The Colin Coward Podcast 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: presented by the Fan Duel Sports Book. Hi, everybody, Welcome 12 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: in to the Friday edition of The Colin Coward Podcast. 13 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: Chad Millman. The betting lines moving with the Baker Mayfield 14 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: acquisition by Carolina and other bets and odds to look at. 15 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: Week one lines are out, but we start with fake questions, 16 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: real answers. There's things I want to talk about but 17 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: don't want to wait for you to ask me. Dear Colin, 18 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: what do you think of Draymond Greene defending Kevin Durant 19 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: from the critics who say he's running from the nets? Well, 20 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: he is running from the Nets. I think where people 21 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: have a problem is here. It's not mobility which drives 22 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: people crazy. We understand that because most Americans have changed jobs. 23 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: What bothers fans where the disconnect lies is that Kevin 24 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: Durant just signed a four year deal and is walking 25 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: out and the business slash the Brooklyn Nets are pretty screwed. 26 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: People resent that, not only Brooklyn fans, but most Americans 27 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: could not do that. They would get sued, They'd be 28 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: unable to do that. I don't think Americans resent players 29 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: making a lot of money. I don't think players resent mobility, 30 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: but walking out with four years left on a contract 31 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: doesn't sit well frankly with me. I don't like players 32 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: walking out four years early. But then again, I'm defending 33 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: KD because they shouldn't ever left Golden State in the 34 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: first place. Dear Colin, Zion Williamson signs with the Pelicans, 35 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: and he said his real goal is doing a championship. 36 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Do you believe him? Well, no, by signing the most 37 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: money available, his real goal is to get financially comfortable. 38 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: And that's where I'll defend Zion Williamson. Zion Williamson signed 39 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: a contract that's going to guarantee him about two hundred 40 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: and forty million dollars if he were to get injured 41 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: just one more time, and let's talk about maybe an 42 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: injury that takes out half the season, not the entire season, 43 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: half the season. He would never get a big guaranteed 44 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 1: contract for the rest of his career. I understand players 45 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: taking that first contract. The way the NBA CBA works, 46 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: the players can make their most money resigning with the 47 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: team that drafted them. I didn't think Zion had a 48 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: chance to be a historical outlier because of a shoe 49 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: deal that he didn't really fit in a football city 50 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: and he'd move on. But once he had multiple injuries, 51 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: Zion has to sign with the Pelicans. He is a 52 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: nasty knee sprain from not being able to accumulate generational wealth. 53 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: In this case, the kid is right. It's not about 54 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: championships today. It's about getting that first massive deal that 55 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: change your life and everybody in your family's life. Dear Colin, 56 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: did you see Aaron Rodgers new tattoo? The internet is 57 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: buzzing about it. What did you make of it? Well, 58 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: it's cryptic. We're not sure what it is or what 59 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: Aaron's trying to say. So it's perfectly on brand, because 60 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: that's how I feel about Aaron Rodgers. He talks cryptically, 61 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: and he's calculated, and he's passive aggressive. Listen, Aaron is 62 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: a guy that likes to say things and leave us 63 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: all hanging right, like he's got the magic key to 64 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: unlock the answer box. And that's what this tattoo is. 65 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: Nobody can figure out what the fuck it is, and 66 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: nobody can quite figure out what the hell Aaron Rodgers 67 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: is ever really truly thinking I'm going to retire. Maybe 68 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: I don't retire. I could play a year, I could 69 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: play three years. That Aaron Rodgers tattoo looks like a 70 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving Instagram post. Aaron is in a constant race 71 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: to show you how unique and different he is. God 72 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: was that tattoo projecting one oh one? Dear Colin, do 73 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: you think Baker Mayfield, now that he's with Lousy Carolina 74 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: will stop being a hot button topic? Baker Mayfield was 75 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: never a hot button topic except on my show. Russell 76 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: Westbrook's really not that much of a hot button topic 77 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: other than maybe my show and Skip Bayliss's show. Listen, 78 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield was a reach. But ninety percent of the 79 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: people that cover the NFL and that cover college football 80 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: thought Baker was going to be a huge hit. I 81 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: was the outlier. He looks small on athletic too, snark Kaki. 82 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: I just didn't think he had number one pick stuff. 83 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: So he really was never a driving ratings topic on 84 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: any show other than mine because I didn't buy into 85 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: the college football people or the NFL experts who said 86 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: he was going to be a great quarterback. Through fifty 87 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: nine games in his NFL career, He's twenty nine and thirty. 88 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: Even in his two years with Kevin Stefanski. I'll take 89 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: out the Freddy Kitchens years. I'll take out the Greg 90 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: Williams year. I'll take that stuff out. Just in the 91 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski years. He's a C plus quarterback. And that's 92 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: with the best offensive line in the NFL in Cleveland 93 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: the last two years. Dear Colin, more rumors about the 94 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: changing landscape in college football, the SEC may poach a 95 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: couple of ACC teams. What do you make of it? 96 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: What I make of it is is it's really discouraging 97 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: to watch the American political and sports media overreact to 98 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: virtually everything. Two teams left the Pac twelve conference it 99 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: now has ten teams. Two teams joined another conference. It's 100 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: not the Pac two. It was the Pac twelve. And 101 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: of those remaining ten teams, it's quite possible eight will 102 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: join the Big twelve and will form another very good conference. Folks, Yes, 103 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: Oregon State and Washington State may be left out in 104 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: the cold. I'd argue, wouldn't Washington State and Oregon State 105 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: rather compete in a conference with Boise State and Fresno 106 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: State and Air Force with a chance to vive for 107 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: a conference championship every year? Do you want to be 108 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: a dormat? Really? Look at the size of Washington State Stadium. 109 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: What do they seat, like thirty five thousand people? They 110 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: should be in a conference with Boise States, No State, 111 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: San Diego State. It's a better fit. Take a deep breath. 112 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: College basketball has it figured out. A massive playoff at 113 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: the end of the year makes the conferences less significant 114 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: because you're inviting so many people. Therefore, there's a lot 115 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: of avenues to get into the tournament. If you create 116 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: a sixteen or eighteen team tournament, let's say sixteen, you 117 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: could take five from the Big Ten, six from the SEC, 118 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: two from the new Big twelve, two from the ACC 119 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: that still leave room for an independent Take a deep breath. 120 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: The only thing that's changed in college football. The great 121 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: teams will still be great. The irrelevant teams will still 122 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: be irrelevant. Pretty good will still be pretty good. The 123 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: only thing that's changed is the departure and arrival cities. 124 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: The flight paths have changed for a handful of teams, 125 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: all right. Chad Milman, chief content officer of the Action Network, 126 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: is stopping by for a little summer discussion. For the record, 127 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: I just got back from Turks and Caicos, which is 128 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: very warm in June and early July. But I will 129 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: tell you this, Milman, I'd never been to the Caribbean. Spectacular, leisurely, 130 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: wonderful local people. Not sure if you've ever taken your 131 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: beautiful wife and kids to the Turks, I highly recommend it. 132 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: What say you? I have not been to what we 133 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: like to call T and C, but I have been 134 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: around the area and it's phenomenal. It makes you feel 135 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: like you can see to the end of the world 136 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: and you're never going to reach it, and you don't 137 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: care because you're so relaxed, because you're just having a drink, 138 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: You're sitting by an infinity pool, you're reading a book 139 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: in your case, You're posting Instagram videos every thirty seconds, 140 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: responding to the news, usually shirtless with someone in the background, Yeah, 141 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: either looking at you funny or wondering why is this 142 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: guy talking to a camera? Or it was one of 143 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: your family that was wondering why is he still working 144 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: when we're on vacation in turks and cacos. But I 145 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: will say vacation generally has never been more important and restorative. Yeah, no, kidding, right, 146 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: all right, this is our segment called Sharpen Square. So 147 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: I thought this week, the week one lines are out, 148 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you three games I really really love, 149 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: not like love, and then you can give me a 150 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: couple you like, and I want you to respond to mine. 151 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: So okay, I want to give you my three and 152 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: you respond to him. Yep. First game, I like Detroit 153 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,599 Speaker 1: plus four against Philly. I think by the end of 154 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: the year Philly is better. But I thought last year 155 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: Detroit was about as competitive as a bad team could be. 156 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: I like their off season between t J. Hawkinson, amarn 157 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: Saint Brown, Piney Seul DeAndre Swift, Jared Goff more than 158 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: a competent offense. Philadelphia has got some new pieces. I 159 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: think eventually they gel. But week one, you know, Chad, 160 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: average teams don't think they're average in September. They know 161 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: it by October. There is no way I can lay 162 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: four points. I love the Lions plus four Sharper square 163 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: look the Lions as a dog, the Lions as a 164 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: home doog. That's going to be a theme for us 165 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: throughout twenty twenty two. I love this play. The wise 166 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: guys love this play. The line in a lot of 167 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: places has moved in the Lions direction, meaning it's gone 168 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: from four and a half down to four. The Lions 169 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: are a team that believes right, and the Lions are 170 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: a team that also knows who they are there are. 171 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: The Lions are a team that got more talented, and 172 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles are a team that is already starting to 173 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: have to defend against ideas that they are an all 174 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: star team. Right. What did aj Brown say last week? 175 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: You were on vacation. You might not have seen it. 176 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: Then again, you responded to everything, so you probably did. Yeah, 177 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: he's saying we're not a team of all stars yet, 178 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: and look, everyone thinks Jalen hurts. They're talking about how 179 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: Jack Dee is, how much better he's gotten. I'm a 180 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: believer on the Eagles. If you ask me, do I 181 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: like the Eagles over nine and a half wins? I 182 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: like the Eagles over nine and a half wins? Do 183 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: I like the Eagles to cover in Week one on 184 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: the road at Detroit against the coach who the jury 185 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: is out, whether he's good or not. But I am 186 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: a huge fan of Dan Campbell, and I do think 187 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: getting this team Jack for Week one as a home underdog, 188 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: that is the team I want to play. All right, 189 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: here's the second one I love. I'm gonna go an 190 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: order of love. I love that one. I really love 191 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: this one. Raiders getting over a field goal at the Chargers. 192 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: It'll be a sixty five thirty five Raiders crowd. Davante 193 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: Adams two, Hunter renfro to Josh Jacobs to Darren Waller. 194 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels is a very clever offensive coordinator. Is he 195 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: a great head coach? I don't know, but I thought 196 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: the Raiders and I think they had a great off 197 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: season making the playoffs. I think there's a lot of 198 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: really positive energy around this team. It's going to be 199 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: really a home game, and the verdicts out on I 200 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: think the Chargers have a really good roster. There is 201 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: no proof that they win big games. There is proof 202 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: they're talented, but in games like this, they're not good 203 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: enough to give over a field goal. I like the Raider. 204 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot here. Yeah, I agree. Like, look, you've 205 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: got an intradivision game against two teams that a lot 206 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: of people would say are relatively evenly matched. The Raiders 207 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: got better on offense. The Chargers got much much better 208 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: on defense, just by virtue of getting some players back, 209 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: plus some of the trades they've made to improve their 210 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: pass rush. Games like this, they shouldn't be more than 211 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: a field goal. Like, it should be a field goal, 212 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: and when it's a field goal, you should pass. If 213 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: it's minus three and a half, you should take the underdog. 214 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: If it's two and a half, you should take the favorite. 215 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: And that's it. So right now this number is sitting 216 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: at four. You got to take the Raiders in this spot. 217 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: This baseball season turned k's into cash, big hits into 218 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: big wins with FanDuel Sports Book.

Okay, 245 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: here's my favorite pick Week one, Minnesota at home getting 246 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: points against Green Bay. So here's why I like it. 247 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: First of all, I think the Vikings will be the 248 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: most improved team in the league. Kirk Cousins has a 249 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: new contract, He's in a good mood. He also has 250 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: the taller Sean McVay coach. The league is changing defensive 251 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: coaches who are legends. Pete Carroll in trouble. Tomlin hasn't 252 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: won a big playoff game in a decade. Bill Belichick 253 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: feels mediocre, Zimmer fired, Fangio fired, Flores fired, Ruvera getting heat. 254 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: There is one ascending defensive coach in the league, Sean 255 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: McDermott and that's mostly because of Josh Allen. The league 256 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: has changed offensive coaches win. That's they have a relationship 257 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,959 Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks. Brady couldn't get along with Belichick at 258 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: the end. Two couldn't get along with Flores, Zimmer couldn't 259 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: get along with Cousins, Pete couldn't get along with Russell Wilson. 260 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: Vic Fangio couldn't get along with any of his quarterbacks. 261 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: It works. Kirk's got money, he's got security, he's got 262 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: an offensive coach. We both liked their weapons. They have 263 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: nice players all over the offense. Green Bay could be good, 264 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: but there's no proof that Aaron Rodgers in Week one 265 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: is going to trust a rookie college receiver from an 266 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: FCF school, or Alan Lazard being his one, or Sammy 267 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: Watkins being dependable on a flag route. That may develop, 268 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: but Aarons trust issues with his own family. We saw 269 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: it in the playoff game with teammates for years. Minnesota early. 270 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: They're bringing a new offense, green Bay's gonna be guessing. 271 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: We know what green Bay's gonna do, and Minnesota's got 272 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: tape on what they do. Love the Vikings here, You 273 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: are a one hundred percent correct about the Vikings in 274 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: this spot, a short home dog against a very public 275 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: team is always going to be the side you want 276 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: to take. I do feel like you've got a little 277 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: vacation brain if you're trying to compare Mike Zimmer and 278 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: Vic Fangio and how Vic Fangio did with no quarterbacks, 279 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: or how Mike Zimmer did with Kirk Cousins and their 280 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: defensive pet degrees as assistant coaches, with Mike Tomlin and 281 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and the history they have as super Bowl 282 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: winning coaches. Entirely different conversations that should not be a 283 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: factor and why you're betting on the Vikings against the Packers. 284 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: Agree with you one hundred percent about the Packers in 285 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: the spot. Who are their offensive weapons, who will Aaron 286 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: Rodgers trust? How are they going to build a game 287 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: plan about anybody? And how can they get downfield? I also, 288 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: I kind of disagree about Kirk Cousins being comfortable. I 289 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: think the reason you take the Vikings here almost has 290 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the talent on the field. If 291 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: you're tional better, you're looking at this number and you're 292 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: taking it because of the percentages, because of what the 293 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: president tells you, because you know you've got a matchup 294 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: of a Vikings team that is very competitive, that lost 295 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: close games last year and has experienced beating the Packers 296 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: and beating Aaron Rodgers, and you're getting them as a 297 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: short home dog. You know the public is going to 298 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: be on the Packers. You want to be on the 299 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: Viking ser Okay, So now I've given you my three 300 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: we get rare three for three sharp verse square agreement. 301 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: You when I told you I had three picks, you 302 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: told me, oh, I got a couple I likes, So 303 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: give me two that you love, all right, Number one. 304 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: It's so disgusting, it's going to make you wonder if 305 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: I've spent too much time sipping my ties in Turks 306 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: and Kikos. Give me Houston plus seven and a half. Yeah, 307 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: at home against Indianapolis. If there's ever a time, Look, 308 00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: Houston overperformed last year with Davis Mills at quarterback, and 309 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: you could honestly argue if Davis Mills had come out 310 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 1: this past year instead of the year before, and he 311 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: had developed at Stanford for one more year with his 312 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: size and his arm and the caliber of quarterbacks in 313 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: this past class where Kenny Pickett was the only one 314 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: taken in the first round. Davis Mills could have been 315 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. Yeah, right, like with the 316 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: way he performed for the Texans last year. I think 317 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: they have a serviceable to better than serviceable quarterback. I 318 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: think they have a very like a defense that is 319 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: good enough. I'm not going to be hyperbolic here and 320 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: say they have a very good defense. But the one 321 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: time when you want to take a team that you 322 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: expect to be bad all year is Week one at 323 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: home as huge underdogs. We talked about it a little 324 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: bit with the Lions, but we've seen this for years. Right, 325 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, the Jags win one game 326 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: the entire year. What is the game Week one against 327 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: the Colts. We all saw, we all made that bet. 328 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: We all made that money on the Jags that one week. 329 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: So that's one. That is one. By the way, Colts, 330 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: Giants perennially slow starters, Chiefs perennially hot starters. Indy doesn't 331 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: play well in September. That's just their that's their DNA. 332 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: So that leads to another one, which is interesting. The 333 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys plus two and a half against the Tampa 334 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Dude, this is a primetime game at home. 335 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: I know it's Tom Brady, I know it's the Bucks. 336 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: There are certain spots where you know the Cowboys are 337 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: going to show up. Dak Prescott now as a full 338 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: year of being back from that ankle injury. Takes a 339 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: while to come back from those things. But just based 340 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: on the numbers alone, in a primetime game like that, 341 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: it's going to be ugly. I gotta go with the cabalists. 342 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: I'll say this. I had this discussion. Somebody made fun 343 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: of me. I said, so Brady's entire career, he would 344 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: bark on the sidelines, he would bark at coaches. We 345 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: have video evidence, yep. And then last year he was 346 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: very unhappy at the end of the year. And you 347 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: didn't see it. Tom had made that quick pivot to 348 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to retire. I mean, he does nothing impulsively. 349 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: Then we find out when the season's over. Oh yeah, 350 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: he was ready to go to Miami. He was going 351 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: to be in the ownership group. He was going to 352 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: go with Sean Payton. Well, he didn't just make that 353 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: up the moment it was offered. I think Tom knew 354 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: it was his last year. He retires. Then the story 355 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: comes out Brian Flores lawsuit, he backs off. Now he 356 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: re engages to the league. I think part of him 357 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: is already retired, Like I really do. I thought at 358 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: the end of last year, I said this on the air. 359 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: I said, he's just not quite as barkie and demonstrative 360 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: and overtly frustrated. He would make comments in the paper like, 361 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, we're not there, we're not playing as a unit. 362 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: But you didn't see that sort of that aesthetic, that 363 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: classic Tom barking. And I think that's what happens. I mean, 364 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: if I have a job and I'm going to leave 365 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: a job, and this has happened to me four or 366 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: five times in my career, that last six months, you 367 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: don't sweat the small stuff. You're already out the door. 368 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: You don't sweat the small stuff. I don't think Tampa's 369 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: going to be a super Bowl team this year. I 370 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: just feel like I feel like the McVay Stafford thing 371 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: is ascending and aspirational because Matt feels like he wasted 372 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: a huge chunk of his career, and I feel like 373 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo is ascending and hungry, and Kansas City wants to 374 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: prove they didn't need re kill Cincinnati. There's a lot 375 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: of these ascending teams. I kind of feel like Tom, 376 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: he's got a foot, He's got a foot in the 377 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: pool just a little bit. And that's my takeaway. So 378 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: if you told me Tampa goes ten and seven, eleven 379 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: and six and they lose mostly the games against the 380 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: best teams, it wouldn't surprise me. It really wouldn't. When 381 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: you are a senior in college, a senior in high school, 382 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: oh yeah, and you know what your next gig is 383 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 1: going to be. Those last six months forget about if 384 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: you're leaving a job, you've kind of you've got it 385 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: all figured out right, you know the game, you know 386 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: how to survive, you know how to succeed. But you've 387 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: also got one eye down the road on what is 388 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: my multimedia company going to be, What is my FTX 389 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: involvement going to be, what is my ownership potential going 390 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: to be? How am I going to start becoming a 391 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: better broadcaster than Troy Aikman and Tony Romo and anybody 392 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: else who has ever been a broadcaster, Because you know, 393 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: everyone is already saying Tom Brady has not been that 394 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: good as a speaker, and so why would they give 395 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: him this kind of money, so you know he's going 396 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: to work as hard as he can to become the 397 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: best broadcaster ever. Yeah. So yeah, those are part of 398 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: the reasons why where you've got Dak Prescott who's got 399 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: a lot to prove, and the Cowboys who have a 400 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: lot to prove, and they still have good weapons, and 401 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: the first game of the year isn't the last game 402 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: of the year when you expect them to choke, and 403 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: you've got a season's worth the data to show how 404 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: they make horrible decisions. In the first game of the year, 405 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: you can It's almost like they can shock the opponent 406 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: with how many bad decisions they can make and the 407 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: Bucks will be like, wait, they shouldn't be doing this, 408 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: whereas by the end of the year the teams are 409 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: expecting them to make bad decisions so they can play 410 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: against it. Finally, Milman, give me the movement on Carol 411 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: Lina with Baker Mayfield. Where were they were they at? 412 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: So they've gone up by about a game, so it 413 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 1: was in win totals five and a half to six 414 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: and a half. I like Carolina over six and a half. 415 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: I like him more. With Baker Mayfield, I wouldn't have 416 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: played him with Sam Darnold. What's interesting about Carolina to 417 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: me isn't so much Baker Mayfield, who I think is 418 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: just a better quarterback than Sam Darnolds. He's proven it right, 419 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: like he's had good years and so if you're not 420 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: counting on the Baker Mayfield who had a terrible left 421 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: shoulder injury for the latter half of the year. And look, 422 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: we talked about this in the Favorites last year. Someone 423 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: on the Volume Social team just reshared a clip where 424 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: we were talking on the Favorites in January of last year. 425 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: Where do we think Baker goes? What do we think 426 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: is the damage from not playing with not being fully 427 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 1: healthy at the end of the year, and we just 428 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: thought he screwed himself, like he tried one for the 429 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: team look terrible. Yeahrstalla's value and we're like, Carolina is 430 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: the right spot. And this was in January, right, So 431 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: if he's fully healthy and can give the ball the 432 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and can be better than Sam Darnold, this 433 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: is a team that defensively, Yeah, people will knock them 434 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: for being bad, they were only bad because they were 435 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: on the field more than anybody else, So like the 436 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: other team had more opportunities to do more things if 437 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: you put them in a vacuum in an average number 438 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: of plays, they're pretty good defense. Yeah, and I know 439 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people knock Matt Rule. I was a 440 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: huge fan of Matt Rule two years ago because of 441 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,719 Speaker 1: their defense. Yeah, last year I think was a last year. 442 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: So I would bet the over six and a half 443 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: with Baker playing quarterback. Yeah, I agree. All right, buddy, 444 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: we'll talk soon. We'll do our regular stuff here pretty quickly. 445 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: We're starting to feel like we're getting somewhere. Mike Silver 446 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: came on yesterday. There's some Trey Lance stuff that's real concerning. 447 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: We're getting close. What are we about? Ten days from camp? 448 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny, it's I think we're two weeks 449 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: from camp. I think we are sixty four days from 450 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: the start of the season. But you know, it's weird. 451 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: July is such a weird month when you work in 452 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,719 Speaker 1: sports media because it all of a sudden really is 453 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: like the slowest time of the year. NBA playoffs are done, 454 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: free agency is done, Draft is done, you got baseball, 455 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: NFL like everybody is away, so there's not a lot 456 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: of news, right, and it's when a lot of us 457 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: take a vacation. You just want a vacation. I'm going 458 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: on vacation in a couple of weeks. You come back 459 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: with vacation, and like it's not like August is still 460 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: the summer. It's August first, and you've got to be 461 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: ready to go. Oh yeah, Like July is both when 462 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: you have to plan everything and it's also when like 463 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: there's nothing going on and you can lose that month 464 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: like that, It just in the snap of a finger's gone. 465 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, camps are two weeks from today. I think 466 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: the seasons in sixty four days. I'm kind of ready. 467 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm ready to start doing nothing but worse football. Yeah. 468 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: Same here.

They're gonna be really, really pricy. We 472 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: didn't even talk about USC in the big time. Are 473 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: you ready?
