00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: of good. The entire city now drinking green beer, and

22
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: we're in here discussing football in March, and everyone else

23
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: is discussing college everyone's discussing college basketball and drinking. We're

24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,679

25
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,440

Speaker 1: to the around to the podcast of all the NFL,

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: and there was one person conspicuously absent. And I'm gonna

30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: say it's the person that's only Irish by proxy. That's right.

31
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: My wife had planned that night, so I watched our

32
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: children much in advantage. We don't need to get into it,

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: but I think that I think it was noticed, uh

34
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: by a number of people that you know, the three

35
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: of us took time to go. We were very thankful

36
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: to management for throwing the party. Number one, let's start

37
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: right there. Greg. It's on the way home. For Greg,

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: he could have pulled the car over. No one was here.

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: Still you you could have pulled the car for for

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: two minutes, walked in and just said hi here, I

41
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,400

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: to everyone that's involved, both people that are in the studio,

51
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: that's not happening anytime soon. Look out its NFL network

52
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: that maybe if Greg would have came to the bar,

53
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: it would have sounded like that as Mattie Zicks talented

54
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: NFL media contributor. Yeah he did the voice work as well. Anyway,

55
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: So Greg, before we move on and get into the show,

56
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: an official state this. Um, I mean, I have no regrets.

57
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: I had. I had to watch watch my children. There

58
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: are these two younger, younger people mark like they want

59
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: to you know, while I was home with them. They're

60
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: they're they're at home. Where is daddy? You know, sometimes

61
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: you have to put your offspring second is daddy ever

62
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: coming back? Well, there's an open bar involved. That would

63
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: be a very clear time to do that. Who is

64
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: my dad? All right? So that's hanging in the air,

65
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: by the way. Then the subject line in the air.

66
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: The subject line of that email was NFL podcast team

67
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: thank you. Greg said thank you in his own way,

68
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: in a very specific Greg like way, like NFL podcast

69
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: f you. That's much closer to the reality. I know

70
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: how they can There's one clear way to look at me.

71
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm a parent. Yeah, we get it. No, they want

72
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: to thank us. There's one way some dollar bills? Well

73
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: how about this? How about this angle? Greg is again

74
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: positioning himself as NFL Networks, not realizing the truth. Thank

Speaker 1: about it until about an hour before. And at that

79
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: point it's too late to change moves. My wife had plans.

Speaker 1: you know, in the secondary level, but be mindus stories

85
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: to get to. But that's solid news. I'll be much

86
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: better than a couple of six weeks from now. I

87
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: like how you equate. You give the same grade to

88
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: underwhelming news as you give to our podcast on on

89
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: a regular basis. Between the lines, you don't even have

90
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: to not even between uh and then and then? Can

91
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: we get a little timpany drum for this? Yes, the

92
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: return one of the all time favorite segments of the

93
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast. You know what I'm talking about.

94
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: You're the GM. It's back now, Greg Bone this year. Yeah,

95
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: if you if you're a fan of the show last

96
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: March we played we'll get into it. But you're the GM.

97
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a little role playing later in the show.

98
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: But let's get into it. Let's get into news and

99
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: uh sid uh we have something to talk to you

100
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: about a little bit later as well, but I'm gonna

101
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna holster that for now. Let's do some news.

102
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: Happy St. Patrick's day. Everybody was that? Another noted Irishman,

103
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Dave Damask. Yeah, most irishman I know. Yeah. Uh, let's

104
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: start in Oakland, where Latavia's Murray Uh is not coming back,

105
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: and we'll get to that in a in a second.

106
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: He's he has a new home and Adrian Peterson is

107
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: still out there. But the Raiders haven't shown a lot

108
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: of interest. Well, maybe they're gonna look at somebody else,

109
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: somebody a little bit off the radar, but hard to forget.

110
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: The Raiders, according to Ian Rappaport, have looked at Marshaw

111
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: and Lynch as a potential option to join the team.

112
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: In Lynch, who spent the season out of football, retired.

113
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: Uh didn't show any hints that he wanted to come

114
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: back and play. Kgmz FM and San Francisco first reported

115
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: this development. Lynch turns thirty one in a month, and um, West,

116
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: is this I mean, is this the type of fodder

117
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: that lands on our doorsteps at March seventeen? Should we

118
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: take this seriously at all? I'm a little bit torn

119
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: on it. I'm skeptical that it's a good idea. First

120
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: of all, because last time we saw Marshawn Lynch, he

121
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: was injuries had waylaid him for half the season and

122
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: he was outplayed by Thomas Rawls and the other half

123
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: of the season. If you want an aging running back,

124
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: why not get one who's hyper motivated like Adrian Peterson

125
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: rather than one who is deciding whether he still has

126
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: the itch to play foot ball, like Marshawn Lynch. So

127
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm just here, but he is, he's from that area.

128
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: He's from Hype, right, Yeah. I think it feel it

129
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: feels has the makings almost of a pr move because

130
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: he's so Bay Area based that it's it just makes

131
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: sense from a Raider's angle to have that guy on

132
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: your team if he were still around. But it tells

133
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: you so much about Adrian Peterson's market on some level.

134
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Why are we pulling this guy back into the league. Well,

135
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: Lynch is mulling the idea. According to Mike Garret Folo,

136
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's in shape, he's getting in shape. He

137
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: was hanging around. We saw him a decent amount last year,

138
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: considering he was not in the NFL. He's just kind

139
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: of hanging out with the Seahawks. After the season, he

140
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: was like on the sidelines and whatnot. Uh, you know,

141
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: the thing left unseat so far as the Seahawks still

142
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: have him, have his rights, So would the Raiders really

143
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: want to give up something to get Marshall Lynch. Maybe

144
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: Seattle likes lynching up. They would just let him go.

145
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: There is suddenly nothing. There is some some talk out

146
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: there that they would be more likely to release him

147
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: than trade him. At this point, what are they gonna

148
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: They're not gonna gonna get. You're gonna get like a

149
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: conditional six round pick. It's better than him never playing again.

150
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: I can't imagine he would fetch much. Maybe this will

151
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: be an or he is a year younger than Adrian

152
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: Peterson and just had the year off. It wasn't he

153
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: wasn't like recovering from injury. Well, he wasn't recovering from

154
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: injury necessarily. I guess you could make you can make

155
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: the case be fun. I'd love to see this, wouldn't you.

156
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: They can. They certainly can use an early down back.

157
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: I just think it's there's a lot of good backs

158
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: in the draft too. It's a strange always a little

159
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: leery of team signing players for PR reasons or for

160
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: regional or geoge appeal. And he is Oakland to the bone.

161
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: If you remember the shelved bio pick Uh was about

162
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: his life growing up in Oakland. It was so disastrous

163
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: that they hit it the way that Jerry Lewis hid

164
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: The Day the Clowns Cried movie. It was that type

165
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: of situation. I would love to watch them. Rare that

166
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: Dan goes with a reference to old even for West.

167
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: I have a question about bio Yeah, Mark, wasn't there

168
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: a time in the eighties or nineties where it was

169
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: always pronounced biopic? I believe you're right, Sudden, Remember when

170
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: Gutsy turned into Gutty? When did this happen here? Well?

171
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: I think which in general is floating away, So I

172
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: think biopic where is better though than biopics. I'm much

173
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: preferred biopic The David Clown Crime And we're gonna break

174
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: into that seventy two American drama film directed by and

175
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: starring Jerry Lewis. How did that get on your radar?

176
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: Jerry Lewis is a comedianst film Holocaust film where he

177
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: played a clown. Sounds like a terrible idea, Well exactly Now,

178
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm putting Marshawn Lynch's movie a little bit ahead of that,

179
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: but they're equally hidden away from Society's what I'm saying.

180
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: Along with the Joe Flacco plays Johnny Unitus biopic, I

181
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: want to see that thing float to the surface and

182
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: other Raiders news. Jared Cook finds a home. Uh Cook

183
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: who really bargained himself with him and his age and

184
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: out of a perfect spot in green Bay ended up

185
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: on the street when green Bay went and got Marty

186
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: Bennett and head well, he lands on his feet. He

187
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: signs a two years, twelve point two million dollar deal,

188
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: according to rap sheet with the Raiders. The Raiders later

189
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: confirmed the deal. Cook had also drawn interest from the

190
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks and the Vikings, but he decides to go to Oakland.

191
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna turn thirty next month, Mark Sessler, And this

192
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: was definitely on my radar that he might have really

193
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: blown a golden opportunity to make his career, uh, really

194
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: get his career set up for a nice back end run.

195
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: But landing with Derek Carr that's a nice spot too.

196
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: It is I he's on my radar for the fact

197
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: that he's already talking about trying to pay Amari Cooper

198
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: for the number eighty nine Jersey. Is anyone really care

199
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: or even know what number Jared Cook is? Please? Number

200
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: one number? That is kind of tiresome into That's the

201
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: trope of the off season. Two like I'll pony up

202
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: what it takes to get their dirty you know, come

203
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: back to its slow down and the number two things.

204
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's another terrible day for our ill fated

205
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: Making the Leap series. Clive Walford was last year's high

206
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: flying Make the Leap guy and they you know, what

207
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: does it say about him when you're going out and

208
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: says he's too slow? Ye, he's flying out of relevance.

209
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: Is what's happening now? These agents that blow it for

210
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: their contract. It's like if a player does that poorly,

211
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: they get ripped for and maybe they do by other

212
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: ages a much better deal than he got last year.

213
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: He there's a lot of incentives they have not put

214
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: out the the I suspect that the base salary, even

215
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: if he got every incentive, he's getting less money than

216
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: the Packers offered him per year. And I suspect there's

217
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: a ton of incentives. He's getting significantly less for a

218
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: place that he probably would have rather not have played.

219
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: The guy cost the money with an amateurish move. What

220
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: did it was he went to the media and leaked

221
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: this whole thing that they've broken off negotiations, and there

222
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: was a report that went out there last Friday. Cook

223
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: and the Packers have broken off negotiations, so they leaked that.

224
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: The Packers saw that Ted Thompson this reportings in Milwaukee.

225
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: Jordan's son, Ted Thompson saw that and was basically just

226
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: screw these amateurs, called up Martellis Bennett and had a

227
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: deal done in thirty minutes and cost Yared Cook millions

228
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: of dollars. Ted Thomas don't play like you don't. You

229
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: don't play that game with him. He so, he he doesn't.

230
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Usually he's not that active this time of year. He

231
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna get involved with games like that. But it

232
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: could have been a lot worse. He could have been

233
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. He could have gotten way less money than

234
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: even this, all things considered, good, you've really piste off

235
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: Ted Thompson when you're making him get active in free agencies. UH.

236
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: In other UH former Raiders news, Latavius Murray as a

237
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: new home it is Minnesota with the Vikings. The team

238
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: announced Wednesday night that they have signed the running back

239
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: who rushed for almost eight hundred yards in a career

240
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: high twelve touchdowns on nine carries last season in Oakland

241
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: is a three year deal worth fifteen million, according to

242
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: rap Sheet and UH that led officially to the end

243
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: of Adrian Peterson's UH Incredible career in Minnesota. The team

244
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: later said that UH Peterson will not be back in

245
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota West. Your thoughts on the idea of Ottavious Murray

246
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: UH one replacing another twenty eight Adrian Peterson. Going from

247
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson to the Destitute Man's Adrian Peterson is more

248
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: depressing than going from Jay Cutler to Mike Glennon. It's like,

249
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: it's like when the band's trying to get together and

250
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: you can get the whole band except the lead singer.

251
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: That's what you're doing when you're replacing Adrian Peterson. Sticks. Yeah,

252
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: couldn't you use any band there? Any band? Why not?

253
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: Of course? Of course I would have went Journey or

254
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: it's like a more prominent lead singer for the band,

255
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: said Getty Lee, and I don't know. No, isn't that rush? Yeah,

256
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: you're right. Yeah, A lot of people believe that the worst.

257
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: A lot of people believe that Paul McCartney died in

258
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: the late sixties, so you could go Beatles. You if

259
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the ore pop culture references are inching

260
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: up decade by decade. I see the Beatles a little

261
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: more relevant than Sticks and Rent than Journey. Yeah, it's

262
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: just a dad Paul McCartney, you know, still in the mix.

263
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: So you have a lot to explain. Not according to

264
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: some theories, right, but there's a lot of holes in

265
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: those theories, including you know, all of the millions of

266
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: sightings and recordings he's made in the last not according

267
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: to some of the theories. Dennis de Young is the

268
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: lead singer of Sticks. Mr Rob This by the very curious,

269
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: very curious. It's a great draft for running back. Slatavius

270
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: Murray to me, is not an exciting starting running back.

271
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: He's exactly the type of running back that I think

272
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders smartly believed. Let's let's upgrade like he was

273
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: fine for us. We've got a couple other young guys,

274
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: but let's let's find someone in the draft. It's a

275
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: little more exciting than our sixth round pick from four

276
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: years ago that worked out pretty well. I mean very

277
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: well for a sixth round pick. But you know, it's

278
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: kind of like a C minus starting running back. You

279
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: don't need to spend them that really excited about Minnesota

280
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: Vikings well, I think it's safe to say we're not

281
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: cycling back around to Minnesota for team of a t L.

282
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: Most likely no would be my guests. That was there,

283
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: that was their high point. The Giants moving on. The

284
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: New York Giants are doing uh some business. They are

285
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: expected to hop on the Gino coaster. Well, why don't

286
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: we doing Giants the According to the NFL Network inside

287
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaboord, the Giants are expected to sign Gino on

288
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: Monday after he undergoes a physical. Uh. He will likely

289
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: be brought in as training camp competition. Gino after for

290
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, ultimately forgettable years or maybe unforgettable years with

291
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. Uh is coming off at torn

292
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: A c L. He's twenty six years old, Greg a

293
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: longtime favorite of yours. Another making the lead candidate, which

294
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: is outrageous. Uh, but now he did finish off that

295
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: two thousand and fourteen season strong good still, so now

296
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: he has a haven't seen him since then. He has

297
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: a chance to be Eli's backup, which may not be

298
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: a great prize to win that job because Eli has

299
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: never missed a game in his life. Well, he's coming

300
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: off a tourn a c L, so I think it's

301
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: just good for him to land a good backup job.

302
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: At this point, it's not a bad spot for him.

303
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: And wouldn't it be a Jets You know, you gotta admit,

304
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be a Jets thing if Gina Smith started,

305
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, Eli got hurt or something, and Gino actually

306
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: looks kind of good with the New York Giants. You're

307
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: you're lossing over the part where Gino Smith is an

308
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: awful quarterback. We're still here. We never got fast this Greg,

309
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: you still believe in the like there are a lot

310
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: of things I fear I don't. I don't believe he's

311
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: a great I don't believe he's a great quarterback. I

312
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: think what he showed in his first couple of years,

313
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: include especially those labs that was last handful of starts,

314
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: proved he is as good, if not better than a

315
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: lot of backups in the league. And this is him

316
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: as a young quarterback. I think he's a He's a

317
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: good pickup as a back. There were whispers that he

318
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: was going to go to Cleveland potentially. Nothing in this

319
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: entire offseason brought me more peace and calm than the

320
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: fact that he will not and is not you know Smith,

321
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: Gino Smith, rock Oswiler competition is talcalyptic SCEA. Isn't part

322
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: of being a good backup quarterback not being such a

323
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: irritating personality that you're like nails on a chalkboard to

324
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: your whole locker room, right? I mean that if all

325
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: of that is true, obviously that's like the biggest red

326
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: flag with Gina. But there's a lot of quarterbacks I

327
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: suspect that are out there. You don't believe those theories either. No,

328
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: that that are jerks that people don't like and none

329
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: of us know. And I think Gino has probably taking

330
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: a disproportionate amount of criticism. You know, it was good

331
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: news from nish Metta gets to drop a few more

332
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: bombs over the New York daalely news on on Gino

333
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: Smith's body. I mean, if you thought Gino was unprofessional,

334
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: read those columns. Wow, whoa WHOA Ryan Costello gets into Venetia.

335
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: Now Greg coming out, I'm not getting I like, I

336
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: like Moniche, but he it's a little personal with him

337
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: in Gina. It's a little much. There was a Mo

338
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: Wilkerson's column my Stello references he's a beat writer for

339
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: the New York Post. After Manie drops the Geno bomb,

340
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: he writes another colum eviscerating Bill Wilkerson for looking fat

341
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: at the Temple pre day, which sparked a little a

342
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: lot of fun, a lot of fun. Uh. Moving on, Oh,

343
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: j pp, he's got a new deal with the Giants.

344
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: How about that? He did it? The guy freaking blew

345
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: his handoff with fireworks and lived to tell the tale

346
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: as an NFL player lived period jpp. Um this according

347
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: to raps you again on Friday, they've agreed to terms

348
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: with their star pass rusher in a four year contract. Uh.

349
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: Financial terms related to the deal are still being finalized. Um,

350
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: but Mark Pierre Paul showed last year that he still

351
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: had something in the tank before he went down with

352
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: that sports hernia injury. Still just twenty eight years old, um,

353
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: missing fingers, but still can get to a quarterback? Is he?

354
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: Is he going to be the same guy he was

355
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: before the injury? We don't know, but the Giants are

356
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: willing to invest and find out. They must, They must

357
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: think that potential is very real. It's funny that the

358
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: last offseason when we played that you know You're the

359
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: GM game, A lot of Jets talk centered around how

360
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: they had almost an excess of riches along their defensive line,

361
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: and really it's the strength of the Giants right now.

362
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: You've got Jpp, You've got Snacks Harrison, you've got Olivier

363
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: Vernon Great? Great, uh great? What's this We've got? Who's

364
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: on the terms? Numbers? Listeners love terms of contracts, read

365
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: them off West. JPP signed a four year contract. We're

366
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: sixty two million base up to sixty six million with

367
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: forty million guaranteed. Hey, good for him. Is the most

368
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: guaranteed money from it. I think they need to have

369
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: Their defense has to be the strength that team. If

370
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: if we're going to get the same version of Eli

371
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: Manning we got first, that's awesome. That's an awesome trio

372
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: of starting defense lineman still in their primes. They're making

373
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: a lot of money, but whatever, like they have kind

374
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: of rebuilt that defensive line dominance they had during their

375
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: championship run. And I think he was as good last year.

376
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: Really he had that one year was when he was

377
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: just insane, but other than that, last season was right

378
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: there with any of his pre fireworks accident years, if

379
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: not better. Dan, were you impressed with how West, and

380
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: I handled that breaking news strip right there, a little sloppy,

381
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: but you know, I think you also. West did a

382
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: great job digging it out. And then there was a

383
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: little bit of hesitation. It wasn't smooth, but it was affected.

384
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: West handled it very well. I botched it almost entirely. Look,

385
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: this is not our normal rule. We just we need

386
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: more reps. Absolutely, it's a it's a reps situation. Um

387
00:21:44,240 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: all right. Meanwhile, on the throne of sleeves, I say,

388
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: we trust the just so stupid? How great? When is

389
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: happening there? Exactly? The Aliens are arriving. So the Aliens

390
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: arrive another Yes, they they get on their speaker system.

391
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: That puts me way out of the north. They get

392
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: on their speaker system. They let the people of Foxborough

393
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: know we're here, not as a threat to be um,

394
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: to work with you, to learn with you, to create

395
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: a better universe. Everyone down on the ground takes them

396
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: at their word. And then they just fry them all.

397
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: They gain the trust of the people of New England

398
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: and then they make New England go away. Maki of Alien.

399
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm thankful they got the fifth Super Bowl

400
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: title before the Aliens arrive. Well, that might be the

401
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: only thing that survives the the attack, just molten lava

402
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: of silver from the Lombardi trophies. Anyway, I haven't gotten

403
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: to play that a while because the Patriots only great

404
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: things happened to them. But the New Orleans Saints spent

405
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Thursday courting restricted free agent Malcolm Butler. The gathering came

406
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: and went without a deal for the Pat's cornerback, but

407
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: New Orleans coach uh Sean Payton made a clear Friday

408
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: he was impressed with the twenty seven year old. Peyton

409
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: said he's a sharp, sharp kid. Rap Sheet reported Thursday

410
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: at the meeting went quote very well, leaving leaving both

411
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: sides quote motivated to get a deal done for Butler,

412
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: who was tagged by New England with the first round tender. Greg,

413
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: you know, I can't. I can't get on New England.

414
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: They're doing everything right this offseason, but this is the

415
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: one thing where you could fairly question how they're handing

416
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: with this, given how great Butler has been and and

417
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, he's a hero and he's

418
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: young and effective. I want to see how it ends

419
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: because the whole process confuses me. The reporting around it

420
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: is that okay, like it's moving in that direction, but

421
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: it's long process and it's complicated. And I hear that

422
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: and I and I'm thinking, does that just mean the

423
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna sign him to a contract that the

424
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: Saints sort of negotiate for him? Like? Or what's what's

425
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: so complicated? What do they getting? You know, it's been

426
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: hanging out there for a while, and the longer it

427
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: hangs out there, the more I think maybe maybe it

428
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Bigger question, what what happens to the Malcolm

429
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: Butler biopic? Suddenly it ends with him going to the Saints.

430
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a strange movie. What about the Malcolm

431
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: Butler biopic? That's a totally different deal that seems promising. Dan,

432
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: you asked yesterday in the newsroom why the Patriots prefer

433
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: Stephon Gilmore to Malcolm Butler? And I think anytime you

434
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: can't understand the Patriots movie, you have to kind of

435
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: put yourself in Belichick's mind, which is a weird place

436
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: to be. But he looked back over the past couple

437
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: of years, Malcolm Butler has played great, But what do

438
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots do when they face a dominant X receiver.

439
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: They play Logan Ryan on him with the safety over

440
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: the top and Malcolm Butler cover you're Antonio Browns and

441
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton's, but he's not covering Julio Jones or

442
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: A J. Green or any of those guys. So if

443
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: you're Belichick, I'm guessing he thinks Stephan Gilmore can cover

444
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: those guys and allow me to get more creative or

445
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: not allocate as many resources to that situation. About Butler's

446
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: a smaller cornerback, and that's sort of what's charming about him,

447
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: is he plays so physical and he doesn't care about

448
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: his size. They clearly believe Stefan Gilmore is a more

449
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: talented complete cornerback because they never offered, by according of

450
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: the reports, a contract to Butler anywhere near what Gilmore

451
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: got because Butler would have taken it. So Butler's kind of,

452
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: you know, you can hardly blame him for like it's

453
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: pride his wounded I find myself, I'm amazed that he's

454
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: like trying to convince himself to stay in New and

455
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: like the reports are like he wanted to go and

456
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: see if New Orleans was actually comfortable, because he act

457
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: he was thinking maybe I'll just sign the restricted tender

458
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: and play one more year in New England. I I

459
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: cannot help be so thoroughly exhausted and fed up with

460
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots in the middle of March. They're keeping us busy,

461
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: They're in the middle of news. I know what you're saying.

462
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: I am so tired of this team. Do you want

Speaker 1: to west? You were curious what's going on? And uh what?

464
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: What are you tired of? Many things, but really very

465
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: high on my list? What did I was just I

466
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: just want to let you know you were saying, you know,

467
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: it's weird what's going on in Bill Belichick's mind? All right,

468
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: here's here's I'm ready for live looking both about Jovi

00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: for that glimpse. Um, All right, let's do a little

471
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: uh oh, one last thing. This gotta Lynda holiday. She

472
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: didn't get in there, you know, longtime girlfriend. Oh yeah,

473
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: one last thing is married to football. One last thing.

474
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: I think we brought it up earlier this week, but

475
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: in the Winners and Losers First Week of Free Agency

476
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: piece that Greg wrote in NFL dot Com, you had

477
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: some harsh words about John Lynch. Oh yeah, the yeah,

478
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: the best and worst, best and worst contracts. Excuse me?

479
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: You had um you know you could say harsh things

480
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: to say about John Lynch, about maybe handing out too

481
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: much money and being a little willy nillion his first

482
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: run through free agency. I don't think it was unfair

483
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: criticism by Greg, but you know you're this is a

484
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: good thing. Your profile is high enough where this got

485
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: put on the radar of the very man that you

486
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: were criticizing. San Francisco Forta honors General Manager John Lynch.

00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: John about about this part of the deal. Now you're

491
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: in the public eye and as a GM, and now

492
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: you're now your decisions get analyzed by the pundits as

493
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: Jim Harbas the scribes and the pundits analyzed and sized. Right,

494
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: So how's the alligator skin when the NFL dot Com

495
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: this week calls two of your contracts two of the

496
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: worst free agent contracts of the seventeen season. NFL dot

497
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: Com says, Kyle, you check and Malcolm Smith were dramatically overpaid.

498
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: The agents smelled blood in the water and knocked John

499
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: Lynch around the negotiating table. Oh how's the alligator skin? There?

500
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: Are you now filled with a rage? You want to

501
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: take this guy out? Reaching for his helmet, putting it

502
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: back on, taking a run. Yeah, that's the first I

503
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: heard of that. He went on to defend the moves

504
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: and said that there were other teams willing to pay

505
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: more money for those players. But people are excited about

506
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: the new culture in San Francisco. Greg, your thoughts about

507
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: that going onto John Lynch's radar, and do you have

508
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: any concerns about that? No concerns, you know, His answer

509
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: said at all. He's been through this before as a pro.

510
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: He's not gonna let little criticism bother him. That's what

511
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: he says in public. But you are definitely on John Lynch.

512
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm more concerned with Mark, who you know,

513
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: when we first listened to this made an audible oh

514
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: sound feeling bad for John Lynch, as if he has

515
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: some little victimized um that's gonna wilt well. He openly

516
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: acknowledged that his St. Patrick's day. You know, you're not

517
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: Irish you don't care, but he probably has some Irish

518
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: blood in him. His st Patrick's day has been totally sideswiped.

519
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: Greg's skipping company parties. Doesn't care about the people he

520
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: works with. He's taken new time, you know, first year

521
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: gms out one by one, you know, at one point

522
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: to the feelings kicking. Do we care about other people

523
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: at all? That's the question. This, This is part of

524
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: the you know, the business we're in. I mean, unless

525
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: you're just gonna be down, you know, down the middle, Sessler,

526
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: you gotta take some stance. Now you're gonna now you're

527
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: taking shots of people that you work with. Again, that's

528
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: one of those shows where the gloves are off between

529
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: Cessler and Rosenthal. Always. I don't find one of the

530
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: bullet points of my career here to be attacking and

531
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: destroying people. I know, I know John lynch uh is

532
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 1: that he would not be destroyed. But he I'm just

533
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: a little I'm a little thing. He flicks. Wait, I'm

534
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: nothing compared to these forty niners journals grilling Jed york

535
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: and and their coaches and like, that's that's part of

536
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 1: this there is that's fair. I have a couple of arts.

537
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: First of all, can br come back to us? Um?

538
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't like when because we work for the shield,

539
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: this idea that we don't even have names, just like

540
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: oh the NFL said this. It's like, no, put some

541
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 1: respect on the guy's name. It's Greg Rose. If you're

542
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: gonna use yeah, if you're gonna use his lines and

543
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna and you're gonna tee up Lynch to try

544
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: to bury Greg. At least put the guy's name in

545
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: the conversation, so you know, come back to us we are.

546
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: And uh, secondly, Greg, and that's the only question I

547
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: have from a journal angle. Would you have written that

548
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: the same way if you knew John Lynch was going

549
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: to write it? Read it? Yeah? Good question? That knocking

550
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: around the negotiating table that did you know? Cos me

551
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: pause at the second, but I thought it was tasty.

552
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think I would all right, good eight

553
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: o'clock to the light time. Yes, West, We'll start with

554
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: Connor Barwin, who lands with the Rams and who had

555
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: the break who had the breaking news. We had this

556
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: news before anyone because spice Rack texted me and said, hey, look,

557
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: Connor Barwin's about the sign with the Rams. Hey Wade

558
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: Phillips thinks he's a great human being. That's interesting. But

559
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: guess what still still doesn't get Melvil Gordon three more

560
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: yards and also doesn't get Spice Rack back on the show. Well,

561
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: I think spice Rack get back on the show. He

562
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: plugged in just saying no one decided to pull him

563
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: into this conversation. No actions were taken. All right, we'll

564
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: have to have a committee meeting to talk about this

565
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: because now there's mixed feelings. Guys. Breaking news, Brandon car

566
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: signs a four year deal with the Ravens. The former

567
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys player. Uh, this is a good football player, says

568
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: Ozzie Newsom. We got better today. Do you believe that, Greg?

569
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: I do, because they needed depth there and you're looking

570
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: at the secondary and they've now added Tony Jefferson, you

571
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: got wet All, you got Jimmy Smith. It's coming together.

572
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: The Jets have solved their problems at cornerback. More Morris Clayborne,

573
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: the former first round pick of the Cowboys, has signed

574
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: with a team for one year deal worth more than

575
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: five million. According to rap Sheep West, a former sixth

576
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: overall pick, that type of talent getting at this stage,

577
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: what a move. What a coup by Mike mccagny. I

578
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: think it's cool that you went from a cornerback who

579
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: played at two hur in thirty five pounds to a

580
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: cornerback who plays six games a year. That's that's one

581
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: way to look at it. I think it was a

582
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: Gangbusters move to borrow a check is um down Terry

583
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: Post signed somewhere, Greg filling the fill in the gaps

584
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: for Atlanta Falcons like this as a nice risk reward

585
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: move one year deal. They need help on the defensive line.

586
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: Thomas Debittroff said, we're kind of all set. We don't

587
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: have any huge pressing needs. I don't know that defensive

588
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: line is not that good. Polk and help him out.

589
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: Josh McCown also visiting the Jets. He said, initially the

590
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: onset of free energy, five or six teams were interested in.

591
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: I can't even keep track. Maybe the Jets are one

592
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: of them. Maybe maybe we don't know, but he would

593
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: be a nice tasty in the two and fourteen scam

594
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: for Sam where he's the starter, we get a whole

595
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: offseason and summer of Oh Josh McCowen man, he's you know,

596
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: he might not be the best player in the league.

597
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: But he's a great leader. He's gonna teach those guys

598
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: and he'll play some good book out for the year.

599
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: Week three probably what would happen. History tells us that

600
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: he's excellent and helping teams set up for the number

601
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: one pick. He's been poor guy, Get get Josh McCown.

602
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: Have these terrible teams, And finally ESPN has hired Rex Ryan.

603
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: According to reports, he signed a multi year contract. Appear

604
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday NFL count Down West. Where does this rank

605
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: on the most Predictable Things? Ever, it's like right behind

606
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: Rex Perkhead signing with the Patriots. That's what's happening in

607
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: the news. Josh McCown, by the way, the last three years,

608
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: two wins and it starts losses. At his age, life

609
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: is literally too short to waste away on a one

610
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: in fifteen team. But that's what he's been doing his

611
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: whole life. He likes it, go go find a winner.

612
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: He likes to play, get playing time and lose constantly.

613
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: That's his thing, that's his angle, that's his corner. We

614
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: all have to have an angle. Could anything pull you

615
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: back onto the Jets train this year? Oh? I'm on

616
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: the Jets train. Well, you're hoping that the train goes

617
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: right off the tracks into total darkness. Again, there's a

618
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: vast difference between you and I. Mark, Yes, I am

619
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: not off that my team's train. I am just taking

620
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: a macro viewpoint. I'm taking my lumps this year, and

621
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: I just want the organization to put themselves in a

622
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: better position for twenty teen and beyond. You can frame

623
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: it anyway you wish. I'm just being honest. I'm not saying,

624
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: oh I'm not. I don't even care anymore. And this

625
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: that's the market angle. I don't care. I never think

626
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: about the Browns. That's all bs, and we know it.

627
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: I think about the Jets a lot, and I well,

628
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: I think and think a big picture. When the Browns

629
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: come into my mind, I actively work to not think

630
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: about I actually worked to have that memory. Whatever I'm

631
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: thinking about, stop and think about something else, anything else.

632
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: It explains a lot um all right, before we get

633
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: into You're the GM said I just we need one

634
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: last but one last bit of breaking news. And then

635
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: this was this landed like a hammer on the news

636
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: desk this morning. The Great Sydney Carlson New Money La

637

Speaker 1: Sid not going to Disneyland this weekend, rather Disneylands chief

638
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: competitor Flags, Magic Mountain, Oh mar Own, what you can't

Speaker 1: you do that? Term? Should? I do not in any way? Everybody?

642
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: I do not, in any way use six Flags as

643
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: a competitor, said Judas, said Judas, No, I mean, please,

644
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: good where are you? Disney is disgustingly good at making money,

645
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: and I have given them more than I cared to.

646
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: But I think, like any great relationship, you know, you've

647
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 1: got to be free to live, hang out with other

648
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: friends from time to time. People, I'm not seeing other people.

649
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: I'm just hanging out with friends, or or Mickey could

650
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: look at it like she's growing up, like hey, I'm

651
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: kind of the fun. Like we're gonna go out, we're

652
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: gonna have a nice, clean time. And then there's those

653
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: renegades with the leather jacket and maybe a couple of pops.

654
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: Six Flags comes along, let's have some adult fun. Oh

655
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: that's say. I remember when when Christopher Robin got too

656
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: old to play with Winnie the Pooh just turn to

657
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: a really sad. Turn ship. It's me, Mickey. I have

658
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: a look at all for you. My heart is breaking. Dan,

659
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: don't bring Nicky and get a little cash in your pocket.

660
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: And this was what happens changed breaking news. Sydney Dating

661
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: Around breaks off an exclusive relationship with the fictional mouse,

662
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: moving on from the mouse to the woodpecker. I think

663
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: I think that's six Flags. I don't know. Looney Tunes, Yeah,

664

Speaker 1: Looney Tunes is. Actually they're in bed with Looney Tunes.

665
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,440

668
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: This is your bad boy face. Yeah, I suppose that's

669
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: what it would have to be, because the people there's

670
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 1: like there's a hierarchy of happiness, and the people who

671
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: work at Disneyland are distinctly more happy than the people

672
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: who work at six f or like an adventure Land

673
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: feel at sick. They're just kind of punching the clock. Yeah,

00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: this is this counts of the city's bad boy. A

675

Speaker 1: big news. All right, now it's time Sydney. You cannot

680
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: let the people Disney know that this happened. Oh I

681
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: don't plan to. Okay, it is time now to bring

682
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: it back. You're the GM and this is a game.

683
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: We um we we did it for the first time

684
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: last March, and we figured now with free agency really

685
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: died down and teams are now maybe starting to look

686
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: more towards the draft and and what pieces where they're

687
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: still holes as we start to head towards. Before you

688
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: know it, O t A is in about a month.

689
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: So is it a month or is it just work out?

690
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: That's all the same whatever. Teams are gonna start working

691
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: out next month. Uh, it's crazy how it works. But

692
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 1: here we go. They gotta start figuring out who's gonna

693
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: be on their team in two thousand and seventeen. So

694
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: the GMS Uswhilder first string quarterback, they all they all

695
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: talked to each other. They all talked to each other.

696
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: So we're gonna pull back the curtain and um, let

697
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: you know what, what it's like, And Mark, why don't

698
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: you get us going? You can tell us who you

699
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: are portraying, what GM, who you are calling, and let

700
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 1: us know which one of us will portray that other GM,

701
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: and then we'll let the listeners know, um what that

702
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: conversation entailed. All right, I will be playing Brown's executive

703
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: VP of operations. Listeners shaid know a year A year ago,

704
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: at this point, Sashi turned down a deal that would

705
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: have gotten a Matt Ryan. Oh yeah, this very over

706
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: some haggling between a first or a third round pick

707
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: and in retrospect thing you weren't right in a column

708
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: about him. In retrospect, Sashi might have just wanted to

709
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: go get that quarterback back. So Mark, as Sashi turned

710
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: down Matt Ryan moved down around. Now you have a

711
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: chance to redeem yourself and Sashi in a big spot.

712
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: I am calling up the Patriots for one very obvious reason.

713
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: We're not gonna let this happen again. So let's dial

714
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: up the Massachusetts area code and speak to Bill Belichick

715
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:37,440

Speaker 1: What's going on in Cleveland? You seem a little distracted,

750
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: and maybe that explains that awful trade offer. I have

751
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,800

752

754
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: bad at your job. Sashi and I you know, I

755
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: think you should take what I I say too hard

756
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: because I'm quite respected in these circles and you're completely overmatched.

757
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: It feels that way at this point in the conversation.

758
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: Can we get Jimmy g away from you for anything?

759
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: It has to happen. You understand the Browns? Where what's

760
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: your starting point? I do understand the Browns. The Browns

761
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: fired me, The Browns embarrassed me, and I will never

762
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: ever do anything to help them, never a turn for

763
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: the worst. That did not terrible, terrible. It's a bad saation.

764
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: I thought Austin Pastor would have put it over the top.

765
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: But that's what I was thinking something. There's a lot

766
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: of alignment to deal with there would he to do

767
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,919
Speaker 1: with that? I kind of yeah, I wonder. I wonder

768
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: if Sashi was on any mind expanding agents before he

769
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: made that phone call. It feels possible. All right, West,

770
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: you're up. I am Titans G M John Robinson and

771
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:27,440

00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: Robbie here. Put your shirt on for this one. I'm excited.

773
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: Everything in Seattle is exciting. Look word around the campfire

774
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: here in GM circles, is that you are willing to

775
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: trade that na'er do well Richard Sherman, who spends most

776
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: of his time undermining the coaching staff, threatening to ruin

777
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: reporters careers, and yelling at his teammates. If if the

778
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: price is right, I hear he's available. Look, we've got

779
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: two first round picks. I'm willing to give you the

780
00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 1: eighteen and a conditional fourth round in two thousand eighteen

781
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: for Richard Sherman. We need a shutdown corner here in Tennessee.

782
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,439
Speaker 1: Why why why are you trying to downplay our guy

783
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: as you're trying to trade for him. Why are you

784
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: trying to trade for him if you think everybody knows,

785
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: everybody knows? Why on the market he's a pain in

786
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: your ass right now? What? What are what are the

787
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: conditions you just say, conditional fourth round pick? I want

788
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: to know these conditions if if we go to the playoffs,

789
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: it moves up to a third Oh, it's interesting. M hmm.

790
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: There's just like a peanut gallery on the line. Nice,

791
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: nice move. I like it. I'm gonna need more for

792
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: that because I gotta tell you, Richard Sherman still a

793
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: great cornerback. He's a big personality. That's kind of how

794
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: we roll. I gotta I gotta admit I get a

795
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: little board around here. Sometimes. I kind of like seeing

796
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: Pete go after these players, big personalities, Like that's what

797
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: we do. We're a zoo. The number eighteen pick for

798
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: a top top ten pick, top twenty pick in the draft,

799
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: no top ten cornerback. I'm gonna upgrade the conditional to

800
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: a conditional third render that can go to a second

801
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: if we make the playoffs. And look, you might think

802
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: we're a cute little operation down here in Nashville. We're

803
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: a team on the rise. You better respect us. We're

804
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,439
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs. Is this a threat, John, Rob

805
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: Is this a thread John to another. I've been in

806
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: this business for a while. You just kind of came

807
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: in as a GM. You see those pictures of me

808
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: in the locker room with the shirt off. You only

809
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 1: do that when you win titles. I'm keeping Richard Sherman

810
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: forget this. I thought that, like copping, it's the last

811
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: time I call Greg and a fake conversation. Greg surprisingly

812
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: hard to negotiate with. On the trade. Richard Sherman worth

813
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 1: a little more than that what was the trade again,

814
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: I got a little caught up in the first number,

815
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: eighteen overall pick and the third round I can get

816
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: up to a second. I would have taken what year

817
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: old corner making eleven million a year A good deal. Honestly,

818
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: you don't think that's a tasty deal at all. I

819
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,959
Speaker 1: feel like you guys could have I would have taken

820
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: that deal. This he told me to respect him. It

821
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: was kind of similar, similar to what happened last year

822
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: when I listened to this podcast again, feelings got in

823
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: the way. He told me to respect him. I was.

824
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: I was kind of leaning towards taking it, and then thought,

825
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: who's this John Robinson guy? You know he only gets

826
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: hired because, uh, you know, ownership can't find anyone better.

827
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: That was based on Michael Lombardi said in The Ringer

828
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: this week that that the Seahawks are willing to trade

829
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman. Interesting. All right, Next up, wes Um, this

830
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: is something you've always wanted to do. He's gonna come

831
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: back into the picture. Now you'll be playing Bill Belichick

832
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: and you are getting a phone call from none other

833
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: than Big Mac. It's gonna be on an answer bello

834
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: Chick here, Bill, I got you. Yeah, I mean Big Mac,

835
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: the mac man, Mike mccagman. Who please, who are you?

836
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm another general manager in your division. I'm employed by

837
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, your former team. I mean I

838
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: was with him for five minutes. Literally, wait a second, Bill,

839
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: do you really forget that you were the offense of

840
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator in m Come back to us, Bill, ever,

841
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: come back to you, literally, please come back to us.

842
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: All right, Big Mac here, you know who this is.

843
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: You know this is all right? Here we go and

844
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm being dead series. I know, I know, I know,

845
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: I know you would never trade Jimmy G to a

846
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: Well I was gonna say rival, but you don't view

847
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: the Jets as arrival. Let's be honest. For for twenty

848
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 1: years you've been getting the upper hand on the Jets,

849
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: um and I know that right now. What are the problems?

850
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons why you have

851
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: not traded Jimmy G to that bump Sashi. First of all,

852
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: he's a total lothario. Cannot focus on anything. I heard

853
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: about the phone call you got where he offered an

854
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: entire offensive line while he was in the middle of

855
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: a Koita session. That was weird. The whole league's talking

856
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: about it. So you don't want to do business of

857
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: that guy, and I get that, so let me. I'll

858
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: never talk to Sashi again after that bizarre phone call.

859
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,959
Speaker 1: I mean, Cleveland has never been in a worse spot

860
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: than they are right now. So you were like, bros,

861
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 1: we can wrap big Mac here, Big Mac in the

862
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: Big Bay and I only rap on snap face. All right,

863
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: So Bill, and you're gonna think this as a joke,

864
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: but think about your long term future with the team.

865
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: You know, Tommy boy has got another five years and

866
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: I want Jimmy g I want him. I want to

867
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: swoop in. No one thinks that you would trade him.

868
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 1: What's the thing that the Patriots do. They do things

869
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: people don't expect. Trade me, Jimmy Gane. This would all

870
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: give you and and don't snicker. Take this seriously. You

871
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: could choose literally any player currently on my roster. That's

872
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 1: that's the starting point. That's the starting point. I've seen

873
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: your roster. You can don't laugh at me. Yeah, Levin, Levin,

874
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: try to pry away and have fourte from you. Um listen,

875
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm talking. You know you can get more workers and

876
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: motivated Leonard Williams. Hello, you know you could do damage

877
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: with Leonard Williams. Darren Leaves a great young linebacker. I

878
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: got some skill. I got some skill on this on

879
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 1: this team anyway. So that's just the starting point any player.

880
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: Let's make him winner Williams. All right, Letty Williams the

881
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: first round pick two thousand seventeen, two thousand eighteen, and

882
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: a conventional third round pick in two thousand nineteen that

883
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: becomes a first round pick if the Jets reach the

884
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: conference title game in the next two years, and you

885
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 1: send me your backup quarterback that you don't even plan

886
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: to play for the next three to five years. First

887
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: of all, your instincts are correct. I don't see you

888
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 1: as a arrival. I never have. That hurts my feelings,

889
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: but go on. Uh but here's the deal. If I

890
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: trade Jimmy Garoppolo to you, we view him as a

891
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: future superstar. That's when I'll start viewing you as a rival.

892
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: And I have traded Drew Bledsoe with him my division

893
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: because I knew he was washed up. Look, we had

894
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: him here. He's a fine guy, makes a great wine,

895
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,959
Speaker 1: but he was done and I knew it. I wasn't

896
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: afraid of him. I am afraid if Jimmy goes there,

897
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: the Jets Tom Brady could go down, and all of

898
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, the balance of power ships in that division

899
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: to the team that does have a quarterback. It is

900
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: a It is the most tempting offer I've gotten, certainly

901
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: more tempting than the one for seventeen offensive lineman. And

902
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: it is a very fair, fair offer. And I have

903
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: much more respect for you as as a man and

904
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: general manager. I will no longer act like you're not

905
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: even in my division anymore. But I can't. I can't

906
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: take the deal. I can't. I can't prop up the

907
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: Jets as a franchise with an actual quarterback. Bill and

908
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: all that I appreciate, but I have to tell you,

909
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,480

00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: might take that. That was a good deal. Now we're

914
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: trying to win super Bowls, not collect first round picks. Okay,

921
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: We're just a couple of football guys. I'm back in

922
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: the league. Are you making the calls out of your organization?

923
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: What's sort of chaos raveling in your on your team?

924
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: A break? I'll tell you why did I start here?

925
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: I got old? I got old called well, you know,

926
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: go go look at some rookie quarterbacks, buddy. You know,

927
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: I'll be sure to read the report you write up

928
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: project called Well. These guys are crazy over here. I

929
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: came down here. These guys think Blake Bortles is it

930
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: Blake boards nice quarterback? We gotta win this game that

931
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: they think they've won some super Bowls around here. They

932
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: haven't won five more than five games since two thousand

933
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: and eleven. You know how hard that is to do

934
00:53:58,520 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's how it was when I got

935
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: here before I turned everything around Tom Coughlin. Tom Coughlin

936
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: doesn't mess around with five and eleven. And so I've

937
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: got a deal for you. I think you're gonna want

938
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: to listen to this. Unroll it. Carson Palmer's he's at

939
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: the end of the line thinking about retiring. That's your opinion.

940
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: He was thinking about what people said about you. He

941
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: was thinking about retiring. Larry Fitzgerald, I was thinking about retiring.

942
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: You're you're in a pickle. I just was watching the

943
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: old NFL network. One of the best guys out there,

944
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: Chris Wesling, says, your window is closed. Kimie. You've got

945
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: a rough off season, this Germaine greshroom contract. It's time

946
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: to reload. You got some nice young talent. Give away

947
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: trade away a couple of guys at the end of

948
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: the line. Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald's short term solutions.

949
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll do for you. I'll send you back

950
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, just so you have someone I know. I

951
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: know Bruce. He's great with the big armed young quarterbacks.

952
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:02,720
Speaker 1: I'll send you Blake Bortles. I'll send you Alan Hearns,

953
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 1: nice young wide receiver, he's a guy who's gonna be

954
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: around for a little while. And I'll give you a

955
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: second round pick in this year's draft. Two, you're trading

956
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 1: me two guys who aren't even gonna be in the NFL.

957
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: I can't stand this whole five win nonsense with Blake

958
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 1: Bortles this year. There's no chance we're gonna win games.

959
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: You help me out right now. I'm getting old. I

960
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: can't wait around you reek of desperation. Uh com machine,

961
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: don't play that. I don't know who this Chris guy

962
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 1: is from a football website either. Are you coming out

963
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: with a very bizarre argument. You're gonna tell me that

964
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: you're essentially trading me Alan Hearns and a nonfunctional quarterback

965
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: for a Hall of Fame receiver. And you don't You

966
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: don't listen very well to what Bruce arians said a

967
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: few years ago that Carson Palmer can play deep into

968
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: his thirties, maybe even longer. You guys think he's done

969
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: after this season. Nice try, buddy. You gotta sweet in

970
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: the pot. You're gonna give me your biggest problem. That's

971
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: the trade you're coming up with Blake Bortles. Then what

972
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: do I do? How do I sell that to the

973
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: people in Arizona. I think your medications. You know the

974
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: kind of colliding you can you can go on a

975
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,959
Speaker 1: little soup you over there. This guy Palmer, you didn't

976
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: even know if he was gonna play anymore in the

977
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: middle of January. You gotta start thinking about the future.

978
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: All Right, I'll tell you what you got. I'll change

979
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 1: you got two more minutes with me. I'll change it up,

980
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,919
Speaker 1: change up your Allan's I'll give you Allen Robinson. I'll

981
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: bump up that draft pick up to a first round pick.

982
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: You're leaving me with no quarterback. You give me a

983
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 1: first round draft pick? Giving you a first round pick.

984
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: You guys got a lot of young talent there. You're

985
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,479
Speaker 1: not winning with this Palmer Fitzgerald thing. I gotta win

986
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: this guy shot Conn. He wants the movie. Where are

987
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: you picking this year in the draft? What number you

988
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm a pie? Oh you should probably know offhand. But

989
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: if you don't that that leaves only more concerned. I

990
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 1: mean the top five. Baby, you're giving me this year's

991
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,879
Speaker 1: first round pick. You're giving me Allen Robinson Dan Blake

992
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: Bortles for these two players. Deal done? Baby? Wow? Wow,

993
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 1: we got a deal. Wow, A crazy to take that

994
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: deal when he's sweetened the pot with the first round

995
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: this year's first round or Jacksonville picks. Where I think there,

996
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: I think you just I think you just had the

997
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: time of your life in a big spot's just got

998
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: fired advantage of old Tommy boy. If you believe, if

999
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: you believe internally, if you're Arizona, you say, I think

1000
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: we maxed out with this roster, getting rid of Fits

1001
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: and Carson who aren't gonna be there next year. And

1002
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: now you just you know, Bordles, it's a project. Obviously,

1003
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: Robinson's a number one wide receiver potentially, and you got

1004
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: a first round pick, and you trust your draft process

1005
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: had a shaky draft last year, if I don't uh

1006
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: it was, but you got David Johnson the third round

1007
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: the year before, Like what I did there was the

1008
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: second round was a second time Drives a hard bargain.

1009
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: Time did a nice job. Tom is desperate. You know

1010
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: who should get Steve Come? The Browns had trade all

1011
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: those draft assets to get Steve Come. Well, you know,

1012
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: as someone who supports Sashi Brown, I don't feel I

1013
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: did in any favors with this this segment. But maybe

1014
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: he'll return a quick one before before we go around. Um, uh, Greg,

1015

1020
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,800

1021
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: I can come over. I got a cotton candy machine.

1022
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:08,200

00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: are and fine fine hands? Something about that Ballard? And

1024
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't put my finger on it. Alright,

1025
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: one more time around the horn? Now, alright, Mark, you're up.

1026
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: I am Saints something or other. Mickey loomis dialing up

1027
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: Ted Thompson is played by Christopher Westling Thompson. Here three rings, guys.

1028
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: Mickey Loomis from down to New Orleans. How are you Pelican?

1029
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: I got a lot in my mind, my mom, I'm

1030
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: I got a lot going on. I got I'm trying

1031
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: to juggle two teams here I can have you won

1032
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: a game since you traded for Bookie, I don't know

1033
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: our record. I'm not I gotta make a deal. There's

1034
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on me. Sean Payton is trying

1035
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: to get Malcolm Butler. He's gonna over sell for that

1036
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: I need. He told me we got to get this defense,

1037
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: which has been historically awful. I haven't thought about the

1038
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: Saints defense since I'm not kidding you two thousand ten,

1039
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: I have not thought about them once. Defense and thinking.

1040
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: I got too much going on in the mind. New

1041
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: Orleans is a crazy town to try to have a

1042
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: full time job, and I think you can understand where

1043
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm coming from. Ted, I gotta do a deal. Will

1044
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: you listen? At least I'm here for you. I know

1045
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: you don't like offseason maneuvering, but this could do. This

1046
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: could be good for you too. They're calling you inactive

1047
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: that you just go to sleep in March. Here we go.

1048
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you running back mark Ingram. You need

1049
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: a running back. You just lost Eddie Lacy. I'm gonna

1050
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: give you New Orleans Pelicans point guard Drew Holiday and

1051
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: power forward Anthony Davis four in return Clay Matthews Packers

1052
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: game Day broadcaster Wayne Laer iView. We have a hope.

1053
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: We have a hole there and the guy knows basketball

1054
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,200

1055
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: guy too. What do you say they have light teddy there.

Speaker 1: I can maybe get him back on my roster. Please.

1167
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:04,320

01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: loss for words right now, sugar Bear looks at e J.

1169
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 1: Manuel is a sunken cost for the team out of

1170
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: Western New York. Sugar basses the team out of Western

1171
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: New York is being a problematic situation with EJ. Manuel.

1172

1177
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: Just leave him alone? Just leave him alone. This is

1178
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:41,479

Speaker 1: So I just want to read. I'll leave the name up,

1205
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: but I want to read what she had to say.

1206
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: Here it goes Hey, Mark, good afternoon. I just wanted

1207
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 1: to follow up on our chat from last night. I'm

1208
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: still confused and slightly hurt that Greg simply shrugged off

1209
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,599
Speaker 1: the many workers who toil endlessly to make the NFL's

1210
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: collection of podcasts a positive experience for all. Has he

1211
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: followed up with you at all about why he found

1212
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 1: it acceptable to dismiss the people he works with for

1213
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:05,760
Speaker 1: his own gains. Just wondering if he's debriefed with you

1214
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: at all about his behavior as he given a logical

1215
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 1: reason for his decision making. I have to be honest, Colin,

1216
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 1: I feel a little hurt about his response to to

1217
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: our invite to gather with people who spend most of

1218
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: the time promoting his work and accomplishments at NFL Network.

1219
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: I know he's at work because I saw him walking

1220
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 1: by himself toward the Huddle, which is our restaurant here.

1221
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: Earlier in the day. He had to walk upstairs on

1222
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 1: the other side of the patio because they are still

1223
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: working on the new wall decorations, the one with a

1224
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 1: variety of NFL football players. I then saw him walking

1225
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: past the giant image of NFL Networks Dan Helly, and

1226
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,560
Speaker 1: maybe Greg thinks that our workplace should have made it

1227
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: a massive image of him instead of Dan Helly. But

1228
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: do you think Dan Helly would have just blown off

1229
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:46,440
Speaker 1: the people who worked daily to promote his career at workplace.

1230
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think Dan Helly would show

1231
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: even a thumbnail of respect for his fellow workers, which

1232
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: is more than Greg's showed to us last night. Even

1233
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: the last evening. The bar was also very close to work.

1234
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: He could have stopped by for like five minutes and

1235
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 1: all of this would have been a different situation. Has

1236
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 1: Greg said anything to you about his thought process? I

1237
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 1: know this goes on and on. By the way, I

1238
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: know that Sidney was also upset because she wouldn't say

1239
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,720
Speaker 1: anything because she's too nice that you know she's She's

1240
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: very nice. I should let you know that Sidney was

1241
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 1: crying in the women's restroom towards the end of the night.

1242
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 1: It was very nice of you and Dan and West

1243
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: to show up, but I can't figure out why Greg

1244
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: chose not to. Has he made it clear to you

1245
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: why he didn't want to be a part of the

1246
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: group gathering. It's been on my mind since I raised

1247
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: the issue to you last night near the front door

1248
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: of the bar. I like to speak my mind, and

1249
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: this is definitely still an issue to me. Just wondering

1250
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: if Greg might have unpacked his decision to ignore us all,

1251
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been hard to stop by even quickly,

1252
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: but instead he has hurt my feelings. I think I

1253
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: have a right to express myself and tell you how

1254
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 1: I feel, and I hope that Greg will share with

1255
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: you why he's done this, Like, for instance, what do

1256
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 1: you think he was thinking when he decided to drive

1257
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 1: right past the bar to go do something else. It

1258
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been that hard to park his car and

1259
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: walk inside the bar for a minute or two, but

1260
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 1: he kept driving into scar instead right back to his home.

1261
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: I presume I'm still thinking about this today and wanted

1262
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: to bring the issue back up with you in case

1263
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 1: Greg has made it clear to you or others why

1264
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,680
Speaker 1: he chose to bypass last night's event in order to

1265
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,719
Speaker 1: tend to his own needs and responsibilities. I am somewhat

1266
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,680
Speaker 1: concerned about his choices, but I'm also still filling in

1267
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: the blanks about what he's done and what it means

1268
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 1: for me and the rest of our company. Thank you.

1269
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 1: Let me know if he says anything between now and

1270
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: when you leave work today about this very concerning choice

1271
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: of his. I'll leave the name at the end off,

1272
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:34,719
Speaker 1: but I mean, certainly a long winded letter but she's,

1273
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, she's a young lady in search of answers,

1274
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: and she really wants to know has Greg's said anything

1275
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 1: to you? Mark, As he explained, I think we got

1276
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 1: Greg's complete response earlier in the show. He could care

1277
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:50,759
Speaker 1: less two thousand words. They're boiled down into one sentence.

1278
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:55,759
Speaker 1: Why have you betrayed us? That's basically it. And Greg

1279
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 1: refuses to give an answer, So we'll let the you know,

1280
01:14:57,760 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 1: we'll leave it right there.
