31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Because you guys have created I don't think you quite

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: realized the reach and scope of your listenership. Because this

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: whole thing began because Rosie, who uh is a friend

34
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: of mine and lives very close, was like bock and

35
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: a half away. Nobody knows I've been doing this for

36
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: twenty years. He's like everybody ever heard of this, dude,

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: and then you ran with it and created this drop.

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: But well, I'm just saying, you know, when you're first

39
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: bringing someone up, you can't you can't assume that they've

40
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: listened to all the old episodes. It's it's it's called broadcasting.

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: I like it and I understand, but what I'm saying

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: to you is that you guys leave this bit at

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: the door where it then is thrown onto me. And

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: this is what I wanted to bring up to you.

45
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: So you know, I've been doing some writing for other

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: concerns and I wrote a big piece for The Ringer.

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: You should check it out about the Road Tripping podcast.

48
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: It's Richard Jefferson and Channing Fry and calv sideline reporter

49
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: Ali Clifton, and it's a very good podcast that a

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: humble plug not so humble. But this is not the point.

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: The point is down. I write this piece and it's

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: about basketball in The Ringer, and within seconds my mentions

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: get exploded by who is John Gonzalez? Young people are

54
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: everywhere you have you have ruined my mentions, and I

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: wanted you to know that I do love that. We

56
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: we get that a lot too, college across all platforms, Instagram, everywhere.

57
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: Who is dying on us is like now bigger than

58
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: John Gonzalez. I don't think so, but it's kind of rude.

59
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: Rosie has just like completely writes from major publications, has

60
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: an Emmy in his back pocket. All right, it's kind

61
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: of like it's like three quarters of any Yeah. Uh yeah,

62
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: So Sydney's last day and uh we did we took

63
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: we took Sydney out for lunch, uh Greg and I did. Today.

64
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: It was a really great awkward Greg moment. What happened, Well,

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: he did a great job getting a gift for Sydney,

66
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: but then had, uh like this little pink tote bag.

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: And instead of waiting until we got here for this

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: for the show, he brought the tote bag with him

69
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: to meet Sydney outside the commissary and then poor Sydney

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: had to carry this thing all the way to lunch,

71
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: all the way back. And then I waited. I actually

72
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: didn't say anything during during lunch. I want to see, well,

73
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Greg say, all right, so anyone open up the gift

74
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: or anything. She never opened it, so she just carried

75
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: this bag. We still don't know if she knows what's

76
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: in the bag. Have you looked in it yet? I haven't.

77
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: I haven't looked in it. Right now right here on

78
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: the air. It's a special day. It's an audio media

79
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: but you know we can we can talk Sally behind

80
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: the glass. Can you get this on video? Perhaps? I

81
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: think Dan was upset that he didn't get a gift too.

82
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: It's from all of us. It's from all of us.

83
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: It's from all of us. I put a lot of

84
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: money and thought into this play by play, pulled it

85
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: out of the pink bag. It's in tissue paper right right,

86
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: we're going, we're going great. You can edit this out.

87
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Somebody tell Sally, you gotta hold the phone sideways, horizontal

88
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: video sideways. Oh it's a lovely picture of all five

89
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: of us a plaque. Now I'm emotional. The goal is

90
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: to get Tony to cry. At the end of the episode.

91
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: When you say the five of us, I assume that

92
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: you mean Colleen and I are in that phone. Beautiful Sydney.

93
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: We're so happy to have you for one more episode,

94
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: but we have a lot to get to it. We'll

95
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: get act to Sydney throughout the episode, but so much

96
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: to Oh my god, a lot of news first full

97
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,400

98
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: the news. John, you've been in Cleveland covering the calves

99
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: and all matters NBA, but I know you've obviously preparing

100
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: for this spot. You've been doing a lot of NFL

101
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: deep dive reading and research. I know that I have

102
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: done as much research for this pot as I did

103
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: for damnash X podcast when we did that, So I

104
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: am prepared. Let's do it. Uh so, yeah, we'll go

105
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: through all that. We'll also on the subject of O

106
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: t A s uh Greg road a banger, what matters

107
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: and what doesn't matter. We just did an NFL network

108
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: hit on the same subject and now we will break

109
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: it down in depth on this podcast because that's what

110
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: we do. And maybe a couple of surprises along the way.

111
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: But let's get going. No more dilly dallying. We got

112
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: to move forward, Sydney. There are no reverse gears in

113
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: this tank. Let's do some news. Good night and good luck.

114
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: All right, So let's start with some rule changes in

115
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. Oh, everybody loves rule change, especially this one.

116
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: The relaxed they're relaxing the celebration rules that have been

117
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: an effect that have really got if you if you

118
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: follow the game closely. One of the annoying subplots on Sundays,

119
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: if you're somebody that has to stay plugged into your

120
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: Twitter or you have tweet deck, it become it became

121
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: a part of Sunday that people complaining about flags coming

122
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: out for different things, and I think the NFL got

123
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: the message and they spoke with all these different people.

124
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Rock released a press release that even had gifts in it, uh,

125
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: showing what was now allowed in all this. But anyway,

126
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you can now do some

127
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: different things that you weren't able to do before. Roger says, quote,

128
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: there is now more room to have fun, to make

129
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: after big plays. Colleen, you're excited about this, more room

130
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: for fun. This is awesome. I mean, I can't believe

131
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: that this is a thing anyway that we have to

132
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that there was a rule against

133
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: celebrating in the NFL. But I think that somebody like

134
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: von Miller is going to bring us many celebrations. He

135
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: even suggested that they bring in a choreographer because of

136
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: all of the linemen. Maybe there can be some type

137
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: of like temptations routine after after he sacks somebody or whatever.

138
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: So here's some of the examples of celebrations now permitted.

139
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: You can now use the football as a prop after

140
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown. You could celebrate while on the ground, Snow

141
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: Angel Baby and U group demonstrations, as as Colleen just

142
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: hinted at now also on the table, gonzo your thoughts.

143
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm pro fun. I've been pro fund pretty consistently my

144
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: entire life. I saw I did actually see this part,

145
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: so i'll I'll get involved here before taking a nap

146
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: in the corner. The press release had an exclamation point

147
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: on it. They're already starting with the fun. I'm right

148
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: that slammers in the press they had they had an

149
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: exclamation point right in the headline of it, so that

150
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: knows you mean, that means that they mean business. This

151
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: is wonderful. This is all I'm overdue. I feel bad

152
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: for chat Outsinko and t O. They're probably thinking like

153
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: they're pioneers. Well just also thinking like why were you

154
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: bugging us the whole time. The thing that's a little

155
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: crazy is, you know, we've done all this research and

156
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: we found out from fans that they, you know, they

157
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: love fun. Literally one year ago, one year ago at

158
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: this time, people forget. This is kind of why this

159
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: is happening. The NFL institute or rule of emphasis, the

160
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: entire opposite direction against group celebrations that caused more flags

161
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: that got everyone complaining. So one year ago at this time,

162
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: the NFL literally was doing the exact opposite, trying to

163
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: crack down, and I guess they just got beaten down.

164
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: And also it's it's kind of ironic and funny that

165
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: something that's designed, oh now, let's have more fun. It

166
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: was a multiple hundreds of NFL players discussions deep dives

167
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: about all this on whether or not you should have fun.

168
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: It kind of stands on opposition of what fun is

169
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: it not? That's where King though still right not to

170
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: working and you can't no pumps, no pumps, pumps. Godell

171
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: apparently tweeted at Keegan Michael Key about that. Yeah, because

172
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: about though these are the things that are in my perpose,

173
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know that you're more on well, Gonza reads

174
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: end around. These are the that's true. I'm a big

175
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: fan of end around. Uh. I think that it's interesting

176
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: though that you're saying that the NFL was inconsistent about

177
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: this point. That doesn't sound like the NFL um And

178
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: also you you still can't dunk over the crossbars, which

179
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: is all Jimmy Graham's fault. Here's the thing this this

180
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: like complaining like the people that are sticking the MUDs

181
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: and don't like it, Like that's not gonna go away

182
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: because players are gonna take this and they're gonna go

183
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: hard you mentioned, I mean they're gonna go hardcore. And

184
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: initially group celebrations are now allowed. This is gonna get elaborate.

185
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: I think it'll be fun to see, like, but it's

186
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: gonna kind of be like in basketball. You are basica

187
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: like it. This is the pod for me. Let's talk

188
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: more like that's what It's gonna start getting. Weird air

189
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: and wild like stuff we have not seen before, and

190
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna get that's gonna get its own pushback. Who's

191
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: really going to complain it's gonna be and racist grandfather's Yeah,

192
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it, right, Like where do you draw

193
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: the line? Prisco? But he'll complain, where where is your

194
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: dad on this? Oh? Keith? Yeah, I have to talk

195
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: to Keith about this. I I think he might he

196
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: might be leaning towards the Marvin Lewis realm Okay, yeah,

197
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: I know he's of a generation that like, I need

198
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: my football and none of this nonsense. Yeah, everybody's gonna

199
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: he thinks people should just you know, act like you've

200
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: been there. But like, oh it's cool, you know, we'll

201
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: draft Joe Mixon and let's keep Hacman Jones through his

202
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: fifth arrest. But the glaring hypocrisy is notable, But who cares?

203
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. We have celebrations again. All I'm thinking

204
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: about is the re enactments of like all of the

205
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: celebrations from any given Sunday slash the replacements. Just give

206
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: me that and unless of the last boy scout, we

207
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: don't want that. Things want terribly dark in that one.

208
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: Um and other changes to the rules, shorter overtimes are

209
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: coming to the NFL. Team owners approved shortening over time

210
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: in the preseason and regular season from fifteen to ten

211
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: minutes at the spring league meeting in Chicago on Tuesday.

212
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: The approval comes after the proposal was initially presented to

213
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: owners uh in March at the annual league meeting. And

214
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: Greg makes sense of this one to me, because I

215
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: don't get it. The only thing to me it promotes

216
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: is more ties. Nobody likes ties. Why why? Why it's weird.

217
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: I think it's like a half measure on the way

218
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: to doing something else, like the either getting rid of

219
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: overtime or making it so that there's just one possession

220
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: each Because they clearly they're not comfortable with that much

221
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: football being played, and then maybe you have a game Thursday,

222
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: but it's like, what is five minutes do? Yeah, this

223
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: is a less exciting. It's not going to change, but yeah,

224
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: they their whole thing is from a safety standpoint, and

225
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: overtime could lead to potentially eighteen to twenty more snaps

226
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: in a game. And yeah, if you're playing on a

227
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: Thursday night and that's a Sunday night game. Like everybody

228
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: remembers the awful Cardinals Seahawks six six tie last year

229
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: sitting there, that was a great game, though, I like

230
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: Foot and Greg, I love you football heads like itself.

231
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: Don't bring that up around Greg, Greg and West. Like

232
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: everyone everybody's saying how amazing that game wasn't. Yes, a

233
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: lot of drama, there was stuff, There was stuff happening.

234
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: It was the game that would never end. It was

235
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: also bad field goal kickers, So what's so fun about

236
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: that that that was part of it? This o t

237
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: thing has brought up a pet peeve of mine, which

238
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: is a lot of people are like, well, there only

239
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: would have been two games that would have been affected

240
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: last year, or I've seen some articles like these teams

241
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: would have made the playoffs, if this rule had been institute, Like, no,

242
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: everything is going to be different. You can't go back

243
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: and say that's how that game is going to be

244
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: played out the same. It's kind of like when a

245
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: guy makes an out in baseball and they said, well,

246
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: if you hadn't made that out, you know they would

247
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: have driven those runners, and like, no, everything's going to

248
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: be different. Strategy, you'll be different. You try to finish

249
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: these games off quick. I like the baseball analogy there.

250
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. People always say that if

251
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: you hadn't made that air, if Bruce arians likes it,

252
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: then I like it. So straight three, you're out. I

253
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: like the cross pollination of sports on this podcast. This

254
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: is really good. Two quick things. You said eighteen to

255
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: twenty more steps? Did you do math on that? Well, yeah,

256
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: that's like it would be. I figured that was I

257
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: don't do any number. I figured that was from this

258
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: is from the press releases. Van doesn't do numbers either.

259
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: Did you know, Gonzo I once got a thirty nine

260
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: on a state mandated math test. That is higher than

261
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: I would have expected, and I'm proud of you. The

262
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: other thing is this whole overtime thing. Is broken period.

263
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: The idea of well, I like overtime conceptually overtime and executed.

264
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm talking about execution wise, like the rules that are

265
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: currently set up where it's, hey, if you get a

266
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: touchdown on your first drive, you've won, and that's that.

267
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: That's stupid, it's dumb. It doesn't make any sense. All right,

268
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: they need to get we gotta have to stop, all right.

269
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't wanna like put a clamp

270
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: on you keep can you Colleen? You've been together for

271
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: how many years? Ten? Twelve years? Something? This is a

272
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: great question. I don't know he has the answers to

273
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: any dates And do the subtle husband wife thing when

274
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: you're trying to get the other person to shut up

275
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: every once in a while. Oh, it's not subtle at all.

276
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: Moving on one other rule chain, Now you can send

277
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: a two players uh to injury reserve and the designated

278
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: to return thing, which changes the strategy a little bit.

279
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: And that feels like a good thing. Who's gonna complain

280
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: about that? Are you greg? Right? Good? This is the

281
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: I R boomerang a double. Now we have a double

282
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: I R boomerang boome I like a double boomerang. That's

283
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: good boom Moving on, Odell Beckham, congratulations buddy, because you

284
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: just scored the biggest contract of your life. Has nothing

285
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: to do with the Giants either. On Tuesday, rap Sheet

286
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: reported that Beckham re upped with Nike and A and

287
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: what is the most lucrative deal ever for an NFL player?

288
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: Uh and Gonza. This is where we can lean on you,

289
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: especially with your basketball knowledge. Five years, twenty five million,

290
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: which I've always seen as a cursed contract going back,

291
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: I forget about that too. Neil O'Donnell with the Jets,

292
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: Danny Tartible with the Yankees, and there are several other

293
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: through the years. If you signed five for twenty five,

294
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: you usually your career goes down the tubes. I don't

295
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: know why. I hope that doesn't happen with Beckham, but

296
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: my point being five is nice money. In fact, it's

297
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: more than the Giants are paying him under his current

298
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: rookie contract. And then a guy like Lebron has a

299
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: lifetime deal with Nike worth reportedly or rumored to be

300
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: over a billion dollars. Why such a huge discrepancy. I mean,

301
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: he has Lebron right like he's one of the most

302
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: famous athletes on the planet. No disrespect you could you

303
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: could get you could say, James Harden, whatever James Harden's

304
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: contract is, it's astronomically more than that out of backham. Yeah.

305
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: Basketball tends to go that way because you're uh again

306
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: the visibility. Uh, you're not wearing helmets, the shoes, Like

307
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: how often are you wearing football cleats as opposed to

308
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: basketball sneakers? You guys know, I like million dollar there

309
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: you go. You can wear them around. Uh, and the

310
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: same sneakers that James Harden or Lebron James are wearing

311
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: on the court, right you could you could do that

312
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: as opposed to the cleats, Like, you're not wearing cleats

313
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: right now? That would be weird. What's the helmet? That's true?

314
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: How eight times sixteen times a year? You know? Yeah,

315
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: Howard Asking in Philadelphia, who's known Philadelphia reporter parochial. Uh,

316
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: he will wear cleats on the sideline because he says

317
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: it's better for his cleats and beats and he and

318
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: he coordinates them with his outphit. I'm sure he's never

319
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: been mocked for that in Philadelphia. Yeah, everybody gives him

320
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: a passport five like you said, that's good money. That's

321
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: like around the NFL money, right, Like it's his current contracts,

322
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: five year rookie contract with the option that's already been

323
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: picked up for the fifth year eighteen point eight million. Yeah,

324
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: that's like what you get. That's what Sidney turned that

325
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: down to leave this place. She doesn't need it. She's

326
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: got all the money she needs. She's got a signature show.

327
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: I think you still haven't have you worked through your

328
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: go fund me money yet? Are you still living off

329
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: that first several years? Moving on ESPN, it's very interesting

330
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: piece by Seth Wickersham about Richards Sherman and the Seattle Seahawks.

331
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: The headline why Richard Sherman can't let go of Seattle

332
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl loss, and it really details, uh, everything that's

333
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: happened with that franchise since Malcolm Butler and and focused

334
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: on Sherman, how his his high intensity. Uh it's a

335
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: high wire act behind the scenes in Seattle, and it's

336
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: it's it had rubbed the team sometimes teammates, the coaching staff,

337
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: front office the wrong way and it all kind of

338
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: led to what happened this spring where he was on

339
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: the trade block and it got to the point where

340
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: the team and the player both acknowledged that that was happening,

341
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: which was very rare. Greg, I know you read this

342
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: piece as well. I thought it's said a lot about

343
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: how volcanic that team is, and and to me, I

344
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: read it as there's still obviously an NFC superpower, but

345
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: how much time is left with this core when it

346
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: just seems just there's just a lot going on behind

347
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: the scenes. I really recommend reading it. And the animosity

348
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: or bitterness between Sherman and some of the defense and

349
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: Wilson just jealousy is what was the most interesting thing

350
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: that it really goes back a little ways that that

351
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: the way that he's kind of treated almost as part

352
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: of management, like that he's the favorite one, even though

353
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: the defense is the really the reason that they've won.

354
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: And the way he's handled certain things. I mean they're

355
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: talking about like him asking teammates to sign a non

356
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: disclosure agreement before going into his box at a baseball

357
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: game it was, and like them complaining that his like

358
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: Christmas gifts that he gives out to the lineman it

359
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: we're just first class tickets on his spot. His last

360
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: airlines Alaska Airlines, which is his sponsorship so they're like,

361
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: big deal, I didn't even have to pay for that,

362
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: and they're just giving He's just giving away. It's like,

363
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: so there's something where they just don't like him. And

364
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: and Wickersham, who I think is a really good reporter,

365
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: he said he thinks it goes beyond sort of the normal, Hey,

366
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: this guy's the star, that's the quarterback, like normal jealousy

367
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: to something a little deeper where it's just like they

368
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: just don't like him. They it's to the point where, yeah,

369
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: in the piece which Michael Bennett isolates it, um, Michael Bennett,

370
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: who you know, I don't really care what that guy

371
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: has to say. But he did go out of his way,

372
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: uh to to rip the writer, saying he was surprised

373
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: and how it was a TMZ type report. Richard Truman

374
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: went on the radio and shot it down. But I

375
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: think the Wilson stuff is fascinating, including a part in

376
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: this piece where it said that he's kind of seen

377
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: as a phony, which other people, uh outside the Seahawks

378
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: have a similar viewpoint. But there is a vibe within

379
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: the Seahawks that the team wants to see him exposed

380
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: as being like an a rod type of exposing situation,

381
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: which how can that be healthy for the goal? What

382
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: if the goal is winning Super Bowls your quarterback to

383
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: become a vilified person in the media and in the public.

384
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: But that's how kind of deep this is. This is messy.

385
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: It's almost got a mean girl's aspect to it. But

386
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: even from the stuff that we've seen with Russell Wilson before,

387
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: with all of his posts and things with Sierra, I mean,

388
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: that just seems so forced and staged and like he's

389
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: trying to prove himself, and to me, it's really annoying.

390
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 1: Like whenever I saw the things that he was posting

391
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: with her, I was like, oh my god. I just

392
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: feel like he's trying way too hard. He doesn't have to.

393
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: He's an NFL starting quarterback on a successful team. Why

394
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: this has been a thing for you? But I know

395
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, you're not the only one. I don't

396
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: know if you guys know, we're married, so we sometimes

397
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: like a year, Yeah, they're taking our bed is number one,

398
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: but too But like as a couple, clearly we pioneered

399
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: pioneered that bit, but like as a couple of you

400
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: sometimes have to think about like what you're gonna put

401
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: out into the world. The you know, the all time

402
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: greats at that are John Legend and Chrissy Tegan and

403
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: then you go down down from there, okay, say all time. Oh,

404
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: they're amazing at it. In terms of social media, like

405
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: like like, what kind of history do we have of

406
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: social transcend transcend Maggio Monroe? Yeah, okay, so we weren't there.

407
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: We weren't there for that. What are my ninety years

408
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: old and it's youth? Heggio and now DiMaggio. That was

409
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: a ballplayer, not like the players we see today out dude,

410
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: by the way, Uh, that was an excellent Damna check

411
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: doing handsas you just did him doing you. So that

412
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: was pretty good. Yeah, but I didn't love I had

413
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: to be honest. I didn't love the idea of Gonzo

414
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: and Fox going on the Damasheck show. Love it, i'

415
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: love it. This is I detect a little jealousy here.

416
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: Jealousy maybe not the word, but I'm glad that you're

417
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: here now, I listen. I have love for you guys,

418
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: as you know, we're friends. We hang out outside of

419
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: your work. I don't walk here. I also love Damna Schek.

420
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: There's plenty of you don't have to fight over me.

421
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: There's plenty of me to go to round. This is

422
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: not a Richard Sherman uh Russell Wilson situation, the entire piece,

423
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: and I know we gotta Yeah, we should definitely move on, Okay,

424
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean we should talk more about you and check

425
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: sharing us. Please, there will be no sharing. It's time

426
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: to make a decision, and I wanted at the end

427
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: of the show. That's what I'm saying. It's like a

428
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: blood of We're gonna our hands and moving on. The

429
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: super Bowls, moving, at least the Super Bowls. Yeah, I

430
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: should state that better. Super Bowl fifty five is moving

431
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be in l A. But l A. You know,

432
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: you freak out a little bit when it rains, and

433
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: l A freaked out so much about the winter of

434
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: rainfall that we just had that now we can't even

435
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: open a facility on time. So what happens that the

436
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: new Englewood facility pushed back a year to Is that right?

437
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: I got pushed back because of the rain. Yeah, because

438
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: there was a filled up the big big hole over

439
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: ax Um, so they needed to fill the slot. And

440
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: what do they do? They don't go to New Orleans

441
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: opportunity were buked. Whatever they booked. This is the Super

442
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: Bowl conventions or something. Uh, so we get it goes

443
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: to Tampa. Tampa will now host the super Bowl in

444
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: one which means, I believe, back to back years the

445
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: biggest game on Earth will be in Florida. How about that?

446
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: Tampa's no fun? Tampa not to throhaded Tampa. I like

447
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: the Tampa super Bowl A skyscraper? What was that? I

448
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: can't even remember at this point. You got ebor City,

449
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: you can walk around. Tampa's fine. There are much worse

450
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: super Bowls. I support it, the radical pro Tampa position

451
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: that you'd staked all right? Moving on the Browns that

452
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: Saints Cults great? No, No, that was in Miami. Uh

453
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: the no, the awful Raiders? No? What was the game

454
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: that was in Tampa? There was? Who cares? Moving on?

455
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: The Browns have hired Ryan Grigson. That's a little bit weird. Uh.

456
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Grigson, of course, who was fired after five years

457
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: as the GM of the Cults and was most famous.

458
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: I would say, well, two things that he was famous for.

459
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: One being lucky enough in his first year to draft

460
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck with the first pick, A no brainer move

461
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: also got t Y Hilton a year. But let's calm down, Yeah,

462
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: didn't he win to he did? He he did, which

463
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: is kind of strange. But and then his other famous

464
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: move came into were when he traded four Trent Richardson

465
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: uh and gave up a first round pick. And Richardson

466
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: was a colossal bust uh egg on Grigson's grill for

467
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: the rest of his tenure there. Uh And what Browns

468
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: blew it too because they ended up drafting Johnny Manziel

469
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: with that pick. But anyway, the Browns have now hired

470
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: Griggson in the position of senior personnel executive. He answers

471
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: to sash a Brown and Connie only the Browns, Right,

472
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: It's weird they're hiring the guy who they swindled and

473
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: everybody saw it happen, and now he's going sort of

474
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: back to to that point. It's just an odd pairing.

475
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: Also a devisive figure that hasn't made a lot of

476
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: or I wouldn't say he might have a lot of friends,

477
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: but he has made some enemies, including for instance, their

478
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: former punter in Indianapolis, Pat mcv who quote retweeted the

479
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: news of this hiring by the Browns with just ha

480
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: ha ha ha ha ha ha. Some people don't like

481
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: the way Griggson operates. That's that's not a good thing

482
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: when you get that retweet. Uh this knowing Mark Sessler,

483
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: how I do. I think he is delighted that he

484
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: is not in the office and not on the podcast

485
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: which it was announced the Browns were hiring Gregson because

486
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he's would not gonna be happy about this,

487
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, because I will say that of all the

488
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: individuals that have been ripped by Mark on this podcast,

489
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: Gregson is right near the top of the list. So

490
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: this makes me excited. Yeah, we'll have to hear from

491
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: his also reporting to a guy who used to report

492
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: to him, and Andrew Barry, who's their VP of player Personnel,

493
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: I used to work together and in I mean, he's

494
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: a very knowledgeable about that about this guy. I think

495
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: this is I have a theory on this. I think

496
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 1: that this is a little quid pro quel, a little kickback, right,

497
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: who helped us out, We're gonna get you in the

498
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: same way that if a politician does something that will

499
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: obviyoist once he gets a lobbying gig thereafter, Yeah, we

500
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: want to thank you Ryan for getting us. Johnny Manziel,

501
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: here's a job we took. Here you go. Moving on,

502
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz, he got a job. And speaking of I

503
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: wish Mark was here for that last one. I wish

504
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: West was here to talk about Victor Cruz staying in

505
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. Uh. He signs a one year deal with Chicago,

506
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: the team announced. Uh. He sent out a instagram of

507
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: himself photoshopped into a Bear's uniform. Let's come down a

508
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: little bit, but was it a good photoshop job? B

509
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: minus put her to be minus? Uh? And and he's

510
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: of course coming from the Giants, where he was kind

511
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: of a legendary strong but one of the more famous

512
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: figures with that franchise in the last ten twelve years.

513
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: It ended poorly with the Giants, which really surprised me.

514
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 1: In fact, Victor had an interesting conspiracy theory about how

515
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: his final season at the Meadowlands went. Las see it

516
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: halfway through the year, You're like, okay, I'm balling. Then

517
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: the other half of not getting the ball, and you're

518
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: just like, well, what's going on. I was like, okay,

519
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: I see what's happening. They don't they don't want me

520
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: here anymore. Let's how I played well and I'm a

521
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: thousand yards sever last year they would have it would

522
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: have been more difficult from a fan perspective to cut me,

523
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: and if I played well, they were due to you know,

524
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: they owed me a ton of money that next year.

525
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: So it was like, let's get let's get Cruise off

526
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: the books. That would explain why you were open so

527
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: much and he wasn't getting the ball. I'm glad political

528
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: like even more, even more than you think. Okay, where

529
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: was that the breakfast club by the way, Yes, okay, uh,

530
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: let's let's break this down. Victor Cruz believes that the

531
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: Giants at some point midway through the season decided that

532
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: they didn't want to bring him back and they needed

533
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: to depress his value or his standing with the fans,

534
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: uh by taking the air out of the ball essentially

535
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: on his season, which I would think would negatively affect

536
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: the New York Giants since he was still getting snaps.

537
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: I also don't remember Victor Cruz being opened a ton

538
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: last day. This is the part that I really that's

539
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: the part of the conspiracy that I really liked, because

540
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: not only is part of the conspiracy and in them

541
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: and in real time, Eli Manning, who has enough trouble

542
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,239
Speaker 1: being Eli Manning under the best of circumstances, must then

543
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: calculate not throwing the ball to an open receiver. I

544
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: love this theory. I'm on board this. This entire interview

545
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: is well worth listen and are one of the editors

546
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: on our desk. Austin nab Block, who we called El

547
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: Chapo Blanco because he's a called blooded assassins, rightly called

548
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: it Victor Cruz's retirement speech. That's what this interview was

549
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: because it it I don't know if the Bears heard

550
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: this before they signed him, but it just felt like

551
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: listening to this just I don't know, you don't you

552
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: don't want him on your teach And he was a

553
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: favorite son of of the Giants and the fans. He

554
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: was a guy that came out of nowhere, a Rutgers guy,

555
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: grew up in North Jersey, and he blew out his

556
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: knee in Philadelphia Sunday night, and they stayed true to

557
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: him after he failed come back attempt, even threw himself

558
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: a welcome back party, uh and then didn't play that

559
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: entire season. John stayed with him that entire season, kept

560
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: him in part of their offense last year, even though

561
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: it was clear that he wasn't the same guy anymore.

562
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: And then this is how he gets he repays them

563
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: come back to us VIC. Since West isn't here, I'll

564
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: point out something he might have, which is that he's

565
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: probably not going to make this team. I mean, the

566
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: Bears don't have a good receiver. So it's as good

567
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: a team, you know, it's as good a chance he

568
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 1: has to make any team be fighting against Kendall. Right,

569
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's kind of maybe for one spot, but but

570
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: it's an uphill battle for him to keep it going.

571
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: It's like typical disgruntled wide receiver talk like that, surprising

572
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: Sessler and Westling that you have channeled both of them

573
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: in this podcast, whereas he's so we've done a lot

574
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: of these. Now we've done a lot of these. And

575
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: Greg is a shape shifter who strong, silent type, who

576
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: on this pod said that they aren't going to write

577
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: about Victor Cruz in the off season. Didn't somebody have

578
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: him as there? Yeah, West has major issues with Cruise,

579
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: and I always kind of had a soft spot for him,

580
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: but now I'm not feeling as hot about him anymore.

581
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 1: Let's move on final some sad news in the NFL.

582
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: Cortez Kennedy UH was found dead in Orlando on Tuesday.

583
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: A former Seahawks Grete was forty eight years old, drafted

584
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: third overall in the draft out of the You UH.

585
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: He had an incredible eleven year career that ended with

586
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame enshrinement with the Seahawks. UH fifty

587
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: eight career sacks, Pro Bowl or eight times five All

588
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: Pro selections. That's the one to watch. Get five All

589
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: Pro nods, you are one of the players of your generation.

590
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: And he played on the Seahawks at a time when

591
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks were kind of a team that was just

592
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: floating in the ether of the NFL. They were in

593
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: the A F C H for most of that tenure,

594
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: and he was the shining star during the throughout the nineties.

595
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: And Sean Alexander um uh spoke with NFL Network about

596
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: Cortez Kennedy. Alexander was kind of the next guard that

597
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: came through in terms of face of the franchises, and

598
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: he talked about how um Cortez Kennedy was proud about

599
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: being part of the Seahawks lineage. Even when I think

600
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: about just this last season the playoffs. It's me and

601
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: him and Jacob Green watched it in the locker room,

602
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: and you could speak how proud tes was of where

603
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are now and and to see like from

604
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: Jacob Green to Tez Into passing it to me and

605
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: to watching you know, Russell and Sherm and all these

606
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: boys playing at such elite level. Um, we were all

607
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: very proud and we still are. The Seahawks now really are.

608
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: But Tess, it's just a big fixture for that. Uh.

609
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: Kennedy told Stacy Dale's that his enshrinement in two thousand twelve.

610
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: Now I can say I'm a Hall of Famer and say, WHOA,

611
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm in, baby, I'm in for life. Cortez Kennedy years old.

612
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: Very sad. It was really well liked. You know how

613
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: good you mean, you have to be an unbelievable player

614
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: to win Defensive Player of the Year on a two

615
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,959
Speaker 1: and fourteen team. That might not ever happened again. When

616
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: they did the All nineties team, he was the starting

617
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: defensive tackle and he was you know, I'm looking at

618
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: the team. It's him and John Randall. He's probably the

619
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: the number one defensive tackle of the nineties. It's sad

620
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: and he's a young guy. He's forty years old. That

621
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: the cause of death is still undetermined, like no one knows,

622
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: it's it's It caught a lot of people by surprise.

623
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: He was actually loosely working for the Saints because he's

624
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: close with Mickey Loomis, their general manager. He goes to

625
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: the Saints facility a lot and kind of consults with them.

626
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: So it took a lot of people by surprise. I

627
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: put him on the Andre Dawson All Stars. Dawson won

628
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: the n L m v P for a dreadful Cubs

629
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: team in eighty seven. When you could when you're that good,

630
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: when you can transcend being surrounded by suck. Lawson All Stars.

631
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: So many people who talked about him, there's so many

632
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: quotes out there. They're saying what a great football player

633
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: he was, but he was an even better person and

634
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: that he was so well liked by everybody. Absolutely, Uh,

635
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: moving on cattle. This is not a great transition, but

677
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: guy's been in the Don Renaldo Bard Marks twel is,

678
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: an American sports writer, was married NFL media broadcaster Colleen

679
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: wolf John, who was a pieces resides in Los Angeles

680
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: with his wife and two dogs. That drop was a

681
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: g C. It's a good call, it's a good call.

682
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: I recognize that you've been in the business of show

683
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: this realm of sport for twenty years. I'm adjacent to it. Yeah,

684
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: all right, before we move on to our o t

685
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: A segment, let's get somebody on the horn. Well, yeah,

686
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: he is a man that he has right, he does.

687
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: In fact, he was a man that never wore underwear,

688
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: famously went commando is right years decades. I was on

689
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: the road with him for quite a while, and I

690
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,959
Speaker 1: wish you guys had told me that like one layer

691
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: of denim separated you from the man's another region. But

692
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: it all changed once he tried on uh me Andy's

693
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 1: And now he's on the line from his his house

694
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: and disarray somewhere in southern Los Angeles. It is Mark Sessler. Friend, Mark,

695
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: we thank you so much for coming and calling, calling

696
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: in on your on your vacation. You know it means

697
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: a lot to us, but you know it's an important

698
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: for you to finally, I don't know, bury the hatchet

699
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: with Sydney in this her final show. Well, let me

700
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: tell you where the hatchet actually Live. Sydney is an

701
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: ultra talent who we were lucky to have grace us

702
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: with her presence as a producer for two stints. They

703
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: were pristine. The hatchet lies with an NFL media managerial

704
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: contingent that could not compel her to stay in time.

705
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: That is where the hatchet lies. I could go on,

706
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: but it would not be good for my career. Don't

707
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: get fired, individuals. Yeah, well, I mean, well said it

708
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: is Mark, It's well said. We we wish it would

709
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: have worked out differently. I think it should be said

710
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: that Sidney has landed absolutely on our feet with a

711
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: great new job back at home in Utah. So everything

712
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: is great on that end. But Mark, do you have

713
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: any uh, Sydney, why don't you you and Mark talk

714
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: it out. As your last chance to talk on the show,

715
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna get out of the way here. Earlier in

716
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: the season, you know, there were some Carrie Underwood things

717
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: that went down, and I just would like to apologize

718
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: for that right here publicly on the air. I like

719
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: that you limit that only to this season. That's happened

720
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: multiple times. My concern for you, Sydney, and it really

721
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: is just more of a a brotherly big brotherly concern

722
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: is your materialism you are. I saw what happened to

723
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: you in Los Angeles. You came here and you saw

724
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: the listen. A little bit of recognition could propel you

725
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: into a producer's chair. And then when suddenly the car

726
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: breaks down you have some mishap with some sort of

727
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: material object, listeners will swoop in and they'll pay for it.

728
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: They'll just carry you around on a cloud. I mean,

729
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: maybe we think a little bit about our concern with

730
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: money and material objects. You were going back to a

731
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: very pure place Utah just was there in Salt Lake

732
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: City in the airport. I can smell the pjority in Utah.

733
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: Maybe get back to that wholesome place. If if I

734
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: were you, just maybe shrug l a off of you.

735
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: The smell of it, the stink of it, and the

736
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: managerial stink there is, Yeah, there is something to it.

737
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: The kingpin type analogy here that or parallels where you

738
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: were the Randy quaid uh in this scenario. And you

739
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 1: came to l A and you're around all us dirt eggs,

740
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: and now you've got to get back in the in

741
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: that movie was Amish Country. Now and this you're going

742
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: back to Utah where you're you're away from all this filth,

743
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: and that's a good thing, right. So yeah, going back

744
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: to my roots, trying to remember, you know, who I

745
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: am and where I came from, and you know, and

746
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: working at at Brigham Young University, I mean, basically the

747
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: purest place on earth. What about Disney, Yeah, I mean

748
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: it's a good point, Sydney. I did see like a

749
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: massive like cropping up of Disney images on Sydney's Instagram

750
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: and other various social media accounts. That part's gonna get

751
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: washed away. But I do think you're going back to

752
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: a really special place. I you know, listen, I returned

753
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: to work with an ax in my hand and acts

754
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: of fire and it will be aimed at management, Sydney.

755
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: I know you're not serious. This ends when I say

756
00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: it ends. The thing I like about this stalker, maybe

757
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: Mickey will follow me home. Well, you know, Disney at home,

758
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: You're you're almost given. Mickey mix signals Sydney knowing that

759
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: she's leaving. She's not wasting any time she's on a

760
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: flight Sunday morning, she's out of here. She has been

761
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: to Disney World three times in the last six days. Ny,

762
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: She's she's getting as many. I'm watching you right. You

763
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: turn around and Sully's dead with four teen stab wounds.

764
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: He's hanging upside down in the production. Mark. By the way,

765
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: Mark your thoughts on Ryan Grigson Um being hired by

766
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: the Browns real quick. Well, as long as he's stashed

767
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: deep down the org chart, just like in our own company,

768
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: I'd be fine with that very you know, hard to

769
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: make high level decisions if you're deep down on the ladder.

770
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: I don't overall, It's just it's a little disquieting. I

771
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: didn't need that on my vacation. And all right, any

772
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 1: final thoughts Mark, before you go. Sydney's last show today,

775
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: some good ones. She is at the top of the list.

776
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,840

Speaker 1: ax is for someone else, and they're going to feel

781
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: it's terrifying alright, Marca enjoyed the rest. That was like

00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: both extremely sweet terrifying as that's Mark. That's Mark. Yeah,

785
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: I feel at peace now that's been resolved. Carrie Underwood thing,

786
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: Uh what can you just refresh my memory on that? Um?

787
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: I would love to. Yeah, I'm just trying to jog back.

788
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: And I wish you would hit him with the one before.

789
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: Remember that would not have been good for you Knowloure

790
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: Um hit us. At some point during the show said

791
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on. Uh, it is time to

792
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: talk about Greg wrote a banger. He's not gonna brag

793
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: about it all. Brag form what matters and what doesn't

794
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: during O t A season, the first full week of

795
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: O t S are in the books, and we're gonna

796
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: go down a list here and really dig in, uh

797
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: with what's going on? And you know, like I said,

798
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: should people really be paying attention? Let's start with Brock Osweiler.

799
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: All right, Brock, who, of course, now speaking of the Browns,

800
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: is John just I just want to a basic baseline,

801
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: give me an idea. Do you know what's going on

802
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 1: with brock I do. This is something I know about.

803
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: It was a very NBA trade because they wanted to

804
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: so I know all about this. Barnewell predicted it, uh

805
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: and came to fruition. I think it's amazing. I also

806
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: think it's amazing that brock Oswalder still believes in brock

807
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: Oswilder Like, good for you. I guess somebody show some

808
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: some people believe. There are people out there that believe

809
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: that the Browns might even read Bill Barnwell's column and

810
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: then and followed that path. But anyway, brock Oswiler is

811
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: now in a situation where he's either the second or

812
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: third string quarterback the Browns or won't make the Browns uh.

813
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: And he met with the media and a lot of

814
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: things have changed since last year when he was the

815
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: unquestioned number one guy that was supposed to be getting

816
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: the Texans over the hump. So he had this slightly

817
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: awkward exchange with a Cleveland based sports reporter. Are you

818
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: good enough to be a starting quarterback in this league?

819
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely absolutely why? I think the proof is

820
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: in the film for the past two years. But some

821
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: people would say the proof out from last year. That's okay,

822
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: that's awkward. Yeah, he didn't as bad as I spect.

823
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: The reporter didn't need to come back with that last Yeah,

824
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: the reporter's got to calm down a little. He was

825
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: trying to seek out a confrontation with the guy. Um

826
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: he got buried for the film last year. Would you

827
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: believe in? I will tell you what the film is.

828
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: He I think what he's getting at and he got

829
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: killed on Twitter for this and okay, rightfully so uh

830
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: and West and I have had our battles about whether

831
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: he led the Texans to the playoffs. But he had

832
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: some moments. I'll sight the game in Mexico City against

833
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I'm not saying he played greater the laser game,

834
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: so he's probably thinking about that or a couple other moments.

835
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: There were no moments in my mind really in Houston,

836
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: and he if maybe in his mind he said the

837
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: film the last two years, so he's definitely including that.

838
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: Denver film got John Oway to offer him sixteen million

839
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: dollars a year, and it got Houston to offer him

840
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars a year, so people thought he was

841
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: pretty good. Let me make it clear I'm not saying

842
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: the proof is in the film, trying to think what

843
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: he was thinking when he had a couple of moments

844
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: here and there last year, But most he gets paid

845
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: sixteen million dollars, So I guess you could say whatever

846
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: you want. But that's also a like as reporters, right,

847
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: I've I've been at a lot of these and you're

848
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: talking to athletes, and like, what do you expect him

849
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: to say? Right hand saying like he was trying to

850
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: get the reporters trying to get a little nugget, like

851
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: a little conversation where a confrontation going. If you're brock Oswalder,

852
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: what are you supposed to say? No, man, I suck

853
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: you are right. I can't believe that that was a

854
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: bad idea. He said that later too, He's like, you

855
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: wouldn't have any respect for me if I said I

856
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: want to come in here and be a backup and

857
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: I say, yeah, this little exchange doesn't matter. But this

858
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,720
Speaker 1: whole brock Oswilder thing does matter a little bit because

859
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: listening to Hugh Jackson, like, I just see that brock

860
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: Osweiler is going to be starting games for them. Maybe

861
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: it's not week one, but I think he's gonna get

862
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: his turn. I can't believe it. Okay, moving on, Sheldon Richardson,

863
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: the Jets defensive tackle, the Battle Jets defensive tackle. He's

864
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: been on the trade block for about six months now,

865
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: still a member of the Jets. He showed up uh

866
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: for O T A. S. And of course, if you're

867
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, you know very well that after the

868
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: Week three loss against the Chiefs, that is the famous

869
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick's sixth interception game. Uh, there was a big

870
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: confrontation between Richardson and Brandon Marshall in the locker room

871
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: after the game. It got so heated that Todd Bowles

872
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: had to come into the locker room and shut it

873
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: down from becoming free for all. UH, full fisticuff situation

874
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: is how it's been reported. And and that was and

875
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: again this is the story of the two thousand and

876
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: sixteen Jets that broke the team. They the locker room

877
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: was done after that and only got worse. And Sheldon

878
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: Richardson spoke with reporters for the first time, and this

879
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: is what he had to say. He clearly wasn't ready

880
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: to completely move on from how he was portrayed last year.

881
00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:10,240
Speaker 1: Locker rooms a whole lot easier to get. He's thirsty.

882
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: I just say, you got fifty reasons why I ain't

883
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: wise better Brandon Marshall's number fifteen. So there you go.

884
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't know who the woman was in the background

885
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: that that felt the need to compliment Sheldon, well done,

886
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: well done. It's like unnecessary, but it was. I think

887
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: there were guys also complimenting him too. You know, you

888
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: don't have to turn this into a woman's rights is yo.

889
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about that particular woman A little at the top,

890
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: little O T T. I'm gonna help you out here. Yeah,

891
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: got back away from this part of it. Yeah, did

892
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: you do the Jets lead the league in locker room five?

893
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: That's two years in a row, right, Smith cracked. I

894
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: love that about the Jets. It's consistently the most interesting

895
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: thing about them. Their dys function makes them interesting. Love

896
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: locker room I mean, frankly, just happens with the It

897
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: happens with everybody. The only thing is how often do

898
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: you hear about it? I mean, it's not unusual to

899
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: have a locker room fight. It's more unusual for it

900
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: to get out and for us to hear about it,

901
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 1: but when it does happens, that's one of my favorites.

902
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: Love him. I loved him saying yea, because he's That's

903
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: what this whole article or idea was sort of like

904
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: everyone is so thirsty for information in May because people

905
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: are such big football fans even though there's not real

906
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: news to talk about now that they're all back on

907
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: the field, we just have to like make up a lot.

908
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: That's fun. It's fun. There's a difference between there's a difference.

909
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: He gave us what we wanted to. He gave up.

910
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: There's a difference between the reporter and the reporter at

911
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: an in Jersey. I thought, yes, but it is the

912
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: same type of thing that people are just want new info.

913
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: We want to spin forward. Uh, it could have been

914
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: a man like if you think about it, it is wild,

915
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 1: like people say, like I think as a whole everybody

916
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: in there right people are saying, like journalism in trouble,

917
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: like you know, we're all gonna lose their jobs. Meanwhile,

918
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: there's thirty five people in the Jets locker room, like

919
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 1: surrounding their defensive tackle on maybe you know twenty because

920
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: guys are out practicing in shorts. They're not even playing football.

921
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: They're just kind of like jogging around and we got four.

922
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It's brutal. That's brutal. Being in the

923
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: reporter's role though, at this time of year and you're

924
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: in there and you're searching for something to talk about

925
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: and write about and report on. It's awful. Like in

926
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: the comments section, you'll see somebody say, oh, it must

927
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: have been a slow newsday, like two was short. I

928
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 1: would say, it doesn't matter. Sheldon's got a little fire

929
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,760
Speaker 1: in his belly and make the ship on the shoulder.

930
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: He's playing for a contract. He sure is moving on

931
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 1: a couple of notable players back on the field. Let's

932
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 1: start with Rob Gronkowski. Gronk who is coming off his

933
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: seven thousandth surgery. Uh, this latest one was on his

934
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: on his back. Of course, it wiped out the back

935
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: half of his season. And how much do we get

936
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: what kind of I'm looking at right now, Actually, I'm

937
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: curious how much he's actually done. He's been cleared, he's

938
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: on the he was on the field of practice. So

939
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: that's a really good sign. And what I really think,

940
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: I honestly feel this way, and my patriot hatred runs

941
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: deep but Gronk. I've always liked Um and Gronk. I

942
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: feel like it's a pivotal year for him. I feel

943
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: like if he doesn't stay healthy again, and the and

944
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots are as as we know, pretty hardcore when

945
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: it comes to business decisions. They might say, you make

946
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: a lot of money. They just restructured that deal. Uh,

947
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 1: we don't know if he can deal with another view

948
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: of of you being hurt. He's been hurt a lot.

949
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: The foretelling of the end of Gronk is in your predictions,

950
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: like your lineage of amazing predictions, like right next to

951
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady prediction, this is I love that you're

952
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: calling your shot on this. I'm not. I don't want

953
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: it to happen because I like rock and I and

954
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: I want him to be on the radar. But how

955
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: much how much does his body have left when it

956
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: seems to be breaking down every year? Now? I think

957
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots are worried about it. I think you're thinking

958
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: the same way. He's not a normal He's not a regular.

959
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: What is he twenty nine by now? I think he's

960
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: younger than he's he's uh, yeah, he just turned twenty eight.

961
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: Not a normal eight year old in terms of you

962
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: would not expect his career to last another five years.

963
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. His body right now seems good

964
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: enough to celebrate a touchdown with a reverse chess bump.

965
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: ESPN is reporting, so I think that's the reverse chess bump.

966
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: That would be a back bump, wouldn't it. Yeah, right,

967
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't the reverse of that be? I think it matters

968
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: though I say this, this is kind of the only thing,

969
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: almost the only thing that does matter in O T

970
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: A S Is you get proof of guys, whether they're

971
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: healthy or not. He has had very few off seasons

972
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: where he's been on the field. So J. J. Watt

973
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: is back doing everything. Gronk is back on the field

974
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: doing everything. Keenan Allen's back on the field doing everything.

975
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: That's like proof because the coaches don't tell you anything.

976
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: They're never straight, so you only know it if they're

977
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: if they're out doing it. And ye, by the way,

978
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: you're throwing me some like sexism shade collegue. Did you

979
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: see no? Because it's a I'm transitioning to um the transition.

980
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah to Rob Gronkowski's latest video. Uh yeah, he was

981
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: in a new video with a Vegas d DJ who No,

982
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: I would have put him quite at that level in

983
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: terms of popularity, but he is. He does this thing

984
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: on the on the strip. Is this the song or

985
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 1: is this this would be what the song might sound

986
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: like if we had even the slightest amount of wiggle

987
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: room for playing music that has copied righted on the show,

988
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: even though we absolutely could, we have to play this.

989
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: Let's turn this up a little bit. It's gronk like

990
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: in a tank top with glow sticks, a champagne top.

991
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, the video, Colleen, since you ask, amazing,

992
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: it is about a dream he's having. He's trying to

993
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: talk to a woman. The art it's three low uh.

994
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: He's trying to speak to a woman at a bar

995
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: in Vegas, but his mind keeps on drifting. And the

996
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 1: things that a drift drifts to is doing a car

997
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 1: wash with a bunch of bikini cloud women, being being

998
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: the centerpiece of a sushi dish um uh him and

999
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: seared soaping him up. He looks like a Hot Boys

1000
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: video from when I was in high school. It looks

1001
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: like definitely has sort of a yeah a callback either

1002
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: eighties or looks like every Hearty's commercial ever. Yeah, and

1003
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: then it ends with a pillow fight in a bouncy

1004
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 1: house with women in lingerie. So now let's go after Gronk.

1005
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 1: Let me out of this. What I'm saying, Grounk cuts

1006
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,479
Speaker 1: a lot of passes for being Gronk. On the other hand,

1007
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: like what I if he was going to do something

1008
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: um smarter and more sophisticated and clever, that would be

1009
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: entirely off brand. Yeah, like if he wasn't just giggling

1010
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 1: at certain numbers him right now. Yeah, it's very sure.

1011
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: That's like a sex in the City episode rip off.

1012
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: What do you think his business um manager? Like if

1013
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: if if you come to Grunt with an idea and yeah,

1014
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: Mojo Rawley, that wrestler that he's best friends with, shows

1015
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 1: up in everything, soy sauce on very strange. Do you

1016
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: think his business manager has ever said no to anything?

1017
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: Does he have a business manager? Moving on? Moving on?

1018
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater yea Teddy Bridgewater trying to make it back

1019
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: from that devastating knee injury suffered last August. Uh. The

1020
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: Vikings posted a video on Tuesday afternoon, a forty second

1021
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: clip that showed Bridgewater uh making progress. Uh. It was

1022
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 1: a slow motion but taking various drops firing football's. Uh.

1023
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: During O t A s he was wearing a large

1024
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: brace and sleeve on a surgically repaired knee. Uh, this one, Greg,

1025
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: this one matters right because there there was talk we

1026
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 1: still don't know how ready is. Everybody's wearing shorts, but

1027
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: just the fact that he's on the field at all

1028
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: tells us that he's made progress from August until now. Yeah,

1029
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: it's a huge surprise. It's it's it's strange how it

1030
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: came out that they released like a hype video essentially

1031
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: with like inspirational music, but the meat, you know, it

1032
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: happens in no no nofers a little different than grons

1033
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: like they were. They wanted to make it clear the

1034
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: next day that he's not practicing like that was sort

1035
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: of part of his rehab. He's taking some reps as

1036
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: part of his rehab, but he's not really out there

1037
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 1: fully practicing. He just got clear to move laterally. But

1038
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: it's sure sound. It sure looks like he's gonna be

1039
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: playing football, And people who were talking about that it

1040
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: could be a career ender again or this year, you

1041
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: think not even why even guess, Yeah, there was still

1042
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: there was a real thought out there that he was

1043
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: undone doone. It was that an injury, and it could

1044
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: still be the case, but we're seeing signs of progress.

1045
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: The one thing that works in his favor. When you

1046
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 1: see these type of catastrophic injuries, a lot of times

1047
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: it is the skill player running back. We saw that

1048
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: with Marcus Lattimore Willison mc gaie, who actually came back

1049
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: from it. But usually it's in a position where it's

1050
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: vital to have cutting ability and speed and you never

1051
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: get all that back. Bridgewater is probably never gonna be

1052
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: the same athlete as he was before. Who knows, but

1053
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: probably not, but a quarterback position, you might be able

1054
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: to survive this. Not that Culpepper actually had a similar injury.

1055
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: He didn't. He did make it back. Was never close

1056
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: to the same player. No, I just saw your reaction

1057
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: when he mentioned Dante Culpepper was No. I was just

1058
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: thinking what Dan said that he was not the same player.

1059
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: Bridgewater was a great scrambler. I mean the fact that

1060
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: he's on the field now, I would you would think,

1061
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: would give some hope that, who knows, maybe maybe he

1062
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: would be playing at some point again this year. Yeah,

1063
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the worry, too, was about

1064
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: possible nerve damage with the a c L like Jalen

1065
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: Smith had, But it doesn't look like that's going to

1066
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: be an issue. G GC, don't no, don't give into this.

1067
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: GC is not a thing. It's totally a thing. Um.

1068
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if have we talked about on the podcast.

1069
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: John Gonzalez did right now. I was gonna trying to

1070
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: give us backstory. I've been shaming back stories in general.

1071
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: So I decided not to good call GC. That's tell

1072
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: the world. Put it on a T shirt. Let's move

1073
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: some munity on a T shirt. You guys came for

1074
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: the FOURTI birthday. You saw a number of things, not

1075
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: the least of which was one of my friends made

1076
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: a T shirt. Buddy Staley did it to me too.

1077
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's not a thing if it's on a

1078
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: T shirt, Hey Staley, Nice team. Eric Decker Speaking of surprises,

1079
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: Eric Decker, uh participate participated in some Jets team drills. Uh,

1080
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: wearing a non contact jersey, but was moving well. Made

1081
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: a diving catch at one point. Everybody's excited. Uh. Eric

1082
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: Decker stuck on a bad Jets team and a subject

1083
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: of potential trade rumors as well. Kind of makes sense

1084
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: for him to get moved. But if if he's not

1085
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna be moved, him being on the field and may uh,

1086
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, it tells us that he'll probably be ready

1087
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: for the start of the season, which was also not

1088
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: necessarily assumed when he first went down with a double

1089
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: shoulder hip surgery last season. That matters has to be

1090
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: in New York was saying that you could miss all

1091
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: of training camp as recently as two months ago. He's

1092
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: definitely beaten that the way. I definitely think Eric Decker, uh,

1093
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: if he's healthy and it looks like he's going in

1094
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: the right direction, could help a contender in a big way.

1095
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,959
Speaker 1: And we don't see wide receiver trades in the middle

1096
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: of a season a lot, but let's see that maybe

1097
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: you can move him to and get a team that

1098
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: really wants looking to get over the hunt hump on offense,

1099
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: maybe get a second or third round pick. Yeah, I

1100
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: don't know how much it matters in terms of like

1101
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: the Jets since they're rebuilding right now. But because there's

1102
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: so many young guys, especially in that wide receiver group,

1103
00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at them, there's so many rookies

1104
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: and second year guys Quincy and Noon Wall, Robbie Anderson.

1105
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Not a bad It's not a bad group. They have

1106
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: a lot of bad just not they. You were all

1107
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: about their wide receiver group last year and now still

1108
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: that's right. I was. I was really big on Quincy

1109
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: and Noon Wall. Yeah. By the way, bad job by

1110
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: your Eagles. The Noon Temple guy correct undrafted, he's in

1111
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 1: your backyard. I talked to DJ about this movie and

1112
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: a Temple guy. Oh you know what I'm thinking of

1113
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: Anderson excitement. Where did Quincy? And I'm not sure he

1114
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: was not actually drafted, but um, Robbie Anderson, who's another

1115
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: Jet prospect. I really like a Temple guy undrafted? And

1116
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: I remember talking to Sticks before the season started and

1117
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: he was like, the Eagles are having major wide receiver issues.

1118
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 1: This guy's a little playmaker and they just let him.

1119
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: They're just waiting on Nelson and I got order, remember

1120
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: that he has to catch the ball and then they're

1121
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. It's great moving on Roberto Aguay. You know,

1122
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited about this Buck's kickers. You talk about the

1123
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: US all the time. Camp freaking wait and John's clapping

1124
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: his hands. I'm this is this is wonderful. I love

1125
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: this guy, Roberto Oguayo, the second round pick kicker that

1126
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: was the second round pick of the Bucks last year.

1127
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Let it raps it. I'm tired of the kicker talk too,

1128
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: so no at least sing it though. Yeah, yeah, that's

1129
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: all right. Hit it again. You can hit me on

1130
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: it again. I don't care. I won't freak. That's it.

1131
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: You're fired immediately after this show. Um Roberto Aguayo one

1132
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: for four kicking on narrow uprights on Tuesday, and Nick Fulk,

1133
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,479
Speaker 1: who was the veteran brought in with a seven thousand

1134
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: dollar guarantee coming his way, bang four for four on

1135
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: field goals. So right away it's over. I mean, I'm

1136
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: not gonna say the matters, but it certainly doesn't doesn't

1137
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: not matter. Let me go ahead the one to answer

1138
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: that it matters. This is the most matter of all

1139
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: the matters that we've had in this question. It's a

1140
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: kicker conversation about this poor guy who was drafted way

1141
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: too high and stumbled through various concerns last year. Now

1142
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: can't even make it uh without any pressure. He missed

1143
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: and that's the end. He missed three kicks through and

1144
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: that was eight feet hydrama. It's quarterback competition and competition,

1145
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: it's tough. These are on the narrow goal post to

1146
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: like there's articles and dead spin. You wrote an article

1147
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Times is like it starts off his

1148
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: season on the wrong foot, Like what happened on the

1149
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 1: wrong foot? Like what happened on Wednesday and Thursday? Maybe

1150
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: he made some kicks, then it doesn't Matter's the problem

1151
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: with the t A that it does? It does speak

1152
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: to an issue, But I think it does matter. It's

1153
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: not the end for Robbie, but it does matter for

1154
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: his confidence, I think, because then, well it's not getting better.

1155
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,439
Speaker 1: Here's a here's a dispatch from Joe bucks fan dot com.

1156

Speaker 1: right field goal post from thirty yards. After his third effort,

1161
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: practice went silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ninety

1162
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,919
Speaker 1: players plus coaches, many just b sing and drinking water

1163
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: during the kicking period. We're quiet. This is a thing.

1164
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: It's a real thing going on with this team. This

1165
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: poor kid is two months away from hurling whiskey bottles

1166
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: at the wall. It is coming up fast on him.

1169
01:03:48,080 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: You didn't think I had it for this, but we're

1170
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna take you inside robbi Oguire's head during those four

1171
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: field goal kicks. Ready, I suck, I suck, I suck, suck.

1172
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: That's in there. You don't want to be in that

1173
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: guy's head. It's a tough situation in there. What are

1174
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: you looking for? You're looking for him. I was wering

1175
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: what it was like when he when he did make

1176
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: that one, and how did you get access to that?

1177
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. I don't I never reveal my sources.

1178
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 1: I will tell you it was a triple source situation.

1179
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: That's impressive. Moving on, Aaron Donald, not at o t

1180
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: as for the Rams and please Greg shoot this one down. Yeah,

1181
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: this is This was on my list of things we

1182
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 1: don't need to cover over the next three months, so

1183
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: we can be short, like spoiler alert, he's going to

1184
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: sign the contract. We don't need daily updates and it

1185
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter that one of the best players in

1186
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: the league isn't practicing in shorts and voluntary work. In

1187
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: the end, he's going to sign the contract and we'll

1188
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 1: all move on. He's really good the Rams. No, he's

1189
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: good the Rams. No. He wants a new deal and

1190
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: he deserves the Raids, so they got to do it

1191
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: to get him back on the field. Uh, Novarro Bowman

1192
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: expects to start? And why is this notable? Greg? You

1193
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 1: wrote about this? Why is Bowman saying that he expects

1194
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: to start? Uh? Why is that something that we should

1195
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: care about? Why does it matter? Why? I thought it

1196
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: mattered that Kyle Shanahan came out and he made it

1197
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: clear Navarro Bowman, who's pretty much the biggest best leader

1198
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: on that team, that the best player on that team

1199
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 1: for many years, doesn't even have a starting job guaranteed.

1200
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: He said, one of their good players is not going

1201
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: to be playing a full complement of snaps. He was

1202
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 1: talking about him, the first round pick, Reuben Foster, Malcolm Smith,

1203
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: who they gave a lot of money into it free agency,

1204
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: And it's this kind of that new coach move that like,

1205
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: if you weren't here before I got here, watch out.

1206
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Don't they all have to. You're on the radar. Watch it, Gonzo,

1207
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: you're pointing at me. I was not here. He's on

1208
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:57,800
