1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Welcome to This Guy Gets It with Mark Sessler. This

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: week's episode injury prevention and corresponding success in the National

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: Football League. Injuries are a part of sports. They're a

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: part of football, after all. Football has been described as

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: a violent game large men piled one a top the

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: other above the treasure an oblong ball covered in pigskin.

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: The NFL has made a series of rule changes in

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: recent years to protect its players, especially in the areas

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: of special teams, protecting defenseless players, and of course, around

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: the game's crown jewel, the quarterback. That being said, injuries

11
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: still occur, both in games and even in practice. I'd

12
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: also point to the time that Nate Burlison was injured

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: while attempting to prevent two entire deep tishue pizzas from

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: falling off the passenger seat of his moving vehicle. Players

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: twist ankles, mash their groins, and suffer bloody lips, but

16
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: the NFL continues its efforts to make the game safer

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: for all. Join me next week as we take a

18
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: look at the league's turf Tug of war will dive

19
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: deep next week be around the NFL podcast. Still a

20
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: better love story than Twilight love, his love, his love,

21
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: his love. Welcome to another edition of Around the NFL

22
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: from Moroccos here in West Hollywood, the heart of Boys Town,

23
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: during Pride Month. My name is Dan Hansis, and I'm

24
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: in on a patio filled with some heroes. Greg Rosenthal

25
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: housing a sandwich, Connie Fox, Mark Sessler, Oh my goodness,

26
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: she's already back. Ricky Hollywood, Erica tam Posey, what's up? Gang?

27
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: Couldn't get rid of me that quickly? This is the

28
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: Ricky you know, every year we will be here. It

29
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: was a glory. I will look back on that first

30
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: podcast forever because it was the first time we ever

31
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: did it after the pandemic. We were so giddy just

32
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: to be together in that moment. But like, I don't

33
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: even know what of NFL talk we did, if any

34
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: at all, but a helicopter landed in the middle of

35
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: the podcast. Like it was all so perfect, Which is

36
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: not to suggest that we're jaded now, because I am

37
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: very excited to be here. You know, we got some

38
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: drinks in front of us water. Of course, we have

39
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: our friends here. We have Randy sha Vez, we got

40
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: Sean Kelly, you got my brother Kevin, Danger hands let's

41
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: give it off for Kevin Danger. We actually we actually

42
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: saw a film with Danger on Monday night called Daughters

43
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: of Darkness at the New Beverly and I was quite

44
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: an experience then. That's very had to lightly scold the

45
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: kids table right before we started the podcast, just to

46
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: tell them to keep it down a little over there.

47
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: I was hoping that Justin Graver, the Great Digger, was

48
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: going to step in and say something and I and

49
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: I did. I can't help it. In my head is

50
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: like Erica would have said something already. Bout yeah, I was.

51
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: I was seconds away from asking them to quiet their

52
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: conversation in a big spot. Very exciting to be here together,

53
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we've been together for so long

54
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: now and there's been good times and there's been bad times,

55
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: and I feel like we're in a good time cycle

56
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: right now. So let's all appreciate being able to be

57
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: together here in the middle of West Hollywood. This is

58
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: so cool. The pridecast during Pride Month with Ricky and

59
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: and a lot a lot to get to and by

60
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: the way, Mark excellent debut Epp of this guy gets it.

61
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Thank you. Um. You know I thought when I when

62
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: I like to listen back to these just because it

63
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: a newer show. UM a complete report to start with,

64
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: a trenchant report, and that's what I'm going for, and

65
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: I hope that the listeners each week will be loyal

66
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: and come back. It delivered on its promise, which was

67
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: here's the floor mark. Obviously, now he signs a new

68
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: contract and they want more from him, and what's he here?

69
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: He's here to deliver takes And I didn't catch any

70
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: real take in the first half. That was the light

71
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: thing I would say like it was informative. It was

72
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: more it was informative. Colleen nailed it. That's your opinion.

73
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was rich with takes. UM, what's up

74
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: too again? What is the episode number? Episode two? No,

75
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: that's actually was episode was episode twenty two We just

76
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: listened to in twenty three next week is uh? It

77
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: looks a deeper look at the various UM choices teams

78
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: have made about turf for grass, very sober minded and

79
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: information although very like Dick shot a chap on the

80
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: sports reporters kind I wasn't expecting that from you, but

81
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: I think there's a space to be filled there and

82
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: that's what I'm attempting there's also it does crack the

83
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,559
Speaker 1: door open for my dream is that we're one step

84
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: closer to sports with We're not going there, are you sure?

85
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, listen, we're here today. I

86
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: could make some decisions today that could change my entire life.

87
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: It's happening. And now let's now let's turn our attention

Speaker 1: feel like it's great because it removed like the responsibility

123
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: for you, and now you can just like hang out

124
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: and have fun. Like That's how I feel when I

125
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: come on the show. I don't have like a true

126
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: work responsibility, like in terms, I did the levels and

127
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: like the drops and like that. That seems stressful, Graver,

128
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're doing great. I can't even help it.

129
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, are we recording? Yeah? Levels are incredibly important,

130
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: but I had to check, like are you? Are you recording?

131
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: Justin I'm like, wait, what am I? Sot Erica? You

132
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: gotta stop? Well, you're a mentor. Where are you going? Um?

133
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: I am going somewhere that I'm very excited about. And yeah,

134
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: a couple of places. Actually, we've got some really cool

135
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: things on the horizon. One one big thing that I

136
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: am not able to announce yet. All right, well, you

137
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: know this was we talked about it when you left

138
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: that this just made sense for your next step to

139
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: do your ricky thing. And if you're more successful than us,

140
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: I will resent you. But if you find that, it's

141
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: like Sam Donald when he left the Jets. If you

142
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: find an acceptable level of success, I'm very happy for you.

143
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: If you find too much success, resentment with you, I'm

144
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: like super happy before you keep going, keep working hard,

145
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: and then bring me along for the ry. What do

146
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: you think about Grave Digger, how he's done so far?

147
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: Be honest, I think he's done a phenomenal job. Um,

148
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: but you know, how would you know? There's no way

149
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: you've listened to our podcast sets, and I don't blame

150
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: you for that, but there's no jams. Actually, a couple

151
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: of times I would listen to the beginning and end

152
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: just to find out, like what you guys did during

153
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: the weekend, because I like don't get texts anymore, like

154
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: about what but I what the tweets celebrating? Uh, yeah,

155
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: the truth is, the truth is yes, because you did

156
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: send me that text, and we worked together for so

157
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: long and you're such an awesome part of the show

158
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: and you're forever be a part of the show. But like,

159
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, again we talked about the contracts you talk about.

160
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: Me and my brother went to Hanano's in venice Um

161
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: last week and kind of had a beer and a

162
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: burger and felt the presidence of Chris and like, like

163
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: it's still hard to believe that, like two weeks after

164
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: we lost Chris we were doing episodes again. And because

165
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: that's just kind of what this job is. You know,

166
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: you just keep moving. So that's what I said to you,

167
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: basically that like, it's not like we forgot about Ricky.

168
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: It's like this is a machine, the tank. There's no

169
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: reverse gears in this tank. Mark of your questions, do

170
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: you find grave digger? Um? Is he is his ambition?

171
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: Is you too ambitious? Is there a concerned They're on

172
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: your front? You're a supervisor? Is on Mark's front, but

173
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: he's trying to use you to so so honestly, it's

174
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: a direct reflection on me because Justin has been my

175
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: second for the past year. So for the last year

176
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: I have been training him to get him to a

177
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: trade erb level. And that's why I felt comfortable leaving

178
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: you guys in the best hands. Do you have advice

179
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: for Graver, like just like one last piece of advice

180
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: we're producing this podcast. Yeah, No, I I think, Um,

181
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: it's important to to stay grounded and know that Greg

182
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: is always going to come off as brutally honest, but

183
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: it comes from a loving place. Dan cares more about

184
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: the show than his own children, almost and I respect

185
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: that because he really wants to get it right. So

186
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: get it right for him and Mark just wants to

187
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: know what time to start and when he can leave.

188
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: So as long as you have those timings and you

189
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: know what's happening, then you're gonna be great. It's deadly accurate.

190
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: And shout out to Jack and Harrison. I do love you.

191
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: There are limits, alright, this is awesome, Ricky. I love

192
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: having you here with us. Thank you. I love having

193
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: everybody here with Yeah, where's Kevin Danger? He left Sexy

194
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: by the way into Danger. I mean he's got the

195
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: rolled up sleeves is not ridiculous. He's not bringing me back.

196
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: But the Jaws shirt with like the blood and gore

197
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: on it is like con of sexy. Um the song

198
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: like are you threatened at all? Before we get into

199
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: like I would feel he is the younger brother, you know,

200
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: he's almost six years younger, so but he's like, he's

201
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: like Beefy, He's like, you've done a super Bowl week

202
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: with Danger, and I would I would say he does exude.

203
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: And it's not just my observation although I feel this way,

204
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: but Um has raw sex energy coming off him. And

205
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: we've we've been to events where like women were coming

206
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork and taking pictures with Kevin Danger.

207
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: So that's my report on that, right. But family, do

208
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: you have other brothers too? Yeah? I have a sister,

209
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: a rarely discussed sister. Um. So it looks like my

210
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: TikTok filter review Dan and Dan. No. I'm very happy

211
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: that Kevin's here and if maybe this is the neighborhood

212
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: for him, maybe it's not, you know, after the show.

213
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: But let's see what happens. What kind of energy emanates

214
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: for Danger. We got a lot to get to, transition,

215
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: so much to get to. But let's start, you know,

216
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: like we do. I have to say, Greggy, you know

217
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: you send your in the it's the messaging client that

218
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: we use this time of year. Sometimes when you send

219
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: this is the news that I kind of saw. Kevin.

220
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: You just missed like a hardcore like conversation about you,

221
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: specifically about your sexuality. You'll have to listen to any

222
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: went to the bar. Love is love is love is

223
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: love and this beer is full and I'm back. Maybe

224
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: there he is Danger exuding that bed end. Um. Let's

225
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: now talk about the show. Okay, we're gonna talk about

226
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: things that we're feeling gay for here in the middle

227
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: of the boys town. But before we do that let's

228
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: hit the news just maybe let's look a little bit

229
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: of all of us. You know, everyone's a little bit

230
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: ah Oh. My point was sometimes when Greg sends the

231
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: news run down, it's like this sucks and like Mark

232
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: and I will privately text about right, it's like news

233
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: rundown was like where does he get off? Even thinking

234
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: this is news? We do like a twenty minute back

235
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: and forth about it. But this time Greg, it was like,

236
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: this is a real good, beefy news. You gotta stretch

237
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: in O t A season. Some of it's unfortunate news,

238
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: but it is beefy. It is meaningful news by its

239
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: nature's it's something that you don't know and probably find unpleasant. Typically,

240
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: we used to back in the day when we did

241
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: three shows a week in O t A and Mini

242
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: Camp season, and we were writing articles like Mini Camp Takeaways,

243
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: winners and losers for Mini Camp. We were stretching. And

244
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: now we don't do almost any news from Mini Camp

245
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: of like who's the starter and who's gotten good. We've

246
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: we've given all that up. We'll save it for another

247
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: episode of this guy gets it with Mark Sessler because

248
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: that's a great app idea. Yeah, that's two from now

249
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm starting to work. I'll write that up and i'll

250
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: get that to you. Thank you. All right, let's get

251
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: to the news. Let's start with the Rams. They've done

252
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: it again, signing big deals with their greatest stars, locking

253
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: them up for another Super Bowl run to come. Let's

254
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: do it in order in which they occurred. The Rams

255
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: restructured Aaron Donald's contract. We you know, we went through

256
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: the old process of oh, is he gonna retires it?

257
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: But no, he was never gonna retire. He just wanted

258
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: a raise, and guess what, he got a raise. An

259
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: extra forty million over the next three seasons, keeps him

260
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: on the field, and it makes him the highest paid

261
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: defensive player in football, which is bang exactly where he

262
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: should be, where he should be, and it pays him

263
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: like a star quarterback, which makes sense. And then two

264
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: days later, Cooper Cup signs a three year extension the

265
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: star wide receiver. Uh, it's essentially a new five year,

266
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: a hundred ten million dollar deal puts him in that

267
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: category of the highest paid wide receivers in football twenty

268
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: two million a year, coming off an All World season.

269
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: So here we go, Greg and people are going to

270
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: hem and haw and get all fired up about the

271
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: Rams salary cap situation, but at the end of the day,

272
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing, They've proven it, and they

273
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: are getting into bed with two guys that are cornerstone

274
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: of their Super Bowl championship. The job this episode just

275
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: to point out anything like sound vaguely perfect, that's the

276
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: Donald deal is the one of the crazier deals. And

277
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: it makes sense because he's maybe the greatest football player ever,

278
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: one of the best football players are one of the

279
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: best defensive flip football he's in the mix. I'm just saying, um,

280
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: but to get more than thirty million dollars a year,

281
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: where you didn't even get any extra years tacked on,

282
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: it was just like, we're gonna give you more money.

283
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: Here's you know, ten million more year. Here's you know,

284
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: basically a hundred million dollars guaranteed. It's basically like a

285
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: two year deal. But it's just a sign that like

286
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: the teams with the owners who have a ton of

287
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: cash have a huge advantage because everyone's like, how does

288
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: this all work with the salary cap. It's just because

289
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: you're giving him cash. St Stan Cronky has just got

290
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: cash to burn. He's just throwing money away lately. I'm

291
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: not being real about it, but like they're signing bonuses

292
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: that they can give and just spread the money out,

293
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: Like the Giants cann't do that. There, you got a

294
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: broke owner. You know that the Steelers can't do that.

295
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: You got the Titans can't do it. That he couldn't

296
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: do the deals that Cooper cup. And this is not

297
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: necessarily a good thing, because it's true. I think it's

298
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: the thing for the future of the league. I sti't

299
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: understand what the salary cap is at this point because

300
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: the Rams have three players that are making each making

301
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: over million dollars. I'm getting like about a cap with

302
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: the signing bonus and you could pro rate it. And

303
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: it's this thing, this is that these deals are going

304
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: to be the one that make at the talking point

305
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: now because now everyone's fighting about it. I saw Andrew

306
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: Brandt went on Pat McAfee's show and then they were

307
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: bagging on Pellicero, who came on Good Morning Football this

308
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: morning to like defend himself that the salary cap does matter.

309
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: But what it comes down to, like the very like

310
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: from what I understand, cap over cash. If you are

311
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: a rich owner who's willing to spend and take a

312
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: risk and not getting caught with a horrible contract with

313
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: your great stars if they fall off, you could spread

314
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: out that that bonus money and then your cap will

315
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: be okay by the time you get to five years

316
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: from how big is the salary cap gonna be? But

317
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: this is not new Washington and Dallas, We're doing this

318
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. This is not a new thing.

319
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: And this comes from someone who's a big baseball fan

320
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: who's seen the disparity and salary caps, even in salary

321
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: even as a Yankee fan, has had a negative effect

322
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: on the sport. Now that like there is there's a

323
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: light being shined on this in a different way. It

324
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: does make me again worry about Joe Burrow. It makes

325
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: you worry about Justin Herbert. What's gonna happen for these

326
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: teams that aren't willing to do the same thing that

327
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: the Rams are right football, one of the reasons it's

328
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: become a national sport where no matter who's playing on

329
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: Thursday Night, it's gonna blow the ratings of any other

330
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: athletic competition out there is because the NFL focused for

331
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: so long on equitable scenarios between all thirty two teams

332
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: going back to when there were twenty eight teams, that

333
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: this is starting to become an issue. It's not good

334
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: for football on any level. And I don't think the

335
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: cap thing is an issue at all. But they do

336
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: in two seasons from now have a hundred and twenty

337
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: eight million tied up in four players. That said, they

338
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: look at that, they know that, and they know they

339
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: can manage that, and we'll see what those contracts situations

340
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: are in two years anyways, But if they win another

341
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl butter and what's their defense without Aaron Donald?

342
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: Everything changes. So they just had to do this. It's

343
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: not this thing where it's like, oh, the bill is

344
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna come do someday. No, you can just keep doing

345
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: this that I've been doing this. That's what I was

346
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: gonna say. Like the Rams are a perfect I think

347
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: that's why they're such an interesting TALCUPI with this because

348
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,239
Speaker 1: they're the perfect example in both directions. They did the

349
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 1: same thing with Golf, and they did the same thing

350
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: with Gurley and it backfired, and you would think, oh,

351
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: if you backfire with these type of deals, you're screwed.

352
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: For five years, they won the Super Bowl. So it's like,

353
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's just I don't know, maybe Greg, because you

354
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: say you're not as concerned about it. Maybe it just

355
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: comes down to the league is changing, the way players

356
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: are paid is changing, and teams will adapt because ultimately

357
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: they are all very wealthy people behind these teams. I

358
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: hope it does, but my concern is that some teams

359
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: won't be able to do the things that a team

360
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: like the rent I think it's an edge, but it's

361
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: it's still a hard cap in some ways. It's not

362
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: that huge of an edge, Like it's not gonna turn

363
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: dumb franchises into successful ones just because they have an

364
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: owner that can spend a lot of money. That Donald

365
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: thing is is unique, But cups cups Steal is more

366
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: him saying like, actually, I won't try to max out,

367
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: and these are two players that like, you can't be

368
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: wrong on one of the greatest three defensive players of

369
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: all time and the best receiver in the league last year.

370
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: It's like, you can't really be wrongst episode. I think

371
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: we've covered that topic in a rich fashion. So cup

372
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: Steal reminds me more of a little bit like Rob

373
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: Gronkowski's deal He's signed early in his career that he regretted,

374
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: like and Cups getting seventy five guaranteed, that's second or

375
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: third among receivers. So he's happy, but he he didn't

376
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: try to break the bank with this. If anything, his

377
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: deal will look below market sooner than later. But is

378
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: there a better place to be than to be in

379
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: Los Angeles? To have a team that's going all in

380
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: year after year and like to do it here in

381
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: California and having won a Super Bowl too. I mean,

382
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: it feels like they just have everything going for them.

383
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: They have Sean McVeigh who everyone loves and adores and like,

384
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: you know, we just got married and he's eating Lombardi

385
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: cake at his wedding. Yeah, I don't know about the wedding.

386
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: And he's going to resign there. This team feels like

387
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: it just has that like it factors, and you have

388
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers who are really fun, exciting team on the rise.

389
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: It's it's a good time for ELI. But to your point,

390
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big difference in ownership. And we're about

391
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: to talk about like another part of the Walmart dynasty,

392
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: which Stan Cronkie is too. He married into it. He

393
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: was already rich then he married into Walmart, that's sure,

394
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: And that is such a difference between them and the Charges.

395
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: The Chargers are essentially what the Jets used to be

396
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: in Giants Stadium, and they're a family run operation that's

397
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: never really made their own money, you know they came from.

398
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: So if there ever was gonna be a dichotomy, it's

399
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: those two l A teams because because the Chargers, I

400
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: don't think have a lot of cash. Truth, bro Truth,

401
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: all right, let's uh those a weird transition, it's a plus,

402
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: but it is true. I'm feeling good about your Celtics.

403
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: Celtics and five Celtics and five now, oh, I hate

404
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: to take whatever. I'll take whatever. All right, we got you.

405
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: This story is not gonna go away, and you and

406
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: you could say you're sick of the story, but facts

407
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: are facts, and and things keep coming out and it's

408
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: just important and to the NFL season to come, and

409
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: that's what we're doing here to talk about this stuff.

410
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: The New York Times reported Tuesday that Brown's quarterback to

411
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: show Watson, booked massage appointments with at least sixty six

412
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: different women over seventeen months from the fall of two

413
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen through the spring of two thousand twenty one.

414
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: The list of sixty six includes the twenty four women

415
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: who have filed lawsuits against Watson, including two in the

416
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: past week, a woman who sued Watson but then withdrew

417
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: the complaint, two women who filed criminal complaints against Watson

418
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: but did not sue him, a list at least fifteen

419
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: therapists who issued statements of support for Watson at the

420
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: request of his lawyers. At least four therapists contracted with

421
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: the Texans, And it goes on and on and on.

422
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: And this is Connie. This is a situation here where

423
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: it's like the New York Times and Jenny Barrentis, who

424
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: is an excellent reporter, not just a great NFL reporter,

425
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: just great report And that's why she ended up at

426
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: the Times. The Gray Lady, as it's known. Um, they're

427
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: doing the work. They did the work that the Brown

428
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: supposedly said, right, the due diligence that the Brown said

429
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: that they did. And now these two other lawsuits just

430
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: came about, like shouldn't this be enough? Just based on

431
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: I texted you guys about the last episode and Greg

432
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: outlining exactly what some of the suits say and just

433
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: like hearing that language is jarring in and of itself,

434
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: like it feels like it's a violation to just hear

435
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: about it. Shouldn't that be enough? The fact that Deshaun

436
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: Watson booked appointments with sixty six women from one he

437
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: said that it was only forty okay, fine, sixty six women?

438
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: And then the fact that in this New York Times

439
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: article that the Texans supposedly we're helping with n d

440
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: A s and basically providing a safe space for this

441
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: to happen. Shouldn't this be enough? When you read the

442
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: latest suit from the woman, it's appalling, like I don't

443
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: even want to say the things that happened because I

444
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: don't even feel comfortable saying it on a mic for

445
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: a for a national news network, because it just feels wrong.

446
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: And shouldn't that be enough that it is uncomfortable to

447
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: even talk about the details surrounding these cases? Why is

448
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: he not suspended yet? Why is he being awarded the

449
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: largest contract to play? Why is there a bidding war

450
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: for his services when he is out treat This is

451
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: a pattern. This is not a one off. This is

452
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: You can't tell me that this is just like a

453
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: coincidence that this is like a money grab. This is not,

454
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: and this is a total violation and it's a slap

455
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: in the face two women across society basically, not even

456
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: just like NFL fans, it's just like being a woman

457
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,239
Speaker 1: in general and hearing about this, and it's just going

458
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: to keep happening, new updates, new suits, anything, and it's

459
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: just it's a lot to to hear about and now

460
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: to have to talk about because it's my job. It's infuriating,

461
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: quite frankly, and there have been so many times where

462
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: I say, I don't want to talk about it because

463
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: I don't want these feelings to bubble up. But I

464
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: am so angry. I'm so angry at the Browns at

465
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: the NFL. He should be suspended full stop. Yeah, it

466
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: is absolutely sickening, and you absolutely hit the nail on

467
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: the head as a woman, not even an NFL fan,

468
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: as a woman to to be reading you know, comments,

469
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: and of course there are trolls, but there are a

470
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: majority of people who feel differently than we do, and

471
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: to me, that is so that's sickening in the ax

472
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: itself as well, because it is just like everywhere we turn,

473
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: it is a constant, you know, battle to deal with

474
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: yourself when you're reading this and you're looking at how people,

475
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: I mean, you are showing us who you are when

476
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: we're reading these comments and you think we don't know

477
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: who you are, but it is like so hurtful. And

478
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: I've looked at something that that in his contract. The

479
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: reason why the Browns became, you know, part of the

480
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: race for de Shaun Watson, is because it almost was

481
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: like his agent had written that contract. There like no voids,

482
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: there are all these different type of things that these

483
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: other teams that were in the race for him dropped

484
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: out because it was essentially like Watson's agent wrote it.

485
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: So looking at this and his contract, he's he really

486
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: kind of is bulletproof still to this day, and to

487
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: that itself is makes me stick to my stommach. The

488
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: way he's not though, is if they suspend him. And

489
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: I think that's why the timing and the details in

490
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: this article are so important. The public pressure that has

491
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: come up the last three weeks, Kevin Stefanski has spoken

492
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: the Browns coach on Wednesday and each of the last

493
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: three weeks. On each of those Wednesdays, the day before

494
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: there was a major Deshaun Watson development. We we've talked

495
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: about him in the show. So the HBO um, then

496
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: it was the extra civil uh lawsuit, and now how

497
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: it's this reporting, and I do think the timing should

498
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: influence the NFL's suspension. So not only are the Texans

499
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: now being brought into this lawsuit, according to Tony Buzzby,

500
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: the lawyer who's representing all the women in this case,

501
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: they're now suing the Texans as well, which adds, you know,

502
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: a whole other wrinkle to it. But the details that

503
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: are coming out and I think absolutely provides public pressure,

504
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: and that's what good reporters in good media work can do,

505
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: and I think the NFL responds, unfortunately to public pressure

506
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: and pr more than anything. And the fact that this

507
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: is all happening now, to me is is very meaningful

508
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: because frankly, that claimant, which was very tough to to

509
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: read about, it really wasn't that different than if you

510
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: read them all. And that's kind of what I said

511
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: this whole time, like read all the reporting from Jenny.

512
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: Read all the cases if you want, or don't talk

513
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: about it, but if you're going to like read all

514
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: the cases, it really wasn't that um different than most

515
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: of him. It's just part of a and so but

516
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: I do think that this happening now is going to

517
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: really make a difference. And I was It's so hard

518
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: to guess, but I just feel like he's going to

519
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: be suspended long longer than I thought he was going

520
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: to be a few months ago. Time with you, I

521
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: think there's there's been a quickening on that front. And

522
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: I to your point, Erica, at this point, if you're

523
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, you've completely lost your identity and your

524
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: north star and whatever it was you were hoping to

525
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: do with all this, um, it's incredibly cynical. It's left

526
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: a a dark blanket and aura over the entire offseason

527
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: and going forward because the story is not going away.

528
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: And I've tweeted a few things lately. You know, have

529
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: been a Browns fan, was a Browns fan since sixth grade,

530
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: which was a million and a half years ago, And

531
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: I feel so comfortable totally abandoning everything that they stand

532
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: for at this point. But there are, like with any

533
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: fan base, when you tweet something about that, a massive

534
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: group of people that come at you telling you that

535
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: you know you're not a guy, you're not a real

536
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: guy if you've jumped shipped because you don't have any fortitude,

537
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: just stick with it, stick the course, be a real fan.

538
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: Utter nonsense. And it's like, to Greg's point, I don't

539
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: think that many of these people have. And it's not

540
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: just men, it's it's female Browns fans too, And at

541
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: this point, I feel like there's a complete disconnect with

542
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: reality and that that portion of fans that are on that.

543
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,239
Speaker 1: And it's like, to Greg's point, go read what this

544
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: case is about victim by victims, And just one other thing,

545
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: like and I won't get into like the graphics of everything,

546
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: but just like a few things that popped out to

547
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: me reading the twenty four suit here, just about how

548
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: Watson's tone became more aggressive as he repeatedly made demands

549
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: about where he should be massaged, and how that he

550
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: kept piercing eye contact with the masseuse as she was

551
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: clearly uncomfortable, and then even worse things after that, Like

552
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 1: in times like these, I just so desperately wish that

553
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: West was here so I could hear what he had

554
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: to say, because I know what he would say about it,

555
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: but I just I wish I could hear it and

556
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: there is a and Mark, you're dealing with that, and

557
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,239
Speaker 1: that's very true. Colleen West would be on fire about this,

558
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: and rightfully so. Um, there's a segment of the fan base,

559
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Cleveland fans that just want us to go away so

560
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: they can get back to having their new superstar quarterback.

561
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: And that's the Browns is an organization that they were

562
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: expecting this to kind of blow over. And Um, it

563
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: hasn't blown over, at least not yet, and we'll see

564
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: it does it doesn't, and it would have, it would

565
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: have if he just offered some level of contrition and

566
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: settled the cases. I mean, that's the thing. He could

567
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: end this all pretty quickly. He'll still get suspended the

568
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: same amount, but if he if he wanted to end it,

569
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: he could end But it's almost like he or less

570
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: from his perspective, he's in too deep now because he's

571
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: been playing this game for so long. The Browns are

572
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: into deep like it makes me wonder are the Browns

573
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: internally how they actually feel about this now. That's why

574
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: I brought up Stefancie. He's had these press conferences and

575
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: he's so uncomfortable about it, and he you could almost

576
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: have seen his face, realizing like this is my life.

577
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: They they completely We talked about it the day it

578
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: happened on March. I think it was like that the

579
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: Browns completely are missing the boat. What this actually means,

580
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: what what this means for the team, What this means morally?

581
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: What this everything? It changes everything about the Browns. And

582
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: and by the way, so is DeShawn Watson totally removed

583
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: from reality. There has not been one word, one syllable

584
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: out of his mouth that suggests authenticity or accountability on

585
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: any level. He seems completely removed from the entire situation

586
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: and what this means for his own life. All right,

587
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: let's take a break and we'll hit some more news.

588
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: All right, we're back. Let's get to more news. The

589
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos announced Tuesday night that the team, you know,

590
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: I didn't start my little timer. I can't erstwhile or producer,

591
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: thank Hollywood, Hey hit your time or baby, I can't

592
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: help it. Once you have been in the in the arena,

593
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: you're always a player. It's muscle memory. You never leave

594
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: the arena. Broncos and asked Tuesday night at the club

595
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: and the Walton Penner family have entered into a purchase

596
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: and sale agreement to acquire the team. The Walton Penner

597
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: family is now set to acquire ownership of the Broncos

598
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: from the Pat Bowl and Trust, pending approval of the

599
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: NFL's from the NFL's Finance Committee and at least three

600
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 1: fourths of the owners uh. The winning bed bid was

601
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: for kind of in the realm of what our new

602
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: deal with NFL is four point six five billion. According

603
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: to NFL Networks James Palmer, this is one of those

604
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: like team these teams now like the Rams, that are

605
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: going to be able to do that cash over cap stuff.

606
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: And it just makes me think, like with Russell Wilson's

607
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: contract coming up, it's it can be a lot less

608
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: complicated now for them that they can just give him

609
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: a monster signing bonus, spread it out in a way

610
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: that the Bowlands could not. Like this has proof that

611
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: any owner who's not really doing a good job, fans

612
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: should be like just sell it, bro or or you

613
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: just like get your billions get you could you could

614
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: sell it for four billions, So if you don't have

615
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: the money, like go sell your team, because four point

616
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: six five billion is outrageous. Like the Bowlands makes like

617
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: what was happening within their family makes succession look like

618
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: my little honey or something like. And yet it could

619
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: not have worked out any better for them. And I

620
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: think if if you're a Broncos fan, ultimately you're happy

621
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 1: because this ownership group, according to Forbes, is five times

622
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: richer than the second richest NFL owner. They've got seventy

623
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: to nine billion dollars. Like right now, Russell Wilson on

624
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: a really strong roster and you just got bought by

625
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: a mega rich double oligarch scenario Walmart money, right. I

626
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: think Greg naturally underrates the competitive nature of my little

627
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: pony to some degree. That was a bit of a

628
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: bizarre comment by him, But I would say this a

629
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: lot of times when a new owner comes in, if

630
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: you're the head coach, if you're anyone in the organization,

631
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: you're thinking potential overhaul. Not this time, though, this is one.

632
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: If you're Vic Fonio and they kept you one more year,

633
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: you're out of their baby. But Nathaniel Hackett, Russell Wilson,

634
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: it's a great time to take over the team, to

635
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: provide stability, and it's a good time to be Nathaniel Hackett. Yes,

636
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: I wonder if this means that they'll get a new stadium.

637
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: It did catch on fire earlier this year at one

638
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: point seem possibly it's a little weird that that the

639
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: Walmart family owns most of the Denver sports teams, because

640
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: Cronky owns a couple of them too, So Walmart's just

641
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: like putting their steaks down. But it's wrong with Walmart anyways. Also,

642
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: the one member of ownership group that is not connected

643
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: to the Walmart money, Melody Hobson. Um. She's married to

644
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: George Lucas, which I thought was interesting. And they might

645
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: bring in Peyton Manning, you know, as like a partial

646
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: small ownership to Peyton Manning that advised the Jets to

647
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: hire Adam Gates. Let's you know, we don't need Peyton

648
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: Manning and an advisor role, just staying you're a little

649
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: booth with your brother and let's fly. Not George Lucas's

650
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: first wife, by the way, he went through a rocky

651
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: divorce many years ago. Thank you about that. Marks always

652
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 1: got to get that Star Wars weird um like divorce,

653
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: pop fans opinions on the wives of the creators like

654
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: you have opinions, and George Lucas, she actually like edited

655
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: Star Wars. Correct. She was like a high octane film

656
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: professional positive opinion. When Colin brought it up that it

657
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: was his wife, Mark visibly rolled his eyes because you

658
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: had those facts and you were like, I have to

659
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: get wearing sunglasses. I did not roll my eyes. Was

660
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: some nice note the other news Washington commit What is

661
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: with the Washington commanders? Why is everything so messy with

662
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: the Washingtonanders? Defensive coordinator Jack del Rio apologized on Wednesday

663
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: after you called the January six riots at the U

664
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: S Capitol a quote dust up, And I could throw

665
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: the sound of Jack del Rio um explaining his thoughts

666
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: and and you, if you want to seek it out,

667
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: read it. And I'm not here to tell you what

668
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: to think about Jack del Rio's comments, because you already

669
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: live in your respective echo chamber on this. But my

670
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: bigger point is, like, man, the Washington football team, even

671
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: though they are getting ready, they're starting, they're starting to

672
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: get ready to take command, they also don't seem to

673
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: ever get past the point of like being totally locked

674
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: in on ball and the organization is just distractions forever

675
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: with this team. No, me and Jack del Rio have

676
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: a heart out at five pm for the insurrection hearings today,

677
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: So like, I can't we gotta wrap this pot up soon. Yeah,

678
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: it came from del Rio's Twitter account, which uh is

679
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: not the first time he's made news with his Twitter account.

680
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: Not none of this. These opinions that he has are

681
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: surprising coming from him, and they're not that exceptional from

682
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: NFL coaches. I would say more than not, there's more

683
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio's than not um among NFL coaching. Now,

684
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: they many, they keep the opinions of themselves and they

685
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: don't go as hardcore because uh, it creates a problem

686
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: with your players, um that you might not really respect

687
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: them that much when it comes down to it. And uh,

688
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: I think that's why he had to apologize. But it

689
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: had some real repercussions already. Politicians in the Virginia area

690
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: who were not too excited to help contribute public funds

691
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: were saying like, yeah, we're not contributing public funds to

692
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: this commander's new stadium A because Daniel Snyder is a

693
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: billionaire and they're a mess and we're bringing them up

694
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: to the Congress in a couple of weeks anyways, and

695
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: be because of this guy Jack del Rio. Now they

696
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: might just be using that as a convenient excuse. They

697
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: probably weren't getting that money. But it's like, uh, Jack

698
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: del Rio stepped in as a puppet in political talks,

699
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: which is whatever, but that's part of the problem. It's like,

700
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: you're the d C, you're the defensive coordinator. Dude, pipe down,

701
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: get out of the way, Like why are you bringing

702
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: your attention to yourself and creating this distraction of the team. Well,

703
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: Virginia State senator literally called his comments the nail in

704
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: the coffin on my stadium talks. Now, I agree that's

705
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: been politicized, but Jack del Rio was overtly um in

706
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: writing against Colin Kaepernick's protests from That's what this was about.

707
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: That's what his comments were about. He was diminishing everything

708
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 1: that happened uh two summers ago after uh George Floyd

709
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: was murdered and saying like that the reaction to that, um,

710
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: he was making an analogy to it. And I'm sure

711
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: that it's not going over well with a lot of

712
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: his defensive players. Well, and I think the good ownership

713
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: probably came. Someone came to Jack Dorion said you better

714
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: apologize now because you're not special enough at what you

715
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: do to be walking around trumping those comments around. All right,

716
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 1: let's move on finally, Darius Leonard. We'll undergo back surgery.

717
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: Cult star linebacker expected to return during training camp. They

718
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: believe Leonard will be ready for the regular season. You

719
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: may remember that Leonard is also recovering from an ankle

720
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: injury that needed surgery, so he's beat up. I'll put

721
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: a linebacker. Uh that's been just a lynch pin of

722
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: their defense for years now. You hope that he's gonna

723
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: come back because the Colts will need him. Erica, he's

724
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: got to bring Arika back in the show. Darius Leonard. Yeah, no,

725
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean I really That was actually something in the

726
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: next segment that I was going to talk about. I'm

727
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: pretty gay for the Colts this year with Matt Ryan

728
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: and Pittman coming off his first for a thousand yards?

729
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: Are you stepping on that one or you'll just get

730
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: I got plenty, I got plenty of them. So I'm

731
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: excited to see Matt Ryan in this Colts offense and hopefully,

732
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, Leonard is there to contribute to. I think

733
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a real upgrade for the team.

734
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: Dan was talking about how like he has these twenty

735
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: minute long text threads with Mark where he complains about

736
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: what level of news I'm bringing. And I thought about

737
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: that before I threw in the Darius Leonard back story,

738
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: because we're not just doing every little injury and I'm

739
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: thinking dance, thinking, hey, we want to have fun at

740
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: the pridecast, Like do we really need to talk about surgery?

741
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: And it had to be like a high bar to

742
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: get over it. And the fact the fact that it's

743
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard and it's happening in June. You no one

744
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: wants to have June surgery. That's a surgery you were

745
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: trying to avoid, and it's your back and it's coming

746
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: off of an ankle surgery. This this is their best

747
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: defensive whatever they're saying, like, we hope he's ready for

748
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: the season. He's probably not going to be this season. Okay,

749
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. The ankle, it was fixed. He

750
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: had that surgery last June and it lingered a little bit.

751
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: The problem was he was not feeling functional movement in

752
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: the ankle, So it's not like it was an ankle injury,

753
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: just the full functionality of the ankle wasn't there. So

754
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: I know I did a little bit comes from the spine,

755
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: how much comes from nerve. So that's what their back

756
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: surgery is. What they're thinking is it was a nerve

757
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: in his back that was pausing the ankle to not

758
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: have full function functionality. So now hopefully it will all

759
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: be good training camp guys. But he'll be back for

760
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: the timetable officially is he'll be back the start easily

761
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: because is he a top ten most important player defensively

762
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: in the a f C. I think he's in that still,

763
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: like a first team All Pro last year with the

764
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: lingering ankle injury. Would you like to come on this

765
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: guy gets it one of these weeks we got kind

766
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: of guest. I always thought they were just kind of

767
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: like fireside FDR relative. It's about a thirty second long,

768
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: so she'd have about maybe eight seconds like an NPR

769
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: type slip. I got it. I feel like you could

770
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: be um. I don't know if you want to go

771
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: to medical school or whatever, but there is an angle.

772
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be a neonatologist when I was

773
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: a medical doctor expert when it comes to football, they

774
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: used guys that aren't very good at it, like that

775
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: guy who got Women's guard that works for the Chargers. Yeah,

776
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: there's a few women. Yeah. So I wanted to go

777
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: to medical school and be a neonatologist, which is like

778
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: a baby doctor working the NIKI or whatever. Yeah, and

779
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: then I was like anthesiologists make how much money? So

780
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: then I went to the route. Here I am in

781
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: the NFL network. Dandels revealed that he never went to

782
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: like the neo natal thing. He was too worried about

783
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: the podcast. He wasn't trying to look at let me

784
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: know when the Baby's at Home podcast taking uba. That's

785
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. Love you baby. Um. All right,

786
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to apologize to my brother

787
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: Kevin danger hans is now that he's here. When I

788
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: was a young man in my adolescence, Kevin and I

789
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: shared a bunk bed. He was top punk, I was

790
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 1: bottom bunk. And you know the old Malcolm Gladwell theory,

791
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: ten thousand hours is the magic number for greatness, to like,

792
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: know how to get great at something, tend to be

793
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: an expert, to be an expert. For me, I gained

794
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: my ten thousand hours throughout my adolescence and into my

795
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: twenties listening to w f A N on the Sports

796
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: Radio Titan in New York and to get to that number. Uh,

797
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: that required the clock radio next to my bed playing

798
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: overnights with the user Steve Summers and my brother six

799
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: years younger than me. So I'm let's say I'm fifteen,

800
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: he's nine. Uh. He was subjected to w f a

801
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: N his entire youth all the way until I went

802
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: away to college. And UM, I just want to use

803
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: this platform. Uh, Kevin, I'm gonna hand you the mic

804
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: to apologize for putting you through that, because I understand

805
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 1: it helped me get to the ten thousand hours and

806
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: really in a lot of ways. And I mean this sincerely.

807
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: I don't think i'm here right now if I wasn't

808
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: that in love with the idea of sports talk radio,

809
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: but maybe it was at your expense. And I just

810
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: want to say I'm sorry and I love you. Then

811
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you where you are. And uh, I

812
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: feel like we did that together. And that being said,

00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: and I feel like I have nothing to apologize. That

00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: was so beautiful as like in sync this I promise

820
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,600

Speaker 1: Crows like, haven't you put a ring on it? Like

824
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,720

825
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: you married? And then I forgotten? Now you know that's

826
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: how I was married away and came back without a ring.

827
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm the producer, so let's not talk about

828
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: the sanctity of marriage. Yeah, okay than others? Yeah, yeah,

829
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: you're up to over there. Yeah, turned down the walls. No,

830
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: I think in the next year. I think in the

831
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: next year. It's not I would not delay this. It's

832
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: not an exciting story. It's not an exciting story. She

833
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: is getting her doctorate in physical theory base, she's in

834
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: school and a three year program. I just I don't

835
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 1: I don't need to cut you off. Okay, I need

836
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 1: to tell you something. Don't wait to tell you something.

837
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: I got to talk to you. If you are with

838
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: somebody who's super hot as I was in my dating year,

839
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: and amazing and better than me and still are yeah,

840
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: and still remains. You gotta put a ring on it

841
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: because if she meets some fancy you know, lady doctor

842
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 1: or whatever, if you don't get the ring on before

843
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: that happens, it's a rap. You gotta get the ring.

844
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: So you're saying, I'm batting way out of my leak,

845
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: is what you're saying. I think you're hot and cool

846
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: and funny and smart, but not mess around. Okay, listen

847
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: to me. Jett said she does not want to be

848
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: planning a wedding while in school. She said that if

849
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: we get engaged in the next year, we can do

850
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: a two year engagement. How much of those are we

851
00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: cutting out? You can leave it what Dan just said that, Erica,

852
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: let's keep it. This has been like the most anti

853
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: Pride part of the episode somehow. I don't know how. Yeah, no, no, no,

854
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: I just we are. We are. I have the funds

855
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: for the ring put aside. We're ready to go. She

856
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: just wants a two year engagement because of school, so

857
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: by next year we will be engaged. Does dance analysis

858
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: strike any fear in you though that maybe she would.

859
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: She doesn't want along engagement, and she's in school for

860
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: the next two years, so she's like, I cannot plan

861
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: a wedding while I'm in school getting her doctor down

862
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: From advice friend a friend, was that at a bound

863
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: in your opinion? Um, I think that what I see

864
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: differently happening here, a little differently, is that Erica is

865
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: working with jets career and wishes to some degree versus

866
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: like dropping an ultimatum by the time she gets home tonight,

867
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 1: which could go south. I think ultimatums don't typically work.

868
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: I don't think your advice is is misguided or it's

869
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: coming from a good place. I just enjoyed your backpedal

870
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: explaining to her why she's such a good catch. That

871
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: but we all know you, we all know, we all

872
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: know funny, we all know I'm batting out of my

873
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: leek and I trying my hardest to lock it down.

874
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: I probably means I wish that she just like landed

875
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: in the helicopter across the street, and that was the

876
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: whole proposal, right, but maybe next year, you know. Fun

877
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: fact I actually thought about when I first met her

878
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: for the first time, Lakisha was like, thank god you

879
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: were with her because this, the last one, was a

880
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: total disaster. And then I even said, me and me

881
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: and Jett were talking one night that the perfect person

882
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: that we would want to ask to marry us would

883
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: have been West. It isn't amazing. Yeah, he would have

884
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: been great. He would have been so good. And he

885
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: thought Jet was better than me. But no, listen, I don't.

886
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 1: I do not stand by this narrative. Jet is better.

887
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: She literally all right, before we take a break, Um,

888
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 1: this is the podcast. What are we doing after the podcast,

889
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: We're going to go to the abbey to where the

890
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: male dancers are. I'm gonna get Kevin Will loosened up.

891
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: We're getting dangerous. We're getting dipped into the culture cure.

892
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: Anything could happen. Five years ago at the Super Bowl

893
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, I pitched an idea about scuba diving and

894
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: you guys making your picks in the aquarium at the

895
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: Mall of America, and all the suits at NFL said yes,

896
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: And you know who said no, Mark, I'm not taking

897
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: my shirt off and getting in that water. You're getting

898
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: in the water today, big boy. That was a long

899
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: time ago. Also, I'm sure that story has happened. That

900
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: was a long time ago. My world has changed because

901
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: he's hot, he like he's lost. I care about it

902
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 1: almost nothing at this point. Yeah, he's I don't think

903
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: it's about I don't think it's about being afraid to

904
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 1: take off shure. I think he's saying he fears nothing.

905
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: I just don't care. I also know probably the driving

906
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: force behind that, and we would have shared. Mark's opinion

907
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: was like, we're not doing all that for something barely

908
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: anyone's gonna watch. That's much where I was coming from.

909
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: Remember you were you guys were cutting fish, you did that.

910
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: Remember what the Quari experience and then and then who

911
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: ended up on NFL network because of their segments? Okay,

912
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: so yeah, you can put me in your little tweet

932
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: get it. But in an ideal world, maybe you would

933
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: don't tell about your ideal world. This is my last baby,

934
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: isn't it a scale? Aren't we all gay? Greg's right,

935
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 1: that's true. I told Colleen we're making out this weekend

00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: episode last year. I agree, we're all gay here. Okay,

938

Speaker 1: number two. Listen, I'm gonna stand by this one. And

942
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: it's maybe men of a certain age or people of

943
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 1: a certain age. Madonna An here's the thing about Madonna

944
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: born in nineteen eighty. The only um window I had

945
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 1: to queer culture as a like younger person that wasn't

946
00:53:53,800 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: the um stereotypical was played up for comedy was Madonna

947
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: and some of those videos and like her Truth or

948
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: Dare documentary, like she is, you want to talk about allies,

949
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: she gets a lot of Madonna. What do you think?

950
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: I agree totally. She could have been number one fluid

951
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: introducing fluidity too at a time we didn't know number one.

952

00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: with Heman figures. And I can attest to what you're saying.

957
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,400

965
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:17,680

00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: for the next list of you know, gay IUDs have

967

1008
00:57:54,400 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm ready, Yeah, okay, what do you get tweet deck

1009
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: and West's lists that are on tweet deck because I

1010
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: heard that tweet deck is going away and I don't

1011
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: know how to save his lists, and I live and

1012
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: die by Wes's list. It's the only way I watch games.

1013
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: I have an NFL Beat Writers, I have an NFL National,

1014
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: I have every single division he put together, and I

1015
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: specifically watch games and bring the lists over so I

1016
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: can see them. Now. John told me that there's some

1017
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: type of hack I didn't follow. I'm not really sure

1018
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: what it is. I need your help, listeners. How do

1019
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: I save these lists? Because I need them and I

1020
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: want them because I feel like every time I go

1021
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: on tweet deck. It's still like a little connection to

1022
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: the West. I'm gay for the lists and I need

1023
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: them in my life. I think our listeners will know

1024
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: a solution, because I'm sure there's a tweet deck equivalent

1025
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: out there that maybe you can somehow transfer. I don't

1026
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: know anything, but I bet they'll come to could they got?

1027
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: I guess it's still around right now, right now? Yeah,

1028
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: that's a heartbreak. West would also meticulously update those all

1029
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: throughout the off season every year, and when he first

1030
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: arrived at the NFL, you know, you'd work shifts together

1031
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: if he's a Saturday where he's like, bro, like, let

1032
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: me send you all these like various lists, and like

1033
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: twenty minutes later when I uploaded his nineteen division by division,

1034
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: beat writer by beat writer long form NFL article tweet

1035
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: deck forms, like I suddenly was an organized blogger. I

1036
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: don't know what I was doing before he had. He

1037
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: did the same thing too with RSS feeds back in

1038
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: the day when that is like where we look to

1039
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: find news Internet read later the that website as well,

1040
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: like West introduced me that where you can kind of

1041
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: a list of bookmarks, like interesting things when you're in

1042
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the shift, and then you go back

1043
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: and read it. That's like pocket probably. All right, that's good.

1044
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: Everybody shout out on Twitter at Colleen Wolf with tweet

1045
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: deck replacements. All right, let me get a football one

1046
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: out there. I'm gay for baker comeback season in light

1047
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: of recent events. I've always thought Baker was interesting but

1048
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:22,919
Speaker 1: maybe flawed as a quarterback, right, talks a lot, gets

1049
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: himself in trouble, but not bad trouble. But he's a

1050
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 1: he's a as you know, Mark, he's charismatic, and we

1051
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: used to talk about it in the uh like Sam

1052
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Donald never said anything, but at least at least Baker

1053
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: was interesting, you know, and he puts himself out there.

1054
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: Now we're in a situation where here's my dream scenario.

1055
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is suspended the entire season as he should

1056
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: be a couple of them indefinitely. Yeah, you can hit

1057
01:00:52,400 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: him with that. The Browns reach out to annual traditions, right,

1058
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: They're like, this take is so hot. Were preemptively sending

1059
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:14,919
Speaker 1: ambulances in the fire department. Um, it's a patty wagon. Yeah,

1060
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: They're like, come on, boys, Deshaun Watson spending the entire season.

1061
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: The Browns, this is the dream scenario. Reach out to

1062
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: Baker and they get rebuffed in vulgar fashion, right like

1063
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Baker and his raps are like, get the hell well, vulgar,

1064
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 1: get the fuck out of my face. Okay, I am

1065
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: going somewhere else that's not here. Cleveland, aware it has

1066
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: no moves left to play, releases the Fumber, the former

1067
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Now we need a little good

1068
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: fortune to come in, whether it's with one of these

1069
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: teams we keep connecting them with Seattle or Carolina, or

1070
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: a team let's say it's gonna be crazy here New Orleans.

1071
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: A team that's good and has a starter, but may

1072
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: be could upgrade a backup quarterback and opens a window

1073
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: for him if something happens, lands in a good place,

1074
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: gets an opportunity, and enjoys his best season while the

1075
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Browns wallow in the mud on the field and off

1076
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: The Browns who soured on Baker Mayfield because according to

1077
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: people inside the building, they wanted an adults in the room.

1078
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: Well you found a different adult, So go go sit

1079
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: on that, Cleveland. But I would love to see that.

1080
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: I hard root for Baker at this point, Like wherever

1081
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: he goes is going to be a candidate for the

1082
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: team that I'm most plugged in on. He will land

1083
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: somewhere at some point, and I think he's a perfect

1084
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: set up for a comeback Player of the Year because, yes,

1085
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: I think he got on your nerves at times, Dan,

1086
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 1: and I think he got on a lot of people's nerves.

1087
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: But his level of annoying is so different than some

1088
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: of these other athletes out there that are doing harm

1089
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: and creating issues. Baker Mayfield deserves to land with the

1090
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: team and start swinging his sword. I think the situation

1091
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: that he's in right now, and base on the things

1092
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: that have happened in the past with him, he kind

1093
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: of went from one end of the spectrum to the

1094
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: other because it felt like he was, you know, just

1095
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 1: popping off a little too much about stuff and airing

1096
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 1: a lot of grievances and maybe saying things that should

1097
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: have just less art of it. But now seeing the

1098
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: situation that he's in, I think that a lot of people,

1099
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: a lot more people are behind him and would root

1100
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: for him to be a comeback Player of the Year,

1101
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: to come back and absolutely destroy everyone. That would be

1102
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: the best story ever. Like I would love that personally, man,

1103
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean he was like the guy that brought up,

1104
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: brought out like the anti vax All Stars when he

1105
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: was like looking for any other NFL player that who

1106
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: actually liked him enough to like work out with him.

1107
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: And I feel like, why that get you? I'm saying, like,

1108
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's got a lot of support

1109
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: within the NFL. I think fans, I think he's a

1110
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: compete all time contrarian take from Greig. Are you talking

1111
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: like literally the whole story in Cleveland is that clearly

1112
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: when the locker room was divided, which I don't really

1113
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: believe all this stuff. If he was good enough, he

1114
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: would have been good enough. But like the whole O.

1115
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: B J. Baker thing, it's a rap, like they were

1116
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: fans of O. B. D. He was a great teammate,

1117
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: Like there wasn't a lot of that for Baker, Like

1118
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: he has to work on. He's talked about it that

1119
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: he has to work on, like getting the trust of

1120
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: other NFL players. I think he's much better though at

1121
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: this point than people kind of remember because his highs

1122
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: are very high as low as are low. But you

1123
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 1: could see him having understand the context of my commentary, right,

1124
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I was just talking about colleague. I don't even remember

1125
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: what the context of the commentary is, like it would

1126
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: really stick it to his soon to be former team

1127
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: if he thrived in a new take some limiting some

1128
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: of the other stuff, like he's going to be the

1129
01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: people's champion. And I think he's a divisive guy. He

1130
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: always will be, like he's he's kind of h He's

1131
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: got some Jack del Real comments out there too, and

1132
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: it's past. But I think there's gonna be a segment

1133
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: that and there's gonna be a segment that aren't all right.

1134
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: I think I hope the listeners understand my angle on that.

1135
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: But um, let's go nown NFL. Since you mentioned the

1136
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: Celtics the Celtics before, um, I think like with sports,

1137
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: you get like what you put into the experience of

1138
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: being a fan, and I haven't, like I am so

1139
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: gay for this Boston Celtics season. Really the last three years.

1140
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: It was the pandemic that did it for me, and

1141
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: then me and the kids got super into the bubble,

1142
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: and uh, sports are are fun and I never mind

1143
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: like Bandwagon fans, like Bandwagon fans are great because they're

1144
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: not going to get the same enjoyment that the people

1145
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 1: that have been watching every game, whether it's just that

1146
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: season and or the people that have been watching every

1147
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: game for twenty seasons, really like get out what you

1148
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 1: want to put into it. And I have enjoyed this

1149
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: NBA season so much. We've, like me as a family,

1150
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: we've watched like three quarters of the games together at

1151
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 1: least part of it, like every playoff game. It's fun

1152
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: experience with them, and it's nice that it's not the NFL.

1153
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: You Dan get on me about the Patriots like that.

1154
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm not really a Patriots fan anymore, and there is

1155
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: some truth to that. It's not the same like you're

1156
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 1: at work, like it's distracting. I love football and I

1157
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: but I just love it in a different way. I

1158
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 1: love like the players and different teams and rooting for things,

1159
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: and I don't feel the same sort of thing about

1160
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: my team, the Patriots. There's still the team I root

1161
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: for more, but it's not that like thing that makes

1162
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: you feel like a kid where you're just down to

1163
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 1: rise and fall with whatever happens, and then to go

1164
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: through that with your kids and see them to start

1165
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: going through it and stuff is just so awesome. So

1166
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: just the chance greg for the new England region to

1167
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: experience another championship with Well, I think that's true. We've

1168
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: had a four years here. Well, the Celtics have only

1169
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: one one in my life. In fairness, the Celtics have

1170
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: only won one since I was eight years old. So

1171
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it felt like they've been rolling up titles. Um,

1172
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: but you're right, the Boston region doesn't the national standpoint,

1173
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 1: But I don't count that I was seven years old. Dan,

1174
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: your rebuttal to everything that Greg just my rebuttal. I

1175
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: feel bad that you were offended about Baker. I was

1176
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 1: responding to Colleen. I wasn't even thinking about everything that

1177
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: Greg says. I think that's great. I know exactly what

1178
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Greg. That is like I'm watching everyone

1179
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: Knows listen to his podcast Knows. I'm a huge baseball fan.

1180
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: The Yankees are forty and sixteen, which is awesome, and

1181
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: we'll see how the season plays out down the end,

1182
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: and the Yankes are no one's just like the Celtics.

1183
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 1: No one's idea of an underdog franchise. But it was

1184
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: something I grew up loving, and my boys have fallen

1185
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: in love with baseball and watching baseball with me, it's different.

1186
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 1: And I think it's like when you work in sports.

1187
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: Um like I I love the Jets just as much

1188
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: as I did when I started the company, but it

1189
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 1: is different, like and once you are in the company,

1190
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: it's different. Once you're working in the league and covering

1191
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: the sport, it's different. So finding that other sport where

1192
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: you have no connection to a professionally, it almost makes

1193
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: it more rewarding and more fun to watch. Can I

1194
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:24,639
Speaker 1: just ask real quick while we're on baseball corner why

1195
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:30,719
Speaker 1: the Angels decided to play nickelback for every single player

1196
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: that went to the plate they were on. And I

1197
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,799
Speaker 1: don't know what happened with the Red Sox and Angels yesterday,

1198
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 1: but they were on a twelve game losing streak, so

1199
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,600
Speaker 1: they had fired their manager. And it's like one of

1200
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: the reasons I love baseball, it is like weird stupid

1201
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: things to try to change the tide. So they played

1202
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 1: like the worst rock band in the last tenty five years,

1203
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: and you walk up to try to like change the vibe.

1204
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 1: They lost and didn't score a run again, but when

1205
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: they did, the nickelbacks, so they're down. Well, I wouldn't

1206
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: never you don't pick Nickelback, but you know the Detroit Lions,

1207
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 1: Mark famously, we covered it on around the League way

1208
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: back in the day. The Detroit Lions once hired nickel

1209
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: Back to do a halftime show on Thanksgiving. So people

1210
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 1: have been making these mistakes for a long time. I'll

1211
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: throw one out there, Um, this is a projection. I'm

1212
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 1: more hoping this happens. Uh. The last two seasons have

1213
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: kind of sucked, but for a number of reasons, and literally, hey,

1214
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: well Corona right, Like I am I'm super gay for

1215
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: the consilation every show as like the gape on Like, yeah,

1216

1217
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: Putts Mark. Sorry to interrupt, but I am super gay

1218
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: for the idea of a season we're not tracking Corona

1219
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: week by week and having like key players dropped out

1220
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: of the mix and having games on Wednesday night. I mean,

1221
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: last year it got us a lot closer to that.

1222
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: And I am guaranteeing that the pandemic never returns. Right now?

1223
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:10,719
Speaker 1: WHOA wow, that's a there. That's amazing, right that Greg

1224
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: nothing well monkey Poks has sort of been. I mean,

1225
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: that's not trying to be a concharyon take. I'm just

1226
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: I'm giving the people in my opinion. It just happens

1227
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: that I always disagree with you, but you're on you're

1228
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: on board with that opinion. I like that, I mean,

1229
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: I like the hopefulness of it, and I'm for that.

1230
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: That's a good one. You want a football one, I

1231
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: go whatever. So Colleen, you're gonna have to brace yourself

1232
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: for this. But I'm actually gay for the Eagles, and

1233
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but I've been very obviously. I didn't really

1234
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 1: didn't really care about the Eagles as a patsman, and

1235
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: that that's the Pats Homer and me. Once they beat

1236
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: us in the Super Bowl, us being the Patriots, I

1237
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 1: have made it my mission to make sure that they suffer.

1238
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: And I don't like it. But but looking at everything,

1239
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,719
Speaker 1: all the hypes out of your what kind of impact

1240
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: would you say you had? What have you done? I've

1241
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: been like putting me an action step. I've been giving

1242
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: batteries to fans as they go into these states. So

1243
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about Philly sports fans until I

1244
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: met John and Connie, and they're crazy. And now now

1245
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: I've learned, if you really want to get them upset,

1246
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 1: you bring up the battery throw batteries, oh boo Santa,

1247
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: and they get so much I will lunch across this

1248
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: table right now and to strangle both. But as as unfortunately,

1249
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, I'm taking a step back and I and

1250
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: as Greg always tells me, to be a professional, don't

1251
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 1: just think about the Patriots. The Jalen hurts I ever

1252
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 1: said you have multiple times? Actually, so the Jalen hurt

1253
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:55,240

1261
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: to see this Eagles team this upcoming year. And I

1262
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: feel proud of myself for feeling I have a personal

1263
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: connection with Nick Sirianni right, we love him. Can I

1264
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:41,520
Speaker 1: ask you a question as you leave the NFL, Ricky, Yeah,

1265
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 1: what will be your like? How plugged in will you

1266
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: be on the League of thirty two. I think I'll

1267
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: still such a passion. With all due respect, you didn't

1268
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 1: really football when you started. You came to the company

1269
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: as a Patriots fan, Yes, and then he spent what

1270
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 1: six years? Seven years? Yeah? When you exit the League

1271
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: of thirty two company, well you do you imagine you'll

1272
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 1: go back more to your viewing habits as Patriots fan

1273
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: or do you think now you'll take this with you

1274
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: and just be more into the league oft Yeah, that's

1275
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I think I'll definitely be plugged in. I

1276
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 1: think my whole Twitter feed is is everyone. Um, I'm

1277
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: really I'm never gonna not be a Patriots fan ever,

1278
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,600
Speaker 1: and that's never going to change. Um mc daddy is

1279

1281
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 1: beefed up. Oh it's so good. Um, Bill Belichick plaint Center, Hello, Daddy, Like,

1282
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: let's go, daddy, Daddy. So I'm excited about the Pats.

1283
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: I'm also l A you know, personal, I'll probably be

1284
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: plugged in on the l A teams just by living here,

1285
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: but you know, totally, I don't know, yeh, Connie, give

1286
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 1: us one more, Okay, do you want Super NFL or

1287
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 1: my like your hearty? Well, okay, So I am like

1288
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm feeling gay for two running backs this season, Handmakers

1289
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: and Javante Williams. Like for Acres, I'm just excited for

1290
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: him to actually be healthy and himself because he had

1291
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 1: the injury, came back like miraculously for that regular season

1292
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: finale and through the playoffs, but like he still wasn't

1293
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 1: the same. So I feel like McVeigh loves him. He's

1294
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:35,720
Speaker 1: gonna be great for that offense. I think he's going

1295
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: to do really well. But Javonte Williams, like that's my

1296
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 1: making the lead candidate. Gang had two things going against

1297
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,480
Speaker 1: him last year. The fact that they didn't have a quarterback,

1298
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 1: um so defense is never never respected the past. And

1299
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:54,800
Speaker 1: then also he was splitting carries with Melvin Gordon, which

1300
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: can't continue. Like I would imagine that Javante, they see

1301
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 1: how talent untied he is and they give him the

1302
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: lion's share of the work. But even just pff looking

1303
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 1: at his mis tackles, the fource mis tackles he had

1304
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: last year sixty three of them. That was second to

1305
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: only Jonathan Taylor, who had the most in the League

1306
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 1: sixty six and you think about all the work that

1307
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor had last year. He had a hundred and

1308
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 1: twenty nine more carries than Javonte Williams. Javonte Williams is

1309
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:25,720
Speaker 1: going to be a beast if they let him be

1310
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: a beast. Totally gay for them. See that for making

1311
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: the leap Okay, that's a great one. That's a that's

1312
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: a great observation NFL stuff this morning. I'm exhausted. It

1313
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: makes me think about like early period Nick Chubb. Yeah,

1314
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: where that podcast Let's go. This guy's super talented dude,

1315
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: and you know he kind of was breaking through, but

1316
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 1: what if he was made the feature guy? What would happen?

1317
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: And now you put him in a better situation fantasy

1318
01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: hats and we got the Fantasy Travaganza coming up in

1319
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: a couple of months. I feel like he's going to

1320
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: be greggy. You built it brick by brick, rode a world.

1321
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Javante Williams. Is he a top No? Well, you could

1322
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: probably check it out there that they've been doing these

1323
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: best ball drafts. I doubt it because not now because

1324
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is there. Why Melvin Gordon is great, I

1325
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 1: mean great is maybe an exaggeration, but very very good.

1326
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't you feature him a walk? Get them both?

1327
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Yea for fantasy. Isn't there a big difference between those

1328
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: two guys though in terms of their ceiling? Yeah, but

1329
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 1: I think I'm I think most running backs he is

1330
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 1: getting taken in the top twenty there would not. I

1331
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: would not want him because I think would like come

1332
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 1: back Melvin Gordon. Like people just want to think he's

1333
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: not a good player, but he's good on all three downs.

1334
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: He's good in short yards, he's good on third down.

1335
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Like you should. I sort of the mind you should

1336
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 1: always use multiple running backs if you have them, if

1337
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: you can. I'm with you, and I think it's gonna occur.

1338
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 1: I mean, how many Not to devolve into fantasy conversation,

1339
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 1: but it does feel like so many backfields are two

1340
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 1: headed down. The fact that he's in top fifteen is

1341
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 1: pretty talent. I think, I tell you exactly. It tells

1342
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: you that there is what what not? Just keep it pushing, Well,

1343
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: you can't do it like inside joke last with a

1344
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 1: microphone in your mouth. I'm sitting like a foot from

1345
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: her and hearing every little comments, and I'm the Mike

1346
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: is hearing everything too. Don't worry. That's what. That's all

1347
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think that's good to have on. Let's

1348
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: see what else I got here. That's a good one though,

1349
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 1: That was that was a good football. That was good

1350
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 1: because we haven't really talked about it, right, Mark famously

1351
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 1: um was really exciting kicked off our segment here last

1352
01:17:56,600 --> 01:18:00,719
Speaker 1: year by talking about Geo Geo Bernard's role. I'm third

1353
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:02,640
Speaker 1: downs and I asked Mark this week because we had

1354
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 1: already kind of went back in memory lane about this

1355
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 1: and I and I'll ask you here, like, how was

1356
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,600
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard's experience for you as a fan? Because you

1357
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: were so excited going into it. I think it's totally

1358
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 1: delivered in every possible way. I don't know whether there

1359
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: be any question about that. It was Wait, has Mark

1360
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,879
Speaker 1: had any Wait? You had one? Only so so memorable?

1361
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 1: Greg has no concept in all? Right, where do I

1362
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: want to go with this? Let's see, here's my list,

1363
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 1: Baker comeback season. I have all the Jets are hot

1364
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 1: now literally. The Athletic reported that Michael la Fleur, according

1365
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: to Robert Salet, is way more jack this year after

1366
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:45,680
Speaker 1: spending the off season in the gym, he's already How

1367
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: is that not a trope? So now we have just

1368
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 1: now we have quarterback went from two oh two to

1369
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: one shredded. We got the head coach who's basically like

1370
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,679
Speaker 1: one of the hottest dudes alive. And then you have

1371
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:05,600
Speaker 1: even the dudes cut what you don't think so? So?

1372
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 1: I mean that's a tai bar there, one of the

1373
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: hot Robert sala Is top ten hottest met alive. No,

1374
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: that is so not accurate. If they play like the season,

1375
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: maybe you know, and it doesn't work out, they can

1376
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 1: come here and sort of have like a all male

1377
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: reviewer something Boulevard. All the Jet now, all the just

1378
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 1: nine now is for Eric Decker to come out of

1379
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: retirement and it's the hottest team ever anyway, But that's

1380
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: not where I'm going. Let's see Josh McDaniels new daddy voice.

1381
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: You guys plugging on this that I have it all right,

1382
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 1: Let's hear the new zaddy voice. This isn't coming directly

1383
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:49,799
Speaker 1: from Josh when it's from who is it? Brandon Bolden

1384
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: speaking on how Josh McDaniels has changed as someone who

1385
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: used to be in New England. Brandon Bolden and now

1386
01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, when he was the o C, but

1387
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: now he's the head coach the same he just says

1388
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: it a little more stern. Now. It's like if you

1389
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 1: was getting babysited by your older brother and now the

1390
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: parents are nowhere at home, you're stuck with your big

1391
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: brother for the weekend. It's kind of like that great

1392
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: And I was going to say, some of the big brother,

1393
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 1: you're just looking around for Danger. We have lost in

1394
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: case you get Danger has been up to the bar

1395
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: about five times. But now I don't even see him up.

1396
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: I will say, when I went to the bathroom, here

1397
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,600
Speaker 1: in the mirror, it's carved Danger. I swear to go.

1398
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:38,400
Speaker 1: He's the women's backroom. So you guys, because I knew

1399
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 1: you guys have done a lot of pushback on me

1400
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: about Mike McCarthy's Zadie energy, which I'm all in on,

1401
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:50,520
Speaker 1: But now I'm saying Zadie energy for Josh McDaniels. You guys.

1402
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:54,759
Speaker 1: He literally got the keys to the organization. He's walking

1403
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 1: around making, you know, the tuck rule jokes and all that.

1404
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: He thinks he's the hottest thing ever, and I kind

1405
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 1: of buy it. I don't know if I feel like

1406
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:04,879
Speaker 1: if it needs to be pointed out that you're suddenly

1407
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: speaking with a more stern voice and you're being told

1408
01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 1: that you're just an older brother while the actual parents

1409
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,640
Speaker 1: are away. Like I it feels a little ironic to

1410
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,080
Speaker 1: me that maybe he's not a total city checking out

1411
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: was just like making a joke to reporters and like

1412
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna we don't need to dissect everything that they

1413
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 1: smart your take. I'm locked in on a little bit,

1414
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: But I also want to give Josh. You know, we're

1415
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: giving a shot here to clean up some things. It's

1416
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 1: been a little so I welcome the transformation. I'm just

1417
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 1: saying that the way that it was phrased kind of

1418
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: has some qualifiers to it, right, Like he's trying to

1419
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 1: play the part rather than actually is like he hasn't

1420
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: spoken with a stern voice in forty nine years, but

1421
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:48,080
Speaker 1: suddenly now he's in a new role and he's changing

1422
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: his voice. It's like I can think of another coach

1423
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: that went south and changed their voice and took a

1424
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 1: lot of flak for it, like Daniel, Wait, what Bryan

1425
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: Kelly goes down suddenly at a country accent. I think

1426
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: most people know what I'm referring to. Yeah, I'm with you.

1427
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 1: Mark's not taking any ship today. I like it. You're

1428
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:17,640
Speaker 1: talking about Brian Kelly, I am talking and then he

1429
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 1: was he was like from the Bayou Southern draw he

1430
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: adopted on the plane ride south. Like any time that

1431
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: anyone calls you out for like changing your voice or

1432
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:30,680
Speaker 1: like being something that you're not is not good. Are

1433
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 1: we talking about Russell Wilson again? I'm gonna throw up,

1434
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: throwing out just because you're talking like the Jets being

1435
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:40,720
Speaker 1: hotter and more fit, and I will show some of

1436
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:43,640
Speaker 1: my fandom here, uh that I'm gay for Mac and

1437
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm gay for this totally bizarre Patriots off season that

1438
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: everyone's hating. Now it's like gone on so long that

1439
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:55,839
Speaker 1: I'm I'm countering that the fact that supposedly at practice

1440
01:22:56,360 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 1: they're doing all this zone uh run blocking stuff, and

1441
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: that they're like out of nowhere adopting like a Kyle

1442
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Shanahan type Sean McVeigh offense, which apparently Bill Belichicks wanted

1443
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 1: to do forever, but like now there's no guardrails. It's

1444
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 1: just like Bill gone wild, Like when Josh McDaniels and

1445
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: Nikosia and everyone else were like, well, we didn't really

1446
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: have the personnel to do that, and you know, we're

1447
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 1: doing this and that. Now it's like Bills doing whatever

1448
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 1: the he wants. He's snapping the center, he's putting Patricia

1449
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 1: as the play caller. He's trying to be like Sean

1450
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:31,759
Speaker 1: McVeigh on offense. He's got this underrated second year quarterback.

1451
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 1: And it all just seems like, uh messy in a

1452
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 1: way that the Patriots never are. But I'm embracing the

1453
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: mess I think than Josh McDaniels and gigantic d g

1454
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 1: a f right. I do kind of enjoy it. He's

1455
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: like he's like his his um longtime spouse from now

1456
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: this isn't this isn't the truth here, but like, let's

1457
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 1: just say he had a long time spouse. He has

1458
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: a girlfriend, we love Linda, but let's say that didn't

1459
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 1: happen where maybe he's embracing new uh frontiers. Maybe maybe

1460
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: he comes comes here for the Pride episode and at

1461
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: seventy realizes to live the way he wants to live.

1462
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: Go Shanahan, you know what I'm saying, that's a good

1463
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 1: take because it's way better than the alternative, is it right?

1464
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of here for it even if it's

1465
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: super messy and it goes like horribly. I kind of

1466
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: different the Bill fell off right, It's it's out there

1467
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:30,679
Speaker 1: as a possibility. But he's got this kid, He's got

1468
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, who I truly do believe in. Um has

1469
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,679
Speaker 1: a higher, much higher ceiling than anyone seems to want

1470
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 1: to give him credit for that. He could be a

1471
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback this year, that he could be the

1472
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 1: next you know, very good quarterback. Let's go none of us.

1473
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: They're playing Sharon Osborne. This was a big song and um,

1474
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: you know around the NFL history because uh we were

1475
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 1: maybe we weren't all weren't there, but we were at

1476
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: the lesbian bar in Indianapolis with the Wesley brothers. You're

1477
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 1: just kinda guess what's the next song that is going

1478
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,679
Speaker 1: to be played? And I put down? Man, I feel

1479
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 1: like a woman. This one. No, I put this one

1480
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 1: down was a karaoke it let's be on a karaoke.

1481
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: What if God was one of us? Joean Osborne? The

1482
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 1: next fine song, I take all that money. Greg is

1483
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,719
Speaker 1: loose and we are not legally about love to gamble

1484
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 1: at the next drinking water. But at least it wasn't

1485
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: at a league event. That's true. That's true. Well, well

1486
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: why were in Indian Mark? What else do you got? Mark?

1487
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 1: I have a personal one that I am very gay

1488
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: for swimming, for aquatics, Like I just joined a pool

1489
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: and I went swimming yesterday for the first time, like

1490
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: in a lap pool and probably like twenties something years

1491
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 1: and it was very full, but it was me, and uh,

1492
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, you have to share the lane with another person.

1493
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:53,479
Speaker 1: It was a man who was like eighty eight years

1494
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:55,360
Speaker 1: old and going like one mile an hour. So I

1495
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 1: kind of felt bad because I I destroyed him, but

1496
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,040
Speaker 1: it was like, um, I think I have found the

1497
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: thing that I wanted to do with my body for

1498
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 1: the next couple there is something. There is a pattern

1499
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 1: emerging Mark with you in secondary sports where you come

1500
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 1: on our show and you explain you were at an

1501
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: event and then you dominated everyone else that was there,

1502
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 1: and there's never any other video or any other evidence

1503
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: out there, and we we take you on it. Because

1504
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,840
Speaker 1: the first example was I destroyed my nine year old

1505
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: and tennis. Do you not find that feasible? I mean

1506
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 1: it's like he had never played twice. Now your wife

1507
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: was involved as well. You did you dismember the entire family.

1508
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:40,679
Speaker 1: I'm merely I'm merely pointing out that some of these

1509
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:44,879
Speaker 1: exploits don't have a lot of they're they're not cited

1510
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:46,439
Speaker 1: with any evidence. What do you want me to do?

1511
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:48,640
Speaker 1: Like the swim thing where you wear a cap and

1512
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 1: everyone does the same emotion. I think for the people

1513
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 1: that love swimming, it's almost like a religion. It's very peaceful,

1514
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 1: it's probably good for mental health, it's it's good for

1515
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: your addies. Certainly those swimmers bodies you know, don draper

1516
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: about it. And then and this is where the gay

1517
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 1: odd bood has been should step in. But this is

1518
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: asking for a lot. The Swimmer um is maybe one

1519
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 1: of the most and definitely one of the gayest short

1520
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 1: stories uh in American literature history. When they teach you

1521
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: short stories, they start with The Swimmer by John Cheever,

1522
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 1: who is a gay icon. He's on my top five list. Well,

1523
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,720
Speaker 1: I think that book needs a sequel. We only have two.

1524
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 1: We need three more. Okay, rufus urfus Wow. I think

1525
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,639
Speaker 1: that's that was great. That was I'm not a lost

1526
01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm happy for you. Marsawn bomb. Yeah, I don't know,

1527
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 1: maybe this isn't a bomb. Maybe you guys know this already.

1528
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 1: Better not be coming out of retirement or retiring there

1529
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: were there. Yeah, Jason Garrett will replace Drew Brees on

1530
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 1: NBC's NFL pregame show. It's like, I love these tris

1531
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 1: skits that I bought playing, not like the ones with

1532
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 1: the sprinkles on them, just plane trisk its, um, but

1533
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 1: I want something different. Yeah, they have triskits with lots

1534
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 1: of different flavors, but exact garlic whatever's in the studio.

1535
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 1: And it's like, I don't want I don't want main

1536
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 1: trist gits. I want to change it up. I'll get

1537
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 1: the mini triskts, you know. That's what I'll do, Mini trades.

1538
01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 1: Understand this analogy you get. It's like you're both placing

1539
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 1: wonder bread with with another type of white bread. He's

1540
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:33,439
Speaker 1: not like I don't care as much about the America. Okay,

1541
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 1: all right, well yeah that's a good update. I thought

1542
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: you said Marshawn. He meant Marshawn Lynch photo with the

1543
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:48,440
Speaker 1: cleats on the wire. Like the Super Bowl in San Francisco,

1544
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 1: West had to stop down, stop watching the Super Bowl

1545
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 1: and write like a six word breaking news item on

1546
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:56,519
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch coming back into the game, by the way,

1547
01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: breaking news This from p f T who was called

Speaker 1: del Rio press conference. How he disagreed with Mike Florio, Greg,

1551
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: you have much much to settle with your old boss

1552
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 1: and that will be an offseason. Well, this is one.

1553
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 1: This is one I loved. I know he loved it

1554
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 1: so um. According to Commander's head coach Ron Rivera, he

1555
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:29,200

01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:37,759
Speaker 1: command of our offense. He's getting ready because he believes

1557
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 1: that he can. He just might if we all pull

1558
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 1: together be ready to take command. As we all know,

1559
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: decided to really go ahead. And you know, after all

1560
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:49,840
Speaker 1: the other stuff we talked about earlier in the show,

1561
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm all the way back into sure, Arrow up, Arrow Up?

1564
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:01,760
Speaker 1: this and I'm just using this podcast to uh to

1565
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 1: give him a recommendation I think he'd like because he

1566
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 1: likes Mike you're a big Michael Man guy. Yes, I

1567
01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 1: like Michael Man. Okay. The UM first episode of Tokyo Vice.

1568
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:14,280
Speaker 1: What do they call the first episode? Why am I blanking? Pilot?

1569
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: The pilot of Tokyo Vice directed by Michael Man. He

1570
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 1: is the executive producer. It's set in the nineties underworld

1571
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:28,200
Speaker 1: in Tokyo, uh and this the scene. The show is

1572
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:30,759
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I would recommend it to everyone.

1573
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:33,439
Speaker 1: He doesn't direct every episode, he is an executive producer.

1574
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:36,680
Speaker 1: But the show puts you in Tokyo. It made me

1575
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 1: want to go to Tokyo. I will be going in

1576
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Shout out to Hedeco Wattanabe forgetting

1577
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:45,719
Speaker 1: a lot of paperwork. They still haven't opened up the country,

1578
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:48,280
Speaker 1: so I gotta get a visa. Whenever Greg suggests a

1579
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:51,839
Speaker 1: book to me, it's been a home run. UM shows

1580
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 1: very similar and so I will watch it. And Michael

1581
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 1: Man also has been busy at work creating and writing

1582
01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:01,360
Speaker 1: Heat to the novel. So that's another one to put

1583
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:02,760
Speaker 1: on your radar. But I think you would like the

1584
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 1: show too. I'm gay for Tokey Advices. It's fun. That's good.

1585
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:08,000
Speaker 1: That's been on my list to get to it feels

1586
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 1: like there's so much stuff that it's almost too much.

1587
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: It's like they gotta figure it out. The the entertainment

1588
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:18,760
Speaker 1: got in the senting. They gotta dial it back a

1589
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 1: little bit. They have to figure out like pacing, just

1590
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,679
Speaker 1: like us to be like, you know what you're getting.

1591
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:30,599
Speaker 1: You're getting original content from September to May and then

1592
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:32,799
Speaker 1: a break and then you could catch up on reruns

1593
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:35,599
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. We need to figure this out

1594
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:37,760
Speaker 1: now for the digital world, the streaming wars, it's a

1595
01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 1: barrage because we're just and then their move and maybe

1596
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 1: this is just interference they're running. It's like then you

1597
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,920
Speaker 1: must sign up for everything to catch up, and then

1598
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're like dropping twenty grand, you know,

1599
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:53,160
Speaker 1: a year on streaming services. You guys got it. There's

1600
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 1: my take checked out of the show, by the way,

1601
01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: and he's starting to eat the rest of his last

1602
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:01,719
Speaker 1: that I was gave it. Is it true that Greg

1603
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 1: was flaunting his wealth on the latest episode of The

1604
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 1: Jesslyn Resio I really wasn't. I don't know why. She said,

1605
01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:15,679
Speaker 1: no more definitely less than playing backing music. Mommy, I said,

1606
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 1: it was like, oh it was great. It was great

1607
01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:20,719
Speaker 1: to finally uh get a nice bump. It wasn't too crazy.

1608
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 1: I think you used the words like, now I'm paid

1609
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 1: like a player. Finally? Is that true? Now? Are you

1610
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:30,719
Speaker 1: sure I said I'm not played? I was like saying,

1611
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 1: kind of like when players talk about like that's a

1612
01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 1: big day in their lives when they get a contract,

1613
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 1: when not that I'm paid like a player. But can

1614
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 1: we borrow your credit card? I wish? Yeah, sure, alright,

1615
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:51,760
Speaker 1: let's anything. Let's let's like Greg eat his rap, Let's

1616
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:53,960
Speaker 1: wrap it up? How long is the show? I really

1617
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: have wrapped it up? Is the one hour thirty two minutes?

1618
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 1: Any scoreboard for the gay pun um budsman? Like who

1619
01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:06,800
Speaker 1: had the most too? I think you you probably did

1620
01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:10,640
Speaker 1: unintentionally um, which was good. No. I think it was

1621
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:12,840
Speaker 1: a good showing all around. I think everyone really stepped

1622
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:16,439
Speaker 1: up to the plate. Fun. Second annual Pridecast with you

1623
01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:19,840
Speaker 1: around the NFL podcast is in the books a lot

1624
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:22,559
Speaker 1: of fun. Keep doing it, Eric, You're no longer going

1625
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 1: to be with the company in a couple of days,

1626
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:28,519
Speaker 1: but will you continue to come and visit us from

1627
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:31,960
Speaker 1: time to time if your new employer allows it. Yes,

1628
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:35,320
Speaker 1: I would absolutely love it, and I'm super thankful and

1629
01:33:35,360 --> 01:33:38,400
Speaker 1: grateful for the last you know. However, it's been so

1630
01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 1: long at the NFL, and without you guys, and without

1631
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:44,200
Speaker 1: you guys all pushing me to to do more, I

1632
01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't be getting offered these opportunities that I am right now.

1633
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 1: And so I am truthfully forever indebted and love you

1634
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 1: guys more than more than words could could say. To supers,

1635
01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:01,840
Speaker 1: were all say where you're going next? But um, it

1636
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:05,439
Speaker 1: certainly seems like you're gonna absolutely destroy the position that

1637
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:07,519
Speaker 1: you've been presented with. And I mean that in a

1638
01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 1: good way, obviously, not take it down, but you buy it. Marks.

1639
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 1: I feel like we're maybe of similar minds the Sam

1640
01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:17,080
Speaker 1: Donald's corollary here, we want her to get to a

1641
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:20,160
Speaker 1: certain level. I don't know if we were a similar

1642
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 1: minds where if she were to be successful, that it

1643
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:23,880
Speaker 1: would keep me up at night the same way that

1644
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:28,120
Speaker 1: I think it might keep you up at night. But

1645
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 1: to your own words, to your own words, do you

1646
01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: want to announce it and bleep it? Um? I mean,

1647
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:37,559
Speaker 1: what would the point be? But I don't feel good right?

1648
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:41,479
Speaker 1: Everyone knows, but yeah, no, I um, so I am

1649
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna be oh amazing. It's like I know, I know,

1650
