The shirt that I wore I at 21 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: six am just pulled out of a dryer and could 22 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: not have been more wrinkled and thankfully just you know, 23 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: flattened itself out during the day. That's what you gotta 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: do with the wrinkled shirt. Just take it through the day. 25 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: By the way, Greg, you are really starting to cross 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: over now. Uh you actually showed up on the scroll 27 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: over at the mother Ship in Bristol, espn off one 28 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: of one of your writings at NFL dot com. They 29 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: do refer to you though in the scroll in this 30 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: pro wasn't a scroll Yeah, like the bottom graphic. He 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: wants to clarify, Yeah, to clarify, he you referred to 32 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: as NFL dot COM's Greg Rosenthal. And I'm sure, uh 33 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: that was a hit to both your ego and a 34 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: contract violation had it happened at NFL s in a 35 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: film that woke So he was like, someone sent this in. 36 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: I don't understand really what they're what they're saying. Uh 37 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: should we use I said absolutely, I have no idea 38 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 1: what they're saying either. But I heard Greggy Giggy Rosenthal 39 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: in there and uh green light and everybody sending your 40 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: submissions for NFL Networks. Greg Rosenthal, Yeah, I mean, I 41 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: I consider not even showing up for this podcast today 42 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: because once you know, Stephen A. Smith uses your column 43 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: as a jumping off point for meaningless debate, somehow more 44 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: meaningless than my dart throwing, which was that column. You know, 45 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: picking fits for the right team. Yeah, there's nowhere to 46 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: go in the day, there's nowhere to go in your career. 47 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: But down you did it. Greg. I think it comes 48 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: as no surprise that that the mother ship would pick 49 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: that article, of all articles as a jumping off point. 50 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: That's just fitting. Uh that that drop came from Jamie 51 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: Andrew in Glasgow. Hit him up at the underscore magic 52 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: torch if you want to, you know, figure out what's 53 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: sing in those last three words. So you got a 54 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: plug out of it and you got on the podcast. 55 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: Jamie flying high, not higher than Greg though, Dan Well, 56 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: and I'm not really flying I you know, you seem 57 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: almost resentful about the amount of love Jamie's getting right now. 58 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: I think it's a threat. I wouldn't say that I 59 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: was one that that requested people send in submission. So 60 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: this is totally right. Did the leg work to get 61 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: it on the show. Yeah, and now Greg is trying 62 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: to turn it into some type of narrative can't let 63 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: it happen behind the glass today. By the way, besides 64 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: the great First Lady is Kevin Danger, Hansas, brother of 65 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: the old Zuser, in in California for the week.

You just 71 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: go down different roads, playing laser tag with the children, 72 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: played some laser tag over the weekend with the kids 73 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: in the backyard of handsas manner. I knew you guys 74 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: were up to something when I was getting late night 75 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: screen grabs of various songs you were listening to with 76 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: no context or messaging, just the shot of the songs 77 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: that I he and Danger are. They're up to no good. 78 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: I like it, lion high So Kevin Danger behind the 79 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: glass Alright, Today's show good Ones, sponsored of course by 80 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: Mr Flame and his economics class in the Hague, Netherlands. 81 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: A lot of news to get to, including um some 82 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: rough news from New York jets Land. As I continue 83 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: to make that charge toward Mark Sessler's corner as most 84 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: tortured things of all the narratives. This, this is not 85 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: and thought out well by you, Dan, This plan of 86 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: attack against Mark's corner. Well, sometimes even if you know 87 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose the war, it's just fun to get 88 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: into a few battles. Well, this one is beyond the 89 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: It depends how you define the because if you were 90 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: defining it, which which raster would you rather have? Chris 91 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: Wesley and which raster would you rather have? I am 92 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: on Mark's side on this. I refuse to entertain this 93 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: notion that Dan is suffering more than Mark in his fandom. Yeah, 94 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: I mean Greg, Well, let's talk about it when Jimmy 95 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: garoppolo and then we'll talk Josh Gordon, the triplets in 96 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: the League West, like a true politician, didn't answer the 97 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: question because he knows he would take the Browns. It's 98 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: it's not about what's happening. This instant about the journey 99 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: of what's happened. Don't even come at me with anyone. 100 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm looking down the road. When you have a quarterback 101 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: in a nine one season and I'm sitting on two 102 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: and fourteen with Bryce Petty and Christian. I would gladly 103 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: him the corner realistic. I don't want to be on 104 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: the corner. I think I want to be on the corner. 105 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: I don't know. It sounds like you want something, um narrative. 106 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: We'll talk. We'll talk some news, including yes, a prominent 107 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: New York jet having trouble with the law. We will also, Greg, 108 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: you're referring to the column that you wrote connecting players, uh, 109 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: two teams and free agency. So we're gonna go around 110 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: the horn and all, uh pick one player and one 111 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: team and recklessly, recklessly comment and speculate on why that 112 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: could be a good match and free agency, which is 113 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: coming up. Greg, When is free agency? March nine is 114 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: when the new league year starts, but they can start 115 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: tampering a little bit that two days before that. There 116 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: you go, and we can talk a little Tony Romo, 117 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: which we you know, everybody loves to talk Romo to 118 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: to kill time on the on the major networks during 119 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: this time of year. But we're gonna do it today. 120 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: Put in a nuanced smart way, no pie in the 121 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: sky analysis. We're not looking for the cheap clicks, if 122 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: you will, This is really where Tony Romo will end up, 123 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: Uh what what makes sense? It makes the cupcake and 124 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: a brownie. I'm calling it a crownie. I think the 125 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: listeners will be the judge of whether it's smart and nuances. Okay, 126 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: thank you, by the way for the the cupcakes at 127 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: hands this manner, West and I were we're there on 128 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: our birthday.

I did not think that 135 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: Dan decided to whip up some cupcakes for Greg and I. 136 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: I thought, okay, Emily heard that it was our birthday, 137 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: and because she's a nice she's a nice woman, she said, 138 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: let's get these guys a little attention on their birthday. 139 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: I like the fact that you have multiple women at 140 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: your house. As far as I knew, you had two 141 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: sons and a wife. So this is news to everyone 142 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: in the room. All right, so that is today. Well, yeah, 143 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: we'll just leave that there. That is what's going on today. 144 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: And before we get going, we gotta say hi, yes 145 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: officially to say hello to the first lady around the 146 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: NFL podcast New Money. You guys, I got a new 147 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: theme song. So we wanted to use when You Wish 148 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: upon a Star, which is an iconic Disney song, but 149 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: the SLF's shadowy League figures, Uh, don't let us use 150 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: any music that is copyright now, there's no wiggle room. 151 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: So Sydney, what did you do? How did you? How 152 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: did you improvise? You? So this is actually a song 153 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: from a Russian ballet which they use in the movie 154 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: and wrote lyrics to these to this song which is 155 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: now public dom what movie Sleeping Beauty? Yes, nice workaround, right, 156 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: it's all public domain. It's in our music libraries. So 157 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: deal with a shadowy league figures away from the show 158 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: and that's that. You cannot do that forever, all right, said, 159 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: let's do some news now, didn't we That was the 160 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: one that Gregg privately prepared with you. And it sounded 161 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: like a car crash, the one didn't we want to 162 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: have the one that sounded like an actual jet crashing? 163 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: Oh does that exist? Does that sound from a vehicle angle. 164 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: That would make more sense unless the jet landed safely 165 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: and then got into a car accident. I remember that 166 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: being the drop, the one that Sydney just played, and 167 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: then you having the same criticism last time. Alright, we're 168 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: just repeating ourselves. Yeah, all right. We'll start, of course 169 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: with the New York Jets and cornerback Darrell Reevas, one 170 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: of the most decorated greatest players in franchise history, is 171 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: coming off a terrible season and now he has his 172 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: low point off the field in his NFL career. Uh revs. 173 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: The Aready one turned himself into authorities on Friday day 174 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: after he was charged with four felonies and a misdemeanor 175 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: not at own stemming from his alleged involvement in a 176 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: physical altercation in Pittsburgh on February twelve. Uh this is 177 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: if you're following this case along, that's a little bit 178 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: of a strange case because apparently he was approached outside 179 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: a bar late at night by someone who was was, 180 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: you know, using their camera phone to get some video 181 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: reevs Brown Reeves allegedly through the phone, and then at 182 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: some point it turned into a scuffle with reev Us 183 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: and maybe someone else and two guys ending up out cold, 184 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: knocked out, lights out. It's like West outside hucka Poo's 185 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: in two thousand seven, lights out. I wouldn't I wouldn't 186 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: go that far. Uh. And of course so the police. 187 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: Only Reevers has been charged, but of course his side 188 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: is saying he had nothing to do with knocking these 189 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: two gentlemen out. But it complicates the situation here for 190 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: the Jets, who are already uh in a place where 191 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: they weren't sure if they wanted to bring Revis back 192 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: if they can cut him and eat a six million 193 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: dollar cap charge uh this year or rework his contract 194 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: which is way, way, way bloated compared to now his 195 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: ability as a player. But now, to me, Greg Rosenthal, 196 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: it feels like if the Jets were kind of, you know, 197 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: hanging on and which way to go, this might be, 198 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's time to a clean break from Mr 199 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: Rivas and we might even save six million dollars out 200 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: of it. And that's the next part of the story. 201 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: It's a sad way for Revis's career with the Jets 202 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: to end, but I think it was ending anyways, even 203 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: though that they have to pay him guaranteed money. They 204 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: can save UH seven plus million dollars in cap room 205 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: by cutting him, so I don't think he had virtually 206 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: any chance to return to the team anyways. If anything, 207 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: this makes it more complicated that you know, the court 208 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: dates not until March fifteen, but I don't think they 209 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: need to worry about it. I expect him to be 210 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: an ex Jet sooner than later. If you would have 211 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: told me or any other Jets fan, let's say five 212 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: years ago, that in five years Drew Rivers will win 213 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, but it will be with the Patriots, 214 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: and he will be arrested on multiple felony charges. Charges 215 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: and he's never had any trouble with the law uh 216 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: in his time with the Jets, so you never kind 217 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: of would connect him to something like this. And again, 218 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: we don't know if he actually had a real role 219 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: in this or he just got caught in the wrong 220 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: place at the wrong time. We don't know, but the 221 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: fact that those two things have happened and it is 222 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: it's like a classic Jets thing. They brought him back 223 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: and they and they paid, uh, they paid out the 224 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: nose to do it, and it's been nothing but aggravation 225 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: for the most part, and I believe they should get 226 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: out now because West Ultimately, the Jets are in a rebuild. 227 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: So you even if you restructured his salary and made 228 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: him his safety and all that stuff, the Jets aren't 229 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: gonna win a Super Bowl the next couple of years, 230 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: and he's at an age now where he'll be out 231 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: of football most likely within a couple of years. It 232 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: just doesn't make any sense. I don't think I agree 233 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: with you totally. I don't think there's anything about Revus 234 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: and the Jets that makes sense as a team right now. 235 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: He was scapegoaded last year. Well, he he played poorly 236 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: enough that a lot of the problems got blamed on him. 237 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: But the Jets have the least amount of salary cap 238 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: room in the NFL right now. It's a mess. They 239 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: are in full blown rebuild, and to jettison a guy 240 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: like Revis makes a lot of sense. Well. And also 241 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was scapegoaded, and I wouldn't 242 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: say that entirely because the way that he conducted himself 243 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: in terms of his comments to the press was exactly 244 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: the opposite of what the Jets were hoping to bring 245 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: back In the whole Aura era. The whole idea of 246 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: Revis crumbled. I think last season and you've got it, 247 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: you've got a highs with this guy. The past year 248 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: has been completely out of character with who he was 249 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: from two thousand seven until he left over the first 250 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: time two thousand twelve, and even last year when he 251 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: had a decent too good season but maybe a little disappointing. 252 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: But but yeah, he didn't handle himself well with the press, 253 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: he didn't play well. And now this happens. I mean, 254 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: it's just hard to make sense of. Well, you're one 255 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: of the greatest players of your era and you're played 256 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: declines and you're in the spotlight of New York. You 257 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: might not react to it too well. You know, at 258 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: this this signing never made sense to me other than 259 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: for sentimental reasons. And I you know, you called me 260 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: probably a stinky Davis at the time of the signing 261 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: for saying that, because because you were big on it, 262 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: Jets fans are big on it. Bring them back. We're 263 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: getting them back from the Patriots. And and when this 264 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: happens and you make moves where you pay a guy 265 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: quarterback money at twenty nine years old, for sentimental reasons, 266 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: you're hoping, maybe we get one or two good years. 267 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: They ended up getting one, they got a second disaster year, 268 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: and now they're gonna eat money for you. Here's the 269 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: one by one counter to that. It did not work out. 270 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: But at one point last year they were ten and 271 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: five and they had beaten the But that's not the goal, 272 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: would not be. They were they were one of the 273 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: hottest teams in the league with Rivas on the team 274 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: they were going for. They were trying to rebuild and 275 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: and make a push at the same time, which didn't 276 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: work out. But they were in position with Rivas to 277 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: make a run potentially, and then it it crumbled. But 278 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: now you're now you're a team where the coach and 279 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: the GM are one of the offseason candidates to be 280 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: out of there by week eight if things don't go 281 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: very well. So they have to handle this situation in 282 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: a pristine manner from here on out. Yes, does Rivas 283 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: need one or two more years to make the Hall 284 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: of Fame or do you think he's already not at 285 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: the level he's playing right now. I'm surprised. I think 286 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: he already punched his ticket. I think I think he's in. 287 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: You I have given up on predicting how Hall of 288 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: Fame voters will vote. But he was the best defense 289 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: I think, probably the best cornerback I've seen outside. Wouldn't 290 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: it be better Sanders in his prime? Wouldn't it be 291 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: better to get out now? If? If you really in 292 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: your If he believes that his plays declined, which he 293 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: he mentioned in so many words to some degree last year, 294 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: then to have two more fading scene forget a four 295 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: first team All pros. That's more than this entire class 296 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: of Hall of Famers, this recent one had, except for 297 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: Kenny Easily and all his colleagues, him is the best 298 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: of generation. So I think that, like Dion, Sanders was 299 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: thirty seven years old with the Ravens UH, and nobody 300 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: thinks about that. You think about the glorious Let's move 301 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: on the Jacksonville Jaguars UH and Miami Dolphins doing business 302 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: together UH on this week? First, UH, Julius Thomas, the 303 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: tight end the Jacks signed to a huge deal two 304 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: years ago, did not work out at all, So they 305 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: move um Thomas to the Dolphins in exchange for a 306 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: seventh round pick. Someone will have to make sense and 307 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: make sense of this to me, because it was confusing 308 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: to me, and in a separate deal the Dolphins or 309 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: excuse me, the ja Jaguars send Brandon Albert, another big 310 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: free agent sign signing from a couple of years ago 311 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: who hasn't quite worked out. Um, excuse me, The Dolphins 312 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: send Brandon Albert, another free agent signing that hasn't quite 313 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: worked out, to the Jaguars in exchange for a seventh 314 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: round pick. Let's start their west. Well, why didn't they 315 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: just make this a single trade? Why aren't theyking a 316 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: complicated for the old douser. I'm guessing just because of 317 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: contracts and what what would have to work on that level. 318 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: But I don't know why they did that to you, Dan, 319 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: what what are thoughts about this trade? Mark Julius Thomas 320 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: to me, uh, look nothing like physically, look nothing like 321 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: the guy that that was dominant in Denver for a 322 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: couple of years. He looks he looks slow and old, 323 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: which uh doesn't translate to me to being a game changer. 324 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: But maybe it turns back the clock a little bit. 325 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: When he signed with the Jaguars for a lot of money, 326 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: he definitely was on our radar and those old shows 327 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: about picking potentially perilous free agent deals, and he was 328 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: he for the money and for what he was coming 329 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: out of that offense in Denver to go to Jacksonville 330 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: with what the lack of they had there. It didn't 331 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: It was a disaster, But I I like the idea 332 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: of pairing him again with Adam Gaze. Adam Gaze knows 333 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: a what kind of practice player he was under Adam 334 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: Gays in Denver and what his potential is and how 335 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: he can be used in Adam Gates's offense. So I 336 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: like the landing spot there better than him signing with 337 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: some other team with a team that has no idea 338 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: what he'd be like in the building. So it's a 339 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: chance to revive your career. I don't think we know 340 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: who he is right now. When he got to Jacksonville, 341 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: the Beat writers spent that whole offseason and summer before 342 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: he ruptured attendant in his finger saying he was the 343 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: best player on the field and all their practices. And 344 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: then he came back from the hand injury in October 345 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: and he had no chemistry with Blake Bortles whatsoever, and 346 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: he looked overweight, so that ruined his first year in Jacksonville. 347 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: His second year, he has multiple injuries and ends with 348 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: a fractured tailbone and is even worse in that year. 349 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: So it's all. It's been injuries and no chemistry with Blake. 350 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: Durability is a skill. That's the reason why some people 351 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: were worried about him as a free agent. He wasn't 352 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: very good in his last year in Denver, which he 353 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: was also hurt uh for so he hasn't really been 354 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: healthy much as career. He has never played more than 355 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: fourteen games. That was his one breakout year. He played fourteen. 356 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: That was two thousand thirteen when the Broncos broke all 357 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: those records, and the two years before that he missed 358 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: due to ankle injuries too. That said for one year, 359 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: and I would say this is true on both sides 360 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: of the deal. You're not paying the signing bonus, you're 361 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: not paying tons of guaranteed money. Why not like Brandon Albert, 362 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: you know, I would not group him with Julius Thomas 363 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: as a bad free agent signing. He was a great 364 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: free agent signing. He gave two years of top level 365 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: left tackle play or at least one year uh and 366 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: then an okay year and then last year he was hurt. 367 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: He played through an injury, wasn't great. They have to 368 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: pay him eight million dollars, you know, so what they 369 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: got sixty million in cap room. They don't have to 370 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: pay him anything. It's worth it's worth a shot. They're 371 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: flipping like low, low level draft picks. You look at 372 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: who's picked in the seventh round in the NFL draft. 373 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: I would take a chance on Julius Thomas in Adam 374 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: Gaze's scheme over whatever you're gonna get in the seventh 375 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: But it is a reminder that the Miami is in 376 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: this cycle, like who who is Julius Thomas replacing Jordan Cameron? 377 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: There was another let's take a shot on a guy 378 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: the other team doesn't really want in the middle of 379 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: the scare for different reasons, you know, but just taking 380 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: a gamble on a free agent that one didn't pan 381 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: Outlet's replace him with another. Some other Dolphins news to 382 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: hit news from Bowl teams. Actually, the Dolphins signed Cameron 383 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: Wake to a two year contract. So Wake, who came 384 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: to the NFL uh later in his career as getting 385 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: another contract now because he continues to play at a 386 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: really high level. He had eleven and a half sacks, 387 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: in the twenty sixteen season and has eighty one and 388 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: a half in his eight year career. And I could 389 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: tell you these a little math. It's just over ten 390 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: secs per season. Well done, and like that Cameron Wake, 391 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: it's amazing what he did coming off of a ruptured achilles. 392 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: He was phenomenal list year, playing as well as ever. 393 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: He he's astounding that he that age hasn't mowed him 394 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: down yet. Well, this was, you know, and we talked 395 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about it on our hit on up 396 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: to the minute on Thursday about the Dolphins spending that 397 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: you know one of the reports this week Ian Rapports said, 398 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, get ready for them to spend a lot. 399 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: This was the deal that told me, okay, they're clearing 400 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: the decks because this is an accounting move. This is 401 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: just pushing money into the future to lower Cameron Wakes number, 402 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: give him a little extra guarantee in two thousand and eighteen, 403 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: reward him and like, hey, let's clear some money so 404 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: we can go spend it again. They did it last 405 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: year too, He got an extended last year. With all 406 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: due respect to rap Sheet, it would be news if 407 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: the Dolphins were not preparing to make a big splashing. Uh. 408 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: Speaking of clearing the decks and also age mowing people down, 409 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are saying goodbye to Mario Williams on Thursday. 410 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: The team released the veteran defensive end on Thursday, also 411 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: parting ways with defensive tackle Earl Mitchell. Uh. The the 412 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: release of Williams not a big surprise. Thirty two years old, 413 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: just a sac and a half last year, not far 414 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: from the guy he was in his Texans in Buffalo 415 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: heyday and one last No. The Jaguars also in uh 416 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: offseason remake mode. They cut ties with defensive lineman Jared Drick, 417 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: who signed a five year, forty two and a half 418 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: million dollar contract with Jacksonville in twenty fifteen. So uh, 419 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: the twenty nine year old will go elsewhere. Jacksonville says 420 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: goodbye to Jared Mario an Reevis. Mario Williams and Revis 421 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: will have to decide did they want to keep playing 422 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: football for like a seven hunderent pay decrease or whatever 423 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: the number is, you know, FO, because that's what they're 424 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to do. They might just decide, Yeah, well, 425 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: I know that Mario Williams is one hundred percent plugged in. 426 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if you are familiar with Jared odricks 427 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: Instagram account, but he did not look too disturbed when 428 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: he received the news of his release. He had a yeah, 429 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: he had an Instagram of him essentially celebrating on the beach. 430 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: He he had the phone, he was pointing at it 431 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: with a smile, and he's in like a bathing suit 432 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: on some exotic beach in the middle of the Pacific. 433 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: Is that kind of like I'm a happy guy, This 434 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: isn't gonna bother me, or like I'm happy to get 435 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: out of Jacksonville. I think it was more like I've 436 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: got no care in the world. Football season's over, We'll 437 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: address this time. I've made millions in guaranteed money. Is 438 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: that how you anticipate your NFL media career ending an 439 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: Instagram photo you on the beach a hard body from 440 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: the Tom Brady diet and pointing to your uh instant. 441 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: I mean, in this case, they would they would call. 442 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: They wouldn't call me, They wouldn't even do the courtesy 443 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: of that I could have gotten if it wasn't so 444 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: rainy this weekend could have gotten some hot you know, 445 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: Cessler bod picks with your family. Well, unlike Greg's Facebook 446 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: page from a couple of years ago, I don't post 447 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: shirtless photos of myself on Facebook. I have never posted this. Well, 448 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: they got out there somehow. What Greg got banged on 449 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: social media a couple of years back, I believe was 450 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: your father in law posted beach shots of you like 451 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: paparazzi like beach shots. Once I was made aware of it, 452 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: I immediately deleted. Well, that's my point, I I stay. 453 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: I pre positioned myself for that not to happen. Uh, 454 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: let's move to the Bay Area where Kyle Shanahan, of course, 455 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: uh now the head coach of the forty Niners, and 456 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: he you know, there's a lot of people tying Kirk Cousins. 457 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: Of course there worked together um in d C that perhaps, uh, 458 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: that this would be a perfect match. Uh if the 459 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: if the Niners wanted to make a hard run, if 460 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: Cousins became available. But that's kind of pie in the 461 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: sky stuff. And Kyle Shanahan uh confirmed that in a 462 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: interview with CSN Bay Area. You're not trying to commit 463 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: everything to one year, Shanahan explained, Yes, you want to 464 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: win right away. That's the goal of everybody. But you 465 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: don't want to do that at the expense of hurting 466 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: your future. You don't want to gamble. You want to 467 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: be aggressive in everything, but you gotta do what's right. 468 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: You have to build your team the right way. And 469 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: that's what I mean by being patient. Chris Wesling, you 470 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: wrote the piece and around the NFL, he's got the big, 471 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: juicy contract, he has the ability to stay patient. Right well, 472 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: I think he understands they're not a veteran quarterback away 473 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: from contending. This is one of the worst rosters in 474 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: the NFL, and like you said, he's got six years. 475 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: That's a wide berth to institute a rebuilding project. And 476 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: we've seen NFL insiders have been circling kirk Cousins like 477 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: sharks with chum being thrown from the boat, waiting for 478 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: something to happen with this guy. And maybe kirk Cousins 479 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: has he's not gonna sign, he's not gonna negotiate his 480 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: long term deal until after they placed the franchise tag 481 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: on him. That's what he's come out and said. So 482 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna get forty four million over two years, forty 483 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: three million over two years, there's only twenty three players 484 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL who have ever made 485 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: one million in a career. Kirk Cousins is a chance 486 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: to be part of that group. Oh it's gonna happen, 487 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: barring an injury, because they'll make that money this year. 488 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 1: He'll get it next year, whether it's from San Francisco 489 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: or or someone else. Kyle Shanahan, you know, I think 490 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: the forty Niners are one of the prime teams though, 491 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: And I'm not breaking any news here. To watch out 492 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: for for Jimmy Garoppolo. I thought you gonna say to 493 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: watch out for Kirk Cousins and two maybe, but I 494 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: didn't even call for this, but it happened. Holy hell yeah, 495 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: that that drips worth it just to watch Mark's faces. Guy, 496 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: I hit a home run at the Super Bowl, got 497 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: the big scoop. You can do it too, Here's all 498 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: I'd say. I think you said if you're calling yourself 499 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: some sort of Woodward and Bernstein. Those guys went piece 500 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: by piece with the case until it ultimately was cracked. 501 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: This this, this this Jersey case has gone on and 502 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: on and now new avenues. You gotta keep breaking the news. 503 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: You've got to keep breaking the story closely if you're 504 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: reading the end around, I'm all over it now? Am 505 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: I going to continue to break every avenue? I mean, 506 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: if we're going to continue to play, that that would 507 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: be appropriate. I have breaking news coming, it's coming. I 508 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: think that you would owe that, you would owe the 509 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: podcast listeners more breaking news to continue with that sound drop. 510 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: I have a feeling that drop is gonna hang around 511 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: just because of how much it angers you. Well, it's 512 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: it's I just think that there's a juxtaposition and logic 513 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: in playing when you know at this point where three 514 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: weeks removed from that news being broken, Well, that's what 515 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: we're heading toward. I think with this drop. I am 516 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: more annoyed a little bit with this. There is all 517 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: this patience around Kyle Shanahan all of a sudden, and 518 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,959 Speaker 1: it's like this, this is really nice, but this is 519 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: this honeymoon is going to come crashing to an end. 520 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: I feel like, in a way, I'm not saying I'm 521 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: not saying he won't be successful, but I can think 522 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: of a team a year ago that was saying we 523 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: might get a quarterback. We might not. There are a 524 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: terrible team and we might pass on a quarterback at 525 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: number two and treated completely differently. I mean, I understand 526 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: that Kyle Shanahan is the bell of the ball right now, 527 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: what do you mean treated differently? The Browns could not 528 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: have been more more positively reviewed. I just think he's 529 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: sort of saying everything, you want to be aggressive, you 530 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: don't want to commit, you want to commit. It's like 531 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: we get it call. It's like what you're saying a 532 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: little bit is I don't know if we're going to 533 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: get our quarterback, and I have to pr that angle 534 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: because that might be what happens. We might not get Cousins, 535 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: we might not get Jimmy Garoppolo, we might not want 536 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: to draft in one at number two, and we might 537 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: go into the season with nothing at quarterback. Everyone be 538 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: prepared for that, right the differences Kyle shanahanan has yet 539 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: to even get a chance at free agency or the 540 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: dray The Browns went through the draft and decided they 541 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: didn't want Carson Wentz. Yeah, I mean that's that's a 542 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: big difference. Before we just crowned Kyle Shanahan with everything 543 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: in the NFL, I want to just see it happened. 544 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: I think Niners fans want to see it happen too. 545 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: I think Mark's fired about a t N media insider 546 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan just got the blowtorch because of That 547 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: might be true, but I believe what I just said. 548 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: I do think that is that is a media group 549 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: up there like that. The reporters in San Francisco are 550 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: exhausted with what that team has done. This is a 551 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: nice fresh start, but the honeymoon is not gonna last long. 552 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: If there's suddenly one and nine and they're telling us 553 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: about how patients and it doesn't work in any city 554 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 1: that was that That could be another role for you, 555 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: Sessler take insider Dan hands is. He he breaks through 556 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: and tells you what was really going on behind that 557 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: was really going on? Is what I said. If I 558 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: can't break more news, I'll have to transition into Sessler 559 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: takings Uh Finally Tripolet, Tropolet, tropolet triplett. It's that time 560 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: of year, folks were starting to head into the point 561 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: of the NFL calendar where everything is hunky dorry at 562 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,239 Speaker 1: all thirty two teams, nothing possibly could go wrong, and 563 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: everything and every move that was made is working like gangbusters. 564 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: Moves like the decision by Jim ursa Uh to hire Uh, 565 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard is the team's GM to replace the late 566 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: well he's I mean die, Yeah, that's Ryan Grigson. That 567 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: would be breaking news. Yeah, the former GM of the Cults, 568 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: Ryan Grigson. And a big problem, of course in the 569 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: dynamic between Grigson, UH and Pagano was that they didn't 570 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: get along. And that was very public fodder. It was 571 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: a soap opera. But Ursay tweeted on Sunday that GM, 572 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard and Chuck Pogano our quote clicking on all cylinders, 573 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: every cylinder, click click, click, And when you're clicking it all, 574 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know about cars. I'm kind 575 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: of a big time car guy. Get under that hood 576 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: and I, you know, plug those spark plugs and then 577 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: I twist the engine nugs and I use the rent 578 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: to use the wrench to make the motor fastener, and uh, 579 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: when those cylinders are all going together top performance. I mean, 580 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: I I think I'm probably three or four in car 581 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: guy category in this room. I'd put a man a guy. 582 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: We're also we're missing a car guy in this room. 583 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: I mean, but are we We're also missing a directional guy? No, 584 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: we are the worst if we go to a league 585 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: event and we have to navigate in the city when 586 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: Greg is the one leading away, which means that there's 587 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: at least two wrong turns. And that's not a shot 588 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: at you. You're the best of the group. You're the best. 589 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: I just don't mind. We've never been wrong every time, 590 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: patra I just I'll just be like, all right, I'll 591 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: be the one Patrick show some actual promise in the 592 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: Patrick and that could that could work. Let's make sure 593 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: we get Patrick at every league going forward, just to 594 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: make sure we can get from point A to point 595 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: bay anyway. So, yeah, everything is going beautifully in Indianapolis, 596 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: and the the owner of the Colts want you to 597 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: know that. All right, that's what's happening in the news. 598 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: That's the first of west. That's the first of many 599 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: tropes to come, you know. That's the troupe filled off season. Um, alright, sorry, 600 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: we'll be writing an article on each one of those. 601 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: Oh no, I will not.

Go figure. I'm not going 615 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: to complain, you know when I know I learned a 616 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: lot of people watch first take that was a surprise, 617 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: or at least have it on with the sound off.

Uh and I'm sure he'll be 622 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: sharing one of them that are on the list. That 623 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: is on the list. Uh, So why don't we start 624 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: with you, Greg? Okay, thing's up a little bit. Uh 625 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: if you would care to share a fun Player edition 626 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: from either of the a f C or the NFC 627 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: anything that makes your you know, your engine, nuggs really rotate. 628 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: I was trying to think of the rights. That's car 629 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: talk an engine, trying to think of the right spot 630 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,040 Speaker 1: for Jason Pierre Paul. You know, I tried to a 631 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: sign out you know, both of these big name free agents. 632 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: Who really needs a pass every everyone needs a pass rusher. 633 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: There's no pass rushers available, But there was one coach 634 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: recently saying a pass rusher is a must this offseason, 635 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: Sean Payton. There is one coach in GM who now 636 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: feel a little uncomfortable because the seven and nine bull 637 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: crown has gone from Los Angeles and it's in New 638 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: Orleans seven and nine three straight years. That that that 639 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: um I already forgot his name. Jeff Fisher was the 640 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: guy that got destroyed for that, and you know, after 641 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: the hard knocks thing, Uh, it made sense, But it 642 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: was truly Sean Payton, who should be the guy that 643 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: gets that seven and nine b three straight years? This 644 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: is this feels really like a do or die. They 645 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: have to win, and this is a team that is 646 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: not afraid to act a little desperate in free agency 647 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: any season. I mean, they're the ones who signed Jared's birds, 648 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: Bird Bird, They'll they'll bring guys. They've had a lot 649 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 1: of misfires over the last few years. This year they 650 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: actually have some cap room for once. They got thirty 651 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,479 Speaker 1: million dollars in cap room. They need the defense event 652 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: and you could just see him spending a little too much. 653 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: But Pierre Pau is a good player. I wouldn't knock 654 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: him for it. They really need it badly. Also, I 655 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: like the I like the name Pierre Paul. This is 656 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: where the fund comes in, the name Pierre Paul in 657 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: New Orleans. It just sort of can they possibly pull 658 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 1: it off when their general manager spends of his time 659 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: running the Pelicans that angle, you guy, you've been pushing for. 660 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: Maybe it does play a role in the fact that 661 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: they can't get an NBA team and an NFL team. 662 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: How that goes for you? You know, he just they 663 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: just brought in Boogie Cousins to the Pelic a knowledge 664 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: for Mickey Lewis. Now you get Jason Pierre NBA media 665 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: inside er, Greg Rose NBA NFL media inside or Greg 666 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: That was a complete, uh steal by the Pelicans to 667 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: get Cousins from Sacramento. Mark. So maybe that's probably when 668 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,280 Speaker 1: Lewis was focusing on the Saints. They ought to melt 669 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: that one Lombardi trophy. They have fashion it into a 670 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: shopping cart and kick it back and forth between them 671 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: and the Miami Dolphins to decide who wins. The offseason 672 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: change every year because neither of them are competing with 673 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: the way they approach free agency. Jared's bird is hurt 674 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: right now. Wow, It's just it's just corled Saints. You know, 675 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,479 Speaker 1: I don't feel bad, too bad for them. Saints fans 676 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: are enjoying this Falcon's loss like their team won the 677 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think that says something about your fan base. 678 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: When you get all your pleasure from the pain of 679 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: another friend, it shows your vindictive and it's and it's 680 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: a great rivalry. I've always said, so, um, I will 681 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: now throw a player out there. And actually, Greg, I 682 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: did not see this before making this connection, but you 683 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: and I are on the same page. It's Eddie Lacey 684 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: h the Green Bay Packers. Now I know the Packers 685 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,720 Speaker 1: partner ways with James Starks and it it potentially clears 686 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: the path for a reunion in Green Bay with Eddie Lacey. 687 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: But he's also because of his injuries and some of 688 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: the conditioning issues, and uh, his value is a little 689 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: depressed right now, So I don't think you need to 690 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: like go create. You could over pay him a little 691 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: bit without breaking the bank and get him out of 692 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: Green Bay because like if I feel like Ted Thompson 693 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: is gonna fight too hard uh to keep Eddie Lacey 694 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,439 Speaker 1: in my opinion, So now I think about where would 695 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey be a fit? And I've talked about this. Uh, 696 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: it happened in two thousand seven with Randy Moss, it 697 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 1: happened with h Chris Hogan last year. I can name 698 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: a hundred other times where and many It don't have 699 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: to be a Jets fan. You can be an a 700 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: f C fan, uh where the Patriots make one move 701 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: every offseason and you think to yourself, fun, that's a 702 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: perfect fit. And there's no way that guy is not 703 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: going to be great. And I think Eddie Lacey on 704 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots next year makes a lot of sense. 705 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: And Legarrett Blunt had I think eighteen touchdowns last year, 706 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: which is excellent. But does does anybody really scared of 707 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,720 Speaker 1: le Garrett Blunt? He's he's somebody after game playing around 708 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: Like I could see them getting younger. Getting Lacey was 709 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 1: a more dynamic version of Blunt. Uh, and he plugs 710 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: he plugs in right there, and he also has double 711 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: digit touchdowns, only he does it in a way that 712 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: makes their offense much better, whereas Blunt is kind of 713 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: a between the tackles. Grinder hate the idea of it, 714 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: but I could see it happen. It's not fun to me, Greg, 715 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: I think it sounds fun. And he'd be the same 716 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: age as la Garrett Blunt was when he first arrived. 717 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: And Greg, do you think that they are going to 718 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: they'll prioritize on any level bringing Blunt back or is 719 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: he gone? He says he wants to go back to 720 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 1: New England, But no, it depends what you mean by prioritize. 721 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: I think they'll offer enough. They'll they'll have a number 722 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,839 Speaker 1: for him. It would probably be like two years, five 723 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: million dollars total, which is not much. And if he 724 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: wants to go somewhere else, they'll because Lacy gives you 725 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: the same thing, and he's younger, they'll wait it out. 726 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 1: I don't anticipate, well, I don't anticipate that they would 727 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: make running back their first priority. So if Blunt wants 728 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: to sign a contract in the first day or two, 729 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: then it would be elsewhere. This is like the Facebook 730 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: movie Dan thinks of millions dollars cool? A billion dollars 731 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,280 Speaker 1: is cool. You want to get the other fan bases 732 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 1: in the FC all hacked off dropping f bombs. Forget 733 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey. Patriots are signing Adrian Peterson. WOA a fun 734 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 1: free agent fit top. I feel like Eddie Laces would 735 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: scare me more than Adrian Peterson in two thousand seven. 736 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. Eddie Lacey was even fatter into last 737 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 1: year than he was the year before. I don't I 738 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 1: don't know why Eddie Lacey would scare anybody right now, 739 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: but Adrian Peterson. Here's what the Patriots do when the 740 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: rest of the league zigs, they zagg and Bill Belichick 741 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: has said one of the reasons they always draft late 742 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: in the first round. So what they have to do 743 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: is become an outlier. And we've heard for the last 744 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 1: three weeks that no general manager's gonna pay Adrian Peterson 745 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 1: this offseason, and I don't think they will. I think 746 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 1: the Patriots can get him from on a one year, 747 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: five million dollar deal or something like that, and We've 748 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: seen this act before that would lead to an f 749 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: as well. Corey Dillon rush for seventeen hundred yards almost 750 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 1: when New England basically parachuted him out of Cincinnati behind 751 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 1: in an awful Bengals organization installed him as their lead back. 752 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: And I know James White and Dean Lewis are gonna 753 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: play on passing downs, but la Garrett Blunt rushed three 754 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: hundred times and had eight teen touchdowns in a regular season. 755 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,479 Speaker 1: The Patriots don't want Tom Brady throwing as much now 756 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: as he did three or four years ago, where he 757 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: carried the offense. They ran the ball almost fifty percent 758 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: of the time last year. And if you're Peterson, what 759 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 1: a way to go out because there aren't that many 760 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: more years. And I know that does not make Dan happy, 761 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: but it's the Patriots can pay less for players because 762 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 1: of what the other side of it is Peterson and Lacy. 763 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: I guess to a lesser excent makes sense to me 764 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: because the Patriots. What Belichick does well as he focuses 765 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: on what you can do. He's not worried about what 766 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: Peterson can't do. He's not gonna act, He's not worried 767 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: about the passing downs for Peterson, he's not worried about 768 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 1: how he's gonna go out like they've got people for that. 769 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: The same thing with Blunt. Once a limited player, he 770 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: does what he does well, touchdowns. How many Competerson scores? Right? 771 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: Lacy and Peterson, you know even more are kind of 772 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: like that. They're not a complete players, but they wouldn't 773 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: need to be in My counter to this is that 774 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 1: the Patriots are smart. Obviously there's a reason why it's 775 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: not just Tom Brady and Bill Belichick the way they've 776 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: been built the team. Uh. And I have a feeling 777 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: that Peterson is gonna get overpaid by someone in this offseason, 778 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: someone that will buy that has a lot of money 779 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: to spend and will buy into this idea that he's 780 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: still Adrian Peterson. And I don't think the Patriots are 781 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: gonna overpay to get Adrian Peterson in the building at 782 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: age thirty two. And I think that's why he'll end ups. 783 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: I would even put a sandwich on that. My I agree. 784 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: My whole idea is based on the fact that the 785 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: rest of the league, the other thirty one teams, do 786 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: not want to pay Adrian who is gonna pay I 787 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: could see the Bucks have been the one team and 788 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: if he mentioned the Bucks, it's partly because he mentioned them. 789 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: And actually, if you go back to the Giants to 790 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: he he did mention the Giants too. If you go 791 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: back and watch a video where Peterson is talking with 792 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: his age during his big standoff with the Vikings two 793 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: years ago, his agent is wearing a Buccaneers hat, which 794 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,439 Speaker 1: it seemed like a very like transparent move, like, hey, 795 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: we can get some money from them, and I think 796 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: he fits their offense. Well, I just think he fits 797 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: with their cutter with like one of those beat writers 798 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay said recently they did not expect Doug 799 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: Martin to be cut mhm. Finally, Mark Sessler, give us 800 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: some fun. All right, Well, so it's all New England 801 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 1: gets better by adding Adrian Peterson or Eddie Lacy or 802 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: both and seven other players, and they go, right, how 803 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: about this. We talked about the New York Jets, the 804 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: team that everyone just presumes will just sit in the basement, 805 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: and you and we acknowledge they might be in a 806 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: little bit of a rebuild. Why not make this season 807 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 1: totally bizarre and strange for the Jets fans. You got 808 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: you cut Reeves, you cut some other junk players on 809 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: that team. You got some money to spend. You go out. 810 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: None of these guys are gonna break the bank, at 811 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,919 Speaker 1: least most of them. Here's what you do. You sign 812 00:41:54,320 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: Kenny Britt, Kenny Stills, Ken dill Wright, and and you 813 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: sign Brandon Myers, Brandon Marshall. You bring him back, whatever 814 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 1: sort is the under contract, bring him back, you keep 815 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,879 Speaker 1: him on the roster. You get Brandon Lafel, you get 816 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: Brandon Tate, and you take Brandon bold And away from 817 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots he's a free agent. And then you just 818 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: line up your offense with Kenny's all over the field 819 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: and Brandon's all over the field, and the Patriots in 820 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: Week one, or like, I got Kenny, which Kenny? That Kenny, 821 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 1: there's three Kenny's. No one knows what's going on. There's 822 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,399 Speaker 1: I got Brandon. He's in the backfield, but there's four 823 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: other Brandon spreading in the formation. And the Jets have 824 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: it's the k brand kids offense. You just send defenses 825 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: into total hyper confusion, and you score at least two 826 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: extra touchdowns a game by keeping the defense in absolute 827 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 1: they're commistified. I've cost you that much money, it's it's 828 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: stupid and insane, but it would be potentially fun. And 829 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: there's Jets fans are not gonna have a lot of 830 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: fun next year unless we signed every Brandon and every 831 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: Ken in the snaps left for Eric Decker and Quincy 832 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: at noon wat. But but if they changed their name 833 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: Kenny Decker that was surprised to see Brandon so so heavily. 834 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: I'll agree to this on one condition. That week one 835 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 1: halftime ring of Honor Ken O'Brien, Oh, let you go 836 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: see with with Kenny Albert announcing the game. All right, 837 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,479 Speaker 1: that was fun. I had fun there. Ring of Honor 838 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: Ken O'Brien would be, you know, the most desperate desperate 839 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 1: moves since they gave Shane Graham a one day contract 840 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati on Tuesday, which was the most most desperate 841 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: moves since the Jaguars gave Paul Spicer a one day 842 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 1: That's the one day contract Hall of Fame Paul Spicer. 843 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,919 Speaker 1: Was that the one where they had the marching band 844 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: in the in the room was now, wait are you 845 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: thinking of Jordan Gross? You got in trouble with Panthers 846 00:43:54,120 --> 00:44:00,280 Speaker 1: fans on that one. That was a gross up. All right, Finally, 847 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit, UH, little Tony Romo talk. 848 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,839 Speaker 1: I mixed a cupcake and a brownie. I'm calling it 849 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: a crownie. Uh. Tony Romo UH is most likely going 850 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 1: to be a free agent, in case you haven't heard, 851 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: but he could also be traded. So Chris Westling took 852 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: all the information. He added his fingertips, and he looked 853 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 1: back into the history of the NFL and also looked 854 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: into the future. He went in all directions the time 855 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: space continuum. Uh. To bring us a piece as I 856 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: look forward in my papers headline ranking the potential landing 857 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: spots for Tony Romo and west Uh, you brought up 858 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: a I thought a really solid comparison. Not that it's 859 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: it's exactly apples to apples, But after Brett Farve and 860 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: the Packers had their breakup and bred far and the 861 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: Packers and Tony Romo and the Cowboys both are completely 862 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: synonymous with each other. And Uh, it was not easy 863 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: to get Brett Farve out of Green Bay, but they 864 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,360 Speaker 1: did it, but it was a messy ending to the 865 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,959 Speaker 1: end of his tenure. And maybe that happens with Romo too. 866 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,720 Speaker 1: There are some similarities they're about the same age. People 867 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 1: forget that. If Brett Farve had not torn his biceps 868 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 1: and played through that injury at the end of the 869 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 1: year and basically sabotaged the Jets season, they were a 870 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: legitimate threat for the Super Bowl that year eight and three. 871 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 1: After beating the Patriots without Tom Brady out for the 872 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: season with an a C. L called my dad after 873 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 1: the game. I said, Dad, this is it. We're gonna 874 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,280 Speaker 1: do it. And then he had that secret biceps injury 875 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 1: that which he played through, and he played terribly through it. 876 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if you give him credit for that, 877 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,399 Speaker 1: but I thought it was a little selfish. They weren't 878 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,320 Speaker 1: gonna It's not like Kellen Clemens was going to take them. 879 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: It's up to them to benjam It's not his fault 880 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 1: he wants to keep playing. Brett, Yeah, Brett Farve, he 881 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 1: was a team first guy all the way in his career. 882 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 1: The comparison I made it was because there was a 883 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 1: lot of back channel maneuvering. Brett Farve wanted to go 884 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: the Vikings. The Packers wouldn't let him, so he said, 885 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: I want to go to the Lions. They're not going 886 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: to compete with you atop the a f C or 887 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 1: NFC North Packers wouldn't let him go there. It was 888 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: either the Jets of the Bucks. Farv wanted to go 889 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: to the Bucks. Packers said no, we like the Jets 890 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: package better. Bus Cook far As agent called Mike Tannenbaum, 891 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: who was the Jets general manager at the time. It's like, 892 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,879 Speaker 1: you're making a big mistake. This wasn't smart at all. 893 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,720 Speaker 1: Far's not coming to New York. And to Tannonbob's credit, 894 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: he went through with it anyway and and forced the 895 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,720 Speaker 1: trade to happen. I'm not saying the relationship between Romo 896 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are that contentious, but if you're looking 897 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: for a reason why a trade would happen instead of 898 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 1: a release, all of these last minute surprises or back 899 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 1: channel maneuvering between agents and teams, who knows what could 900 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,920 Speaker 1: happen between now and March nine. The I agree, and 901 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: yet I don't see the team that's gotta like it. 902 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: Basically would be all the teams sort of have to 903 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 1: call the Cowboys bluff and just wait for them to 904 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,840 Speaker 1: release him. And I don't see the team that's gonna 905 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 1: jump off of that be Like, actually, we will give you. 906 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: That would be the comparison that no one saw the 907 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: Jets as team that was going for far. They had 908 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 1: Pennington at the time. The Chiefs are the team. To me, 909 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,319 Speaker 1: I think that makes the most sense to just come 910 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: out of nowhere as a surprise. But you know, you 911 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 1: gotta make sure you close that deal and you get 912 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,799 Speaker 1: rid of Alexman. It's a whole at the whole thing. 913 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,359 Speaker 1: So looking at West's list, you have, let's start there 914 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 1: at number three, right in the middle of this here 915 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 1: you have the Chiefs as so would this be that 916 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: would make them the third most likely destination? Is that 917 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 1: the way to look at this um were the Chiefs 918 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 1: who have Alex Smith in the building. Everything we're hearing 919 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 1: West about the Chiefs is that they're they're comfortable with 920 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 1: Alex Smith. They still think he's the guy. But still 921 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,880 Speaker 1: this is a special situation. Something isn't adding up, and 922 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,799 Speaker 1: it's maybe it's Andy Reid's history of bold face line 923 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 1: when it comes to cool quarterbacks to go in front 924 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: of press conference and say McNab's my guy, and then 925 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 1: go with vic Or to say Cobbs my guy, and 926 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 1: go with vic Or to say this and then trade guys. 927 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 1: Andy Reid has lied consistently about his quarterback situation lies 928 00:47:58,080 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: and he has come out and said, there is no 929 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,959 Speaker 1: question Alex Smith is my starting quarterback. He has double 930 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: and John Dorsey has come out and said Alex Smith 931 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 1: is our starter. But every single NFL insider is lining 932 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: up to put Romo in the Chiefs as a marriage 933 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,760 Speaker 1: that could happen. And I think most of it probably 934 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 1: is coming from Romo's list that is circulating that the Texans, Broncos, 935 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,759 Speaker 1: and Chiefs and the Cardinals were on his list. Those 936 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: four teams have always been on his list, according to 937 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,360 Speaker 1: the insiders. I just don't see the Chiefs as a 938 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: serious can You're gonna four years into Andy Reid's offense, 939 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,400 Speaker 1: Alex Smith has I think Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers 940 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: the only quarterbacks with more wins since two thousand eleven. 941 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,319 Speaker 1: No matter if if Smith's ceiling is limited or not, 942 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna risk alienating him or cutting him all together 943 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 1: to bringing a guy who's one hit from retirement. I 944 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,359 Speaker 1: just don't see that. Addie Nup, you said the right 945 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: word risk. Of all the teams on this list, it's 946 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 1: the Chiefs that would take a tremendous risk by doing this, 947 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: and then of course Alex Smith gets dispatched somewhere else 948 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: and three weeks into the season you're potentially out with it. 949 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,399 Speaker 1: We can't predict injuries, but Romo has done this time 950 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 1: and time again, and it would look awful for that 951 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 1: organization to get to get rid of Smith. Have Romo 952 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 1: come in and get hurt in August or some practice 953 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 1: and suddenly you've gotten nothing. That's I mean, you can 954 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: say that for any team that brings in Romo, but 955 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 1: they wouldn't have the lodge of not the Bears, right, 956 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: but they were right, they wouldn't have I'm saying Romo 957 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: is a massive injury risk for anything. That's risk getting 958 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 1: rid of a guy who's giving you the best record 959 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Since Week seven of two thousand fifteen, 960 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have the best record in the NFL with 961 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 1: Alex Smith as their quarterback. Right, But we're playing both 962 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,760 Speaker 1: sides of the fence a little because we always knock 963 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 1: them for not having to say defense. We're saying, in 964 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,359 Speaker 1: this situation, Romo is too big of a risk. I 965 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: like the idea of trying to upgrade on Alex Smith, 966 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 1: but a guy who's one hit away from retirement, isn't 967 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 1: the upgrade? All right, Let's move to number two on 968 00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,440 Speaker 1: West's list, and this is this is the team you've 969 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 1: heard Romo connected to the most, and really going back 970 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 1: to last year when Dak Prescott was locked in as 971 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,839 Speaker 1: the starter, the Denver Broncos, because we know that they 972 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,759 Speaker 1: have history with this type of situation, an older quarterback 973 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,520 Speaker 1: uh and Peyton Manning in the case of season being 974 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 1: a part of a loaded defense team with a loaded 975 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 1: defense and taking him to the Promised Land. This one 976 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 1: checks a lot of boxes. Mark, Why wouldn't it happen? 977 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: I think because it doesn't have to with Denver. You've 978 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,400 Speaker 1: people that watch Trevor Simeon versus just the name Trevor Simeon, 979 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 1: like his game and see there's a reason to stick 980 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,600 Speaker 1: around there with him. And you've got Paxton Lynch, who's 981 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 1: the first round quarterback waiting in the wings. You don't 982 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 1: have to chase Romo or a veteran in general, the 983 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 1: way that they semi courted Colin Kaepernick last year when 984 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 1: there was literally nothing at the position. Well, here's my 985 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: counter to that is that you know Romo, if he's healthy, 986 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,400 Speaker 1: would be a huge lift to that offense, where Simeon 987 00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,319 Speaker 1: a guy that showed some promise, and Lynch, who's a 988 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 1: total mystery at this point. Every team has Super Bowl 989 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: windows that are only so so large. They have a 990 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 1: big window right now to go into. I think it 991 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: makes sense. It's just that's why it wouldn't happen, because 992 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to. But yeah, if you want to 993 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,919 Speaker 1: plug Romo into that, what that's still it would still 994 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,040 Speaker 1: have on defense, and it's also and it's also a 995 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 1: different offense, so it's Trevor Simmeon in a different offense. 996 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: It's Paxton Lynch learning the new offense. You know, I 997 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,360 Speaker 1: don't know if Tony Romo, if they think he's a 998 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,239 Speaker 1: great fit for that or not. I think it makes 999 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:27,759 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. They would be number one on 1000 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,160 Speaker 1: my list partly because they don't need him, because they 1001 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,920 Speaker 1: don't have to do it quickly that they can wait 1002 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,800 Speaker 1: this thing out. It might take a little bit of time. 1003 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 1: And they don't have a lot of money at quarterback. 1004 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 1: And that's the difference between them in Houston, which you 1005 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 1: have number one. They just don't you know, they're not 1006 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 1: already paiding paying the quarterback it's nice for them that 1007 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 1: they're fine as they are and they could easily fit 1008 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 1: Romo in there. I think if they needed to, and 1009 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 1: if it dragged on for a while, whether it's a 1010 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 1: trade or release and everything, we know he wants to 1011 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 1: go there. I think everyone's trying to figure out why 1012 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,320 Speaker 1: John Elway isn't gung ho about Tony Romo. And I 1013 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 1: think John Elway watched his offensive line last year. That's 1014 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,240 Speaker 1: a recipe for disaster putting Tony Romo behind that offensive line. 1015 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:14,160 Speaker 1: And I honestly think John Elway he likes not having 1016 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 1: to pay a quarterback. He's built his roster now where 1017 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 1: he pays his defense instead of his quarterback. Is a 1018 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 1: good point because Tony Romo, I don't know he was 1019 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,880 Speaker 1: ready to pay Brock sixteen million. I think you pay 1020 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 1: him if you get a guy Tony Romo cannot stay 1021 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,440 Speaker 1: healthy behind the best offensive line in the league, and 1022 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,879 Speaker 1: then you would put him in what maybe at bottom ten, 1023 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 1: bottom fifteen, bottom five offensive line last year, see to 1024 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: see what happens. And you know, I think the Houston Texans, Yeah, 1025 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,560 Speaker 1: you have them at number one here Wes and and 1026 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: they they if you want to make the analogy with 1027 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 1: UM with the Brett Farve situation there in the Minnesota Vikings. 1028 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:51,320 Speaker 1: Because Jared Jones does not want Tony Romo to stay 1029 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 1: in Texas and go to another that's a little overplayed. 1030 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,399 Speaker 1: See I don't I think have Brock or Tony Romo 1031 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,399 Speaker 1: in Houston and then in the NFC. I don't know, 1032 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 1: I don't. That's the one one organization in the one 1033 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,279 Speaker 1: owner where I wonder if that's true. I mean, I 1034 00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't want them sitting in there. He doesn't want 1035 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: to go to the NFC East or a team that's 1036 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 1: truly competitor. I get that aren't even like Dallas's competition. 1037 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:23,040 Speaker 1: It would be as far as Texas fandom would be 1038 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,240 Speaker 1: inside of Texas if Romo suddenly went that's a huge 1039 00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:30,839 Speaker 1: story super Bowl Tony Romo and there Tony Romo. Oh. 1040 00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:35,120 Speaker 1: I think Jerry Jones behind really likes Tony Romo, and 1041 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 1: I really think he doesn't want him in the NFC. 1042 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the Houston thing, but it's 1043 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 1: also when you hear these reports like it would be 1044 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 1: a quick commute and it'd be great for Tony, Like, yeah, 1045 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 1: that's great for Tony Romo. Tony Romo ifn't necessarily choosing 1046 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 1: his destination. We know this is coming from Tony Romo. 1047 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 1: Does Bob McNair, who just gave is literally paying brock 1048 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 1: Oswellerer sixteen million dollars in cash this year no matter what, 1049 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 1: is he trusting the decision makers who just convinced you know, 1050 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,360 Speaker 1: we're part of that decision to bring an Osweller. Okay, 1051 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 1: go pay another fifteen or sixteen people are acting like 1052 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 1: fitting that all under the cap is easy, Okay, making 1053 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,600 Speaker 1: a sentence. I think you can. I think Tony Romo 1054 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 1: has made enough money where he's reached the point in 1055 00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 1: his life where he's only playing for I've i've I 1056 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: think you can get him to accept eight or nine 1057 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,840 Speaker 1: million or what there's been talking from from you know, 1058 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 1: the insiders and whatnot, that he wants a raise, he 1059 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 1: wants more money. I don't think he's taken a dot. 1060 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,919 Speaker 1: I don't think Romo, if this is your last couple 1061 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: of chances to make money, and that's I mean, you 1062 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: have to have a priority. What is your priority, winning 1063 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: a championship or make money? I think if it's make money, 1064 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,839 Speaker 1: then then you can't take the position that you don't 1065 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,760 Speaker 1: want to play for the Bears or Bills or rebuilding 1066 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,560 Speaker 1: team that is probably think you could do both. He 1067 00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 1: probably thinks he can make money and pick a contender 1068 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,200 Speaker 1: or get to it. And maybe we have no idea. 1069 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 1: We're obviously just guessing. I don't know how Bob McNair 1070 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,399 Speaker 1: and Rick Smith, but especially Bob McNair feels about that. 1071 00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 1: It's just an extraordinary example that you can't find really 1072 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 1: another that ever happening in NFL history, that they're paying 1073 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,399 Speaker 1: two guys at the exact same position top level money. 1074 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't expect him to pay Romo top level money. 1075 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,800 Speaker 1: He's not. He's making if he's starting, he's making fifteen 1076 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: million games. Even if he doesn't change his salary. He's 1077 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,280 Speaker 1: one of the lowest page starting quarterbacks in the NFL. 1078 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 1: And also, you haven't seen this in history because the 1079 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,279 Speaker 1: NFL salary cap has never been one hundred sixty eight 1080 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,759 Speaker 1: million dollars. They they're a little tighter to the cap 1081 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,239 Speaker 1: than That's one advantaged Denver and I guess you know 1082 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,360 Speaker 1: Buffalo and other teams have is the Texans are a 1083 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 1: little tighter to the cap even even despite you know, 1084 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,200 Speaker 1: even if you ignore that Oswalders getting on that. By 1085 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: the way, Dan, it was only about eighty two days 1086 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,880 Speaker 1: ago that Greg released his Tony Romo's post Cowboys landing spots. 1087 00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 1: Now West has one in the books that means that 1088 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,279 Speaker 1: this drags you and I. You and I will be 1089 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,239 Speaker 1: next lone of us will be right in the next 1090 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,759 Speaker 1: version of this. It's gonna be happy happening, and it is. 1091 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: Speaking of Tony Romo, Mark, you said all the things 1092 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 1: you're excited about to cover this offseason, and you you 1093 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:07,040 Speaker 1: pointed out that Tony Romo you were not excited. I 1094 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,320 Speaker 1: think was the wording that was written. So this segment 1095 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 1: has probably been pretty tough on you know. I think 1096 00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:14,399 Speaker 1: this was handled with class um and I think I'll 1097 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 1: tell you what else. If if he goes to a 1098 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,640 Speaker 1: team that makes a boring team exciting, that's good for everyone. 1099 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't want it to be this. There's ways it 1100 00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 1: could be very tedious. The way they covered Tony Romo 1101 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 1: breathlessly from the sideline during every Cowboys game last season, 1102 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,800 Speaker 1: that's what come over that. I'm over that as well. 1103 00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,240 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and uh West. You could check out West's 1104 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,799 Speaker 1: uh piece at NFL dot com slash Westling you want 1105 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 1: to see the whole list. Is there anything else you 1106 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 1: wanted to add West that we haven't touched on before 1107 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,359 Speaker 1: we go? Despite Greg's efforts to the contrary, I'm kind 1108 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,960 Speaker 1: of love that. I love that qualifier. Go. I'm kind 1109 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,800 Speaker 1: of excited about the state of quarterback play in the NFL. 1110 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,000 Speaker 1: You know, Greg's trying to get Nick Foles and Mike 1111 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 1: Glennon jobs. I'm trying to get Tony Romo and Jimmy 1112 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 1: Garoppolo job after they didn't really add on a limb 1113 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:06,440 Speaker 1: of course they're having on the point is hate mark. 1114 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,440 Speaker 1: You take those two and then you throw in Jake 1115 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,640 Speaker 1: Cutler is one of the top thirty quarterbacks in the NFL. 1116 00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:12,759 Speaker 1: Three guys who didn't start last year. You throw them 1117 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 1: onto new teams. Maybe we'll see he's twenty five. In 1118 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 1: your piece, he dropped five spots. Yeah, I can't. I 1119 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 1: can't stomach him in the top five spots. Since what's today? 1120 00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: Today's the twenty one? You wrote this on the tent 1121 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 1: he dropped. Where will it be a month from now? 1122 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,400 Speaker 1: Tyrode to Tyrode could be changed. I mean, you're not 1123 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 1: adding him to the mix, but I think he could 1124 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,920 Speaker 1: be changing I still think the Bills have a d 1125 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,439 Speaker 1: have a better chance than people think. For Romo would 1126 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:46,520 Speaker 1: be their chances at zero point zero, then the Jets 1127 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,680 Speaker 1: are truly in the nether world. So you think only 1128 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 1: three teams even have a chance because you think Romo 1129 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 1: is going anywhere whether you're not a contender, and I 1130 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 1: don't think the Bills are close to being a content. 1131 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 1: I hate the idea of watching Tony Romo on a cold, 1132 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 1: uh early October day in western New York, lying on 1133 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,920 Speaker 1: the turf writhing for a two and six Bills team. 1134 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,440 Speaker 1: It's I just you know, yeah, you're Tony Romo. You've 1135 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,440 Speaker 1: got I think Tony Romo has been his like number 1136 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,560 Speaker 1: one move. You got one or two years left in 1137 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 1: the NFL, and you're gonna purposely go to the Patriots division. 1138 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 1: My my, my thought is we don't. There's many different 1139 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,040 Speaker 1: possibilities here. I don't you think one of them is 1140 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 1: that Tony Romo doesn't really have many options that he 1141 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 1: has to choose between bad options because I think the 1142 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 1: retirement is a much preferable I think that a trump card. 1143 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 1: Um do you you never go full Rex, which is 1144 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 1: you have the choice to get out of Tom Brady's division, 1145 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,360 Speaker 1: and you stay in that, you don't go, you don't go. Alright, 1146 00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 1: before we go, let's check behind the glass and check 1147 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,440 Speaker 1: in with Kevin Danger hands Us. And we've been speculating 1148 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 1: where will Tony Romo end up? But now Kevin hands 1149 00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 1: Us behind the glass will give us the definitive answer 1150 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 1: where Romo play football? If at all? In let's get 1151 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:18,200 Speaker 1: a little uh timpani drum, Tony Romo we'll play for 1152 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. That is a shocker, that makes that 1153 00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 1: is fascinating. Wow, how about that? Talk about the US 1154 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:35,160 Speaker 1: over the danger. You're sure of this with great confidence. 1155 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 1: I can say everyone's gonna think you actually talk like that. 1156 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 1: That's fine. No, I can say with confidence that Tony 1157 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:46,400 Speaker 1: Romo will play for Cincinnati Bengals. I'm looking for to 1158 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,320 Speaker 1: put a sandwich on that. I want to put a 1159 00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 1: sandwich on that. I'm looking like to live in a 1160 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:54,520 Speaker 1: world where there are no repercussions. I'm looking forward to, 1161 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 1: uh the Romo Dalton Bengals Brown's matchup this year. That 1162 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 1: would be good. Oh Dalton starting for the Brown. Oh yeah, 1163 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 1: of course he was gonna burn all trickle down effects. Absolutely, Wow, 1164 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,880 Speaker 1: there you go. That was quite a bold prediction that 1165 01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 1: actually would be fascinating and makes sense. And if he 1166 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,320 Speaker 1: gets it right, none of us in this room ever 1167 01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 1: right a Landing Spots column ever again, we just sent 1168 01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,360 Speaker 1: it right to danger. No, we just set up a 1169 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,919 Speaker 1: studio in Kevin's Brooklyn apartment and he does the show 1170 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,680 Speaker 1: from that one. I loved that Mark has found logic 1171 01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:30,120 Speaker 1: in dangerous prediction. Why not talk about a team that 1172 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:33,120 Speaker 1: needs they could they could say we got Tony Romo. 1173 01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 1: It puts this Bengals team that's always on the fringe 1174 01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,200 Speaker 1: right over the time about and Andy Dalton is such 1175 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,640 Speaker 1: a nice guy, he won't pout about it. I say, 1176 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,680 Speaker 1: you keep him there as your backup. Romo's that. Let's 1177 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,720 Speaker 1: say Romo stays healthy, you're flying. You're flying to the 1178 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,520 Speaker 1: super Bowl in Minneapolis. And if he, if he doesn't 1179 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,160 Speaker 1: stay healthy, you got older. They got the glowing ginger 1180 01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,480 Speaker 1: man coming off the bench. And still you'll lose a 1181 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,520 Speaker 1: playoff game in January, but you still have a nice season. 1182 01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:00,400 Speaker 1: So we're talking ourselves into this. Kevin had with a 1183 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,400 Speaker 1: lot of let's not point out that, you know, Tony 1184 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 1: Room has barely been able to stay on the field 1185 01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 1: for two straight years. Dalton has been a quarterback lands 1186 01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 1: somewhere that no one predicted around here. They do have 1187 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,280 Speaker 1: a lot of cap room and they have an owner 1188 01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:16,960 Speaker 1: has been known to do some unusual things. Danger had 1189 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 1: a premonition and we'll see if it will see if 1190 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,120 Speaker 1: it plays out. All right, that's UH Tuesday Show.
