Speaker 1: about ninety minutes ago that today was your birthdays, So

36
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,640

Speaker 1: with both of you gentlemen separately, and I didn't know

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: it was your birthdays. So if if if you guys

39
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,079

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: that I either wasn't invited or chose not to attend.

46
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: I was out of town. Otherwise I would have been

47
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: there obviously. And then I went out of town. I

48
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: went up into the mountains to Panga Canyon and built fires,

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: read some books, enjoyed being close to nature and some solitude.

91
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: it's fun. You lived it up a little bit more

92
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: than I would have predicted Greg Rosenthal would live it up. Yeah,

93
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: I think I felt it. I think I felt the

94
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: big number and was just like, well, what what would

95
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: I want to do? I would want to eat some

96
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: good food, uh, you know, days on end and I

97
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: and I accomplished. There is a trend, especially you see

98
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: it on Instagram where there are these um and you

99
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: don't fall into this category at all, Greg, but like

100
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: these women that are single in their their late thirties

101
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: and forties where it's not just a week, but it's

102
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: an entire month celebrating their birthday and it's and it's

103
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: to the point where to dance. You have no idea

104
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: when the actual birthday is because it's been an ongoing

105
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: festival of self celebration. You came close to that in

106
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: a very well too. It felt too much five dinners

107
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: or four dinners, dinners. It's a little ridiculous. But here's

108
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: the thing. You have different friend groups once you're our age,

109
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: and it's like, do you want to like have to

110
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: like figure eight, do you want to organize anything? No?

111
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: And then be do you want to have to try

112
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: to combine it all. No, Like my friend happened to

113
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: be coming in from out of town Tuesday, so that's

114
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: when that's when we'll go out my other friend's birthdays

115
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: to it all just kind of worked out that you

116
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: you do it separately, and that's that's the way to go.

117
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: We'll circle back to this topic at the end of

118
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: the show, but before we do that, we have a

119
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: lot of football to talk about. All these forty somethings

120
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: surrounding me. Um Erica. You're just the two young kids.

121
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: Just there's a couple of millennials trying to figure out

122
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: Now I'm on kissing this corner. Like a decades long

123
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: gap between you and Erica, but continue to live in

124
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: your midland. Um, all right, that's what we got coming

125
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: up today, free agency. It's not as far as way

126
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: as you think. We're talking inside a month now, everybody.

127
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take a look at who's on the market.

128
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: And it always gets paired down, of course when you

129
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: factor in the franchise tag guys. But who's who's going

130
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: to hit the market and what would be kind of

131
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: fun logical fits. Uh. So we'll go around the horn

132
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 1: a couple of times talk that uh. And also big

133
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: news uh, involving Colin cap Bernick. So why don't we

134
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: get going with the news hit it, Ricky, Happy birthday too,

00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: heart still beats for you again. I can't but I

156
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: can't kill that. I can't make that go away. Hey,

157
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: someday you're gonna be replaced and we're gonna speak glowingly

158
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: about you. I love the one You're what. That's why

159
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: we brought you here, Erica. We have to let you go. No,

160
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: we love you to Erica. It's a complicated situation, all right,

161
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: let's start speaking of complicated situations. Colin Kaepernick Eric read Um.

162
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: Read currently with the Carolina Panthers, just got a new contract.

163
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: In fact, Kaepernick, who's been out of football since the

164
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: end of two thousand sixteen. Uh, they have reached a settlement.

165
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: They reached a settlement with the NFL UH concerning their

166
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: collusion grievances against the league. UH. This was announced Friday.

167
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: So we're a little behind the curve on this because

168
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: we weren't with you on Monday show. But the terms

169
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: not disclosed. It's all confidential. We don't know what Kaepernick

170
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: and read got out of this, Greg, but what we

171
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: do know, or what it seems at least just kind

172
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: of reading the tea, leaves that while we don't know,

173
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: if Kaepernick and Reid had an actual case that could

174
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: have went all the way and led to a victory.

175
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: And that was where it initially started out on there,

176
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: and the NFL made the decision they didn't want to

177
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: maybe get let it get that far, and in the end,

178
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they said, let's just

179
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: settle this and try to move forward. Yeah, there's no way.

180
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: And I've been annoyed to hear the hot takes on this.

181
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: To know the total motivations on both sides, but the NFL.

182
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: The clearest thing is that the NFL believed it, you know,

183
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: it was worth it was worth settling this case because

184
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: they didn't want to lose or they you know, they're

185
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: admitting some fault here essentially, And it doesn't really wrap

186
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,119
Speaker 1: up Colin kaepernick story, but it does potentially, and the

187
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: story that started in two thousand sixteen that he's had

188
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: with the NFL, you know, assuming he's not going to

189
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: be back in the league feels like a pretty safe assumption.

190
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it has been a long process, and I'm

191
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: sure there's you know, there's got to be part of

192
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: him and an Eric Reed that's relieved to be done

193
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: with the process on their side too. And I think

194
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: Bamonty Jones wrote a really good piece on on The

195
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: Undefeated about it. Just for all the people that kind

196
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: of want wanted more from Kaepernick, it's almost like, you know, what,

197
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: what more? What more does he have to give up?

198
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: Like why why is it his responsibility to hold this mantle?

199
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: I think when he started all of this, he could

200
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: have never seen the direction that it went. And I

201
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: think there are times he was maybe uncomfortable with like

202
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: being the face of him. He's barely spoken the last

203
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: couple of years, and I think he's handled it all

204
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: well and and and that this is sort of the

205
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: end point between him in the NFL. I would be

206
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: stunned if he gets a job at the stage. Um,

207
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: I guess it's certainly possible. I believe someone in his camp,

208
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: whether it was a lawyer, went out and mentioned the

209
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: Patriots as a possible candidate, or said that he was

210
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of interest on the market. I

211
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: just I find it very hard to believe. So at

212
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, yeah, be a good, good

213
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: and not ending, but that would it would be a

214
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: good code at the end of this story, if you'd

215
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: all get back in the league. I just almost given

216
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: up believing it's possible. If it hasn't happened at this point,

217
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if it does. And it is, yeah,

218
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: you wonder, um how much money, And well, I don't

219
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: know if we'll ever know. I guess that's just how

220
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: this works. What was the final settlement, because what this

221
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: ended up being when the NFL settles, Kaepernick was essentially

222
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: saying he was being blackballed from the league. If they

223
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: settle the NFL and the ball sides have to come

224
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: up with an agreement how much money that cost Colin Kaepernick,

225
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: and it essentially this whole adventure, this whole saga, ended

226
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: his career well. And I mean, I think Greg, you

227
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: put it all very well. It's like the one thing

228
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: the NFL probably is very happy about is that the

229
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: whole thing is wrapped up inside a confidentiality agreement, where

230
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: to your question, Dan will never know, and I think

231
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: that the NFL will be happy that will never know

232
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: what was done behind closed doors. And and I'm not

233
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: sure if it's just like a money figure, I'm not

234
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: sure what that would really mean anyways, unless there's other things.

235
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: They also went through much to me to find out,

236
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: whether it's X amount of money or more or what.

237
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: I think it's more than just a settlement. There was

238
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: the investigation included like going through people's phones, going through emails,

239
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: and we'll never know what any of that entailed or

240
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: what was said in The NFL didn't want anything to

241
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,359
Speaker 1: do with that being public or having owners sitting giving depositions.

242
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: All that stuff was. I think they sought to avoid

243
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: that and that's how this ended up. Um Let's move

244
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: on Antonio Brown another saga, endless saga. He met with

245
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: Steelers president Art Rooney the second and after it Round

246
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: tweeted that both agreed that it is time to move on.

247
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: What's next? That's the question, wes Antonio Brown. Uh. He

248
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: he can't stop talking. He won't stop talking. UH. Peter King,

249
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: in his UH Football Morning in America column UH reported

250
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: that at least one team UH looks at all these

251
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: comments Antonio Brown is making on a near daily basis

252
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: as something that makes you want to stay away from him.

253
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: You wonder how many teams are like that. Brown wants

254
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: guaranteed money, he wants a new deal. Is he gonna

255
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: get what he wants and the Steeler is gonna be

256
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: able to unload this player? Or is all this gonna

257
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: be meaning nothing and he's gonna be in the Pittsburgh

258
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: Week one that's still possible. It's been interesting to watch

259
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: how the story has shifted and maybe how his motivations

260
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: have shifted. Started out as him being in hot water,

261
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: him being in trouble for throwing a tantrum, going a wall,

262
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: and not showing up to one of the most important

263
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: games of his career, and now it appears to be

264
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: a chance for him to earn more money than he

265
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: was gonna get with the Steelers. He wants more guaranteed money.

266
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: He wants to be in a prime situation, and I

267
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna get everything he wants that

268
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: the suitor would have to be perfect in order to

269
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: do all that. And I think one of the things

270
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: Greg's turning forty. One of the things about getting orders,

271
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: you realize you don't have to surround yourself with people

272
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: you don't like. You can win a super Bowl without

273
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. Teams have been doing it for years, winning

274
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: super Bowls within out Antonio Brown. And if I'm running

275
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: a team, I'm just thinking, this guy is just not

276
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: worth what he's bringing to the table. He's just not

277
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: worth it. I don't want to surround myself with this

278
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: quality of person. I mean, there's also the other side

279
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: to Antonio Brown. You always hear this. I would be

280
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: if I were running the front office, that would be

281
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: I'd I'd agree with you. God Ever, I think twice

282
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: about adding his whole makeup to the locker room. But

283
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: he always has talked about also is one of the

284
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: hardest workers, deeply committed to football, and he is an

285
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: incredible football player. This is not the same thing as

286
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt or someone else who offers an entirely different,

287
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, world of issues. This is like hen the

288
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: right locker room handle Antonio Brown. And if he gets

289
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: what he wants, will he go quiet for a while

290
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: and be a good soldier? I don't know. Yeah, the

291
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: contract thing makes it trickier. How important that is? What

292
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: you know that a team that's interested needs to find

293
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: out because to me, his contract is one of the

294
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: really attractive things about him. I mean, he's probably gonna

295
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: end up making you know, on that contract less over

296
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: the next two years. Then let's say Golden Tate or

297
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: some you know, some free agents gonna get so of

298
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: course like that that's a pretty good value. And the

299
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Steelers are trying to like salvage their leverage, and in

300
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: their GM talked about it on Wednesday, you know, Kevin

301
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: Colbert saying they're not going to give him away, but

302
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: that the two sides did agree that they're gonna make

303
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: a good faith effort to try to trade him, but

304
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: that if they don't get a good offer, that they'll

305
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: revisit the circumstance then And no, one seems to believe

306
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers that they would ever keep them. I I

307
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: tend to think the Steelers are the rare team that

308
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: they'll take this all the way up into the draft,

309
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: and I think that's when the best deal is gonna come.

310
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: And I think they'll get a good enough deal and

311
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: that's probably one they'll trade him. But if for some

312
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: reason people really were totally out on Antonio Brown and

313
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: no one's offering better than like a third or a

314
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: second round pick, I don't know. I think they might

315
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: just try to like figure it out then in May

316
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: and they think they're hoping that doesn't happen. They don't often,

317
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, Look, they're not often the embarrassed party in public.

318
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: They're the opposite. And so I think you're absolutely right

319
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: there on the team, Like it only takes one team,

320
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: something like the forty Niners. Once you get into the draft,

321
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, they can trade down, they'll pick up

322
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: more picks they give him like a mid late first

323
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: round pick. And this this again points out the need

324
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: from my idea for having all the NFL g ms

325
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: in a subreddit where we could just know what people

326
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: are thinking, uh internally about Antonio Brown. There's certainly in

327
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: my mind if I were do you don't think there's

328
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: texting going on. There's texting, But I want the subreddit.

329
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: I want a real community feel and the idea that

330
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: what percentage of gms think that Antonio Brown is like

331
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 1: a nut, like he's crazy, and I don't want him

332
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: near my team. I know how amazing he is as

333
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: a player, and just so everybody knows, um, he's no

334
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: longer a B. That is not the accepted nomenclature at

335
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: this point for Antonio Brown. While doing a Instagram live

336
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: video on an elliptical running at full speed, uh sweat

337
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: pouring down his face, he announced, call me Mr big Chest,

338
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: big chest from now on, big Chest Brown from now on.

339
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: Don't even call me a B. Just call me big chest.

340
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: So I don't now he said, He said it was

341
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: and asking he was like, don't even call me a

342
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: by call me big. People giving themselves nicknames number one

343
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: is you know remember when Dan tried to call himself

344
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: Danny Rich. I mean that worked better than this. That

345
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: was your idea you pitched that old zeuser was something

346
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: that maybe came from me. I've had enough. Maybe I've

347
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: had a number of nicknames, but I did name myself,

348
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, sixt g as my rap name, and that's

349
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: stuck pretty well. So I mean, I'm into it, big Chest.

350
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you. It's just a bad name. I will

351
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: call him Big Chest now for now, forevermore. Moving on,

352
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: another big name wide receiver in the market, potentially O'Dell

353
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Just signed that whopper of a deal last

354
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: year with the Giants. But you know, this all got

355
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: kicked around the Hornets nest got kicked when uh, in

356
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: a mail bag of some kind, Jay Glazer of Athletic

357
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: mentioned some you know he threw out, Oh yeah, what

358
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: if you know, if I had to make a crazy guess,

359
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: Odell gets traded and uh, now the reports start coming out.

360
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 1: For we hear that the Patriots went hard after Odell

361
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: Beckham last year before he signed that big deal with

362
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: the Giants, and also in the past year the Niners

363
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: they tried very hard to pursue the wide receiver. Which

364
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: none of this should come as a surprise. If Odell

365
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Is on the market, Uh, teams are going

366
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: to be interested. But let's see what happens next. This

367
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: This continues to be an interesting subplot as the draft approaches.

368
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: Gazer backed it up to this week in his new

369
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: mail bag Dan, which I read, and so he kind

370
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: of dove deeper into his reasoning and he basically said,

371
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: no one should be surprised that the Giants pretty publicly

372
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: were a little tired of Odell. That Pat Shermer is

373
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: the key to why he ended up getting that contract,

374
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: that he convinced ownership he could work with him, and

375
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: he did a pretty good job. And then they had

376
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: they had that sit down interview, and I think that

377
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: they would, you know, listen to off first. I still

378
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: don't see how it would make sense financially for them,

379
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: But when you hear the forty Niners were in on him,

380
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: it just makes me even more hyper aware to what

381
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: the forty Niners do this offseason. I just think they're

382
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: kind of one of the teams to watch that maybe O.

383
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: D B or Antonio Brownie. It's almost like one of

384
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: those guys gonna WHA what Mr Big Chester. It's not

385
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: can't just be Big Chest that's Mr Big either Big

386
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: Chester O d B. I think they'll end up in

387
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: San Francisco or San Francis is gonna just be making splashes, Donald,

388
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: I think that. I think they. I mean they tried

389
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: to in a way make splashes during their first off

390
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 1: season and that just a lot of that didn't work out.

391
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: But they're a team that I would put as a

392
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: target team to trade out of that number two spot,

393
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: pick up more leverage, and then you're almost you almost

394
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: have the necessary load to get Beckham or to trade

395
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: for Antonio. You could do trade out of the two spot,

396
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: right get you know, trade back to what ten twelve?

397
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: Use that spin that for Odell. I mean, there's a

398
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: lot to do. We trust Dave Gettleman to get this done,

399
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: a guy that we've praised on this podcast before but

400
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: hasn't had a great return, you know, to New York,

401
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: just in terms of the moves that they made. And

402
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: they just have an incredible amount of holes on their rosters.

403
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: They're a weird team. This is a lousy team. They

404
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: have holes at quarterback, at offensive line, at linebacker Landon Collins.

405
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: According to Josina, Anderson cleaned out his locker today and

406
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: said goodbye because he thinks he's not going to be around.

407
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: There are no discussions between player and team there right.

408
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about that because he seems like he

409
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: might get franchise tag. But there's there's a bad team.

410
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: Why should I believe the Giants are motivated to trade

411
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: O'Dell Beckham. This seems like, Hey, one of the most

412
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: talented players in the league. He there's some issues there

413
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, so other teams are trying to prey

414
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: on that. But I don't know that anything I've read

415
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: says that Giants want to get rid of About the

416
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: only thing we know from Gettleman is that in January,

417
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: like first or second, he basically said absolutely not, We're

418
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: not trading him. He was there to give him the deal.

419
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: But I think I think so many weirder things will

420
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: play out during any given off season. I wouldn't be

421
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: shocked if something happened if they were hit with the

422
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: deal that allowed the Giants to They're not. They're like

423
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: two star players away from being in a massive rebuild, right,

424
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: There's got to be there's some dock connecting essentially what

425
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: Greg's saying. They have so many holes to fill, and

426
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: here's Odell Beckham, a guy that would bring back I

427
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: am Men's value in a trade. Would if they decide

428
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: that they want to take that one player and try

429
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: to turn it into three. Maybe they do it. By

430
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: the way, you have three options, Mr Big Chest just

431
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: big chest or big chest brown BCP. You know he

432
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: doesn't say BC. It's not an option. Well, hey, I

433
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: don't have to listen to his request. It's not a request,

434
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: it's a It looks like I don't have to listen

435
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: to his demand. I mean, if not the story, I

436
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: just announced a new nickname for myself or any of

437
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: you going to follow suit and call me by that

438
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: if you're not, No, you won't. Yes, that's a rule.

439
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: If I'll come up with something, this is the nickname,

440
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it. Okay, moving on. Did you

441
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: call Kobe Bryant mambo? I'm a black mamba every time

442
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: I saw him. The black mom is going nuts again

443
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: following rigid set of rules when it comes to Nick

444
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: Dan walks around this office with the mom of mentality.

445
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: You can see it on his face. Absolutely so he

446
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: can destroy right, Ricky Hollywood, she came up with that,

447
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: that's what she goes by. I mean I didn't come

448
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: up not complicated. You didn't know I didn't nickname myself.

449
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean you made your Twitter profile, pushed it hard,

450
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: you've been pushing that. Who came up with it? It's

451
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: a long story. You know. We called it kay to

452
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: makeup and I didn't get it's worked. It works for you.

453
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: You know. It's another good nickname America. Yeah, let's say it.

454
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: Say it. I knew you were going to say it.

455
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to brother nickname. Your other

456
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: nickname tramp thirsty. It's a good one. Are you just

457
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: now referencing inside jokes on other podcast? I'm that's just

458
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: another How does that help? That's another nickname that's on

459
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: the table that people call him. This show is about

460
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: three months from being canceled. Rob Gronkowski, Is he playing again?

461
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: My goodness? We all want to know. He has an agent,

462
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhouse. He's successful. He said a decision on the

463
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: tight Ends future will come quote in the next couple

464
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: of weeks. I said that on ESPN's NFL Live program,

465
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: which is fine. I suppose, uh, he's thinking it through.

466
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: He's giving a lot of thought. I imagine a decision

467
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: will probably happen in the next couple of weeks. Um Mark,

468
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: we talked about this on Super Bowl Sunday. I always

469
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: felt this was gonna be leveraged from maximum juice by

470
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: team gronk Uh and whatever the decision will be, it

471
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: will come with a huge pr rollout. And we're still

472
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks away from that. I feel like

473
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back for a year. I just have

474
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: a hunch thought. I don't know why, I think the opposite,

475
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: just because if you're if you know in the next

476
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, to me, that would say you know

477
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: you're not coming back because you have months to decide

478
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: that if you wanted to and see where your body was.

479
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots want any I thought about that too,

480
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get hopeful like Dan. And then

481
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: I thought about the Patriots probably want an answer, you know,

482
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: because they need to make their plans before free agency.

483
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what I think now, But why how

484
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: about everything he said and everything we knew about this,

485
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: Like he was so strong in the camp of I'm

486
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: not coming back. Then your career wraps with a glorious

487
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: final drive and you win the Super Bowl. Why what

488
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: suddenly the mind shifts and all that has gone away,

489
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: and now you're Big Ben part two deciding you're just

490
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: gonna come back after treating us two months of drama.

491
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: On the network today, Garafolo Mike Garatfolo said he still

492
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: believes Gronk will retire and that that his people around him. Uh,

493
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, his teammates do do believe that. But he

494
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: also said he wasn't sure. Maybe that super Bowl juice

495
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: that he played really well in the playoffs, Uh, in

496
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: their last two games. It's just like kind of puts

497
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: you on a high and and makes you on a plague.

498
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: And I hope so. I know I've said on this podcast,

499
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: I was hoping Brady would retire, but uh, well you've

500
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: also said you don't want the Patriots to go to

501
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl next year. Well they've had enough. Yeah,

502
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: But I want I want Gronk. I want Gronk to

503
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: be keep playing. So I hope he comes back. I

504
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: get that he's a fun player to watch. He's been

505
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: a great uh Patriot. But I will say this one thing.

506
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: I if I'm the Patriots, yes I want an answer

507
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: just for internal purposes, planning purposes, but they should be

508
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: looking at the tight end position either way. At this point,

509
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: he's a beat up your tight end who can't stay

510
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: healthy anymore. Uh, we'll see what happens there. Uh. Speaking

511
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl, c J. Anderson was out talking

512
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: to people. Who was he talking to? Let me credit

513
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: the right person, FS one. He was on that network

514
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, Uh, and he made comments about his teammate

515
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, who apparently who was injured during the playoffs.

516
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: Here's what c J. Anderson said. He was more hurt

517
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: than we thought. The injury was a little bit more

518
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: than what everybody the building thought, including himself. Always I'm

519
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: reluctant to say, well, I say that from three thousand

520
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: miles away, it's hard for us to know what was

521
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: going on. To me, this was easy to know what

522
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: was going on. He was always more hurt than they

523
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: led on, and he could tell from watching and play.

524
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: He's a he's an offensive Player of the Year type

525
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: of guy who was splitting time with a guy they

526
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: just picked up off of the waiver wire. That's all

527
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: you need to really know. I mean, so we have

528
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: to go with the idea that Gurley essentially told nobody

529
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: how hurt he really was, because wise the team is

530
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: mismanaging injury information. I watched the interview and it was

531
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: clear C. J. Anderson didn't really have any extra information.

532
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: He just said he was battling through soreness, which like

533
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: every running back is in in January, that he had

534
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: no idea. That's not true. He said, man, maybe it

535
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: was a sprain. I don't really know he was that

536
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: he has the knee sprain, and C. J. Anderson, who

537
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: had knee surgery, said, once you have a knee, you

538
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: always have a knee. But he hasn't had surgery on

539
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: the knee. This was not the Todd Gurley that we

540
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: know no exactly. That's why it was so annoying during

541
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs that here everybody's saying, oh, he's fine, he's

542
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: been healthy for weeks. We're just working them back slowly.

543
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: And it was always so clear that he was hurt.

544
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: Don't give me this act next time. A lot of

545
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: players play through injuries and if they're out on the

546
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: field playing fifty snaps the game, which he was forty

547
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: to fifty, that it's like you, you generally don't talk

548
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: about it that much and and make that many excuses.

549
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: Why are you taking this tack like Todd Gurley is

550
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: some normal running back who just has a little bit

551
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: of soreness because it's January. He had a knee injury.

552
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: It was a pretty significant knee in durny, and he

553
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: was not the same player afterwards. I guess because he

554
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: had I guess because he was explosive on number of

555
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: on a number of runs where he looked good, but

556
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: not as explosive as he was before, and clearly not

557
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: his confidence. That's like you saying Cam Newton can still

558
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: throw it shorty yards down the field between the hashes,

559
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: when clearly he struggles at other parts. I think the

560
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: snap count also was to some degree a decoy for

561
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: whatever would happen each game after because you can't broadcast

562
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: that this guy is not the same guy and is

563
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: only out there one snap. They've tried to I mean,

564
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: Steve Weis. Steven was on our air today backing up

565
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: again saying that essentially was like, you know, he was

566
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: not limited in any way. He took every single practice

567
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: snap enough X Y, X, Y and Z. Actually, you

568
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: could have a couple of bad games games except that

569
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: he just doesn't do that, except for except for Sean McVeigh.

570
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: But we're but what we're talking about. Here's three games.

571
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: In one of them he had a hundred yards in

572
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: the in the because run and in the third one

573
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: he did what the rest of the team did, which

574
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: was stinking. But you're putting him in a group of

575
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: running back like he's a normal dude, like the Hammad Egger.

576
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: This is one of the greatest players in the league

577
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, well I'm talking about it.

578
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: You're right, it's just, you know what, I'm just mad

579
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: that the Saints weren't playing the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Instead,

580
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: we got the Rams and a gagging over himself Jared

581
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: Goff and they hurt Todd Gurley and a genius in

582
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh that had no idea what to do. I mean, yeah, CJ.

583
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: And said had no idea what to do in that

584
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: game either, which is you know, worth worth noting he

585
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: had been playing great before that. C J. Anderson, Well,

586
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't good in the title game either. C J.

587
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: Anderson ain't a patch on Todd Gurley's But give me

588
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: a break, Gross, I think had a great way to

589
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: end the conversation. But leave it. Let's leave it there.

590
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: Patch on the butt. Well, I'd use a different word,

591
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: but hey, last year we we made multiple visits to

592
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens nest. That's done what we're doing in nineteen

593
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: Hey boys, let's jump into the fish tank. Yes, ready

594
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: smells a little ranking here, get hit on a couple

595
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: of nuggets. First off report Danny Amondola if he to

596
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: remain in Miami, Ricky Hollywood, your thoughts come on back, baby?

597
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: You want him back in New England. You can see that.

598
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: I can see that he's coming back. Really hard to

599
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: predict that this would happen. Danny Avendola wanted done in Miami,

600
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: overpaid him that via the Miami Herald. Also Parker all

601
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: but gone. He's out of town. Former first round pick

602
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: that didn't work out. Man, They got a lot of

603
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: work to do with in Miami, rebuilding that entire offense.

604
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to try to report it

605
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: all this offseason. You don't know. I I think this

606
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: whole like organic tanking thing that brought brought, that came

607
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: up a couple of weeks ago, is exactly what they're doing.

608
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: It's just taking So it's gonna do that. It's gonna

609
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: be like a normal Dolphins offseason, except we're not gonna

610
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: go busy buying a bunch of old players. They're just

611
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: going to roll out what they hit well, I think

612
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: that's quite different. They've they've not every year, but they've

613
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: been the team that tries to make big splashing free

614
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: agency and you know, all April talk will probably be

615
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: better for it. There's no organic tanking that the coaches

616
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: are gonna fish tanking. Well, if you don't there is

617
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: the organic tanking. If you let a bunch of people

618
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: go and you bring no one of better quality to

619
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: fill their spots, it's like what where there's no pesticides

620
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: or like artificial ingredients and they're taking well or forget organic,

621
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: but I mean I think they're not. It's it's great

622
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. It's another team in the ANFC s.

623
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: It's essentially I think, given up on. But guess what,

624
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: there is one good thing happening in the fish tank

625
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: right now. The sugar bad just jumped in. Whoo. Miami

626
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: has hired former Raiders GM Reggie mackenzie as a senior

627
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: personnel executive. Rap Sheet reported Saturday. Oh yeah, fifteen years

628
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: of personnel experience, fifty six years old, former NFL linebacker,

629
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: eight years in Green Bay as director and player personnel

630
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: GM of the Oakland Raiders two thousand twelve seven years there.

631
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: Now he's in the tank. I think if you're a

632
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins fan, I like the staff that Brian Flores has

633
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: brought together, and I like the simplicity of the way

634
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: they change their front office. Relatively, this plan feels a

635
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: little like less fraud for you know, us set up

636
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: for clashing than some of their previous ones. Just gonna

637
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: take a long time to bear fruit my um or

638
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: like those little fish that they feed the dolphins, like

639
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: the tiny ones, Yeah, take them out of the pail.

640
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: I feel like my initial feeling is that people aren't

641
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: excited about the fish tank, like you guys love the

642
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: Ravens Nest and now you're you're a little, uh, I

643
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: don't know, on the fence or not thrilled. Kind of

644
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: like lassid Erica scenario that you're dealing with that we

645
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: were very attached to Ravens Nest. Um, I would Ravens

646
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: Nest were nuked, you know, potentially, But what if the

647
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: dolphins just did, like one thing ever to be interesting, right? Well,

648
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: I think fish Tank is a were at a starting

649
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: point to try to drum up interest in the franchise.

650
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: You were saying, you were saying that we didn't cover

651
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: like the Ravens nest was because we didn't cover them enough.

652
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: People were complaining. I feel the same way about Miami.

653
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they get a lot of love. I

654
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: feel like guys they're in the a f C East

655
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: that they just get kind of into the just ever

656
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: do anything right, so they don't get good public bad news.

657
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: Guys already built a drop, so it's the fish, all right,

658
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: Well good, we should every team should have their own

659
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: drop that wouldn't get annoying at all. Um. And finally,

660
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: in the news, the Bengals still don't have a defensive coordinator.

661
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the news. What day we at?

662
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: What day in the off season are we now? Should

663
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: there be a counter? I mean, the Super Bowl was

664
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: win February second, so we're eighteen days and their season

665
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: ended win January December thirty one. They they you know

666
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: what we gotta do. They have to wait for Zach Taylor.

667
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: Let's figure out when, um, Zach Teller was hired, and

668
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: then we'll start the day count from that moment. Hey,

669
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: look the cool tired Matt Eberflus before they hired Frank Reich.

670
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's possible to hire defensive It's possible that

671
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: Lou and a Rumo who there reportedly zero in in on.

672
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: Now that's a real name, zero in on Lou. He's

673
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: a Giants defensive back coach and uh Tom Pellacea Billy

674
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: as he may be the guy. Just wait till he

675
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: flies to Cincinnati FORI interview. Things go sour. What's that

676
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: step inside the facility? It seems something's going on in

677
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: that interview process. All right, let's move on. Are you

696
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: an opportunity, We don't do enough to reach out to

697
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: the listeners. Here's something pretty special. What I mean if

698
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: if you're a football fan and nobody knows the draft

699
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: process better than DJ. A former UH college player and

700
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: Appalachian State he played quarterback, a guy that scouted for years,

701
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: was working behind the scenes of teams. Now one of

702
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: the top dudes in the game as an analyst. A

703
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: rare experience. We're at Move the Sticks hashtag dining with DJ.

704
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: That's as close to two just like a regular guy.

705
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't put on airs. You know you

706
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: want to talk padres with him. He can do that.

707
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: He'll help win at leave too. So you really want

708
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: to get into a lot of dialogue would be good

709
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: with him. And if you don't hear from him, don't

710
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: feel like you shouldn't send another because maybe he misses

711
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: it or another or another. All right, now, free agency

712
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: less than a month away. Hopefully when it happens, since

713
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: and I will have a defensive coordinator. We don't know,

714
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: we'll find out. But right now we're gonna talk about

715
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: some fun logical fits. And you guess what Mark wrote

716
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: A banger check it out NFL dot com slash cessler.

717
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: One of those two part jobs. Or it's like if

718
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: I knock out um a big piece, they cut it

719
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: in two and once I finished the work, I could

720
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: take four to five days off. Essentially, That's how I

721
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: view it, right, I mean, they normally use this piece

722
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: as like a two writer combo, or at least in

723
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: the past, and this time they just said you do it,

724
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: but waiting for the five days off? Was this on

725
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: Greg's list of columns. I don't think No, I don't

726
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: think I adhim it. I don't think I told you that.

727
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: That's not how I offered, not trying to swipe content

728
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: away from others. Of the most part, all right, get

729
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: us gone. Since you wrote the banger NFL dot Com

730
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: slash Sessler too Parter, give us one the one that I,

731
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: um that I can just see happening visually. Maybe you

732
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: guys will disagree. Is Golden Tate to the Patriots? They

733
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: have nothing at wide receiver right now. Josh Gordon's in

734
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: the wilderness. You have Julian Edelman. You have guys like

735
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: Braxton Barrios and Cody Hollister and Darren Andrews on the

736
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: roster right now. Aaron Andrews maybe a relation, I don't

737
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't believe. So now it's Darren so I for me,

738
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: Golden Tate. Um. You know the Patriots, they seem to

739
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: really favor highly intelligent, versatile wide receivers. Tate still to me,

740
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: right in their Super Bowl window would be an interesting addition.

741
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: And I think the Tate that Golden Tate is someone

742
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: that I could just like a visualize leading them to

743
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: like a massive game winning drive in the a f

744
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: C Title game. And then you get two weeks of

745
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: like you were with them with the Seahawks, but now

746
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: you're here in New England and like he's gonna win

747
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl And is the wint with you that

748
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: I could see it. I could picture him with the

749
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: uniform and winning games. Is he a little duplicative with

750
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, That's what I would say, Like I think

751
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: of anyone in the league, he is the most like

752
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman and skill set. I think that's true. But

753
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: he's he's three years younger and having multiple slot receivers

754
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: has not stopped them before. In fact, it's, you know,

755
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: been I think a strength of their offense. So I

756
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: think he does. He does fit with with Edelman. Put

757
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: him put them both out there. He didn't. It should

758
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: be stated that he did not do a hell of

759
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: a lot and Phil you did have the game winning

760
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: catch in the playoffs, but it wasn't like he gave

761
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: that offensive shot of the arm. Now eight yards and

762
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: eight games there. I wonder how much is of that

763
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 1: is on him, because it's not like he's slowed down

764
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: in Detroit to become a nonentity. But it's a very

765
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: thin wide receiver group, so he's gonna get paid it.

766
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: Usually that's like the one position where it's very easy

767
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: to find guys and maybe there'll be some cuts and antony.

768
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: You know, there's some possible trades, but there's not. He's

769
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 1: the best free agent receiver I think by a decent amount.

770
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: Is Josh Gordon still on the Patriots. He's on the Patriots,

771
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: but he's suspended in definitely Okay West, give us one.

772
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: Texans need speed running back and a passing down back.

773
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: I would like to see Tevin Coleman from the Falcons

774
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: end up in Houston to give that offense somebody who

775
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: compliments to Shaun Watson and when Will Fuller comes back,

776
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: compliments his speed as well. But get somebody who can

777
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: get on the edges and stress defenses from the perimeter.

778
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: I think Tevin Coleman will be perfect for that in Houston.

779
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: I like it. I think they need They know that

780
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: they need people to take attention away from Watson and Hopkins.

781
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: It's just crazy how then, how top heavy that offense is.

782
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: I think that would make a lot of sense, just

783
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: be like a Burner team. I guess you guys missed

784
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: h Lamar Miller on Thursday Night Football. I think they're

785
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: gonna cut Lamar Miller finally, going back to that fishing hole.

786
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: Is he a free agent? I don't think so, No,

787
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: I think, but he's been mentioned as a cut candidate. Yeah,

788
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: at some point Yeah, I don't know if they don't

789
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: have any running backs though, and he's like, you know,

790
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: still okay. I read UM. I believe it was on

791
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 1: uh S I one of their writer's position Tevin Coleman

792
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: as a better Fridgent option than Levy on Bell. I

793
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: think Andy Bennoit wrote that article. Hey, by the way,

794
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman had some chances to be the guy this year.

795
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: He was fine. I think he's a good player. He's

796
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: not your your only back. He's a guy that you

797
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: want to have another guy with. You have to be

798
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: insane to say he's better than Bell. But maybe from

799
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: a like a money side of it, if you get

800
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: a seventy or sixty of Levy on Bell and you're

801
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: not blowing your cap for him saying to be insane,

802
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: I think some coaches who run his own blocking scheme

803
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: would look at Tevin Coleman and say, that's exactly what

804
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: I need on UM, I'll bring up Levy on Bell.

805
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: You know I'm a Jets man. You guys aware of that.

806
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: You gotta start somewhere with with that offense. And for

807
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: the first time and forever, there's somebody behind center that

808
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people feel good about, including myself.

809
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: But they need to rebuild the offensive line and they

810
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: need a running back. Um, so the old line, good

811
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: luck with that. You've got a ton of money of

812
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars in cap space and you got

813
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: the draft. Uh, let's see if you can prove that.

814
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 1: But absolutely, Sam Donald could use somebody he could trust

815
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Last year was kind of a mess.

816
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: Isaiah crow l outside that one yard game disappeared. Bill

817
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 1: a Pal suffered a neck injury that I believe could

818
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: be a career threatening. Uh. And he's a free agent anyway.

819
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: So levy On Bell wants a lot of money. It's

820
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: why he held out from the Steelers. The Jets can

821
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: give him that money, and the Jets add a piece.

822
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: They can't do this all at once, but it's gotta

823
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: be one of the time. Their wide receiver group is okay,

824
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: they could use some help there. The offensive line is bad.

825
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: They need to rebuild that. The backfield not good. Fill

826
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 1: in one spot at a time. Levy On Bell twenty

827
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: six years old. He could be part of the future

828
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: of the j I know this is a ridiculous dream scenario,

829
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: but what if they went total like Violent Coudeta and

830
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: signed Bell and then traded for Antonio Brown, And it

831
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: was essentially like we used to have those um highly

832
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: tedious like Jets West workout sessions about like Pittsburgh a

833
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: little bit more East. I mean, they have a roster

834
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: need and they have the money. But as I've said

835
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: on the show, I do not want Antonio Brown anywhere

836
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: near Sam Darnald, My beautiful precious Sam cannot deal with

837
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 1: a man like Antonio Brown. No, no quarterback. I could

838
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: see you warming up to that if they If they

839
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: acquired him, though, that would be a great signing. They

840
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: have so much cap room, is so overrated, He's he's

841
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: going to be a fine value compared to other top

842
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: tier free agents, certainly ones. It's one of those moves

843
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: that's almost too easy, but it actually think it makes

844
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: them much better and it totally makes sense for who

845
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: they are. I just you know, if your Bell, you're

846
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: a little worried about how totally up in the air

847
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: that entire offensive line is, but you're just gonna have

848
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: to trust that I'm gaze to figure it out and

849
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: you and you hope it's like the Colts, how quickly

850
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: things can turn around at the line. Maybe they can

851
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: catch lightning a bottle as well, But yeah, do I

852
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 1: want to You can get crazy about Bell and be like, listen,

853
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: he's a Hall of famer, he has a chance to

854
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: be a Hall of Fame. He's a whole year and

855
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: he had knee issues in the past, and that's all fair.

856
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: But what if in this funny money or the NFL,

857
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: I'd much rather throw money at a guy like Bell

858
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: than give Greg Robinson the third biggest contract for a

859
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: left tackle in football, which is the type of stuff

860
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: that happens when teams need to spend money if they

861
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: don't have Kelvin Beacham is making ten million dollars for

862
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: the Jets. It's like what you can't pay ten for

863
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: for Bell, who, by the way, just turned twenty seven

864
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 1: a day before our birthday. There you go Chris Westleying,

865
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: so it's like he's twenty seven years old and he

866
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: had like a Hall of fame. I do need those

867
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: Jets uniforms. I need them to be on point because

868
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a lot of prime time jets with

869
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: Donald and if they land Bell, I just I need

870
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: I needed a new fresh look. And you're not going

871
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: to get a lot of prime time Jets even if

872
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: they get since when have they have been on of

873
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 1: time a lot? Since? Will get a few. Calvin Beachum

874
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: is one of the nicest guys in the NFL. Greg,

875
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: come on, they'll take shots at Kelvin Beach's. Look, how

876
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: is it? Do you think he's been a great addition

877
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: to their teams? I think he's perennially underrated. He's all

878
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: you don't worry about the position when he's there. I

879
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: this is what fun free agency fits, right. I just

880
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: enjoyed West standing for Kelvin Beach in there. I enjoyed it.

881
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: He's an incredibly nice man to a big man that

882
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: can move. This is why you don't want to get

883
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: too close to the people you know you're ranking on

884
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: that top hundred list. Gets emotional contact of civil war

885
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: between West and Greg over Kelvin. Well, no, he's still

886
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: on the Jets. So unless they cut him, which they might,

887
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: fun free agency fits. What would be more fun to

888
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 1: me than Nick Foles with the Giants? And I think,

889
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: I think, and I think this is the move that

890
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: the Eagles are worried about, and the way that the

891
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: Eagles and the foals. Thing is happening to me is

892
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: a little under the radar, and it stinks just a

893
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: little bit. You're not supposed to trade guys with the

894
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: franchise tag. They were hoping that maybe when they put

895
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: the option on his contract, uh, that they would have

896
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of wiggle room to trade him under

897
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: that old contract. You know what he did, He responded

898
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: within an hour and and did the thing and and

899
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 1: bought his free freedom. I mean, he won a Super

900
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: Bowl m v P for you being vastly underpaid and

901
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: you made the guy pay two million dollars to become

902
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: a free agent. Okay, it's just business. Well what's also business?

903
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: How about Nick Foles makes it very clear he's not

904
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: signing any contract with any team they trade him to,

905
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: and that he's not helping them in any trade, and

906
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: that they can do they can try to do whatever

907
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: they want, but he's gonna bring up a challenge with

908
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: the c b A because it's potentially against CBA rules,

909
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: and then he's not helping them at all because that's

910
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: gonna hurt his value, you know it, Whether if it's

911
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the Giants maybe bidding on him, or

912
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,479
Speaker 1: if it's just one team, he can make more money.

913
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: This is gonna be his time to be a free agent.

914
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: And if you're so afraid that Nick Foles is gonna

915
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: beat you, then pay him the money he's worth and

916
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: make him your quarterback. He's on your team, but you're

917
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: choosing that you don't want him, so deal with it.

918
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: And I think the Giants in Pat Shermer nick Foles

919
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: would be a nice little combo and managed spice up

920
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: that NFC East. One question for you, if you're Nick Foles,

921
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: where do you think you can succeed faster with the

922
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: with a weird Giants ross or with with the Jaguars

923
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: in the a f C cell really good point in question,

924
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: I would say the Jaguars. Well, I think your point

925
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: is taken that if Nick Foles reaches the open market,

926
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: he can have multiple teams involved. But if the Eagles

927
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: control of services, they can say I'm not trading you

928
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: to the NFC East, which takes out Giants and Redskins

929
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,240
Speaker 1: and leaves Nick Foles, basically saying it's either Jaguars or bust.

930
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: So it's you're right, it's not fair. Well, yeah, why

931
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: why is he in the position to have to help them.

932
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean, a two million dollars back that even seems

933
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: it's like if ever there was a time where it's

934
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: just like, you know, go on your right, and you

935
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: know what, I'm sensing there's a little bit of movement

936
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: here that they realize this might be hard, and they

937
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: might and I think there's if I had to guess,

938
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: I think they will let him be a free agent

939
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: and go on his way, at least I hope. So

940
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: I love, I love Nick Foles and what he did,

941
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: but should the Eagles live in constant fear the Nick

942
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: Foles It's gonna be the scoring back of all time

943
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: and go to the Giants and turn into Tom Brady. So, like,

944
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: I get it. Everyone everyone's worried about their jobs, and

945
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: it's like that is the worst case scenario as Nick

946
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: Foles suddenly like starts beating you up. And come on,

947
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he had an amazing playoff run and he

948
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: was pretty good this year too, But to act like

949
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles would never recover if you signed in the

950
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: NFC East, I mean, let's bring it down a little

951
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: bit and if there's a guy to give a little

952
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: consideration too, I mean, Nick Foles, let a Beach in

953
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: a couple of division games over the over five years

954
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: or something. Who cares got to the Bowl. Nobody calls

955
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: it that Lombardi. People say he won you a super Bowl. Anyway,

956
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: let's do one more quick round because we got it.

957
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: We got some birthday stuff to handle. That's more wow. Yeah,

958
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: I'll be quick. I I think the Cults who have

959
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: the most capitom in the league. Uh. And I know

960
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: that under Chris Baller they have not um really been

961
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: big spenders. And there's a lot of like reason to

962
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: like the way that he's built the team to the draft,

963
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: but maybe you've got to spend a little bit of

964
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: money this time around, work on that defense, which you

965
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: know has largely been a non name defense but overachieved.

966
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: How about you bring the Dominican Sue in and have

967
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: him playing like eight feet away from Darius Leonard and

968
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: just blow people up week after week. Try running on

969
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: that team. Well, my response to that would be, is

970
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: in Dominican Sue better than Margus Hunt at this stage

971
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: of their careers. I think so Marguts Hunt had a

972
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: much better year than in Dominican Sue did this year,

973
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: and we know he's a fit for Mattterberfluss defense. We don't,

974
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: but they're basically playing the same position these days. I

975
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: think Hunt played a lot of nose tackle at the

976
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,479
Speaker 1: end of the year to his playoff rund definitely helps

977
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: his value because I think in those two games you

978
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: sat in the in the NFC playoffs, you saw a

979
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: real difference maker than Marcus Hunt. More made more place

980
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: in September than Soon made all year. Wes, let's stick

981
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: with the Colts. I was gonna say Landing Collins, you know,

982
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: with the report that he's cleaning in his locker room

983
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: and that's now being disputed, are disputed by multiple New

984
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: York papers. But the cold speat writers just cleaning, that's all.

985
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 1: Could speat writers are all in unison that have Landing

986
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: Collins makes it to the market. The cults are going

987
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: after him. But here's another guy. I really like Adam Humphries,

988
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: the Bucks slot receivers, the agent. I like him a lot.

989
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: I think talked about Golden Tape being similar to Edelman,

990
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: but Adam Humphries toughness and run after catchability is like

991
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: Edelman light and I think he'd be a great fit

992
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: for the Colts. He's a chain mover in the middle

993
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: of the field. They really needed a slot receiver last

994
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: year and didn't have a good one. Jameis Winston loves

995
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: that guy. It's like Deshan Jackson has always pissed because

996
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: whenever he comes, you know, whenever Jamis is playing, it's

997
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: like he doesn't get any targets that Adam Humphries gets

998
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 1: them all. Hum Freeze is incredibly tough and he's good

999
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: after the catch. He's like a punt returner after the catch.

1000
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a big pick up for somebody.

1001
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: Um Teddy Bridgewater, I feel like we talked about this

1002
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: last week, is a little less buzz around him. And

1003
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 1: is it because of one game in in a week

1004
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: seventeen that didn't matter. Maybe I don't know, but I'm

1005
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: still excited about the possibility of him having a team again.

1006
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: And so why not send him to Hell, I don't know, Washington,

1007
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: a place where he won't have to r he won't

1008
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: have to battle for a job, and let him get

1009
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: a chance to actually now after waiting it out on

1010
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: the sideline for essentially three years, UH to start sixteen

1011
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: games if you can stay healthy and UH, give Washington

1012
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: another option at quarterback a franchise that is obviously in

1013
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: a very tough way right now. It's interesting that he

1014
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: came into the league with comparisons to Andy Dalton, who

1015
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: j Gruden hand picked with the Bengals. Yeah, I think

1016
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: that'd be I mean it's tough Teddy Bridgewater. At this point,

1017
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be able to just like join some

1018
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender. I mean, maybe the Jaguars would be

1019
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: a nice a nice fit for him. It's gonna be

1020
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: an uphill bat, but I think Jay Gruden does a

1021
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 1: good job with quarterbacks. That'd be nice. I think they're

1022
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: going to draft a quarterback to one more. I'm gonna

1023
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw justin Houston, even though he's not released

1024
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: yet by the cheating just prochect Jeeter acting that he's

1025
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent in the Los Angeles Rams

1026
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: pick them up. I think they're gonna be making big

1027
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: moves in general. I don't people, you know, they they've

1028
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: spent a lot of money. Their window is closing that

1029
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: whatever they are gonna be making big swings. And I

1030
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: think he would make a lot of sense on that

1031
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: defensive line where they're about to lose. I totally. I think, uh,

1032
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: you nailed it. I think they got a lot of

1033
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,720
Speaker 1: love in the off season about unless Need and company

1034
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: for being active and going for it, and it almost

1035
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 1: got them, got them to the super Bowl. At least.

1036
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 1: They're thirsty. They love the headlines. They're gonna be active again,

1037
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: and they need an end. I mean they need a

1038
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: guy at his position because because I don't think they're

1039
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 1: gonna be able to deep Dante Fowler. Um, alright, good

1040
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: talk to guys. Then read that Mark Seessler double banger banger,

1041
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: But but but but but bang. I mean, if you

1042
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 1: prioritized correctly, if you've other things to do, you don't

1043
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: need to all right, So let's circle back to the

1044
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: birthday conversation. Greg turned forty on Tuesday, West forty five, Um,

1045
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: before we sign off, I think Greg forty is the

1046
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,959
Speaker 1: big one. Forty is a huge one, and West West,

1047
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: it's his birthday. That's a nice ground's celebrating. Like a

1048
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: year ago at this time, he was still you know,

1049
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: getting over the after effects and he enjoyed this. Oh,

1050
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: let's take nothing away from West's birthday, but no one

1051
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: talks about forty is a big one. So we're going

1052
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: to um use our combined powers in the room here, Um,

1053
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 1: people that are below forty, people that are over forty.

1054
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: Let's start with over forty crowd. Letting Greg know what

1055
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: he can expect now that he's reached his forties. Well,

1056
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: I would say, you and your body have been going

1057
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: through life like Don Yxote and Sancho Panza, like you're

1058
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: a night errand and your body as your squire, and

1059
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: you're you're fighting all these battles together. You're on the

1060
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: same side. He turned party and your body is an

1061
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: open rebellion against your Pancho Sanja. You wake up in

1062
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: the morning and you gotta steer sticking out sticking out

1063
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: of your shoulder looks like, um, a bunch of trolls

1064
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,240
Speaker 1: have taken a club to the back of your knees.

1065
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 1: You just wake up one more. It don't work anymore,

1066
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,879
Speaker 1: like your shoulder. It's like that's just how it's gonna

1067
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: be the rest of your life. You're throwing shoulders gone. Um,

1068
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: the open rebellion just keeps going until one day you're

1069
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: poisoned and like Sancho Panza and you hate each other.

1070
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: And it was a glorious ride through forty years. But

1071
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: now the rebellion is going to be there for the

1072
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: rest of your life. Your body is no longer your

1073
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: friend because your enemy, and he's living amongst you. And

1074
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: was it even that greater ride? I mean, my body

1075
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: couldn't I wanted more? But I do see it's on

1076
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: the deep decline. H mark. All right. Now that you're

1077
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: in your forties, Greg, you will in the coming months

1078
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,800
Speaker 1: feeling on toward attraction for show tunes. Your heart and

1079
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: mind will tractor beam towards the music of big stage shows,

1080
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: vaudeville and Broadway. Your house will be filled with the

1081
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: sounds of theater based Americana songs like Suddenly Seymour. Our

1082
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: state Fair is a great state Fair, deep cuts from

1083
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 1: My Fair Lady and Annie's. We'd like to thank you,

1084
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: Herbert Hoover. Just give in, Greg and fall in love

1085
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: with Broadway all over again. It's over, Well, I would

1086
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: all over again? When did I ever? Uh? Not really

1087
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: a show tune guy, but well that that would come

1088
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: in handy, because one thing that happens in your forties

1089
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: is that nobody gives a crap at all what you

1090
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,280
Speaker 1: think about music or pop culture or movies or anything.

1091
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: You're just your opinion no longer matters any That's always

1092
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 1: on West's right. It just doesn't matter. People do not.

1093
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: They just they pat you on the head, assume you're

1094
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: old and that you have nothing contribute to society, because

1095
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: society never looks past ten years in the past. Well

1096
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: it's a yeah. It's always a confusing take by West

1097
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: because you also say that you essentially don't listen to

1098
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: the music, or I do listen to music. I'm just

1099
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: not a slave to pop culture. I listened to the

1100
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: music I want to find, not the music that the

1101
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 1: industry imposes on me. All right, West, you're up, He

1102
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: went already again. Well I could you know? No, No,

1103
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: that's fine, I just we we didn't talk about it.

1104
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: Get get ready for square dancing? What are you talking about? Look,

1105
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: you know I said before that one of the great

1106
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: things is you get to cut people out of your

1107
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: life if you if they're not contributing anything. Saved. But

1108
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: here I started that early. But here's the flip side

1109
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 1: to that. Once you know your circle is smaller, once

1110
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 1: you get into your forties, you have to find hobbies

1111
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: and things to do. And this is how people get

1112
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: into things like square dancing. They're like, oh, Chuck, you

1113
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: want to go to the square dance? We got nothing else? Yeah,

1114
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 1: you can have that's never happening, Mark you another one?

1115
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, So the forties bring about change in

1116
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: one social life. Um, I can tell you that. No

1117
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 1: more waking up at four two am on the floor

1118
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: of an Elmont cocaine den twenty four miles out from

1119
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: Culver City. The room is littered with dozing, crashed out

1120
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,479
Speaker 1: millennials and one older man you remember from the night before,

1121
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: a man who called himself Mr Elephant. Mr Elephant was

1122
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: the one who gave you that pill. It was still

1123
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: light out and you were on the phone with Emmica

1124
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: promising you'd pick up a carton of two percent milk

1125
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: on the way home. Then there's the memory of skipping

1126
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: through a nighttime field with the young woman named Gianna,

1127
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: dressed up like a hot bumblebee. I belonged to Mr Elephant.

1128
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: Gianna tells you, with tears in her eyes. But you

1129
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: could steal me away if you wanted to, Greg steal

1130
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: me away from Mr Elephant. No more of those nights.

1131
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Like what when I throw out like

1132
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: an idea to the guys, like let's do this. It

1133
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: always ends up with the same exact thing from Mark,

1134
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: some story that maybe tangently like tangentially and connected to

1135
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: what we're doing. I just look at the forty year

1136
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: old me and the forty year Greg. I'm not sure

1137
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: where the connection parts are. Fantasy. I would love to

1138
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: be with the Bumblebee Gianna too in the field. I mean,

1139
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: that's sounds like fun. I think I can do that

1140
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: any I'll give you one more um and that's all

1141
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: I have for you. In your forties, you start to

1142
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: care less about what people think. I think West pointed

1143
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: to that somehow, even less than you already do. It

1144
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: becomes easier to unplug from group drama, and you become

1145
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: less inclined to send late night text to friends, kind

1146
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: of like what you've sent me eight nights ago at

1147
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: two am, writing in all caps, Greg, Hey, what up,

1148
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: brose If I'm just sitting in my kitchen staring out

1149
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: the window at the raucous highway, I've just grilled myself

1150
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: a steak slice from the belly of a grass fed cow.

1151
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: I've been trying on Mascara's in front of the bathroom

1152
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: mirror and kind of just letting myself go a bit.

1153
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: I feel free. What up with you? I can't do

1154
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: that anymore. Sound enough with that? That sounds like a

1155
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I'm gonna miss it. And now that

1156
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm the only person in the thirties in this room,

1157
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: I have to let you know. You turn what thirty

1158
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: nine this year? Uh? Yeah, I turned thirty one in April,

1159
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: so I got a lot of time ahead of me. Okay, Um,

1160
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: things that you have to, you know, say goodbye to.

1161
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: It's time to let go of certain things now that

1162
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: you're in your forties. Uh, reading in bed without your peepers,

1163
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need those. That's construe pressed by opa. Um.

1164
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine on that front. I got glasses, but yeah,

1165
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: not the bun gotta get those peepers. Trans fats, you

1166
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: gotta think about him. I don't know what. I don't

1167
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: know what they are either. Uh. Any compulsive behavior slash addictions, gambling, smoking, uh,

1168
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: select internet habits. I just gotta cut them out. I

1169
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: canna show you that that's not particularly true my advice. Yeah,

1170
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: there's a fine line between addictions and hobbies. That's true.

1171
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: You gotta say goodbye to the making the Leap series

1172
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: it's time time tell Alie that he's trying to sell it.

1173
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: Peter pan Uh, this is the last two are gonna hurt. Uh,

1174
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: So I saved them. Uh. You love live music, So

1175
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: you have to say goodbye to concerts on school nights.

1176
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: You're just too old. Your body will not um react

1177
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: well the next day will hurt your performance on the

1178
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: podcast or as a columnist on the NFL media Um site.

1179
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: So goodbye to concerts on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

1180
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: That's disappointing. I've just sort of gotten over mentally being

1181
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: the old guy at the concert that I'm like, Okay,

1182
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. But I guess that's why you're

1183
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 1: the only guy left. Because once you hit forty those

1184
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: people Friday or Saturday. If if your favorite artist doesn't

1185
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: come to town on Friday or Saturday, you don't see him. Okay,

1186
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Dan, we were planning to go to a

1187
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: ray of last off season and I thought again, this

1188
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: so right, Well, sometimes it doesn't bother you to be

1189
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: the oldest person in a venue. West you have a

1190
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: good mindset on things, and but sometimes it really sometimes

1191
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: it finally, and this is the one that's gonna really

1192
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: hurt Greg. Now that you're forty, it's starting to say

1193
01:00:54,080 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 1: goodbye to rap. So music like this, you know longer

1194
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: can enjoy because the old wife. This is wrap. This

1195
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: sounds like the soundtrack to like a late eighties. This

1196
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: is a ridiculous statement. First of all, I like a

1197
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: lot more than just rap. Listen to that music, but

1198
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: you think about it to run. But as as our generation,

1199
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: we're gen X right where the gen X kind of

1200
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: as we ate yourself, I'm younger, I mean, hip hop

1201
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 1: is the dominant musical form everyone everyone caught up to.

1202
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: So as as as the people like myself age like

1203
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: that's there's old these stations with rap. You don't have

1204
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: to give it up. It's not an age thing. You

1205
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: gotta give up the rate? What are you don't still

1206
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: listen to the radio they did a lot of time.

1207
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: It's funny. I was in the uber in Atlanta, in

1208
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: an uber in Atlanta and a classic hip hop station

1209
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: was on, And it is funny how we've gotten to

1210
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: the age now where there was classic rock stations when

1211
