10
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: second here. This is the first time in the history

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: of this program that we are doing a show where

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: we are the group of four are in three different

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: time zones. Okay, we got Ricky Hollywood over there in

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: New Hampshire, um and some area of her estate. Right now,

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: we have the old Zooster who traveled with the family

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:12,280

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: this might be podcast history forgot about our show. Has

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: this ever happened before? I'm gonna say no, I don't

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: think so. I mean, certainly I would imagine that Los

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Angeles would also categorize Greg and Eyes holding down the metropolis. Um,

23
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't point to anyone else other than the two

24
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: of us doing that work here. It is quiet, I

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, driving around this weekend a little bit. I mean,

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: I feel like it's now in a new level of

27
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: like lack of people here because people have left for

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: the summer and the coronavirus combined that you can you

29
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,880

Speaker 1: smooth sailing. Wow, what are you doing in Westwood? Greg?

32
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: That's that would be my question. Things. No one's allowed

33
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: to know what Greg does in west out in and out,

34
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: you know. Um So, yeah, this is where. This is

40
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: the week off. There will be no u NFL programming

41
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: on Friday, which is connected to some some actual NFL

42
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: news that that goodella, you know, gave June teenth off

43
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: in the what what is now turning into more of

44
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: a national celebration, used to be more where you were

45
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: in Texas of uh, you know, the word that slavery

46
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: was abolished, you know, years after the Imansi Patient Proclamation.

47
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: So the NFL has it totally off and the shows

48
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: are totally off, which is pretty rare for the NFL,

49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: and they're running some special programming. Friday June teenth, also

50
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, and sell Liberate Liberation Day,

51
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: is an American holiday celebrated annually on June nineteenth. It

52
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: commemorates June nine, eighteen sixty five, when Union General Gordon

53
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: Granger read federal orders and Gavelston Texas that all previously

54
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: enslaved people in Texas were free. So Greg with a

55
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: very accurate set up there, and then I gave you

56
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: a little bit of a wiki background on top of it. Mark,

57
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: I know you were just educated. No I knew all

58
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: about it, because you know, that's that's what I do.

59
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: I I heard last week that they we're going to

60
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: move our show and others off the slate. I think

61
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: it's a good thing they've done, and it's kind of funny.

62
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: You would never imagine the NFL to have done this

63
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, that a lot of things

64
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: have have changed for the better. This is the classic

65
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Juneteenth episode of Atlanta. You know that's that's a winner.

66
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorites. Yes, I don't know if

67
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: I saw that one. Good show though, I like Atlanta FS. Wow,

68
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: what programming that coming out with on a fairly regular basis.

69
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Daniel looking very um, I just want to say, like

70
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: the hair is looking well, It's kind of like I've

71
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: been following, um, you know Alec Baldwin's journey through the

72
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: whole Corona time and he goes through periods where he

73
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: looks a little unwashed and a little uh weathered, but

74
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: he then suddenly looks very shiny and put together. And

75
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: you have kind of that fielding right now. Your shirt

76
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: looks uh washed and folded and it's now cleaning to

77
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 1: your body with Sydney part one of the great actors.

78
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Better you should stay that close. I think it's like

79
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: it's less hollow when you're that close. I like that

80
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: you're less hollow when you're this close. Nailed it all right,

81
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: good show coming up today. We are going to break

82
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: down a little envy P talk, but not not in

83
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: the more basic way where you're just saying who's gonna

84
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: win m v P, Patrick mahomes Lamar Jackson. We're gonna

85
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: kind of take a look at a team by team

86
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: and throw out some team MVP favorites and maybe some

87
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: surprise names, names that don't jump out at you. And

88
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: whether they actually contend for league MVP honors is another

89
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: um debate. But we're talking about team by teams, so

90
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna throw some out there and have a nice

91
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: little conversation there. I have a piece on NFL dot com,

92
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: A two part are actually coming out this week on

93
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: this on that very subject. So we'll talk it out

94
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: and if you guys have some really good ones, I'm

95
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: gonna probably steal it. Just let you know you haven't

96
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: written the piece yet or you will. I'm halfway through.

97
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: I'm halfway through the crowdsourcing exercise. UM, it's gonna it

98
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: might very well turn into that, but it's really up

99
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: to you. I mean, put it this way, Mark, if

100
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: you come up with a killer, like a killer m

101
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: v P favorite that I said, WHOA, and I've already

102
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: written the copy I probably won't go back and change

103
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: because you know what, I'm just not going to do

104
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: that amount of work. But if I haven't written the

105
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: team yet, I will and I might even put, as

106
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler pointed out on a recent Around the NFL podcast,

107
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: if I'm feeling especially magnanimous or I might just jack it, well,

108
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: I would just point out that Greg Greg did mention

109
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: my name and his um and you forget the title

110
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: of this series, but the projected starter series, I got

111
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: a name drop in that. So if you want any

112
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: credibility with me, you better do the same. I mean,

113
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: time's going to mention that you read that series from

114
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Greg Brown knows he's not your boss anymore. It's not,

115
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: it's just fast. We're just part of it. It's like

116
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: I read the top ten favorite players and Mark Sessler's history,

117
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: he had Randall Conny Nham on there, which to me

118
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: as a kid was was my favorite. So a lot

119
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: of you know, just shared DNA right now, But yeah,

120
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: that changed Gregg's life, and it changed the lives of

121
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: about forty eight other people that clicked into the article.

122
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: So um, you know, there's no end of the scope.

123
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: A lot of shared DNA between the two of U

124
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: and l A right now, Um, all right, let's start

125
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: though by doing some Newspreme Court has rule that LGBT

126
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: Americans are protected by the anti discrimination laws of this

127
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: country at their workplaces. They cannot be fired or otherwise

128
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: discriminated against at work simply because they're lesbian, gay, bisexual,

129
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: or transgender. How about that, Ricky Hollywood picking the news

130
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: drop today and can get behind that the civil rights

131
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: law uh protecting LGBT workers. It was a ruling by

132
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Erica, you're feeling good, right, Yeah, it's exciting.

133
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: All fifty states, um, no discrimination in the workplace for

134
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: LGBT rights. So that's really exciting. I saw a cool

135
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: map on Twitter that was going around and it was

136
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: like all of the states in gray that you can

137
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: no longer be discriminated against, and the whole United States

138
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: was great. So it's pretty cool. It's a it's a

139
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: it's good news for Monday morning. Thanks for giving the

140
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: bare minimum. Supreme Court. Yeah, exactly, finally your government working

141
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: for you. Um, all right, let's uh, let's get to

142
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: the news. So that's very good news. Here's not so

143
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: good news. A small number of Dallas Cowboys players have

144
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: tested positive for the coronavirus uh this report from rap

145
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: Sheet earlier today, and some Houston Texans players have also

146
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: tested positive. Among the players is Pro Bowl running back

147
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, who tested positive but is feeling good, according

148
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: to a report. Um. Elliott on Twitter later questioned why

149
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: his medical information was being made public with a simple

150
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: tweet that read, h I p A a double question

151
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: mark that was referring to the health Insurance Portability and

152
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: accountabil the act. UH mark your thoughts when you saw this, Well,

153
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna deep dive into the Hippa angle of this.

154
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: I had learned later that you know, not everyone has

155
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: protected the way that as Zukule Elliott mentioned by HIPPA

156
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: refers more to medical practitioners. And I will leave it

157
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: there for someone to correct me, UM, but I will

158
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: say that that I think it's a it's a lesson

159
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: that coronavirus UM is not just gonna play by the

160
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: rules of you know, oh, you're you're a third stringer

161
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: that might see limited snaps, so I'll I'll come and

162
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: get you. Um, I'm not gonna come get any star players.

163
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean, coronavirus is circulating um at a rapid pace

164
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: in multiple states right now. It's not just simply gone

165
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: away because we long for certain creature comforts, and we

166
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: long to sit by our friends pool side with drinks

167
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: in our hands. It's just not UM. I think it's

168
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: it's a thorny issue. And you're already seen UM in

169
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: the NBA circles players for multiple reasons questioning whether they

170
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: should be shoved in to an Orlando bubble to play

171
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: UM for a couple of things. Number one, the coronavirus

172
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: health issues. Number two, what's happening in our country right

173
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: now with a lot of other stuff and with the

174
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: focus on equality and uh, black lives matter, do we

175
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: want to make do we want to create diversions in

176
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: terms of sports? The NBA players are talking about that.

177
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: When it comes to the NFL UM you know, we're

178
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: seeing college players, uh, you know, succumbing to the coronavirus

179
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: still too. I think it just creates immense logistical issues.

180
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh mentioned how impossible it will be to manage

181
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: a team with the guidelines they put out, And we

182
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: can talk all day long about how will player X

183
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: look as a fantasy player all this, but none of

184
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: us have coaching ties, and none of us really have

185
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: a real concept of what it's like to have to

186
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: train seventy to ninety players to prepare for a season,

187
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: whittle them down and get them community wise into one

188
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: solid spot to start week one. It is the challenge

189
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: of what they put into this, the challenges that are

190
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 1: you know, now embedded into the league with with spacing

191
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: and social distancing. Um are fine as long as coronavirus

192
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: does not attack rosters. And we're already seeing that that's

193
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: just not how not how it works, right, And you know,

194
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: I think there's this date in everyone's mind, you know,

195
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: September ten, can you know, the race to get there?

196
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: But in my mind, it's kind it's more like j

197
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: that's or July when those Hall of Fame game teams

198
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: are supposed to show up. Thirty is when the rest

199
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: of the team starts going on. It's like that soon

200
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: and that's a ton of people and the cowboys getting

201
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, a handful of cowboys and a handful of

202
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: tech in Texans getting it. Who knows how many other

203
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: players have gotten it that that we don't know about.

204
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: And it's hard not to think about, Okay, all these

205
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: players are practicing already together. Texas, you know, is was

206
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: one of the first states to kind of open back up,

207
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: and this is just going to be part of what

208
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: teams and the league has to deal with. In the

209
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: league admitted as much even when they were laying out

210
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: these guidelines. I mean, the NBA said this as much

211
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: to like, players will test positive. It's just what is

212
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: the reaction going to be in terms of how you

213
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: can keep them away from the rest of the team

214
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: and just the million logistical you know, problems, which hard

215
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: which hard hit on that are like coming soon. It's

216
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: to me, it's like a rate. It's unlike any offseason

217
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: in so many ways, but it has to feel like

218
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: a race for the NFL to try to somehow have

219
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: a plan ready for July and then be able to

220
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: adapt after that. And it really it does make me think,

221
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: like why play a preseason for for one, like if

222
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: you can buy any more time that that seems like

223
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: something you should do. Just to question you guys, because

224
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't so many months ago that a just a

225
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: small handful of confirmed positive cases in the NBA shut

226
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: down basketball. I mean, it's shut it down for the

227
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: long haul. Is it just because now we're exhausted. Um,

228
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: we have a couple of confirmed case is in the NFL,

229
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: and it's just full steam ahead. It just seems like, um,

230
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: the polar shift is in our thinking and in the

231
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: league's thinking versus how we're treating it as a country.

232
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: Is it? We just are we tired of this? Of

233
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: course we're tired of it, but you have to be

234
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: smart about it. And Hardback used the term he said,

235
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: humanly impossible to follow the protocol that the NFL is

236
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: laying out, And I don't know, it's it's interesting to

237
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: me being in Texas right now that these Texans players

238
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: and Cowboys players testing positive. I'm not necessarily connecting dots,

239
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: but it just made me think about when I went

240
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: into a Walmart yesterday here and nine out of ten

241
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: people weren't wearing masks. And you know, if that's where

242
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: we're heading right now, where people are going to get

243
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: more and more lax with how they're trying to protect

244
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: themselves and and people are getting more and more cavalier

245
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: about going out and hanging out with friends, it just

246
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: seems like we might be heading toward a potential disaster,

247
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: both in terms of human life lost potential. Uh, but

248
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: also the right from a sports standpoint, that's gonna be

249
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: something that could end up knocking all of us out

250
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: of play and not being able to watch games and

251
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: games cannot be played. So we'll see how it plays out,

252
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, it's like it's like two different things.

253
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: Like at this point, I think the country on some

254
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: level has just decided to accept you know, eight dred

255
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: nine D Death of Day will take it. We're gonna,

256
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, and we're the US is

257
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: projected to get over two hundred thousand deaths, Like that's

258
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: that's coming. We're in the one, you know, hundred teams

259
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: right now. It's sad, and it's like it's trying to

260
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: manage you know, businesses and your work around it. But

261
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: the NFL and and pro sports is obviously, you know,

262
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: not the same as setting up a couple outside tables

263
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: at a restaurant. You know. It's just there's so many

264
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: I just think there's so many consequences that like teams

265
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: and players and everyone. They'll probably get criticized in the end,

266
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: but it's like who is prepared to really deal with this,

267
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it's almost been it's

268
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: and things are gonna happen that we haven't even thought

269
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: about and that they haven't thought about. And I don't know,

270
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: there's no one that really knows where this is going.

271
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: In other news, Pete Carroll was in the news late

272
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: last week. Uh it was about Colin Kaepernick, and he

273
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: said in an interview that he regrets the Seahawks not

274
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: signing Kaepernick in seventeen. He denied that a second meeting

275
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: with the quarterback didn't happen in eighteen because of the

276
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: team's uncertainty about whether you plan to continue kneeling during

277
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: the national anthem. And then he added some intrigue to

278
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: the Kaepernick story by uh saying that there is someone

279
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: out there that reached out to him asking about the quarterback.

280
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: Let's listen to Carol. I like our setup right now,

281
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, I love the way you know fits together

282
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: in a role and all that. So it's not really

283
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: available at this time force, But um, I wouldn't have

284
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: and I've said this ongoing for years, if Russie ever

285
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: got tangled up and couldn't play or something, Kapital have

286
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: been an extraordinary candidate to take over because of his

287
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: the dynamics of his play. You know, we've always really

288
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: cherished the unique qualities that players bring in, and he

289
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: had a unique style that we couldn't have respected more.

290
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: But um, I never talked to another head coach about

291
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: I never talked to anybody about it until today. I

292
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: got a phone call today. I'm gonna tell you who was.

293
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: I got a phone call today and asking inquiring about

294
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: the situation. So I know, you know, somebody's interested. Greg,

295
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: what'd you take out of that? The big thing is

296
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: that someone called Carol. I mean to me, I'm less

297
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: interested in kind of you know, dissecting all the ways

298
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: Carol's words are not quite you know, logical if you

299
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: hold them up to you, you know, the light of

300
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: day thinking about two thousand seventeen when he signed Austin Davis,

301
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: and well, why do you bring him in if you

302
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: weren't going to sign him, you know, as a backup?

303
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: I started. That part doesn't matter the fact that the

304
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: team is actually calling Carroll for info is interesting to

305
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: me because I thought, you know, by the workout last year,

306
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: this was not gonna happen. Um, And so it gives

307
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: me some hope. And I do think I do think

308
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna just come down to the owner. Um. I

309
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: think it's just gonna come down to the owner making

310
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: a decision and maybe the coach maybe just making a

311
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: unilateral decision, even if the coach isn't a percent on board,

312
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: and just saying I'm gonna do this because I think

313
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: it's good for the league, which owners used to do

314
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: all the time, Like you know, small market big market

315
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: teams in New York decided to share all the revenues

316
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: with with Green the Green Bay Packers for what was

317
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: good in the league. And I think to reach out

318
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: to the young fans, the black fans, like having the

319
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: amount of roster is gonna say as much um, you know,

320
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: in terms of being a symbol than any statement or

321
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: or any money even that that that the league is

322
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: donating fine with you. I think that also you look

323
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: at the words of a lot of players that the

324
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: stining of Colin Kaepernick is not a um maybe or

325
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: a preference. It is what they are many are pointing

326
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: to as a distinct um symbol of change in the

327
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: NFL versus lip service. And I do think the NFL's

328
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: um you know, higher ups are looking at all of

329
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: this very differently. We've been on some of these calls,

330
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: UH with with our fellow employees who have spoken from

331
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: the heart, and I do think it's changed, um the

332
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: p O V and the way that the people, you know,

333
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: the lens that we see the league through. But to

334
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: simply ignore the Kaepernick issue, and you've got a bunch

335
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: of there are there are a handful of teams where

336
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, you can agree there's not a starting job

337
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: out there, but there are a number of backups that

338
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about a player that went from Super Bowl

339
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: starter two out of the league in a few years.

340
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: Find me another case study like that. I mean, what

341
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: kind of mind was the Steelers? Um, that was one

342
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: team that came to mind because they they can use

343
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: a backup and you know they it's called the Rooney

344
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: rule for a reason. They're also a team I think

345
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: that an ownership group that has looked to the greater

346
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: good of the league. It's not and I don't I

347
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: want to make it clear like Kaepernicks earned an opportunity.

348
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: It's not like you're doing them a favor, but on

349
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: some level, like it is the best way to say

350
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: you're sorry, it is. It's not. It's not an apology contract,

351
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: and it might be complicated, but like that, that's probably

352
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: like the clearest way that that you can do it.

353
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 1: I mean, they already settled the case, and that is

354
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: this like side issue that no one wants to talk about,

355
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: that they had already paid Kaepernick money. There was a

356
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: grievance at the NFL admitted and and so there's a

357
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: lot into it. I know it's not as simple, um,

358
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: but it could be as simple as someone like a

359
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: Rooney just saying all right, let's just do this. Yeah,

360
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: And it feels like they're although still polarizing issue of course,

361
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: the kneeling issue. I'm looking at a poll that was

362
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: just released that fifty two percent of Americans, the majority

363
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: of the country, now agree that it is okay for

364
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: players to kneel during the national anthem to protest killings

365
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: of African Americans. You know, I think that there's still

366
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be a lot of push and pull

367
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: on that issue, but it feels like it's more it's

368
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: the water is warmer now than it was when Kaepernick

369
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: initially kneeled, and I think there might be an owner

370
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: that sees that as well and says, well, you know what,

371
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: maybe I can do this and not have to worry

372
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: about getting hit, whether it's in revenue dollars and AD dollars.

373
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: And then the other part of it is, and I

374
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: talked about this on our Friday show, Pee Carol keeps

375
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: popping up in these conversations, and he keeps on talking

376
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: about Kaepernick, and and he obviously has um a connection

377
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: with him, both um during his time with the Seahawks

378
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: and then when Kaepernick was a star for a rival

379
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 1: team in the division. But I I just, for some reason,

380
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: there's something about Carol doing all this talking but not

381
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: actually doing any action and then saying, oh, well, we

382
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: have Geno Smith, so we're not in this conversation. Well,

383
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: how about you bring Colin Kaepernick into the building also

384
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: and have him compete with Geno Smith and if he

385
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: is as good as you say he is, then maybe

386
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: he'll just maybe beat out Geno Smith. Because the other

387
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: thing we're seeing all this content the content mill and

388
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: during the quiet offseason. All right, everybody, right, your top

389
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: landing spots are conceivable landing spots or Colin Kaepernick, I

390
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: mean as a backup quarterback, he fits in with the

391
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: majority of the league, So like that's that's fishing a barrel.

392
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: There's so many places where he would make sense, and

393
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: Seattle is one of them. Whether Pete Carroll wants to

394
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: say it or not. Anyway, let's uh, let's move on

395
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. Uh. He has taken care of his latest

396
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: legal issues. He pled no contest to felony battery charges

397
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: charges and been sentenced to one hundred hours of community service. Uh.

398
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: This was connected to that incident. I believe that was

399
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: connected to a moving company in front of his house

400
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: and a moving truck, a moving truck, a moving truck

401
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: driver and other characters. There you go. So he's been

402
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: that's been cleared from his his legal deck has been cleared,

403
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: and now we find out what happens with the NFL.

404
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: A very different case than Colin Kaepernick. Obviously another guy

405
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: who could absolutely uh be a playmaker in the NFL

406
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: if he could play. But this is the situation of

407
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown has made himself toxic. You wonder if someone's

408
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: going to take a chance on him. It's been pretty

409
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: quiet on that front. You know, one go ahead, Well,

410
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: I just think they're waiting to hear from the NFL.

411
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: What is he's going to be suspended? That's it, right,

412
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: How that's gonna be what gets in the job if

413
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: he gets suspended. Well, but there's there's gotta be a

414
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: little bit more than just suspended, because I mean he

415
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: you know, went into multiple locker rooms last year and

416
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: caused uh, endless drama. He's also a top two or

417
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: three wide receiver if he's on his game. So he

418
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: put a picture of himself out there on Instagram in

419
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: a Ravens uniform. He has spent this offseason at times

420
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: practicing with Lamar Jackson, who was backed the idea of

421
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: antone Neo Brown joining Baltimore. So you think maybe he

422
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: is on the Ravens. Have we considered that, well, that's

423
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: a very fair question. We don't. We have not dived

424
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: into the um the mental processing at this point. But

425
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: I think it's it's that's the that's the dot I

426
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: would connect most strongly at this point based on you know,

427
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: if a free agent is putting in a picture of

428
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: mouth there in a in the uniform of a certain team,

429
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: I will look at that. You don't like that either, Mark,

430
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: Like if you're if you're a fan of an a

431
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: f C North team that's not the Ravens. Perhaps Antonio Brown,

432
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: if he ever got another job, would destroy a locker

433
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: room just because he can't keep it together. But also

434
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: the thought of adding Antonio Brown to that group in

435
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: Balto that maybe maybe is missing that one final piece

436
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: as like a weapon. Greg, you did great job on

437
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: your projected starter series. Uh, they didn't bring in a

438
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: lot of new talent at the wide receiver position. They're

439
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: just kind of hoping those guys developed. But if you

440
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: brought in an Antonio Brown, my god, well he's but

441
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: he's due to me a lengthy suspension and there is

442
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: still a civil case um from his former trainer who

443
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: accused him of sexual assault and rape that is still pending.

444
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: So I guess I'm I'm skeptical. I wouldn't be surprised

445
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: if we never see Antonio Brown and in the league.

446
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: And and I'm still skeptical that you know that would

447
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: be coming this year, right because we've heard about it

448
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: from Brown, and even if Lamar Jackson puts in a

449
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: good word, we've not heard from the Ravens. And it

450
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: is you know, there's owner buy into a lot of

451
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: the stuff we're talking about today, but owner buy into

452
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown will probably be necessary. I mean, he's supposedly well,

453
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: we'll see if he's on the Patriots salary cap right

454
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: now they they have a grievance against him to or

455
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: they're supposedly potentially getting money back from Antonio about otherwise.

456
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: Right now he's four million dollars on the cap. I

457
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: think what a mess. Uh. In other news, let's head

458
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: to Chicago, where the Bears have two quarterbacks competing for

459
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: the starting job. Nick Foles, who they acquire been a

460
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: trade in the off season, and Mitchell Trabiskie, the former

461
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: first round pick, the man taken yes before Deshaun Watson,

462
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: before Patrick Mahomes, and yet he is on the ropes

463
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: with the Bears after a really uh rough twenty nineteen campaign.

464
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: He spoke to Chicago reporters on a zoom call on Friday,

465
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: and he says, this is still my team, and yeah,

466
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: I am a little annoyed that I have this competition

467
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: in the building and I want to do something about it.

468
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. I think I was

469
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: kind of piste off in a good way. I've been

470
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: motivated every since. I've been motivated, um since our season

471
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: ended last year. I didn't feel like it went the

472
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: way we wanted to, and we left a lot out there.

473
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: But um, I'm excited for this year. It's I think

474
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good competition. And uh, fools has

475
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: had has a crazy career as well, so it's been

476
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: cool having him in our room talking ball. Um. I

477
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: know we're gonna push each other, but I still feel

478
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: like this is my team, um, and I'm excited for

479
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: the competition and just get back on the field with

480
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: my guys and and show everybody what I can still do.

481
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: And oh I could see it market bumps just here

482
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: in that. Well, I don't think it feels like his

483
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: team at all. I will give him credit for one

484
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: thing when they asked him, all, why don't this is

485
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: not the stuff that's getting me you know, that's you know,

486
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: getting me to jump out of bed in the morning.

487
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: I'll give you that much. But like when they when

488
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: they say when they asked him about the fifth year

489
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: option that he know they declined, which is notable, um

490
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: and speaks more than anything else they've done. Uh. He

491
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: basically said he agreed he didn't earn it, and I

492
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: at least, you know, there wasn't a lot of you know,

493
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: nonsense around that he's being real and like he didn't

494
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: earn it. I mean he is these he would they

495
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: traded up for the for him in the second overall

496
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, and uh, to me, he has

497
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: not lived up to that. Uh from any shading in

498
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: any angle you look at and I think he is

499
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: the not the starter. He is clearly the second in

500
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: charge without any question. Why bring in Nick Foles? It's

501
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: a distraction. Why bring him in if he's not the starter?

502
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: Nick Foles? Right, I'd love to do a historical analysis

503
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: of quarterback who said this is my team. If it's

504
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: your team, you don't have to say it. You know.

505
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: Drew Brees isn't like this is my team. You know.

506
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady wasn't saying this is my team. Like when

507
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: once you get to the point where you have to

508
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: say it, it's too late. Yeah. I don't know what

509
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: he could have said that wouldn't lead to him getting

510
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of uh, you know, jabs from jabronies

511
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: like us. But I guess you're just in a situation

512
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: where there's nothing to really say, and you you you

513
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: go like the Eli Manning route where you're just like, yeah,

514
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's gonna be a competition, and I

515
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: look forward to it and may the best man win.

516
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: Anything else, You're just gonna come off as kind of

517
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: a joke, it seems. And that's where Trabinsky is at

518
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: the stage of his career. Is there any chance I

519
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: know your answer to this, uh, Mark, but Greg, is

520
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: there any chance that Trabinsky can play? And he just

521
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: had a bad year definitely seen enough now where he's

522
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: just he can't. He's just no good. He's a backup

523
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: at the NFL level. I think to find I guess

524
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: that define you know, can play if if everything is

525
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: great around him and Naggy cooks up some plays, and

526
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: then yeah, then he could have a season where people

527
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: sort of fall for uh for him like they did

528
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Sure, I mean we've seen it.

529
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: I don't think. But if that's your ceiling, I'm not

530
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: getting too excited. I also think that you know, there

531
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: are a lot of people around there thinking we can

532
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: stick with Mitch Robisky, but it might cost all of

533
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: us are jobs, and they quickly looked around for something

534
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: that they felt more sure of. Yeah, I mean, we

535
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: we've talked about on the show that barring some type

536
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: of seismic change in his career. That's going to go

537
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: down as one of the most infamous moments in the

538
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: history of the Chicago Bears. Trading up to get your

539
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: whisky too. With Patrick Mahomes on the board. There was

540
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: a lot of picks to move up that one spot.

541
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: It was like three twos or something like that, to

542
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: just to just the you know, past the forty niners

543
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: who had no interest in him anyways, and Ryan Pace

544
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: was the guy he made the pick, right, that's right.

545
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: Kind of a little surprising he survived all this, but

546
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: so far, I guess that that's why to what you

547
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: guys are saying, that's why Nick Foles is there, because

548
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: he needed to pivot out of this at a certain

549
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: point and just hope for Foals to kind of save

550
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: his job. That's where they're at in Chicago right now.

551
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: By the way, I mentioned Lamar Jackson. Did you guys

552
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: see the jet Ski football? Yes? Yes, I mean the

553
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: TMZ headline was a little overstated. It was like Lamar

554
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: Jackson like barely avoid death, you know with jet Ski,

555
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, come down, he like

556
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: jumped over, I mean, not moving jet Ski basically, right,

557
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: he's safe on that front. But it's again, it was

558
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: another It was a collection of, you know, fifteen people

559
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: not wearing masks. And I'm not trying to beat down

560
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: the door of everyone must do this all the time.

561
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I don't care at all, and

562
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: we'll see how that works. I don't know where they

563
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: were or what they were. I'd be more worried if

564
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: I was a razing just seeing him running around on

565
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: the beach. I don't like that. You know, Robert Yard,

566
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots rookie of the Year that essentially ended his

567
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: career with the beach accident. I a lot of people

568
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: running on the beach. You get a lot of you know,

569
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: it's it's not good for you know, it's not good

570
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: for you don't like did you Mark? Did you not

571
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: watch the whole video? I did watch the video immediately

572
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: preceding the game. They all tested um negative for I

573
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't see that preuel to the video.

574
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't see that they did the temperature

575
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: scan before they stepped onto the beach. Oh no, I well,

576
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: I I'm also then, my bad. I simply watched the

577
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: action part of the film where he narrowly missed like

578
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: a motor of a jet ski. Speaking of jet skis

579
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: my wife as a Father's Day gift, we're gonna be

580
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: at my um uh. And I don't like in laws.

581
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't like that term because I cool for that.

582
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: By the way, my wife's parents, Bob and are great people.

583
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: And when I just throw my in laws like that,

584
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going to use that. That feels cold to me. Family.

585
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: You know, they're your family. Okay, I'll go with that

586
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: extended family x fan, which also sounds negative. That means

587
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: that divorced. Yeah, okay, Well, anyway, I got it for

588
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: a Father's Day gift, got a wave Runner to use,

589
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,479
Speaker 1: and so I just want and that's the same as

590
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: a jet ski essentially. So just want to let you

591
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: get guys know that you know you might not see

592
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: me again, provide video. Yeah. Is that one of those

593
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: gifts that you're like, oh, this will be fun, honey.

594
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: How was the what was your reaction? I've I've gone

595
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: wave running before. I used the wave Runner before, and

596
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's quite a lot of fun, but it

597
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: could be dangerous in the wrong hands. I mean, Lamar

598
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: Jackson was killed himself and the thing was stationary. But

599
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: these things they got quite an engine in them, and

600
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: they go pretty fast across the water. Ricky, I know

601
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: there's got to be a whole fleet of wave runners

602
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: and jet skis at the Godfather Kept Compound where you're at. No, No, no,

603
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: they're they're not. But I do remember almost being late

604
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: to Western Lakisha's wedding because I was out on the

605
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: ocean on a jet ski and I was supposed to

606
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: film the wedding and I was like, oh my god,

607
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: we got it stressful racing back at nine. Literally, well

608
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: you made it all right. That's what's happening in the news.

609
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: Did I miss anything? I don't think so, that's all

610
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: that's happened. Bill O'Brien and Baker Mayfield are among those

611
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: who say they will kneel during the national anthem come

612
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: September if there is indeed football. That's that speaks to

613
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: what you were talking about before with the yeah, like okay,

614
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: owners maybe they feel differently about it, or they're worried

615
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: the fans do. It's like you're the coach of the

616
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: tex since whose you know ownership is, you know, known

617
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: as very conservative, is saying he's going to yeah, people

618
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: are yeah. I think Baker Mayfield in Ohio took quite

619
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: a bit of heat for um taking that stance. And

620
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: you know what, go for it, do what you feel

621
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: is right. These are the people that you line up against,

622
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: you work with every day. They're essentially your brothers. I mean,

623
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: give me a break with what the fans think. All right,

624
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: let's move on and get into some talk about team

625
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: m v p s. Of this is as I said,

626
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be up on there on the NFL

627
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: dot com, but I thought this would be a fun

628
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: group conversation as well. There are picks when you do

629
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: this type of exercise that you don't want to get

630
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: overly cute and and uh and for instance, I'll use

631
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens as an example. I can I could say

632
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown is my pick for the team MVP of

633
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens in but that's ridiculous, so you gotta go

634
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson. But for some teams you can you

635
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,479
Speaker 1: can make a case for a player that's a little

636
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: off the radar. You could also call that a non quarterback.

637
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: So I was curious what you boys thought when you

638
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: went through each of the teams. And we're trying to

639
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: come up with who would be the most likely team MVP.

640
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: Who are Who's a guy? Uh, it could be a quarterback,

641
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: but also not a quarterback who jumps out at you

642
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: with someone that could end up garnering those internal honors

643
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. Greg, we'll start with you, okay, Um, Well,

644
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: one night popped into mind mind as like a left

645
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: field pick which I guess we're talking about, would be

646
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: late in vander ash of the Cowboys. That if to me,

647
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: he's like a he's such a key to their entire

648
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: team and defense. When he was on the field and

649
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: playing like he was that you know, you made a

650
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: Chris Westling fall in love as a young man just

651
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Uh, they were there were

652
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: such a different defense. They were a faster defense, and

653
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: he was the type of player who could be a

654
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year type of guy, maybe a

655
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: Team m v P type of guy. Last year it

656
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: wasn't the same. And then he got a next surgery

657
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: and everyone in Dallas was like, Oh, there, he's fine.

658
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: Now he got his next surgery, Like that is serious.

659
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: He's a young player. Jalen Smith also played much worse

660
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: a year ago than he did in twenty eighteen. And

661
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: I think that was partly because he didn't have vander

662
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: Esh next to him and playing playing as well, And

663
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: so that was a guy like in a in a

664
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: perfect world for the Cowboys, if Laton vander Esh balls

665
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: out and is a team m v P type of guy,

666
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: you know, along with their great offense and like, then

667
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: they can do the things that a lot of people

668
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: are predicting they can do. I mean, I'd argue that

669
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: he kind of was during that rookie year in a way.

670
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: I mean the way he played down the stretch, so

671
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: it's not inconceivable. And if he's healthy, um, you taking

672
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: him right back into that role. And I like that pick. Yeah.

673
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: You look at the Cowboys, they made the decision to

674
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: bring in Ceedee Lamb with the first round pick. They

675
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: were thrilled and they thought, and a lot of people

676
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: think that he fell into their laps as a potential

677
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: star wide receiver. So if you had to pick, if

678
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: you had to kind of wager not that we would

679
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: ever do that connected to professional football, where the team

680
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: MVP would come out of you would look at whether

681
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: it was Zeke Elliott or Dak or um Amari Cooper

682
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: or if you really wanted to get bullish on the

683
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: rookie Ceedee Lamb one of those guys. But yeah, I

684
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: think vander Esh is the guy that jumps out to you.

685
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: That's a good sleeper, Greg, I like that. And if

686
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are you know, eleven and five twelve and

687
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: four team instead of like the typical nine and seven

688
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: outfit they trot out, it seems like a lot it

689
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: will be because the defense is badass. And if the

690
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: defense is badass, that means that late in vander Esh

691
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: most likely is a badass. So Dan, for your article, well,

692
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: I just have to ask, is that one that you

693
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: had not already chosen? Someone in his Gregg maybe found

694
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: an answer for you on that front for your article

695
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: it's coming out. Greg's making me think. I mean, it's

696
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: tough because if they go twelve and four. As you

697
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: were talking, I was like, I don't know where Doc

698
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: is in terms of like the national you know, m

699
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: v P race, but certainly he'd be a guy that

700
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: you would think it would have a chance if if

701
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: they rack up some numbers. When you look at Dac,

702
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: he's he's been almost doesn't get enough love for how

703
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: consistent he's been his ceiling and floora every year. If

704
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: Doc does his you know it throws at yards and

705
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: thirty four touchdowns or something that's. Yeah, that's kind of

706
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: what we've come to expect from that guy at this point.

707
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: Right Unless he has something like how we started last

708
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: season and then carried it through for sixteen weeks, then

709
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: then you're all bets are off. He might be the

710
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: actual m v P mark. How about you. I'll stick

711
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: with defense, and I don't know if you've come up

712
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: with one for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but I'll go with

713
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen uh their second year pass rusher. I think

714
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: that's a team where you don't automatically ticket. I like

715
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew as much as anyone, but you don't just

716
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: take at the quarterback like him more than anyone, okay

717
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: more than most um. But you could see them going

718
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: four and twelve or five and eleven um anyone din

719
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: and I like, I would say that Josh Allen would

720
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: have what would have a big part of what is

721
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: happening on defense for them in general. He had last year,

722
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: if you look at PFF, the highest UM edge rushing

723
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: grade of any rookie outside of Nick Bosa. So I

724
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: I think he number one. I think watching him earlier

725
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: in the year, he was he's the guy. He's fascinating

726
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: to watch. I think he's a legit um menace. He

727
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: could create tons of problems. They are not a great

728
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: defense on paper, but they have added a bunch of

729
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: people and he's not the only edge rusher on that team.

730
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: So I like the idea of him um in terms

731
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville's most valuable player being someone that could notch

732
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: double digit sacks um maybe helped create more chaos than

733
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: anyone else on their entire defense and be a pro bowler.

734
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah that I picked Josh Allen too for the X

735
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: so we're locks step there right. Well, I feel a

736
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: lot better now. Yeah. I struggle with Jacksonville a little

737
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: bit because I'm not and listeners know the podcasts. I

738
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: differ with the opinions of Mark and west On Gardner

739
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: meanshow so that kind of and I don't believe in

740
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette like a lot of people, and so

741
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything anyone anyone obvious on the offensive

742
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: side of the ball. And then Alan would be the

743
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: guy when he at the level that he flashes a

744
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: rookie that jumped out to me the most, Greg, is

745
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 1: there a guy, another guy in the Jaguars that maybe

746
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: you could throw out there that would make sense for

747
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: a minute. Last year, DJ Chark was like leading the league,

748
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: you know. I know, he slowed down quite a bit

749
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: and ended up with about a thousand yards. But he

750
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: he has a pretty complete skill set. It came out

751
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: of it didn't come out of nowhere. I mean, he

752
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: was a relatively high pick, but he he's a guy

753
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: who could get even better in year three. All Right,

754
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: I'll throw it out there. Let's move to the a

755
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: f C North and I'll go Joe Mixon. Yeah, the

756
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: running back. He is entering the fourth year. It's the

757
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: final year of his contract, and I don't want to

758
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: get bogged down and what if he holds out and

759
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: all that business. I'd rather not think about that stuff. Uh,

760
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: and just assume they either extend him. Because he was

761
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,959
Speaker 1: a second round pick, he's not under the traditional fifth

762
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: round option rookie deal. So this is it from mixing.

763
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: So he's in a contract year and uh, Joe Burrow

764
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: obviously is the guy that people are connecting to the

765
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: Bengals is the guy that's gonna rise them out of irrelevance.

766
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: But I look at Mixing is a fully formed guy

767
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: that's at the peak of his talent and all purpose back.

768
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: And he's played for two seller dwelling Bengals teams the

769
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: last two years, including a two and fourteen outfit last year,

770
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,479
Speaker 1: and he put up over those two years almost three

771
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: thousand all purpose yards and seventeen touchdowns. His first year

772
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: was he kind of a wipe out. He came to

773
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: camp out of shape and and you take out the

774
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: rookie year. But the last two years he's really been very,

775
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: very good. And now you add as we've talked about

776
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: on the show, um a j Green back to a

777
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: like a sneaky, very solid playmaker corps on offense, I

778
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: think Mixing is in a great position to put up

779
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: even better numbers. And yeah, the fact that it comes

780
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: in his contract here he probably won't be there won't

781
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: be any concerns about him coming to camp out of shape.

782
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: He reports on time because he wants to get paid. Yeah,

783
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: I love that pick. He was one that popped up

784
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: to me as like as he truly, I mean, this

785
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: would be whatever a thousand to one or whatever it

786
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: is as like a league M v P type of guy. Yeah,

787
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: because Joe Joe Mixing, I mean in the Bengals that

788
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: would have to win enough and there's a million things

789
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,479
Speaker 1: that won't happen that it will get in his way.

790
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: But I saw on Twitter today that I think it

791
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: was Sam Munson from PF and there there's an article

792
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: said Nick Chubb is the best runner in the NFL.

793
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: He thinks, just the best pure runner. And Nick Chubb

794
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: is on my list two of like guys who could

795
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: be their team MVB probably was last year and he

796
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: can be again. Um, And I thought about it and

797
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: I said, and I thought, you know, just in terms

798
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: of pure running, I don't think that's a crazy jake,

799
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: but I actually would take Mixing. I mix Joe Mixing

800
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: maybe just because he's got a little more flare to it.

801
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: And that's and I'm and I'm falling for the style.

802
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: But man, in terms of the power making you miss

803
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: vision everything, their line stinks. You watch him and he's

804
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: he's it. I mean, he's got it all. He's he

805
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: probably is my single favorite running back to watch, just

806
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: in terms of his playing style right now, like he

807
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: is that electric. Well, I mean I think Nick Chubb

808
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: has done more from a tackle breaking angle, He's been better,

809
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: been a better player, But mix and I just got

810
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: that flare and that and maybe can be even better. Right,

811
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't take anything away from mixing and mixing to

812
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: your point, Dan has thrived in hideous conditions. And I've

813
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: already told you that I believe Zach Taylor will be

814
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: Coach of the year fodder. So that let goes arm

815
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: in arm with it. I think you got number one.

816
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: If you want to keep got a quarterback that they

817
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: have no training camp, you better focus that offense around

818
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: the ground game for the fur seven eight weeks of

819
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: the year. And that's gonna be true of a bunch

820
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: of teams. But they fit the bill for mixing to

821
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: have a huge workload out the gate. Now this was

822
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: was it on the Friday Show where you he did

823
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: Cessler did one of my favorite Sessler moves where you

824
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: mail the prediction that and he had a take that

825
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: that turned a hundred and eighty degrees out of the

826
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: blue explanation And it was basically like za Zach Taylor

827
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: suddenly went from like who is this guy? Has he

828
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 1: done anything. He's totally nondescript to Zach Taylor is gonna

829
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: be the man. And then you know what, I don't

830
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: know what change of just one show to the next. No, no, no,

831
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: But it wasn't one show. Um. I called him a

832
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: question mark that we just didn't know what he was.

833
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: But then I started to look look at it. Let's

834
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: just try to look at it from a completely different angle.

835
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: And what if some of our leaders were to be

836
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: flexible and they're thinking, you know, adopt new stances based

837
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: on new information and new intuition like that, that's a

838
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: good answer, and your Sessler flip it's called that. You know,

839
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm known for that. I mean that's but it's like

840
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: I'll be wrong with the first prediction, and I'll be

841
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: wrong with the second too. You'll be you're you'll be

842
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: good in well, in some ways, you'd be um good

843
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: in politics because you are able to change your message

844
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,919
Speaker 1: slipper in a subtle but completely different way. That kind

845
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: of will cover you both ways. But then you'll have

846
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: an eagle eide like political correspondent like Greg Rosenthal that

847
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: will then point out, oh, you tweeted this in March

848
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: and now you're saying this. I don't need that and

849
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: I don't need the background check. All right, how about

850
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: another one? Greg? Alright, let's go uh in defense? I

851
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: know defense, Alright, let's go on. Derwin James, Derwyn Derwin

852
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: James is um people that know football better and really

853
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: watch the you know, the tape at safety because you

854
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: can't really watch safeties on TV. It's it's hard, I mean,

855
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: but just watching the splash plays that he makes and

856
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: the awe that he inspires in the people that I

857
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: respect the most in terms of his football abilities is

858
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: next level. It's as much as almost any defensive player

859
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: in the league right now. I feel like, outside of

860
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: maybe some pass rushers, like in terms of what he

861
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: can do physically and mentally, and that he is the

862
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: key to their team, and that he came in last

863
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: year off off the injury, wasn't quite himself for a

864
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: few weeks. Definitely helped out. But this is different this.

865
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: You know, he knows this system, He's been in it

866
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: now for a few years, and he could have a

867
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: monster year. You know. I thought Joey Bosa was the

868
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: other guy that jumped out to me. It was between

869
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: James and Bosa, and I think Bosa entering what is

870
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 1: this his third or fourth year? Fourth year? Now? Yeah, uh,

871
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: he's you know obviously now kind of proven that he

872
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 1: is one of the great pass rushers in the league.

873
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: But with the supporting talent around him, maybe has one

874
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: of the years that we've been expecting where years go

875
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: by fast. By the way, sorry, that completely exhausting holdout

876
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: to begin his career. It feels like it was about

877
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: a million years ago now. But he he's always He's

878
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: on that short list. Your boy Mark Miles Garrett's another

879
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: one like who could finally give the sack record. It's

880
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: dignity back. After what Michael stray Hand did on that

881
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: meadow Lands field with Brett Farve disgracefully sliding at his feet,

882
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: stealing Mark Gastineau's glory from him in a completely needless

883
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: and non professional way, It's time for someone to give

884
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: the sack record. It's dignity back. And Joey Bose, I think,

885
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: is a guy that could potentially do it. When's the

886
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: last time, well, I remember the uh the cult safety

887
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,479
Speaker 1: years back, Bob Sanders. Yeah, he won the Defensive Player

888
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: of the Year, I believe, But we're talking team m

889
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: V p. But to get team m v P uh

890
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: and be a defensive player have to be very special,

891
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: I think, and uh James certainly qualifies as that. Um,

892
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: Greg Mark, you got one, Well, I actually came up

893
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 1: with nine, but I'm gonna give you one that came

894
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: into my mind like at the end, um, because I

895
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: could see that. You know, football is storytelling things happened

896
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: where a player has been disgraced and they go into

897
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: the shadows and then um, they emerged to do something

898
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: that someone did to them. And this player was I

899
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: thought embarrassed last year, lost their starting job and as it,

900
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: lost their roster spot in the off season. And that

901
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: is Marcus Mariota. Now do I believe in Marcus Mariota

902
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: as um as an as a a like a long

903
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: time starting QB? No? But you know, well, hold on,

904
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: you know who didn't you know who didn't agree? Let

905
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: someone was who was a starting QB A couple of

906
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: years ago, Ryan Tannehill stock low, No one thought a

907
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: thing about him, boring Dolphins quarterback, very visible ceiling goes

908
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. The chemistry is different, the scene is different.

909
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill suddenly has a massive extension and a playoff

910
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: run that knocked out Tom Brady off the Patriots. So

911
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm just saying weirder things have happened in the NFL

912
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: than Marcus Mariotta to go to Las Vegas. They have

913
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: four primetime games and many of them are earlier in

914
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: the year. If they struggle and Derek Carr is struggling,

915
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: they gave him nine million dollars. Marcus Mariota, I could

916
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: see a switch. That's all you need is a switch,

917
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: and then the team to ride high and suddenly the

918
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: story coming out of his you know what, we know.

919
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: We came in in week six. He didn't play the

920
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: whole year. He wasn't Josh Jacobs in terms of week

921
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: to week consistently, but he provided us spark. Marcus Mariota

922
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: and him and Growden just seemed to click together. Bang.

923
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: I could see it. I mean that sound you here

924
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,399
Speaker 1: is is all the entire car family now blocking Mark

925
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: on Twitter. But it's not an anti card thing. But

926
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: I do think that that's one area where I could

927
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 1: see a starter switch happening if things don't get off

928
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: to a quick start. But what are we I mean,

929
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: this podcast and Marcus Mariotta, it never ends what have

930
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: we seen in that guy's career that he's gonna all

931
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: of a sudden take over a team. And then but

932
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: I would ask you that about it's just because one

933
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: other to be his teammate, Ryan Tannehill, did it? Like

934
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: what does that matter there? I think it's likely, but

935
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: is it? But if you're going to write these articles,

936
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: do you want to just put the likely person or

937
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: do you want to like, wait a minute, what and

938
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: then like, what's the reasoning behind this? I'm just saying

939
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: that every year there's someone two the two thousand eleven

940
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: colts ended up on mark favorite teams. But ye football

941
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: season has one or two characters that were totally counted

942
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: out that like everyone quarterbacks do backup quarterbacks, especially veteran

943
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: types like him. That does happen almost every year. There's

944
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: one guy who catches a little fire and ends up

945
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: being like a team m v P out of nowhere.

946
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: That's fair, right, I'm not saying he's Darryl Lamonica. Like,

947
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, we had a similar conversation last week and

948
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: I asked you, oh, yeah, that's when we did the

949
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: Raiders uh wheel of teams, And I asked you how

950
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: many games he would start, and you said he would

951
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: start like a couple of games at the very end

952
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: of the season because the Raiders fell out of contention.

953
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: How are you gonna win team like that? More information,

954
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: more intuition, grinding NonStop and so what I felt then,

955
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: And I've you know, I've received more critical information from

956
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 1: not only my sources, but um, you know, the intuitions

957
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: up in the sky. And my answer will change and evolved,

958
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: like I don't need to be one of these like

959
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: talk radio guys that like sticks to something for two

960
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: years and looks like a creaky dinosaur. That right, this

961
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: is the way to do it. I've always I've always

962
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: given you that credit market. This is I'm throwing it

963
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: out there. Like you make predictions in bulk. Your your

964
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: predictions in bulk guy, and sometimes the even the prediction

965
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: will shift in tone or direction over the course of

966
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: a couple of shows I don't like. But then at

967
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: the end of like the season, and you're saying, what

968
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: did I get right? If you made a thousand predictions.

969
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: Now we all make predictions in bulk. I am not.

970
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: It's not exclusively attached to me. I make. What I

971
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: make is specific um predictions and many of them seem

972
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: utterly looney. Others hit like a dart right into the

973
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: bull's eye at the little hole in the middle of

974
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: the dart board, and then you have to sit on

975
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: that and deal with it. Thanks for your explanation about

976
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 1: bulls eye. I appreciate you had nine names listed down

977
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: and you went for the one that you thought would

978
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: would be the spiciest for this podcast. That's good podcasting.

979
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: There you go. This guy gets it. He's been around

980
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 1: the box I want. We haven't really hit the NFC

981
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: too hard, so I haven't gotten this car yet. And

982
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: this is subject to change when you see the written copy.

983
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: But I'll I'll go with Calvin Ridley Over on the

984
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: on the Atlanta Falcon side of things, they have an

985
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: interesting depth chart set up there. You have Matt Ryan,

986
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: who we love, or like Todd Gurley, who we I

987
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe like Uh, Julio Jones is still Julio

988
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:04,919
Speaker 1: Jones even though he's getting up there a little bit.

989
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: Who else is there, greg beyond uh Jones and Ridley

990
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: that's gonna be taking targets away UH from those two

991
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: top dogs. To know if Julio Jones is Julio Jones

992
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: and his lower half stays healthy and all that, he's

993
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: gonna command the top defensive coverage guy. And then if

994
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of other big name targets from

995
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan to be cycling through, Calvin Ridley has a

996
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: chance to really eat this season and maybe even put up,

997
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, an all pro type season. I think he's

998
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: always had it in him. I think he's entering year three,

999
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: so it's time to fly now. And I'll throw Ridley

1000
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: out there. Even though Ryan and Jones and even Todd

1001
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: Gurley maybe stand out is if you went to Vegas,

1002
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: who would be higher up? If you're talking about a

1003
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: little bit of a dark horse, how about Ridley having

1004
00:52:54,480 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: a all pro type let's say ten him. I love it.

1005
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 1: I um. I did a series last week, but there's

1006
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: so so many little series two parter which was just

1007
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: like kind of looking at like key homegrown player. No,

1008
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying between us all, you know, we're just

1009
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: throwing these things into the ether, like a key homegrown

1010
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: guy on a rookie contract for each team cut kind

1011
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 1: of like making the leap candidates, but just like key

1012
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: guys who would really helped their season if this guy

1013
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 1: stepped up and Ridley was that guy. And the numbers

1014
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: he had in that time between Snow getting traded and

1015
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: then Ridley getting hurt, uh were like, you know, number

1016
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: one receiver type numbers. They really were. Like he had

1017
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: a monster I think it was five or six weeks there. Uh,

1018
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: and he's awesome after the catch, Like the two of

1019
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: them could be co number ones, and you could see

1020
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: them kind of being behind in some games and and

1021
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: putting up big numbers. I like, they have big plans

1022
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: for Hayden Hurst, but that's sort of a tv D.

1023
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: I mean that you don't just don't book that for

1024
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: automatic deection. Right, I'm gonna throw out. I was just

1025
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: want to hit up Mark, what about Matt Job? Then

1026
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 1: we got Mariota in the mix here. Well, I don't

1027
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 1: think Mariota and Matt Shob are equivalents. That is, you

1028
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 1: know that this gonna be the year that Kirk ben

1029
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,439
Speaker 1: Kirk knock Job out of that job. I mean, Job

1030
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: clearly has like a stack of polaroid photos that indict

1031
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 1: various members of the Falcons organization for activities we don't

1032
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 1: want to discuss. I don't know what how else is

1033
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: he still there? Fair enough? What was that I was

1034
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: just gonna throw out one one name here for a

1035
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: team MVP that actually think would be a dark Horse

1036
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: League MVP, which I probably was my pick for dark

1037
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: Horse League MVP last year. Alvin Kamara. People forget about,

1038
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: you know, people sleeping on Alvin Camara playing at a

1039
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: year ago. And he's done it. He's done it at

1040
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: the NFL level. I've seen it, and he can do

1041
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: it again. And he's got a great offensive line and

1042
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: a great team around him to just go crazy. There's

1043
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: your Remind me who was the best player on the

1044
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: field in the Saints playoff law you know what, Kirk

1045
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: Cunny unplugged. Maybe Taysom Hill is the only choice for

1046
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: any accolades in New Orleans. Some Hill could wind up

1047
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: starting games. You never know. Well, he had about two

1048
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: and less touches than Alvin Kamara last year, even with

1049
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: Camara hurt. So I'm going with the guy who's going

1050
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: to get the ball. He's like he's He has replaced

1051
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan on my uh Anti All Star team of

1052
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: fantasy guys that let me down, and I'll never forgive

1053
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: them because I eventually left a coin between Alvin Kamara

1054
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,959
Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey last year with the number three pig

1055
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: under the season. I was so upset that, Yeah, I

1056
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: would have been wrong about that too, I said. I

1057
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: said some dismissive comments comparing McCaffrey and Camara like after

1058
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: about one year of their career, which I regret and

1059
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: I was I was wrong. This McCaffrey guy, he's pretty good,

1060
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean Camara. Doesn't mean Camara can't have

1061
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: a comeback awesome year. Now, I'm with you. I think

1062
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: he definitely makes sense, right because that are we? So

1063
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: you're just pointing to the ankle and knee issues. Is

1064
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: that the only reason why he was the way he

1065
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,760
Speaker 1: was last year? I don't know, but he wasn't the same.

1066
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: He didn't have that same pop, and he talked about

1067
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: it and maybe maybe that's going to be an issue

1068
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,439
Speaker 1: for him again. I don't know, but we we've seen

1069
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: it from and in that offense with Breeze getting a

1070
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: little you know, I just think he has the potential

1071
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: to put up like yards All right, anything else? Mark,

1072
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: you have one more you want throughout? Are you all set?

1073
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: I would give you two quick names with no explanation.

1074
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: Eagles Miles Sanders Redskins Terry McLaurin, why not. I mean

1075
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: Terry Terry mclauren could have been their m v P

1076
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: last run offense. I think he was. But I think

1077
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: he's a legit, like a legit um, a wide receiver

1078
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: that will think very highly up for years to come

1079
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: like those. Alright, check it out on NFL dot com

1080

1086
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: is our our fifth time spinning the wheel this summer

1087
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: and last week, and we had a nice deep dive

1088
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: there with Vic Tafer. By the way, big apologies to

1089
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: vict Tafer of the who is a man you don't

1090
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: want to get on the wrong side of, And yet

1091
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: we went through the entire segment calling him Victor fur, which,

1092
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: based on the spelling of his name t a f

1093
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: you are we wrongly inferred nailed it that the pronunciation

1094
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: of the name was to for, But it is in

1095
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: fact as was corrected by Vic himself in a private

1096
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: message after the show. Get it right or pay the price,

1097
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: pay for Ricky. Spin the wheel. Oh it's spinning. It's spinning.

1098
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: It's spinning, Tom. I want the Jets. Oh the raven Wow.

1099
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: Oh Greg. Greg has got to stay seated for a while.

1100
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: After that one landed. The defending A North champion Baltimore

1101
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: Ravens are the latest Wheel of teams selection, which means

1102
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: on Wednesday's show we will do a deep dive on

1103
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: the reigning m v P and the rest of his

1104
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: merry gang of Crusaders. We started thinking of who who

1105
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna have on it. Actually they deserve it there

1106
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: like probably the most you know, the best regular season team,

1107
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: the most interesting team. I don't know if they've had

1108
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: that level of coverage on our show this offseason, so

1109
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: they well do some extra Ravens talk, all right, So

1110
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: we'll huddle up after the Ravens that we flew to consistently.

1111
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: But the choice I can't remember, we haven't talked that

1112
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: much Ravens considering they're probably you know that we enacted

1113
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens nest and then immediately they became a historically

1114
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: dominant team at least until the playoffs began. So whoever

1115
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: we nominate, whatever team we nominate, to get deep, deeply

1116
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: entrenched with three entire year, then come up with the

1117
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: name that might mean very good things for that team.

1118
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the organic fish tank is going to be

1119
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: flying this year. Well, they overachieved last year quite a bit,

1120
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, winning five games people thought they might not

1121
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: win any That's right. The Ravens Nest was two years ago,

1122
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: but that team was also a quality team that made

1123
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So well, it's all about us and what

1124
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: we decided to promote, and it has um, you know,

1125
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: psychic reverb around the league. Obviously, this is legit, this

1126
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: is factual. I've always thought the same thing. Mark, all right,

1127
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: we'll be back on Wednesday with another show, so make

1128
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: sure once again from three different time zones. Ricky, can

1129
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: you get the Guinness Book of World Records on the

1130
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: horn after this and find out if that's ever happened

1131
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: a professional football sports podcast? Yeah, I got them on

1132
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 1: speed dial, so it's definitely a category they had in place,

1133
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, back when I would read those Guinness books

1134
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: back in the eighties podcast at you know, like the

1135
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: fat paperbacks they still yeah out. Okay, I don't know

1136
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,919
Speaker 1: who's on the horn there. If you call as someone

1137
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: answering immediately, it doesn't feel like a hotline per se.

1138
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: But well, our producer Eric would never lie to me

1139
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: to get out of doing work. So when she says

1140
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: they're on her speed dial, I just assume she's telling

1141
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: me the truth. Yes, and I'm gonna check in. How

1142
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: about this. I'm gonna make a note of it and

1143
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: check back with you on Wednesday show. Put your feet

1144
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: to the fire on this one. The time of me

1145
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 1: asking you to do things and then you just helping.

1146
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: I forget and then me forgetting and you winning is over. Okay,

1147
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:26,919
Speaker 1: that was like all the time. Everything is over from

1148
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the past, starting now, all right. Dan had to signing
