1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? John Middletop three

2
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: and out podcast. I'd be lying if I said my

3
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: juices weren't flowing. If I was still excited from from

4
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: the weekend, and it hasn't. I have not come down

5
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: off the high, the high that is the National Football League.

6
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: What a time to be alive, What a what a weekend?

7
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: It really is remarkable. We have the final four set now.

8
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: Uh still the the Alan Mahomes hard to get that

9
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: out of my head. We're gonna dive into a lot Stafford.

10
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: I saw a quote Joe Burrow had that I think

11
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: is very uh, I think it's very important. He said

12
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: it to Albert Breer in the Monday Morning Quarterback. Some

13
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: o t rules. There's a lot of buzz out there

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: about the overtime. Have a couple thoughts there. There's a rumor,

15
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: not a rumor, I mean it's a story Sean Payton

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: might take a year off. Um, have a take on that.

17
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: And then just kind of the hiring cycle Brian day

18
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: Ball because Joe Shane, I think it's the way you

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: say his name hired as the Giants general manager might

20
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: hire Brian day Ball. They clearly just worked together in Buffalo. Uh,

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon is a guy that's getting some buzz. Dan

22
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: Quinn now is interviewing with everyone, So we we got

23
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: some movement there that will dive into. And then of

24
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,800

32
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: smart move PGA tour. Let's sve into some football. I

33
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: was thinking about this today with Matt Stafford, and he

34
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: was a pretty polarizing player the majority of his career.

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: Remember when he got drafted, the rookie Wade scale was

36
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: not in place. You could make like sixty seventy eighty

37
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: million dollars as a rook You remember the contracts guys

38
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: like Matt Stafford, Sam Bradford and the Dominican Sioux were

39
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: signing in the mid two thousands. They were immediately making

40
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: more than the majority of the NFL, and then he

41
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: played forever in Detroit. Let's face it, historic waste land.

42
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: They're two best players in the history of the franchise

43
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: retired at thirty. Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson tells you

44
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: everything you need to know. Now, I listen. I feel

45
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: for Lions fans. The highlight of their year every single

46
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: season is is Thanksgiving Day, and I'm a believer they

47
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: should get that game like they're their grandfather did. I

48
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: have no problem with it. But when Matt Stafford went

49
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: to his I guess management owner at the end of

50
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: the season last year before Dan Campbell was hired, and

51
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: said it's time for a change, Well, listen, sometimes we

52
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: all need to change. You know, I've I've changed career

53
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: multiple times. I've been anyone listening to this under forty

54
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: is change careers a lot. My generation jumps around jobs.

55
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: My parents had the same job my entire life. My

56
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: mom worked in the same place for thirty years. My

57
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: dad had the same job his entire adult life. Like that,

58
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: that generation, they did one thing. We change a lot.

59
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: We're not quite like coaches, but we are not setting

60
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: our ways we can adapt and change on the fly.

61
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: We're more open minded and sometimes when you make a change,

62
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't always work, and sometimes when you do make

63
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: a change, it works. We've all been relationships. Anyone listening

64
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: to this, unless you married, like your high school sweetheart,

65
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: you've probably broken up with someone. And if you're married,

66
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: you dated different people. Well, they're typically a reason that

67
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: you break up with someone. You think you I don't

68
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: know whether you can do better, whether that person isn't

69
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: right for you, and you just think that you know,

70
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: it's it's just best to make a change now. You

71
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: never know how it's gonna play out. Sometimes it can

72
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: be scary. But in the sport of football andlike dating,

73
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: well kind of like dating, when you hit the open market,

74
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: you kind of find out how valuable you are. And

75
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: when when Matt Stafford hit the open market and it

76
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: was clear he was available for trades, you know the

77
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: two guys that were at the front of the line

78
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: willing to trade the farm form, Sean McVeigh and Kyle Shanahan.

79
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, the forty Niners desperately wanted Matt Stafford, Sean

80
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: McVeigh and the inside track because ultimately they wanted Jared

81
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: Goff and not Jimmy Garoppolo. Now you could argue that

82
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: in age that well, because the forty Niners would have

83
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: done the exact same trade two ones, A three and

84
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo for Matt Stafford. But it was kind of

85
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: an inside job because the former GM for the Rams

86
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: was now the GM of the Lions, and they did

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: the deal. And let's face it, during this season, I'm

88
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: someone that had been critical of Matt Stafford and I

89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: love the talent. I know players who have been around

90
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: him in Detroit, they swear by the guy. They love

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: the guy. I root for the human being. I wrote

92
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: for humans as much as players. Right, if you're a

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: great player, but I find out you're kind of a slappy,

94
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: a bad guy, Like I'm not a huge fan. But

95
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: when I and because I have access to people, when

96
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: I go Middle Coff, you love this guy. This guy

97
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: is awesome. It's why it's why I pivoted so hard

98
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson. I started hearing stories from people around him.

99
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: They're like, bro, this is the greatest guy we've ever

100
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: been around. I'm like, I'm in you know, so I

101
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: naturally root for good guys who were talented. But then

102
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: you watch the season and let's face it, he struggled

103
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: to shake the Detroit thing like that was a problem.

104
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: He looked like Detroit Matt Stafford at times, even down

105
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: the stretch of the season, right that Ravens game, the

106
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: pick six, the Niners game, the debacle that was Week eighteen.

107
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: But they still won the division and they still, you know,

108
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: control their own destiny in the sense they had a

109
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: home playoff game and then that Arizona game, and we

110
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: can say whatever they want, Arizona was sinking chip and

111
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: they were. He was awesome in that game, completely dialed.

112
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: And then the game yesterday against Tampa, awesome, biggest throw

113
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: of his career, obviously he'd never even been in the

114
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: second round of the playoffs. The dime, he throws a

115
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: Cooper coup. You can say, oh you want, he's wide open.

116
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: We've seen Maynard Sanders was once wide open. Jimmy Garoppolo

117
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: threw it over his head, Wes Welker was once wide open.

118
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady threw it over his head. Like not every

119
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: pass is perfect, even from great players, So sorry, Aaron Rodgers,

120
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: like he hasn't been perfect in the playoffs, Matt Stafford

121
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: needed to hit that pass, and he did. Sean McVeigh

122
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: changed the guy's life, changed his career forever. First year

123
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: Boom NFC Championship game. And think about this, he goes

124
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: to the Rams and that mindset of will trade any picks,

125
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: will do whatever it takes to win, kind of like

126
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: an NBA team just trading first round picks. They don't

127
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: give a ship. Well, they've already been proven, right, Who

128
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: cares about the first round pick if you're in the NFC,

129
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: if you're hosting the NFC championship game. And here's the

130
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: other thing. As the season went on, lose Robert Woods.

131
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: Now they didn't know this at the time, but they

132
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: were super aggressive to get Odell Beckham. Listen, I'm not

133
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: the biggest O b J guy, but he's looked pretty

134
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: good the last three or four weeks. Looks really good.

135
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: He was really good yesterday. He's been good the last

136
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: two weeks. And then you know their defense needs a

137
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: little of second third round pick. Whatever. We're living in

138
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: the present, it's all about winning the championship. Now, our

139
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: owner just bought or paid for a five six billion

140
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: dollar stadium. Here's a two, here's a three, and I

141
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: thought it was kind of crazy. I'm like, and listen,

142
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was wrong. This guy is gonna be

143
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: a free agent. He's not quite the same player. Those

144
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: are valuable picks. Well, now, who gives a ship about

145
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: a pick at the end of the second or the

146
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: third round. When von Miller is getting you sacks every

147
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: single game and he looks like a Pro Bowl level player.

148
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: It worked. No team has been more aggressive with draft

149
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: capital in cash to try to improve their squad on

150
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: and off the field. So Fi Stadium. I've I've been

151
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: to a lot of places in really the world. I

152
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: had a little, you know, traveling to your up that

153
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: it's one of the most remarkable sites I've ever seen.

154
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: And I've seen the Sistine Chapel, I've seen the Colosseum

155
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: in Rome. I've seen Jerry's Palace. I've seen some pretty

156
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: cool places. That fucking thing blows you away. And then

157
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: on the field, every chip in the middle of the

158
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: table stand keeps giving them the go ahead. They keep

159
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: risking the picks. It's worth it because right now they're

160
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: sitting sixty minutes awaite. Now they're basically their rival. McVeigh

161
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: beat him three or four times. Shanahan's won the last

162
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: six games. Uh. That game that they won this year

163
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: really the two games the Niners won this year. Their

164
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: season was in the brink early in the season, they

165
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: were three and five, played them on Monday night, beat

166
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: the crap at them Week eighteen. They literally had to

167
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: win to get into the playoffs. So that there's gonna

168
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: be if if the Rams had won that game, they

169
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: would not be playing the Niners this week. Think about that,

170
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: So that there's gonna be things of this game. It's

171
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: got a little bit of a vibe of Seattle forty

172
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: Niners way back with Hardball and Pete Carroll because of

173
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: the rivalry those coaches had. Now it's a little different.

174
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: Once upon a time, Hardball, you know, and Pete Carroll

175
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: had the what's your deal moment at the at the

176
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: fifty yard line Stanford USC, So there was some build up,

177
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: some pack twelve. This is kind of these guys have

178
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: worked together, even though there's feels like they're friends. Uh,

179
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they talk that much regularly anymore. I

180
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: this this is awesome. I mean, I I can't wait.

181
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: Enormous moment for Matt Stafford like, ultimately, Jimmy Garoppolo is

182
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: always gonna be a really polarizing player. But Matt Stafford,

183
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: some people talk about him like one of the best

184
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: players in the league. You win the NFC championship game,

185
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: you you go to a super Bowl, you know he's

186
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: gonna start validating his career and his critics. It's gonna

187
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: really look like Detroit were the village idiots that entire time.

188
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: I saw this quote from Joe Burrow, and I thought

189
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: it really encapsulates why the four teams are left and

190
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: why the good teams in the NFL consistently win. It's

191
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: why the Patriots and the type guys they built for

192
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: so long. And it always comes up during draft time

193
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: whenever you find out a player like, you know, this

194
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: guy's this guy like like playing piano more than football.

195
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: You know, this guy likes uh, this guy might want

196
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: to become a doctor while he's playing. And teams are like,

197
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a little iffy, and all the media,

198
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're all from academia. They get very

199
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: bothered by that. Why do you care about other interests?

200
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: No one cares about other interests. It's it's football, your

201
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: number one priority. If football is not your number one priority,

202
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna draft you high or I'm gonna sign

203
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: you do a lot of money, you know we got issues.

204
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: You know what, Elon must number one priority, Tesla, you

205
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: know what, Jeff Bezos is number one priority forever Amazon.

206
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: You know what Tom Brady's number one priority was the

207
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: majority of his life his football team playing quarterback. Peyton Manning, Like,

208
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: just go around all the top players. Like to say

209
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: what you want about Lebron James, what he does for

210
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: his body and is locked in for basketball. Is his

211
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: number one priority. If if football is not your number

212
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: one priority, I have to question if I want to

213
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: invest a lot into you. And Joe Burrow said this

214
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: to Albert Breer right after the game. We have a

215
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: lot of players that it really really matters to. And

216
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: when I think about these four teams, like one thing

217
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: is clear with Joe Burrow, football is his number one priority.

218
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: Now you're you know your family or faith. You know

219
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: when I got involved in football, and I think it's

220
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: a longstanding kind of motto is faith family football, family football, faith,

221
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: what however order you want to make it, but football

222
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: has to be a priority level in that right a

223
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: lot of people, family, God come first, and rightfully so,

224
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: and for the best, football is right there with him.

225
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: And I would argue anyone that's super successful in business,

226
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: whatever they're doing, they could be a chef, they could

227
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: own some retail store, they could sell fucking Mercedes, whatever

228
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: that business. If they're at the top, it means a

229
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: lot to them. And it's why that when the draft

230
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: comes around, the media gets so uncomfortable when we're like,

231
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: we don't really want balance, guys. I want football to

232
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: mean everything to you. And the best part about this industry.

233
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: If it does and you're good, you get paid a

234
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: premium and then you can retire at thirty two. Yeah,

235
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: the rest of your life with a ton of cash

236
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: in the bank. You get to do something very very

237
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: special and be highly compensated for it. But it is

238
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: hard at the highest level, as you saw this weekend,

239
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: if you don't truly, truly, deep down in your bones,

240
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: really give a ship. Like I think a big reason

241
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: the forty Niners overcame kind of mediocre quarterback play. Their

242
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: team is littered, and I mean littered with complete football guys.

243
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: You watch the reason that Josh Allen could go toe

244
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: to Hote With Mahomes, it's not obviously he has special talent.

245
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: Do you understand how the energy and the effort that

246
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: guy has put in over the years, what football has

247
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: to mean to that guy to improve to that level?

248
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: Do you know why the Kansas City Chiefs are going

249
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: to their fourth straight hosting their four straight a f

250
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: C championship game because they're best players and they clearly

251
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: and really they got four. Chris Jones is right there too,

252
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: Honey Badger got KOed. But did you see Chris Jones

253
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: on the sideline getting into it with his guys. He's

254
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: their best defensive player and he's so locked in and

255
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: so fired up. And then their core guys on offense,

256
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey and Tyree Hill. Football, you can't

257
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: even dispute it when you're best players and it means

258
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: everything to them, and they truly care about winning, and

259
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: winning isn't just winning is their life? Because it is

260
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: with coaches, right you see Andy reid Er, Sean McDermot

261
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: or Sean McVeigh, Kyle Shanner and Bill Belichick like they

262
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: are obsessed with football. Football to them, they care about

263
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: it like it's humanly impossible. To care about football more

264
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: than the coaches do. That it's an unhealthy addiction they have.

265
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: It's why when they can find players that are on

266
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: their level. You see it with Peyton Manny, see it

267
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. You're now seeing it with Mahomes and

268
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: Alan and I think Travis Kelsey is that way in

269
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: my backyard. I see with George Kittle and Fred Warner.

270
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: These guys are love football to just every core of

271
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: their being. You can win big. Every team has guys

272
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: that random, guys that caroline about football. Maybe a backup,

273
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: but if if those are the guys on your team

274
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: that it really means something to you have a ceiling.

275
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: Like the reason that the Bengals went from joke to

276
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: now in the a f C Championship game is because

277
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: their best player, Joe Burrow, is a football addict and

278
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: this game of football means everything to him. And I'm

279
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: not you know, I'm not saying more than his parents are,

280
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: more than his faith, but it's on that level. And

281
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: when you have that, this guy is the limit. And

282
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: I think it's it's cool to watch the Aaron Donald

283
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: in that game against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night.

284
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: Football was fighting people up to nothing. I was trying

285
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: to rip a guy's head off as they're beating the

286
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: living piss out of him. You don't think playing in

287
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: these playoff games mean a lot to ninety nine, A

288
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: guy that if he never played in the playoffs this

289
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: year is going to the Hall of Fame. You don't

290
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: think it means a lot to him. J J. Watt

291
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: came back from his arm getting basically ripped off. You

292
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: don't think football means a lot to J. J. Watt.

293
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: So when the draft comes up and we have these

294
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: controversial takes on guys. Did you see the viral video

295
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: that went on Cabon Thibodeaux, how he talked about why

296
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: he went to Oregon over Alabama, don't be surprised when

297
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: he slipped in the draft a little bit. Get ready

298
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: for it because it's coming. I'm not saying he's gonna

299
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: go in the second round, but when he's like, damn,

300
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: how did this guy go ninth overall? Google Google the video,

301
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: then holler back at me. I also was thinking about this,

302
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: and I vividly remember I think Tom Coughlin when they

303
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: when they first went on their big run in OH

304
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: eight and they ended up winning that Super Bowl. But

305
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: I think it was in the NFC playoffs he used

306
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: to address his team and the videos would go viral

307
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: on TV or whatever. I mean. I think it was

308
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: a little pre like Twitter, and I guess Facebook was there.

309
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: But he used to be like, be humble in victory.

310
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: And I was watching Kyle Shanahan's press conference and he

311
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: was just saying, like, we easily could have lost that game.

312
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: And in this game, the margin for errors are so small.

313
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: It's why you have to be humble. Right, any person

314
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: listening to this, you know, if if you're old and

315
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, past probably thirty five or forty, you've had

316
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: something professionally that has rocked your world, it is it's

317
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: not that hard in this country we live in to

318
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: go from the penthouse to the outhouse fast. Now. Luckily,

319
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: because of the opportunities capitalism provides, you can go from

320
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: the outhouse back to the penthouse, or at least back

321
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: to you know, a solid place in the building pretty quick.

322
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: But it's very easy in this world, in business, like

323
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: in football, to get humbled very very quickly. Some stuffs

324
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: out of our control, right, things happen and it can

325
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: just rock your world. It's why when things are going

326
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: well for you, especially economically. You know, the people that

327
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: pump their chests and brag get kind of exhausting. It's

328
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: why no one feels sorry for them when ship hits

329
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: the fan, right. And I was texting with the buddy

330
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: last night on the Chiefs and I was like, you know,

331
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: it's gotta be a cool and he's been there for

332
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: a while, it's gotta be the coolest victory. He's like,

333
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: this place was berserk, and I'm like, you know, for

334
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: as awesome as your building is gonna be tonight and

335
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: definitely tomorrow on Monday morning, can you imagine how shitty

336
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: that Bill's vibe is. I mean, it was a bad

337
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: bounce here, a screw up by the special team's coach.

338
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: They're like, it's the margin for error is very very small,

339
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: very very small. And he's like, you know what's funny

340
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: is I was walking out of the stadium. I walked

341
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: by the Bills locker room and it was sad. And

342
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: the difference what makes the NFL so awesome. You just

343
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: think about the history of the league, right, you know

344
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: where I live and this happened before I was ever

345
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: born is and it's one of the most famous plays

346
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: in league history is the catch. It literally was a

347
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: throw that Joe Montana a couple of feet higher. Dwight

348
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: Clark can't make it. It goes right over his head.

349
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: Think about the the game that the Patriots that elevated

350
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: them in a stardom was the famous kick by Minitary

351
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: in the tuck rule game. What if he slips, what

352
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: if he hits the upright, maybe he never becomes out

353
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: of Minitary. It's not like most of the winners in

354
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: the National Football League in the playoffs win these games

355
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: by most games come down to a bounce here, a

356
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: drop here at the highest level. And we think about

357
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: all the Patriots Super Bowls. They they've been a ton

358
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: of tight games and you know whatever, they won six.

359
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: Think of all Brady's wins, Slash and his losses. It's

360
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: why when you think about the Chiefs, like they have

361
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: that incredible Super Bowl victory against the forty nine when

362
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: they were down late and they came back, They've also

363
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: had some devastating losses. The year before they lost an

364
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: overtime at home to Tom Brady. They were thirteen seconds

365
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: away from losing that game. And there is there, really is,

366
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: and I try to think about this a lot for myself. Um,

367
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: and it's easy, like in the media world, you gotta

368
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: like promote stuff on social media, and sometimes it can

369
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: be really exhausting. I mean, it's it's part of the

370
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: deal and you don't have a choice, but it's it's

371
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: one of those that sometimes like I just can't. I'm

372
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: not feeling this, and I think a lot of players

373
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: is why I have so much respect for these guys,

374
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, even Matt Stafford, just the way

375
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: they conduct themselves. You watched Tom Brady after that game.

376
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: There's a humility to them and wins wor losses because

377
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: it can easily go the other way, and you know

378
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: that the victors get to write history. And there are

379
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: a lot of times. I bet if you look back,

380
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: like a bad bounce here and this goes for sports,

381
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: then it's it's very very easy to be on the

382
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: other side. It really is. And unlike business, where if

383
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: I went bankrupt tomorrow, I can battle back. I come

384
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: back if I lose a devastating game as a coach

385
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: or a player in an NFC championship game, in a

386
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: World Series, in a golf major, there's no guarantee I

387
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: ever get back to that spot. That might be my

388
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: one opportunity that I can define my life for every

389
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Joe Montana who gets all these spots.

390
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: Look at Aaron Rodgers. I say it all the time,

391
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers one of the best players I've ever seen

392
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: any sport. I feel like, is he ever gonna make

393
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl again? I mean shit, I I don't know.

394
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: It kind of feels like no, as crazy as that sounds.

395
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: So I know we got a lot of pro athletes

396
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: listen to this. It's just you know that there is

397
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: something to be said. And I'm not saying you get

398
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: to celebrate, but like there was a video yesterday where

399
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: Mahomes sprinted to go to see Josh Allen. I just

400
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: there's a humility that I think this game in life

401
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: humble you at the moment's notice, especially when you start

402
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: feeling yourself. The NFL Conference championships are here, and to celebrate,

426
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: is Sean Payton. And you know whether or not he

427
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,239
Speaker 1: wants to come back, whether he's gonna quit, whether he's

428
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: gonna retire, whether he's gonna take a sabbatical year. And

429
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: I I think about this with just any person that's

430
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: been somewhere a long time, but the but especially coaches,

431
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, even like CEOs. You know, CEOs aren't talking

432
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: to everybody every day, Like Bob Iger just retired from

433
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: Disney or whatever. Bob Eker's not talking to everyone in

434
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: the company day in day out. When you're the coach,

435
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: everyone that matters in your building, the players, the assistant coaches,

436
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: the executives, like you are impacting them. Really, I'm close

437
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: to a day to day basis that your message, your

438
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: your body language, everything you're doing. And I just wonder

439
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: Sean Payton has been there for whatever wanted to get there.

440
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: Oh six, it's now going into two thousand two. Maybe

441
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: it's just time for a change, you know, Maybe it's

442
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: just time to like take a deep breath, take a

443
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: step back, and eventually I'll go coach somewhere else. It's

444
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: just time to throw a different pitch. I saw it

445
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: happened to coach Read now he got the Eagles fired him.

446
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: But it's the best thing that ever happened to Andy.

447
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: He got to go to Kansas City, he got to

448
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: kind of restart, and the rest is history. They've been

449
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: kicking assid and taking names ever since they did it

450
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith, and now they've gone to a completely

451
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: different level with my Homes. But like it was just

452
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: time for a change. You know, built ourselves. Used to

453
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: jump around a lot of places. It was healthy. Now

454
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: he probably did it at a rapid rate more than

455
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: most guys. But I if I had can advise Sean Payton,

456
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: if you were on the fence and you are thinking

457
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: about like do it, go call it. Just tell the

458
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: Saints like I'm out man, you don't owe me any

459
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: more money. I'm gonna take a year off, go hire

460
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: a new coach, go in a new direction. And let's

461
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: face it, he's looking at the team there in cap

462
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: Hell they have no quarterback. Like it's just it's just time.

463
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: I I think he should step away and then immediately

464
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: take a year off, take a deep breath, and then

465
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: he'll immediately be there. There will be so many teams

466
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: trying to hire him next year, and the number one

467
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: team we will talk about is will he replace Mike McCarthy.

468
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's I could see Sean Payton replacing Mike

469
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: McCarthy in two thous that that has a chance to

470
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: be the story. But when when I saw the owners say,

471
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: like when that she asked about it, She's like, who

472
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: knows these stories on Sean Payne? Like I think he's done.

473
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: I think he's over it. Like listen, Taysom Hill, heineke

474
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: not heineke uh simeon. I mean, but see see the

475
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: names I'm listening jamis who's got a torn a c

476
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: l Like this is he led a good life with

477
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. They want a ton of games. They had

478
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: a lot of success. They won a Super Bowl, They

479
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: were on the fringe of another Super Bowl if it

480
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: wasn't for a bad call. They played in some epic

481
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: playoff games. He had an incredible run and I think

482
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: he's a fantastic coach, But you know, go somewhere else.

483
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: Dr Rivers did it with the Clippers, and then he

484
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: went with the sixers. It's just healthy. Get new people,

485
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: new people here, your your voice, your message and uh

486
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: and and I think it refreshes you. I think sometimes

487
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: would change, you know, sometimes change Like you don't need

488
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: to just change to change. But when you're in a

489
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: place for a long period of time and you start

490
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: feeling I don't know if apathy is the right word,

491
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: but you just don't have the same juice. You hear

492
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: us a lot with players why they retire. It's because

493
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: they just they don't have the same energy to go

494
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: to practice. Yeah, when you hear guys in the peak

495
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: of their powers, you know, like when I hear stories

496
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: about Mahomes at practice. When I go to the Niners

497
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: and watch Fred Warner and George Kittle and use check

498
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: and debot practice like goddamn you guys love to practice. Well,

499
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: it probably gets hard to practice after fifteen twenty years.

500
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: That's why if Brady retires, maybe he just got tired

501
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: of the grind and the discipline that it takes to

502
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: kick ass and take names. And I wonder if Sean

503
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: Payton just the brand of the Saints and just dealing

504
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: with the team and now the quarterback situation, and he's

505
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: such a good coach, They're never gonna be drafting high enough.

506
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: Just like, hey, guys, I'm just just go our separate ways.

507
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: Not every divorce is a negative. I've known people that

508
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: have gotten divorces in their seventies, like the best season

509
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: they ever made, they wish they would have done it

510
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: thirty years ago. So if he's thinking this, he probably

511
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: was thinking this year's before. But now because of their cap,

512
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: in their quarterback situation, he can do it, and it

513
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: gives the Saints a chance to just completely reset the franchise.

514
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: I actually think it would be a win win. Ils

515
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: was thinking this watching Joe Burrow play. Think about the

516
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. You get so much credit for tanking in sports,

517
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: because no one loves tanking more than like the analytical

518
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: elites in the media, like this is the right decision

519
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: to do. Blow it up, Blow it up. And remember

520
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins legitimately blew it up. They were trading people,

521
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: they traded touns Ol, they were just resetting the whole thing.

522
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: And then, for whatever reason, because everyone shipping on him

523
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: like us normal people, they kind of pivoted towards the

524
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: end of that season, and they want I think three

525
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: of their last five games, including that final game against

526
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Tom Brady where I think they were like a seventeen

527
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: point underdog, and they ended up getting the fifth overall pick.

528
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: So they lost this generational quarterback in Joe Burrow, which

529
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: would have been the no brainer. It's easy to say

530
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: Herbert now, but they would have taken Joe Burrow if

531
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: they had a brain. So they tank basically of the season.

532
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: Then they get to the end of it and then

533
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: they screwed up and they don't get Joe Burrow. But

534
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: then they had the opportunity and they take the wrong guy.

535
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: Just think about that. What a disaster the Dolphins are.

536
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: They tak they can't take right they take for a quarterback.

537
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: They end up getting the by four Burrow and Herbert

538
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: and Ta. If you were ranking them to it wouldn't

539
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: be Three'd be like ten because that's how big the

540
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: gap is between Burrow, Herbert and him. It's the size

541
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: of the Grand Canyon. And now they don't have a coach.

542
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: They just what a disaster franchise, What a what a joke?

543
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: They have this owner with all this money and they

544
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: can't figure out ship to save their life. And it's

545
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: the biggest reason all these good teams like Andy Reid

546
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: is gonna just consistently win, even Belichick like once he

547
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: just got Mac Jones. Just listen, I think it's pretty average.

548
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: But like Belichick didn't win ten eleven games every year

549
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: because there are franchises like the Dolphins and ironically Brian

550
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: Flores could beat them, but like they just won't be

551
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: able to figure it out. The Jets, they just never

552
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: figure it out. And when you have teams that just

553
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: can never figure it out, it's a huge advantage for

554
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: teams are just like, yeah, we know what we're doing.

555
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: We're good, and it's why the cream always rise to

556
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: the top. And then I was seeing like Joe Shane

557
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: who got hired like I think I talked about in

558
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: the last podcast, I would have hired Adam Peters. Now

559
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't know this guy at all, never even met him,

560
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: and I understand, you know, I was texting with a

561
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: guy that's close to the franchise that said, and it's

562
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: I think it's been reported that basically the final two

563
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: was Adam Peters and this guy, and they went with

564
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: this guy, which listen, I mean reading about him reading

565
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: the story sounds like a very very impressive guy. And

566
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: I think one thing if and I know, we get

567
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: some personnel and some scouts to listen to the show

568
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: if you were in the office I was reading about

569
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: this guy. One huge advantage that John Mara told people

570
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: that like him and Adam Peters had is none of

571
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: these teams are looking to just hire a scout like that.

572
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna be people in the league that are excellent scouts. Well,

573
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: being a GM is about a lot more than that.

574
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: And one thing that Brandon Bean allowed Shane to do

575
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: is start being and bringing him to all these meetings

576
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: of everything in the in the UH operation, from the

577
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: medical stuff with the traders to the stuff with the

578
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: cap to every thing that's under the general managers, watch travel,

579
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: meeting with the coaches about different scenarios. Because like when

580
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: I was a scout, I just sat in my office

581
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: watch players wrote them up. That's all I did. I

582
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: never did anything else, you know, besides like pick up

583
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: food and stuff when I first got there, right go

584
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: drop guys out of the airport. But once I became

585
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: a full time pro scout in a college scout, all

586
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,959
Speaker 1: I did was right it up and that was awesome.

587
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: It was fun at the time, but like I wouldn't

588
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: have been like I was a long way away from ever,

589
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, because at the time it's like I want

590
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: to be a general manager in the league, But I

591
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: mean it, I had a long way to go. I have.

592
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: I've done way more with money and business and numbers

593
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: since I've been in the podcast business that I ever

594
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: did in the league. So for these guys that want

595
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: to take these steps, you have to get you know,

596
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: especially once you become the two or three in your organization,

597
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: you have to get your hands on other things because

598
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: no one's gonna hire you as a general manager in

599
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, and clearly these general manager jobs starting to

600
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: come open a little more often. But you have to

601
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: have a feel for agents, you have to have an

602
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: understanding of the cap. You have to know how to,

603
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, work with assistant coaches, which is something I

604
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: mean I did as a scout to that was that's

605
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: that's something that you come natural to any good scout

606
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: like being able to interact with coaches and Clearsicually, the

607
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: college guys get to do it all over the country.

608
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: So that's something that most scouts are gonna have in

609
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: their back pocket. But the CAP stuff, the medical stuff,

610
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: dealing with trainers. Um is a huge point of difference

611
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: for these guys is no longer. I remember when Trent

612
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 1: Balky got fired from the Niners. It was just like,

613
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: he's just a meathead guy watching tape. What was the

614
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: vibe on him? Now, you know? And and that kind

615
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: of when you get that kind of vibe on you

616
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: as a general manager. He just wants to watch tape

617
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: seven and not interact with anyone. That is no longer

618
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: the job. It might have been a long time ago,

619
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: but now that these franchises are three four five billion dollars,

620
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: you're signing players. You know, your star players, the sixty

621
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: seventy million dollars guarantee, and if you have a quarterback,

622
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: you're spending a hundred It is a compassing a lot more. Now,

623
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: one thing that's gonna be interesting with this guy is

624
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: the New York Giants job can make you a legend. Right.

625
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: Their bar is extremely low, they have multiple high picks,

626
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: They have the opportunity to hire a coach. This guy

627
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: is gonna have the chance to become a really, really

628
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: famous name in the league if he hires the right coach.

629
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: And it kind of feels like it's gonna be Brian

630
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: day Ball. They were just together in Buffalo for a

631
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: long period of time. Now we'll see there's no guaranteed

632
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: day Ball's interview in a lot of different places. It's

633
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: hard to get a feel like these coaching hires. Typically

634
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: we'd have three or four of them already taking place.

635
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't even feel like we're that close. We're starting

636
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: to see some of these teams like whittle it down

637
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: to final candidates. Maybe the Broncos because their general manager

638
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: is already in place. But I haven't heard anything out

639
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville, Minnesota. Got no clue what's going on there.

640
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: The Giants now we feel like we got a little direction,

641
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: But who knows, Maybe maybe he's got a curveball in in.

642
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: You know, I do think that Brian day Ball would

643
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: I've seen him do offensively. Feels like he'd be pretty good.

644
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: Another guy that's got a ton of experience, who's failed before.

645
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: I think that's a big deal hiring coach. Have you failed,

646
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: because if you you're gonna fail, especially when you get hired,

647
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: most time you're gonna go to really shitty teams. So

648
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: you get used to losing some games, right That was

649
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: the problem with Urban Meyer. He didn't know how to lose.

650
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean, was the first preseason game and like a

651
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: starting center was like Urban bro, this game doesn't mean anything.

652
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: You gotta relax. He didn't get it. Of course he didn't.

653
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: He's a college guy. He doesn't get the league. And

654
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 1: that's why to me, Brian day Ball, I don't know

655
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: him either, but just watching his work now very closely

656
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of years and looking at his resume.

657
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: Belichick Saban, but also been a lot of other places.

658
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: Now went kind of independent with Sean McDermott, got to

659
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: run his own unit, got to maul Josh Allen. Uh I,

660
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: I think that would be a pretty I would feel

661
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: pretty good if I was a New York Giants fan

662
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: and I got this young, up and coming smart general manager,

663
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: and we got Brian Dable. I mean, you just had

664
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: Gettleman and Joe Jed Hike. Come on, give me a break.

665
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: Joe might be an impressive guy, but he especially names

666
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: coach like Joe, let's coordinate offense before you become a

667
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: head coach. Like you don't know anything about offense. It's

668
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: hard to you know, this isn't two We're not looking

669
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: for CEO guys that are thirty nine years old. And

670
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: that's why he was completely over his head. He couldn't

671
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: do anything, couldn't improve. I mean, his move when he

672
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: hired fired Jason Garrett was to hire Freddie fucking Kitchens.

673
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: It's like comb bro out on you. Uh. The other

674
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: name that it just makes me shake my head a

675
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: little bit is Jonathan Gannon and knowing people with the Eagles,

676
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: I've heard this guy is a very very impressive individual.

677
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: He's a good leader, he's really good with players. He's

678
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: just an impressive People really really like the guy, and

679
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of guys like that

680
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You meet him and you go, this

681
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: is a this is an impressive guy. Right, This is

682
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: a type guy I want to have on my coaching

683
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: staff I want to be around. Well, if you just

684
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,959
Speaker 1: watch the Eagles play defense this year, they weren't any good.

685
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: So part of just being an impressive guy, Robert salo

686
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: was like that, right, Robert sala is beluffed. Everyone loves

687
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: the guy. Super high character, great with players, great energy guy,

688
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: good to fans, good to exects, can manage up, can

689
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: manage down, total package. But then Robert Salah at least,

690
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean he had four years of defensive coordinator. He

691
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: goes to the Jets and he stopped being a defensive coordinator.

692
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: But at least, deep down, I know that if like

693
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: ship hits the fan, Robert sala can call defense. I've

694
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: seen him do it before and he did it for

695
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: several years. Well, Jonathan Gannon has been a defensive coordinator

696
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: one season, one season and the defense was atrocious, was

697
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: absolutely terrible. Now, just because you're a bad coordinator doesn't

698
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: mean you know, or you have a coordinated unit that

699
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: is not high statistically means you're gonna be a bad coach.

700
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: McCarthy when he got hired to the Packers now it

701
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: feels like a lifetime ago. The forty Niners were not

702
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: good on offense. Packers hired him. He goes to far

703
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: Arvin Rodgers and he has a lot of success despite

704
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: being a pretty polarizing coach. But you know, resume speaks

705
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: for itself. Want a lot of games. I think some

706
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: of these guys like Jonathan Gannon are and I just

707
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: talked about yesterday on the podcast, like age means nothing

708
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: to me, Like it doesn't bother me that he's thirty

709
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: nine years old. What bothers me? He's only coordinated a

710
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: unit for one year and it was terrible. So when

711
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: I hired even like La Floor, La Fleur really benefited

712
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: from going to Aaron Rodgers, he had only been a

713
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: coordinator one year. Sean McVeigh had been a coordinator several years,

714
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanna had been a coordinator for almost ten. So

715
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna hire a young guy and he's got

716
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: the leadership stuff which matters, which matters, like you saw

717
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: Robert Solow this year. It was a disastrous situation. But

718
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: he handles himself. He's mature like I like that. But

719
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: eventually he's gonna have to schematically separate himself because this

720
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: is a schematic sport, even if the giants who have

721
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: no talent. That's why I like Brian Dable because I

722
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: know that, like he can just scheme offense. Now, Brian

723
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: Dable says, I'm gonna be the head coach. I'll accept

724
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: your offer, but I don't want to be the offensive

725
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: courting all right, say hold up, I'm hiring you for

726
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: your expertise. I want you to be the head coach

727
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 1: and the offensive coordinator. I want you to call place.

728
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: That's the best of both worlds. Right. When the Chiefs

729
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: hired Andy, he called plays and he led the organization.

730
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: When the Fort hied Kara Shanahan, he calls plays and

731
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: he leads the organization. When they hired Bruce Arians in

732
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: Arizona once upon a time, he called plays and he

733
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: led the organization. Frank Reich Nick Sirianni this year, that's

734
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: what I want. So if Jonathan and like, how do

735
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable? He's gonna call my defense and be

736
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: good at it. So I it's pretty crazy to me.

737
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: To me, he falls under more like what you see

738
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball, what you see in UM, I

739
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: would say in basketball, where they get these guys that

740
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: are gonna be the general manager, thinks they can dictate everything,

741
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: and that's not the way football works. Once the season starts,

742
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: the head coach is in complete control. He runs practices,

743
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: he runs the game. So I would just I'm not

744
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily down on this guy. I don't know him,

745
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: but I just think we need to pump the brakes

746
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. Say what you want about Kellen Moore,

747
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: and I think he needs to improve a little bit

748
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: at least. He's been a coordinator now for several seasons.

749
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: I think he's this will be if he if he

750
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: doesn't get a head job, he'll go be Going on

751
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: his fourth season as the O C. He's called a

752
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: lot of plays in the league. Ryan Dable has been

753
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: a coordinator for a long time. So to me being

754
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: a coordinator, you know, I know there's been studies that

755
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily matter. I do think it matters, especially

756
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: in this day and age where it's it's less about

757
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: machismo and toughness because of the rules and more about

758
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: scheming guys open, scheming coverages, scheming routes. This is a

759
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: this is a thinking man sport. Look at some of

760
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: these coaches left Zach Taylor, former quarterback Andy Reid, one

761
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: of the greatest offensive coaches in the history of the league.

762
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 1: McVeigh and Kyle two of the youngest stars the league

763
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: has ever seen as offensive coaches. This is not super

764
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 1: tough guy league with no thinking. You need tough guy,

765
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: but you also need to think. So I think there's

766
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: a balance schematically, how talented you are as a coach

767
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: really matters, and as a general manager, unless you're like

768
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: Nick Serio, and Belichick taught you everything. Most of these

769
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: gms are not gonna just be like you know, Bill Walsh,

770
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to scheme, you are very, very dependent

771
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: on the head coach, very dependent on the head coach.

772
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 1: So that's that's something I'm just I'm pretty passionate about.

773
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: And I see some of these teams that I think

774
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: they're kind of I don't know, they think they can

775
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: like circumvent it, and it's not possible. Like I said,

776
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: the reason McVeigh and Kyle their ages are relevant, the

777
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: reason they're good is because they can dominate calling place

778
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: like that matters help. McVeigh was dialing up plays with

779
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins with a bad Washington team with Gruden's brother,

780
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: Kyle had the number one offense in the league in Atlanta.

781
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: Even Dan Quinn forever was a great defensive coordinator with

782
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: Seattle when he got the job, Like, I need you

783
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: to have success on your unit. That makes me feel

784
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: a lot better. Okay, before we dive into the mail bag,

785
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: one story that's circulating a little bit, uh and for

786
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: the first time really ever, I mean truly ever, it

787
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: feels like there's some legs behind it because he's put

788
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 1: some quotes behind it. It's Tom Brady and his future

789
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and not just his future

790
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: with the Bucks, but his future as an NFL football player.

791
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: And I guess he has his own podcast. Let's go

792
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: basically said, like, you know, I owe it to my

793
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: family and my kids to be there, and the moment

794
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: that I feel that they deserve more of me than football,

795
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: it's almost time to go. And I just watched him

796
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: with Jim Gray say in the moment he feels that

797
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: he can't give a hundred percent to the team, he's out,

798
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: and I listen, maybe you have to do some fact

799
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: checking here. I don't remember Remer talking like this. And

800
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: there was a story I think Sunday morning. Maybe it

801
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: was Saturday morning by you know, schefter or one of those.

802
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it was rap sheet that like this, that there

803
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: is some talk in the league and really I think

804
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,959
Speaker 1: with the team that this might be it for Tom.

805
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: To me, the moment you start talking about that, the

806
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 1: moment you start thinking about retirement, the moment you wrap

807
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: your head around like I could be vacationing. I don't

808
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: have to do this, And he's already made steps right

809
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: the last several years Tampa and that last year in

810
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: New England, he stopped going to the off season activity.

811
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: His kids are getting older. He's old, you know, relative

812
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: to the NFL players. He started living a normal life

813
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: in the off season, kind of Roger style. I'm not

814
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: coming to any stuff. I will not be there from

815
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: the day the season ends untill training camp. I will

816
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: take care of myself. I'm a grown up. I can train.

817
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 1: I will see you in training camp. And he's Tom Brady.

818
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: No one cared cool Tom, do whatever you want to do.

819
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: But I think now he's starting to think like do

820
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: I want to do this? And the way Tom does something,

821
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: all of his chips are in the middle of the table. He,

822
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: I think, has proven to be the most addicted football

823
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: player in the history of the sport. He changed his

824
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: entire life from training to dieting to literally doing everything

825
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: to ultimately get to forty four years old. And it's

826
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 1: clearly what Honestly, I don't think. I think we almost

827
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: underestimate what we witnessed these last two years. How good

828
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: he was in Tampa. I don't care who he was

829
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 1: throwing too. You know, obviously was throwing some good players,

830
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: but the numbers he was putting up at forty three

831
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: and forty four years old, and ultimately he lost a

832
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: playoff game at home. That's how good his team was

833
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year, you know, or win the

834
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: super Bowl last year and this year be good enough

835
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: to host a playoff game, and they just ran out

836
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: of bodies. They just ran out of you know, you

837
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: need good like you can't beat playoff teams without some

838
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: of your best players. Tristan Worth's know where to be

839
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: founds a problem. God would know where to be founds

840
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: a problem like the Rams like they hit on some

841
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: of these moves. And I think Tom's coming to grips

842
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: with it might be over and I you just just watch,

843
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: just type it into Google. Watch the way he's talked

844
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours. He he has not talked

845
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 1: like that in previous years. And if this is all

846
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: we get from Tom Brady, he'll just I mean, to me,

847
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: you could argue of the last twenty years, he's the

848
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: most He's the biggest superstar in America emer Lebron, but

849
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: to Tom's Tom one more than Lebron. Tom's got seven rings,

850
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: went to nine super Bowls. It's that's that's never getting matched.

851
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 1: It's never getting matched. Patrick Mahomes could win three Super

852
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: bowl and still be foreshort of Tom. Think of the

853
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: likelihood that like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson ever win

854
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Think how hard that is. Aaron Rodgers

855
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: has been kicking ass and taking names, has one. So

856
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 1: if this is it for Tom, and I think it'll

857
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: play out over the next couple of weeks, maybe the

858
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: next month, we'll definitely know by you know, I guess

859
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: well by free agency, but it's uneducated. I don't know

860
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: the guy, but just start putting you know, two and

861
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: two together. Let's listen to his voice. You know. Now,

862
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: he's a competitor, he's he loves football, so maybe he

863
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: just he still tries to play one more year. But

864
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing he won't half in,

865
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: half out. He's he's an all in guy. And uh,

866
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: I think there's a above fifty chance that was his

867
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: last game he's ever played against the Los Angeles Rams. Okay,

868
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 1: let's dive into a little mail bag. It goes at

869
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: John middlecoff is the Instagram slide up in to those

870
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: direct messages and uh, get your question to hear on

871
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: the show. We will start here with Bobby Bobby Hey,

872
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: John Colts fan Wentz appears to be physically easier, easily

873
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: comparable to Alan and Luck. He's no dummy. His WONDERLOK

874
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: score is higher than Luck and Allen. All three guys

875
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: scored high. Why the heck can't this guy figure it out?

876
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: Because playing quarterback is a lot like society. There are

877
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: a lot of intellectuals who are brilliant in a classroom

878
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: and who could take a test, and it doesn't translate

879
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: to real life. It doesn't translate to the business world. Right.

880
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: There are a lot of you know, good looking people

881
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: who are insecure probably about like dating right and aren't

882
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: comfortable with the you know, trying to find a mate

883
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: out of the bar, that that aren't confident in front

884
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: of If you're a guy, good looking dude, you just

885
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: might not have And it's even if you're a good

886
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: looking guy in front of chicks. So just because you

887
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: have the physical skills doesn't mean that it's going to

888
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: translate to football. We've seen a lot of physically talented

889
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: players at all positions, but specifically quarterback not be great players.

890
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: And we've seen a lot of smart guys be dumb

891
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: one thing I learned when I was scouting, and uh,

892
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: give how he credit on this one. I remember, you know,

893
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: making a big deal about guys having bad grades, and

894
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: he's like, well, was the guy a smart football player?

895
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, he's actually a really really high

896
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: i Q guy. It's like, why do we care if

897
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: he's a bad student. We're paying this guy to be

898
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: a smart football player and his high i Q right

899
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: on the field. There was a legendary story when I

900
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: was growing up the Jason Kidd, who was a Barry

901
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: guy to get into the University at cal Berkeley, which

902
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: is I think the number one public institution in the world.

903
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: He obviously didn't have to meet like the average student requirements,

904
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure he had to get like a

905
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: minimum of like seven fifty or eight hundred on the

906
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: s A T and he had to take it like

907
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: five times just to hit the basic number. So you

908
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: would say Jason Kidd is one of the smartest basketball

909
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: players in the history of the sport. I I just

910
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: think what you get on a test doesn't mean ship. Now,

911
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: you need to be smart, but your your intelligence needs

912
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: to translate that. That to me is the key and

913
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: it just clearly doesn't for a lot of people. My

914
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: question is kind of abstract, so we'll do the best

915
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: to act ask it succinctly. When Jerry Richardson told the Panthers,

916
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: it seemed like Temper was already lined up as a buyer.

917
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: It seems like the Redskins and the Raiders have targeted

918
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: by the league as the next teams to be sold

919
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: for decades, and it seems to be common knowledge that

920
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: the league wants bezos And as an owner. So my

921
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: question is this, do you think that the league is

922
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: constantly analyzing social stock of their owners and plotting who

923
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: they want to get replaced. It seems like the dirt

924
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: on owners that forces them to sell always comes out

925
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: exactly when the league wants it, to Donald Surley in

926
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: the NBA, to a much more favorable owner in Balmer

927
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: being another example. Is this sounding too much like a

928
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory or do you think it's possible? Well, I

929
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: definitely think it's possible, but I'd have to reread. What

930
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: didn't Jerry Richardson get in trouble on something? Didn't he

931
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: kind of want to sell? Wasn't the old is Dr

932
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: ridson't even still alive. Why would Dan Snyder. Mark Davis

933
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: is different, right, Mark Davis doesn't have that much money.

934
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: Dan Snyder is filthy rich. Dan Snyder has so shown

935
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: zero and I mean zero desire to get rid of

936
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: the team. So unless they can force him to get

937
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: rid of it, which I don't think they can, because

938
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: they just had an email scandal, or let me rephrase that,

939
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: an email research project right where they all got seized

940
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: and the only person they got fucked was Gruden, whose

941
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 1: career ended. Absolutely no thing happened to Dan Snyder again.

942
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,760
Speaker 1: They went all in to get Dan Snyder hopefully in trouble.

943
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: Remember there were stories about like naked cheerleaders. There were

944
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: all these things and the only thing were to come

945
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: out we're grootens emails. I I just I don't think either.

946
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't think Mark Davis going anywhere either. I don't

947
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: think Mark Davis. Mark Davis is not selling until he dies.

948
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: Now he is older, but you know he's he's I

949
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: think he's like mid sixties. But Mark Davis is not

950
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: just gonna randomly like, oh, I'll just tell the raiders now.

951
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: If he did, you know, I think they would have

952
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: buyers lined up for both teams. I think both teams

953
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: would go for four or five billion dollars. I'm a

954
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: massive fan of Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. I was

955
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: very pissed to see the defense not be able to

956
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: hold up for forty five seconds after Tom closed the

957
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: gap in points. After seeing Mahomes win the way he did,

958
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: I can't help but think that someone's coming after Brady's

959
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: for the ultimate goat stats. When you look at all

960
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks who's ever played, everyone deep down would agree

961
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: the most the most ultimate was Tom Brady. Do you

962
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: think it's possible for Brady to get unseated by Mahomes.

963
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 1: I love Thomas Brady as well. I just think his accolades.

964
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, Mahomes is still young in his career right,

965
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: This is what his fifth year in the in the league.

966
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: This is his four straight an f C Championship game. Yes,

967
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: his fifth year in the league. He obviously basically red

968
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: shirted that rookie year. He has been to four a

969
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: f C Championship games, so that's a very good start.

970
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: He's won an m v P, he's won a Super Bowl,

971
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: and he's a seven point favorite to go back to

972
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So if he wins this game, who

973
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: have got a three state super Bowls? The only way

974
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: he can even sniff to start, you know, chipping away,

975
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: he has to win super Bowls. Tom Bank three five

976
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: years into his career. So and the other thing is

977
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: Mahomes came into the league like when when Brady came

978
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: in the league, Belichick was fifty years old, right, Belichick

979
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: seventy now, so they spent basically might have been right,

980
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 1: Andy is sixty two years old, like his Andy Getna

981
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: coach fifteen more years. Like they're more than likely Mahomes

982
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: will have a different coach now, might be in five, eight,

983
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: ten years or whatever. I don't think. And he's going

984
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: anywhere anytime soon. But there are a lot of variables

985
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,439
Speaker 1: that play. Think about this with with Brady, he had

986
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: three iterations of his teams, and two of them won

987
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: super Bowls. He had the first one, the Varabel, the Bruskie,

988
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: all those guys, Ty Law and you know, uh, what's

989
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,919
Speaker 1: his name? I can't think of the wide receiver Troy

990
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: Brown and those and those Cats, which was just a tough,

991
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: gritty team they want they won three of Super Bowls.

992
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: Right then, he had probably his most talented team which

993
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: was Randy Moss, Welker, that whole crew, and their defense

994
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: was good too. They ran the table, they got to

995
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: a couple of Super Bowls, they lost them all. Then

996
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 1: he gets the Edelman, Gronk mccordy, High Tower Slater crew

997
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: and they win three more. So he had three different

998
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: crews of sweet dudes. Mahomes is on his first Now,

999
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: I'm I've been around Beach. Beach is good, Andy Star.

1000
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: They're both legit at their job. But the likelihood, like

1001
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: you have a lot of things to go right to,

1002
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: like get three sweet impact groups of guys and the

1003
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: chances that they ever upgrade, Like do you know what

1004
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: Hill and Kelsey basically are the version of like Randy

1005
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: Moss and that crew, but they're like winners like Edelman

1006
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: and Rock. It's gonna be very, very difficult to ever

1007
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: replace those guys, those two specific players. It really is.

1008
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: So as as a Patrick Mahomes super fan, I would

1009
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: say it's it's basically impossible for him to do that.

1010
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: Do you think the NFL had more parody than normal

1011
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: this year because of the decreased salary cap? Uh? Now,

1012
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: I think are some injuries. I think the NFL is

1013
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: just you know, some of these better teams are are

1014
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: just pretty good. I think the high end of the

1015
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: top eight nine teams are all pretty even. Look at

1016
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: the NFC playoffs, right, Cowboys Niners tight game? You know,

1017
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: Rams Bucks type game, cow Packers Niners type game. Uh,

1018
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: Arizona pretty gutless. Obviously the Eagles kind of gutless. But

1019
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you had four or five teams in the

1020
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: NFC that can win it. Look at the a f C.

1021
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: All these games have been tight. So I just think

1022
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: it's a lot of good quarterbacks, a lot of good quarterbacks,

1023
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,280
Speaker 1: a lot of good really off good offensive play callers.

1024
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: Like obviously Kyle Shanahan like as a mid tier quarterback,

1025
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: but he's he's a lade at his job. Remember McVeigh

1026
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago with Jared Goff couldn't make

1027
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: noise in the playoffs because he's really good at his job.

1028
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: You should be like Andy with Alex Smith. When you

1029
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: get a lot of like Andy Alex Smith's, that just

1030
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: means your league's pretty solid at the top. Once you

1031
00:53:55,360 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: get like Andy Mahomes right or Brady whoever, you just

1032
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: you kind of get a higher end team. Now you

1033
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: could argue that we'll see how it plays out. The Bill.

1034
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: That Bill's Chiefs game. Very that's very possible. That was

1035
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. It's very possible that whoever won that

1036
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: game is gonna win this whole thing, because whoever won

1037
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: that game was gonna be a big favorite against the Bengals.

1038
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are They're going to be favored. My guests

1039
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,919
Speaker 1: would be if they play the Rams, the line would

1040
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: be about three. If they play the Niners would be

1041
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: about four or four and a half. So the Chiefs

1042
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: are gonna be heavily favored the next two weeks, and

1043
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: rightfully so. The meaning to ask you a question, this

1044
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: is from Seth. I'm a Packer fan, and a lot

1045
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: of fans are divided on the situation that's unfolded before

1046
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: us this year. Looking back on the game against the Niners,

1047
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: we can't really put all the blame on the special teams,

1048
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: even though yes, they did cost us to the point

1049
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,439
Speaker 1: where we tied. Actually more than that, because you guys

1050
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: had a field goal at the end of the first

1051
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 1: half when Rodgers rolled out and hit Aaron Jones. That actually, Rogers,

1052
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: if he leads him, I mean, it might score. But

1053
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward blocked a kick and Will Blackman, the former

1054
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 1: NFL player, tweeted it out. The reason you guys got

1055
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: the kick blocked, which would have put you up ten

1056
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 1: to nothing at halftime, which would have felt like an

1057
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: insurmountable lead. The dude puts his arm out to kind

1058
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: of rock Jimmy because he's blocking. A guy come over him,

1059
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: and I don't know who it was on the Niners,

1060
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:29,240
Speaker 1: Tomahawk chops the guy's arm. It was like a schemed play.

1061
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:33,399
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward. I have never seen a field goal block

1062
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: that easy. Jimmy Ward didn't hit it with his hands.

1063
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: He was like his his body like the field goal

1064
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: hit him in the numbers. Your special teams were beyond shitty.

1065
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: If you follow me on social media or listen to

1066
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: other podcasts, we make a lot of fun of the

1067
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: forty Niner special teams. It's a running joke. High Tower.

1068
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 1: He has been terrible. They made High Tower the forty

1069
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: Niners Special teams coach look like Bill belichicker Tom Coughlin

1070
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: or John Harbaugh like one of the best special or

1071
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: Dave Tobe or something. You guys, special teams was a joke.

1072
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: Let me finish. Rogers has opportunities and couldn't capitalize situation.

1073
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: Now it seems like it's gonna retire across the trade

1074
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: given the circumstances in the limited playtime we've seen on

1075
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: love in our current cap situation. What are your thoughts

1076
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: on the upcoming year. Well, here's the thing on the

1077
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: cap situation. You cut a couple of guys, you get

1078
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: cap relief. You also when you or extend Aaron Rodgers

1079
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: and DeVante Adams. Even if Aaron goes to make thirty

1080
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 1: five forty a year and Devontae goes to make twenty

1081
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: two a year, you you messed with the bucks. You know.

1082
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: It's like you know when tax seasons around in a

1083
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks that there's a reason we tell our accountants, like,

1084
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: let's do some things. You gotta it's gonna be legal,

1085
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: but you can amortize the money. So just because you

1086
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: give DeVante seventy five million dollars guaranteed it doesn't hit

1087
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: the cap for like three years. So the key is

1088
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: to resign those two guys and push all the money back,

1089
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: and then you cut a couple of guys and you

1090
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 1: have a lot of cap space. Plus the other thing,

1091
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: No one's talking about the cap is gonna rise by

1092
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars. To me, there, everyone's making way too

1093
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: big of a deal about your cap situation. If Aaron

1094
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: Rodgers wants to stay, you can extend them and you're

1095
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: good to go. Same with Davante Adams. Now, if he

1096
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: wants to leave, then you know, I think you trade

1097
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: both him and Davante for a shipload. You trade Aaron

1098
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: for three ones and two you trade Davantae Adams for

1099
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: a couple of ones. Now, I don't think Jordan's love,

1100
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: I mean, from what I saw this year, is any good.

1101
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: He's been in the league two years, so I think

1102
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a problem for you. Now,

1103
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think I think the last team

1104
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: in the league obviously they would never trade him in

1105
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: the division, but I think Goodakins and La Fleur would

1106
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: quit before they made this trade. But let's say they

1107
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: know that they know Jordan's love is not any good.

1108
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: That's water into the bridge. You've already made the pick.

1109
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: What if I told you they really like trade Lance,

1110
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: would you do a deal with the Niners to get

1111
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: a young quarterback? Now the problem up as the Niners

1112
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,919
Speaker 1: don't have number one picks because they traded them all.

1113
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: But that is a young quarterback who's gonna be going

1114
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: into a second year. They got to red shirt in

1115
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: this offense, who is way more physically talented than Jordan's Love. Now.

1116
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: I listen, I'm uh, what's his name? Trey Lance makes

1117
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: me a little nervous. He's got a he's a major project.

1118
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: But like I've already seen, like Jordan loves now a

1119
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: two year project, and we saw him against the Chiefs.

1120
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: He looks terrible, but they would never trade him the Niners.

1121
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: But I don't know where Aaron. Aaron ain't gonna want

1122
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: to go to just anybody. He's gonna pick like two teams,

1123
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: gonna be like the Broncos with the Niners, and who

1124
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: who's the Broncos don't even have a coach? What if

1125
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: they hired dan Quinn, He's gonna want to go play

1126
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: for dan Quinn. I don't know what to see how

1127
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: this plays out. I think it's a little more complicated

1128
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: than people act. I'm a Vikings fan who needs help

1129
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: understanding our boy Kirk Cousins. I've watched every game of

1130
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: Cousins era, and while he's got his fair share of stinkers.

1131
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: I've also seen some really good amount of high ceiling

1132
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: games as well to give me serious hope that day

1133
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: Ball or any other offensive mind that Kirk could be

1134
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: really good. Zimmers love to run, especially on second and ten,

1135
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: putting us in dis disadvantageous positions. Combined with an atrocious

1136
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: bottom three a line and a defense that really tailed

1137
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: off the past couple of years, part of me thinks

1138
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: that Cousins is the only thing these past two years

1139
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 1: that kept us from not being the Jacks. He actually

1140
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: said effing Jacks, and with those other areas being improved,

1141
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: we could be legit NFC title contenders and my nuts

1142
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: ps in something from your last episode, I'm a student

1143
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: manager at Ohio State when Haskins and Burrow were there.

1144
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: Whatever happened to Joe down at l s U between

1145
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: the first and second season there were to make him

1146
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: what he is now. He was not that while at

1147
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Duane was the right choice at quarterback, and

1148
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't really close. As for Duane's lack of maturity

1149
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: and work ethic that seems to have been his downfall

1150
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That was one of the most predictable

1151
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,919
Speaker 1: things in my opinion. But if being a Steelers, being

1152
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: in the Steelers his helped him grow and be a

1153
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: true pro, then he has a chance to be a

1154
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: good NFL starter because he has the armed talent, and

1155
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: his arm talents elite by NFL standards, And I don't

1156
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd go elite by NFL standards,

1157
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: but he's got a good arm I hear you. You

1158
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: know some Joe Burrow might You're right, he might have,

1159
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: just he might not have been that good at Ohio State.

1160
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't there. You were, so that's

1161
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: I'll lean on your your knowledge. I think the Vikings

1162
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: have a long way to go, but they do have

1163
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: some sweet core pieces, right Dalvin Cook stud Justin Jefferson

1164
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: stud feeling awesome Fantasy player. Whenever I play him in DFS,

1165
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: he scores me touchdowns. Their online sucks, their defense is old. Well,

1166
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: how do you you don't have an unlimited amount of

1167
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: draft picks. I don't have your cap situation in front

1168
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: of you or me, But I would say yeah, I

1169
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: mean they could with the right coach like Atlanta this year,

1170
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: would they go like seven and ten? If it the

1171
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons and go seven and ten. You could compete,

1172
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, nine ten wins next year? For sure, I

1173
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: will give you that. But are you gonna hire who's

1174
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: your Arthur Smith? I don't know. Longtime listener, first time

1175
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: of the POT grants. With the success keeping up the work,

1176
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: I can bet you're getting a lot of questions about

1177
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: the NFL overtime rules. I'm still recovering from a blue

1178
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: ball like sentation sensation after watching the most amazing game

1179
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: we've ever witnessed, finishing the way it did. I'm just

1180
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: curious why the NFL would not convert to an expanded

1181
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: OT rule system. College football has by far the best

1182
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 1: O T rules of all the sports, so I'm baffled

1183
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: why the NFL would not give or adopt these rules.

1184
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: By giving Buffalo a chance to respond, this would have

1185
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: given the fans more entertainment, which would equal more longer

1186
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: viewership and ratings, equaling more money for the NFL. Actually,

1187
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't the TV deals are set. It would equal more

1188
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: money maybe for CBS, but the NFL has already got

1189
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: their hunter million, hundred billion dollars. Here's my thing. I

1190
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: don't mind the OT There there is no perfect solution.

1191
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: Could you just play another game? Could you play another half?

1192
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: Do you just play a quarter and see who wins

1193
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: the quarter? Uh. The problem with the college overtime rules,

1194
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: which I am a big fan of, I think the

1195
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: pushback from a lot of people in the NFL would say,

1196
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's that's not really football because you don't

1197
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: just start at there's no special teams to play. You

1198
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: just get to start at. And I think a lot

1199
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: of older coaches would push back. So I do wonder

1200
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: if it should just be you get a you get

1201
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: a series, we get a series. Whoever scores, you know,

1202
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: that's it. I don't have a great, great answer. I'm

1203
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: not bothered by it. Honestly, it doesn't bother me because

1204
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: partly because the rules have been the rules now for

1205
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: a while, Like, the fucking rules are set. We've been

1206
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: watching this overtime now for years. And they actually changed

1207
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: it whatever several years ago when it was like, uh,

1208
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, the first team used to be sudden death, right,

1209
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: so you can give a field goal to win. Then

1210
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: it changed the field goal you get the ball back.

1211
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: I actually didn't realize. Uh. It was incredible, man, when

1212
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: they won the coin toss and the dude on the Chiefs,

1213
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: I forget who it even was that went out there.

1214
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: He jumped up higher than like Michael Jordan's. He was

1215
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,439
Speaker 1: so happy because he knew how big of a deal

1216
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: it was to win that coin toss. Now, if you

1217
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: want to argue, and I won't dispute you, that the

1218
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: game basically came down to a quarter. Yeah, it's it sucks,

1219
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: but that's kind of been as the way it's been

1220
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 1: now for a long time, so it just did not

1221
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: bother me. Fan of the pod. The way I currently

1222
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: see it, the league's top four young quarterbacks are in

1223
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: the a f C Mahomes, Alan Herbert Burrow, while the

1224
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: NFC's best quarterbacks are only getting older. Is there any

1225
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: chance that the NFL realigns the conferences in the near

1226
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: future to separate those four guys? Uh No, I mean,

1227
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: it's just the way the cookie crumbles forever. The two

1228
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: best players in the league were in the f C,

1229
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Hell Roethlisberger was there too,

1230
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. It's just sometimes the way it works. The

1231
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: NFC gotta developed from quarterbacks right the NFC East like

1232
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: figured out guys Kyle Shanahan's gotta make Trey Lance and

1233
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: do a player has to happen. Whoever gets the Bears

1234
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: job has to make Justin Fields into a player. There's

1235
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: just part of the sport is to develop some of

1236
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: these guys. People thought Josh Allen sucked coming out of

1237
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: high school or college, and high school Mahomes was people

1238
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: were not that into him. Beside Andy Hey double dipping

1239
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: because Mahomes and Alan just made my original post look

1240
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: like trash. The quarterback play was the story of the game,

1241
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: along with a few mind blowing plays by playmakers. My god,

1242
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: best game ever. Also forgot to mention Deebo Samuel from

1243
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: the game I reference above special Teams Defense and Deebo.

1244
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: I only joined Instagram specifically only so I could send

1245
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 1: you a question. What was your question question? If a

1246
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: team's chance at the Super Bowl goes down after their

1247
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: quarterback gets paid, isn't the marker market over inflated? Well?

1248
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: I think the problem is when you get a really

1249
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: good quarterback. To me, where you get over and plated.

1250
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: Is like am I paying Kyler Murray? Can I win

1251
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: playoff games with Kyler Murray? Because if he if next year,

1252
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't win playoff games, then we got a problem.

1253
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: Like Lamar Jackson has won one playoff game. Next year

1254
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: is a big year for Can you win me a

1255
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: couple of playoff games? Justin Herbert? Like, I pretty confident

1256
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's gonna win playoff games. It's pretty clear my

1257
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: homes and obviously Alan like you can. You can win

1258
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with those guys like Josh Allen. There's

1259
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: no more arguing. Josh Allen is elite um and Joe

1260
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: Burrow the same thing. You gotta take advantage when they're

1261
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: on the rookie quarterback or in the contract. But what

1262
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: are you supposed to do over inflated? You know, if

1263
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 1: if you had the money and you bought a two

1264
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: million dollar house in two thousand one that just a

1265
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: couple of years ago was would have gone for seven

1266
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: hundred grand, do you care if you like the house? Like, ultimately,

1267
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: do you think the Chiefs or the Bills care that

1268
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: they're paying their guy forty million dollars? I'll tell you

1269
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: the team that thinks about it sometimes it's like the Cowboys.

1270
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: I've said it over and over. That's I think individual

1271
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: players can be over inflated. You can't there is no

1272
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: inflation on a home that you're not gonna give a

1273
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: ship how much it costs, and money is not an issue,

1274
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: Like the chiefs do not care. If they had to

1275
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: spend seventy million dollars on my homes, they would do it.

1276
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: Same with the bills. It's like some of these people.

1277
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: Do you see these celebrities by these twenty million dollar homes?

1278
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: Who gives a ship if you got three million dollars? Right?

1279
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 1: It's different for me. It's like, you know, I kind

1280
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: of want, like, you know, one point five million dollar house,

1281
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: So I kind of gotta be picking. I gotta be careful,

1282
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: Like what if the market dips, what if it keeps going?

1283
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, you kind of go around your head.

1284
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: You don't know what to do. I don't have a

1285
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 1: right answer. But I don't have unlimited money yet probably

1286
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: never will. But money right now at the levels of

1287
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: which I want to go is still part of the question.

1288
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: If I had fifty million dollars in the bank, I'd

1289
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: go to Scottstale. I just buy a five million dollars

1290
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: spread right on silver Leaf Country Club. I wouldn't even hesitate.

1291
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: It would not matter if I was over paying It's

1292
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: like whatever the house actually is worth three million. I

1293
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: don't give a ship. I want the house. So I

1294
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: think that's why, you know, you see some of these

1295
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: teams like Kyler, Murray, Dak. What do you think the

1296
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys love paying Dak Prescott forty million dollars? I don't

1297
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 1: think they do. I don't think they do, or at

1298
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 1: least they think sometimes they can say whatever they want.

1299
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: But he's not an ideal forty million dollar a quarterback.

1300
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: But I promise you this, The Chiefs, the Packers, the Bills,

1301
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: even the Seattle, they don't give a ship. They don't

1302
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: care at all. It's only overinflated. If you Kirk Cousins,

1303
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: do you love paying them thirty two? Because people think

1304
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: I hate Kirk Cousins, I don't. If Kirk Cousins with

1305
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: my quarterback a million dollars, we have a proper price,

1306
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 1: But I'm paying him thirty four, thirty three or whatever

1307
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: he's making. That's the problem. That's the problem. How do

1308
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 1: college players get draft grades? What does it consist of?

1309
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:01,479
Speaker 1: And who grades them? Uh, there's a I think there's

1310
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: like a committee. So if I'm you know, uh, cornerback

1311
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: at Oregon and I'm a junior and I'm not like

1312
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 1: some lock first rounder. I put my name into the NFL,

1313
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, through maybe my coach. I don't know exactly.

1314
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: People listening to this in the business know exactly how

1315
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 1: it works, especially college coaches. They submit the guy's name,

1316
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 1: and then there's like a conservative round grade, you know,

1317
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: like if if an elite guys puts in, like you know,

1318
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 1: Will Anderson or whatever, it's like first round. But a

1319
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: lot of times I'm pretty sure, and I could be

1320
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 1: wrong at this. I'm probably gonna get text from buddies

1321
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: correcting me. It gives you like a like a round estimate,

1322
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 1: like you know, second, third round, fifth, sixth round, something

1323
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: like that. So if I'm a corner thinking I'm gonna

1324
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: come out early and I think, you know, I could

1325
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: be a top fifty player, and then I get it

1326
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: back and it says like I'm a fifth sixth round pick,

1327
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, there's several maybe general

1328
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: managers maybe their teams on the committee, and they just

1329
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: say kind of what their draft grade is, and I

1330
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 1: don't think the other teams know, and it kind of

1331
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 1: goes to the league. I'm pretty sure if that's the

1332
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: way it works. Could be could be wrong on that,

1333
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,480
Speaker 1: but it's it's something in that vein. But it's also conservative.

1334
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: It doesn't be like if you're actually a third round pick,

1335
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: which you might end up being. It might tell you

1336
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: you're a six round pick, and vice versa. It might

1337
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: be like your third round pick and you could end

1338
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: up going the fifth round. It's not I don't think

1339
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 1: it's like, uh, you know, always correct. I'm I might

1340
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: have to look into that. I know, I know, I'm

1341
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: kind of right. I don't see how all these blue

1342
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,799
Speaker 1: checks on Twitter can argue changing the o T rules

1343
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: and push player safety at the same time. The OT

1344
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: rules might be weird, but they literally exist or teams

1345
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: don't have to regularly play five quarters of football. It

1346
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 1: also promotes executing in all three phases of the game,

1347
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: unlike college where defense is only marginally matter and special

1348
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: teams don't matter at all. I'm with you, part of

1349
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: overtime should be short and sweet. The game is the game,

1350
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: right it should be. It's why I'm a big proponent

1351
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: in baseball. Purists hate me. I love putting the runner

1352
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: on second base in the tenth inning. As someone that

1353
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 1: watches baseball, like and most of these like, I'm not

1354
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: staying up till two in the morning to watch you

1355
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 1: guys play eighteen innings. Put a guy in second base.

1356
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Finish this thing. The good thing about the NFL rule is,

1357
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,560
Speaker 1: for the most part, it ends relatively quick. Even the

1358
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 1: way it's set up, college can go on for a while.

1359
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 1: I was watching this year it was the Penn State

1360
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,600
Speaker 1: who was at Penn State Illinois. They went to like,

1361
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 1: seventeen overtimes never ended. Now you're not. Actually you're only

1362
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: playing one snap and there are new rules because you

1363
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: have to go for two. It's kind of a weird deal.

1364
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I I the overtime does not

1365
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 1: bother me as much as some I honestly didn't even

1366
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: realize with a story until everyone on social media people

1367
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,639
Speaker 1: start forming me stuff. I got a question for the bag.

1368
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: Do you think the Titans could should move off Ryan

1369
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 1: Tannehill for Jimmy g I see Jimmy in the uniform

1370
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: and getting the Titans over the hump. Not sure what

1371
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: Tannehill's cap look like. I mean, I think they're pretty

1372
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 1: similar players. To be honest with you, uh, I'd probably

1373
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: rather have Jimmy at a cheaper number than tanny Hill.

1374
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: What does tanny Hill make twenty nine, Jimmy makes twenty four.

1375
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 1: Tanny Hill can run, Jimmy can't. Really, they both throw picks,

1376
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I I mean both of them are kind

1377
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: of in the same world. They really are. I mean,

1378
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 1: I've seen Jimmy throw three picks in a game that

1379
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: could have easily happened to Jimmy. I you know, Tanny Hill.

1380
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 1: Maybe Jimmy is just more likable. And to be honest,

1381
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't know anything bad about tanny Hill. It feels

1382
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 1: like a good guy. I'm just saying that more from

1383
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 1: my Jimmy experience. Jimmy's got a grown on me. But

1384
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: he's a pretty flawed player, just like Tanny Hill is

1385
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: a flawed player. You gotta be able to run the

1386
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: ball with both of them. When you can run the ball,

1387
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: you're fine. When you can't, you got problems. So you know,

1388
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: Ray Bowl, John Robinson, their New England guys. I don't

1389
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: know if John John might have been there a year

1390
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 1: two with Jimmy, But I I just I don't think

1391
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: Tanny Hills, you know, for Jimmy, that's I don't see

1392
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 1: that happening. I feel Jimmy is more likely to go

1393
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 1: to like the Steelers the Giants. You know, Jimmy's gonna

1394
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: start somewhere else next year, assuming he doesn't win the

1395
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and stay, which you could never discount because

1396
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:26,919
Speaker 1: Kyle Kyle ain't into developing. He's trying to win and

1397
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 1: uh and yeah, but let's not you know, Jimmy's winning

1398
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: his team's winning playoff games. At one point in time

1399
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: in that game, I thought he was gonna throw like

1400
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 1: twenty yards. Now they dropped some balls. But the one

1401
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: thing I'll give Jimmy is he's tough as ship. He's

1402
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: not he ain't scared. But holy Molly, he could have

1403
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 1: thrown He could have thrown seven picks against the backers easily.

1404
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 1: He threw several times out routes or if the dB

1405
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 1: just looking at the ball instead of the offensive player

1406
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: it's picked, he could have thrown multiple pick sixes in

1407
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: that game. The picky through was to throw a pick

1408
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 1: in the baby zone, as rich Gannon would say, the

1409
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 1: way he did at the end of the half, it's

1410
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: just it's unfathomable. But as Jimmy Garoppolo, that's he's got that.

1411
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: Now he's got the memory of a goldfish. The next

1412
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 1: play he could throw a touchdown. But no player in

1413
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: league history can throw a pick six and then a

1414
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 1: touchdown on the next back to back place and just

1415
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: act completely like the pick SIXX never happened. That probably

1416
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 1: is Jimmy Garoppolo's greatest strength. He can make the worst

1417
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:33,640
Speaker 1: play you'll ever see in your football watching life, and

1418
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 1: then the very next play he can throw a sweet

1419
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: pass the debo and you'll be like, does he even remember?

1420
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: And the answer is no, I don't think he does.

1421
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 1: I just think he he moves on, which is a skill.

1422
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: It's a skill which he possesses. But he is a

1423
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 1: He is a roller. If you gamble on the Niners,

1424
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: Holy moy. Also, this thing is Jimmy G is a

1425
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: cooler name to say than Ryan Taniel. Maybe that's part

1426
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: of it. Who's your quarterback Jimmy G. It just it

1427
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: just sounds cool, even though when you watch him he's

1428
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: not as cool of a player as his name sounds.

1429
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Good looking to do it. When you go

1430
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: Ryan tanney Hill, you know, it just kind of feels

1431
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 1: like Ryan Tanneyhill. You just say it out loud, You're like, oh,

1432
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: he's probably a bottom ten quarterback even though he's actually

1433
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 1: not bad. Um. I don't know how I ran it

1434
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 1: on that for so long, but have a good week. Uh,

1435
