1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Be around the NFL podcast finding creative new ways to

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: piss off Sisler from the Chris Westling podcast studio. It's

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: around the NFL. I'm Dan Hansas, joined in the room

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: filled with some heroes, Greg Rosenthal and yes, Mark Sessler. Mark,

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: we're starting about seventeen minutes later than intended eighteen minutes.

6
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: It just turned eighteen. We started at seventeen though, so

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: it's seventeen and I understand that does piss you off. Apologies, sir,

8
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Apology taken accepted. Um, I'm not that annoyed by it,

9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: just you can see it coming from a mile away.

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: It used to be a whole thing when our schedules

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: were a little tighter back in Culver City and West

12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: and Mark and there would it would be like a

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: conversation before the podcast, and West, as the money drop indicated,

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: would delight in Marke getting increasingly upset. Although he would

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: get upset your corner. I was not on an island

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: on the one West and I very much. Um, you know,

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: time matters to us, punctuality is important to us, and

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: we were linked at the hip on that one. Sometimes

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: I feel maligned in that department because just acceptance myself

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: as the host of this program. Uh so that's accurate.

21
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: While you're doing, uh your little build up for segments

22
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: and you're studying. I have to do that, but then

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: I also have to do all the other elements that

24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: go into building out a program, like working with you

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: could just and how long have we been talking building

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: out this show today? For instance? Minutes? Many minutes. We

27
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: buried you there. But I technically do not disagree with

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: we're we're not in contact all throughout the morning. Oh

29
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: that's true, yes, since about nine am. Sure, but you

30
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: can it's also in your nature, that's okay, Like it's

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: in my nature to try to put together the best

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: if it's not podcast related, it's in your nature to

33
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: maybe be a little late to It's just part of

34
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: the package. I remember when we first started, and those

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: are dark days in some ways looking back, But when

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: you were the boss, yes, were not early early news

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: death days. There was like it was like handsas a clock.

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: You weren't you weren't expecting him to to be punching

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: in at nine am. It'd be like nine oh seven,

40
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: Are you gonna bring that up? You can talk about

41
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: Chris Wesling a clock to which sometimes the next day

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: there was no clock. So yeah, we have. We have

43
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: infamously told me during a I think one of our

44
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: last you know, subject and boss meetings was that I

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: began as his easiest employee and finished as the most

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: tough to deal with. Yeah, that you know, so it's

47
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: not all on you and I do. I also appreciate

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: you want the truth. You don't just go to the zeus. No,

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you put your heart into preparing them. Yeah.

50
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I backed down, not even a little bit on this.

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: I have no regrets. Like today is a good show.

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: Today is going to be a really fun show. People

53
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: are gonna enjoy the show, and a lot of it

54
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: is going to go back to those extra seventeen notes. Yeah,

55
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: you got to get it right. You don't take it

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: out of the oven Sessler just because I know. But

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: this is just because dinner sometimes dinner this week is

58
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: becoming framed as if I have a major issue, where

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: all I've said verbally is that I support the effort

60
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: that you put into the Showug Dug Boats got a point.

61
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: We're back in the studio. Is this week training camps

62
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: getting rolling, We're starting to cook. It's almost like I

63
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: have a point to we we are you know, we're

64
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: just husks um who try to make meaning out of

65
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: our lives when it's not the NFL season, family and

66
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: outside things. Um. But now that it's training camp and

67
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: we're being plugged back into the machine, we feel truly

68
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: alive because we only feel alive when the microphone is on. Well,

69
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: that's your opinion. I don't even think Mark actually said that,

70
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: but that is but for all of us there, apparently

71
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: that was me, that was out loud. I will speak

72
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: for for all of us in thanking the people of

73
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: the Guardian uh, a British daily newspaper. I think it's

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: kind of a big publication, yes, over yonder and it

75
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: was also written by Trenching source of news. It was

76
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: written by Ali Connolly, who's a great analyst over there

77
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: to now working for Gridiron, who we're friends with. The

78
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: people is it's what did Ali? Greg is so tight

79
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: he doesn't refer to the man by his pen name,

80
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Oliver Connolly. I didn't know that Holly Connolly ranking the

81
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: NFL's best analysts. I've never met him, though we're spoken

82
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: with him, but I've heard him on podcasts And guess

83
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: who comes in at number seven, the boys of Around

84
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. Should I read this? Should I read it? Please?

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: I should read it. You cannot separate the three main

86
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: hosts of the Around the NFL podcast and TV vehicle

87
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: unless it's who's planning the show morning a blending humor,

88
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: analysis and ruthless honesty, the trio have built a true

89
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: one stop shop for fans. The show is the number

90
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: one NFL podcast in the UK, drawing fans to the

91
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: circus tent with mirth before offering keyn eyed observations and

92
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: updates on the league at large. It wouldn't be an

93
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: overstatement to say that the show has done more for

94
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: the growth of the game internationally than the league sending

95
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: a rope Jaguars team to London every fall. Hit it

96
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: again justin number seven. How are we number seven without

97
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: type of that was at the rite up is an

98
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: incredible um and um I liked. I love to think

99
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: it's true. I mean that the way that that right

100
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: up ended, I was like, that should be a number

101
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: one right up ending right. But I think we need

102
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: to send that along to take it the shadowy league

103
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: people take it. Yeah, Our friends at at Sky Sports

104
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: will send it to them. They they've helped us, you know,

105
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: with a partnership doing work with them internationally. I could.

106
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: I think I think everyone needs to know, and I

107
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: think it's important a couple of things. It's important that

108
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: the American listeners know what ropy means, because I certainly

109
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: didn't kind of figure out with context you can, but

110
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: just for the record, it's British and formal slang for

111
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: inferior or inadequate, slightly unwell below par. Do you feel

112
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: like you should have been mentioned more in the in

113
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: the blurb you specifically did? You can't separate the three,

114
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: It's no. I think. I think I'm totally comfortable with

115
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: the entire right up it was and it's a great

116
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: list to um. I appreciated, uh that the quality of

117
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: the list. I think spoke Jones at one, Mina We

118
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: love Mina. Jenny Brentes is awesome. At three, Dominique Foxworth.

119
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Don't know Dominique. He does Beaumani show. He's he's an

120
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: un he does deant Le familiar with Billy Gil but

121
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: we respect him well. I'm not familiar though that we

122
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: don't have to, but I'm sure he's great. I do

123
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: if he's on this list McAfee at eights or ahead

124
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: of McAfee. It's not bad. David Sampson and a keep

125
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: to leave look at it keep coming in. Um, you

126
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: know you know what those So we're ahead of Romo

127
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: because if a keep to leave can make it, and

128
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: he kind of compared to Leave to Romo UM on

129
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: the list. He compared to him as like energetic and

130
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: in a little different um, you know, as a listen

131
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: but even better than Romo he thought right now, like

132
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: in terms of energy. So so that means Romo didn't

133
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: make the list, nor did any other We're ahead of

134
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Jim Nance And also missing the list was the Dan

135
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: Lebotard Show featuring Stu Gotts, and apparently this didn't sit

136
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: well with everyone on that particular program. I mean, how

137
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: about that guy? Who is that guy? He's a top

138
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: ten football insider. Why am I taking the bullet in

139
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: that scenario. I I don't think that they were upset.

140
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: I think I think the Billy Gil guy is involved

141
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: in the LeBatard arena. Okay, so they were saying the

142
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: list because he's involved with those guys, or he works

143
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: for a lavatory. I don't have a great point there

144
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: right now, Yeah. My point was they weren't upset at us.

145
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: They were making fun of this guy saying the list

146
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: was bad, Like, don't be so don't be so excited

147
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: that you're on this list, Billy? Is that how you

148
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: took it? Mark? I could. I'm just taking the insults again.

149
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: My name in it. I mean, how about that guy?

150
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Who is that guy? He's a top ten football insider.

151
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: Well you got that right, I have a story. Well

152
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: he got to start it. And then Labatary jumped in you.

153
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: When we were at Super Bowl Week in Miami before

154
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: Corona exploded, I was wandering around, you know, South Beach,

155
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: and Dan LeBatard actually was about ten feet away. Um,

156
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: I don't know why. He was sort of wandering around

157
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: two and these LeBatard fans um wanted to take a

158
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: photo with him Lebertarians. Yeah, so the Lebertardians actually just

159
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: pulled me a you know, like a civilian off. I

160
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,479
Speaker 1: had to take a photo of LeBatard and the Lebertarians.

161
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: It's like, I work in this industry too, and little

162
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: little I know that, Well it doesn't it does not.

163
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: Are we in a feud? No? I don't want to

164
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: know what I've heard. Good with the future. I've heard

165
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: from listeners. I think there's a pretty good crossover audience.

166
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: I've heard. I've heard good things about their their audience

167
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: and they've built it up and I think I think

168
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: there's some that that are fans of us both, and

169
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah, let's take the high road on this one.

170
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: If you wanted to make a statement like who you

171
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: are Mark Anthony Sessler CESSI for short? Actually that Mark

172
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: Edward Cessler. I work for NFL Network and NFL dot

173
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: Com and I only wish to extend um good tidings

174
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: to that show into all of them. Why is it

175
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: always Marked that takes the st It is pretty funny though,

176
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: but I guess I mean, how about that guy? Who

177
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: is that guy? He's a top ten football insiders. It's

178
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: like we wrote this for him to be a sound

179
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: drop for us. But it's just their show, all right.

180
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: Coming up on today's show, which was put together with

181
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Tender Love and Care, Fearless predictions not for the whole season,

182
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: but for October four, specifically, what is October four? That

183
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: is the Tuesday after Week four, we will tell you

184
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: what we feel the NFL landscape will look like after

185
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: what used to be the traditional quarter pole. Well they

186
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: blew that up, ruined it with their greed. No asymmetry,

187
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: everything must be asymmetrical. Sixteen games. Now, I don't know

188
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: what it is anymore. Maybe after Thursday night at week five,

189
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: is that the new quarter pole? If you did the

190
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: math of it, it's not my thing. Anyway, We're gonna

191
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: give you some fearless predictions. Um. I'm gonna call on

192
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: the listeners to help us out with something at the

193
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: end of the show. Um, but before that, we need

194
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: to get caught up with the news you're full of

195
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: Just what is that? Where did that come from? Dan

196
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: randomly said that as we were setting up to tape

197
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: our t A hits on what was that Wednesday? I

198
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: don't know where it came from or why, but why

199
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: did I roll out a bit? It kind of snowballed

200
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: a little bit, but no more critical thinking towards Mark again,

201
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: Greg thinks it wasn't even critical. It was. I was

202
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: just sort of pointing that out the context it was

203
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: absolutely critical, Um, very critical. My context was that they

204
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: weren't like mad, they weren't on list. They were on

205
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: the list, like one of their guys was on the list,

206
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: and they were kind of making fun of him that like,

207
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: look at this list, it's just you and a bunch

208
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: of him and eggers here. Well, well, nice explanation. Um. Anyway,

209
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: that was what I said, was clearly ingest just a

210
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: lot of the nonsense that I'll spew before the show starts.

211
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: And you know that I understand your vibe different than

212
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: the studs. Different than that. I mean, as I've been noticing,

213
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: and this is a becoming a recurrent thing, your guys

214
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: vibe is is on a different wavelength right now. I

215
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: think you missed each other. It's like it's up and down,

216
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: but it's definitely like that's that's what great attractions are. Like,

217
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: you know what I think. I think Craig wants it.

218
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: He wants in you want I want to feel something, Yeah,

219
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: you want it on the it Yeah, all right, we'll

220
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: talk privately after the show. Let's get to the news

221
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: and we'll start with oh man, the Arizona Cardinals. They

222
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: make a decision after rap sheet with the scoopage and

223
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: rap shoot was on our show this week breaking down

224
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: how it all came to be. Uh, the independent study

225
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: clause um that was placed in Murray's huge extension and

226
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: all the Hulla Blue down that. Well, the team now

227
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: is decided to eliminate that mandatory independent study clause in

228
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: Murray's extension rap sheet first report, it's a rap. She's

229
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: been all over this. I also have a statement here

230
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: from the Cardinals, and then I want we're gonna hear

231
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: from Kyler, but uh, first from the Cardinals. After seeing

232
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: the distraction it created, we removed the addendum from the contract.

233
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: It was clearly perceived in ways that were never intended.

234
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: Our confidence in Kyler Murray is as high as it's

235
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: ever been, and nothing demonstrates our belief in his ability

236
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: to leave this team more than the commitment reflected in

237
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: this contract. That's a lot of words, salads, Sizzler. Uh,

238
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: so they take it out of the contract, Kyler Murray.

239
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: Cut to smash. Cut to Kyler Murray who calls his

240
00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: own press conference on unscheduled Thursday, unscheduled and he wants

241
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: everyone to know everything's cool, and you should have given

242
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: me the benefit the benefit of the doubt in the

243
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: first place. Today I'm starting off. I'm talking today because um,

244
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, I feel, um it's necessary, you know, um,

245
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: with what's going on as far as regarding me and

246
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: the things that are being said about me. Um, it's

247
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: it's almost, you know, to think that I can accomplish

248
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: everything that I've accomplished in my career, UM and not

249
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: be a student of the game and not um, not

250
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: not have that passion and not not take this serious

251
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: is almost it's disrespectful. And it's it's almost it's it's

252
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: almost a joke. And I like this other part of

253
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: the press conference or his statement really an opening statement

254
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: where he felt compelled and understandably so, to explain what

255
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: he's accomplished in his life as an athlete to this point.

256
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: And and I don't do this often. I don't talk

257
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: about myself, but today I feel like I have to.

258
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: And so I'm ann list of accolades, you know, to

259
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: go forty three and oh in high school, sorry much.

260
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: Some are gonna say, oh, it's high school, that's cool,

261
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: But nobody else has done it. Um go to college

262
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: when the heisman, UM, get drafted number one over all

263
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: to the NFL, get drafted number nine overall to MLB. Again,

264
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: no one's ever done it. Um, Offensive Rookie of the Year,

265
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: two time pro bowler, Um. And you know, I'm not

266
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm not six seven to thirty. I don't throw the

267
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: ball any five yards. Um, I'm I'm already behind the

268
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: eight ball. Uh. And I can't you know, I can't

269
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: afford to take any shortcuts, no pun intended. But you

270
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: know that those are those those things you can't accomplish

271
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: if you don't take the game serious, if you don't

272
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: prepare the right way. And you know, it's like I said,

273
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: it's it's laughable. I was struck by this. I loved it.

274
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: I think Kyler Murray is a different sort of quarterback

275
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: and a different sort of person, and we're like learning

276
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: more about him as he goes, and I I love

277
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: the fire, and I think it's a it's worth pointing out,

278
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: like He's right, you can't be that successful without some

279
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: sort of intelligence that you see in his game and

280
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: serious uh nature with which you take the game and

281
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: take your career then again, and and a lot of

282
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: confidence which he clearly has to uh. I think he

283
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: got this far in part because he picked up the

284
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: NFL game and being able to read defenses and stuff

285
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: like that pretty well for a rookie. Now that that

286
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: all being said, he didn't really address the exact uh

287
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: parts of the clause that he had a problem with.

288
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's sort of brought you know. I sort

289
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: of took it as like he doesn't necessarily spend that

290
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: much time on the iPad doing next as and ohs,

291
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: like film study at home. He started talking about, like

292
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: there's different ways to do film study. I like doing

293
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: it with other people in the room, Like that's where

294
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,359
Speaker 1: I get off of it, and I take my preparation

295
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: really seriously. There's different ways to prepare. There's there's no

296
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: way that he's not taking preparing for the endfl seriously.

297
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: But he also sort of didn't answer the specific uh

298
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: reasons that it was in the contract in the first place.

299
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: And then, to be fair, he called the press conference himself,

300
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: and the second anyone started asking questions about the clause

301
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: in the contract, he said, I'm not answering questions about that.

302
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: Can we talk about something else? You called the press conference,

303
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: Like that's what the press conference is about. So I

304
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: think he's very sensitive about that, and you can understand that,

305
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 1: and I appreciate him being as open as he was,

306
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: But I I think it's like you can look at

307
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: this from a lot of sites. No one's right and

308
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: wrong in it, and had he and not eagle eyed

309
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: this contract and let's say none of us knew about this.

310
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: The bottom line is Kyler Murray and his representation agreed

311
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: to what was in the contract. It's turned into um

312
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's grown so incredibly annoying, almost to a

313
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: delightful extent at this point. But the Cardinals this offseason

314
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray have operated like a circus. I mean,

315
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: it feels like a team that can't is in search

316
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: of themselves on some level. And this whole Cala Maury

317
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: is symbolic situation is symbolic of that. For me, though,

318
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: Like I love what he said yesterday and I agree

319
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: with you, Greggy changes for the most part. Yeah, it

320
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: changes how I feel about him, and I do think

321
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: it you know, maybe it lit a fire under him

322
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe it will change something for him this season.

323
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: But I have to say that, like he initially agreed

324
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: to this, something about what the Cardinals saw in his

325
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: preparation in his game. He acknowledged, yes, I will sign this,

326
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: and that's part of the contract. He had an issue

327
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: with it. He should have brought it up before. Maybe

328
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, you know, maybe it's not a clown car

329
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: over there. Maybe they galaxy brain this thing. I don't

330
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: think they've lit this huge inferno underneath their wildly talented quarterback. Um,

331
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much kidding, but it maybe does achieve that

332
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: effect because now he's gonna have a huge chip on

333
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: his shoulder, um after being called out in this way.

334
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: And that's what he was. He was called out by

335
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: his own team that gave him a hundreds of millions

336
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: of dollars, but said, you're gonna do it the right way.

337
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: So yes, I think why I remove it? Then? I

338
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: don't know that's why that's why the clown music is played, Greg,

339
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: because I don't know it's that's a half measure. It's

340
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: like you should either should put it in and kept

341
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: it or not put it at all. But when you do,

342
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: you just make it a fresh story. Again, we're not

343
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: talking about this with such vigor on a Friday after

344
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: this happened initially on Monday or whatever, if not for this.

345
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: So they've they've kind of botched us. And I'll give

346
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: Murray credit. He was smart enough to get in front

347
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: of the story and I thought he comported himself well

348
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: with the opening statement at least. Um, it's probably the

349
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: first kind of good smart thing he did this offseason.

350
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: He didn't have the best office offseason either with some

351
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: of the things he did through his agent. UM. But

352
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: hopefully the team can move past this and start focusing

353
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: on football now. It's a big part of the story

354
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: the agent because his introductory press conference when he signed

355
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: the contract, he threw some shade at his own agent.

356
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was totally intention to block himself. UM.

357
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: His name is Eric Burkhard, and he said that, Look,

358
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: Kyler said, look, I took a lot of grief soft season, um,

359
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: in part because of my agent, because of that statement,

360
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: and he just said that. That was before all of

361
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: this happened. By the way, Kyler did that press conference

362
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: knowing that they were going to take the clause out

363
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: of his contract, but we didn't know that at the

364
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: time he did that press conference. There is some speculation

365
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: this was from Pro Football talk, that he might be

366
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: getting rid of his agent and that and like, and

367
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: that's part of all of this, that they're taking it out,

368
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: that it's maybe helping the agent to save face. Who

369
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: who knows, But it was a messy week I think

370
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: for the two people that agreed on it, which was

371
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: ultimately Cardinals ownership in the agent, I think are the

372
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: ones that were kind of at faultier. All Right, we're

373
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: just getting started. Let's take a quick break and then

374
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: spend through the rest of the news. Alright, moving on,

375
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: another wide receiver gets paid. It is dk metcalf, member

376
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: of the Superstar Club, big time playmaker for the Seahawks.

377
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: Will be very interesting to see what kind of year

378
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: he has with Russell Wilson now throwing spirals in the

379
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: Rocky Mountains. But the Seahawks want him as part of

380
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: their future, so they give him a three year, seventy

381
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: two million dollar extension that runs through two thousand. Nearly

382
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: sixty million of that is guaranteed. So this is a

383
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: big time contract for a big time player. Mark Sesler

384
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: had to do this. I mean there were were months

385
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: removed from the idea that he could have been traded

386
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: away out of Seattle. Um. The only thing that I

387
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, the money is great. He's totally deserving. He's

388
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: a he's a rare, unique type of talent who fits

389
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: Seattle really well. My one problem is with their quarterback situation.

390
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't his fault. I think you're wasting

391
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: one of those years with their quarterback situation this season.

392
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: Well they're trying, yeah, but they're I agree, but they're

393
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: also trying to win this year. Whether that works or

394
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: not to them. I think it's pretty meaningful to win

395
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: nine games versus five. Let's say, and you DK Metcalf

396
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: needs to be a part of this team either way.

397
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: He gets to be a free agent when he's twenty

398
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: seven again, so it works out great. It's just I

399
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: find it interesting with these wide receiver contracts. I think

400
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: people are gonna look at a little differently because man,

401
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: the market changed, and and I think it makes sense.

402
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: But these contracts that A. J. Brown got, Deebo Samuel

403
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: is probably gonna get an almost identical contract. He has

404
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: the same agent as DK Metcalf and Terry McLaurin, and J.

405
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: Brown has that same agent too, so that agent is

406
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: doing quite well. All these all these contracts are basically

407
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: quarterback tracks. I mean, they're making like what Ryan Tannehill

408
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: makes for the Titans. They're getting thirty million dollars signed,

409
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: but their quarterback country. And I think that's fine, But

410
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: it also gets to this other like nagging point that's

411
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: bothered me for many years, which is the whole like, well,

412
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: you gotta win on the rookie quarterback contract, you gotta

413
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: win on the you know. It's like what an advantage

414
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: you gotta do this. Well, it's like no, Now, these

415
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: other contracts are also quarterback contracts, and that was sort

416
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: of the case anyways, What what is this huge difference

417
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: between having twenty five or thirty on the books for

418
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: a receiver and having thirty five or forty on the

419
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: books for a quarterback. Going back as far as we can,

420
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: those courts about contracts were still only taking up of

421
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: your cap and that that's a lot, but you're also

422
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: wasting tons of money on tons of terrible signings on

423
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the contract. And I think the receiver

424
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: contracts and these other veterans getting this sort of money

425
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: points that out. I think you can absolutely win with

426
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: big time contracts on whether it's quarterbacks or sure. I

427
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: think gets twisted so to turn into a hot take

428
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: that all those people are wrong. But it is harder

429
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: when you have the quarterback giant salary on the books.

430
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: It's it's harder, you know, But you don't know if

431
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: that can quantify that. I'm not a math major, but

432
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: I will also say, and you cannot, you can't sleep

433
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: on what a huge advantage it is to have the

434
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback who's a stud on his rookie contract. But

435
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: my point is, like you can think of the advantage

436
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: now to have DK metcalf on his rookie contract versus

437
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: this contract. Or when you're a defensive end, think of

438
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: the advantage of having Aaron Donald when he was on

439
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: his rookie contract compared to his veteran contract. And all

440
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: these are just percentages. Like now it's going from just

441
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: a couple of percent of absolutely but all all it

442
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: is is like of a two hundred and thirty million

443
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: dollar cap, and there's money being spent well and money

444
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: spent poorly all throughout the rest, and it's only a

445
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: small percent. You do go. You do get teams though,

446
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at like, for instance, with the Browns

447
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: did with the Shawn Watson that two years from now

448
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: he counts fifty five million against the cap, Myles Garrett

449
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: counts another thirty two. That's they'll they'll change that, they'll change.

450
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: That's not and they got you. If you add a

451
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: couple of their other players too. I mean, you've got

452
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: a significant portion of your cap tied up in three

453
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: or four. My overarching point is it's harder to find

454
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: great players than it is to work around the great

455
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: players contract that it's worth the they're worth the contracts

456
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: because you can figure out the rest of the roster

457
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: if you're smart. I just like that. You you you know, Greg,

458
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: you did your debate club and high school, and I

459
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: just model congress how you like slipped in a data

460
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: point there. It's five percent harder. I just do that.

461
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, like, if you take Greg on his worst,

462
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: it's like he won the argument. It's only five percent.

463
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: All I mean is like, what what is d K

464
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: mccalf even even now? What is he taking up of

465
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: the cap? It's like it's twelve the quarterbacks are taking

466
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: up fifteen seventeen percent. It's still like st I just

467
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: think the last year's Super Bowl is a case in

468
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: point for everything you're talking about. The Rams pay up

469
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: so many huge contracts go win the Super Bowl. On

470
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: the other side of the field is the Bengals, who

471
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: have all this young talent on rookie contracts. There's multiple ways.

472
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: There's a million ways to do it. But but the

473
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: hardest part, I think is finding the great players. That's

474
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: the part. There's more than one way to skin a cat. Absolutely.

475
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: I would also point the last Seahawks Super Bowl championship

476
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 1: and their back to backs are Bowl run. It's when

477
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: they have the rookie quarterback and they could spend out

478
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: the wazoo for everyone else. It's an advantage. It's a

479
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: huge advantage. It's not that huge my five percent, You're right,

480
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: you won. I forgot speaking. There was good news about

481
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Here's bad news about the Seahawks. Jamal Adams

482
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: is seeking a second opinion on a hand injury. He

483
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have a timetable on his return to our friend

484
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: Michael Shawn Dugard's m s D MSD for the initials. Anyway,

485
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: surgery is possibly in play here, according to Pete Carroll,

486
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: not obviously very uh scary situation for the Seahawks. Really,

487
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: we all know the story about Adams and how much

488
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: the Seahawks gave up to get him from the Jets,

489
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: hoping he was going to put them over the top.

490
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: He struggled to say healthy, mark playing and simple. This

491
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: has not worked out at all for them. I mean,

492
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams does a lot for your defense. But this

493
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: is a team that waved goodbye to Bobby Wagner. You've

494
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: got Quandre Digs, Jamal Adams if he's not healthy, not

495
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: able to get on the field soon. I just look

496
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: at this deal and say, this was viewed by John

497
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: Schneider Pete Carroll as the final move to put Seattle

498
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: over the top and make them a Super Bowl contender

499
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: again in the NFC, and it has gone completely backwards.

500
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: It's discouraging. I mean, speaking of spending cap resources poorly,

501
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: this is sort of what I'm talking about that, Like,

502
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: the advantage is having a great quarterback, whether it's on

503
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: a rookie deal or or even if you have to

504
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: pay his worth. Like having the great quarterback is the

505
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: value wasting resources in terms of a draft, and then

506
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: contractual resources and Jamal Adams is how you get in

507
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: a really tough scot if you make a couple of

508
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: series out on that yes hear me out on this thing.

509
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: Back to your point, once Russell got the huge contract,

510
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: your your line, your margin of error gets almost raised

511
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: thin with how you construct the rest of your roster,

512
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: especially the big contracts. So Jamal Adams is a good

513
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: example of the dangers of building a roster when you

514
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: already have a huge quarterback contract on the book. Absolutely,

515
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: I guess my thing is with with these rosters, it's

516
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: just there's so many, Like there's ten big contracts now,

517
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: like the cap has really gone up. Seattle is not

518
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: a great example of one that has years with huge

519
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: UH numbers on the books. But you look at a

520
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: team like the Chiefs to the rams man, they find

521
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: a way to put five, six, seven of these huge

522
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: contracts on the same cap and still have a great team.

523
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: Speaking of bad injury news early in camp, the Buccaneers

524
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: might not have their star center Ryan Jensen this season

525
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: at all. NFL Network insider Ian rapp Report reported Friday

526
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: Purse sources that the team is waiting final word as

527
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: of right now, but the fear is that Jensen has

528
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: suffered a season ending near and knee injury suffered in

529
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday, got carted off. It looked bad at

530
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: the time. You we've mark we've done this long enough.

531
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: When this type of ramp up usually tells you swelling

532
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: goes down. You get the m R I and it's

533
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: a tear in there, and that's the season bad news

534
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: for the Bucks who are already you know, a lot

535
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: of transition on their line. Um, so this is made

536
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: in the pivot, mark in the pivot. Yeah, you've got

537
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: a you've got a new left guard, Shack Mason is

538
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 1: a very good new right guard, and it looks like

539
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: someone like Robert Hainze might step in place. Center. You

540
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: could go out and get someone like J. C. Treader

541
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: who was with the Browns previously. That's that's the one

542
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: that they've mentioned. Um, this was the fourteen best center

543
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: in the league last year according to PF and Tom

544
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: Brady has you know, at his age, it's been so

545
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: well protected behind that line. I remember, I mean we

546
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: all do. At the end of last season, heading into

547
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs, when they started to have injury issues along

548
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: that line, Tom Brady was not the same. And that's

549
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: this is a major concern. This is like the leader

550
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: of their line as well. Um, we're gonna have more

551
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: in this later, uh in the show. So hold further

552
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. Let's move on. Hold in talk. Greg,

553
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: you took credit for holding I like that that was

554
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: a bold move on Wednesday show. So here are some more.

555
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: Chargers coach Brandon Staley said that Derwin James, their star safety,

556
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: will sit out practice until his contract is resolved. The

557
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: same can be said for Steelers wide receiver Deonte Johnson,

558
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: who also is sitting out team drills. And Deante Johnson

559
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: might want to get back to practice because I feel

560
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: like the Steelers greg don't tend to give out a

561
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: second contract to wide receivers for the most part. But hey, listen,

562
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: it's a strategy now. And it's also like one of

563
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: these I like Deanti Johnson a lot, but compared to

564
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel and Derwin James in in d K for

565
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: a few days, that's sort of the level of player

566
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: that has been able to pull off these holdings. And

567
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like Deante Johnson is going to get

568
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: a contract out of this. So he's just gonna skip

569
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: a few weeks of practice most likely, and then just

570
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: come back to practice. And and that's fine. I kind

571
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: of like, I think it's telling and I like that

572
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: these teams are handling this in a way where it's

573
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: not It doesn't seem like there's hard feelings here between

574
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: the series, Like Derwin James is absolutely getting done with

575
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: with Deonte. You know, like Marktboli of The Athletic who's

576
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: covered the Steelers forever, basically said the team does not

577
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: have any interest in paying him Terry McLaurin type money

578
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: or anything like that. So I'm with you. I think

579
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: it's just like a take a couple of weeks off

580
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: and go probably get your money on the market next

581
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: off season, or does get Franz size tagged. It's a

582
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: pittance for these players. He hasn't gotten a huge deal

583
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: yet Johnson, but he if he doesn't get a new deal,

584
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: is he gonna have to pay all the fines from us?

585
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: And it comes with a literal cost. Now, if I

586
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: had put in the kind of prep that Old New

587
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: Old Blue Eyes here did, I could have done a

588
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: search on Pro Football Reference. I would recommend stat Head

589
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: if you're into its liken a month, but you can.

590
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: You can do all sorts of great stats searches on

591
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: Pro Football Reference and what I would search and maybe

592
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: I'll do it here during the show. Uh, it's a

593
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: little complicated, Like who has more targets than Deonte Johnson

594
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: over the last two years combined a hundred and forty

595
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty one. My guests would be he

596
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: is in the top five in all receivers. Now the production, yeah, well,

597
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: he'd have to be signed in it. It's a little complicated.

598
00:31:52,720 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: You gotta put the put on its narrative. Combined, he's

599
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: gotten twenty one yards. He is a productive receiver. He's

600
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: very good. He's not quite at the McLaurin or Debot

601
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: type of difference maker level, but I love him. I

602
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: mean he also at worst he's a great number two.

603
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: And we've had a tough quarterback situation last couple of

604
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: years too. Chase Claypool is a guy I'm interested to

605
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: see what his season looks like. Alright. Recovery news. David Baktari,

606
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: the great left tackle for the Packers, whose career has

607
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: been thrown into limbo because of a knee injury. Can't

608
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: seem to get right from basically missed all of last year.

609
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: We learned now that he had another surgery on the

610
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: same knee recently. He's out indefinitely. Also, the Washington Commanders

611
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: Chase Young coming off that a c L tear. He

612
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: looks like he will miss the beginning of the regular season.

613
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: We don't know how much. Same can be said for

614
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup standout widersty with the Cowboys likely to miss

615
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: regular season time, all all vitally important players to their

616
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: respective teams. Greggy, Yeah, it's just the time of year

617
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: and it's hard to know like which injuries to bring

618
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: up on the show because we're getting new injury for

619
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: me every every day. But yeah, these are the three

620
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: where it's like, Okay, if there was hope that that

621
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: young and Gallup could be back sooner than expected and

622
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: back for a week one, that's not happening. And when

623
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: they give out the the idea this early in the process,

624
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: it's usually a bad sign. And that best you're gonna

625
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: miss a few weeks and that that's really significant. And

626
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: then bak tr between him and Elton Jenkins, who's their

627
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: second best offensive lineman who's coming off a torn a

628
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: c L and potentially those are their two tackles this year.

629
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: Jenkins has played all sorts of different positions, but that

630
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: that's like a pretty big X factor here with the

631
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Packers going into the season, there too tackles who are

632
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: the next two best players on the offense. I would

633
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: argue to Aaron Rodgers along with Aaron Jones here, It's

634
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 1: like that that's pretty massive for them heading into the season.

635
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: It's like, we don't hear that much details about surgery sometimes,

636
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: but bak tr Essentially it isn't really even the core

637
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: A c L injury at this point. It's that the

638
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: first surgery never sat well with him, had to get

639
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: a second one with young sirs. I read surgeons grafted

640
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: part of his healthy left Patel attendant to help repair

641
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: the injured nee. So it's like you're going and taking

642
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: part of the tendon and bone or whatever and put

643
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: it onto the other one. I mean, that does not

644
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: sound doesn't sound great. I do have an update on

645
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: the target situation. Is it worth heading back? You know,

646
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: that's like a podcasting question. It's too late now I

647
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: have gone back. You're back. But just like sometimes it's

648
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: not worth stopping the flow of the show to go back. Now,

649
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: let's see if we can figure it out. I'm going

650
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: to say I feel very confident that Davante Adams is

651
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: on this list. He's number two. Yeah, give me, give

652
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: me who else would be who is constantly targeted in

653
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: their offense? McLaurin, No, he's tenth. Let's see Mary Cooper no,

654
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: he was injured. Listre I believe. All right, let's hear

655
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: the list. Stefan Diggs number one, DeVante to Cooper cup

656
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: three um and then Deonte Johnson is number four in

657
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. Keenan Allen Tyreek killed justin. Jefferson our next

658
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: on the list, but Deont John's in the fourth most dark.

659
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: Very interesting. All right. We don't have Colleen here for

660
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: to sing her odds and ends jingle, but we do

661
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: have Mark Sessler. So Mark Sessler pinch hitting hit it.

662
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: How does it go? Odds in it? The music? He

663
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: was ready then, I like he didn't know that it's

664
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: and ends and ends. I really sucked at this. That

665
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: was pretty good. I was lost confidence midway through. It

666
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: was already ready in my I don't know. I think

667
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: you might have better. You might have to replace Colleen.

668
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: Take here we go this time I started to be

669
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: doing something. I don't think you could do what Connie does.

670
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to try it. Go ahead vocals, yeah,

671
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: yeahs and ends, odds and odds and the first one,

672
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: well it's getting worse. Yeah, it's a little bit of

673
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: she can sing your girl. You started. It's like us

674
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: here I'll just do the Colleen thing and then you

675
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: can maybe do it here. It is, this is what

676
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: Colin does. More like odds and ends, odds and everybody

677
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: get rid of for some odds and and all right,

678
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: you get the time. I think she says, tell your friends,

679
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: your friends. Maybe Greg should do it? All right, do it? Greg? Well,

680
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: I just got you served odds and ends. Odds and ends?

681
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: You want to tell your friend with odds and ends

682
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: coming up? Now? It's all right, let's at eight o'clock

683
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: to light. It's like, how does she end it? Danny? Well,

684
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: we need Colleen here. That's what we learned. Danny ammon

685
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: Dola has retired. Ricky Hollywood favorite Bill Belichick even spoke

686
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: highly of him in the press garments. I love Danny,

687
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: good player, long career. Do you remember the video of

688
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: Danny Ammondola's dad who was a coach, where that runaway

689
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: cart was um veering over the turf and he got

690
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: knocked over and taken out. He was finding the end,

691
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: but it was one of the more bizarre football videos

692
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Carlos done up is headed to the Chiefs.

693
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead is out a few weeks. Kwon Alexander going

694
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: to the Jets. Speaking of the Jets, Mackay Beckton and

695
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: Karl Lawson off the publist. Good signs, Greg, I think

696
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: it's been a very positive feeling Jets pup season and

697
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: Kwan Alexander played pretty well for the Saints last year.

698
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: I think that's a nice a nice signing. They all right,

699
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: justin Ross out for the season. Raiders starter Denzel Good retires.

700
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: How about that? That's rough for the Raiders because their lyne,

701
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: I think is their achilles heel. Right now, They've got

702
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: a lot of shifting new faces and that's that was

703
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: someone they were relying on, all right. And finally awards

704
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: Slash Conklin on pup, does Denzel Award Denzel Ward foot injury,

705
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: Tyler Conklin, Jack mcconklin, former Titan right tackle. Brown's got

706
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: some questions, I feel like, not not that so much,

707
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: but on the offensive line and some questions. Playoff Danny,

708
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: by the way, playoff, Danny. I gotta you know, they

709
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: don't win that Super Bowl, uh in, which is probably

710
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: my favorite Patriots super Bowl when it comes down to

711
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: after the first you've finally gotten off that foogazy corner

712
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: when you said that horrible Rams Pats Super Bowl was

713
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: your favorite. Bother you, but he was. He was a

714
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: monster in that comeback against the Ravens in the Divisional

715
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: round and then had a big touchdown in a big

716
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: game in the super Bowl against the Seahawks too. All right,

717
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: we need to take one more break and then get

718
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: to the set. Let's do that. We'll be right back

719
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: with some Fearless predictions for October four. It could have

720
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 1: been different, mis to Walker, you should have allowed nature

721
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: to take its course in the end. It will anyway,

722
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: So let me get off. Oh. Yes, Mark Wahlberg from Fear.

723
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: Remember Fear. Oh I saw it in the theater. You

724
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: know what I thought was always so effective about that movie.

725
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: For the zoomers out there, that actually is Mark Wahlberg. Like,

726
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: clearly Mark Wallburg probably did that to one of his

727
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend's father's through a door somewhere in the suburbs

728
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: of Boston. Feels organic. Uh. And that is also the

729
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: same Mark Walberry that left the three Super Bowl early.

730
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: So just it all ties together. So it's all connected.

731
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: When you try to make your like public facing profile,

732
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: like as a sports fan, like that's part of the

733
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: agenda and then you have a moment like that. It's

734
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: like it all coming back. Yeah, anyway, fear fear. Fear

735
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: is a terrible thing. Fear is a part of human nature. Um,

736
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: we s chew that we fear nothing. We fear we

737
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: go where others fear to tread. We are fearless. We

738
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: are making fearless predictions for October fourth, two thousand twenty two,

739
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: that is the Tuesday after the conclusion of week for

740
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: the NFL season. Does it all? Does it all make sense?

741
00:39:54,640 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: So specific? Does fo? Yeah? Shoo? So I just looked

742
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: it up. I think you're both both that it does.

743
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: Haven't heard the sea parts hard. I've always said a shoe.

744
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: I feel like the word has kind of lost its footing.

745
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: People remove to bring it back. Time to bring it

746
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: back a shoe or get rid of it entirely, just

747
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: removed from that's the right way to say it. What

748
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: was the one you did? What were the boats in

749
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: the you butchered the boats in Italy? What was that?

750
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't recall I was in Italy when I did this. No,

751
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: we were at Vegas. Gondola's gondola. You called it a gondola,

752
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: right right? You gotta take the L on that one,

753
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: I'll take the L and s chew. If two Gondola,

754
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: I'll do further research on that. What about Quebec, Well, no,

755
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: it was not, though it was not depending on where

756
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: you get riveting stuff. Here, we'll cut all this out

757
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: of the show. Let's get into Fearless Predictions Fortober four.

758
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 1: Get us going, Okay, UM, I'm gonna make a prediction

759
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: UM in the form of an actual piece of writing

760
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: that's gonna go up on the NFL dot com that week.

761
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be written actually by Mark Sessler. So I'm

762
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: predicting what you're gonna write as the new um Helmer,

763
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: the new captain of QB Index. I hope you don't

764
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: mind that. I guess it's not aware that I. Um,

765
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: I thought it was a different column or something. No,

766
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be your your QB index column, which Mark

767
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: has taken over. West wrote it at one point I

768
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: I had started back in the mix. I did it last.

769
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: So it's great. It's a family, the family operation. But

770
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: here it is QB Index. After week four, UM, Mark's

771
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: writing Lamar Jackson number two. This is his his profile. Wow,

772
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: Lamar is up at number two. Through season and subsequent

773
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: offseason of endless storm clouds, waves of chaos and l fortune.

774
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson never blinked. The renewed emphasis on Lamar's legs

775
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 1: and the Ravens running game is overshadowed how big plays

776
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: with his arm left the Patriots, Bills and Bengals looking

777
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: like soaking school children who lost their umbrellas. The volters

778
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: circling around Lamar now resemble bright yellow chickadees with the

779
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: only foul carcass in the a f C North lying

780
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: a nert to the north in Cleveland. I will use that.

781
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: You absolutely should like that would be a little inside

782
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: joke just between us and uh. We need the Browns,

783
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: the stink, We need that Lamar to come through strong.

784
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: I guess you could move the ranking around if you did.

785
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: Did see were full on? You know, Lamar, for a

786
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: guy that's already an m v P, does have a

787
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: lot of people in the football cognance sent They who

788
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: are deep in his corner and will go out of

789
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: their way to pump them up. Greg's one of them,

790
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 1: for example. UM like I saw a report, the latest

791
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: report Lamar Jackson throwing incredible spirals this summer it's like, well,

792
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: do you want to be pay I think in the

793
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: past there. You're right though, that there's been some off

794
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: season hype for the Lamar lovers out there that like that,

795
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 1: like he's really been focused on his passing he wasn't happy,

796
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: and that he's added fifteen pounds of muscle and it

797
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: might all be nonsense, but if you're so inclined to

798
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: believe in Lamar, and they really did kind of focus

799
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: their off season on I think rebuilding that running game,

800
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: that that was more of the idea that that's gonna

801
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: be the bedrock. I I do think they've got a

802
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: tough schedule early, but it wouldn't surprise me here. Lamar,

803
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't love the group is problematic. But if he

804
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: if he's beating the Patriots, Bills, and Bengals, um all right.

805
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 1: So that's something I feel like you really want to happen,

806
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: but you actually feel it. Yeah, I think I think

807
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: Lamar and the I think Lamar is set up for

808
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: an excellent season and the Ravens are set up for

809
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: an excellent bounce back. And actually one of those lines

810
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: in the article I lifted exactly from a Mark Sessler

811
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: right up of the Ravens from last year. Well done,

812
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: well done, all right, let me um, it's the storm clouds,

813
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: waves of chaos and ill fortune. No one has written

814
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: waves of chaos on this site other than Mark. Like

815
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: if anybody else wrote it, you would be kind of

816
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: flagged as a plagiarist. I love you, buddy, I love you.

817
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: Also know that was love through um plagiarism. I don't think.

818
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't think stuts. If he were to meet me,

819
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: maybe he would feel differently. You know what, even just

820
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: putting my myself in the mind of Mark Cessler, I

821
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: think opened me up. Like that line I said, they

822
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: looked like soaking school children who lost their brother. That

823
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: was good. I should I should use lines like that.

824
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: Why if you walk away from QB index, there's you know,

825
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: two big um columns per week? Is is is a grind?

826
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: I got the picks um, I've done QUB. I was

827
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: really happy that you Pring did it last year just

828
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: to pick I'm just doing the picks um and just

829
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: timing of the working weeks. We've got a lot, we've

830
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: got more talking to do this season, um and so

831
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: two big column A little worried about power rankings this year,

832
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: bringing it back to us. See you're on one, that's

833
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: what's like four columns and one? What if I get

834
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: like three weeks and then I'm like, this is not

835
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: for me. A little like four four columns? Are you

836
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: okay with? That is a lot of work? Mark? Are

837
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: you worried about maybe that could affect Marks performs on

838
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: the show if QB index turns into a bear, that

839
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: would become not Mark's fault but yours. No. I think

840
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: Mark is like Lamar right now, He's in the best

841
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: shape of his life and he's going to be cranking

842
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: at least through week four. I worry more about it.

843
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: Wouldn't in theory, I'd be better on the show if

844
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm doing more and more work. Right, I'm gonna circle

845
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: back to Tampa Bay. As I hinted at earlier, my

846
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: fearless prediction is that the Bucks are going to be

847
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: let's say one in three um after four weeks, and

848
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: there will be panic in the streets, and a lot

849
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: of it does go back to what Mark said about

850
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: the uncertainty around that offensive line with Ryan Jensen most

851
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: likely out for the year. Then you look at the

852
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: schedule schedule makers. NFC South is typically a pretty decent

853
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: place to be, but it doesn't start out well for

854
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: the Bucks at all at Dallas to twelve and five

855
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: team in their building at New Orleans, Dang, they might

856
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: be the only NFL team that starts with two road

857
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: games and respect and as Marks want to say, the

858
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: Colts start at Houston at Jacksonvilleka, George Mark, you love

859
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: to talk about how the Saints always take it to

860
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. So at New Orleans in week two, that

861
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: building is gonna be on fire home versus Green Bay,

862
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: Week three, home versus Chiefs in week four for a team,

863
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,959
Speaker 1: for a team with a offensive line, very real issue.

864
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: It's that you could were edging into crisis territory. Now

865
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: Ali Marpett retired, you have Ryan Jensen, as they said,

866
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: out for the year. Most likely who else did they lose?

867
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: They lost Kappa, they lost the guard there. So there

868
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: the three new interior blockers needed time to gel and

869
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be a lot and other

870
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: fearless prediction here, Mark Wahlberg, through the people let me

871
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: in the f and house is a lot of people

872
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: are gonna take that and wrongly put it on Brady

873
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: and say Brady is getting old. Fine, not anymore. Listen,

874
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: you own up and you move on. People will think

875
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: it's Brady because Brady will be struggling statistically, and he's

876
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: gonna be getting hit a lot, and they're gonna say, well, well,

877
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 1: without a good offensive line, and he's another year older.

878
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the end. Spoiler alert, It is not

879
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: the end, but it will not. It will not begin well.

880
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: They had troubled a couple of years ago when they

881
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. They were a little slow out

882
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: of the gate. I mean, there are different reasons for that,

883
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: but I could totally see that does he rough month

884
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: of game that is fearless though, I'm definitely not on board.

885
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: To me, the Bucks despite losing Jensen and that that's

886
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: a pretty big one. J C. Treader would be a

887
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: nice pick. It takes time even to me, who's an

888
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 1: upgrade from Kappa. So that's one guards. But they did

889
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: draft a second round pick. You know, Brady makes these

890
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: guys look better. I kind of I'm buying into that.

891
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: Julio fits in here as like a nice piece. They

892
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: just have so many weapons on both sides of the ball.

893
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: The record after four weeks those that's a tough schedule.

894
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: I would probably if I had to pick through go

895
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 1: three and one to shape. If they're three and one

896
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: out of the gate here this year, to me, I

897
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,439
Speaker 1: would put them in the bills as like the two

898
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: best rosters and the two teams. I think that I

899
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: would have the hardest time scene struggling, Like at any point,

900
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: do you worry at all about Todd Bowles? Oh, thank

901
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: you for bringing it up, Todd Bowles, Like we all

902
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: talked too. We're happy you've got another chance too. It

903
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: was kind of behind the a ball with playing coaching

904
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 1: for the Jets, but it is that's a big change

905
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: for the team as well. And you just, um, you

906
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: wonder if there's just going to be an early season

907
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: adjustment period and the team will come out eventually starts law.

908
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: That's what I predict, fearless and Jensen. Jensen is the

909
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: guy they prioritize the most in this free agent class

910
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: where we didn't know who they'd be able to bring back.

911
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: You know, they got Godwin back, but it's like they

912
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: really put Jensen even ahead of Carlton Davis and some

913
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: of their other guys. That's how important he was to them.

914
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: Then you mentioned Chris Godwin not healthy early and not

915
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: healthy right now either. So he's been cleared for the

916
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: beginning of camp with that a c L. But it

917
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: might take some time. Lavante David that Harlett Liz Frank

918
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: also an issue stuff. So there you go, all right,

919
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: how about you? I feel like I nailed that one.

920
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: Greg's was right? What do you mean, Well, Gregg's was

921
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 1: based on me, So why would that not? Why would

922
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: it would be just a ruin more for style over

923
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: substance here, I'd I think it was a good Uh,

924
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: it was a good entry point to it and better

925
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: out of the first two. That's a tough call what

926
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: he can be. Honest, I won't get mad if you

927
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: feel don't do not answer this question, Gaber unless it's me.

928
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: You can't win this. See here's the thing. It's like,

929
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: you can hype up a fan base or you can

930
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: cast doom and gloom over a fan base. And I

931
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: do feel like Greg's decision to hype up the Ravens

932
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: might be better taken, better energy. Yeah, that doesn't mean anything,

933
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: but when it comes to accuracy, Oh that's what I'm

934
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: looking for. Probably who knows? Who knows? We should be

935
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: feelings though not pandering too fan bases. Would you wouldn't

936
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: you agree as a producer of the show. That's true.

937
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: That's a kind of our bread and butter. Right, what

938
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: was in the right up by the Guardian? What did

939
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: they say? What we do? We are ruthless, honesty, you

940
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 1: what we're about? So not just hey, I'm gonna make

941
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: you feel good. Stick to the integrity of the fearlessness

942
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: of the segment. All right, Mark, how about you? All right,

943
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 1: let's stay in the NFC South. Um. I thought a

944
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: lot about this because this came to me and I'm

945
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,760
Speaker 1: a little concerned. Um, this is not pandering to anyone.

946
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: This is this is this is um a different way

947
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 1: to do it. Baker Mayfield wins the job in Carolina.

948
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 1: Start right there. Things start swimmingly as Baker throws a

949
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: pair of gutsy fourth quarter touchdowns to slay the Browns

950
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: and the opener we all want to see that happen.

951
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: The offense stumbles from there, though, as the team drops

952
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: three straight against the Giants, Saints and carts. Baker's killer

953
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: interception against Arizona, which seals the team's tumble in overtime,

954
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: propels coach Matt Rule to announce that Sam Donald will

955
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: start the team's Week five tilts against San Francisco. Rules.

956
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: Master plan goes awry, however, when Donald is sent to

957
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: the hospital for observation after being overwhelmed by a gang

958
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: of children. This is this is all the rage in

959
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: America right now. Child gangs is huge in America right now.

960
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: They swarm the streets, they fill the malls, they spin

961
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: havoc at will Donald knows this is positive. No, Dwayne

962
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: Reid is safe. Know Donald's prognosis is positive. Those kids

963
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: just gave him a shiner and stole his clothing. But

964
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: the misadventure allows Baker to step in and register a

965
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 1: stunning upset of the Niners and keep the job. Donald

966
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 1: doesn't play another snap in two and struggles to live

967
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: down the reality that he was snowed under by a

968
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: flock of agitated pre pubescent boys and girls. Wow, so

969
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: this wasn't amazing. I mean, first of all, that's what

970
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 1: Cecy does. Know he's got the gang of children. Didn't

971
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: see that coming. And then you went to the end

972
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: of the season, so the fearless prediction is now well

973
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: passed week for Baker keeps the job all year. I

974
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: like it. I like that you said like like it

975
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: was nothing. The Panthers destroy the Browns in Week one,

976
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: like we all want to see what what world are

977
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: we living? Well? I think I think if you're like

978
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: the the Justice Angle of like Baker having revenge would

979
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: be a sweet storyline. Still not dubious, but I'm curious

980
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: what Mark Sessler's headspaces one. He's a top ten football insider. Well,

981
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: I know that where's not gonna be Week one of

982
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: the Browns are playing on Sunday. I don't feel much

983
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: towards them right now. I'm just gonna be more of

984
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: a agnostic as they say, Um, you know, Greg, before

985
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,760
Speaker 1: I swing it back to you, mine is also Panthers related,

986
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: So why don't we just knock them out together? So much? Panthers? Yeah,

987
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: you know what we're all about? The NFC South apparently tonight. Um,

988
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: there's always a team, always a team that gates gets

989
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: out of the gates quickly and then are quickly you know,

990
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: reality takes hold, like the Panthers. Last last year, it

991
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: was the Panthers. This year it's gonna be the Panthers.

992
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: Back to back year is here? How is Here's how

993
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: the Panthers season begins. I think Mark might have mentioned

994
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: some of the opponents, but I'll just go over it again.

995
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: Home against Cleveland at New York Giants, home against Saints,

996
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 1: home against Cardinals. Three home games. Yes, some tough games

997
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: in there, but also Saints and Cardinals in your building.

998
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: I like Jamis Winston on the road. I never have

999
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: fear about that. Who knows what we're getting with the

1000
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals destroyed him early last year. Yes, that's true. We

1001
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: also don't know what the Cardinals gonna look like. No,

1002
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins early. The Giants are the Giants, and until

1003
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: they show that they're not the Giants, they're still the Giants.

1004
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: And the Browns are middling team. We know even though

1005
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson still we don't have any answer on that,

1006
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: and there was report today we don't won't get one

1007
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: this week either, So at some point Deshaun Watson's situation

1008
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: will be made clear, but it's not there yet anyway,

1009
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: Long story short, I don't know who's gonna start, probably Baker.

1010
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: I think the fans and Caroline are all about Baker. Well,

1011
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: I've told you that that's that's the case, right Marx

1012
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: made his fearless prediction. Um, I know Donald badly outplayed

1013
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 1: Baker day one of camp. Then I believe it's gone

1014
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: the other way. They are splitting reps. It was Donald

1015
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: first team day one, it was Baker first first team

1016
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: day two, and they're splitting rep stay three. So so

1017
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: far Rule is very much playing this right down the middle.

1018
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 1: And I see, say, with a healthy Christian McCaffrey, now

1019
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: that Robby Anderson has dropped the y and is now

1020
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: R O B B I E. I think that's going

1021
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: to create some positive juice. And uh, I see them

1022
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: starting three and one and people getting pumped up. Well,

1023
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: I like the I E move for Robbie. He's right,

1024
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: it does look better. That was his explanation. It's just

1025
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: like it's just late in the game to do it.

1026
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like he's pivoting off of

1027
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: the Darius leonard Um to the dinner table on that right.

1028
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: I I think this the off season so long that

1029
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: you come around on some teams, and I'm not. I

1030
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: haven't come around in the Panthers mattering, but I do

1031
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,240
Speaker 1: think that they have a lot of professional football players

1032
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: and adding Baker to a much improved offensive line on paper.

1033
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't think Matt Rule has been a terrible like offense,

1034
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: Like everyone's like, how is this gonna fit with Ben McAdoo.

1035
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: It's like it's a Matt Rule offense, Matt Star. I

1036
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: don't think Matt Rule is going down in his career

1037
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: by handing over the keys to his entire offense to

1038
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: Ben McAdoo. It's a Matt Rule system which gets rid

1039
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: of the ball quickly. Baker's got to learn how to

1040
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: do that. But I think for the most part has

1041
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 1: done a good job like getting his getting the ball.

1042
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 1: The playmakers like, there are a lot of players here.

1043
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: The defense, while they're like statistical rankings were overinflated, also

1044
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: have a lot of professional players. Their secondary is kind

1045
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: of fun if J. C. Horne is healthy. I don't

1046
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: think this is a good team, but it's it's one

1047
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: of those teams that it's like, it's not that hard

1048
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: to win seven games in the NFL, and they feel

1049
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 1: very much like a team that can at least win

1050
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: seven games and and sometimes you win three out of

1051
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 1: the first four. Again, but the Falcons one seven year ago.

1052
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 1: I also say like the Panthers were stymied by the

1053
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: loss of Christianacaffrey again and the worst quarterback play in

1054
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: the league. And uh, to be clear, I do believe

1055
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: they help will have fast start, but I think just

1056
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: like last year, they'll fade. So I don't know what

1057
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: these predictions are. We don't know, right. I can only

1058
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: tell you that they'll be three and one and I

1059
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: won't be buying in on October four. They'll be like,

1060
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 1: nice start and you won't be caught off guard. I

1061
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: will not. And I will also say I'm kind of down. Um,

1062
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm kind of down with this quarterback battle because Greg,

1063
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, we don't have enough of them anymore.

1064
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: And I'm just looking at the Charlotte Observer. In the

1065
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: past hour, new Cole and Sam Donald led a two

1066
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: minute touchdown drive and made the throw training camp thus

1067
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: far wasn't enough to win the day against Baker and Mayfield.

1068
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: This is great. This is gonna go all through the

1069
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: next few weeks. He's like he's throwing ed. I love

1070
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: this stuff. I love the Geno lock battles. Supposedly Gino

1071
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: had that doesn't sound like a battle day no, but

1072
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: that Gino also supposedly had like the worst possible Day

1073
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: two or he was just like fumbling, like snaps over

1074
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: and over. Alright, how about another one? Alright, um my,

1075
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 1: this is another um preview of NFL dot com content.

1076
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: Uh on October five? Is it Tuesday Week four? Tuesday

1077
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: October four Power rankings coming in at number twenty the

1078
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: Houston Texas and here's the content. The old zuser doesn't

1079
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: know what to do with these three and one Texans.

1080
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: One point went over the Colts, and the opener was

1081
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: all about special teams, and it's tough for dan zeus

1082
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: to get excited when they dispatched the moribund Bears and

1083
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: three and Sunday's win was a classic case of Chargers

1084
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna charger. Still, the old New Blue Eyes has to

1085
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: admit a fondness for Davis Mills. It is becoming impossible

1086
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:40,919
Speaker 1: to ignore the eradicable greatness that Cayamie Fairband has given

1087
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: the world after another game winner, especially to Daddy Rich.

1088
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: Oh shoot, um, I like the style. I think you

1089
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: hit some points. I didn't even know one of the

1090
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: words that was that was both of years. I lifted

1091
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: an actual sentence, and the irradicable greatness of Coamie Fairbaron

1092
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: was actually an actual quote. When he hit a banger

1093
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: game winner. I've never I've never used any of my

1094
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: nicknames in written content, but otherwise I enjoyed it quite

1095
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: a bit. It would be funny if you did, but

1096
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: because you haven't it it would be funny if self

1097
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: contained in the student because that's only one team that

1098
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: you you would have used four or five nicknames if

1099
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: you did that for every team. So the Texans at

1100
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: three and one and that schedule, okay, but you're not

1101
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: buying in really because there's three and one. They barely

1102
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: beat the Colts. It's like you could see that happening. Uh.

1103
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: They got the Bears early, which is a winnable game.

1104
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: They did beat the Chargers last year, like there is

1105
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: a route here for them. I do think they're team.

1106
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: They're a little like the Panthers to me that I

1107
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: think they're going to be a lot more competitive than

1108
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: people than they were the last two years. Put it

1109
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: that way, all right, that would be a surprise. And

1110
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: like a lot of veterans, they're not a young team.

1111
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: They're one of the like older teams. They signed a

1112
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: lot of like Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison and I

1113
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: actually kind of believe in this coaching staff to get

1114
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: these guys to play like respectable football and to just

1115
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: be a respectable team and win some games. Smith around

1116
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: the NFL guest, you know he was. He was a

1117
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: wonderful He was a wonderful guest. Enjoy talking to him.

1118
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: He seemed to have a really good perspective about where

1119
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: he was in his career back in February. Maybe that's

1120
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: changed this then, Well that's what David Culley thought a

1121
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: year ago, which I hope. You know, they've got to

1122
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: have a little more consistency there. Uh, David Cully should

1123
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: have never lost his job. But that's neither here nor there.

1124
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm tapped out. Do you have another one? Mark? I

1125
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: have a couple of quick ones, Okay, I kind of

1126
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: struggled to come up with. UM. I just wanted to

1127
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: be honest about things that came to me, and these

1128
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: could Let's see, this will all happen by week four. Um,

1129
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: we will be deluged with a controversy that becomes known

1130
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: as bounty Gate. Two point Oh that's going to be annoying. Okay,

1131
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: say yeah, you gotta say some of these for the

1132
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: sandwich props before, these are different. These are different, um,

1133
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Erica tamp Posey will become a national figure of interest

1134
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: when during the Rams victory over the Niners on Monday

1135
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: Night Football and Week four, she rips across the field

1136
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: during the third quarter to tackle a burly male streaker.

1137
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: WHOA that would be a great hero moment. So like security,

1138
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: she's on security for the Rams. She just feels it's

1139
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 1: in her purview and abilities to take the sky out this.

1140
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: People would love that. People, I think would find that

1141
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: they might find out later that it was all set

1142
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: up previously to make Erica a national figure by Erica's

1143
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: one power. I'm not sure about that one. UM. This

1144
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: this one, I always feel. Whether the Rams camp next Friday,

1145
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: by the way, yes, and we'll see. We'll see her

1146
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: unless she hurt her on Mike if she can. She's

1147
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: not busy tackling drunk strangers right well now, that will

1148
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: happen a Week four UM one NFL game will be

1149
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: postponed by Week four by either a and earthquake. Um

1150
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: I've mentioned that before because I really feel that I'd

1151
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: say one of those things that may be happy a

1152
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: year or two later, or be if not an earthquake,

1153
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: a highly unusual weather event involving birds turning on humans.

1154
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: Um One NFL coach will be fired by week four

1155
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: due to a scandal involving M d M. A secret

1156
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Sessler's greatest hits right now fired through scandal, the natural disaster,

1157
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: last person running on the field. What else have we got?

1158
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: I nailed it last year. We got kids attacking people

1159
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: earlier in the episode. Now it's birds. That's a that's happening.

1160
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: You know, the rolling Stones, they play, the hits they're

1161
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: gonna play. Satisfaction starting saves them for I guess this

1162
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: is the last one. We're enjoying them, by the way,

1163
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: just learning to really lean into it. Kyler Murray introduces

1164
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: a new end Zone celebration where he pretends to sit

1165
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: on a chair like on an air check right while

1166
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: flipping through a book and screaming independently study this. I

1167
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: like that he should do that. He just leans into it.

1168
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: I really liked his yoga pose. I feel like that

1169
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: actually is one of the most underrated touchdown celebrations go

1170
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: in the last few years. And if he pivots to

1171
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: something like this, that would be excepting, you know, would

1172
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: be kind of cool to just to show that he's

1173
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: got more edge now. Uh, and he's pumped up. He

1174
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: could start in the yoga pose and then when the

1175
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 1: camera the fox runs in with the camera guy, he

1176
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: like explodes, like Mark Wahlberg in Theory, He's like, let

1177
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: me in the house. The house is the end zone.

1178
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: I feel like that the culture reference is a little dated,

1179
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: but it might cause some of the again the zoomers

1180
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: out there, Beck, what is he? What is he referencing?

1181
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: All of a sudden fear is number one streaming on Netflix.

1182
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: It's a good strategy for for Netflix. Apparently the yoga

1183
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 1: pose was a nod to baby Yoda in Star Wars. So, um,

1184
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm sounding like a boom or not really even understanding

1185
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: what what the reference was. Dan doesn't understand that baby yoga,

1186
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: Baby Yoda. There was always doing that little peah, that's it.

1187
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I do have one. Um. Mark asked me

1188
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: to come up with one when we were doing the

1189
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: text threat on Sean, we see you on camera, Mark,

1190
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: you asked for a Titans prediction, but to honor the segment,

1191
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: I honestly like, fearlessly cannot I'm distracted by what's happening

1192
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 1: behind me. I can't fearlessly predict something about the Titans

1193
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: because it fills me with fear that I'll either be

1194
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: right or wrong. So I have a Cults one and

1195
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: this tracks with the Houston prediction too. I say Cults

1196
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: start one in three first four games at Houston at Jacksonville,

1197
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: verse Kansas City, and then against the Titans at home.

1198
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: You know those division games are always tougher than you think.

1199
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: Houston Jacksonville. Greg says Houston can beat the Colts. So

1200
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy is the Cults have started one

1201
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: in three twice in Frank Craig's for your career. They're

1202
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: kind of a team that gets better as the season

1203
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: goes on. Do you guys know the last time the

1204
01:04:56,040 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 1: Colts won their Week one game Andrew Lux rookie year,

1205
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: Andrew Lux second year in the league in a long time. Man,

1206
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 1: that's random, but that is true that Reich's including with

1207
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: luck has started slow a few times and last year, uh,

1208
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: they certainly had to dig out of a hole. You

1209
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: have went three in the division potentially on the game

1210
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: fearless it is to have a host of a Titans

1211
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: podcast predicting doom for their arch rivals. That doesn't strike

1212
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: me as fearless. That's that's like, you know, me, you know,

1213
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: picking on the Jets or something like that. It's pretty

1214
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: good though, because nobody everybody thinks, you know, the Cults

1215
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: were a winning team last ye, even as badly these

1216
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: things ended, and a lot of people think they could be,

1217
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, in the driver's seat in that divisions where

1218
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 1: they're acting like Jesus has returned with Matt Ryan's place.

1219
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: So far, I believe they are the Vegas favorites, but

1220
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: they are the favorite they implied odds there if you like,

1221
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: convert the plus minus whatever to imply to odds. It's

1222
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: like for the Colts thirty five percent for the Titans,

1223
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: which is kind of a big difference. That's pretty dist

1224
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: Digger um, before we sign off, good seg. We're all

1225
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: done right that, yeah, Um. Developing news here out of

1226
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills training camp. Nothing too concerning, nobody. Don't get

1227
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: worried Bills fans, but Greg, this is one of your

1228
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: making the Leap candidates. Elena Getzenberg reports Josh Allen went

1229
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: to the ground after Ed Oliver ended up near his

1230
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: legs on a play. Alan got right back up, but

1231
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott immediately kicked Oliver off the field. Do not

1232
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: dive at the kid's legs, not that kid. It sounds

1233
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: like everyone's healthy, though, yes, does this concern you at

1234
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: a doghouse at Oliver goes, I thought Ed Oliver was

1235
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 1: maybe going to get injured during this. So I'm happy

1236
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: that everyone's healthy. But he has learned a lesson the

1237
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: hard way. Do not go near It's like, no, you

1238
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: may not keep practicing in degree heat with pads on

1239
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: against other three pound men. You will be punished very good. Hey,

1240
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: one last thing before we go, I had an idea.

1241
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: It might be a bad idea, But the good thing

1242
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: about this idea is that if it it turns out

1243
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: to be a terrible idea, it will just be something

1244
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: that we won't go on. It won't moving forward, it

1245
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: will never be brought up again. Mhm. It's kind of

1246
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 1: like that um that segment we did a few times

1247
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: that with Baker Mayfield shoot. I wish I had remember

1248
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: what's Greg talking about? You've lost me launching him into

1249
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: the sun. No. This offseason we were doing the spotlight

1250
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: you know someone's spotlight. Wait, we could edit all that.

1251
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: We nail that was a home run side, but then

1252
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: it went away. We never heard about it. We can't

1253
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: even remember the name right now, what's it called? Well?

1254
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: You you described it so poorly. Yeah, that was flashpoint.

1255
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: It was the last point. It's gonna go away like

1256
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: flash point. Oh that was a bad segment. It was

1257
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: such a home run. You always say the right thing.

1258
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: We just did like two of them and then they

1259
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: were gone, never to be heard. Do you remember that

1260
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: whenever we flashpointed someone within within a fortnight, they were

1261
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: the centerpiece of NFL and you don't force it. There

1262
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: wasn't a flashpoint that really came into focus for us

1263
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: and the world moves on. But trust me, the flash

1264
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: point will be back, okaywhere it never went away, right,

1265
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: it's just waiting. It's like it's like a cobra waiting

1266
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: to strike. I was just noting that. I think it

1267
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: had two appearances and it hasn't been mentioned since. Well

1268
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: because you kind of took the l because you thought

1269
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: it was going to be a bad seg and then

1270
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: it was a good seg. And then just because we

1271
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: went away from it, you thought, oh I got the

1272
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 1: w that's gone. It was m let's go back and

1273
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,799
Speaker 1: listen to a crystal ball starts. If you're just joining

1274
01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: us and this is what I want to do. Listener,

1275
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 1: we have an assignment for you, Grave Digger, you can

1276
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: help fill in the details. The Washington Commanders, you know,

1277
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of branding work to do, because

1278
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: they don't they're not the Redskins anymore. They changed their name.

1279
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: They're now the Commanders. Everyone knows the famous fight song

1280
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 1: Hailed to the Redskins also now irrelevant. It's the funct

1281
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: they s chew it. Put that record back on the shelf.

1282
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: Put it on the shelf. Now we still have the

1283
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 1: music of the song, which sounds like this. I think

1284
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: this isn't Yeah, it sounds right, great, Digger, what are

1285
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: the what are the commanders asking their fans to do?

1286
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: So basically, they put out a tweet they're gonna change

1287
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: the lyrics to their fight song, obviously because the name

1288
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: of the fight song was their old mascot. And they

1289
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: basically they just put out two options where they changed

1290
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: the line that used to be hailed to the word

1291
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: but the offensive man Scott. Now they have two other options.

1292
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 1: Fight for our commanders is one of them, which will

1293
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 1: be said twice or leaders on a mission. You can

1294
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 1: see in context say lines around hail to the commanders,

1295
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: hail victory, fight for our commanders, fight for old d C. Okay,

1296
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:22,759
Speaker 1: now do the other one. Hail to the commanders, hail victory,

1297
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 1: leaders on a mission, fight for old d C. So

1298
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,839
Speaker 1: it's either fight for our commanders or leaders on a mission.

1299
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 1: But I don't know neither of those areas getting ready

1300
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: to take command like that they've been cultivating that we're trying.

1301
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: Uh maybe sometime command how they lock in as those

1302
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: are the only two options. They both are raw, non police.

1303
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Rivera said he liked leaders on a mission. I think

1304
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:53,680
Speaker 1: that just is strange. Commanders a couple of times just

1305
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: take command. Well, I was gonna say, if the listeners

1306
01:10:56,360 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 1: wanted to submit a song with their own lyrics, maybe

1307
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 1: it'll be better than what they're trying to get. Tap

1308
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 1: into the creative So yeah, resources of the fan base. Yes,

1309
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 1: if you get your creative juices flowing, great, bigger if

1310
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 1: you could send somewhere or whether it's on Twitter or

1311
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: on the subredd or whatever, give them the bed music

1312
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: and then write your own lyrics to the song. Stay

1313
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 1: within it melodically. Uh, take it easy with some of

1314
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: the certain things. Use some discretion because you understand we

1315
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: can't play if you go all in on certain figures.

1316
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: Not to protect certain figures, but we can't play things

1317
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: about certain figures if you go to on the nose

1318
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: with it. Does everybody know what I'm talking about? I

1319
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,560
Speaker 1: think so well. I believe you're maybe referring to the

1320
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: owner who spent twelve hours being deposed by United States

1321
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: Congress on Thursday. I'm just saying, yeah, you can include facts,

1322
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: of course, but just stay within reason or we're not

1323
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna be able to use it, even if it's tremendous.

1324
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. Those are the guardrails. Listen,

1325
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: you have to operate within the guardrails that we have

1326
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: to operate within if you're gonna be on our air waves.

1327
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: But send in something graver, uh? Is it? What's our Gmail?

1328
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 1: The A t N podcast at gmail dot com? What's

1329
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: going on in that when you when you go into

1330
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 1: that mailbox right now? What what sort of action is happening?

1331
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:18,759
Speaker 1: I have never checked it? Say it again for everyone,

1332
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 1: the A T N Podcast at gmail dot com. Now.

1333
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't want every song version to include this because

1334
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,879
Speaker 1: then it would be too repetitive, But personally I probably

1335
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: will give a little extra pop if you can seamlessly,

1336
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:35,599
Speaker 1: we've in um maybe we're trying to start to as

1337
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: we all know, decided to really go ahead and start

1338
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 1: to take command. Yeah, I think it's safe in a

1339
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 1: fun way. You said it, But also we didn't have

1340
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 1: to say it. I hope not, because you understand what

1341
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: we're looking for. That's what's important to us. That needs

1342
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,640
Speaker 1: to be a major part of the rebranding. So if

1343
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: you could find a way to work that in, either

1344
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: with that sound drop itself or within the lyrics that

1345
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 1: was both works. What are they gonna do when someone

1346
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, listening to this creates a better We'll send it.

1347
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 1: We'll send it along. You never know, if we can,

1348
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 1: if we feel like we could send it along without

1349
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 1: getting fired, we will send it along. And if it's

1350
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 1: just funny, we'll play it on the show and that

1351
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: will be that. That's a great unless it goes too

1352
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,759
Speaker 1: far again future for it to go off the guard rails.

1353
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: We'll listen to it privately and maybe chuckle, but then

1354
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 1: you won't hear it, and the listeners won't it so

1355
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:29,760
Speaker 1: good that they make it the song. And this is

1356
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: a team that frankly hasn't gotten or deserve much positive

1357
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: media coverage in a while. What a way to China.

1358
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: Change the narrative, then align with us, align with the song.

1359
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 1: It's a happy, feel good story. Why why is this

1360
