Speaker 1: John middlecop Three and Out Podcast. Back at it again

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Thursday night about five fifteen Pacific Standard time. I waited

14
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: until the schedule just was released. It was, and then

15
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: I realized it was all right, I'm gonna break down

16
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: every schedule or go through every game. I'm not sure

17
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: quite why I waited. I mean, I wanted to have

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: a general sense, and I got a pretty good idea

19
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: of a couple of things I want to hit on

20
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: the schedule. But if you're a Bengal fan, if you're

21
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: a Cowboy fan, if you're an Eagle fan, I'm not

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: going to game by game. We're not doing that exercise here.

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Maybe in the summer when there's not much going on,

24
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: but but tonight. I have a couple just kind of

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: big picture thoughts on the schedule. I'm gonna focus on

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: week one, especially the primetime games. Everyone has to play

27
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game, so it's not like you can't

28
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: avoid it, and you only got to do it once,

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: so you kind of gotta rotate it. But to me,

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: the story is this is an Amazon Bezos. I know

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: Bezos technically retired. He's off running the world with Lawrence Sanchez,

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: but he's still the largest single shareholder in the company

33
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: and obviously has a lot of pull. But Amazon's involved.

34
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: It's something that's gonna be a big deal moving forward.

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: They clearly want to sell him a team and don't

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: sleep on a bald guy with a lot of money

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: wanted to get involved in the NFL. But some thoughts

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: on Tom Brady. I haven't talked to everyone since Tom

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: Brady officially became the next Troy Aikman, Chris Collinsworth, Kirk

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Herb Street and he's gonna go into a media career.

41
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: No one had a shorter No one hated forty day

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: retirement more than forty four year old Tom Brady. He

43
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: basically hated it so much he signed another contract after

44
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: he was going to retire from football. I appreciate the

45
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: grinder's mentality. And then the two of video that when

46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: got a viral. Have a couple thoughts there. We'll have

47
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: Middlecoff mail bag at John Middlecoff over the weekend. I

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: have so many questions. I might do another one on Monday. Well,

49
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: I already got something. Yeah, I'm ready for Monday's pod,

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: but for maybe Tuesday's pod. And a lot of you

51
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: guys get mad at me. You're like, where's my question?

52
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Is my question so terrible? I do not have a

53
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: secretary run of my dms. My dms are not full

54
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: of babes. It's just all dudes asking football questions. It's

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: hard to keep up with everything. So if I leave

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: your question out, I'm not doing it on purpose. It's

57
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: just a lot going on in there. I can't find

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: every once I try to answer everybody's question. If I

59
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: answer yours manually, sometimes we won't get read on the show.

60
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: I apologize. I appreciate everyone interacting with me on Instagram dms.

Speaker 1: ate me one star, I don't really care. And let's

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: talk a little schedule first and foremost to me, there

67
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: are gonna be a lot of random games on Sunday whatever.

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I judge you, and I judge the NFL on their

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: opener Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and this year,

70
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: because Amazon's involved, what they were going to do on

71
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football. Now, let's start with that Thursday night game.

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: We've known it for a while, or I guess we've

73
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: known it now for a couple of days. Chiefs Chargers,

74
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: no brainer, throw Bezo Sabone, Mahomes, justin Herbert Off and

75
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: running Al Michael's Herb Street. If you haven't subscribed to

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime, you're either a whack job weirdo or you're

77
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: living in a different world than me. But if you

78
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: have it, it might be time. Because no one's missing

79
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: that game. I know they, I mean, it was one

80
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: of the best games of the year last year. Those

81
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: two guys playing in LA and obviously the Chargers beat

82
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: them in Kansas City early in the season, but it's

83
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: clearly a really big deal. I mean, looking at the

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: schedule of the games that Amazon got, there is some

85
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: random matchups. I mean, there's a Jags Jets in there.

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: There's a football team Chicago, you know, because every team

87
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: has to play, so you can't just throw the Rams,

88
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: the Bills, the Niners, and the Cowboys in several of

89
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: those games, so you're gonna have to mix and match.

90
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: But I thought they did a pretty good job. There's

91
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: a Ravens Bucks, There's an Eagles Texans, which isn't great,

92
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: but then the Titans Packers. There's a Bill's Patriots. So

93
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I think they look at the Thursday night game, which

94
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: is the right mentality. Now is it's football. We love

95
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: the gamble. It's a scarcity sport. Put that bad boy

96
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: in primetime and it can be you know, it can

97
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: be Raiders Chargers or yeah, excuse me, Raiders Rams, which

98
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: is a fantastic LA West Coast game, or it could

99
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: be you know, uh, Niners Seattle, which used to be good,

100
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: but Seattle's gonna suck, and that's late in the season,

101
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: could be terrible. It doesn't really matter. We're gonna watch

102
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: high numbers and the people that bitch and moaning that

103
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: they don't have Amazon Prime, they'll have it by then,

104
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: I'll promise, and then they'll realize, damn, I get free deliveries. Yeah,

105
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: no shit. Uh. The opening game like Thursday night, the

106
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: true opener, that is an elite game that that's to me.

107
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: You could argue you don't because you know, listen, I

108
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: didn't want to see Rams Niners. That that would probably

109
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: be the best just given the rivalry, but you don't

110
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: want to blow you know, your wad right off the

111
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: right off the jump right, So throw them an inner dividu,

112
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, out of conference type game. Get them the

113
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: best out of conference opponent, the Bills, no brainer. Josh

114
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: Allen defending champs Sofi Stadium. Incredible. That is a fantastic,

115
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: let me repeat, fantastic way to start the season. And

116
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, if you're the Rams, like, good luck defending,

117
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: you get Josh Allen and the Bills. And if you're

118
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: the Bills, like you just lost an absolute one of

119
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: one of the most gut wrenching losses in the history

120
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: of the league. You got forty million people on their

121
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: couches looking to looking to watch that game and gambling

122
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: on it. Let's go. I'm already excited for that game.

123
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: And the thing is, when the schedule release comes, the

124
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 1: season feels so far away. But as you get older,

125
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: anyone you know in their thirties, time flies that that

126
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: Week one game is going to be here before we

127
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: know it. Sunday Night Football. This is, let's face it,

128
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football is the number one show in America.

129
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Think about that. The number one show in America is

130
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 1: Alan Chris. But now it's not Alan Chris, it's Tarrico

131
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: and Chris. And Tarrico's a big game guy, right Monday

132
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: Night Football forever with John Gruden. So to me, you

133
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: come out swinging in this game. It's why historically, when

134
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: I think Sunday Night Football, Week one, the game that

135
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: usually used to happen, Eli manning Cowboys, it was just

136
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys Giants, Cowboys giants. You get the biggest market in

137
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: America and the biggest brand in the league, and it

138
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: was an easy one. But then the Giants started sucking,

139
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: so you had to throw that thing out. You're gonna

140
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: go Cowboys. If I was running NBC and you said

141
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: give me the first team, the Cowboys would be my pick.

142
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: I would want the Dallas Cowboys. And then you go,

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: who who's on their schedule? Who could the second best

144
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: opponent be? If we got Dallas, the Rams have already

145
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: been used and the Bills have already been used. Well,

146
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: I would take Tom Brady over the Bills in the ramps.

147
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: So you get the biggest brand in the league, the

148
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys as a team, and then you get the biggest

149
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: most famous individual in the league, Tom Brady. You put

150
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: it on Sunday Night and you let fifty million people watch.

151
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: That is how it's done, folks. That's pretty easy. That

152
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: is that game's pretty damn good. And then for Monday Night.

153
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: I give them credit on this one because Denver last year,

154
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: if you think about it, when Tom was gonna return

155
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: to New England, they had to be careful about where

156
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: they put that game because they wanted it to be

157
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: a really big deal. But the Patriots were just coming

158
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: off a pretty rough season right with Cam Newton. They

159
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: were seven and nine, and then you know when the

160
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: schedule was being done right after the draft. We didn't know.

161
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: You know, the Patriots just acquired mac Jones. You thought,

162
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, they could be more competitive. But there's no guarantee.

163
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: You can't risk putting that game late October, early November.

164
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: The Patriots could have been out of it. So what

165
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: did they do? They put it week four Sunday Night Football,

166
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: and it worked and it felt big. I remember Washington

167
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: thinking this is sweet. Well, this is different because Russell

168
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: only one Super Bowl, but he's the best player in

169
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: the history of the franchise and they just traded him. Now,

170
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: he kind of demanded a trade. He'll never admit to that,

171
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: but let's face it, he did, and Pete was cool

172
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: with it. He capitulated because he was tired of him.

173
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: It was a healthy divorce. I would say the majority

174
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: of divorces, like there are the divorces where you get

175
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: caught cheating on him, or where you just come out

176
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: of nowhere and say, I don't like you anymore. But

177
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine the percentage of divorces where you don't

178
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: like me, I don't like you, Let's go our separate ways.

179
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: And it's not never as easy as that happen. Is

180
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: the majority of times people break up and get a

181
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: divorce like this is not working out, and that to me,

182
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: what Russell and Pete is the problem is is that

183
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: Russell is still good and Seattle and Pete don't really

184
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: have a quarterback. They have Drew Locke, who he keeps

185
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: telling us would have been drafted really high in this

186
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: past draft, which maybe would have three years ago. But

187
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: its two twenty two, Buddy. I like coming out the

188
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: gates with this game because I think, you know, battle,

189
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna be awful. I think there's a decent chance

190
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Seattle is competing to be the worst team in the

191
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: league when three or four games because their quarterback play

192
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be that shitty. So you get Russell Wilson

193
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: going there and it's explosion. You know their fans are fantastic. Well,

194
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: when your team's bat on the West Coast in any sport, Lakers,

195
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: the Seattle, the Niners, the Dodgers, the Giants mid season,

196
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: when you're out of it, people stop caring. Well, week

197
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: one in football, everyone is alive. We all have the

198
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: same record. So you get the best effort out of

199
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: the twelves, you get an incredible just ovation for Russell,

200
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: and you get a game that honestly could be one sided,

201
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: but at least that moment just carries us for that

202
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: game and you open up with Buck Aikman, and it

203
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: feels really big because while they don't do many Denver

204
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: Bronco games, they're very, very comfortable with Russell Wilson the player.

205
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: They've been calling his games forever in Seattle and then

206
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: Seattle like the back of their hand. They've been calling

207
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: Seattle games for eight straight years. So it's a pretty

208
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: it's a baby bat fastball for them, which feels pretty big.

209
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: Now as of recording this, I haven't I know because

210
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: ABC and they're now in the player or the Super

211
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: Bowl mix that they're doing this double header a week two.

212
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: I don't really understand why you got to do that, right,

213
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: Why you're doing two games on Monday night football week two.

214
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily have done that, but whatever, I'm not

215
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: running these networks. I also think that for the first

216
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: time in a while, because I've known Riddick for a

217
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: long time, but that boot did not work. You can't

218
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: have three men. Three men boosts do not work. Help

219
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: the majority of two men boosts don't work because most

220
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: analysts stink that they bore us. We always talk shit

221
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: about them because they're not any good. They're very forgettable.

222
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: The amount of even you know, people say what you want,

223
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: like Troy Aikman and Chris Collinsworth are two of the

224
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: better guys in the league by a wide, wide margin.

225
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: But like the historic guys like John Madden or John Gruden,

226
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: there's not that many of them, right. So ESPN has

227
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: been waiting a long time since John left them to

228
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: just kind of get some credibility back. And I do

229
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: believe like ultimately Thursday Night Football and they've had Fox

230
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: and they've had NFL Network, Like they've had a lot

231
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: of different people call it over the years. I remember

232
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: when I was in the NFL, I think Mike Mayock

233
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: called the games. I do think Thursday Night Football while

234
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: it's become much more I don't know if mainstreams the

235
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: right way to put it, but just it's become normalized,

236
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: like we're just used to but you can kind of

237
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: put anyone, you know, it's it's we've had all week

238
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: we're just kind of looking for Friday, the average guys

239
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: just getting ready for the weekend. You could have me

240
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: you call in the game and we'd be cool with it.

241
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: I do think Monday Night Football is a pretty big

242
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: deal still, and maybe I'm a little nostalgic, but you

243
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: build up all week and then you have Sunday Night Football.

244
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: Sunday Night has been Alan Chris forever and now it's

245
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: Tarico and Chris. It always feels big, the matches for huge,

246
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: and then we got to Monday Night and everyone's just

247
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: texting their buddies how terrible the broadcast is. And then

248
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: last year they kind of got weird. They added the

249
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: Manning cast and it was just it was bizarre for

250
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: the broadcast. What I think is gonna be fascinating for

251
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football this year is like Troy and Joe

252
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: buck are probably, I mean, it's two of the most successful, famous,

253
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: long tenured duos we've ever seen, yet they have programming

254
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: of the same game going against them on the same network.

255
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: Like now, clearly, if I'm Joe or Troy, I mean,

256
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: Troy just got nineteen million dollars a year, So is

257
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: he worried that Peyton Manning might steal five hundred thousand

258
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: viewers or an extra million viewers? Maybe not, but we

259
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: all got egos. We're all trying to kick ass and

260
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: take names and whatever profession you're in at the highest level,

261
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: if you have, you know, any little bit of competitive

262
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: juices to you, so it'll be interesting, you know how

263
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: that dynamic is, and ultimately I won. Or if more

264
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: people are just more inclined to just watch the Monday

265
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: night football, normal football broadcast with Joel with Buck and

266
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: Aikman right, just because it's a high level broadcast. The

267
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: one thing with Peyton Manning, which I'm sure they'll look

268
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: to improve. And I love Peyton any light. I went

269
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: to them just because I like hanging out with them.

270
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: I still will go to them. But you know, sometimes

271
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: they'll have random people on and you know, the Wi

272
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: fi will be off and they're asking each other questions

273
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: and it can just be a little herky jerky. It

274
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: can be kind of tough to consume. And you know,

275
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: if you told me, you know, week one, Monday Night

276
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: Football is Broncos Seattle, you know, I'm probably starting with

277
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: Joe and Troy. Now by the second half, if the

278
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos are up twenty four to three and it's

279
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: like God, Seattle sucks, Yeah, then I'll go Peyton and

280
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: Eli shooting the Breeze with who knows. You know, it

281
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: could be like Tiger Woods and Aaron Rodgers. You know,

282
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, they have pretty incredible guests,

283
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: but I do think that Monday and night Football's main feed,

284
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: which ultimately, in theory, should be their cash cow. I mean,

285
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: it's what most people watches. It'll be interesting to push

286
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: and pull between those two because, like I said, Thursday

287
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: Night Football. Herb Street. Now he's called NFL games before,

288
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: and I'm a big Kirk herb Street guy. Like I

289
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: thought when he took the job that it was like, oh,

290
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: he's done with you know, he's done with what's it

291
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: called college game Day. He's not gonna be No, he's

292
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: still doing all that stuff. So now it's much easier

293
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: to learn the NFL teams, Like you're calling Steelers Browns.

294
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: It's like Miles Garrett, Chase Claypool, t J Watt, right,

295
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb like you are Maori Cooper. So it's it's

296
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: easier to learn the guys on NFL teams because you're

297
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: gonna know a lot of them than it is to

298
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: learn like, oh, here's Penn State's new too deep, Like

299
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna take some time Penn State Iowa. It's like, well, shit,

300
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: I haven't called Niowa game in two years. Who's on

301
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: their team? But it's still gonna wear your thin I mean,

302
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: that's a that's a lot of learning to do. And

303
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: if you're listening, you're like, oh, it's just football. It's true,

304
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: but you still gotta it takes a lot of time

305
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: to study these teams and know what you're talking about.

306
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: His job is not just to call the game, it's

307
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: to tell you what's going on. So I will be

308
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: fascinated to watch herb Street just from a week to

309
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: week standpoint, I mean, by week four, it's like Dolphins Bengals.

310
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: Besides like Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow, Like, there're gonna

311
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: be some random guys on the Bengals. And here's the

312
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: other thing in the NFL, like you just you don't

313
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: necessarily play in the just because you played in the

314
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: Big Ten. Like half majority of those guys don't play

315
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Look at the NFL Draft. You got

316
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: guys coming. Green Bay takes a dude from North Dakota State.

317
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: There's a guy from Montana State that gets drafted in

318
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: the second round. There's a dude from Wyoming. You know,

319
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: guys from the Herb Street would never in a million

320
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: years called one of their games. And now he's gonna

321
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: have to learn. It's gonna be fascinating. If you were

322
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: looking for Atlanta Falcons game by game breakdown, you probably

323
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: came to the wrong show. And I'll get into it

324
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: as the year goes, but really, let's face it, here's

325
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: the one thing about the schedule that I think be

326
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: a little overrated is like, I just assume Seattle is

327
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: gonna suck. Well, what if they win? What if I

328
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: told you they win eight and nine? That means every

329
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: single fan that sees Seattle, every single fan that has

330
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: a decent team or above that sees Seattle on their schedule,

331
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna win, just like every team that sees you know,

332
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: half the teams now that saw Green Bay on their schedule.

333
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: With Devonte gone no offensive weapons, you're going, yeah, we

334
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: could beat them. You know were last year you might

335
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: have gone, oh that's an l And then you see

336
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: like a team like the Jags or the Jets. Every

337
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: single like if you're a fan of the Ravens of Tampa,

338
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: of the Colts of the if you play those teams.

339
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: Jags are the Jets, You're gonna win. What if I

340
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: told you that one of those two teams goes like

341
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: I said, eight nine, that means they are doubling their

342
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: win total. So like half those games last year that

343
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: you look up when you're on the couch on Sunday

344
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: afternoon and they're down thirty, they're winning that game this year,

345
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: or they're winning some of those games. So that's that's

346
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: the cool part about the NFL. We know the turnover rate.

347
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: It's not the NBA Baseball like for the most part,

348
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: the same teams in baseball go to the playoffs most

349
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: of the time. The basketball, I mean, I know they've

350
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: added the playing games, so it was changed a little bit.

351
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: But like when the season starts, we got a pretty

352
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: good idea. I Warre is gonna be good, the Suns

353
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: are gonna be good, Nuggets are gonna be good, the

354
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: Jazz are gonna be good, the Celtics are gonna be good,

355
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: the Heat are gonna be good. That's not the way

356
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: it works in football. Everyone's like, Oh, Ravens last year

357
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and they don't even make the playoffs. Browns,

358
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: this is their year. Nope, not even close. So you

359
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: just that's what's cool about the NFL. It's why the

360
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: league's on top for a lot of reasons, obviously the

361
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: scarcity of it, the way we gamble, but we just

362
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: don't know. Like if you're a Jets fan right now,

363
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 1: if I told you, you know, you guys have a

364
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: really good year and that might be eight, eight, eight,

365
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: nine or nine and eight, But if you had a

366
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: nine and eight season, can you imagine how much fun

367
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: that season would be? Like? Eventually, some of these teams,

368
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: like the Bills became the Bills, Like the first year

369
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: they were good under Josh Allen, and even he had

370
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: a long way to go, but I think they went

371
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: like nine and seven, right, some of these teams are

372
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: gonna have those years. And some of the teams, like

373
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, you know, they went from a team

374
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: that like, how good are they're gonna be the last

375
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: year win eleven games? Well, now are they eleven win

376
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: team or are they a five win team? Or they

377
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: had seven win team? To me, their variance is by

378
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: far the biggest in the league. They have a ton

379
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: of talent. If you told me they make the playoffs,

380
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: completely believe you if you told me they missed the

381
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: playoffs by three games, very believable, No freaking clue. Atlanta

382
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: Falcons stink. Carolina Panthers not gonna be any good. Titans,

383
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: they'll be solid. Are they going to be the one seed? No?

384
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: Do I expect them to make the playoffs as long

385
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: as Mike Rabels their coach. I do. Now, the AFC

386
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: is really good. Deshaun Watson, when does he get suspended?

387
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: How good? Does Matt Ryan still have something left? So

388
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: all that stuff like, it's easy to go win loss, loss,

389
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: win win, But until we actually get into the season,

390
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: we're like, oh shit, Matt Ryan is toast or damp.

391
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's got a lot left, you know. That's that's

392
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: the cool part of pro sports is the greatest realities

426
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: West Virginia. The big story of the week, beside the

427
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: schedule release, was the man that goes by the name

428
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: of Thomas Edward Brady Junior TV twelve. Tom Brady signed

429
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: with Fox to call football games and be a part

430
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: of the Fox brand when he retires, which who the

431
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: hell knows when he's gonna retire. And what's funny about

432
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: this is he actually did retire for like forty days,

433
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: And I don't think any human has hated retirement more

434
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: than Tom Brady. He retired for forty days and then

435
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: within like two months of him returning to play football.

436
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: He had signed another contract with another company to work

437
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: when he finished playing football. Grinders love to grind. Workers work.

438
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: You know, he's not like tom Brady can already play

439
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: on a golf Well, what they all else is he

440
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: gonna do? Like tom Brady's got time, he has resources

441
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: whenever he needs to go anywhere to. Tom Brady's not

442
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: a retirement type. Guys like Tom Brady don't dream of

443
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: twenty years sitting on the beach and listen, I like

444
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: sitting on the beach and I love playing golf as

445
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: much as the next guy. Unless you're Tiger Woods, you

446
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: can't do it every day. Unless you're Laired Hamilton or

447
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: Kelly Slater, you can't go to the beach every day

448
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: you want once you get older. If you're a doer,

449
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: doers like to do. So. While it was funny, it's

450
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: actually kind of understandable. Now, let's take it kind of seriously.

451
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. When I saw the headline, I was surprised.

452
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: I did not expect this, not because he's still in

453
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: the league. But if you would have told me tom

454
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: Brady had really retired he was done with football, I

455
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: wasn't the last thing he would have done is call

456
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: football games. I think you've seen. Listen, the game's changed.

457
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: You know, forever, if you wanted to listen to people

458
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: talk about sports, you had to turn on the radio.

459
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: You know. You couldn't pay me to turn on the radio.

460
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: Beside like serious and listen to Channel eighty three and

461
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Coward is the only sports show that I really listened to,

462
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: beside podcasts. Right that the game podcast and YouTube like,

463
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: the game is completely changed. Look at Man in the Arena?

464
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: Where did you find Man in the Arena? ESPN Plus,

465
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: which is a streaming service that would not have existed

466
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: ten years ago, fifteen years ago. Creators have the control,

467
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: which is awesome. I'm a creator, you know, I am

468
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: directly benefiting from the time. So are guys like Brady

469
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: and Manning, even Peyton. Right, he owns Omaha Productions. They

470
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: put on the Manning cast. He has equity and juice

471
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: in the deal. Now, the difference in this is obviously

472
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: Tom is not going to get to own Fox or

473
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: get to own the NFL broadcast rights, so they had

474
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 1: to pay him a premium. Now he has disputed because

475
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: after the initial like, oh my god, Tom Brady is

476
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: gonna call football games. I think that was most of

477
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: our reaction. He really wants to do that. Now he's

478
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: not flying Delta, he's not sitting in economy. You know,

479
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: he's not paying ten dollars for a milky Way and

480
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: a soda in the airport. The guy hasn't been outside

481
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: of a private jet hanger in fifteen plus years, so

482
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: his travels different than me and you. But it's still surprising,

483
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: you know, it's still like Romo. I mean, this is

484
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: Aikman's made more money calling games than they ever did

485
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL. So it's understandable why his generation.

486
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: Steve Young is one of the greatest players ever. He's

487
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: been on TV for fifteen years. Emmett Smith, Jerry Rice,

488
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: all these guys worked in media that the money was

489
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: so Tom Brady even though he's quote unquote underpaid as

490
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: an NFL player by his own volition, I mean, he

491
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: chose that. He's still made like two hundred and fifty

492
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: plus a million dollars just playing football, and we know

493
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: how much he's made. Often money is no problem, and

494
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: his wife's rich. He's addicted to football. He is addicted

495
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: to football. Say it all the time about Tiger Woods.

496
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: He is addicted to golf. Even Peyton Manning, who I

497
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: think is better at retirement than Tom, is addicted to football.

498
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: And you see it come out in the Manning cast.

499
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: He fucking loves it. He gets juiced up. You know.

500
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: I talked to Sean mcvah and his drive home on

501
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: Friday night. He was telling me about these covers. Can

502
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: you imagine the conversations when he's like, yeah, I was

503
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: just shooting the breeze last week with Sean Payton getting

504
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: ready for this game. Peyton always act like he doesn't

505
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: prepare and then it's like, yeah, I was just Andy

506
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: Reid and Patrick Mahomes told me last week Bade Manning

507
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: does more work then probably after the broadcasters, because he

508
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: just loves it. Football guys like talking other football guys.

509
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: Finance guys like talking other finance guys. Right, you like

510
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: talking if you like playing golf, you like talking other golfers.

511
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: You like talking to other people who like what you like.

512
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: And at the highest level of the industries, you know,

513
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning sees eye to eye with the Andy Reids,

514
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: the Josh McDaniels, Kyle Shanahan's like they're gonna have a

515
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: lot in comment, they're gonna be able to talk. Well,

516
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: don't you think Tom Brady's the same? They're cut from

517
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: the same cloth. And I wonder if Tom saw just

518
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: the you know, the positive reinforcement that Peyton was getting

519
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: from the Manning cast. He literally went on it and

520
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: it was awesome and he went, I got this in

521
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: the back. Now, you would say that Peyton Manning feels

522
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: a little more everyman, even though Peyton Manning is probably like,

523
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: not that much poorer than Tom Brady. Tom Brady, while

524
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, I would say he's a little different personality

525
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: than Peyton. He associates with higher end brands and the

526
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: fitness stuff tom Brady clearly gets along with all those teammates.

527
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady isn't every man. Now, it's gonna be very

528
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: and when you watch him. My only question, I like

529
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: my broadcasters to be okay being critical, because part of

530
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: being critical is being okay getting pushback and who gives

531
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: a shit what other people think? If you believe it,

532
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: say it. I don't like people to just make shit up.

533
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: Skip Bayliss steven A Smith, Like half the time, I

534
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: don't even think they believe what they're saying. Skip definitely

535
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: steven A. I actually met steven at one time, and

536
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: he acts exactly when you meet him in a hallway

537
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: and just start shooting the breeze with him like he

538
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: does on television. So maybe steven A actually believes it.

539
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: But you know the genre of people to talk about

540
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: sports like, they talk about things like I don't even

541
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: think you believe that. I'd rather do something else before.

542
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: I just made things up because I wanted to make

543
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: money doing this. I talk about it because I enjoy

544
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: talking about this, and I have an opinion on Tom Brady.

545
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about this because I think I

546
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: should be talking about this. I wrote down a bunch

547
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: of things that interested me about Tom, and clearly a

548
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: lot of people in this kind of medium talking about

549
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: sports fake it. Maybe less and less now in the

550
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: podcast because people have to choose to listen to you.

551
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: But the one thing I would say about Tom Brady

552
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: is in Man in the Arena, he's very raw and real,

553
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: and that's what I like. I like raw and real

554
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: and he swears. I mean, it's that content was like

555
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: made for me and I was like, God, Tom, he's

556
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: just captivating. Well, you're not able to do that on

557
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: television right on Fox on the broadcast, So you're not

558
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: gonna be able to be quite like you were in

559
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: the locker room. The other thing, and Peyton Manning said

560
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: this last year is like, I'm not getting into this

561
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: to just rip people. I don't want to do that.

562
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 1: And to me, there's a difference between just being Supernagadi

563
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: guy like Mike Francessa, who's a legend. I'm not anti

564
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 1: Mike Francessa, but over the years him and Russo they

565
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: would just be negative on everything, and that plays in

566
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: cert Philly when I lived in Philly, Mike Missing, that's

567
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: the market there. Boston. You can just be very negative

568
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: and listen if you screw something up. As a coach

569
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: or a player, it's okay to be critical. But those

570
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: guys struggle on just like basic things like that was

571
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: a terrible play call. And the fans who provide every

572
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: penny for the NFL, we're all thinking that on our couch.

573
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: So when you can speak for the fan, that's when

574
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: you become a star. Like part of the reason Tony

575
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: Romo became a star is because he knew all the plays.

576
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: Do you know what? Tony Romo no longer knows all

577
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: the plays, and now Tony to me can just like

578
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: be caught no man's land like Tony the guy. To me,

579
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: the broadcaster has gotten a little cheesy because he's not

580
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna just put the hammer down. Aikman last year got

581
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: back to his roots sometimes when a quarterback's planned like crap,

582
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: Like I'm dedicating hours out of my Sunday as a

583
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: fan to consume my team, and if they're not playing well,

584
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be mad, especially gambling. We're all in bed

585
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: with these gambling companies. Why because we're all gambling, you know.

586
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: So I got a hundred bucks on the game, I

587
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: got five hundred dollars on the game, and you start

588
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: screwing up like I'm pissed off. And Aikman would get

589
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: into people, especially coaches, And if you're not willing to

590
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: do that, it's hard to be a great announcer. So

591
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: I think Tom, because Tom, you better believe behind closed doors,

592
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: they talk a ton of shit. You know. He blasts

593
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: other players and coaches. We're all humans, we're all the same.

594
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: Is he willing to do that on air? And I

595
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I hope he is, but I think it's

596
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: gonna be very, very tough, because the hard thing that

597
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to overcome is, let's just say he's

598
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: let's just you to a hypothetical here, Tom Brady. You know,

599
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: one twenty five, Fox is calling Cowboys Packers in two

600
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: years and it's Rogers versus Dak, and they're both five

601
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: and ozho and Dak has a terrible game, and he goes,

602
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think Dak's that good, you know,

603
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: watching this season, I know they're undefeated coming into this game,

604
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: but I think it's because of the defense and the

605
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: running game, and I think Dak's pretty overrated. Can you

606
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: imagine if he said something like that, even though if

607
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: like a lot of people were thinking that, or like

608
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: I think that Aaron Rodgers is slipping. My point is

609
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: everything Tom Brady says every single thing, Like Chris Collinsworth,

610
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: can be critical of someone and we talk about it

611
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: that night when we're watching the game on Twitter, but

612
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: it's not a story the next day. Those first couple

613
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: of years, every single thing Tom says, specifically about head

614
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: coaches and quarterbacks are going to be the headline the

615
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: next day. Tom Brady thinks Mike McCarthy is not a

616
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: good play caller. Tom Brady thinks, you know, Trevor Lawrence

617
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: is better than Andrew luck Well, whatever his comments, they

618
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: are immediate headlines. They are guys like me. Damn, did

619
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: you see what Tom Brady said. That's just that's just

620
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: a fact. So I think it's gonna be tough, you know,

621
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very, very challenging, you know,

622
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Can you believe what Tom Brady said about

623
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: his relationship with Belichick towards the end on air. Now,

624
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's willing to do that. Like

625
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning has not got remotely close to doing any

626
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: of that, even though they're all they all have the

627
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: stories and they're all have the thoughts and the opinions.

628
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: So I'm fascinated to see how that goes. But I

629
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: do think that Peyton Manning and Tom Brady were like

630
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: Burden Magic right, they were rivals. Now unlike Burden Magic Bird,

631
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, they want to combine what eight finals? Tom,

632
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: you know almost four xt Peyton, right, he's got seven.

633
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: Peyton's got too, I mean he almost has four times

634
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: as many, so the gap is much bigger. But still,

635
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: like when you think Peyton, you think Brady, and when

636
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: you think Brady, you think his contemporary was Peyton. And

637
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're equals, Like obviously Tom's better, but

638
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He can't tell me that

639
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: the Manning cast and Peyton's places didn't inspire Tom. I

640
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: mean the man in the arena I think is inspired.

641
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: And that's cool, Like sometimes you need inspiration from your contemporary,

642
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: from your rivals, from your competition brings out the best.

643
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: If pay If it took Peyton Mannon getting into TV

644
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: to then drop Tom Brady into TV, that's pretty cool. Now,

645
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: big picture, do I think Tom Brady is going to

646
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: be on television for twenty five years like Troy Aikman,

647
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: I do not. I mean the rumors I think aren't

648
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: just rumors. I think there's some validity behind it that

649
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: he is going to be involved when this guy takes

650
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: over for Ross in Miami with the Dolphins. Now, I

651
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: don't know the rules. Could you have an owner be

652
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: calling games? Fox has the NFC, not the AFC, but

653
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: there are some crossover games. Maybe you could, but I

654
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: would imagine my gut. I've never met Tom Brady. I've

655
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: seen him play live a couple of times it was cool. Obviously,

656
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm just a fan of Tom. I admire, I admire

657
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: anyone who has You can be like, well, they gave

658
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy five million. Yeah, do you know

659
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: how many millions he's got in the bank. You know,

660
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: why why is he doing this? Because he likes to work.

661
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: He likes to grind. And I think it's so easy

662
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: to be like, well, it's just so easy when you're

663
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: getting paid that much. No, it's not. Once you have

664
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: an unlimited money, most people would not keep working because,

665
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 1: let's face it, most people don't like what they do.

666
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: Tom first and foremost the reason Tom's so great. He

667
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: loves what he does, and what he got to do

668
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: is play a kid's game until he's in his mid forties.

669
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, there might never be another Tom,

670
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: but I don't expect him to do it forever. But again,

671
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: these are all educated guesses. We'll just see. I mean,

672
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: who knows when he's gonna call his first game? When

673
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: the hell's it gonna retire? And I gotta give props

674
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: to Fox for thinking big, because there's not a bigger

675
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: fish that you could go after. There really isn't you

676
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: know last year the rumors of people going after Sean

677
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: McVeagh Monday Night Football, Amazon whatever, that would be a

678
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: big fish. It ain't even close to Tom Brady. I

679
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: think by far this is the biggest get in the

680
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: history of television, given the wealth, the fame, how little

681
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: he needs this while he has nothing to gain everything

682
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: to lose. I understand now Fox is disputing the number.

683
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: They're claiming it's they're not paying him the three hundred

684
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars. That's not the contract. I don't know.

685
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, the Murdoch family didn't hit me up with

686
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: the details of the of the deal, but it's it's

687
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: pretty clear they had to pay a pretty penny. But

688
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: why would you not pay a pretty penny for the best?

689
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that If you're gonna pay a lot

690
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: of money for anything in any walk of life, whether

691
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: it's a home, whether it's an employee, whether it's a business,

692
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: you better be getting a premium because if you overpay

693
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: on not great, that's when you get in trouble. We

694
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: talk about a lot in free agency. You got to

695
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: overpay for good. You know, that's part of the deal,

696
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: right when it's why first round picks that don't live

697
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: up to the hype get crushed because you used a

698
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: lot of resources to acquire that guy. Whether it's the

699
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: player's fault or not, the coach's fault, whatever, but regardless,

700
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: the outcome is the outcome, and Fox went after the

701
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: biggest fish in the sea and they landed him well

702
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: in theory. We'll see when he ends up taking this job,

703
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: but it definitely got him some headlines. It's just a

704
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 1: it's a very it's a story I didn't see coming.

705
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: Which are the best stories? You know? One's like, damn,

706
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: that's kind of crazy, and uh, you know that that

707
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 1: first game that Tom Brady Kevin Burkhart, Kevin Burkhart's a stud,

708
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: a great guy. That'll be the highest rated game on

709
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: Fox that first game, like when he does his first

710
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: regular season game probably ever, just because like, what the

711
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: hell is Tom Brady gonna be like on television? I'll

712
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: be watching, and the hell that might be twenty twenty eight.

713
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: You know, I might have two children by then. Who knows, no,

723
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: kind of elephant in the room about Tom is there

724
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: was a viral video earlier this week that the Dolphins

725
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: put out. This wasn't a fan that posted it, This

726
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: wasn't a media member that posted it. This was the

727
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins social accounts and they posted it of Tua

728
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: Tongua Valoa throwing a deep ball, little play action, just

729
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: absolute bomb to Tyreek Hill. Now, the problem was on

730
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: the deep ball in the bomb is that Tyreek Hill,

731
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: one of the fastest players in the history of the league,

732
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: had to stop look back to catch the football, and

733
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: when you take a still shot of it, as someone

734
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: posted on Twitter, just the question of pass or punt,

735
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: like is he catching a punt or is he catching

736
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: a pass? And I've seen a lot of pushback on

737
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: the Internet of like, why are we making such a

738
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: big deal. Now? The Dolphins posted this, and when you

739
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: watch the video, it's not a great look. Now, I

740
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: don't think it's fake news or disinformation or whatever you

741
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: want to say that Tom Brady and Miami Dolphins were

742
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: a real thing. That there's enough smoke where there's clearly

743
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: some fire. He's boys with the right hand guy for

744
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: Ross who's taken over. He was gonna play, they were

745
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna bring Sean Payton. None of that happened. Now Tom

746
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: ended up getting his way coming out of retirement, forcing

747
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: Bruce arians out. Like that's we're not even arguing that anymore.

748
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, let's put the pieces together. But

749
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: next year Tom will be a free agent. Now, the

750
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins did just sign Mike McDaniel, and there is

751
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: no guarantee that he has any clue what he's doing.

752
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: He's a really good assistant coach and he played a

753
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: massive role for Kyle Shannon. He's IVY League genius run

754
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: game coordinator and offensive mind and players really really like him.

755
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. But he's never been an offensive play caller,

756
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: one because Kyle always did that. And two he's never

757
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: been a head coach and now he's inheriting this quarterback, which,

758
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: let's face it, if they had to do over, they

759
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: never would have drafted and he's been put with like

760
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: their big move this offseason, and I don't blame them

761
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: for making the move was trading all the picks and

762
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: paying all the money for Tyreek Hill, an outstanding elite

763
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame player. The problem is, as a sweet

764
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver, do you mesh with your quarterback? Right? Tyreek

765
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: Kill became a superstar once Mahomes got there. He was

766
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: a really good player with Alex, but him and Alex

767
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: didn't quite They didn't make sense. One of the reasons

768
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf hit the scene and became such a star

769
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: is he played for the greatest or with the greatest

770
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: deep ball thrower we've ever seen. If if DK Metcalf

771
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 1: had played with Daniel Jones or Teddy Bridgewater, he probably

772
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 1: would not be DK metcalfs. So, when you're a wide receiver,

773
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: so many things are out of your control. The offensive

774
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: coordinator who's creating the offense, and then the guy pulling

775
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: the trigger under center and he got Tuah and listen,

776
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's an overreaction to go, yeah, I

777
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: don't see this. I think has an outrageous amount of pressure. One.

778
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: The division's really hard. I mean, the Bills are a powerhouse.

779
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: Belichick's doing some weird things like Judge or Patricia is

780
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: gonna be the offensive coordinator. But regardless, like the Patriots

781
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: are gonna be competitive, and the Jets, in theory, should

782
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: be much better. They have a lot more talent on

783
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: their team. So and the other thing about the Dolphins

784
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: is they have It's not like they've been the Jacks.

785
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: They've won night team games the last two years, like

786
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: they have been very very competitive with Fitzpatrick in Tua.

787
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: So their quarterback play has not exactly been Mahomes, Lamar

788
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: Jackson and Josh Hellen. So to me, the pressure on

789
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: the head coach, but specifically the quarterback, because we know

790
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's gonna look sweet. They have offensive weapons everywhere.

791
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: He's a star, and Burrow is already taking a team

792
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. So it's like, is this guy

793
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: we're not even acting like, can this guy be an

794
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: all time great? Can this guy be a Hall of Famer?

795
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,919
Speaker 1: Can this guy be an All Pro? Can this guy

796
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: be a starting quarterback. That's how we're talking about tah

797
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: Is he a starting quarterback? You're like John, they won

798
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: seven of their last eight games. It's like, yeah, they

799
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: were playing nobody. He's got a peace shooter arm. He's

800
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: not a good athlete, he's short, and he's injury prone.

801
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 1: I'm out like I've been out. He helped Ta can't

802
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: hold Mac Jones's jock as an NFL player, And I'm

803
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: not the biggest Mac Jones guy, but I think I

804
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: put those two guys in different categories. But the ultimate

805
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: and the big picture problem of acquiring tire he kill

806
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: is it's going to expose to uh because we've seen

807
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: this guy thrive with an elite player, so we know

808
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: what Tyreek should look like, and if he doesn't look

809
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: remotely close to that, it's going to be a problem.

810
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: You'd be like John, you're making all the judgments off

811
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: a social media post. No. I mean, we've watched two

812
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: a play and it has not looked good. The social

813
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: media post just validates what we're all thinking. This ain't

814
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: gonna work. And then the elephant in the room is

815
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady gonna be the quarterback for the Miami Dolphins

816
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and listen, I don't know how

817
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: a little much longer Tom Brady wants to retire. I

818
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: sure know he hates retirement, but I do know this

819
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: that driven. Vindictive's probably the wrong word, but there has

820
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: to be an element of Tom. He got to play

821
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: Belichick this year and it was sweet Week four when

822
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: Tampa won that kind of epic that Sunday night game.

823
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: What about playing in the same division now? Would he

824
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: play for Mike McDaniel. Maybe there'd be an oust. Ross

825
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: is so much money. Maybe they'd pay them to go away.

826
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how it work, but if, if,

827
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: and when TWA fails, I think the Tom Brady to

828
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: Miami buzz won't just grow. It might end up being

829
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: a real thing. And it's gonna be a storyline that

830
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: we talk about all season long. If TUA is underthrowing

831
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: and throwing balls to the other team. Okay, hope everyone

832
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: has a good weekend. We'll have a mail bag coming

833
