Colleen Wolfe was there and 33 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: Dan and we all sat very very far apart, even 34 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: with masks on, even that far apart. So it was 35 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: it was very Um, it was really really we were 36 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: really careful. It was it's still though, it's still it's 37 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: still cool. It was hearing. I was not able to 38 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: make it unfortunately. Um it was tied up with with 39 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: the family. But uh yeah, West West and Keisha said 40 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: it was one of their best days they've had in 41 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: a long time and get to feel like a normal 42 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: person and talk to uh other people. It's exciting. Probably 43 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: when I was your weekend, it was good. Last week 44 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: was probably the busiest week professionally that I've had to 45 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: the NFL, and uh, that was different so the weekends 46 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: because like, honestly the start of all this, there was 47 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: no difference between the days. Everything was basically the same. 48 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: But like I hit Saturday morning and it was like, 49 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: all right, yeah, let's let's rest. And then my son 50 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: immediately kicked me in the face and so like it 51 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: was like a like welcome back to reality. But we're 52 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: not resting that much. It's like Malcolm has wet three. Yeah, 53 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: he's three, and you're in your newborn stage, is you know, 54 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: a newborn? So yeah, you're not getting that much resting me. Yeah, 55 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: but just the requirements on me, I could just I 56 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: could just be dad and so that was that was 57 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: cool to just be dad for a couple of days 58 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: and right back at it today. But not to the 59 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: same extent because last week was all right, and now 60 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: we're yeah, we're putting you to work, and I apologize 61 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: for that, but don't even have to put a shirt 62 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: on for this. Just there's like a little bit of it. 63 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: I think an emptiness inside of me, and the only 64 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: way to try to fill it is by podcasting. It's 65 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: like Mark Mark said he was tired of hearing, you know, 66 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: the sound of his own voice. On some level, it's like, Nope, 67 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: not me, gotta just keep talking out into the void. 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's do some news, Ricky. If Captain 69 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: Hook was moonlighting as a handy man, he might replace 70 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: his hook with what tool? A hammer? A penis. I 71 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: have never seen Steve Harvey stop during Fast Money, like 72 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: during the Fast Money around the fact that he was 73 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: like what did he just say? Oh so good? That 74 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: was Steve Harvey, who's the host of the Family Feud 75 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: in an NFL Stars Versus Old Stars show, And that 76 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: was Bruce Smith with one of the most memorable family 77 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: feud answers in a long time. That's that's like, as 78 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: a Family Feud host, your job is to be there 79 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: for when somebody said something very sexually suggestive and on 80 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: that like, that's the most important part of hosting that show. 81 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: And that's what Steve Harvey excels at. It is uh, 82 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: it's a classic. I mean, I can't say I watched 83 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: a ton anymore, but man I was locked in as 84 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: a as as a preteen and Michael Irvin, by the way, 85 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: the clip of him celebrating one of his answers is 86 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: also see what the question was. It was kind of 87 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: like an easy either or question. It was like name 88 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: a color on a on a checkerboard and he said 89 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: red or black, which got fifty one out of a hundred, 90 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: and he celebrated like they won a fourth super Bowl. 91 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: But I don't hate it. I love it. I love it. UM. 92 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: I wish we had, you know, such joyful news to 93 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: talk about. UM, well, I guess we do off the 94 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: top depending on how you want to look at it. 95 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: A right has been wronged and we we talked about it. 96 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: The Washington football team, UM, we anticipated they were going 97 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: to change their name. They had officially said that they 98 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: were only doing an examination into the team name. On Monday, 99 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: the team officially announced that they are changing their team name. 100 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: They mentioned the old team name seven times in the statement, UM, 101 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: which which was interesting. But it's coming. And perhaps the 102 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: only reason why they didn't announce what the new name 103 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: is gonna be is there's reportedly a trademark dispute, but 104 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: Dan Snyder, who's owned the team for twenty years and 105 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: long fought against this change. Officially is on the record 106 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: that it will be no more, and it will be 107 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: no more before the season. So they're gonna have to 108 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: figure out what happens with their uniforms and in everything 109 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: else in the next couple of weeks. Patrick, and it 110 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: was seemed like hopefully there's been some sort of plan 111 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: in the works. And it's not just how that statement 112 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: makes it sound, which is that Dan and Ron are 113 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: just kind of like on a zoom call, just talking 114 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: it out, like like you and Amica or me and 115 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: Lauren naming the kids right, like hopefully there's more than 116 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: just two people involved and hopefully, Uh, this is the 117 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: trademark issue is just you know, how squatters are You 118 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: see people do it with U R L s and 119 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: Twitter names all the time. Will they just did some 120 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: realtor apparently squatted on all these names. I think somewhat 121 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: recently he saw what was happening and he suddenly squatted 122 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: on like fifteen different names, and so that you know, 123 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: that's that's unfortunate, But at least like they didn't wait 124 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: right until they had that resolved. They let everybody know 125 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: everything in the week that we're not going to use 126 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: the name anymore. And uh and yeah, it's it's over finally, Uh, 127 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: which you move on something like it's I'm just glad, 128 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: I'm just glad. It's fine. You know. It is funny 129 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: because we're this is one where we're NFL employees and 130 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: a lot of times we get comments, especially from people overseas, Wow, 131 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: you you guys, you know you can. I'm not gonna 132 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: do a nextent, but you guys can really, you know, 133 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: they really let you take the piss out of out 134 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: of the league, even though you work for him. But 135 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: there there are some issues that you know, you always 136 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: have to be professional about it. But b was kind 137 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: of a third rail issue and this was it. This 138 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: was almost like the number one third rail issue. So 139 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: there is something to me. You mentioned, um, you know 140 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: Mike Silver call in the name racist. I looked at 141 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: you know that Judy Batiste the headline she writes for 142 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: NFL dot com today and just you know, calling an 143 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: embarrassed a long term embarrassment for the league is finally 144 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: over with. And there's almost part of me that's still like, 145 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: can she say that? But but but it's great because 146 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: she can and Um, it's the weird thing is it's 147 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: been such a long fight and we will move on 148 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: from it. But it's not like it's not like this 149 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: is a new thing in I forgot the name, but 150 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: an Indian council back in two was battling hard for this. 151 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: This is almost a fifty year old fight. There were 152 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: three thousand people Ricky at the super Bowl in the 153 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: early nineties that Washington played at protesting that super Bowl. 154 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: So that's that's thirty years ago. So it's not about like, hey, 155 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: this isn't like you know, different Native um voices have 156 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: been battling this for a long time and you know, 157 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're they're thrilled to see this. I uh, 158 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it's like a larger question in 159 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: this in this time. Um. But man, like that there's 160 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: a there's a reckoning, there's another there's more reckonings for 161 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: this country out there. And I read this novel I'm 162 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: just gonna give it a shout called there there by 163 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: Tommy Orange last year and it's a novel, but man, 164 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: it made it provided kind of like a kaleidoscope of 165 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: the current native experience in the country. That was eye opening. 166 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: To me, and and it's in a fictional way, in 167 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: in such a way that I'm almost like ashamed how 168 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: little I know I've ever thought about it. And it's 169 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: a brilliant writing too, So i'd recommend that to anyway. Yeah, 170 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: one thing that they kind of leached out to me 171 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: that through the course of the conversation, again, like as 172 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: you said, from my entire life about this this team's name, 173 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: is this idea that the only reason it matters is 174 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: because certain people are quote unquote offended and and somebody 175 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: always they say offended in such a in such a 176 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: way that it's like, oh, well they're being ninnies, right, 177 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: and that's it. But it's it's not about who is 178 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: or who isn't quote quote offended. Right. The the ideas 179 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: that we have perpetuate actual harm on people, and especially 180 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: these people who were here before any of us, Right, 181 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: And if we can't change at least even the most 182 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: minor things, that we're not gonna be able to change, uh, 183 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, the things that that still impact in today. 184 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: And a shout out to the last person to complain 185 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: about me not using the team name on Twitter who 186 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: added the network and the league account run by Bright 187 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: and anybody else in social who, I guess gets angry 188 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: tweets about me. Why did your late night anchor Patrick 189 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: Clayban on Thursday Night call Blank the football team from 190 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: Washington instead of their nickname when doing the highlights of 191 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: their preseason games preseason games? By the way, is this 192 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: an option that you've given to your talent on the network? Well, Uh, 193 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about me saying or not 194 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: saying the team name anymore. Uh. Sorry, I guess today 195 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: sucks for you. Sorry, not sorry. You do wonder. I 196 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 1: do wonder a little bit, um if the Chiefs are 197 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: next and the Chiefs are different because the chief There's 198 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: many reasons why it's different. Um, but I do think 199 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: it's it's possible, and I don't think you'll see, you know, 200 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: maybe the tomahawk chalk at uh at chief schemes in 201 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: different sporting events to um. Moving on to uh to 202 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: the issue of the day. And there's not a huge 203 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: update today in terms of where we are with the 204 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: coronavirus in California. Here just to give you know, our listeners, 205 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, a clue of kind of where we're at. 206 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: You know, cases are skyrocketing, they are now you know, 207 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: adding restrictions or re adding restrictions um to what we 208 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: can do in terms of hair salons are now closed 209 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: as of Monday once again, indoor malls, a bunch of 210 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: indoor activities essentially throughout the state. So and that that's 211 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: happening in a lot of places where um, new mask 212 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: laws are are happening, new restrictions are happening, uh in 213 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: hot spots throughout the country. So we're not in a 214 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: in a good place in the country. And that leaves 215 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: the conversations between the NFL p A and the NFL 216 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: and how to start training cap very complicated. And you know, 217 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: I could get into all the details. I just don't 218 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: think they're that interesting. But right now the two sides 219 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: are are talking on Monday about everything, how they're gonna 220 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: on ramp the season, players, safety, health, and then economics. 221 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: There's an idea to have like a stipend. If you 222 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: end up being on a team or even if you 223 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: show up to work, you get an extra two hundred 224 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars or five hundred thousand dollars this year 225 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: that's guaranteed even if the games aren't completed. That's one 226 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: idea maybe if if we if we go have to 227 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: go into the studio, we I think we should talk 228 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: about that. We should. Yeah, I don't think they're right now. 229 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: We are We're not going back into the studio as 230 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: NFL media employees. But I think the biggest takeaway is 231 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: just we're two weeks away supposedly from when all the 232 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: teams are supposed to show up, and I think it's 233 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: fair to say there is increasing um concerned that they're 234 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: not going to be starting on that day. That that 235 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: is that is up in the air, and I think 236 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaportin and some of the players have have talked 237 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: about that. I think my hope is if they don't 238 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: start right, if if we're looking at this at it 239 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: won't happen. I hope it's for safety reasons. I hope 240 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: it's not over a contract dispute or just the dispute 241 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: over the money, because I think we've seen, at least 242 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: in Tom's reporting since Friday, some pretty reasonable um proposals 243 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: from the p A side, right, and you could you 244 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: could negotiate on that in terms of, you know, the 245 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: stipend or how much money is going to players who 246 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: have guaranteed salaries, uh, in the event of a loss. 247 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: But I just I hope the decisions are being made 248 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: with regards to safety first and then everything else can 249 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: can kind of follow after that. But I mean, if 250 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: there's a if there's a good faith effort on both 251 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: sides to be as safe as possible to start, then 252 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: then that's the starting point. But it's uh, it's unfortunate 253 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 1: that players who and this is just in general how 254 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: it is always with with like c bas and contracts, like. 255 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: Players have a very limited window to make money and 256 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: the owners have a significantly larger window. And so when 257 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: you're asking players to split losses, right, if there's up 258 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: to four billion dollars in losses, if you want them 259 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: to split it fifty over the course of one year, 260 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody could really look at that and 261 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: say that's that's fair. Right for these players, in particular 262 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: to the shoulder that loss, it's it's complicated, which was 263 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: why I'm not going to be you know, lightened, you know, 264 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: torches or take the pitchforks out at this point. It 265 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: is complicated, and I if on both sides, and the 266 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: revenue sharing aspect to the league adds another layer of complication. 267 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: But nothing's more complicated than the health stuff, and nothing's 268 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: more out of the league's control than the health stuff 269 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: in California and Texas in Florida which is having record cases. 270 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, I keep going back to that same point. 271 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: The league's not the league and the players aren't gonna 272 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: have any ability to help control that, and that that's 273 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: where it's gonna be really complicated. And and I did. 274 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: I I reached out to Ian see if he had 275 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: anything extra where he's just kind of feeling things, and 276 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: he he just said he nobody knows anything. Nobody knows anything. 277 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: So if you have this idea of like there's a 278 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: certain group of people that knows what's gonna happen, I 279 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: don't think. So. Maybe it's at the very inside of 280 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: the league office where Roger Goodell works, um has like 281 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: a hope of how things are gonna go. But I 282 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: don't think anyone in terms of teams, coaches, or even 283 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: the highest place media people really have have any clue 284 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: how this is gonna go times and and extrapolate that 285 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: not just out through the NFL, but through all of society. 286 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: UM in the United States of America, where where nobody 287 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: really knows. Are we bumming? Are we bumming people? Are 288 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: we bumming you out Erica? That's what I worry about. 289 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: I mean, no, it's it's this is our current, it's 290 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: our present. I think it'll be interesting to see what 291 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: happens with the bubble with the NBA. And I think 292 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: that everything that's happening right now in other sports is 293 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: going to directly translate to to this league. And even 294 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook today is positive for coronavirus, so it's happening 295 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: at an alarming rate. Still, right, a lot of players 296 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: in your right. I I totally agree that some of 297 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: the trial and error that the MLB and NF NBA 298 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: are going through in terms of their testing time and 299 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: how that gets complicated, um, that the NFL be watching 300 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: that closely. But the NFL also has uh has way 301 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: more people. By the way. I saw Russell Westbrook at 302 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: our local kids park last summer um last summer, and 303 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: I mean not surprising that he's, you know, a striking 304 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: individual in person, but he could do like he could 305 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: lift his daughter up to like the high part of 306 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: the playground in which I could There's no way that 307 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: I could, like he could just pick her up and 308 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: take her down, but it was like seven ft in 309 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: the air. And that's the sort of level of parenting 310 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: that he can provide like that. I just can't. I 311 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: just can't. What do you have to climb up? And 312 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: she's got a climb up and down, which is fine, 313 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: that's the whole idea, but you know if she I 314 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: think in this case, his his kid was upset and 315 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: he could just like reach up and grab her and 316 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: that wasn't gonna happen for me. He's a tall you know, 317 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: he's a guard, so you don't think of it, but 318 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: he is a tall, tall man. Yeah. It's the scale 319 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: of NBA players kind of throws everything off, like especially 320 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: when you think, like like Dwayne Wade and Julio Jones 321 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: are the same size, but like us they Westbrook is 322 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: what six six or seven or something, So I don't know, 323 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: you don't think of it, but yeah, he looked like 324 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Apparently they play at the church. Him and 325 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: some players played Gonza. Gonza are our friend Colleen's husband 326 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: John Gonzalez. Drop. Do you have that drop in a studio? 327 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: You think I can just pull it out of the note? 328 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: Maybe you could, like later, you could just throw it 329 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: in there. He somehows he somehow knew he's in the 330 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: neighborhood that the NBA players get down at that that church, 331 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: Jim right near us. Moving on, all right, let's talk 332 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: franchise tag. I know, Um, I know, the training camp 333 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: may or may not start on time, but the rest 334 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: of the NFL little dates in terms of transactions have 335 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: gone off as planned all off season, and that includes 336 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: almost the last one, which is the day that franchise 337 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: tag players have to sign a long term deal by 338 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: or they only have the option to play under that tag. 339 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: This year, that day is July fifteen. That day is Friday, 340 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: I mean Wednesday rather and uh, it does not appear 341 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott is going to sign a new contract. 342 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: They're very far apart um. And to expand it even further, 343 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like any one of the players that 344 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: was a franchise tag and there was fourteen of them 345 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: this year, which is a huge number. I think it's 346 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: the second most ever. Um got the franchise tag this year. 347 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: Justin Simmons, the safety of the Broncos. They're apparently talking 348 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: Leonard Williams. He's not getting it. Matthew Jude on is 349 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: fighting to be counted as a linebacker instead of I 350 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: mean a defensive end instead of a linebacker. Shack Barrett's 351 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: doing that. But my takeaway two days away from this 352 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: deadline is that it looks like none of these guys 353 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: are getting long term contract. That includes Chris Jones as 354 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: well Patrick. And a part of that is just the 355 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: general direction that the franchise tag is taken over the 356 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: last few years and and then like not to like 357 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: bring it back down, but it's just just the uncertainty 358 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: that's associated with this virul right um. And so there's 359 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: been and you see, like like Ian said today that 360 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: you know, there's still two days for dec right, but 361 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: what's what's the incentive, right um, especially if you're considering 362 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: that there's a possibility that this season might be shortened. Um, 363 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, if he's if he's on the tag like 364 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: he he could stand up lose a lot of money 365 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: on what's the incentive from the team You're saying, because 366 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: they're still they're still incentive from the player's perspective to 367 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: get that guaranteed money sooner than later. Yeah, I get 368 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: some get some guaranteed money at the signing, But what's 369 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: as far as your there, it's just it's just not there, 370 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: and so that's working out in their favor. And a 371 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: lot of these other guys it's just like, well we'll 372 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,959 Speaker 1: tag him. Um you know that they were interested in 373 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: having them long term anyway, most of them, I would agree. 374 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: I don't think Matthew Judon was ever are getting a 375 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: long term deal. I don't think Shack Barrett was ever 376 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: getting a long term deal. The truth maybe Leonard Williams 377 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: or Debt was definitely not getting a long term deal. 378 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: Joe Tuney with the Patriots, Um, I don't think it 379 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: was ever getting a long term deal. But guys like 380 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: Chris Jones, who have made some noise about letting this 381 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: hold out go a little further, it does appear like 382 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs are trying to make some sort of good faith effort. Um, 383 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: it would be complicated, but I just I just don't 384 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen. And the Cowboys, especially um Many, 385 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: they've got a good deal of just having him on 386 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: a one year contract. But it's dangerous. I mean, I 387 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: think the you know, it really is dangerous because I think, 388 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: you know, that's only gonna be worth more and more 389 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: as this. You know, if he plays well this year, 390 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: and I think he will, I just I don't understand 391 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: how we're still doing this thing that Matthew Judean and 392 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: Shack Barrett are having to deal with, Like if you 393 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: if you're rushing the pastor a certain number of times, 394 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: like yeah, like just just stop trying to play call 395 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: these dudes linebackers like order we do. He led the 396 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: NFL and SAX, So you're gonna like this is yeah, 397 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: for this is getting in the weeds. But this is 398 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: a battle that's been going on I think for like 399 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: fifteen years at different positions. There was outside linebacker and 400 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: inside linebacker. Teams used to battle over and they just 401 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: made it total linebacker. You're right, they need to make 402 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: edge a position. That's what we've done at the Projected 403 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: Starter series. You know, that's what they've done at Rhoda World. 404 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: They don't even mess with the they just go edge 405 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: follow us. We just say edge for the NFL Draft. 406 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's not like you know, these Mario Williams, 407 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: Julius Peppers guys are coming in a whole lot like 408 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: where it's just like, oh, yeah, this is this is 409 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: the guy, Like you line up for us the quarterback. 410 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: Then you're an edge. That's all right. We don't have 411 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: like a ton of like high super crazy level news, 412 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: but we are going to run through a few more 413 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: stories quickly, one of them including the Patriots that I 414 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: don't think it's just me being a Patriots fan that 415 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: finds us interesting. They opened up seven point seven four 416 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: million dollars in space over the weekend when the NFL 417 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: ruled in their favor on a pair of grievances involving 418 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and wait for it, Aaron Hernandez. They are 419 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: getting salary cap space back um from the Aaron Hernandez 420 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: saga in the year Erica, I know you're a salary 421 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: cap expert. I also know you're an Aeron Hernandez expert 422 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: after watching them the documentary, I think he listened to 423 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: the podcast. You are a Patriots fan. Your thoughts, I mean, yeah, 424 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: when it comes when it comes to cap stuff like 425 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: I'm your girl, and this is this is huge news. 426 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: This is the best news of uh No, I have 427 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: no idea. I think I mean it's it's it's kind 428 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: of good. That feels like that sort of closing the 429 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: door on the I mean, you don't want to turn 430 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: your turn a blind eye to the Patriots history, but 431 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 1: it is sort of nice to kind of put that 432 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: behind us going forward. It's also nice to get an 433 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: m v P quarterback and be like, oh man, we 434 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: all look, man, we only got so much money. You 435 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If you want to play football, 436 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: that's good. This is all we got. You know, this 437 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: is this is this is right. And then the next 438 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: week it's like, oh, hey, look, Reassby, well you already signed. Okay, 439 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: well yeah some else. Oh I didn't even think about that. 440 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: That's um, maybe maybe that plays into a future signing. 441 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's like a come and make sure 442 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: you're healthy and show I mean, I know that's like 443 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: the stupidest argument. I mean, they would love I would 444 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: They would love Cam to ball out and to sign 445 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: him to a big term contract. They can use the 446 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 1: franchise tag. I'm Cam, and he does have a lot 447 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: of incentives in his contract, but not that many. I mean, 448 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: not enough where if he plays well as a starter, 449 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: that he's got to be the best bargain in the 450 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: entire league. And you know, you know who believes me? 451 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: Who agrees Cameron Newton let's let's listen to Cam Newton. 452 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: I know you haven't heard this, Patrick, but I don't know. 453 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: There's something about me. I've always been a Cam fan. 454 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm obviously Patriots fan. There's something about this entire experience that, 455 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 1: as we're getting closer to it, is fascinating to me. 456 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: And I just want to listen to a video that 457 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: Cam released after a workout. If you can find it, 458 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: it's where it's cinematic. I mean, well, I mean we're 459 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: listening to. We're gonna listen to the whole thing, So Patrick, 460 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: feel free. We can talk a little over it because otherwise, 461 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: like it's a minute and a half long, let's hit it, Ricky. 462 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: You know what makes it different is he's actually Camp.

But there's a lot of 467 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: in those you know what I'm saying, it's just just 468 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: just sober with for him.

That's not 496 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: that's not cam is I want. I want this cam. 497 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: I love that he's he's calling himself the uh. We 498 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: have to beat out some words there, but they did 499 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: it on cam and I don't know. I it's just 500 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: gonna be It's gonna be fascinating. I don't know. It 501 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: makes me so much more excited if there is football 502 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: this season. I just don't want him to be bad, 503 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: you know. I don't want to imagine what Boston is 504 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: like if he doesn't play well. Um, but man, he's 505 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: gonna make it. He makes it. He makes it fun. Please. 506 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: People talk about Jared's did I'm competing with him and 507 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't even like cut off. He is like we're 508 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: going north and then he like looks off into the 509 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: distance and then walks into the darkness like someone falling. 510 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: And I was just like, well, let's go. Yeah, you're 511 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: right that this is NFL fanom in a nutell because 512 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: I never watched any of these player type videos, hype 513 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: type of I've never watched the camp video like this before. 514 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: But now that now that it's the Patriots and in 515 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: this quiet time, I'm like watching this and thinking, oh yeah, 516 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: watch out right, I think we're gonna we're gonna know 517 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: pretty early, right, Um. I think so, somebody's gonna run 518 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: a deep out and if Cam's fastball is back, well, 519 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: then you guys are gonna win the super Bowl. I mean, 520 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: that's the only that that's the only difference, like if Cam, 521 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: if Cam's arm is back, then then that's it the page, 522 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: you think. So, I think you're gonna know by mid 523 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: August if if they're actually practicing at full speed, and 524 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: that's gonna take weeks I think to really find out 525 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: about but maybe it's late August. Basically, if he's just 526 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: out there and he's healthy, then then we know. Then 527 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: they have Cam for as long as as it's gonna last. 528 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: And maybe that's six games, maybe that's six years. It's 529 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: it's really tough to tell, but it is. It is 530 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: one of the delightful subplots of this season that that 531 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: makes me hope that we do have it um after 532 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: this season, though we already know a little bit about 533 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: the broadcasting teams. For one, Greg Olsen has officially signed 534 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: to Fox Sports. We've been tracking this story and I 535 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: just figured let's throw it in there. He is signing 536 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: one to Fox Sports. He's going to be their number 537 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: two analysts along with Kevin Burkhard. That was the old 538 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: Charles Davis roll. Charles Davis is going to CBS. Moose 539 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: Johnston is gonna fill it this year, but just for 540 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: one year. And Greg Olsen is getting a nice post 541 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: um career gig. And I'm all about it because I 542 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: think he's done a great job when he's who's done 543 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: some games. I can't wait to see what the third 544 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: leg of Gregg's career is gonna look like. I mean, 545 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: he is just, uh, he's taken over. He's been in 546 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: at Miami, UM flourished in Charlotte. You know, they had 547 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: an opportunity to win a Super Bowl, and I think 548 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: it's good. Like there's there was this era right of 549 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: color guys UM that didn't really it seemed like it 550 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: was forced almost and kind of Romo has opened up 551 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: this idea of just kind of get up there and 552 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: be you don't necessarily try to fit into this this 553 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: broadcaster mold that we've all been up there and if 554 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: you if you want to have if you want to 555 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: have fun, if you want to be excited, if you 556 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: want to riff on the guy that's calling the game, like, 557 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: go up there and do it. I'm I'm sorry to 558 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: see Greg do it. I'm excited to see you know, 559 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: the next wave. Not to not to push anybody out, 560 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: but you know, just let's let's just watch the game 561 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: and have some fun and uh not be all kaji 562 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: mm hmm. Give Nate Burlison and that uh NFL network 563 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: team and mid a little extra work too. I think 564 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: they were fun out in the UK last year. A 565 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: couple smaller items. Again, we're gonna close up with here 566 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: and and say goodbye, and we will be doing one 567 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: other show this week. Unless you just come at me 568 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: and say, uh no, no, She's just like that wasn't 569 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: good enough. Sorry, Greg um raheem most had a trade 570 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: with quest. This happened after we taped their last podcast 571 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Since then the agents walked it back some 572 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: somewhat or totally that he realizes it was a bad idea, 573 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: but he does want to raise Raheem most Or a 574 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: super Bowl and playoff hero. I mean could have been, 575 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, one of the most valuable for there was Erica, 576 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: but they just don't want to pay him because he's 577 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: a running back and they find running backs and trees 578 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. I do think it's a little it's 579 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: funny that he's like, actually, you know, I don't want 580 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: to trade anymore, which is like the ultimate leverage. It's 581 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: like if I go to my boss and I'm like, hey, 582 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: someone's really recruiting me and like they're gonna pay me whatever. 583 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: Then they're like, okay, go and it's like, oh wait now, 584 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: Like I'm good here, but can we like work something out. 585 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you've tried that move I have. Yeah, I'm 586 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: still trying. I try it. You know, you've tried, like 587 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: they be getting steps of that of that move. I 588 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: think it could be successful. I think at this point, 589 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: your leverage is greater than it's ever been. Yeah, I agree. 590 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: But for for he most Er I think they kind 591 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: of like I would. I would think that Shanahan would 592 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: want to keep that team as close together as possible 593 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: for right now because they're in that window still and 594 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: especially with the season that they had, they're in a 595 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: good place. But that stage stage stage is making a 596 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: guest your parents. Uh, do you wanna do you? Do 597 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: you need to do? You need to go? Do you 598 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: want to bring stage on the show. It's up to you. 599 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean she is on the show. I love having her. 600 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: We can yeah, we can see her here in the 601 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: second Lauren is manipulating a a extrement receptacle device and uh, 602 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: you see this is what Um, I'm sure it's a 603 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: great audio. No, I think it's great. It's a slice 604 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: of life. Um. But honestly, like I understand where raheem 605 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: most it is coming from. You're just pivoting right off 606 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: of sage. I thought you were given to give some 607 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: fatherly like, Okay, this is what life is like, is it? 608 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: Don't really have any like things to present, Like Lauren's 609 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: has just been carrying us this this a couple of weeks. 610 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: And so like my fatherly advice would be to uh 611 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: to find a spouse about Mary Lauren.

Man, Like, we don't know how long this 627 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: game is gonna exist. We don't know how long players 628 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: careers are gonna So I'm never gonna like dump on 629 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: a guy for trying to put himself in position to 630 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: to make some more money. Well, here's the thing. He 631 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: he was the best one last They were they were 632 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: at their best last year, and he was the best 633 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: one last year, especially when it mattered. They've had a 634 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: lot of different people in there, and this is kind 635 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: of a something people don't consider when you bring free 636 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: agents into your um organization that the other people at 637 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: that position see what they make and if they end 638 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: up outperforming them, then that becomes a problem, or if 639 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: they already were in this case, moster you know, was 640 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: paid at a normal rate. But now he sees Tevin 641 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: Coleman and he saw what Jerrick McKinnon was making. UM, 642 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,439 Speaker 1: and he's making a lot less than them, and he 643 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: was a lot more valuable than Tevin Coleman was even 644 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: when Coleman was on the field. And so uh and 645 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: so you get upset, and uh, maybe they'll give him 646 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: a little pop. Maybe I wouldn't be surprised if they 647 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: put some incentives or throwing throwing something into his country, 648 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: give him a throw him a bone at least. Um. 649 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: We are gonna wrap up with some more running back news, 650 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: which is that DeVonta Freeman Um, who is not in 651 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: the right now, reportedly did have interest UM from a 652 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: variety of teams but couldn't settle on on the right number. 653 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: Um has had his relationship with his agent terminated. That 654 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 1: his agent sort of fired him, I guess basically because 655 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: he wouldn't take the contract that she uh was hoping 656 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 1: that he took, which is you don't see that too often. Yeah, 657 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: I would. I'd like to hear from DeVonta Freeman, right, 658 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: because um, the agent out in front right has has something, 659 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: has some has a lot of skin in the game. Uh, 660 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: maybe not as much as as DeVonta Freeman. And I'm 661 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: not I'm definitely not doubting anybody's reporting, but um, you know, 662 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: it's kind of like when a marriage doesn't work and 663 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, sources say that he was a jerk, 664 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, well, let's let's uh, let's get 665 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: another point of view here, because maybe maybe there's some 666 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: blame to be cast on both sides. Are you are 667 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: you you know, referring to the did J Cutler divorce 668 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: or any okay, perhaps any any relationship involving more than 669 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: one person, right, Because there were some stories, there were 670 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: some stories that came out immediately that didn't paint day 671 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: in the in the in the in the brightest light, 672 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,959 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and pressed and it felt like, Okay, 673 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: this is probably not coming from Jay's camp. Yeah, does J? 674 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: Does J Cutler paint himself in the brightest light? Like 675 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: it's like, who can you blame here? Really? I mean, 676 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: but honestly, I mean when you get involved with with 677 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: a J. Cutler, one would think that you would be 678 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: aware of the circumstances that would follow um. But you know, 679 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: all the best to Jay and Kristin and Davante and 680 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: his agent as well. His agent his name Kristen, Kristen Campbell. Yeah. 681 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't like it when the agents putting it out 682 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: there like that. There quick clearly trying to say like, 683 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: hey guys, it wasn't my fault that he didn't get 684 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: a contract this offseason, so it's playing the game. I 685 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: don't love that. In one on the topic of agents, 686 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: one thing that that I thought about, Charlie castlely kind 687 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: of slightly went in on Patrick Mahomes agent uh last 688 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: week and it was like the first time that I 689 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: remember any concrete criticism of a player's agent, uh. And 690 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: so that was cool too. Do you like that? You 691 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: like to see that? Yeah, because when the when the 692 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: when the players signed their own contracts, right, it's like, oh, 693 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: they could have got this, that and the other. But 694 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: if it's if it's an agent done deal, generally the 695 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: idea is like, oh, well, this is the best that 696 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: they could have done. You know this they were working 697 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 1: with certain circumstances, because agents really dictate the course of 698 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: our conversations about a lot of things. And uh, I'm 699 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: glad I've got a better one. Now that it ended good, 700 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: I want to I want to hear more about that later. 701 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, Erica, hopefully you find the agent 702 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: of your dreams.
