WEBVTT - All-NFL Draft 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:06.439 The Around the NFL Podcast refuses to use the nickname 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:10.240 Daddy Rich. Welcome back to another edition of the Around 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:12.600 the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis, and I 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.319 am joined by a room filled with some heroes. Chris 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:17.840 Westling to my left and Gregg Rose with All to 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:21.439 my right. What's up boys? Hey, Dandy Rich? Hey, I 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.240 like it right in your face money Smith. Of course, 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.160 that that was the nickname that Dan wishes if he 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.480 had started to call him. Not true. I think he 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.400 hasn't really caught on it was. It was thrown my 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.120 way by West actually Chuck Daily, and I said, oh, 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.320 I kind of like that. Incidentally, I saw the Bad 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.519 Boys doc last night was on TV, and then that 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.520 was the first time ever there Rich, and I never 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.680 forced it. I said, I do like that, but you know, 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.760 we'll let Lindsey decide. Lindsay, actually I think went with 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.560 Daddy Rich. But we just rolled with old Zeuzer anyway, 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.040 and I never fought it. The listeners clearly preferred the 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.640 old Zeus Yes, so, Greg, I feel like maybe a 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.600 tech Loosa News type retraction is an auder right now. 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.759 I'm not retracting anything. I stand by that you set 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.360 up lindsay in a way that she was going to 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:15.320 pick that one. But that's you know, old news. Mark 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.440 is a way. He's not here today. He's he's relaxing 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.440 or doing something. I have no idea what Mark's doing, 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.039 but I know that we're here and we have what 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:28.200 I like to call a good show. M big show, 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.560 big show, good show. We are going to you know, 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.160 the top one hundred wrapped up The NFL Network's top 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.520 one hundred players of two thousand, fifteen wrapped up. Um 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.640 spoiler alert J J. Watt Number one got us thinking, hey, 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.480 what if we use that top one hundred, uh and 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.120 then kind of did a little in house draft here 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.960 and each pick some players and then maybe leave it 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.320 to you, the listeners, to decide who has the best 0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.760 drafted team of the top one hundred between the Maleman, 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.080 the Old zeus Er, A K. Daddy Rich and the Boss. 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.200 So we'll do that. That's gonna be fun. I like 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.600 all that. I like all that kind of stuff. That 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.240 kind of party. Yeah, I like that kind of party. Um. Uh, 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.160 we were gonna get Connor on the phone, and you 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.240 know what that means. It means it's a Thursday, and 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.839 it's uh, it's a fun time because are you kidding me? 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.680 We'll be back for another week. Uh. And also one 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.200 one thing before we uh get into the news with 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:32.359 t D is downstairs, I saw Elliot Harrison. Who really, 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.640 when you talk about who is the um, the trivia maestro, 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.959 or the most knowledgeable NFL media employee when it comes 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.600 to the overall league history, the only person that you 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:46.560 would everything could challenge West is Elliott. Uh. And I 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.959 challenged Elliott outright and said, hey, you gotta get in 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.400 the ring and take on West. It's time next time 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.000 we play when West's toaster in August and uh, he 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.240 kind of backed away from the question, pretended like he 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.960 was hurt that he hasn't really been invited on our 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.320 podcast too often, so why would he do the show? Uh? 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.680 And by two often, you mean never, right? And then 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.639 I said, listen, I know you're just ducking it. Give 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.560 me an answer. And this is all he said, and 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.280 this is a direct quote. I think my knowledge in 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.919 the afwamentioned area is well established. So I think we're 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.040 heading towards something. I'm gonna don king this. I'm gonna 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:21.600 dan king this and hopefully you know well. Listeners out there. 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.800 Let us know if you even know who Elliott is 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:29.600 much less? Also, are we sure he's even smart? He 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.040 knows more about NFL history than a guy like Jeff 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:37.960 Birchfield Birch who was rattling off seventies that today Jeff 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.600 Birchfield works downstairs as well. I don't know, we'll see anyway, 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.760 but I do think that, um, that would be an 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.720 epic matchup. That's the holy Field Tyson matchup. I've always 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:51.200 gone for hope, for the Fraser Foreman type stuff. Um, 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.400 something to keep an eye on. I've got a statement 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.480 of my own. I am not scared of Elliot Harrison 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.000 one bit. Bring him on. Where's the bunts of blur 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.720 burning blowtorts? Need it? He's like, I don't like that 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.200 drop too much. This was nine sixties football trivia. He 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.360 do pretty well, but he's not getting dick buckets, commercials 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.640 and stadium names and who let second in the NFL 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.720 and interceptions last year. This is uh the only scenario 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.400 where I would root for West. So there is a 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.400 lot of heat between Harrison and Rosenthal TD. Do we 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.080 have the Bunsen burner? We do have the blowtorch? Yes, 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.640 I thought you retired it in honor of the gold standard. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.720 Well I didn't love it. Yeah, he retired himself. That's 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.599 an important distinction. Yeah, he feels a way about the 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.120 Bunsen burn or blow Georges, Greg does about my toaster 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.880 and Elliot Harrison apparently. Okay, TD, how you doing, buddy, 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.279 I'm doing good. I just heads up that we did 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.840 the podcast outro nominees in the last show and lad 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.919 this show we shall be revealing the winner has voted 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.720 on by the listeners. Oh that's exciting. Yeah, look at that. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.680 It's just went from a good show to a great show, 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.440 just real quick. I actually forgot to give out the 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:05.279 podcast MVP last episode retroactive. You know how many people 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.359 came up to us on Twitter and mentioned, No, no, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.280 I didn't hear anything. I didn't he Actually I didn't 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.720 get any. However, it was shocking because Mark Sester wasn't 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.279 the lead that was that was actually going to happen, 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.960 and any of the guys. I'm gonna watching Wacky Races 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.159 back in the day. Wacky Races, Yeah, with Dick Dastile 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.360 and Mutley, and there was a race that he never 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.160 won the laugh Olympics. Are you thinking of now this 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.279 a Nigeria program, It's a cartoon in a cartoon network 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.240 back in the day. Either way, they never won, they 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.040 always they always came close. And that kind of reminds 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.680 me of Mark the Wily Coyote be the better reference there. Yeah, 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:47.839 I don't know. I like I like wacky racist. Alright, 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.640 so no MVP then, um not from it was going 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.440 to be Mark. Let's leave it that way. I don't 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.720 know if that counts. That's an asterisk. Yeah, all right, 0:05:55.800 --> 0:06:08.120 let's do some news there. It is the winner of 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.240 the podcast contest. Wait, way to really build the suspense 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.560 over the course of the show. Yeah, later, you are 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:19.400 a master. You're like Hitchcock. Yeah, there it is. You 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.400 know you gold that out the whole time. I want 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.520 to do it that way. Well, congratulations Greg. I like 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.880 Dan's song, so I don't leave you it as a 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.120 personal victory. But uh TD did a great job with 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.680 the material I gave him choosing she saw he was 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.000 He did do a great job with the material. You game. 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.000 It was a little bit it was a little bit 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:44.080 crooked because Greg also cited an actual song he went 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.560 up to t D privately, which was not within the rules. 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.000 It was supposed to be just off ten words, so 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.680 I don't like that aspect of it, But overall I 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.599 liked the song. So I loves Dandy York coming out. 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.920 It's all right, listen, we're all happy with it. We 0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.840 all thought the song was good. All right, let's start 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.360 with UH, the New York Giants and some rough news 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.240 obviously out of their camp. Jason Pierre Paul, who of 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:11.120 course suffered that injury to his hand UH while lighting 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:16.440 fireworks on the fourth of July. On Wednesday, he had 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:21.720 a medical procedure to amputate his right index finger, which 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.680 was badly damaged enough that the decision was made. I 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.120 don't know whether it was for career reasons or just 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.320 because it was a situation where it wasn't gonna ever 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.520 be back too close to what it was, but they 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.840 made the decision to lose the finger. UM, so that 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.280 will actually potentially help his recovery period in getting back 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:43.560 onto the field to play football. Also, um, and this 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.600 is obviously not on the same level, but also suffered 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.560 a broken thumb with the fireworks incident, and that is 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.320 another issue he has to come back from. So Jason 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:59.520 Pierre Paul um lifetime ramifications of this incident. Chris Wesley. Yeah, 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.960 it seemed like he made the decision on this. He 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.320 made the call, and the decision was made so he 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.680 could speed it up and ideally be back in two months. 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.640 But you wonder with the broken thumb too, how strong 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.200 is his hand going to be and how is it 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.680 going to affect his game. We can cite Ronnie Lotton, 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.200 Whitney Merciless who had portions of their fingers cut off, 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.480 but we really don't know how a guy who really 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.720 practiced his hand fighting on every play of the game 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.320 with three pound offensive lineman, how that's gonna affect his game. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.920 This story it's really wild. I mean, well, think about 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.640 this story for tenure. Think of think of a story 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.560 where you hear the news he had his finger amputated 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.800 so that could get him back on the field faster. 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.720 Like that. It was sold as good news, it's great news, 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.400 he'll get his finger, and that the broken thumb actually 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.520 could be a bigger problem in terms of just strictly 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.839 getting back on the field. That could hold him back more. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.079 That's that's pretty weird. The report initially came out with 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:00.440 his hospital records, which was very strange. The Giant went 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.679 to Miami to go see him that day, and Jason 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.760 Pierre Paul and his family did not allow them to 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.480 see Jason Pierre Paul. That's that's a strange thing, too, 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.720 very weird. It seems like he was getting skin graphs, 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.320 having bones put in his fingers for multiple breaks. There 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.600 was all kinds of gianers going on going on at 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.640 the time. But the reports say, but they could have 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.000 told the Giants that. Therefore, say the Giants found out 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.600 that he was getting his finger amputated from ESPN. Yeah, 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.200 they can't be too thrilled about that. No, I can't 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.800 imagine they'd be too thrilled. And I guess JPP maybe 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.920 he wouldn't be so thrilled that the Giants publicly or 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.959 made it known that they were revoking the long term 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.680 deal so soon after all this went down. You know, 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.800 maybe there's some bad blood between the two sides. But 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:49.080 obviously a very very tough situation, uh for JPP, who 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.000 was again you know, where do we where do we 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.760 put him one of the top ten pass rushers in 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.720 the league or maybe fifteen? I mean, this is a 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.880 big time star player who may never be the same again, 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.960 A big time star player who's set up to make 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.160 more money this year, I believe than he's made in 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.800 his entire career by far up to this point. So 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.040 it's a massive year for him and his decision not 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.600 to sign the franchise. Second, there's just there's a lot 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.880 going on here. Yeah, and amazingly, I mean, this is 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.280 just incredible. This is not the only fireworks related injury 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:24.520 suffered over the weekend. C J. Wilson, a cornerback for 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.559 the Tampa Bay Bucks, also suffered a hand in hand injury, 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.959 his agent told NFL media on Wednesday, and rap sheet 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.560 Ian rap Report later reported um that the injury is 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.640 serious enough to warrant that Wilson's career might be in jeopardy. Um. 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:41.760 His health is the focus right now and will be 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.920 for some time. Rap Report reported, Uh, this sounds like 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.840 uh and even more serious injury than JPP, who at 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:50.480 least knows he's going to have a shot to get 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.679 back on the field. C. J. Wilson does not have 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:57.120 that same benefit. It's insane might end his career. There's 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.240 never been a fireworks finger accident in NFL his street 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.439 as far as known, and then too at the exact 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.480 same time, We're living in a world where these were 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.000 different segments that were on television, which finger is the 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.400 most important to play football? Ranking them, Um, you know 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.959 the index finger wasn't that highly ranked. And then another 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.400 one was her Edwards showing how you do need fingers 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.480 to play football. Her and just like ever since you 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.080 left the Jets, and maybe he was on the cheese, 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.400 he still had it all together. But that guy is 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:28.120 a maniac. I give him all the money just having 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.240 in front of Gava saying crazy stuff. You could pull 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.320 a homeless man off the street and he could explain 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.480 why you need fingers to play football. Uh yeah, so 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.080 But anyway, C J. Wilson friend roster player, he can't 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:45.520 affords you feel for him again, it's an accident. And 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.080 you can be sure that now every coach as part 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.480 of their we'll see you later for the Summer's speech 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.120 from now until the end of maybe at least the 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.240 next ten years, is going to make the fireworks speech. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.640 Don't play with fireworks on July four. Have one of 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.160 your flunky friends handle all the fireworks for you. It's 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.920 weird that this needed to be explained, but apparently it does. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.920 Because these guys thought they I guess we're invincible, so 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.679 I think my anti fireworks stands. I'm entrenched on that now. 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.840 And everybody calmed down with the fingers jokes on Twitter too, 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:19.000 because it is you know, it's a sad thing. Moving forward, 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.960 the supplemental Draft has has gone down. You know, handsome 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.319 hand Henry Hodson. Really one of the highlights in the 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.040 terms of analysis on NFL dot com every year is 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:33.080 his his mock draft. He he said one player would 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.920 get picked. He said it would be Clemson offensive tackle 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.120 Isaiah Battle. He got that right, nailed it again. But 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.319 he goes to the St. Louis Rams and the fifth 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.520 round of the supplemental Draft. Hank said, the fourth round 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.600 to the Bucks. So, uh, the Rams give up their 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:53.400 fifth round selection the draft, Uh to get Battle? Who 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:58.679 is a prospect that people are excited about? Yeah, your boy. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:04.440 Less sneaed Rans general manager basically tacitly acknowledged that Isaiah 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.320 Battle isn't ready to play in the NFL. He's he 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.959 said that this time next year we'll start his rookie season. 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.720 M That sounds like just setting really low expectations for 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.240 a guy that will have some attention on him just 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.200 because he happened to be the supplemental draft pick. It 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.480 really stands out to me that the Rams tick an 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.959 offensive lineman. Hank Hanks should have seen this coming because 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:30.560 the Rams took four offensive linemen in May's draft, which 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.319 I've never I don't think I've ever seen a team 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.800 take four offensive lineman in wonder. I'm sure it happens 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.320 here and there, but that that's a lot of offensive 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.240 lineman one draft, and then you had another. They've got 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.520 an entire starting offensive line just of rookies. Yeah, I 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.760 think that could present problems. That you've got most of 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.200 the offensive lineman on your roster have never played it 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.199 down before. That could be a problem. You don't exactly 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.920 have a history of swinging and hitting home runs with 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.040 offensive line picks. In St. Louis, Greg Robinson not looking 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.920 great after one year. Jason Smith one of the underrated 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.640 all time bus he was Remember he was the safe 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.320 pick in that drift and you know, again unless need Yeah, 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.199 my boy, if he didn't have the best hair in 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.240 the game and dress impeccably well, and really, let's be honest, 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.280 he's basically a nine people would be saying, what what 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.160 is this guy doing? Why is he blown picks. He's 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:21.160 already took four offensive linemens. But because he's hot, everyone's like, hey, 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.600 this guy knows that. Don't let's be honest. Your opinion 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.000 unless need is basically done. A one eight over the 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.080 last two years has well, you had nothing but praise 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.040 for him. There's some hair. I don't remember that. There's 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:32.840 some hair heat, you know, like the kids like to 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:36.680 say real recognized real, It's like hair recognize his hair. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.560 He's a little teflon. I don't like anybody that's teflon. Well, 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:45.440 aren't you in what sense? Nobody has anything on you 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.920 that's not true? That's true, and your hair is kind 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:53.320 of teflon like to Alright, moving on, here we go. 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:58.120 J J. Watt Zach Mettenberger, it's back on boys, Ding 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:02.280 Ding Ding. In a recent interview with Campus sports dot net, 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:07.000 Uh Mettenburger, the Titans quarterback, uh had this to say 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.680 about J. J. Watton, just in terms of a little reminder. 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.480 Right before his first start, Mettenberger posted a selfie of himself. 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:18.080 J J. Watt took umbradge with that um and after 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.000 sacking Mettenburger in the first game that they played against 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.920 each other, did a mock selfie pick you know, had 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.760 some fun with it, as J. J. Watt is known 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.360 to do. Now Mettenburger strikes back. Here was a quote 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.680 JJ had to say. JJ had to say, it's a 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.960 bit high schoolish that I take selfies, and I think 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.000 he still rags on me on Instagram every time he 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.960 posts a selfie, he said Tuesday via the Houston Chronicle. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.480 At the same time, if that's high schoolish, he got 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.960 a letterman jacket, made a Texans letterman jacket. That's pretty 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:54.880 high schoolish to me, don't you think, hey, hey, hey, hey, 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.320 hey hey. Absolutely, I mean, listen, I'm not gonna get 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.960 on the Attenburger train. But he's right that the Texans 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.080 letterman jacket was one of the cheesiest things in recent 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:10.000 NFL history, and anyone who disagree disagrees is a cheeseball himself. 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.560 It really started the downfall of that franchise. They were 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.440 on their way to go face the Patriots in Foxburg. 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.720 They were ride and high, they break out the letterman jackets, 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.000 they get blown out of the building, coaches end up 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.800 getting fired. A year later, Shob gets injured. It all 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.400 tased back to the They're getting mocked by the Patriots 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.400 afterwards and everyone in the football world because you just 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.320 I mean, you're a bunch of like twenty seven year 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.360 old dudes and you're like reliving your glory days like 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.440 you're the high school prom. This story belongs in a 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:42.680 high school newspaper, not on NFL dot com. Selfies. J 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:47.200 J J. J. Watt went way overboard with his disgust 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.280 of especially if he's still taking selfies. Well, that's what 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.240 I'm talking about. Selfies are ridiculous, they are immature, they're 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.440 high school is in it. I've seen about enough selfie 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.000 sticks in l at the let's the rest of my 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.360 life that this newde trend is horrible. That's true. It 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.000 is weak though that J J. Wat. I mean, I 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.359 don't I can't verify this is true, but I would 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.879 I would always trust with Zach Mettenberg says that J. J. 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.920 Watt takes selfies on Instagram and then makes fun of Mettenberg. Right, 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.720 It's like it's like in a selfie sack dance, didn't 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.760 he Yeah, it's it's it's like the guy that makes 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.520 fun of, you know, his girlfriend or something for having 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.719 Miley Cyrus albums and then has like seven songs on 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.400 his iTunes playlist from her it is, you know, keep 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.240 it real, bro, It's like, no, we started heat with him. 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.520 You you J. J. Watt is on your list. That's 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:40.840 a quality analogy. Wod look at you? That's Sully looks 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:45.760 different all of a sudden, that's Sully's music. Sully like 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.040 as soon as he hears anything about a music artist 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.000 like Elbow drops TV and then gets behind the class, 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:55.240 which I I applaud. I applauded him for that. Good 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.960 job there, Sully. By the way, I think Dan for 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.119 that analogy, He's got to be the m v P 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.399 for today already. Well, actually I should have went with 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.439 something the Mile of Cyrus. That's a little two thousand thirteen. 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.040 I could have done a little better. Maybe it should 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:14.280 have went with Grande. Whoa, Wes, where did that come from? 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.040 She has been in the news lately, so I whoa, 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.800 that was like a rain Man esque It just came 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.080 from nowhere. I don't even know who are even like 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.879 West's faces even stunned after he said the words just 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:30.800 like float out of him. Grand have you took it 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:32.840 to the next level and said, you know what what 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.080 was doing is is like licking donuts. Then yeah, I 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.879 really would have been. You know that's about I don't know. 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:41.800 All right, Well, listen, you can't build rome in a day, 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.120 made anything like a window liquor, a donut liquor. Kind 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.520 of look it up when we get downstairs. A movie 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.320 on Marcus Lattimore, the San Francisco Ford and I was 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:55.040 running back. They retired abruptly last fall, this after the 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.120 Niners invested a fourth round pick on him in the draft, 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.760 after Lattimore suffered really one of the word usknee injuries, 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:05.560 uh that we've ever seen. Um. He told Espionnation, who 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.160 did um writer for Espionation did a pretty uh involved 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.560 profile of him. He explained that all this talk and 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.199 all the posts that we wrote about Lattimore working his 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.600 way back, it was never really the real deal because 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.360 he never felt right. This was a quote. I went 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:22.159 out there and put a smile on my face like 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.000 everything was all right, but it was hell every day. 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.800 And he added, My running backs coach was like, good job, 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.040 good job, he'd say. My offensive coordinator, you know I 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.520 was catching balls out of the backfield, was like, man, 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.879 you look good, and I was like, you have no clue. 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.520 So he said that he was in so much pain. Basically, 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.200 first of all, his recovery plateau, and he knew that 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:43.520 he would never be able to do the things he 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.000 used to be able to do. And then the pain 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:48.240 was so much that he started taking oxy cotton h 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:53.560 codeon uh oxy coda oxy cotton, which is a powerful 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.920 and addictive pain killer. And he was smart enough to say, 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.240 my dreams are over. This is not gonna happen. But 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:04.360 kind of enlightening and surprising to hear this. I was, yeah, 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.280 I was shocked by this report. It wasn't really I 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:08.719 don't have the quotes in front of me, but this 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.120 wasn't the song he was singing when the forty Niners 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.560 drafted him. He was very optimistic about his career. Well, 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.600 that's how you have to be. He's probably a denial 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:18.959 as well, Yeah, what what else can you do when 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.960 you're speaking to the media. It's it is amazing. I mean, 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.240 a player having that miserable of an experience, you're gonna 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.240 try to put a happy face on it. But there's 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.440 a lot going on and in that Espion Nation piece, 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.439 and if like myself, I was always interested in his 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.040 story just because that he was even able to get 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.880 drafted and try to come back after suffering that. Dr 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.320 James Andrews, who performed the second knee surgery, said that 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.720 his his ligament looked like literally looked like spaghetti. It 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.800 would it would have been shredded. So he tore three ligaments, 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.800 which is almost earnheard of, and dislocated his kneecap, almost 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:55.359 lost the leg. So um, just almost making it back 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.160 is amazing, but it just wasn't gonna happen. Well, the 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.359 good thing of reading the story was he seemed that 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:02.879 piece that the thing he was really surprised about was 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:07.520 when he decided, you know, to stop playing that suddenly 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.159 he was relieved and he was happy and he was 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.320 ready ready to move on. I mean he even questions, 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.800 I mean he questioned the very idea that they drafted him. 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:16.480 He said, I mean, why would you take a running 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:21.280 back with two horrible knees? That's true? Wow, the shot 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:25.119
