1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: Me Around the NFL Podcast Dominates at Cornhole. Welcome back 2 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My 3 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: name is Dan Hansis, and I am joined by a 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: room filled with some heroes, Colleen Wolf, Christopher Wesling, and 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: Greg Rostal. What is up? Boys and girls? Hey Da? 6 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: Who jumped West's? Hey? Dan with a high? Whoa West? 7 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: Your thoughts that doesn't confront me? What do you think 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: about the fact that the entire group dominates at cornhole? 9 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: Because I don't really know if that's really true. I've 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: seen that is true. I almost hit myself playing. That's 11 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: pretty much impossible. Colleen has a lot of fun to 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: hang out with. She's very, you know, outgoing and funny 13 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: and smart and knowledgeable and football awful. I mean, it's 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: almost like you're trying to be bad when don't you play. 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: I know it's really upsetting, but I can testify that 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: she's good at beer poem. I am good at that. 17 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: You would think there was a college and skills would 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: match up. But I think she has a lot more 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: experience in one over. If I practice more at corn 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: I think I could be good. He could probably beat J. J. 21 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: Watt within a couple of weeks. Yeah, he was not 22 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: that good at har Knocks by the way. Uh so 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: you saw hard Knocks West, I saw his form. It 24 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: was all over the place. It was hurt tea as 25 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: the sports junkies would say, yeah, J J. Watt, it's 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: bad form. And not to turn this into the cornhole podcast, 27 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: but I also will mention that, as you know, for 28 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: Jack's birthday party, I purchased these American flag cornhole boards. 29 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: But when I called around to the different sporting goods 30 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: stores and said cornhole, I think people thought I was 31 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: prank calling them because they don't call it that around here. 32 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: They call bean bag toss. That's pathetic. L A l 33 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: A runs on battery. And then I went to this 34 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: is the last summer I was in Texas, my wife's 35 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: my family is from there, and I was driving around 36 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: looking for boards and when I said, do you have cornhole? 37 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: They were like, what are you talking about, Yankee? They 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: didn't know what corn hoole was either. Well, it it 39 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: emanated from the Midwest, and you know it's still trying 40 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: to reach these outer reaches of America. You have the 41 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: history of it, right, the full history. Well, it started 42 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. If you've accomplished nothing at the NFL. You've 43 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: at least started spreading the word about Cornhole. You're basically 44 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: an evangelist, not just locally but now nationally. People listening 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: to this kids all over the country are using the 46 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: spin because of Wes. You've heard of Johnny apple Seed. 47 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: I'm Johnny corn Seed, John Cornfeed. Um. By the way, 48 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: we got a great show to then, We've got a 49 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: lot to get to. I do want to right away 50 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: send out the teaser. Fantasy drafts are starting up. Hopefully 51 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: you haven't had yours yet, because next week on the 52 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast is our second annual Fantasy Spectacular, 53 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: perhaps first because it's a Fantasy Spectacular week. Well, we'll 54 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: have all three shows will have segments dedicated to it 55 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: with Chris Westling, Greg Rose, with all really the founders 56 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: when you think about it, of Rhodo World, which is 57 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: really the number one fantasy side. And I know that 58 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: Greg didn't like that. I said west first, that was 59 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: an accellent Gregg made sure I knew before the show 60 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: he actually did. He was the first real football fantasy 61 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: right on the West. Matthew Polliott really started the whole thing, though, 62 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: Matthew Barry was there for a minute. He was you know, 63 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: he was a writer for Crocodile Dundee Matthew Berry. Yeah, yeah, 64 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: the second one, the one, who wait, this is a knife? 65 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: The second one. That's not it? Now that was the 66 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: first one, wasn't it? That aren't a knife? Oh yeah, 67 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: you're right, that is the first one. So yes, Next 68 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: week three shows dedicated fantasy segments. If you don't like fantasy, 69 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: you're still gonna like it because it's still football talk. 70 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: But it's gonna have that tange. Mark Sessor will also 71 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: be here. Greg's already fired up. We were just looking 72 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: at average draft position. Yeah, we were doing this. Gregg 73 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: was moved to send out an email and chastise America. Well, 74 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: Owen Daniels ranked insanely high for a guy that can't move. 75 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: It's like the entire country, Fantasy football Nation has experienced 76 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: the collective seizure. But that's the kind of analysis he'll 77 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: get next week. People are drafting No Daniels over Jordan Cameron, 78 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: which makes no sense. What still Yeah, well that's just 79 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: the teaser of what you're gonna get. We have a 80 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: lot to get to the show. We have preseason kicked off, 81 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: you know in earnest on Thursday. We had some games. 82 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: What we have four games yesterday, five six, six games. Um, 83 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: I have a six. I have a sick boy at home, 84 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: so I was a little my hands are full, but 85 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 1: I did catch up great reading all around the website, 86 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: and we'll get to those preseason games. We'll also talk about, um, 87 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: maybe I know the team of around the NFL. We've 88 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: talked about some favorites, but maybe some under the radar teams. 89 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: Will get to that a little later in the show, 90 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: and then we'll hit the mail bag. There is a 91 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: new written mail bag on around the NFL or on 92 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: nfl dot com slash Dan's latest hot piece that you 93 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: should read and perhaps go to management levels to tell 94 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: them about dan Um. That will be up a little 95 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: later today or we'll be up by the time you 96 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: hear this, So check that out and we'll and we'll 97 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: sho are some more questions and go around the horn 98 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: here hit the mailbag, which is always fun. But before 99 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: any of that, let's start and go through the preseason 100 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: games and the big big happenings around uh the NFL yesterday, 101 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: and we'll start with Washington, where you know, I know 102 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: half of America at least how to be tuned in 103 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: Brown's Redskins Week one preseason, so you probably already know 104 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: what I'm about to talk about. The big injury Niles Paul, 105 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: the tight end who just earlier this week, head coach 106 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: Ja Gruden had anointed as kind of the starter ahead 107 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: of Jordan Reed, which turns some heads. That's not gonna 108 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: happen now. Now is Paul out for the season after 109 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: suffering a ankle fracture dislocation, which you know I did 110 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: my gross injury Power rankings last week and that that 111 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: could be on the list because that's pretty gross, horrible injury. 112 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: Out for the year is Paul Um. He tweeted, life 113 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: can be cruel sometimes. Thank you for thank you for 114 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: all your well wishes and prayers. So a seen Redskins win. 115 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: Who cares? Now it's Paul Dunn West He that it's 116 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: a sad story. It was a little bit poignant. The 117 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: guy put on twenty seven pounds in the off season, 118 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: worked his butt off. He's a converted wide receiver to 119 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: become an all around tight end up to two fifty 120 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: two pounds um. They were counting on him to start 121 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: and when when the injury happened, Fullback Darryl Young, who 122 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: is one of his good friends on the team, came 123 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: over and and Niles Paul looked at him and said, 124 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: d Y, this was supposed to be my year. He 125 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: started crying. Just a really poignant moment from a guy 126 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: who's worked really hard and had been voted one of 127 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: the team captains. Really well like guy. I learned more 128 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: after this injury. Just from the reporters, you could tell 129 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: we're big, big fans of him. They said, if this 130 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, this is the last guy that you would 131 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: want this to happen to. Uh, if you wanted to 132 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: be positive about it. He did sign a three year 133 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: contract in March, so it's a better time to say. 134 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: At least he got that contract before this happened. And 135 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: I immediately started thinking about what they're gonna do at 136 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: tight end because Jordan Reid's got a hamstring injury right now, 137 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: He's pretty much always hurt. Logan Paulson has a toe 138 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: injury that might require surgery. Maybe they give Chris Cooley 139 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: a call. Oh, I like that. I know. It's such 140 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: a shame too, because Jake Gruden just came out and 141 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: said that he's the most complete tight end on the roster. 142 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: And as you said, those are the two other options 143 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: right now. I never bought that he was gonna have 144 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: a bigger rule in the passing game than Jordan Read, 145 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: but he's a much better pass blocker and run blocker. 146 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: I I I don't believe that Chris Cooley can move 147 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: well enough to play tight end in the NFL. I don't, 148 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: but the Redskins left open the possibility before this even happened. 149 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: Earlier this week, Ja Gurden was asked about it and 150 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: he said, right now, we're gonna see about Paulson and 151 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: how these other injuries go. And you know, he basically said, 152 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: we'll think about it. And so that made me think 153 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: at least they might give him a chance. And the 154 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: other takeaway we should hit from this game, uh the 155 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: r G three. Let's check in with RG three. Both 156 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: Manzel and RG three played obviously in this game. Robert 157 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: griffrom the third finish the night four of the passing 158 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: for thirty six yards. That just four and a half 159 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: yards per attempt, so nothing flashy from argent yards per 160 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: temp figure would have looked a lot better if if 161 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: PR Garston just didn't flat out drop. It was a 162 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: perfectly thrown deep It was beautiful. It would have been 163 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: it probably would have been a six yard touchdown. And 164 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: there were two plays on the night that reminded you, 165 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: oh my god, r G three has a hose. I 166 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: mean he had another play where he got creamed by 167 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: Paul Krueger and completed it for about a fifteen yard 168 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: passed down the field and it showed off his arm. 169 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: Then you also saw him get hit really hard three 170 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: separate times in a small series of events, so that 171 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: that's kind of the good and the bad of rg. 172 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: He also scrambled for that first down too, so you 173 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: saw when the opportunity presented itself he would run for 174 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: the first down there. I think that was a third 175 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: and two situation. And also on that pass to Pierre 176 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: Garson when he dropped it, man, did Justin Gilbert get burned? Yeah? Yeah, 177 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: Gilbert had a bad night overall. I didn't think r 178 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: G three's arm is in question. I think he has 179 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: to stop being the worst decision maker in football. He 180 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: has to stop getting hit hard. I mean, well, that's 181 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: locker room decisions. For that to happen three times in 182 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: a quarter and a half. That's supposed to be the 183 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: big you know, stress of r G three in the offseason, 184 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: don't get hit as much, and he got you got 185 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: guys still can't do a baseball slide. Manzella also played 186 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: in this game on that well Manzel. He came on 187 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: for Josh McCown who, by the way, McCown is West 188 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: his boy five for five thirty three yards on a touchdown, 189 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: also had uh one of the all time great Greg 190 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: Rosenthal fired up moments in the newsroom like yeah, boy 191 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: to Mark. It was Mark, Mark was fired up. The 192 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: two of them were having the little I kind of 193 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: came up from behind, you know, McCown scrambling around, he 194 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: throws a touch that it might have been third down, 195 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: and you know as the preseason, and basically I gave 196 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: him the same sort of you know, shake from behind 197 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: the shoulders and we're dancing around as it just kind 198 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: of like he did for me when Tom Brady, I mean, 199 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: when Malcolm Butler had that interception at the Super Bowl. 200 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: One of these was the preseason when I don't want 201 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: to be a rain cloud here, but Washington's defense was awful. 202 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: Whatever I just as Mark said in response, he said 203 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: this was my super Bowl, so he was gonna that's funny. 204 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: And let's not two things. First of all, Mark's piece 205 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: on Manzell's dripping with hope, he's still all the way in. Second, 206 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: well let's try let's I know Greg, it's it's one 207 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: of the great moments of your Patriots fandom. But that 208 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: really was Wes and Gregg turning into our West and 209 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: Mark turning into Patriots fanboys at the Super Bowl and 210 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: jumping for joy was around podcast. This is this is 211 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: talk about it right Space is so disgusted right now 212 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: as he says that's ridiculous that they like football, that 213 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: you might as well had silver and blue pom poms. 214 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: This is where that your Jets fandom is coming. And 215 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm a professional professionalism Dan hands him Fitzgerald. I was 216 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: watching the game and being like, Wow, what a play. 217 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: That was really interesting, and they're like, yeah, they did it. 218 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: Way to go Patriots. When Larry Fitzgerald split the Steelers 219 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: defense to score that touchdown in the Super Bowl six 220 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: years ago, I stood up in the press box because 221 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: I couldn't contain my excitement and I said, holy you 222 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: know what, and everyone around me looked at me like 223 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: I was a jerk because I like I was a 224 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: fan of football. That's who you're being now. By the way, 225 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: I'm okay with you doing it. Greg. Let me make 226 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: that clear. It was Western? How does that? How does that? 227 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: Doesn't make any sense to me? That was bad. Also, 228 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: one last important thing about this game. We are we 229 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: have to watch bad quarterbacks all the time in the NFL. 230 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins should be starting for somebody. Go get him, 231 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, go get Kirk Cousins. Any Way, I watched 232 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: every Man's I'll snap, hoping to have some sort of takeaway. 233 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: There was nothing to really say. He didn't do anything 234 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: too bad, he didn't do anything great. It was okay. 235 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: It looks like moving on to another game. The Detroit 236 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: Lions took care of my Jets quite easily on Thursday. 237 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: But the big takeaway was who is the fantasy darling 238 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: that everyone in the NFL uh is talking about it 239 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: as a mere Abdullah uh? New York Jets coach Todd Bowls. 240 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: After Abdullah tore up the Jets on UH sixty seven 241 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: yards on just seven and carries, including a really nice 242 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: forty five yard touchdown run, Bolls had this to say 243 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: he looked like he did in college. Uh. Via the 244 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: Detroit News this who said he's quick as a cat, 245 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: He's about as quick as Yeah, Barry Sanders. I'm not 246 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: saying is Barry, but he's a good running back. Todd Bowles, 247 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: who's a respected defensive mind, probably doesn't hand out compliments 248 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: like that often. Amer Abdulla hype train is rolling, it 249 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: should be rolling. And Kevin Patrick wrote that article on 250 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles comparing him to Barry saying, and you can 251 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: tell that Patra is a beaten down lines fan because 252 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: he would not allow the comparison. He just said, amer 253 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: Abdula is a Miabdula. When I watched amer Abdula in 254 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: in July. In mid July, Barry Sanders entered my mind 255 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: for his cutting ability and Odell Beckham, I'm not saying 256 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: he is those guys, but he has. You don't see 257 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: running backs who have the ability to pick up speed 258 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: when they cut, and a mir Abdulah looks like that. Yeah. 259 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: And when we hear Terrell Austin say that the defense 260 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: when they tried to tackle him was basically just grasping 261 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: for air, that was so true. When you watched Chris 262 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: Westling had a tweet about about Abdul, as you can 263 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: see here, excited for Lions offense that they're studying up 264 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: on a mir Abdullah this afternoon seems to pick up 265 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: speed when he makes a cut. Oh look at prediction. 266 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: This guy's been in the stable of boys for a 267 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: month already. Alright, west saying I invented the hype train 268 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: for Abdul? Is that what you're saying was? I think 269 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people who watch college football probably have 270 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: liked him a lot longer, but I did. I was 271 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: on Abdul a while ago. Barry Sanders would have scored 272 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: a touchdown on that fort. That's true. That's what I'm saying. 273 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: He's not there one thing that he misses, but his 274 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: his movement. I mean he's shaped. I don't know what 275 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: defender it was. I I wish Calvin Pryor on the 276 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: one in the middle. Por. I mean he took him 277 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: out of his shoes. It was great, and anybody in 278 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: the stable. No, he's got his own already. Really big news. Wow, 279 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: room break, Has that ever happened? Before you get a room? 280 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: The stable boy is based on just hype? Oh, Randy 281 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: Moss had the penhouse before his rookie year. Al Right, 282 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: the way the Jets season is also breaking, it's not well. 283 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: I don't care. They might be more boring to watch 284 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: than the Chief. Can I just tell you something. First 285 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: of all, give the Jets at a little break. They're 286 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what to do. Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn't 287 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: have a lot of preparation time for that game. The 288 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: offense wasn't gonna move. But um, you know, nothing looks 289 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: good right now. Brian Fitzpatrick looks like he put on 290 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: a couple of pounds. Wasn't expecting to play. You get 291 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: to some of those Manhattan restaurants a little Italian. I disagree. 292 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: I thought his body looked great. Alright, moving on to 293 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: the throne of sleeves the Patriots, who don't have Tom 294 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: Brady for the first four games. This thing current things 295 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: currently stand, but in the preseason he could play. Tom 296 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: played a little bit. But the real story coming out 297 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: of this game a eleven lost to the Packers for 298 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots was Jimmy Garoppolo, who took seven sacks average 299 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: just over the Gabbard zone at five point three yards 300 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: of attempt and had trouble moving the offense. After the game, 301 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: Mr nice guy Jimmy said, I've got a long way 302 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: to go. Obviously, eleven points is not by any means 303 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: good enough. There's room for improvement. Nine possessions greg for 304 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Fifty five yard Jonas great touchdown was really 305 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: the only big play took the game for them. Took 306 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: a ton of sacks. Best throw was probably the first 307 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: throw of the night, a nice out route. I think 308 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: if you look at the stats, it looks worse than 309 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: it really was. I totally disagree. What do you think 310 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: I put? I put up the stat of of Jimmy 311 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: Garoppolo's nine possessions on Twitter, and Patriots fans swarmed to 312 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: his defense. He held the ball too long on his 313 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: seven sacks, and he under threw Josh Boyce several times. 314 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: Look at this though, if the official doesn't get in 315 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: the way, We're watching some clips here for anyone that 316 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: can watch in video. You know, the official gets in 317 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: the way. That was a nice deep ball. The next 318 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: a couple of plays after that, he throws a beautiful 319 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: deep ball where but Boys doesn't even go. Didn't help 320 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: him out of Boys played terrible but Garoppolo. I mean 321 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: he was a checkdown machine. Yeah, he didn't show much. 322 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: They also didn't have any of their starting offensive linemen 323 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: in the starting wide receivers, and so the whole thing 324 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: in the preseason. It's always a little tricky for me. 325 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: He looks really skittish in the pocket, so any time 326 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: that any defenders were coming towards him, he just looked 327 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: like he was panicking and he was lost. I'm not 328 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: going to get to as a Jets fan will get 329 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: too excited about Garoppolo having no chance if he's gonna 330 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: play games here. But you know, again a reminder that 331 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo has no experience and there's a chance this 332 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: season starting he and he plays multiple games and he's terrible, 333 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: and everybody like, oh, don't worry about the Patriots will 334 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: go four and over three and one. It could go 335 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: poorly because Jimmy Garoppolo might not be ready. People gotta 336 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: think about that. Well, not to mention they don't have 337 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: a running back. Their number one cornerback played about two 338 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: hundred snaps last year. That's Malcolm Butler. I mean, they 339 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: have a lot of things on paper that you that 340 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: you worry about two other quick takeaways from this game. 341 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: The the official that got run over there. That was 342 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: one of his first plays as an NFL official. On Hockulu. 343 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: That's Hoculus. That job by Shun Hockley Hockeley in a 344 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: big spot. You gotta earn that name, hoculated a lot 345 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: of pressure. Take off that name. Uh. And then the 346 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: other thing that deserve that oculated name. And then the 347 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: other Uh. My other treat watching it last night after 348 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: take was Kevin Harland. The announcers just delight of saying 349 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: Andy Malumbo's name. He just would go Malumbo just over 350 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: and over. He just started screaming out Malumbo as if 351 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: no one was watching at home. Those were some hot 352 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: takes right there. Uh, scorching Lumbo Lumbo. He just kept 353 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: saying it because it was fun to say. This from 354 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: the research department. Tom Brady was sacked seven times in 355 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: his last seven regular season games combined in It's a 356 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: new world on the throne of right now. This is 357 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: the first time you've changed at the throne of sleeves. Uh, well, listen, 358 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: it's you know, I don't hear any of our music 359 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: that we usually probably jah, maybe we are some of 360 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: our Twitter followers came up with that thrown asleeves. I 361 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: think they were talking about the Jet I don't. I 362 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: don't think so. I think it was almost certainly about 363 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: the Patriots. All right, moving forward, So let's talk about 364 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: the rest of the preseason, Action West, is there anything 365 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: that you wanted to hit uh, from the rest of 366 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: the preseason of what you saw, what you read, I 367 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: would say out of the games I watched, Melvin Gordon 368 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: was the other thing that stood out to me. The 369 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: Charger's first round running back. And you know, my friend 370 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: the spice Rack, who I is my go to source 371 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: for college prospect, ice Rack at the Lost Melvin Gordon 372 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: famously predicted that if he was drafted by the Cowboys, 373 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: would have a two thousand yards season as a rookie. 374 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,719 Speaker 1: I was not impressed at all. Too much stutter to stutter, stepping, 375 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: hesitant to hit the whole. Not impressive. And these were 376 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: the same things that were reportedly dogging him in in 377 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: camp as well. I'm not writing him off, but I 378 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: just wasn't impressed. He's a big guy that doesn't necessarily 379 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: run big. And that's what one of our best draft analyst, 380 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 1: lands Zeero Lane said going into the draft. He reminded 381 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: people of it last night. He's a big guy. He's 382 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: more of a boom and bust guy, not a four 383 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: or five yards at a time guy. Yeah. And for me, 384 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: I was looking at Brandon Cook's last night, and I mean, 385 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: he had such a good preseason last year, and I 386 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: thought his yards after the catch were great, and also 387 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: he was so fast, So I think that this is 388 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: going to be a big preseason for him again making candidate. Yeah. 389 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: I watched some of the Cowboys Chargers game to get 390 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: a little feel of connor Or's boy, Gus Johnson, who 391 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: has a chance to make the Cowboys that might be 392 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: their Week one starter. He actually despite some bad numbers, 393 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: but then he heard his shoulder, so right now, Joseph 394 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: Randalls banged up, Darren McFadden hasn't practice yet, Gus Johnson, 395 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: who apparently they want to play his hurt, Lance Dunbar's hurt. 396 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: I gotta get Cowboys are running back, but they'll be 397 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: fine because the offensive line is so great. That's all 398 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: I hear over and over again. I don't know about that. 399 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: By the way, drunk on their own, this is how 400 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: much NFL owners are stealing money. From paying customers. In 401 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: the preseason, Dustin Vaughan was playing at quarterback with ten 402 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: minutes left in the first quarter for the Cowboys because 403 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: Brandon Weeden was too valuable to keep out there. That's 404 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: a true statement. There is no worse mark. There's no 405 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: worse seller's market than preseason tickets that you have to 406 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: buy to get your regular season season tickets. Those things 407 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: are always floating around. I when I when I was 408 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: a kid, Uh, my dad we would always go to 409 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: Jets preseason games because out of his office there was 410 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,479 Speaker 1: always like, you know, does anybody want these Jets tickets? 411 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get rid of them. My dad 412 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: underground in a coal mine. Keith, All right, that's it 413 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: for the preseason for Thursday, and we'll we'll again. We 414 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: got more games coming up tonight, Friday and tomorrow Saturday, 415 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: so a lot a lot more coming. Let's do a TV. 416 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna hit some news, right, I like that kind 417 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: a potter. All right, let's hit some news. It is 418 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: wide receiving a wide receiver signing season. Everybody's getting signed 419 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: in t Y. Hilton is the latest. He agrees to 420 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: a contract extension with the Indianapolis Colts. NFL media insider 421 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport, whose hair might not be natural, heard about 422 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: that reported it's a five year contract extension worth sixty 423 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: five million, with thirty nine million and guarantees. Ryan Grigson, 424 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: who's known to make a lot of bad decisions, I 425 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't call this one a bad one, would I? Colleen, No, 426 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: not at all. I like that the Colts are locking 427 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: up these core players for Andrew Luck because it's just 428 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: you can tell that they trust in Andrew Luck. Obviously 429 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: they should, but these guys will be able to grow together, 430 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,719 Speaker 1: just like Peyton Manning was able to do when they 431 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: signed Reggie Wayne. It's interesting that he's getting paid in 432 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: the same ballpark though, as Damarius Thomas and as Bryant. 433 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: I think yeah, And I read some of the local 434 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: coverage a lot of money and I agreed with it 435 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: was that, Okay, t Y Hilton, you have been great, 436 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: but you have to live up to this contract. I 437 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: don't feel the same about t Y Hilton's career moving 438 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: forward as they do about Damerius Thomason does Bryant where 439 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: I would be stunned if they weren't one of the 440 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: five or six best receivers receivers in the league. Has 441 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: it always been this easy? Maybe I only know I'm 442 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: tracking contracts a little closer, but like where one guy 443 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: signs and then all these other guys signed basically the 444 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: same contract or something close to it. Has it always 445 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: been that way? Well? I think because of the Calvin 446 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: Johnson outlier. He got paid as a face of the franchise, 447 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: face of the NFL type of contract, and no one 448 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: else ever came close to so they needed someone to 449 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: come along and set the number one receiver market. T 450 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: Y Hilton. It doesn't seem like he should be paid 451 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: like Damerius Thomas and Des Briant, but I believe over 452 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: the first three years of his career, Randy Moss is 453 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: the only one with more games. They also have a 454 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: fun invested in one position, because that's a ton of 455 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: money for Hilton, then the third round pick in monk Reef, 456 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: first round pick in Philip Dorset with a lot of 457 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: money too, and Andre Johnson, even though he's not going 458 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: to be there for long, he's still eating up a 459 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: lot of cap space. That's a lot for one position 460 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: on the team, especially when you have Andrew Luck who's 461 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: gonna make people look better. That's the thing. If you 462 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: put Ty Hilton on every team, is he gonna be 463 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: as good? It's still a great contract Because to answer 464 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: Dan's question, I think the biggest answer there is there's money. 465 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: There's money everywhere. Now salary cap keeps rising, and teams 466 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: know that it's gonna keep rising even more when this 467 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: when the new TV deal kicks kicking in, it's not 468 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: as hard to stay under the cap. One thing. One 469 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: point we've been making lately that people you have to 470 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: have a hot take on contracts now, and that's like 471 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: the thing who cares? So people ask me on Twitter, 472 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: was this a good signing? Well, they kept a good 473 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: player and ascending young player who was a nucleus guy. 474 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: Of course it's a good signing. And they have three 475 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: other guys in that class that they want to sign. 476 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck obviously being number one, and they will sign him, 477 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: but then Dwayne Allen and Kobe Flaner. So you get 478 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: one of them out of the way, and you probably 479 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: choose one of those other tight ends. You probably can't 480 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: keep it. Randall, cobbs, Y Hilton, and Jeremy Macwin all 481 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: have similar deals. Uh, if I I'm not if we're 482 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: gonna do power ranks. I know Macklan's third on this, 483 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: but who's a better player, Randall Cobb or t Y Hilton. 484 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: I think t Y Hilton place outside and the slot 485 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: that gives him an advantage. He's a deep threat and 486 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: a slot guy wears. Randall Cobb is more of a 487 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: run after catch slack guy. You're not gonna He's not 488 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: really a outside the numbers downfield threat, although I do 489 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: remember that one game and Soldier Field that clinched a 490 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: playoff berth for the Packers two years ago. Randall Cobb 491 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: deep so he can do memory does that? I I'd 492 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: go Hilton, Yeah, I think not as versatile as much 493 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: as I just talked about. Hilton's not there with the 494 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: marriest times. I do think you could put him on 495 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: the outside. He's going to be Look at Hilton's postseason 496 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: numbers sometimes they're crazy. So who would you rather take 497 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: when you look at the quarterbacks? Andrew Luck or Aaron Rodgers? 498 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: Who we we have that conversation, uh in aqualace to 499 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: Fantasia over the summer. I believe is back in uh 500 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: early April was win n I went back to Tybee. 501 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: It depends how long I think, if it's for the 502 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: next If they were Rogers, no one's ever played quarterback 503 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: at a higher level than Rogers did last year. Rogers. 504 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: Do you disagree? No, that's exactly who I would go with, 505 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: So I would. I don't know what that was Elsewhere. 506 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: The St. Louis Rams UH drafted Todd Gurley with a 507 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: tenth overall pick. They see him as a guy they 508 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: can you know, hand the offense to essentially and lead 509 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 1: them to the playoffs. Don't expect them to see him 510 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: at the start of the season. Rap Sheet whose hair, 511 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: by the way, might not be natural, wrote in dispatch 512 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: from RAMS camp on Tuesday that the team expects their 513 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: first round pick to miss the quote first couple of 514 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: games of the regular season. UH. Inside RAMS camp, he's 515 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: viewed as about recovered from Z A. C. L. Tare. 516 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: The ligament is sound, but the area around the knee 517 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: isn't quite all the way back yet, so they don't 518 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: want to rush him back. This makes a lot of sense, obviously, 519 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: for a guy you're investing a lot in. You don't 520 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: need them UH to be ready for week one. He 521 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: needs them to be solid for ten years. Does this 522 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: drop them to the second most exciting backfield in the NFL? 523 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: When they're healthy, they could be the most exciting backfield. 524 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: This is spin because they expected him to be ready 525 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: for the start of the season. They said that multiple times, 526 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: and now they say, oh, he's looking great, he's The 527 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: reality is there a month out and they already know 528 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: he's not going to be ready for the start of 529 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: the year, and so that's concerning. There has to be 530 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: a concern. It doesn't bother me as much because yeah, 531 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,239 Speaker 1: all right, if they start and if yeah, I mean 532 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 1: if they don't start, you know, good, then whatever. But 533 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: I would rather have Girly to the middle and later 534 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: parts of the season because when a team gets hot, 535 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: that's when you want them to get hot. I mean, 536 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: are we talking about I think I think with Greg 537 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: saying though, that maybe you have concerns that we might 538 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: not get top shelf Girly this year because we don't 539 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: know what's going on. He's not all the way back 540 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: and they thought he would be. It's never good when 541 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: they moved the date back. It's just not We were 542 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: all excited. You know, you passed the test to start 543 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: training camp. He wasn't on the pup list, but for 544 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: them to kind of put this out there this early, 545 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean, there has to be some concerns, and they are, 546 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: as you said, looking long term. And that's what Zach 547 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: Stacy's like, Oh my gosh, why did I leave? Why 548 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: did I say anything? Where did he go to? Um? 549 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: And finally in the news we talked about in our 550 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: review of Hard Knocks are Recap on the previous podcast 551 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: that DeAndre Hopkins and D'Angelo Hall of the Texans and 552 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: Redskins respectively, had a really great back and forth on 553 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: the show. Greg called the one of his favorite Hard 554 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: Knocks moments ever, the two guys jawing at each other 555 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: and ended with D'Angelo Hall down on the ground with 556 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: a groin injury after Hopkins stuttered him to death almost 557 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: on a pass route. So, Greg, you said it was 558 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: humiliating for D'Angelo Hall and and mad talking about rap beefs. 559 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a real life beef and he 560 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: just put the guy on the ground and it's done. 561 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: And it speaks to D'Angelo Hall's twitter feed blowing up 562 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 1: with probably insults that he came out and tweeted about it. 563 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: His tweet when the highlight of your career is catching 564 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: a ten yard pass on a dB while he slips 565 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: and you feel like you did something hashtag in this 566 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: a great hashtag sad day in football? Who gave him that? One? 567 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: RG three? Uh? DeAndre Hopkins? Uh? Then shot back on Twitter, 568 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: hope treatment is going well to you just knoked about again. 569 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: We asked for a rematch and get and and for 570 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: the record, it wasn't just a slip. He slipped because 571 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: Hopkins moved was so dynamic. Let's let's be let's be 572 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: cool about that. And then D'Angelo Hall finally he got 573 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: back off the mat after getting knocked out and said, 574 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm good to go, young fella. Here's some advice. Don't 575 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: stutter on your comebacks. They're too easy to read. Take 576 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: it or leave it. Oh, by the way, D'Angelo Hall, 577 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins had the most impressive game any wide receiver 578 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: had all of last year against the Titans when he 579 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: made a series of diving catches had over two hundred yards. 580 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: I'd say that was a pretty big highlight to a career. 581 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: D'Angelo Hall. Big hat, no cattle, as they say in Texas, Dan, 582 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: I like the Texans. I'm not gonna lie Hard Knocks 583 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: is really selling. Well, that's that always happens. I know, 584 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: you always talk yourself into the team on Hard Knocks 585 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: being better than they are. There's there's a great guy 586 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: on the news desk. Assignment editor Tony Garcia. This is 587 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: an interesting strategy. He doesn't have a team like Chris Wesley, 588 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: and he just roots for whatever team is on Hard Knocks. 589 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: Everything that's not a good team. How do you like 590 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: the Falcons last year didn't work out too well. Yeah, 591 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: it's an interesting strategy. That means he's had to root 592 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: for Cincinnati multiple time. That's a really sad. Usually the 593 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks team is kind of like a down on 594 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: its luck team that's looking for a little publicity. So 595 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: he's going after an underdog. He's not going to get 596 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots or anything. Oh you got the two thousand 597 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: ten Jets. They were supposed to be good. Yeah, well 598 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: the other way. You know what, the next year, you're right, 599 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: let me alone. I'm going through a lot right now 600 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: as a Jets fan. I don't need it. I certainly 601 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: don't need errors in a memory. That was a nice 602 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: time for me. Alright, alright, right, okay, So that's what's 603 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: happening in the news, and we will now hit the 604 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: mail bag, which you know, the listeners and the readers 605 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: always do such a great job um sending us a 606 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: lot of stuff. I can't get everything into the mail bag, 607 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: which again you can see on NFL dot com. But 608 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: we have more time here on the podcast time, Colleen, 609 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: so much time that the time is all we have. 610 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: What does that mean? I don't know best song, best 611 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: song about time, Cindy Lauper, Time after Time, that's a 612 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: good one. It's a good one. I'll go with a 613 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: nineties classic time by Hooty and the Blowfish Time while 614 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: you punish me like, oh yeah, alright, got to the shore. 615 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: My dentist is just calling me right now. I had 616 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: an appointment today that I forgot about. Dr Pivo. Isn't 617 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: there a Pink Floyd time song? Yes? Clock? What about yeah? 618 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: The cold Play clocks. It's a little bit. Yeah, that's 619 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: a stretch. All right, let's do some mail and we'll 620 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: get things going. I thought this from Peter Salato at 621 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: Pace Alato. What's so funny? Not that I was just 622 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: thinking of the song still of the Rendition and Ark Kelly, 623 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: that's it, just going back good times from a minute ago. 624 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: My mind. You could hear it though in his voice, 625 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 1: where like the emotion is like it's like karaoke emotion 626 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: after a couple of sake bumps. Peter Salato at Pace Alato. 627 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: I am in a tipping contest. I don't know what 628 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: that means. Um some type of contest where I need 629 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: to pick the highest scoring team for the season. Who 630 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: do you suggest I pick? I'm thinking the Colts. All right, 631 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: I'll start with Culleen Wolf on this one. Okay, So 632 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with I'm gonna mix it up a 633 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm gonna go with the one that maybe 634 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: not everybody's thinking of. How about the Steelers? Some people 635 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: are thinking that. But Ben Roethlisberger. I think that he's 636 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: looking more comfortable than he ever has in his career. 637 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: He did last season, and I think that that continues. 638 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: He carries that momentum into this season. He just signed 639 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: that new deal. Antonio Brown is outstanding. He's a total stud. 640 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: Love Bell, Yeah, he suspended, but it doesn't love Bell. 641 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: You know what, Check might be rubbing off on me 642 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: because I'm a little hyped about the Steelers and big 643 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: offense and and their offensive line, All five starters are there, 644 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: and I feel like that consistency is huge and it's 645 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: so important for that offense. I think on paper they're 646 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: a little more talented than the Colts, which is hard, 647 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: just a little more, but I'm gonna go with the 648 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: Colts are a lot deeper. But the Colts are playing doors, 649 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: and the Colts defense stinks, and the a F the 650 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: South stinks. So I think back all, if you add 651 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: it all up in a in a bowl, that you 652 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: know that createst game or whatever it is, iossible You're 653 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: both wrong, by the way, and I think West will 654 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: agree with me on this. Packers will have the highest 655 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: scoring offense in the league. They lead. I got this 656 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: from Evan Silva's he writes those great um offseason overview 657 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: pieces at Rhoda World, Yes, which Gregg founded. He broke around. 658 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: He had one of those oversized scissors and a golden shovel. 659 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: RhoD World was a building. Uh. According to Evan Silva, 660 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: you know, the Packers had the number one scoring offense 661 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: most um yards per game, I believe, and they were 662 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: I believe in plays per game on offense, which spoke 663 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: to how many times they took their foot off the pedal, blowouts, 664 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: things of that nature. Um, this is a historic offense 665 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: that brought back all their pieces, So I expect them 666 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: to easily clear five h points a game, which is 667 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: like third or five hundred points a game would be amazing. 668 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: Five hundred points a season, which would be about thirty 669 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: one points a game. I think they could even sniff 670 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: thirty five, which would put them potentially in historic territory 671 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: better than the greatest show on turf. They're in the 672 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 1: They're in the realm with the two thousand, two thousand 673 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: seven Patriots. With those rams, I think this could be 674 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 1: a special, special season for that offense. I think we've 675 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: covered the three teams that have a chance to break 676 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 1: records this year, the Colts, Packers, and Steelers. I side 677 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: with Dan. They wouldn't surprise me if the Colts did. 678 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: The Steelers, I don't know, missing live bell for a 679 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 1: couple of games. I don't think they're quite as deep. 680 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: But the Packers, like you said, the most important thing 681 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: is can somebody keep the game close up in Lambeau 682 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: this year, because they, like you said, there were a 683 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 1: lot of second halfs where they just took the foot 684 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: off the gas. Pedal entirely. They just could have They 685 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: could have scored forty or fifty points a lot of 686 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: those games they were in, they in offensive snaps and 687 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: led the NFL scoring yards for playing. I don't know 688 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: if that's ever been done before, to lead those two 689 00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: characters categories and that it's a fair point. Do you 690 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,399 Speaker 1: put a lot into that? I mean, not really, but 691 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: a pretty important But when a McCarthy stepping, if things 692 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: started going south, you ate to salvage a record by then, 693 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: I figure Rodgers is the key. Yeah. Uh. Next up 694 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 1: is Benjamin d at Patriots Fan ten fifty seven. It 695 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: just shows by the way that magnanimous. I'm not going 696 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: to cut him out of the podcast because he's a 697 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 1: Pats fan. Greg, you gotta respect that. Um Like calling 698 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: yourself classy, I think calling yourself magnanimous eliminates you. That's fair. Okay, 699 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: Based on what you have seen, are there any teams 700 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 1: that are front runners slash dark horses for the team 701 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: of a t L A t N. Now, but good question, Benjamin. 702 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: Now it should be known that we we've had a 703 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: lot of Cardinals talk, and I would say Cardinals and 704 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: Kings are the clear front runners. Those are the front runners. 705 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: But the question is beyond doubts about the Cardinals. Beyond 706 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and Vikings. That's interesting, Um, who are teams 707 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 1: that maybe we'll sneak into the conversation and could end 708 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,879 Speaker 1: up being that team. I'll start with you, Greg, since 709 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: you have some issues with the Cards now, well, the 710 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: Cards I don't see as being as good as people think, 711 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: so that's going to hurt them when they start losing games. 712 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: You asked for a dark horse, so it's hard to 713 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: come up with. What's it? What would be a real 714 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: dark horse? How about the team that we wouldn't even 715 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,280 Speaker 1: acknowledge was in the NFL last year, the Tennessee Titans 716 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: used to really struggle with the with them Titoons, just 717 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: even recalling who they were. If I'm trying to think 718 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 1: of a surprise team that could start off kind of fun, 719 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: West likes Mariota, that division is bad, just you know, 720 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: just that that would be a good story. If the 721 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: Titans were interesting, I could see us kind of like 722 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: in the Titans in a in a micro sense, that 723 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: would be one of the biggest turnarounds in NFL history, 724 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: that they go from a team that we won't even 725 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: say their first name to being the team of a 726 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: t M. That would be incredible. Certainly would be the 727 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,399 Speaker 1: biggest turnaround and around the NFL history, and that's more 728 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: important than the NFL. I will definitely be tuning into 729 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: game Rewa or game Pass every week to watch Mariota. 730 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: It would be nice if they had someone else step up. 731 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't care for Bishop Sanky so wide. You know 732 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna need, like Dorio Beckham Green to become an 733 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,240 Speaker 1: interesting person. How many losses will it take to start 734 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: the season for you guys to completely forget their name again? Well, 735 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: it really comes down to what how Mariota looks for me. 736 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: If he's if he's a bust, they're gonna be as 737 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: forgettable as ever any other dark horses. What about the 738 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: Texans too, All right, we'll start with the lines West. Well, 739 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: Mira Abdulla is gonna be one of the most fun 740 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: guys in the league to watch. I think they have 741 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: a chance to be a top five offense. You've got 742 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: Stafford's the key. Is he going to be consistent? I mean, 743 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago we have forty one touchdowns. 744 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: Now they've got Calvin Johnson was hurt most of last year. 745 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,959 Speaker 1: People forget that Golden Tate is phenomenal after the catch, 746 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: He's basically Hines ward E Bronze had a better rapport 747 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: with Stafford this year, and he was a top ten pick. 748 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 1: This could be a loaded offense. I thought about throwing 749 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: a team out there that plays indoors the land of Falcons. 750 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: But then I thought, oh, these these guys on the 751 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: other side of the table. They don't like the domes. 752 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: They also the Also, the Falcons have like five good 753 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: players on their entire team. A couple of them are 754 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 1: pretty fun to watch. You got Dan Quinn. That's beside 755 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: the point. My point is I'm surprised that West would 756 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: go for an indoor team as a team. I brought 757 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: up the lines several times last year as a team 758 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: of the in NFL. I will also, before we go 759 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: to Colleen with her pick of the Texans, throw out 760 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: a little an old Bill Simmons line the ewing theory 761 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: potential with m Dominican Sue out of the picture, who knows, 762 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: maybe the lines actually better on defense? You know, well, 763 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: they shut down that vaunted Jets offense last night. You 764 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: know it's too soon to be taking shots at the 765 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: Jets season from an on field perspective, Ghost Time previous 766 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: and Kravarti were both in all in those early plays 767 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: too when they scored. It's Week one. I won't do 768 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: it Texas, alright, fine, you know what, I feel like, 769 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: I'm being persuaded by hard knocks. But the Texans I 770 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: kind of liked them in last year nine and seven 771 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: been and I feel like, you know, this year, I'm 772 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: a little worried about Arian Foster Hurd. I mean, that 773 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: is a huge deal, and obviously they don't have a quarterback, 774 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: so this is a major underdog. But they're gonna be 775 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: hard to watch, and less Mallet steps up as a 776 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: as a guy who's interesting. I am kind of falling 777 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 1: for DeAndre. Oh yeah, DeAndre is great and J. J. 778 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 1: Watts always easy to watch. Yeah, I love DeAndre Hoppins. 779 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 1: I love everything about him. He's great. And Bill O'Brien 780 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: i'm loving right now too. M hmm. We won't roll 781 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,399 Speaker 1: the Texans out, and that's rare because the team without 782 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback is usually not going to be in there. 783 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: You really got a root for this team, all right? 784 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: Moving on, This is from Garrett Culter at Garrett culter 785 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: more disappointing Season two thousand fifteen Jets or Season two 786 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: of True Detective. Answer well, first of all, too soon, 787 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: garret it. Uh you know, I'm I'm still processing what's 788 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: been a hellacious week for any Jet fan. But I 789 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: would say season two a True Detective, if if we 790 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of a detour. Season one of True 791 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: Detective pulled something off that you don't see often in 792 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 1: uh television anymore, which is a communal group experience. Everybody 793 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: was watching that show on Sundays there a larger majority, 794 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: and then it would be a water cooler show on Monday. 795 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: It was a legitimate phenomenon if you like TV. And 796 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: then season two lays a big old turd right out 797 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: of its butt. So well, it's a shame Mark's not 798 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: here because he's the only one unless you liked it. 799 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 1: He's the only one who liked it. Among I bailed 800 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: on it. I just couldn't. I couldn't watch it anymore. 801 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: It was unwatchable to me. I'm not gonna lie. I 802 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: still have not seen the finale, which there's a lot 803 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 1: right there that you haven't made time to watch it, 804 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: I know. And I started watching Hard Knocks before I 805 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: watched the finale, so that is telling it became a 806 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: chore to watch it. It did. I felt like I 807 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 1: had to do it, which was the start to watch 808 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 1: shows that you know over. I agree with you, life's 809 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 1: too short to watch boring shows. It's never too short 810 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 1: to watch Greig knock over his four thousand coffee of 811 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: his life. By the way, Greg is on two strikes 812 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: within the NFL conglomerates. Is good, he's rude. Two laptops 813 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 1: and not one bad phones. Laptops, phones by spilling water 814 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: and coffee? Is that how you got an apple? Now? 815 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: I had that. But I was told after the second 816 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: one that I was on this double secret probation a 817 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: true story, that that's my last one, that if it 818 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: happens again, because it happened, I've never done that before 819 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: in my life. It happened twice within six months of 820 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 1: starting here, before I even moved out here. They said, 821 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 1: if that happens again, you're buying the next computer. That's awesome. Um, 822 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: and then you know, back to the jets a second, 823 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: and I wrote about this question. I you know, I 824 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,399 Speaker 1: led the mail bag off of it, so all power 825 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 1: in it a little bit, but um, you know, I 826 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: got heat when the Jets were too high in the power, 827 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: in the in the pain rankings, but they deserve to 828 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: be there for this reason. We talked about that, and 829 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: I also say, you know, I was thinking about what 830 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: it's like to be a Jets fan and how you 831 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: know it builds character, like to tell myself, But it's 832 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: also kind of like being on the blackjack table and 833 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: you're getting killed on the table. You're getting elevens and 834 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: twelves and your down money, but you refused to get 835 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: up because you think the moment you get up the 836 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: table is gonna heat up. That's where I feel like 837 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: it's a Jets man. At some point, this is gonna turn, 838 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 1: And I thought this was gonna I thought things are 839 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 1: gonna turn this year, and it's it looks like I'm 840 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 1: still getting And the Jets did not invent humiliation. The 841 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: Bengals have a loyalty claw forget about threatened to flip 842 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,439 Speaker 1: Burgers rather than play for the Bengals. By the way, 843 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 1: the Bengals didn't invented either, nor to the Jets, but 844 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: the Jets perfected humiliation. I don't think so. At least 845 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: the Jets have been for me exciting, like there have 846 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: been major plot twists and that was not the case 847 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 1: from an outside of the standpoint. Okay, well that's true, 848 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: so I'm like all in on watching the Jets for 849 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: all the wrong reasons. More disappointed the question the core 850 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: question from Garrett more disappointing season. It is true, Detective, 851 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: because let's be fair to the Jets, the season is 852 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: not over yet. I agree, three preseason games and sixteen 853 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 1: regular season games to go, but I think I know 854 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: how pre detective a comprehensive failure. Yes, all right, Finally, 855 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,360 Speaker 1: before we hit a little speed round, this from Bruce 856 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 1: Bruce Wayne at l a X Nedrick. I thought Mark 857 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: had a Cessler had a nice tweet or was a 858 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: Facebook that he thinks that l a X needs to 859 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: disappear from the world, from society. I love that he 860 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: put society and if the airport is in society, So 861 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 1: for Bruce Bruce Wayne to use ALEX and l X 862 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 1: and his handles interesting. But here we go, uh Steve 863 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 1: Smith's retirement of course coming up? Who are the best 864 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 1: five five best wide receivers ever under five ten? And 865 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,399 Speaker 1: I like this question. I'm gonna alter it a little 866 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: bit to say just your favorite short guy. Their favorite 867 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: short guy could be five ten or below, but a 868 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 1: guy that was an underdog NFL player passed or present, Greg, 869 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 1: do you have one? I can start with you, Ray 870 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: right now. I'm just kidd um. I thought it was funny. 871 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: I always like Darren Sprawls. I mean, for someone you know, 872 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,240 Speaker 1: people talk about short olo five nine. He it's amazing 873 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,439 Speaker 1: five nine, five ten that he's made in the Darren 874 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: Sprails is like me, he's under five six. That guy 875 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 1: makes it to the NFL. Give me a break. I mean, 876 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: that's that's you have to overcome a lot to be 877 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: five five. And I know his legs are probably bigger 878 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: than my entire body. But that's that's the thing when 879 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 1: you when you go to the league events and you 880 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 1: see these guys, um, even the little guys, their legs 881 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,959 Speaker 1: are absurd. Jones jew and his prime I just insane 882 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: person to be around because he was barely taller than 883 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 1: me and his legs were just trunks. I met him 884 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: in the green room yesterday. Extremely nice guy, but his 885 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: arms are bigger than your head. Yeah, he is solid. Yeah, 886 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,399 Speaker 1: I know. I was shocked when I first met him 887 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 1: because I mean it's obviously great. I don't have to 888 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: stand on any boxes or anything in the studio because 889 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: everybody else is like seven ft taller than me. But 890 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: he said that he was a gymnast growing up, and 891 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: that's why, and I think that really helped him with 892 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: his balance and everything when he was running. By the way, 893 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 1: Patra is going to listen to the segment about m 894 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: j D's body and is going to be just completely 895 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 1: nude in a mirror, just like lifting weights and doing 896 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: pull ups, just sweat pouring off him. Ah m j Yeah, 897 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 1: I was a figure skater. He was gymnast. You were 898 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 1: an Olympian. I was an Olympian play Olympic sports. I'm accomplished, 899 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: Danny Fox. That's how old. I can totally see you, 900 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 1: by the way, now that now that you brought it up, 901 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: I could totally see you as a figure skater. Well yeah, 902 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: my god, yeah, it's cut all my hair off. It 903 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 1: was crazy. What were we talking about? Happened? Was cutting 904 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 1: in your favorite? I did? Like? Alright, favorite figure skater 905 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: ever west Katerina. Oh what about short football players? The 906 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,479 Speaker 1: proto Darren Sprawls. When I was when I first became 907 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 1: a football fan, Linel Little Train James for the San 908 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,799 Speaker 1: Diego Chargers in the mid eighties. This guy was five 909 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,880 Speaker 1: ft six, was a dangerous kick returner, running back and 910 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,280 Speaker 1: hit a thousand yards season and in the mid eighties 911 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 1: he was I think Mark was a big fan of 912 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: the Little Train too. I'll go with U. I'll of course, 913 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: I'll go with a Jet Wayne Crbett. I liked Wayne 914 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 1: so undrafted. The great story about Wayn Krebett, who ended 915 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 1: up being one of the greatest receivers in in team history, 916 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: was not drafted and was not even scouted by the team. 917 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 1: But at the time, the Jets practiced in Hofstra where 918 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: they held their camping Hofstra where Carbett went. He's a Garfield, 919 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 1: New Jersey native UH Exit seven on the Garden State 920 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: Parkway UM and they part of the deal with the 921 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: Jets was that one Hofstra player could walk on to camp, 922 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,959 Speaker 1: and that was Carbett. He was the guy that walked 923 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: on camp. He made the team instant impact player. Keishawn 924 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,800 Speaker 1: Johnson hated him because the fans UH gravitated towards Curbett 925 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 1: over Johnson, the first over pick in the draft, but 926 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,359 Speaker 1: it turned out Carbett was the better player and one 927 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,240 Speaker 1: of the all time fan favorites. Hold on, I would 928 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: I would not necessarily say I think Keishan was much 929 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: better than Wayne. I think you could debate it, but 930 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: that's I would take a look at Keishan stats. He 931 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 1: was a disappointment. Ultimately, what about the Shawan too? He's 932 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: got to be in the mix, right, Everybody's like, no, no, no, no, 933 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 1: absolutely look at his yards per catch, how he dwarfs 934 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: everyone in football? Great player. Yes it's a favorite called 935 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: the metal Lands too. He's not your favorite. I mean yeah, 936 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm not going to deny it. All right, before we 937 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 1: get out of here, let's do let's hit a little 938 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,399 Speaker 1: rapid fire session. Uh TD.
