31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone is having a good week. We had a

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: US Open podcast reaction to the Rory choke and the

33
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Bryce and win yesterday. Today we are going to do

34
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: a little football, but I did want to stay on

35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: the theme of choking in sports and just devastating collapses

36
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: because let's face it, they're pretty interesting to watch. I

37
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: have to dive into Trevor Lawrence and the contract because

38
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: that was clearly a pretty big wow, eye opening moment

39
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: last week. Didn't see that coming. I guess we knew

40
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: that they were working on a contract. I think the

41
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: numbers relative to other players was pretty eye opening, and

42
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: we're just gonna fly through. Did Jared Goff kind of

43
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: get screwed? What this means for Dak Prescott, Jordan Love

44
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: should he kind of slow play this Tua? And what

45
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: this means for brock Purty next year? So a lot

46
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: of ramifications of this contract hit on a couple other things.

47
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: I use comments today in season hard knocks, some stots

48
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: on Netflix and the business behind that operation for the

49
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: Chris Stay Games. We'll do a little Middlecoff mail bag

50
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: today at John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those

51
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: dms hit me up whenever you want. We'll do a

52
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: much bigger mail bag probably later in the week. He

53
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: slow times. It's mid June, and we'll have a couple

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: guests on over the next couple weeks for sure, and

55
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: then probably taking the fourth of July week off so

56
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: they won't be any podcasts that week. But other than that,

57
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,079

00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: dive into some football talk, I gotta tell you about

87
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: that an epic collapse, a choke job, a disastrous finish

88
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: in any sport, especially in big moments in the playoffs

89
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: in majors, like it in golf the other day, you name.

90
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: It is fascinating to watch. It is riveting TV. For

91
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: as great as it is to watch a guy with

92
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: just a historic performance, you could argue there's nothing quite

93
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: like a collapse. Now, if you're betting on someone or

94
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: a huge fan of the team, it sucks. It is

95
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: gut wrenching. I'll never forget when I was a kid,

96
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: I was a big Sacramento Kings fan, and they have

97
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: the Lakers on the ropes and then Robert or actually

98
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: Vlatti tipped it out to Robert Ori and he hit

99
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: a and then the mob got involved with him Donogy

100
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: and the rest is history. And it was it sucked,

101
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: But from an entertainment value. It didn't get much better.

102
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: I was at Game seven of the twenty sixteen NBA

103
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: Finals when the Warriors lost to the Cavs. Now I

104
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: was rooting for the Warriors, but you were on the

105
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: edge of your seat watching that game. And I think

106
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: the powerful emotion that watching someone or a team fall

107
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: apart there, you could argue there's nothing quite like it

108
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: in all of sports. I'm recording this before the basketball

109
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: game the night you know, the hockey game. The Oilers

110
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: were dead to rights and somehow they won like seventy

111
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: five to one the other night. But if either one

112
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: of those two teams were to come back, it just

113
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: would be a historic collapse. And by the time you

114
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: got to game six or seven, it'd be pretty riveting.

115
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: And the thing you've seen in football is because forever,

116
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: like in golf, which I like Tiger Woods as much

117
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: as any athlete of all time, it felt like when

118
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: he was in control, he was never gonna lose, he

119
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: was never gonna choke, and it felt like people fell

120
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: apart around him. And I think you see that sometimes

121
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: in football, and I think Patrick Mahomes and just the

122
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs in general, because unlike golf, it's not an individual sport.

123
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes this year relied on his defense to be awesome,

124
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: and they were. But it does feel like when you're

125
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: playing him in a big game, other guys get tight.

126
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: And you saw it this year with Lamar Jackson and

127
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator got really tight and had an awful

128
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: game and they blew it. I was all in on

129
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens for that game. I had five thousand dollars

130
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: on them, which is a large NFL bet for me.

131
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: And even though I know Andy and Veach and I

132
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: love those guys, it's not like Howard the Ravens gonna

133
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: lose this game and then by the end of the

134
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: first half, like this is a joke? What is going on?

135
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson to me right now are

136
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: the second and third best quarterback Burrows in his own

137
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: little category. He's the one guy that slayed the dragon.

138
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: But he's been injured. It's hard to know if he

139
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: can sustain a season right now. He's got a big

140
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: year coming up. Can't he stay on the field. But

141
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: we've seen him do it, like he got over the

142
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: hump hell he was winning the Super Bowl with I

143
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: don't know how many minutes left? Five six minutes left

144
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: against the LA Rams easily could have won the Super Bowl.

145
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: Like I've seen Joe Burrow not get tight, not play

146
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: bad in big moments. And I think when you look

147
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: at Lamar Jackson and you look at Josh Allen going

148
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: against Mahomes, it's like they've kind of had different routes.

149
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: Because the thirteen second loss to the Kansaity Chiefs, when

150
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills blew it, that was not on Josh Allen.

151
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: I looked at Josh Allen's playoff numbers today. He's been

152
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: remarkable in the playoffs. He has twenty one touchdowns and

153
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: four interceptions. And if you would have told me like

154
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: sounds about right because the itt he has been a

155
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: baller in the playoffs. And you know what the Chiefs

156
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: will tell you, we'd rather play Lamar Jackson than Josh Allen.

157
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: I don't blame them. I think if you put Josh

158
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Allen on this Ravens team, Chiefs don't win that game.

159
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: You are dependent as a quarterback on your defense, on

160
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: your coaching staff. It wasn't his fault. The defense, I

161
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: don't know, had no clue what they were doing. A

162
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: couple years ago, and you look at Lamar Jackson. His

163
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: statistics in the playoffs have not been good. He's throwing

164
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: six touchdowns and six interceptions. He's had some good rushing performances,

165
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: but in the losses they have not been good. Now,

166
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: the rushing performance against the Chiefs, I don't put that

167
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: all on him. That's on the offensive coordinator. I don't

168
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: know called double the amount of runs. But ultimately watching

169
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: those teams lose to the Chiefs is just a fascinating

170
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: experience and to overcome this. And this is a thing

171
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: I've been saying about the Chiefs for a while. They

172
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: feel a little bit like Tiger Woods right now. Who

173
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: is going to bet against them this year in a

174
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: playoff game, whether it's on the road, whether it's at home.

175
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes is there, and Andy Reid is there, and Chris

176
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: Jones and Travis Kelster are playing. There ain't a soul

177
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: who's betting against them, because you'd be crazy too. It

178
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they're always going to win the game.

179
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: But I grew up. People forget this because Peyton now

180
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: is considered a top five quarterback up until he had

181
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: the crazy comeback against Tom Brady he was viewed as

182
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: a choke artist. He really was, and that word sometimes

183
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: can be strong, right, some guys, sometimes you just play bad.

184
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: Right did Lamar choke against the Chiefs Or did he

185
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: get tight? Did he just play poorly? Was it bad

186
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: play calling? Like Roy choked? John Vandervelt choked Peyton Manning?

187
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: I thought, And I was a huge Peyton Manning guy

188
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 1: in high school and in college up until he won

189
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. I was rooting for him. I was

190
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: I just root for the Colts because I loved watching

191
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: him play. He got tight in the playoffs. Now did

192
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: he choke? Did he overthink it? Did he not play well?

193
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it was crazy to experience. And

194
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: then once you win that championship, it kind of goes away.

195
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: And for Rory, for example, like he choked, but he

196
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: already has four majors. So even if he never wins

197
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: another major, which I disagree with, I think he's gonna

198
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: win one. Even Bryson said that in the back of

199
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: like in his resume, he goes, I'm a champion and

200
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: that's the one thing. And you could throw Burrow in

201
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: this too. Until you do it in the football one,

202
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee it's really hard. And two, like, you

203
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: always have that kind of pressure on your shoulder to

204
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: get it done, you specifically and the team, but you're

205
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: very dependent on the coaching staff. You're very dependent on

206
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: obviously if you're a quarterback of the defense, and whether

207
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: you're playing on the road, whether you're playing at home.

208
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: But I know this, and this is what makes football

209
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: so awesome because we've had historic collapses. Anyone listening to

210
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: me for a long time knows. I thought Brandon Saley

211
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: was a joke. But the moment that happened on the

212
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: road against Jacksonville a couple of years ago in the playoffs,

213
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: how could anyone take him seriously? I mean, that's one

214
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: of I think statistically it's like the worst collapse in

215
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: playoff history. Maybe the Bills against the Oilers had a

216
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: bigger comeback, but it had to be right up there.

217
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: But it was the way it happened, right Trevor Lawrence

218
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: had thrown all the picks, they were cruising, and then

219
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't even know if they have enough

220
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: possessions to come back, and then they found a way

221
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: to do it, like twenty eight to three. Now, part

222
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: of it is because it was the Patriots, because it

223
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: was Belichick and Brady. But let's face it, as big

224
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: of a story as that is for the Patriots, it's

225
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: honestly bigger of a story for the Atlanta Falcons and

226
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: the collapse they had. You just never shake that. But

227
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, it's gonna be fascinating to watch

228
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: if the Bills and the Ravens. Whenever you have an

229
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: elite quarterback in the peak of his powers, there's no

230
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: guarantee that, like, you know, we couldn't get it done

231
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: in his prime, but when he was older, Mike Shanahan

232
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: came and la won a couple and then he retired.

233
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: That isn't you gotta take care of business now? And

234
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: I just think both these two quarterbacks, obviously there's more

235
00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: pressure on Lamar because how poor his playoff resume is

236
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: then Josh because a lot would chuck it up. It's

237
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: not really his fault, the defense and the coaching staff,

238
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: like what the hell were they doing? But either way,

239
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: you either win a championship or you don't. You either

240
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: get it done in these big moments or you don't.

241
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: And both of them are losing to the same guy

242
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: in the same team. So I'm riveted by just disastrous

243
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: joke jobs. I just tell me that this is gonna

244
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: be an epic collapse, and I'm sitting on the couch

245
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: And the reality is most of us are. Because you

246
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: could argue that is more entertaining than anything in sports. Okay,

247
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. My first reaction was, holy shit, that is insanity,

248
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: And several days later, I haven't changed my opinion that much.

249
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: And I think the conventional wisdom when it comes to

250
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: these contracts is the price only goes up, it can

251
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: only go up. That's actually not true. Stocks, for example,

252
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: which players I think have a lot in comparison to

253
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: You're either ascending or you're descending. You're either going up

254
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: or you're going down. You're not guaranteed to get better.

255
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: Just because I buy something that's going up doesn't mean

256
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: that it can't come down, right, just because you buy

257
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: something that's low doesn't mean it can't fly up. We

258
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: see it all the time in football, see it all

259
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: the time in sports. You sign guys to low contracts

260
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: and they fall out seed and exceed those expectations of

261
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: the money you're paying them. And we have a long

262
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: list of guys, especially in football, that you pay a

263
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: lot of money to and do not live up to

264
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: the contract. I'll defend over paying guys in free agency

265
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: because typically they have a five, potentially a six year

266
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: body of work. You have seen what they have done.

267
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: This is essentially buying that it's going to get dramatically

268
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: better than what it's been now. Unlike a lot of

269
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: people I think, like on the internet, I don't just

270
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: think Trevor Lawrence sucks, like this guy over it. It's

271
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: not really debatable that he has not lived up to

272
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: the hype, not even close. Andrew luck by year three,

273
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: you knew the guy was a rocket ship. He literally

274
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: was rattling off playoff victories with a pretty average roster,

275
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: and let's face it, a joke of a head coach

276
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence last year. And here's where I knew, Like

277
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: at the combine, all these coaches in the media kind

278
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: of area where they do their press conferences are just

279
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: kind of lingering around. You can bullshit with them. And

280
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: I've known Doug since I worked with him with the Eagles,

281
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: and we were just shooting the shit talking about his kids,

282
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: and I started asking them about Trevor Lawrence and he

283
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: loves them, and it was not like he had no

284
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: reason to lie to me. I mean, we're kind of bsing,

285
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: and it was clear like I don't think he's joking.

286
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: He really likes him, and clearly by the jags of actions,

287
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: they really like the guy. And I'm all four really

288
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: liking the guy and really believing in the guy. But

289
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't you rather pay an extra fifteen percent of what

290
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: you're willing to pay right now to just feel really

291
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: good about this? You just guaranteed him almost one hundred

292
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars the moment he signed his contract.

293
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: The overall practical guarantees are two hundred million dollars. Like,

294
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: if I'm going to sign one of those contracts, I

295
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: can't have any questions. Even if you're not Peyton Manning

296
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: or Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, I still got to

297
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about you. This is where I go

298
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: to the Lions. Could Jared Goff today think that he

299
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: kind of got screwed because there is no number on

300
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: a contract. If I'm Jared Goff that should be lower

301
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: than what Trevor Lawrence signs for. This is not about

302
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: This is not about what people projected me to be

303
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: in this notion, and listen, I like Albert Breer a lot,

304
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: and I don't think he's wrong here. This contract represents

305
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: what they think he's gonna be. I think that's a

306
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: crazy mindset to have. That's why you have draft picks.

307
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm drafting this guy number one overall, number seven overall,

308
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: number fifteen overall because of what I think he's gonna

309
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: be in the next four or five years. When I

310
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: sign a guy to a contract, obviously, when you're a

311
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: younger player under twenty five twenty six years old, there's

312
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: still room for growth, but you gotta be a large

313
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: percentage of what you're gonna be. I've already had to experience.

314
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: His best year was two years ago. He threw twenty

315
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. Last year was an utter disaster, and I

316
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: think the Jags would say, well, he was banged up, Well, okay,

317
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: can he play a season healthy and throw thirty five touchdowns?

318
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: Can he be clearly one of the best six to

319
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: seven quarterbacks in the NFL? Not a guy that many

320
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: would say guy. There are a lot of weeks where

321
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: he's not even a top twenty guy. I never understand.

322
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: Let's just see a little more when you have a

323
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: lot of questions all for Micah Parsons right now after

324
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: year three, if the Cowboys want to give him an

325
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: astronomical amount of money, get it. I have seen him

326
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: play at a really high level for a long period

327
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: of time. Right now, if he just maintains what he's been,

328
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: we're in good shape. Obviously, you want him to improve,

329
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: as you would with any young employee in any industry.

330
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: But anytime you got to guess, like God, I hope

331
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: this works out. That's crazy when you pay I mean

332
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: just premium amounts of money. Now, Jared Goff did get

333
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: double the amount of a signing bonus. Trevor Lawrence got

334
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: thirty seven million dollars in the momentc He's signed a contract,

335
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: which is a lot of money to ninety nine point

336
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of people. Jared Goff got seventy three

337
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: million dollars. Anyone that's taken any you know, business or

338
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: economic classes, time value money. You'd rather have money up front. Obviously,

339
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: with how much hit cost and inflation, I mean, the

340
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: dollars lost twenty percent of its value in like three

341
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: year span. So big win for Jared Goff. But when

342
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: it comes to overall guarantees, there's a pretty wide gap there.

343
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: So if I'm Jared Goff, I'm probably not losing much

344
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: sleep over this, but it's kind of crazy. I also

345
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: don't quite understand if I'm the Jags the moment Jared

346
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: Goff signs his contract, whose resume is dramatically better, who's

347
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: been doing it for a much longer period of time,

348
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: also a number one pick. Also a number one pick

349
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: who has several seasons at a really high level that

350
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: has led his team and put his team in the

351
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: position to win a Super Bowl. Wouldn't you like to

352
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: see just one season, like, hey, coming off a rough year,

353
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: let's bounce back. See if you can win us ten

354
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: eleven games, have us back in the playoffs. Then we'll

355
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: feel very comfortable doing this because we bought into the

356
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: hype when we drafted you. We obviously really like the

357
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: person which matters at quarterback, The character of the work ethic,

358
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: all that stuff is a part that's hard for us

359
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: to quantify on the outside, which obviously they like, which

360
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: I understand. But this is a production based business. You

361
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: have to produce on the field. Like I don't know,

362
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: if you're one of the great prospects of all time

363
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: and have all this talent. He's like, wow, we don't

364
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: have the receivers. I don't know. You should be able

365
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: to throw thirty touchdowns in seventeen games in the way

366
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: this game is officiated in twenty twenty four. So I'm

367
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: not trying to act like I wouldn't want this guy

368
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: on my team. But I don't ever understand the rush

369
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: to sign guys. I would understand if he was going

370
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: into his franchise tag year or he was a true

371
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: free agent. You're like it, he had our back against

372
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: the wall. We just what were we gonna do? Okay,

373
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: I get it, it was a weird position. You're kind

374
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: of stuck. You're not stuck at all. Pick up his

375
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: fifth year option, plays his fourth year, and let's evaluate

376
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: another season like this number, this notion that is only

377
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: gonna go up. Well, what if he has another season

378
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: just like he just had? Would you feel comfortable doing

379
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: that again? Because if he has a season just like

380
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: you just had, this contract's gonna feel awful. It's gonna

381
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: feel terrible, and you did not have to do it.

382
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: So I guess my overall reaction was, like most people,

383
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: this feels insane. This feels overly aggressive. This feels overly

384
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: aggressive for what, like, what race are you running here?

385
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: Are you afraid to get? Laugh to pay an extra

386
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: two million dollars per year next season? If things go great,

387
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: well great, then we're all feeling good about it. But

388
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: right now I'd say, universally around football, I got good

389
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: luck to you guys. That seems pretty bold. And that's

390
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: where the Lions like gotta feel really really good about

391
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: the contract they signed. Obviously, they gave him a big

392
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: signing bonus, but they know they can win with a guy.

393
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: They've seen him a couple of years ago, win on

394
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: the road in the cold in Green Bay, which is

395
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: a huge question with Jared Gop but he's never gonna

396
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: be a great outdoors quarterback. But there don't deep and

397
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: their team's really good, and they know for the next

398
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: several years they can win with this guy. You cannot

399
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: with a straight face say that with a Jacks. You

400
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: really can't, because if it wasn't for one of the

401
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: greatest playoff collapses we've ever seen, led by a guy

402
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: that will never be a head coach ever, again, they

403
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a playoff victory they shouldn't have that playoff victory,

404
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: but they do. And listen, Lawrence played really well in

405
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: the second half. He showed a lot of mental toughness.

406
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: But man, that first half also happened. And that's really

407
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: what he's hanging his hat on. Like that game turns

408
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: the ball over at just rapid rates the picks. Here's

409
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: the thing with Trevor Lawrence and Andrew luck was somewhat like this.

410
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't have a howitzer. I would not say

411
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: that he has a top six to seven arm in

412
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. So his game at the NFL level is

413
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: predicated on timing rhythm. You know, he's got to play

414
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: much closer to like Peyton Manning and Philip River and

415
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: those guys. And when you watch him play, that's not

416
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: really how he plays. The fumbles were atrocious. I don't know, man,

417
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: we always got to be early, do you, I mean,

418
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: do you? Couldn't you just take a deep breath and

419
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: see where this goes. That's where I think the biggest

420
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: winner in this whole thing is Dakota Prescott. Now, I

421
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: could not if I was the Cowboys sign him to

422
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: this contract. Couldn't do it. I have to see how

423
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: this season goes, can you win some playoff games? Can

424
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: you play better in January? Because if I'm signing you

425
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: to this contract, and if anything, Dak would go this contract,

426
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm way better in this guy. And he's not wrong.

427
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: He's been better than Trevor Lawrence for a long period

428
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: of time, not even debatable. Under no measure could you

429
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: make the argument that Trevor Lawrence is better than Dak Prescott.

430
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: And obviously Dak's been in the league, playing at a

431
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: high level for a much longer period of time than

432
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: this guy. But I could not do it if I

433
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: was the Cowboys. If I have to pay quote unquote

434
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: next year a premium after he wins three playoff games

435
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: and we lose in the Super Bowl, great, that would

436
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: be a historic moment for the Cowboys given that they

437
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: haven't made it the NFC Championship game since the mid nineties.

438
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: But I just don't know how you pay this money

439
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: to Dak Prescott because essentially you tie yourself to him

440
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: for three four years and you're basically just cool with

441
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: doing what you've been doing. At least the Jags have

442
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: the opportunity what could be? Even though what could be,

443
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: there's a decent chance that never materializes in anything, Like

444
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: you do know what Dak is. You're just kind of

445
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: hoping that he can have a hot stretch in the playoffs,

446
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: which I've said for a while is definitely possible. We

447
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: have seen guys who aren't as good as Dak have

448
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: incredible stretches in the playoffs. I mean, that Flacco stretch

449
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: is one of the craziest things we've ever seen. The

450
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: Eli Manning stretches multiple times. It was an outlier toward

451
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: his career. But when you do that, even if I

452
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: got to pay you probably more than I'm comfortable with. Plan.

453
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: As Brian Winhor says, you never apologize for championships, And

454
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: it's true, like ultimately that flack of contract didn't age

455
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: well after he won the ring, but he won the

456
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: freaking ring. The Cowboys can't even get to the last

457
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: weekend of the conference championship. I just think they're kind

458
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: of in a weird position now. I can't imagine that

459
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: had to be a jolting contract when it came out

460
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, brass and I don't blame them this

461
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: notion of like, oh they wait too long. Yeah, you

462
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 1: can make that argument for you know position players, but

463
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: with Dak at this point in time, like, I think

464
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: it's worth waiting. Another guy who I think is in

465
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: a weird spot is Jordan Love. You know, he hasn't

466
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: made any money in his career relative to quarterbacks, right,

467
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: he was a late first round pick. Instead of getting

468
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: his fifth year option, he I give the Packers credit,

469
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: they kind of offered him this extension that was way

470
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: lower than the fifth year option, which was more than justified.

471
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: He had never played a snap, so it's like two

472
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: years I think eleven or twelve million dollars, which was

473
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: a smart contingency plan for them. But then Jordan Love's

474
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: last eight games look unlike anything we've seen out of

475
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence has never had a stretch like

476
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: that one. Physically, he does not possess the arm that

477
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Love does. Jordan Love's eight game stretch, while a

478
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: small sample size, did look like Aaron Rodgers. I mean,

479
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: that's that's what it looked like. And then he went

480
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: in to Dallas on the road and eviscerated those guys.

481
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: But if I'm Jordan Love, because if I played this out,

482
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: because if I have another year like the last eight games,

483
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: and I'm a Pro Bowl level guy in the NFC,

484
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred and eighty two hundred million dollar guy.

485
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: And if I'm the Packers, based on even I'm sure

486
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: I love the guy. I feel very confident in the guy.

487
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: I drafted the guy Gutakins in the floor. What he

488
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: showed last year was incredible. I still would like a

489
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: little more before I cut that check. I'm probably offering

490
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: more of the Cousins deal, Like, hey man, we'll give

491
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: you like forty five million dollars, but it's we're talking

492
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: one hundred guaranteed. We ain't sniffing the two hundred number.

493
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: If I'm Jordan Love and I'm confident in myself, now listen,

494
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: Football's risky guys get injured all the time. Things change quickly.

495
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: I go, well, the infrastructure here is pretty awesome. My

496
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: offensive weaponry is pretty bad ass. It's like the young

497
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: youngest unit in the league wide receivers tight end. Now

498
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: we add Josh Jacobs, Like, I'm feeling pretty good about

499
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: my chances. Let's see how the first eight games go.

500
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: Then maybe we can talk contract extension in the middle

501
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: of the season. Because I would not sign a quote

502
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: unquote team friendly deal. And listen, even if he signed

503
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: him to a Kirk Cousins contract, if that eight games

504
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: turned out to be just like an outlier of his career,

505
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: that'd be a disaster, and that'd be a disaster for Fast.

506
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 1: But if I'm Jordan Love, I'm probably feeling pretty confident

507
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: that I can replicate what I just did and become

508
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks in the NFC, because look

509
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: at his competition, that's the other thing, and the asty

510
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: is difficult. You got Mahomes, you got Josh Allen, you

511
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: got Lamar Jackson, you got Joe Burrow, you got Justin Herbert,

512
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: you got studs everywhere in the NFC. It's like Rock Purty,

513
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: really good player, good team. Jared goff McVeigh once kicked

514
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:25,479
Speaker 1: them to the curb Dakota Prescott because back to dak Like,

515
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: if I'm the Cowboys, let's play this out, just see

516
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: how it goes, and if we lose in the Round

517
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: one of the playoffs, maybe it's just time for us

518
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: to pivot and you can go to the Raiders, which

519
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure would be gladly pay you a lot of

520
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: money because they would die to go to the playoffs.

521
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm Jordan Love like I'm taking a deep breath to uh,

522
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: what's even to be said at this point? How could

523
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: any human being, including Mike McDaniel, including Stephen Ross, including

524
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: any Dolphin fan, be remotely comfortable discussing these type numbers

525
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: for this player based on the information we have. We've

526
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: seen two straight years. He was banged up two years ago,

527
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: which is a concern. It's not his fault he's getting concussions,

528
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: but he got him and last year just fell apart,

529
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: crumbled like a cookie. How could you even entertain discussing

530
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: any of these numbers? I couldn't. I'm not acting like

531
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: he's some scrub. I'm not acting like the guy should

532
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: be a backup. But not everyone should get these amounts

533
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: of money. We've seen it in the NBA for years.

534
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: It's like, wait, DeMar Derozen and Zach Levine make the

535
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: same amount as Anthony Davis and Steph Curry. So yet

536
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 1: not all contracts were equal, even if the money is.

537
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: Because some guys have a dramatically bigger impact than others,

538
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: and when you pay Patrick Mahomes or josh Al Lamar

539
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: Jackson a lot of money, those guys are ass kickers.

540
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: When you pay two a lot of money, that just

541
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: limit your cap space to have to surround him with

542
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: talent because he can't to it by himself. Hell, we

543
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: don't even know if he can do it when he

544
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: has help in the biggest moments when it gets cold.

545
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: So I don't even know what the discussion is there.

546
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: To me, it's a no brainer. We're playing this thing

547
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,959
Speaker 1: out and last, but not least like, Rock Purty has

548
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: been objectively better than Trevor Lawrence. The only difference in

549
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: the two guys is one guy was the most hype

550
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: guy since Andrew Luck and the other guy was a

551
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: seventh round mister irrelevant. But on the field, rock Purty's

552
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: been a way better player. David Lobardi, who covers the

553
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, tweeted out some statistics, and his agent

554
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: retweeted it. I think the forty nine ers probably can't

555
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: be happy with this number either, because now if brock

556
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: Purty is another season like he did last year, Niners

557
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: are one of the best teams. He throws thirty plus touchdowns,

558
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: they win a couple of playoff games. I remember we're

559
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: talking two ten, two hundred and fifteen million dollars a year.

560
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: That's the price. I mean, that's that's the going rate.

561
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: And the difference of like Tua is like, this guy's

562
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: proving it in big games. You're winning with this guy,

563
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: and we could argue is pretty good enough. We still

564
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: gotta see more. I like him, I mean he's been

565
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: really good, but like I've seen him play well in

566
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: big games. I've seen him come through in big moments.

567
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: Can't say that about a lot of these other guys.

568
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: Definitely to a Donga Bai looa same with Dak Prescott.

569
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: Guy falls apart in the playoffs. It's gonna be awfully

570
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: interesting and I'm un phazed by like this money's all relative.

571
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: It's not like fifty five sounds so big. No, this

572
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: is the new number. But just because it's the new

573
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: number doesn't mean everyone should get that number. Doesn't mean

574
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: every team should sign these long term contracts. And we've

575
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: seen in recent memories some of these. Russell Wilson has

576
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: been an utter disaster. It's one of the worst contracts

577
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: in NFL history. The guy didn't even make it through

578
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: two years. They cut him. They're eating eighty five million

579
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: dollars in dead cap space. I've defended Dak a lot

580
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: of money, but at least he's giving you twelve wins

581
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: a season and giving you a couple of home playoff games.

582
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: Are you losing them? But at least you're hosting them? Man,

583
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: NFL contracts got crazy, and they got crazy fast business booming.

584
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: No disputing that a couple other things. Ayuk went on

585
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: TikTok and said, the forty nine ers don't want me anymore.

586
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: I guess he's vlogging his his free agent He's not

587
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: even a free agent his offseason, he's vlogging his contract negotiations.

588
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels was a freshman at Arizona State when Ayuk

589
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: was there, and there's still buddies. Here's the thing, man,

590
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: There have been a lot of different reports about a

591
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: lot of different numbers. The Niners came in, like twenty five,

592
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: twenty six. He wants over thirty. My stance has been

593
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: pretty clear. I'd be uncomfortable breaking the bank, even for

594
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: a really good winning player, when my offense doesn't really

595
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: operate like that. Obviously, if the forty nine ers can choose,

596
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: and all things were equal, they would get rid of

597
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel and keep Brandon Ayuk. But it's not that simple.

598
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: They already paid Deebo Samuel. His contract impacts their salary cap.

599
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayyuk is you know all these guys are getting paid.

600
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: He wants his money. I do think this is a

601
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: complicated negotiation. Now, is Brandon Ayuk worth it to them

602
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: to pay twenty eight twenty nine million dollars. I'd make

603
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: the argument no. Now, if Deebo Samuel did not exist,

604
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: I would probably change my argument. But he does, and

605
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: his contract happened, and you could argue the way that

606
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: they've played since they got Christian McCaffrey. Brandon Ayuk's a

607
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: fantastic player, and he's a productive player, and he can

608
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: play on the outside and get opened down the field

609
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: unlike Deebo Samuel. But Deebo Samuel exists, like they did

610
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: that contract, which I think they kind of regretted it

611
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: because the last two years has not gone perfectly for

612
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: that player. Uh, But I think it's a complicated spot.

613
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: Here's the problem, Like the forty nine ers aren't just

614
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: getting rid of you. This is not the NBA where

615
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: it's like they don't want me. I'm out Now, you

616
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: can just play for fourteen million dollars. What are you

617
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: gonna do not play well hurt your value? Do I

618
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: think ideally the forty nine ers would like to get

619
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: this done? I do? Do I think they would love

620
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: to pay him twenty five million dollars? I do? Do

621
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: I think I would want thirty million? Of course he does.

622
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 1: But I don't see this getting done anytime soon because

623
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: one thing with the forty nine ers, they drove a

624
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: hard bargain with Nick Bosa, who plays the second most

625
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: important position in the league, and it is just a

626
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: way better player than Brandon. I you can a vacuum.

627
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think this is gonna get

628
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: ugly in training camp. And I'm not as phased by

629
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: like putting stuff out on media, unfollowing people TikTok and Instagram,

630
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: Like I don't really give a shit. Maybe it's just

631
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: in my older age, like it does mean anything to

632
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: me because money talk, shit walks, nothing else matters. And

633
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk does not control any of this situation. If

634
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't show up to training camp, he gets fined.

635
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: He just got fined one hundred grand not showing up

636
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: to mini camp. Which here's the other thing I'd say

637
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have handled these pretty simply. Nick

638
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: Bosa wanted a new contract, he showed up and just

639
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: stood there. I guess Nick Bosa this last year when

640
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: he won, he held out. But Deebo is a better example.

641
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: He did the whole in. He showed up and just

642
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: stood there on the side. I went to those practices

643
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: and ended up getting paid. But like Ayuk's not Nick Bosa,

644
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: So like taking that tack, I'm always a proponent of

645
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: hold ins. Show up, be around, be your smiley self,

646
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: and just don't practice because holding out creates such a

647
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: big firestorm and it doesn't really do anything. Ultimately, you're

648
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be any more likely to pay the guy.

649
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. The forty nine ers drafted a

650
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the first round. I don't think that

651
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: was just random. Now. It's not simply because of it's

652
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: also because of debo and they need better outside weapons,

653
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: guys that can get opened down the field because they

654
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: could not get opened against the Yantasy's chiefs. Are you

655
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: could the other guys couldn't? Be interesting how this plays

656
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: out a couple other things. In season, Hard Knocks is

657
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: going to do an entire division. They're gonna do the

658
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: AFC North, which is actually pretty fascinating. Those are teams

659
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: that I'd definitely be interested in watching. You know, you

660
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: got Tomlin, the Steelers, get the Deshaun Watson situation. You

661
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: got burrow In, the Bengals, and the Ravens. So I

662
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: hard Knocks, I've said for a while, isn't necessarily for me.

663
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: I dabbled a little in season hard Knocks? Was it

664
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: last year or two years ago with the Miami Dolphins.

665
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: Wasn't too terrible. Had definitely had some moments. It's it's

666
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,959
Speaker 1: kind of cooler to see because the ebb and flow

667
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: of the season. To me, it's better than the training

668
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: camp won But I like this idea. I'll definitely pay

669
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: attention if there's some fun clips, maybe I'm more inclined

670
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,959
Speaker 1: to hit play on some episodes. Belichick has a twenty

671
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: four year old girlfriend that that that was making the rounds.

672
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what anyone expects. A seventy two year

673
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: old guy worth probably hundreds of millions of dollars. Who

674
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: do you think he's gonna date sixty eight year old?

675
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: What do you think the guy's gonna do? So props

676
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: to Bill for you know, chasing younger women and having

677
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: a good time, live your own life. Don't let judgment

678
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: creep in. Clearly Bill doesn't give a shit. He's single

679
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: and he's ready to mingle. And five million dollars per

680
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: AD for Netflix on Christmas Day, they paid one hundred

681
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars. They paid seventy five million dollars

682
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: per game, which, on its surface, like, jeez, it's a

683
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: lot of money per game. Well, I don't know how

684
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: many ads are in a given game, but just think

685
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: there are a lot of breaks and one ad. How

686
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: many ads are typically in a break two or three minimum?

687
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: Are they going to make this money back pretty seamlessly? Now,

688
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: maybe they don't get five million dollars per AD for

689
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: every single slot, but they're definitely getting millions because one

690
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: thing we know is those Christmas games. If I had

691
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: to guess, fifteen plus million people are gonna watch the games,

692
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: are just gonna be on it every single person's house.

693
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: Some of you guys are a little more serious than

694
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: others in terms of the no TV rule. I think

695
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 1: that was probably more of a thing in like the seventies, eighties, nineties.

696
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: Maybe we've become a little more lax society. Un listen.

697
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: My family always leaned TV on sports on even Christmas

698
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: going on in the background, not saying we were dialed

699
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: into the game as we were eating, but TV was on.

700
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: I would imagine that number of families has grown dramatically

701
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: to just have the television on during Christmas, throughout the

702
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: festivities and definitely eating. It's just on now. And the

703
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: one thing that's easier justified than some is football. Let's

704
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: have the football game on in the background. Who's really complaining.

705
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody so neflick. When it's all said

706
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: and done, what if they double their investment. You know,

707
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: we spend one hundred and fifty, but we made three hundred.

708
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: I don't think it's inconceivable. And then that number moving

709
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: forward probably only goes up for the NFL because this

710
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: was somewhat of a one off, and I've said forever,

711
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: this is only the beginning for Netflix, like in fifteen

712
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: twenty years. To think that we're just gonna turn on NBC,

713
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 1: Fox and CBS, you would have to be pretty naive

714
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: to the way everything has changed in the last five years,

715
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: Like all this stuff's gonna be streamed. NBC is holding

716
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: on for dear life that there's a reason that they

717
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: push Peacock so hard because Peacock has to succeed for

718
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: their business to succeed. Well, Netflix is just an independent

719
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: streaming service that literally everybody has. I think that the

720
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: number in America is well over one hundred million people

721
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: are Netflix subscribers. I personally don't know one human being

722
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: in my life now. Granted I'm not hanging out with

723
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: many sixty and seventy year olds, but my mother, who's

724
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: in her mid seventies, watches Netflix every single night, granted

725
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: on my account, but still she loves it. But no

726
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: one my age or younger does not use Netflix. I

727
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: would say daily basis, like every night you get in bed,

728
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: maybe the first thing you click is anything new on Netflix.

729
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: I would say the average for someone under fifty a family,

730
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if it's not minimum five times a

731
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: week that someone in the house doesn't go to Netflix

732
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 1: and click what's on. And we know how they did

733
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: with the Brady Roast, which was the most streme thing

734
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: they've ever done. This is gonna work. This is gonna

735
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: work really well. Sucks. Mike Tyson got injured. Who would

736
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: have thought a fifty five year old guy you know,

737
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: would have some question marks getting ready for a fight,

738
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: but that fight would have been massive, him and Jake Paul.

739
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 1: It would have been huge. My guess is fifty million

740
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: people would have watched because they would have promoted the

741
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: living hell out of it. Because they control it all.

742
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: They control every time you go to the screen. It's

743
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: why whenever I see the top ten things trending, the

744
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 1: top ten movies, the top ten shows, top ten doctor series,

745
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: maybe they are or maybe those are the ones Netflix

746
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: wants to promote. I don't know. They can really say

747
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: whatever they want. They can do whatever they want. And

748
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: one thing we know is when you spend one hundred

749
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars on two games, you're gonna promote

750
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: the living hell out of that thing. It's gonna work.

751
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: And get ready because I would guess this, whenever the

752
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: next thing comes up, when they negotiate the television deal,

753
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: Netflix is going to be a major player. Okay, let's

754
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: do a little middle cooff mailbag. We're gonna do a

755
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: big one later this week, so UH probably do three

756
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: or four questions here.

757
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: Uh.

758
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: The way you get in the mail bag is very

759
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: easy at John middlecoff my Instagram fire and those dms

760
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: get your question answered on the show, Tristan, My question

761
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: is once again about the Falcons draft. Apparently the Bears

762
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: were willing to trade a fourth rounder to move up

763
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: and secure Rome Madunza. The Falcons refused. If you know

764
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: you have a tampering case going on and a draft

765
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: pick is most likely gonna be taken away from the

766
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: team trying to trade with, you literally just drafted their

767
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: quarterback at number one. Why on earth would you not

768
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: move back one spot to pick up compensation and still

769
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: be able to get the player you wanted if you

770
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: were that locked in on Penix to begin with? Who

771
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: is the second oldest quarterback ever to be drafted in

772
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: the first round? Once again, why pay a thirty five

773
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: year old coming off an achilles? Does the Falcons front

774
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: office ever have a fucking clue what's going on? It

775
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: seems like every year they make they make the most

776
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: puzzling moves, and as a Bucks fan, I'm all for it,

777
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: but their strategy year in and year out is puzzling.

778
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't understand and how you fall in love with

779
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: a player the last month when your job as a

780
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: front office is literally to monitor these guys year round.

781
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: And the answer is simply the coaches in Atlanta, because

782
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: coaches get involved after the combine and after free agency,

783
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: they got more involved, and so it's pretty clear that

784
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: the GM ain't the guy driving the bus. The head

785
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: coach and the offensive coordinator to me, had their hands

786
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: all over this. I also think this when it comes

787
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: to a draft day trade. It never does not make

788
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: sense to trade back one spot and get a free

789
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: draft pick when you know you're going to get the player.

790
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: I think who the Jets trade with Minnesota and in

791
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: the video that they put out inside their draft room,

792
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: Sala looks at Joe Douglas and he's just like free money,

793
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: because that's what it is. We would have taken this

794
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: guy at pick eight. Now we just take him at

795
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: pick nine. We pay them a little less because contracts

796
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: are slotted, and we just get a free four fifths

797
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: third whatever the pick is. It's a no brainer. Now,

798
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: if you were trading you know the Raiders or Minnesota

799
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: or Denver wanted that pick and you're dead set on

800
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: taking the quarterback, then yeah, totally understand turning it down

801
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: because you think, well, they might take the player. But

802
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: like you said, when the Bears call you, you know

803
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: unequivocally they are not gonna take Michael Pennix, even if

804
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: they go, hey, we can't tell you who we're gonna take. Fine,

805
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: you can check the quarterback position off that box. So

806
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 1: I've said what I've said about it. Still can't quite

807
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 1: get over it. Kind of sucks for Pennix. But if

808
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: you were going to select a head coach for your franchise,

809
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: would you prefer to go the route of hiring a

810
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: coordinator from a good team. Would you rather hire a

811
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: college head coach? It seems like most of the college

812
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: head coaches have been failing recently and the coordinator seemed

813
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: to be doing better. But that's just my opinion. I

814
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: think the key to the NFL when you're hiring a

815
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: head coach, it is in the modern day game in

816
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, it is very risky to hire a

817
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: guy with zero NFL experience Urban Meyer. It's undisputed or

818
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: it's undisputed bull. How awesome of a college coach is

819
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: he is? I think he's always been kind of a

820
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: d bag and kind of a fraud, But when he's

821
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: your head coach, he is going to kick some serious ass.

822
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: What happened in Jacksonville was an all time embarrassment. I

823
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 1: mean it really was. Urban Meyer never worked at the NFL. Ever,

824
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 1: he had not spent one day in the NFL. So

825
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: like when people would sniff around on Nick Saban, like

826
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: Nick Saban worked for Belichick for years as a defensive coordinator. Now,

827
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: obviously it's a lot different in nineteen ninety two and

828
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three than it is in twenty eighteen or whenever.

829
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: These teams probably were interested, but still he had been

830
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: around and coached pro players and worked for Belichick. So

831
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: you go listen. This guy has been in a pro building, right.

832
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: I think Lincoln Riley was a guy that a lot

833
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: of people had been interested in a lot, like Chip Kelly.

834
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: So guys, he has no NFL experience none. So when

835
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: you do, when you make moves like that, it's pretty risky.

836
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: Then you get some of these hybrid guys like Bill

837
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: O'Brien's been back and forth. You know, he's a guy

838
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: that's coaching college coaching the pros, so you know that

839
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: he understands both games. And I'm not talking about calling

840
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: a play or designing a scheme for an offense or defense.

841
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking about on a daily basis, dealing with fining players,

842
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: cutting players, just handling situations in the NFL that are

843
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: just different than college. You don't deal with the provosts

844
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: or a booster or a president or an ad or

845
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: the softball coach or any of that bullshit. You deal

846
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: with two people, really, the owner and the GM and

847
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:24,479
Speaker 1: then your team. So you know, Kirby Smart, I don't

848
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: have his resume ut, but I think he worked for

849
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: Nick Saban for a couple of years in Miami. He's

850
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: seen the pro game. But like, would he be a

851
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: good NFL coach, I don't know. I don't know. I

852
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: think it'd be pretty risky. Is he an excellent college coach?

853
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: He's elite? You know. Dan Hurley is a good example.

854
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: Dan Hurley was coaching in high school like ten years ago.

855
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 1: Would he have worked in the pros I don't know.

856
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: He is an elite college coach. I mean he's the

857
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,399
Speaker 1: best of the business. Back to back national championships. Would

858
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: it have gone well with the Lakers, I don't know.

859
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: You've seen it before with college coaches, Like it doesn't

860
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: really work out in the NBA because now the NBA

861
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: and the NFL dynamics are a little bit different, but

862
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: still like you're dealing with a lot more people that

863
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: make a lot more money than you. So I would

864
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: just be very hesitant. Like when you look around college,

865
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: think who the best coaches are? You know, obviously Kirby

866
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: Knicks now retired, Lane Kiffen Harbaugh is a good example.

867
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: He was a hybrid. He had coached both and he

868
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: had played, so like he played in the NFL for

869
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: fifteen years and then his career started with the Raiders

870
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: of dal Davis. So when he got back to the

871
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, Yeah, he had been coached in college

872
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: with San Diego and Stanford for a while, but like,

873
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: he had played in the league for fifteen years and

874
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: his brother was an NFL coach, so he was pretty

875
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 1: dialed into the league. And it's why he goes back

876
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: to Michigan. Now he comes back to the Chargers, like

877
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna be successful now. It also goes both ways,

878
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: like could Andy Reid or Mike or one of those

879
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: guys handle college I don't know, Like they would have

880
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: to deal with a lot of stuff they're not used

881
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: to dealing with eighties conferences, like I don't know, it's

882
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: probably a pain in the ass. I just like when

883
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: you know someone knows what they're doing. Matt Ruhle, think

884
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: about him. Matt Ruhle had a ton of success in

885
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: college at Baylor, at Temple, and then David Temper gave

886
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: him all this money. He had coached for one season

887
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: in the Pros as the assistant offensive line coach for

888
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: the Giants. Like, that's pretty risky. If a guy has

889
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: a resume of several years in the pros position coach coordinator,

890
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: I would feel better about hiring a college coach. But

891
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: if a guy either has zero experience or one year

892
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean Chip Kelly got eaten up and spitting out

893
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: in the Pros after a couple of years. Couldn't deal

894
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 1: with people, couldn't deal with players. That's a huge part

895
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: of being successful in the NFL, of like, do your

896
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: players respect you? And like you think about the way

897
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: these guys talk about Andy Reid, Mike Tomlin, Kyle and McVeigh,

898
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: all the guys in Green Bay clearly leve lafloora, I mean,

899
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: hell Aaron Rodgers level of floor. I think college coaches

900
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's just a different human dynamic when you're

901
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: dealing with a nineteen year old and you're dealing with

902
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: a thirty two year old with two kids, a seventy

903
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: million in the bank, and as as serious as you.

904
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: I remember, you know in Lashawn and DeShawn talked about this,

905
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: but the Niners did the same thing. Like you can't

906
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: ask Joe Staley to have a shake every night, Like

907
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: he doesn't want a protein shake. He does it his

908
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: own way. He's been in the league a decade. Let

909
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: him figure it out. You can't tell Jason Peters what

910
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: to eat. He's a grown man. He'll figure it out. Now,

911
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart and guys like that might not be doing that.

912
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 1: But I think it's just a slippery slope of just

913
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: dealing with a different wiring of human. Now rookies in

914
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 1: the pros would you'd have a pretty good feel for those.

915
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: But it's a lot different. Like deal with Cam Hayward

916
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: or Trent Williams. Like Trent Williams doesn't want to work

917
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: out today, Are you gonna get really mad at him,

918
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: try to find him, make him run or something, or

919
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,720
Speaker 1: just like, hey, he's thirty five year old Hall of Famer.

920
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: You do what you do Trent. We're good. See you

921
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: on Sundays. Mail back question, which trade is the bigger

922
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 1: heist in your opinion? Watson to the Browns or Wilson

923
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: to the Broncos. Houston, in return for Watson got Pierce Anderson, Kenyon, Green,

924
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: Tank Dell in a corner in this year's draft. Broncos

925
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: in return got Cross, Witherspoon, f Locke and a few more.

926
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: Recently started my full time job working at a plumbing company.

927
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: Podcast makes the day go by quicker congret. I actually

928
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: got a couple of plumbing issues right now. One of

929
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: my bathroom sinks smelling a little weird. I would say

930
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: you have to factor in more than just the draft picks,

931
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: because ultimately Houston, by trading him, bottomed out and sucked,

932
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: and that essentially led to CJ. Stroud and that changed

933
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: their franchise. So you have to factor in getting rid

934
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: of the guy. Do you bottom out and suck, which

935
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: Houston was trying to do. Seattle was trying to kind

936
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: of maintain and sustain it, but two years later Pete

937
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: Carroll got fired. Now both of them are big wins.

938
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: Watson the massage therapist, the drama. Just get out of here. Russell,

939
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,919
Speaker 1: the Prima Donna, not listening to anybody thinking you're more

940
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 1: important than the operation. Both of them had to clearly,

941
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 1: looking back, made the right decision. But in twenty twenty four,

942
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: who's in the better spot not really debatable. It's Houston

943
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: because they have CJ. Stroud. Now Seattle won, they got

944
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 1: rid of Russell, they got a bunch of really good

945
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: players tackle dB cap space, but they still don't have

946
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback. So I would say Houston because indirectly that

947
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: trade did lead to CG. Stroud. Now you had to

948
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: go through a couple coaching debacles to get there, but

949
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: you got there. What does Bryson's win do for Live? Nothing.

950
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm not a Live hater, but I don't consume it,

951
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 1: and neither does anybody. I don't think anyone is more

952
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 1: likely to turn on the CW and watch guys play

953
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: fifty four holes. Part of what makes bryceon special you

954
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: saw at the PGA and you saw at the US

955
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: Open is competing over the weekend in a four round

956
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: tournament like Live doesn't have that. They will never have that.

957
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: And maybe by the time you're listening to this, they're

958
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: supposed to be an agreement. Who knows that the merge

959
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: getting back together, but I don't think his does nothing.

960
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: Like I don't think anyone is more inclined to watch

961
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: live now. I mean they've had him the whole time.

962
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: I mean he has been a big draw for them,

963
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: and no one watches. We're not gonna consume that why,

964
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: cause doesn't kind of boring and it doesn't matter. There's

965
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: nothing on the line beside money. And part of the

966
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: reason we watch sports is like, and Celtics finally win

967
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, is there any chance the Oilers can

968
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: come storming back and make David win the Stanley Cup?

969
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: Because we know how important those moments are, Like, we

970
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: know what a big deal it is to win the

971
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: US Open. It's like, why did we get so into

972
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not the biggest tennis guy, but Federer,

973
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: nadahal Jokovic obviously when I was a kid, Agasy Sampris

974
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: because you knew what was on the line with the

975
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: Grand Slams. You know. I guess the documentaries coming out

976
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: about Lance Armstrong, who listen, I used to wear the

977
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: yellow bracelet. I've seen enough documentaries. I mean, the way

978
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: he treated people, I think, like, you don't just go

979
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: from piece of shit to like now I'm rehabilitated. But

980
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 1: the reason he became such a big deal because everyone

981
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: knows you win the Tour de France like kind of matters.

982
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 1: Turns out he was juiced up, like he was Barry

983
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: Bonds or something. But there has to be history to

984
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: the events we're watching. They have to mean something. You

985
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: can't just start something from scratch, especially in twenty twenty

986
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: four and expect anyone to care. So why I think

987
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: the n season tournament is so stupid, like Adam And

988
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: I understand you're doing it for television purposes, and I

989
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: get it it's a business move, but you can't pretend

990
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 1: that any of us care, that any of us think

991
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: it's a big deal, because it's literally not. It will

992
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 1: never be a big deal. Maybe in one hundred years

993
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 1: when we're all dead and gone, but right now this

994
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: does not matter. We all know it. And that's the

995
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: thing with Live None of their tournaments matter at all.

996
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: They don't mean anything. And listen, some PGA Tour tournaments

997
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: don't mean anything either, but a lot of them do.

998
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: Like winning a tournament where Tiger Woods or Jack Nicholas

999
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: or whoever has won that tournament like mean something. So

1000
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it does anything. I think it actually

1001
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: helps Bryson's YouTube channel. It helps Bryson's business. It does

1002
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: not helps Live's business. I saw today Bryson said he

1003
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: told Scott Van Pelt on Sunday night when he does

1004
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: Sports Center hit, you know, I gotta do a YouTube

1005
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: video on Tuesday. I'm watching that thing's gonna get millions

1006
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: of views. I would imagine Tuesday's YouTube video, whenever he

1007
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: puts it out, will be his most viewed video to date.

1008
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: So I think it helps his brand, as it should,

1009
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: but I don't think Live does anything for it. Let's

1010
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 1: face it, whenever they merge, cancel Live and just figure

1011
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 1: out a way to play fifteen tournaments and four majors together,

1012
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: Lives irrelevant. It does not matter, and it never will.

1013
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: It has no chance to matter ever. And this is

1014
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: just a consumer And I love golf and I'm not

1015
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,320
Speaker 1: like bound to the PGA Tour. It's just more interesting.

1016
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: Why because there's history, like, ah, you won at RIF, well,

1017
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 1: so did all these guys. Got a lot of people

1018
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: replying to uh, I don't know. Some call it well,

1019
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: it's definitely the best part lay I've ever hit in

1020
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: my entire life. I had one hundred and fifty dollars

1021
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: on Bryson to win, and I also included Fleetwood and

1022
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: Hideki to top twenty one hundred and fifty dollars. Paid

1023
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand dollars, which is that's like a NA video return.

1024
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: Pretty incredible. Never probably doing that again. Not that I

1025
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: won't make bets like that again, but I you just

1026
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: that's a that's a once, that's a once every couple

1027
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: of years. I mean I bet enough that it's not

1028
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime. That felt good. Not gonna line,

1029
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: it felt pretty good. Weird thing when you gamble. A

1030
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: lot of people ask me, like, were you on the

1031
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: edge of your seat when Rory missed the putt? I

1032
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: have much more, Like one hundred and fifty dollars means

1033
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,959
Speaker 1: nothing to me. I always say this about hedging a bet.

1034
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: If you bet ten thousand dollars and you're gonna win

1035
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars, and you can hedge where you still

1036
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: make five thousand dollars, and that's a lot of money

1037
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: to you like hedge, But I never hedge on a

1038
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: big parlay, Like if you have a parlay and it's

1039
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,959
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and you're turning one hundred dollars into

1040
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars, like, let it ride. You have nothing

1041
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: to lose beside the one hundred dollars. I get a

1042
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: lot of anxiety like any gambler, when I bet four

1043
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: figures on people to win, whether it be a football game,

1044
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: like when I took the Ravens or the Niners in

1045
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, Like that was a lot of anxiety

1046
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: because if I lost those games, as I did both

1047
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: of them in a two week span, I lost ten grant.

1048
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 1: If Bryson had ended up losing in a playoff or whatever,

1049
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: it would have sucked. But I wasn't that. Like it

1050
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: was cool once I hit it and the eighteen thousand

1051
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: dollars was in my account and now it's in my

1052
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: will's Fargo account, But I didn't get the same juice

1053
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: is when I have three thousand dollars or five thousand

1054
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: dollars on a game or on a golfer, not even close.

1055
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,919
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, And don't get me wrong,

1056
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: it's very cool to win the money, but a huge

1057
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: part of like my rush from gambling is the amount

1058
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: I put down like, to me, parlays, you're just it's

1059
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: just kind of lucky. And I got lucky. Huh. I

1060
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: didn't get lucky with Bryson, really, I guess a little bit,

1061
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: but I think Bryson would have beat Rory. I got

1062
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: lucky Tommy Fleetwood, who was well out of the top

1063
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: twenty and came storming back. But I've lost a lot

1064
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: of bets and I've won some bets of betting. You know,

1065
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: usually if I'm in a bet big, I bet like

1066
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: three to five thousand dollars. I get a rush off

1067
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: that my juices get going. Unlike anything in life, make

1068
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: good money doing this podcast, money getting it doesn't do

1069
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: anything for me because like, of course I'm run a

1070
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: business here. But like when I gamble, like no different

1071
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: than I'm in the casino playing blackjack or whatever. It

1072
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: gets the blood going. It's like one of the rare

1073
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: things in my life. Competitive wise, still gets me up

1074
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: and gets me going. But that parlay, I didn't really

1075
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,479
Speaker 1: I didn't have the same feels. I was more into

1076
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: the tournament. I was honestly kind of gutted when Rory

1077
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: missed the punt because I wanted a play off. That

1078
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: being said, I'm very happy to win the eighteen thousand dollars.

1079
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Not gonna lie. Okay, last thing we've seen. The recent

1080
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: rule changes in both college and the NFL have favored

1081
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: the offensive player, and we are seeing that the NFL

1082
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: teams with offensive head coaches have been increasingly more successful. McVeigh,

1083
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: Andy Kyle, But why do you think in college defensive

1084
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: head coaches continue to dominate? Nick, Kirby and Jim. I mean,

1085
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Jim's a former quarterback, but I hear what you're saying.

1086
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 1: Then he says, Jim is a former quarterback, but he

1087
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: acts more like a defensive guy. I think I saw

1088
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 1: quote one time. Jim's the only quarterback I know that

1089
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: wishes he was a linebacker. I think because college in

1090
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: use Nick and Kirby and even Jim, who's former quarterback,

1091
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,479
Speaker 1: who thinks he's a linebacker. Recruiting and building your team

1092
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: matters so much in football. You're only gonna have access

1093
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 1: to so many sweet players. It is much more of

1094
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: my brain versus your brain. Me coaching up the guys

1095
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: on a daily basis, me getting a seventh rounder to

1096
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: become a really good starter in college. If I'm at Michigan,

1097
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: if I'm at Alabama, if I'm at Georgia, if I'm

1098
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: at LSU, if I'm at Texas, I'm not taking many

1099
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: seventh rounders. I'm not. I basically have And I remember

1100
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: when I was at Fresno State, Pat Hill, it was

1101
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: the peak of USC. He said, you know, listen, Pete's

1102
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 1: a great coach, but it's not that hard to build

1103
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: your team when you're getting if it was the equivalent

1104
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: of the NFL twenty first rounders every year in your

1105
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: recruiting class, and that's what all the big dogs are getting,

1106
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: So you're getting by far the best players. Now, where

1107
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: scheme does matter is when you're playing the other great

1108
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: teams in these playoff games like Alabama versus Michigan, right,

1109
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: or when LSU and Alabama play, or Ohio State and Michigan.

1110
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: But other than that, like how many teams during the

1111
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: season does Ohio State have to outscheme Michigan now Oregon?

1112
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Like do they really lose that much sleep playing Minnesota

1113
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: in Iowa and Rutgers? And I'm not talking shit, I'm

1114
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: just that's part of college football. We're in the NFL.

1115
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: Like the difference between playing Houston and Kansas City and

1116
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: playing the Saints. Like, if you screw up, if you

1117
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: have a bad game plan, like you will lose. You

1118
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: will lose. Sometimes the shittiest teams in the NFL have

1119
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: three wins. Well they got to beat somebody, I mean

1120
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: a lot of times, like they're beating a random playoff

1121
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: team throughout the year. That's pretty rare in college football,

1122
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 1: Like Florida State ain't losing to Boston College. You know,

1123
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: it's just probably not gonna happen. So the advantage you

1124
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: have in recruiting and as a defensive guy, think about

1125
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: the guys you listen one thing saving now Saban is

1126
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: a great scheme guy, But like, why is Alabama's roster

1127
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: been so good? He's an elite recruiter, Like he's he's

1128
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: got a lot of he's got a lot of panache

1129
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: as the you know, people would say, he's got a

1130
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: lot of Jennis a kuah, he's got a lot of

1131
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: he can turn on the charm and obviously they paid money.

1132
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart has a lot of personality. You know, Jim

1133
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: Harbaugh is a pretty cool figure to walk into your house.

1134
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: When I think about some of the great coaches in

1135
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: my life, like they kind of just had some swag

1136
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: when they went into a room. Pete Carroll in his heyday,

1137
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: Bobby Bowden back in the day, Mac Brown and his

1138
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: heyday at Texas. You know, I think Sark has some

1139
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: of that. I think there's just something to be said.

1140
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: You know, Listen, James is clearly not Their offense is abysmal,

1141
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: but he's an elite recruiter of pens eight, so you

1142
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: get the best teams. So like Penn State, their offense stinks,

1143
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: but their roster is so good that they're still going

1144
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: ten and three every year, potentially eleven and two. I

1145
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: guess if you lose Ohio State in Michigan, they beat

1146
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: everyone else. So you really just have to like be

1147
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: on your AA game coaching. Obviously, there're gonna be some

1148
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: weeks when your team just kind of mails it in,

1149
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: so you got to like make sure you win that game.

1150
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: But you kind of gotta be dialed every single week

1151
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You simply do not in college. No,

1152
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Nick Saban or Kirby is not dialed,

1153
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: but their team isn't always and they mail in some

1154
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: games and it doesn't matter. So I think the big

1155
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 1: reason is just simply recruiting. The NFL is not about recruiting.

1156
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: You only have some years. You might have three or

1157
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: four draft picks and twenty million dollars in cap space,

1158
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: So you got to figure out a way to get random.

1159
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Like why were the Rams so good last year because

1160
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: they had all these dudes in the third, fourth, fifth,

1161
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: sixth round become impact players for their team. When does

1162
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Alabama ever rely on some random recruit that never happens

1163
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,439
Speaker 1: the best of the cream of the crop. Their team

1164
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: is full of Aaron Donald's. Same with Georgia, same with

1165
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State, same with the Michigan these last couple of years.

1166
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: Now you got to recruit the right guys, but they're

1167
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 1: not messing with any scrubs. The volume
