00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: had on my show before, but I've been friends with

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: for a long time. Uh. If you've played fantasy football

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: for any number of years, you have come across his content,

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: You've come across his happy, smiling, often shouting face. Uh.

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: It is the one and only Brad Evans. I don't

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: even know how to introduce you, so I will say, Brad, Uh,

00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: you have you have had some life changes recently, So

00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: tell folks what what exactly you are up to nowadays. Yeah,

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: I'm kind of just floating out there in ether. Marcus

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: that thanks for having me on. And as you could tell,

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm a very sheepish fellow. I'm the person that just

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: you know at the house party stands next to the

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: keg and I want nothing to do with the dance

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: floor at all. Um No. So it has been a

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: coming upside down um you know, off season for me.

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: I started a company a year ago called Faith Noise

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: f TM for short star with a couple of people

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: that I knew in the industry. We were able to

28
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: recruit grow it out in the middle of a damn pandemic.

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Had a tremendous amount of success doing so. Uh. And

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: then I decided to sell off my steak and pursue

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: other paths and that happened like a month ago. Meanwhile,

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: I started another company with my buddy Toby Murgler. I

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: will also overseas most media that's cousins house business and

34
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, the podcast company. We were able to broker

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: a partnership with Series x M that has grown by

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: leaps and bounds. So Toby and I are still a

37
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: business together and doing and really trying to take it

38
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: to the next level. Uh. And then I moved and

39
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: stupidly from beautiful Denver, Colorado, where the dispensaries are a plenty.

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: The crisp Mountain Air is absolutely fantastic. The scenery is amazing.

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: There's no humidity. There are very few bugs, which is

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: what I like. You don't get swampy in the nether regions.

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 1: There is no gold bond needed. Uh in places where

44
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: the sun don't shine. And I decided to move back

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: to central Illinois to be close to my family. Amidst

46
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: the giant sized mosquitoes, insects, I can't even decipher what

47
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: the heck they are, the heat, the humidity. But I'm

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: back and I'm close with my mom and my sister.

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: And I made that cross country road trip. And let

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: me tell you, between Denver and Kansas City, Uh, if

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: you want to go somewhere when the zombie apocalypse hits,

52
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: just go somewhere in eastern Colorado or western Kansas. There's nothing,

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: no civilization for miles. I was gonna say that stretched

54
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: between like you know, uh, Passo in like Houston, it's

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: probably another spot to where you can go. Done that nobody,

56
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna find you. Nobody, nobody's gonna find you. But

57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: there is water at least in eastern Colorado. In West Kansas,

58
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: you make that trip in the Panhandle of Texas, and

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: you know, like you can get a little dacy out

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: there and the western part of the desert, no, no

61
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: doubt about it. So I mean, how is life back

62
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: closer to sea level now? Well, I can tell you

63
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: this my workouts. You know, I haven't been huffing and

64
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: puffing as much, So there is something to the altitude.

65
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was just a giant load of poppy cock.

66
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: But bs, you know, because they always played up at

67
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: Mile High Stadium. When you're you know, go to a

68
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Broncos game, you're at fives or water and if it

69
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: can you feel a chargers can you feel it? You know,

70
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: they'll blast it over the p a and all that.

71
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, I'm not feeling anything. Uh. And then

72
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: you come to sea level and you gonna work out

73
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: in you know, like you banged out a couple of

74
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: miles on the treadmill the other day. I'm like, I'm

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: not nearly as winded as I recall. And and then

76
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: I imbibe like a case of beer over the weekend.

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, I should be in a different state of

78
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: mind right now, and I feel actually pretty good. Like

79
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: there's something to this sea level elevation. So yeah, it's

80
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: a little lot, but I've rented my game up in

81
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: multiple areas as a result. So, I mean you're talking

82
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: about all the things. You know that the move from FTN,

83
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: the move from Colorado back to Illinois. You are you

84
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: have always been a hustler in the best sense of

85
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: the word, right, You always being Larry Flint. Yeah, Yeah,

86
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: we're Yeah, we're on the same man, We're on the

87
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: same The difference is you don't have a giant building

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: on Lasanega Boulevard in Beverly Hills. That's not the only

89
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: thing that separates the two of you, really, I mean,

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: what is what is sort of next for you? You

91
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: always seem to have something go. I mean you mentioned

92
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: the serious XM stuff. I know there's something big. There's

93
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: always something big coming for brad Evans. Yeah. Look, I've

94
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: been extremely flatter without really kind of showing my hand here.

95
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: I've been approached by a number of different companies over

96
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: the last about seventy two hours, and uh, it's unbelievable

97
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: the reception I've received from people according services and say, hey,

98
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: what are you up to? What are you doing? I

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: do have some things that works. I do have some

100
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: projects that have been kicking around in my reptilian sized

101
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: brain for the last several months that I would like

102
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: to get launched on television and video. Uh, you know,

103
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: along with the usual nonsense that I crank out there

104
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: in my flames and lanes and a lot of the

105
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: crossover pieces with the sports betting universe. So there will

106
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: be much to see, much too, probably dissect and throw

107
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: rotten cabbage at when it comes to Brad Evans here

108
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: at the very near future. You can count on that. Yeah,

109
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: I am somebody doesn't like to sit on idle hands.

110
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: You know. My wife has always said, you know, I'm

111
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: forty three years old, Marcus, you know, about the same age,

112
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: and she's like, you know, when we retired, and I'm like, retire,

113
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: why would I do that? Like I would have nothing

114
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: to do? Am I just gonna sit around to crossword

115
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: puzzles and and sip on on you a hoo all day?

116
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: Then again, I mean there are some benefits to that.

117
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: She might be onnest something market. Yeah. Um. So part

118
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: of why I wanted to talk to you, part of

119
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: why I always enjoyed talking to you, is because you

120
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: are very forward thinking. You always have been very forward

121
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: thinking when it comes to this industry. And for somebody

122
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: like you who has gone from working with with legacy

123
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: media companies, I mean most recently, you're at Yahoo before

124
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: the FTN thing than doing a startup thing. Um, where

125
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: do you see the future of fantasy content? Because look,

126
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: if you would have told me ten years ago when

127
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: I first started this job, that that fantasy content would

128
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: be as widespread as it is now, I was certainly

129
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: naive to that. I think you probably would have bought

130
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: into it. But where do we go from here now?

131
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: With so many people doing this, Well, look, I think

132
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: this is a a second gold rush of sorts for

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: the entire game vacation wing the sports media content industry,

134
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: and it's a wonderful time for all of us that

135
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: are involved in it because engagement label levels are you know, skyrocketing,

136
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: and because of past but dying and falling by the wayside,

137
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: there are more and more companies coming in with just

138
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: extremely extraordinarily deep pockets that are willing to spend and

139
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: try to convert uh fantasy players in a traditional sports

140
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: betting So what it creates is a hybrid model of

141
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: sorts where you know, developing content to tap into those

142
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,239
Speaker 1: mindsets of the sports better and also the fantasy player

143
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: and blending the two together and kind of a beautiful

144
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: symphony of content is what everybody is trying to achieve

145
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: right now. And that's the gold standard role trying to

146
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: strike in this new found era of sports media consumption.

147
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: So as you know, traditional sports media is, you know,

148
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: is it dying Maybe slowly it is. You know, you've

149
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: seen it at major media companies, you know, siphoning off

150
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: some of the talent, releasing some not paying people as

151
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 1: much as they used to make a peak, you know, ten, fifteen,

152
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Uh, And what you're seeing is that

153
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: is essentially pointing to how people are consuming that constant.

154
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: So you know, think about guys like you and I, Marcus.

155
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: You know, we're in our early forties, We've been in

156
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: this game for a long time, and there are a

157
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: number of poll that you know, we're spending money in

158
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: our industry that our content consumers that grew up fantasy players,

159
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: they've been playing fantasy for twenty thirty years in many cases,

160
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: so their education in sports meta consumption is often in fantasy.

161
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: So again, that engagement level is so critical to you know,

162
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: keeping all the boats afloat, if you will, in the

163
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: sports mean the industry, and I think what you're seeing now,

164
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, people like us that have climbed the ladder

165
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,119
Speaker 1: and people that are in a similar position but behind

166
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: the scenes, that are in a similar age, they understand

167
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: the importance of gamification content because it continues to being

168
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: bring people back to the trough to feed from it,

169
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: whether through broadcasts like this, whether through written content, whether

170
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: through podcasts, whatever it may be. And that's where all

171
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: the investment is going. So it's a very very exciting

172
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: time because I think finally the spotlight has cast on

173
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: numb skulls like us who have been in this so

174
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: racket for a long time, who kind of played second fiddle,

175
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: but now we've become more mainstream, and that's why it's

176
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: so exciting. One of the things you talked about, which

177
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: are starting to go hand in hand is the sports

178
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: betting aspect of it right like we are. We are

179
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: melding the fantasy part in the sports betting part. And

180
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: I know you have been someone long who was championed uh,

181
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, having at first fantasy analysts, but now sports

182
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: betting analysts and really integrating them into pregame shows and

183
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: more sports coverage. We're starting to see it a little bit.

184
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean you're seeing you watch the crawl, you watch Ticker,

185
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: you see you see lines, and you see these sorts

186
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: of things popping up. But how close are we do

187
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: you think to say legacy networks and just sports networks

188
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: in general, fully embracing it in the way that that

189
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: I know you've dreamed about. I think we're at the

190
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: precipice right now, and and I think what's gonna force

191
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: to hand. It's just the the injection of cash from somebody,

192
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: the sports betting entities that are out there, and it's

193
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: just a rat race right now. You know, everybody's jocking

194
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: for position, everybody's jocking for power Draft Kings and Fandal

195
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: got such a leg up and everybody is in the

196
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: industry because of DFS, and then they were able to

197
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: convert those players into traditional sports betting and they had

198
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: established brands. So the bet MGMs of the world, the

199
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: points bets of the world, Um, you know, Caesar's is

200
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: really gonna start entering the mix here are hot and

201
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: heavy and short order. You know, it's just all this

202
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: cash and this river of money being pumped in to

203
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: media content where I think it's it's going to you know,

204
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: necessitate a lot of executive producers, a lot of executives

205
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: behind the scenes to say, all right, we gotta go

206
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: all in on this. We just can't put a toe

207
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: in the water. We got a cannonball splash into this pool.

208
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: So I think what you're gonna see. And you know

209
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: I've said this before, I think a lot of you know,

210
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: NFL pregame shows in particular, you could really apply this

211
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: to many pregame shows in any sport. They have really

212
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: not evolved you think about it. You know, some have

213
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: and some have try do things like the NBA stuff

214
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: on TNT with Charles and Kenny and Shack. I mean

215
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: it's it's comedy with a little bit of analysis mixed in,

216
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: and they kind of change the game with their personalities.

217
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: But and they do have some sports spending content in there.

218
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: You know, Chuck offers a lot of picks, and you know,

219
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of fading and following that goes a

220
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: lot more, probably more fading than following. But you know,

221
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have to see some of that,

222
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: uh embedded into existing NFL pregame shows instead of just

223
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: the standard Hey, I'm a former player Hey, I'm gonna

224
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: speak in cliches. Hey. Uh. We also have fantasy players. Hey,

225
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: we also have sports bettors who are watching this, and

226
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: it's probably the majority of the audience that would be

227
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: consuming that content. You uh uh. And I think you're

228
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: gonna see more and more of that interwoven into existing

229
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: legacy programming that's out there. But it needs to evolve.

230
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: It's time for all of us to pull our knuckles

231
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: off the ground and start really embracing gamification because it's

232
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: here and it's not going anywhere, uh during our lifetimes anyway,

233
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: Marcus Well, and I think I think what's going to

234
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: sort of push this and correct me if I'm wrong.

235
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: I feel like having so many other for lack of

236
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: a better term, startups right, having all the other sort

237
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: of independ didn't site sort of pop up, I feel

238
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: like it's going to push some of the more some

239
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: of the bigger media companies into doing it right because

240
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: some of these other smaller companies can be more nimble,

241
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: they can create, be more creative, they can try more things,

242
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: but they're also going to capture an audience that I

243
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: think people are going to need. If if you are

244
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: if you are an an NBC and ABC, a NFL network. Yeah,

245
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: they're going to capture some of those people that you need.

246
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: So maybe this is the thing where some of these

247
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: smaller guys kind of push, uh, push the envelope and

248
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: force some of these bigger companies to kind of get

249
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: on board a little bit faster. Yeah, that's where the

250
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: innovation is really happening right now. Right that is the

251
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: the laboratory are a lot of these mom and pop sites,

252
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: the startups. I was a part of that world. You know,

253
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: that is where things were beginning to incubate and eventually

254
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: it will you know, hatch the shell and and grow

255
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: up into hopefully a beastly endeavor for all parties. So,

256
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of m and a merger

257
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: and acquisition that's going on in the industry right now.

258
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: It's slowed a little bit here as the mercury is

259
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: has been rising during the summer months, but I fully

260
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: expected to ramp back up probably in the early fall,

261
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: and especially in Q one of two. So there's gonna

262
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: be a lot of companies that are gonna get plucked trying,

263
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, to satisfy the needs of this nascent and

264
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: growing audience and to satisfy those appetites. But you know,

265
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: the one thing I think it's gonna be really important

266
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: and what people really need to understand what's going to

267
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: work best and what's going to sell best in this marketplace.

268
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: It's not how many units gained you have, because there

269
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: are a lot of people out there. There's an educational

270
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: hurdle where we have to you know, go out there

271
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: and tell people, you know, this is what a parley is.

272
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: This is what a side is, This what a total is,

273
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: what a player prop is, This what plus and minus means.

274
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: You know, this is a teaser, this is a round robin.

275
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of educational stuff that's got to go

276
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: into it, uh to bring in the casual audience so

277
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: they don't feel like they're immediately behind the eight ball

278
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: they're being taken advantage of. It's really no different than

279
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: what fantasy was in the early two thousands at the

280
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: advent of the broad and age. You know, with broadband

281
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: really taking off at that point and so many people

282
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: getting access to it a major metropolitan areas. That's what

283
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: exploded fantasy. It was the technology right and having commissioners,

284
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: services and software services out there too, easier run your

285
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: leagues instead of doing it by by you know, a

286
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: hand and pen and paper. You know, I was there.

287
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: I used to do it, you know, every Sunday night

288
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: on a four teen four connection and it would take

289
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: me like seven hours just to pull up the Raiders

290
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: box score to see what Jeff George did in the

291
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: game that day. So you know, it's it's different now.

292
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: Tech is influential still today. Uh and still influential as

293
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: well in the sports benning apps and everything else because

294
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: you can do it from the palm in your hand

295
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: and you've got a sports book right there. And many

296
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: of the states, you know, coming from Colorado, they were

297
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: probably the most progressive state out there. Jersey has been

298
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: very progressive, Illinois somewhat, but you know there's others that

299
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: are coming into the mix. But you know, it's just

300
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: advancing forward and again embracing what audience is demanding. And

301
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: I think it's it's gonna be personality based. You've gotta

302
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: be transparent and your delivery of all this stuff, and

303
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: it's gotta be fair minded. And if you're bringing you know,

304
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: that kind of approach to the gig instead of saying, hey,

305
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: call my one night D number, I got the box

306
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: off the Sextrey. We three of the NFL. It I'll

307
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: take the Houston Texas. No, you don't take the Texas

308
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: for anything. You made the Texans on a right you

309
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: know whatever it is, um, and you just do it

310
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: in a way where hey, I can sweat a game

311
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: out with this person and also have a beer with them.

312
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: That's the approach that we we all really need to

313
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: hammer home because it will help grow and nurture the

314
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: gamification content industry. But we're right there, Marcus, We're right there.

315
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: We just need some major media executives to have some

316
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: wave ofs and put the right people on air. I's funny.

317
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: I've worked in sports radio for a while, so I

318
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: am very familiar with those uh you know, those unnamed

319
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, look at if you work in

320
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: sports radio, at some point, you know they're they're buying

321
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: airtime on your station, uh, to kind of advertise on

322
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: usually on a Saturday morning before college football. I sort

323
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: of thing exactly right there, baby, right before college football

324
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: kicks out for the day. Usually find those sorts of things.

325
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: And I do think it's I think the personality part

326
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: of it is going to be that. And I think, Um,

327
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: one of the things you touched on, which is which

328
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: is what interests me is sort of that education period

329
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: and you talk about it with fantasy and look, I

330
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: say this working for a company where we do admittedly

331
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: get a lot of people who are maybe more casual

332
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: fantasy players or beginning fantasy players and sort of having

333
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: to um break down that wall, that intimidation wall. I know,

334
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: that's sort of a barrier to jury for a lot

335
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: of people feeling like they're the terminology is too dense

336
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: or it is too time consuming, and breaking that down

337
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: and I do think what's gonna be important for both

338
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: fantasy and sports betting once we get there on a

339
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: larger scale. It's sort of making this more accessible to

340
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: people I know, rather folk who are turned off by

341
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: But I just think if we can figure out how

342
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: to make this more excessive bold people, uh, and make

343
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: it more fun and not maybe make it as sleazy

344
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: as it has seemed in the past, I think that

345
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: is maybe the way that to get more people on board,

346
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: and to get maybe more executives on board. No, you're

347
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: exactly right in your in your hammer at home here

348
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: you're preaching the choir. I mean it transparency is everything.

349
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta be honest, You gotta be truthful

350
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: because you know it's got a slimy reputation. You know,

351
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: it's like a back smoke filled room at you know,

352
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: a low budge Vegas casino. You know, we've got to

353
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: get away from those days and we uh yeah, you

354
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: do have to really make the pitch to the casual audience,

355
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: so you know, doing it the right way through you know,

356
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: specific types of content. You can certainly do that, and

357
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: that educational hurdle can be conquered, and it can be

358
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: conquered very easily. It's like you know, most of us

359
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: early on in our fantasy careers, at some point we

360
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: had to learn what PPR meant, you know, and now

361
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: points per reception is so much part of the vernacular

362
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: you don't even think about it anymore, you know, And

363
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: you need to have that same approach of sports betting,

364
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: where you know, minus one twenty automatically equates to something

365
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: in somebody's head and it triggers. Okay, if I put down, um,

366
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, the if it's minus one twenty on the over,

367
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes three hundred point five passing yards against the

368
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: Denver broncos means I put a hundred undred twenty dollars down,

369
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: I get a hundred in return if the over hits.

370
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: You know, just you know, getting people to think that

371
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: way will be a challenge, but it's it's a bunny

372
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: hill on the ski slope, and you know, you just

373
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: gotta have the right people to do it. You gotta

374
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: have the right producers to do with lower thirds and

375
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: constantly educating the things that are coming out of our

376
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: mouths when we drop you know, little tidbits of jargon

377
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: that people may not be familiar with, but it defines

378
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: it at the bottom. It's almos like pop up video.

379
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: It will help people understand and grasp it, and then

380
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years from now, they'll be like,

381
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm an expert and everything. I know exactly

382
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: what you need to do and how you should bet

383
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: this and that and the other thing. So we're getting

384
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: close markets. That's why it's such an exciting time right now.

385
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: If more television was like pop up video like it,

386
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: like I feel like it applies to most things, like

387
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: it worked in most formats. That's all I'm saying. Um,

388
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: all right, so this is a fantasy Football podcast, So

389
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: I guess we should talk a little bit of fantasy football.

390
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: And one of the things I have been doing with

391
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: my guest is just sort of getting a bit of

392
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: of draft strategy here. And I had a question I

393
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: thought was interesting. Heads up to our hats off I

394
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: should say, or hat tip I'll get it right, one

395
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: of those things. Brandon do Bash? Who did ask? And

396
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting question. How do you look

397
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: at strength of schedule? Because like when schedule release happens,

398
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: I know that's the thing everybody looks at his strength

399
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: of schedule when it is sort of based on what

400
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: we saw the previous year, and we know that there

401
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: isn't quite as much trade off or change over from

402
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: one year to the next. Do you wait it a

403
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: lot when you're looking at at who to draft or

404
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: is it just sort of a thing that you take

405
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: note of and maybe don't stress out about a lot.

406
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: You know one of my former colleagues that, yeah, whose

407
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: sports a great Scott Pinowski. You know, he always said,

408
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: do you want your horse to start off fast? You

409
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 1: want to get out of the gate quickly, And instead

410
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 1: we tend to focus on, you know, what the end

411
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: game is gonna look like, well, you gotta get to

412
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: the end game first. You know, we're all is obsessed

413
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: with all this. This guy's fantasy playoff schedule is bananas.

414
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna go off. But by the time you get

415
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: now to what week fourteen, or if you're starting the

416
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: playoffs now week fifteen with the seventeen game slate, you know,

417
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: there's just so much roster turnover due to injury and aptitude, benchings,

418
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, that you know, rosters are completely different,

419
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: much like fantasy rosters often are from the beginning of

420
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: the season. By the time you get to the fantasy

421
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: football playoffs and you know, the latter portion of the

422
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: regular season, so I don't pay any attention to it,

423
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: although you've gotta have the bye week element in there,

424
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: because there's a Week four team by right this this season,

425
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: which is absolutely brutal and killer. Thanks and if we

426
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: appreciate that. But I think there is some truth to

427
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: you know, looking at strength of schedule for the early

428
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: portion of the years. So if you look at leaks

429
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: weeks one through five, you know it does often. You know,

430
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: you can't necessarily change a defense overnight. You can make

431
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: investments in the hope that you can regain some respectability.

432
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: But you know, odds all are the Jacksonville Jaguars defense

433
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: still gonna be a working progress. You know, maybe things

434
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: will will click mid season, maybe some of that young

435
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: talent will meld together and the scheme they'll really absorb

436
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: it and all of a sudden, hey there, gangbusters or

437
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, getting sacks or getting tackles for loss, they're

438
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: forcing turnovers. But chances are it's gonna be a bit

439
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: of a climb to get there. So I usually focus

440
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: on just the first five weeks. Guys that you know

441
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: could potentially start off fast. I mean, you look at

442
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. Uh, they've got a pretty soft schedule

443
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: to begin the year. Anytime you see Houston and in

444
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: early season schedule anywhere this year. Sorry Texas, I'm picking

445
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: on you. Um you know is chances are, you know

446
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna post you know, ridiculous fantasy production. So I

447
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: would just you know, my recommendation of folks would be

448
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: zero in the first five weeks and let the rest

449
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: of the season play out and make adjustments and if anything,

450
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: you live by the rule of three. Get three games

451
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: under the belt and then you can really start to

452
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: assess exactly what the trends are and this ranks of

453
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: weaknesses of teams from the defensive or offensive perspective. Yeah,

454
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. I mean, I do get caught

455
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: up in the hey man, it's great playoff schedule, but

456
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: there's so many things that happened between now many time

457
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: you get to you know, Deceimber or whatever it is

458
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: that that are going to change things. So um, but yeah,

459
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: I know it's the thing people hone in on, very

460
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: curious to kind of get your thoughts on it. Uh,

461
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: what I ask about. I picked a handful of of

462
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: teams with what I consider big questions in their running

463
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: back rooms, either you know, guys that I don't love

464
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: or maybe I just don't know what to do with.

465
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: So I got four teams here, get your thoughts. The

466
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: first one is the Bills. I like Devin Singletary, the

467
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: Bills don't seem to like him as much as I do. Um.

468
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: I always joked that it takes in three forms of

469
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: identification to get into the end zone. Um. You know,

470
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: and I know people are really promoting Zack Moss. They're

471
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: touting Zack Moss. I don't know that I'm on board

472
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: for my money, like Josh Allen is the best fantasy

473
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: running back in Buffalo. Is there any point to really,

474
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, unless you're talking late in the draft, to

475
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: really believe in either Moss or Singletary there? Well, I

476
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: mean that's a good news. Is the price point for

477
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: those guys right now? In terms of average DRAP position.

478
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean Singletary and Moss, you're getting anywhere in the

479
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: mid thirties, late thirties at the RB positions, So chances

480
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: are we gonna get him in the you know, triple

481
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: figures in terms of overall average draft position. I'm not

482
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: buying into the Zack Moss hype. Uh. Could he you know,

483
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: eat into more of the workload, the miniscule workload from

484
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary? Sure, but you know there's a team that's

485
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: still gonna pass first pass often. Uh. That is the

486
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: identity that the Buffalo Bills have taken on. I mean,

487
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: they threw it what close to sixty of the time

488
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: last year, and I don't think they're really going to

489
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: dviate too much from that. So I think more or

490
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: less it is gonna be the Josh Allen show. And

491
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, you know, alongside a guy like Cam Newton.

492
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: He's one of the more dominating inside the five rushers

493
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So he will call his number when

494
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: the defense, you know, presents that opportunity, and he'll take

495
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: advantage of it. So it does mitigate, it does cap

496
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: any a potential of Moss or Singletary, and god forbid,

497
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: when those guys gets hurt, you know, people will be like,

498
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: oh man, Singletary is down. He's all Zack Moss to

499
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: the mood. It's like he's like the Doge coin of

500
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: running backs all of a sudden, and everyone's like, all

501
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: the ship dodge coil, let's go, and c Stock, let's go.

502
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: We gotta wat fast. Uh. And in reality, nothing is

503
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: really going to change in terms of this scheme, and

504
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: I think that could be a bit of a sucker bet.

505
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: So I will, you know, I will invest in the

506
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: backfield at a reasonable cost. But am I gonna extend

507
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: the go Go gadget arm around early ago a dollar

508
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: more in a salary cap format? No, sir, no thanks,

509
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: that's fair. Yeah. I mean I think if they fell

510
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: in my lap at the right price, I'm down for it.

511
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: But I'm not you know, I'm not going out of

512
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: my way to get there. They fall into the category

513
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: of oatmeal. It's fine, it's not exciting unless yeah, it's

514
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: a little sentiment there. You know, he gets some flavors,

515
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: get a little vanilla, you know whatever. But tequila that

516
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: that just blew my line. That the completely blew my mind.

517
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: Or you mentioned him. Newton and the Patriots they have

518
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously they have Cam Newton, who if he's playing,

519
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: he's potentially a goal line back for them. They've got

520
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: so many running backs though, Brad. I mean, you know,

521
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: they've got Damien Harris, James White still there at the moment,

522
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle is still there. They drafted vermondre Stevens, and

523
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: they've got like J. J. Taylor still I think hanging

524
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: around there. To my god, I mean, is still there, mahoney.

525
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean, do we bother at this point with anybody

526
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: in that backfield? Yeah? No, I mean maybe Lawrence Morrowona

527
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: comes out of retirement. I would consider it, but not No.

528
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: I mean, do you mean Harris is interesting? But you know,

529
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: I I gotta see first informist, well Cam Newton make

530
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: this team because that is the ultimate deciding factor in

531
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: all this, and and look, Mac Jones is a player. Yeah,

532
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: he may have the body of yours truly dead, but

533
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: the guy was the most accurate quarterback at the AS

534
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: level last season. And in terms of adjus A completion

535
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: percentages tracked by Pro Football Focus, he could put it

536
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: square on the digits. Uh. You know, he's played essentially

537
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: the Triple A affiliate of the NFL that is in

538
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: the SEC and with Alabama Winnian National title. Yeah, he

539
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: had a ton of you know, excellent town around him

540
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: at DeVante Smith and Jalen Waddle and and Nausea Harris.

541
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: But you know, I think mac Jone's gonna come in.

542
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna steal the show. I think he's

543
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna win this gig in training camp. I really do. UM.

544
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's like plus two seventy eight.

545
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: If you're into these sports betting arts like I am,

546
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: you can wager on something like that. So that will

547
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: determine UM. Ultimately, can a guy like Damian Harrison breakout

548
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: because Cam Newton is such a goal line gremblin man.

549
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: You know, he had fifteen rush attempts inside the five

550
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: yard line last year. That was far and away to

551
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: other quarterback in the NFL had you know, double figures

552
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: in that category, and it did cap the upside of

553
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: Damian Harris. Damon Harrison ten games last season, had two

554
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: two goal line carries. That's it. So you know, you

555
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: can't really pay the fantasy bills when you're not getting

556
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: opportunities to cross the chalk and punch it in for six.

557
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: But you know Harris will be I think the clubhouse

558
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: leader in this RBBC. But he got a monitor Cam

559
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: Newton and whether or not he makes this club because

560
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, then I think Harris could certainly be

561
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, borderline RB two in a twelve team format.

562
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: If Cam Newton is indeed the quarterback, and if they

563
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: go to a QBBC, which is the rumor where it

564
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: could be Mac Jones between the twenties and then Cam

565
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: Newton inside the red zone, then you gotta keep Damian

566
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: Harris about where he's going right now in fantasy draft,

567
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: which is in the early thirties. Among running backs, Harris

568
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: maybe the only guy that I have an interest in. Um,

569
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, James White feels like that guy you pick

570
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire in like Week twelve because you

571
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: just need a streaming running back or something like that. Like,

572
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: I just need four catches, James, That's all I need.

573
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: It's just a respectable day. Not asking for a lot here,

574
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: just four kids. By the way, I also think I

575
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: think I have Mac Jones's calendar from his real estate agency. Uh,

576
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: I think I got a haul. There's why I did

577
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: not realize there is a real estate agency. And Jones

578
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: he looks like a realist any at least, only he's

579
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: like wearing that student like walking out to shape the

580
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: commissioner's hand and these Seriously, it's like, you know Mac

581
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: Jones century twenty one, Like I can totally say, I

582
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: could say it. There's there's an opportunity. Well, I mean

583
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: if he the n I L still applied to Mac

584
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: Jones then he I mean, but he's a pro now,

585
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: so century twenty get out there right now, Max, whoever

586
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: was without consequences? Absolutely exactly right? Oh man? Um, So

587
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: we have been picking on the Texans a little bit,

588
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: we might as well just pick on them some more.

589
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: But sure let their backfield. Their backfield would have killed

590
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: in like teens right that I feel would have been amazing.

591
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: In fact, I think it was. I was on this

592
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: show with Michael f Florio. Uh, and we were like,

593
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's gonna pick up mark Ingram.

594
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: And like, within twenty four hours of that statement being

595
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: uttered on this show, the Texans had snapped him up

596
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: and be made um. But with all the guy I

597
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: mean between mark Ingram and David Johnson is still there.

598
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 1: I feel like Philip Lindsay is maybe the guy who

599
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: in a kind of shining because you saw him in

600
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: Denver all those years, right, like keep him down. I

601
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: feel like with all those guys there, he's still somehow

602
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: the guy maybe that you want in that backfield. Yeah.

603
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the only thing that can really keep Philip

604
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: Lindsay downsy injury Amp. And unfortunately the injury amp views

605
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: the flesh as a delicate testant, if you will, a

606
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: delicacy of month, Mr Philip Lindsay. So that is the

607
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: downside there. But you know, I think David Johnson is

608
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna lead this backfield. Uh. You know my colleague on

609
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: the series Sex and Fantasy show that I do you

610

Speaker 1: know two to four pm Eastern, nice little plug there

611
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: for the Fantasy Channel. But in your Friday Brandon Funston

612
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,479
Speaker 1: Um who hired me at yeah, who all those years ago.

613
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: Biggest mistake of his career. Uh, he got exiled from

614
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: like Oregon or wherever he is now. He's he's up

615
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: there in Sasquatch Land. Yeah, you're close. He's out there

616
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: in northwest and northwest corner of Washington State across Puget Sound.

617
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: I didn't go far enough. Wow. I mean he's huge,

618
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: a lumberjacking, so he just wears plaid shirts and he's

619
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: like Paul Bunning out there chopping down tree. But you know,

620
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: if you look at this backfield, I want nothing to

621
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: do with it. Brandon really likes David Johnson. And if

622
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: I am going to invest any kind of draft capital

623
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: in anybody, because I only play in some element of PPR,

624
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: it would be for David Johnson. You could get maybe

625
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: a great ten games out of him. Where he is

626
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: like James White. He's catching four or five balls every

627
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: single game, get the sporadic touchdown, maybe get sixty six

628
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: total yards per game. But my goodness, I mean the

629
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: Texans are underdogs, projected underdogs in every game this year.

630
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: I saw a Draft Kings sports book. You can wager

631
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: on them to go over, to go winless and it's

632
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: twenty to one, and I'm like, that's kind of that's

633
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: probably worth a twy dollar bill. You know, I don't

634
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're gonna win a game if

635
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: if Deshaun Watson, and we'll see how that plays out.

636
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: You know, we don't know what you know, Commission Goodell

637
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: is gonna do with the violation the Personal Conduct policy.

638
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: You know, people are saying, well, you know he's gonna

639
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: be in the clearer. You know, he may be able

640
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, stiff arm some of the criminal chargers.

641
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: But I mean that it's all about the personal conduct policy.

642
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: He can be suspended for six games, eight games, ten

643
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: games the entire year. So it's gonna be up to

644
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: Cadell and if it's like Davis Mills and to Rod Taylor. No,

645
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: I want nobody in Houston, with maybe the exception of

646
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, because he is gonna get Pepper with targets

647
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: as they're down twenty and nothing in every single game

648
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: so far this year. Yeah, Brandon Cooks I think feels

649
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: like the one guy that everybody's like, all right, I'll

650
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: give him a shot here. The other part of the

651
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: Deshaun Wanton thing is obviously. You know, there's the the

652
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: civil cases, the criminal charges, the personal conduct policy. There's

653
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: also the little matter of he doesn't want to be

654
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: in Houston anymore. Right, Yeah, you know, we we have

655
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: sort of because of all the other things that have

656
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: been so much more serious, we sort of glossed over

657
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: the fact that this all started when he just wanted

658
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: to leave Houston. Um. So there's just nothing. There's nothing

659
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: interesting about the technical except for except for how bad

660
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: potentially they could be. That might be the most interesting

661
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: thing about them this year. I don't know, probably most

662
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: boring fantasy team. I mean in them in New England.

663
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean, no, Plant's kind of a snore fest as well,

664
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: although you know, at least there I can see a

665
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: glimmer of hope, just a little flicker of it with

666
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: some of the New England Patriots players. But Houston, you know,

667
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: it's Brandon Cooks and it's all downhill from there. I mean, look,

668
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: I said a couple of weeks ago that Nelson Aghilor

669
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: was the crown jewel of the off season offseason acquisitions

670
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, and I like you, Elson a galore,

671
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't consider him anybody's Crown. Yeah, it's more

672
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: or less just a guy. I mean he's okay, He's

673
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: not like spectacular by any stretch of the imagination. But

674
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, Belichick Appoli fund a way to get back

675
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: to like win in ten eleven games again of course,

676
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: all right, so my last one I got here is

677
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: the Bucks. And my my simple question is why does

678
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians hate us? Right, Like we were just starting

679
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: to figure out this Ronald Jones Leonard four Nette split.

680
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: Now they bring in Geo Bernard, Like why Shawn vadis

681
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: still there? Like, why why does Bruce Arians hate us

682
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: so much? That's a great question. I have no idea.

683
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: You know, I always view Bruce Arians when he was

684
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: with you know, with Arizona and going back to his

685
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: days as oct with the Steelers, I was viewed as

686
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: a pretty straight shoe. And then the old last year happened,

687
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: and you know he was talking up Uh, you know

688
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, Ronald the Jones, the stad He's added some weight,

689
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: and you know, Ronald Jones on an efficiency basis was spectacular.

690
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: You know, only Derrick Henry and Nick Chubb had a

691
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: higher yards or the contact per tempt rating or mark.

692
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,239
Speaker 1: Then uh, the aforementioned Rojo. So you know, when he

693
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: has been given opportunities, he can go out there and

694
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: be a plow within this offense. His problem is he's

695
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: got stone hands and he's rather unreliable. And when Tom

696
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: gives you the you know, the stare of death after

697
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: you dropped the pass, you're like, welp, exit stage left

698
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: for Ronald Jones, insert the nickelback. Thankfully not the band,

699
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 1: but Leonard four Net and Fournet would come in and

700
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, just catch all kinds of passes, although we

701
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: dropped a number of them in the playoffs, so you

702
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: know it's it's going to be a rotational backfield yet again.

703
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: And I know everybody got entranced by the jubinar thigh

704
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: season on social media, much like Mike Davis, Oh my,

705
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: they're like wow, Wow, Gil Man, he's he's packing a

706
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: little something, a little ex or something something that I'm like, yeah, bro,

707
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: he's a professional football player. You think he squats elephants.

708
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: You know, he does a ton of lunges. He should

709
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: have thighs like dad. He's a running back, you know,

710
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: and there's been a pretty productive one when given opportunities

711
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: in his NFL career, so it's messy, but I do

712
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: like Ronald Jones. Uh. You know RB thirty three a

713
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: d P ninety two point two overall. Uh. You know,

714
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: if there's anybody that's got upside to get maybe nine

715
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns in this scheme, it could be him. But four

716
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: net should once again dominate the past down work and

717
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: he'll be decent as a flexi sexy option getting you know,

718
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: anywhere between four to six receptions per week. Could you

719
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: have imagined after his first couple of years in Jacksonville,

720
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: we'd be talking about Leonard Fournett as a pass catching

721
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: back now that Nope, nope, never did And it's such

722
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: a you know, I still hard back on last year

723
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: and and you know, think about four net when he

724
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: got caught. I was all about divine a zigbo within

725
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: that offense, and you know some people are on right

726
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: alarm instead. And then he was on the COVID list

727
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: for an eternity. And then this guy from division to

728
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: Illinois State forty minutes up the road from where I'm

729
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: living here now in CenTra, Illinois. Uh, and you know

730
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: up there in normal Illinois, and the Illinois State Redbird

731
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: just came in and stole the show and and poor

732
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: James Robinson. You know, it's kind of got craft on.

733
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: Hey Travis Etn we're gonna draft you, and uh, James,

734
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: sorry you were so productive last year, but yeah, we're

735
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: not gonna give you eighty five percent the opportunity share anymore.

736
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: So it's unfortunate, but hopefully the kid won't flame out

737
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: because he deserves so much more based on what he

738
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: showed last year. You know, I always said that I

739
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't think Robinson would get that kind of

740
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: workload this year, just because I felt like last year

741
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: was they didn't expect him to have to work that much.

742
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: It's just the sort of the stars aligned, and he

743
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: did a great job with it, like no doubt, crushed them.

744
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,479
Speaker 1: I also didn't expect that the Jags, the Jaguars gonna

745
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: go out and draft one of the three best backs

746
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 1: in the draft class. Like I didn't. I figured help

747
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: was coming, I didn't think that level of help was coming.

748
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: So now I'm sort of holding onto this idea that

749
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: they can be kind of a chub hunt south down

750
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: there in Jackson. I mean, maybe that's me just being

751
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: wishful the best, but that's that's what I want. Right now. No,

752
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's entirely fair. I think the biggest

753
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, downside for Jackson Mill's defensively, you know, you know,

754
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: for James Robinson, he has got to be in competitive

755
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: games and positive scripts or at least competitive game scripts

756
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: to get ball the belly and hopefully punch it in

757
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: because Travis e t n anytime there's a deficit, He's

758
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: going to dominate the snap share, uh, playing catchup mode,

759
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, being like a DeAndre Swift, being like a

760
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: very poor man's off and Camara if you will, within

761
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: this offensive scheme. But Robinson is to do it all.

762
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he he commands more respect. I wish, you know,

763
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: he would be able to continue to get the opportunity

764
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: of you know, fifteen to twenty touches per game. I

765
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: think we may be discounting him a little bit too harshly,

766
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: but again, it's it's really gonna be contingent on not

767
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: only the defense, but also the offensive line and how

768
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: well they can mention gel together making sure that Lawrence

769
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be able to fire on all cylinders. But

770
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, when he got field stretchers like d J.

771
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: Chart bringing Marvin Jones, got Laviska Chanald who's all the

772
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: buzz down there in North Florida. I mean, I mean

773
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: he's he's well, he reminds me of Leviska. Does you

774
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: know I saw him play up at SEU when I

775
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: was living out in Colorado up in Boulder. You know,

776
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: he reminds me of like old school Golden Tape is.

777
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: Like when he gets the ball in his hand after

778
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 1: the catch, he becomes a burly, bruising running back type,

779
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: tough dude to bring down, thick body and just I

780
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: mean he punishes dudes, and he open field punishes dudes.

781
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, the guy is a limit, especially

782
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: when he have core competency now at the quarterback position

783
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: with Lawrence, who's I feel, a generational talent. I think

784
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: this Jacksonville team is fascinating. Thank god Urban Meyer's not

785
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: calling the plays because I think he's got two years

786
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: in this league, is gonna be exit stage left. But

787
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: Daryl Bevil knows what he's doing. You know, four the

788
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: last five years he's had a top ten asking an

789
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: offense split between Detroit and Seattle, So I think you

790
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: know he's in Lawrence is in good hands with Bevil

791
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: as long as my Er is not, you know, placing

792
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: his stamp on on too much within that playbook. Dude.

793
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: It's all fun and games until team Tebow is running

794
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: the Wildcats from the two. Dude, I'll tell you it.

795
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: Tebow is like full tastom Hill, like you know, pobably

796
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: end up starting in Scott Fish. I'll probably end up

797
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: taken Tim Tebow like round eighteen, and I'm desperate for that,

798
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, super flex option and by a heavy week,

799
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: everybody's hurt and I'm like, well, oh Tim Tebow's an intervention,

800
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: bang rolling out it, oh man? All right? Before before

801
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: I let you go, though, I want to do a

802
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: couple of quick, rapid fire questions to tease the brain

803
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. You are a fighting a line.

804
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: I what would you give up for in Illinois Football

805
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: National Championship? Uh? An arm and three legs? Marcus. I'll

806
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: let your mind in wonder on that. I love. I

807
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: love that you had it like loaded, like locked in loaded.

808
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: They're like, you just know that's never gonna happen now

809
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: at full disclosure, full disclosure. I think Brett Bilma is

810
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna do a bang up job. Okay, Bilma knows the

811
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 1: big ten Uh, they're gonna win here. It's gonna take

812
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: a while. But for me, my favorite sport on the planet,

813
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: as much as I love the NFL and adore it

814
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: and I owe my career to its college basketball. I'm

815
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: a junkie and a die hard versus Illinois basketball fans.

816
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: So I would, you know, probably I would just ghost.

817
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: I would give up everything for an Illinois basketball title.

818
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: Illinois basketball is definitely closer to that pinnacle than than

819
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: football is. Oh yeah, right, I mean, what's not I

820
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: know that's not a big statement. I understand that that's

821
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: not you know, I'm not going out on all in there,

822
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: but you know, at least at least the line basketball

823
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: teams a little bit closer to it today. And will

824
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: I be at Illinois Nebraska week zero, because it's not

825
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: even week once we zero of the college football season. Yes,

826
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: I will be in attendance, and I will be deploying

827
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: the humidity in the process. But they do serve beer

828
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: now Memorial Stadium, so that don't help. All right. The

829
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: what is the biggest thing you miss about Colorado now

830
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: that you're out you've been out for a few weeks. Uh,

831
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: Nature probably first and foremost, and again, low humidity and

832
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: no bugs. And then the great thing about Colorado is this,

833
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: and you should ask me this question. Come like, I

834
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: don't know January because you live in sunny south southern California,

835
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: so you know all about the through interplus days of sunshine.

836
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: It's wonderful you get that. Vitamindeed and makes a big

837
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: difference in your attitude in general. And in Illinois you'll

838
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: get these just stretches of days where you're like, man,

839
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: when was the last time I saw the sun? Bro

840
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: like three weeks? But in Colorado you get the full

841
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: four season experience, but you get the three interplus days

842
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: of sunshine. And because you're at a high out to do,

843
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: people like, oh it snows are all the time. Yeah,

844
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: at averages about sixty two, which is of snowfall a year.

845
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: But because of your high altitude and the sunshine, snow

846
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: don't stick around. It's usually gone in a couple of days.

847
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: So I will miss that more than anything. Is a

848
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 1: three d days of sunshine. The low humidity are none?

849
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: All right? Okay, we last one for you, and this

850
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: is uh apropos for you. One tequila to rule them all?

851
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: Which one would it be? Well? Class azul is the

852
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: class of tequila. You know, that's the very fancy I

853
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: kind a mini bottle here. Yes, oh, there's my friend

854
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: come here. So if you see this now, this is

855
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: a miniature version. Oh there goes Kevin Hardy. Sorry Kevin um.

856
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: So this is the bottle. You'll see a bigger version

857
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: of this. It is. These are hand painted in Mexico. Uh.

858
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: And it's just it's a represado so it's been aged.

859
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: But if you'd like Danilla nodes, it is smooth and

860
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: it hits the lips. It's pure ecstasy. Uh, that's outstanding.

861
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: But this will run you and I don't know what

862
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: it is in Calforn in Illinois, runningbout hund bucks of bottle. Uh.

863
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: If you want bang for the buck, tequila Herridora Ultra

864
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: and ye hoo, it's got the horseshoe on the front.

865
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: People look at it be like, oh, why is this clear?

866
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: Why is it a silver? It's not a silver. It

867
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: is an actual on. I mean it's been aged for

868
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: at least thirty six months, but it's age an American

869
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: white oak barrel. So the essence it appears out is

870
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: pulls out of the wood. Is clear. And not a

871
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: traditional brown on yehoe. Oh it's it is wonderful. Tastes

872
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: like a you know, like a rose blooming in your mouth,

873
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: and that you can find anywhere between fifty five is

874
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: sixty five bucks a bottle, put in the freezer, drink

875
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: it neat, not on ice, and thank me later, Thank

876
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: me later. It's great. So when this football thing stops

877
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: working out for you just gonna open a distillery that

878
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: that would happen. Well, dude, I'm applying I need to

879
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,640

885
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,479
