00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: get into what we do best, the NFL coaches on

35
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: the hot seat, which coaches up and coming coaches deserve

36
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity to finally get that head coaching um job,

37
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: and which coaches are on the hot seat that we

38
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: know you're probably gonna lose your job, which is unfortunate

39
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: because it affects not just the head coach but a

40
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: lot of assistant coaches and which coaches and or teams

41
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: that nobody is talking about might end up firing and

42
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: getting rid of their coach and be looking and searching

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: for a new head coach. I'm gonna jump right in

44
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: on that because I think that there's been a lot

45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: of failures that have taken place this year. I'll start

46
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: with guys that have already lost their jobs with Dan Quinn,

47
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, and Matt Patricia uh And I'll just I'll

48
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: just say this, those seats were hot coming into the season,

49
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: and those seats got way too hot to stay on

50
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: them as the season continued. So when you look at

51
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: what Bill o'brown, I'll start with Bill O'Brien because everybody

52
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: knows I have a chronicled history ever since he went

53
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: to Penn State of having interesting perspectives and about that.

54
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: You know, I heard that he was the type of

55
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: guy that you just don't you don't buy into, you

56
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: don't believe in, you don't trust from the people that

57
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: were close to it. That and I knew a whole

58
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: lot of kids that went there because well, quite frankly,

59
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: you are I know them very well. We'll put it

60
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: to you like that, and and so when I heard

61
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: how the people were treated that were in the office.

62
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: And now granted there were a lot of heavy things

63
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: going on at the time when O'Brien came in, but

64
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: the way I heard he handled people and the way

65
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: he spoke to people was less than flatter. Now you

66
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: fast forward to where we are now, the handling of

67
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: DeAndre uh DeAndre Hopkins and and the handling of of

68
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: just the GM duties as the coach of of the Texans.

69
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: I just felt as though, if you're not gonna be

70
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: a person to other people, and you're gonna be this

71
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: something else, then you had better get the results. It's

72
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: almost like everybody who comes from the Billow Bill Belichick

73
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: coaching tree tries to come with this this kind of mentality. Right,

74
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: you can just be like as void of emotion and

75
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: void of being able to connect with people on a

76
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: personal level just because of what I don't know what

77
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: that what is, but it ultimately led to his demise.

78
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn a different story in the sense that I

79
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: felt as though he was a player's coach. I was

80
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: really really uh interested as to why the train went

81
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: so far off of the rails. For the alattin Land

82
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: to Falcons and how that led to his demise. But

83
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: those were my two that I looked at. And obviously

84
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia being the same as Bill O'Brien, what say

85
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: you guys, Well, for me, I'll go the Bill O'Brien

86
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: thing was, it was just odd. You give up multiple

87
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: draft picks for Larmie Tonzo and you don't negotiate an

88
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: extension prior to that. That's just not smart. The player

89
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: has all the leverage, in which in the NFL we

90
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: never have that, and then you trade at worst the

91
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: second best receiver in the league for David Johnson and

92
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: a second round pick. And then you see a guy

93
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: like Stefon Diggs who is a really, really, really good receiver,

94
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: but people do not put him in the same category

95
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: as DeAndre Hopkins, and they get first round picks for that.

96
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Talking to Buffalo Bills when they got him from Minnesota,

97
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: the team and he's completely changed their team because you

98
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: can't cover them one on one. And so you look

99
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: at that and say, oh, that's just at dan Quinn.

100
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: To me, dan quinns a defensive guy. You cannot give

101
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: up leads that the Atlanta Falcons have continued to have

102
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: and you're a defensive coach, you just and then that

103
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: he's gone, they're playing better on defense. So now it

104
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: really looks like you were the problem because now that

105
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: you're calling, they're playing better on defense without you, and

106
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: you're a defensive guy. And it's just what you said,

107
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: May Patricia your trade. You get rid of Darius Slay,

108
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: you get rid of uh you're saying queenn Um Seattle.

109
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: God when he's fired, people normally speak off the record.

110
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: You got guys that are playing right now. Marvin Jones

111
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: is like, man, we can be ourselves a different teams.

112
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: So it's warranted. Andrew and Peterson back to having fun again,

113
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: back to having fun again. And so it was more

114
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: of a dictatorship and you couldn't be yourself and have

115
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: fun and you can't. You can't do that with grown

116
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: men unless you're winning or you have the cachet that

117
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has, and they haven't developed and earned that yet.

118
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: You know what I'm You know, I played for a

119
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: great coach and he used to always say this, which

120
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: one could player or Coughlin and Mike Tomlin didn't play

121
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: for three good ones and Mike Tomlin used to always say,

122
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: he's a gentleman. We are in a performance driven business.

123
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: We are in a performance driven business. And I'm not

124
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: really fond of Bill O'Brien and Dan Quinn and Matt Patricia.

125
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know them, but in the football world it's

126
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: a small fraternity, and when players talk, it's usually the

127
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: truth hundred percent of the time about their coaches, the organization,

128
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: and who they're playing for. You think about Bill O'Brien,

129
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 1: general manager, listen to this, DeAndre Hopkins, Laron B. Tuncil

130
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: and Jr. Dave and Clowney. Those are three cornerstones of

131
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: your organization right there, and arguably the best at that

132
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: position in the whole entire league. And as far as

133
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: dan Quinn is concerned, the Super Bowl that happened years

134
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: ago here would never get They're still in recovery mode

135
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: from that alone. So as far as this Land is concerned,

136
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: they are not winning enough football games two basically recover

137
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: from the Super Bowl giving up what twenty eight points

138
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: in the second half by itself. So and and Mat

139
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: and Matt Patricia, we all know the truth. I mean,

140
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: let's just come on and be honest. I mean, he's

141
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: he was a product of basically they all were Tom Brady.

142
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: You know what, if you give us seventeen points, the

143
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: Patriots will in ten out of ten times because you

144
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: know why, because you had the greatest quarterback NFL history.

145
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: So it's easy to coach the defense when you know that.

146
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, you can give up ten, fifteen, seventeen points

147
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday and still win football games product of the environment.

148
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, all right, So let's transition

149
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: over to lead candidates. Obviously, Rob rob Sala, Uh, you

150
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: know has done well as a defensive coordinator in in

151
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco for for the forty Niners. Uh. One of

152
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: the facial figures of that that Super Bowl run team

153
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: became a household name. Everybody has been in constant debate

154
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: about Eric b Enemy and how long that that charade

155
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: will last in terms of him not getting getting that

156
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: that not to take over someone's team. Uh. A few

157
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: of you interesting names, and I mean Byron Leftwich in

158
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. Uh, what's what's his situation? Uh? Brian

159
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: the Ball, the the you know, and and Buffalo. There's

160
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: some really there's some really talented coaches out there right

161
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: now that should be in position to take over these jobs.

162
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: But how do you guys see it? Like? Where where

163
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: would the best fit be? Because there are some teams

164
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: that are going to fire coaches. I wonder if the

165
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: Jets are going to fire Gates? What wonder is gone?

166
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm up being a New Jersey area. I get this

167
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: every single day because he's gone. It's New York. There

168
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: is no more seat. It's burnt up. He's sitting on

169
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: the curb and his legs ain't even hitting the car short,

170
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no more hot seat. What are you

171
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: talking about? Listen, NFL the New York Jets. Um, I

172
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: don't have any coaching experience, but I can coach. I mean,

173
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna garden. You're gonna garner respect, that's for sure.

174
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: But I know what I know one thing. I know

175
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: some players that I've played with who are very intelligent,

176
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: and I can put together a roster coaches, and I

177
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: can go out and win a ball game. I bet

178
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: you that I've never had any NFL coaching experience, but

179
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: I think twelve years of playing the game and understanding

180
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: it and being taught how to play the game, not coach.

181
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: And that's where the NBA is still ahead of the NFL.

182
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: We just talked thing last last hour. They they do

183
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: you think that is they gave all these players like

184
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: Steve Nash no coaching experience, gets the job. Why do

185
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: we think that is that guys in the NBA get

186
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: treated much differently like they're on the go ahead. I

187
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: won't just say, um, I won't just say NBA because

188
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: I watched John Lynch go for the booth to being

189
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: a general manager, Mike may I. I mean think about that.

190
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: Think about that he was you know, he was an analyst,

191
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: did drafts, did drafts, and it became a general age,

192
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: no front no front office experience. So it just doesn't

193
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: happen in the NBA. It's happening all this around us.

194
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: But you know, we have to be real about it

195
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: and address the situation as it is. Well, what is it?

196
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: Cronial cronyism? Huh? Is it? It's definitely nepotism and cronyism involved.

197
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: But I mean, so what, Like, I know a lot

198
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: of people have an issue with croniism. I'll say this,

199
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: if if I build a coaching tree, or if I

200
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: build a lane, going with friends, I'm going with the

201
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: people I trust. The most like, I don't. You can.

202
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: You can be mad at me all you want. I

203
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: could here less. I'm going with the because you know what,

204
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: when you're getting them trenches and you will getting them trenches.

205
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Like think some of these coaches we name it people

206
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: you trust. You gotta have people you trust, because if

207
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: there ain't people you trust, there's gonna be a knife

208
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: hit in that ground. It's gonna have blood on it.

209
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna look at and it's gonna be your DNA

210
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: on there. So I don't I don't subscribe to it anyway.

211
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: But is that is that the issue that the crony

212
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: ism is with the coaches or is it with with

213
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: the organizations? Like where where do we go with that?

214
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that it's a it's a little

215
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: bit of buffing. And to get back to what you

216
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: were asking there, you look at Adam Gates, He's gone,

217
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with Anthony He? He will be? What's

218
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna happen with Anthony Lynn and the l A charges will?

219
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: Will he be brought back next year? You don't know

220
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with Zach Taylor and Cincinnati. But the

221
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: Bengals have shown they don't like the fire coach that

222
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: has years left um on his contract. There's just so

223
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: many and you never know. There just might be a

224
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: team that is just fed up with what has transpired

225
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: this year, they get rid of their coach and you say,

226
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: who are these up and coming coordinators? To me, at

227
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: the front of the line should be Eric B. Enemy

228
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: after Eric B. Enemy should be Salat in San Francisco.

229
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: And what what intrigues me about him is very rarely

230
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: do you hear your players come out and campaign for

231
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: an assistant coach to be given an opportunity. And when

232
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman came out and said he can lead man,

233
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing. Um, I belief he deserves that.

234
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: That resonates with me because you don't see that where

235
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: players really come out and campaign for their defensive coordinator

236
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: and or assistant coach to be given a head coaching job.

237
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: But I'm sure Byron left, which I think that might

238
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: be a little too premature, um, But maybe he will

239
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: get an opportunity, and there'll be some guys that come

240
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, like Mike Tomlin when they hired him

241
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, kind of came out of nowhere, and so

242
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. But Marcella's will kind to give

243
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: us his viewpoint on Annie's coming on here shortly. Um Plax,

244
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: what you think, man Byron left Witch you said maybe

245
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: a little bit premature, maybe, but I think he's very

246
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: deserving at the top of the list, Eric Bingemy, no

247
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: doubt about it. He definitely deserves. He definitely deserves his

248
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: chance to go out and you know, be a head

249
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: coach and in this National Football League, and not just

250
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, coaches that will become first time head coaches.

251
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: There are other coaches that deserve another opportunity. Guys like

252
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier, you know wh who everybody has a ton

253
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: of respect for. Guys like Leslie Fraser deserve another chance,

254
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: not just you know, first time head coaches filling those seats.

255
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: So you gotta give some head coaches another opportunity. So

Speaker 1: will be coming back. We'll be taking a break, but

Speaker 1: waiting for the and there they go, almost on time.

309
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: This morning. Mom is coming out the front door strong

310
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: with a double arm kid carry. Looks like Dad has

311
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: the bags to her. He's bringing up the rear. Oh,

312
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: but the diaper bad wasn't closed. Diapers and toys are everywhere.

313
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: But Mom has just nailed the perfect car seat buckle

314
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: for the toddler. And now the eldest daughter, who looks

315
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: to be about nine or ten, has secured herself in

316
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: the booster seat. Tad zips the bad clothes and they're off.

317
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: But looks like Mom doesn't realize her coffee cup is

318
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: still on the roof of the car and there it goes. Oh,

319
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: that's a shame that mug was a fan favorite. Don't

320
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: sweat the small stuff. Just nailed the big stuff, like

321
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: making sure your kids are buckled correctly in the right

322
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,520

Speaker 1: him on. But let's go back. Let's go back to

334
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: just talking about how difficult because you made an interesting

335
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: point plex about I don't have coaching experience, but darn

336
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: short could come in with my experience as a player

337
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: and what I've learned as a player from the coaches

338
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: that I've coached under. And you know what we're gonna ask.

339
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna pose this question to our next guest. He's

340
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: on our hot line. Speak for yourselves, super mega. What

341
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: should I say? Host or co host? He's the host.

342
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: He's got to be the host because he's the co

343
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: host Killer. It is the co host Killer. You can

344
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: find him at Marcelli is Wiley. Some of us know

345
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: him affectionately as that dude. What's up something ourselves? How

346
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: you doing coming? Welcome into the show, man, Appreciate you

347

Speaker 1: coming in. Oh man, it's nothing the love right here

348
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: over here. Appreciate, appreciate. So so let's jump right into

349
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: this because you have a lot of of great insight

350
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: and you know, uh Accho always accuses you of cooking

351
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: up the books, but we're gonna let you cook as

352
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: much as you want to cook on this on this show,

353
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: talk to us about we're talking about coaches, hot seats,

354
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: and league candidates coming into this season. I was just

355
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: about the asplexico from his perspective, he said, basically, look,

356
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: I played for twelve years. Some of these hires and

357
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: some of these guys that are failing on repeated situations,

358
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: how should we be viewing hiring of coaches. We may

359
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: mention of the fact NBA UH players are showing the

360
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: type of love where they're able to come in on

361
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: fellowships and end up being on the sideline, end up

362
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: being head coaches. I think of Tyron lou you know,

363
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: you think of Doc Rivers. Most of these coaches are

364
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: former players that have played. What's what's your take on that?

365
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: And is that something that is possibly something that could

366
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: take place in the National Football League? Yeah? You know,

367
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: it's interesting, man, when we talk about hires, we all

368
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: know about the good old boy club and how that networking,

369
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: whether it's through nepotism or cronyism, how those relationships just

370
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: always manifest into opportunities. And sometimes we draw those opportunities

371
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: by racial lines. Sometimes we look at them by status

372
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: in terms of former player or the relationships they had

373
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: with other coaches. It's it's really a mixed bag of

374
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: nuts when you talk about how do you climb to

375
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: the top and get an opportunity like that. But the

376
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: craziest thing is, I think you have to learn as

377
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: a former player and talking to anybody who wants to

378
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: be a coach, that you got to play the game

379
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: within the game, and you gotta play it properly. A

380
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: lot of times we get caught up in just putting

381
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: up our numbers, putting up our stats, getting our checks,

382
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: getting our accolades, and we're gone. But there are a

383
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: lot of people out there plotting and manipulating and trying

384
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: to strategize to get to those same opportunities. So if

385
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: you just show up thinking that I could put your

386
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: jersey out there, put your name out there, and that's

387
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: good enough. Uh, there's more to the game than that.

388
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: And I think some coaches we could talk about. Um,

389
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: some Eric the Enemy comes to mind. That a guy

390
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: that hasn't necessarily benefited from playing the game within the game,

391
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: despite playing, according to him, to the to the same

392
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: rules as others. So Matt Naggie gets a job. Eric

393
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: the Enemy doesn't get the job, but they had the

394
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: same job before with the same amount of success. So

395
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: it's an interesting play man. But all things considered, I

396
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: just tell players, if you really want to coach, you

397
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: gotta dedicate to that as much as you did to

398
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: being a player, because it's a tough game to get

399
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: all right. Speaking of coaching, Marcellis, we know you're very fine.

400
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: I believe you are a season ticket holder of the

401
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: l A Chargers. Um, what do you think is gonna

402
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: happen with Anthony Lynn. Will he be given another year

403
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: or will he be gone? He gone? It's weird in

404
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: this world, man, how they say, you know, you gotta

405
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: be PC and when you see strangers, you gotta be

406
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 1: for light to him. And then when you think your

407
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: people should be real to dog, I'm one hunter, no

408
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: matter who you are, especially if you're my family, and

409
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: like family, I respect him so much. I think he

410
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: was in balance, like no one knew what to do

411
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: with his job security until we saw them play the Patriots,

412
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: and I think that drove the point home that WHOA,

413
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: something's not right here. We have too much talent not

414
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: to just be losing, but losing by that number, losing

415
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: in that fashion. That's when things got ugly. And then

416
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: in the sun a week the Patriots get drugged by

417
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: the Rams, right in your same stadium, and that makes

418
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: you realize how distant you are from your goals. So

419
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: I'm not a hundred percent certain, but I think that

420
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: this fan base, and we all know how it goes.

421
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: You got to reset the fan base is expectations, and

422
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: basically you can't roll out with the same players, same coaches,

423
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: same team and say things gonna be different. Most people

424
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 1: don't invest in buy into that. Hey that dude, right,

425
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: I got I got two questions for you, man, Yeah,

426
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: you you're Compton l A guy, right, watch your back?

427
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: How the hell did you go from Compton to Columbia University?

428
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: They both started with a CEO, right, going from playing

429
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: football in California? How you end up in Columbia Universe?

430
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: An author? You don't want to answer? Plea? I mean

431
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: you don't want to answer. Marcelisten said he had two

432
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: questions waiting on the second one or did we lose him?

433
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: Did we lose them? We lost him, but we gotta

434
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: get him back. I'm interested to hear the answer to

435
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: that question as well. How you go from from Captain Tomba.

436
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: He was always a high i Q guy school and

437
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: you know school was more important to him in sports

438
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: at the time in Compton. In Compton, yeah, all I

439
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: heard was Compton didn't Hey, so growing up playing football

440
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: in California? How did you end up in Columbia University?

441
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: This don't make sense to me. It's like it's it's

442
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 1: like the Miami guys in the foot Law of their Guys,

443
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: like why did y'all leave Florida to come to Michigan State.

444
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: They never made a sense to me. Yeah, that's a

445
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: real question, man, I feel you in the short answer

446
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: of it. Man, growing up in l a and knowing

447
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: so many neighborhoods super stars, this guy has started for me.

448
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 1: I'm eight years old and I'm getting my love. I'm

449
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: like a little Pop Warner beast out there. But there

450
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: are other guys older than me killing it, and I'm

451
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: watching them. I'm seeing where they go to high school,

452
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: where they go to college. Do they make it pro

453
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: or how do they transition into the real world because

454
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: they didn't make it. And I just kept seeing guys

455
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: as talented or more talented than I not making it

456
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: all the way, whether that's to the pro level or

457
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: to a smooth transition to the real world. So I

458
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: just started to think, seriously, Like at nine, ten, twelve,

459
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta do the game different. I

460
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: don't know how, and I don't know if you can

461
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: do the game different. But before I got to high school,

462
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: I started to think I can't just be another dude

463
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: thinking I'm a Bahler and I'm gonna make it and

464
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: everything's gonna work out. So when I got my scholarship

465
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: opportunities and recruiting trips. I took like three or four

466
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: big ones, all the Pac ten schools and stuff like that.

467
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: I took my big trips to satisfy the fact that

468
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: if I'm a bawler, I got to go to a

469
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: big school so I can make it to the League.

470
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: But then part of me reserved some space for the

471
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: transition to the real world. So I started thinking academically,

472
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: and I got recruited by my league schools, but really

473
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: Columbia was the only one that stepped up like that.

474
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: Took a trip to New York Man and then I

475
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: was sold because my features, my family, everybody was like, look,

476
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: if this doesn't work out, you're gonna have a great

477
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: safety net in your education. But if it does work out,

478
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: you got the best of both worlds. Because people don't

479
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: just think you smart, even though you come down. Even

480
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: when you say Columbia just jumps off the page when

481
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: you just say Columbia University, Marcellis. But you know the

482
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: truth is they said you was gonna be like Tuik

483
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: from from Power Book on campus, and you even admitted

484
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: it yourself that you and Jay z and and did

485
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: he was it you jay Z And did he shut

486
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: down New York City when you go there for Cloud?

487
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: Was Cloud chasing? Tell the true I was trying to

488
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: get that love through seven. Yeah, you had your back then.

489
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: But look, but getting back to the coaching, you know,

490
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: getting back to the coaching. Um. You know, I played

491
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: for my two thousand seven uh coaching staff for the

492
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: New York Giants. We went on to win, to win

493
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and and none of none of the

494
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: coaches on that staff never played professional football. So what

495
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to take away anything from the coaches

496
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: that are, you know, coaching that they don't deserve the

497
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: opportunity because there are great coaches out there who have

498
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: never played the game. That a great coach. But I

499
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: always say that if you study anything long enough, you

500
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: can learn anything. And you know, I look at a

501
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: coach like blind Brian Flora as what happened with the

502
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins last week, and you know, they had a

503
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: melee on the field and fight broke out and all

504
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: those kind of things. And he got in front of

505
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: the camera after the game and he said, you know what,

506
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: we have to compose We have to compose ourselves better.

507
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna stick up for my players and let

508
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: me know if you ever had a coach that you

509
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: know you have to be respected as a head coach,

510
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: I think to get the best out of your players

511
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: walking through the door in the morning as a player

512
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: and knowing that your coach says that and he has

513
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: your back like you, you played different, you play harder.

514
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a coach that you had that

515
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: much respect for that you was gonna give it extra

516
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: effort for? Yeah? Man, it's crazy and it comes so

517
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: many different ways. How you can respect someone. You can

518
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: respect him because you know that they did it before.

519
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: So you walk into day one before you see Mike

520
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: Singletary coach, you know that he's your coach. Before any games,

521
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: You're like, yo, are kind of respect this dude because

522
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: he went out there and got it. Now, it's a

523
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: different conversation after you start coaching. You gotta keep the

524
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: door open. Opening the door is based off of what

525
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: you did before and your reputation keeping it open. It's

526
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: based on what you do with your job and your title.

527
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: So it's interesting. I played for Bill Parcels, who instantly

528
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: because of reputation, you're gonna give him respect Marty Schottenheimer,

529
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: who you're gonna have to give that respect well. And

530
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: I also played for Wade Phillips, who you you look

531
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: at Ways Phillips and you think that he's a nice

532
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: guy and he's everybody's pal for he about his business

533
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: and he's so relaxed because he already got you prepared.

534
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: So he's like, job already done. Let's just go back

535
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: there and have some fun on that field. So I

536
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: played with guys that I respected, but we gotta understand

537
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: that we respect the most the people that have the acumen,

538
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: have the intelligence, and have the commitment and where what's

539
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: all to make it happen. So Sean McVeigh comes to mind.

540
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people offer resume, will look at Sean

541
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: mcbaby like, I ain't respecting that dude. His granddaddy got

542
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: him in the door. All his relationships can played pro

543
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: And then you talk to Sean McVeigh. You're getting the

544
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: ruin With Sean McVeigh. You realize quick you better fall

545
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 1: in line because he's gonna lead you somewhere nice. And

546
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: I think there's just so many different ways pleas of

547
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: how someone can demand and command that respect and it

548
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: doesn't have to come just from being a player. Some

549
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: sorry players are great coaches. Some great players are horrible coaches,

550
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: and they kind of everything in between. Marcelis speaking of

551
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: uh coming from Compton. You're also an accomplished author of

552
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: the book Never Shut Up, you guys. Make sure you

553
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: check it out. It could be a great stocking stuffer. Um.

554
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: And and understanding what your journey and all those things

555
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: that you've been through. Uh, we certainly want to give

556
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: our appreciation to you in terms of us being a

557
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: part to speak for yourself a successful show that you

558
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: you co host and and that we are contributors to.

559
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: Our last question before we let you go is who's

560
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: your m VP, and just give us a quick reason

561
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: as to why. Yeah, man, we speak for yourself. Family

562
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: with Fox family were just family before all. And I

563
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: love about this man. We're still making it happen m

564
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: my m VT right now, and I'm gonna bring in

565
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: numbers and narratives. In short, as Aaron Rodgers, I think

566
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna have the numbers to trump everybody else out there.

567
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: Catch Up My Home is gonna be right there in

568
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: the conversation. We know he's actually the front runner, right now,

569
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: but he's not the front runner with a story, with

570
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: a narrative. This this trophy, m VP is traveling. They

571
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: love it to touch as many hands as possible, get

572
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: as many faces of the franchise and faces of the

573
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: NFL out there as possible. So I think when it

574
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: comes to a comparable argument and you have a tie

575
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: a tugger war, I think that Aaron Rodgers, who they

576
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: thought was on and declined drafted at his position, moved up,

577
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: got a quarterback in the first round, and he still

578
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: went out there and said middle finger, let me show

579
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: you'a I'm still a feat to say. When they drafted

580
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: old boy, they say, man, I went home and have

581
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: four fingers at the killer. I ain't worried about nothing. Job. Sure, Hey,

582
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: when you say most valuable player, it's think of the

583
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: word most valuable player on the team, obviously Patrick Mahomes.

584
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: But if i'm if I'm to say who's the most

585
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: valuable player? If you take one player off that team,

586
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: they are they don't even make the playoffs, I'm gonna

587
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: go with Dereg Henry. I have to say that because

588
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: if you take Derrick Henry off that football team, what

589
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: do they have offensively. Oh do they have Tanny here?

590
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 1: They got brown? They got some, they do. But I'm

591
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: just saying I played Rodgers. Take Aaron Rodgers off green Bay.

592
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: Watch what happens. See what happens? Like I would think

593
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: that they will be worse than Kansas City without Patrick

594
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes because they still have all those weapons. Like Green

595
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: Bay has the Adams and you know obviously Aaron Jones

596
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: and running game, but they ain't got no quarterback to

597
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: make that happen. So what's gonna happen without Aaron Rodgers?

598
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: You're so doortan about there to see what happens. Yeah,

599
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna It's gonna get ugly. Marcelis Man, truly truly

00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,240

668
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: you guys getting ready for opening kickoff about an hour

669
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: hour and a half away, and your game gets canceled.

670
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: That's exactly been calin Washington State. We're supposed to kick off,

671
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: so Cal travels to Pullman guys and with contact tracing,

672
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: they find out one player tested positive for the coronavirus

673
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: and the entire game gets wiped out. That's according to

674
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman and Fox Sports. That is awful. Yeah, I'd

675
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: be I'd be highly upset, especially once you get there

676
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: and you realize you're not gonna play. Wow, be like, man,

677
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: my mama came, well you're here to wash this good man.

678
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: I would be be really upset if I will as

679
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: Plexico Burr is watching his alma mater play LaVar Arrington's

680
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: alma mater touchdowns. Now, this is getting this is getting personal.

681
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean why not? Well, i mean I'm just saying,

682
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: I mean we're winning, so I might as well take

683
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: full advantage of it. Right, the only won two games,

684
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: just like us. Yeah, but we're gonna have a win

685
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: over you, Hey, Tim, Tim in Indiana, we were coming too,

686
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: You were coming to you shortly on who is your MVP?

687
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: My MT right now, And I'm gonna bring in numbers

688
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: and narratives in short at Aaron Rodgers, I think he's

689
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: going to have the numbers to trump everybody else out there.

690
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: Touching my home is gonna be right there in the conversation.

691
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: We know he's actually the front runner right now, but

692
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: he's not the front runner with a story, with a narrative.

693
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: This this trophy m VP is traveling. They love it

694
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: to touch as many hands as possible, get as many

695
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: faces of the franchise and faces of the NFL out

696
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: there as possible. So I think when it comes to

697
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: a comparable argument and you have a tie tugger war,

698
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: I think that Aaron Rodgers, who they thought was done

699
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: and declined, drafted at his position, moved up, got a

700
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: quarterback in the first round, and he still went out

701
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: there and said middle finger, let me show you'all I'm

702
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: still a piece. Say when they drafted old boy, they say, man,

703
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: I went home and have four fingers at the killer.

704
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: All right, Well that was that dude. Marcell Tim what

705
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: do you think, man? Marcellis gave us his uh m

706
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: v P. What say you? I've given to um Rogers.

707
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 1: But that's not what I called for. Okay, I wouldn't

708
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: drunk to the bar because he's I've been listening to

709
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: him in this time slot for weeks now and he

710
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: seems to be a very very intelligent man. And I

711
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: want to talk about the Big Ten briefly, Okay, okay, Well,

712
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: let's Indiana play in the Big Ten title game and

713
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: then Ohawo State we're played, irwa that we're boat raced them,

714
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: and then you've got Big Ten going out to the

715
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: UFC and just trump and damn that would be Indiana

716
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 1: and the festival. Ohio State still would have got their

717
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: final because they're brandy. I mean, I think what you're

718
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: saying makes absolute sense. It just it just it just

719
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: hurts that, you know, COVID has disrupted the approach to

720
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: being able to get to where your destination is this year,

721
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: and quite quite frankly, I mean you you gotta look

722
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: at Ohio State and the reason why they're making concessions

723
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: around Ohio State to be able to play in the

724
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: Big Ten Championship void of some of those games that

725
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: those matchups that you just when you move the needle,

726
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: they changed for you. And that that's the Big ten

727
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: is looking for a representation in the playoff and that's

728
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: the reason for that. So appreciate the call, uh, And

729
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate the compliment. Usually when you get a compliment

730
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: before questions, it's back handy. I thought you were about

731
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: to get me. But let's go back to m v P.

732
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: Justin talk to me from Cincinnati. Who's your m v

733
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: P for the NFL. Well, first of all, I want

734
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: to say this, Uh, your new guy, that he should

735
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: have been a m VP of the Super Bowl. And

736
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: he knows what I'm talking about. It was a great thrill,

737
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: but a better catch, that's right. And it's not even closed.

738
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: He's Jordan. He's doing things said we've never seen Rogers

739
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 1: is Rogers. But you guys are doing a great job

740
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: on the new show. Thank you, thank you so much.

741
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: Appreciate just who he said, Tarek kill Now he sat

742
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: my home, my homes Okay, so I can, I can,

743
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 1: I can? I can see that. And but marceliss point

744
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: is this Patrick Mahomes has Travis Kelsey, Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins,

745
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: Migo Hardman, Levian Bell, Clyde and words Hilary. He has

746
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: a lot to work with. Whereas you say Aaron Rodgers,

747
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: you say Davante Adams, Aaron Jones, no one else. So

748
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: I can see it both ways. And that's why these

749
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 1: last uh four games of the season is gonna be paramount.

750
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna show you who really deserves to win this MVP.

751
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: Al Right, well, I think my m VP right now

752
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: is going to be And if you don't know who

753
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: that is looking up, he's gonna win. He's gonna win

754
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: the MVP award every single time. Now, Seriously, seriously, you

755
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,479
Speaker 1: know my m VP of this year. I'm I could

756
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: be crazy, but why am I thinking Ben Roethlisberger as

757
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: the MVP of the If you don't, are you serious?

758
