Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast. He's more prolific at appro

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: creating than Daishi. Welcome to another edition of the Around

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan hansis coming to

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: you from a city filled with heroes in Bunker's. Yes City.

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: We're all on the same time zone, and it's great

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: to be alive. Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler, Ricky Hollywood. What's

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: up boys and girls? I think that's up for debate.

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest. I think Damnaschek. One thing

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: I love about Damna Check's approach to family is that

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: he's taking, um, sort of an ancient approach, which is,

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: I will, um, you know, create children with multiple people.

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: And that's how they did it back then. That's how

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 1: you created towns and kingdoms, and um. You know, we're

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: in a we're in a system where we're not allowed

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: to do that, um barring major rules. But I think

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: I could, I could follow that path if I wanted to.

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: Why am I still talking? What is happening? I am

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: letting Mark Well, no, I down this island. We're gonna

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: cut this for social Dan and I aren't even gonna

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: make a follow up coming. Mark's is gonna live with

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: with this, there's probably, like I think a lot of

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: people are learning that when you put out statements there

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: might be more context to give, more information to give

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: before you do that. And I'm learning that right here, somebody,

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: somebody on the subreddit. Because I know you guys are

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: crazy in a good way. I want you to transcribe

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: that last monologue monologue from Mark, and then on Monday

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: Show we'll read it back. Can I go now with

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: one of those videos where it's it's just like all

30
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: the words are printed over you know, it's you know,

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: one of those lyrics sort of videos. We'll do it

32
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: up for social it'd be great. Okay, Yes, I'm back

33
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 1: in California. I was on a plane yesterday. Everything seems

34
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: okay right now, but see how I'm feeling in a

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I was traveling it in this pandemic

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: in the at flights, traveling is more surreal than dangerous

37
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: to me anyway. Um, because if you follow the steps

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: or just keep a mask on it all time, don't

39
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: drink or eat at the airport, you're gonna be met

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: with an airport that is quiet. I would say the

41
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: capacity is probably about of what we've seen uh this

42
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: time last year and then um, you know, getting your

43
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: own row on an airplane. If there's anything that's good

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: that's kind of out of covid, uh, it's that the

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: airlines are taking one on the chin here because they've

46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: been banging us for a long time now, um, making

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: the seats smaller, the rows tighter, the the rules and

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: the regulations more prohibitive, and just flying in my own row.

49
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: The last um two plane trips has been nice. Um.

50
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: I miss Texas. I will be heading back there because

51
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: my family is still there. Um, but I'm gonna be

52
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: here for a week. And uh, ge wait a minute,

53
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: what I mean? I was lacerated on this show when

54
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: I sent my wife and children on a getaway for

55
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: two days. You're now in your house for a week.

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: I'll be there in like an hour. I'll wear a mask,

57
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: but I'm the inspiration come back for a week. I

58
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: didn't know you were going back to Texas. Uh. I

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: had to come back because you gotta I follow the

60
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: creedile that you gotta check on the house. You can't.

61
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: You can't just leave your house forever. And we've been

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: gone several weeks. So I came back make sure the

63
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: thing was still standing. I got a couple of throwback

64
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: podcasts to get to knock Out with Bob Keshtron, to

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: do a few shows here, get back on the peloton.

66
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: It's been it's been just a not a very healthy

67
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: living down there in Texas with all the barbecue and drinking,

68
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: uh and no gyms or exercise equipment. So I kind

69
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: of had to just like, is the house secure? Have

70
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: it is it? Is it standing still? Have you done

71
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: a full inspection? It is? But I mean you say that,

72
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: but we live in the middle of Los Angeles. My

73
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: my neighborhood has quite a bit of crime if you

74
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: look at the old logs. So I I was nervous

75
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: about it the entire time I was gone. So I'm

76
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: happy to, you know, flip on some lights, open some doors,

77
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: show the criminal element out there that the old Zeuser

78
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: is back in town and not to come near uh

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: the old homestead. Well, I'm half buying it. But I

80
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: am happy for you. I'm gonna choose to be happy

81
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: for you, which was not your approach when I had

82
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: twenty four hours to myself. But way, John, I don't

83
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: like being away from your way. I don't like the

84
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: I could have if I could have pulled the Rosenthal,

85
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: which is when the family goes to Japan, you know,

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: sign up for three weeks on your own. I could

87
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: have pulled that because the wife and kids are supposed

88
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: to come back in August, um beginning of August. But

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I can't just stay here without

90
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: them for that long. Um so I already missed my kids.

91
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, you're very devoted. Greg comments,

92
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: I like that Mark has held on to uh clearly

93
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: held onto this back you know, backfire. He took a

94
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: few weeks. Well, that was absurd. It's why it's absurd

95
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: because it's totally was totally hypocate and it's proven to

96
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: be right here and now, I mean, it's it's crazy.

97
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I do have to report. I have to

98
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: report some disappointment on the Gatesville Messenger front. Oh yeah,

99
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: what's up. Maybe I'll save that. I'll save that for

100
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: a little later in the show. Coming up on today's show,

101
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: what a tease. Seth Payne, great radio guy down there

102
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: in Houston, is going to be our guest of honor

103
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: when we talk the Houston Texans on the Wheel of Teams. Uh,

104
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: you guys did it on the Graham when I was

105
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: um off on Monday, and uh, the it landed on

106
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans football club. So we're gonna talk about

107
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: the Texans and where they go in without DeAndre Hopkins,

108
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: and we also will have a special guest at the

109
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: end of the show. Um that. I'll leave it at that.

110
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: But before any of that, let us hit the news.

111
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: Whitney second pick in the two thousand seventeen NFL Draft,

112
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears select Patrick Mahomes's the second. It is

113
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: the second. You know, the internet could be a cruel place.

114
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: That is a obviously a mash up, edited cut in

115
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: which the Chicago Bears select Patrick Mahomes instead of Mitch

116
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: Drabinski in the NFL Draft something that and I'm sure

117
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: you guys obviously got into it extensively on Monday's program.

118
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes signing that mega deal with the Chiefs, and this

119
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: stuff is just gonna keep happening to the Bears and

120
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: their fans, who you know, sneaky, tough road it's been

121
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: for them since the Five one of the great teams

122
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: of all time. Some people think the greatest team of

123
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: all time, The Five Bears under Ditka, it isn't. They

124
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: have not a super Bowl since and there's been some

125
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: lean years over those last thirty five years. And now

126
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: every time Mahomes does something great, whether it's a Super

127
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: Bowl or an m v P or the richest contract

128
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: in the history of professional sports, it's always going to

129
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: connect to the Bears, and that sucks. Well, the thing

130
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: that there are teams that you want to be one

131
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: of those teams that were picking ahead of the Chiefs

132
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: where they traded up to and just didn't take a quarterback.

133
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: They're out there and they're not getting flagged the same

134
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: way and they well, we had a team need left

135
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: and right, please, But I mean Leonard four Nette maybe

136
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: is the one guy that's cat much fire the Jaggers

137
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: had Blake Bortles. Heck, look who the Chiefs traded that

138
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: pick too. I know that Josh Allen fans are are

139
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna come after me, but at some point in the

140
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: next decade you might say, well, maybe we shouldn't have

141
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: traded that pick that turned into Patrick Mahomes as a

142
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's fan. Next. One of the reasons one of

143
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: the reasons the Jets passed on taking a quarterback. They

144
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: took Jamal Adams, who obviously an excellent player. But one

145
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: of the reasons they passed on a quarterback is because

146
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: they were quoted or it was reported that, hey, listen,

147
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: we got Christian Hackenburg and Bryce Petty waiting in the wings.

148
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: We don't want to clutter things up too much. So

149
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: obviously it wasn't just the Bears that made a horrendous

150
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: error in judgment, but it was the way the Bears

151
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: did it, trading up to get to the number two pick,

152
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: to then not pick potentially one of the great quarterbacks

153
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: of all time. But we'll see how that all plays out.

154
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: Let's do some news and we'll start with the Sean Jackson,

155
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: who's in the news for not very good reasons at all.

156
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: The Eagles wide receiver Uh said he has no hatred

157
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: towards the Jewish community, and he issued two statements apologizing Uh,

158
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: saying he had a was giving a promise to do

159
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: better after he posted on social media Monday anti Semitic

160
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: messages that he attributed to Adolf Hitler and also expressed

161
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: admiration for the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farkhon. The Eagles.

162
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, responded by calling Jackson Pope. Jackson's post offensive harmful,

163
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: absolutely appalling, so the team would take the appropriate action.

164
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: And Um, by the way, Jeff Jeffrey Lori and Howie Roseman,

165
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: the team owner and general manager, are Jewish men, and

166
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: they met with Jackson, And at this point it does

167
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: not sound like or seem like Jackson is gonna lose

168
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: his job over this, but he has created a storm

169
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: of his own doing here. Nonetheless, Yeah, I think my

170
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from the Eagles reaction was was what you said.

171
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: They're not gonna get rid of him. They they indicated

172
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: they've talked to him about being a positive voice of

173
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: inclusion moving forward, that they want him to do some

174
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: things promoting equality, which would indicate the even no risk

175
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: of losing his job. It's possible they could find him.

176
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. They they have set a precedent here

177
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: that many people have pointed out. UM, you know, after

178
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: Riley Cooper was caught, you know, on on video using

179
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: the N word seven years ago. UM, he stayed with

180
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: the team. He did get a team fine at the time.

181
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: Um eventually signed another contract with the Eagles, and Deshan Jackson,

182
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: obviously a valuable player, he has guaranteed money this year.

183
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like getting rid of the Shawan Jackson um

184
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: was ever a serious, you know consideration. But you know,

185
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: you you're never in a in a good spot when

186
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: you're when your apology uh starts with I probably should

187
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: have never posted anything that Hitler did because Hitler was

188
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: a bad person. And I know that. I mean, the

189
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: probably in that statement was a little much for me,

190
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: But um, what can you do if you're take incredible

191
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: ignorance and he's he's paying some public backlash for it,

192
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: And that's just how these things go these days. If

193
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: if you're attempting to make a point about society and

194
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: you choose to lean on a quote, an erroneous quote

195
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: by the way, from Hitler, who was probably perhaps the

196
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: most evil man and human civilization over the last say

197
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: two hundred years, well yeah, you're pretty good there, de Sean.

198
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: You messed up pretty good. And and we'll see u

199
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: if this is something that that blows over. But I

200
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: think this is when things get tricky in sports mark

201
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: where the Eagles need to Sean Jackson and they do

202
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: not have a very deep wide receiver group. We saw

203
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: how the lack of weapons. When Jackson went out, when

204
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: all Sean Jeffrey went out last year, how that led

205
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: to a lot of issues for the Eagles scoring points.

206
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: If Jackson wasn't was on a deeper roster, I would

207
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: imagine there's a chance he's gone. But the Eagles, they

208
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: they're weighing different things here, not just what he said,

209
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: but also what they need. Well, you know, I'd like

210
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: more information. I'd like to hear what the conversation was

211
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. UM. And and because as you mentioned,

212
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean Howie Roseman, UM would have a right to

213
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: be very offended by that, UM, Lorie and many other people.

214
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: I think that Jeff Schwartz, who you know, former Giants

215
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: lineman who has its own podcast now, came out very

216
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: strongly he's Jewish, and he said that a lot of

217
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: players in locker rooms, UM don't know anything about judaism.

218
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: That it's um where you know, you look at the

219
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter movement, there is obviously UM an embedded

220
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: footprint in the league. And uh, it's the league and

221
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: the players have a chance to be uh a very

222
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: important mouthpiece to that. But in this case, UM, I

223
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: thought it fell largely. I mean, certainly it was rightly criticized,

224
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: but the reaction was UM pretty miniscule on that front.

225
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: I think more people concerned about whether he keep his

226
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: roster spot and and the money tied to it, what

227
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: he's bringing up and who it affects, UM didn't have

228
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: the same I guess maybe atomic impact that it should have.

229
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: And I agree with Jeff Sports that it's it's a

230
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: cultural um mystery in many locker rooms. To many people. Yeah,

231
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: it's a blind spot. And I think if you want,

232
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, the people trying to give him somewhat of

233
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: a pass is like, well, he's just ignorant, you know,

234
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: But that's that's not giving to Sean Jackson enough credit.

235
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: You know. It was from he's been watching a lot

236
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: of Louis faircon apparently, and that is on Instagram Live.

237
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: It's like, no, you're you're a grown man in your thirties.

238
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: Ignorance at this level UM about Adolf Hitler and anything

239
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: like it is is not really an excuse. But but

240
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: they move on. You know, they're not gonna do anything

241
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: about it, all right, moving on? All right, it's stuck.

242
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: A little update. As we get closer and closer to

243
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: the start of or the scheduled start of training camp July.

244
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: And there's the business aspect of what's going on here

245
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: with COVID nineteen. UM. We saw how it like ripped

246
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: up baseball, the union and the league fighting it out

247
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: over money, and in a lot of ways, the NFL

248
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: it feels like they were they really were gifted by

249
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: the timing of their season UM where they didn't feel

250
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: like they were affected directly the way it was just

251
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: just rampaging through all the other professional sports. But now

252
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: the bills come and do because the NFL is coming

253
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: back and there are no solutions for COVID nineteen NFL works.

254
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: Tom Pelisero reports the league has proposed that thirty of

255
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty player salaries be held in escrow, which

256
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: would be a means for the league and owners to

257
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: handle the fallout financially of um, what's to come this

258
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: season and who knows if there will be a season.

259
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: Obviously this is the Unions involved, Greg and this is

260
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: not going to be met very well at all. I'd

261
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: imagine no, and a bunch of players quickly, you know,

262
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: made it clear that there was a non starter. And

263
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: Tom Peliserro's analysis essentially was that this this was something

264
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: maybe they were floating or trying for, you know, and

265
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: and it was never gonna was never really gonna fly.

266
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: I think just the story getting out there is is

267
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: somewhat interesting, just because I'm not overly interested in like

268
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: the play by play of how all of this stuff

269
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: ends up getting settled. To me, like the fact that

270
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: they threw this out there apparently in negotiating. Just tell

271
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: me when you decide things, and because even those things

272
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: that you decide are going to be written in pencil

273
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: and you might have to a race and and keep

274
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: changing things as you go. I just think this is

275
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: the start. As you mentioned, like baseball and basketball, they've

276
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: had their own issues between the players and the owners

277
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: that now because camp is getting closer, we're gonna start

278
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: seeing it come to the forefront. And there's been a

279
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: bunch of news the last few days. J C. Tread

280
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Or the NFL p a UH chief spoke and you know,

281
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: and and really emphasize how they want to make sure

282
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: it's safe for the players. And we talked on Monday

283
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: a little bit about how the players don't want to

284
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: play the preseason and that's one of the things that's

285
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna go back and forth, And I just think right now,

286
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: with all of these conversations, I'm not gonna get too

287
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: wrapped up in in like the back and forth because Okay,

288
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: they maybe they will decide on two preseason games and

289
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: then in a couple of weeks still after adjust because

290
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: the country is not allowing them to play two preseason games, like, well,

291
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: we'll wait and see. I I think they'll be able

292
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: to figure it out. It doesn't seem like, um, like

293
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: any of these issues are are gonna be, you know,

294
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: ones that you can't overcome from from a players in

295
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: the ownership perspective, I think you're right. It's it's definitely

296
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: it feels like, um a wait and see. Twice every

297
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, we're getting new nuggets. The story is changing.

298
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: And the whole concept that the NFL was in this

299
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: um sweet spot. I mean it certainly was in the

300
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: sense that baseball in the NBA had their regular seasons

301
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: like completely jacked up at a time when I think,

302
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, you look back, two NBA players caught coronavirus

303
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: and they just shut the whole thing down. Now the

304
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: m O is, how do we live with this and

305
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: still have sports? And there is no sweet spot anymore

306
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. People can ask why didn't they figure

307
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: out es, grow and money all this stuff before, Because

308
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: I think that there was um when we started these

309
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: bunker casts and inherent optimism that we would get out

310
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: of this at some point that probably by September with

311
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: what we were hearing, that we'd be on better footing.

312
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: And that's just not the case. And we had like

313
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: almost every like almost every industrialized, you know, country in

314
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: the world, you know, So it really wasn't that crazy

315
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: of a thought that the case load would be so

316
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: low in the country at this point that it would

317
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: be manageable. But because it's not, then the leagues are

318
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: in a tough spot. And because our country specifically, I mean,

319
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people We've mentioned this every

320
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: time we do a Corona update. If you're living in

321
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, somewhere way out there where you where Corona

322
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: has died down because your country handle it well and

323
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: you're you're wondering what's going on in the States, or

324
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: you're not checking it out like we are. Country is

325
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: not handling it well. We couldn't be more divided. We've

326
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: turned it into a totally politicized situation. And it's a

327
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: very confusing time because there's no indication that the coronavirus

328
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: is going to ease at all. There to your point

329
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: other pronged aspects of this that they've now talked about

330
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: players um having an avenue like in other sports, to

331
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: opt out of the season. UM. And at the same time,

332
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: you've got people on Twitter debating about where to draft

333
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 1: Duke Duke Johnson. I mean, it's a totally whacked up

334
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: It's it's it depends on what viewpoint you look through,

335
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: but um, I couldn't be more confused with where we'll

336
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: be three weeks from now. I'm done trying to figure

337
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: it out at this point, and I think the league

338
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: is trying to and J. C. Treader mentioned this and

339
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: others have to fit uh coronavirus into the NFL's plans,

340
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: and it's the other way around. You're not controlling this

341
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: at this point, and I you know, they probably don't

342
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: want us to say things like that, but you are

343
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: not controlling this, and it controls the NFL. We'll see

344
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: where we are a month from now. In that same

345
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: vein Stefon Diggs, who is one of the more well

346
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: known wide receivers in the league spoke out on the topic,

347
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: Um sharing his feelings. I love football with all of me,

348
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: but there's so many unanswered questions with this upcoming season.

349
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: I'd be lying if I said I was comfortable starting

350
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: back up. I've been training my butt off, just trying

351
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: to stay ready and stay prepared. And also, as you

352
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: had said, Mark, in baseball, which is scheduled to start

353
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: in less than three weeks, there have been multiple high

354
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: profile players that have opted out because that was part

355
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: of the agreement between the union and baseball during those

356
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: messy mostly failed negotiations. And uh, we're talking big name guys,

357
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: frontline starters, everyday players. If that starts out happening in

358
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, that's gonna become a bigger and bigg story.

359
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: And you know what, I imagine it will happen in

360
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. If it's happening we're seeing with the We're

361
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: seeing it, uh in the NBA as well, players opting

362
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: out of the Bubble playoffs down in Orlando, It's gonna

363
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: happen in the NFL as well. Um, And uh, you know,

364
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: and that would be it's almost best case scenario where

365
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: the NFL is dealing with losing stars that have decided

366
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: they need to protect their own safety because the alternative

367
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: is that that they just can't get off the ground

368
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: at all. And there's people testing positive left and right,

369
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: and they have to bring the whole thing to a

370
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: screeching halt, and then all bets are off in terms

371
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: of the future of football and what's going on in

372
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: the sporting world. So we're all the same page with this.

373
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: It is confusing. The early tone is the the NFL

374
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: p A is taking a very strong stance. I mean

375
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: we there was there were whispers, Oh, we're working well

376
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, We've got X, Y and Z figured out. Um.

377
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: Not the case. These players and all these leagues are

378
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: more empowered than they've ever been there more Um, they're

379
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: reading the same news stories that we're reading. They have

380
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: extended families and the same concerns that we have. Why

381
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: should they be treated differently? And even whenever you tweet

382
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: about this and the players, you immediately get hit with, well,

383
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: I work at this store and they're making me go back. Well,

384
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing with the fact that anyone should be

385
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: forced to go work in a situation they don't want

386
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: to be. But these players and j C. Treader. I thought,

387
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: if you go on to go read as two letters

388
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: over the past two weeks outlines why that's simply not

389
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: the case. That this is an entertainment industry that generates billions.

390
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: The NFL is potentially could potentially lose four billion dollars

391
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: that would have impact on every team, every player, US,

392
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: everyone that covers the sport, and the money is at

393
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: the heart of this. If it were if if you

394
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: had no money attached to this, who would be pushing

395
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: these players back in this? We're beyond the America needs baseball.

396
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: America needs basketball at this point, I am personally maybe

397
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: others just simply want to sit on their couch and

398
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: watch sports while the rest of society is melting down.

399
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: But um, it's much more complex than just having a

400
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: dive version right now. Well, the thing that's happening now

401
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: with with getting close to the season is now teams

402
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: are having to take real steps and this is only

403
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: gonna increase and so quickly. I did think it was

404
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: um important to see what the Ravens sent out today,

405
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: which was a you don't have to pick up your

406
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: season tickets at all. Um, that they're just gonna be pushed.

407
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: I mean everyone's most teams have given their fans the

408
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: option to do that, but the Ravens are just pushing

409
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: all season tickets to next year, just sort of forget

410
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: about them. And they recognized in in a statement to

411
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: their fans, in the best case scenario, they even put

412
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: a number on it, they have fourteen thousand people in

413
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: the stadium, and they said in the statement they recognize

414
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: that there might not be any fans in the stadium,

415
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: so it's not fair to have season tickets. So that's

416
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: the first team sort of taking this step of like

417
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: there's no chance we're gonna have even a half filled stadium.

418
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: And and the timing of everything is really interesting because,

419
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: okay that the teams that are doing camps in New Jersey,

420
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: in New York, those places have two week quarantines. If

421
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: you're coming from California in different places like that, well,

422
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: camp starting in two weeks, like that's now like that,

423
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: like traveling around the country, that's all part of it too.

424
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: So the time is now of where teams are going

425
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: to have to start making decisions, which is really tough

426
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: because especially in Texas and California and in some other

427
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: places where there's NFL teams in Florida. You know that

428
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: it's going out of control. In more traditional football news,

429
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: the Titans have been kicking at tires on Jadeveon Clowney

430
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: for some time, it sounds like. And the pass rusher,

431
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: who's still, of course, a free agent, was the subject

432
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: of a conversation between Paul KUCHARSKWS covered the Titans down

433
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: there Forever, and um John Robinson, the team's general manager,

434
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: and Robinson, Hey, he sees what he sees the videos

435
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: being posted of Clowney. He looks good, but that doesn't

436
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: mean they're going to give him a multimillion dollar contract

437
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: without meeting with him first. Um, here's what he said,

438
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: what I've seen on Twitter him rushing off the edge

439
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: and hitting that bag. Anytime you're dealing with whatever the

440
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: contract is going to command, you want to make sure

441
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: that the player is healthy, that you were able to

442
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: allow your doctors to see him, to look at it,

443
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: to make sure everything is going to be good. Mhm.

444
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: We tried to send this story into the sun on

445
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: our broadcast on our TV show, I guess, but it's

446
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: slipping through the cracks of Clowney. I guess we know

447
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: where he's not going though, which is the Browns. Um

448
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: that that was one takeaway I had this week with

449
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: Olivia vernon signing a restructured contract basically a pay cut.

450
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: They're really nice now. They never call him pay cuts anymore.

451
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: They just call him, oh, they signed a new contract. No,

452
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: well he took a huge pay cut. The Browns are

453
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna still a haircut to me, right, all right, He's

454
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: not going to the Browns. And people seem to think

455
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: the longer this goes on, the more likely it is

456
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: he just stays with Seattle because there is definitely a

457
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: level of interest. They've offered him a contract, and there's

458
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: familiarity and with this crazy off season stuff that that

459
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: could go a long way. I mean, the only thing

460
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: to your point, Greg, that you know it's the time

461
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: is now for players to get to places, and um,

462
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: it seems like if you want to see clowning, if

463
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: Clowney wants to be seen, that you're not waiting another

464
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: three weeks on this. That. Yeah, he sort of sat

465
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: out off seasons before a little bit in terms of

466
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: like being careful about his injuries. I believe last year

467
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: he sort of just practiced a few weeks and then

468
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: he got ready to go. By the way, Olivia Vernon

469
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: had a nice season last year. I think it's just

470
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: like the fact that he was dangled his trade bait

471
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: and everyone's little columns all on a lot of little columns. Well, no,

472
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: because it's like, now we're at the point this is

473
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: normally when we were getting real news and real information,

474
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: and some of the stuff that we're generating feels like,

475
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: didn't I just write this three weeks ago, or for

476
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: the third time this year, it's like, please, all right,

477
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: in uh, I'm glad you got that off your chest.

478
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: In the other duds, the Kansas City Chiefs have a

479
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: head coach, Andy Reid, who's one of the best in

480
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: the sport. He's coming off finally his first super Bowl

481
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: title at sixty two years old. You would think, oh,

482
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: what else does he have to prove? I mean, the

483
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: guy's got a ring, he's got one of the best

484
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: resumes of any coach in the past thirty years. Well,

485
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: he's not ready to quit yet. He spoke with our

486
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: old buddy, Herbie Tiopi, who was around the NFL writer

487
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: for a couple of years and a good dude. Love

488
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: catching up with him whenever we bump into him at

489
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: league events. He spoke with Andy Reid and read, uh,

490
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: if he stays for the duration of this new mega

491
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: deal for Patrick Mahomes, it would take him almost into

492
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: his mid seventies. Is that something he would ever think about?

493
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: And he had this to say in the young seventies. Huh, listen,

494
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: I haven't got to that point mentally where I'm looking.

495
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about retirement. One of the great things about

496
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: this job is when you look forward to coming to

497
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: work and to deal with the players and coaches. I'm

498
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: lucky enough to be around good players and coaches. And

499
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: you know what, Mark, if Patrick Mahomes was my quarterback

500
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: and he was twenty four years old and uh, I'm

501
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: tracked to be one of the greatest of all time,

502
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: I'd feel pretty good about coming to work too. As

503
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: a head coach. I mean, you're Andy Reid. You have

504
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: three losing seasons since wait, you waited this long to

505
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: get a Super Bowl? Why not get three more? Four more?

506
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: I mean here here every player that says, when I

507
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: walk out of that locker room into normal life, Um,

508
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: it's different. You miss it. Andy Reid is sitting at

509
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: the precipice of what could be a legendary run here. Now,

510
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: maybe they don't win any We've seen that happen with

511
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: teams that we've touted endlessly. Twill with Andy Reid though,

512
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean I I trust this coach versus like a

513
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: coach that lucked into a Super Bowl with a great quarterback.

514
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: He is going to make this team different every year. Um.

515
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: He is the most innovative guy out there with now

516
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: with someone not Alex Smith, I mean, coach till you're eighty,

517
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: I mean people are living longer anyways, what is seventy?

518
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: What is getting retired at sixties something or sixty five?

519
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: When you got this sitting in your lap, roll with it.

520
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 1: He's got a big and he's got to take care

521
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: of himself. Big Andy the coach into his seventies is

522
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to watch the way and take care of

523
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: those knees. But I don't see any other reason. The

524
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: guy is the epitome of the football lifer. You go

525
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: all the way back to Monday Night Football in nineteen

526
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: seventy that off repeated clip of him blowing away fellow

527
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: nine year olds in the past Putton Kick Championship. Uh,

528
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: this guy loves he loves ball. He shows it in

529
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: in in the in his play call. I really think

530
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: he has sort of a joy. You don't see it

531
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: on his face all the time, but you can tell.

532
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: You know a lot of coaches they're just running, they're

533
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: running back the old plan, and their plans get a

534
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: little stale, and they say the same speeches. Andy Reid

535
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: comes up with new new plays, a new scheme, new

536
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: wrinkles every year as much as any coach in the league.

537
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: You can tell he's he's like invigorated just being a

538
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: football coach. And then having Mahomes. It's like Mahomes hasn't

539
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: even scratched the surface of what he might do. I mean,

540
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: it's like it is amazing. And the contract, which we

541
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: went over a little but we got more details in between.

542
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: To me, it's very team friendly. Ultimately, to me, Mahomes

543
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: stands out more as a player than this contract will

544
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: um compared to other great quarterbacks. So to me, that's

545
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: that just me. And yeah, they'll they'll sign another contract

546
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: in four or five years. That's just that's just how

547
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: it works. Like they'll sign it halfway through this they'll

548
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: have a little leverage. But man, it's almost all all

549
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: good and no risk in this contract for the Chiefs,

550
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: because it's just like roster bonuses that they have to

551
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: decide as they go, basically a year ahead of time.

552
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: And it's like, Okay, yeah, I'll sign up for Patrick

553
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: Mahomes every year for the next ten years at a

554
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: pretty good rate. Yeah. I thought the same thing too.

555
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: You wonder how the contract will look in five years.

556
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: But then again, the way contracts are built in the NFL,

557
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: we'll probably at that point the restructured. Anyone it, it

558
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: won't matter. So let's stop getting hung up on it.

559
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: And what's a guaranteed mechanism anyway? I don't care. Stop

560
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: telling me to care. I don't care. All right, that's

561
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. It's time to get to

562
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: the wheel. Teams hit it. Ricky wants it from his

575
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: What's up, Seth? Hey, That that got me psyched up

576
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: for the season. That was a good in That's that

577
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: felt nothing like January in Kansas City. Thank you for that.

578
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: By myself newly energized when they when they were up

579
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: twenty four nothing were you were you thinking like, Wow,

580
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: they really might do this, they really might go to

581
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: the super Bowl? Or did he not run yourself? Oh?

582
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: I let myself go there, I was. I was talking

583
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: all kinds of smack. That was it. Oh we had this.

584
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: I ignored the fact that, you know, I'd never heard

585
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: of half the guys playing in the secondary or or

586
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: the Pat Mahomes has made a business of Pemmos is

587
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: a new Tom Brady right where forever with Tom Brady,

588
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: you'd say, oh, okay, it looks like, there's no possible

589
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: way they're gonna win this game. But let's just wait

590
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: and see into the second half and and lo and

591
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: behold he did it, so so good for good for

592
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes well seth Like when you typically the way

593
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: this works is if a team is coming off a

594
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: division title and they had that nice overtime win against

595
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo and they had things start off very well against

596
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: the defending champs on the road, you would look at

597
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: the next season as Okay, that was the building block.

598
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: Now we take the next step. But is that the

599
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: vibe right now in Houston? Because, of course, and we

600
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: don't need to dwell on this because it's been covered

601
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: at nausea at this point, the DeAndre Hopkins trade, but

602
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: you have Hopkins out of town. The way that they

603
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: lost to the Chiefs really kind of suggests that they're

604
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: not even close to being at that level. Is there

605
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: a level of optimism that this team is ready to

606
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: take the next step? Um? I don't. I don't think so.

607
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure within NRG Stadium and within Bill O'Brien's you

608
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: know skull, there is, And I think the question just

609
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: becomes it's a tempestuous place it's very it's funny. Uh look,

610
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: I I saw that a couple of you guys followed

611
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: me on Twitter before I came on here, because you're

612
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: doing what good host do and you're trying to look

613
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: for information about any of my recent opinions. Yeah, no,

614
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: I added you this morning, So guilty has charged. And

615
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, Man, I I have had nothing

616
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: but fluff on there since I believe it was March

617
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: twentie when I said, all right, that's it. I'm done.

618
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: The DeAndre Hopkins trade has broken me. I'm not tweeting

619
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: about the Hopkins trade anymore. Uh. Three days prior to that,

620
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: on March seventeenth, I had said, fire Bill O'Brien today, wow,

621
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: And uh, look, I have come off from that because,

622
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: for one, it's an it's an idiotic opinion to fire

623
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien the day that the owner Cal McNair definitely

624
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: signed off on the trade of DeAndre Hopkins. But I

625
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: think that that was that was an emotional blow to

626
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: the fan base. DeAndre Hopkins is one of the guys

627
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: that the team in the fan base has been proud

628
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: of for the last few years. Is one of the

629
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: best wide receivers in the NFL, and and it felt like, Okay,

630
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: this is Bill O'Brien, with his scheming and his master plan.

631
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: He's somehow better and smarter than having DeAndre Hopkins on

632
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: the football team. And one time out of ten in

633
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: the last twenty years that a team is willingly let

634
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: go of a of a top ten wide receiver, the

635
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: offense has been good just one time out of ten

636
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: the next season. It's just it's it's not a recipe

637
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: for success any optimism. And and I've look I've Stockholm

638
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: syndrome to myself into this. I've talked my way back

639
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: into you know, being optimistic about this season. The biggest

640
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: thing is that you've got a ton of speed on

641
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: the field. Brandon Cooks um Randall Cobb, aging though he is,

642
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: is the first actual veteran slot receiver that Bill O'Brien

643
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: has had in Houston. And as much as they're trying

644
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: to emulate the New England formula of success, he's done

645
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: it that entire time with Braxton Miller, Kiki Qt all

646
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: these other guys who are just young, raw, ultimately unproductive

647
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: slot receivers. Uh. I think now what Bill O'Brien's vision

648
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: is whether it works out or not, is to have

649
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: speed all over the place. Will Fuller, Kenny Stills, that's

650
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: a lot of speed in the backfield. You've got Duke Johnson,

651
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: You've got David Johnson, who, despite not being anything like

652
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't two thousands sixteen, is still fast and slippery

653
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: as a wide as a receiver. So that's that's where

654
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: the optimism comes that Deshaun Watson still has probably the

655
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: the best selection of veteran fast receivers that he's ever had.

656
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: I want to ask you this question and number one

657
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: on I did do a little research on you. My

658
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: my grandparents lived in it. The guy. I see that

659
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: you're a Cornell guy. So I went to a lot

660
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: of Cornell games in the nineties and wonder if I

661
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: ever maybe caught you plane there, probably all over the place. Yeah,

662
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: I also noticed that a mark just getting wild at

663
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: the Cornell games in the It was a pretty good scene.

664
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: It was a pretty good scene. But the other thing

665
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: I noticed about Seth we're looking at your some research

666
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: on your Wikipedia pages says that you're descended from a

667
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: long line of farmers outside of Victor, New York. That's

668
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: the first line in your Wikipedia entry, which I find

669
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: um an intriguing way to open up that in the

670
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: in the in the personal section, or literally the opening graph.

671
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: The first thing I saw it says Pain is descended

672
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: from a long line of farmers outside of Victor, New York.

673
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: And I was like, this is the right seth Pain.

674
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: It was, Yeah, it is because if you look at

675
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: his Twitter profile, he was drooling over one of those

676
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: machines that picks up the haystacks or whatever the hell's

677
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: going on out there on farms. I will ask you

678
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: a football question, though, um you. I don't want to

679
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: corner you with that one. But the long line of

680
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: farmer things, that is true. It is a weird thing

681
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: to have is your first line in a Wikipedia page.

682
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: But that's been there for like twenty five years. So

683
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: one of one of my twenty seven cousins in Farmingtoner, Victor,

684
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: New York, has kept that alive, and I've gone in,

685
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: I've had my listeners go in and edit that. Like

686
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: usually before every Super Bowl, I'll have our listeners go

687
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: and turn it into like I'm a five time All Pro,

688
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: three times Super Bowl champion, because that gets you a

689
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: lot of attention, right, on radio road. They just want

690
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: the guys that have to bling and uh yeah so

691
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: I but but I did. I I bought a hay

692
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: bine last week and uh it was a big, first

693
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: actual piece of farm machinery I've ever owned. I'm returning by.

694
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't even what does it do. It's if you're

695
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: in the city, you've got a big building right behind you,

696
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: then this is I'm actually up in my in laws

697
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: hometown of only in New York. So that was that

698
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: was a skyscraper in eighteen seventy three. Um, yeah, so yeah,

699
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: I come from a family of farmers. What was the

700
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: question mark? Well, then I was just gonna Bill O'Brien topic,

701
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: because you know Bill O'Brien, I mean I I see

702
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: him as a I think it's a good game day coach.

703
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: And for all the Bill O'Brien critique, you know he

704
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: Larry Tunsel for the expensive cost to attached to that,

705
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: he did help that line a lot. You look at

706
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: some of the things that he's done, and I can

707
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: approve of some. I don't I found on others, but

708
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: I do wonder because I think Bill O'Brien also in

709
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: a in a very interesting offseason was one of the

710
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: most outspoken coaches to say I'm gonna kneel with my players.

711
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: He didn't hesitate or wait to see what anyone else

712
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: said inside that locker room. For a guy that stripped

713
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins out of there, you know, probably caused a

714
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: lot of internal having on a skill of one to

715
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: tend like, how popular is he with Texans players right now?

716
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a that's a really interesting question

717
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: because I think, you know, even though we were joking

718
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: about it earlier, I think Bill O'Brien is a complex dude.

719
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's very bright, but he's also very

720
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: impulsive at times. You know, multiple times he's benched his

721
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: starting quarterback on the first game of the season. Uh,

722
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: and you know he went for it on fourth when

723
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: he shouldn't have, and he didn't go for it on

724
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: fourth when he should have in that Kansas City playoff game.

725
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: I think within the team, I think he's like a

726
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: lot of NFL head coaches. It's that some guys like him.

727
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: Some guys could do without him. Brandon Brooks famously said

728
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: that he didn't want to play football anymore when he

729
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: was playing for the Texans, Deshaun Watson great player too,

730
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: you know, he turned off some great players. Yeah. Yeah,

731
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: And and sometimes you wonder, Okay, when trades like the

732
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins trade or the Jeneveon Clowney trade go through,

733
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: how much of that is a calculated general manager decision

734
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: versus a head coach who's acting as a general manager

735
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: and just wants to get rid of a problem as

736
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: fast as possible. So I think that's a complicated question.

737
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: I think the biggest the biggest thing that you have

738
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: to be concerned about is how does Deshaun Watson feel

739
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: about Bill O'Brien. And Deshaun Watson has been very complimentary

740
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien. He says that that's his guy. He's he

741
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: loves that man. He said, he literally used the word

742
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: loves that man. Um. But I think Deshaun also reportedly

743
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: only wants a three year contract extension. Pat Mahomes wants

744
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: to spend the rest of eternity in Kansas City. Patahomes

745
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 1: wants to be buried in either Missouri or Kansas whichever

746
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: one you choose. Their Yeah, he signed a ridiculous contract

747
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: that basically gives Kansas City the right to franchise tag

748
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: him for ten consecutive years, and Deshaun's not wanted do that,

749
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: So I think it's very much right now. Of Okay,

750
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: Deshaun right now is good for at least three wins

751
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: over replacement in any given year. You know, he takes

752
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien from me in a seven and nine coach

753
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: to its ten and six coach at least, and perhaps

754
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to make a truly genuine long term

755
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: commitment until he really figures out what is Bill O'Brien

756
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: and and Tim Kelly the new offensive coordinator, what can

757
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: they really do for me? I I think the offense

758
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: is going to be fine. That's why I think DeAndre

759
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: was it was a crazy trade, especially because David Johnson

760
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: was a big part of it. But I'm not that

761
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: worried about their receiver corps who who you talked about, Like,

762
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about their passing game because of

763
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and the receiver carps. I think their offense

764
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: will be good because it's always pretty good even when

765
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: he had case Kdum. Bill O'Brien can cook up a

766
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: pretty good offense. I'm worried about their defense. I mean

767
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: that's the reason they lost the a f c uh,

768
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, playoff game against the Chiefs, And there's I

769
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: look at it and and maybe what is going to

770
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: be better? You know, you you're a defensive lineman, maybe

771
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: if you have a lot the whole season, that obviously

772
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: helps a lot. But I look at the defense and

773
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: the secondaries more or less the same, and I don't

774
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: see a lot of pass rush. You know, they gave

775
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: Merciless a lot of money and he was okay in

776
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: terms of his path. Do you think the defense is

777
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be competitive enough too for them to actually

778
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: be a real deal contender? Right? And that's I guess

779
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: competitive enough would be the key phrase, because they weren't

780
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: competitive at all, especially in terms of pass rush. When J. J.

781
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: Watt went down last year, the pass rush really plummeted.

782
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: I think that the key they're one of the big

783
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: keys is gonna be Anthony Weaver at the new defensive coordinator.

784
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: And I think Anthony who played in Baltimore for Rex

785
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: ryan Um, who coached in Buffalo with Mike Petton, I

786
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a bit more creative and

787
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: a bit more aggressive than Romeo Cornell. And if you

788
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: think about some of the things that the Ravens defense,

789
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: which still has a lot of those same elements. You know,

790
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens defense is kind of stayed the same. Think

791
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: about the Ravens defense this year where Matt Judon had

792
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: a hell of a year, but a lot of that

793
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: was because they they manufactured one on one's form. They

794
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: figured out ways to get him opportunities. I think that

795
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: Anthony is going to be more creative with that. And

796
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: then you're right though, when it comes to the secondary,

797
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: Bradley Roby showed signs of being like good Radley Roby.

798
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: You know, Bradley Roby has these like ye on again

799
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 1: offing in years. Um, the secondary has some potential between

800
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: Gary and Conley, Bradley Roby, all these former first rounders

801
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: they brought in. But really I think it's gonna be

802
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: on Anthony Weaver to scheme their way to being a

803
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: more respectable defense. What makes the hay Bonds so important. Okay,

804
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: so this is what you do, Dan and Dan by

805
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: the way, UM, I don't know if you're gonna take

806
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: this as a compliment or an insult. I mean it

807
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: is a genuine compliment. You could be a radio host

808
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: you do a really really good job running point on

809
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and and and for whatever, for whatever

810
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: it's worth, if if it ever goes south for you

811
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: here or anywhere else, I think you've got a future

812
00:41:55,400 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: in that. If you be a compliment. Well know what,

813
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: this show is gonna go down probably no, no, no,

814
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: no no. You know this sports radio, the hot take

815
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: stick and all that stuff, it's not It doesn't always

816
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: have the best reputation. I will and I'll say that

817
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: despite your clear disdain for former athletes in the media.

818
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: Um but I can look past that. And that's not

819
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: a shot. That's not a shot. Um but no, they

820
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: mind mind you cut the hay, then Hey Ray comes

821
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 1: through and puts it into windrows, and then Hey Balor

822
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: puts it into bails and throws it into a wagon,

823
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: and then off you go. What are you doing? You? Um?

824
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: I was? I bought that. I'm I'm kind of a

825
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: half part time farmer with my father in law, So

826
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: I bought it, and I planned to never actually operate that.

827
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: I'm never doing manual labor again. I'm committed to that.

828
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: Oh I shouldn't have said that. Now I'm gonna get fired. Crap,

829
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on the farm. I'm gonna be on

830
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: a farm tomorrow. It feels like something I would hire

831
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: someone to do. I don't think I would be trusted

832
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: with that piece of equipment exactly. That's uh, that's that's

833
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: I plan. He's a man's man. Seth see pain as

834
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: I said, the co host of the morning show on

Speaker 1: hydrated that son be brutal this time of year. You

838
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, I know nothing about farming, but I

839
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: just send right this time of year down where you are.

840
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: The kalyus is on my hands. Can you see them

841
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: through the computer screen. It's amazing. And Dan, Dan, okay,

842
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: see how I feel bad? That was a genuine compliment.

843
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: I really I like I think you know it was

844
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: that you Did you say that I didn't like athletes

845
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: that were have become analysts or was it our show? No?

846
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: You know what you don't like and I agree with

847
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: you on this. It's it's athletes who think they're funnier

848
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: than they are. Um because they kind of get the

849
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: press corps laughter. So they tell us tramulti joke and

850
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: then they and I feel like, because because you're a

851
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: funny guy, I feel like you kind of get offended.

852
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes you'll have a much better joke. You don't get

853
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: to have everything, Like I didn't get the body of

854
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: a Greek god. I didn't get to get rich playing sports.

855
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: You don't get to be funny too, all right, yeah,

856
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: but you're funnier than those guys. So it's I'm living

857
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: with this this anger inside me that I can't get

858
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: out well. And my takeaways, my takeaways, you don't feel

859
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: that Greg and I belong in radio or maybe even

860
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 1: in the spots that we're in. I'll be thinking about

861
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: that for the next seven or I knew it circled

862
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: back that way, and I anticipated that coming up, and

863
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: partly because I wanted to be subject to to Sessler's

864
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: kind of can't take chrousness. I'm a big fan of

865
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 1: this podcast. I was up all night nervous about it

866
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: was like my first game in the NFL that I

867
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: was gonna be on this podcast with you guys. Do

868
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: you ever hear about Randall McDaniel's routine the night before

869
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: the game? Random McDaniel, not the player Randall McDaniel Hall

870
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: of Famer, right, Hall of fame, offensive lineman. He would

871
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: stay up all night drinking coffee. The night before the game.

872
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: He would like drink, like drinking entire pot of coffee,

873
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: then eat a bunch of candy bars, and then go

874
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: wreck shop with a jan Kiss stance that he had

875
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: that didn't make any sense at all, as almost impossibly

876
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: still alive. Randal mccannon driving. All right, so thank you, buddy.

877
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: We really appreciate it. You killed it and we'd love

878
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: to have you on again down the road. Oh my pleasure.

879
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. There he goes to great seth Pain and

880
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: a great name too. You know, I you're a defensive

881
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: you have to be a defensive lineman. If you're a

882
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: farmer with the last name of Pain, you're down in

883
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: Houston where they had the old House of Pain. I mean,

884
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: he came a little bit along after that, but it

885
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: would have been perfect had he been about ten years younger.

886
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: I guess I'm like falling into my old throwback podcast

887
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: habits when immediately was like no House of Pains from Boston. Anyway.

888
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: All right, before we say goodbye, it's time to welcome

00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: much during his time away from the show, and uh

892
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: with the great link Westling joining the world. Chris Westling,

Speaker 1: I forgot what you looked like it we look better

896
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: or worse than you? Better? Shocking, sucking you all look better.

897
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: Dan's got something to blow, some kind of tan. Greg's

898
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: got this jawline thing going on and trapped muscles that

899
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: I don't remember. And Mark looks about ten years younger.

900
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Wow, buttering us up? West? What is

901
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: going on with the trap us here? What? I don't know.

902
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's talking about, but I like it.

903
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,959
Speaker 1: What am I gonna do? Argue? What am I gonna

904
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: It's like that fourteen year old picture he has with

905
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: the long hair and he's in the band and he's

906
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: got these outrageous trap muscles. Maybe maybe it's Tennis haven't

907
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: playing a lot more. Maybe Tennis really works on those tracks.

908
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: I think Western specifically speaking to a broadcast where the

909
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: lighting in Greg's um studio. If you want to call.

910
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: That room was darkened and he had a I mean,

911
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 1: according to people on Twitter, latino esque like look to him.

912
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: You did not look like he looked like you were

913
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: from Uh. I don't know. Remember those old Barbara remember

914
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: those old Barbara Walters specials from the eighties. And it

915
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: had that weird filter that made Barbara look about thirty

916
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: years younger. And the guest it was very flattering. I

917
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: think Greg got the filter great. He does have a

918
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: new background since last time I've been on. Yeah, it

919
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: has all right. I also put a little picture of

920
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: myself and my brother as I noticed that too. That

921
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: is that you and your brother? Well, that'll be on Friday.

922
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I want I want deem to see.

923
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: I want to send a little picture that there you are, buddy.

924
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: You made it about you, very weird about you. I

925
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: just spent some time with my brother Kevin Danger and

926
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: you forget about um how much you missed your family

927
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: and you're not with him. Chris Westling, You're like family

928
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: to us. What's going on with you, buddy? Well? I

929
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: planned on being back sooner, but um, like a week

930
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: before Link was born, I went in for my regular

931
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: CT scan and it showed some uh lymph note activity

932
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: at my abdominal cavity, so uh they arranged for a

933
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: PET scan about a month later, and UM, about three

934
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago, my doctor told me that I've got another

935
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: pretty serious fight on my hands. Cancer has returned UM

936
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: in my abdominal cavity and several places on my skeleton.

937
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: They are eminem sized lesions. UM. So my doctor is

938
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: telling me that we've got the luxury of time because

939
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: we caught it early. So UM, starting hopefully late this

940
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: week early next week, I'll be doing a combination of

941
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 1: chemotherapy and targeted therapy UM for a month and then

942
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: another month of treatment, so two months total, and then

943
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna run some scans and hopefully it will be

944
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: last time where we find out the cancer has been

945
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: obliterated and I can get back to a normal quality

946
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: of life and continuing to um be with my lovely

947
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: wife and my son. Mhmm, yeah. Thinking about like the

948
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: timing finding that out like a week before you know,

949
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: Lincoln was coming at You know, it's tough. Obviously when

950
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: you first told us that it took it took the

951
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: air out of our sales for a bit. But just

952
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: just seeing how Keisha response and how this this baby

953
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: and have been over there a couple of times quickly

954
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: just outside just how you guys are. It hasn't slowed

955
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: your glow, you know, I mean like and especially Keisha,

956
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: you said it to me West, I don't think your

957
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: mind sharing just when when times are tough, she's even

958
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: more positive, she's even um more of a rock and

959
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: and helping and and looking at all the blessings you

960
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: guys have, uh in life, which is just you know,

961
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: amazing and as a friend, Uh, you know, I'm I'm

962
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm sad that you have to go through this battle again,

963
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm happy. I'm happy she's alongside with you,

964
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: and I know you're gonna you're gonna be great, and

965
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: you've got us, and you've got you've got the listeners

966
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: to who I know sent you a lot of support

967
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: to the first time around. Well, it's a it's a

968
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: hell of a brutal fight. And well I like to

969
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: say that I've got the best corner man in the

970
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: business with Keisha. She's um tougher than I am. And

971
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: we had a good cry when we found out. But

972
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,439
Speaker 1: then immediately it's like okay, now, it's time to fight,

973
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: and you mentioned the listeners. I know this from experience.

974
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: You do not get through something like this without love

975
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: and support from other people. It brings you down spiritually, psychologically,

976
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: and you have to have a positive attitude. You have

977
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: to live in the present because you can't. You can't

978
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: decide that your best moments are over um, and you

979
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: can't decide that the future is scary. So you live

980
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: in the present. And the listeners help me do that. Yeah,

981
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: and West, I mean that is Keisha's superpower and we

982
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: saw that firsthand, and you lived at first hand the

983
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: first time around. And I mean I think experience shows

984
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: everyone here and anyone listening that I learned. I learned

985
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: a lot from you, um the first the first battle

986
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: that you that you went through. And I really and

987
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean this, I don't think I know of anyone

988
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: who exhibited more strength, UM in the face of it.

989
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: And so I know you can do it again. I

990
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: think everyone else does. To UM, keep your spirits up

991
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: and don't be afraid to ask us to help in

992
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: any way or just to listen, because UM, you know

993
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: we're here for you until until through the whole thing.

994
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 1: That's all I can say is that as friends will

995
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: just will be with you the whole way. Yeah, it

996
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: is such a great support system that you have behind you,

997
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: and Keisha's right at the front, and I just know

998
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: you and um, what a fight are you? R Wes,

999
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: And you also have all the this is this is

1000
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: obviously a different type of fight in terms of the cancer.

1001
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 1: You've been through this before and I know that you're

1002
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: I would imagine part of what made it so scary

1003
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: the first time was the unknown of it all. And

1004
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: and it's I mean, it's stopped me in my tracks

1005
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: when you sent us the text a couple of weeks

1006
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: ago that this had come back. Um, but yeah, I

1007
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: think cancer doesn't know that was the cancer made a

1008
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 1: bad decision to come back on you. Because it's gonna

1009
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: get its ask kicked again and we're gonna celebrate just

1010
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: like we did the last time. And I can't wait

1011
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: for that. I miss you, guys. I know not everyone

1012
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: has great friends in the world, you know, And the

1013
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: value of true friends is it's up there among the

1014
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: things I cherished most in life, and I'm I'm thankful

1015
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: for it. Well, Plus you don't have to we we

1016
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: do love you and you are getting out of having

1017
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: to talk about like alleviate Vernon's contract restructure in the

1018
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,479
Speaker 1: middle of a global pandemic. So there's some bright side

1019
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: for you. That is a bright John Robinson West just

1020
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,720
Speaker 1: so you know, uh, wants to sign Jadavan Colannie maybe

1021
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: to the Titans, but he wants to get a look

1022
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: at him in the facility before doing that. That was

1023
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: that was my pairing back in March. I mean, this

1024
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 1: fight isn't going to take his love for the Titans

1025
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: less West Nail. It takes parishute in and nail it

1026
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: takes Yeah, alright, West, Well, well, I'm sure the the

1027
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 1: listeners appreciate your candor and this. That was the other

1028
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: thing that I was so impressed and um by the

1029
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: first time, was that how open you were about the battle.

1030
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: And um it takes a special person to be that open. Uh,

1031
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 1: it's almost it's equality in you that I've always envied,

1032
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: how open you are with people. So you're gonna get

1033
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: an outpouring of support like did last time, and uh,

1034
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: you know it's coming from us too, So it's gonna

1035
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: be a wave wave of positivity coming down at west

1036
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: manor I'm already tired of like stretching the truth and

1037
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 1: off you skating what's going on when people send me

1038
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: d m s on Twitter and on Instagram where you've been,

1039
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: and it's like, I want to tell you, but I'm

1040
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: not there yet. I want to know more about what

1041
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm fighting before I tell people when I'm fighting. My

1042
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: doctors are they're optimistic that I'll be back in remission

1043
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,320
Speaker 1: within a couple of months, and I hope so too. Um,

1044
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to be back on this podcast within a

1045
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: week or two. Um, Shadowy League HR figures have kept

1046
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: me away from just joining it, you know, for ten

1047
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: minutes here, a half an hour there, which I'd like

1048
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: to be doing in the last month and a half,

1049
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: but it's against the rules, so I haven't been able

1050
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 1: to do it. I like to see that you're still

1051
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: battling entities and um, you know, authority figures within the

1052
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: NFL media realm. That's that's says you're not you're fighting,

1053
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: You're not done fighting. Hopefully in a few months, I

1054
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: can say they'll never tell a two time cancer survivor

1055
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: to wear a stupid lanyard. I'm just gonna ask you

1056
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: if if the hospital makes you were a Laniard tail.

1057
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: The man does not wear lanyards. And that's final, it's

1058
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: not happening. Well, I love you to love you, buddy,

1059
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: and and spend that time with Lakeisha and Link and uh,

1060
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,720
Speaker 1: hopefully the Reds come back in a couple of weeks

1061
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 1: and your treatments gone well and away we go. Hopefully

1062
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: the baseball season means something, because that would be nice

1063
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: to take my mind off at things. And I won't

1064
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: even bring up the fact that there's gonna be a

1065
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: d H in the National League because you don't need more.

1066
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we don't just just labeled a slow

1067
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: pitch softball, just relabeling game. I'm miss up. Plus you

1068
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: gotta get better for that too. We gotta get back

1069
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 1: on the softball field. I gotta get you out of retirement.

1070
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: But there's another roadblock there as well. Now loved. There

1071
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: he goes the great Chris Westling. And yes, that is

1072
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: the uh the update, like I had mentioned a couple

1073
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, West of Texas has just let us know.

1074
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: And obviously it's something that you know, took the wind

1075
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: out of our sales, and you know, quite Frank, and

1076
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: I know I'm not alone in on this that the

1077
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks of doing the show has been

1078
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:07,760
Speaker 1: not great. It's been kind of knowing that the unknown

1079
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: of it all and that the West is sick and

1080
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: not feeling well. It's you know, the show is not

1081
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: whole when he's not there, and to know that he's

1082
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: in this tough situation. It's been very tough, tough sledding,

1083
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: but just seeing him just now and hearing and knowing

1084
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: he's optimistic and getting great treatment with a great support

1085
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 1: system that that makes that makes your day. It's been

1086
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: it's been like an off season of compartmentalizing and this

1087
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: I agreed, Dan is sort of the toughest that you know,

1088
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: you gotta put that to the side and you know,

1089
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: pretend that uh, you know, some camp battle is you know,

1090
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: really is meaningful in the scheme of things in the

1091
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 1: middle of a pandemic and our friends going through this,

1092
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: but we we know, we know it's not we know

1093
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,399
Speaker 1: it's entertainment. We know it's fun. Doesn't mean you don't

1094
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: take our our jobs seriously and that like we're grateful

1095
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: to have it, but it's also you know, a reminder

1096
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: of of where it is in the scheme of things.

1097
