15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: got a Now you know that's great. I didn't even

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: listen to the beginning of the last show, but I

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: knew that from a couple of Twitter mentions that you

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: turned what was a very three days into me into

19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: a bit so I knew as soon as someone was sick,

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: Dan's gonna go, oh, this will be great for the show.

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: But now don't you think that maybe if you were

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: going to lob something like that an accusation, that you

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: should at least listen, not at all. But no, we

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: we are no longer humans with lives and happiness and

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: up and Dad's We are just players in the dan

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: hands this drama. The bits were just part of the bit. Yeah,

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: but we're also ignoring the fact that I did have

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: real um I was looking out for I hope Mark

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: gets better. How many times did I say that? Like

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: multiple times. I don't doubt that, but I what I

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: received on you know, online, through various sources, was that

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: you're killing my diet. You're telling me I need to

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: change the way I operate. I mean, that's absurd. I

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: simply question whether meat would help whatever you're doing in

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: the situation that I was in, Like bringing me a

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: plate of meat would have done. I don't know what

37
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: sort of you know, medical person you think you are,

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: but that would have been the last thing that I needed.

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: Well I did at that time. I was like to

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: get him some antibiotics and a plate of meat. I

41
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: wasn't saying that, um that that was I just wondered

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: if that maybe that would help. And I'm happy you're bad.

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: I have I wonder things too, you do you wonder things?

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: A lot of things. We're happy to have you back, though,

45
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: Do you want to talk about the people you got

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: to look out for? Colleen had a huge grin on

47
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: her face when when the illness came up. She was

48
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: looking mighty comfortable in that chair. Well, listen, I mean

49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: if this all came to a very quick end, my

50
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: life would go on you. You look comfortable in your

51
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: new array of clothes that you've brought from Boca Rattan.

52
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: That's I came back on a lot of good outfits. Well,

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: because Conroar was typically the person that would go to

54
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: that trip with me and annual meet could not be

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: more excited at any event about the possibility of free gear.

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: And this was three bags last sure it was. It

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: was three bags and fellow journalists hating anyone from the

58
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: NFL because you only get it if you're from the

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: NFL understandably looking at me like you know, I was

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: some schill. So you have a whole new wardrobe though

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: of work. A lot of it is stuff that I'm

62
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: going to be giving away because it's things that just

63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: don't I'm not sure about didn't only fit my wardrobe

64
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: type style. Really, here's a little secret. Because we're also underpaid,

65
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: we're happy to wear free stuff. Let speak for yourself. Yes,

66
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: we get it. You're underpaid. Where did where we have

67
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: to with a siren the West, I'm underpaid, siren efforting.

68
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: We have to find a perfect one for it. All right,

69
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: on today's show, we are going to uh talk about

70
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: uh the divisions of the NFL. Uh because there are

71
00:03:51,680 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: two teams sixteen teams in each conference eight divisions eight

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: divided by two is far? So four in each conference

73
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: eight overall? Is that correct? That that is correct? Confirmed?

74
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: Got a little loss in the numbers there, but I

75
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: made my way out. So there used to be six divisions,

76
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: remember that vaguely? Yeah, well, the two thousand two we realigned.

77
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: I remember. Well. There was also the weird year where

78
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: there were thirty one teams in the a f C

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: Central I believe at the time before they became the

80
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: North had six teams in it. Twelve of your games.

81
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: A lot of teams. Uh So, Anyway, the division power rankings,

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: which is a post up on around the NFL greg

83
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: you put great effort into it. Speaking of efforting, you

84
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: efforted on that post very well and delivered a hammer.

85
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: It is a yearly column that we've done, and I

86
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: guess we don't have many traditions, but we've managed traditions,

87
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: but ran well one that goes back five years. We

88
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of traditions that have kept up

89
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: since two thousand and twelve, which was the first full

90
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: off season of Around the NFL, but we've randomly put

91
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: out a division power rankings around this time every year,

92
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: and without getting into too much before we actually talk

93
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: about it in earnest, this is a year of change, potentially,

94
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: at least in our opinions, a lot of big shape

95
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: of the divisions. So we're gonna talk about that, and

96
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: of course we're gonna do some news um before we

97
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: throw it to Brandon to get into the news. Everybody's

98
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: doing a great job on our subreddit. By the way,

99
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: the around the NFL subreddit, which west the numbers are

100
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: going through the roof. I think you had said that

101
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: they had really been multiplying over at the subreddit which

102
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: you were diving into. Yeah, there were like six people

103
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: on there and now there's probably like seventy three. Yeah,

104
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: let's no, I think there's there's more than that. I

105
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: didn't even though if that was a joke or not.

106
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: West on Fire right now, while while we're talking, you know,

107
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: are our people contributing? You got the subreddit? I think

108
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: we should send it out there because a lot of

109
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: podcasts do this every podcast we don't do it, and

110
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: that it really helps us to leave some comments and

111
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: ratings on the old iTunes. That's I want to see

112
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: our little ranking and the because it's not about how

113
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: many people listen to us. A lot of people listen

114
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: to us, but they based it on how many comments

115
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: are left. We're lagging a little bit on the comments.

116
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: So you know, if you haven't left the comment there,

117
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: go go leave one. Let's let's lean into the power

118
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: of our listenership here, because I'm looking at that subreddit.

119
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: We out now have over four people on that and

120
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: it was I think in the double digits at the

121
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: beginning of the week, so a lot of people are

122
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: flocking there. Uh reddit dot com, slash r slash around

123
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: the NFL and on iTunes. Let's see if our listenership

124
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: leans into a little bit with uh, what is it

125
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: likes or what is it the five star ratings? Some comments.

126
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: Let's see what we can bump us up the old

127
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: What happens, Just start subscribing on like fifteen different devices.

128
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: Maybe steal people's iPhones subscribe. That's when they give them back.

129
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't mean, I mean borrow them. That's what the

130
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: listener wants, you know. They eight divvy out important time

131
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: to come listen to the show in six minutes. And

132
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: Greg has given a homework. Was in his handing out

133
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: in delegating tasks one one minute in the three hours

134
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: of beautiful content will have all weeks. I was gonna say,

135
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: we don't ask too much of our audience other than

136
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: to listen, which is which everybody does a great job listening. Now,

137
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: maybe this is more a challenge. What can we do

138
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: to take down the Apple machine or at least um affected.

139
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: So please help us out there on iTunes. Let's do

140
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: some news, Brandon, this is why you left you. It

141
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: is now March, and as things stand, the Super Bowl

142
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: champion Denver Broncos, they don't become defending Super Bowl champions

143
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: until the season starts right right now, they're just super

144
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: Bowl champions. Or is it a league new year? Uh?

145
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: A new league here? So it already is defending superre

146
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: the super Bowl champion. I just think they're the super

147
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: Bow Bowl champion. I think you're right. Once they start

148
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: playing games than they're defending. Okay, the Super Bowl champion

149
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. As of March thirty, their starting quarterback is

150
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez. This is something that's and he doesn't have

151
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: any competition. It's just him. It's just him. Uh. It's

152
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: kind of a shot of Trevor Simeon. Yeah, it was intended.

153
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: Doesn't the word Simeon mean monkey? Like? Yes, it is right.

154
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I believe it. Um, so you're saying that,

155
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I believe it doesn't help But the

156
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: word simeon, that doesn't help us because not an advanced

157
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: species is what you're saying. Compared to other than the

158
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: derivation of him during super Bowl week and quite a

159
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: nice had to ask him a question or two about

160
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: something else and couldn't have been nicer. Didn't seem like

161
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: an imposing athlete to me, but good for him. Did

162
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: get one regular season snap, he lost the yard. I

163
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: believe he probably was. It was was that Neil out

164
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: But you did a good job with that. So I

165
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: bring that up because it's surprising because I think a

166
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: lot of people if you would have asked the football world, um,

167
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, three weeks ago, if you know Colin Kaepernick

168
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: or some other solution would be in Denver's building by now,

169
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: people would have thought something other but Mark Sanchez. But

170
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: here we are and uh. On Tuesday's edition of NFL

171
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: Total Access on NFL Network, Ian rapp Report reported that

172
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: the Broncos um are interested in Josh McCown, who is

173
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: currently a member of the Cleveland Browns, but perhaps not

174
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: for long, as well as Brian Hoyer. So, Wes you

175
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: wrote this piece, Um, where where is this interest in

176
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 1: terms of serious Is it more just these are the

177
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: guys they're being connected to them, or is this a

178
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: real thing? Well, Dan, I would point back to you

179
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: that you wrote a post a couple of days ago

180
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: saying I don't remember Josh McCown is on the trade

181
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: trade block and Ian said on Tuesday's show that they

182
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: are Browns are certainly looking to either deal McCown or

183
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: cut him. So I think that, you know, maybe teams

184
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: are waiting him out to see if he gets cut.

185
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: But at this point, I lead this column with McCown

186
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: instead of Howyer, because to me, McCown can be an

187
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: upgrade on Sanchez and Howyer cannot. I just don't see

188
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: Horror Hoyer as quite as relevant as a starting quarterback

189
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: as Josh McCown. You could argue that McCown coming off

190
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: last season any overall that offense was awful, but McCown

191
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: had a couple of games took the Broncos to overtime

192
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: last season, so that coaching staff saw him in that.

193
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: But McCown probably could equal, if not be better than

194
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: r G three if you play him for sixteen games.

195
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: I think he's way better than so I don't think

196
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: it's a huge problem for Denver, but if they're looking,

197
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: I think they have to draft someone too. Well, they

198
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: know these guys will be out there. Those guys are

199
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: they're not going anywhere, They're going to be cut or

200
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: if they have to give up a seventh round pick

201
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: in the drive, It's not like you have to jump

202
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: up and go get him. Bryan Bryan Hoyer and Sanche's

203
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: feel very duplicative. Why bother have them both? Maybe you

204
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: could even maybe say the same for McCay. I know

205
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: you love mc but how old is he now? He's

206
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: thirty sick. You said you can't teach RG three how

207
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: to avoid injuries. Josh McCown is in the Hall of

208
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: Fame of of of before. He's equally as reckless as

209
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: r G three. But if you if you surround him

210
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: with the mar I think he enjoys it. I think

211
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: he kind of likes to get in. Yeah, but I

212
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: think r G three's lack of instincts equals that. Are

213
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: you thinking of his head first, helicopters, he's going for

214
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: you're coming out me up account? Yeah. I think if

215
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: you surround him with the Broncos talent, what's there on

216
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: that roster? I mean, is he worse than Brock Osweiler

217
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: as a starting NFL quarterback? I don't think he is. Right.

218
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: It's it speaks to the situation that the that the

219
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: um Bronco's find themselves in now, because now you're either

220
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: choosing between if you don't get Colin Kaepernick and we're

221
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: gonna talk on him, talk about him in a little bit.

222
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: But if you don't have Colin Kaepernick, who is no

223
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: gimme anyway like that, he would be a guy that

224
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: would lead you in a positive or you're gonna choose

225
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: between Mark Sanchez or Josh McCown, a thirty six year

226
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: old journeyman who and I know he's been on bad teams,

227
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: but is two in seventeen over his least two years

228
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: as a starter, has put up some decent numbers of times,

229
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: but obviously is not a great quarterback either. I mean,

230
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: he's okay maybe, but they're not gonna have a good

231
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: quarterback this year. And even if they draft so last

232
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: year though, that's what they would say to you. At

233
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: least they're trying to boy Peyton Manning. He's also he's

234
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: basically a coach on the field. You're not gonna get

235
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: that with Brian Hoyer. We also have a first or

236
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: second round pick to be named later, and I at

237
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: this point I would be shocked if they do not

238
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback with one of their first two picks.

239
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not a draft expert, but everyone seems to

240
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: say this is a great draft for them to have

241
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: a late first or second round pick, because there's you know,

242
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: there's you know, maybe packs and lynches in there. They'd

243
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: have to trade up, but there are five or six

244
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: guys that people think are worth a second round. How

245
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: many teams people ripped those guys to shreds. Right, they're

246
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: not gonna be the top to your guys. And and

247
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: how many times has defending Super Bowl champion went back

248
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: to back with a rookie quarterback. It's just not something

249
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: that happens. It's they're in a bad spot. There is

250
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback sitting out there that won ten games last year.

251
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: They seem to be completely disinterested by Ryan Fitzpatrick. So

252
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm with you, I've been I thought you

253
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: were talking about Brian Hoyer. He almost won ten games.

254
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: You have me Josh McCown over both of those guys. Uh,

255
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that plays out. And then on

256
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: the Colin Kaepernick front, rap Sheet reported Monday night that

257
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: the forty Niners won't cut the quarterback. We knew this

258
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: before his contract becomes fully guaranteed in April one, but

259
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: rapp report also added the de Niners will not trade

260
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: Kaepernick unless they are quote blown away by an offer.

261
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: And you know, the Broncos are the only real suitor here,

262
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: you would think unless the Jets got involved, and I

263
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna happen. Uh, it's really and I

264
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: think you said this, Greg earlier in the week. It's

265
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: starting to look like there's a very real chance Colin

266
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: Kaepernick is on the Niners, unless this is just posturing,

267
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: which could be as well. I don't think it's posting

268
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: by the Niners. I think Kaepernick is gonna have to

269
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: come to a point where he said he looks at

270
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: the situation and realizes, I'm not this isn't gonna happen

271
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: for me. Can I play for this team? He clearly

272
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: doesn't want to play for them. I now buy the

273
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: fact that they do want him, that they've wanted him

274
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: all along, but he came and hit them with this

275
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: trade request, and what are you gonna do. It's like

276
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: if a guy comes to and tells you he doesn't

277
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: want to be your quarterback, you're You're in a tough

278
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: spot at some point. And I think that point is

279
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: after the draft, Kaepernick is gonna decide do I want

280
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: to keep playing football? Do I want to get paid

281
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: twelve million dollars this year? If he doesn't get traded,

282
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: he's not gonna have many options. Yeah. I mean coaches

283
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: and gms, when you ask about players that don't want

284
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: to be on a team, they're the typically the move

285
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: is not if it's not a money thing to not

286
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: to try to get a guy that doesn't want to

287
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: be in the building. Let's maybe we can get him

288
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: to change his mind over the course of the next

289
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: four or five months and he can be our quarterback.

290
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: Everything you've heard about Kaepernick because there are leadership issues

291
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: at times with him too. You don't want to mobi

292
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick walking around your building when you've got Chip

293
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Kelly trying to like re establish his credentials as a coach.

294
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: That's a good point. It's a different position than other positions.

295
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: Look at how this roster has changed just in the

296
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: last two years since since Hardball left. They're gonna be

297
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: unwatchable this year. They're gonna be there. They're gonna be

298
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: right there with the Browns. Is the worst roster in

299
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: the NFL, and then add a quarterback who doesn't even

300
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: want to be there. I still think Colin Kaepernick is

301
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: the Week one starter for the Broncos because it makes

302
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: too much sense to me. So all this stuff that's

303
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: leading up into the draft, we're just filling. We're filling

304
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: the vacuum with some sort of news because we've got

305
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: nothing right now. I don't mean, we shouldn't talk about it.

306
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: It's legitimate news, it's and it's interesting. But the logic

307
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: behind the whole situation that the forty Niners, on some level,

308
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: we know they're willing to trade Colin Kaepernick. They said

309
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: they will if they're blown away. On some level we

310
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: know the Broncos are interested. They were willing to give

311
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: up a fourth round pick. The money doesn't seem that crazy.

312
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: It's just too logical not to happen. It happens on

313
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: draft week absolutely, because only the Niners could have Carson

314
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: Wentz or Jared goff is your starting quarterback. They're in

315
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: great position to draft one of those guys. And then

316
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: the whole Colin Kaepernick thing is superfluous. Um. By the way,

317
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: the Niners were the luckiest five and eleven team in

318
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: the league last year. They can easily they could have

319
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: easily been a two and fourteen team a year ago.

320
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: So if they take a step back from where they

321
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: were last year, yikes. Mark, do you remember a man

322
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: by the name of Tim Tebow? Yeah, rings a bell?

323
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: What are your general memories of him? If you had

324
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: to give somebody like a fifteen second fifteen to thirty

325
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: second explainer about who. I remember that He rose to

326
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: massive popularity during an era where you and I specifically

327
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: were charged with writing probably six to seven Tim Tebow

328
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: posts each a week, and they involved dating Kim Kardashian

329
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: maybe and Katie Perry. It was a bad time for

330
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: us in terms of what we were tasked with writing.

331
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: Dark days. Yes, before I arrive, I don't want this.

332
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: This was I was not responsible pre Rosenthal, but we

333
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: chased everything attached to you. But he caught that out there. Yeah,

334
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: they called Manning the sheriff. I was the sheriff. Get

335
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: that trash out of there. Uh when I come in? Wow,

336
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: that would that would call for It's about me. You

337
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: know what. My first post at NFL dot com was

338
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow landing spots on an airplane. You were a story. Wow,

339
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: scared Dan and I both. I'll never forget that. How

366
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm not paying for it. The NFL is that would

367
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: be cool to do a show from Japan. Maybe on

368
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: this flight you guys can talk about. Oh man, that

369
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: was really special. But we had going. Let's we should

370
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: we should bring it back, you know when I have

371
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: some time. When my tours over, that was all that

372
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: was all up in the air, you know on our

373
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: finale it's possible it could come back. Oh you left

374
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: it with a cliffhanger. Well not necessarily, but it's it's

375
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: that's that's what you do in business. Yeah, well there's

376
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: a season one that show. Anyway. So Tim Tebow, yes,

377
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: a former NFL quarterback. You're really a famous college quarterback

378
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: if you really want to take a bigger step back.

379
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: Who then, uh struggled in the NFL, with the exception

380
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: of one quirky little ride with the Denver Broncos in

381
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven. But he's still in the news occasionally

382
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: because he's he's been looking for a job. The Patriots

383
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: signed him and cut him, the Eagles signed him and

384
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: cut him. Um, he still holds out hope. He's almost

385
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old now. He was interviewed at a

386
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: charity event um on Wednesday or on Tuesday. Excuse me

387
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: about and I want to I asked Brenda to cut

388
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: this whole thing. Listen to this woman for Fox and Friends.

389
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: Her name is Annsley Earhart. I mean, listen to the fawning.

390
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: Just this is the Tim Tebow brings out in people

391
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: about a potential future in politics. And I thought about politics.

392
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: It's been hasn't a world when I'm watching everything from

393
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know in this time in my life.

394
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: You know, anyway, you know there's a chance you can

395
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: make a difference Sunday and something then that that would

396
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: be intriguing. Yeah, Anley fawnny come back to us. Wait

397
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: is that a reporter? Is she just like I think

398
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: she's some type of correspondent for Fox Fox News. A

399
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: little troubling. So you're saying the political journalism in this

400
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: country not always taken to be taken too seriously. That seemed,

401
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: even by the standards of you know, tabloaid journalism, to

402
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: be a little wild. But uh well, Timmy had more

403
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: substantive info in that interview than than some of these

404
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: debates and whatnot. I mean he could fit right in. Yes,

405
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: I don't think I go to Tim Tebow for substantive info.

406
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: That's a thing. I mean, let's be fair. Is you

407
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: think Tim Tebow is a leader of you know people, well,

408
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people look up to him.

409
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: I think what he would want to do. I think

410
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: politics is probably the worst route in this country right

411
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: now to actually try to help people directly. Tim Tebow

412
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: could do a lot better work by doing something other

413
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: than trying to go into public office. I didn't would

414
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: be a better rap for Timmy to go mark. I

415
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: think Connrore nailed it on our slack channel this morning,

416
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: or it wasn't yesterday. Well on I AM where he

417
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: talked about h him being kind of like a public speaker.

418
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: But he's also he's always had charities. He grew up,

419
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: his family was involved in all missions and stuff. Just

420
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: keep doing that. That's what he's good at. And I

421
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: don't think politics is a is a dirty road for

422
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Tebow to go down. I don't think Tim Tebow knows

423
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: what he doesn't know. M sounds like a politician maybe, oh,

424
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: Greg paraphrasing Donald Rumsfeld. There are known knowns things that

425
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: we know we know well, there are non unknowns we

426
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: know there are things that we don't know, and there

427
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: are unknown unknowns what we don't know that we don't know.

428
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: And Tim Tebow was raised in a fundamentalist religion and

429
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: then played football as a quarterback, not an area where

430
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: you're asking a lot of questions. I think the answers

431
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: have been provided for him in life. He hasn't had

432
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: to search for them. I don't think that's what I've

433
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: won in a political leader, me personally, And who are

434
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: you voting for this? I'm not not at liberty to

435
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: say I think I'm gonna play defense against Trump, though, Okay,

436
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: I think that's a strategy that a lot of people

437
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: believe it. We'll see what happens more on the politic

438
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: called podcast Got Me Up later this year. Back to football,

439
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: The Cincinnati Bengals have lost some notable players to uh

440
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: free agency. UH Now they're making some signings, starting with

441
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: former Cleveland Browns linebacker Carlos Dansby, who, after being released

442
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: by the Browns earlier this month, told Cleveland dot Com quote,

443
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Bengals are licking their chops right now.

444
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: And he was right. They were licking their chops because

445
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: Cincinnati signed the linebacker. Uh to a deal. Uh. In

446
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: other news, the Bengals um lost, of course, Mohammed Sanu

447
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: uh to the Falcons and Marvin Jones to the Lions

448
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: their wide receivers. They signed a wide receiver on Wednesday,

449
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Brandon LaFell, the fame, the former Patriots pass catcher who

450
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: did have people forgets a seventy four catch season uh

451
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: two seasons ago. Last year was an injury Martin mess

452
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: with a lot of drops and uh really uh, some

453
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: flaws in his game became apparent. But the Bengals are

454
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: going bargain hunting with Brandon LaFell. West your thoughts, well,

455
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: you raised the point that he seventy four catches, nine

456
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: fifty three yards and seven touchdowns for a Super Bowl

457
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: team two years ago. Last year, he was never right,

458
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: He had the foot injury, came back late. It just

459
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: seemed like he never was in sync. And Greg has

460
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: said multiple times that deep ball to Brandon LaFell was

461
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: the least effective playing football last year. I think Andy

462
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: Dalton to Brandon LaFell would be maybe even more, maybe

463
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: even less effective. But he's a starter. These are two

464
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: guys who are starting Week one at this point. I

465
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: don't think LaFell will still be a starter by week one. Necessarily.

466
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna draft multiple wide receivers, just like

467
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: they did with Sanow and Jones, and see how those

468
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: guys can fit in. But at this point he's their

469
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: number two because it is insanely thin. They needed a

470
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: veteran just to plug in there. And then you have Dansby,

471
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: who I would think would be starting either over a J.

472
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: Hawker certainly while perfect, suspended definitely during perfect. And I

473
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: think with with Dansby is not the guy who was

474
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. And I mean, it's like

475
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: Cleveland didn't lose much by letting him go, but he's

476
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting player to fit into. I think

477
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: he's the oldest Bengal already oldest player on the roster.

478
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: And one thing that Dansby has always been is like

479
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: a great locker room guy. And it's not a bad

480
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: addition on that front, I don't. It's just interesting to

481
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: me that he knew weeks ago that the Bengals of

482
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: all teams would be well he played. It wasn't Kevin

483
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: Coyle the defensive coordinator, or he was on the defensive

484
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: in Miami, was in Miami and now he's back in Cincinnati.

485
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm guessing there may have been that's usually communication. Yeah,

486
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: usually it works. Uh. Twenty years ago this week, Uh,

487
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, the Baltimore franchise left Cleveland. And what part

488
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: of the deal was they could not Art Model could

489
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: not take the Brown's name right, the color scheme, the

490
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: uniform and the history of the team that was part

491
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: of the concession that was made. That had also not originally,

492
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: but it was they fought for that eventually city So

493
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: when Model got to Baltimore, he had to start from scratch.

494
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: Twenty years ago, on Tuesday, the Ravens were selected as

495
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: the team name. Uh. It was a telephone pole. I

496
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: want you to think these other names? What what could

497
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: have been? Guys? Uh, the Baltimore Bulldogs. That was Art

498
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: Model's favorite choice, a reference to one of the original

499
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: NFL franchises, the Baltimore Americans. Another option, bring to a train,

500
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: a Baltimore to Ohio train. Uh, the American, the Mustangs,

501
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: which Johnny and Ius got behind, and United's Famously, when

502
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens were named, had this to say, I don't

503
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: like it. I don't think it has any association with football.

504
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: The Ravens was, of course a nod to Edgar Allan Poe,

505
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: one of Baltimore's famed uh residents, who wrote The raven

506
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: one of the most famous writers in American history. Yes,

507
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: and mark your thoughts on this well. At an interesting

508
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: point yesterday, I don't think I'm allowed to say what

509
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: my initial point was. You can say it. I think

510
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: you can just say it. I don't know what it is.

511
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, for I've always heard that they basically named

512
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: their franchise after a Baltimore area poet that slept with

513
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: his sister. So your take your questioning the Carotter a

514
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: little bit more of Listen, first of all, any naming

515
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: process and this isn't this is. It's kind of a

516
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: cool name, though, doesn't it work pretty well? Ravens. I

517
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,239
Speaker 1: think it's a great Ravens is not a but the

518
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: idea that you would name yourself the Americans in an

519
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: American sport with thirty two other American teams, that's a

520
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: bit precious that no one else might could have been.

521
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: What Martin Modell offered five million dollars to Jim Mercy

522
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: for the name Cults interesting because they have been they

523
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: were one of the most story franchises in NFL history,

524
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: And if any one has ever seen the movie Diner

525
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: knows how much the Baltimore Raven or the Baltimore Colts

526
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: meant to that area. Jim Say reportedly wanted twenty five

527
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: or fifty million for the name, not five million. That

528
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: is West. That's your Wheelhouse nineteen eighty two Cinema. Diner

529
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: is one of the great movies. Signer is a fantastic movie.

530
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: That's and I wasn't saying it wasn't well down. The

531
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: same guy who did the thirty for thirty on the

532
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: Colts marching band, The Colts gets no more fever pitch

533
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: in that movie they win. A guy is about to

534
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: marry this girl, and for her to get married to him,

535
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: she has she has to go through like an intricate

536
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: like forty question or something quiz on the cults. And

537
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 1: I believe she fails, or she does she pass at

538
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: the very end, but I think she just barely. I mean,

539
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: it's it's like he would not marry or if she

540
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: doesn't pass. Mean, speaking of great sports related movies, you

541
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: said it fever pitch. The chemistry you just can't you

542
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: can't create. There's a British version with Colin Firth. No,

543
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. That movie was terrible, but the book about

544
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: is one of the top ten sports books about time.

545
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it in there. Pitch. The American version

546
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: was based on the two thousand four Red, which was

547
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: as a Yankee fan, the lowest moment was the two

548
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: thousand four Alcs when they blew a three old lead.

549
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: But two thousand four the movies like Fever, Pitch and

550
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: the way Red Sox fans comported themselves started to make

551
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: things feel a little bit better because you guys were

552
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: just poisoning your own well and that, yeah, you guys

553
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: being greg. It really ruined things with the multiple world

554
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: series they want after that. Just about how people viewed you.

555
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: It's not idea for a future podcast. Uh. If you

556
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: were a commissioner of sports for a day, I would

557
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: rename Baltimore the Colts and number one on the list

558
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: like this, the Utah Jazz. I'm sorry you give the

559
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: Jazz back to the Saints. It's or back to New Orleans.

560
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: It's the most poorly named team of all time. The

561
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: Lakers should be in Minnesota. What what do they Indian? Okay,

562
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: I like that. What about Indian apples, Well, and they

563
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: can be anything because you know their history didn't start

564
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: l What about the Lakers, That's what I'm saying. The

565
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: Lakers belong in Minneapolis and the Dodgers, Um, that's a

566
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: good idea in l A. Yeah, they do geographical realignments.

567
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: They need to do a name realign That's what I'm saying.

568
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: We should do. A Commissioner of Sports for give the

569
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: jazz back to the Pelicans. So he said, give the

570
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: jazz back to New Orleans. Yeah, the boss has gone

571
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: next week, so this might be I mean, how you

572
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: guys should do it tomorrow. If this is the best

573
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: we can do for news today, think that tomorrow. Just

574
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: the side of the Times. By the way, how they

575
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: determined that the Ravens would be the team name a

576
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: telephone poll conducted by the Baltimore Sun. Very odd. I

577
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: was living in the area when that happened, and I

578
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: had plans to the entire operation. That's what's happening in

579
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: the news. All right, So there we go. Let's get

580
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: into it. Division power rankings. Greg wrote up the piece.

581
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: Does it have a vanity or all? All right? You

582
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: can find it on Google if you do NFL dot

583
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: Com colon and then put it in quotes two thousand

584
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: six NFL division power rankings. You'll get it. That's the

585
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: best NFL dot Com slash. Rosenthal, that would that's a

586
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: great one too. Greg wrote a nice piece here, Greg,

587
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: why don't you set it up for us exactly how

588
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: this all works. We've been doing it every year. Well,

589
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: the six around the NFL writers, the four in this room.

590
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: And then we've got Kevin Patrick coming at you from

591
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: Detroit lifting his weights. He sent in his top eight divisions.

592
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: Connor Or sent in his top eight divisions. Everyone here did,

593
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: and you add it all up in a complicated mathematical

594
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: stew add up the numbers, and you see who's on top,

595
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: who's on bottom. Some definite trends emerged this year. Four

596
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: different divisions got the votes for top Division. A lot

597
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: of disagreement this year. It was a tough one. I

598
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: feel like it's a very balanced league right now. So

599
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: this is why it's tricky, because there's for every division

600
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: where you're gonna, oh, well, this is the best division

601
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: in football, there's some bum team at the bottom of

602
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: the standings that you have to factor in because you

603
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: want to and we'll get we'll get into it. But

604
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,239
Speaker 1: I I tend to lean towards the divisions that were

605
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: a little more balanced, even if they didn't have the

606
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: best teams because there were no tomato cans. I I

607
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: took that into effect, but that did not change the

608
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: number one division on the rank on the on the board,

609
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: which has right now, you know, one of the biggest

610
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: tomato cans in the Cleveland Browns. The a f C

611
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: North rises to the top. The NFC West was our

612
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: top division for three straight years. Uh. A f C

613
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: North I looked back, was always in the top three,

614
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: top three or four, and now we put it as

615
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: number one. I think it makes sense because to me,

616
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: they have three teams that could make the Super Bowl.

617
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: That's giving the Ravens a lot of credit. But I

618
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me if the Ravens made the super Bowl.

619
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: So I think that's what helped out the a f

620
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: C North. I don't know if any other divisions where

621
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: the Niners have crumbled in the West, right, and so

622
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: you have the Niners and the Browns kind of cancel

623
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: each other out, but you would take the a f

624
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: C North depth. I guess over other divisions but we

625
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: all disagreed. I actually had them third. I think it

626
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: was just no one had them anywhere lower than second

627
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: or third, and so that that helped them out. So

628
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: it just added up basically, so would eight if they

629
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: were first. They got eight points. Did you do it? Like?

630
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: Exactly two people voted uh, a f C North number one.

631
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: Two people voted the NFC West number one. I believe

632
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: it was Kevin Patrick coming at you know he had

633
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: a second. I believe you and Connor where the two

634
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: A f C North guys? What am I wrong? West?

635
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: But uh, I mean it makes sense, and I think

636
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: a big reason why they took it in this group

637
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: of six is that, I well, I could speak for

638
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: this room at least, that we're all we're all very

639
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: high on the Ravens this year, I think, having a

640
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: bounce back season, and we still think that Bengals are

641
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: gonna be good and we love the Stealers. So that

642
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. Even if the Browns go

643
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: three and thirteen, the rest of these teams, they all

644
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: seem like they could be ten plus. Well, you can't

645
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: ask for any division to typically have four major contenders.

646
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean the idea that and Greg said it with

647
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: the North, it wouldn't surprise you have three of the

648
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: those teams made the Super Bowl on any level. And

649
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: I look at the Pittsburgh as a favorite in the ANFC.

650
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: I think their defense gets better. I think the Bengals

651
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: roster is right there with any team in the league.

652
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: I don't really know if the Ravens will bounce back.

653
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: They have had two out of the last three seasons

654
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: either mediocre or just terrible, but they have legitimate quarterbacks

655
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: in this division or those three teams to this was

656
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: by far the hardest year to do this exercise. I thought, yeah,

657
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: I don't think there's much separating I had then. The

658
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: only thing I knew going into this what I would

659
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: have the NFC East last, partly out of spite, just

660
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: because of what you mentioned in the article. They get

661
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: so much hype, they get so much television time, everybody

662
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: thinks they're a great division, and frankly, they don't have

663
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: any good teams. And I'm looking at our list last year,

664
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: um the one two spot was NFC West number one

665
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: in a f C North number two. So they flipped

666
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: in our opinion from one March to the next. I

667
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: had NFC West number one, because and so did Mark

668
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: I believe. I don't know what your reasoning Mark was.

669
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: Mine was basically, they have the best one to punch.

670
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean they have two of the top four teams

671
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: and not since what West was saying that no division

672
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: is kind of perfect. That just was enough. And the

673
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: rams to me are they're they're underachieving, but they're a

674
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: solid team. You got the turd in the punch bowl

675
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: with the forty, but you have I only think there's

676
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: a gross saying that it sounds like a terrible party.

677
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: It's not a Greg thing. A lot of people use

678
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: that and it's like an actual piece of human feces

679
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: in fruit punch. He was for a long time leaning

680
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: on flying the ointment. That was a big, big phrase

681
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: of Greg's down the stretch and through the postseason. So

682
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: he's now taken into another level, working a little blue.

683
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: This is bachelor Greg on display. I'm speechless right now.

684
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: The punch Bowl got any other graphic him and gently

685
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: Nick just flying into Asia. Do you know what My

686
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: main takeaway from this was the top eight teams in

687
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: the league for me were pretty easy. Okay, then nine

688
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: through twenty eight or thirty you could rank them just

689
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: about anyway. And then the Browns and well you had

690
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: the eight. You had the most out there, uh, number

691
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: one ranking of any division. How about the h the

692
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: agnostic over there picking the a f C East as

693
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: the number one division, whereas Dan and I you know

694
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: did not well, you know, I carry that water up

695
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: and down the hill for the page. So third number

696
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: one obviously on this list because their numbernber one every

697
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: year for me there they're the best team in the league,

698
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: and you know when they don't win the Super Bowl.

699
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: But I think the Bills will be a little bit

700
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: better this year. The Jets will be five hundred type

701
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: of team, and the Dolphins are around five. They don't

702
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: have any Weeks sisters there. They're yeah, they're the example

703
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: of the yeah the Week's sister. Uh clause See. I

704
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: think the a f C West is like the a

705
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: f C East in that way. They don't have an

706
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: f C West, in my mind, has two of the

707
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: worst five teams in the league. What the Rams are

708
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,959
Speaker 1: gonna go into the a f C West. So West

709
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: has four strong teams, and I think those are four

710
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: good teams. I had them up high because to me,

711
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: any one of those four teams could make the playoffs

712
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe not go to the

713
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: Superol Sanchez as its quarterback, right, but the worst team

714
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: in the division has Philip Rivers as its quarterback, and

715
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: you've got some other good quarterbacks and some promise there

716
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: should stay. I don't know if we've said any of

717
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: the actual order other than the one too, but I

718
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: don't think one through four is a f C North,

719
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: NFC West, a f C West number three, and then

720
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: a f C East number four. So West had at

721
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: number one. I'm assuming the rest of us had to

722
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: have them at the middle of the pack or significantly

723
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: lower for them to fall to four. These votes, uh,

724
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 1: were very close. This was like our you know election,

725
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: Your vote really counted. If one person had gone off,

726
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: it would have totally changed things. These four were all

727
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: pretty tightly bunched. The NFC North, which will get to fifth,

728
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: was kind of off on its own, and then the

729
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: three bottom divisions we all agreed about, so so I

730
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 1: think we saw. To me it's a balanced league. The

731
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: divisions are abouts and the a f C and the

732
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: NFC is pretty bad. I mean, the extra size is

733
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: a little bit absurd at this time of year. But

734
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: I I like I like that the a f C

735
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: South got out of the number eight spot, and I

736
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: if I really had wanted to go rogue, I don't

737
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: even remember filling in the answers for this. When was this?

738
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: Is that home? You caught me in a weird time

739
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: and I sent it in over we're struggling. Yeah, you

740
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: you sent it back. You're actually the first person to

741
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: send it back. This shouldn't surprise anyone about Sessler. He's

742
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: at home, he's fighting through an illness um and he

743
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: sends it back before any of these guys who are

744
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: on the clock. Well, maybe put less thought into it too.

745
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: But how about the a f C South. I think

746
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: the a f C South is I know that this

747
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: sounds like you could probably record to last summer and

748
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: I said the same thing, But I think the a

749
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: f C South four interesting quarterbacks in that division. That

750
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: was not the case when they were an absolute joke

751
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: a couple of season two years ago. They were I

752
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: could see them jumping up to five or something. I

753
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: think the idea they're they're not gonna go higher than

754
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: seven or eight in this exercise because of what they are.

755
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: But I could see it happening. Nobody believes me on

756
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: this one. On this podcast a couple of weeks ago,

757
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: we talked about five franchises on the Rod. Three of

758
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: them are in the ANFC South and the other one

759
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: has been the Usual Division. Which that's also the reason

760
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: to have your guard up a little bit through because

761
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: in springtime, when you start thinking teams are much better,

762
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: you never you never really know, but you know they're fun.

763
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: You know they're more fun to watch, you know, the Colts,

764
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: the Titan even the Titans because of Mariota, you know

765
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: they have some interest level. And even the Texans, who

766
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: to me always board me more than the rest of

767
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: the division. At least there's something different there that you

768
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: can get into with. You got right though, I mean,

769
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: this is a division and it got come on, you

770
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: gotta go do it for once. This reminds me of

771
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: maybe this should be an offseason post. Now it's too

772
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: late for this. The most underrated games of two thousand

773
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: and fifteen season Number one Jaguars Titans the second time

774
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: they played Thursday night game. The Thursday night game was

775
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: a total snooze there and people missed it was like

776
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: forty two to thirty nine, an insane fourth quarter where

777
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: Bordles and Mariotta were just lighting it up. It was

778
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: a it was a treat meant nothing treat for everyone

779
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: who doesn't care about defense. Five through eight the NFC North,

780
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: NFC South, a f C South at seven, and then

781
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: NFC East And I yeah, I think Grant and Gregg

782
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: you wrote it in the post, and here's proof that

783
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: I read the post on the man um that maybe

784
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: this is a little bit of revolting because we see

785
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: them so much, Uh, these teams in primetime settings, and

786
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: you're just sick of it. You're sick of seeing the

787
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Giants playing in big time Sunday night football

788
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: spots with Alan Chris and Michelle with the call, and

789
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: it's like, why what they do to deserve this? They

790
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: get the ratings, that's why they get that spot, but

791
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: they don't play great football. Uh, and there's nobody in that.

792
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be very surprising, yes or no

793
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: if anybody in that division won more than eleven games. Correct, Well,

794
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: what if you look, Dallas isn't complete, but you that

795
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: last season wasn't was a complete night mirror for them.

796
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you get you get them healthy you get

797
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: your quarterback in for sixteen games, I could see, Well, no,

798
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. How do teams get to a

799
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 1: letter the games? It helps to be with a bad

800
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: in a bad division. If the rest of the divisions

801
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: beat able, you could be a team that isn't really

802
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: eleven win type team, but you could win eleven or

803
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: twelve games. I had them seventh over the a f

804
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: C South. But I think those two divisions stand out

805
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: that they don't really have anyone in those divisions that

806
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: if anyone of any team in either one of those

807
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: divisions made the super Bowl, you'd be surprised. I mean,

808
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: the Colts maybe wouldn't totally shock you, but yeah, I'd

809
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: be surprised if if the Eagles or the Giants or

810
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: the Redskin somehow got it together or the Cowboys. To me,

811
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: the whole doubt the Dallas thinks, I think right now,

812
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: because Jerry Jones thinks it that we were one of

813
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: the best five teams in the NFL two years ago.

814
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: Then we didn't have Tony Romo. Now we're gonna get

815
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: Tony roll back, so we can be one of the

816
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: top five teams. And I look at that roster, I

817
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 1: don't see it. What's wrong with the Ros. Their defense

818
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: has holes all through it. I think their front seven,

819
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: which was a last year uh, is a weakness. Now

820
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: they've lost people, you know, including someone you want to

821
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: lose like Greg Hardy. You've got injuries there, There's not

822
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: much there. There's They got your They've got your boy

823
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: making the leap guy, Tyrone Crawford. They've got DeMarcus Lawrence,

824
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: who came on like Gangbusters last year at the end

825
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: of the season coming off back surgery, got a high

826
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: draft pick. A lot can change. Shawn Lee is one

827
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: of the best linebackers in the league. I don't know.

828
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: To me, like they didn't make a deal with the

829
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: devil this year, don't. Wasn't it two years ago that

830
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: we were saying the Cowboys had the worst defense we

831
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: had ever seen in our human existence and that of

832
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: my favorite podcast segments ever. But it was it was

833
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: also a drumbeat throughout the offseason that the Cowboys were

834
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: just it's just we you know, let's admit at this

835
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 1: point where the four years into the show, it's March,

836
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: we have no concept what's gonna happen with h no

837
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: respect for the NFC South by the way, no one

838
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: had them higher than six, despite I think the best

839
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: quarterback lineup of any division in the in the league,

840
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 1: and the best team in the league last year until

841
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. We're probably a little guilty on this

842
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: podcast of concentrating too much on quarterbacks and ignoring the

843
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: rest of the roster. Well not in this The Saints

844
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: were legitimately junk for a couple of seasons in a row,

845
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: and they're not any better right now. Buck's gotta show it.

846
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean, why do we think the Bucks defense isn't

847
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, what have they shown it? They're

848
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: a good defense. Well, we're loving that they have the

849
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: league m v P, the best team in the NFL

850
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: until the final day of the season, and three good quarterbacks,

851
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: so you know, you're hoping that you can get other

852
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: other things going Tampa. Forget about Tampa for now. But

853
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: New Orleans and Atlanta wouldn't shock you if they wouldn't have.

854
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans is easily the worst team in that division.

855
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: I mean, one team will pick number one a year ago,

856
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: and the Falcons and Saints have been bad years on

857
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: for a couple of years in a row now, So

858
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: it's that's how you wind up near the bottom of

859
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: this list. Good chatter, guys, division power ranking, Power Rankings,

860
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Rosenthal to read the whole thing.

861
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: Good thanks, Not only did you recap you know each

862
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: of the divisions that he had a few more thoughts

863
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 1: when you get into your thought bubbles. Um. I think

864
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: Greg should take print this out, folded up in a

865
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: nice little square and put it in his pocket and

866
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: everywhere he goes in Japan, have this article on his

867
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: body so he can show it to people, just to

868
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: know that he right. He left with a big, gigantic

869
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: punch to the gut before he departed the country, just

870
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: a a bomb on our NFL dot com website. Well,

871
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: the last time I was in Japan was a week

872
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: after I was hired by a good old NFL and uh,

873
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: the NFL Japan offices just blocks away from where my

874
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: in laws live. There is an office, just a small

875
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: just four people work there. Apparently they closed it down

876
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: but now it's I don't know, but I might want

877
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: to go work there somewhere. Right, You should check it out.

878
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: Greg was in Japan. Dan and I both furiously texting

879
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: each other, convinced we're gonna get fired when he comes back.

880
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: I like the idea of that Greg's gonna come in

881
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: restore order. It was a very uh, it was a

882
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: time of very little shorty. I will say that you're

883
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: telling me Um will be back on Thursday. At least

Speaker 1: three of us will. Greg will be on an airplane

00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: or going to an airport. I will be in the air.
