10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: So a pretty decent day here. Sometimes we're coming in

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: here and we're polishing turds. Not that we're not polishing

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: turds all the time, but there's more more turds to

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: polish on this day as opposed to some other days.

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: So our lead story is from Indianapolis, where Indiana Jones

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: has been tagged. You can't tag Indiana Jones. Why would

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: you tag Indiana Jones? Come on, well, the Colts. If

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: you didn't hear and maybe not, maybe you. Here is

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: the deadline day to tag players, and a few players

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: around the NFL got tagged. The most interesting one we

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: start with that, and that is Daniel Jones, who was

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: given what they say is a rarely used the rarely

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: used transition tag. So he got that tag. You're it,

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: there you go. So the Colts are going to give

24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones thirty seven point eight million. Thirty seven point

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: eight million, that's the by now rate for Daniel Jones

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: there in instead of the franchise tag, which would have

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: paid him like an extra six million dollars on top

28
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: of that. And so that opens up the possibility since

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: it was not the franchise tag instead it was the

30
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: transition tag. It's all just red tape bull crap bureaucracy,

31
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: but it means that there is there's a way. Could

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: could Daniel Jones. Could Daniel Jones leave the Colt Yes,

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: and the compensation would go to Indian Appose, so Jones

34
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: can can sign an offer sheet with another team next

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: week March eleventh. I know you're excited about that. Mark

36
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: that on your on your calendar app on your phone,

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: March eleventh. There the Colts have will have five days

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: five days to match or allow him to wild all

39
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: go off into the wild blue yonder and get out

40
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: of here. Daniel Jones. Now, as Vin Scully used to say,

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: it is interesting to note that Indy picking up the

42
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: tag on Daniel Jones means they decided not not to

43
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: give any kind of tag. They could not do two,

44
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: so they didn't give one to Alec Pierce, the wide

45
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: receiver who they're trying to sign to a contract. So

46
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: that is a good jumping up point. Let us discuss

47
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: the question for the class, and you're part of the class.

48
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: Thumbs up or thumbs down on the Colts picking Daniel

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: Jones over Alec Pierce, that was the choice. So I've

50
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: got spaghettios, antibiotics, and one eight hundred flowers, and we

51
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together. We're gonna make

52
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: some Jimmy chungis is what we're gonna make, Jimmy chunk,

53
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: all right, So a the thumbs up thumbs down, I'm

54
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: going thumbs down, and I'll go another thumbs down, and

55
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: then if I can get more thumbs down, I'll get more.

56
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: But capital d down, down, down, down, down, down, down

57
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: down down. To me, this is football malpractice. It is

58
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: you should not be doing this. What are you thinking? Seriously?

59
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: What do you think? Indy? Now I understand the backstory.

60
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: We talked about it in he traded a gaggle of

61
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: draft picks. They got saucy. They got sauce gardener from

62
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: the Jets, and so they boxed themselves into this awkward

63
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: situation where they were stuck between the devil and the

64
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: deep blue sea. And so there's this financial broom closet

65
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: and they fell. They were forced to double down on

66
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, but they were not. So it's a total

67
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: panic move when you think about you look at the

68
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: resume of Daniel Jones and what even when he did

69
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: in Indy, and there's a lot of people that are

70
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: selectively telling you that Daniel Jones was amazing for the Colts.

71
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: And so again they were right there, devil on one side,

72
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: the deep blue Sea on the other, and they chose

73
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: to toss out the anchor. No, you're not supposed to

74
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: do that. And now you're not gonna hear this. A

75
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: lot of plays in the daytime, guys. They're suck ups,

76
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: most of them. So the reality is this, Daniel Jones

77
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: was on a proved deal in twenty twenty five. He

78
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: didn't prove it. He didn't and so why are you

79
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: rewarding him with this this thirty seven point eight million

80
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: dollar contract. It's for Gayzy, is what it is, right,

81
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: And so what exactly did Daniel Jones prove last year, Okay,

82
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: let's go through it. So he proved moved that. As

83
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: the season went on, he got exposed right that. For

84
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: a while it was a smoking mirror show. And then

85
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: eventually Daniel Jones turned into the same stumble bum that

86
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: we saw with the Giants. It was the same stumblebum.

87
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, He's fine for a few games there at

88
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, and then the wheels on

89
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: the bus came off. The wheels on the bus. They

90
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: didn't go round and round, they came off. They did.

91
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: They did, And so Jones his wide angle wins in

92
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: his career. Look at his Pro Football Reference packed thirty

93
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: two career wins in the NFL as a starting quarterback

94
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: seven years, thirty two wins and then snap crackle pop

95
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: as in Indians. And he wasn't playing well before that,

96
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: and then four or five games that were el stinko

97
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: and then he got hurt and you're gonna reward him

98
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: with thirty seven point eight million because you're afraid he's

99
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna leave. You should drive them to the airport and

100
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: you're afraid he's gonna leave. This's insanity. It's absolute insanity,

101
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: is what it is, and he's not head and shoulder.

102
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: This is the main issue. If there was no one

103
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: else who was as good as Daniel Jones would be like, Okay,

104
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: I get it. He's not head and shoulders above everyone.

105
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: He's at the same level. You look at who's available,

106
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: the contemporaries on the market, the quarterback market. If he

107
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: did the coll of challenge, let's do the col of chan,

108
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: do the cold chan. You got two a tongue of

109
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: Byloa Kyler Murray, the Little Fella, the Munchkin, and Daniel Jones.

110
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: Those are the three quarterbacks side by side. I call

111
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: them the spaghettios quarterbacks. And now why do I call

112
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: them the Spaghettios Because they're overwhelmed, overmatched, and overpowered on

113
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: a regular basist of O's a lot of o's. There,

114
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 1: different cans, same crappy product, same flat soda. So that's

115
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: the call to challenge there and the culture like, no, no,

116
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: we have to have our flat soda. We don't want

117
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: someone else's flat soda. We love our flat soda. Daniel Jones, baby,

118
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: oh my god. Meanwhile, wide receiver Alec Pearce, who broke

119
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: out all year unlike Daniel Jones, he did it all year.

120
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: He didn't do it for five games or eight games

121
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: and then disappear. He did it the entire year. He

122
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: was consistent, he was reliable to put a big stats.

123
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: He was legit in his breakout year. And so the Colts,

124
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: they could have punted on Daniel Jones, no loss there,

125
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: he's not that good and locked up Piers. Now they're trying,

126
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: they say to lock him up, good luck on that,

127
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: more than that in a minute. And so instead they said, no, no,

128
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: we really want fool's gold. That's what we want. So

129
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: the Colts they picked the fools goal. Congratulations all right.

130
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: Now.

131
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, staying with the theme of the hour, as I

132
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: have just treated Daniel Jones like a pinata, there are

133
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: reports bouncing around the echo chamber here that's say they wait,

134
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: wait a minute, wait a minute, Minnesota, they don't have

135
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback. They need a quarterback. What are you gonna do?

136
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: And that the Purple people eaters might make Eke and

137
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: Rosewo Minnesota vomit in his mouth. And they are said

138
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: to be exploring the possibility of going after Vanilla vic.

139
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: That could be the move right there, Vanilla Vick. So

140
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: question how believable. How believable are the whispers that the

141
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: Vikings are going to make some kind of offer to

142
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: try to pry away Daniel Jones. Not that they would

143
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: have to pry away that much, because I'm assuming the

144
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: Colts they'll come to their senses here and say, well,

145
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: we're not going to give them that contract, whatever the

146
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: Vikings offer. So I give this the very premise that

147
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: the whispers are true, that the Vikings are going to

148
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: make this run at Daniel Jones. I give this side eye,

149
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: all right. And the reason that I give this side

150
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: eye is we know that Minnesota has a blank square

151
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: on the quarterback bingo card. They don't have anything right.

152
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: They've tried hope, they've tried cosmic intervention, they tried JJ McCarthy,

153
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: which apparently he's now outside the bubble of trust. So

154
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: he's out. The bubbles burst and that's it. Pop goes

155
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: the babble. So what do you do? What do you do? Well?

156
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: You go shopping on the clearance aisle. And this is

157
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: the NFL's version of the rummaging through the dented can

158
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: aisle at High V You're going through all the dented

159
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: cans there and all that stuff. But Minnesota, they have

160
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: the pick of the litter. That's the goodness. I'll be

161
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: Benny Bright said, you have to pick of the litter.

162
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: Congratulations there. Of course, the Picco litter is all the cracked,

163
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: damaged and warped quarterbacks as we have laid out here.

164
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: So you've got to pick a litter. You're gonna need

165
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: antibiotics speak cause you're gonna get cat scratch fever is

166
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: what you're going to get. And as for Daniel Jones,

167
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: they would have to pay him, if my math is correct,

168
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: I'm using Malard math, about forty million a year on average,

169
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more than the Vikings thing, paying about

170
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: forty million dollars a year, which would be like paying

171
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: for a thick steak at Ruth Chris Steakhouse, and you're

172
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: paying that price and you're getting a microwaved hot pocket. No,

173
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm not here to knock the hot pocket. I've had them.

174
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: Some of them are good, some of them are horrific,

175
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: but it's not the same as a nice steak. But wait,

176
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: there's more. Oh, we're not done. No, you'd also to

177
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: get Daniel Jones. You'd have to give the Colts compensation.

178
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: A lot of compensation that would be. And again we

179
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: just laid out all these guys are about to say

180
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: they've all got warts and moles and all that stuff.

181
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: That would be shrewd dumbness if you decide on Daniel Jones. Now,

182
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 1: if you do the malord math on that, the malarads

183
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: that Danny Dimes ends up in the Twin Cities, I'll

184
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: put that at plus five hundred, which, if you're not

185
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: good with math, that implies, based on malor math, a

186
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: about a fifteen percent chance, about a fifteen percent chance,

187
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: which is higher than it should be, higher than it

188
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: should be. It should be because the Golden rule is

189
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: in play. And the only reason I'm going around fifteen

190
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: percent is the Golden rule, which is it's not what

191
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's who you know. And it is true

192
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: that Kevin O'Connell seems to be calling the shots there

193
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. He had Jones in the building for a

194
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: cup of coffee and they hung out together for half

195
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: a season, so there's a common bond. And to that,

196
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: I say, whoopedie, damn do That's what I say. I'm

197
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: leaving a fifteen percent chance on that. Now, last word, here,

198
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: let's circle back. We talked about Alec Pierce, the wide

199
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: receiver who was hanging out there in Indy, and the

200
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: Colts decided that they wanted to tag Daniel Jones and said, well,

201
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: you know what, we want to keep you. But yeah, okay,

202
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: So we are told the Colts are again very motivated

203
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: to get Pierce in his contract done as we're about

204
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: a week away now from the start of NFL free agency.

205
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: So the question who's going to be bidding, Who's going

206
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: to be bidding for the pending free agent wide receiver

207
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: late of Indianapolis here, Alec Pierce. So this is one

208
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: of those stories. I call it a one eight hundred

209
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: flower story. Now why do I call it that, because

210
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: this is going to look like The Bachelor, NFL edition

211
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: of The Bachelor. Imagine, if you will, Alec Pearce standing

212
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: there in a nice tuxedo and there's a bunch of teams,

213
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: now not every team, but a bunch of teams that

214
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: are lined up, and they all went and got their

215
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: roses and they said, hey, Alex, and will you accept

216
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: this franchise tag row and then he'll say yes or

217
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: no and all that, and he would be crazy at

218
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: this point not to test the market. So all you

219
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: have to do is wait a week and then you

220
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: are able to take bits on it from it. Of course,

221
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: there's a legal tampering periods. He's gonna already know. They

222
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: probably are now his agent knows who wants to pay

223
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: him or not. But he did have the breakout seasons.

224
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: We talked about Alex Pierce last year in Indianapolis, and

225
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: you gotta think his agent's phone and the text messages

226
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: and all that will be blown up like a mom

227
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: and pop pizza shop on Super Bowl Sunday, like there'll

228
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: be a lot going on. And it really comes down it,

229
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: does he want to stay in Indianapolis? Okay, fine, you

230
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: could stay there, or you could do some dumpster diving

231
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: with the Raiders or the Titans. Couple of crappy teams

232
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: like that that have money, bad teams with cap space

233
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: and no shame. You could say, what about the Patriots

234
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: they don't have any receivers there any good and they

235
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: got to the Super Bowl. Or the Buffalo Bills they

236
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: don't have any receivers there any good and they got

237
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen that they need help there. Meanwhile, Pearce is

238
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: sitting there like a like a guy at auction. Do

239
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: I hear thirty thirty million? Thirty million? Do I thirty

240
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: one million? Thirty one million? The back thirty one million

241
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: man the brown hatton back? All right? Thirty two million,

242
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: thirty two million, go much going twice, going three times,

243
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: So thirty two million. Someone's gonna overpay. They always do,

244
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: they always do. Be sure to.

259
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: Back in the day, while I was doing some work

260
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio, for a number of years,

261
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: I ran a gossip sports gossip website that was that

262
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: was my thing. I was whatsing around with that, did

263
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: that for a number of years, had some success with that,

264
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: got some critical acclaim whatever that's worth obviously nothing because

265
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it anymore, although I can't buy my

266
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: website back for like ten thousand dollars or whatever it is.

267
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, it's ridiculous. But back in the day

268
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: when I did that job, we had a mantra in

269
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: the newsroom that when I was putting that together, aggregating

270
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: a rumor is just a fact that has yet to

271
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: be discovered. And today's rumors or tomorrow's news, well that's

272
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: been proven correct. Again if you have not heard by now,

273
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: a story that we talked about as a rumor over

274
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks has turned out to be reality.

275
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have said bye bye, and they have informed

276
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray that he will be fired, that he's done,

277
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: he's out, and he is going to be able to

278
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: go to another NFL team when the new league year

279
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: begins a week from today. His reign of terror in

280
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: the Desert will come to an end, and they will

281
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: drive him to Sky Harbor Airport there in the Valley

282
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: of the Sun and say get out of here. Now.

283
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: Murray posted a sappy, good buy note to the fans

284
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: in the Valley of the Sun there on social media.

285
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: It was ninety nine words, the ninety nine ninety nine words,

286
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: and now some fans ran to defend Kyler Murray upset

287
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: that he used one word in particular. Now there were

288
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: three paragraphs, but ninety nine worth three paragraphs, and there's

289
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: one word in particular that upset people. He used the

290
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: word failed, and that was the money. Quote he said,

291
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: I wanted nothing more than to be the one to

292
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: and the seventy seven year route for this organization. I

293
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: am sorry, he said I failed us close quote. So

294
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point, and let's discuss

295
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: the question. Kyler Murray says that he quote failed the

296
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and a number of jocksniffers running to defend

297
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Is that valid or invalid that he used

298
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: the word failed? Kyler Murray, So I've got pyromaniac, memory, foam,

299
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: and KFC and we will combine all of these things

300
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: together and we are going to play Connect three is

301
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: what we're going to play. So number one, number one.

302
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: So we ran this through the very technical, very technical

303
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: Malor Lie detector, the Mallard Lie detector, and we determined

304
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: there were no lies detected, no lies detected, none, Zippo, zippo.

305
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: The guy, Kyler Murray was the number one overall um

306
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: of the twenty nineteen collegiate Draft. Now, when you are

307
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: the top pick, is it fair or unfair to expect

308
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: that you're getting the team that's drafting the players getting

309
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback who's a Hollywood star? Is that fair or unfair?

310
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: I believe it's fair. I believe it's fair. And I'm

311
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: the one with the microphone, so I'm gonna go first.

312
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: You can call in later if you want. I believe

313
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: that's fair. Now, did the Cardinals get a Hollywood level quarterback? No,

314
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: under any measurement, they did not get a Hollywood level quarterback.

315
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: What they got was a Bollywood quarterback. That's what the

316
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: not Hollywood bally would all right for bally Wood, That's

317
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: what they got. Kyler Murray saying that he failed, that's

318
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: even an understatement, right. It's like a pyromaniac arsonist showing

319
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: up to the fire and going, boy, somebody really burned

320
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: this place down. I wonder what that was all about Yeah,

321
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks supposed to elevate everyone, and he didn't do it.

322
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: And to be fair, he needed a booster seat. So

323
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: we knew going in it was not gonna be easier

324
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray. Finishes ten games under five hundred, ten

325
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: games under five hundred, not exactly a franchise savior. And

326
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: he wasn't even a five hundred quarterback. And get the

327
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: playoff resume. And if you had been drafted, whoever you

328
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: might be, if you had been drafted with the top

329
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: pick of the twenty nineteen NFL draft, you would have

330
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: the same number today as Kyler Murray of playoff wins.

331
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: He didn't win a single playoff game. Squad douche in

332
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: terms of playoff wins none And you know he and

333
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: I want to kill him, and I am going to

334
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: be Benny bright Side. He said, well, you can't be

335
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: Benny Bright's. You've been ripping Kyler murright this, I was

336
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: right in Hostey And I'm sure the Arizona Republic will

337
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: write a tract shit and apology to me. And do

338
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: they still even have that newspaper? I don't know. I

339
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: feel like all newspapers are out of business at this point.

340
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: But if they're still around, they they said, you know what,

341
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: that guy Mattelin was right, Maybe we should pay more

342
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: attention to that overnight guy on Fox. He called this

343
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, seven years ago. He called this anyway,

344
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: I knew right away and the moment I knew, well,

345
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: first of all, looking at Kyler Murray looks like a

346
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: glitch in a video game. Not a good one. Not

347
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: a good one. But I think it was actually on

348
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. I think it was before the draft.

349
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was interviewed. I think it was on the

350
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show, and he was waiting for his dad

351
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: to answer question. He didn't know what to say, and

352
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: his dad was like there and his parent was along

353
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: and answering the question. I said, oh my god, this

354
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: is terrible. And that was a sign of coming attractions,

355
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: is what it was. So no playoff wins, he did

356
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: lead the league in one category, So I will pump

357
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: the tires on Kyler. Congratulations seven years as an NFL's

358
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, and he led the

359
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: NFL in sacks taken. So condract, you know, impress it.

360
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: Not everyone can leave the NFL and sacks taken. But

361
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: there you go, that and that, and I don't know

362
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: that we'll see another quarterback that has a more impressive

363
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 1: signature moment playing quarterback in the NFL than Kyler Murray

364
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: who famously and it's one of the all time great

365
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: moments in my career and do this a long time.

366
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: The study clause, the homework clause in Kyler Murray's contract,

367
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: where he literally literally had to have it in writing.

368
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: The team had they felt it was so important. He

369
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: was such a such a loser and he was so

370
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: lazy that they had to put it in the contract

371
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: where he was contractually obligated to you know, do his

372
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: job and to like watch tape and study for the

373
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: opponent and all that stuff. And some of Europe said, well,

374
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: you know, these people say, oh, you didn't fail. He

375
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: did fail, that's obvious. But the good news is for

376
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: Kyler is that while he flopped playing football in Arizona

377
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: with the joystick, he was one of the great gamers

378
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: in the state of Arizona, top ten gamer. When it

379
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: comes to call of duty, first ballot, Hall of Famer,

380
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: Video Game Hall of Fame. Now I know they give

381
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: you a gold jacket when you go to the Pro

382
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame? What do you get when you

383
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: go to the Gamer Hall of Fame? Is it a

384
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: golden joystick? Is there something like a cartridge? Is there?

385
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is? All right now, payt you?

386
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: So keeping the drum beat going and going and going

387
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: and going. So what is the forecast? You pull out

388
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: the DoPT two thousand radar. What is the forecast for

389
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray? Who has now been excommunicated from the Cardinals.

390
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: So what's next on the forecast? So the forecast, if

391
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: you look right now, the forecast is the He's getting

392
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: the day SPA send off. It's a nice SPA day

393
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: for Kyler. Go to the spall have a good time.

394
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: Imagine if you will, a world where you are fired

395
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: from your job. You're tossed overboard and you land in

396
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: a velvet lifeboat. That's Kyler Murray. Remember, sports is not

397
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: reality like the reality is. And what I mean by

398
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: that is a different cartoon issuites. It's a different world. Normally,

399
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: when somebody loses their job, you're like, oh man, I'm

400
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: bummed out. That sucks for that guy. He's gonna have

401
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 1: to go an unemployment he's gonna have to find another job.

402
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? You gotta go to the

403
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: Express Employment website and all that. So that's normal, But

404
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: in sports, the Cardinals will be paying the little munchkin

405
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: thirty six point seven million to not play quarterback. Do

406
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: you understand how much of a absolute loser, a jackwagon

407
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: one has to be for a team to give you

408
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: that kind of severance package that you're so useless Kyler Murray,

409
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals would rather pay almost thirty seven million

410
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: to not have you, That you're that much of a

411
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: bad influence in the locker room, and you're that you're

412
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: that pathetic on the field. It's wild. That is a

413
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: severance package wrapped in a memory foam mattress. That is

414
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: what that is. And the Cardinals didn't just throw him

415
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: off the ship. They tossed him overboard. They gave him

416
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: a charcuterie board in that boat, and they gave him

417
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: a spa, you know, the rope from the spa and

418
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: just everything. I mean, this gave him everything. And the

419
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: crazy part is that now he wasn't good and we

420
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: documented that, and now there are teams that are like, wow,

421
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: this is great. I saw some NFL punnits that Kyler

422
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: Murray is clearly the top quarterback of ail. Really, what

423
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: is the measurement on that? How are you measuring that

424
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, who doesn't even like football, is not good

425
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: at football, is the top guy available clearly? Really? What

426
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: kind of fentanyl are you on, sir? If you think that? Seriously?

427
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 2: Like?

428
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: What are we doing? But there you go, Well Kyler

429
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: Murray and there's always out. Is one man's trash is

430
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: another man's fantasy reclamation project. But to say that he's

431
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: clearly better than the other quarterbacks, I don't buy that.

432
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: I don't know how anyone with an IQ above twenty

433
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 1: could buy that. The Vikings again, every quarterback's being connected

434
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: with the Vikings, Daniel Jones, Kyler Murray. They should have

435
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: like seven quarterbacks on the field. Yeah, that's it. Just

436
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: go with four. No, no, you have three offensive linemen. You're

437
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: gonna have seven quarterbacks one wide receiver. Now you might

438
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: go with five quarterbacks and then four offensive linemen. The

439
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: rest would be be pass catchers. I mean, you could

440
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: do there's different ways you can do it, but my god,

441
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: so the Jets, now that would be perfect. You imagined

442
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray with the Jets. The Raiders, they're gonna have

443
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza supposedly if they keep the first pick in

444
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: the draft and they need a bridge quarterback. Of course

445
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: Kyler would be a very small bridge, but that's fine.

446
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: And the island of misfit quarterbacks right there, and even

447
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: this scares me a little bit. The Rams have been mentioned,

448
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: but only because the Rams hired Cliff Kingsbury as a

449
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: Sean McVay loyalist. So Cliff Kingsbury, there's a connection members

450
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: not what you know, it's who you know. And so

451
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury is with the Rams coaching staff unless he

452
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: gets a better job and then leaves. So Cliff Kingsbury's

453
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: hanging out there, and then Kyler Murray could come in

454
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: there be the backup for a year, and it's you know,

455
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of yead. Listen, why not go play for

456
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: the minimum somewhere? Go to the Rams. Have the Rams

457
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: leak good stories about how great you look and practice

458
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: and what a great locker room guy you are. The

459
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: typical bull crap that goes out in the media, and yeah,

460
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 1: play for the minimum and Arizona, remember they're picking up

461
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: the tab like that rich uncle that's got a lot

462
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: of cash and likes to throw it around to show

463
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: everyone in the family how rich he is. And does

464
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: he want to Does Kyler Murray actually want to play

465
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: for a bad team or is he willing to go

466
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: be a backup on the Rams, take a sabbatical and

467
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: make all that money and just play video games? And

468
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: that's it all right? Meanwhile, final point to Seattle. We

469
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: go and you, sir, have just won the Super Bowl MVP.

470
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do now? I'm gonna go find

471
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: a job somewhere else because this team doesn't want me

472
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: in a clear act of malfeasance. And I know somewhere

473
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: in the great Pacific Northwest JJ and Renton is devastated,

474
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: and no Stradinas is gonna gonna cry like crime Craig

475
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: because Seattle, classless Seahawks, you just went out and won

476
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl MVP. Get out of here. They chose

477
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: not not the place the Seahawks. The franchise tag on

478
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker. They will let him walk away from the

479
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest. And so instead of getting a guaranteed salary

480
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: of fourteen million dollars for one year, he will run

481
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: off carrying his Pete Roselle Super Bowl MVP trophy and say,

482
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: I just played better than anyone else on my offense

483
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl and I'm now going to explore

484
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: the open market. There you go, all right? So the

485
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: question here which direction? Which direction? Is Seahawks running back

486
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker headed as he heads to the auctioning block

487
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: after and he's auctioning his own services. As we said,

488
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: he's he's a free agent and next week and go

489
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: anywhere it wants. So it's nice to know that the

490
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks value the Super Bowl MVP like he is

491
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: a spork from KFC. So he's not just a fork

492
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: or a spoon. He's a spark. So he's a little

493
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: more valuable than just a fork or a spoon. It's

494
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: a multi dimensional situation, but ultimately, just a cheap piece

495
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: of takeout cutlery is what he is. And it's like, hey,

496
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: thanks for the memories. Don't let the door hit you

497
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: where the good Lord split you get out of here,

498
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: and now you're someone else's problem. You're not our problem. Now. Financially,

499
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: this is not bad. Financially this is not bad. This

500
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: is a bonanza. Is what it is. It's a seller's market.

501
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: Sellers market. You look at running backs, and running backs

502
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: have become more in vogue in recent years, as Skwon

503
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: Barkley in Philadelphia was the man of the hour there

504
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: for the Eagles and their championship run, and then Kenneth

505
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: Walker the Super Bowl MVP. So the last couple of

506
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: years it has been an uptick in running backs. So

507
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: it is a seller's market. Has said there's a shortage

508
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: of goods available, so that's a positive. And Breece Hall

509
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: got tagged by the Jets, so he's off the market.

510
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: So Walker becomes the bell of the ball. Yeah, and

511
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: it's happy days are here again. Financially, happy days are

512
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: here again. It's an old show watching on the reruns,

513
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: on the on the streaming and all that. But it's

514
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: like Richie Cunningham out there getting paid, getting paid big money. Now, listen,

515
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: is Walker the greatest running back? No, he's solid. He's

516
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: a solid, not great. It's like he was splitting chores

517
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 1: with Zach Charbonnay in Seattle and Charboney got hurt. So

518
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: Seattle's gonna have to bring multiple running backs in. They're

519
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: gonna draft one and then likely sign one as a

520
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: free agent, and so we'll see how this goes. But

521
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: good luck to Kenneth Walker who goes to market. Now

522
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: who's window shopping? Who's out there window shopping? So you

523
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: got the supposedly the Giants, I thought they had some

524
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: running backs. The Giants cansa city. You got the Broncos

525
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: have been mentioned as a possibility for Kenneth Walker. So

526
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: there's a few teams out there that are really horny

527
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: to get a running back. They're really horny to get

528
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: a running back upgrade. They see the explosive style and

529
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: all that. So Kenneth Walker, it's like the classic scene

530
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: from the old movies, ready to say, show me the money,

531
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: Show me the money. Now. My unsolicited malor advice to

532
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker the Super Bowl MVP, all things being equal,

533
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: you take your talents, and you take your GPS, and

534
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: you set your GPS and your talents to Arrowhead Stadium

535
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: and you go there, set that GPS and do not

536
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: look back. Do not look back now. Seat on. Meanwhile,

537
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: they're going to try to find again some new plastic

538
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: forks and spoons and some knives and see what they

539
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: can find there.

543
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: we go, Here we go. Here we all agree. This

544
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: is one big gets great.

545
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 5: A report over the weekend suggested that Kirk Cousins could

546
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 5: be selective about his next destination, that he could even

547
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 5: quote wait through the offseason for some team situation to

548
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 5: change in his favor. Ben, could you see the season

549
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 5: starting with Kirk Cousins unsigned.

550
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: No, I think he'll sign. He might sign with CBS,

551
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: but he'll sign. He'll sign with somebody if the TV

552
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: hires him. I think he'll go there. But there's enough

553
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: starting jobs open. There's not enough quarterbacks. There'll be a

554
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: job if he wants to get a job in Pittsburgh.

555
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: If Rogers doesn't go there in Miami, Minnesota yet again, Arizona,

556
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: they bunch of you up next.

557
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 5: Trey Ungon hasn't played a minute for the Washington Wizards,

558
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 5: but he's already been kicked out of a game after

559
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 5: being ejected from the bench on Monday, Fans in DC

560
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 5: were loving it, going to social media to proclaim Young

561
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 5: a legend. Yes, Ben, do you think Young is going

562
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 5: to bring the Wizards back from irrelevance.

563
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: The Wizards last one fifty games. I believe before I'm

564
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: a lot, before I was a live coop. I've been along.

565
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: I've been around a long time. No, not gonna have

566
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. The guy's always hurting. Next.

567
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

568
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 5: With March Madness soon approaching, talks of an NCAA tournament

569
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 5: expansion have revved up again. However, coach k said, that's

570
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 5: a big mistake. You don't mess with something that is gold.

571
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 5: Is he right?

572
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: Well, it's risky, but if TV is willing to pay

573
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: for it, whatever TV wants, they're gonna do. They've proven

574
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: that in college basketball. How do we how do we do? Coop?

575
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: You pass hours? They would put it on the bar,

576
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,800

Speaker 6: I love random questions.

591
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: Okay, ferg Dog rights In says, is it okay to

592
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: use AI to talk to women if you have no game?

593
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, I think that's very creative.

594
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: It's like Google Translate for women.

595
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you will.

596
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 7: I mean, every conversation's random anyways, So why not practice

597
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 7: on someone who's not.

598
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 6: Going to give you the ick face every time?

599
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: Good chatbot or something like that. Yeah, all right.

600
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 7: It's the same as trying new moves on a blow

601
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 7: up doll, like they're not gonna judge.

602
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: You, all right. Douglas writes in from Mississippi, says, I'm

603
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: forty three. If I only had two partners and I

604
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: married both of them, one was twenty one years the

605
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: second going on seven, What does that say about me?

606
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: What do you think, Lorena?

607
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 6: That sounds like you're a one girl type of guy?

608
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, obviously you know he's not out there. You

609
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: sound faithful, yes, very much, though that's what it sounds.

610
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 6: Maybe you're a little afraid to try new things.

611
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: Well, he's locked up now, but if the contract ends

612
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:14,439
