15:56,320 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 2: seem like a fair thing. But ETN brings up Christian

1267
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 2: McCaffrey and I can tell you that the perception and

1268
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 2: that is often how guys get paid.

1269
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: It's based on the perception.

1270
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 2: That you are one of the big reasons why a

1271
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 2: team is winning. You know, I mean, look at the

1272
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 2: history just in the last six seven years of the

1273
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers and contracts there are really, gosh,

1274
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 2: there are not a lot of guys that they have

1275
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 2: brought in via trade and then made those guys high

1276
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 2: priced players. You know, some of them have already been

1277
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 2: making big money upon the acquisition. McCaffrey is one of

1278
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 2: those d Fords. Another then there's a guy like Jimmy Garoppolo.

1279
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 2: The perception was, after he arrived and went six to zero,

1280
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 2: we got our guy. This guy equals wins, and for

1281
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 2: a hot minute, after six games, he was already the

1282
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 2: highest PID player in the NFL. McCaffrey is getting paid

1283
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 2: and the forty nine ers are happy to do it

1284
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 2: because they acquired him and the moment he started starting

1285
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 2: will they never lost again until the NFC title game

1286
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 2: with no quarterback. So the Niners are looking at this

1287
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:26,520
Speaker 2: and going, McCaffrey equals wins.

1288
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 1: And no problem paying sixteen million dollars for that.

1289
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 3: None, absolutely none.

1290
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 2: And that's what's difficult for these running backs because I

1291
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 2: don't think there are very many other McCaffrey's out there

1292
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 2: where where franchises are like that guy right there, that

1293
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 2: guy is the key for us to win. It's why

1294
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry is paid because the Titans are like.

1295
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, the hell are we doing? What are we

1296
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 3: doing on that guy?

1297
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: Think about that? Think about that if they would have

1298
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: gave tennehel the type of money and not gave Dereck

1299
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 1: Henry the money, right, What that's what it feels like

1300
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:10,800
Speaker 1: in New York. Yeah, that's what it feels like.

1301
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 3: I know.

1302
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 2: But by the same token, they haven't had as much

1303
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 2: success they right, they had one that one trip to

1304
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs here last year. But does Saquon Barkley equal wins?

1305
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:29,840
Speaker 1: Debatable?

1306
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:34,759
Speaker 2: I would say yes, I like I and I would

1307
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 2: tend to agree, but not to the level of a

1308
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 2: Henry or a mccap.

1309
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: So we'll let me ask you this. Remember when Derrick

1310
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,759
Speaker 1: Henry missed what the last five games of the Tennessee

1311
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:48,800
Speaker 1: still had the first uh first overall seat? Yeap, what

1312
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:52,599
Speaker 1: we're talking about? What we're talking about?

1313
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:58,679
Speaker 2: There, you go, that's why he's paid. That's why he's paid,

1314
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:02,679
Speaker 2: you know. But the Cowboys are gonna sit here and go,

1315
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:06,719
Speaker 2: we're gonna hold on for We're gonna cut Zeke because

1316
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 2: it didn't equal enough wins and we're gonna hold on

1317
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,679
Speaker 2: for a second here on Tony Pollard, let's find out

1318
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:15,719
Speaker 2: if he equals wins.

1319
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs wants.

1320
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 3: To get paid.

1321
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 2: The Raiders are like, nih, we were out of it

1322
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 2: by week twelve.

1323
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:30,759
Speaker 1: What are we paying for? So it's tough.

1324
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 2: It's tough because the play callers have got to call

1325
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:35,679
Speaker 2: your number for you to have that kind of a season.

1326
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 3: It's out of your hands, but that's what they need.

1327
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 1: Man. I remember it was about winning. That's crazy, Remember that.

1328
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:50,799
Speaker 1: Remember those days, man, that was just you were drafted.

1329
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: What happened to you? Best at best eleven on the field? Period?

1330
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:58,480
Speaker 1: Uh huh?

1331
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 2: All right, coming up now, Dame, We're not done with

1332
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 2: you yet, and neither is the league.

1333
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 3: More on the Lillard situation coming up next.

Speaker 1: Well, you see it this time of year, all the time.

1339
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 2: In fact, the Colts are trying to make Jonathan Taylor

1340
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 2: the next example of someone who has quote unquote overplayed

1341
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 2: their hand. The example that I hear the most in

1342
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 2: recent years is Le'Veon Bell. Can we agree overplayed the hand?

1343
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 2: You end up in a situation that's not as good

1344
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 2: with less money than what you were being offered, and

1345
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 2: now you're a celebrity boxer. Like I understood what Le'Veon

1346
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 2: was doing, but at the same time, he overplayed his hand.

1347
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 2: Is the same now true for one Damian Lillard. We're

1348
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrac dot

1352
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 2: here we are, and the NBA basically sent out a

1353
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:23,760
Speaker 2: memo addressing Dame Lillard's trade request, not just that he

1354
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 2: wanted to be traded, but his desire to play directly

1355
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 2: and only for the Miami Heat.

1356
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: The memo said.

1357
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 2: That the league had ended up interviewing both Lillard and

1358
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 2: his agent talking about whether or not his agent, Aaron Goodwood,

1359
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 2: had called other teams and warned them against training for

1360
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 2: trading for Lillard because he would be unhappy going anywhere

1361
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 2: other than Miami. So here we are now, damage control time.

1362
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 2: The Lillard campus backpedalings, saying, look, this is Damian Lillard

1363
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:03,639
Speaker 2: we're talking about.

1364
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: Of course, he's got his head screwed on straight.

1365
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 2: Of course he will play hard for whoever acquires him. Goodwin,

1366
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:19,480
Speaker 2: the agent quote denied stating or indicated to any team

1367
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 2: that Lillard would refuse to play for them. Okay, sure.

1368
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that didn't come from nowhere. But here's

1369
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 2: the backtrack and the most important evidence of all, Ephraim.

1370
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: We're still sitting here. Nothing's happened.

1371
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:45,759
Speaker 2: It's been weeks, it paused, free agency, July is about

1372
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 2: to turn into August, and all of this stuff is

1373
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 2: just still sitting there.

1374
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:52,839
Speaker 1: On a platter in the NBA.

1375
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 2: Because of this situation, I applaud the Portland Blazers for

1376
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 2: not blinking. I don't know where this is gonna end

1377
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 2: up going, But Dame Lollard overplayed his hand.

1378
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he overplayed his hand. And I think you know,

1379
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 1: to his agent's defense and to his defense, they didn't

1380
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 1: say he wouldn't play for you. They said he wouldn't

1381
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:25,920
Speaker 1: be happy. Yep, And there's a difference. But I always said,

1382
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't give if he happy, You're gonna be here

1383
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:31,839
Speaker 1: for the next five years, So you better get happy,

1384
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 1: because there's not much you can do. If we trade

1385
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 1: for you and we bring you in and we're trying

1386
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:42,640
Speaker 1: to compete for a title, we'll see how long you

1387
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: middle around. And it's just it's a bad look when

1388
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: when agents and players try to orchestrate certain things. Because

1389
01:23:56,479 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 1: now it becomes it's not a fair market now. You know,

1390
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:06,080
Speaker 1: you aren't playing by the same rules that everybody else

1391
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 1: is playing by. Now, there have been many of things

1392
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 1: that were you know, unspoken rules and deals done and

1393
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 1: closed doors the room where it happens, so to speak,

1394
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 1: to steal from Hamilton. But this day and age, everything

1395
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: gets out now, so it's a different climate. Things that

1396
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: were done in secret and in secret handshakes, they no

1397
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 1: longer exist because somebody's telling somebody something and it makes

1398
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 1: it hard to facilitate those types of deals. And you know,

1399
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 1: Willie get traded before the season, probably not. And so

1400
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, let's just say, I don't know, just for

1401
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 1: the sake of argument, that Dallas is really good, right

1402
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:14,280
Speaker 1: and they want to bring him in to be with

1403
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: with Luca and and Kyrie. Now it doesn't seem too

1404
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: bad right now. Damian lit is like, okay, well, but

1405
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: in Dallas we got a shot. So to me, that's

1406
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 1: what the Trailblazers are holding off for. They got all

1407
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 1: the way to February. So we're gonna roll this thing out.

1408
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: Something pops before the season and it's great and it

1409
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 1: helps our franchise, then we'll do it. If not. We'll

1410
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 1: wait and see. We got plenty of time. Still just

1411
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 1: kicks in just now. Yep.

1412
01:25:56,080 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 2: Fascinating, right. I mean, we we have lives through the

1413
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 2: last decade of building player empowerment in sports, and I

1414
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 2: think it's a great thing. However, it has to sort

1415
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:14,759
Speaker 2: of like there has to be an ebb and flow.

1416
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 2: There has to be that give and take the same way.

1417
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 2: It can't be what it was before where the players,

1418
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, the teams just run everything and have all

1419
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 2: the power, but we can't head to a situation where

1420
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:28,759
Speaker 2: the players have one hundred percent of the plower either.

1421
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 1: For all kinds of reasons.

1422
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 2: One of them for me, is actually a little bit

1423
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 2: of a quirky reason, but it doesn't feel You sort

1424
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 2: of said, like the market's not fair when you do

1425
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 2: it this way, and I agree, Like, in other words,

1426
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 2: I want if my team's going to be great, if

1427
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:50,640
Speaker 2: my team's going to get an incredible pickup, a great acquisition,

1428
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 2: I would like for that to be done within the

1429
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 2: framework of how you acquire a player, like be amazing

1430
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:00,839
Speaker 2: and acquire a player, whether that's through a cool trade,

1431
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 2: whether it's the Hampton's five showing up at Kevin Durant's

1432
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 2: doorstep and convincing him you know your free agent pitch.

1433
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 3: If that's how you do it, that's.

1434
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 2: Part of team building, and I want to root for

1435
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 2: my general manager and my.

1436
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 1: Teams to be able to do that. Well, there's no

1437
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: rooting interest.

1438
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 2: There's nothing that got done if you're just sitting there

1439
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,760
Speaker 2: with your feet up on an automan and a great

1440
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 2: players like I want to go there and only there. Well,

1441
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 2: like it got handed to you, So it doesn't feel

1442
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 2: as clean. But there's a quote here from general manager

1443
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 2: Joe Cronin that I think is really important in the

1444
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 2: pushback of all of this. He says, quote, We're going

1445
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,600
Speaker 2: to be patient. We're going to do what's best for

1446
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 2: our team. We're going to see how this lands, and

1447
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:55,040
Speaker 2: if it takes months, it takes months. Nowhere in there

1448
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 2: does he say we're not trading you, dame, We're in control.

1449
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 2: He doesn't say that this is I hear you. We're

1450
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 2: going to work on it. But I'm not bending over backwards.

1451
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 2: I'm not getting kicked in the teeth on the way

1452
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 2: out the door for you. We're still running a team here,

1453
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 2: and I think that's important. That's important. Kirk cousins can

1454
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 2: get guaranteed money.

1455
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 3: That's great.

1456
01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 2: But NBA players like will handle the fantasy sports Okay,

1457
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 2: August is a big month, will handle the drafting of players.

1458
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 2: I don't want the players to start playing fantasy basketball

1459
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:43,759
Speaker 2: anymore than they already are because that's just quite frankly,

1460
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,040
Speaker 2: it takes the fans out of the whole process.

1461
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. And you know the thing about you know,

1462
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: people say what they want to say about Lebron and

1463
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 1: the decision. He made the decision on his own. He

1464
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:07,679
Speaker 1: was a free agent, that's correct. He chose to go there.

1465
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 1: KD chose to go to Golden State. The contractor was over.

1466
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:20,479
Speaker 1: Stop signing extensions. If you want to be a free

1467
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 1: agent and pick where you want to go. The problem

1468
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 1: is they need that money. They need to sign the

1469
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 1: extension to get the money. So now that they're tradable,

1470
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:37,640
Speaker 1: so there's the flaw in that system. So for me,

1471
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:45,719
Speaker 1: it's like, I can respect you as someone who plays

1472
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 1: out your contract, hits the free agent market and pick it,

1473
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: pick exactly where you want to go. Now you can

1474
01:29:56,439 --> 01:30:00,200
Speaker 1: play anywhere you want to, it's your choice. But put

1475
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:03,599
Speaker 1: that type of demand on a team, I'm not running

1476
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 1: my company like that.

1477
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 2: You said a second ago that you don't think this

1478
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 2: is done before the season starts. You think Dame Lillard's

1479
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 2: got more games in a Blazer's uniform.

1480
01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 1: Yes. Interesting? Interesting?

1481
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean by now, I feel like I feel like

1482
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:29,600
Speaker 2: I'm getting closer to agreeing with you. I don't know

1483
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 2: if I'm quite there yet, but I could see it.

1484
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 2: I could see it because the Blazers are resolute. They're

1485
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:39,719
Speaker 2: not going to blink on this. They've proven that much already.

1486
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:41,639
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that they the right deal won't come

1487
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 2: along tomorrow, but if they do it, it's because they think.

1488
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 1: There's no paining them better. There's no pain, right.

1489
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 2: Well, what do they have to lose? I mean that

1490
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:58,479
Speaker 2: in many ways, that's part of it. What incentive do

1491
01:30:58,560 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 2: the Blazers.

1492
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:00,280
Speaker 1: Have to jump.

1493
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 2: It's not like they're winning the title next year and

1494
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 2: they know that, And it's not like the Heat have

1495
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 2: some player that they're oh my gosh, we got to

1496
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 2: get our hands on him now. You know, go back

1497
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:19,479
Speaker 2: to the Pelicans and Anthony Davis. At a certain point,

1498
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:21,439
Speaker 2: I think they looked at this and went, you know,

1499
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:27,519
Speaker 2: brandon Ingram's pretty nice. And then there's some other pieces

1500
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 2: in here too, and yeah, you know what, like we're

1501
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:32,360
Speaker 2: gonna get We're gonna get a.

1502
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 1: Squad out of this.

1503
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 2: If I'm Portland, I'm like Tyler Herro, like okay, yeah,

1504
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:43,080
Speaker 2: good play.

1505
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:47,519
Speaker 1: But what is that really in the big picture? What

1506
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:49,280
Speaker 1: does that really do for you?

1507
01:31:52,000 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 2: Not much? Yeah, not much. There's no urge and see

1508
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:04,600
Speaker 2: there nope. And and so they're smart. They're smart I

1509
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:05,559
Speaker 2: think for playing the way.

1510
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:07,559
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, we're gonna take our time, we're gonna do

1511
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 1: what's best for the Like he said, the franchise, you

1512
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: will no longer be on the franchise. So we're just

1513
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:18,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be sitting here with nothing.

1523
01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:59,720
Speaker 2: it's smart, Willody from salam from Next time I talk

1524
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 2: to you, who is going to be August? You know

1525
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:08,080
Speaker 2: what happens in August? Back to school? That's a correct answer.

1526
01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 2: You know what else happens in August?

1527
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:11,440
Speaker 1: Preseason?

1528
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:15,760
Speaker 2: Also a correct answer. Any other answers you'd like to

1529
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 2: throw out there of the beginning to fall? I actually

1530
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:28,800
Speaker 2: don't think that happens in August. But anyway, how about

1531
01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:29,839
Speaker 2: our fantasy drafts?

1532
01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:32,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let.

1533
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 2: Me throw this at you man, because we're having this

1534
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:41,200
Speaker 2: conversation about running backs. And while I know every NFL

1535
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:47,679
Speaker 2: fan out there, first and foremost cares about the people

1536
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 2: inside those helmets e from That's all anybody cares about it.

1537
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 2: They care about the people, you know what I mean,

1538
01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:00,120
Speaker 2: their life, their career, if they're going to be okay.

1539
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 1: Know they don't.

1540
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:05,679
Speaker 2: You know what everyone really cares about when these running

1541
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:07,040
Speaker 2: back situations come up.

1542
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:10,800
Speaker 1: They want to know how it's going to affect the

1543
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:12,080
Speaker 1: fantasy draft.

1544
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:17,280
Speaker 2: So what if I throw you some names based on

1545
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 2: things that we know, and you tell me how effective

1546
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:25,680
Speaker 2: you think this running back is going to be because

1547
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:27,840
Speaker 2: of what may or may not be hanging over said

1548
01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:33,840
Speaker 2: running backs head. Okay, I've got the running back ADP

1549
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:38,000
Speaker 2: average draft position right now, even though if you've already

1550
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:41,400
Speaker 2: had your draft, you're a weirdo. That's just oh yeah,

1551
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 2: you can't even can't do that. I hope, Hope was

1552
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 2: drafted yet, dude, I got one next weekend. It was

1553
01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:49,160
Speaker 2: totally out of my control. I'm like, what are we doing, Like,

1554
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,800
Speaker 2: we haven't even gotten a camp report yet, and you're

1555
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,599
Speaker 2: gonna ask me to find a sleeper in round thirteen.

1556
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,799
Speaker 1: I got no idea who these people are yet, But anyway,

1557
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:00,720
Speaker 1: I digress.

1558
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:06,120
Speaker 2: Top ten running backs right now average draft position based

1559
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:10,760
Speaker 2: on Fantasy aggregate. The top running back being selected right

1560
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:17,000
Speaker 2: now is Christian McCaffrey. Now, last year and the year

1561
01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 2: before that, people were always hesitant because of the injury history.

1562
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 2: Now he made it through a healthy season. Fires right

1563
01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:27,519
Speaker 2: back up the board. Is that a little bit too

1564
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 2: much faith in the health of Christian McCaffrey. No, okay,

1565
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:39,920
Speaker 2: your all systems go, all systems go. Second one off

1566
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:43,960
Speaker 2: the board is Austin Eckler. He is the coordinator of

1567
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 2: the running back Zoom. He is in a contract year

1568
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:53,519
Speaker 2: with the Los Angeles Chargers. He is a guy who

1569
01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:59,720
Speaker 2: is a poor man's Christian McCaffrey volume touches, and we

1570
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:04,880
Speaker 2: know that the faucet gets turned off quick on guys

1571
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:08,680
Speaker 2: in that situation. Any hesitation about Austin Eckler, what do

1572
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:10,000
Speaker 2: you think is gonna happen.

1573
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:11,640
Speaker 1: With his season? No? I think he's gonna have a

1574
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:17,439
Speaker 1: great season. You do, yeah, I think you know, the

1575
01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:23,679
Speaker 1: offensive minded offensive coordinator coming in. He's such a big

1576
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:30,160
Speaker 1: part of that offense and that team because he can

1577
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:32,360
Speaker 1: do bevy of things. You know. Obviously, the first two

1578
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:36,080
Speaker 1: running backs you mentioned are not just running backs. They

1579
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 1: touched the ball sometimes more in the air or out

1580
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:43,920
Speaker 1: of the backfield than they do being it handed to him.

1581
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 1: So I think that's important when drafting.

1582
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:54,880
Speaker 2: Third running back off the board is Saquon Barkley. Now,

1583
01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:58,920
Speaker 2: essentially he's in a contract year as well. They've got

1584
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:04,160
Speaker 2: it figured out. He's going to play chip on his shoulder.

1585
01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:07,920
Speaker 2: Are the Giants going to be incentivized to rotate some

1586
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:10,280
Speaker 2: other guys in a little bit more? What do you

1587
01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 2: think happens with him? No, I wouldn't do that. He

1588
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 2: wouldn't be third for me for some reason. It's just

1589
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:20,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, man. I would love for him to

1590
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:27,440
Speaker 2: go dominate, But then what's the incentive? I mean, sheesh,

1591
01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:30,400
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, yeah, this is a contract here,

1592
01:37:30,439 --> 01:37:32,960
Speaker 2: it's very important for him to dominate. But I wouldn't

1593
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:37,559
Speaker 2: take him third. What's the hesitation on why he'll play?

1594
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,120
Speaker 2: You saying the Giant's going to hold him back?

1595
01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 1: No, I just don't think. I mean, it's gonna be

1596
01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:45,839
Speaker 1: difficult for him with thirteen and I'm not thirteen thirteen.

1597
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:51,639
Speaker 1: Sometimes I tell you what been office of line becuse,

1598
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:53,519
Speaker 1: sometimes I feel like they got thirteen. It's like, where

1599
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:54,719
Speaker 1: are all these people coming from?

1600
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:57,680
Speaker 2: You know what's running back on the board is right now?

1601
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:03,719
Speaker 2: The guy had didnt play an NFL snap yet. That's

1602
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:11,360
Speaker 2: Jon Robinson Atlanta Falcons. And especially with a viral video

1603
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:14,680
Speaker 2: that from about four days ago with him running a

1604
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:17,120
Speaker 2: route catch the ball with one hand in practice, people

1605
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 2: are going to be all over this guy.

1606
01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm always hesitant. The last guy that felt like this

1607
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:22,760
Speaker 1: to me in.

1608
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:27,639
Speaker 2: A fantasy draft was Clyde Edwards Hilaire because everybody was like, well,

1609
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:30,760
Speaker 2: that's it, Like he's with Andy Reid and it is

1610
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 2: going to be unbelievable.

1611
01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be just a complete video game.

1612
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:42,320
Speaker 2: All year long, and it wasn't, and it wasn't, and

1613
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 2: within a couple of years he's not even the starting

1614
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:47,960
Speaker 2: running back anymore. There, So I don't know buying or

1615
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:56,040
Speaker 2: selling on Bijon. I'm selling, you're selling, Yeah, I wouldn't.

1616
01:38:56,840 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 1: It is difficult for me to be all in on

1617
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:03,559
Speaker 1: rookie rookie running backs.

1618
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,280
Speaker 2: Why is that always feel like that's the position that Yeah,

1619
01:39:08,320 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 2: but it's the closest to turnkey.

1620
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but depending on the team Atlanta said doesn't have

1621
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:18,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback, there's a lot that they'll be asked to

1622
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 1: do and it could be too much and you may

1623
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:30,479
Speaker 1: not get You'll have some lulls. You'll have a couple

1624
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 1: of weeks where it's twenty two yards and like youep,

1625
01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:44,840
Speaker 1: those are those are very you know, losable weeks when

1626
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:46,439
Speaker 1: we're talking about Pettersey football.

1627
01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:47,960
Speaker 3: Okay, next one.

1628
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:50,400
Speaker 2: And I'm sure this is about to change because this

1629
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 2: list that I'm giving to you is probably twenty four

1630
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:57,280
Speaker 2: hours old. But the number five running back on the

1631
01:39:57,280 --> 01:40:00,400
Speaker 2: list is Jonathan Taylor. How would you have handle this?

1632
01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 2: The bigger question is where do you think this is going?

1633
01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 2: What happens this year now? Between him and the cults.

1634
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:08,799
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wouldn't. I'm with Dereck Henry. It's coming.

1635
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:13,799
Speaker 3: We're not there yet. Oh he's coming.

1636
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm hearing these names. I'm like, what we forgot about

1637
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:21,479
Speaker 1: the one grown man that still playing running back?

1638
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:27,559
Speaker 3: I forgot about d No, but Jonathan Taylor, Like, I mean,

1639
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:28,559
Speaker 3: is he playing this year?

1640
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:31,120
Speaker 1: We don't know. It's too much on surrounding it, like

1641
01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:34,840
Speaker 1: if you do that, you're going to you're taking him

1642
01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:38,599
Speaker 1: in the first round. Well, I don't think anyone's doing

1643
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 1: that anymore.

1644
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm more interested in the football sense now of like

1645
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 2: what are his options right the Colts. I listen the

1646
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:52,440
Speaker 2: conversation we had earlier where the Colts are quote considering

1647
01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:55,760
Speaker 2: putting him on the non football injury list. To me,

1648
01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:57,480
Speaker 2: that's the big word they're considering.

1649
01:40:57,560 --> 01:40:58,519
Speaker 1: It's a scare tactic.

1650
01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 2: It's a scared they're just floating it out there. Told

1651
01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:06,720
Speaker 2: that every single big name NFL reporter has this g

1652
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 2: I wonder how they all got it at once mass

1653
01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:13,799
Speaker 2: text message we're considering doing this. It's just a message

1654
01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:15,559
Speaker 2: that's not what they want to do, nor is it

1655
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 2: what they're going to do. I think this whole thing

1656
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:21,880
Speaker 2: gets figured out before Week one because it has to

1657
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 2: the two sides don't have much of a choice. However,

1658
01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:28,600
Speaker 2: there is more pressure on Jonathan than there is on

1659
01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 2: the Colts.

1660
01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 3: There's no question about that.

1661
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know the cults are You know. One

1662
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:40,120
Speaker 1: thing Jim mer Say did say is if he doesn't

1663
01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:42,479
Speaker 1: play this year, that the league's gonna continue on.

1664
01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb is the sixth one. He's gonna do his thing.

1665
01:41:47,400 --> 01:41:51,760
Speaker 2: Everything seems normal there. Number seven is Josh Jacobs. You

1666
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:54,639
Speaker 2: think Josh Jacobs is going to uh still know Dereck

1667
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 2: Henry he coming next?

1668
01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:00,320
Speaker 1: Man? Well, what are you gonna say about Derek Henry?

1669
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, nomber. What I'm saying is, in terms of drafting,

1670
01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:07,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put any of those court running backs in

1671
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:10,760
Speaker 1: front of Derrick Henry, the ones that we're uncertain about,

1672
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:18,439
Speaker 1: Bijon Taylor, Saquon, what nah, I'm gonna go with a

1673
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:22,599
Speaker 1: shoot that we know Derek Henry gonna get three hundred carries. Well,

1674
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:24,680
Speaker 1: that's kind of the worry. I think it is what

1675
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 1: it is. At this point, he's still working out carrying

1676
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:29,920
Speaker 1: trucks down the street, So I get it.

1677
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 2: But isn't Derek I think Derek Henry's about to turn thirty.

1678
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:35,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's twenty.

1679
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 3: Nine years old.

1680
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:37,759
Speaker 1: Some people just built different, man.

1681
01:42:38,240 --> 01:42:41,280
Speaker 2: I know he's gonna turn thirty during the playoffs this year.

1682
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: Some people just built different. I feel you.

1683
01:42:46,880 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard is also on that franchise center. He's gonna

1684
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 2: do it his backfield now in Dallas. What do you

1685
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:53,360
Speaker 2: think that looks like?

1686
01:42:55,800 --> 01:42:58,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Dallas is a weird team. It's always

1687
01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:01,400
Speaker 1: been weird. It's hard to quantify who's going to do

1688
01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:06,200

1689
01:43:06,240 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 1: that change his approach? Does that change the dynamic of

1690
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: the offense, although he was pretty much the guy last

1691

Speaker 2: with the extra playoff spots in a lot of these divisions.

1788
01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:21,160

1790
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:28,599
Speaker 2: a couple of days away. And then did you catch

1791
01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:32,760
Speaker 2: what Steve said about what Jonathan Taylor just tweeted?

1792
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:35,080
Speaker 1: This is less than fifteen minutes ago.

1793
01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:39,639
Speaker 2: E from number one never had a back pain?

1794
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 1: Wow?

1795
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 2: Number two never reported back pain. Not sure who your

1796
01:48:45,439 --> 01:48:47,639
Speaker 2: sources are, but find new.

1797
01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:49,200
Speaker 1: Ones, get new sources.

1798
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:58,160
Speaker 2: Okay, well it's already begun, like the Colts and Jonathan

1799
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:01,600
Speaker 2: Taylor have a full blown game of chicken going on,

1800
01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 2: and everybody is exercising their power. And I go back

1801
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:10,679
Speaker 2: to our conversation about Dame Lillard. Sometimes that's a good thing.

1802
01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:13,800
Speaker 2: Normalize the power, get it going in both directions so

1803
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,879
Speaker 2: that it is shared and there's leverage on both sides.

1804
01:49:17,560 --> 01:49:21,160
Speaker 2: And that is how you know, we joked that Ross

1805
01:49:21,200 --> 01:49:24,559
Speaker 2: Tucker was like, just tell them your back's feeling better,

1806
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:28,800
Speaker 2: go out there and fake a real injury out of practice.

1807
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 3: Then they've got to pay you well.

1808
01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:34,280
Speaker 2: Instead of doing that, this is what Jonathan and his

1809
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:39,000
Speaker 2: agent sat down and decided to do. If you don't

1810
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:41,559
Speaker 2: your back's not hurting and you didn't report back pain,

1811
01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:43,240
Speaker 2: that's easy.

1812
01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:44,360
Speaker 3: Make it public.

1813
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:47,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, everybody must know.

1814
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:51,840
Speaker 2: Right And you and I already agreed that the Colts

1815
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:54,000
Speaker 2: were not coming from a genuine place. It was just

1816
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:59,879
Speaker 2: a threat, and Jonathan found a way to diffuse it.

1817
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a dangerous game. That's a dangerous game that

1818
01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 1: the Colts are playing. Not surprising, uh, given the history

1819
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:15,799
Speaker 1: of of of Orsay and the things that he shouldn't

1820
01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:20,080
Speaker 1: be doing or shouldn't have done. But you know, look,

1821
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:23,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna see, man, this kid is definitely valuable to that,

1822
01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:27,439
Speaker 1: to that franchise, if they if they hope to win anything,

1823
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 1: He's got to be a part. He has to be

1824
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:32,400
Speaker 1: a part of it. So it just baffles me that

1825
01:50:33,479 --> 01:50:37,639
Speaker 1: this is just so cavalier about his worth. I mean,

1826
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:43,160
Speaker 1: if you're Anthony Richardson, what are you thinking right now? Man? Lord,

1827
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 1: please make this happen, right?

1828
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:48,360
Speaker 3: This is the organization that drafted me.

1829
01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna take away my best player before I

1830
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 2: even play a.

1831
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:55,679
Speaker 1: Snap, before I even play a snap.

1832
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:59,920
Speaker 3: Good lord, that's.

1833
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:02,160
Speaker 1: That's bad.

1834
01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:06,919
Speaker 2: This, I mean this, you know, to borrow state classy

1835
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:07,800
Speaker 2: San Diego.

1836
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:09,719
Speaker 3: That escalated quickly.

1837
01:51:11,439 --> 01:51:15,519
Speaker 1: Four days ago, nobody even knew there was a problem,

1838
01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:16,280
Speaker 1: And in.

1839
01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:20,040
Speaker 2: What feels like fifty hours, we've had a trade request,

1840
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:23,320
Speaker 2: We've had a meeting inside of a bus. We got

1841
01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:26,160

1882
01:53:48,720 --> 01:53:52,479

1883
01:53:52,680 --> 01:53:54,960
Speaker 2: if you had a few more of those. Although I

1884
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:58,280
Speaker 2: will say this, my man, those stats that came out

1885
01:53:58,320 --> 01:54:02,439
Speaker 2: just a couple of days ago about baseball's attendance being

1886
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:07,080
Speaker 2: up across the board. It's such a unique lane that

1887
01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:11,839
Speaker 2: this sport has. And social media everyone's like it's dying

1888
01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:16,000
Speaker 2: and they don't know how to market themselves. And on

1889
01:54:16,080 --> 01:54:23,960
Speaker 2: TV it's too regional. But attendance up, that's gotta say something,

1890
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:28,920
Speaker 2: doesn't it. Well, it's summertime, yeah, but it was summertime

1891
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:29,800
Speaker 2: last year too.

1892
01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean there's a little bit of buzz going

1893
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:35,160
Speaker 1: on right now. You know, when you have the show

1894
01:54:35,200 --> 01:54:38,480
Speaker 1: Haze and all of the big spending they had in

1895
01:54:38,520 --> 01:54:43,600
Speaker 1: the off season. People want to see, right, it's they

1896
01:54:43,640 --> 01:54:46,440
Speaker 1: want to see can they sustain? It's nothing else on

1897
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:52,600
Speaker 1: It's nowhere else to go watch anything right now, So

1898
01:54:53,800 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 1: in two weeks that'll be different. I don't know about that. Man,

1899
01:54:57,440 --> 01:54:57,840
Speaker 1: talk to me.

1900
01:54:58,760 --> 01:55:00,800
Speaker 3: You're not watching quarterback on Netflix?

1901
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:04,880

01:55:23,320 --> 01:55:25,080
Speaker 2: you're just You're so dismissive right now?

1908
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:27,520
Speaker 1: No, I like, I love quarterbacks. I mean I made

1909
01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:31,200
Speaker 1: my life and my livelihood protecting them. But I don't

1910
01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:33,600
Speaker 1: want to be at home watching the stories of them. Like,

1911
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:37,920
Speaker 1: that's just not me. Sorry, why not you want to?

1912
01:55:38,120 --> 01:55:41,160
Speaker 1: You're a storyteller? Are you going to make me watch quarterbacks?

1913
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:43,160
Speaker 3: Is that what I think I might? I think I might.

1914
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:46,320

Speaker 1: For crying out loud, good luck.

1917
01:55:49,880 --> 01:55:52,080
Speaker 2: And that makes it one hundred shows in a row

1918
01:55:52,120 --> 01:55:53,960
Speaker 2: where I've referenced the remote control.

1919
01:55:53,680 --> 01:55:56,160
Speaker 1: Story, But I don't know what you're talking about allegedly.

1920
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you don't, No, but you're a storyteller

1921
01:55:59,600 --> 01:56:00,800
Speaker 2: in your football player.

1922
01:56:00,920 --> 01:56:02,120
Speaker 3: It's like Taylor made for you.

1923

Speaker 1: Yeah. Men, Netflix beefing, Well, Netflix and all of the

Speaker 1: Way to stand in solidarity with your co hosts. Well,

1935
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean I could pause, if you'd like me to

1936
01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:48,839
Speaker 1: pause the subscription until you know, we come to terms.

1937
01:56:49,200 --> 01:56:51,960
Speaker 1: Does that mean I'm gonna have to change my passwords?

1938
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1939
01:56:53,120 --> 01:56:56,480
Speaker 2: It's very difficult to keep track of all the passwords.

1940
01:56:56,600 --> 01:56:59,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what they are. Now you're gonna make

1941
01:56:59,440 --> 01:57:02,520
Speaker 2: me change to another one? Very difficult.

1942
01:57:03,440 --> 01:57:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, man, I want to get back to work,

1943
01:57:05,880 --> 01:57:06,880
Speaker 1: just like everybody else wants to.

1944
01:57:06,840 --> 01:57:10,200
Speaker 2: Get back to work. Yeah, yeah, I hear you. I

1945
01:57:10,240 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 2: hear you. Hey, have you come around yet? Do you

1946
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:16,800
Speaker 2: believe me now that Sean Payton meant to do this

1947
01:57:16,880 --> 01:57:17,680
Speaker 2: the entire time?

1948
01:57:19,880 --> 01:57:24,480
Speaker 1: Probably? Yeah, I think I've come around. I don't think

1949
01:57:24,520 --> 01:57:26,560
Speaker 1: you're that far from way. I really wasn't that far,

1950
01:57:27,080 --> 01:57:28,680
Speaker 1: you know. I was just trying to make a good

1951
01:57:28,760 --> 01:57:29,600
Speaker 1: radio you know.

1952
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:34,120
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, I get this is I just look,

1953
01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:38,640
Speaker 2: we sometimes call it lying season, like when we leave

1954
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:43,520
Speaker 2: the draft. I mean, you know this, I don't really

1955
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:49,440
Speaker 2: call it so much lying. I think teams, coaches, they

1956
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:53,840
Speaker 2: say to you what they can say to you, but

1957
01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:57,760
Speaker 2: they have to leave out a lot and then the

1958
01:57:57,840 --> 01:58:02,200
Speaker 2: context of why that's where you're not gonna get the

1959
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:06,560
Speaker 2: truth and you can't. We're dealing with this on a

1960
01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:08,920
Speaker 2: daily basis in San Francisco.

1961
01:58:08,440 --> 01:58:10,040
Speaker 1: Right now, following the forty nine ers.

1962
01:58:11,440 --> 01:58:19,520
Speaker 2: Hey, Kyle, why isn't Trey Lance getting more practice reps? Well,

1963
01:58:19,800 --> 01:58:23,440
Speaker 2: you know, because because Brandon Allen earned some reps and

1964
01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:26,960
Speaker 2: OTA's and he's really good, and we think sam Donold

1965
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:28,880
Speaker 2: can be a star, and brock Perty is our starter

1966
01:58:29,040 --> 01:58:32,440
Speaker 2: and Trey's never looked better, and we have four good quarterbacks,

1967
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:34,320
Speaker 2: and we ran out of quarterbacks last year, so we

1968
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:36,240
Speaker 2: would hate to run out of quarterbacks again. So we're

1969
01:58:36,280 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 2: just gonna keep rotating all of them.

1970
01:58:40,640 --> 01:58:46,120
Speaker 1: That's not a full answer, of course. I mean, it's

1971
01:58:46,160 --> 01:58:49,720
Speaker 1: an answer, but it's the one he can give you.

1972
01:58:51,400 --> 01:58:53,000
Speaker 3: It's the one he can give you.

1973
01:58:54,040 --> 01:58:57,760
Speaker 2: So Sean Payton apologized because that's the answer that he

1974
01:58:57,920 --> 01:58:58,760
Speaker 2: can give you.

1975
01:58:59,800 --> 01:59:01,600
Speaker 1: It does not mean we have to take it at

1976
01:59:01,960 --> 01:59:05,080
Speaker 1: face value. And he didn't apologize for what he what

1977
01:59:05,160 --> 01:59:09,680
Speaker 1: he said. He apologized where he said it.

1978
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:12,760
Speaker 3: That he said it exactly, that he said it out loud.

1979
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,040
Speaker 1: It's like I thought, I just thought that he said.

1980
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:22,240
Speaker 1: He didn't say. I shouldn't have said that. I was wrong.

1981
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:27,680
Speaker 1: That's not the pace. Yeah, I thought I was at

1982
01:59:27,680 --> 01:59:28,440
Speaker 1: the barbershop.

1983
01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, I thought I was.

1984
01:59:32,760 --> 01:59:36,080
Speaker 1: Job when they paid me to criticize people, I fell

1985
01:59:36,120 --> 01:59:39,000
Speaker 1: back into my analyst role. And I'm like, I watched

1986
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:42,800
Speaker 1: you as an analyst. You never talk like that? What? What? What?

1987
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:43,680
Speaker 1: What are we doing here?

1988
01:59:45,160 --> 01:59:45,520
Speaker 3: All right?

1989
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:45,760
Speaker 1: Man?

1990
01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:49,080
Speaker 2: We're inching closer, and I think we got preseason football.

1991
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:52,520
Speaker 2: The next time you and I circle back around Okay, my.

1992
01:59:52,520 --> 01:59:58,120
