1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Da Around the NFL Podcast would win a pickup game

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: against Daniel Jeremiah. Welcome back to another edition of the

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis, and

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: I am joined by a room film with heroes Mark Sessler,

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal. What's up boys, Hey Dan,

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: it's actually speaking of DJ. He was up here in

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: the studio when we got upstairs. Of course, he was

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: a guest on Friday show, and I think he might

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: have taken my advice. I think he might have started

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: a podcast here. Sounded like it. So if that's the case,

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: everybody look into it. If Dan has a show, he's

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 1: leveraging our appearance into his own endeavor. Best of luck

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: to Daniels Eremiah. I missed this showdown between DJ and

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: the rest of you, so some good feedback. People enjoyed it.

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't It was kind of uh, a one on

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: one battle with Greg laughing like a jackal every time

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: DJ put down my appearance. I gotta check this out.

18
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: Kind of a lot of reveal mcnifico a little bit,

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: and and I shared with Greg. I said, there's a

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: thing where I you know, where I come from, the

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: coldtown it's called home team that he doesn't want You

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: didn't want me laughing at DJs. It was all it

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: was about the type of laughing that you were doing,

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: and it was like, remember what team we're on. We're

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: all on the same team here. You can't just jump

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: around and defect. To be fair to Greg, I think

27
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: I was probably laughing just as hard. Trust me, Trust me,

28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: I could pick up things. Sounds it's good natured from

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: West Colleen, A little on the fence. Greg very clear

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: as a mercenary in this. I mean, his whole bit

31
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: was kind of a you know, fantastic, you know, absurd bit.

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: So I didn't even know laughing hard at something so

33
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: absurd there would be no offense to be taken from that.

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: It was like absurd, Like Greg is always picking up

35
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: the pieces socially after, you know, completely destroying someone without

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: trying to. That's also why I'm not like mad at

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: Greg was upset that I was mad after the show

38
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: and even sent like a text later on like hey,

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: that was a fun show, all kidding aside, just to

40
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: see if I was mad at him. But I know

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: that I know that Greg. You know, sometimes in these

42
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: social situations he can get on people's radar. And I've

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: learned that. And I love Greg matter because I don't

44
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't pussy foot around as much as

45
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: you guys. That must be in the way to diagnoseig um.

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was back in my cold town. We

47
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: had a little thing called busting Balls. You know, don't

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: get me started in your cold town with gorgeous views

49
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: of the Atlantic, you know, Yeah, that's western Massachusetts for you.

50
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: All right, cow farms. All kidding aside, great show today

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: and big news because today's show around the NFL podcast

52
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: is driven people by Hyundai. Uh, this is a little awkward.

53
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: I would say we were aware that there was a

54
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: new sponsor coming into the fold in April, but as

55
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: things happen in the world west sometimes you you know,

56
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: you forget when when the month changes over. And we

57
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: would have loved to talk to Mr Flame about this first,

58
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you, Well, that was the plan.

59
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: This is a major surprise to him. So Mark, I

60
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: know you're extremely almost oddly close to Mr Flame, the

61
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: great Mr f If you could reach out to him,

62
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: maybe we can oddly what I mean, you know again,

63
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think we have to reach out to him.

64
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: Here's what I do know that over the last whatever

65
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: it was, how many months did he operated him in

66
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: his high school class in the Hague the Netherlands, operated

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: it at our sponsor, many lunches, many gifts, many things

68
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: coming directly to the four of us and also to Sydney.

69
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: What is Hyundai going to give us? Somebody took you know,

70
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: on your your car tires, the little plastic piece where

71
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: you inflate attire, someone took them off my car. If

72
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: they send me four of those little plastic pieces, I'm

73
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: not saying you have to, but as a gesture of

74
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: goodwill to get this relationship going, for those little plastic

75
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: things would be great. So welcome aboard Hundai. Um you have.

76
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: We're happy that you're driving us. According to the copy.

77
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: Now today's show a great one, and Mark, reach out

78
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: to your very very close friend, Mr F and maybe

79
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: we can broker some type of what is the What

80
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: is your issue with the fact that I'm friends with

81
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: Mr F? Not an issue, It's just an observation that

82
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: you've become more than passing like email buddies. It's a

83
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: little more yes or no. Your fond is a little

84
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: more personal than the rest of us. This is I

85
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to see your research on this, but I'd

86
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: say that I consider him a genuine friend. Yeah Facebook friends,

87
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: we you know, a genuine wish him. Well, So that's

88
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm hitting at. And now you're painting it

89
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: like any friendship between two people where there's any level

90
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: of depth to it, there's something obviously wrong and involved.

91
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: It must just be we. I must be using him

92
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: for some reason or vice versaity, like he's just a

93
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: good guy. By now. This is kind of digging into

94
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: your own head right now, that is what it feels

95
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: like a little bit, you know, take it down a notch. Dan, alright, alright,

96
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: so you are you are? Just can you at least

97
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: reach out to him? That's all I would be happy to.

98
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Today's show will feature a breakdown of hard Knocks. How

99
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: about that hard knocks? Uh? There's some news today that

100
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: HBO and NFL films. Uh, they have I guess re

101
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: up their contract or commitment with each other. So not

102
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: that it was something that was hanging in the balance

103
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: or hanging in the air. We all expected another season

104
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: to arrive this summer, but we will be getting and

105
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: then that gives this opportunity to jump off and talk

106
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: about some teams we'd like to see. Uh in I

107
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: believe is the what is the twelfth season of the

108
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: groundbreaking HBO documentary series. So we'll go through that. We'll

109
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: nominate teams. Awesome fun with it. That's what we do

110
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: around here. We have funds Hyundai. I've been reminded not

111
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: una hund like Sunday. Everybody know that. All right, we

112
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: do now, all right, and uh, maybe we'll have a

113
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: special guest at the end of the show. We'll see

114
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: if it works out. But let's get to some news folks,

115
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: get to that a little bit later to uh. We'll

116
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: start though with the Dallas Cowboys and the Tony Romo

117
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: Romo saga um and what appears to be the next

118
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: step in Romo disconnecting with the Cowboys permanently. Cowboys owner

119
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones has reached out to all thirty two NFL

120
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: teams letting them know that uh quote, they are permitted

121
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: to contact Tony Romo or his agent to schedule a workout,

122
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: visit or physical This according to NFL Networks Mike Garafolo.

123
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: Uh Garfolo noted Monday that talks are to be limited

124
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: to conversations concerning Romo's two thousand, seventeen to nineteen NFL

125
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: player contract. I'm sure that would be honored. Chris WESTLINGH,

126
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: can you tell me, uh in your what does this

127
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: mean to you? Are we getting closer to finally Romo

128
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: being at a Dallas or is this just going to

129
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: continue to drag on? I like the way you phrase that,

130
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: what does it mean to me? Because to everyone else

131
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: it means last ditch attempt at a trade before workouts start.

132
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: To me, not usually part of the tinfoil hat brigade here,

133
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: but Jerry Jones has made comments in the past that

134
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: he likes he likes soap opers to extend throughout an

135
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: offseason because the attention it gives the NFL. I mean,

136
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: it's not a coincidence this is this news is released

137
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: on opening day for baseball. He's dragging He is dragging

138
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: out this Tony Romo saga for all of March because

139
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: it's good for the NFL to to make news during

140
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: baseball's time of year, and Jerry is most people know this,

141
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: but Jones is probably the most influential owner in the NFL.

142
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: So West his theory here that he's he's working to

143
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: juice the NFL. Makes sense because he's basically one step

144
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: below the commissioner. He there's some showmanship to Jerry Jones.

145
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: He appreciates, uh, you know, dragging things out, getting more

146
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: interest in it, you know. So why he moved the

147
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Raiders to Vegas, he moved the Rams to Los Angeles,

148
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: he just I mean he was. He was instrumental in

149
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: getting the other owners to agree that Vegas would be

150
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: good for the NFL. I I really don't think he

151
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: wants anything to do with this whole thing about a

152
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: good guy packed with Romo that you let him off

153
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: your roster and he floats downstate to Houston. I really

154
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: don't think Jerry Jones wants Tony Romo to go to

155
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: a super Bowl level defense in Houston and get them

156
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: deep into the playoffs. It's taking the attention in a

157
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: state you dominate to a completely different place, right, I agree.

158
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: And so it's just exhausting every possible avenue to find

159
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: a different outcome than him landing on the Texans. I

160
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: don't really see why any team that would be interested

161
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: in Romo would change their minds in any way because

162
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: they could schedule a workout with them, Like no one

163
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: was really looking to trade him before, why would they

164
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: be now? And what's the difference? One question about And

165
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: now we're hearing that the Broncos aren't really in and

166
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: it's almost like Texans or bust. I have a real

167
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: issue with that in the sense that why does if

168
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: Elway likes Baxton Lynch and Trevor Simeon, why does that

169
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: mean that precludes the Broncos from getting Tony Romo, who

170
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: is at best, let's face it, a two year patch

171
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: and maybe far less than that. Why can't they continue

172
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: to develop those two guys if you like them, and

173
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: also get Tony Romo and see how it works out.

174
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: I think they could if the price was right. Yeah.

175
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: I think always shown the past couple of years that

176
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: he wants a core her back at his price. He

177
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: did it with Kaepernick. Kaepernick refused to pay cut. He

178
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't pay what the Texans were paying for us while

179
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: er either. And it makes sense for him to put

180
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: it out there that they're not really that interested because

181
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: he's not in a trade and he kind of sees

182
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: a situation where it sure looks like Houston cleared the

183
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: decks for Romo, and that Romo wants to play for Houston,

184
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: so he's not gonna let it out there. Now a

185
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: situation happened where suddenly Romo was sitting out there and

186
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: maybe his price went down. I found this interesting, though,

187
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: the most important part of this news to me is

188
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: that I think Tony Romo is planning to play football,

189
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: because Jerry Jones said he met with Romo last week

190
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: and he was going to meet with him soon after

191
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: the owners meeting. Then this news comes out. I I

192
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: think it's safe to assume that Tony Romo and his

193
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: representatives are We're on board with whatever this news is.

194
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: And to me that that sounds like a guy who's

195
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: trying to take the steps to play football, not to

196
00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: not to announce moving forward. Adrian Peterson still out there.

197
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: The only team he's connected to right now is the

198
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: San Diego Graybeards, but he did meet with the New

199
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: England Patriots on Monday. Rap Sheet reported uh it was

200
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: the veteran running back second free agent visit of the offseason,

201
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: following a meeting with the Seattle Seahawks last month. He

202
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: left UH the Patriot Way without a deal. According to

203
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: Peter Schreeger of good Morning football. But that doesn't mean, uh, Mark,

204
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: that a deal won't get done with the Pats. Uh

205
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: do you think that would be a good fit. Let's

206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: start there, Patriots Adrian Peterson. I think it's one of

207
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: the few teams that seem like it would be a fit.

208
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: And I mean West has been talking about that link

209
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: for for months and it makes some sense. I I

210
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: think a visit like this didn't need to end in

211
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: assigning to be the only way that you get maybe

212
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: you know you're they're doing their homework. The Patriots do

213
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: care about the person too, And if you look back,

214
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: Tom Kerr and your boy Greg wrote an article where

215
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: he included some of the comments that Jonathan Craft made

216
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: about Adrian Peterson when the old child abuse thing went down,

217
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: whatever work we want to call that, and he called

218
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: it unacceptable and abhorrance. So that's two years ago, and

219
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people have come around to Adrian Peterson's

220
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: version of all that to some degree, others have not.

221
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: I think that is a factor, even though it's not

222
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: as much of a hot button issue as it would

223
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: have been right after it happened. But they they you're

224
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: signing up for the person. They don't want Joe Mixon,

225
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: for instance, They're not interested in him, so they do.

226
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: It's not just take anyone no matter what they represent

227
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: off the field. Tom Current, you mentioned that article. I

228
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: mean his theory is they're just doing a solid to

229
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: Peterson's agent. That's it. Ben Dogger is coming off bend aggress.

230
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: His agent used to be one of, if not the

231
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: most powerful agents, uh in the entire NFL. He's coming

232
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: off a suspension. Meanwhile, his biggest client can't get a job. Uh,

233
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: and you know they they're helping him out and they're

234
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: getting some information, you know. Jeff Jeff Howard Boston Harold

235
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: also reported they weren't comfortable enough to you know, make

236
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: They didn't make any offer during this trip. So I

237
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: think that speaks a lot that that's a that's a

238
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. I can buy that. There's a part B

239
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: to that theory too, that they're also sending a message

240
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: to the Garrett Blunt. Lower your you're asking price and

241
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: we'll bring in Peterson. Moving on, Hey, remember West, Remember

242
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: Mark Davis Bryant, I do that, dude. Well, he's in

243
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: the news, appearing on Thursday's edition of Up to the

244
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: Minute Live program. We will be on Monday, a little

245
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: late in the game for you to listen to watch that,

246
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: but hopefully later in the week as well. We we

247
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: are I think it's what it's two to three every day.

248
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: You know, you can always find these clips on NFL

249
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: do Anyway. Rap Sheet was on that program and said

250
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: that the suspended Steelers wide receiver believes he will soon

251
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: be returning to Pittsburgh. Here's what Rapport had to say

252
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: or report. When you speak to people close to him,

253
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: they are confident that in the near future he will

254
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: get word that he has been reinstated by reinstated to

255
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: the NFL. Chris, wasn't you wrote this piece up on

256
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: around the NFL? Remind people, Uh, I don't know why

257
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking like this. Slow down a little bit, Chris.

258
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Can you remind people why mart Tavis Bryant uh is

259
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: such a special player. He's nicknamed the Alien because there's

260
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: no one else like him in the NFL. He's got

261
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: some Raindey Moss qualities to him as a six ft

262
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: four guy who runs you know probably right around a

263
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: four four forty can leap out of the building and

264
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: make spectacular catches like he did with that one that

265
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: was through his legs. Um, everything's changed in the last month.

266
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler tweeted out this quote from Kevin Quilbert on

267
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: March first, Mark right here, marcoun Mark Tavis was a

268
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: great asset, asset to us when he was available. That

269
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: was just four weeks ago. And now add Kinkabala reports

270
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: that the Steelers expect him for the start of offseason workouts. Well,

271
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: the phrasing was legitimate April, so they expect in the

272
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks for Roger Goodell to reinstate Martavis.

273
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: Bryant quite a weapon. I mean, we talked about the

274
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: a f C has been top heavy in terms of

275
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: having one or two teams you can take seriously for me,

276
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: at least Steelers are always one of those teams. And

277
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: when you add that element back into an offense that

278
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: also has Antonio Brown and Levy on Bell and big Ben,

279
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: big Ben actually returns next he's going to say, like, yeah,

280
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: big Ben, we believe you might retire. Maybe Ladarius Green

281
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: whose battle concussion is but he plans on plane and

282
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: the few games he played last year he was a

283
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: great fit for that well, and they couldn't replace Bryant.

284
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: You know, you wouldn't have thought losing your number two receiver,

285
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: I'll be you know, maybe the best number two receiver

286
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: in the league would be that devastating. But that spot

287
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: ended up being uh, a gaping hole of drops and

288
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: injuries and just out of sync plays by Sammy Coates

289
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: and Mark Sweeten and they never really found him, but

290
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: they did find a slot receiver, Eli Rogers, so suddenly

291
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: put Brian back there, and that's the best looking offense

292
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: in in the league. Along with the Patriots moving on,

293
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings have some more. Teddy Bridgewater Insurance Minnesota agreed

294
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: to terms with former Rams quarterback case Keenum a one year,

295
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: two million dollar deal. Uh. Mike Garifolo reported, Uh, Bradford,

296
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford is going to be the starter. He's locked

297
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: in there. Uh. He has another year left on his deal,

298
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: I believe. But Teddy Bridgewater, who suffered that devastating freak

299
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: knee injury last summer, Uh, it is no guarantee that

300
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: he'll be back next year or back at all. So

301
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: we'll see he's he's I think he posted a video

302
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: with some progress on social media last week, but it

303
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: was a devastating injury for Bridgewater. Greg now case Keena

304
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: enters as the backup, what are your thoughts just that

305
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: they're not counting on Bridgewater and how could they? But this,

306
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: this I think drives the point home that they wanted it.

307
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: Not only did they want obviously you're gonna have a

308
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, but they wanted someone with experience. I mean,

309
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: they wanted what they would consider a real backup quarterback

310
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: because they have no idea Teddy Bridgewater is gonna play,

311
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer said last week when asked about Bridgewater ever

312
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: playing again. He said, I honestly have no idea. You

313
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: gotta keep planning. You gotta keep planning. Then that's I mean,

314
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: did they Here's my question, Like, let's say you go

315
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: into I guess you could eye r him, But do

316
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: you ever just have to cut bait with him? If

317
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: the if the report is just that negative by the

318
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: end of the summer, I think it's so early. I know,

319
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: I don't see why, because why can't you just not

320
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: right now? I'm saying, if you, if you can conclusion

321
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: you cannot play again. Yeah, I mean, if if that,

322
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: if you felt strongly enough, he's not coming back to football.

323
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: But I don't see why you wouldn't wait a whole

324
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: another year just to see from what we heard about

325
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: the severity of the injury. It's typically in these situations,

326
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: it's not that's you know, there's specifics to every injury.

327
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: I don't want to group them all one category. But

328
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: when you have what's deemed a devastating kne injury, knee injury,

329
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 1: it feels like fifty fifty with these guys. You can

330
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: be Navarro Bowman where you get back, be Mark Marcus

331
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: Lattimore where you don't, And you just never know until

332
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: the process plays out and it's still ongoing. Moving on, Hey,

333
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: Zach Brown, another gray Beard team member and a reminder,

334
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: once a gray Beard, always a great beer. So people

335
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: that tweet at me when these guys start coming off

336
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: the market, hey, you gotta replace z and so, No,

337
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: it's a fake team, dummy. He's on the team. That's it.

338
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: Did you ever make even a start? Dad? He's dad.

339
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: He's not gone back and editing now ten times over.

340
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: The what's that thing goes out the door? It's out

341
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: the door anyway. The Redskins agreed to terms with inside

342
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: linebacker Zach Brown, spent last year with the Bills, just

343
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old, coming off a season where he

344
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: established career highs and tackles and forced fumbles. Uh and West, Uh,

345
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: this is a player that at this stage of the game,

346
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: I like this pick up For the Bills, I love it.

347
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: Excuse me, the Redskins, I love it. He was ranked

348
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: on our top one O one free agents. Only Adrian

349
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: Peterson and Jonathan Hankins remain from the top twenties, so

350
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: this was a good signing. He was among the tackle

351
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: leaders all year last year, and if you go back

352
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: and watch the I believe it was the Week four

353
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots. He had like eight teen tackles.

354
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 1: It was one of the best games by an inside

355
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: linebacker all year. West is going to be telling his

356
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: grandchildren about this game. I mean, you love this game.

357
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: I actually remember when you were watch I think you

358
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: were watching it at work on game pass and you

359
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: were just like, I've never seen a linebacker play like

360
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: this for this game. That was a shutout wind If

361
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: people remember, is that West. That's that's my impression of

362
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: damax impression. Nobody is more abused in the people trying

363
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: to speak like someone in West who was just reduced

364
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: to some sort of mindless person with literally no education. Yeah,

365
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: I'll take that and counter you with Damna sex impression

366
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: of me, which maybe you haven't heard, don't heard out

367
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 1: too much, but it's it's a lot of well, I

368
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: don't really know about that checks out. West is as

369
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: time goes on, anybody that does a West impression, it

370
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: gets more and more country. Eventually just gonna be like

371
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: a deliverance, like the kid with a messed up phase

372
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: playing West. That's true. Redskins. You know, we killed the

373
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: Redskins for having a bad offseason and they have. It

374
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: is worth noting, you know, Brown is a nice pick

375
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: up at a position in need and their biggest losses

376
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: everyone you know really talked about we're wide receiver and

377
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: you look at their wide receivers pretty good Jamison Crowder,

378
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: Josh Dotson if if he can get healthy, and Jordan

379
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: Reed that's a great for you know, receiving option groups.

380
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe they're not in such moving on. Nicest

381
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: thing Gregg's ever said about the reds Maybe in such

382
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: bands shape. We are in the branch, sorry, huge olive branch,

383
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: very classic, but you know we now we have to

384
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: make up. You know who you and I yeah, I

385
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: told you. I because I know you and you're in

386
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: the trust tree. That's more than me laughing. I can

387
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: take it. No, I can take it because you're in

388
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: the trust tree, and I could step back and be like,

389
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 1: not a lot of people in that tree. Yeah, that's true.

390
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: If you're not in the tree and you do something

391
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: to upset the old suser and I'm not saying this

392
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: is like a positive a trait of mind, then you're

393
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: in trouble. Like I'll probably you'll never get off the list.

394
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: But if you're in the tree, you get a significant

395
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: amount of rope before you're hanging from it. That way.

396
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: Next metaphors, you're yeah, you're like, I mean, you're like

397
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: Mr Miyagi Prune in the bonds Eye tree. Your tree

398
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: is pretty thin these days. Not a lot of new

399
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: members coming into the treehouse. Uh. Gronk talk Spring of Gronk.

400
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: It is, you know when in the early days, and

401
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: I feel like we're in a post Gronk world in

402
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: terms of documenting is off the field stuff. In his

403
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: early years, it was legitimate fun and you'd read profiles

404
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: where he would show up at Kagger's and you know,

405
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: be spotted on a dance floor, like doing backflips with

406
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: a brother, or just being in a wrestling match in

407
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the street. But now he's a little

408
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: more streamlined, and all these things are they seem to

409
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: be an extension of the Gronk brand. Perfect example, showed

410
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: up ringside WrestleMania thirty three on Sunday, uh and uh

411
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: he's good buddies with a pro wrestler named Mojo Rawley. Uh.

412
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: And they worked him into the script of the match.

413
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to break cafe here, but they worked

414
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: They worked him into the script and ended up dropping

415
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: a shoulder um kind of like a running shoulder slam

416
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: type move onto another wrestler named Gender Mahal. And it

417
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: all started when Mahal threw a beer on Gronk. The

418
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: man's name is Ginger. Yeah, j I N D E R.

419
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: I think he's a wrestler of Iranian descent. Be careful, Dan,

420
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: I mean what you know what a surprise for Gronk

421
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: thinks he's just showing up to enjoy a nice sporting event.

422
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: It gets caught in the middle. It's it's unbelievable. I

423
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: remember that move when hill Billy Jim pulled it. Sure

424
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: hill Billy Jim had a couple of brothers too, back

425
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: when I don't remember. This gender, by the way, is

426
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: from Calgary, Canada, but his nationality is Indian, so a

427
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: little far off there. You're trying, though, I see an

428
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: effort on your party. The effort is absolutely there, and

429
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: that's important. That's important anyway, So Gronk and then uh

430
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: he showed up the next day. So that was Sunday

431
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: in Orlando. Monday in Boston. He showed up at opening

432
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: day for the Red Sox where Tom Brady, who would

433
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: was presented his missing Super Bowl jerseys earlier in the

434
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: day by Robert Kraft, which was documented by the team,

435
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: of course, with both still in motion photographers. Brady held

436
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: up the jerseys on the field at Fenway Park, and

437
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: then Gronk swiped the jersey away from Brady and ran away.

438
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: And then Tom Brady this is whereth checking out. It's

439
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: kind of funny. Tom Brady chases runs after Gronk and

440
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: tackles him behind second base and retrieves the jersey once more.

441
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: Great fun, a little calculated, maybe not as natural as

442
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: the old summer of Gronk antics, but I'll sign off

443
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: on this one he has great potential about ten years

444
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: from now, I think, as he's nearing forty to be

445
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: one of the most ponderous public figures of our lifetime,

446
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: not now, not now. I get it. I like Gronk,

447
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: but I mean, can you imagine this guy's midlife priss

448
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: when it comes around and what sort of social media

449
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: platforms we have in our world, then it's gonna be rugged.

450
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: On a positive note, he's not moving like a guy

451
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: that people were afraid might never play at a high

452
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 1: level again because of becks stead to be ready for

453
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: the pretty well. There was a lot of discussion on

454
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: Twitter at the time during the WrestleMania but like what

455
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: is Bill Like? They're shocked, like how good do you

456
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: have to be to be able to get clear and

457
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: to do WrestleMania? You know, no other page you would

458
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: be hot. And one response was like he probably didn't

459
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: tell them at all. He's just out like he's done

460
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: other things like the I think ESPN magazine cover when

461
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: he was naked or something like he's like he's not talented.

462
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: He minute he jumped, he climbs into the ring. You

463
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 1: could you could watch a video on the end around

464
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: where I wrote about it. He climbs into the ring

465
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: and does a running sprint and levels this guy with

466
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: his shoulder and Ginger Mahal, who's Canadian of Indian descent,

467
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: is six ft five and two thirty pounds of pure muscle,

468
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: so it was probably wrestling height and weight or real

469
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: heightened way. If you look at the video, he's bigger

470
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: than Gronk, so it seems pretty legit. And uh, that's

471
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: like running into a wall essentially like four months removed

472
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: from back surgery. That's all I'm gonna say, Dan, What

473
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: would have been a bigger fantasy for you in the

474
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: off season to have Tom Brady tackle Gronk and both

475
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: of their bodies just physically crumble and they're done crossed

476
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: my mind because it's surprising. Yeah, it was surprising to

477
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: me that Brady actually, as part of the bid at Fenway,

478
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: tackled Grunt and they're they're hugging each other. There's actually

479
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: the ap shot photos and at one point, like Brady's

480
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: hand is uncomfortably uh close to Grons We're getting back

481
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: into that region for you. Is it they closer than

482
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: I am to our former sponsor Mr Planet? Well, you

483
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: tell us, I've told you all how you took where

484
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: he was going with that, You thought that that's what

485
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: I was getting. I typically no, I do not think

486
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: in that case. But I typically know Dan has what's

487
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: going on up there, coded language for all sorts of things,

488
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: and that come into a certain certain wheels. Let me

489
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: let me lean on the kissing cousin for this West.

490
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: I simply said that Mark would be the best person

491
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: to reach out to because he's developed a more personal relationship.

492
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: That's all. That's what I got out of it. That

493
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: we all four of us like Mr F and are

494
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: big fans of him, but Mark has carried on more

495
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: correspondence with him. Now that now the way that was described,

496
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: I will sign up for entirely. I mean, I'm just

497
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: saying I didn't say much more than that either. You

498
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: you put a sort of a ring of suspicion around

499
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: the whole thing, which you know. I think it's the

500
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: word odd that got Mark. I got on your radar?

501
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 1: It did would it get on yours? If I were

502
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: to subscribe a friendship you have a someone as Odd, Yeah,

503
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: I guess because he lives in the Netherlands and you've

504
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: never met it's I should have said unusual. Would that

505
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 1: have been better? Not? Really strange? Different? Quirky? Wow? Uh?

506
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: And and finally in the news, Cam Newton and his

507
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 1: wife um is Cam married. Let's see I can get

00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: little Hard Knocks. Let's do it. Oh, there it is?

551
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: What a s y's the new season of Hard Knocks

552
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: coming in August? We find this info. Mark Sessler wrote,

553
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: a banger lead hard Knocks is sticking around. Would hardly

554
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: call that a banger. H It's like a four graph

555
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: PR release that they summary reason I put my name on.

556
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: This year's five episode season scheduled to launch on Tuesday,

557
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: August eight, which is right around when it always starts.

558
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: And uh uh. The announcement came that they they're staying

559
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: in bed together. That's great. So but now let's break

560
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: it down. There has not been a team name yet. Um.

561
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: Last year the team was announced, you know, the Rams

562
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: as we recall a little earlier, but usually it happens

563
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: later in the spring. I'm thinking around late in May.

564
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: But our job, one of our jobs does um I

565
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: thot me and he's read, go, what do you think

566
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: about it? Did a very solid job. We're going, Yeah,

567
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: is that is everyone comfortable with the situation. I like

568
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: the product. That's Mr Flame already. We gotta talk. We

569
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: gotta talk to Mikey. I hope he's not angry. We've

570
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: only seen nice sides of Mr. Flame. Maybe this is

571
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: when we see the dark side. It's possible. And this

572
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: came very abruptly with no notice at all. No be angry.

573
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, what has he done? He's been nothing but

574
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: a glorious sponsor and then one day, poof, he's out

575
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: of the game and we double up on new sponsors.

576
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: Well we look a little mercenary. Greg, Greg loves it.

577
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: You know, Greg is a mercenary. We learned that Friday. Yeah,

578
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: you know, Um, maybe Mr Flame he had a great run.

579
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: Well more can you ask? All right, let's let's keep

580
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: moving anyway. So hard knocks, Uh, there is there's a

581
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: whole system to hard knocks, which we'll get to in

582
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, where whereby a lot of teams can

583
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: be excluded from the process. Uh, though you can also

584
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: any team can volunteer to be on the show. I

585
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: think the Jaguars or we've kind of heard whispers that

586
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have been begging to be on the show

587
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: for years and years. Maybe that's just an unfair rumor,

588
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: but for the most part, Uh, there's a general sense

589
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: that teams are kind of plucked to to appear on

590
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: the show, maybe sometimes against their will. We'll see what

591
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,239
Speaker 1: happens this year. So why don't we talk about Hard

592
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: Knocks and specifically who we would like to see? Uh?

593
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: Your number one choice, factoring out who has to be picked,

594
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: who can be picked, who's you know who, who's off

595
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: the hook? Uh, let's go around the room here and

596
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: I'll start uh with you Mark Sessler. I've always wanted

597
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: to see my favorite team, the Browns, on Hard Knocks.

598
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: And here's here's one of the major reasons. August is

599
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: the last month that they have to be relevant, and

600
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: I beyond that. Honestly, that's been the case year after year.

601
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: Once the games start, all the off season build up

602
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: in drama, and they are typically a pretty interesting team

603
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: in the off season. You'd allow it to crescendo for

604
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: once because the minute the games start, forget about it.

605
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: That's when we focus on all these great teams and

606
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: organizations that consistently go to the playoffs. I think there's

607
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: a lot. There's also in many years, there would have

608
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: been a case for Cleveland to be an interesting target

609
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: because you've got this new front office is trying to

610
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: do things in a way that no other team has

611
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: done it of late. You've got Hugh Jackson, who was

612
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: great during the Bengals are knocks like he was fantastic

613
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: on it could be a good personality. Jimmy haslum Isn't

614
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: is an owner that would be intriguing on camera. I

615
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: don't think we have. We still there's a lot of

616
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: preconceived notions about him. You probably have Miles Garrett the

617
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: number one draft pick. You probably have a rookie quarterback

618
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: at number twelve. You'd still have basically the age old

619
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: storyline of the team trying to tug itself out of hell,

620
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: and you're throwing at Josh Gordon. Potentially. There's a lot

621
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: of moving parts here. And I do feel like we've

622
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: seen certain teams sort of over and over and this

623
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: would be I don't know why they've never gotten on it,

624
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: but it would be a team unlike any other in

625
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: terms of now they're not the most successful, they are

626
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: the least successful. How do you rise out of the ashes?

627
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: I like it. I think there's one one reason why

628
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: we haven't seen them yet is if you hire a

629
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: new coach, you can stay off the show for a

630
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: couple of years. And they hire coach. Literally they've been

631
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: doing it for like a decade, so they've kept themselves

632
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: on that list of teams that um can avoid being

633
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: on the show against their will. You could have a

634
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: little Brock situation Tony Grossy and this angry contingent of

635
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: beat writers. I just think there's a lot of anger

636
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: and pope and passion all mixed up into one. I

637
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: think it would be and I think it would be

638
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: an interesting team. And looking at the list and there's

639
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: only eight on an article that Dan wrote, you can

640
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: find who are the teams the NFL can man can

641
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: they can compel them to be on the show. They

642
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: can make them be on the show, and they would

643
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: have no other choice. The Browns are one of those eight,

644
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: And looking at that list, I thought, I it wouldn't

645
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: totally shock me if they were the Hard Knocks team

646
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: this year. Mark sold wouldn't be number one on my list,

647
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: but it would be a fun one. I thought they

648
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: would be boring, and then Mark sold me on. I

649
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty compelling, especially with the number one

650
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: overall pick and then a rookie quarterback. Also, that could

651
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: be an interesting It could be the closest thing Joe

652
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: Thomas gets to the playoffs. Oh not wrong, I will

653
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 1: amend what I said. If you hire a new coach,

654
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: it keeps you out of the mix for that year.

655
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 1: So the Browns are on the list this year, and

656
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: the list is eight teams that that can be I

657
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: liked your use. They're compelled, Slash Told, Bears, Buccaneers, Brown's, Cults, Eagles, Ravens, Saints,

658
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: and Titans all can be forced to be on the show. Uh.

659
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: But anyway, so the Browns that I like that choice.

660
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: I liked it the last couple of years. I liked

661
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: it was always interesting to me when Manzel was in

662
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: the mix. He's obviously not there anymore. But Uh, plenty

663
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: of good storylines. West. Who would you want to see

664
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: on the show. I want to see the Patriots, the

665
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: defining team of the era, like the sixties Packers, the

666
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: seventies Steelers, the eighties forty Niners, the early nineties Cowboys.

667
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: This is the team of the era. You know, every

668
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: Friday during the season, we get a glimpse of the

669
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: real Belichick, not the one who's buttoned up and refuses

670
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: to speak to the media, but Friday afternoons, he's in

671
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: a good mood and he out lines what's going on

672
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: with the NFL that week or what's going on with

673
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: his opponent that week, and it's some of the most

674
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: fascinating football conversation going. If we could get a peek

675
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: at that, that would be cool. If we get a

676
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: peek at how driven Tom Brady is to mow down

677
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: age barriers. How why do the Patriots value Jimmy Garoppolo

678
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: so much? He's he really that Do his teammates really

679
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: think he's that good? I think there's all kinds of

680
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: issues and the defining team of its era, as Dan

681
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: has said, has now clicked in to win now mode

682
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: after they want a Super Bowl. This is this could

683
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: be the best Patriots team of the Brady Belichick era.

684
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty fascinating. More Patriots in your life, Danny, Well,

685
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen for the simple reason that they're

686
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: way too controlling of their brand, compelled by an NFL

687
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: that they've gone back and forth with. Couldn't the NFL

688
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: say to them, the NFL and the Patriots are not

689
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: on a great footing. I don't think now they're off

690
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: the list if you make the playoffs in the last

691
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: two years. But uh, well, stranger though, if you really

692
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: want to imagine what it would be like the Patriots

693
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: on Hard Knocks, there was that random season long documentary

694
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: about I believe the two thousand nine Patriots Your Job

695
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 1: that was? What was it? Wasn't it do your job? Yeah?

696
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: It was. It was really on Belichick phrase, it was

697
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: unbelievably Wait, we're mixing two of them up. Actually there

698
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: one was about the twenty nine I believe it was. Yeah,

699
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: they lost to the Ravens in the playoffs. Twenty was

700
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: the year after Brady came back from the a c L.

701
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: So it's two thousand nine. That was a football life

702
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: actually that they went under that band or even though

703
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: it's totally but that was if you want to know,

704
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: you'll never see them on Hard Knocks. But if you

705
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: want to know what it was like it was focused

706
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: on Belichick, but it also had a lot of moments

707
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: like Brady in Belichick's office. I don't think, especially with

708
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: all that's transpired uh in the last couple of years,

709
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the Patriots would ever signed off on

710
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: NFL cameras having that type of access ever again. But

711
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: it would even as a Patriots hater, it would be

712
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: fun to see the see behind closed doors. So I

713
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: get it you're carrying the water or west for your

714
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: favorite team, but I don't think it's a bad choice. Well,

715
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you have there, you have your jets. I

716
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: like interesting football teams that are well run, right, it's

717
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 1: not you. I mean, it's kind of a fake fandom.

718
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: It's not. It's not a fandom at all. It's just

719
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: you're not what I like about football teams that are

720
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: good at what they do. You're a fan mercenary, that's

721
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: what you are. I mean, call it what you want.

722
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: I just like the sport. You like a bad football team, right,

723
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: I like the sport too, but I also have a

724
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: loyalty to a team. You jumped off of your your team,

725
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: and now you jump around whoever is good. Make no apologies.

726
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not, you know, accusing you. The Titans

727
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: weren't good, but I jumped around to them. I jumped

728
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: around to interesting teams. When you are like ninety one

729
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: and eighties seven or whatever your age differences, you're going

730
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: to be having the same exact conversation. No, you know,

731
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: I because West will come back to the Bengals one day.

732
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: That's not happening one day when he's up. I think

733
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: when when he settles down and has a kid and

734
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: his son's like, Papa, I want to watch football with you,

735
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: I'd be like, hey, you can still watch fifty eight

736
00:39:55,040 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: year old Tom Brady who's still still in the Pro Bowl. Um,

737
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: just think about that was we stole the Pro Bowl.

738
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: Then I'll throw one out there, Dallas Cowboys, and I'll

739
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: tell you why it's not gonna be for the reason

740
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: you think a lot of people will be like, oh,

741
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, blah blah blah. You know they're They're the

742
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: America's team. No, I'm I'm digging in a little deeper

743
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: than that, because I believe, in my opinion, the Cowboys

744
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: are are are you know, set for a painfully disappointing

745
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen and I want to be I want

746
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: to be in on the ground floor, baby, interesting. I

747
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: want to look into this their confidence. Can you imagine

748
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: the confidence coming out of that building right now, the

749
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: self belief within that complex, and what this team will

750
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: be achieving. And I just want to give a little

751
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: history lesson for people. And I know these things are

752
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: not necessarily you know, they don't all tie together. But

753
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: the last five seasons, the Cowboys have had a double

754
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: digit win total two thousand three, ten and six, two

755
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: thousand four, six and ten, two thousand, seven, thirteen and three,

756
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: two thousand eight, nine and seven, missed the playoffs two thousand, nine,

757
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: eleven and five, two thousand ten, six and ten, two thousand, fourteen,

758
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: twelve and four, two thousand, fifteen, four and twelve by

759
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: transitive properties, thirteen and three and two thousand six, Oh yeah, baby,

760
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: three and thirteen and two thousand seventeen. You just want

761
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: to see it all burned down. Some people just want

762
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: to watch the world burn That's me. I want to

763
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: see it. And here's some of the other positive things

764
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: about it. Uh they I think they're gonna be in

765
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 1: that practice facility, that brand new practice facility. I'm intered.

766
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: I like seeing those things, like they have a a

767
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: practice facility that's worth more than some stadiums, and I

768
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: want to get it. I want to get behind the

769
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: closed doors there. Jared Jones is gonna be all over

770
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: that thing. And I like Jerry, Like some owners like

771
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: you brought up Jimmy Haslum, I would imagine he would

772
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: potentially stay in the shadows a little bit. A lot

773
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: of owners aren't really out out in front for the

774
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks season, But you know Jerry, he's a whole

775
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: different situation. Maybe we get on the Jerry bus. That's fun.

776
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, he's the biggest issue here, huge dud, actually

777
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: the biggest dud on this program since Mike Smith and

778
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: his Tevas Tevis. We never did figure that out. Uh,

779
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: Like if you want to talk about like the anti

780
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: power rankings for head coaches on Hard Knocks, basically Mike

781
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: Smith in two thousand and fourteen and um got his

782
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: name Mike Joe Filman in two thousand twelve. I believe

783
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: what was Jeff Fisher wasn't doing too much for me

784
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 1: either now, but yeah, that's true. What was Joe Philban's

785
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: legacy was really as the guy who cleans up after

786
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: the room when people leave it. It's like picks up

787
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: little pieces of paper walking around and be in the

788
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: wrong business picking up gum on the practice field and

789
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 1: telling people to tie their shoelaces. That was the most

790
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: exciting thing about Philman on Hard Knocks anyway. So you

791
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 1: get the stars, you got Deaz, you got Zeke, you

792
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: got Dak, you got stars. You've got drama and a forebetting,

793
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: foreboding sense of general doom with the Cowboys. Well, Jerry Jones,

794
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, has done Our Knocks twice before, and the

795
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: last time they were on, you know, might be the

796
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 1: reason why he would be afraid to do it, because

797
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: they could not be compelled, but they could raise their

798
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: hands and say, hey, we want to do it, and

799
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: I would assume the NFL films would love that they

800
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: did it. The last time. They were coming off thirteen

801
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: and three with t O and Tony Romo and Wade

802
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: Phillips as their coach, and I think it was the

803
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: single most disappointing season in the history of Hard Knocks.

804
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: Maybe not the worst, but probably in the three or

805
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: four worst, but the most excitement going into Wow, this

806
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be great Tony Romo t o like this

807
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 1: awesome team that just lost the heartbreaker to the Giants

808
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and it was just kind of a

809
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: season that nothing really happened. It has potential to be

810
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: less than you'd think it would be. I feel like

811
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,439
Speaker 1: we've been there, done that with the Cowboys a little bit.

812
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: It would be you've got new players in there, it

813
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: would be it would be intriguing to see these young

814
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: guys behind the scenes. But uh, you know, it also

815
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: reinforced the idea that the NFL is truly only focused

816
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: on about five or six teams. I don't know if

817
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys want to show behind the scenes with the

818
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: Zekeo Elliott right, Well, that's fair. By the way, cowboys

819
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: were on it in two thousand two, which is ancient history,

820
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: and it was a different show. Frankly back then, I

821
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: don't really count that. And then two thousand and eight,

822
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: so as Greg alluded to, and that was, you know,

823
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: almost a decade ago, so it's not like it's like, oh,

824
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: we just had the Cowboys on the show. Everything is

825
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: different there, with the exception of the owner. At this stage, Greg, well,

826
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: I think we we could talk a little after this

827
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: about teams we actually think will be on and so

828
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: I'll admit that this team has no chance to be on,

829
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: but it's a team I would personally want to be

830
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: on more than any other, and that's the Pittsburgh Steelers.

831
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: The first thing in hard Knocks is do you have

832
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: a compelling head coach? There might not be a head

833
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: coach in the league i'd rather see for five weeks

834
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: behind the scenes than Mike Tomas. I just think he's

835
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: a dynamic personality. You're not sure what you're getting with them. Everyone,

836
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: as everyone who's ever spoken with him is like, this

837
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: guy's a leader. This guy kind of controls the room.

838
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: He's a presence. You know. I would walk around for

839
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: everyone in there, and so does Rob Bryan. So there's that,

840
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: and I think Mike Tomin is kind of the coach

841
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: version of the Steelers. There's something mysterious about them. I mean,

842
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: they're this great organization that we hear all about. You know,

843
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: they're they're one of the organizations in the NFL, but

844
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: they're they're kind of private. They keep things inside, so

845
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of like the Patriots. That's why I would

846
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: love to see them. I think Ben Roethlisberger you know,

847
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: mixing in with his teammates. I think you got some

848
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: personalities there at skill position with Antonio Brown and Levan

849
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: Bell and Martavis Bryant's return. You could have James Harrison

850
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: returning to the mix again. He's always fun on hard knocks.

851
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: Just Bengal season, a bit of a little bit of

852
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: the Rooney's um, you know some of the now you're

853
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: selling me. I'm serious though, if you love if you

854
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 1: love football, this is one of the most important families,

855
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: and I think they would dive into, you know, the

856
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: history of this. Just I don't think they'd ever do

857
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: it because they're so traditional. They like to run a

858
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: tough training camp too, that has gotten under the radar

859
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: of the NFL. So maybe they don't want cameras in

860
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: there they and yeah, they have a beautiful location, uh,

861
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: you know, traditional location for their train It would be

862
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: it would be delightful as a football fan. I don't

863
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: think it will ever happen all right now. Of the

864
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: so there are four choices, personal choices, uh. And then

865
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: of the eight teams that can be chosen, what do

866
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: you guys, who you think is most likely Let's say,

867
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: let's work off the premise that it will be one

868
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: of those teams, which is not necessarily how will play out,

869
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: but Bears, Bucks, Brown's, Cults, Eagles, Ravens, Saints and Titans. Great.

870
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: You said something interesting downstairs that I kind of buy

871
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: into a little bit about the team you think could happen. Well,

872
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: I thought the Saints were a logical choice. They've never

873
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: it's never happened before. Or you just got the New

874
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: Orleans element. You know they have training camp down there,

875
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: You've got people that fans know it's the end of

876
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: the Sean Payton era. You know, perhaps Drew Brees is there.

877
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: You maybe wouldn't have ownership getting in the way with

878
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: Tom Benson. I think that would be a compelling choice.

879
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: I can't deal with that much Sean Payton in my life.

880
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 1: I just can't. They could be like a team people

881
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 1: love to hate a little bit too. Watch cannot watch

882
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: Sean Payton just lie all through every episode. He also,

883
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: you know, Sean Payton coming off like fourteen straight, seven

884
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 1: and nine is the most underrated subplot in the NFL

885
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: right now. You know, he knows his number could be

886
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: up soon, and if he continues to struggle in New Orleans,

887
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: this could be like a good way to get his

888
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: brand out there. Hey look how cool I am, and

889
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: I'm the guy you want leading the operation. He's He's

890
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: publicly spoken against Hard Knocks a few times and even

891
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: said he would never allow cameras to show release of

892
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: a player. He thinks that's inhumane. Um, but he did

893
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: say last year, and I don't know if this was

894
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: in response to a Pro Football Talk article where the

895
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: Saints were bracing to be chosen as last year's and

896
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: Sean Payton did said, you know, say, you know, if

897
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: if we got picked, I'll be I'll be the smiling,

898
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: good guy. You know, he'll take it. So who knows?

899
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: Anybody else? Want to throw out who you think of

900
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: that group? I could see the Saints. I think the

901
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: Titans are Maybe the Titans are intriguing, although head coach

902
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: scenario there, head coach, if the if you pick up

903
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: the slack another area, could they could the Eagles be

904
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 1: a team? I think they would be intriguing and they

905
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: might say yes, Bucks not terrible. James Winston has charisma.

906
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: I think the Bucks are connected with everything right now,

907
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: whether it's a free agent, destination's trade possibilities, hard knocks

908
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: choices all right, finally, Mark you uh, I'm gonna give

909
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: you one last chance. You are as everyone knows a

910
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: Browns fan? What what what do you have to say

911
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: in the closing thoughts? Well, I just I wanted to

912
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: say there are a couple of teams that I don't

913
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: think should be featured on hard Knocks. I have a couple.

914
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: I have a no list, a soft note, but but

915
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: also I mean it right. Dolphins, Bills, Steelers, Ravens, Chargers, Broncos,

916
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: and the Seattle Seahawks. The next list is definitely not.

917
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: Definitely it's the worst list to be These are the

918
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: teams I don't want on it. This is the definitely

919
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: not list. The Bengals, the Patriots, the Raiders, the Titans,

920
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: the Cults, the Giants, the Redskins, the Cowboys, the Panthers,

921
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,280
Speaker 1: the Lions, the Vikings, the Bucks, the Falcons, and the Texans.

922
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: And the final tiers go after yourself. That's even worse

923
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: than definitely you're not getting on the show. Saints, Jets, Chiefs, Jaguars, Eagles, Packers, Bears, Niners, Cardinals,

924
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: and of course the Rams. Okay, so who does that leave? Leaves?

925
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: The Browns get it right this time My list is

926
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 1: both New York teams. They're already They're already as overexposed

927
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: as you could possibly get by every media member in

928
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: this country. Lest this was a little unecessary, I mean

929
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: we knew that already. Yeah, don't know, Jets are giants? Please, Okay,

930
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to worry about the Jets. No,

931
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to worry about the Giants either.

932
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 1: You'll be okay, Chris, you'll get through this. You don't

933
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 1: even watch a show, do you. If it's a good season,

934
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: I'll watch it, Okay, all right, So I wanted to

935
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: have someone on the phone, but we're we're running a

936
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: little short on time. We have to do an NFL

937
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: network kid, we got a meeting with some shadowy league figures,

938
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: so we're just we're gonna bump this guy, uh like

939
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: Matt Damon on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, and maybe maybe

940
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: we can make something also not like Matt Damon at all.

941
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: I think long time listeners of the podcast could guess

942
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: who this looks like. A tall gonna say, bears more

943
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: than a passing resemblance to Hollywood superstar Matt Damon. On.

944
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: Everything like a six ft six version of Yeah, not

945
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: a bad looking dude. Anyway, he's bumped. So it's like

946
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,280
Speaker 1: good news, bad news. Good news is you've been compared

947
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: to a major league hunk. Bad news. Once again, another

948
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: opportunity goes by the boards to get back on the show.

949
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: Maybe next week or excuse me, maybe next show, or

950
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: maybe next week or maybe next year. But we gotta go.

951
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: We gotta start preparing for other aspects. A lot of

952
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: people think this is the only thing we do in

953
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: NFL media. This is only that's some streets talking about

954
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: our roles got you. You'd be surprised to us how

955
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: many how like how many people don't realize how much

956
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: writing we do that are huge fans of the pocket.

957
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: Check out what our stuff at NFL dot com, slash news.

958
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: It's ironic because you know, the listeners think this is

959
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 1: the only part of our job, whereas our bosses don't

960
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 1: even count it as part of our It's very it's

961
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: it's a horrible tug of war. Speaking of the listeners,

962
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: shout out to all the people. When Mark tweeted out

963
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: a photo with John Gonzalez and it who tweeted that

964
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,760
Speaker 1: they needed Greg Rosental to explain who the fourth person

965
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: was in the picture. All right, let's go. Got work

966
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: to do, got other things to do. Stan had the

967
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: signing off for a quiet storm, the mailman, the boss,

968
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: and I'll see it behind the glass. See you Wednesday.

969
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: I am not happy. Do dote
